The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just after Sylvia and Leo found the passenger ship to Badisa, Governor Carlos in Sobanth's Governor's Mansion had finished a daily prayer. During this daily prayer, he received the revelation of the guardian spirit and knew that In addition, there is a purple tungsten mine with a large reserve in the area under his management.

This news not only made him happy, but also made him a little worried. He was happy because the appearance of the purple tungsten mine would definitely bring more benefits to Sobanth, and Sobanth could also be further expanded. Comparable to those big cities outside the wasteland.

But he is also very clear that along with the interests, there are also crises. Although there are not many smelters that can make purple tungsten ore into purple tungsten steel, and the highest quality purple tungsten steel formula has been followed by Rupert. Fitz disappeared because of his disappearance, but even low-quality purple tungsten steel is also extremely high-quality steel, and the price has always remained high. The price of purple tungsten ore, a raw ore, is naturally the best among similar ores.

The sudden emergence of such a huge amount of wealth will definitely attract the attention of everyone around, especially the Yinyue tribe. You must know that the jungle where Sobans is located is still a settlement allocated by the Yinyue tribe to the Huorong tribe. .

If it was in the past, perhaps the Silvermoon Tribe would not have turned against the Tinder Tribe over the wealth contained in the purple tungsten mine. After all, the Silvermoon Tribe still needed the Tinder Tribe, an ally, to cheer for him on the holy mountain.

But in recent months, the relationship between Huorong tribe and Yinyue tribe has become very cold due to the superimposition of several disputes. Some people even think that the two tribes now only have the name of an alliance.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two tribes suddenly changed from close allies to indifferent collaborators in a short period of time, but in fact, Carlos, a senior member of the Huorong tribe, knew very well that the close relationship between the two tribes was temporary from the very beginning.

The Yinyue tribe is a tribe that follows ancient traditions, so when the wasteland tribes separated into the north and the south, the Yinyue tribe would rather give up all the habitats in the north and move to the deep part of the southern wasteland. Tradition has been in contact with the Silvermoon Tribe, and gained the trust of the Silvermoon Tribe, and was able to leave the Northern Tribal Alliance, which was like a cage for the Huorong Tribe.

However, the top management of the Huorong tribe knew very well that their tribe's so-called following the ancient tradition was a lie, and the illusion created by a lie could only cover up the truth for a short time, and it was absolutely impossible to deceive others for a long time.

So after settling down, the Huorong Tribe did not hesitate to use some secret methods that they did not know where to get to build the city. For example, the mutant guardian spirit that is now the protection force for all the cities of the Huorong Tribe is a secret method provided by a mysterious force.

With these means, the Huorong tribe quickly consolidated their settlements one by one, gaining a firm foothold in the southern wilderness, and these high-level tribes no longer concealed their true thoughts, and gave themselves and the surrounding things according to their own habits. Naming, for example, the name is Carlos, a foreign language name, instead of the traditional name of the tribe, and the manager of the gathering place is not the little chief, but the governor, etc.

It was also because the Huorong tribe took the initiative to expose their own ideas, which made the Yinyue tribe realize that they had been deceived, and even became the laughing stock of the Holy Mountain. The relationship between the two tribes naturally plummeted.

Different from other settlements of the Huorong Tribe, Sobansi belongs to an enclave surrounded by the settlements and hunting grounds of the Yinyue Tribe and the subordinate tribes of the Yinyue Tribe. The connection with the outside world can only rely on the Tutu River and the Dajiao River.

The reason why such an enclave was chosen at the beginning was mainly because of the white-headed roots produced here. These high-quality white-headed roots have been one of the main sources of income for the Huorong tribe for a long time.

Now that the Huorong Tribe has gained a firm foothold and has other greater sources of income, the importance of the Baitougen industry has weakened a lot. The tribe has already considered that the enclave of Sobanth may become a burden to the tribe. , So he secretly gave some instructions to Governor Carlos of Sobanth, if the relationship between the tribe and the Silvermoon tribe is completely broken, and the Silvermoon tribe comes to take back the settlement of Sobanth, he does not need to resist, just give up this place The settlement is enough, and the tribe will prepare another bigger and better settlement for him.

The high-level orders and promises of the tribe undoubtedly relieved Carlos, who had been tense in recent months. After he learned of the skirmish between the two tribes on the holy mountain, he had been worried that the tribe fighters of the Silvermoon tribe would suddenly attack. Appeared outside the city.

Although Sobanth is protected by the mutated guardian spirit, he still doesn't have the slightest chance of defending this tribal enclave, so now that he has the promise and instructions, he can leave with confidence when he encounters an irresistible attack. Worried about the punishment.

However, the situation is different now. Now the mutated guardian spirit has enlightened him and discovered that there is a purple tungsten mine with astonishing reserves. It is absolutely impossible for the high-level tribe to give up this mine that contains huge wealth, so he already has a premonition of his own. The city could become the center of a conflict between two clans.

"My lord, Mr. Brutus is waiting outside. I have something important to report." Carlos walked out of the prayer room with anxiety, and at this time the butler waiting at the door said respectfully.

Carlos said with an unhappy face: "What is Brutus doing here at this time? Did that annoying guy think of another nonsense tax clause and plan to persuade me to implement it?"

Just like the vast majority of people in the city, Carlos also dislikes the tax officer and business executive appointed by the tribe very much. Although this subordinate always has a sincere smile on his face, no matter how dull a person is, he can It can be seen that his smile is completely fake, and a guy with a serious fake smile appears by his side at any time, which always makes people feel that he is the one being ridiculed.

Although Carlos wanted to send this subordinate back to Tinder City, he just thought about it in his head, because no matter how hypocritical this subordinate behaved, Carlos had to admit that this subordinate's ability to handle affairs was very good The reason why Sobanth has such prosperity is at least generally due to this subordinate. Of course, this subordinate does not always think about raising tax rates. It would be better to increase tax collection items.

Carlos's steward also disliked the tax officer Brutus, but he did not show his dislike after receiving special training in France, but always said calmly: "It seems that it is not for tax matters, He looked anxious and there was no smile on his face."

"No smile? It's so serious." In Carlos's memory, Brutus was the kind of guy who would fake a smile when a knife was pressed against his neck. Obviously, he no longer smiled when the housekeeper said it, which made him laugh. Carlos also felt that what Brutal was going to report might be very serious.

Under the influence of uneasy emotions, Carlos did not go back to the room to change the prayer clothes, but walked towards the secondary office on the other side of the corridor.

Soon he came to the office, and at this moment he saw Brutus walking back and forth in the room with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw him coming in, Brutus immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord governor, something happened, Something big happened!"

Seeing that Brutus lost his composure, even without basic etiquette, Carlos felt that the news Brutus brought was probably the worst news, so he didn't bother to pursue Brutus's disrespect, and looked serious. He said to Brutus: "Calm down, Brutus, calm down! Tell me slowly, what happened?"

"The Yinyue Tribe camp in Angry Bear Mountain has been killed!" Brutus immediately said what he thought was the most important news.

"What?" Carlos was also shocked by the news.

He knew very well what was going on with the Silvermoon Tribe camp on Mount Angry Bear. Although it was supposed to open up a new hunting ground and regularly clean up the mutated monsters in the wasteland, in fact the camp was set up to target Sobans. , this point is very clear to the Yinyue tribe, and also to the Huorong tribe.

In order to avoid conflicts with the Silvermoon Tribe, Tinder City even instructed Carlos not to send anyone to investigate the situation in that camp, nor to have any conflicts with that camp. In order to implement the above instructions, Carlos even used Sobans The middle area with that camp was used as the demarcation line of the forbidden area, and the people of the Huorong tribe who ordered Sobansi were not allowed to enter the boundary on that side, even for hunting.

But he didn't expect his subordinates to come to tell him that the Yinyue tribe's camp in Nuxiong Mountain had been killed. This reminded him of something, and he couldn't help asking: "Did those guys from the Fuxing Society do it? They Are you crazy?"

Because the Huorong tribe relied on the Yinyue tribe to gain a foothold in the depths of the southern wilderness, so the people of the Yinyue tribe would more or less call themselves the benefactors of the Huorong tribe, and they also appeared to be superior in terms of words and deeds.

In a short period of time, the Huorong tribe will turn a blind eye to this superior attitude because of the friendship and benefits shown by the Yinyue tribe, but after a long time, many people will still be disgusted with it, and most of them are young people.

The Fuxing Society is an organization formed by young people in the Huorong Tribe. The purpose is to revive the tribal civilization and the like. In the past, the people of the Fuxing Society had conflicts with the people of the Yinyue Tribe because of this superior attitude. The most serious Sometimes they even directly turned their faces in a battle to clean up the mutated monsters. Hundreds of people fought first, and afterward, more than a dozen people died and dozens were injured.

Because the two high-level leaders of the two tribes were unwilling to break up the relationship between the two sides, they suppressed this matter and severely punished the leaders of both parties. Several high-level leaders of the Fuxing Society were also directly thrown into the mine for several years. Coolies, of course, this is also to teach those high-level executives of the Fuxing Society who have been dazzled by blood, and at the same time protect these high-level officials from being assassinated by the people of the Yinyue tribe.

However, it is clear that the people of the Fuxing Society did not become honest with this. Instead, they publicized that they must do a bigger thing and let the tribe's high-level officials see their determination.

Just a few days ago, Carlos received a message from Tinder City, asking him to pay attention to the people of the Fuxing Society in Sobanth recently, and let those people not make trouble, because the tribe is preparing to have an official meeting with the Silver Moon tribe recently. In this meeting, I plan to discuss how to calm down the differences between the two sides, etc. It seems that I want to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

Now that he heard from Brutus that the Silvermoon Tribe camp in Angry Bear Mountain had been slaughtered, Carlos immediately connected the news about Tinder City, the declaration of the Revival Society, and the upcoming talks between the two tribes' high-level officials. Subconsciously thought that all this was done by the Fuxing Society.

Hearing Carlos' roar, Brutus couldn't help being stunned, but he quickly stopped him and said, "No, my lord, you made a mistake. It's not the Fuxing Society, it's someone else!"

"Others?" Carlos calmed down a little, and looked at his subordinates inquiringly.

Afterwards, Brutus immediately told Sylvia and what she said seriously and carefully.

Carlos was stunned when he heard it. He never thought that Sylvia, who stood at the top of the Mozambique continent, was involved in this matter, so that after Brutus finished speaking, he still didn't reply. Come on.

Although Carlos used to stay in the tribal hunting camps in the northern wilderness, and the farthest place he has been to is Adoline, and he has only heard her name for Sylvia, but he still knows Sylvia very well. The political, military, and commercial aspects of the Mozambique continent make it clearer what status Sylvia and its first witch group have in the extraordinary world.

To him, such a figure who is like a legend suddenly appeared in his city, and seemed to be involved in the dispute between the two clans, which made his mind a little confused for a while, and it took a while to sort it out. She thought, and said: "Why did she tell us that there are forces secretly provoking the relationship between our tribe and the Yinyue tribe? What good does this do for her? What role does she play in it?"

If it was an ordinary person, Carlos might not think so much, but Sylvia is not an ordinary person. She is a big figure who thinks that every move will involve the situation in the Mozambique continent. In Carlos's opinion, her reminder is definitely not random. , must contain a deep meaning that he did not expect.

Facing the boss's question, Brutus didn't know how to answer it. If he was asked about business matters, he might respond quickly, but now it's not just about business matters. However, after thinking about it, he still gave a guess, saying: "Although Ms. Sylvia said that she does not want the conflict between our two tribes to affect the supply of white-headed roots, I think that lady should not He would care about the interests of Baitougen, and he should care about more interests." He hesitated for a while, and asked: "Perhaps we have hidden huge interests that we don't know about, so that lady... "

"I see, I know what she's here for!" Before Brutus could finish speaking, Carlos stood up immediately and said in surprise, "She's here for the purple tungsten mine."
