The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the thought of the destroyer of the world is not considered a popular thought in the church of Velen World, it has always been passed down and has not disappeared.

If this kind of thinking would not cause any movement in normal times, but now that there is such a big change in the world of Velen, people in the church are also panicking, and the theory of the end has begun to spread inside and outside the churches, and there are more and more people. People began to pay attention to the thinking of the world-destroyer, and even looked for the so-called world-destroyer very seriously.

The Purification faction of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, as advocates of the doomsday theory, naturally has many people who agree with the thinking of the world destroyer, and there are many fanatics among these people.

The results of Sylvia's investigation showed that the assassination of Tolan Jr. originated from a small group of the Cleansing faction of the Lord of the Sky Church. People who think in the world also think that before the destruction of the world occurs, they should find the one who destroys the world, so as to save the world.

The liquidator who served as an assassin was also a member of the Salvation Society, so the assassination of this liquidator did not have the consent and approval of the high-level church of the Lord of the Sky.

Even so, it doesn't mean that the senior management of the Church of the Lord of the Sky is unaware of this matter. In fact, the Salvation Society used their influence within the Church of the Lord of the Sky after it was determined that Tolan Jr. might be the legendary World Destroyer He made a proposal to assassinate Tolan Jr. to the church's top officials.

Now the people who preside over the church affairs of the Lord of the Sky in the United Kingdom are all the Purification faction, and the Redemption Society just sent a clerk to station in Lanxi, so the people who participated in the discussion of the proposal to assassinate Tolan Jr. are all the high-ranking members of the Purification faction .

At the meeting, these high-level purges did not pass the assassination proposal. Judging from the data of Sylvia's investigation, the reason why it was not passed was not because these people did not approve of the salvation faction's approach, but because they had feelings for Sylvia. Concerns, thinking that unless Sylvia is dealt with at the same time, he should not do anything to Little Tolan.

That is to say, after discussing Assassination Days, these high-level purges began to discuss how to deal with Sylvia. Ya and Tolan Jr. solve it together.

However, because the Purging faction did not communicate with the underground Redemption Society, after vetoing the assassination proposal, the Redemption Society believed that the higher-ups were afraid of Sylvia's power and did not plan to do anything, so they no longer applied to the above, but themselves Do it, and this will lead to the subsequent assassination.

The assassination of Tolan Jr. was reported back to the headquarters of the Cleansing faction. Of course, the high-level leaders of the Cleansing faction knew what was going on, so while contacting the high-level officials of the United Kingdom, they hid all the members of the Redemption Society. It seemed that they wanted to Under Sylvia's wrath, keep these hardcore members of the purge faction.

After learning about the situation, Leo looked very calm. He put the information in his hand on the table and asked, "Is there any news from the United Kingdom?"

"It was delivered not long ago, and it was only one step late. It seems that it was deliberately arranged at this time." Sylvia took three letters from the drawer and put them on the table.

Leo picked up the three letters, flipped through them, and found that the writers of the three letters were all unusual. One was Viscount Kemp, Speaker of the House of Lords, the other was Sir Hansen, Secretary General of the General Staff, and the other was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Federation of Trade Unions.

Although the Speaker of the House of Lords does not have the right to propose and vote in the House of Lords, he has the right to veto proposals. Almost all political proposals in the United Kingdom need his consent to be implemented, which makes him known as Gong Xianglu The second most powerful man in the kingdom under Burt Fitz.

Although the Secretary-General of the General Staff Department cannot only know one soldier in the army, it is the responsibility and power of the General Staff Department to formulate military combat plans and mobilize logistics supplies. This makes the power of the Secretary-General of the General Staff Department the only Second to the Minister of Military Affairs and the head of the legions of the various ministries.

As for the deputy secretary-general of the Federation of Trade Unions, who controls the workers across the country, he can organize more than 100,000 workers to participate in certain activities at any time. When the secretary-general, Rupert Fitz, does not often return to the trade union to handle matters, he can say Is the direct leader of the Federation of Trade Unions.

These three people are definitely one of the most powerful people in the entire French United Kingdom government. At the same time, they are also the most loyal members of the Royal Party. No one is much less powerful than Sylvia. They got it from Philip III. Trust is no less.

Now that these three people have sent letters at the same time to intercede for the Lord of the Sky's purge faction, it will be a huge pressure for any normal person.

"What are your plans?" Leo put down the information in his hand and said.

Sylvia said calmly: "Aren't we worried that we can't find anyone to deal with? Now that these guys have all escaped, we just happened to deal with them all at once."

Leo nodded and said, "Give me their addresses, and I'll deal with them."

Sylvia frowned, and said in a deep voice, "As a mother, I want to avenge my son myself?"

"You gave up all of this and planned to leave the Faran Empire." Leo asked back.

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words, and did not speak. As Leo said, if she really took care of the three higher-level spokespersons of the Lord of the Sky Church in the Kingdom and those troublesome Salvationists , then she is tantamount to completely offending the Church of the Lord of the Sky and the royal family, and the United Kingdom government will no longer rest assured that she is in charge of the largest intelligence organization in the kingdom. In the end, the only choice Sylvia can make is to Resign from the Kingdom and leave the United Kingdom.

If there was no little Tolan, Sylvia would not care about these powers in the kingdom, and she would give up if she gave up, but now that there is little Tolan, she hopes that little Tolan can inherit her title, so she hesitates stand up.

"Leave this matter to me! You give me the hiding place of the rescue club, the list of each member, and the addresses of the three dignitaries, and let me solve them!" Leo reached out and stroked Xi. Sylvia's cheek, rubbed his fingers on the other's forehead, smoothed out the wrinkles that appeared due to the frown, and said: "I will be a lot more secretive when I do things alone. You'd better find someone to pretend to be me. As long as you don't If they were caught at the scene, even if those people knew that I did it, they would have no evidence, and the most likely possibility would be to be expelled from the scene.”

Sylvia is a decisive person. She listened to Leo's proposal, thinking quickly in her mind, and soon decided that it was the most appropriate to let Leo do it. Although she said it so harshly just now, she didn't actually Completely decided to fall out with the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and now Leo is doing it for him, which just saves her so that she won't be troubled by it.

After figuring this out, Sylvia didn't say anything more, nodded, and said, "Well, that's it, I'll ask someone to bring these materials over now."

Afterwards, Sylvia immediately notified her subordinates to find out all the ready-made materials and send them to Castle Black.

Although Sylvia separated the intelligence agency within the kingdom and handed it over to someone appointed by Philip III, which greatly reduced the number of people she could directly command, she still had the power to collect and organize intelligence. in hand.

On the night when the order was issued, relevant information was sent to Sylvia, and after receiving the information, Leo did not stay in Castle Black any longer, allowing Sylvia to become He himself, after memorizing the contents of the information, left Castle Black at night, and came to the Kingdom Railway in the outskirts of Randall City, waiting for the next Kingdom steam train bound for a nearby city to depart from Randall. Doyle drove over there.

The reason why Leo didn't choose to let Sylvia buy the ticket and left directly at Randall Station was mainly to avoid the ticket revealing his whereabouts. You must know the person hiding in Randall staring at Sylvia But there are quite a few, not only people from the Church of the Lord of the Sky, but also those who are waiting to watch the show are also staring at this side. He doesn't want his whereabouts to be known by everyone before he leaves Randall.

With the sound of a whistle, the kingdom train pulled by a huge locomotive came quickly from a distance, and rushed to Leo in the blink of an eye.

When these kingdom trains were designed, it was considered that someone would pick up the train, or someone would attack the train, so the entire carriage was sealed by steel plates, leaving only the railing windows, which can be fully opened when necessary , or it is called an exit for people to leave, or it becomes an attack port to deal with an attack.

However, Leo didn't think about entering the carriage at all. When the train passed by, he directly used his spiritual power, formed a rope, fixed it on the carriage, and then used the train's own driving force to throw himself into the carriage. In the air, he landed steadily on the roof of the train, followed him and lay down on the roof, glued to his body with spiritual energy, left Randall without anyone noticing, and drove towards Hanlock City.

Although important administrative units such as the government of the United Kingdom, trade unions, chambers of commerce, etc. are all set up in the ancient city of Lanxi, power agencies such as the royal palace, the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the military staff are set up in the nearby Hanlock City.

Hanlock City was only Hanlock Town a few years ago. The French royal family had a palace here, and the entire town was the royal territory.

With the establishment of the kingdom, Philip III took over the town of Hanlock as a matter of course, and donated all the land in Hanlock town except the royal palace to the royal government, and transformed it into a high-level kingdom administrative region different from Lanxi city. .

In fact, Philip III's idea has indeed been realized in the past few years. With the full cooperation of the Royal Government, some of the power agencies in the Royal Government have been relocated to Hanlock City. The previous power institutions were all dominated by the nobles of the kingdom, so the nobles of the kingdom also settled here, making Hanlock City further aristocratic.

Now there is a saying among the people in the United Kingdom that Lanxi is a poor government, just like the cage city of Lanxi, which is chaotic on the outside but has a kind of order and prosperity inside, while Hanlock is an aristocratic government, like a royal palace, with a gorgeous appearance, But there is an unknown filth hidden inside.

No matter how you say it, the people of the United Kingdom cannot deny that Hanlock City, surrounded by mountains and with a pleasant climate, is definitely more suitable for ordinary people to live in than Lanxi City, which is surrounded by factory smog all day long.

Most of the buildings in Hanlock City have been built in recent years. Due to time constraints, they need to be put into use in a short period of time. Therefore, the city builders did not spend much time on the architectural style, and directly used famous buildings in other cities. For example, the Parliament Building in Hanlock City directly uses the slightly modified church style of the Church of the Lord of the Sky in Miria City, and the railway station in Hanlock City applies the Crystal Palace Station in Miria City without any changes.

I have to say that although this is a bit opportunistic, the effect is very good, especially those elite scholars who escaped from Miria City and joined the United Kingdom. When they saw these familiar buildings, they suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of belonging.

Leo, who was lying on the top of the train, was covered by the steam and landed on the platform next to him the moment the train pulled up. He looked at the familiar train station building and didn't stop much. He quickly mixed into the flow of people coming and going, and walked out.

It has been three days since Leo left Randall, which is exactly within the time Leo estimated, and his best time to do it is these two days.

Among the three people Leo wants to solve, except for the speaker of the House of Lords who is permanently stationed in Hanlock City, the other two spend most of their time in the front-line logistics department and the Lanxi Federation of Trade Unions, but these three people will meet with other royal families every six months. Officials come to Hanlock for a gathering to report to Philip III about their work, get in touch with colleagues, exchange information, etc. According to the information given by Sylvia, these two days are the days of their gathering, so For a while, the three people Leo wanted to deal with would all be in Hanlock City.

Before departure, Sylvia asked Leo to go to her subordinates in Hanlock City for help after arriving in Hanlock City, but Leo did not intend to do so, except because he felt that the assassination of these three people was just for her. Aside from a trivial matter, what's more important is that he doesn't trust Sylvia's subordinates, even though Sylvia said that those subordinates are absolutely trustworthy.

Leo has obtained the fixed accommodation of these three people from Sylvia, and the place he is going to now is the residence of the Speaker of the House of Lords.

The aristocratic district where the Speaker of the House of Lords lives is located in the southeast corner of Hanlock City. There is a swampy lake here. The scenery and climate are the best in the city.

Usually there are military police patrolling here to maintain law and order. During the war, the empire sent many assassins to sneak in here to try to assassinate the kingdom officials, so now ordinary people have been banned from entering here, and checkpoints have been set up everywhere to prevent assassination Things like that happen again.

When Leo entered this area, he changed his appearance and pretended to be a little nobleman who lived here. Although energy disruptors and the like were placed in these checkpoints, it was impossible to crack Leo's imitation faceless. shapeshifting abilities.
