Slar Railway Station, located in the south of Tigue, is the busiest transportation hub in Tigue apart from the dock area.
Today, Slar Railway Station looks particularly solemn and deserted. The reason is because today the railway station has welcomed a group of the most prominent people in Tige City.
Teague City Mayor Daphne Gerald, a civilian female mayor, wore a more conservative city government work uniform, but this still did not conceal the strength of this mayor. Several important city government officials stood in awe.
back.
The deputy mayor and Lord Earl, Earl Dodge, the person with the highest noble rank in Tiguet City, are standing behind them are the nobles of all sizes in Tiguet City.
The distinction between the two parties is clear at a glance. What I want to explain here is that the mayor of Tiguet City, which is the highest chief executive of a city, cannot be held by the person with the highest noble rank in a city. This is clearly written in Saruna
In the constitution. In other words, even if a noble holds the position of mayor, it can only be a noble title below the earl.
In addition to these two parties, there is a sparse group of people not far away who are independent from the outside world. The leader is named Bennett Kirk, who is currently the chief of the Teague Investigation Section. Beside him are one on the left and one on the right.
They are the two deputy chiefs of the Teague Investigation Division. The one on the left is Robert, whom Quines has met, the deputy chief of the Guest Division. The one on the right is Kingsley Williams, who has the same status as Robert and is responsible for
Affairs in various areas of Tigue North District.
In fact, there are four deputy section chiefs in Tiguet, who are responsible for the four major districts in Tiguet except the central city. Unfortunately, during the strike in May, all the investigation section officers in the other two major districts were wiped out, and the establishment has been temporarily cancelled.
, managed respectively by Robert and Kingsley Williams.
At the end of this group of people led by Bennett, the two people standing were none other than Shotgun Buddy and Quins, who had just come out of the basement and been dragged over by a shotgun.
"By the way, why did I come here with you?" Quins said in disgust, slapping away the shotgun hand on his shoulder.
Shotgun Buddy said nonchalantly: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The royal tour will be led by the third princess, Her Highness Nini. If you are favored by Her Highness Nini, you will suddenly be freed from a hundred years of struggle."
Quins rolled his eyes: "Do you think this is a knight novel? The imperial princess falling in love with a poor boy only happens in dreams. But the middle-aged uncle with a decadent face and smoking garbage cigarettes,
Is he really the head of the Tigue Investigation Department?"
"Shh, lower your voice. This is called informality. Do you understand informality?" Shotgun quickly asked Quins to lower his voice.
Quins shrugged. This is the difference between the strong and the weak. In the weak, the shortcomings are just shortcomings, but in the strong, they are personality. He also knows that you can't judge people by their appearance, but when you really meet such a person, you will feel sad in your heart.
I still couldn't help but complain. Of course, showing a bit of novice ignorance at the right time was also one of the reasons.
While speaking, Quins looked at two people with the corner of his eye. One was naturally the assassin pretending to be Lance Kelvin who had been marked by witchcraft. That guy was just an ordinary person mixed in with the crowd in the Investigation Department.
, neither conspicuous nor out of the ordinary, showing a person who has just arrived in Tigues.
Extraordinary people want to work hard to integrate into the circle of people. The other person is Mayor Daphne Gerald, who is on the same level as Earl Dodge. A woman can actually compete with Dodge in the political circle of Neng Teague, even if he is
It looks ordinary on the surface, but there must be some unknown confidence on the inside.
Common people and nobles! Quins narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the proposal on the abolition of hereditary titles that he accidentally saw in the study of the Earl's Mansion, and the submitter of that proposal happened to be standing opposite Earl Dodge.
Her aura can be called a strong woman.
If your guess is correct, at this time, the situation in the upper class society in Taopaphi, the capital of Saruna, was not as lively as what was written in the pages of the Tigues newspaper. You can imagine the tense relationship between the upper and lower houses.
In addition, Quins could feel dozens of prying eyes on the sidelines, and couldn't help but think of the report about shotguns he heard before entering the basement for seclusion.
"The Society of Evil Spirits, the Court of Night, the Church of Steam and Steel, the Demon Hunters?" Quins murmured in a voice that he could only hear. He could clearly sense it, and naturally he would not think that there were many people at the scene.
Experts can't sense it.
"Here we come." Shotgun said suddenly.
The whistle whined in the distance, and Quins suddenly felt like the curtain was slowly opening.
The royal parade train slowly drove into the train station amidst the ceremonial music of the carefully prepared ceremony band. Everyone on the platform couldn't help but feel shocked, and their bodies couldn't help but straighten two points.
The trains in this world can be described as steel behemoths. They are three times wider than what Quins saw in his previous life. The distance between the two tracks is three times wider, and the rails are four times thicker. Quins has the idea of a steam train in this world.
A rough guess.
But when we really see the giant steel beast coming from a distance, we feel a kind of shock from the bottom of our hearts. This is the instinctive awe of intelligent creatures towards huge things.
The royal train stopped slowly, and Her Royal Highness Nini, accompanied by a group of people, stepped off the train.
Daphne Gerald stepped forward first: "Welcome, Your Highness Nini."
Earl Dodge followed closely: "Welcome, Your Highness Nini."
At this time, Fanny Cecil was dressed in military uniform, looking at the two people in front of her elegantly, and showed a little tiredness at the right time and said: "Mayor Gerald, Earl Dodge."
Daphne Gerald stepped forward: "Your Highness is tired from the journey, please move to Iron Rose Mansion."
Fanny Cecil nodded to the people in the investigation department in the distance without leaving any trace, and then agreed with Fanny Cecil.
Quince looked at a group of pedestrians who got off the special train. There were fifteen people in total. Except for the housekeeper and maid who followed Fanny Cecil every step of the way, almost every one of the remaining twelve people exuded
Their auras were extremely powerful, especially the one in the lead. His eyes immediately focused on Bennett Kirk after getting off the car, and his endless aura put pressure on Quins.
Immediately, an aura of steam and steel rose up, resisting the aura of the leader. Even so, Quins felt a huge aura suppressing him at that moment, and in a daze, a wild lion looked up to the sky and howled towards him.
Quins was coming, no, more precisely, he was heading towards Bennett Kirk. He, Quins, was just the fish in the pond.
"Huh!" The shotgun next to him patted his chest and breathed out, "It's so close, so close, I thought the two adults were going to fight."
"Oh!? A fight? Do the two adults often fight?" Quins felt the momentum of the two sides being on the verge of giving up. He watched the princess and her entourage follow the two mayors away and asked.
"Lord Lancelot Leonard, the Angry Lion, is Sir Kirk's old rival." Shotgun gossiped about Quins with great interest. Then Shotgun couldn't control his mouth and talked about Kirk.
The love-hate relationship with Leonard.
Like Lancelot Leonard, Bennett Kirk also has a nickname as good as an angry lion, Puppet Master. Just by listening to the name, you can roughly understand Bennett Kirk’s capabilities. Yes, according to Shotgun,
Bennett Kirk's secret is said to be called the Iron Golem, a powerful secret made of steel and powered by steam.
Lancelot Leonard and Bennett Kirk were both orphans. When they were 8 years old, they entered Kentina Orphanage one after another. Coincidentally, it was the orphanage where Quinn was. So, with another
From one perspective, the background of the Kentina Orphanage is still very tough.
This solved some of Quins' doubts about the Kentina Orphanage. Why do businessmen and nobles donate money to maintain the operation of the orphanage in Kentina District from time to time? Dare to invest in the orphanage?
Investing in these two adults, and if you only need one share of the money, you can gain the favor of the two adults, so why not do it.
The two met in an orphanage and grew up together. However, their growth trajectories were different from Quinn's. When they were less than 10 years old, they joined a small gang in the Gers District and made a living by stealing. If fate had not favored this
As for the two of them, someone may find their bones in the sewers of Gerstard a few years later. However, things are so strange. An inadvertent theft completely changed the trajectory of their lives.
According to the subsequent investigation of the two people after they became famous, as well as their experiences, the most likely reason is that Lancelot Leonard and Bennett Kirk accidentally stole two secret books, which later became the
The Secret of Saruna's Iron Golem and the Secret of the Raging Lion made them famous.
The two people who stole the secret began to be hunted. This was also the starting point of the legend of the two. During the process of being hunted, the two continued to grow with the help of the two secrets and traveled to various parts of the Saruna Kingdom.
They have gained the illustrious reputation of the Tigues duo.
Doesn’t it give you a sense of déjà vu like the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty?
But the turning point came later. After becoming famous, the two chose to return to Tigue, because there was a person, a woman, who they both couldn't worry about, and a woman they loved deeply. They also met the two in the orphanage.
The existence of childhood sweethearts.
So, the competition began.
Angry lions and steel are both strong things. How could they give in for the woman they love? From the initial competition to the subsequent fight, the competition escalated step by step. In the last fight, the woman fought for
After trying to dissuade the two of them, they unfortunately died. No one knew about the circumstances at that time, and it became an unresolved secret that only Lancelot Leonard and Bennett Kirk knew.
But from then on, the two parted ways. Bennett Kirk joined the Investigation Division and eventually became the chief of the Teague Investigation Division. Lancelot Leonard left Teague and joined the Royal Guard. To this day, the two
Talents meet again.
Quins thought he had heard a story, but the actions of Lancelot Leonard and Bennett Kirk...
"This is a demonstration!" Shotgun could see clearly.
This is not only a demonstration by the two against each other, but more importantly, it is a demonstration against the many mysterious forces in Tigue, announcing the reunion of the two heroes in Tigue.
