The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 79: Rupert's plan?

In the commercial area, there are many buildings that can be called iconic buildings. For the local residents of Miria City, only one building can represent the luxury and prosperity of the commercial area. This building is a 200-story Xinghai Hotel.

The designer of Xinghai Hotel is the famous Velin designer Belmiki. The sky temple of Megalija, the Cleopatra of Savile and the Red Tower Square of the Kingdom of Marais are all classic examples of Velon architecture and are all architects. Objects competing to imitate.

Ten years ago, the owner of the Xinghai Hotel, the philanthropist Rupert Fitz, set a high price and invited Belmiki, who had been reclusive, to re-enter the mountain, designing and supervising the construction of this gorgeous hotel, and Belmiki also Because the construction of this hotel was exhausting, it died the next day after the completion of the hotel, which also made this hotel a legacy of Belmiki, adding a touch of mystery.

The whole hotel is made of all-steel structure, and it is made of special steel of the Kingdom of Marais. Even a large steel-producing country like the Kingdom of Marais does not produce a lot of special steel every year. Most of them are manufactured by the Kingdom of Marais for steam ships and steam airships, and Xinghai Hotel was able to get so many special features. Pingang is the face of Belmiki.

The outer wall of Xinghai Hotel is the same as most of the high-end hotels today, but the special glass of Xinghai Hotel is different. When Belmiki made glass, he added a kind of American and Californian independence to the glass. There is fluorite with little output.

This kind of fluorite can absorb a lot of outside light and heat in the daytime, and it will be released at night, making the whole hotel be surrounded by starlight. This is the name of the Xinghai Hotel.

In addition, the interior decoration, furniture, etc. of the hotel are all extravagant, so that there is a saying in Miria City, that is to stay in the room of the Xinghai Hotel for a night in your life, and you will laugh when you die. go away.

However, the owner of Xinghai Hotel is now on the top floor of the hotel and the most expensive king suite, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire city of Milia like a god, without a smile on his face.

Behind him, stood dozens of Miriam dignitaries wearing various high-end costumes, looked down like a taught child, waiting for the master's thunder anger.

The room remained silent for a while, and the majestic Rupert spoke to these mainland parliamentary officials who secretly funded him, asking: "I would like to know why the parliament passed the complaint so quickly? Why didn't you stop it?"

"Mr. Fitz, we stopped it, but the meeting was chaired by the speaker himself, and the members of the meeting seemed to have negotiated, and we passed the indictment issue before we responded, and we were powerless." One of them The dignitaries stood up and explained to you.

If someone familiar with officials at all levels of the mainland parliament is in this room, he will surely recognize that the nobleman who spoke is the chief referee of the mainland parliament. His responsibilities are to supervise the order of the conference, and he can drive out any members of the parliament that he believes to disrupt the conference process. And every month there is a right to veto issues, and the weight of the power is almost the same as the speaker of the meeting.

"Why didn't you use your veto power to decide the question?" Rupert turned his head and looked at the chief referee coldly, questioning.

The chief referee explained: "If you want to drive the veto power, you must first submit a veto proposal. I have prepared the veto proposal before the meeting, but the folder where the proposal was placed at the meeting was stolen, and my assistant went to get it. The backup proposal was attacked by someone on the way, and ultimately failed to prevent the indictment proposal from passing."

A dignitarian who was also a mainland parliament official argued: "This matter is premeditated. They first use the skeleton to draw your attention, and then suddenly attack, forcibly pass the issue..."

"Enough! Since you made a mistake, don't quibble, explain your mistakes are incompetent performance, think about how to make up for mistakes, how to prevent mistakes." Rupert snorted, interrupting the defense of the rich, Said: "I can allow my people to make mistakes, but incompetence is never allowed."

As Rupert's words fell, the room immediately fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not do any more excuses.

"I hope that tomorrow the issue of the duke’s special status as unsuitable to appear in court and be replaced by others can be passed smoothly. If you can’t handle this matter well, then you don’t have to sit in this position anymore. There are many People are willing to take your place." Rupert glanced coldly at everyone, turned his head and continued to look at the night view of the city of Milia, saying, "You can leave, walk from the secret passage, I don't want to be here At this time, someone was found to have a relationship with you."

These dignitaries were relieved when they heard Rupert's order, and they were glad that today's barrier passed smoothly, and they bowed back.

When these dignitaries exited the room and closed the door, a wave of light appeared in the air around Rupert, followed by a mysterious person who was covered in robes and appeared in that place. He said to Rupert: "None of these guys is credible, are you still giving things to them, aren't you afraid to mess up?"

"I've never believed them," Rupert looked very calm, without the slight annoyance on his face. "The Skeleton Club's secret safe was opened, and the books inside were taken away. They were bribed. The evidence, they think it was the two people who took it, of course they are very anxious. Now there is still a mood to do things. I am afraid that when someone brings out something related to the account book and appears in front of them, they will betray me immediately. Switch to a new owner."

"Aren't you worried?" the mysterious man asked curiously.

Rupert said expressionlessly: "They are just pawns, and all the pawns that lead me to the goal are ultimately things to be eaten. Why should they worry about them?"

"It's a cruel guy!" The mysterious man didn't seem to be afraid of Rupert. After ridiculing, he asked in a deep voice: "Do I need to help you get the account book back? You should know my ability Absolutely.

Rupert turned to look at the mysterious man coldly, and said, "When did your wizarding club become interested in this game of power?"

"Go with the times!" The mysterious man smiled.

Rupert despised each other with impunity, and said: "Unfortunately your reputation is too stinky, whoever cooperates with you will be unlucky." Then, he said, "You meet all the guys in Lanxi Something happened in the cage city, and was driven away by the Aknaya church in cage city. Although my people used the method of transferring interests, the worker leaders of cage city suppressed this matter, but according to the way you do things Going on, something will happen sooner or later. I don’t want to be distracted to help you clean up the mess when you help the Duke Lord, so before you have a result here, you still go to other countries."

"Do you want to end our cooperation?" Shen Sheng asked.

Rupert looked at the mysterious man calmly and said indifferently: "If I were to end the cooperation, I would not talk to you like this, and would drive you away directly."

The mysterious man said nothing more, leaned slightly towards Rupert and paid a tribute, then turned and walked towards the glass wall, directly hit the wall, the glass shattered at the same time he did not fall into the glass, then It disappeared, and the cracks in the glass disappeared with him.

"A group of incapable mice!" Seeing the mysterious ability of the mysterious man, Rupert didn't show any unusual expression, but instead snorted extremely disgustedly, then picked up the bell on the side coffee table and shook.

After the crisp bell rang, the door of the room was knocked. After Rupert said, a well-dressed butler came in and saluted Rupert and asked, "Master, what do you tell me? ?"

Rupert thought about it and commanded: "With the best invitation, invite all the powerful people in the city who have the ability to influence the decision of the mainland parliament. I will hold a banquet at Silver Moon Castle tomorrow night. As for the arrangement of the banquet, you decide for yourself. My request is only as satisfying as the guests present."

"Okay, sir." The butler noted Rupert's request and exited the room.

With only one person left in the room, Rupert turned to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine. He walked to the room piano with the glass and sat down very skillfully to play a cheerful tune.

It is not difficult to hear from his music that he is very happy at the moment. He is not affected by the bad situation of Duke Derwin at present. If there are others around, there may be an illusion that he can be a Duke of Derwin. The Emperor Frank did not care.

In a hotel in Yucheng District, Leo had been eating meat for three hours in a row. He hardly chewed with his teeth, so he swallowed it directly, even if his energy storage value had just exceeded 100.

The people in the hotel have gradually become numb from surprise. Even if they feel that Leo’s extraordinary food intake is not like a human, but Leo’s generous shot makes them take the initiative to ignore these unusual things. , Feel at ease to do your own thing.

When Leo swallowed all the fiftyth meal, he raised his hand to signal that the waiter who was waiting could be stopped, and then took out fifty gold **** as a tip to the waiter and the kitchen. People.

After the waiter left, he closed the door, put on his coat and other clothing, carried a backpack, pressed the hundred-flange banknotes under the ink bottle on the desk, then opened the window against the street and jumped straight down. Left this hotel.

If it weren’t for today’s actions, it would be too shocking, he would not leave this fairly good hotel, and now he needs to find a suitable temporary residence again.

Leo went to the black market first before leaving Yucheng District. The old man was responsible for receiving him.

"I want to buy some materials in Gamorei." Leo asked directly.

"No information." The old man shook his head, and then said: "But we can find someone to teach you."

"How much?" Leo asked.

"No money." The old man shook his head again and said, "Just help him go to a place and get something back."

Hearing such familiar conditions, Leo tried to confirm: "Isn't the place you are talking about nine at Golden Oak Street?"

The old man nodded.

Leo frowned and asked, "Doesn't he know only the Garmore language in this world?"

"Gamorei is a special language for ancient wizards. It is said that the language contains power comparable to gods. Ordinary people will go crazy at a glance, and they will go crazy when they hear it. Of course, these are just legends. You can listen to it, no need. Seriously," the old man explained with a smile: "But Gamore is very weird. It can't be learned with written materials. It can only be learned through one-on-one teaching. Many people in this world hope to be able to crack The mystery in the Gamore language, but it has never been successful. Although we are not sure if anyone else in the world knows the Gamore language, but only the gentleman in the known people is truly mastered Gamorei."

When Leo heard this, his face became a bit gloomy, no wonder the old man looked calm.

After being silent for a moment, Leo asked the old man: "I need detailed information about all the missing people, including servants and servants, at 9 Golden Oak Street, especially those in the dark world."

When the old man heard Leo’s request, he could not help but froze for a while, and then told him to wait, then walked to the counter and told Leo’s request to the people inside the counter. Obviously, he also heard this for the first time. Claim.

After a while, the old man came back and said, "We can get the data of these people, but in addition to the unexpected cost of the data itself, we need to pay an additional fee."

Leo looked a little displeased and questioned: "Don't you mean that all the materials at 9 Golden Oak Street are free?"

"Yes, the information on No. 9 Golden Oak Street is free." The old man smiled and said, "But isn't it No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

"how much is it?"

"One million gold flange~www.wuxiahere.com~The old man reported a number.

After Leo heard it, his glasses narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept over the old man, his eyes showing suspicion.

I got a million gold flanges from the Skull and Bones Association two days ago, and now the black market is asking for one million dollars for those materials. Such a coincidence makes Leo wonder whether the other party is deliberately trying to use this thing to test him. Is it the person who killed the president of the Skeleton Society.

But after careful observation, coupled with data analysis of the para-brain system, he found that this matter was really just a coincidence, at least no trace of temptation could be seen from the old man in front of him.

After confirming that the other party is not a temptation, Leo began to consider whether the one million would be spent or not, and the value was worth it.

If it was before going to the Skull and Bones, Leo wouldn’t even think about it, just turn around and go away, but now he has not only one wizard note written in Gamorei, but four, three of which Even more so, it certainly contains a complete heritage, and this million is not a question of worth.

After thinking about it, Leo made a decision immediately: "I will pay this fee and arrange a room for me. I will see the information immediately."
