The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Boss, there is a ship requesting to dock at our pier." When Buffalo finished his inspection of the pier and was about to leave, a man who was in charge of docking ships at the pier hurried over, wiped his sweat, and reported.

Buffalo frowned when he heard his subordinates addressing him. He preferred his subordinates to address him as an adult. Unfortunately, his subordinates were all rough people on the pier. In the first two days, he might still call him according to the rules, but After a while, it will be changed to the name they are used to.

"Let him dock if there is a space for the ship, and ask me about this matter." Buffalo said slightly displeased.

That subordinate keenly sensed the emotions of his immediate superior, shrank his neck, and said cautiously: "It's just that he's not a fishing boat."

"Not a fishing boat?" Buffalo had a puzzled look on his face.

Since the municipal council has standardized the rules for docking ships in the dock area, all types of ships can no longer dock randomly. Fishing boats can only dock at the fishing dock, cargo ships can only dock at the cargo dock, and cruise ships can only dock at the Passenger terminals and so on, although everyone is not used to it at the beginning, but as time goes by, everyone has seen the efficiency and convenience of management of the entire terminal after this standardized ship docks, and gradually got used to this kind of ship docked mode.

"Let him go to the cruise ship dock." Buff said impatiently.

The subordinate hurriedly added: "That's the old Seagull's boat."

"Old Seagull?" Baffle couldn't help hesitating when he heard this strange name, but soon he thought of the person related to this name, and couldn't help but confirm: "Is it Bokadi's Old Seagull?"

The subordinate nodded quickly.

For everyone who lives by the sea, the old seagull in Bocardi is a living legend. For the people in Port of Dorset, the old seagull represents another meaning. He can be said to be the representative of the entire Port of Dorset. benefactor.

More than ten years ago, the old seagull discovered a submarine volcano erupting in a sea area off the coast of Sete Port. According to his experience, this submarine volcano was very large and the eruption was powerful enough to cause an earthquake and a tsunami, so he immediately drove The ship rushed to the nearest port of Dorset and informed the people in Dorset to take refuge in a high place.

At first, the people in Port of Dorset didn’t believe the old seagull’s reminder, but the old seagull pledged his life, and there were important figures in the city council who were old seagull’s friends who were willing to stand up to guarantee this matter, so the city hall was ordered to go down. Determined to mobilize the citizens, he hid on a high mountain outside the city.

In the end, the earthquake and tsunami came as expected. Except for those who did not believe that there would be a tsunami and those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and chose to stay in the city, the rest of the people hiding in high places were within 20 meters. survived the tsunami.

Also because of this reason, the old seagull has an extraordinary prestige and status in Dorset Port. Even after more than ten years, his prestige has not weakened. After all, the survivors of that disaster are still alive, and all of them He has become a major figure in various industries in Dorset Port.

Thinking of this, Barver suddenly had an idea. Since Jason has Lady Lantern to help him out, he can also find a powerful person to act as his backer. Old Seagull is the best choice, regardless of status or prestige, Old Seagull far surpassed Lady Lantern in Dorset.

However, what makes him feel embarrassed is that he has nothing to do with the old seagull, and if he asks rashly, he may only return in vain.

"You don't need the old seagull to help me, as long as people think that I have a good relationship with the old seagull." Bafo suddenly thought of a good way, so he immediately ordered to his subordinates: "You immediately dock the old seagull's boat. At Dock No. 5, Old Seagull will satisfy all demands."

After finishing speaking, he immediately boarded the carriage and ordered the driver to take him to the nearest photo studio immediately. The way he thought of was to find an opportunity to get close to the old seagull, and then use the latest camera to take a group photo of the two of them. People feel that the relationship between the two of them is very close.

Anyway, with the usual management, the old seagull will only resupply the house at the port at most, and then leave the Port of Scitech. He does not know when he will come back next time. By then, he will have become the supervisor of the large cargo terminal. Even if it is revealed, he will not be removed from his post.

On the other side, the old seagull didn't know that he would be used by someone. He was directing the controller ship under his command, following the guide ship into the dock of the port, and looked at Leo at the side from time to time.

Leo said to the old seagull: "When you hear the news over there, send someone directly to the address I told you. If I am in Port of Sete, I should live there for a long time."

"Well, after I finish the supplies here, I will go to the Mosang Continent." The old seagull nodded and replied.

Just now, Leo and Old Seagull mentioned Old Man Rembrandt, and asked Old Seagull to find a chance to inquire about Old Man Rembrandt's news. Old Seagull happened to have a similar idea, so he readily agreed.

The address Leo left for the old seagull was several properties he had exchanged for the sea god's scepter.

As the ship slowly approached the shore, Leo jumped directly from the ship onto the pier without waiting for the deck aisle to be lowered. The down-to-earth feeling made him feel more relaxed, and then he waved to the old seagull on the deck , walking towards the urban area of ​​Scitech Port, when walking to the entrance and exit of the Fishing Wharf area, just passing by the carriage carrying Buffalo and the photographer.

Back then, Leo exchanged the Poseidon scepter for four properties, a jazz title and some cash. Among them, the villa in the garden area and the jazz title Leo gave them to Dr. Nelson, while the warehouse in the dock area was given to Jay Mori.

He only left the apartment in the municipal area and the office building in the commercial area. According to the information he got, these two properties are now managed by Nelson, and the properties are still in his name.

It's just that he didn't go to his real estate in the city right away. After all, before knowing his identity, the people who managed the real estate arranged by Nelson would definitely not let him, a stranger who claimed to be the owner of the real estate, move in.

After he left the fishing pier, he went directly to the warehouse he gave to Jason, because he learned from the conversation with the old seagull that after Jason took over the warehouse, he didn't manage it well at all. What a profit. So he rented out the warehouse, and the person who rented the warehouse did not use the warehouse to store goods as usual, but transformed it into a tavern for the bottom sailors, porters and fishermen in the dock area.

Now the proprietress of this tavern has become Mrs. Jason, and Jason also took advantage of the convenience of this tavern to attract a large number of porters on the pier, and became a porter's union, becoming a person with moderate power. .

Because it was early in the morning, when Leo came to the tavern, the tavern was very deserted. Except for a few drunks who had been drinking all night lying on chairs, there were no other guests in the tavern. Only a few guys were cleaning.

After seeing Leo coming in, one of the waiters put down the tools in his hand, wiped his hands, walked up to Leo, and asked: "Sorry, sir, the tavern is not open yet, if you want to drink, you can later..."

"I'm looking for your boss, Jason." Leo interrupted the waiter and said.

"Ah? Looking for the boss." Hearing what Leo said, the waiter immediately became vigilant, and deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of others, and then said coldly: "What do you want to do with our boss? "

Seeing the waiter's strange attitude, Leo quickly thought that Jason might have encountered some trouble, otherwise, the waiter in the tavern would not have changed his attitude so much.

Leo did not reveal his identity immediately, but said to the waiter ambiguously: "Can the waiter also decide for the boss now? Or is it the rule of Port of Sorset that people need to obtain the consent of the waiter before they can See the boss?"

"Of course other people don't need it, but you bastard gangsters do." Obviously, Leo's deliberate attitude misunderstood the waiter, causing him to raise his volume again, and everyone around heard the word gangster Afterwards, their complexions changed in an instant, and each of them showed fierce expressions. They each took two wine bottles that hadn't been cleaned up. It seemed that they were ready to have a close contact between the wine bottle and Leo's head at any time.

Leo didn't pay attention to the attitudes of the waiters around him. He was interested in the gangsters that the waiters said. According to the logic, Jason is now the president of the porters union, and there is no shortage of manpower under his command. With Nelson's help, and Catherine Nightingale's reputation, it's too late for ordinary gangsters to avoid him, so why would gangsters trouble him?

"What are you doing? Why are you holding wine bottles?" At this time, a woman's voice sounded in the tavern, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a tall, plump woman standing at the door of the tavern leading two of her subordinates. It was obvious that anyone who opened their eyes would not ignore the tense atmosphere in the tavern.

"Sister, this guy is looking for the boss." A waiter who was close to the beautiful woman immediately explained.

The beautiful woman frowned, looked up and down at Leo, with a little doubt in her eyes, then turned her gaze around Leo, turned to the other waiters, and said: "Go to work, it's not your turn to meddle in this matter."

Hearing the proprietress's order, the waiter in the hotel was a little unwilling, but he still obeyed the order and put down the bottle in his hand, and went back to what he had done before, but glanced at Leo from time to time, ready to do anything.

The beautiful woman walked to the bar and gestured to the bartender inside the bar. The bartender immediately poured her a glass of wine. She didn't drink it, but slid her finger on the rim of the glass, making a little noise, and then turned to Leo. Said: "I don't care what your leader thinks, you go back and tell your leader that my husband will not withdraw from the candidate list for the manager of the large freight wharf. , when the time comes to really make a big fuss, I don’t believe that your leader’s hotel can still be opened in Port of Sete.”

Hearing what the beautiful woman said, Leo already understood the situation, he smiled, without further ambiguity, and said, "I am not a member of the gangsters that you think."

"Aren't you a member of the gang?" The beautiful woman was stunned for a while, then turned her head to look at the waiters, as if she was asking the waiters why.

The waiters were also stunned, and they all looked at the waiter who had talked with Leo before. He only mentioned that he wanted to see his boss, and everything else was conjectured by his self-righteousness, and his face suddenly changed, becoming embarrassed.

Seeing the expression of her waiter, Yan Fu didn't know that she had made a big joke, which made her glared at the waiter fiercely, and then acted as if nothing happened just now As it happened, he smiled at Leo and said, "What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

"I'm looking for your husband Jason." Leo replied calmly.

Just like the waiter just now, the beautiful woman also showed a slight sense of vigilance and asked, "May I ask what you want from him?"

"My name is Leo Dodd, and I'm your husband's comrade-in-arms and friend." Leo said his name.

Hearing Leo's self-introduction, the beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up from the chair, walked up to Leo, looked at Leo carefully, and confirmed, "You are Mr. Leo Dodd?"

Leo reported a series of numbers, which were the number of his unit and his soldier number. Unless someone can get the military documents, it is impossible for anyone else to tell this series of numbers.

As Jason's wife, Yan Fu naturally heard her husband mention being in the army more than once, and she was no stranger to Leo's soldier number and troop number, so she quickly confirmed that the number was correct, and more importantly, Leo Ou's appearance and figure are exactly the same as what Jason said. She had this feeling when she saw Leo before, and now she is sure that her feeling is right.

After confirming Leo's identity, the beautiful woman's attitude immediately changed and she became a lot closer. She reached out to Leo and introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Jason's wife Lisa Fran gram."

Leo shook Lisa's hand, and then asked directly: "What's the gangster you mentioned just now?"

"This is not a place to talk, go to my office!" Lisa looked at the other drunk guests around, and then gave instructions to the waiters at the side, telling them to find Jason, and she took Leo went to the office on the upper floor of the tavern.

Although Lisa already believed that the person in front of her was Leo Dodd, she still kept a little vigilance before getting her husband's confirmation, so when she went to the office, she also asked her subordinates to be in the office. Wait instead of being alone with Leo in the office.

Afterwards, she carefully explained the matter of Jason becoming a candidate for the manager of the large freight terminal, and mentioned the situation of other candidates, especially Cass Langton, a candidate with a gang background.
