Chapter 77 Beldan Remains Calm in the Flames of War
Latest website address: Backlund, 16 Edmund Street, Hillston District.
This is a very ordinary single-family house with a large living room on the first floor, a dining room with good lighting, two guest rooms, a bathroom, a basement, a kitchen extending to the back, and four bedrooms on the second floor. A living room, a sunroom, a study, a remodeled bathroom, and a large balcony.
"Although the area is not very large, the decoration is very exquisite and has a vague "fairy tale" style, which is somewhat similar to some rooms in the "Emerald City"....
"That's right. The queen lives here alone. If the house is big and doesn't hire servants or housekeepers, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. This size is just right."
"Queen of the Stars" Cattleya, who relied on the "Messenger" to lead the way to this place, was thinking and looking around the house. "The one in the room was half turned upside down on the table... After the snacks and coffee were prepared, they were not touched or put away...
"This is not the Queen's habit!
"Even if she doesn't take care of it herself, she will let her 'invisible servants' do it..."
"And there are no signs of fighting in the room...So, did you leave suddenly because of something?"
Seeing the traces of "life" on the table in the living room, Cattleya frowned and quickly entered the "renovated bathroom" connected to the bedroom.
I saw that the eye-catching "emerald" bathtub was filled with water, and there were dried water stains on the floor. The Queen's home clothes that she had taken off were also placed on the surrounding shelves...
Cattleya has always known that the "Queen of Mystery" has a hobby of "taking baths". Even if she is promoted to Demigod or even Queen of Angels, it has not changed. But judging from the situation here, she should have put on her clothes and went out in the middle of taking a bath. clothes left, so the clothes at home are still here...
"It's true that I left in a hurry, but most of the remaining 'information' has been processed, and the matter is obviously not urgent enough to be immediate... That's why the Queen wrote to me so that I don't have to worry."
A pair of transparent eyes appeared on Cattleya's head. They had no eyelashes and stared at every corner of the bathroom indifferently.
"But what can make the Queen give up her 'elegance' and deal with it impatiently?"
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Cattleya put away the "Eye of Peeping Secrets", then turned back to the living room and picked up the half-opened book that the queen had opened.
It was a book published by Russell the Great, but compared to his enduring works, it is not well-known, and the writing is very immature. It is difficult to imagine that it is the same as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". " and other works are by the same author.
Cattleya flipped through it casually, and felt that in addition to the wild imagination in the book, which was very "Russell"-like, the whole text also had great logical problems, and the composition of many stories in it was very similar. After reading one of the paragraphs, the follow-up The plot can be guessed at random.
"This should be the work of the Emperor when he was a boy...but why did the Queen flip through this book and seem to have taken a lot of notes?
"Also, the created word 'traveler' has been highlighted by the Queen. What does it mean?
"Well, the protagonist of this book seems to be a 'traveler', who can gain endless spirituality by eating 'sweet potatoes'? What does the coined word 'sweet potato' mean?" "
Full of questions, Cattleya put away the book and prepared to go back and study it carefully. If she really couldn't understand, she would ask Mr. "Tower" for help, or even waste precious opportunities to ask questions to get the answer from Mr. "Fool".

Jianhai County, Beldan City.
Although Fusac's vanguard troops have penetrated deeply into Jianhai County, the clouds of war have not enveloped this newly emerged "Film and Television City".
At first, many people were worried that this place would become a front line and a battlefield, but the escort of the Viscount Mansion quickly calmed people down.
Because whether it was the broken troops who retreated from the front line and looted everywhere, or the small advance team of Fusac who bypassed Constant's defense line, they were all attacked by the Viscount's escort just as they approached Beldan.
A clean annihilation of the lads.
This made Beldan and even a large area around it a chaotic "forbidden zone".
It is precisely because of good public security, sufficient food supply, stable prices, and numerous jobs that Berdan not only had no population exodus during the war, but also attracted many people from Jianhai County who lost their homes under Fusac's artillery fire. Come over.
Outside Beldan, guard member Byers was sitting in a steam-powered open vehicle with several colleagues. There is also a high-pressure steam machine gun mounted at the rear of the car, which can fire nearly 300 rounds of bullets per minute. It is a well-deserved killing weapon.
Half a month ago, their crew of three vehicles, relying on three machine guns, wiped out a broken army of about 200 people in a maneuver.
Speaking of which, these armed chariots were personally purchased by the Viscount shortly after the war broke out. The number was not very large, and there were less than a hundred of them in the entire Beldan territory, and each one was marked with the "Morning Star" trademark.
But the strange thing is that Byers had not heard of this arms company.
Of course, the biggest reliance of their crew was not the high-voltage machine guns on the three tanks, but the beautiful girl sitting next to Byers.
She was a cheerful and smiling girl with a pair of cute dimples. She had fresh and neat short golden hair, her face was full of energy, and her words were full of confidence that was inconsistent with her age.
She never mentioned her real name. As an ordinary maid in the maid group of the Viscount Mansion, she only said that the lord personally gave her a codename called "Lightning".
Originally, the companions in the crew didn't know why she had this code name, until a few days ago, they encountered an advance team infiltrated by Fusac.
Almost all the members of that team were Extraordinaries, and the leader of the team was a strong man who could release a large amount of terrifying light with one sword strike.
Such an opponent made the crew of the Sequence 8 "Rageful People", whose strongest was Byers, fall into despair.
But at this time, "Lightning" took action, and she didn't see any movement. The enemies in the advance team coughed one after another, and almost all of them lost their combat effectiveness.
Before the captain could react, he was hit by a thick lightning chain and fell into a passive state.
"Lightning" put the removed hairpin back in a leisurely manner, and then signaled everyone to use the "bullet chain" of the machine gun to "tear" the captain.
After this battle, everyone on the crew had sincere respect for Miss "Lightning" who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
When he recalled the battles that had taken place over the past month, three chariots had already approached the entrance to Beldan's city gate, and Byers finally came back to his senses.
After changing shifts with the next group of convoys patrolling out of the city, Byers refused his teammates' invitation to go to the bar and ran toward the train station alone.
He wanted to say goodbye to his sweetheart, because the new movie starring her was about to be released around the world, and as the heroine, she was going to Backlund to attend the premiere.
