Extraordinary Puppet Master

During the time when Carlin and Angela were communicating, the dancing part of the banquet gradually came to an end, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Pairs of gentlemen and ladies, who showed no expression but were already impatient, had left the hall in pairs, preparing to spend a wonderful night.

Most of the rest were men, who gathered in circles to chat about the recent daily life in the Steam City.

Among them, there were only five people around the banquet host, Connor Maxim, including Eric.

"Please allow me to introduce to you, this is Mr. Eric Newman from the New World!"

After Connor introduced Eric enthusiastically, he introduced other people to him one by one, and Eric actually saw two familiar faces.

"This is Professor Polly Rayfield from the School of Alchemy."

"This is lawyer Charles William. His father was a good friend of mine during his lifetime."

"This is Mr. Clarken, the manager of Ed Bank"

"This is Dr. Hannibal. His medical skills are very superb."

Eric also smiled and nodded and shook hands with the four of them.

Judging from their apparent identities, although these four people are also decent people, they are just middle-class wage earners and are not qualified to be on an equal footing with Connor, a rich man.

But the dazzling spirituality in them showed everything, the four of them were extraordinary.

And Eric can stand here because he has never concealed that he is an extraordinary person.

Although the extraordinary in the mortal world has not yet surfaced, and most people do not know the reality of the world, there are a handful of wealthy people like Connor who are not ignorant of the extraordinary.

They are shrewd and have realized that in the future, the extraordinary will become the mainstream, and the world of mortals will undergo a major reshuffle.

In an era when extraordinary beings were declining, they could have huge wealth and high social status, but they were still just mortals.

But if preparations are not made in advance, the wealth that is not protected by extraordinary power will be easily plundered.

The best way is to become a transcendent yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't have the qualifications. They have money. Compared with the civilians who have no qualifications, they can spend money to become a transcendent.

As long as you can become a transcendent, even if you spend all your wealth on it, it will be worthwhile, because this will become a ticket to a further status in the future.

In addition to spending more than 100,000 gold pounds to let Professor Polly help him arrange the ceremony, Connor also consciously made friends with other extraordinary people and integrated himself into their circle.

Obviously, except for Ciel, the other three people have already treated Connor as a transcendent in advance. By the 1st of the New Year, it is already a certainty that Connor will become a true transcendent.

The six people started chatting, and the topic started directly with Eric.

"Mr. Eric, I once stayed in the New World for a week, and the delicious food in Baker Harbor still makes me linger."

Dr. Hannibal's face is a little thin, but his eyes are bright and his expression is unsmiling. He seems to be a very self-disciplined person.

Eric realized through his spirituality that the other person was on the Ancestral Path, and the mention of delicious food was in line with the foodie characteristics of the Ancestral Path.

But in addition to Hannibal's own spirituality, Eric also sensed a cold and powerful spirituality from him.

This spirituality is closely connected to Hannibal himself. Although it is well hidden, it cannot escape Eric's perception.

Karin was surprised for a moment, but immediately guessed what was going on.

‘This guy is a beast tamer, and he has a professional-level war beast. From a spiritual point of view, it should be a snake!

Gee, Connor's social circle is quite high-end. ’

At the banquet, Eric's expression was also lost in memories.

"Baker's Port is one of the few places of order in the New World.

The New World not only has delicious food, but also chaos. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have hurriedly disposed of all my real estate and returned to the Old World after my father’s death. "

Mr. Kraken, who was a little fatter, shook his head after hearing this and sighed: "I only knew that the New World was very chaotic, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. It is indeed a barbaric place."

"Yes, the supernatural there is not as secretive as here. Many foreign races with long histories live in the New World, as well as a large number of uncivilized indigenous tribes, plus gold diggers and adventurers who lick blood from their swords.

Having too much wealth is not a good thing if you don't have the strength to protect it. "

"Yes, this is a wise decision. The Capital of Steam is a place where civilization shines. Here you don't have to worry about your wealth being plundered by others for no reason. Let us welcome Mr. Eric, cheers!"

Connor directly raised his glass to signal, and everyone also raised their goblets and took a sip.

And Polly seemed to have remembered something, and his face became heavy.

"Unfortunately, even in the peaceful and peaceful Steam City, there are still some crazy people.

You may not know that last night, poison master Snico, Prince Charles and Ms. Chloe were all brutally killed one by one by the villains of the Shadow Brigade. "

For a moment, everyone else was shocked.

Eric did not expect that the official efficiency would be so high, and they immediately identified the murderer of the three people.

Charles was extremely shocked. He only knew that Snitch had killed Chloe, but he really didn't know that he had already done two such big cases before.

Connor, Hannibal, and Kraken were also shocked by the power of the Shadow Troupe. They killed a prince and two professional-level transcendents overnight.

Eric showed a puzzled expression at the right time: "Shadow Brigade, what kind of organization is this?"

Ciel immediately explained to him: "You have only arrived in the Steam City not long ago, and you don't know many things.

Three months ago, a tragedy occurred in Wayne City. An earl family was bloodbathed, and the murderer was the Shadow Brigade.

This organization is very mysterious. We only know that all their members are legendary seeds. Unexpectedly, after more than three months of silence, they actually came to the Steam City and committed three more murders last night! "

The atmosphere became depressing for a moment, and Connor asked Polly with a stern face.

"Why did they attack those three people?"

Polly said with a very ugly expression: "Last night, a human ultramarine who claimed to be from the New World came to the market in the Bridge District. It is now confirmed that he is also a member of the Shadow Brigade.

While setting up a stall at the market, he had a minor conflict with Sniko, who was killed shortly after leaving the market.

At the subsequent auction, he was scolded by His Royal Highness Charles and left the venue in disgrace. As a result, His Highness was ambushed by the brigade when he passed by Cland Bridge after the auction.

I don’t know why Miss Chloe was killed, but apart from the signs of a fierce fight at the scene of her death, both Snico and His Royal Highness Charles were killed without the ability to fight back.”

hiss--

Several people gasped. Except for the two professional levels, they knew that Prince Charles' [Forbidden Gear] had professional level strength after transforming into a mecha form!

In addition, the eight trainee-level brass warriors around the prince are equipped with steam equipment. Although they are not as powerful as Charles, they are a force that cannot be ignored.

Killing like this without any resistance, like killing a chicken, the Shadow Brigade is not only crazy, but also extremely powerful!

Eric also became worried about this.

"What should I do if the Shadow Troupe is eyeing my wealth?"
