After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo immediately got up and went to the lighthouse altar, standing on the platform in front of the altar and looking at the surrounding scenery.
If you don't discuss the special power of Wanghaiya, then this is definitely the best viewing point in Randall.
Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Randall coastline, you can see the vast ocean in the distance, you can see the whole picture of Randall harbour on one side, and you can also see the Church of the Church of Poseidon on the outskirts of Randall Special trident architecture.
I don’t know if it was influenced by the hidden power here, or because of the delusion of seeing such a beautiful scenery. In short, before the Black Castle and the lighthouse were built, many Randalls who ran to the Wanghai Cliff to watch the scenery would be in While lamenting the beauty of the scenery, I couldn't help jumping from here, and almost all of the people who jumped were swept away by the undercurrent hidden in the sea below. Only a few lucky people could survive.
Over time, it became a famous suicide holy place on the Weilun continent at that time. Many celebrities from the Weilun countries came here to kill themselves. At that time, the Randall City Council even established a celebrity suicide directory for this purpose.
Leo has no interest in viewing the scenery, so he has never stood in this famous place to watch the scenery of Randall, but now he stands here and looks at the surrounding scenery, and also has an urge to jump down in his heart. .
This impulse was originally just a normal impulse for ordinary people to stand in high places, but here it was influenced by the special forces around it, which further amplified this impulse. Even Leo, a firm-willed man, would have a strong business The impulse to jump off the cliff, not to mention other ordinary people.
After adjusting his emotions a little bit, Leo turned his head and looked in the direction of Port Randall, and his eyes also fell on the striking metal ship on the dock.
An all-metal boat itself is enough to attract attention, and this boat is not only all-metal, but also its entire body is protected by a layer of silver-white metal armor. The sun shines on it to reflect the dazzling silver light, even if it is It can also be seen far away.
Because of the metal armor barrier, people outside cannot see the equipment inside the metal ship, and can only see the shape of its barracuda.
There is no doubt that for Landor, who lives on the ocean, more than 90% of the city’s residents are fishermen and seamen. Their love for boats is far more than other cities, and such a ship has never been seen and has a gorgeous appearance. The ships that can safely travel through the mists of the sea will naturally attract their attention, so the people running on the pier to see this metal boat are endless, almost filling the entire pier.
Fortunately, due to the obstruction of fog, not only the maritime trade is reduced, but also the sea fishing is reduced. The pier is not busy, there is enough space for the public to provide a place to watch, so even if there are crowds on the pier, the flow of people is still there. Order, there is no mess.
Leo, after seeing the metal ship that sent the Engels to Randall, understood that the ship was different from what he thought. After hearing the metal ship he heard from Sylvia, he thought it was A spaceship like a functioning space battleship was manned to sail on the sea, but when he saw the real thing, he immediately saw that the ship was a steam ship covered with the battleship shell, which was very visually apparent Deceptive, but in fact it is totally different.
Although Leo is not currently on board, he can already judge the construction mode of this metal ship from the details of the shape of the ship he saw.
Obviously, the Kingdom of England should have found many wreckages of space warships regarded as relics of prehistoric civilization, and the main skeleton of this metal ship should be a small ammunition supply ship.
This ammunition supply ship is mainly used in the star zone defense battle. The ground defense forces used to supply ammunition to the air battleships during wartime, so this type of spaceship is not very large, which is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized sailboat in the world of Velon. The size can prevent the spaceship from becoming a striking target after rushing into the battlefield.
Because of its shape limitation, the space inside the spacecraft is naturally not too big, so the designer simply canceled all the weapon systems of the spacecraft, all of which became a cargo bin, and then strengthened the armor and engine of the spacecraft, allowing it to fly at speed, and Supported several rounds of attacks.
In the past space wars, most of these small ammunition supply ships can be preserved, even shot down, and the remains can be relatively intact due to the protection of the outer armor, so the Kingdom of England can find a small ammunition supply ship It's not something that is incomprehensible.
Right now, Leo is not clear about the state of the small ammunition supply ship when it was found, but since it can use its skeleton to rebuild a metal steam ship, it also shows that the main structure of the ship has not been damaged. It is also well preserved.
In addition, only part of the armor of the ship’s exterior is the battleship armor that comes with the supply ship, and the other part should be the armor pieces that were unloaded from the wreckage of other spaceships. Most of the armor of the whole ship is reforged metal armor, which comes from the surface Look, there is no difference between these types of armor, but in Leo's understanding, the defensive power of the three is completely different.
Although this metal steam ship built from the wreckage of a small ammunition supply ship is the ultimate work of the industrial technology of Velon World, as far as the strength of the ship is concerned, the vessels of the entire Velon World may not be able to compete with it, but only by virtue of This does not allow the ship to smoothly pass through the dark fog and reach the city of Randall.
He remembered seeing the influence of some mysterious existence in the gray fog, including the huge monsters, and now this metal ship crafted by Su Dongping can’t compete with it, as long as it is encountered, it will not It may be possible to get out of the fog, so there must be another real force on this ship to help them pass through the fog.
Although Leo was curious about the method of passing the ship through the gray fog, he felt that he might not be able to use this method, because this method is likely to come from the mysterious Poseidon, so he did not have to go to the pier for a close visit The idea of that ship.
"It looks amazing!" After returning to Sylvia's study, Sylvia exclaimed heartily: "Unexpectedly, the technology industry of the Inge Kingdom has reached this point, if they master it completely With this technology, when the fog dissipates in the future, it will be impossible for other ships to sail on the waters of the entire world."
Leo could hear Sylvia's exclamation, and also revealed a hint of worry in her tone. In her view, the dominance of a single family is doing more harm than good to the whole world, and the French Empire is like this. The same is true of the English kingdom now.
Although the sealords of the English kingdom are more self-proclaimed, and their influence in the world can not be compared with the old empire of the French Empire, it is undeniable that the kingdom of England has reached a unique position on the ocean. Even if there are other kingdoms that can still fight the Inge Kingdom on the ocean, they can no longer shake their solid ocean power.
Now if the Kingdom of Engels really fully masters this seemingly advanced metal ship manufacturing process, then the power of the Kingdom of Engels at sea will swell again and completely control other uncontrolled sea areas in their hands, becoming the British The Georgian Empire is only a matter of time.
By that time, the influence of the English Kingdom on the entire world will even exceed the heyday of the French Empire. After all, the French Empire, no matter how powerful, is only the land empire of the Weilun Continent. Its impact on other continents is more reflected in the culture. On the other hand, once the Kingdom of England has control over the entire waters of the Vellon world, they will be able to control the connections between the three continents. Whether in business, culture, or political exchanges, they will need to act according to the look of the Kingdom of England. It is not impossible that the Kingdom of England will eventually become the king of the world.
Faced with the concerns expressed by Sylvia, Leo just smiled and said: "You don’t have to worry, even if the Kingdom of England has mastered the manufacturing process, it is impossible to build too much, because the material used in this boat is not now. The forging process can be manufactured without these special materials. This metal ship is just an ordinary iron armor steam ship, which can be chiseled by all countries."
Hearing Leo’s words, Sylvia sighed a little, then asked: "Would you like to visit that boat, I can help you..."
"No." Leo shook his head, and then asked: "Which of the English people came to the sacrificial ceremony this time?"
"There are a lot of people on board, but most of them are discussing cooperation with the Poseidon Church. Only three people will participate in the sacrifice ceremony." Sylvia handed an information to Leo and said, "One Bishop Brian, president of the Pious Brotherhood of the Church of Poseidon in the Kingdom of England, another is Reed Bachelor of the Inge State College, he is also a member of the Society of Foreign Affairs, and the other should be your acquaintance Sean Donald."
"Shawn Donald?" Leo didn't remember this person for a moment, hesitated a little, but soon he came up with relevant information in his mind, and suddenly said: "Is he? A person he knows, but not Acquaintances,
followed and wondered:
Why did he participate in this sacrifice ceremony, did he not know that he would be sent to the Temple of Poseidon during the sacrifice ceremony? Or did he think that going to the Temple of Poseidon was like traveling? , Will there be any danger?"
"I think the reason why he will be involved should be related to the Poseidon scepter that you traded with him." Sylvia thought for a moment and guessed: "He can find the Poseidon scepter lost by the Inge royal family for so many years. , Itself represents his luck, and now the royal family of Inge should have some kind of conspiracy to the Poseidon Temple, so he will be sent over to participate in the loss, just to borrow his luck in order to gain something."
At this moment, the knock on the door rang in the room, followed by seeing the housekeeper walk in, salute Leo, and said: "Your Excellency, the envoy of the Kingdom of England sent someone to see you."
"Who was sent?" Sylvia asked, frowning.
"Master Sean Donald." The butler replied.
Sylvia was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "I just mentioned this person, this person came to the door by himself, it seems that his luck is really good."
After she finished, she asked the steward about it, asked the steward to bring the person over, and then asked Leo: "How about you? Do you want to listen to see what his purpose is?"
"I'll stay! Don't wait for you to call me later," Leo said, sitting on the sofa next to Sylvia's desk. "If I expected nothing wrong, he should have directed me." Here."
It didn’t take long for a heavy footstep to stop outside the door, and a knock on the door also sounded in the room. Then the housekeeper opened the door and motioned for the Earl of the Kingdom of England to follow him in. After the other party entered the room, he Close the door again, and then guard the door to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
At this time, Leo also saw Sean Donald who had met several times and experienced the word adventure together.
Although in the past few years, Sean Donald has become a bit old, and the two temples have a little white hair. It can be seen that although he has received a lot of attacks because of the recovery of the Poseidon Scepter, he has become an official and became a Jazz. The uppermost part of the Inge Kingdom government, but various pressures are naturally several times or even tens of times more than when he is just an ordinary noble.~EbookFREE.me~ These pressures forced him directly from one. The youth jumped to the state of a half-old man.
When Sean entered the room, he naturally saw Leo as his own goal at first glance, but he did not seem too anxious to associate with Leo, but just like an ordinary diplomat from other countries, toward Hill Via salutes and speaks some official courtesy.
However, Sylvia did not like this kind of pretentious manners. After Sean said a few scenes and polite words, he stopped Sean from continuing to speak, and then asked straightforwardly: "Sir, these official languages Don’t say it. You don’t like to say it, and I also don’t like to listen to it. Do you still talk about why you came to my castle today?"
The words were forcibly interrupted, and Sean did not show any irritated expression. Instead, he always kept smiling and said slowly: "Since you don’t like to listen to these official words, I won’t say anything. I still Straightforwardly talk about the purpose of my coming here! I hope that Lord Leo will be able to participate in this ceremony and protect my safety during the ceremony."
Sylvia wanted to say something for Leo, but Leo signaled to him and then asked Shawn, "What can I get?"
Sean was stunned, because he did not expect to enter the stage of talking about conditions so quickly, so the rhythm was disrupted, but soon he recovered and said with great confidence: "I can help your friend... "
Leo interrupted the other party indifferently and said, "If this is the case, there is no need for you to continue. They are now capable of taking care of themselves and do not need my help."
