Magic Industrial Age

It was night,

Marquis's Castle, in the study.

The current Marquis was muttering to himself again.

“Mrs. Linda's distinguished guest, Gary Mills's disciple, Douglas's partner, Mark Williams, the president of the Seven Gods Bank, a small shareholder in nine magic energy factories, and he even opened a magic energy machinery factory himself...”

“This illegitimate child is really capable of making trouble!!!”

“You ask if we should send someone to kill him?”

“That's easy to say, how do you kill him? How many people are suitable to send? How many experts would it take to take him down?”

“Based on his current performance, without three or four extraordinary combatants, he might just escape.

At that time, Dolgy's trouble will fall on me, and I will be annoyed to death!”

“So, let's put him aside for now. What should be put aside must be put aside!”

“He has done so much just to seek stability. Now, neither I nor Dolgy dare to move him easily.”

“What, you ask what to do with such a large fortune?”

“That's naturally not his; it's just being stored there for a while.”

“Let's wait and see. Once everything is done, I have plenty of means to deal with him!”

“We need enough patience and need to wait. Nowadays, Dolgy's reputation for incompetence has spread throughout the empire.

It's only because Hohenzollern III hasn't given up on him that he's still sitting in that position.”

“What I need to do now is to add some force in the Noble Elder Council to make this guy obediently get out of here.”

“As long as he's not sitting in that position and doesn't have that skin, I can make him wish he were dead!”

“Hehehehe…”

“Take a trip to the Imperial Capital and give what I gave you to Councilor Lawrence. He will know what to do!”

“Auckland City will only be Auckland City of my Marquis family!”

“Hehehehe, hehehehe, hahahaha…”

At this point, the Marquis seemed to see the grand scene after his goal was achieved, so that he let out a series of laughter.

At first, it was suppressed, but later it became louder and louder, even spreading outside the study, and his pride filled it.

Outside the study, when the servants heard the laughter, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they hurried out, none dared to stop.

Even the butler of the Marquis family was like this, with a look of horror!

…

Auckland City, the executive hall.

Inside the executive officer's office, Lord Dolgy Petrovich was flipping through the information in his hand, his eyes slightly squinted, a cup of coffee beside him, steaming.

Contrary to the Marquis's imagination, Dolgy did not have much panic on his face, and even seemed calm.

At a certain moment, he closed the information in his hand, looked up, and said with a smile: “Do you think that Marquis is still complacent there, always thinking that he can win this game against me?”

Opposite him stood a blond youth, he was elegant in demeanor and capable in temperament, but he did not have much joy when he heard the words.

After a slight hesitation, the blond youth opened his mouth: “Lord, is it a bit too dangerous to do this?”

“I'm just afraid that the Marquis will be desperate and cause even greater chaos.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end!”

“What I want is for him to be desperate, only when he is desperate, only when he is desperate, can he show his feet, can he be completely eradicated!”

“Only when he is desperate, the Twilight Hermit Society behind him may come to the forefront, and only then can I wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

Dolgy's words were filled with great confidence, a look of certainty.

But the blond youth's expression did not relax, and even his muscles tensed up: “Lord, what you said makes sense, but this will also put you in danger.

I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that the result will not be too good!”

“Moreover, even if you really do, wipe out the Marquis family, severely damage the power behind him, but you, you will inevitably be remembered!”

“I'm afraid you will also be forced, forced to step down!”

Dolgy was still relaxed, and said: “I know, I know, but if I step down, isn't there you?”

“You will accept this position, promote my policies, and let Auckland City embark on the right path.”

“Moreover, if my loyalty and ability are seen by His Majesty, then the future will be bright!”

“I sacrificed myself to enter the game, just for today!”

Saying this, he turned his head and looked into the distance from the window.

It was a dark night, silent, without light, and the pervasive darkness shrouded the sky and the earth.

But Dolgy seemed to see the light, saw a bright future.

At a certain moment, he suddenly said: “Calculating the time, the imperial ironclad ship Emden should have caught up with the Ghost Mist Pirate Group, right?”

“As long as Gith is caught, the Marquis is afraid that he will be anxious!”

“You prepare the channels, I hope the news will reach the Marquis's ears as soon as possible,

I hope that at that time, he can still maintain a wonderful mood.”

After a pause, he seemed to remember something again, turned his head slightly, looked at the blond youth, and said: “By the way, there is one more thing you have to help me do.”

“What?”

“Go see that illegitimate child, help me bring a message to him, tell him, be careful not to die!”

The blond youth was a little puzzled: “Is it worth it?”

“Before, I wanted him to die, but now, I admire him a little, he can make such a big situation, and he can also design a magic energy machine…”

“This will be the talent that the empire needs, it is right to give him some warning.”

…

Deep in the Silver Sea.

Two warships were fighting, and there were bursts of roaring, artillery fire, and from time to time, the splashed water rose into the sky.

There were also wood chips flying, mist rolling, and screams coming from afar.

There were also angry roars, accompanied by gunshots, magic and fighting spirit shining dazzlingly.

The two sides fighting, one side is the Ghost Mist Pirate Group, one of the three major pirate groups in the Silver Sea.

Their magic warships floated out of a rich white mist, spreading in a range of ten miles, like a group of walking mist, which is very strange under the bright sunlight.

However, no matter how magical the magic ship is, its long-range attack method is still the magic energy cannon.

Every time it fires, the diffused fire will expose its position.

And the opponent of the Ghost Mist Pirate Group is an ironclad ship.

The overall coating is silver-white, designed as a streamlined hull, without sails, and no sails are needed, but there are three chimney-like existences, which are emitting billowing black smoke.

The hull is about two hundred meters long and more than thirty meters wide, and the interior is covered with magic patterns, like tentacles, climbing to every part of the hull.

At this time, the visible magic brilliance is shining, which can drive the two propellers underwater, so that this huge warship can travel at a very fast speed, and the flexible action turns.

The agility does not match its huge size.

This is the ironclad ship, the Habsburg Empire's bottom-of-the-box naval force, made of steel, covered with magic patterns, and powered by a magic energy pool, driven by propellers.

Of course, the biggest advantage of ironclad ships is that they have enough load-bearing capacity.

Ordinary wooden sailing ships, as long as there are too many magic energy cannons, may cause capsizing.

Or, the recoil of a salvo may cause the warship's deck to crack, break, and disintegrate!

But ironclad ships can be equipped with more cannons, even larger calibers, and have more exaggerated power.

Just like now, from a long distance, the Emden's salvo is dozens of shells across a beautiful arc, directly into the fog.

The 'boom boom boom boom' explosion raised the waves and also raised a huge fog.

The counterattack of the Ghost Mist Pirate Group seemed a little scattered and weak.

The only thing they can do is to spread the mist and submerge the ironclad ship, so that it can not distinguish the direction.

However, the Emden is not a vegetarian either. With its strong power and fast speed, it easily throws the fog behind it.

Moreover, they came prepared, and there were even powerful military mages on board, using the power of the magic energy pool, and a few powerful wind spells were thrown over, which could clear most of the fog.

Then, the ironclad ship fired a salvo at the magic ship. As long as three or two shells fell on the magic ship, it could not bear it.

The magic ship of the Ghost Mist Pirate Group of course also has means, and the magician has propped up a protective spell.

It's a pity that the shells hit it, although it will be blocked, but the huge shock wave caused by the explosion is not fake.

And this forced the masters of the Ghost Mist Pirate Group to cut out a series of fighting spirit blades, or use long-range magic to detonate the bombs.

But under the close-range shock wave, some pirates were stunned and fell to the ground, vomiting blood, apparently suffering from internal injuries.

At this moment, the advantages of the ironclad ship are fully demonstrated, and the majesty of the Imperial Royal Navy is also revealed.

On the ironclad ship, an old man in a smart navy uniform raised his head slightly, and his huge voice resounded across the sea.

“Davis, I don't want to kill you, so hand over Gith.”

“Otherwise, after today, there will only be two of the three pirate kings in the Silver Sea.”

In the mist, a violent voice came: “I won't hand it over, what can you do to me?”

“Hehe!”

The old man sneered, as if looking at a group of dead people.

Also at this time, a rumbling sound came, just beside the ironclad ship, the water splashed open, and a huge crab-shaped sea beast jumped out.

It opened its mouth and spit out a series of water columns hitting the hull, and the huge body slammed forward, and the blade-like knife feet inserted into the hull.

This is its experience, once tried and tested, and it has dismantled I don't know how many sea ships.

But this time, it encountered a nemesis, the water column hit the steel hull, at most it shook a little.

And its claws only left a little trace on the ironclad ship.

Until the end, to no avail, this giant crab sea beast had to stop.

And Gith, who was standing on top of its head, looked up.

Then, he saw on the edge of the ship, an old man staring at them coldly, his expression indifferent without any change, and his wise eyes were full of sneers.

Around him, the fighting spirit spread out, like flames burning the sky, soaring into the sky, and the rolling heat wave spread around.

Four, a fourth-order powerhouse?!

What virtue and ability do I have?

This is the idea that popped up in Gith's mind.

And the old man stared at him, grinned: “Gith, right, I finally caught you!”

The second update is here!
