The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Hurry up..." Just as the wine merchants from the south gathered together to discuss whether to live outside the city for a while to avoid the chaos in the city, a member of the wine merchants association suddenly rushed in from the outside in a big mouth Panting, he said, "Outside, outside..."

Seeing that the wine merchant couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, the other wine merchants became anxious. They thought that things outside had turned into a riot, so they quickly grabbed the wine merchant and asked anxiously, "Is there a riot outside?" ? Has trouble come here already?"

"No, no!" The wine merchant quickly shook his head, panted heavily, took notes, stabilized his breath and emotions, and said, "There is a monster in the sky outside."

"Monster?" The man-eating monster from a few days ago immediately appeared in everyone's minds, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

"It's not that kind of monster!" The wine merchant seemed to know what was going on in everyone's minds. He shook his head quickly, then pointed outside, and said, "I don't know how to describe it. Just go out and see."

After speaking, he ran out again regardless of other people's reactions. Everyone looked at each other with doubts on their faces, and followed them out.

After walking out, they saw everyone on the street looking up at the sky with shocked expressions on their faces.

Seeing this situation, everyone also looked up, and after being blinded by the short-term light, they quickly saw the scene of the sky clearly and saw the huge monster called the flying monster.

"Airship, it's an airship!" A knowledgeable person immediately exclaimed loudly after seeing the unique and strange shape of the flying monster.

Although not everyone present had seen airships, they had all heard of airships. After all, they had all heard of Miria’s tragedy, and the role played by airships in that battle was extraordinary. , many sober-minded people believe that airships will definitely change the situation of the world, just like when steam weapons appeared and knights began to withdraw from the main battlefield.

Now it is discovered that there is an airship in the air, and it is flying towards this side, and it is gradually descending. It seems that it is going to land in the city. Everyone is extremely excited and novel about this matter.

Among these people, those businessmen are more aware of the commercial value of this airship. There is no doubt that if this airship is used to transport goods, it will definitely reduce a lot of troubles and obstacles that will be encountered on the road, and it will also save a lot of time. .

This also made them eager to get to know the owner of the airship and talk to him about the use or production of the airship.

The appearance of the airship also attracted the attention of the city hall. While they were puzzled by the arrival of the airship, they were also grateful, because the conflict between the military police and the public had caused a commotion just now, and things had become extremely tense. There may be a fight, but now the appearance of the airship immediately attracted everyone's attention, relieving the pressure just now.

Although this is only temporary, it at least gives them a lot of time to report the situation here to the higher authorities and let them give them a solution.

However, even though they should be focusing on the chaos in the city, they are also very interested in the airship that landed in the air, so the officials of the city hall sent people to follow the airship that was slowly landing. Once the airship landed, let People control it there, and other people, especially those foreign businessmen, cannot be allowed to approach.

The airship descended very quickly. It was originally just a small dot in the sky, but it soon became as big as a house. Many people could already see the rivets on the pod below the airship.

In the end, the airship flew over half of Kewu, and landed slowly on the large square in the business district.

The moment the airship landed, the military police dispatched by the city hall had already surrounded the square, preventing others from approaching.

As the cockpit slowly opened, an aristocratic woman in a gorgeous fur coat and a tall man in full body armor hadn't stepped down from the airship's cockpit.

The people present were a little puzzled when they saw these two people, because the clothes of these two people were really different from the clothes in the current world.

For example, the fur coat that the woman is wearing looks like it is made of a kind of animal skin. It has an ancient style, and there are a lot of beautiful and mysterious patterns on it. Never seen it on anyone else.

The other tall man was completely wearing an extremely gorgeous full-body armor, even his head was covered by a helmet, and there were two big swords on his body, no matter how you looked at it, it was against the clothes of this era, even Even ancient knights could not wear such armor.

As the biggest official on the scene, the gendarmerie captain immediately stepped forward to ask the other party's identity.

But before the captain of the gendarmerie could speak, the female nobleman said in a domineering tone: "I am Sylvia Belmont of France, and I am the guest of your queen. This is the pass issued by your palace minister. Now My airship needs to rest here for a day, I hope you can send someone to maintain it here, don't let my airship suffer any damage, understand?"

Hearing the commanding tone of the female nobleman, although the captain of the gendarmerie was a little displeased, he could feel an inexplicable pressure from Sylvia, and this kind of pressure even the mayor did not have.

For a moment, he subconsciously believed that the other party's words were true, so he restrained his displeasure, and did not dare to say anything disrespectful. He silently accepted the pass that Sylvia handed over as if he was doing business, and looked at it. After checking the authenticity of the pass, he immediately bowed to Sylvia, handed back the pass in his hand, and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely send someone to protect your airship."

"In addition, my people need to buy some supplies. I would like to ask you to send someone to help with the purchase." Sylvia took out a leather bag from her pocket, and then took out a large amount of cash check from the State-owned Bank of Daliyat and handed it In the past, he said: "All the expenses required for supplies will be deducted from here, and you can decide what to do with the rest!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for any response from the other party, he and Leo walked out of the square. For some reason, those people around the square felt it when Sylvia walked over. An inexplicable pressure, they lowered their heads one after another, and spontaneously moved out of the way.

After Sylvia left, the gendarmerie captain opened the cash check and looked at it. The digital glasses on it were widened. In his opinion, even if the entire airship was filled with various supplies, the money on it would It is impossible to spend all the cash, and at least one-third or more can be kept. This is definitely his biggest windfall this year or even in the past few decades.

Under the influence of great interests and power, the captain of the gendarmerie was naturally very serious about protecting the airship. He immediately called a few capable men, took them with them, and brought all the equipment to protect the airship. The people on the airship ordered to supply supplies. After doing all these things, he thought of going to the city hall to report the situation, so he rushed to the city hall immediately, found the mayor and others who happened to be holding a meeting to discuss the relocation of the freaks out of the city, and brought Sylvia's Briefly introduce yourself and why you are here.

"You mean that woman taught Sylvia Belmont?" The mayor immediately thought of something after hearing the gendarmerie captain's statement, and asked confirmingly, "Is it a Frenchman?"

The captain of the gendarmerie nodded and affirmed: "Yes, when she introduced herself, she was Sylvia Belmont from France."

"Mr. Mayor, do you know her?" A nobleman looked at the mayor in puzzlement and asked.

"I've heard of her name." The mayor nodded and said, "She should be the same kind of person as our Queen, or even a member of the same mysterious organization."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasped.

Although not all the people present knew the queen's identity as a witch, they all knew that the queen possessed an extremely powerful power comparable to that of a god, and that the queen was also a member of a mysterious organization dominated by women. A powerful and mysterious force. It is said that the king-chosen of the Marris Kingdom in the south is a member of this organization. When the queen ascended the throne, it was also because of the assistance of the members of this organization.

There have been many people who have been inquiring about the details of this organization, but they have found nothing. The only thing they know is that this organization is very large. Almost the entire world of Velen has their members. Only a very few people know that this organization is Witches, is An organization formed by uniting witches who were taught to hunt in ancient times.

Although many of the nobles of Daliat were very curious about the organization of this witch group and wanted to find out its deeper secrets, in the end they either disappeared out of thin air, or were punished by the queen and kicked out of Daliat's circle of power .

"It seems that this airship will probably have to watch it fly away." A nobleman said regretfully.

Although Sylvia is not their boss, nor is she a dignitary in Deliyat's own country, she is not a person to be provoked just because she is a member of the same mysterious organization as Her Majesty the Queen, so everyone present just now It was also discussed how to get the airship, and the people who made it through the research all backed down.

A young official who had just been promoted from the bottom because of his military merits frowned, and said to the nobles present, "What's the matter? Although she is the same type of person as His Majesty, she may not have a good relationship with His Majesty, and this airship has something to do with it." Regarding the improvement of national strength, as long as we obtain the secret of the airship, even if we did something wrong in the process, I believe Her Majesty the Queen will not blame us."

After hearing the young official's words, all the nobles present looked at the young official with strange eyes, as if looking at some incredible monster again.

An old nobleman unceremoniously reprimanded the young official, saying: "Do you think we care about the fact that that woman is a member of the same secret organization as Her Majesty the Queen? I really don't know how your brain can get on In this position, can't she even move her brain? What we care about is that she has the same mysterious power as Her Majesty the Queen."

Just as the young official was about to refute the words of the old nobleman, a colleague pulled his clothes and told him not to say anything more.

At this time, the old nobleman continued: "Your generation only knows that Her Majesty is worthy of awe, but you don't know why we respect Her Majesty so much! Because you have never seen Her Majesty when she is angry. If you see If I had been here, I wouldn’t have asked such a stupid question just now.”

While talking, some old nobles and senior officials in the conference room nodded involuntarily, while other young officials, although not directly accused, felt that they were being scolded, and their faces became a little ugly.

"Ahem! Alright, don't talk about this matter." The mayor coughed twice at this time, relieving the stagnant atmosphere around him, and then concluded: "Since this Ms. Sylvia is a guest of Her Majesty the Queen, We must take good care of it, and we must not make people think that we Daliyat people do not understand etiquette." Then, he turned to the captain of the gendarmerie and said, "Just do what she tells you, and don't be too enthusiastic. That’s right, just treat it as a normal foreign mission. Also, don’t let the commotion in the city disturb this lady, I don’t want her to describe the situation here as chaotic when she sees Her Majesty the Queen, understand?”

"Yes, Mr. Mayor." The captain of the gendarmerie nodded, then turned and walked out of the conference hall.

At the same time, Sylvia and Leo came to a private club called Thorn Club located in the city's business district. She showed a metal card at the door, and the big man waiting at the door respectfully led them to the In a very large villa behind the clubhouse.

After the big man sent them to the door, he turned and left. At this time, Leo turned his head and looked around, and said with a smile: "This place is very well protected, but is it necessary?"

It turns out that there are a large number of guards lurking around this villa at the moment, and each guard has a strong smell of blood. It seems that they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. The clubhouse acts as a guard, and only Her Majesty the Queen can do it.

Sylvia stuffed the metal card in her hand into the card slot next to the gate, and said: "Although this is Deliyat, there will always be some reckless people who will do something unexpected, and they don't As low-key as we are..."

"Low-key? I didn't expect you, Sylvia, to say that you are low-key. If you are low-key, then what are we, are we in the mud?" At this time, the door opened, followed by a hoarse, but But an extremely magnetic voice came from inside the door.
