The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Something's wrong!" Colin supported the tree trunk beside him to resist the strong dizziness in his body, and a sense of uneasiness also hit his heart.

Since he was transformed, although his physical fitness cannot be said to be extremely strong, it has far exceeded that of ordinary people. The most obvious feature is that he no longer suffers from diseases, and his body is also very resistant to various toxins. He had tried all kinds of known poisons, and in the end only one poison could make him feel slightly uncomfortable, but the dizziness he felt now was absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.

At the moment of suspicion in his heart, he immediately thought of the wine the hunter gave him just now, so he looked towards the hunter behind him in some surprise, and at the same time instinctively touched the weapon in his arms.

"That's not good, Mr. Colin! It's not a good choice to use a weapon." When Colin saw the hunter's calm face, the hunter's hand also pressed Colin's hand that moved towards the weapon, and another With one hand, he took out the special mechanical crossbow from Colin's arms, skillfully opened the hidden safety buckle on it, shook his head, and said to Colin: "The penetrator seven-type mechanical crossbow produced by the Imperial Britt Factory, This is indeed a good thing. It has a record of penetrating armor plates. It is also the machine crossbow with the strongest penetrating power in the entire empire. It contains the highest machine crossbow technology in the empire. It's a pity that such a good thing was mastered by you, Mr. Colin , Judging from its appearance, it should not have been used yet!"

Colin has no ability to resist at this moment, and can only sit on the ground, trying to keep his sanity as clear as possible.

"Mr. Colin, don't worry, I'm not your enemy, and the poison I gave you is not a deadly poison, it's just a special drug for people like you. Its function is to make you lose your strength temporarily. It's convenient for me to catch you, after all, I'm just an ordinary person, no matter my physical strength or other strength, I can't compare with a mutant like you." The hunter squatted down, looked at Colin who was trying to stay awake, and said: " Forgot to introduce myself, Agent Mourning of the Sardinian Branch of the Seventh Security Bureau, although we belong to different departments, if we count according to our authority, I should be your subordinate."

When the hunter mentioned the seventh game, Colin immediately felt bad, because it was rumored that the seventh game was specially set up for the Special Operations Department, and its function was to monitor and arrest the traitors of the Special Operations Department.

"I... I... am not... a traitor!" Colin tried to defend himself with a somewhat uncontrollable mouth.

"I'm sorry, whether you are a traitor or not, I don't care. Only the higher-ups will know. My mission is to arrest you when you appear abnormal, and then send you to the right place." The hunter shrugged , made a helpless expression, and then smiled again: "However, I think even if you are not a traitor, I am afraid you will have no chance to come out. Because of your fault, the special operations department in Cambay Town has lost all its manpower. Among them There are also four very precious special personnel, and their bodies are all lost, let alone a small local supervisor like you, even the head of your branch may not be able to get away with the crime under such circumstances."

Hearing the hunter's words, Colin couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. Just as the hunter said, the loss of personnel this time is too much, which has exceeded his tolerance limit, even if he retrieved those people. The dead body of a person may not be able to cover the responsibility he has to bear.

"I...no...no...I...want to defect!" Although it felt useless, Colin still defended his behavior: "I...was...wanted...to find...back... Their... dead... corpses!"

"I know that a person who wants to defect will not dress like this, nor will he not carry any luggage." The hunter nodded, expressing that he believed the other party's words, but then changed the topic, and said: "But, That's because you didn't understand how much responsibility you have to bear, and when you do, you will definitely choose to defect." Then, he leaned forward, stared into Colin's eyes, and said, "You The look in my eyes now proves that I was right."

After listening to the hunter's words, Colin could no longer sustain the effects of the medicine in his body, and fell into a coma.

The hunter squatted down and carefully checked the opponent's body. After confirming that the opponent had really fallen asleep, he quickly took out a few copper rings from the rucksack and buckled them on his neck, wrists and ankles respectively. After finishing, the copper rings invariably shone a faint light, and then returned to calm.

"The psychological quality is really poor. Such a person can also be appointed as a regional director. It seems that the empire is really short of people." The hunter looked at the unconscious Colin with a look of disdain on his face, and then he said Put Colin on his shoulders and prepare to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, the strange noise behind him stopped him. While throwing the person on the ground, his body rolled out nimbly, and just rolled behind a big tree. When he stopped rolling, he had already grasped the machine crossbow he had seized before, and pointed it vigilantly at the place where the abnormal noise came from. He held his breath and listened to all the movements around him.

After a while, there was no abnormality in the place where the abnormal noise came out. The hunter also began to feel that he was a little nervous, and his tense body relaxed, and he was about to step out and continue to carry his captive away.

However, his emotions and body, which had just been relaxed, suddenly tensed up, and the expression on his face was full of horror, but the hand holding the weapon didn't dare to make any changes, because he didn't know when, there was already a wound wrapped around his neck. A few vines, and the spikes on the top of the vines were aimed at his eyes like daggers. As long as he made any movement, the spikes would likely penetrate his eyes and penetrate his head.

"Damn it, is it a mutant? Or a family?" The hunter cursed in his heart, and he inevitably felt pessimistic.

"The traitor's spies went to the hinterland of the empire and kidnapped the empire's spies. If the higher-ups find out about this, we will have a headache!" A hoarse man's voice came from behind the hunter, his tone full of ridicule. .

What the other party said also made the hunter completely desperate, because it was not hard to hear from the other party's words that this man was also a member of a secret department of the empire.

At this time, a hand grabbed his shoulder, and the hoarse voice rang in his ear, saying: "Now tell me, how many of you rebels are still in Sardinia, and where are they?" Said Then, the voice paused for a moment, and then he said threateningly: "Of course you don't have to say it now, and I hope you don't say it now, because this will allow me to use the new toy I just got on you rebels. "

A look of despair appeared on the hunter's face. He knew very well what would happen to the agents of the United Kingdom who fell on the imperial side. Death is definitely the best choice, so he didn't hesitate and directly threw the machine crossbow in his hand. on the chin, and pulled the trigger.

However, the arrow piercing his head that he hoped to feel did not appear, and the crossbow in his hand seemed to be out of order. No matter how he pulled the trigger, it was of no use. Just when he was so desperate that he wanted to attack the opponent, through the opponent's hand When he finished his suicide, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, saying: "It's not bad to have the courage to commit suicide, but it's just a little stupid, Mourning Nowitzki, I'll give you four for this test." point."

When the other party said his name, Hunter Mourning showed a look of surprise on his face, and when he heard the following content, the panic and despair on his face disappeared, and he turned his head regardless of the threat of the vine on his neck Look behind you.

There were several people standing behind him at this moment, and after his eyes only swept over a few of them, he landed on a beautiful woman in a hunting suit.

When he saw this woman, his body immediately reacted instinctively, he stood up straight towards the woman, and saluted: "Number 74359, Mourning Nowitzki, I have seen Belmont Instructor!"

The people behind this hunter were Leo and his party who had just come down from Mount Rum. They had planned to rest at the climber camp in the mountainous area of ​​Mount Rum according to Sylvia's plan, and then went around from the forest to The port city in the eastern part of Sardinia, go there to contact the people of the United Kingdom, first send Mist and Randall away, and then go to the county directly under the royal family of Farland to find a chance to enter the treasure house.

However, to Sylvia's surprise, the avalanche caused by Leo was too strong, not only destroying the mountainous area around Mount Rum, but also destroying all the climbers' camps on the edge of the mountainous area. This made them have to change their plans, first go to the nearest town of Cambay to inquire about good news, and then consider the next step after learning about the situation in the French Empire.

As a result, when they walked halfway, several people happened to witness the scene where the hunter Mourning captured the secret agents of the empire. Coincidentally, this Mourning happened to be one of the secret spies that Sylvia had trained in the United Kingdom of France over the years. This made Sylvia suddenly want to try the loyalty of this Mourning, so there was the scene after that.

"You are on a mission now, so you don't need to care about this kind of etiquette." Sylvia signaled the hunter to put down his hand, then asked Tessa Mocha to take back the vine, and then said to the relieved counterpart: "You are on a mission now, I I don't ask you about the mission, now I need a safe place to rest, and I also need information on the changes in the situation of the French Empire in the past six months."

The hunter responded immediately, saying, "I have a very secret secret base, and I'm about to go there now. It's a big place, and it's not a problem to arrange instructors for you. However, the intelligence information of the empire must be reported to the higher-level department. , to be released."

"Report to the higher-level department?" Sylvia frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"

"At least twenty-five days." The hunter thought for a while and gave a time, but then added: "However, instructor, you have the status of earl and privileged channels, so the time to get approval will be much shorter, but it will also take ten days. About five days."

"It's been too long." Sylvia frowned and asked, "What about the black market? Buy information from the black market..."

"It's better not!" The hunter shook his head and said, "According to my understanding, the black market in Sardinia has basically been infiltrated by the empire."

"What?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "How could the black market allow this to happen? They..."

The hunter immediately explained: "There is nothing they can do. I heard that when the fog appeared on the sea, the leaders of all levels of the black market in the Velen continent had a meeting on a sea boat, and they disappeared like this. Now the entire black market in the Velen continent has disappeared. Out of control, they themselves are in complete chaos, and various factions are vying for resources." He added: "Let's not talk about the empire, even the black market on the side of the Kingdom and the Hanosian Union has been stripped out. .”

Hearing this news, not only Sylvia frowned, but even Leo showed the same expression, because they originally planned to go to the black market to buy materials related to the royal treasury of France before going to Look for enough information, understand the situation of the treasure house, and then consider when and how to do it.

Now that the black market has been infiltrated by the empire, they have cut off one of the most useful sources of information, which will undoubtedly have some impact on their subsequent actions.

Things changed, Leo and the others could only think of another way, but this place was not a good place to think of a way, so Sylvia asked the hunter to lead the way, took them to the secret base, and thought about other things after resting.

So, under the leadership of the hunter, a group of people quickly walked out of the forest and came to a villa located in the winter area of ​​Cambay Town.

This villa is very luxurious, and the badge of the owner of the villa can be seen on the door plate of the villa. Judging from the complexity of the badge, it should be a certain imperial nobleman.

"The badge of Earl Duncan, is this the summer residence of Earl Duncan?" Sylvia said in surprise after seeing the badge above.

It is no wonder that Sylvia was so surprised, because Earl Duncan is also known as the diehard Duncan. He is a diehard faction of the current Emperor of France. It was introduced by Earl Duncan, so after the accession to the throne of the Emperor of France, Earl of Duncan was reused, and he became one of the most trusted people of the Emperor of France.

"Yes, this is Earl Duncan's villa, but this villa is only in the name of Earl Duncan, and Earl Duncan probably doesn't even know that this villa exists." The hunter quickly explained, and said: "This villa is owned by Earl Duncan. The son bought it to house his mistress, but the mistress died of illness half a year ago, and the villa was left unused. I was hired to maintain the villa, so I simply transformed the villa into a secret base, and Because of Lord Duncan, it's safe here, too."
