The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It was completely within Leo's expectation that the medical school was taken back by various countries. When he was in France, he had already felt some restrictive measures against the medical school by the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France, but those measures were more serious at that time. It is still soft, such as using cooperation as an excuse to participate in some things of the medical school, and take the opportunity to take back part of the power that was given to the medical school in the past.

It's just that, like now, all countries are ruthless against the medical school almost at the same time, knocking down the medical school from the largest non-state force on the Vinylon Continent to the bottom, and judging from various signs, the governments of various countries seem to be They are not ready to stop here, and they seem to be planning to completely carve up the various resources accumulated by the medical school over the years, which can be seen from the fact that the governments of various countries have started to establish their own national medical schools and wantonly poach talents from the medical schools.

Leo didn't have a good feeling for the Velen School of Medicine, although several of his friends were members of the School of Medicine, and there were even some important members.

Because he can see that the current Vinylon School of Medicine is too huge, so huge that the dean of the medical school may not be able to control such a huge non-state force. There are many factions in the medical school, and the power struggle is extremely serious. This can be seen in the chaos of factions within the medical school.

In addition to the Miria plague and the medical school being supervised by various countries, which are the most sensational events in the past six months in Vinlen, there is another event that is also very sensational, but this event is not widely spread among the people, but in the academic world. The sensational level of this incident far outweighed the other two.

This incident is the expedition team hosted by the old man Rembrandt, who discovered a historic site in the depths of the wasteland. According to the information obtained from the research, the historical site appeared far longer than the earliest site found in Velen World, directly advancing the time of civilization. It has been pushed for more than 30,000 years, which is longer than the recorded history of Vinylon.

As soon as the news was received, the highest academies of various countries immediately formed a team and sent scholars to the Mozambique continent to participate in the excavation of the historic site.

However, compared to the highest academies in various countries, there are still some people who are faster. These people are adventurers and treasure hunters from all over the world. For them, the appearance of every historic site represents a lot of wealth, so now this In their eyes, the monuments of prehistoric civilizations are a completely open gold mine. What they have to do is to steal as many valuable things as possible from the monuments before the governments of various countries take action. Any of those things may cost them a lifetime No worries about food and clothing.

When referring to these adventurers and treasure hunters, the old seagull's face was not very good, obviously worried about the old man Rembrandt.

Before that, he had sent three batches of well-known adventurers and treasure hunters in Velen to the Mosang Continent. All of these adventurers were veterans, and it was not difficult to see from his experience that these people all had more than one life at hand. .

Although old man Rembrandt is sure to move around without protection, he is still worried about old man Rembrandt. For this reason, he even violated his own rules. After sending those people to the place, he secretly reported the whereabouts of these people Send it to Rembrandt old man through special channels, so that Rembrandt old man can make preparations.

When he heard this, Leo was not worried about Old Man Rembrandt. He knew the power behind Old Man Rembrandt better than Old Seagull, and he also knew that there must be a powerful supernatural force around Old Man Rembrandt. , as long as you don't encounter that kind of mythical existence, I believe that with the strength around the old man Rembrandt, you can safely get through any danger you encounter.

Leo was concerned about the ancient site discovered by the old man Rembrandt. Although he hadn't seen the appearance of the ancient site, he could faintly feel that the ancient site might have something to do with the Via people. To go to the mainland of Mozambique.

But in the end, Leo suppressed the impulse in his heart and decided to go to the port of Sete to rest for a period of time according to the original plan, and by the way to receive the property that should have been in his hands before, so he asked the old seagull: "Your supplies are over. In the future, can you take me to the port of Scitech? As for the boat fee, use this instead."

As he spoke, he directly took out a piece of high-energy substance from a psychic creature from his storage space. The normal state of this high-energy substance is in the shape of a ruby, and the color is very bright, which is much brighter than ordinary gemstones. better.

The old seagull wondered where the gemstone in Leo's hand came from, but instead of picking up the high-energy substance, he stood up and said with a smile, "Since you are Mr. Rembrandt's student, you can be regarded as My friend, my friend, there is no fare on my ship. So rest well! To-morrow you will reach Dorset."

After finishing speaking, the old seagull walked out, closed the door, and the sound of distant footsteps quickly disappeared from outside the partition.

Leo put the things back into the storage space, and then lay down on the bed, thinking about nothing, neither thinking about his own body, nor thinking about the monuments discovered by the old man Rembrandt. He completely emptied his mind and let himself fell into a deep sleep.

As usual, when Dorset Port just lit up that day, noisy noises appeared in the dock area, and the boats fishing for night fish slowly sailed into their specific docks at this time, and carried boxes of fish on board to In the warehouse built on the pier, they trade directly with the fish merchants who have been waiting here for a long time. Various quotations are heard one after another in the warehouse, which is very lively.

Buffalo is the person in charge of this fishing pier. Every morning, he will patrol the fishing pier he manages like a lord patrolling his territory. Although he does not need to do this kind of thing himself, he only needs to order his subordinates to do it. It's ok, but he still does it every day rain or shine.

This is not because he loves his job so much, nor is it because he has a sense of responsibility, but because he enjoys the awe-inspiring eyes of those fishing boat owners looking at him. little ones.

Although, as the person in charge of the fishing terminal, besides the fixed salary given to him by the city government, he also has a percentage of the income of the terminal every month, so he can be regarded as one of the richest people in Dorset Port, but The bottom kind.

However, recently he has had a lot of money to spend, mainly because he has received news that the pier owned by the old hairtail fish is about to elect a person in charge.

The old hairtail is an old man in the dock area of ​​Dorset Port. He has been working here when there were only three cargo terminals in the dock area. He took over the management rights of the most valuable cargo terminal in the dock area, and also took charge of the warehouses in that area.

It is precisely because of the dock area as the foundation, coupled with the continuous financial support from the docks, that the old hairtail has gradually become one of the powerful figures in Dorset Port. Not long ago, he was even awarded the title of jazz. became a nobleman.

Perhaps because he had earned enough from the dock area, the old hairtail had the idea of ​​retiring not long ago, and he mentioned it in some public occasions, but at that time no one would have believed that the old hairtail would give up this gold mine. Soon the old hairtail submitted a retirement application to the city hall, and everyone realized that the old hairtail really wanted to retire, and also found out that the old hairtail had bought a manor in his hometown, and planned to take care of it there after retirement every day.

The retirement of the old hairtail caused some fluctuations in the upper echelons of Dorset Port, but the fluctuations subsided quickly. For those power figures in the upper echelons of Dorset Port, they just lost a capable man. The real big shock was After receiving the news, the low-level forces in Dorset Port all focused their attention on the area of ​​the large freight wharf controlled by the old hairtail fish. Everyone knows that as long as they control that wharf, the person in charge will be the new one. old hairtail.

Although Buffalo was not the first person to know the news, he was the first to respond. He quickly found some big people who could influence the final decision, and through the favors and large sums of money left behind Gaining some advantages, he has received news that his name has been included in the list of candidates.

It's just that even though he has taken the lead, he is not without competitors. In fact, some of his opponents are very strong, so he has to be careful.

For example, Cass Langton, the owner of the Langton Hotel, although Cass Langton is a hotel owner on the surface, secretly he is one of the leaders of the gangsters in the Port of Sete. Through the hotel, he wooed some city officials , allowing him to have extraordinary power in Port of Sete.

However, no matter how powerful he is, he is still just a hotel owner and gang leader, and he is still far away from being a real powerful person. Now that there is an opportunity for him to be promoted to the ranks of powerful people, he will naturally not let it go.

Although it had been a long time since Cass Langton received the news, he made a strong effort, and by winning the support of officials, he also caught up with the last train on the candidate list.

In addition, there is another formidable enemy, Jim Langton, the wharf tax officer. Jim Langton's work experience and ability are not to be feared, but he has a very strong identity background. member.

Although the Langton family has no right to speak in the dock area, it is one of the powerful families in the port of Dorset after all, and it still has some influence. Since Jim Langton was included in the list of candidates without warning, it has It can be seen.

For the wily and calculating Buffalo, both Cass Langdon and Jim Langdon are easy to deal with, and he has already prepared ways to deal with them.

In fact, the method is also very simple. For example, Cass Langton's gangster background is his most fatal weakness. As long as some gang fights are triggered at a certain time, one can imagine what the dignitaries in Port of Sete will think.

As for Jim Langton, it was easier to deal with. The Langton family was indeed one of the noble families in Port of Dorset, but the Langdon family was not the only noble family in Port of Dorset.

According to some gossip, the Langton family's forceful move to include their own family members on the candidate list has caused dissatisfaction among other families in Port of Dorset.

The dock area is the core area of ​​Dorset Port. In order to compete for the control of the dock area, various families fought fiercely, causing some unnecessary casualties. In the end, no one gained control of the dock area, but defaulted the dock area Le neutral zone, managed by people who don't belong to any family.

The Langton family has already crossed the default bottom line by stuffing family members into the post of tax officer at the dock, but the Langton family is well prepared and has the support of the vast majority of people, plus a tax officer at the dock , this kind of small position will not have a big impact on the dock area at all, so let this matter pass.

But now the Langton family actually wants to push their family members to the positions of managers of the large freight dock area, which is almost equivalent to the Langton family's plan to control the entire dock area. unwilling to see.

In recent years, the power of the Langton family in Port of Dorset has expanded rapidly, and it is almost close to the first family of Port of Dorset. If he is allowed to gain control of the dock area, then the power of the Langton family in Port of Dorset It will expand to the point where no one can control it.

Anyone with a little brain can see this, so Jim Langton is the least likely person to get that position, but in order to ensure that there will be no accidents, he has prepared a big job for Jim Langton No matter whether Jim Langton ate the big meal or not, he would be kicked out.

Cass Langdon and Jim Langton may be the people who can most threaten Daubaver in terms of background strength, but they are not the two opponents that Balver is most worried about. He thinks that the most threatening to him is the dock warehouse management by Jason.

As far as the background is concerned, Jason is the most inconspicuous of all the candidates. He comes from a humble background and doesn't even have a surname.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a person to become the manager of the warehouse in the dock area, but this kind of incredible thing just happened, and what makes Buffalo unexpected is that Jason actually formed some kind of dock porters union, which will The porters at the dock gathered together, forming a huge force, a force that even the gangsters in the city would not dare to provoke.

Because Jason appeared so strangely, Buff, like other curious people, also tried to inquire about some news, only then did he find out that Jason had a relationship with Dr. Nelson Matthews and Catherine Nightingale Women are good friends, and they're the kind of good friends who go to each other's houses for dinner on holidays.

Dr. Nelson Matthew is nothing. Although he is a member of the municipal council, he is basically not in charge of specific matters. He just acts as an observer of the council and has limited influence on the large cargo terminal.

But Ms. Catherine Nightingale is different. Known as Lady Lantern, she has an extraordinary reputation in Port of Sete and even in the entire Kingdom of England. At the invitation of the head of state and the king, specialized nursing colleges have been established in various countries, and their prestige far exceeds that of anyone in Port of Dorset. Even the dignitaries in Port of Dorset have to lower their posture when they see this lady.

If such a big man really supports someone to become the person in charge of the large cargo terminal, those dignitaries in Sorset Port will not object to this matter, but will take the initiative to help Jason in order to get closer to this lady. Get that position.

When Buffalo thought of this, his head began to ache.
