Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

In the end, she had no choice but to go back to her room and fall asleep in frustration.

By the way, the place where they stayed was actually the West Wind Church, which was originally the Goethe Hotel, the best hotel in Bello Berg.

However, since the boss converted to Christianity, this place has also become the largest church dedicated to the god of wind in Beloberg.

In addition to receiving believers, the temple also regularly hosts vocal performances. It is fully equipped with various facilities, and even the pillows on the beds are no worse than those of expensive goose down brands.

That evening, the pioneers were supposed to hold a small meeting to summarize the day's achievements.

However, when a peaceful and quiet piano sound was heard.

People in the city who had been tired all day quickly fell into a sweet dream. Even the members of the train crew could not resist their sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.

The guardian girl who was still working overtime in Krippenburg was also relaxed by the very familiar piano music.

But before she could go out to look for the source of the sound, Xier pushed open the door and walked in with a tense face.

"Oh no! Bronya, the singing singer ran away!"

"what?!"

And under the moonlight, a bard was humming softly and singing leisurely.

"The story I want to tell begins in a new era—"

Chapter 98: Wind Flower Festival

The next day, the pioneers reunited in high spirits.

It was a rare first night of the pioneering journey where I could sleep so peacefully. There was no gas explosion, nor did I suddenly wake up to find the whole city hostile.

Such an excellent sleeping experience is rare even in a single room on a train, let alone on an alien planet, almost never.

Thanks to this, everyone had a good rest, and yesterday's fatigue seemed to be swept away by a breeze, leaving everyone feeling light both physically and mentally.

The most active March Seventh even hummed the tune of last night's piano music when he went out, and greeted Dan Heng and Uncle Yang warmly when he saw them.

"Good morning! Dan Heng, Uncle Yang. How did you sleep last night? I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow yesterday. I have to say that this is worthy of being the best hotel in Beloberg. I might as well ask them to make a new Pam doll!"

"Good morning, Little Sanyue. I also feel relaxed physically and mentally for the first time in a long time. But please don't say the last sentence in front of the believers, it may easily cause misunderstanding."

Walter also had a rare good dream that night, which was truly a "luxury" experience for someone like him who carried too many heavy burdens.

"not bad."

Dan Heng spoke briefly, but judging from the fact that the corners of his mouth were slightly more curved than usual, he was in a good mood.

Now that they were reunited, they naturally prepared to go downstairs for breakfast. When Pera left yesterday, she had told them that the church here would provide three meals a day. It was said that there were also grilled Beloberg sausage toast and fresh barley beer, which were things that only nobles could eat in the past.

Now that the big hole of Counterattack Rift is gone, although a lot of materials have been spent due to the reform, the liberated labor force has also created a lot of consumer goods.

In recent times, the living standards in the city have improved visibly.

And this steady increase will continue for a long time, and the gross product of the existing labor force is more than enough to feed everyone.

Following the guidance of Father Goethe, the three came to the restaurant.

There are quite a few believers here. Everyone will pray earnestly before starting to eat. This unexpectedly strong religious atmosphere makes March 7 a little amazed.

Although I have been to planets like this with fanatics who fanatically believe in certain gods before, it has only been a short time since Lord Barbatos performed miracles and was later named a god by people?

Even though the other party had never issued any orders to believe in him, everyone believed in him from the bottom of their hearts.

There were also many people who had witnessed Lord Barbatos' miracles and were talking heatedly. Some of them were talking about why Lord Barbatos had not appeared in public since the salvation of the world. They wondered if it was because he was too weak and was imprisoned by the Silver Mane Iron Guards and was unwilling to die.

"...It seems everyone really likes that Barbatos-sama."

After learning to pray in a similar manner, March 7 chose his favorite breakfast and whispered to the two of them.

"After all, he saved the entire planet. It's normal for him to be respected like this, right?"

Dan Heng's tone was full of matter-of-factness.

"I think he not only reversed the desperate situation facing this planet, but more importantly, he gave people the freedom to break free from their fate."

Walter pushed his glasses and put a piece of red sausage that was roasted until it smelled fragrant and a piece of toast with butter in the middle on his plate.

"While saving planets may seem commonplace to us, we must not forget that there are far more planets that have never been saved. Many civilizations that have suffered from the erosion of their star cores have perished without receiving any help.

Therefore, when a savior truly appears and brings a better, more hopeful world to everyone, it is understandable that people would revere him as a god and offer their faith to him.

"So what does Uncle Yang think of him... I mean, what about Lord Barbatos?"

After noticing the gazes of some believers, March 7 quickly changed his words.

"Hmm... I think I should get along well with him. After all, he's a romantic and sentimental person. As long as I can gain his approval, I believe we can become friends quickly."

Walter also lowered his voice.

"However, this is not a good time to discuss this. We can discuss this in detail with Miss Pella when she leaves the city with us later."

While the two were discussing, Dan Heng had already taken his meal and sat at the table to start his first meal on the alien planet.

To be fair, the taste is not as good as the dishes that Pam prepared carefully on the train, but from the perspective of this city, it can be considered a nutritious and delicious dish.

The pioneers were not picky eaters, and after they finished their meal, Pera came to the church to find them as if she was counting the seconds.

She was a little more anxious today than yesterday, but when she saw that the three people were staying here well, she relaxed a lot.

"Is something wrong, Miss Pera?"

Walter fully demonstrated his gentlemanly spirit, and March 7, a helpful boy, also patted his chest enthusiastically and made a promise.

"If there's anything you need our help with, just tell me, I'll definitely help you!"

Even Dan Heng, who advocated keeping a certain distance from the native inhabitants of the planet, nodded for the first time.

"Ah, thank you for your kindness. However, this matter is rather complicated. Please follow me out of the city first and we'll discuss the details."

Pella was also a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the three people, but considering the large number of believers here, she had to change the subject first.

"By the way, you should have had breakfast, right? The food here is always good, and the after-meal tea is even better."

"Indeed. The tea soup is translucent, the flavor is rich, and it leaves a lasting impression."

Walter agreed with this. Both the black tea and the coffee were much better than what Ji Zi brewed.

Perhaps because it was once a hotel, tea parties are held here every afternoon, and the various snacks and refreshments are quite good.

People from all walks of life will choose to come here for a drink in the afternoon. It is a good place to go whether you want to ask for help or chat with someone.

In the past, when Pella had free time, she liked to bring books here to read, and occasionally she would bring along a bard who was just eating and drinking for free.

However, when she thought about where this guy might be slacking off right now, she became extremely angry.

Seeing that something might have happened, the three pioneers felt a familiar feeling coming back to them.

Without asking any more questions, the four of them soon left the city together and talked about the big events that happened last night as they headed to the designated beacon placement location.

"Everyone, to be honest, when I saw you this morning, I actually felt much more at ease, but it also meant that the worst-case scenario had occurred."

Pella's nonsensical words immediately made March Seven a little nervous, and he asked with some stuttering.

"Could it be that we've been dragged into some strange situation again?"

"That's not the case. How could we shift the blame onto guests who came with good intentions for no reason? That would be quite arrogant."

The girl with glasses sighed helplessly, then said solemnly.

"Just last night, the cocoon in which Lord Barbatos was sleeping was shattered, and he himself is nowhere to be found. We originally thought that he might have been attracted by you, the pioneers, but after confirmation this morning, this possibility has been ruled out."

"Wait, let me sort this out. What's with sleeping, attracting, and disappearing..."

San Yueqi blinked in confusion, seemingly unable to react to this bombshell news.

"Could it be that the complaints we heard earlier in the restaurant about not being able to see Lord Barbatos came from this?"

Walter and Dan Heng also looked at each other, thinking that this matter might not be that simple.

"That's right. Precisely because this matter is quite complicated, what we are announcing to the public right now is—

After saving the world, Lord Barbatos fell into a short sleep due to excessive use of his power. The military has been guarding him in the safest place in Beloberg.

Whether it's the guards or the watchers on duty, they are all elite soldiers who have been carefully selected. The one in charge is the Jeppard Guards, who has also experienced major battles. They are committed to ensuring that Lord Barbatos safely passes through this period of rest."

Pyra frowned in distress.

"Although from a factual perspective, we did not lie, and Lord Barbatos did indeed fall into a deep sleep. However, while the Silvermane Iron Guards were guarding him, Lord Barbatos disappeared. This will undoubtedly exacerbate everyone's recent distrust of the Iron Guards.

The theft of the sacred artifact from the History Museum previously caused quite a stir. Now, after waking up, Lord Barbatos didn't immediately meet with the Lord Guardian, but instead disappeared. This could very well be used as a weapon by those with ulterior motives to attack the Lord Guardian."

"--In other words, our most urgent task now is to help the Silvermane Guards retrieve Lord Barbatos?"

San Yueqi is quite accustomed to this kind of task of finding things, or people.

Basically, this cycle occurs on every planet.

However, this is the first time that I have to go find a god who is related to the stability of the country.

"I won't bother you with that. After all, you are all guests of Beloberg. Asking you to put aside your own duties and share the burden for the Silvermane Guards would be a poor way of treating guests."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Pella shook her head and told them what the Guardian had asked her to say.

"Lady Bronya spoke to me this morning in secret. Besides asking me to confirm whether Lord Barbatos would appear with you, she also said she would ensure the smooth progress of your observation mission, so please rest assured and complete your mission."

After hearing this, the pioneers fell silent for a while. It was not because they felt that they were not trusted by the other party. If they were really suspected, they would not be greeted with meals and tea in the morning, but the Silver Mane Iron Guards would come directly to arrest them.

After all, in such a big matter, even if the other party would rather kill the innocent than let them go, they have no excuse.

After all, they are interstellar travelers from outside. It is one thing not to know their background, but the key is that they asked to see God and were rejected.

Now that the god disappeared that night, if we insist on naming them as suspects, they are certainly worthy of being called suspects.

After all, sometimes as long as it sounds a little reasonable, no matter how absurd the logic is, it can be used to establish a false crime.

Anyway, this is their territory, so why shouldn't they have the final say?

Precisely because they had experienced so much of this unfair treatment, the pioneers naturally thought of finding Barbatos for the Silver Mane Guards in order to prove their innocence.

Unexpectedly, they were surprisingly reasonable. After confirming that it wasn't them, they continued to let them do what they were supposed to do...

Should I say that the feeling of being uncomfortable is coming back again?

It was almost noon when we arrived at the designated location, placed the beacon, and confirmed that it was working properly.

Pyra also pushed her glasses and nodded with a hint of satisfaction.

"Very good, this morning's mission is complete. Thank you all for your cooperation. The subsequent recovery operation will be carried out in the morning of two days, as you requested. During this period, we will also help to send patrols to prevent the beacon from being picked up or damaged."

"Oh, no, no, no. It's clearly us who are being helped unilaterally!"

San Yueqi is almost feeling miserable. This kind of person always has to take care of himself, but he feels like he can't help at all. It's so frustrating.

But if she ignored the opinions of the other two and insisted that the pioneers must be asked to help, wouldn't it seem like she had ulterior motives?

Even Walter and Dan Heng looked at each other in silence, as if they were considering how to do better.

Pera, who was unaware of the troubles the pioneers had encountered, simply smiled gently and reminded them.

"By the way, everyone. If I remember correctly, Lady Bronya also invited you to attend the luncheon.

Please remember to attend on time. It is said that she even cooked a few desserts herself—"

"She can actually cook?! No way... ahem! Wouldn't that make us feel even more unworthy?!"

March Seven scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly.

"Is there really nothing for us to do, Silvermane Iron Guards? I feel a little embarrassed to keep accepting your kindness."

"Hmm? How could it be in vain? The Lord Guardian has told us that you have brought a wealth of interstellar knowledge and greatly expanded our understanding of the universe. If anything, we are indebted to your kindness."

Pella answered seriously.

"Wow... I feel like I kind of understand what Lord Barbatos is thinking. It's only natural for a lovely person like him to want to do something to help them!"

However, during the conversation——

Suddenly, the plain in the distance began to shake violently. A towering tree almost a hundred meters high rose from the ground, and at the same time, the winds roared and rushed together.

Gusts of wind blew as if they had found out the boundaries of the map where they were, forming a pillar of light that shot up into the sky under the tree.

Such a change obviously attracted everyone's attention, and on the other side.
