The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Baron Bernando is the head of the Matouwan development team. As the Matouwan affairs officer, he can be said to be the right-hand man of the Matouwan Governor. Basically, everyone who understands the development history of Matouwan has to admit that if Without his assistance, Matouwan would not have been established so smoothly. The governor of Matouwan knew this very well, so he gave him a lot of trust in terms of power. But he is the second person in Matouwan, and his power is only slightly worse than the governor.

Everyone, including the governor, thinks that this should be worthy of Bernando's contribution, and Bernando should be able to be satisfied, but in fact Bernando is not satisfied at all, what he wants is not these, what he wants is more More and more complete power, not just the second in command of Matouwan.

So in the past few years, he has been constantly organizing and developing things. There are also five pioneering groups formed, but the results are very small and the losses are great, so that the governor of Matou Tianwan no longer supports his development plan. .

For this reason, he had to look for partners outside, and as a result, the current development team came into being.

Although the formation of the pioneering team this time seems to be led by Matouwan, in fact Matouwan only took up a title and did some auxiliary work. Bernando's real collaborator is the Royal Family of Root.

Regarding Bernando's plan to circumvent himself, find the royal family of Root, and carry out the plan to colonize the New World, the governor of Matouwan did not say anything, nor did he secretly play tricks to disrupt the formation of the pioneer group, but instead fully cooperated with the establishment of the pioneer group. , just like the pioneering group he formed himself.

For the cooperation of the Governor of Matou Bay, the Root royal family is naturally happy, thinking that the governor of Matou Bay is showing weakness, which also means that the royal family has the opportunity to infiltrate the interior of Matou Bay, but Bernando is very worried because he is very concerned about the The governor of Matouwan understands his temperament very well, and he knows that the other party is definitely not the kind of person who likes to suffer. He looks very calm and cooperative now, so the revenge will also come more violently at some point in the future, so he started to form the pioneering team From the moment he started, Bernando was wary of the assassination of his former friend, but it turned out that until the pioneering team was formed and officially set off, the revenge he guessed did not appear.

However, after setting off, the pioneering group encountered an attack from an indigenous tribe, and suffered heavy losses, which made Bernando subconsciously associate this attack with the Governor of Matouwan, but he quickly denied this guess, because He knew very well that the Governor of Matou Bay was a colonist through and through. In his eyes, the native tribes in the New World were no different than livestock. With his pride, it was absolutely impossible to lower his head and cooperate with the native tribes.

But now that he came to this front-end camp that was nominally used to develop the colony, he encountered difficulties from the camp, which made him quickly realize that the revenge of the governor of Matou Bay should be here.

It would be inappropriate to say that it was revenge. It would be more appropriate to use the word "make things difficult". He had just met the general in charge of the camp. During the conversation, the other party used hints to convey the meaning of the governor of Matouwan to him. The governor of Matouwan will not give any support to this pioneering group, including material support, and will not allow the pioneering camp to cooperate with their pioneering group. Everything can only rely on the existing manpower and material resources of the pioneering group. It also shows that there will be no other means of making things difficult. Whether he can use this pioneering group to open up a safe zone enough to establish a colony depends on his own means.

Obviously, the governor of Matouwan did this in consideration of the friendship that Bernando had assisted him in establishing Matouwan over the years, and it was also expressly expressing that if Bernando's development plan failed this time, he had to leave the New World and get lost. When he returned to the Novat continent, he would not keep Bernando here to continue making trouble and interfere with his plans and career.

Bernando has a wealth of experience in developing colonies. He is well aware that the huge loss of personnel caused by the sneak attack of the indigenous tribes has greatly affected the morale of the pioneering group. The best way now is to increase the rest time and let the pioneers Recover from the negative emotions of being hit, and at the same time go back to Matouwan to recruit more people. As long as there are new people joining and the development team has enough people, then the blows encountered before will soon disappear. .

But now the governor of Matouwan will not give him any possibility to change the situation, not to mention recruiting people from Matouwan again, I am afraid he will not even give them time to rest in the camp, only a day or two at most At that time, the general in charge of the camp will find an excuse to expel the pioneering group from the camp, and then lose the protection of the camp. In the jungle outside, the possibility of encountering danger will increase rapidly, and being in danger at all times is not good for morale recovery.

Now for Bernando, the plan of the Pioneering Corps has reached a dead end this time, and he seems to have no way to solve any of the problems at hand, so when he had a meeting with the officers of the Pioneering Corps, he had to guide the discussion direction a little bit. Other than that, he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. After returning to his tent, the depression in his heart was not suppressed any more, and all of it was released, making him sit on the chair like a stone sculpture in a daze.

"Master, there is an adventurer named Joe who wants to see you outside." Just when Bernando fell into depression, Bernando's servant suddenly opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, saying respectfully.

The servant's words pulled Bernando out of his negative emotions. He quickly restrained the abnormal emotions that appeared on his face, and restored himself to a normal state. He murmured, "That Joe who is full of lies? Why did he come to see me?"

Bernando had a very bad impression of Joe. The reason for his bad impression was not only Joe's bad reputation, but also because Joe had used his exaggerated and untrue false adventures to deceive his A friend came to the New World for an adventure, which eventually led to the death of his friend in the New World.

He knew that Joe came to Matou Bay to join his pioneering team. Originally, he wanted to drive Joe away, but the person in charge of the pioneering team from the Royal House of Root seemed to be caught by Joe's lies. He was lied to, thinking that Joe was useful to the pioneering group, so he bypassed him and let Joe join the pioneering group.

Bernando didn't say anything about it. After all, he didn't need to fall out with the Royal Family of Root for a small person, so he just ordered his subordinates to take Joe far away after the pioneering group started, as if it didn't exist. That's it.

Presumably, Joe should also know his attitude towards him, but now he came out extremely abnormally and wanted to see him, which made him feel a little puzzled.

Originally, Bernando planned to ask his servants to drive Joe away, so he didn't plan to see this liar, but before he gave the order, Joe who was waiting outside the tent seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said loudly: "Bernando My lord, I came to see you mainly to help you get out of your current predicament, and to show your pioneering group a clear path, if you drive me away now, then you will lose the only chance to help you get out of your current predicament."

Hearing Joe's words, Bernando felt very annoyed in his heart, and immediately wanted to reprimand Joe loudly, but soon he calmed down again, thought carefully about Joe's words, and after a moment of silence, he signaled to the servant that he would Joe led in.

Afterwards, he saw Joe in an adventure hunting suit walking in under the leadership of his servants. At this moment, he felt that something was wrong with the Joe in front of him. A little self-confidence and arrogance, and a little humble attitude towards nobles between the brows, and this change made him a little unhappy.

Bernando raised his hand to signal that the servant could leave, and after only he and Joe were left in the tent, he said, "I don't know how you know that I'm in some trouble now, and I don't know you What is the ability to help me, even if you have the ability, with your reputation, how can I trust you?"

Joe didn't care about Bernando's distrust of him at all, and said with a smile: "You can see me, and you already believe that I have the ability to help you."

Bernando looked at Joe coldly, and said, "I saw you because of your royal introducer."

Qiao confirmed: "So you hope to contact that highness through me, and ask that highness to help you through the current difficulties?"

Bernando didn't answer, but just looked at Joe silently, as if acquiescing to Joe's speculation.

Qiao smiled lightly and said, "You may be disappointed. The reason why that Highness is willing to help me join your pioneering team is because that Highness owes me a favor. The relationship between me and that Highness is not the same. Your Excellency is as close as you think, I have only met that Highness twice, even if I contacted that Highness, that Highness will not help you, he will only think that you are incapable, and then use this to send someone again Take over your position, so that any achievements of this pioneering group will have nothing to do with you, I don't think you want to see this happen, do you?"

Bernando's face became a little embarrassed. Obviously, he also agreed with Joe's deduction. He really couldn't get other support from the Root royal family, and now there were not many ways left for him.

Joe emphasized his tone at this time, and said, "As I said just now, I can help you get out of your current predicament."

Bernando frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What can you do for me?"

Joe said: "Find a new, capable partner."

"A new partner?" Bernando didn't immediately deny Joe's words, because what Joe said happened to be in line with the solution he thought of to solve the predicament, but a new partner was not so easy to find.

First of all, the new partner must have the strength to help him get out of the current predicament. Secondly, the new partner must not have too strong ability. He should focus on turning against customers and seize his control over the pioneering group. Finally, there is the issue of the distribution of benefits from the final results of the pioneering group. .

All in all, finding a new partner is not simply a matter of finding a capable person. It needs to go through multiple considerations and long-term negotiations. It is definitely not possible to reach a cooperation in a short period of time, so in his opinion The new collaborators simply cannot solve the current problems.

However, Joe seemed to see through Bernando's thoughts, and said: "Please rest assured, the new partner I found for you is not only strong enough, but also will not compete for your control over the Pioneering Group, and the final They can also take a step back in the distribution of benefits."

"It's so good, so who are these good people? Can you tell me?" Bernando obviously didn't believe Joe's words, and asked in a deep voice with a disdainful smile on his face.

Joe didn't dislike Bernando's attitude, he just smiled, and then said seriously: "The new collaborator I found for you is the New World Civilization Research Association under the Nature Association."

"Natural Association?" Bernando was slightly taken aback when he heard this, with a pensive look on his face.

Although the name of the Nature Association is very simple, the members of this organization are not. Its original founder is unknown. Some people speculate that it is the Principality of Sosiya, which is famous for its forests in the inland kingdom of the Novat continent. Because This principality is very respectful of nature, and there is also a public organization similar to nature protection in the principality. The leaders of the organization are all successive Dukes of Sosia, and this organization and the Nature Association often cooperate in various ways, which shows that the relationship between the two is extremely close. Although this speculation has been circulating on the Novat continent for a long time, Grand Duke Sosia never admitted it.

Although the establishment purpose of the Nature Association is to understand the world and protect nature, most of the people who join the Nature Association and occupy the top positions of the Association are wealthy and powerful nobles from various countries in the Novat continent. These nobles use their wealth and power to win over a large number of people. Scholars, sponsor these scholars to set up various research projects, and then name them on these projects, so that they can gain a lot of reputation in various academic circles.

With the emergence of the New World, various things emerged that had never existed in the past, so the nobles of the Nature Association also set their sights on the New World, not only taking the initiative to fund a team of various adventurers, but even some nobles Involved in it personally, that friend of Bernando's was one of them.

The Nature Association is also one of the new collaborators that Bernando thought of, but since his friend died in the adventure of the New World, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no relationship with the Nature Association, and he wants to contact Natural associations are also difficult, so in the list of cooperation partners, natural associations were put behind by him.

Now, Joe claimed that he was able to make the Nature Society his new collaborator, which made him immediately adjust the name of the Nature Society from the bottom of the list to the top of the list, and consider the pros and cons of cooperating with it.

After careful consideration, Bernando found that the Natural Society was the best choice for him as his new partner, because judging from the past reputation of the Natural Society, the expeditions and pioneering teams they would support all contributed money and efforts, and would not send people. Command blindly, fight for control, and in the end, they also pay more attention to the reputation brought by the income, and are not too interested in other things.

Thinking of this, Bernando couldn't help asking Joe: "What do I need to pay?"

Seeing Bernando's performance, Joe showed a smile on his face, then took out the gold statue of the abyss serpent that Leo had shown before, and said, "It's very simple, you just need to send someone to assist you after opening up a colony point." The association studies the civilizations of the indigenous tribes.”
