The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the business district, there are many buildings that can be called landmark buildings, but for the local residents of Miria City, there is only one building that can represent the luxury and prosperity of the business district, and this building is the 200-story Xinghai hotel.

The designer of Xinghai Hotel is Belmiki, a famous designer of Vinylon. His design of the Megalica Sky Palace, the Mausoleum of Cleopatra of Savile and the Red Tower Square of Maris Kingdom are all classic cases of Vinylon architecture. object of imitation.

Ten years ago, Rupert Fitz, the owner of Xinghai Hotel, a great philanthropist, offered a sky-high price and invited Belmiki, who had been living in seclusion, to come out of the mountain again, designed and supervised the construction of this gorgeous hotel, and Belmiki also Because the construction of this hotel was exhausted, he died the next day after the completion of the hotel, which also made the hotel a legacy of Belmiki, adding a touch of mystery.

The entire hotel adopts an all-steel structure, and it uses the special steel of the Maris Kingdom. Even in a big steel-producing country like the Maris Kingdom, not many special steels are produced each year, and most of them are manufactured by the Maris Kingdom to manufacture steamships and steam airships. Back then, the Xinghai Hotel was able to obtain so many special steels. Pingang is completely Belmiki's face.

The exterior walls of Xinghai Hotel are the same as most of the high-end hotels now, they are all made of special glass, but the special glass of Xinghai Hotel is different. Fluorite exists and is rare.

This kind of fluorite can absorb a large amount of light and heat from the outside during the day, and it will be released at night, making the whole hotel seem to be surrounded by starlight, which is why the name of Xinghai Hotel comes from.

In addition, the interior decoration, furniture, etc. of the hotel are all extremely luxurious, so that there is a saying in Miria City, that is, if you can stay in the room of Xinghai Hotel for one night in your life, you will smile until you die leave.

However, the owner of Xinghai Hotel is now in the topmost and most expensive king suite of the hotel, standing in front of the huge French windows, overlooking the entire Miria City like a god, but there is no smile on his face.

Behind him, dozens of Miria dignitaries in all kinds of high-end clothes stood with their heads lowered like children being taught a lesson, waiting for the wrath of the master here.

After a long silence in the room, Rupert, with a dignified appearance, spoke to the officials of the Continental Congress whom he secretly funded, and asked, "I really want to know why the Congress passed the indictment so quickly? Why didn't you stop it?"

"Mr. Fitz, we stopped the meeting, but the meeting was presided over by the speaker himself, and the members at the meeting seemed to have discussed it. Before we could react, the indictment issue was passed, and there was nothing we could do." One of them The powerful stood up and explained for everyone.

If someone who is familiar with officials at all levels of the Continental Congress is in this room, he will definitely recognize that the dignitary who spoke is the Chief Magistrate of the Continental Congress. His duty is to supervise the order of the meeting and drive away any member of parliament he thinks disrupts the process of the meeting. And there is a monthly veto on the topic, and the weight of power is almost equal to that of the conference speaker.

"Why didn't you use your veto to veto the question?" Rupert turned his head and looked at the chief referee coldly, asking.

The chief referee explained: "If you want to exercise the right of veto, you must first submit a veto proposal. I have prepared the veto proposal before the meeting, but the folder where the proposal was placed at the meeting was stolen, and my assistant went to get it. Attacked on the way to back up the proposal, and ultimately failed to prevent the bill of indictment from passing."

A dignitary who is also an official of the Continental Congress argued: "This incident was premeditated. They first used the skeleton club to divert your attention, and then attacked suddenly to forcefully pass the agenda..."

"Enough! Since you made a mistake, don't justify yourself. Explaining your mistakes is just a sign of incompetence. You should think about how to make up for your mistakes and how to prevent them." Rupert scolded, interrupting the dignitary's defense, Said: "I can allow my people to make mistakes, but never allow incompetence."

As Rupert's voice fell, the room immediately fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make any more excuses.

"I hope that tomorrow's issue about the duke's special status, which is not suitable for appearing in court and can be replaced by others, can be passed smoothly. If you can't handle this matter well, then there is no need for you to sit down in this position. There are many People are willing to take your place." Rupert glanced at everyone coldly, turned his head and continued to look at the night scene of Miria City outside the window, and said, "You can leave now, go through the secret passage, I don't want to be in At this time, it was discovered that someone had something to do with you."

These dignitaries couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard Rupert's order. They were glad that today's test had passed smoothly, and they all bowed and retreated.

Just as the dignitaries exited the room and closed the door, ripples of light appeared in the air around Rupert, followed by a mysterious man covered by a burqa who appeared in that place and said to Rupert: "None of these guys are trustworthy, and you still entrust the matter to them, aren't you afraid of screwing up?"

"I never believed them," Rupert looked very calm, without the slightest bit of anger shown on his face, "The secret safe of Skull and Bones was opened, and the ledger inside was also taken away. They felt that those two people had taken the evidence, so they were of course very anxious. They don’t have the mood to do things now. They are afraid that they will immediately betray me when someone shows something related to the ledger in front of them. Change to a new owner."

"Aren't you worried?" the mysterious man asked curiously.

Rupert said with a blank face: "They are just pawns, the pawns that draw all the targets for me, and they are the things that will be eaten in the end. Why should you worry about them?"

"What a cruel guy!" The mysterious man didn't seem to be afraid of Rupert. After teasing a word, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you need me to help you get the ledger back? You should know that with my ability Absolutely can do it.”

Rupert turned his head and gave the mysterious man a cold look, and said, "Since when did your wizards' assembly house also become interested in this Game of Thrones?"

"It's all about advancing with the times!" the mysterious man smiled.

Rupert despised the other party unceremoniously, and said: "It's a pity that your reputation is too bad. Whoever cooperates with you will be unlucky." He said, before the other party got angry, he said: "All the guys in your assembly are in Lanxi. Something happened in Cage City, and it was expelled by Akenaya Church in Cage City. Although my people used the method of selling benefits to get the labor leaders of Cage City to suppress this matter, but according to your method of doing things Go on, something will happen sooner or later. I don't want to be distracted to help you clean up the mess while helping the Duke fight for the throne, so you should go to other countries for a while before you get results here."

"Are you trying to end our cooperation?" the mysterious man asked in a deep voice.

Rupert looked at the mysterious man calmly, and said in a cold tone: "If I want to end the cooperation, I won't talk to you like this, and I will drive you away directly."

The mysterious man didn't say anything more. He bowed slightly to Rupert and saluted, then turned around and walked towards the glass wall, and hit the wall directly. When the glass shattered, he didn't get into the glass at the same time, and then It disappeared, and the crack on the glass disappeared with him.

"A group of useless mice!" Seeing the magical ability displayed by the mysterious man, Rupert did not show any abnormal expression. Instead, he snorted coldly with great disdain, then picked up the bell on the coffee table next to him, and shook it.

After the crisp bell rang, someone knocked on the door of the room. After Rupert let in, a well-dressed butler came in, saluted Rupert, and asked, "Master, what do you want?" ?”

Rupert thought for a while and ordered: "Use the best invitation to invite all the dignitaries in the city who have the ability to influence the decision-making of the Continental Congress. I will hold a banquet at Silvermoon Castle tomorrow night. As for the arrangement of the banquet, you can decide it yourself. My only requirement is to satisfy all the guests present.”

"Okay, sir." The butler remembered Rupert's request and exited the room.

After there was only one person left in the room, Rupert turned around and went to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of wine. He took the glass and walked to the piano in the room, sat down and played a cheerful tune very skillfully.

From the music he played, it is not difficult to hear that he is in a very happy mood at the moment, and he is not affected by the current dire situation of Duke Dewen. The emperor of France didn't care.

In the hotel in Yushi District, Leo had eaten meat for three hours in a row. He barely chewed it with his teeth, and just swallowed it directly. Even so, his energy storage value had just broken through one hundred.

The people in the hotel have gradually become numb from surprise. Even though they feel that Leo's extraordinary appetite is not like a human being at all, but because of Leo's generous shots, they take the initiative to ignore these unusual things , do your own thing with peace of mind.

When Leo devoured the fiftieth delivery, he raised his hand to signal the waiting waiter to stop, and then took out fifty gold flan as a tip to the waiter and the kitchen. people.

After the waiter left, he closed the door, put on his coat and other clothes, put on his backpack, pressed the one hundred gold francs note under the ink bottle on the desk, opened the window facing the street, and jumped directly. left the hotel.

If it weren't for the shocking behavior of today, he wouldn't leave this pretty good hotel, and now he needs to find a suitable temporary residence again.

Before Leo left the Yushi District, he went to the black market first, and the old man was in charge of receiving him.

"I want to buy some Gamore language materials." Leo asked directly.

"There is no information." The old man shook his head, and then said, "But we can find someone to teach you."

"How much?" Leo asked.

"No money." The old man shook his head again and said, "Just help him go to a place and get something back."

Hearing such familiar conditions, Leo tried to confirm: "Couldn't the place you mentioned be No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

The old man nodded.

Leo frowned and asked, "Is he the only one in this world who understands Gamore language?"

"Gamore language is the special language of ancient wizards. It is said that the language contains the power comparable to the gods. Ordinary people will go crazy at a glance, and they will go crazy after hearing a word. Of course, these are just legends. You can just listen to it. Seriously." The old man smiled and explained: "But the Gamore language is very strange, it cannot be learned through written materials, and can only be learned through one-on-one teaching. There are many people in this world who hope to be able to crack The mystery of the Gamore language, but it has never been successful. Although we are not sure whether other people in this world know the Gamore language, but among the known people, only that gentleman has truly mastered it Gamore language."

When Leo heard this, his face became a little gloomy. No wonder the old man looked fearless.

After a moment of silence, Leo asked the old man: "I need detailed information on all the people who disappeared at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, including servants and servants, especially those from the dark world."

Hearing Leo's request, the old man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, told him to wait, then went to the counter, and told the person inside the counter about Leo's request, obviously it was the first time he heard such a thing Require.

After a while, the old man came back and said: "We can find the materials of these people, but in addition to the cost of the materials themselves, we need to pay an additional fee."

Leo looked a little displeased, and questioned: "Didn't you say that the information on No. 9 Golden Oak Street is free?"

"Yes, all the information on No. 9 Golden Oak Street is free." The old man smiled and said, "But it's not No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

"How much?"

"One million gold flanges." The old man reported a figure.

After Leo heard this, his glasses narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept over the old man, with suspicion in his eyes.

Only two days ago, I got one million gold flanges from the Skull and Bones, and now the black market is asking for one million for those materials. Such a coincidence made Leo wonder if the other party was deliberately using this to test him, to test him Was it the one who killed the president of Skull and Bones?

But after careful observation and the data analysis of the sub-brain system, he found that this incident was really just a coincidence, at least he couldn't see any traces of temptation from the old man in front of him.

After confirming that the other party was not a temptation, Leo began to think about whether to spend the million and whether it was worth it.

If it was before going to Skull and Bones, Leo would not have considered this question at all, and turned around and left, but now he has not only one wizard notebook written in Gamore language, but four, three of which It has been inherited in one continuous line, and there must be a complete inheritance, so the question of whether the million is worth it or not is not a question.

After thinking about it, Leo immediately made a decision: "I will pay for this fee, arrange a room for me, and I want to see the information immediately."
