The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"How do you know they are all dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Someone obviously had doubts about the union member's words and immediately retorted.

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes, they..." the trade union member immediately shouted unconvinced.

"Old Barlow is enough, don't talk nonsense." Sensing that the trade union member might know something, the old Turcotte immediately interrupted the union member's words, and said very seriously: "If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense." Say, be careful to put yourself in." Then, he said to the other people around him: "Old Barlow was drunk just now, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Don't take it seriously, and don't spread it. Treat it as my treat."

Although many people present were curious about what Old Barlow hadn't said, when they heard that there were free drinks to drink, their curiosity was immediately forgotten by these alcoholics, and their attention was immediately shifted to other things.

On the other hand, after Old Tecott interrupted him, Old Barlow became a little sober, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He realized that he had done a very bad thing just now. Fortunately, Old Tecott Kurt stopped him, otherwise, if he told what he saw that night, some disaster might happen to him.

Although the old Barlow doesn't know who the mysterious forces who killed the Tallinn family are, judging from the fact that those people easily dismantled the Tallinn family's defenses and killed the entire Tallinn family silently, all of these have Powerful fighters and assassins, there is no doubt that behind these people also represents a more powerful force.

If he just said something that shouldn't be said, it would be a breeze for the mysterious power that made the Tallinn family disappear to make an ordinary miner like him disappear.

Afterwards, Old Barlow didn't say anything, he didn't even drink much wine, he sat silently by the table, and waited until everyone in the tavern left, leaving only a few people from the trade union, he Only then was he a little worried and said to Old Turcotte: "I'm afraid I know something I shouldn't know, I..."

"Don't tell me, I don't want to know, and I don't think anyone else wants to know." Old Turcotte interrupted him immediately.

The others nodded when they heard the words, because they could guess that their colleague probably knew the current situation and whereabouts of the Tallinn family. This kind of news may be very valuable information to some people, but for them For the low-level people, it is no less than a deadly poison. Whoever touches it will die. After all, it can easily solve the mysterious power of a Tallinn family. They should not mind adding a few more small bosses and members of the trade union.

Old Barlow hated his drunken slip of the tongue very much now, with a dejected look on his face, he asked extremely worriedly: "What should I do now?"

Old Turcotte thought about it for a while, and said: "Recently, things about the Tallinn family have been in the limelight. What you said in the tavern has been heard by many people. They may notify you for the bounty. The military police, you should know what you are. Fortunately, you can be released on bail with the strength of the trade union when you go to the police station. In the evening, leave the New Porto area immediately, go to Torch Harbor to avoid the limelight, and come back when things here calm down."

Hearing Old Turcotte's proposal, other union members said that this method was good, and Old Barlow couldn't think of other methods for the time being, so he quickly accepted it.

Later, Old Turcotte said that he was able to find a smuggling boat, which was capable of sailing at night, and Old Barlow could use this smuggling boat to temporarily go to Torch City.

After hearing this, Old Barlow quickly agreed, so Old Barlow went home to report a letter to his family, then packed a simple change of clothes, and then returned to the tavern, waiting for Old Turcotte's arrangements for the smuggling ship.

And the other members of the trade union did not stay in the tavern any longer, as if avoiding the plague, they left quickly, fearing that they would be misunderstood as being with Old Barlow if they stayed for a long time.

Old Turcotte closed the tavern immediately after Old Barlow and other union members left, and then went directly to the roof of the apartment building, went up to the roof, passed through several apartments from the roof, and came to a place a short distance away from his home. A special bureau station not far away.

After entering the special bureau station in the apartment, he immediately told his liaison officer boss here what happened in the tavern just now. The importance in the heart of the president of the Dodd Group, so they dare not neglect, even if it is not clear what the old Barlow knows for the time being, they still plan to take action and imprison the old Barlow first.

So they arranged a small plan based on Old Turcotte's proposal. After removing Old Turcotte's suspicion, they only kept the arrest of Old Barlow.

After arranging the plan, Old Turcotte also returned to his apartment. At this time, Old Barlow had already packed several sets of clothes and waited at Old Turcotte's home. Old Turcotte immediately led the old Barlow left, stopped a carriage casually, and came to the embarrassment wharf on the edge of Hope City, introduced old Barlow to the smuggling boat arranged by the Special Bureau, and then left alone.

And the smuggling boat that old Barlow was on left the pier, and was immediately caught by a large number of anti-smuggling boats from the Special Bureau. Old Barlow was also taken away by the people on board the special bureau. They were also locked up.

The next day, those who stayed at the Old Turcotte Tavern that night were also found out by their respective factories for various reasons, and were temporarily transferred from Hope City, completely leaving the topic of whether the Tallinn family members survived or died at the discussion stage. , did not let the topic develop further, until a few years later, people in Hope City were still guessing whether the Tallinn family was still alive, and the reward offered by the Dodd Group on the reward board was still clearly visible.

The disappearance of the Tallinn family is no longer worth paying attention to in the hearts of those big shots. They are more concerned about another matter related to the Dodd Group and how to annex the Lianshan Group controlled by the Tallinn family.

However, before they wanted to divide and annex the Lianshan Group, a news released by the Dodd Group had already shattered their delusion. Tolan took out a power of attorney, which was signed by Langton Tallinn's Lianshan Group equity power of attorney, I hope Tolan can use this power of attorney to stabilize the situation of Lianshan Group if something happens to him.

The outside world has no doubts about the authenticity of this power of attorney, because in the past Langton Tallinn mentioned at the Lianshan Group shareholders meeting more than once that he left a guarantee with Tolan, which can guarantee that even if he The cooperation between Lianshan Group and Dodd Group will not be affected by the accident. It seems that the guarantee mentioned should be the shares of Lianshan Group under the name of Landon Tallinn.

Although this share power of attorney is only Langton Tallinn's personal share power of attorney, not the entire Tallinn family's share power of attorney, the Dodd Group itself holds a large part of the shares of the Lianshan Group and is the second largest shareholder of the Lianshan Group. The major shareholder, and after joining this share, after contacting some other small shareholders, Duode Group has successfully become the controller of Lianshan Group, and then gradually merged Lianshan Group into Duode Group within the framework.

Although the Dodd Group blatantly annexed the Lianshan Group, all the people who witnessed this did not have any doubts about the Dodd Group, because according to the size of the Duode Group and 80% of the business of the Lianshan Group Dodd Group needs to support this point. Dodd Group does not need such a lot of trouble if it wants to annex Lianshan Group. It will directly issue an announcement, and the small shareholders of Lianshan Group will send their shares to Duddh Group. Headquarters.

What's more, Tolan Dodd and Landon Tallinn are a pair of recognized good friends. How could such a relationship allow Tolan Dodd to kidnap a friend's family for a downstream chamber of commerce that is readily available?

However, for those insiders, they are very clear who is responsible for the disappearance of the Tallinn family, and even know that the Tallinn family may be in danger. The current helm of the group, Tolan Dodd, was extremely surprised and felt that he should get to know the young president of the industrial group again.

Based on the various intelligence analyzes they collected in the past, in the eyes of most people, Tolan Dodd is an ordinary person without extraordinary power, with a peaceful personality and even weak. They think that without the support of Sylvia, The Dodd Group under his control will fall apart within a month.

However, now they find that their analysis and judgment seem to be wrong. Tolan Dodd is not as weak as they thought. At least in terms of dealing with the Tallinn family, Tolan Dodd is more ruthless than Sylvie. Yalai is even worse than that. A friend who has been playing since childhood was solved directly in this way, and the whole family solved it together. This is not something ordinary people can do.

More importantly, Tolan Dodd also used the disappearance of the Tallinn family to cleanse the foreign forces in the New Porto area from beginning to end. It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is the Church of the True God or the Shaman Church, Or the results of many years of infiltration of the New Bodo area by forces such as the black market and the wizard's assembly were lost overnight. They lost all their eyes and ears in the New Bodo area. To them, this area is a map. Sombra, it will take at least ten years to recover.

However, they don't have the energy to restore the secret station in the New Porto area. They are more concerned with the potion in the hands of the Dodd Group. For this reason, they have mobilized people to try to sneak into the laboratory in the Bran Forest outside the city.

As a result, they found that the defense force of the laboratory far exceeded their expectations. Their people had died in the forest before they even approached the laboratory. Only one shaman escaped and revealed some The details of defensive power, such as the presence of monsters in the Bran Forest, and they are tamed monsters.

Those monsters are mutated monsters of some common wild beasts in the forest, and they are not powerful monsters themselves. Even an ordinary mercenary or adventurer can kill monsters one-on-one with a cold weapon, but these monsters become Once they are grouped together, controlled by people, and have a way to attack and defend, the threat level of monsters will increase exponentially.

The team sent by the shamanism included two full-time shamans and more than a dozen veteran hunters. As long as such a team did not encounter particularly difficult monsters with extraordinary power, they would generally be able to easily deal with the attacks of any monsters .

However, it turned out that this group of troops only had a face-to-face encounter with those monsters before being dispersed by the orderly offensive and defensive groups of monsters, and then defeated by small groups and small groups of monsters one by one. The escaped shaman It was also by relying on a shaman strange object on his body that he controlled the surrounding forest to block the monsters for him, and was able to escape.

There are still some shamans who can escape. As for the people sent by other forces, they all disappeared in the Bran Forest, as if they were eaten by the forest.

This also made them feel that it was impossible for them to compete with the Dodd Group only by relying on the manpower in the New Porto area. They could only report the relevant matters to the higher management and wait for them to send support staff.

Everything that happened in the New Porto area was sent to Audrey in the form of a daily report every day. After seeing the above content, Sylvia also showed a gratified smile on her face. At least she knew that after this incident, Thor Lan has already qualified for the position of president of the group. Whether it is dealing with the betrayal of the Tallinn family or dealing with the underground forces who are trying to pry into the secrets of the Dodd Group, Tolan has handled it very well.

After reading these materials, Sylvia sent them to Leo as soon as possible. Leo didn't show much emotional change after reading them, but just asked Sylvia about Long Wing. When will Audorin come? After knowing the exact date, he is immersed in the research and development of new medicines.

However, Sylvia curiously asked about the skeleton butterfly, which also made Leo think of the flying skeleton monster he met in the air on the way to Audorin, and then said that it was not like a butterfly at all, I didn't say anything more, but this is also a kind of default.

After hearing this, Sylvia reassessed Leo's strength again. You must know that she was present at the battle where the former Pope led more than a dozen senior priests of the Church of the Sky and seriously injured the bone butterfly.

Although she was only watching the battle from a far away place, helping the Church of the Lord of the Sky to clean up the surrounding monsters, avoiding the sudden appearance of monsters and interfering with the previous pope's divine descent technique, she could still feel the power of the bone butterfly. After using God's Punishment, it was still not completely destroyed, and there was even room for escape from the siege of other True God Churches and extraordinary forces, and returned to the depths of the southern wilderness.

But now Leo was able to silently and single-handedly beat the Skeleton Butterfly away, which made Sylvia feel that the gap between herself and Leo seemed to be widening again.
