The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Have you found the murderer?" Leo couldn't help being stunned after hearing what the city guard officer said.

It turned out that not long ago, the patrolling city guard found a suspicious person and was about to step forward to question him, but the man fled quickly, causing the city guard to hunt him down. Later, seeing that the capable person could not escape the pursuit in the labyrinthine alleys of the 23rd District, he directly injured the city guard guarding the bridge and fled to the 11th District. The city guard is cooperating with the city guard in the eleventh district to search the eleventh district.

This news made Leo feel a little surprised. He wanted to track down the murderer just now, but the murderer was accidentally discovered by the city guard as soon as he turned his head. It's a bit odd to see this.

Not to mention why the so-called suspicious person exposed himself and fled before the city guard stepped forward to question him. Even if he fled, he should have fled to the thirty-fifth district on the other side. Because there is an airship dock there, at least five airships dock there every day. With his ability to easily injure the bridge guards, it shouldn't be a big problem to snatch an airship. As long as he gets on the airship, he can Escaping from the urban area and fleeing to other lake towns, there is no need to hide in the city like now.

Leo, who was suspicious in his heart, pondered for a moment, couldn't help but smiled, and said in his heart: "This Marek is really cunning!"

Leo was sure that the so-called suspicious person was pretended by Marek, and he was following Leo's suggestion to keep the series of accidents caused by this murder away from him.

The reason why Marek chose the eleventh district as the hiding place for the pseudo-suspicious person was mainly because of the particularity of the eleventh district. Almost all the properties in District 11 have one or more nobles behind them. Without the permission of these nobles, the city guards would never dare to search these noble properties. And even if they were allowed, their search would not be very intensive, so even if there was a truly suspicious person, it would be almost impossible for the city guards to find out from District 11.

But now, because it was the city guard who discovered the suspicious person, and some low-level city guard officers were eager to make contributions, the Security Bureau took over the case from Marek's hands, which means that Marek completely freed from this case.

In addition, what happened to the heir of the Nowitzki family? With the eyesight of the nobles who are used to fighting openly and secretly every day, it is impossible not to see a clue. They just adhere to the tradition that does not exist without evidence, and they will not be concerned about it. to conduct any investigations.

But now because of the internal strife in your Nowitzki family, which has affected the interests of all nobles, this matter will inevitably encounter resistance from various nobles, and even the Nowitzki family will become the target of attack by some nobles. Although the Nowitzki family, as the second family, has strong strength, it cannot withstand the siege of the other eight lower-level noble families, so the Nowitzki family will definitely start to quell this matter.

In this way, the series of accidents caused by the death of the Nowitzki family heir will quickly subside, and Marek will not be punished even if he is discovered, but his cunning approach It might be appreciated by the nobles here, and maybe get some support.

However, while trying to understand this matter, another question popped up in Leo's mind, did Marek come up with this method?

It's not that Leo underestimated Marek's wisdom. From his short communication with Marek, he could see that Marek was a down-to-earth person who did practical things. As long as someone could give him a plan, he would It can be executed perfectly. But his wit was lacking, otherwise it would be impossible not to see the real cause of the nobleman's death, and he needed to be reminded by Leo to think about it.

What is happening now seems to be very simple. It is to pretend to be a person to attract the city guards and break into the eleventh district. But the person who made this plan must definitely consider the form of the eleventh district, the ideas of the nobles, and other details. Therefore, the wisdom and insights needed are definitely not possessed by Marek, the head of the Security Bureau who climbed up from the bottom.

"Peter Alcott!" The shadow of that thin young man suddenly appeared in Leo's mind.

After he had figured out what happened in District 11, Leo didn't think about it any more. With the Alcott family's relatives and friends card, he easily passed the bridges in the heavily guarded urban area. From District 11 to the flower shop in District 27.

When passing through the eleventh district, he looked at the city guards patrolling the streets and the shops and clubs in the city. Sure enough, as he expected, these city guards only dared to patrol the streets and did not dare As in other urban areas, enter and search the buildings of certain shops and clubs.

However, compared to the tight defenses when entering the Eleventh District from other urban areas, entering other urban areas from the Eleventh District obviously requires a lot of relaxation. It can even be said that there is no defense at all, just go directly.

It seems that the chief of the city guard who is responsible for the security of the eleventh district is also a little clever. He deliberately created such a gap in the strictness of the inspection. I am afraid that he wants to let the suspicious person who broke into the eleventh district leave the eleventh district. If the district commits a crime, he does not have any responsibility.

After entering the twenty-seventh district, one can easily see from the surrounding houses, paved streets, and the clothes of the passers-by on the road that the prosperity here far exceeds that of the twenty-third district.

In addition, in order to cater to the aristocrats who came here to play, the city supervisor also delineated some areas in the city and built some gardens to provide rest. Although there are no expensive flowers planted in these gardens, but some cheap plants that are suitable for growing here, as far as the infrastructure of the garden is concerned, among the nearly 100 urban districts in the outer city, only the eleventh district and the twenty-seventh district The district was established again, which also makes this urban area unique.

The flower shop that Leo is going to is easy to find. The largest and tallest building in the entire city is where the flower shop is located. This is the largest and most luxurious gold sales den in the twenty-seventh district. It has everything from accommodation to food, from fun to shopping. As long as you have money, you can buy all the products of the Silver Moon Lake Alliance here, even some contraband.

However, these are not the most obsessed things. What fascinates the most is the casino and entertainment in the flower shop. In the casino, there are hundreds of different gambling methods. Every day, some people get rich overnight, and some People went bankrupt overnight, and almost all the popular gambling methods in Ten Towns and Silvermoon City originated from this.

As for the happy place, it is a place where countless men and women are confused. You can find all kinds of men and women here, and even some wonderful species can be found here. And the mask night held every month is even more carnival celebration, many nobles will go off in person, and it is rumored that some wizards from the Silvermoon City Wizards Association can't help but come here to have fun.

The reputation of the flower shop in the 27th District is not only famous in Seventh Lake Town, but also in the entire Yinyue Lake Lake District Alliance. For the sake of face and status, the young nobles would book a suite here in the past, and if the status is not enough, even if they have money, they cannot book a room here for a long time.

The benefits of such a famous gold sales nest are naturally huge. Some good people have calculated that the daily revenue of the flower shop is probably the sum of the businesses in the other outer districts of Seventh Lake Town, and it is the same month. sum.

However, such a huge benefit is in front of everyone, but no one dares to touch it, because the people standing behind this gold selling den are not only the people from the Alcott family of Ten Towns, but even the members of the Wizards Association. All ten chiefs participated, even if it was just a name.

With such a strong background, no one would dare to accept even his own commercial tax, let alone causing trouble. Fortunately, the person in charge of the flower shop did not overdo it, and the tax he should pay did not decrease at all, and the tax he paid Most of the tax money in the city is used for the two institutions of city guards and guards, so some people jokingly call the city guards and guards employees of the flower shop.

Regarding what the outside world said, the city guards and guards in Seventh Lake Town did not think so much. They are very aware of the importance of flower shop taxation, so they also attach great importance to the security around the flower shop, and set up three cities around the flower shop. The guard and the three security bureaus are responsible for the security and cases in this area, which is enough to see how much they attach importance to it.

When Leo came to this very famous building around Yinyue Lake, he felt that this building was really familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and after the sub-brain analysis, he realized that this building was very similar to the old earth A building called the Pentagon in the era, but this building has a higher floor, with as many as twenty floors, and is the tallest building in Seventh Lake Town.

Because of the unique shape of this building, after entering the flower shop, Leo was not so surprised to see other items similar to the old earth era, such as those placed in the corridor aisle, those named slot machines The mechanical devices, such as the gambling methods in the casino on the first floor, are full of imprints of the old earth era.

Seeing this scene, Leo also faintly guessed who is the mysterious person behind the scenes in charge of the flower shop.

"I'm looking for Mr. Wizmir." Leo walked to the front reception and said to a female foreman with compound eyes.

"May I ask your name?" The female foreman saw that Leo was stunned, and quickly hid her instinctive aversion to skin color. She lowered her head slightly and found out Wizmir's name from the file on the desk. visitor registration board, asked.

"Leo Dodd."

The female foreman compared the names on the registration card, and then said to the waiters who couldn't hide their disgust at Leo's complexion, "Take this gentleman to room 159."

Under the leadership of this waiter who deliberately opened a distance, Leo passed through an aisle and stopped beside a simple and luxurious steam elevator. Once there, prepare to take the same elevator.

"The flower shop is getting worse and worse. Why do you let everyone in?" One of the gorgeously dressed nobles looked at Leo contemptuously, and moved two steps to the side, as if he was afraid that some germs would be infected if he got close. complained to his companion.

Leo turned his head to look at the nobleman, but said nothing.

Soon the elevator came down, the fence door was opened by the waiter, Leo walked in, and the movements of the nobles who were about to walk in also stopped, it seemed that they didn't plan to stay in the same room as Leo. Inside the narrow elevator.

Just after the waiter asked the nobles and knew that those nobles would not get on the elevator, the waiter closed the fence door and moved the lever to the scale of the fifteenth floor.

At the moment when the elevator was slowly rising, Leo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly cast the spirit technique skill on the nobleman who had broken his mouth just now, breaking down his mental defense and forcibly extracting a large amount of memory knowledge.

At the moment when the spirit was overwhelmed by the spiritism, the nobleman fainted instantly, and at the same time, the hidden ancestral state of the body began to manifest uncontrollably, and the gorgeous clothes were stretched by the rapidly expanding body. Even the spacious corridor was crowded with the enlarged body, and in the blink of an eye, the nobleman turned into a big wild boar with fangs and sharp teeth.

The nobleman's fainting and uncontrolled ancestral transformation naturally caused a lot of commotion. Leo, who was in the elevator, didn't know how the flower shop staff handled this matter, but he was shocked by spiritism. He can still estimate the damage caused, at least within a month, it is impossible for that nobleman to control his ancestral body.

Although the elevator had already ascended to the second floor when the aristocrat had an accident, the waiter in charge of leading the way faintly felt that the aristocrat’s accident might be related to the person with black skin disease beside him, which also made him My emotions became a lot more tense, and my body became stiffer a lot.

"Don't be nervous! I just don't like those nobles very much, and you probably don't like them either!" Leo's figure came out from behind the waiter and came out into his ears.

There seemed to be a kind of magical power in Leo's voice, which made the waiter who heard the resentment that had been squeezed for many years burst out, saying: "Those nobles are all damned, they are a group of greedy beasts, the most suitable The best way to deal with it is to send them to the table of the poor in the ghetto."

When the waiter said these words, he immediately felt unprecedented ease in his heart, but before he could feel this unprecedented ease of mind, the bell prompting the elevator to reach the designated floor took him from the relaxed state of mind. Pulling back from his mentality, his body instantly became stiff, and his face became extremely ugly. Only at this moment did he realize what he had just said.

"Don't be nervous! Only I know this, I won't say it." Leo reached out and patted the waiter's stiff shoulder, walked past him, entered the corridor, and then turned towards the stiff body behind him The waiter asked, "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

The waiter came out of the elevator with a gloomy face, lowered his head, and led Leo quickly to the room where Wizmir was. He knocked on the door for Leo, and waited for someone inside to ask. He bowed to Leo, then walked back as if fleeing, not daring to look up at Leo from the beginning to the end.
