The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo immediately got up and went to the lighthouse altar, stood on the platform in front of the altar, and looked at the surrounding scenery.

If you don't discuss the special power of Wanghai Cliff, then this is definitely the best viewing place in Randall.

Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Randall coastline, you can see the vast ocean in the distance, you can see the whole view of Randall Harbor on one side, and you can also see the church of the Sea God Church on the outskirts of Randall. Special Trident building.

I don’t know if it was affected by the hidden power here, or because of the delusion caused by seeing such a beautiful scenery. In short, before Castle Black and the lighthouse were built, many Randorians who went to Wanghai Cliff to watch the scenery would be there. While admiring the beauty of the scenery, I couldn't help but jump down from here. Most of the people who jumped were swept away by the undercurrent hidden in the sea below, and only a few lucky ones survived.

Over time, this place became a well-known suicide sanctuary on the Vinylon continent at that time. Many celebrities from various countries in Vinylon went here to commit suicide. At that time, the Randall City Council even established a list of celebrity suicides for this purpose.

Leo has no interest in looking at the scenery, so he has never stood at this famous place to watch the scenery of Randall before, but now he stands here and looks at the surrounding scenery, and he also has an urge to jump down in his heart .

This kind of impulse was originally just a normal impulse of ordinary people to stand on a high place, but here it is affected by the special forces around, which further amplifies this impulse, even a firm-willed person like Leo will have a strong commercial impulse. The impulse to jump off a cliff, let alone other ordinary people.

After adjusting his mood a little, Leo turned his head to look in the direction of Randall Port, and his eyes fell on the extremely eye-catching metal ship on the pier.

An all-metal ship itself is enough to attract attention, and this ship is not only all-metal, but the whole body is protected by a layer of silver-white metal armor. It can be seen from far away.

Because of the barrier of the metal armor, people outside can't see the equipment inside the metal ship clearly, they can only see its shape like a sea barracuda.

Undoubtedly, for a city like Randall who relies on the ocean for its livelihood, more than 90% of the residents in the city are fishermen and sailors. , Ships that can safely pass through the sea fog will naturally attract their attention, so there is an endless stream of people on the pier to see this metal ship, almost crowding the entire pier.

Fortunately, because of the gray fog, not only the sea trade has decreased, but also the fishing at sea has decreased. The pier does not appear to be busy, and there is enough space for the citizens to watch, so even though the pier is full of people, the flow of people is still orderly Sequence, nothing went wrong.

After Leo saw the metal ship that sent the Englishmen to Randall, he realized that the ship was different from what he thought. After hearing the metal ship from Sylvia, he thought it was A functioning spaceship like a space battleship was controlled by humans to navigate the sea, but after seeing the real thing, he immediately saw that the ship was a steam ship with a battleship shell, which was very distinctive in appearance. Deceptive, but the inside is actually a completely different thing.

Although Leo has not boarded the ship for a visit, he has been able to judge the construction mode of the metal ship from the details of the ship's shape.

Obviously, the Kingdom of England should have found many space battleship wrecks that are regarded as relics of prehistoric civilization, and the main skeleton of this metal ship should be a small ammunition supply ship.

This kind of ammunition supply ship is mainly used by ground defense forces to supply ammunition for air battleships during the star zone defense battle. Therefore, the size of this type of spaceship is not very large, equivalent to the size of a medium-sized sailing ship in the current Vinylon world. The size of the spaceship can prevent the spaceship from becoming an eye-catching target after rushing into the battlefield.

Because of its size limitation, the interior space of the spaceship is naturally not much larger, so the designer simply canceled all the weapon systems of the spaceship, and turned them all into carrying compartments, and then strengthened the armor and engines of the spaceship to allow it to fly at extreme speeds, and Survive a few rounds of attacks.

In past space wars, most of these small ammunition supply ships could be preserved, or even shot down, and the remains would be relatively intact due to the protection of the outer armor, so the Kingdom of England was able to find a small ammunition supply ship Nothing incomprehensible either.

Leo didn't know what state the small ammunition supply ship was in when it was found, but since it was able to use its skeleton to rebuild a metal steam ship, it also showed that the main structure of the ship was not damaged. Still well preserved.

In addition, only part of the outer armor of the ship is the battleship armor that comes with the supply ship, and the other part should be armor pieces unloaded from the wreckage of other spaceships. Look, there is no difference between these types of armor, but in the eyes of a sensible person like Leo, the defense power of the three is completely different.

Although this metal steamship built from the wreckage of a small ammunition supply ship is the ultimate work of the current industrial technology in the Vinylon world, in terms of the strength of the ship, the ships in the entire Vinylon world may not be able to compete with it. This did not allow the ship to pass through the black fog and arrive at the city of Randall.

He remembered seeing the influence of some mysterious existences in the gray mist, many of which were huge monsters, but now this metal ship that Su Dongping hewn out was impossible to compete with. It is possible to get out of the gray fog, so there must be another real force on this ship that helped them pass through the gray fog smoothly.

Although Leo was curious about the way the ship passed through the gray mist sea area, he felt that he might not be able to use this method, because this method probably came from the mysterious sea god, so he didn't go to the pier for a closer look. The idea of ​​that ship.

"It looks amazing!" After returning to Sylvia's study, Sylvia exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "I didn't expect the technology industry in the Kingdom of England to reach such a level. With this technology, when the gray fog clears in the future, it will be impossible for other ships to sail on the seas of the entire world."

Leo could hear that while Sylvia was amazed, there was also a hint of worry in her tone. In her opinion, the dominance of one family would do more harm than good to the whole world. This is the case for the French Empire. The same is true of the present Kingdom of England.

Although the maritime overlord of the Kingdom of England is more self-proclaimed, and its influence in the world cannot be compared with the old empire of France, but it is undeniable that the Kingdom of England has reached the point of dominance in the ocean. Even if there are other kingdoms that can still fight with the Kingdom of England on the ocean, they can no longer shake its stable ocean power.

Now if the Kingdom of England really fully masters this seemingly incomparably advanced metal boat manufacturing process, then the Kingdom of England's power on the sea will expand again, and it will completely control other sea areas that it does not control. The Ge Empire is only a matter of time.

At that time, the influence of the Kingdom of England on the entire world will even surpass that of the heyday of the French Empire. After all, no matter how powerful the French Empire is, it is only a land empire of the Velen Continent, and its influence on other continents is more reflected in the culture. In fact, once the Kingdom of England controls the entire sea area of ​​the Velen World, they will be able to control the connection between the three continents. Regardless of business, cultural, or political exchanges, they will need to act according to the face of the Kingdom of England. In this case, It is not impossible that the Kingdom of England will eventually become the king of the world.

Facing Sylvia's concern, Leo just smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if the Kingdom of England masters the manufacturing process, it is impossible to make too many, because the materials used for this ship are not the current ones. Without those special materials, this metal ship is just an ordinary iron-clad steamship, which can be chiseled out by all countries."

After hearing what Leo said, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Would you like to visit that ship, I can help you..."

"No need." Leo shook his head, and then asked: "This time with the boat, who are the Yingge people who participated in the sacrificial ceremony?"

"There are a lot of people on board, but most of them are discussing cooperation matters with the Sea God Church. Only three people will participate in the sacrificial ceremony." Sylvia took a piece of information and handed it to Leo, saying, "One It is Bishop Brian, the president of the Pious Brotherhood of the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England, the other is Bachelor Reed of the National College of England, and he is also a member of the Heterogenetic Society, and the other should be your acquaintance Sean Donald."

"Sean Donald?" Leo didn't remember this person for a while, he hesitated for a while, but soon relevant information appeared in his mind, and suddenly said: "It's him? It's someone I know, but not Acquaintances." Then he was puzzled: "Why did he participate in this sacrificial ceremony? Didn't he know that he would be sent to the Sea God Temple during the sacrifice ceremony? Or did he think that going to the Sea God Temple was the same as traveling? , won't there be any danger?"

"I think the reason why he got involved should be related to the Sea God's Scepter you traded to him." Sylvia thought for a while and guessed: "He was able to find the Sea God's Scepter that the British royal family had lost for so many years. , in itself represents his luck, and now the royal family of England should have some sort of plot against the Sea God Temple, so they sent him here to participate in the Lost, just to borrow his luck and hope to gain something."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the butler came in. After saluting to Leo, he said, "Your Excellency, the mission of the Kingdom of England has sent someone to see you."

"Who is the person sent here?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

"Lord Sean Donald." The butler replied.

Sylvia was stunned, and said with a smile: "I mentioned this person just now, and this person came to the door by himself. It seems that his luck is indeed a little bit good."

After finishing speaking, she asked the butler to bring him over, and then asked Leo, "What about you? Do you want to listen in and see what his purpose is?"

"I'd better stay here! In case you call me later," Leo sat down on the sofa next to Sylvia's desk and said, "If I guessed correctly, he should be aiming at me here."

Not long after, with the sound of heavy footsteps stopping outside the door, a knock on the door also sounded in the room, and then the butler opened the door and signaled the Earl of the Kingdom of England who was following him to go in by himself. After the other party entered the room, he Close the door again, and then guard the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

At this time, Leo also saw Sean Donald who had met several times and experienced the adventure together.

Although it has only been a few years, Sean Donald has become a little old, and there is a trace of gray hair on his temples. It can be seen that although he has received a lot of attacks because of retrieving the Poseidon scepter, he has been promoted and become a The top part of the government of the Kingdom of England, but the various pressures are naturally several times or even dozens of times higher than when he was just an ordinary nobleman. These pressures forced him to jump directly from a youth to a middle-aged the state of the person.

After Xiao En entered the room, he naturally saw Leo, his target here, but he didn't seem too anxious to make friends with Leo. Via saluted and said some official polite words.

However, Sylvia didn't like this set of artificial etiquette. After Sean said a few polite words, he stopped Sean from continuing, and then asked straightforwardly: "Your Excellency Sean, what are the official languages? Don't talk about it, you don't like to talk about it, and I don't like to listen to it either, why don't you tell me why you came to my castle today?"

The conversation was forcibly interrupted, and it didn't make Xiao En show any angry expression. Instead, he kept smiling and said unhurriedly: "Since your Excellency doesn't like to hear these official words, I won't say any more. Tell me directly why I came here! I hope His Excellency Leo can participate in this ceremony and protect my safety during the ceremony."

Sylvia wanted to say something for Leo, but Leo motioned to him, and then asked Sean, "What can I get?"

Xiao En was stunned, because he didn't expect to enter the stage of negotiating conditions so soon, so the rhythm was disrupted, but he soon recovered, and said with great confidence: "I can help your friend... "

Leo interrupted the other party indifferently, and said: "If this is the case, you don't need to go on. They are capable of taking care of themselves now and don't need my help."
