Struggle in the Steam Age

Because the cause of the death of Lawrence's two cousins ​​has not been clarified for the time being, the atmosphere in the living room has become depressed again. But soon Lawrence thought of another question and asked the two judges. "I remember that there was a baron in the capital who died in exactly the same way as my uncle. Have you investigated him?"

"We went to investigate naturally, but we didn't find anything in common with your uncle except that the baron was also a court noble sent by the emperor. For example, although they are both court nobles from the most basic level, that The baron has been a court noble from the first generation, and is completely different from your uncle."

"So that's the case." Lawrence nodded and suddenly looked at the two judges and asked. "Then you came here today just to inform us of the news?"

"No, of course not." The two judges shook their heads at the same time and said, "We are here mainly to collect more information, because the victims of this incident are all nobles, and they are likely to involve those dangerous people. The supernatural power. So now our court has to carefully check every place where there may be clues, such as the place where the victim lived."

Lawrence and his son nodded after listening to the judge's words. Thinking about it, too, the work of these judges is often very busy, and even many 007s are normal. It is enough for the royal family to send an envoy to notify the death of the heir of the earl's family, instead of sending two judges from the court to do this.

Next, the two judges, accompanied by Lambert and the others, inspected the place where the earl and his two sons lived and where they often moved. In addition, they also used some kind of magical props to check the entire Earl's manor. However, as Lawrence guessed before, it was obviously impossible for the black hand behind the scenes to leave a loophole in this place, and the results of this inspection did not find anything.

After tossing until noon, the two judges who obviously found nothing in the inspection bid farewell to Lawrence and the others and prepared to return to the capital. But at this moment, Lawrence stopped them and suggested: "The feeling of waiting for the news at home is too bad. I want to follow you to the capital to see my uncle and my two cousins. Maybe I can help you guys." busy."

Out of disbelief about criminal investigation methods other than extraordinary methods in this era, Lawrence proposed to the two judges the idea of ​​following them to the capital for inspection. After all, he now has some criminal investigation methods that have never existed in this world that he learned from TV dramas and the Internet in his previous life. Maybe he can see clues that others have not discovered.

"This—" The two judges looked at each other with some hesitation. In fact, under such circumstances, it is very normal for noble families to wish to send someone to follow the situation. Especially now that the earl himself and the first and second heirs in line were all killed inexplicably, they felt that it was normal for someone like Lawrence, who was likely to be the next assassination target, to choose to hide in a place that seemed safer.

But the problem is that the Tribunal is not allowed to get involved in politics in order to maintain its independent status. One of the very important points in the rules of the Tribunal is to only deal with those supernatural forces that threaten the entire civilized world. All must reduce interference with the internal affairs of intelligent beings.

In order to abide by this principle, they will minimize their dealings with nobles. Because nobles are more likely than ordinary people to create differences among intelligent creatures. The identities of Mr. Lambert and Lawrence are now vague. Although it does not violate the principles of the referee to let Lawrence enter the referee to participate in such incidents, it still needs to bear certain risks.

Therefore, if Lawrence wants to achieve his goal, he must find a way to convince the two judges to make them realize that the benefits of his participation in this matter far outweigh the possible risks. In this regard, Lawrence felt that he had enough leverage.

"I'm a medical expert, and I once proposed the theory of microbial pathogens. At the same time, because of my medical contributions, I have obtained the status of a member of the Federal Science Association of the White Eagle Federation—"

Lawrence thought that the other party would definitely not reject the joining of a medical expert at such a time, but what he hadn't expected was that he interrupted him to say Then asked eagerly: "Are you the doctor who proposed the disinfection theory?"

"Yes, it's me." Lawrence nodded and looked at the agitated judge in front of him, feeling a little puzzled. After all, unlike ordinary people, these judges can enjoy all kinds of supernatural drugs and Treatment services, coupled with the fact that the body is much better than ordinary people, theoretically speaking, basically there will be no such thing as wound infection.

So Lawrence never felt that these extraordinary people would have any intersection with his research, but seeing the excited attitude of the judge in front of him now, Lawrence felt that there might be some mistakes in his understanding of the world.

"Thank you very much, you have saved our logistics department a lot of time." The young judge said, "Our work will inevitably lead to frequent injuries, although we also know that the wounds need to be cleaned during the long-term battle." , but because we don’t know the specific situation inside, we often have to take extraordinary measures to solve the problem of wound infection. However, the cost will be very high.”

"Fortunately, after you proposed the theory of microbial infection, we read this paper for the first time, and then disinfected the wound according to the disinfection method described in it. Since then, we judges basically don't need to waste those extraordinary medical resources. in fighting infection."

It is also for this reason that the two judges agreed to Lawrence's request to investigate the incident with them, so Lawrence followed the two judges and left the Earl's Palace in Sauer to Wendobona, the capital of the empire, to find those who might New evidence exists.

Before leaving the Earl's Mansion, Mr. Lambert specially paid several hundred yuan to Lawrence and told him not to worry about things here, and it was enough for him to leave everything about Sauer to himself. If you run out of money, call him and ask him for it. Don't be too casual when you go out, and don't toss yourself just to save money.

After bidding farewell to his father, Mr. Lambert, Lawrence followed the two judges to the train station in a carriage. Then take the steam train straight to Ventobona.

Wendobona is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. It was established in this area when the first and last human empire that unified the western part of the old continent, the ancient empire that called itself the Senate and the People, was established. On the land, but it was for the Visby people, the ancestors of the current owner of the city.

But in the long history, Ventobona has gradually become a center of trade and cultural exchange in the region. If all goes well, Ventobona could theoretically become a thriving commercial city.

But when the dark age reached its peak, only the last bastion remained of the ancient empire that once unified the old continent, and it was also the holy city, the greatest city in the west of the old continent at that time. However, under the siege of endless dark creatures, the holy city finally fell, while other countries in the western part of the old continent refused to provide assistance for their own interests as if their minds were controlled by demons.

After the fall of the holy city, the immigrants of that empire embarked on an epic expedition on board the last magic ship left over from the most glorious era of that empire, and this expedition was called "the second odyssey" in history.

Thankfully, fate has not played tricks on those poor people who have lost their country. After experiencing a series of risks, they finally landed successfully in the New World. And after hundreds of years of hard work, the Elysian Empire was established and stood tall in the world again.
