Chapter 370 The lost power(1/2)
Because of his status, power, coincidence and choice, Baron Bart summoned Xia Yanzhen, a natural disaster.
But also because of his identity, he won a glimmer of hope for himself.
Xia Yan really wanted to "know oneself and the enemy" better through him.
He glanced at the darkness behind Baron Bart and made a gesture.
In the darkness, Tiamat appeared, her flaming eyes showing aloof emotions, and she glanced at Baron Bart as if she were sweeping a dead object.
Although the dragon's power has been restrained, the huge, ferocious, solemn and ancient appearance looming in the darkness still makes Baron Bart's heart tremble.
"This...is this a dragon?" Baron Bart couldn't help but ask.
The tone in his tone was not the horror of seeing a legendary creature and having his worldview impacted, but a feeling of "it's really like this".
"Have you seen it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"No...this..." Baron Bart said, "I just didn't expect that there are dragons now."
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Xia Yanzhen said.
Nowadays there are dragons, which is very interesting.
"According to some historical documents, a long time ago, there were some very powerful creatures on this land. They were larger in appearance and more powerful than ordinary beasts, and were called Warcraft." Baron Bart said, "Later,
As time goes by, magical beasts gradually disappear. The most powerful magical beast is the dragon. They are reflected in many stories passed down.
"Some archaeologists have even discovered huge skeletons that are suspected to be dragons."
"Where are the people?"
"Um?"
"There are extraordinary monsters and are there extraordinary people?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
At present, the steam technology of Linton and Inver is undoubtedly a "black technology", which is extraordinary and abnormal power in conventional understanding.
So, what about other than that?
Do they have other powers?
Just rely on steam technology to conquer the world?
"Yes. The old nobles once held some extremely powerful power. That power was passed down through the blood and continued their rule." Baron Bart said, "But now, they are ordinary people like us."
To be more precise, it is not the old aristocracy that holds the power.
But he became a noble only after he mastered the power.
"The 'spiritual energy' is exhausted, gradually evolving into a demon-free era, and embarking on the path of extraordinary steampunk." Xia Yanzhen made a rough summary of the current situation of this mission world in his heart.
He looked at Baron Bart and asked: "Are you sure those old nobles have really lost all their power and become ordinary people?"
"I was sure before, otherwise how could we divide their power?" Baron Bart smiled bitterly, "But now, I don't know."
I don’t know why, but it’s because of Jack the Ripper.
Because of Xia Yanzhen, and even more because of the dragon in front of me.
There are living dragons, so why must there be no other living monsters, or even nobles (descendants) who still possess extraordinary power?

Baron Bart no longer had any confidence.
"Let's go and find that Earl Marvin."
Xia Yanzhen did not continue the relevant topic.
The earl that Bart mentioned should allow Xia Yan to see the steam mechanical armor and the current mainstream "power" in this mission world.
"Leave now?" Baron Bart hesitated.
In this era, after losing their original powerful power, the old nobles desperately wanted to maintain their former glory.
He is very particular about many things to show his nobility and difference.
The new aristocrats who want to rise to power also pursue these things, and they divide the power in the hands of the old aristocrats by integrating into them.
Instead of smashing the decay of the past and starting anew.
With the "efforts" of both parties, various noble etiquettes have made many simple things very complicated.
For example, for a simple meeting, you need to first send your own butler or an important role such as head maid to the other party's home with a letter to inform the other person of the same status.
After agreeing, the housekeeper or head maid will go to the initiator's home with a carefully crafted letter. Everyone will exchange letters and then confirm the time.
After confirming the time and place, send an invitation letter to your door as a formal invitation, and then come back with a reply letter.
Finally, there was the real meeting.
If I want to meet someone, my butler or head maid must make at least two trips to avoid it being rude.
The other party's is almost the same.
And during this process, everyone is not allowed to meet each other (accidents are not counted), otherwise it will be rude.
For example, if I send a housekeeper, the housekeeper will come back with a reply, and then I will come directly to the door.
That's very rude.
What is even more rude than this is that what Xia Yanzhen wants now is to go directly to someone else's house without saying anything - but to be honest, even in the real world and modern society, it is not enough to go directly to someone else's house without even saying hello.
Not suitable.
And the most rude thing, which is enough to make people die, is not even wearing clothes, and bringing unwelcome guests to the door.
Now Baron Bart will do just that.
But can Baron Bart dare to refuse?
Of course he didn't dare. He didn't even dare to ask for a piece of clothing to cover his body.
He could only be held by Tiamat and fly into the sky. He looked at Linton, who had fallen into darkness in most areas, and tried hard to distinguish and point out the direction.
The night wind passes through the body and takes away part of the heat.
Fortunately, Baron Bart is fat enough, and the blood-striped armor can also play a certain role in keeping out the cold.
I don't feel cold.
But after tonight, if he doesn't add enough food in time, he will become seriously ill.
The blood pattern armor embedded on the body, the fuel consumed by the "internal combustion engine" is blood.
The most basic, simplest and most important thing about internal combustion engines and steam technology is "boiling water".
Boiling water brings powerful "energy".
But most people don't know that there is another kind of "burning" that can bring greater power than boiling water.
That is "burning blood".
Blood is the best fuel for steam engines.
In Lingtong at night, even if there is light in the upper town and parts of midtown, it is very limited.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The residents who have not yet fallen asleep cannot notice that there is a dragon passing silently in the night sky above their heads.
Those kerosene lamps, and compared to the whole of Lingtong, were just a few scattered electric lights.
The light emitted by the two is completely insufficient to illuminate the night sky.
The black night sky is where Tiamat soars freely.
"There, that's where."
Returning to the upper city, Baron Bart pointed to a villa garden and said.
"Who is this Earl Marvin?"
Xia Yanzhen didn't go down immediately, but asked.
"He is an old aristocrat, but he is not that stubborn." Baron Bart said, "He is the head of the royal steam research and development institute. The steam mechanical armor comes from the research and development institute."
"Does he have one at home?"
"I have a first-generation armor in my home..." Baron Bart said.
Nowadays, steam mechanical armor is already in its fourth generation, and has long since been mass-produced and put into actual combat.
Just like in ancient times, swords and armor are not allowed.
Both old and new aristocrats can have steam guns.
But steam mechanical armor, except for the royal family, the law stipulates that any private ownership is illegal.
But you can take advantage of the loopholes, and those armors before the fourth generation can be collected.
The first-generation armor can be regarded as a rather precious collection.
"Can it still be used?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"It depends on the situation, not necessarily." Baron Bart was not sure either.
