The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The banquet at the Belmont Manor had been over for several days, but the topic had still not subsided in Beruk City. Apart from marveling at the luxury and grandeur of the banquet, people were also more curious about the two owners of the manor.

All people who have been in contact with the hostess of the banquet will have the same feeling that the person standing in front of her is a queen, and they dare not look directly at her when talking to her. This kind of feeling doesn't just appear on ordinary dignitaries, even big figures at the level of the mayor, the chairman of the city council, and the highest justice will also feel this way, and they only feel this way when they go to the federal capital. I felt it when I met the federal leaders.

It was precisely because of this strange feeling that everyone in Beruk City guessed that the hostess of Belmont Manor, Sylvia Belmont, might be the queen of a certain country, and even made up a story that seemed to be true. It is said that Queen Silvia fell in love with a commoner in her own country, because her status prevented her from combining with this commoner, so she feigned death and abdicated, and then left her country with her lover to settle in the free country of the Otter Federation down.

The reason why the citizens of Beruk City would have such guesses is that, apart from the fact that the name of the manor is the surname of the hostess, not the surname of the man, the more important thing is that the man of the manor is too ordinary. Dow is often forgotten to have a master of the estate.

Just like the hostess of the manor, the male owner of the manor is also a hot topic of discussion, but the discussion about him is often just an appendage of the topic involving Sylvia. No matter how the topic about him starts, it will eventually Without exception, he will become the object of envy and envy of everyone, envious and jealous that he can get the favor of a queen like Sylvia.

However, even though Leo's performance was so ordinary and inconspicuous at the banquet, completely hidden under Sylvia's light, some careful people can still find out that Leo's behavior can be seen from some small interactions between the manor owner and his wife. Ou, who looks ordinary and useless, is actually the leader of the couple.

The reason for such speculation is mainly because every time there are some major decisions, such as increasing investment in real estate in the city, dealing with other minerals, etc., Sylvia will discuss with Leo before making a decision. When discussing, they will also say that they will give a reply after a while.

Just because of this discovery, some people began to pay special attention to Leo's movements, hoping to gain something from Leo before others discovered Leo's specialness.

However, it is a pity that Leo has hardly been out of the manor. He stays in the manor all day long and asks the servants to buy everything he needs. Judging from the things he bought, he should be doing something. Experiments, and some people inquired about the renovation of Belmont Manor, Leo asked the engineering team to build an additional laboratory in an open space. It seems that Leo has been staying in the laboratory since the banquet.

This incident did not surprise the dignitaries of Beiruk City, because many of them built a small laboratory in their own homes, and doing some new scientific experiments in their homes seemed to be a trend among the dignitaries. Anyone who has not done an experiment by himself and does not talk about new scientific topics will appear to be particularly backward and barbaric, and it will be a matter of time before he is driven out of the elite circle.

Compared with Leo who was obsessed with experiments day and night, Sylvia was very active. After the banquet, she joined some clubs composed of women one after another, and also joined several privileged clubs, because of its own mysterious Her temperament and amazing wealth made the process of joining these organizations very smooth, and she basically passed the application immediately after submitting it.

At the beginning, everyone just thought that Sylvia joined these women's clubs and privileged clubs just to make herself better integrated into the upper class of Beruk City and make more friends, but when she gave each other a few days later, The organizations she joined submitted a proposal, in which she pointed out the problems in the systems and rules of these organizations, and also wrote down the solutions to these problems.

At the beginning, those women's clubs and privileged clubs just took these proposals as a joke, thinking that it was a trick played by Sylvia to increase her reputation and show her ability, but when they read the proposal carefully, After receiving a proposal, it was discovered that they were completely wrong. Sylvia was indeed right. There were huge problems in their system and rules, and these problems would cause some loopholes. For the respective organizations, it will cause fatal losses, and there may even be an organization that will be disbanded as a result.

Later, they also found that although Sylvia had written down the solutions to these problems in the proposal, the written content was only a vague concept without specific steps to implement it. If not, I am afraid that it will take more than half a year to fill in the loopholes mentioned in these proposals. This is something that the top management of these organizations do not want to see.

So someone proposed to let Sylvia handle these matters. After all, Sylvia discovered these problems, and she also came up with the method. She also had a draft for the specific implementation steps, so there was no need to find another one. people revisit these issues.

At this time, someone also realized that the purpose of Sylvia's submission of the proposal may be for this, because it also means that Sylvia, a newcomer who just joined, has already started to enter the management of those clubs and clubs. It's something unprecedented in the past.

However, although some people are disgusted with this matter, and even feel that Sylvia should not be allowed to do whatever she wants, more people think it is a good thing, because it represents Sylvia's extraordinary ability, Having her join the management is a good thing for the development of various clubs and clubhouses.

And after this incident spread with the members of these clubs and clubs, Sylvia once again became the topic center of the upper class in Beruk City. Everyone believed that Sylvia was a very scheming person. Ambitious people, but they don't think it's a bad thing. On the contrary, they admire Sylvia's ability, and they also mentioned the speculation that Sylvia is the queen of a certain country again, and this time the mention is not No more guessing, but using this incident as evidence to prove this guess, because they feel that only a national leader who has experienced many battles in conspiracies and tricks can easily discover the loopholes in those clubs and clubs, and can take advantage of them. Those loopholes to gain power, this kind of vision and scheming are not something ordinary people can have.

This also allowed Sylvia to get the title of queen in the upper class, and what is interesting is that when Sylvia attended a meeting of a women's club, a female admirer called her "Majesty the Queen" in public. She didn't refuse the title, but accepted it happily and gave her a gift in return. This also made the upper class of Beruk City more and more affirmed her status as queen, and even attracted the attention of the upper class of the Otter Federation. .

Just when Sylvia's brilliance attracted everyone's attention, and everyone forgot that there was another male owner in Belmont Manor, a shocking news came out from Belmont Manor. The male owner of the forgotten manor has developed a new metal in his laboratory. This metal is more than twice as strong as the current best metal, and more importantly, it can also be produced.

This news is undoubtedly a blockbuster, which shocked the entire Otto Federation, because the current weapon development of the Otto Federation has far exceeded the progress of material research and development, which means that the best weapon produced by the Otto Federation is now In terms of power, the cannon has far exceeded the power of conventional equipment, but due to the limitation of manufacturing materials, this kind of cannon is disposable, and it will be completely destroyed after use.

For a long time, the smelting scholars of the Oeter Federation have been trying to find a metal with strong endurance. Although they have also researched some powerful metals, those metals need to add some extremely special and rare precious substances, and The smelting method and process are very special, and the success rate is very low, so it cannot be mass-produced.

Now that Leo claims to have developed a new metal that can be mass-produced and has more than double the strength and toughness, how can it not cause a sensation.

Therefore, on the day when the news came out, experts and scholars from the Beiruk City Smelting Bureau, together with the high-level officials of Beiruk City, came to Belmont Manor to confirm whether this metal was real. The authenticity of the metal is beyond doubt.

After a period of time, experts from other parts of the Otter Federation, and even the capital, came to Beruk City one after another, and confirmed the authenticity of the metal. After that, the Otter Federation government directly bought it for Leo and Silvia on the same day The smelter placed an order, and the city government also sold the land around the smelter to Leo and Silvia at a very low price for them to expand the smelter.

In this way, Leo and Sylvia entered the upper class of the Otto Federation, and began to get in touch with some mysterious knowledge that the common people could not get in touch with.

A loud sound of "Bang!" broke the peace of a forest, and the explosion of the ammunition blasted a small hole in the contact area. Not far away, the fat Tatu beast lay there bloody and bloody, and the wounds were all ammunition. The fragments seemed to have completely lost their sound.

"Oh! This guy is really awesome! After using this thing, how can I use other guys." A strong man in a hunting suit with a big curly beard shouted loudly while Walked over, and fondly played with an exquisite shotgun in his hand.

This shotgun is not only exquisite in appearance, but also smaller than normal shotguns. The most important thing is that this shotgun can be carried by a person, unlike other shotguns that require a servant to carry it on his back.

Beside this burly hunter, besides some servants, there are many people also wearing hunting clothes. These people are all the dignitaries of Beiruk City, and they are also members of the Beiruk City Hunting Association. Today It's their weekly hunting routine.

Among these people, there was a young man wearing a short windbreaker and long boots who looked out of place among these people. The reason for this was not only because he was not holding a shotgun in his hand, nor was he wearing a hunting suit, but more importantly What's more, he has an air about him that makes him look more like a scholar than a hunter like these people around him.

However, at this moment, this man who seemed out of place became the focus of everyone, and many people came to make friends with him, and the purpose was not for anything else, but for the exquisite shotgun in the hand of the bearded burly man.

After talking for a few words, someone couldn't wait to ask Leo: "Your Excellency Leo, you said earlier that you made this shotgun with special metal. I don't know if I am honored to be able to keep one of your own. Forged shotgun?"

When other people saw someone speak, they also asked Leo.

For members of the Hunting Association, money and beauties are not in their eyes, but a beautiful and powerful shotgun is the peerless beauty that makes them fall in love with it.

When Leo arrived just now, some members of the association looked down on Leo who was not wearing a professional hunting suit, and did not see the servant with a shotgun, so they thought that Leo was not for hunting, but for making friends with other members of the association some.

In fact, regarding Leo's joining the Hunting Association, there has also been some discussion within the association. Many people think that Leo is not qualified to join the association, because the members of the association are hunters who love hunting, and Leo obviously did not show his strength. He is fond of hunting, so Leo is not qualified from the basic level.

But other people don’t see it that way. They think that the Hunting Association is not just an association of hunters, but also an organization that promotes exchanges between the elites of the upper class. Anyone with sufficient qualifications and status can join the association, and Leo obviously have this qualification.

In addition, Leo, who has developed a special metal, has now gained status, money, and prestige, and is eligible to join any association in the Outer Federation, and his first choice now is the Hunting Association, so it is a kind of reward for the Hunting Association. Fortunately, if you refuse, you will not only offend Leo, but also Sylvia who has a certain influence in Beruk City, and will make other people feel that the Hunting Association is too arrogant, which will cause serious damage to the Hunting Association. Great adverse effects.

Therefore, after much consideration, the association approved Leo's application the day before the start of the new hunting event, resulting in Leo's itinerary.

However, just when everyone thought that Leo was just going through the motions and would not really participate in hunting activities, they saw Leo took out an extremely exquisite and gorgeous small shotgun from his backpack .

Although everyone present is an old hunter, judging from the shape of the shotgun, the power of this shotgun may not be very great, but I am still attracted by the exquisite appearance of this shotgun. I think it is a very good shotgun from the bottom of my heart. collections.
