The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is the thing on you?" Baron Rudolph came to Campbell Town, saw the three people mentioned in the order, and asked unceremoniously after confirming their identities.

"It's here, sir." Colin took out the box that his subordinates gave him two days ago, and handed it to Baron Rudolph.

Baron Rudolf looked at the box curiously, wanting to take it and open it to have a look, but in the end he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and said, "Take the things, don't give them to me, we'll leave now."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, while the knights behind him surrounded Colin and the others, not only protecting them, but also monitoring them.

After walking out of the house, Baron Rudolph separated Colin and his two men and placed them in two carriages respectively. Both carriages were protected by seven or eight cavalrymen from the Security Bureau.

"Go to Kalu Town." Baron Rudolph ordered to the coachman when he boarded his carriage.

The attendant who followed behind was stunned when he heard the words. After getting into the car, he couldn't help asking: "Isn't Kalu Town an abandoned mining town? What are you doing there?"

Baron Rudolph said in a deep voice: "There is a railway for transporting ore directly to Berukne. The train for transporting ore was still in use, but it was transformed into a freight train. It was bought by the Crane family at full price and became a They have entered their family’s private railway, which has not been recorded on the empire’s railway network, and has not been restricted, so we can take that train to Berukne, and then return to Winterfell from Berukne.”

"The Kelan family? That damned dirty family?" The attendant couldn't help cursing.

"What? Does the Crane family have any enmity with you?" Baron Rudolph asked with raised eyebrows.

The attendant said angrily: "I borrowed a sum of money from the bank opened by their family some time ago, but the repayment was only three days late. They even asked me to pay three times the interest on the grounds of breach of contract."

Baron Rudolph said with a serious expression: "You should exchange money honestly! At least their family is still following the rules, and you are late in repaying the money, so no one else is to blame, not to mention that Earl Crane is now His Majesty's favorite, even if he is The one above our heads didn't dare to trouble him, so he had to hold back any grievances and keep everything in his stomach, I don't want to see your corpse appear in that alley in the imperial capital that day."

The attendant didn't say anything more. Under the whip of the driver, the carriage started slowly, gradually accelerated, and drove out of Cambay Town. Not long after the team left Cambay Town, several birds and beasts came from different places. Fly out of the house and disappear into the air.

In the carriage, Colin couldn't calm down for a long time, and was still very nervous. He had no idea what the outcome of this review would be for him. Things can help him tide over the difficulties.

Compared to Colin's nervousness, the so-called avalanche survivors in the carriage behind seemed very calm. The moment they boarded the carriage, one of them had already performed a witchcraft, creating a havoc inside the carriage. A special soundproof space.

"It seems to be going well." The male member of the Special Operations Department suddenly said.

If Baron Rudolph was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised by the voice he heard, because the voice and language of this virgin member of special operations are completely different from just now, as if he returned a person.

"It should be caused by that bone." The female member also said in a completely different voice: "The review is just the most basic review. It seems that the people above him really want to see that thing as soon as possible."

The two members of the special operations team in the carriage were Leo and Sylvia who had been disguised. Through Colin's memory, they perfectly disguised as the two dead members of the special operations team, and became a giant avalanche. The survivors, and also harvested a strange item from the so-called man-eating mutant they captured.

For Leo and Sylvia, the first hurdle has passed, and the next step is to see the follow-up development after Winterring City.

Sylvia raised the curtains of the car window a little bit, and saw the cavalry driving side by side with the carriage through the gap, her eyes paused on the badges on the cavalry, then she lowered the curtains again, and said: "They are not special operations. Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Security Service."

"Hmm." Leo didn't seem very surprised, because just now he had overheard the conversation between Baron Rudolf in front of the carriage and his attendant through the spiritual network, and learned their identities from their conversation.

"Things may change unexpectedly." Sylvia said with some concern.

"It's going to be fine." Although Leo didn't learn more from the conversation between Baron Rudolf and the attendant, he already knew the attitude of the two from the tone of their conversation, and compared their current conversation The retelling was given to Sylvia.

Although the content of the two people's conversation now does not involve matters related to them, Sylvia still heard some clues, smiled bitterly, and said: "It seems that we should have encountered a power struggle within the empire." " She paused for a while and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not over yet, and we will encounter some troubles."

"Why do you say that?" Leo asked.

Sylvia smiled and said: "The reason why the Special Operations Department pushed the matter of Cambay Town to the Internal Affairs Department of the Security Bureau is because there is trouble with this matter, but the thing we took out reversed the situation. In this situation, not only is there no fault, but there will be credit, and judging by their attitude, the credit is still very large. Of course, the Special Operations Department will not be willing to give the credit to the Imperial Security Bureau willingly, so it will definitely jump out and grab the credit. At that time, our attitude will become the key to the matter." She said, she thought for a while and said: "But it doesn't matter, we won't get too involved in this matter, after all, the two of us in disguise are too low-ranking and not qualified enough , Colin is the focus of their targeting, we just need to put all the credit on Colin."

Leo nodded when he heard the words, and said nothing more.

After a while, Sylvia suddenly said: "In fact, I should let Tessa stay. Her abilities can help us a lot."

Two days ago, Sylvia contacted the spies of the United Kingdom lurking in the northern part of the empire, and sent away Tessa Mocha and others through a secret passage. Tessa Mocha said at the time that she could stay and help, but Considering that she couldn't do a perfect disguise at all, Sylvia refused.

Thinking about it now, if Tessa Moka stays, she can also use other methods to send her to the vicinity of Winterfell City, which can be used as support when necessary.

However, it is too late to think of these now. Judging from the time, the secret passage has been activated, and the people who were sent away should have entered the process of returning home.

Compared to Sylvia's pity, Leo had an indifferent attitude and said: "If something really happens, she may not be able to play a supporting role, and she will run with you alone. It's much easier to run with two people."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Has your research on the Psionic Wing come to fruition?"

Ever since he mastered the psychic ability of the psychic wing, Leo was both satisfied and dissatisfied with the use of the psychic wing. He was satisfied because the psychic wing gave him a certain flying ability, but he was not satisfied with this kind of flying. Ability is limited, not real flying.

In the universe, psychics can travel through the vacuum of the universe through their psychic wings, and fight like fighter planes in a vacuum, but Leo's psychic wings can't fight effectively even in normal airspace, let alone fighting in a vacuum. fighting.

So Leo has been researching the psionic wing, looking for a way to allow him to fly in the air. Once he has the ability to fly, he will gain an absolute advantage when confronting the enemy.

Sylvia also knew that Leo was researching a kind of flying ability. Although she didn't know what psionic skills were, she also understood that this ability was unique to Leo. When the inspiration is exhausted, provide some suggestions that can be inspired.

However, she has always known that Leo's research on this ability has hit a bottleneck, and she doesn't know when it will be broken. But now, according to Leo's words, his research seems to have made a breakthrough.

Facing Sylvia's guess, Leo did not hide anything, nodded, and said, "Yes, I have found a method. Although there is no experiment yet, the calculation module has been completed, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

It is not appropriate to say that there is no experiment. When he was in the manor, he tried to use the improved psionic wings. He knew exactly how fast and how high he could fly, but he reckoned that it shouldn't be a problem to carry a person and fly hundreds of meters high.

Although Sylvia couldn't understand some of Leo's words and vocabulary, she could tell from Leo's tone that the other party had mastered the ability to fly. This was undoubtedly very good news for what they were going to do.

For a long time, the sky has been a restricted area for human beings. Based on her understanding of the highest security arrangements in various countries, even the security layout of the French Palace focuses mostly on the ground, with very little defense against the air.

Although there is such a thing as an airship now, the shape of the airship is so large that it can be seen from far away, so the inertial thinking of the warning system over the years has not changed because of the appearance of this flying object.

Now that Leo can fly, even if it's just a short flight, the difficulty for them to enter and leave the palace will be reduced to the limit.

This news also made Sylvia relax a little bit. The two talked for a while, how to contact each other if they were placed in different places, and so on, then closed their eyes and rested their minds.

The carriage drove very fast, and it took about half a day to arrive at Kalu Town.

Just like those mining towns all over the world, when the nearby mines have mines to dig, the town is very prosperous, even comparable to some big towns, but as the mineral deposits decrease and disappear, the town quickly Declined and eventually turned into a dead town.

However, the situation in Kalu Town is slightly different, because its specialty here is not only iron ore, but also a kind of high-grade wood called black wood. So now even if Kalu Town has no mineral deposits, the town can still survive through the logging industry.

The family in charge of the town's logging industry is the most famous commercial aristocratic Crane family in the French Empire. This family strongly supported Louis X when Louis X was still a prince, but at that time Louis X had Rupert With a legendary figure like Fitz, the Crane family's camp in Louis X's camp seemed less conspicuous.

However, with the betrayal of Rupert Fitz, the Crane family became the most important economic minister of Louis X. After Louis X ascended the throne, the patriarch of the Crane family has always served as the important position of finance minister. , is one of the most trusted courtiers of Louis X. The Crane family has gradually expanded because of the emperor's favor. Although it is not the largest noble in the French Empire, it is definitely the richest noble in the French Empire.

After the mines in Kalu Town ceased production, the Crane family spent a lot of money to buy the logging rights of Kalu Town, the surrounding Blackwood Forest, and the railway that was originally used to transport ore directly to Berukne City.

Although this railway is already the private railway of the Crane family, according to the authority of the Imperial Security Bureau, it has the right to recruit the trains of this railway.

After the convoy entered Kalu Town, it went directly to the train station, stopped a train that was about to transport timber, and then used the authority of the Security Bureau to call for this train. It was said that the call was actually just adding a few passengers. It's just people, and the train did not let the loaded timber be unloaded, so the recruitment process was not blocked by the person in charge of the Crane family.

The only dissatisfied people may be those passengers who are going to take this train to Berukne. In order to avoid any accidents, these people are all driven off the train. Except for the driver of the train, there is no one on board Others are gone.

As the train started slowly, Baron Rudolph and the others relaxed a little bit. In their view, the most dangerous time had passed, and they would be completely safe when they arrived in Berukne a day later.

Although it was safe for the time being, Baron Rudolf still did not reduce the surveillance and protection on Leo and the others. After simply eating some food, he placed Colin, Leo and others in different compartments, and let Three cavalry guards were inside and outside the carriage.

And he himself did not rest, but handed over the defense inside the carriage to his attendant, and he went directly to the locomotive to monitor and protect the driver of the train.

Among the accompanying cavalry, many people thought that Baron Rudolph was a little nervous, but as time entered the night, they realized that Baron Rudolph's nervousness was not unreasonable, because a cavalry disappeared inexplicably.
