The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 424 The Duke of Buckingham

Seeing the document handed over by the Duke of Buckingham, the supervisor of the special department couldn't help being stunned, his face became a little more serious, he took the document with both hands very carefully, and then opened it and looked through it carefully.

After flipping through a few pages, his face was also full of surprise. If the Duke of Buckingham hadn't handed this document to him personally, he would even think that this document is complete nonsense.

Although he is an ordinary person, he can become the supervisor of a special department more or less knows that this world is not ordinary. In the normal world, there is also a mysterious world with various mythical creatures, and the people in that world are all Extraordinary humans with powers beyond common sense.

In the past, he had worked with several such superhuman beings on several missions assigned by the Duke of Buckingham. Although he did not come to the scene in person, he was able to see countless incredible things and Incredible creatures, such as a person can easily destroy a house, or a person suddenly becomes a giant wolf and so on.

Although he is very curious about the things in that world, he doesn't want to get in touch with that world too much, because the danger of that world is far beyond his ability. He still remembers that in order to cooperate with those missions, his subordinates died. He recruited more than 30 masters, making him unavailable for a long time.

You know, those thirty or so masters are all seasoned fighters, and each of them has completed at least five dangerous missions. However, judging from the intelligence, these masters were only accidentally involved in the brink of the battle. Then it was torn to pieces like a scarecrow, without even the strength to resist.

However, now he saw another extraordinary human being belonging to that mysterious world in the document in his hand, and this human being was considered an ordinary person by him just a moment ago.

"Is it true?" After carefully reading the document, the head of the special department respectfully put the document back on the table, and then said in disbelief: "From the information in my hand, he has been Nothing special?"

The Duke of Buckingham did not blame his subordinates for their doubts. In fact, he prefers his subordinates to question some of his views, so that he can look at his own ideas from another angle and find the loopholes in his ideas, so he patiently explained: : "Most of the information in your hand is about him in the Kingdom of England, and there is very little information about him after he joined the army. He should have gained some power from some kind of mutation in the war that year, and he also entered the army. In that world." As he spoke, he paused again, and said: "He also found the royal family's Poseidon scepter, so the royal property in Port of Set should be the reward for finding the Seagod's scepter."

"Scepter of the Sea God?" The supervisor was taken aback for a moment, as an Englishman, how could he not have heard of the Scepter of the Sea God.

According to the ancient legends of the royal family, the royal family relied on the scepter of the sea god to control this sea area, and finally gained a foothold in this archipelago far away from the Velen continent, and developed into the current sea overlord.

However, in the hearts of the English people, the Poseidon scepter is the same as the identity of the son of the Poseidon claimed by the royal family. They are all regarded as the bragging of the British royal family. , In terms of momentum and psychology, you can not fall behind.

But now the Duke of Buckingham's words indicated that the Sea God's Scepter was real, which made him think of the legendary power of the Sea God's Scepter and the miraculous performance of the royal fleet during the typhoon.

The supervisor couldn't help showing a little worry, and asked: "Your Highness, the royal family really has the Sea God's Scepter, so our fleet..."

The Duke of Buckingham shook his head, and said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter. Although the Sea God's Scepter is still the Sea God's Scepter, the royal family is not what it used to be. They can't exert the full power of the Sea God's Scepter. The power of the scepter is only stolen during the typhoon, and it will not have any impact on our fleet." After speaking, he was reluctant to say more on this topic, and turned back to Leo's question, asking: "You have seen the document just now, tell me what you think."

The director of the special department pondered for a while, and said seriously: "It's best not to become an enemy. Once you become an enemy, you must try your best to solve him."

"Yeah! You think the same as I do." The Duke of Buckingham nodded, but changed the subject and said, "Don't contact him for now, and don't send anyone to Port of Sete. In addition, you go and warn those people down there not to do anything. Small tricks, I don't want to cause a big trouble because of their smartness."

"Yes, I know how to do it." The supervisor nodded.

After the order was finished, the Duke of Buckingham waved him back. After the supervisor left the room, on the sofa at one side of the room, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air accompanied by a wave of light.

I saw that this man was very young, probably only in his twenties, with curly red hair and two well-trimmed mustaches. He looked very handsome, and he was dressed in the most popular gentleman's short trench coat in the Kingdom of England.

"You are really willing to give up. You must know that this Leo Dodd is the only survivor on the Queen Mary. He may know the whereabouts of that thing." The young man sat on the sofa very casually and asked the Duke of Buckingham road.

The Duke of Buckingham lowered his head to deal with the documents in his hand, and asked without raising his head: "You have read the documents, do you think you can win this Leo Dodd with your strength?"

"Of course it's impossible." The young man gave the answer without even thinking about it, and said, "According to the information shown in the data, his strength is at least equivalent to that of a senior person, and I'm not much stronger than him. And The information on the document was only half a year ago. Judging from Leo Dodd’s experience, his strength has grown by leaps and bounds. After almost disappearing for a period of time, when he reappears, his strength will be completely different from before. This time he After the Queen Mary has lasted for more than half a year, when it reappears, its strength must have improved a lot, and I don't have the slightest confidence that I can take him down."

The Duke of Buckingham quickly glanced at a document, signed his name at the end, put the document in the box next to him, gave the young man a cold look, and said, "If this is the case, why do you ask me if I Are you willing to give up?"

"Actually, you can spread the word that he is the only survivor of the Queen Mary. I believe there will be many people..." The young man said with a smile.

"But what's in it for me?" The Duke of Buckingham interrupted coldly without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

The young man was immediately stumped by the question. Although his approach could indeed attract many people to provoke Leo, it was unlikely to bring any benefits to the Duke of Buckingham. Instead, it would be because of the arrival of a large number of outsiders Cause unnecessary trouble to the security of the Kingdom of England.

"Then what do you think should be done? You can't just let it go like this?" The young man said angrily.

"Why should I deal with this Leo Dodd, is he our enemy? No, he is not, he just hired my former butler, and my butler will never reveal any secrets he knows The Duke of Buckingham looked at the other party calmly, and said: "Since he is not an enemy, why should I always think about dealing with him, why don't I want to become a partner with him? After all, as a student of the old man Rembrandt, he no matter Whether it is status or strength, it is enough to make friends with people like us."

As he spoke, he threw a document in his hand to the young man.

The young man skillfully took over the document, flipped through it quickly, frowned and said, "Are you going to invest in the Shell Machinery Factory in Port of Dorset? You must know that it is a loss-making product, and it owes a lot of foreign debts. "

"The situation is different now." The Duke of Buckingham said in a deep voice: "My people found out that Leo Dodd invested in the shares of this factory that was about to go bankrupt yesterday, accounting for one-third of all shares. A copy of the blueprint was given to the machinery factory, so that the machinery factory can manufacture some very practical gadgets. According to my estimation, the shell machinery factory will get through the difficulties soon, and it will be better than before, so now is the best time to invest Timing, and by the way, being able to connect with this Leo Dodd."

Listening to the Duke of Buckingham's narration, the young man suddenly froze for a moment, as if he had thought of the meaning behind Duke Buckingham's words, and said in surprise, "Are you going to meet that Leo Dodd in person?"

It is no wonder that the young man is so surprised, because the person sitting in front of him has left this room a handful of times in the past ten years, usually other people came here to meet him, and he left the room to meet in person. One exception is the person with the highest status in each country, but now he expresses that he wants to leave here and meet a

Commoner, this is really beyond the expectations of young people, even if this commoner has extraordinary power.

"Yes, I do intend to meet him in person." The Duke of Buckingham admitted the young man's speculation.

The young man had an unusual relationship with the Duke of Buckingham, and he spoke casually, so he said without hesitation, "That guy is not the illegitimate son of the previous Duke of Buckingham, is he your half-brother?"

The Duke of Buckingham glared at the young man with a cold face, then took out a document from the pile of documents, threw it over, and said, "I hope that when you complete this task, you can still be as relaxed as you are now."

The young man took the document and opened the first page, his face became a little ugly, and he said with a displeased expression, "Are you avenging yourself?"

"I just give the right task to the right person." The Duke of Buckingham took out a few more documents from the pile of documents, threw them on the table, and said, "If you think you can't complete that task, you can Choose one of these mission files."

"Forget it, I think this is very good." The young man shook his head and rejected the proposal without even thinking about it, and then seemed not to want to stay here any longer, his whole body shrank instantly and transformed into a silver kingfisher, grabbing The large file, which was completely out of proportion to his figure, quickly flew up, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the air.

After the young man left, the Duke of Buckingham leaned back on the chair and rubbed his eyes, then closed his eyes slightly for a rest, then sat up again suddenly, stretched out his hand and twisted the lamp on the table, and then inserted a key into the lamp to reveal a keyhole.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the mechanical sound of gears running from below, and with a slight vibration, the desk of the Duke of Buckingham slowly sank into the ground, and a raised floor seamlessly filled the exposed hole, making the inside of the study There is no difference from just now except for one less desk.

The floor platform supporting the desk sank quickly, and soon reached the bottom, then the desk turned slightly in one direction, and driven by the gears and chains, entered a secret room that had just opened the iron door, and stopped at the bottom of the secret room. right in the middle.

I saw that there were a large number of honeycomb-like holes on the wall of this secret room. Some scrolls were placed in each hole. Many, even dozens of them.

And in the secret room, the most eye-catching thing is not the documents around it, but the human-faced spider at the top of the secret room.

This spider is so big that it almost covers the entire roof of the secret room, and it looks very hideous in appearance. After the Duke of Buckingham entered the secret room, the spider woke up from a deep sleep and used more than a dozen pairs of eyes. The son stared at the Duke of Buckingham viciously, as if it wanted to swallow the Duke of Buckingham alive, but it never made any attack, as if there was something on the Duke of Buckingham that could restrain him. There was also a hint of fear.

The Duke of Buckingham ignored the big spider's reaction, he just looked at the surrounding hives, and then reported a few numbers.

After hearing these numbers, the spider immediately climbed to the corresponding hive bookshelf, took out all the scrolls inside, and then hung them upside down with spider silk and neatly placed them on the desk in front of the Duke of Buckingham.

The selected scrolls are all made of gold and precious stones without exception. The surface value alone is enough to judge that these scrolls are many times more expensive than other document scrolls on the honeycomb bookshelf.

Seeing these golden gem scrolls, the expression on the Duke of Buckingham's face became extremely serious. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and sat down at the desk. He picked up one of the golden gem scrolls and opened them carefully. up.

If Leo sees the text on these golden gem scrolls here, he will definitely be extremely surprised, because the text on it is the kind of special text he saw in the king city where everything ends, which belongs to the Titans and The combined text of other civilizations is different from all the languages ​​of Velen, but now this kind of text appears in the secret room of the highest and most prominent dignitaries in the Kingdom of England, which is really surprising.

Although the scroll is very large, the content of the scroll is not very large. The Duke of Buckingham finished reading it quickly, and after reading it, he sat on a chair and said to himself with a puzzled face: "What is so special about him?" A place? So many gods are actively contacting him?"
