The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The building of the Odoline branch of the Dodd Group was already crowded with civilians from various districts in Odoline City, and even some wealthy middle-class people, as well as some mercenaries and hunters who had received some news, also tried to come here. Luckily, the number of people has already filled up the three nearby streets. For this reason, the city government of Audorin had to send a team of city gendarmes to maintain law and order.

Although the Dodd Group had recruited people from Audorin before, in terms of number and scale, this time it was definitely far more than the other times, which was somewhat beyond Sylvia's expectations.

The reason why so many people participated in this job fair, which was only for new construction companies and security companies, was mainly related to the recruitment time and content that Sylvia chose.

On the second day after the long night passed, the job fair of Dodd Group was held suddenly. It was also the first company in the whole city to openly recruit. Most other companies and chambers of commerce were recruited by fixed labor unions. , Open job fairs for ordinary people are rarely held.

In addition, due to the long night period and the accident in the factory area of ​​Dodd Group before the long night period, a large number of workers in Aodoline City were dismissed, making the whole city full of unemployed workers. In the past, these workers could only go to their respective trade unions to wait for news, but Now there is an open job fair, and they all feel that they can come here to try their luck. If they are recruited, they will save a commission to the trade union.

Of course, the remuneration for doing things in the Dodd Group is also one of the important reasons that attract so many people. During the accident at the Dodd Group factory and the long night after that, the Dodd Group did not fire a worker, and there were no casualties in the accident. For workers and employees, the Dodd Group also issued a large amount of pensions, which is the only one among the chambers of commerce and factories in the entire city of Odoline.

The Dodd Group's maverick behavior made the factory owners and chamber owners in the city very dissatisfied, so there were rumors that this kind of charity was just some hypocrisy done by the newly arrived Dodd Group in order to gain a firm foothold in the city. But for those ordinary people, no matter if they are true, good or hypocritical, as long as they can benefit from it, it is enough. So until now, the Dodd Group has been the first choice of employment for the Aodoreen people.

For ordinary people, working in the Dodd Group is already satisfying, but for others, joining the newly established security company of the Dodd Group is their goal, because they have more or less received some Rumors, the rumors mentioned that those who join the security company this time can get a constitution potion made by Dodd Group.

If you want to say that the hottest topic in the entire Mozambique continent now is the constitution potion displayed by the Dodd Group. Many forces hope to get its formula, but in the end they all failed, even churches, shamanism and the black market. These big forces have suffered, and some well-informed people know that this is because the maker of this potion is an extremely powerful wizard.

In the minds of many people who have access to the extraordinary world, the wizarding hall is equivalent to wizards, and although the wizards in the wizarding hall are very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, many people know very well that compared to the church, the wizarding hall They were as weak as ants, and any parish church could crush them, so when those people learned that it was a wizard who made the church worry, they thought they heard it wrong, and felt that this was a ridiculous joke.

It wasn't until they learned that this wizard was a high tower wizard and what a high tower wizard was, that they realized that this wizard was not that wizard, which made them even more curious about the constitution potion developed by the high tower wizard.

Afterwards, new news came out from within the Dodd Group. One piece of news was to be heard by everyone, that is, the Dodd Group seemed to be preparing to sell physical potions to the public, and would also release several types of potions related to combat. .

Another news is only circulated in the underground world, that is, the wizard behind the Dodd Group intends to rebuild the tower, and also set up a hunter's guild, intending to recruit lone hunters from the entire Mozambique continent. There are intentions to flex their muscles.

With these two pieces of news and the current job fair of the Dodd Group, no matter how stupid people are, they can see the ambitions of the Dodd Group, and the people who are most nervous about these things are not the church and other extraordinary forces, but Austrian people. The dignitaries of Doreen City, after they found out about the situation, they all felt like they had led wolves into their houses.

When the Shamanism introduced the Dodd Group, the rich and powerful in Audorin thought they had taken advantage of it. First, the Shamanism gave a lot of benefits in order to allow the Dodd Group to come in, such as the purchase of some precious commodities in the wasteland. Second, after the Dodd Group entered, the building materials, manpower and other related commercial trades used in the construction of the factory area made the rich and powerful in the city earn a lot.

Moreover, after they learned that the land used by the Shamanism to build a factory for the Dodd Group was the cursed land, they all thought that the Dodd Group might be in trouble, and they also wondered how much they could get from the Dodd Group's disaster. benefit.

What happened afterwards was as they expected. An accident happened to the Dodd Group. The entire newly built factory was almost destroyed. Let the nobles of Aldoline who have been prepared long ago eat their fill.

Originally, they thought that Dodd Group might withdraw from Aodoline City due to the destruction of the factory area, and they could make another fortune from this matter, but what they never expected was that Dodd Group would rebuild the factory area, and even It is necessary to increase investment, and Dodd Group seems to no longer limit Audoryn's industry to industrial machinery, and has also laid out construction, pharmaceuticals, and security in an orderly manner.

However, in the face of the expansion of the Dodd Group, they have nothing to do now, because they originally expected the Dodd Group to withdraw from Audorin, so in the contract signed with the Dodd Group before, they gave a lot of benefits and rights , At the same time, a huge amount of compensation is attached. As long as the Dodd Group withdraws, all the powerful forces involved in this matter can get a lot of income from it.

But now everything has gone wrong. Not only did the Dodd Group not leave, but it increased its investment. The various conditions that were originally offered are now like ropes strangling the necks of everyone present, making them unable to move. , can only watch helplessly as the Dodd Group infiltrates into the cities they control little by little.

"We can also tear up the contract and let the Dodd Group leave!" In a high-rise building of a smelter opposite the Dodd Group's factory, the contemporary patriarch of the Toth family stood in front of the French window, watching the scene of people moving around on the street below, feeling emotional A little flustered, said.

Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for everyone in the room to hear, and those who heard the proposal all looked at the proposer as if they were looking at a fool.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" The patriarch of the Toth family looked at everyone in confusion.

Seeing that the patriarch of the Thoth family hadn't realized where he was wrong, everyone felt that Aodoreen's old powerful Thoth family might decline in this generation.

Another dignitary who had a good relationship with the Toth family sighed, and asked the other party: "Bob, did you not read the contract we signed with the Dodd Group?"

Patriarch Toth immediately showed embarrassment when he heard the words. He only remembered that everyone signed the contract at that time, which meant that the contract had been checked repeatedly, and there could be no loopholes, so He followed suit, and as for the copy of the contract, he threw it into his safe without looking at it at all.

Seeing the expression on the other party's face, the dignitary also knew the answer, sighed again, and took the initiative to answer for him: "The liquidated damages in the contract are not only for the Dodd Group, but also for us. If we breach the contract, then We will pay Dodd Group a large amount of liquidated damages."

"Since losing money can solve the problem, then just pay!" Patriarch Tot said disapprovingly before he understood the situation.

Someone couldn't see it, and said directly: "Are you willing to use half of your Tuote family's property to pay this liquidated damages? Your Tuote family has a big business, and giving half of your property may not seem like a big deal to you. But we are not as rich and powerful as you, let alone half of the property, even if it is one-tenth, we can't afford it."

"What? Half of the property! Why are there so many?" Patriarch Thoth finally understood why everyone looked at him like that, and his face immediately flushed red, but he was still unwilling to let it go, and still insisted on arguing: "This kind of contract is too unfair. Reasonable, why we pay so much liquidated damages, we should declare this contract invalid, drive out the greedy Dodd Group directly, without paying them a penny."

"Shut up, idiot, do you want us all to die?" An old dignitary couldn't help but teach: "The Lord of the Sky, the King of the Hill, the Lady of the Lake, the Lord of Life and Death, the White Deer of the Black Forest, and Sasha You actually want to violate the contract jointly approved by the six major belief forces in Mansheng Mountain. Believe it or not, if you say that you will not implement the terms of the contract, tomorrow these six major belief forces will make your Thoth family a heresy in the world , at that time, anyone can kill anyone in your family, take any property from your family, and make your family completely disappear from this world."

Patriarch Thoth's face became extremely gloomy, and he was naturally extremely resentful to be taught in front of so many people, but he didn't dare to say anything more, because the person who taught him was one of the three major families of Audorin, He is in charge of the largest open-pit iron ore factory in the city, and the Toth family's smelter needs to rely on the other party's iron ore to survive. Once there is a problem with the ore supply, their family's factory will definitely be greatly affected, or even go bankrupt.

After Patriarch Toth was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say anything more, the room returned to the previous silence. Everyone was thinking about the problem at hand, but no matter what they thought, they couldn't find any members of the Dodd Group. flaw.

As long as the Dodd Group does not leave, they can only watch as the Dodd Group grows up in the city of Aodorine little by little, and finally completely controls the city of Aodorine.

"What if we restrict the Dodd Group from other aspects?" Someone suddenly suggested at this time.

Everyone looked at the proposer, waiting for the other party's next words.

Seeing this situation, the man continued: "For example, we can also recruit workers and control all workers with contracts, so that the new department of Dodd Group cannot recruit enough manpower. In addition, we can also do some work in food suppliers. Hands and feet, reduce the food supply of the Dodd Group, if there is not enough food, the Dodd Group may not be able to support too many people."

Hearing this person's proposal, other people seemed to have been inspired, and they came up with some similar methods. Without exception, these methods use some small items that are not stipulated in the contract but are very important to influence The stability of the Dodd Group makes it impossible for the Dodd Group to take root stably.

Although these proposals feel a bit sinister, everyone feels that if they are handled well, even if they can't make the Dodd Group leave Audorine, they can still prevent the Dodd Group from expanding to the greatest extent.

"These methods are very useful, but I'm still thinking about another problem." At this time, an old man in military uniform who had not spoken in the room suddenly stood up, looked around everyone, and said, "We Who among them has defected to the Dodd Group and has become our traitor."

The room became quiet again, and everyone's expressions became a little ugly, and they glanced at the people around them with distrustful eyes.

Although the people present were unwilling to believe it, they had to admit that someone among them dignitaries must have secretly taken refuge in Sylvia, but they couldn't find that person, because if they were inferred according to the normal situation, If so, except for a few people in the room, everyone else may become a secret ally of the Dodd Group.

When the Dodd Group first entered Audorin, in order to obtain the greatest benefits from the Dodd Group, all the dignitaries present secretly made some private agreements with the Dodd Group that could not be made public, and those agreements contained In addition to certain plans against other people, it is no exaggeration to say that if all the agreements held by the Dodd Group are made public, at least two-thirds of the people in the room will become enemies, and the remaining one-third will become enemies. become sworn enemies.

Therefore, this group of people who were intimately discussing how to deal with the Dodd Group are now looking at the others vigilantly. They almost all thought that the content of the discussion just now might be fully displayed on the Hill after a while. On Via's desk, even every detailed step of what he has to do is known by the other party, so how can the boycott and interference plan against the Dodd Group be carried out.

Perhaps it was because they felt that the entry of the Dodd Group was unstoppable. The owners of several small factories and chambers of commerce, as well as some members of the municipal council in the crowd, expressed that they had something to do and they had to take the first step. The departure of these people was like It was as if a breach had been dug on the embankment, causing other people to leave one after another. In the end, there were less than ten people left in the room looking at each other in disappointment.
