Chapter 269 Steampunk Metropolis
Now one year has passed and he has returned.
I didn’t expect that the Pen Pal Club would change so much when he left a year ago.
If he continues to be in Knight Continent, I am afraid that the newspapers in his hands and Paris's hands will not be updated for a long time.
To be honest, there's nothing wrong with Prower and others' idea of having the Pen Pal Society be co-opted.
However, they had no intention of letting Ricardo know about the follow-up situation of the pen pal meeting, and they did not care about Ricardo's contribution to producing newspapers and leaving behind connections, which was somewhat chilling.
Of course, this has something to do with Ricardo's original choice to completely return to his hometown of Knights Continent.
But even if this happened a few years later, Ricardo accepted it. When he left, everyone was still very enthusiastic on the surface, and they were all grateful for Ricardo leaving the pen pal club to them.
But then he turned around and sold the pen pal club and said nothing.
"I didn't join the informant organization of the Vigil Investigation Bureau, and I didn't get the reward from the other party. Boss, you know that I don't have many magic stones, so I can't buy the extraordinary owl that needs to be paid for with magic stones. I actually had someone bring me a letter. We'll go back by sea ship, but there may be accidents in the sea ship letters from the two continents, and they may not be delivered to Shagang County..."
Fatty Kova explained his next steps.
After this conversation, two large glasses of dark beer were immediately finished.
Just when Ricardo was about to ask for two more drinks at the bar, Fatty Kova pulled Ricardo up.
"Boss, several pen pal club members and I used gold coins to buy an apartment in the Old Rand District when Old Rand first appeared in the Gray Mist Towers area and there were still many bad places." "Now while we can take advantage of the opportunity
. There are steam trains and shuttle buses. I will take you to see Old Rand."
"Old Rand in the Gray Mist Towers area has been completely cleaned up, and the urban area has been expanded to this small city. Now Old Rand is quite It has something of the atmosphere of Sheland, the capital of the Wizarding Continent and the Rand Empire. After all, this is an area separated from Sheland..."
Fatty Kova led Ricardo to the steam train station nearby.
"The Imperial Land of the Knight Empire on the west coast of the Knight Continent, the Old Land inside and outside the Black Mausoleum, and the Snow Land are now collectively known as the Three Lands." "The Old Land now has
many top aristocratic clubs and hotels , that is, the information has not yet been fully exposed, so you can still pay with gold coins. Let’s take advantage of this last time to use gold coins to enjoy a night! In a few months, it is estimated that Old Rand will completely become the wizarding continent. In the city of extraordinary beings, all the top places must be subdued with magic stones."
Fatty Kova showed an excited expression on his face, as if he had something good to share with his brothers.
The two of them have been apprentices since they were children at the age of ten, and have now been in the foreign land of Gray Mist Towers for ten and eleven years. Although they haven't seen each other for a year, they still have a good relationship.
Take a few steps outside the bar.
Ricardo waved his hands to the carriage driver who was waiting in front of the stable next to him, beckoning him to go back.
This surprised Fatty Kova.
"Boss, have you joined other forces now?" He pointed to the White Rose family emblem on the carriage.
"No. On the way back from the Snowfield Ancient Road, we organized an apprenticeship organization similar to a pen pal club, and it happened that one of the families was willing to sponsor it."
Ricardo responded.
The two people walked into the ticket hall of the steam train station and bought two tickets from the conductor.
"Here we go again..."
Fatty Kova guessed that this was Ricardo imitating his behavior ten years ago, but he could fool the forces that owned carriages in the gray mist tower area. Although this force was probably a small force, It also explains some of Ricardo’s abilities.
It seems that some things have remained unchanged for ten years...
The two people walked into the platform of the steam train station, waited for a while, and then entered the carriage.
Because the distance is shorter, the tickets purchased are relatively high-end.
The two people walked past the cheap carriage with no seats and only black iron waste pipes to hold on to the last section, until they reached the aristocratic carriage at the front.
In the noble carriage, rows of vermilion wooden benches are neatly arranged on both sides of the carriage.
The two sat down and continued chatting.
During the chat, Ricardo also learned about the situation of the Vigil Investigation Bureau.
The Vigil Investigation Bureau, like the Vigil Officers Association, the Exorcist Hall, the Exorcist Alliance Headquarters, the Holy See and other organizations, originated from the split of the Vigil Holy Order, one of the seven supreme wizard organizations.
Among them, the Exorcism Alliance Headquarters is used to organize the Exorcism Alliance, which is quite special.
The remaining four organizations have some relationship with the royal family of the Knight Empire on the west coast of the Knight Continent, and the royal family of the Rand Empire on the Wizard Continent, that is, the Night Watch Royal Family.
The Holy Holy See and the Exorcist Palace, the Night Watch Royal Family are deeply involved;
while the Night Watch Officers Association and the Night Watch Investigation Bureau are more involved with the various families and clans that support the Night Watch Royal Family.
The Night Watch Association is relatively more civilian and open. It also has branches in local seaports in the Knights Continent and will obey the unified dispatch of the official of the country where it is located. The Night Watch Investigation Bureau, except for Di Rand, basically focuses on the urban areas of the Wizard Continent and directly Take orders from the royal family of the Rand Empire.
"Because Old Rand is now collectively known as the Three Rands, its reputation is rapidly rising in the Wizarding Continent. Therefore, its Vigil Investigation Bureau has not yet formally determined the organizational structure of the Old Rand branch above the wizard level. It has only established A main wizard apprentice organization, and an informant organization and a witcher group were established. It is currently the die-hard support family of the Night Watch royal family, and several core members from the Storm Clan branch 'Dragon Whale Family' are in charge of co-ordination.
"The main wizard apprentice organization, the Dragon Whale Family, has established a cooperative relationship with the Ocean Area Apprentice Affairs Tower and the Snow Area Apprentice Affairs Tower. After Prol and the others sold the Pen Pal Club to the Vigil Investigation Bureau, they represented the Ocean Area Apprentice Affairs Tower. " , became a member of the apprentice organization of the Vigil Investigation Bureau."
The train moved amidst the roaring whistle. Ricardo was shocked when he heard that the Storm family appeared in Fatty Kova's introduction.
"Branch of the Storm Clan? Dragon Whale Clan."
Ricardo had already anticipated the subsequent situation of Prol and others, but he was more interested in the Storm Clan.
He immediately shifted the focus of his chat with Fatty Kova to the Storm Clan.
The Storm Clan and the Paran Clan are the two major clans in Linxue Province.
Moreover, when the Linxue Province disappeared decades ago, the Storm Clan's losses were not as great as those of the Paran Clan, and more forces outside the Linxue Province were retained.
Now, with the return of Linxue Province, many branches of the Storm Clan in the province have also returned to the Wizarding Continent.
Especially in the Gray Mist Towers area, like the Paran Clan, the Storm Clan's name is being heard by more and more people.
Ricardo heard a lot about the Storm Clan from Fatty Kovar.
On some walls in the aisles of noble carriages, there are also posters with messages that Old Rand wanted to spread in public places.
Ricardo followed Fatty Kova's prompts and walked into the aisle.
He saw a wanted poster posted in the aisle:
[Wanted order: Storm Marquis Tagula (a third-level wizard, who may have advanced to the third-level senior level, or even broken the fourth-level bottleneck)]
[Wanted matter: ...stealing the treasures of the Storm clan in a secret realm...]
[Current status of the wanted criminal: The other party has entered the Linxue Province, and it is speculated that it may appear in the Gray Mist Towers area]
[Bounty family: Dragon Whale Family, anyone with information can report to the Vigil Investigation Bureau, a large sum of money will be paid]
The poster shows that Tagulana is alive A face that has aged for a long time.
Ricardo relied on the hope in the darkness of the language of flowers to see this face from the picture in his mind.
The other party killed Lorient.
Because of his hatred, Ricardo kept the other person's face in his heart.
'Steal the Storm Clan's treasure in a certain secret realm... The Dragon Whale Family offers a reward...'
When he was in the evil realm of the Mirror Sanctuary, Ricardo guessed that the Storm Marquis Tagula and the rest of the Storm Clan were two different groups.
After this chat, he confirmed this even more.
It seems that what Storm Marquis Tagula did before was more like using intelligence from within the Storm Clan to steal the divinity of Fengxue from the Storm Clan's operations.
'After the other party obtained the divinity of Fengxue, he called himself Duke of Fengxue instead of Duke of Storms. This may mean that he has betrayed the Storm Clan, or at least done right with many people in the Storm Clan...' After Ricardo made a judgment
, My heart is clearer.
Compared to the entire Storm Clan, if he encounters a bereaved dog who betrays the clan by chance, he will have less psychological burden to seek revenge if he encounters him with a small chance.
However, the other party may have already stepped on the edge of the fourth ring.
He is only close to the senior level. With his own personality, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to find trouble for the other party. He will also try to avoid contact with the other party during the development period. If the other party is killed in the past two years, Ricardo can only regret that there is nothing he can do. I took my revenge with my own hands...
Wu -
Kucha Kucha...
As the whistle roared, the steam train arrived at the station...
This is just an intercity train and may even be considered an intra-city light rail railway in the future, similar to the subway in the previous life, and the speed is naturally very fast.
Fatty Kova took Ricardo out of the train station.
There are many tramcars outside the train station.
Compared with the tramcars in Sarcobourg County, some of the carriages here are larger. Ricardo saw the carriages with drivers in uniforms waiting in the square behind the train station. They were all with more than two floors, and some even had three floors. layer.
Cova took Ricardo and took a carriage to the apartment he purchased.
Arriving at the apartment, Ricardo finally understood the reason why Kova brought him here.
This apartment is more modern and advanced than the apartments in Shagang County, and it is a two-story duplex apartment.
The apartment has five or six rooms upstairs, two bathrooms, a large balcony, two rooms on the first floor, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and an underground storage room.
Old Rand is a fragment of the city separated from the snow capital Shelund. This apartment is in the city center and the location is very good. If more and more wizards move into Old Rand in the future, it can be said that the future benefits will be objective.
The apartment is on the ground floor. If it is a duplex on the top floor, it even has an extremely wide view of the old Rand city.
When Kova introduced the house and future life plans, his eyes lit up. It seemed that he was planning to completely settle in the urban area of the Gray Mist Towers area.
When Ricardo heard about this kind of family-friendly plan, he was filled with emotion when comparing it with his previous life experiences.
However, he hasn't told Kova yet:
he is already an official wizard...
Not only that, he is also a legendary knight, a legendary demon hunter, and the path of the wizard condenses the totem of two laws, one of which is the law. The totem has even been perfected...
