The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You're doing well!" Leo reached out and patted Jason's arm, looking at his exquisite gentleman's windbreaker and high-end watch, and said.

The spirit net scanned the other party, and I have to say that compared to Jason's situation a few years ago, it is indeed very good. The blood of the giant family in him has been stimulated to a certain extent, and the most direct manifestation is that his body has become taller and stronger.

"Haha!" Jason smirked twice, and then said to his wife who was following him, "Come on! Lisa, let me introduce you. This is the good comrade and brother I always say, Leo! "

"Hello, Leo." After Jason confirmed Leo's identity, Lisa dissipated the last trace of doubt in her heart. She obeyed her husband's order and greeted Leo with a friendly tone.

"Hello." Leo nodded, and then said to Jason, "I should live in Port of Sete for a while."

"This is really great, Nelson will be very happy," Jason was very sincerely happy for Leo's decision, and then he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, your two properties have always been Nelson and I are taking care of it, and now that you are back, I can exchange it with you." Then, he led Leo out, and said, "Go, go to your apartment first, you should and should want to go first. Freshen up, I can take advantage of this time to find Nelson and tell him the news of your return."

Leo didn't object, and followed Jason out of the office, outside the hotel, boarded a special carriage, and drove towards the city.

On the way, Jason talked about the encounters and past events of these years, while Leo listened and looked at the scene of Port of Sete outside, recalling the previous memories.

In Leo Dodd's memory, Port of Dorset has a very deep impression, because this is the first big city he saw, even if the memories of the past have become memory fragments, the memories related to Port of Dorset Still very deep.

If he hadn't joined the army, Leo Dodd would probably never have left his hometown, a barren village in the interior of the Kingdom of England, to take over his father's blacksmith shop and make some farm tools and other daily iron for the villagers. Marry a woman from the village and live this life.

However, Leo Dodd finally chose to go out, walked out of the village with an extremely cheap method, and saw the outside world, and the first big city he saw was Port of Sete.

Leo's troops went to the battlefield immediately after some training. Originally, the troops were going to leave from the exclusive military port, but there were not enough military ships at that time, so some civilian ships were requisitioned, and some troops took ships from other port cities. Leo left, and Leo's troops were assigned to Port of Sete, and were even lucky enough to stay here for two days, allowing Leo to be able to visit the city.

In Leo's current memory, he clearly remembers the scene when he and his comrades visited the port of Scitech, and even remembered the oaths they made bragging with each other. It has to be said that the oath made at that time had a real estate in the port of Scitech , becoming a city resident, is now considered complete.

Just like other emerging big cities on the Velen Continent, the urban architecture of Sete Port is also changing rapidly. Old buildings are demolished every day, and more gorgeous new buildings are rebuilt every day.

Although Port of Dorset is one of the earliest port cities in the Kingdom of England and has a history of hundreds of years, with that tsunami and dungeon, the old buildings in Port of Dorset were almost completely destroyed. All of them were also turned into ruins, which made the reconstructed Port of Scitech full of all kinds of trendy buildings like a new city, without the slightest feeling of an ancient city.

For the city builders of Port of Dorset, they may also be grateful for the tsunami at the beginning, because the old Port of Dorset was built without any urban planning, and the entire city was built in a very chaotic, very dirty, without any traces. The pattern of the big city.

For example, for the sake of convenience in the old town, all the towns were built around the wharf area, and they were mixed with each other. In addition, there was no sewer, and all kinds of sewage flowed everywhere, and the smell filled the whole town. The most popular commodity in Hong Kong is perfume.

However, the earthquake and tsunami completely destroyed the entire city, and the Port of Dorset became a blank canvas on which city architects could freely draw scenery.

It's just that the original city builders obviously didn't expect that the French Empire would split, that the Velen Continent would fall into all kinds of chaos, and that a large number of refugees and refugees would flood into the Port of Sete. Inside, it has expanded several times, so the land reserved for urban expansion has already been fully occupied. If it continues to expand, it will be built on the surrounding mountains.

For this reason, the rich and powerful in the city now have to think of other methods, such as starting from urban architecture, using the high-rise construction method passed down from the Kingdom of America to increase the height of some two- or three-story apartments to more than ten floors, and reduce the size of the rooms. , rent it out to ordinary people at a low price, and then cancel all the parks built in the slums and transform them into houses, and even relocate workers’ families to factory areas, build workers’ exclusive residential houses and commercial streets, and reduce workers’ income. The probability of the city makes the city less crowded.

However, even in the face of the influx of refugees on the Vinylon Continent, the various measures taken by Port of Sorce still have not had much effect, just like on the main road of the city to the apartment in the business district, there are some people waiting to recruit workers everywhere on both sides of the road. Refugees, the originally spacious road was also blocked by the crowded flow of people. The carriage stopped six or seven times in a short period of time, and the time it stayed in place was even several times the driving time.

"They are all poor people." Perhaps seeing Leo's eyes lingering on those refugees for a while, Jason took the initiative to say: "The city council is considering stopping accepting these refugees, and there is a proposal to send them to Go to the mainland of Mosang. Ms. Anne and Adeline are contacting the lord of Carlin County to ask him to take in these refugees. You also know that Carlin County is full of swamps and wastelands. No one in the Kingdom of England is willing to open up wasteland. Now there are The words of some refugees can just help the Kingdom of England to have a piece of usable land, and it can also alleviate this refugee wave."

"Ms. Annie, are they also in Port of Sete?" Leo asked.

"Yes." Jason nodded, and said, "Ms. Annie left the Velen Continent after the city of Miria was bombed, and they now live in the Garden District. The household is under the name of Ms. Anne. Ms. Anne and Adeline are also serving in the Nursing College in Catherine."

Leo noticed other information revealed in Jason's words, and asked, "What happened to the medical school in the Kingdom of England?"

"The Kingdom Council believes that the Great Plague in Miria City is related to the Medical School, and has listed the Medical School as a list of organizations that need to be monitored, and confiscated all the facilities and industries of the Medical School in the Kingdom of England." Jason said on his face. He also showed a serious expression, and said: "I heard that there are some weird things found in some medical school facilities, and there are many corpses. There is evidence that these corpses are some homeless people who disappeared in the past. Anyway, the medical school is now in the UK. The Kingdom of England has become notorious, and Ms. Anne has also quit the medical school, and is preparing to discuss with the Kingdom government to establish a local medical school in the Kingdom of England."

"It seems that Ms. Annie's ambition is not small!" Leo said with a smile.

There is no doubt that if the Kingdom of England Medical College is really established, with Ms. Anne's reputation and her efforts to promote this matter, the first president of the Kingdom's Medical College is naturally none other than Anne.

However, in Leo's opinion, the chances of success in this matter may not be great, because there is already a medical research association within the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of England. Although this medical research association is only a secondary society of the Royal Academy, there are not many members. But the members here are all doctors trained in the Kingdom of England. With the exclusiveness of the Kingdom of England, they certainly don't want an outsider to establish the Kingdom Medical College, and then an outsider becomes the dean.

Therefore, it is most likely to reorganize this medical research society and gradually turn this small academic college society into the Kingdom Medical College.

After passing through three squares, a large number of patrolmen began to appear on the road, and the number of refugees around them also began to decrease. After passing through a temporary wall, the refugees completely disappeared from the street, and the surrounding houses were no longer a dozen floors. Instead of tall buildings, it has become the most common red brick apartment in the Kingdom of England, and under each apartment is a shop, and many well-dressed people come and go in and out of the shop. This kind of scene is different from hundreds of meters The appearance is in stark contrast.

Jason explained at this time: "This is a temporary arrangement made by the municipal council to divide the commercial area into two parts and restrict refugees from entering the commercial area, municipal area, garden area and other urban areas. Any refugees who enter here without a pass will be If they were arrested immediately, they would either be deported back to the Velen Continent, or sent to mines for mining. This was also a measure of last resort, because the public security in the city was extremely bad when the refugee wave was at its most chaotic, and there were even municipal Members of Parliament were robbed by refugees, so apart from those black-hearted factory owners who like to hire people at low prices, these refugees are not favored by the residents of Port Sorre.”

"Why didn't they return to the Velen Continent?" Leo frowned and asked, "As far as I know, the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France have temporarily ceased fighting, and it should be better for them to return to the Velen Continent than it is now. "

Jason shook his head and said: "You also said that it is a temporary truce, who can guarantee that the war will not happen again in a short time, they must be thinking that if they return to Velen and the war starts again, then they are thinking It’s going to be hard to leave.”

Leo looked at Jason in surprise, and said with a smile: "Jason, you have changed a lot these years, if you were before, you wouldn't be able to say these words."

Jason smiled and wanted to scratch his head habitually, but he seemed to think of something, and immediately put his hand down, and said: "Lisa said that since a man has a family, he must mature, you need to think about it , Don’t try to solve everything with your fists like before.”

Seeing that Jason was able to find a suitable partner, Leo was also happy for his friend.

After a half circle around a square, the carriage turned into an alley, and then stopped in front of a small apartment building behind a street-facing shop.

After Jason got off the carriage, he motioned to Leo to wait a moment, and then walked into the front shop. After a while, a well-dressed old man followed Jason out of the shop, and when he came to Leo, he He saluted Leo and said, "Welcome home sir, I am your housekeeper, Baroque Sanjes."

"Hello. Sanchez." Leo nodded.

Then the old man took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, walked to the front of the apartment building, opened the door, and led Leo and Jason in.

After entering the room, the old man directly led the two of them to the study room, then took out some documents from a hidden safe in the study room, put them on the tea table in front of Leo, and said very formally to Leo: "These documents are all yours. The recent status of the property under your name, the income over the years, and some legal documents, you can sign these documents directly if there is no problem after reading them, and these legal documents will take effect immediately."

"Don't I only have an apartment and an office building?" Leo picked up the file and looked at it, and asked suspiciously.

"Nelson and I felt that the office building was empty, so we decided to rent it out for you. Then we bought a few shops with the rent, invested in some real estate, and gained some income over the years." Jason explained Dao: "In addition, this apartment actually includes the shop in front of it. The shop in front of it is a high-end watch shop. Nelson and I felt it was a pity to close it, so we let it continue to operate. Sanjies was hired by us to help you manage the property The housekeeper, he is very responsible."

"Well, thank you!" Leo nodded, didn't say much, just quickly looked through the documents in his hand, then picked up the pen on the coffee table and signed his name on the back of several legal documents, and signed all the documents After closing it, I handed it to Sanjies and said, "You have managed very well in the past few years, and your salary will double in the future. I hope you can continue to manage these properties for me."

"Okay sir." Sanjays did not show too much joy at the doubling of his salary, he still looked calm, as if he was not the one who raised the salary, and then he gave some of the keys including the safe Putting them on the table, these keys all indicated what lock to open, and then asked Leo and Jason if they needed something to drink, then walked out of the room and closed the door gently.

"How is it? Not bad!" Jason said with a smile: "This is the butler that Nelson and I hired specially for you. He used to be the butler of the Duke of Buckingham and assisted the Duke of Buckingham in managing some properties, so your little ones The property is very simple in his hands, to be honest, if it wasn't for the butler specially selected for you, maybe I would have poached him away with a lot of money."

Leo didn't care about Jason's envy, but cared about another thing, and asked, "Why did he leave the Duke of Buckingham?"
