"Why are you looking for me to design?" Leo asked with some doubts after hearing the commissioner's request.
The commissioner respectfully said: "That's because you are a recognized master of firearms. The shotguns you made have been regarded as fine works of art, and the prices are high at auction, and the firearms you used in the Emerald Island incident are also It proves that your firearms are not only good-looking, they are really useful weapons."
"You are not a weapon researcher. Maybe you don't know that a new weapon wants to be manufactured and is practical. It can't be done in a day or two. It will take at least a few years, or even more than a dozen years." Leo wrinkled. Frowning, said: "You are now asking me to create a weapon of mass destruction, which is simply unrealistic."
The commissioner thought for a while and said: "What if someone has started a start before and has studied some substantive results? On this basis, can you make some improvements to it and make it safer."
"It's safer?" Leo soon thought that someone had already created a powerful weapon, but the stability of this weapon might be a problem, so he pretended to be contemplative, silent for a while, and said : "I don't know this too well. You need to see actual information to make a judgment.
Leo’s request made the Commissioner hesitate. Although he knew that the request was not excessive, he could not agree to this request because the information was one of the federal top secrets. For foreigners who have settled in the Federation, it is impossible to see this information even if their status in the Federation does not meet the requirements.
Thinking of this, he didn't say anything, as if what had just happened never happened before, turned off the topic and talked about the smelter, and also took the second batch of steel order contracts for Leo to sign.
After signing the contract and discussing the time for the first batch of steel to be shipped out of the warehouse, the commissioner got up and left.
After the commissioner left, Leo did not immediately go to the Hans family manor, but the office building of the United Smelter. He found Sylvia who was dealing with various matters there, and handed over the contract to her, by the way The following commissioner hopes that he will study the matter of a weapon of mass destruction.
Sylvia quickly saw through the commissioner's intentions and said: "This should have nothing to do with the federal government. It is the commissioner who wants to obtain political achievements and entrusts you privately." She said, she paused and said : "Maybe you can try to develop it."
"Why?" Leo asked.
Sylvia did not answer immediately. After quickly signing a few documents, she told the people around her to withdraw. Only after she and Leo were left in the office, she said: "There is a message in the news I collected before. The founders of the Haute Confederation inherited part of the heritage of several churches that participated in the religious wars. There are very dangerous things in those heritages. I have never been clear what the dangerous thing is, and the source of the information is really unreliable. Spectrum, so I didn’t tell you. Now the commissioner of the federal capital came to you to study a weapon, and accidentally revealed that the Federation now has an unstable weapon of mass destruction. Do you think this weapon will It’s the kind of weapon that created Lake Beluk."
Leo thought for a while and said: "It's possible." Then he said: "Whatever it is, it is impossible for them to show such an important thing to me, a foreigner."
"They don't give it to us, can't we take it for ourselves?" Sylvia said with a smile.
Leo seemed to understand what Sylvia said, and said: "You want me to make a similar weapon, and then make some tricks on it, so that the people of the federal government can transport the thing to the storage location of that weapon. Then we..."
"Yes, that's what I think, what do you think?" Sylvia nodded and admitted before Leo finished.
Leo pondered for a moment and said, "How do you know they will send things to the collection location?"
Sylvia explained: "The information I collected mentioned that the federal government built a very large and very mysterious secret warehouse where the nation was founded. All the most important items to the Federation will be stored there. In the warehouse, and only a few people know the location of the warehouse. As long as the weapons you make have enough value and are difficult to manufacture in a short time, the relevant materials will definitely be put into the warehouse. We may be invited to the federal capital, and then our opportunity will come. We must know that there may be some forbidden mystery items in the warehouse."
Leo thought for a while, then asked: "Is the news reliable?"
Sylvia raised her head and said, "Of course it's reliable. Don't forget that this is my line of business."
Leo nodded and said, "I see, I will come up with a feasible plan these days."
After speaking, he said that he would go to the Hans family manor for two days. If he had something to do, he would send someone to the Hans family manor to inform him, so he left the office building of the United Smelter and got in a carriage towards the Hans family manor. Drive away.
Although the Hans family is one of the noble families in Beluk City, he does not belong to the native faction of Beluk City, because the Hans family is a foreign family, and it is also a new foreign family. The Hans family originally It is a big family in Tucker County, and almost all industries are in Tucker County. Later, for some reasons, the Hans family chose the family strategy of expanding outwards. As the federal waterway hub center, Beiruk is naturally Hans The first choice for family expansion plans.
Therefore, almost a few decades ago, the Hans family moved to Beluk City in large numbers. The whole process can be said to be ups and downs, and the process is as exciting as a country-to-country war. Some people even compiled it into In the end, the drama ended with the local faction in Beluk City, and the Hans family successfully ended up in Beluk City.
Although the local factions in Beluk City have bowed their heads, there will still be some small resistance behaviors, such as not selling real estate or real estate to the Hans family, so that the Hans family can only stay in the hotel run by their family, and eventually force Hans. The Si family had to buy a piece of land in the outer suburbs far from the city and established the family manor in Beluk City.
Although the Hans family has now integrated into the local faction of Beluk City, and the family has also bought a manor in the Great North Point area, the official manor of the Hans family is still in the Hans family manor in the outer suburbs.
The location of this manor is very remote, a bit far from the main national road in Beluk. For this reason, the Hans family had to open a special road. On both sides of the road, a kind of tree called large-leaved cedar was planted. The canopy of the tree seems to be a big umbrella. I think it expands around and covers a very large area. Therefore, this road is covered with large-leaved cedar all year round, and the ground is also layered with fallen leaves of large-leaved cedar. People walking along the road can feel a strange gloomy and inexplicable smell of corruption.
The coachman hired by Leo stopped when he reached the entrance of the road, and he didn’t want to go any further. According to him, it was because this ghastly road was full of evil things. If he walked once, he stopped. The body is damaged, ranging from illness to death.
"There is such a thing?" Leo was a little surprised, and asked: "Have you seen such a thing with your own eyes?"
The coachman shook his head and said, "No, everyone said that."
Leo said nothing more, got out of the carriage, paid the fare, and asked the coachman to wait for him at the same time two days later, and then walked along the leafy road towards the Hans family manor at the end. Walked over.
Soon Leo walked into the depths of the forest trail. He suddenly stopped and looked at the large broadleaf cedar on both sides. Then after thinking about it, he squatted down and formed the fallen leaves on the ground and the decayed leaves under the fallen leaves. The mulch was swept away, revealing the most primitive road below.
I saw that the road looked like it was built with stucco. The thick layer was tamped with a special method, so the ground was very strong. Even after so many years, the ground still had any major damage.
Leo dug out a piece of plaster directly from the ground, put it in his hand and looked at it, then crushed it into powder, put it under his nose, and sniffed it slightly.
"Ashes?" Leo couldn't help but muttered in surprise after getting the results: "It's actually made of ashes to make plaster. No wonder the environment here is so bad."
After entering the forest path, Leo could clearly feel the strangeness around him, and the more he walked in, the stronger the strangeness, and even later he could feel a wave of energy surrounding it. Down the road.
Now that he carefully recalled what the groom said, he couldn't help feeling that what the groom said might be true.
Paving the road with ashes, even if it is not human ashes, the road was built with some mysterious rituals. What effect this mysterious ritual produced is still unclear, but from the road situation, it is obvious This road is very unfriendly to ordinary people. Any ordinary person walking back and forth on this road may suffer some physical damage.
Leo didn’t quite understand why the Hans family wanted to build such a road at the beginning, but he knew one thing, that is, he should not come to the Hans family for nothing this time. Judging from the situation on this road, The Hans family should have mastered some mysterious knowledge related to supernatural powers. Although this mysterious knowledge will certainly not be shared with him, the books related to it are what he needs most now to understand the depths and details of the supernatural powers of this world. However, the specific method of using mysterious knowledge is not so important to him.
After Leo restored the leaves that had been smashed away, he continued to walk forward. After another distance, the two sides of the road began to become a little different. Originally, both sides of the road were planted with equidistant trees, and there was nothing in between. Even the shrubs are not planted, but now the Hans family has erected a stone sculpture resembling a statue of a between the two trees.
The reason why it is said to be similar to a is because the stone sculpture does not have any specific shape, but is just an abstract human form. It can barely be seen from some characteristics that this is a female, while the stone sculpture's head is It is a blur. The stone surface of the head is not originally a blur, but it becomes like this after being processed by people.
It’s fine if it’s just a statue, but the problem is that all the statues in the trees that you see on the road afterwards are similar to the statues of fuzzy faces, and their poses are various, and it feels like a group of people. The dancing lunatic was petrified.
Leo stopped, moved to one of the stone statues, took a careful look, and soon he found an interesting place, that is, the fuzzy faces of these stone statues were not cut like this from the surface inward. It burst into this from the inside out, that is, something burst out of the stone statue's face, which made the stone statue's face become such a fuzzy state.
"Why put such a weird stone statue on the road?" Leo looked like he was talking to himself. After a while, no one answered, he turned his head and looked at a large broadleaf cedar in the distance.
However, there was no movement in the big hardwood. Leo smiled when he saw this, and withdrew his gaze, ignoring the weirdness of the stone statue anymore, and continued to walk in the direction of the Hans family manor.
Soon after Leo left, a somewhat rickety figure walked out of the big hardwood cedar that Leo looked at before, and looked at Leo's back.
Indeed, this rickety figure did not come out from behind the trunk, nor from the tree, but came out from the trunk, as if he was part of the tree himself.
This situation was also caught by Leo's mental network, and the result surprised him a little bit.
In fact, just now he felt that there was a person more powerful than ordinary people hidden in the tree, but what he didn't expect was that the person did not hollow out the trunk of the big broad-leaved tree to build a secret. The stronghold, but directly integrates with the trees, and if necessary, walk directly out of the trees.
This can be said to be the first time Leo has seen people in this world display a relatively complete supernormal power, and the process of casting did not cause abnormal rejection in this world. Obviously, this world has a certain degree of tolerance for supernormal power.
Thinking of this, Leo's mood has become a lot easier, and he is increasingly looking forward to finding useful books in the library of the Hans family manor, and his steps have become a lot lighter because of his emotions.
Soon Leo walked out of this path in the forest containing mysterious power, and the vision in front of him suddenly opened up, and he saw a neat orchard composed of low wine and fruit trees, and a manor surrounded by walls stood tall in a small area. On the hillside, there are several strange-looking buildings in the manor.
When Leo saw the strange-looking buildings in the manor, he couldn't help but stunned, and couldn't help whispering: "The seventh colonial warehouse of the Federation?"
