The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

These two incidents usually don’t attract anyone’s attention. After all, one asks for a vacation, which is reasonable. Even if the other is disrespectful to the mother of filth, it’s just a personal behavior. Said that these two things can be a big problem.

Relying on two things, Leo and Sylvia can judge that there are problems with Commander Tyrell and Priest Luther. However, because the senior management of Lanxi City has not responded yet, it is difficult for them to do anything.

However, the two didn't wait too long, and they received news from Alice and a very old-looking terminal port accessor.

In fact, after leaving Leo and Sylvia's room, Alice immediately left the defense area at the entrance of the abyss and went to the upper layer of Lanxi Manager City.

This urban area is above the defensive area, with ten layers of armor in the middle and corresponding fortifications, and if Leo is there, it can be seen that this urban area is actually an independent external spaceship.

This external spaceship adopts an embedded combination method, and its own hull is stuck on the modification card slot of the Prometheus hull, so that the hull and the Prometheus are integrated.

Because it is an external spacecraft, it can separate from the main spacecraft when an accident occurs in the main spacecraft, forming a separate spacecraft to fly away from danger.

However, the people in Lanxi City have obviously lost relevant information, and the detachment devices have been damaged and corroded to varying degrees. A large hole has been corroded in some places, and the wiring is exposed. Also can not be used normally.

The urban area of ​​the upper management is much smaller than that of other urban areas. The people living here are all senior members of the Bachelor's Association and Sergeant's Association of Lanxi City. The number of these members is not very large, and their families are not Up to 40,000, but that is to say, these nearly 40,000 people manage the entire Lanxi City, and they are also the highest power center of Lanxi City.

Families with special status and status like the Belmont family do not live here. They live in other upper-level areas with other middle-level bachelor families and foreign special status groups. They are mainly responsible for managing the outer city and external affairs. The influence of Xicheng is far from comparable to that of this managerial district.

For other people in Lanxi City, the families living in this urban area are called the managers' families, but the managers' families prefer to call themselves the ancients or the stars, because the history of each of their families can Tracing back to the earliest origin of Lanxi City, the legendary starry sky era.

Although these managers' families are proud to promote their family's history, they have some feelings of inferiority towards their own bloodlines, because their bloodlines are no longer the purest ancient bloodlines.

A long time ago, the managers' families never intermarried with other human races outside. They believed that their blood was the noblest and most sacred. Any intermarriage would pollute the blood. Only managers' families could intermarry.

It’s just that after countless years of evolution, almost all the managers’ families have mixed blood, and intermarriage is almost the same as intermarriage between close relatives. There are problems with fertility rate, baby survival rate, etc., and the population has been greatly reduced.

Later, a plague caused by an abyss tide swept across Lanxi City. Although people in other urban areas were also infected and suffered some casualties, the casualties were nothing to the whole.

On the contrary, the manager's family had a large-scale infection covering almost all the families. A large part of the infected people could not be cured by various methods, even the power of the gods, and finally the population of the manager's family was greatly reduced. Sometimes there were only a few thousand people.

In order to prevent the manager's family from perishing, the patriarchs of the manager's family began to agree to intermarry with families in other urban areas, gradually restoring the population of the manager's family, and finally reached the current scale.

Although the manager's family is very proud of their family history and believes that they are the real masters of Lanxi City, they did not develop an arrogant character because of this. Humility, such as Alice, the Pope of the Church of the Martyrs.

When Alice came to the manager's city, Robert Bran, the head of the general affairs department of the manager's family and the vice president of the bachelor's society, was already waiting at the exit of the lift platform. When he saw Alice walking out, He went up immediately.

"Long time no see! Your Excellency, Pope Alice." Robert Bran offered to extend his hand to Alice.

Alice shook the other party's hand, and said with a slightly teasing tone: "In fact, we met at Captain Lake's banquet not long ago, but you were busy talking with your little maid at the time. And I'm following up with Speaker Cook about the whereabouts of a sum of money."

Robert Bran smiled embarrassingly. Although his age has entered old age, he still keeps his mind on it. Due to his identity and status, no one said it directly in front of him like Alice did.

Robert coughed twice, relieved his embarrassment, and then said: "We have read the information you reported before, and it is indeed very worthy of discussion, but we have some doubts. Is what is said in the information true? That A man named Leo Dodd really understands our technology, can really..."

"Mr. Minister, are you sure you want to say these things here?" Alice interrupted the other party and asked.

"Uh," Robert looked around, smiled, and said, "This is indeed not a suitable place for conversation."

After finishing speaking, he led Alice into his flying car, and then directly notified several ministerial officials of the Bachelor's Association and the administrator to go to the administrator's conference room for a meeting.

When they arrived at the meeting room, all the high-level executives of Lanxi City who had been notified before had arrived in the meeting room. When they saw Alice walking in, they all knew what the meeting was going to discuss.

After Alice arrived, the people at the venue began to discuss Alice's proposal without talking nonsense, and studied the answers to two questions about this proposal.

The first question is whether the mech sergeants of the Fearless Corps have suddenly become stronger, and whether this increase is related to the spiritual connection system.

This issue did not discuss for too long, because it was not the first time that everyone present had encountered the abyssal tide. Many people had experienced it at least ten times, and they were all surprised by the outbreak and end of the abyssal tide this time.

The first surprise is that the initial outbreak of the abyss tide is very strong this time. Although the number of abyss monsters rushing out of the abyss is not the largest in the previous abyss tides, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten, and it even rushed out later. There have never been so many high-level abyssal race fog demons in the past.

According to past combat experience, the Bachelors Association and Sergeant Association who were monitoring the entire battlefield at the upper level at that time had already made psychological preparations for the front line defense line to be breached and the erosion of the abyss to spread to the rear fort positions. Personnel began to prepare for the support battle.

But what no one expected was that in the face of such a fierce offensive, the fearless mech sergeants on the front line who should have suffered heavy casualties actually solved the entire battle with only a few casualties. It was extremely fragile, and almost died after a round of artillery fire. Judging by the damage on the ground, almost every artillery fire precisely concentrated those high-level abyssal races, which was simply unimaginable before.

Such an efficient combat capability has naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the management team. An organization under the Sergeant Association, which specializes in combat capability improvement research, has just carefully studied the entire Abyss Tidal battle process from the beginning to the end. As a result, It was found that the cooperation ability of the mecha sergeants of the Fearless Corps has been improved several times, almost reaching a perfect level, as if all the mecha sergeants of the entire corps are a whole.

On the battlefield, it looks as if several abyssal monsters are besieging a fearless mecha sergeant from the surface battle situation, but through perfect cooperation with each other, the actual situation is that several fearless mecha sergeants are besieging an abyssal monster, and usually they can In the first round of battle, the target of the attack was eliminated, and the attack efficiency was so high that it almost reached the peak of the existing mech sergeant's ability.

They were also looking for the reason for the surge in the combat power of the fearless mech sergeants, but they didn't have a clue. They didn't think it should be related to the spiritual connection system until Sylvia's proposal was handed in.

In fact, when that incident happened a few days ago, several organizations under the Sergeant Association had already started to study the spiritual connection system, but they studied this system as a dangerous object. When the system was activated, except for the modified Fearless Corps, all other mech sergeants were forced to separate from the machine and lost all combat effectiveness.

Before seeing Alice's proposal, these organizations were always looking for the location of the spiritual connection system, and the first task was to separate this system from the mecha, so that other mecha sergeants could recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, now Alice's proposal made them realize that the extraordinary combat power of the Fearless Corps in this battle of the abyss tide was actually related to this spiritual connection system that they thought was a dangerous object. Get them to revisit their prior priorities.

As for whether the spiritual connection system is the reason for the short-term increase in the combat effectiveness of the Fearless Corps, this is not a question at all in the eyes of the researchers organized by the Sergeant Association, because judging from the recent situation, only the spiritual connection system Only then can it have such a big impact on the mech sergeants.

As for the second question, do you agree with Leo's access to the core intelligence program?

Although Alice didn't directly tell everyone in the management team about Leo's identity, these people had already discovered Leo and Sylvia from Alice's previous actions, as well as the abnormal changes in the power of the abyss when the tide of the abyss occurred. Two people.

The investigation of Leo and Sylvia by the Bachelor's Association was very fast, and it was quickly found out that the two of them had just participated in the Bachelor's assessment not long ago. They should be low-ranking bachelors, but for some reason, their identities were found to be higher Bachelor, and there is no record of the origin of the two of them. Zhizhi knew from Sylvia's surname that she was from the Belmont family. Naturally, some people thought of the exiled Belmont family.

From this matter, the Bachelor already knew that Leo or Sylvia had the ability to enter the intelligence core authority that they could only master, which also made them wonder whether the expelled Belmont family left with Something related to Lanxi City's smart core permissions was taken away.

So before Alice's proposal appeared this time, and even now, the matter considered by the Bachelor's Council was not whether to agree to Leo's access to the core intelligence program, but to control Leo and Silvia and force them to intrude into the intelligence core. Methods.

It's just that Alice, who saw everyone's intentions, added something casually, which changed the discussion of the entire meeting from controlling Leo and Silvia to considering the feasibility and danger of Alice's proposal.

Alice casually added this sentence, which showed that Leo was the contractor of the Lord of the Black Forest and possessed the mark of the White Hart.

Lanxi City has a special status in this black forest area. Almost all the god domains are centered on Lanxi City. Lanxi City can mobilize the power of each god domain when necessary. If it is a contractor of ordinary gods, Even if it is an extremely important god like the mother of filth, Lanxi City can not care about it, because for the managers of Lanxi City, Lanxi City itself is more important than everything else.

Leo and Sylvia have mastered the method of invading the intelligent core of Lanxi City, which is tantamount to threatening the comfort and survival of Lanxi City. Any contract of gods is useless here.

But any god needs to be put in quotation marks, because there are some exceptions, and this exception is the Lord of the Black Forest and the gods of the Black Forest directly under his jurisdiction.

No matter how proud Lanxicheng was of his own origin and identity, he did not dare to be proud in front of the Lord of the Black Forest and the gods of the Black Forest directly under him, because in the records left by his ancestors in the past, there were more than one records like the filthy one. How the powerful god like a mother perished under the divine attack of the Lord of the Black Forest.

For those gods in the realm of gods, their believers are like ants, and they have to admit that their status is not much higher than ants in front of the Lord of the Black Forest.

It is precisely because of the Lord of the Black Forest that the management of Lanxi City began to seriously consider whether to open the intelligent core to Leo and Silvia.

However, after discussing, they found that this did not seem to be a multiple-choice question for them, and there was only one so-called multiple-choice answer.
