Magic Industrial Age

Outside the city,

Marquis Family Castle.

Rarely, early in the morning, Baron Marquis was already sitting behind his desk. He opened a book, but his eyes had no focus.

Looking at him again, his ears twitched slightly, as if listening to something, so that his expression kept changing.

Finally, the light in his eyes converged, he closed the book in his hand, and tapped the cover of the book with his finger, with a playful expression.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I spent so much effort and so much effort, but the fruit was picked by such a kid?"

"I just don't know, how much does he know about the inside story?"

"It doesn't matter, so what if he knows?"

"The current Oakland City cannot be moved lightly. Why not endure for a while?"

"However, that wealth is really too great, and it cannot be solved by simply being a funeral person.

I would also like to see what tricks you can play?"

……

Coincidentally, Lord Dorji Petrovich and Baron Marquis chose the same approach.

It's not that they are not jealous, but the current Oakland City is like sitting on a volcano, and it may explode if you are not careful.

Even they have to be very careful!

And this gave Loye room to manipulate. The first thing he did was funeral.

City West, Rose Street, No. 1.

Inside the hall.

If Mark Williams considers himself the second richest person in Oakland City, no one dares to consider himself the first.

There is no way, this one is the earliest Woking believer in Oakland City, and he spares no effort in promoting magic machinery, so he is rich enough.

And under Mark Williams, it is Sir Karl Blatt, the owner of No. 1 Rose Street.

In Oakland, a jazz is a very honorable nobleman.

What's more, this Sir Karl Blatt is a nobleman who embraced magic machinery very early, and belongs to the kind who has both power and money.

However, at this time, the old man, who was about seventy years old and wearing a neat gentleman's suit, was supporting two coffins, his lips trembling and his eyes red.

Inside the coffin were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls with good figures, but pale faces.

Butler Hoover stood aside, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I'm very sorry that I couldn't bring the two ladies back completely.

When my young master discovered the Bloody Mary, it had already run aground and capsized, and the sea water was pouring in..."

Sir Karl Blatt closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally returned to normal.

He opened his eyes and looked at Butler Hoover and said, "In any case, I should thank you, at least, let me bring back the bodies of my two granddaughters."

Butler Hoover bowed slightly: "We can only do these things. Please, accept our condolences.

I have other places to go, goodbye!"

"I'll see you off!"

Sir Karl Blatt maintained his demeanor and sent Hoover and the others to the door.

Then, he watched Hoover lead a group of people driving a carriage, pulling the coffin, and knocking on the next house.

Sir Karl Blatt's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was a bit grim. A butler walked up to him.

"Sir, what are they doing?"

"Didn't you see it? Returning the bodies of people who were looted by pirates to their families."

"You said, will it?"

"Absolutely not, if they can send back the living, the entire Oakland City will owe him a favor, so why bother doing this?!"

After a pause, he turned his head to look at the butler and said, "Send someone to the executive hall and to the Marquis family castle. I just want to ask, when will the head of that pirate captain be sent over?"

"What about them?"

"Although they are corpses, the favor is owed!"

……

At the same time, Hoover had left the home of the wealthy merchant Matthew Hayscott and was going to the home of the textile tycoon Jack Lisbon...

Jack Lisbon obviously knew what had happened. He opened the door and greeted him personally, and then carried three coffins in.

Although everyone was in low spirits, they still knew who their enemies were, and no one gave Butler Hoover a bad look.

On this morning, Butler Hoover ran a total of fifteen houses and returned twenty-three corpses.

Almost every family opened the door, respectfully welcomed them in, and respectfully sent them out.

Just as Sir Karl Blatt said, although the people who were sent back were not alive, even corpses were an explanation and a favor.

Moreover, it was not only Hoover who acted together, but also Maruna and Oliveira.

North of Oakland, less than ten miles away from Fisherman's Port, there is a port that is not open to outsiders.

This port is not big, it does not allow ships to dock, nor does it allow fishing boats to approach, because it is a military port!

Naval warships always have to dock. In order to keep it secret, they cannot be confused with ordinary ships.

Therefore, the Habsburg Empire built military ports of various sizes, some connected to shipyards, and some only able to repair ships.

And here, is one of the residences of the Third Royal Navy of the Habsburg Empire, also known as, Alkali Military Port.

Albert Shi is the commander of this port, with the rank of captain.

Although he is not a front-line commander, he is also very famous in this acre of land.

But now, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach.

Next to him, a dozen coffins were lined up, and inside were naval corpses, with their military badges placed in front of their chests, which recorded the names of the victims.

Maruna said: "Captain Albert, I'm very sorry, but, with limited ability, all we can do is send back the bodies of these naval soldiers.

Let them rest in peace, and it will be an explanation to the empire!"

"These are all brave imperial warriors. They rushed onto the Bloody Mary and fought to the death with those pirates.

The latest novel is first published at 69 Bookstore!"

It is also thanks to these brave warriors that we can come back alive!"

Only God knows how sincere Maruna's words are, but, in Albert Shi's ears, it is very harsh.

The three naval warships set off from his port, and he naturally knew the Royal Navy's plan.

That was to chop off the pirates, kill Gies, and then take the pirates' wealth as their own.

But I didn't expect that Loye would pick up the leak!

When the news came, Albert Shi had other ideas. They were the navy, and they acted more recklessly.

Such a large sum of wealth was obtained by an individual. If they didn't find a way to take a bite, then he would not be able to explain it to the navy who were fighting abroad.

For this matter, he ran a lot of places last night, inquiring about the specific situation and looking for an opportunity to take action.

But I didn't expect that before they could take action, the other party would come to their door the next day.

They were holding the banner of returning the naval corpses, and he couldn't refuse!

The other party's attitude was very good, and Maruna kept saying good things, so that he felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

But when he looked up slightly and looked at Oliveira, who was standing aside with a cold look, he had to hold back all his anger.

He tried hard to adjust his state, managed his expression, and put on a smile, saying: "I thank you on behalf of the empire and the navy!"

"It should be, it should be!"

Maruna asked seemingly casually: "Yes, haven't the naval warships returned yet? Has the sea beast tamer Gies been caught? We can't let them escape?"

"This, this, the sea communication is unchanged, now I don't know very well!"

"Oh oh, the great Imperial Navy will definitely be able to clean up a small pirate captain. I am too worried.

It shouldn't be! It really shouldn't be!"

A few sarcastic remarks made Captain Albert almost lose his composure, but, half an hour later, he finally sent everyone away.

Looking at their distant backs, the smile on Albert's face disappeared and turned cold, in just one breath.

An oblivious navy came up to him and asked: "Captain, that matter we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Albert waved his hand: "What matter? No, there is nothing, remember!"

"But?"

"There is nothing but!"

Albert withdrew his gaze, glared at the other party, and said earnestly: "The other party has just given such a big gift, if we take action, we will be poked in the spine!"

"The Imperial Navy wants face!"

"So, let's stop for a while!"

"Remember, it's just a stop for a while!"

……

Lombardy Street, No. 19, second floor.

Loye watched Lilia fall asleep, and finally turned his gaze away.

During the time he was away, Lilia was probably working non-stop. When he came back, he just took a shower, ate some food, and fell into a deep sleep.

Back at his desk, Loye picked up the tea that Mrs. Cassidy had brought up, took a sip, and fell into deep thought.

Returning the corpses can indeed gain a lot of favor, but this alone is obviously not enough.

At least, it is not enough to smooth out the danger brought by that large sum of windfall.

Therefore, follow-up actions are necessary.

It's just that, where to start is very particular.

Of course, at this time, Loye did not know that because of the spread of his reputation, he now had several nicknames in Oakland City.

For example, he was lucky enough to get the pirate's treasure, so he got the title of "Lucky Kid".

For example, his act of returning the corpses was also called the Funeral Person!

One hundred monthly tickets plus more, as promised, there is a third update!
