Chapter 690 Balkimore
, !
That night, Enwei acted overnight.
Based on the intelligence gathered to identify the target, a notorious manufacturing tycoon who himself owns a shipyard and a manor in Balkimore.
When Envi attacked the rich man, he was crying out for love with a beautiful servant in his manor castle.
The next day, the scholars woke up, changed into their winter clothes and went downstairs to dine on the second floor of the hotel. When the scholars finished their breakfast, Ilumi and his party came to meet them and told them that they had found a place to stay.
“In addition, Balkimore is also stationed by the navy, and Robin cannot move freely for the time being.”
Illumi told them again, and the mother and daughter Olvia and Robin nodded in succession to express their understanding. In the past six months, their mother and daughter have become accustomed to this kind of life that does not show their true colors.
“Mr. Illumi, what you’re talking about is for the time being…”
Dr. Harlock seemed to understand the meaning of Ilu’s riddle, but the words stopped again.
“It won’t be long before Nicole Robin is living a normal life in this country.”
Ilumi said, then turned around and walked to the stairs, and went down to the first floor, and the scholars quickly followed.
“Da da…”
When the group came to the door of the hotel, a sightseeing carriage that could take dozens of people stopped. It was about the size of a bus in the real world. It was carrying a middle-aged man in a black fur coat and a suit and leather shoes. , it was Enwei who became a rich man.
Although it was a carriage, it was not pure animals, but six semi-mechanized horses that had undergone mechanical transformation. It was precisely because they were mechanically transformed creatures that they could pull such a huge “carriage”.
Ilumi and others and scholars got into the car one after another. When Slos, who was carrying the historical text, got in the car, the “carriage” made an overwhelmed “creak” sound, and the chassis sank slightly.
“Axel Manor.”
After everyone got into the car, Enwei spoke, and the six semi-mechanical horses moved their iron hooves and pulled the sightseeing carriage to the street. They were bound to the owner’s voiceprint, and they only needed voice control to give them action commands. Or they won’t stop working until they reach their destination.
Six cyborg horses ran at a constant speed on the street, attracting the attention of passersby.
“Tsk, what are people in this country thinking? They actually created this kind of transportation.”
“Isn’t a car much better than a carriage?”
Grid sat in the second row, scratched his ears, and grinned.
“Cyberhorses don’t take the time and effort to domesticate, and in this winter country with snow all year round, carriages work better than cars.”
Envi laughed.
“dudu…”
As soon as the voice fell, a horn sounded from behind, and a black car accelerated, passed in front of the carriage, and flew away.
At this time, the shops on both sides of the street gradually opened, and the glass doors displayed various commodities, such as cakes and desserts, fruits and vegetables, meat snacks, fashionable winter clothes, movie posters, product promotions and so on.
Many local residents are walking on the streets with breakfast and drinks. The middle-aged and the elderly are dressed in mature and steady clothes, and the young people are dressed in fashionable fashion. There are also young couples walking hand in hand with youthful smiles on their faces.
This is a modern city completely different from this world. Although its development is limited, its people live a prosperous and happy life.
Along the way, the scholars who took the sightseeing bus were able to see what the future kingdom is. Just the goods in the shops on both sides of the street made them feel eye-opening and dazzling.
“In such a prosperous city, scholars in this country must be very knowledgeable, right?”
On the sightseeing bus, a scholar did not ask such a question, and the other scholars also raised the same question and yearning in their hearts.
They live in O’Hara and consider themselves the top intellectuals in the world, but they have never seen a developed country like Balkimore.
O’Hara is like a small country town by comparison.
“Although Balkimore is very developed, its resources are extremely scarce. More than 90 percent of its commodity raw materials are imported, especially energy.”
Enwei suddenly spoke and introduced the scholars.
“For example, the cars that surpassed us just now can only be used by the top rich in this country. Not only are the metal materials, non-metal materials, and composite materials needed to manufacture cars scarce, but energy is also extremely scarce.”
“Twenty years ago, the giant geothermal heater project started by Bergapunk to improve the living environment of the people was terminated. In addition to technology and funds, energy is the biggest problem.”
“If you want to get more energy, you must invest in mining in other countries, but this gives other countries the opportunity to open up, and in serious cases, will threaten to share energy mining and processing technology in Balkimore. ”
“But how could Balkimore hand over its own technology, and neighboring countries are not willing to open up investment. As a result, Balkimore’s energy development has stagnated, and relations with neighboring countries have not been very good.”
“If it weren’t for the constraints of the navy and the world government, I’m afraid Balkimore would wipe out its neighbors.”
Enwei explained the information he got last night all the way. The speed of the semi-mechanized carriage was very fast, and it had already run out of the city to the suburbs.
I have seen the magnificent manor castle standing in the vast snow and ice.
“rustle…”
The iron hooves of the semi-mechanized horse stepped on the snow, leaving deep footprints one by one. If it was a car, it would definitely not be able to move forward, but the semi-mechanized animal could easily walk and even run.
Three minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the iron gate at the main entrance of the manor. A circular monitoring device was hung on the top of the iron gate. When the carriage stopped, a laser shot “swished”, stayed on Enwei’s eyeball for a moment, and quickly retracted it. .
“Bang dang…”
The laser was retracted, the iron gate opened automatically with a bang, and the semi-mechanized carriage moved its iron hoofs again, carrying Ilumi and the others to the magnificent castle in the manor.
“Da da…”
There is very little vegetation in the manor. There is a straight road from the main gate to the castle. There is a thin layer of snow on the road. Semi-mechanical horses pull the carriage through the snow, leaving two conspicuous ruts.
“Crack…”
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the castle, the heavy castle gate opened, and an old butler with black hair and single ponytail walked out from inside, followed by four tall young maids.
“Mr Axel.”
The black-haired butler stepped forward, opened the car door, and helped Enwei, who looked like a middle-aged fat man, get out of the car.
“Walter, these people are my friends, and they will all live here forever.”
Envi told the housekeeper named Walter.
“Especially these guys, what they say is what I say, and you can think of them as new employers.”
Enwei looked at Yilumi and the others. Butler Walter followed Enwei’s line of sight, and his deep and wise eyes swept past Yilumi and others.
“First time, gentlemen, I am Mr. Axel’s housekeeper, Walter Dominic.”
The housekeeper bowed slightly to Yilu Mi and the others and introduced himself.
“Ilu Mi?? Beat the enemy.”
Illumi jumped out of the car and reported his name.
“Kim Bradley.”
“Selim? Bradley.”
Kim and Pride got out of the car one after another and reported their names.
“Okay, others will be familiar with it later, and now go ahead.”
Enwei waved his hand and walked towards the door.
“Yes.”
Walter nodded with a smile, bowed slightly to Ilumi and the others again, and followed Enwei to the door.
Although there are inexplicably a lot of people in the family, seven of them are new employers. But for the housekeeper, these are nothing, there is little difference between one employer and eight employers, because he is the manager, and the work of taking care of the employer and the employer’s friends is done by the maid.
“Mr. Axel, since your friends are going to live for a long time, there are not enough manpower now, and ten more must be hired.”
The butler followed Envi into the castle, took off his black fur coat and hung it on the hanger in the hall, and suggested at the same time.
“Ten people are not enough, hire 20 more people.” Enwei looked back at the scholars and said, “They are all excellent scholars. Give them the largest and safest room for work.”
“It’s up to you to handle this.”
“Understood, Mr. Axel.”
Butler Walter replied.
“It turns out that you are scholars, I’m rude.” The butler looked at the scholars, his amiable attitude added a trace of respect, and smiled: “The largest and safest studio, only the basement in Axel Castle is eligible. ”
“However, because of geography and weather, the basement will be very humid, which will cause discomfort over time, especially this gentleman, who may suffer from rheumatism.”
The butler looked at Dr. Hallock and smiled.
“It’s not like this. I ordered people to open up rooms 12-20 on the first floor of the west area of the castle, and then remove the floors of these eight rooms to create a ventilated semi-underground studio.”
“The housing is arranged in rooms 21-46, what do you think?”
The housekeeper informs the scholars about the situation in the basement, arranges the housing, and proposes solutions.
Work and housing, arranged in an instant, neat and tidy.
“It’s good to be able to meet our needs, but it’s even better if you consider my age.”
“Thank you very much, just do as you say.”
Dr. Hallock was very happy and stepped forward to shake hands with the housekeeper, but did not introduce his name.
The housekeeper didn’t care either. He noticed in the morning that his employer was different from usual, and now he brought a group of outsiders back, suspicious everywhere. However, he is just a housekeeper, and he does whatever the employer tells him to do. This is his job.
“Then, Mr. Axel.” Butler Walter and Dr. Harlock let go, turned to face Enwei sitting on the sofa, and respectfully said, “As for the addition of staff and the renovation of the basement, I will start preparing now.”
“Well, go get busy.”
Enwei nodded and waved to him, the butler bowed slightly and turned to go out.
Ilumi was sitting on the single sofa with his back to the door. When the housekeeper went out, a small black snake sprang out from under the sofa, climbed out of the gate along the corner, got into the snow, and followed the housekeeper from a distance. behind.
“You go and help arrange the scholars’ rooms.”
In the castle hall, Enwei looked at the four maids and instructed.
“Yes, Mr. Axel.”
The four maids bowed respectfully and led the scholars to their room. Slos also followed with the historical text. He was going to put the historical text in the basement, and it was very tiring to carry it all the time.
“Hey, Envi.”
“This is just the beginning, you are exposed.”
As soon as the maids left, Grid taunted Envi.
“Tsk, it’s hard to deceive people who get along day and night.” Enwei pouted, “But it doesn’t matter, just deal with it.”
“Don’t do it for now, let me observe it first.” Ilumi interjected: “We have just arrived in Balkimore, and we should not kill people easily. It is difficult for a modern country to cover up the traces.”
“This butler is a wise man.”
“If he doesn’t report to the Balkimore government or the navy stationed here this time, he can try to develop the other party into his own.”
“If not, then disappear.”
Ilumi sat on the sofa with a flat tone.
“Enwei, what is the political situation in this country now?”
Kim Bradley asked. After all, he was the one who was going to become the clear-faced leader of Balkimore. He had to prepare early.
“Tsk, how is it possible to find out the political situation in Balkimore in one night?” Enwei scratched his head and said with a headache, “I only got a little bit of information that everyone knows.”
“The royal family of Balkimore, the Sarentis royal family, is still the ruler of Balkimore on the surface, but in fact it is just a mascot-like existence. Their only function is to represent Balkimore’s past.”
“The current top level of the Balkimore government is divided into three parts, economics, politics, and science.”
“The leaders of these three departments are Sasha, the financial officer, Bastian, the consul, and Cain, the chief technology officer.”
“It is rumored that the three of them are childhood friends, and they have worked hard to get to where they are today because of the strength of Balkimore.”
“So ~www.readmtl.com~ these three people are very prestigious among the nationals.”
“To be honest, I think these three people are very difficult to deal with.” Enwei scratched his head vigorously, and said, “It’s okay to have a good relationship, and they also control three main functional departments, and if you move one, you have to move three. .”
“But the three move together… The difficulty of operation immediately increases. After all, I can’t play the role of three leaders by myself.”
“Even with the Boss, there are only two people.”
Enwei had a headache, it would be nice if three of them could transform.
“You said that the three of them got to where they are today in order to make Balkimore strong?”
Suddenly, Ilu Mi spoke, and he got an important piece of information from the intelligence provided by Enwei.
“Folk rumors say so, is it true yet to be confirmed.” Enwei grinned: “Maybe this kind of thing was deliberately spread to increase their prestige and credibility among the people.”
“Well, in this case, you have to try it out.” Ilumi put her hands together on her chin, closed her eyes and meditated.
