Chapter 283 "A Beautiful New Tingen"

Inside the Holy Wind Cathedral.

"You two are on vacation today, but I have a mission for you." Roy threw down the incident report and said to the two women at the desk:
"On a business trip! Go to Tingen and bring back the bastard who's living there!
"The church supported his wrongdoings, and now it's time to use him!"

Hiss! Fors and Xio stood straight. They knew who Deacon Roy was talking about...

"Mr. Roy! Why don't you just send a telegram... wouldn't that be faster?" Fors asked in a low voice.

"..." Roy paused and explained:
"If I send a telegram to summon him, it's official business.

"If he could 'take the initiative' to come to Backlund to help the church solve the troubles it is facing... that would be another matter.

"do you understand?"

"I totally understand! I'm so stupid! Let's set off now!" Fors pulled the confused Xio and walked out of the office.

……

"Fors, I still don't quite understand..." In the cab, Xio asked his friend.

"Uh... Actually, I don't quite understand why Deacon Roy gave merit specifically to Old Blue? Are they related by blood?!" Fors made a bold guess.

Xio suddenly realized, "Like Klein? Also a 'family' without blood ties? Then wouldn't Klein be Deacon Roy's brother?"

"maybe?"

Fors felt a little awkward and changed the subject:
"By the way, are we really going to Tingen? What do you think about us just summoning a messenger and writing a letter to Old Blue? Then we can enjoy our vacation..."

Xio said with a serious expression:

"No! We have to go in person! On the one hand, this is a 'mission', and even if it's 'private' there has to be a travel record, otherwise there will be problems with the reimbursement process.

"On the other hand, I want to go and see Klein's house. Hmm, they seem to live pretty close to each other? I have to help you investigate! To see if Klein is lying!"

Fors smoothed his hair and said:
"Okay, okay, let's go. Why are you talking to me? What's the point of investigating?
"Well, what gift would be good to bring when visiting? Hugh, do you have any suggestions?"

"..." Xio thought seriously for a while and said, "Dixie pie?"

……

At 2 p.m., the two finally got off the steam train. They deliberately walked slowly at the end of the crowd. Fors said weakly:

"I like traveling, but traveling is really torture... 4 hours, and I still can't sleep on the train... If I could think of where to go, I could be there in the next second..."

Xio carried a small suitcase effortlessly, holding Fors' arm with his other hand, and said:
“It’s okay, except that the food at lunch was a little bit bad…Your physical condition still needs to be improved. If you are stronger, you won’t feel uncomfortable.

"Uh... Fors, look! There's a big sign there..."

Fors looked in the direction that Xio pointed, and immediately saw a huge sign in the distance with a few simple words written on it:

"Hospitable Tingen welcomes you!"

“Oh my god… Hugh, does Backlund have this thing?” Fors was surprised. This was too… exaggerated!

"No! Absolutely not!" Xio unconsciously walked over there, which happened to be the direction of the steam station square. As soon as they came out of the gate, they were greeted by several handsome and beautiful men and women in formal clothes. They all carried many small bags and distributed them to the passengers leaving the station. They smiled and said:

"Welcome to Tingen! The bag contains some commonly used items, including a towel, a bar of soap, a Tingen map, 2 Sole discount coupons for the 'Big Eat' restaurant, 2 Sole discount coupons for the 'Safe Sleep' hotel, 2 Sole discount coupons for the 'Go as You Want' rental carriage, 2 Sole discount coupons for the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' company toys, and other items. "I wish you a smooth work in Tingen and a pleasant journey!"

Fors and Xio were both stunned. This... this was too good! Is this Tingen? !
Many passengers did not want the small bag at first, but when they heard about the map and towel and saw the reception staff's smiling and bowing attitude, they still took it and thanked them.

Fors also took the rather exquisite paper bag from a young girl who was wearing a formal dress that was obviously one size too large. She nodded at the girl and received a kind smile.

When the girl saw Fors took out the map and tried to find something, she immediately started a conversation:

"Is this your first time in Tingen, ladies? Do you mind if I become your tour guide? Don't worry, it's completely free, as the fees have been prepaid by the Tingen city government~"

"Ah? Is it possible?" Fors's curiosity suddenly piqued. She saw other passengers being introduced to this service, some refusing and some accepting, so she smiled and said:

"Thank you very much, we are going to visit a friend on Daffodil Street in the West District."

The girl bowed and smiled:

"It's my pleasure to serve you two! I'm very familiar with Daffodil Street in the West End! Please follow me~ By the way, my name is... Nancy."

……

Jingle, jingle.

Nancy rang the doorbell of No. 11 Narcissus Street in a daze. A few days ago, she could come here and take the spare key under the flower pot, and then go in to clean...

But the owner of the house gave himself a job, a formal job, "tour guide"! Provide guidance and explanation services for passengers arriving at the steam station!
The weekly salary of this job is enough for my family to not have to worry about the black bread every day, and the most important thing is that it has changed my status at home! I am no longer the person who can be thrown out at will...

All of this is due to this old man...

Squeak.

"Hmm? Nancy? Are you done with your work? Alfu has gone out to play again, so you don't have to clean his kennel for the time being..."

Nancy smiled her brightest smile, bowed and said:

"Mr. Blue, two ladies came to visit you~ I just happened to get the job of their tour guide, what a coincidence!"

"Oh?"

Old Bruce opened the door and saw the surprised tall and short couple behind him. He was also surprised:
"Fors? Xio? Why are you two here? Did Klein bully you? No way? He's quite honest... Oh, right, is he cheating on you?"

“…Mr. Blue! What are you talking about! How could Klein cheat?!” Fors immediately retorted.

Xiu looked at his friend as if he was a fool. What a confession!
"Okay, okay, just don't cheat," Old Blue said with a smile.
"Nancy, go make some coffee or tea to entertain these two distinguished guests! I'll talk to the company for you."

"Okay!" Nancy trotted to the kitchen and started boiling water to make tea.

At this time, Fors also realized that she seemed to have been tricked! With a blush on her face, she followed Xio to the living room and said very directly:
"Mr. Blue, Deacon Roy asked you to go back to Backlund! If you don't go back, we don't have to go back either!"

Old Blue was stunned for a few seconds and said:

"If you don't want to go back, go help build New Tingen. The air here is much better than Backlund..."

"..." Fors and Xio were both stunned.
