The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When the special train for federal supplies from Josh County pulled into the Seventeen Heroes Station in the suburbs of the capital Mirtaros, those who were busy on the platform were all dumbfounded looking at the train, and the first thing everyone thought of was The front line has been lost, and the flames of war have spread to Josh County, and it will soon hit the capital, Mirtaros.

It is no wonder that these people have such thoughts, because judging from the devastated appearance of this train and the countless flesh and blood hanging outside the carriage, this train looks like it has been on a battlefield, and it was the first front that directly encountered the enemy The kind of charge attack.

However, before the people on the platform could inquire about more information, the entire platform was blocked by the people of the federal government. All the people on the platform, whether they were businessmen who were handling business or the staff of the platform itself, were all blocked. expelled.

It didn't take long before I saw carriages coming out of the platform. These carriages were different. There were freight trains, prison carriages for prisoners, and medical carriages for transporting the wounded and sick. But the most eye-catching thing was A luxuriously decorated carriage, many people recognized that the two carriages belonged to the congressional commissioner's carriage, and when the carriage drove out of the platform, there were a large number of secret service security personnel protecting it, which made many people speculate Who is in the carriage.

All of a sudden, various speculations about this special train of supplies began to spread in Miltaros. Although the official news agency of the federal government quickly clarified the rumor that the front line had fallen and the war had spread to Josh County, but the There is still no positive response to what kind of attack the train has experienced.

However, someone got some information from the prison, saying that the attack on the train might be related to foreign lycanthropes.

As soon as the news came out, the people of Miltaros immediately went into an uproar.

For a long time, the Otter Federation has hoped to absorb the lycanthropy group through the lycanthropy anti-discrimination policy so that they can be used by the federation, but the effect has always been very poor, and it can even be said that there is no lycanthropy group in the entire federation. The total is less than a thousand people, and even the vast majority of the thousand people do not have federal status.

On the contrary, the federal government has made the people extremely dissatisfied because of some policies that favor lycanthropy. They think that the various preferential policies of the federal government should be used on the federal people. These people have gradually formed political groups against lycanthropy. Enter the federal government for various political activities.

However, in the past, most of the high-level federal government did not intend to modify this policy, so these anti-lycanthropy political groups can have very little effect, and they are considered to be the most marginal level among all kinds of political groups in the entire federal government. .

Contrary to their influence in the government, their influence in the private sector is very large. Almost every city has such anti-lycanthropy associations, associations, etc. According to incomplete statistics, the combined membership of these organizations accounts for One-third of the population of the Otter Federation has formed a huge political appeal force.

Although it has so many members and has a lot of influence at the bottom, in the past these people have never had a proper opportunity to politicize their demands until now.

The excuse that the lycanthropes assisted the evil church in attacking the federal material train was a godsend opportunity, so the Anti-lycanthropy Association in Miltaros did everything possible to find all kinds of evidence, and then published the evidence in the media newspapers they controlled During this time, an anti-lycanthropy movement began in Miltaros, and quickly spread to the surrounding cities.

It's not that the high-level leaders of the Otter Federation are unaware of this anti-lycanthropy movement. Various departments under the government immediately monitored the initiators and organizations of this movement, but they did not take further measures to stop them. Allow this movement to spread throughout the Federation.

The reason why they didn't do anything to stop it was mainly because they didn't think that this campaign would have any adverse effects on the Otter Federation. All kinds of adverse consequences and other content make them think that such propaganda will make the federal people more agree with their counterattack against the church state.

Another reason is that many of them want to change those preferential policies that tend to be lycanthropists but are useless, just because they are some so-called decent politicians. Some words and some things cannot be done directly. out, and this anti-lycanthropy movement is a good indirect method, and it is also testing the attitude of the people. If the response from the people is as they expected, then they must have follow-up actions.

It's just that, for the top government officials, winning this war of encirclement and suppression is the most important thing, and all the factors that will influence this war are the end point of their attention, such as Leo and Sylvia.

Before someone proposed to bring Leo and Sylvia to Miltaros, the Outer Federation had already paid enough attention to the two. Their protection and safety standards can be said to be the highest level among foreigners in the Federation, even More than the average MP.

However, the attack on the special train this time made them realize that they did not pay enough attention to the two. Obviously, the surrounding church countries paid more attention to the two, which also made them feel puzzled.

The moment the train arrived at the station, the identities of the assailants had already been investigated by the secret service security on the train. These lycanthropes were all secret departments under the Church of the Origin. This secret department had done many amazing things. As a matter of fact, the leaders or kings of many countries have died in their hands. Usually, their hands represent the death of the target, the success of the mission, and it also means that the target they are targeting is not an ordinary identity.

However, in the minds of the Otto Federation executives, both Leo and Sylvia are scholars who have mastered some science and technology, and have extraordinary capabilities in weapon research and development, but that's all, logically speaking, they are not qualified to let The Priest of Source would use their lycanthropist killers.

It was this kind of confusion that caused the Otter Federation to open its mind and connect with some unconfirmed rumors, such as Sylvia may be a princess of a certain royal family or a more important descendant, etc., because Only this kind of extremely noble and special person deserves so many lycanthropist killers sent by the Church of the Source.

Although this kind of news has not been confirmed by any means, the high-level officials of the Otter Federation believe this kind of statement, because some of them once asked Longanus, who seemed to be very familiar with Leo and Sylvia, about his The identities of the couple, while Longanus only replied that the identities were very special, which was regarded as some kind of hint.

Ever since, under the influence of this kind of thinking, the Otto Federation's reception specifications for Leo and Silvia are no longer divided according to the general important scholars and researchers, but according to the royal standards of other countries.

"Mr. Leo, Ms. Silvia, this is the room of the two of you. You lived here during the time you were in Miltaros," said a senior secretary who belonged to the prime minister's office as a receptionist. At the beginning, he took Leo and Silvia directly to the top floor of the Imperial Hotel, then lowered his posture as if speaking to his superiors, and said to the two: "If the two of you are not satisfied, we can arrange other independent arrangements. Dong's apartment."

"No need! It's fine now." Sylvia looked at the room, then looked at Leo, and then asked, "About researching secret weapons..."

The secretary quickly said: "I'm not in charge of that matter, and I don't know, but when you two see Mr. Longanus, ask him, maybe you can get definite information."

After speaking, he asked Leo and Sylvia what else they needed, and after hearing that there was no other need, he left the room and closed the door.

Leo and Sylvia walked to the balcony of the room, leaned on the railing, and looked out. The whole of Mirtaros was under their panoramic view.

As the capital of a country, Mirtaros looks a bit shabby. This kind of shabby is not because of the scale of buildings and the prosperity of the city, but because of its historical heritage.

Most of the capitals of other countries are built in some historical and cultural cities, and even church countries will create some miracles to show that this land is a blessed land and a promised land of the gods, etc.

However, Myrtaros was chosen as the capital of the Otter Federation simply because of a typo.

At that time, the Federation had already occupied most of the land, and it was almost certain that it was the owner of this land, so someone suggested that a place should be chosen as the capital, and then the establishment of the country should be discussed in the capital.

At that time, there were a total of four choices, all of which were well-known historical ancient cities in the Otter Federation, where many historical celebrities had lived, and the geographical environment was also very suitable.

Because the debate was unresolved, it was finally decided to elect the capital through public voting. Those who participated in the voting were all core members of the federal government and the army at that time, with a total of 745 votes, and Mirtaros was not included in the voting range at all.

Because the geographical location of Miltaros is very bad, it is on a high ground, surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world. During the war, it was used as a logistics city. Except for a high-level person from Miltaros, no one else Considered making the city the capital.

It's just that, for some reason, when preparing the ballot box, the person who wrote the name of the city to the ballot box inadvertently spelled the name of one of the cities wrong, and the name after the misspelling was Mirtaros.

At that time, not only did the person who wrote it fail to react, but even the people who checked and voted later found nothing abnormal, and still regarded the misspelled name as another candidate city.

After a solemn oath, 745 people put their votes into the ballot box of Xinyi City.

Knowing that the votes were about to be cast, careful people discovered that the name of one of the ballot boxes was spelled wrong, but at this time the previous vote had already been completed, and because of the oath, the vote could not be invalidated, so we had to set another ballot box. A ballot box for the rest of the people to vote in.

As a result, this approach not only failed to recover from this mistake, but because everyone hoped to pull back this farce through their own votes, the votes that were originally planned to vote in other boxes were also put into the new box, which was lowered in disguise. votes for other candidate cities.

After the final count of the votes, Miltaros became the capital of the Otter Federation by only two votes.

At that time, some people wanted to overturn the voting results, but they were suppressed on the grounds of an oath. In the end, the Otter Federation did not rewrite the results and still established Mirtaros as the capital.

Because this incident was so unbelievable and absurd, it was considered to be a conspiracy, and the promoter of the conspiracy was the owner of the Imperial Hotel at that time, because he was the largest landowner in Miltaros. Land has become the richest man in the Otter Federation, and it still is.

This also made many people laugh that the only ancient thing in the capital of the Otter Federation is the Imperial Hotel.

This sentence is not wrong, because the Imperial Hotel is indeed the oldest hotel in the Outer Federation. It existed before the establishment of the Outer Federation. This hotel has also written a strong stroke in the history of the Outer Federation.

At that time, the founding committee of the Otter Federation lived in the Imperial Hotel, and most of the meetings were held in the Imperial Hotel, and the first draft of the Federal Constitution was formulated and signed here, and the original draft has been placed in the Imperial Hotel. In the middle of the main hall of the hotel, the draft manuscript placed in the National Museum is just a copy

In the past so many years, the Imperial Hotel has undergone 17 facelifts and renovations. Now the 87-story Imperial Hotel building was completed five years ago. This is also the tallest building in the Outer Federation. Standing in the building At the top, you can overlook the entire Miltaros, and Leo and Silvia are now living in the topmost suite. This floor suite is usually reserved for leaders of other countries. Leo and Silvia are placed here. The high specification has reached the top.

"Why do you think they have such an attitude? I feel something is wrong." Leo didn't know what the high-level executives of the Otter Federation thought. He just felt that something was abnormal from the attitude of the receptionist.

Sylvia guessed: "Could it be that they know that we solved those lycanthropes?"

Leo shook his head and said: "Impossible, the memory altered by your ability and my witchcraft can't be restored, and the attitudes of those people have also changed before we arrived. There are reasons we don’t know about.”

"What is the reason?" Sylvia also asked with some doubts.

Leo shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, but after seeing Longanus, maybe we can know the reason."

For the next two days, Leo and Sylvia stayed in the hotel room. Sylvia was still training her control, while Leo studied the blood of the lycanthropy.
