The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As announced by the city council, the prohibition order was lifted on the fourth day after it was promulgated, but this lift was not completely lifted, but the rule was changed, that is, those who leave can leave at will, but want to Those who enter the city need to pass the double review of the city council and the church.

Although the city council of Nice City stated that this new policy is only temporary and will be lifted when things calm down, many people are still dissatisfied.

Especially those caravans who have been trapped outside the city for many days, because they need to go through various formalities and inspections three or four times more than before, and the speed of entering the city is naturally much slower, which makes the city of Nice The same scene appeared in the four city gates. The caravan's vehicles blocked the road. As a result, those who were planning to leave had to find other ways to leave.

Compared with a limited number of steam trains, taking a cruise ship to leave from the water is the best choice. It’s just that there are too many people leaving, making the ferry tickets also in short supply. The ticket dealers are naturally watching this opportunity to make a fortune. Early on, through the internal response of various shipping companies, all the tickets were taken out. Unless they bought the tickets two days in advance like Leo, it is almost impossible to buy the tickets directly at the ticket office of the terminal.

Although many people are worried that there will be an accident and want to leave Nice as soon as possible, there are still many people who went the opposite way after the ban on Nice was lifted, trying to get into the city and staying in the city to watch the situation.

These people are not ordinary people, they are all well-known chambers of commerce presidents or senior executives in the New World and the Old World. Even the lowest status people are at the regional director level. The funds that can be used at any time are astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.

The reason why these wealthy people did not choose to leave Nice at this time, and even those who received the news couldn’t wait to come to Nice in the shortest possible time, because it was a by-product of this big move in Nice, and a large amount of real estate. , Land and materials.

Although the big move of Nice City this time was only a few days, it was the city council of Nice City and all the churches in a joint attack, and the action was decisive, and the strength was amazing. Almost 90% of the city of Nice was related to the heresy of Cthulhu. The underground forces were uprooted, and even the chambers of commerce and officials involved in it were not let go.

After a life-and-death blow, the seizure of the city council is naturally surprisingly huge.

For example, Dolby Group is the largest family-owned chamber of commerce in Nice. This chamber of commerce has been established more than a hundred years ago. Although the size of the land in Nice City has declined, coupled with industrial transformation and other reasons, the real estate under its control is only half of its peak, but it is still the largest landlord in Nice City.

However, it is just such a huge chamber of commerce. Its controlling family, the Dolby family, believes in evil gods. Not only does it conduct sacrifices in its family’s manor, but even the real estate it controls has buried a lot of blasphemy. .

Such a huge evil force is naturally the focus of this attack. Even in order to prevent the Dolby family from doing the same thing, several churches that participated in the encirclement and suppression operations also sent their own high-level priests of paladins and archbishops. Inside is holding saint bones and artifacts.

Now that the entire Dolby family has been killed or arrested, they are waiting for the trial, and their industry naturally falls into the hands of the city council. According to previous management, the city council will not directly conduct commercial operations. Therefore, these industries will inevitably be auctioned after things calm down. This is undoubtedly a big coveted cake for all chambers of commerce.

This is only the Dolby Group, and there are many other chambers of commerce and nobles that are related to the evil forces this time, and they have all been arrested.

In addition, the underground forces hidden in the city can't escape the fate of being purged. Although the industries of these underground forces cannot be compared with a large chamber of commerce, the actual wealth they hold is no greater than those. There are few chambers of commerce, and this wealth has undoubtedly fallen into the hands of the city council.

Someone has tried to estimate how much property, materials and wealth the city council has confiscated in the last few days of the cleanup operations. The final figure is staggering. Even the most conservative figure is equivalent to more than 20 years in Nice. Tax.

For other chambers of commerce, although it is impossible for them to eat meat, it is still good to have some soup, and just the real estate soup is enough to support these chambers of commerce, not to mention there are other products such as products from various countries. , Storage of food and other materials, these can definitely make every chamber of commerce involved in this matter make a lot of money.

So after entering the city of Nice, the owners and supervisors of the various chambers of commerce have just booked a room for temporary residence in the hotel, they can't wait to find their relationship in Nice, trying to inquire about the details of the auction.

When the cleanup operation began to enter its final stage, and the city council and the church were satisfied with the operation, some rumors that worried them began to spread in the city of Nice.

In the rumors, it was mentioned that the city council and the church's action to clean up heretics has nothing to do with heretics and heretics. They are only interested in the wealth accumulated by these chambers of commerce, urban aristocrats, and underground forces over the years, so they looked for it. An excuse to rob these wealth blatantly.

Such rumors are of no use to officials, nobles, and rich people who understand the situation. They can easily see that such rumors are simply untenable, because many of the people being purged are still city council members and members. Officials, and come from different factions, several of them are more known for their integrity and integrity. If they are really directed at the wealth of these people as the rumors say, what will the other members and officials in the city council be like? Do you worry about being the next person to be cleansed? In that case, these people will definitely not sit back and die, and the entire city of Nice will be in chaos.

However, this kind of rumor that can be easily seen through is widely spread among the people at the bottom. They all believe that this rumor is not groundless. Although it cannot be fully believed, it will definitely not be all false.

Therefore, when they saw that the big people who were originally aloft were put to jail, they felt pleasure in their hearts, but also had a strong sense of worry. They felt that since the big people are so miserable, what if things fall to them? What ability do they have to resist?

For a time, the entire city of Nice did not regain its vitality due to the end of the ban. The bottom of the city fell into an inexplicable panic, and the trust of city residents in the city council dropped to 50% unprecedentedly. the following.

It should be known that before the incident, the trust of the Nice City Council among the people was still 87%. Although it is not the highest, it is also in the top ten. It lost 3% in just four days. ten.

This also made the city council doubt whether these rumors were deliberately spread by the remaining heroic families of the Acropolis, the purpose of which is to get rid of the state of fame of the heroic family of the Acropolis and control the real power of the city.

Their suspicion is not unfounded, because these heroic families of the Acropolis have not been reconciled to the fact that they only have a false name and cannot intervene in the real power of the city, so they have been trying to enter the city council at all levels of management, and even recently In the past few years, it was also required to establish an honorary member seat in the city council to allow them to supervise the city council’s parliamentary order.

The reason why the city council will carry out such a large-scale heresy purge is because of the Mosi troupe incident related to the heroes of the Acropolis. As a result, the entire investigation and search work was completely out of the control of the city council, resulting in an infinite expansion of the targets of the attack, and finally became what it is now.

Although the city council has also benefited a lot from the cleansing operation, at least there will be no fear of funding gaps for urban development in the next few years, but most of its reputation has been lost because of this operation.

Now in Nice, there is a saying that the heroic family of the Acropolis will come forward to form a new city council, and this argument seems to have been recognized by a large number of citizens.

Although the members of the city council do not need to pay attention to the demands of the bottom people of Nice most of the time, when the election year comes, these bottom people with voting rights will be different. If at that time the Acropolis hero family let them control If the people who have the qualifications to run for the city council can participate in the election, then these councillors in the city council may be in danger.

As a result, within the city of Nice, which has always been known for its unity, began to gradually form a monster called Infighting. Regardless of the final result, the fortified city wall of Nice has also been cracked by this monster, and it is an irreparable crack. , I am afraid that this will also become the fatal key to the city of Nice.

However, Leo, who caused all this chaos, has already boarded their cruise ship with Sylvia and Petunia. It will not be long before Leo will leave the city of Nice, and perhaps he will never come back again in the future.

Regarding the situation in the city of Nice, Leo, whose spiritual network has penetrated every part of the city, is naturally well aware of it. He even knows that those city councils are launching purge operations for the wealth of others, and that the heroic family of the Acropolis wants to take the opportunity to grasp the real power. Who made the rumors of this kind and who spread them, but his level of concern for these things is not even comparable to that of the so-called cruise ship he is currently on.

In Leo's opinion, since the cruise ship Sanctuary can be called the most luxurious and largest cruise ship, it should be like the ship in the world of Velen, but it is quite another matter to actually see it.

It’s true that this cruise ship is called the most luxurious and largest, because only this cruise ship on the pier is five-storey high, the interior and exterior decorations are extremely luxurious, and the passengers are all rich people, but this ship is an extremely backward flat-bottomed ship. The side-wheel inland river ferry, you can see at a glance that it should be a modified ship.

The Liszt River is an inland river, the river is very spacious, but the water is very shallow, not suitable for deep-bottomed boats, but the kind of flat-bottomed boats that have been eliminated in other places, very suitable for navigating on this kind of river. So on the Liszt River, there are basically some flat-bottomed boats.

Most of these flat-bottomed boats are made of wood. People here are accustomed to finding relatively well-preserved timber after the ship breaks down, and dismantling it and replacing it with a new ship for use. It is called the inheritance of the ship’s soul. , But the consequence of this is that the new ship is mixed with old wood, causing the new and old wood to corrode differently after the ship has been used for a long time, and there will be unpredictable dark injuries.

The Sanctuary that Leo is currently on board is just such a flat-panel with the old and new. After scanning through the spiritual network, Leo discovered at least 50 hidden dangers, including more than a dozen hidden injuries on the keel and other vital parts. This also made him doubt that the ship could finally reach the port of Saint-Pelia.

However, even so, Leo and the others did not change their ships. It was not that they did not want to change, but that all the other ships were full of tourists leaving Nice, not a single empty ship.

For this reason, Leo had to go through every hidden wound before the ship left the dock, and planted a reinforcement wizard rune array, so that this luxurious cruise ship could safely reach its final destination. As for whether the ship will fall apart during the voyage, it is not his control.

"Do you think that crazy knight will come again?" Sylvia, who was sitting by the window enjoying the view of the pier, suddenly asked when Leo strengthened the ship and returned to his cabin.

"I don't know." Leo shook his head and replied.

There is a place in the city of Nice that his spiritual network cannot penetrate. That place is the sanctuary of the False Heart Church. In the temple with weird architecture, there is an extremely powerful twisting force. The power will directly twist the power into another power when the spiritual net approaches. The most intuitive manifestation is that some rainbow-like rays of light appear above the sanctuary of the False Heart. The light of uukanshu.com is the distorted power in Leo's spiritual network.

From that night on, Joan, except for the first day and the other church knights to cooperate with the city council to remove the heresy from the city, for the next few days he stayed in the sanctuary of the False Heart, so Leo is not clear about his situation now. .

However, for Leo, it doesn't matter whether Qiao An follows or not. If he follows, he will only have one more test subject and a few more test subjects, and there will be no major losses.

A little bit of time passed, the Sanctuary had completed its supplies, and the passengers had arrived. With two whistle sounds, the hull was gradually moved away from the dock under the push of the crew struts.

At this moment, a man in church knight armor rushed to the edge of the pier at a very fast speed, and suddenly ran out from the crowd. Then he jumped up and hit the fragile stern deck of the Sanctuary like a falling rock. On, it caused a series of exclamations.

"It seems that he finally caught up." Sylvia, who witnessed this scene, said to Leo, who was instructing Penny to perform psionic training in the cabin.
