The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Leo's request, Ljungberg shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "There is no more information, and this information is all I can collect. Not only are there many people in the dark world who want to know about the three Brother's ability, even in the real world, there are many dignitaries who want to know their ability, but the result is that anyone who knows their ability is dead."

"You came to me because you want me to deal with them?" Leo frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes." Ljungberg nodded.

"They also came for No. 9 Golden Oak Street?" Leo asked puzzled, "I remember their information shows that they seem to kill people for a living, and they don't seem interested in exploring such mysterious things."

"They are here to kill people." Ljungberg explained: "They are all hounds raised by Rupert Fitz. This time they were urgently transferred to Miria City to kill those members of the Continental Congress for Rupert. hostile MPs and officials."

"Does the high-level of the French Empire allow such behavior?" Leo asked a little puzzled: "Once a conflict occurs, sending killers to assassinate the high-level enemy. Is he hostile by all the top leaders of the Faran Empire? Who can be sure that he will not be the next target to be assassinated by his opponent?"

Ljungberg spoke surprisingly, and said: "You seem to have made a mistake. These three people were recruited by Rupert Fitz to kill members and officials of the Continental Congress, not nobles and officials of the Faran Empire. .”

Hearing these suggestive words, Leo seemed to understand something. After thinking for a while, he said, "Has the upper echelon of the French Empire started to be hostile to the Continental Congress?"

Ljungberg sighed and said: "When Miria I built Miria City and set up the headquarters of the Continental Congress here, he wanted the French Empire to use the Continental Congress to control and influence the politics, military and economy of other countries. However, people from other countries are not fools. Since it is unavoidable to set the headquarters of the Continental Congress in Miria City, they simply build a Continental Congress headquarters on each continent. In this way, the power of the Continental Congress is guaranteed. The effect of external influence has been weakened to the extreme."

"Is there no master-slave relationship among the three continental congresses?" Leo asked doubtfully.

Ljungberg explained: "The three continental parliaments are equal, but internal officials and members of parliament will switch with each other, just like the speaker who just died was just the legal officer of the Mozambique continent at the beginning."

Hearing the mention of the speaker, Leo couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face.

Ljungberg noticed the abnormal expression on Leo's expression, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Thinking that Ljungberg would know about this sooner or later, Leo did not hide it, and told what happened last night, which made Ljungberg dumbfounded.

Ljungberg couldn't help but said to himself: "No wonder Rupert Fitz transferred the three brothers here in such a hurry. It seems that the speaker's actions disrupted his overall plan, and he had to find external forces to solve it. question."

Leo did not interrupt Ljungberg's thinking, and waited for a while.

After a while, Ljungberg recovered from his contemplation, and instead of talking about the speaker, he turned the topic back and said: "Judging from the current situation of the French Empire, Miria I's plan is a failure. Yes, not only did they fail to control other countries through the Continental Congress, they were instead influenced by the Continental Congress. Especially the cities in the Western Continent that are very closely related to Miria City have been more or less influenced by the ideological trend of the Continental Congress , it has been proposed more than once to establish a new political system in the Western Continent, which is different from the aristocratic regime in the Eastern Continent, which is dominated by field nobles, court nobles and military nobles, but a mixture of civilians, businessmen and nobles. a three-level parliamentary system."

"It's no wonder that the higher-ups of the Faran Empire are so hostile to the Continental Congress. This clearly wants to divide the Faran Empire into two." Hearing this, Leo felt a little sympathy for the Faran Empire, and felt that they were very sympathetic to the Continental Congress. The approach is completely justifiable.

Then he looked at Ljungberg curiously and said, "Which side are you on?"

"I don't stand on either side." Ljungberg said with great certainty: "I don't like this kind of political game. All I want to do is to ensure the peace of Miria City."

"If you do this, both sides will be hostile." As an outsider, Leo could see it more clearly than Ljungberg.

Ljungberg smiled without worry: "At least both of them still need a stable situation like me."

Suddenly, Leo seemed to think of something, pondered for a while, and said: "Since the high-level officials of the Faran Empire are so hostile to the city of Miria, then the heir to the throne supported by Baron de Maupassant made a wrong choice? The high-level officials of the French Empire I am afraid that because of Baron Maupassant's actions in Miria City, he will be disgusted with him and support Duke Dewen instead."

"That's not necessarily the case." Ljungberg seemed to know something inside, but he didn't intend to elaborate.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions, and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he returned to the main topic and said, "Go and find out where the three brothers lived after they came to Miria City, I..."

"No need to check, many people know where they live." Ljungberg quickly gave an answer, saying: "After the three brothers arrive in Miria City, they will spend a day in the exclusive suite of the Xinghai Hotel to enjoy the day. , and then go out to work."

"Xinghai Hotel? Is it the tallest and most luxurious Xinghai Hotel in the city?" Leo said while talking, the hotel he saw in the business district came to mind again and again.

"Yes." Ljungberg nodded.

Leo asked again: "When will the three brothers arrive in Miria City?"

Ljungberg quickly replied: "It will arrive in the afternoon, so from the afternoon to tomorrow, the three brothers will stay in the hotel."

"I'm going to do a field survey to see the location of their suite and the surrounding conditions." Leo said, stood up, and was about to go out.

"Wait, you don't want to go there." Ljungberg also stood up, stopped him, and said mysteriously: "Here you can also understand the situation around the hotel."

After speaking, he gestured to Leo, walked to a corner of the room, turned on the oil lamp in the room, and then saw the secret door in front of him slowly open, revealing a spiral staircase leading to the attic.

Led by Ljungberg, the two went up the spiral staircase and soon came to the attic.

I saw that this attic is a combination of the roof attics of the four surrounding buildings, so it is very spacious.

Put a large table occupying two-thirds of the attic area on the attic. There is a huge city model on the table. Although there are many places that Leo doesn’t know, the Sky Tower, Red House Street, the headquarters of the Continental Congress, etc. The characteristic buildings can still be recognized at a glance.

"Is this a model map of Miria City?" Leo looked at Ljungberg in surprise.

"This is a scale model of Miria City that I made with my own hands." Ljungberg looked at the city in front of him with obvious pride on his face.

Leo walked around the model, turned the model into data, and put it into the sub-brain system. Compared with the three-dimensional data map of Miria City he constructed through the spiritual network, he compared Ljungberg's Surprised by the generosity.

What surprised Leo even more was that after his comparison, he found that the architectural proportion data of this model was almost the same as the real urban buildings. It can be seen that Ljungberg must have spent a lot of thought when collecting these architectural data. .

After seeing this huge model, Leo also understood that Ljungberg really loves this city, treats this city as his own child, and will never allow any external forces, even those of the French Empire itself. power to destroy it.

Leo didn't say much, walked directly to the location in the business district, and asked, "Where is the exclusive room for the three brothers?"

"Here." Ljungberg took out a thin stick and pointed to the outer wall of a specially marked room on the Xinghai Hotel model. It seemed that he had already prepared for it.

I saw that this room was located in the middle of the hotel, about one hundred floors, because the exterior wall structure was very similar, if it was not specially marked, it would be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the location of this room from the outside of the hotel.

"How to go up in the normal way?" Leo asked again.

"There are four security stairs inside the hotel, which can go all the way to the top floor, but there are people guarding there all the year round. The security room is in the stairwell of the four stairs, so it is impossible to go up the stairs silently." Ljungberg took out He took out a sketch of the internal structure of Xinghai Hotel that he had prepared a long time ago, pointed to the positions of the four staircases, and then pointed to the fifteen small squares in the middle, and said, "The fifteen here are steam elevators, which can be ascended at one time." Ten people are the main means of transportation for the hotel."

As he said that, he suggested: "You can book a room on the floors below the fiftieth floor, and then try to get to the exclusive suite of the three brothers on the hundredth floor from the fiftieth floor."

Leo questioned: "Why is there only the 50th floor? Is it so difficult that I can't book a room on the 100th floor?"

"Rooms on floors above the fiftieth floor can only be booked by members of Xinghai Hotel. To become a member of Xinghai Hotel, you not only need an identity, but you also need to be approved by the Xinghai Hotel committee. The chairman of the committee is Rupert Fitz .”

Leo didn't ask any more questions. He looked around the Xinghai Hotel, and then pointed with his finger. About 1,200 meters away from the Xinghai Hotel, another hotel with a height of 100 floors asked, "Who runs this hotel?" ?”

"The Crown Hotel of the steel tycoon Robert of America and California." Ljungberg quickly answered for Leo: "Robert wanted to build a luxury hotel comparable to the Xinghai Hotel at the beginning, but because of the unreasonable architectural design, it was built until the end of the year. After the 100th floor, the person in charge of the construction told him that if he continued to build, the bottom building might not be able to bear the weight of the high-rise building, which would cause the entire building to collapse, so Robert had to stop the construction and was forced to cap the building at the 110th floor. .”

Leo asked: "There should be no special identity and procedures for booking a room on the 100th floor here, right?"

"No need, as long as you have money." Ljungberg looked at Leo suspiciously, and asked, "What's the use of booking a room here?"

"Don't worry about it, just book a suite here." Leo pointed to the location of the room he requested, and then walked down the attic.

Although Ljungberg didn't understand why Leo did this, he followed Leo's instructions and quickly booked the room at the location Leo designated, and delivered the room card and key to him at noon. hands.

After getting the room card and keys, Leo left Ljungberg's secret headquarters directly, took the carriage prepared by Ljungberg, and arrived at the Crown Hotel in the business district, where he checked into a room on the 100th floor.

After checking into the designated room, Leo stood in front of the glass window where he could see the Xinghai Hotel, activated his spiritual vision skill, and used the farsightedness ability in his spiritual vision to look towards the suite where the target would stay.

Because the room is made of huge special glass as the outer wall, as long as there is no curtain to block it, you can clearly see the situation in the room.

However, for Leo, it doesn't make any sense to cover or not. Spirit Vision can see the psychic energy lingering on everyone's body, even if there is something blocking it, it can clearly judge anyone's position.

After testing the effect of his psionic skills in use, Leo's heart rate increased by 20%, and then he waited for the actual combat at night.

In the following time, Leo didn't do anything else, except ordering the hotel staff to serve a meal for seven people every half hour, he always took the book written by the wilderness wizard Samuel Dunbar The wizard's notes looked up.

Samuel Dunbar obviously didn't record his daily habits in his notes. The contents in the notes were all real knowledge, and after reading the notes, Leo also understood why Samuel Dunbar was called the Wilderness Wizard.

Because in this notebook, most of the content recorded is the detailed information of various plants, insects, animals and other creatures on the three continents of Velen. There are some very precious and special animals and plants that cannot be described in words. A beautiful sketch is also attached to the description.

Because the recorded text is written in Gamore language, although the whole notebook does not look very thick, it has a lot of content. It is roughly estimated that more than 5,000 different plants, 700 kinds of animals and 3,000 kinds of animals are recorded. The knowledge of the shape, function and processing methods of various insects can be called a complete encyclopedia of vinylon biology.

For ordinary people, although the explanatory texts of these animals and plants are rare knowledge, they are not very important, because the Vinylon Biological Encyclopedia published every year by the medical school records more animal and plant information than this, and records be more detailed.

But for the people of the dark world, especially those pseudo-wizards in the wizarding hall, the contents of this notebook can only be described as priceless.

Because in the description of each animal and plant recorded in the notes, there are all methods of using these animals and plants for wizard potions, and there are even at least thirty-two wizard potion formulas hidden in it, and each formula is placed in the I am afraid that the black market will cause all parties in the dark world to snap up.
