Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

In the taxi, Xiu said, "It's unimaginable that Mr. A actually refused this commission."

She frowned and said, "But among the extraordinary people we know, it seems that only Mr. A has the strength to complete this commission."

"We'd better tell Miss Audrey the news as soon as possible." Forsi said: "I still can't believe that Miss Audrey would issue such a mission."

Xiu said: "It seems that Miss Audrey is not as naive as she appears. Could this be a secret struggle in the aristocratic circle? Or is it a prelude to a premeditated plan to provoke a war?"

Forsi also speculated: "Maybe some big figures represented by Earl Hall want the situation to become chaotic?"

The two looked at each other, feeling a little funny. How could they, two little people, guess what these big shots were thinking?

Taking a carriage back to the residence of Viscount Gray Lint, Audrey, who was waiting for news here, heard that Mr. A rejected the commission, and immediately felt a little frustrated.

But soon she made up her mind: "I will launch an emergency rally of the Justice League!"

Xio, Forsi, and Gray Lint looked at each other. There were already four sponsors here, and only the sponsor Hobert was absent.

…

Hobert worked hard all morning and won both lawsuits, which was a good start for their team.

During lunch, Hobert reviewed the defense for Jessica and Russ and corrected several mistakes in their defense.

Newcomer Jessica took notes while listening and even forgot to eat.

Lasga also listened very carefully and was glad that he made the right choice. He followed Hobert to the new team. For him, this was a good opportunity to increase his experience and work experience.

In particular, Hobert's practice of reviewing cases for them was a learning opportunity that was rarely encountered when working as an assistant to other lawyers.

After lunch, Hobert asked Jessica and the two to go back first. He was going to visit a "client".

Following the address given by Harvey Hayden, Hobert arrived at 1899 Nieklo Street.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he felt something. He looked at an exquisite and spacious private carriage. The window was open and he saw an old man and a middle-aged man sitting opposite each other inside.

The middle-aged man had long hair and looked a little greasy. He was the person in charge of the Tamara Family in Backlund that he saw when he was channeling the members of the Tamara Family.

In front of the old man, the middle-aged man looked a little flattering and didn't even smoke a cigar.

Such a long time had passed since the battle, and Hobert was no longer afraid of meeting people from the Tamara family. He remembered the old man's appearance, and then went to see the signboard No. 1899: Ruiyi Machinery Trading Company.

At this time, the old man in the carriage and the long-haired Alva seemed to be looking at Hobert with emotion. At this time, Hobert was already looking at the sign of "Ruiyi Machinery Firm", so he did not attract their attention. .

The two of them didn't pay attention and continued on their way.

This old man was one of the people sent by the Tamara family to find out why the team that eliminated the traitors was destroyed. He was responsible for the investigation on the surface, but after more than ten days of investigation, no results were found, so he could only accept that Alva The statement provided in the report: The action team was killed by the Loen royal family.

Today is the day for the old man to leave, and Alva is going to deliver him to the train station himself.

On the other side, Hobert entered the lobby of the business without any panic, made his request to the front desk to see Mr. Dix, and asked the front desk to tell him that he was Hobert Jeffrey.

He has become accustomed to the attraction of the "Country of Disorder" to Extraordinaries of the same sequence. Other Extraordinary people still cannot feel their connection with the "Country of Disorder", so he is so calm.

The front desk was about to reject Hobert's request, but after hearing Hobert's name, he knew he might be a friend of Mr. Dickos, so he asked Hobert to wait on the sofa while she went upstairs to report.

But it only took half an hour. Half an hour later, the little girl came back out of breath: "Mr. Dickos invites you to meet at the steam pump factory."

Hobert followed the little girl and saw the huge factory area behind the store. From the lobby of the store, Hobert could see that Dicos' business was very big, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

These factories are factories that produce large machinery, such as steam cranes, steam textile machines, steam sugar presses, steam mining machines, steam machine tools, and even steam locomotives.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the steam pump factory.

Entering through the small door of the factory, Hobert saw a dozen steam pumps being assembled in the spacious factory.

Because Emperor Russell did not popularize the concept of "production line", more than a dozen steam engines were assembled at the same time. Although it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, the scene was spectacular.

The whole workshop was filled with ping-ping-pong-pong and the sound of shouting.

Some parts are too large and require a complex pulley structure lifter or several people to lift them together to complete the installation.

This is a labor scene that Hobert has never seen before. It doesn't have the speed of an assembly line, but it makes people feel very rustic.

The steam pump is the earliest use of steam machinery. It is mainly used to supply water to high places and pump out accumulated water in mines.

These machines are as big as a carriage or as large as two locomotives. They are really huge.

In front of a steam pump that was about to be assembled, Hobert saw a gentleman in his forties, not very tall, leaning on a cane, smiling at himself: "The last time I saw you, you Only two years old, smiling at me in your mother's arms, that smile makes your heart melt."

Hobert stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Dix."

Dickos limped towards Hobert with a cane: "Sir Rex told me not to take the initiative to find you. How did you find me?"

"I took over a mission with Mr. Harvey Hayden." Hobert tried not to look at the other person's legs: "He told me I could find you here."

"It turned out to be that kid. I heard that he was doing well in the mercenary world in Backlund." Dikos smiled and pointed at his leg and said, "This was an injury he sustained in the Southern Continent. Fortunately, your father returned home that time." I need help in time, otherwise my life will be gone."

He invited Hobert to sit down in the reception room in the workshop. The sound of ping-pong-pong outside always attracted Hobert's attention.

"There is no man who doesn't like machinery." Dikos lifted his injured leg with his hand and found a more comfortable position to sit down: "What you see is the second generation water pump. The first generation is Piston type water pumps are prone to leakage.

"What you see now is a centrifugal pump type water pump. You may not have heard of the term centrifugal pump. This is a new invention that requires a higher speed of the steam engine. Of course, the efficiency of the second generation water pump has also been greatly improved. "
