Liberio

Unlike the prosperous Texi Province, the capital of Marley was shrouded in the shadow of war.

The entire Train was mostly filled with Soldiers in white uniforms, Soldiers boarded the Train in batches. Most of Soldiers wore silver Armband, which identified them as Eldia Forces.

However, the Eldia Soldiers did not look too good; clearly, news of the dire situation at the front had already reached their ears.

Yago's Trench Coat collar was turned up, obscuring half his face. He stepped off the Train and glanced at his compatriots behind him who were empty-handed. It was said that this was a tradition of the Marley Army, where weapons were only issued to Eldia Forces on the battlefield.

Yago's heart sank slightly as he wondered how many of his fellow Eldia would die in the wars in Marley and the Middle East. Yago pulled his hat down low and left the Train in the Marley Capital with his head down.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, but it was, after all, the capital of Marley. Although shrouded in the shadow of war, the Marleyan on the street still had a faint sense of pride on their faces. Perhaps in Marleyan eyes, Marley was still the Marley that once dominated the world.

He flagged down a carriage, and after getting in, the driver warmly asked Yago where he was going. Yago simply gave a place name.

With a flick of the driver's whip, the not-so-spacious carriage began to move.

Cars are only just becoming popular now, and most people are still used to riding in horse-drawn carriages. So, horse-drawn carriages have not yet been replaced by faster and more convenient cars. However, with the development of technology, it is only a matter of time before horse-drawn carriages are replaced.

Sitting in the slightly swaying carriage, Yago also closed his eyes.

Ramzi's family was very hospitable, and Yago visited Ramzi to express his gratitude for Ramzi's help in recovering his precious gold coins.

The kind and hospitable Indians immediately offered Yago and his companions their best food and wine. Although they themselves would never enjoy such things on ordinary days, for the Indians, guests are the most precious.

Yago was somewhat surprised by the hospitality of the Indians. After forcing himself to drink three bowls of Indi Wine and becoming friends with Ramzi's family, Yago finally revealed his purpose: he wanted to ask them for a favor, hoping that Annie could stay with them for a while, and of course, Yago would pay them.

To everyone's surprise, Ramzi's family agreed without hesitation. Ramzi's grandfather even said that no reward was needed; helping their friend was enough. He just hoped that their friend wouldn't mind their simple living conditions.

This made Yago a little embarrassed, and he finally felt at ease only after leaving behind a small amount of money, because Ramzi's family wouldn't accept any more.

We can only make plans after we resolve the situation in the Marley Capital.

"Sir, we've arrived." The coachman's voice brought Yago back to his senses. After paying the fare Yago arrived at his destination.

Yago pulled a slip of paper from his Trench Coat pocket, glanced at it, and walked into the unassuming General Store.

There was a bell on the door of the General Store; it rang crisply as soon as you entered, and then Yago heard a lazy voice say, "Cigarettes, alcohol, and food are on the left shelf; daily necessities are on the right shelf. Prices have increased slightly during this special period; no credit is available."

Yago turned his head and saw a blond young man sitting in a chair near the counter by the door, his legs propped up on the counter table, looking very relaxed.

If it weren't for Yelena's introduction, Yago would never have imagined that this General Store would be a contact point for their Marley Volunteers.

Placing the note on the counter, Yago said, "It was Yelena who introduced me here."

Upon hearing this, the previously leisurely young man sprang up as if springy, grabbed the note, and stared at it with wide eyes.

After a while, as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his face was full of smiles. He nervously rubbed his hands in front of Yago and said, "I'm so sorry, it's been too long since I've been in contact with the comrades of the Volunteer Army. Is this Sister Yelena's order? What do you need me to do?"

The blond youth looked at Yago expectantly, clearly excited about the mission he was about to complete; he was getting bored lying around in this General Store all day.

Seeing the young man's excited expression, Yago was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Could I please have a pass to enter and exit the Liberio Internment Zone?"

"Liberio? The Eldians' place? Hmm... no problem! Easy peasy!" The young man slapped his forehead and hurriedly ran to the back of the General Store.

After some time, the young man, his face covered in dust, returned with a small blue identification document.

"This is it. Before the war broke out, the Marleyan could come and go freely. But now, as you know, there's a war, so the checks have become stricter. This pass is used to enter and exit the Liberio Internment Zone."

Yago nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." But as he turned to leave, Yago stopped, his expression somewhat unnatural, and asked, "Could you help me find out about someone and their address?"

The blond youth patted his chest confidently and said, "Of course! Don't worry, you can even find out what time Marshal Marley goes to the toilet. You can trust me, Wick, to handle things."

Looking at Wick's confident demeanor, Yago didn't know what to say. "Please help me look up a Marley Nobility named Ebson Louis, please."

"Ebson Louis? That sounds familiar. Don't worry, give me two days." Wick for a moment before making his promise.

"Thank you." Yago also breathed a sigh of relief; having him investigate Doctor Ebson's whereabouts alone in the Marley Capital was like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, considering Annie's final request, Yago could only apologize in his heart, because Doctor Ebson had too many secrets, Yago had to investigate them thoroughly.

Yago's gaze inadvertently fell upon a row of Wine and cigars displayed in the General Store, Yago pondered for a moment.

At the entrance to the Liberio Internment Zone Internment Zone, Marley policeman carrying Rifle stands.

Yago arrived at the Liberio Internment Zone carrying two bottles of famous Marley Wine and several boxes of cigars.

After handing over his identification to the police for inspection, the police officer raised his hand to signal him to let him go.

Yago adjusted his hat and walked into the Liberio Internment Zone. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, childhood memories suddenly flooded back.

Yago took a deep breath, raised his head, and said with a complicated expression, "You're back."

Carrying the gift prepared for Mr. Leonhardt, Yago suddenly felt a strange sense of unease. "Why am I nervous?" (Author: Nervousness about meeting my father-in-law ԅ( ˘ω˘ ԅ))
