Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 71 Waiting for Thunder Explosion

  The inexplicable disappearance of this huge amount of gold will inevitably arouse mutual suspicion among the big men who rule the city. Once the eggs have cracks, flies will naturally bite them.

  The last time the Viscount Iskran wanted to intervene in the government affairs of Raging Waves City during the meeting at the City Council Office, Luke was there at the time.

  In the game, this rare enlightened aristocrat in the Blade Brotherhood, but with his ability, forced his way into the Raging City Council and became a councilor.

   Once there is any loosening in Raging Waves City this time, he will definitely take action immediately.

   Only when old and new aristocrats fight in Rage City, they will not have the energy to manage the Cape District.

   As for whether this gold will be exposed in the future.

   Hum!

  What about exposure?

  At that time, whoever had this gold in his hand was the uncle!

Ok…

   After thinking about what to do next, Luke drank coffee again, feeling smoother and refreshing.

  Two naval warships left with the survivors of the Clover and headed for Raging City. The four merchant ships of the Cape Secret Bureau continue to salvage the airship, the important thing is to fish out the safe in the vault first, and the others can organize a fleet to drag the wreckage of the airship back to Cape Harbor.

  Ms. Tasia's side is also going very smoothly without interference, and the Nagas can rest assured to carefully search every corner of the seabed.

   Pocket the gold you found and transport it back to the underwater cabin of the Lucky Princess. More than a hundred nagas swam back and forth several times, and all the gold was transferred.

  After receiving the gold, Luke asked Shelley to keep working on the other three ships, and the Lucky Princess returned...

  The incident of the armed airship Clover being attacked and crashed caused a huge commotion as soon as it was reported back to Raging Waves City. This airship was carrying the tax paid by Raging Waves City to the empire this time, more than three tons of gold, which is not a small amount.

  If the emperor of the empire blames it, how many people will be implicated.

   Fortunately, another news came out soon.

  When the Clover armed airship was attacked, the Meteor Detective Chief of the Secret Intelligence Bureau in Cape District was leading the Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Navy's joint fleet to chase down the pirates in the nearby waters. Inspector Meteor discovered the fallen Clover and immediately rescued it. Not only did he successfully rescue all passengers safely, but he also salvaged the imperial tax money.

  The treasury safe containing the imperial tax money was sent to the city government office, and the member of Ible personally opened it, and the gold inside was intact.

  Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

  As long as the taxes are there, the responsibility rests entirely on the assailants.

   And... the safety hazard of steam airships.

  In order to clear up its own responsibilities, the City Administration Department of Raging Waves not only denounced the attackers, but also targeted the armed airship Clover that was in charge of the transportation.

   "The military is right in not purchasing the steam airship! To reduce its own weight, it uses soft airbags without any protective capabilities, allowing attackers to cut open the airbags as easily as cutting their own fingernails.

  Only hydrogen can bring greater lift to the airship, and there is no need to load a large amount of fuel like conventional thermal energy airships. The surplus load can allow the airship to be equipped with a hard airbag shell, so that the airship has a larger pod, and we can install artillery on the airship.

  Raging Waves City Alchemist Association has developed a hydrogen stabilizer. Hydrogen mixed with a gaseous stabilizer is no longer easy to ignite. It is the best material for building airships.

  But there are always some people in the court who prevent the development of new hydrogen airships on the grounds of the high price of hydrogen stabilizers.

  The new steam airship is cheap, but if there is no meteor inspector this time, it is not a loss of a steam airship this time.

  The tax money of the empire, as well as the priceless high-ranking officials of the empire, will leave us!

  …”

  Suddenly, there was a wave of public opinion condemning the new steam airship in Rage City. Regarding the hidden dangers and backwardness of steam airships, as well as the advantages and prospects of new hydrogen airships, they continuously occupy the headlines of major newspapers.

  The news that the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau rescued so many important people on the Clover has instead become a foil for the dispute between the steam airship and the new hydrogen airship.

  Even Councilor Ible talked about the shortcomings of steam airships in an interview, touting that the new hydrogen airship is the future.

  Let Luke sigh: As long as capitalists are still breathing, they will first think about how to make money. Is your hydrogen stabilizer just a problem of high price? The stabilizer itself is not very stable!

   It needs to be constantly filled with stabilizers to make the hydrogen stable and earn a lot of money.

  Luke doesn't care about the battle between steam and hydrogen, and he just doesn't want to be too much attention.

  Running his own rabbit nest in Cape District is his interest.

  The wreckage of the Clover airship was pulled to the beach near the port in Cape District. Luke asked people to circle the wreckage and sent spies to keep it under strict surveillance.

  No one is allowed to enter without the order of the inspector!

  The investigation of this case still needs to put on a show, and Luke personally led the establishment of the Clover incident investigation team. And asked Kai Linna to write a report, and applied to the city government office for 20 million Reichsmark funds for handling the case.

   Unexpectedly, the City Administration Department would approve such an outrageous application for funding. The City Finance and Taxation Office bypassed the Security Office and directly transferred the funds to the account of the Haijiao District Secret Affairs Bureau.

   Senator Ible is really generous!

  Luke also generously gave Mrs. Tasia 5 million Reichsmarks, and asked her to buy a batch of supplies in Cape District and ship them back to Fishbone Island. After everything about Fishbone Island has been settled, we will return to Haijiao District to discuss how to carry out cooperation between the two backward areas.

  The next step is to wait for the black gold mines to explode.

   Senator Ible can't get back that batch of gold. Will those big shots believe his claim that he can't remember where the gold was thrown?

   How did the attackers get on the airship?

  What is her purpose? Who is behind it?

   Nearly nine tons of gold are enough for their imaginations.

  The most important thing is... Only a few people inside them know about the secret transportation of this batch of gold. If anyone wants to plan this batch of gold, it must be their insider.

   You can guess each other.

  I will do my secret technique first.

   Luke, who had a little leisure time, began to think about improving his strength again.

  Troll bloodline (gluttonous), spear technique, wolf dagger No. 4, greedy red dragon gun, these are the foundations of Luke's own power system.

  The combination of troll blood (glutton), spear skills, and greedy red dragon gun can basically guarantee the needs of melee combat. Combined with his identity as a detective, with so many subordinates, there should not be many opportunities for close combat.

  The firearms style is relatively strong in the early stage of the game, and the identity of the detective of the Bureau of Secrets can get special bullets. Hiding behind and firing cold shots is the way a qualified detective fights.

  Is there any secret technique to increase the power of firearms?

there must be!
