Beckland steam train station, the third platform.
After talking with parents and sister for a while, Alfred seized the gap before departure, left the train, came to the platform, and said to a Huo:
"Give me a East Balam cigarette."
If there are any negative effects on him from these years of experience, apart from some mental suffering and pain, there are only a few bad habits left.
After smoking more "East Balam cigarettes" made by directly wrapping roasted tobacco leaves with spices and herbs, Alfred is completely unsuitable for northern continent's popular paper cigarettes.
As for cigars, he thinks it needs a good environment to taste slowly, not suitable for now.
Of course, his smoking addiction is not big. An "Disciplinary Knight" has enough physique and spirit to resist this effect. The reason why Alfred comes to the platform to smoke is because he thinks that the cabin is too stuffy, and his mother is always Mention your marital problems.
Wait until Hu Hu took out and ignited the "East Balam cigarette", Alfred put this outer layer of brown and black item close to his mouth and took a deep breath.
The strong smell soaked into his body, and his spirit was suddenly aroused.
At this time, he saw a classically sculpted blond man lead the body servant walked over.
Alfred hesitated, smiled, and raised his right hand:
"Hibbert, I thought you would not return to East Chester."
The comer is the eldest son of Earl Hall, brother of Alfred, Lord Hibbert Hall.
Hibbert outlines a perfectly ceremonial smile:
"I am only a cabinet secretary, not a cabinet chief secretary, and I will not be so busy that I don’t even have a weekend."
In fact, he will not be the Secretary of the Cabinet chief. His main purpose is to accumulate experience in different positions of various government departments, build his own network of resources, and prepare for the future entry into higher parliament.
Alfred smoked another "East Balam cigarette" and smiled and said:
"Happy weekend."
After watching Hibbert enter the car, Alfred vaguely felt that someone was looking here, doing a discussion:
"Why are there no passengers waiting for that train?"
"It doesn't seem to be full."
"haha, that is a special train, a influential figure expensive gold pound booked in advance, I know that you may not have seen similar situations, but remember, this is in Beckland, in Constant's, etc. In big cities, it happens from time to time. When those influential figures take their families out, they must have followed hundreds of servants, maybe there are pets, how can they squeeze a train with ordinary people..."
"This way..."
"I don’t know which influential figure?"
Alfred looked sideways, and saw dozens of people in gray-blue uniforms on the second platform crossing the track where there was no train, quietly looking over here.
The distance between the two sides is actually not small. Without Alfred's outstanding listening ability, it is impossible to figure out what those people are discussing.
"They are?" Alfred asked his adjutant sideways.
He can only recognize that the uniforms worn by those people belong to the railway company.
The lieutenant immediately turned around, found the staff in charge of this station, and asked about it.
Soon, he came back trotting and whispered to Alfred:
"General, they are train dispatchers from all over the Kingdom and are undergoing a short-term training at Beckland."
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 3-4 ten-year-old middle-aged. There are no lack of sideburns.

Sunya Sea, "City of Generosity" Bayam.
Verduti took a small suitcase with no valuable item, took a boat at night, left the port, and boarded a pirate ship.
——The Sequence Seven of Apprentice path is not very good at fighting. Although Verdue carries magical item, he is quite afraid of negative effects and he is unwilling to use it until the critical moment. Therefore, in order to avoid danger, he tried not to Bring something that can easily cause greed in others.
The pirate on the deck glanced at Verdu and smiled:
"Don’t be afraid, we all keep our promises. As long as you pay enough for the boat ticket, we will definitely not throw you into the sea. Here, you are even safer than taking a passenger ship, at least don’t worry about encountering pirates ."
Seeing that Verdu remained silent, he seemed a little scared. The pirate threw the key to him proudly:
"The second floor on the deck, the innermost room."
Virdu took the brass-colored key, entered the cabin, climbed the stairs, and walked down the hallway to the deepest point.
This level seems to be specially prepared for those who take the pirate ship for various reasons. During the journey, Verdu met several passengers who were completely different from pirates.
There are clothes in them that are slightly exposed, like a young lady of street prostitute, a middle-aged man with a bulging belly and a greasy face, and a cloak, wearing a top hat, a very cold young man.
"Do you want to live with me?" The girl asked Verdur and came to smile, and asked with a smile, not knowing whether she planned to do some business along the way, or hurry up while doing business.
Virdu ignored her, turned his gaze, and came outside his room.
The young man with a deep profile and hard lines stopped at the door diagonally opposite.
…………
Beckland, western district, 9 Bellotto Street.
"Please come in." Quinn straightened up from the large seat.
The office door opened with a creak, and two MI9 members of the Quinn team came in.
"Colonel, we have gained some results from our investigation of utopia." One of the men in dark jackets handed a report to Quinn.
Quinn is slightly shocked and refreshed at the same time:
"What is it?"
The man in the dark jacket simply said:
"In the past few days, we took advantage of the idleness of the last task and handed over the passengers of the steam train and all the passengers in Beckland in person and through the informant."
Undoubtedly, he refers to the steam train that accidentally stopped utopia.
"Um." Quinn nodded and signaled his subordinates to continue.
The man in the deep jacket pointed and reported:
"We initially confirmed that none of the passengers who successfully arrived at Beckland had abnormalities, had a good mental state, and had a no problem.
"However, we discovered one thing. At that time, not everyone returned to the train. According to the two passengers, their seatmates chose to stay in Utopia.
"That is a lady who loves travel and exploration. She has a deep love for strange places. After seeing Utopia’s excellent red wine, desserts and unique bubble ice tea, she decided to give up the original itinerary. The small town with a unique temperament will spend more time to discover more beauty.
"This is what the two passengers knew when chatting with her. They not only shared the seat, but also chose the same hotel to check in. They met in the early morning.
"That hotel and our intelligence officer live in the same house, called "Iris"."
Quinn slow nodded Road:
"Did you investigate the current situation of that lady?
"What is her name?"
"No, we can't determine whether she has left Utopia now." Another MI9 member with a small bush goatee replied, "The two passengers only know that the lady is Monica, it is not clear that she 'S last name and origin,"
Quinn un'ed:
"Your future task is to investigate the origin of this lady, find her family and friends, and confirm whether she has returned."
"Yes, Colonel." The two MI9 personnel saluted and exited Quinn's office.
Quinn 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 Gehrman Sparrow.
However, she could not report this news and earn merits.
Not to mention the question of intelligence sources first, the most important thing Quinn needs to consider is whether Gehrman Sparrow is willing to let this news leak.
Maybe you can try to contact Gehrman Sparrow and ask his opinion... Quinn thoughtfully packed up the table and left MI9.
After changing her outfit, she returned to eastern district and bridge district, went to different bars like an bounty hunter, and collected various news from different acquaintances.
During this process, she asked Utopia by the way, but no one had heard of it.
Finally, Quinn entered a bar located in the Beckland bridge district domain and sat on the bar stool, facing bartender:
"Is there anyone suspicious recently?"
"A lot of people are quite suspicious, but they do not have bounty hanging." bartender responded casually.
Quinn probed the news around this topic, and finally asked according to the process:
"Have you heard of utopia?"
"I heard that." bartender replied while wiping the glass.
Quinn is looking at the bar table's gaze slightly.
She looks at bartender said:
"Where did you hear about it?"
"I came to a guest before and was very restrained." bartender said indifferently, "I sell him our special bartender, he said he still has something to do, he can only drink a glass of beer, I Praised him a few words and asked where he came from, he said, utopia."

Wendel just heard breakfast and heard the doorbell ring.
Through the cat's eyes, he saw a policeman in a black and white uniform outside, and opened the door with some doubt.
"Excuse me, is there anything?" Wendell asked politely.
This house is the residence he assigned after coming to Beckland, because he will settle in this metropolis for a short period of time, subject to internal review and condition monitoring.
The policeman is still very young, a little bit awkward, in his early twenties.
He smiled and said to Wendell:
"Hello, I’m Byers, a policeman, and I want to ask you to testify in court."
"What case?" Wendell frowned slightly.
The young policeman named Byers said with a polite smile:
"The Utopian Trish Murder Case."
"..." Wendell's pupil dilated instantly.
