I don't know who shouted first, but the anger in everyone's hearts was immediately ignited, and the surrounded Victorian soldiers were immediately scolded.

"Who dares to speak like that? I will..."

Before he could utter the threat, an unidentified object hit him directly in the face.

"This is........"

With a gloomy face, he peeled off the thing stuck on his face.

"Rotten vegetable leaves?! 'Victoria foul language'! Who did it? Stand up right here!"

No one responded, or rather, their responses were only these dirty words and more rotten vegetable leaves.

The Victorian soldier put the iron rod back into his waist and then took off the crossbow.

It's time to teach these ungrateful Tara people a lesson.

"Haha, these Tara scum, look at me... "

Bagpipe beside him hurriedly stopped him.

That’s right, Bagpipe is here too. She originally came here to look for the family of Damian who was executed, but ended up walking into this farce by mistake.

Because she was wearing a Victorian military uniform, she naturally became the target of attack.

"It's really dangerous to hold a crossbow in the street. There are too many civilians around."

"who are you?"

The Victorian soldier who had just raised the crossbow looked at Bagpipe with a strange look and asked.

He took a look at Bagpipe's clothes and confirmed her identity. She might be a newcomer who had just been transferred from somewhere. It was normal not to know the situation in this place.

"Ah, I have a military order to investigate the case."

case?

"That bar murder? Tsk, the culprit might be among these scumbags."

The Victorian soldier snorted disdainfully, still not putting down his crossbow.

"Uh, murder?"

Bagpipe was a little confused, as she had never heard of this before.

"Just this bunch of scum killed several of us."

When he said this, the Victorian soldier's eyes were almost spitting fire.

It was hatred that had almost reached the point of being irreconcilable.

"Damien Barry?"

Bagpipe asked tentatively, could it be that he really did this? Or was he also involved?

"You mean the one who was executed? Now I remember, it seems that you guys were the ones who captured him, right? That's great. Thank you."

"But we didn't know when we caught him... Could he really be a member of the Ghost Army? Never mind..."

Bagpipe was a little confused. The information he collected was not enough to string all the events together.

"No matter where he comes from, there is no smoke without fire. He deserves to die!"

The Victorian soldier suddenly raised his voice again and shouted angrily, "I'm talking to you! Do you hear me? No gatherings are allowed. Anyone who secretly organizes any gatherings will be treated as a suspect!"

His finger had already begun to press the trigger, as if he wanted to find a random unlucky guy to hurt him and scare the others away.

"Don't, don't be impulsive!"

Bagpipe saw that he was about to pull the trigger, but stopped him again.

"I think they are all ordinary citizens. Their relatives have died, and they gather together to mourn him. This is human nature."

Just as he finished speaking, an unidentified object hit Bagpipe's head, making a dull sound.

"Uh... rotten potatoes?"

The Victorian soldier at the side immediately smiled as if to predict the outcome and laughed.

"Haha, see, you spoke for them and got beaten. I'm going to leave first. You can stay here if you want. Bah, it's my bad luck to get this patrol mission."

He raised his voice again and shouted angrily: "Scum, I say again, no gathering!"

He still pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow flew out, breaking the window glass of the shop nearby, and then he hurried away.

"My glass!"

A rotten egg flew over and almost hit Bagpipe, but the stench still made Bagpipe pinch his nose.

"Wow, I... Oh, there are more and more things thrown at me."

Bagpipe had to retreat first, but she didn't notice that the object that could have hit her inexplicably changed direction in the air and then fell to the ground.

"This way."

Just when Bagpipe was surrounded by people on the whole street and couldn't find a way out, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind her and pulled her into an alley beside the road.

"Huh, it finally came out, thank you both."

Bagpipe breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't know how to deal with something like this.

"Here, this handkerchief is for you. Wipe it well, otherwise these rotten leaves will leave a smell."

Jenny handed over the handkerchief considerately and spoke.

"Thank you!"

As for Beichen, he naturally stared at Fengdi's face for a long time.

Ahem, no other meaning, just taking a look.

"I didn't expect that besides Captain Kelly, any of our soldiers would volunteer to come to District 17."

Jenny was a little surprised. After all, this place could be said to be the least welcoming neighborhood for Victorian soldiers in the entire Hill County. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs had long been the norm.

"Hey, our soldier? So, you too?"

Bagpipe looked at Jenny, but Jenny was not wearing a uniform at the moment.

"Ah, you mean the clothes. I sneaked out, and if I wear that outfit and try to take a shortcut back to the barracks, the residents nearby will be unhappy."

Jenny began to explain.

"No wonder, I didn't say anything, but I was bombarded with rotten leaves and rotten eggs. If it weren't for you two, I would probably have to take a shower right now, hehe."

Bagpipe sniffed the smell on his body and found that it was still a bit unpleasant.

"You'd better be more careful next time. If you go out normally, you'd better change into different clothes."

Beichen also spoke up to remind him, after all, he was also wearing casual clothes when he went out.

"But you don't even know this. Are you newly transferred to Xiaoqiu County?"

Jenny suddenly thought of this question and asked.

"Well, I'm from Londinium."

Chapter 433 Internal Conflicts

"Wow, Londinium! I haven't been there yet. It must be much bigger than Hillshire, right? Does the Shard really have more than 300 floors? Is there really a teleportation array buried in the mountain below the Royal Academy of Sciences that can lead to the Miracle Space, where the treasure of the first King Drake is?"

When it came to this, Jenny suddenly started to talk, and kept asking questions like a machine gun. After seeing the surprised looks of Fengpi and Beichen, she coughed twice awkwardly and stopped talking.

"Where did you hear this?"

Beichen asked in confusion, what is going on? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the plot. Is there really some treasure?

"Ah? There is a treasure? I haven't even heard of it."

Bagpipe was also confused. Is there really such a thing?

See, even the locals in Londinium don’t know.

"However, I do know what a high-speed land warship looks like when it leaves the factory, and I have also seen a hydroponic plant workshop... If you want to know about this, I can tell you."

Oh my god, a high-speed land warship!

You know what, Beichen really wanted to know more about this thing, especially the naval gun of unknown millimeters mounted on it.

"Hmm, warship? Hydroponic workshop? This seems... different from the Londinium in the novel, huh? Sorry! Let's not talk about this."

It turns out that I read it from a novel. I thought it was something else.

"If you want to investigate a case, it may be difficult to get any results just by coming to this street. It may end up like this..."

Jenny looked at the rotten vegetable leaves she had just taken off Bagpipe's head and sighed.

"Is it possible for me to smell bad for no reason like this?"

"It's okay, hahaha, it's not that smelly."

Having said that, Beichen suddenly remembered something, turned his head, took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Fengpi.

"By the way, use this to wipe your hair. It should be able to remove the bad smell right away."

"Hey, this is it?"

Bagpipe took the bottle, shook it, and found that it was filled with clear liquid.

"It's some kind of medicine. It works very well."

In fact, it is the water made by Xiaolan, which has some strange effects... For example, it can drive away evil spirits?

But Beichen has also tested the ingredients of this thing, and the result is pure water.

"Oh, thank you very much... Eh, it seems like there is really no taste at all."

"That's good."

In fact, there is a swimming pool in Beichen’s space, and the water is of course filled by Xiaolan.

Squeeze the little blue until there is not a drop left! (Mist)

"Oh yes, do conflicts between these residents and our soldiers happen often?"

Bagpipe had been to many places to carry out missions, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation where he was so unwelcome by the locals.

"It was just a minor friction before, but it has become tense recently. Just like what the soldier just said, there have been several attacks on our soldiers in a row, and everyone's nerves are on edge."

Jenny explained, so it was actually very unsafe for someone like her to sneak out alone.

She even heard some colleagues whispering that the military list had been leaked and perhaps everyone's information had been exposed.

The more I listened to the bagpipe, the more I felt something was wrong.

"Could it really be the Ghost Army? ...Strange, they wouldn't have done this before."

"Ghosts...what are those things."

Jenny didn't hear it clearly, and she didn't know what the ghosts that Bagpipe was talking about were. After all, only the upper class knew about these things.

However, Beichen knew more than both of them. After all, that was why he came here.

"Come to think of it, the patrolman just now called the residents here 'Tara scum'..."

Before she could finish her words, Jenny covered Bagpipe's mouth and smiled awkwardly at the passers-by who were glaring at them.

"Don't really scream it out here, do you want to receive more rotten vegetable gift packs?"

Jenny blamed in a low voice, maybe all three of them would have been in trouble.

"Ah, okay, so they're not really Victorians?"

"Of course they are."

Jenny answered firmly.

"I'm getting more and more confused."

Bagpipe's mind hasn't come to its senses yet, the people of Tara, the people of Victoria...

"Some people would choose another word, which you hear as Tara people, to refer to the identity of these residents, and local residents and some soldiers would call them that."

Jenny started to explain, and then Beichen also interjected.

"Since some soldiers called them that, it means that they didn't consider these residents as Victorians at all, but...conversely, most residents didn't consider themselves Victorians either."
