Chapter 13 Steel Code City
When the first ray of light in the morning light tear apart the dark night and shines on the vast snowfield.
Rows of passengers hiked forward, with sparse carriages dotted in the center of them, and some passengers occasionally looked at the carriage with envy. In an instant, they looked at Mr. Chris Sharp, the director of the Chamber of Commerce who was commanding the crowd. It is no doubt that when the caravan arrived at Gangdian City, the snow-flake complaints would flood the member of the board of directors of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce.
In the luxuriously decorated carriage, Surman leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking like he was sleeping, but actually stayed asleep.
Before arriving at Gangdian City, Surman did not dare to relax at all. You should know that in his previous life, he was a player, and he had followed some caravans to "run and dart". As a result, it was often the night before arriving in a civilized city-state, when they encountered a powerful group of scoundrels, or simply a rebellion within the Chamber of Commerce, and everything was ruined. This experience made Surman maintain an excellent vigilance.
Unlike his experience, as a lady born in a wealthy family, Ebis was mentally exhausted and had long curled up at the wall, hugged her slender legs and fell into a deep sleep after a night that was so exciting that she had already been so tired that she had long curled up at the wall.
"This girl has good qualifications..."
Suddenly, a voice came from Surman's arms. He looked down at the Black Abyss Secret Book named "Sin Flame". He quietly opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful girl in the corner and said a leisurely judgment.
"Do you think she is very suitable to be the 'contract object'?" Surman raised his eyebrows, thinking it was a bit fun. Perhaps, Sin Yan must have thought that the girl was its real host. This feeling is not something that outsiders can tell.
"No, you're more suitable than her."
Sin Yan said something and no longer answered his words. According to Sin Yan, even if He does not give strength, just consciousness communicates with the contracted object through the seal, it will consume some strength.
Of course, this consumption is much smaller than the ceremony of holding a God-giving ceremony. The difference between the two is probably a bottle of drinking water and the rivers that run through the city. However, it seems that the consumption of Grand Duke Sin Yan is not small in holding a ceremony, so he has to make careful calculations...
Surman was about to tease the other party for a few words.
Suddenly, a voice came from his ears—
[Tip: You triggered the plot event and wanted person's pursuit (Lv15)]
Seeing the name of the event on the panel, Surman's pupils shrank, especially the difficulty behind him, which immediately became alert.
Lv15!
This is definitely a difficulty of "extraordinary level". Not only that, it also requires a senior level extraordinary person, or even a team of extraordinary people to reach this difficulty. After all, no matter how many secondary professions an ordinary person has, the difficulty of the plot events they are involved in is only topped out in Lv10.
You should know that the plot event that destroyed the entire White Wolf Group and had two extraordinary people, it was determined to be the difficulty of Lv10...
"Is it the White Wolf Group's follow-up revenge?" Surman vaguely guessed the truth based on the name of the incident.
As a rich experience pioneer, it is inferred that the plot is his strength. First of all, the name of the plot event contains a certain amount of information. It is not difficult to guess from it that the other party should be the subsequent plot of the "White Wolf Group".
The question is, he has destroyed the entire White Wolf Group, who will seek revenge on Surman?
Unless there is another force behind the White Wolf Group!
The White Wolf Group was just a chess piece pushed to the front stage, the real leader, the black hand forces hidden behind the scenes.
Who will it be...
Surman's eyes froze and he almost blurted out—
"The Sloyal!"
In fact, there are many directions that can be guessed, and there are many forces that meet the conditions. There are big and small within the scope of Gangdian City. Whether it is the official forces on the surface or the hidden organizations hidden in the dark, the number is like stars.
Generally speaking, even Surman can't guess the other party's identity, but the problem is that there is a condition that greatly shortens the scope.
Surman looked up gently and looked at the gap outside the car. A ray of morning light penetrated into the car in an extremely faint state. Obviously, it was still early in the morning, and it was still early in the real day.
“Only a few hours….”
Surman confirmed in his heart that the moment he destroyed the White Wolf Group happened late at night.
It took only a few hours to meet the forces of the White Wolf Group (corpses) on the snow field... With this alone, most of the forces in Gangdian City can be ruled out, and only two possibilities are left.
First, the other party is a group of vassals on the snow field, but you should know that most of the famous group of vassals have their own range of activities. They will not rashly break into other people's territory, otherwise, both sides will fight to the end.
The group of vassals seeking wealth, and their primary targets are past caravans and travelers. Therefore, it is unlikely that the other party is a group of vassals.
Only the second option is left.....Scheduler!
As a tourer of the group of hunting wilful gangs on the snow field, he is qualified to wander around the snow field and has the motivation to find corpses. The most important thing is that the other party can do some private things under the name of "patriarch".
Surman is not an ordinary citizen, and he will unconditionally believe in the parade. In his previous life, he had deeply explored the plot and knew better what the "parade" is than the lower-level members of the parade.
[Tip: Due to the plot changes, your event and the wanted person's pursuit (Lv15) is over.]
"The plot event was cancelled? They gave up the pursuit..." Surman nodded secretly. Sure enough, the system prompted it to coincide with his guess, which indirectly proved that the other party was a tourer!
It seems that the White Wolf Group has been incorporated. Their backstage is a parade, but the latter wanders on the snow field and is willing to recruit the White Wolf Group at will? What are they looking for?
"The tourer, what is the purpose of searching on the snow field..."
"Did I say my identity have been exposed?"
Surman frowned, and in an instant, he shook his head and denied the idea.
impossible!
The original owner's identity was well hidden, and he was also a child of a illegitimate child who was not valued. He did not apply for a wanted order at all. Otherwise, Surman would have killed someone to silence him - destroying the entire caravan to cover up his whereabouts.
After all, the original owner used the real name, except for the fact that he did not have a surname, no changes were made in other places, and his appearance was not concealed.
Ibis, Chrisf and others saw his appearance, all of them were true. If there was any problem, with Surman's character as a player, he had long been unparalleled in the crowd. Why did he let go of the survivor and go to Gangdian City to reveal his identity?
unless......
Surman's heart moved and took out a quaint map and exquisitely crafted silver-white dagger from the side.
These are two relics that the original owner had once taken away by the White Wolf Group. As he destroyed the other party, he searched for it from Hawthorne, and now the object has returned to the original owner.
Putting the silver-white dagger aside, Surman spread out the quaint map on the small table.
This is a map suspected to be made of sheepskin, which depicts snow fields, mountains, forests and other markers, as well as the words "Steel City", "Ross Relics City", "Russ Shark Port", "Breast Ice Wall", etc., which actually cover half of the cold soil in the north, mainly north of the Ryushark Port, not the southern region, such as the famous Ukiyo-e Palace, which is not marked on it.
In the barren cold soil in the northern region and the windy and snowy environment that is easily lost, the value of a precise map is self-evident.
No wonder Hawthorne not only confiscated the silver dagger, but also kept this map in close custody, which is indeed worthy of his attention.
But Surman took out the map, not for this.
I saw Surman glanced at his arms and confirmed that the "Sin Flame" had already closed his eyes and fell asleep as He said.
The next moment, Surman stretched out his nails, and there was a faint black smoke tangled, and he stroked hard on his other finger—
puff!
A drop of blood fell on the map. The next moment, the entire map swallowed the drop of blood. Like breathing, layers of ripples surged out and spread to the entire map. After a few seconds, the map was covered with blue flames, which were very sparse.
Each blue flame represents the descendants of the Stuart family.
Surman took a look and there was a blue flame burning quietly at the location of Gangdian City.
"really......"
Surman muttered to himself softly, he had already confirmed that the tourer was not for him at all.
Their real goal is actually the deep blue flame in Gangdian City.
The deep blue flame representing the descendants of the direct descendants!
With a light wave, the abnormality on the map disappeared. Surman touched his chin and thought about countermeasures. After all, even if the other party was not for him, it would more or less hinder his situation.
It was like a car carrying a group of thieves. Suddenly, someone shouted: "The police are here!"
As a result, when the thief who was targeted jumped into the window and found that there was a group of people next to him who were also snatching the window and even scrambling for a position with him, it was so embarrassing...Surman was the same.
As a warm-hearted ‘passerby’, his best choice at this moment...
Is it true that the official report should be done?
Just as Surman was thinking about his bold thoughts, suddenly, Chrisf's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Mr. Surman, we finally arrived at our destination!"
"arrive?"
Surman moved his heart and stood up to wake up Ebis who was sleeping. The next moment, the two of them went out through the car door.
Huh, a gust of wind and snow came towards us, and the two looked up and saw the wind and snow not far away.
A majestic and huge city is surrounded by metal city walls on all sides, with double layers inside and outside. A large number of steam pipes are erected on the walls. At the end is a fortress powered by this. In the distance, there are towering bell towers in the city. The most dazzling one is the code tower in the center. It is a bell tower, but a code is erected at the top, as if monitoring the entire city.
The pointer symbolizing time rotates slightly in the code, as if following its instructions and taking action step by step.
Occasionally, there are figures riding a giant eagle's life falling from the sky into this city made of steel.
This is the iconic cold soil in the north, one of the civilized city-states that has survived since the early Third Era.
