MTL - Lord of the Mysteries-v6 Chapter 70 Interaction

Beckland steam train station, third platform.

After talking with his parents and sister for a while, Alfred grasped the gap before departure, left the train, came to the platform, and said to a concubine:

"Give me a Dongbailang cigarette."

If there is any negative impact on him through the experience of these years, apart from some torture and pain in the spirit, there are only a few bad habits left.

After smoking a lot of "Eastern Tobacco Tobacco" made by directly covering the leaves with spices and herbs, Alfred is completely unsuited to the popular paper cigarettes in the northern continent. Spirits.

As for cigars, he thinks that it requires a good environment to taste slowly and is not suitable for now.

Of course, his smoking addiction is not great. A "punishment knight" has enough physique and spirit to counteract this influence. The reason why Alfred came to the platform to smoke was because he felt that the carriage was too stuffy and his mother always Mention your marriage.

After the uncle took out and lit the "Dongbailang smoke", Alfred brought the outer yellowish-black object to his mouth and took a deep breath.

The strong smell dipped into his body and made his spirit suddenly refreshed.

At this moment, he saw a blond man with a classic sculpture leading the body-man close to him.

Alfred hesitated, smiled, and raised his right hand:

"Hibert, I didn't think you would return to East Chester."

It was the eldest son of Earl Hall, the brother of Alfred, Lord Hibbert Hall.

Hibbert sketched a perfectly ceremonial smile:

"I'm just the Cabinet Secretary, not the Chief Secretary, and I won't be so busy that I don't have a weekend."

In fact, he will not be the chief secretary of the cabinet. His main purpose is to accumulate experience in different positions of multiple government departments, build his own network of resources, and prepare for future entry into the upper house.

Alfred took another sip of "Donby Byron" and said with a smile:

"happy weekend."

After watching Hibbert enter the compartment, Alfred vaguely felt that someone was looking here and discussing:

"Why is there no passenger waiting for that train?"

"It doesn't seem to be full."

"Haha, that's a special train. It was a big man who had expensive gold pounds booked in advance. I know you may not have seen anything like this, but remember, this is in Beckland, in Cons Occasionally, there are big cities such as Dun. When those big men go out with their families, they must follow hundreds of servants, maybe there are pets, how can they squeeze a train with ordinary people ... "

"So ..."

"I don't know which big man?"

Alfred looked sideways, and saw dozens of people in gray-blue uniforms on the second platform quietly looking over the track across the untrained track.

The distance between the two sides is not small. Without Alfred's excellent hearing, it would be impossible to figure out what those people are talking about.

"They are?" Alfred asked his adjutant, turning his head.

He could only recognize the uniforms worn by those who belonged to the railway company.

The lieutenant immediately turned around and found the staff responsible for the platform and asked about it.

Soon, he trot back and whispered to Alfred:

"General, they are train dispatchers from all over the kingdom and are undergoing a short training session at Bakerland."

Alfred nodded slightly and glanced at the second platform again.

The oldest train dispatchers have gray hair and the youngest look in their early twenties. Most of them are middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s.

…………

Sunya Sea, "the city of generosity" Bayam.

Verdu, carrying a suitcase with little valuables, took a boat at night, left the port, and boarded a pirate ship.

——Sequence 7 of the “Apprentice” route is not very good at fighting, and although Verdu is carrying magical items, he is quite afraid of negative effects and is unwilling to use it when he is not at the critical moment. Therefore, in order to avoid danger, he lacks trust in pirates Try not to bring things that are prone to greed.

The pirate on the deck glanced at Verdu and sneered:

"Don't be afraid, we all keep our promise. As long as you pay enough for the ticket, we will definitely not throw you into the sea. Here, you are even safer than taking a passenger ship, at least you don't have to worry about meeting pirates."

Seeing Verduil remained silent, a little scared, the pirate proudly threw the key to him:

"The second floor on the deck, the innermost room."

Verdu caught the brass key, entered the cabin, climbed the stairs, and walked down the corridor to the deepest level.

This level seems to be for those who board the pirate ship for various reasons. Verdu encountered several passengers who did not look like pirates along the way.

Inside, there were clothes that were slightly exposed, like a lady standing on the street, a middle-aged man with a protruding belly and a shiny face, and a young man with a cloak and a bowler hat.

"Do you want to live with me?" The girl saw Verduil coming over and asked with a smile, wondering whether she was going to do business along the way or hurry up when doing business.

Verduel ignored her, looked away, and went outside his room.

The deep-lined, hard-lined young man also stopped at the door diagonally across.

…………

Bakerland, West End, 9 Belotto Street.

"Please come in." Hugh straightened from the wide seat.

The office door squeaked open, and two MI-9 members belonging to Hugh's team came in.

"Colonel, we have learned something from the utopian investigation." One of the men in a dark jacket handed a report to Hugh.

Suddenly shocked and refreshed:

"What is it?"

The man in the dark jacket simply said:

"In the past few days, we took advantage of the time when the task had been handed over, and personally and through informants visited the passengers of that steam train, all passengers in Beckland.

There is no doubt that he was referring to the utopia steam train that had stopped by accident.

"Um." Hugh nodded and motioned to continue.

The man in the deep jacket pointed and reported:

"We initially confirmed that none of the passengers who successfully arrived in Bakerland had any abnormalities, were in a good state of mind, and had no problems with their cognition.

"However, we found out that not everyone was back on the train at the time, and according to the two passengers, their same seat chose to stay in Utopia.

"That is a lady who loves to travel and explore. She has a deep love for strange places. After seeing Utopia's excellent red wine, desserts and unique sparkling iced tea, she decided to give up her original itinerary. The temperamental town stays for a while and excavates more beauty.

"This was what the two passengers knew when chatting with her. Not only did they share the same seat, they also chose to stay in the same hotel and met in the early morning.

"That hotel is in the same house as our intelligence officer. It's called" Iris. "

Hugh nodded slowly:

"Is there any investigation into the situation of that lady?

"What's her name?"

"No, we can't determine whether she has left utopia now." Another MI-9 member with a small bush of goatee replied, "The two passengers only knew that the lady was Monica, not her. Last name and origin, "

Hugh said "um":

"The next task for you is to investigate the woman's history, find her family and friends, and confirm whether she has returned."

"Yes, Colonel." Two MI9 personnel saluted and quit Hugh's office.

Hugh carefully read the report they submitted again and sighed silently.

Compared to her subordinates, she is actually closer to the truth of Utopia. She already knows that it is a ritual and has a certain connection with Gullman Sparo.

However, she was unable to report the news and earn credit.

Leaving aside the question of sources of information, Hugh's most important consideration is whether Gelman Sparo is willing to let the news leak.

Perhaps you can try to contact Gelman Spallo and ask him for his opinion ... Hugh thoughtfully packed the table and left MI9.

After changing her dress, she returned to the East and Bridge Districts, went to different bars like a bounty hunter, and gathered various news from different acquaintances.

In the process, she asked Utopia by the way, but no one had heard of it.

Finally, I took a dip in a bar located in the Backland Bridge area, sat on the bar stools, and said to the bartender:

"Is there any suspicious person lately?"

"A lot of people are quite suspicious, but they have no bounty." The bartender responded casually.

Hugh revolved around this topic, inquired about the news, and finally followed the process and asked:

"Have you heard of utopia?"

"Have heard of it," the bartender answered as he wiped the glass.

Hugh Zheng's eyes looked up at the bar table.

She looked at the bartender and said:

"Where did you hear that?"

"I had a guest before, and I was very restrained." The bartender said indifferently. "I promoted our special bartender to him. He said he still had work to do and could only drink a glass of beer. I praised him A few words and asked where he came from, he said, Utopia. "

…………

As soon as Wendel had breakfast, he heard the doorbell ring.

Through the cat's eyes, he saw a policeman in a black-and-white checkered uniform outside, opening the door with a little doubt.

"Excuse me, is there anything?" Wendel asked politely.

This house was his assigned home when he came to Beckland, because he will settle in this metropolis for a short period of time, subject to internal review and condition monitoring.

The policeman was still very young, a little bit astringent, and in his early twenties.

He smiled and said to Wendel:

"Hello, my name is Byers, a police officer, and there is a case where I want to ask you to testify in court."

"What case?" Wendel frowned slightly.

The young policeman named Byers said with a polite smile:

"Utopia's Tracy Murder Case."

"..." Wendel's pupils dilated instantly.
