After listening to Sylvia's words, Leo immediately stood up and went to the lighthouse altar. He stood on the platform in front of the altar and looked at the surrounding scenery.

If we don’t discuss the special power of Wanghai Cliff, then this is definitely the best viewing location in Randall.

Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Randall coastline, the vast ocean in the distance, the entire Randall harbor on one side, and the Poseidon Church church on the outskirts of Randall.

Special trident building.

I don’t know if it was influenced by the hidden power here, or because of delusions caused by seeing such a beautiful scenery. In short, before the Black Castle and the lighthouse were built, many Randall people who came to Wanghai Cliff to watch the scenery would be there.

While sighing at the beauty of the scenery, I couldn't help but jump from here. Nine out of ten people who jumped would be swept away by the undercurrent hidden in the sea below. Only a few lucky people could survive.

Over time, this place became a famous suicide holy place in the Velen continent at that time. Many celebrities from various Velen countries came here to commit suicide. At that time, the Randall Municipal Council even established a celebrity suicide directory for this purpose.

Leo has no interest in viewing the scenery, so he has never stood at this famous spot to watch the scenery of Randall before. But now that he is standing here and looking at the surrounding scenery, he also has the urge to jump down.

.

This impulse was originally just a normal impulse for ordinary people to stand on high places, but here it was affected by the special forces around them, which amplified this impulse. Even a strong-willed person like Leo would have a strong impulse in business.

The urge to jump off a cliff, let alone other ordinary people.

After adjusting his mood a little, Leo turned his head and looked in the direction of Randall Port, and his eyes fell on the extremely eye-catching metal ship on the pier.

An all-metal ship in itself is eye-catching enough, but this ship is not only all-metal, but is also protected by a layer of silver-white metal armor. The sun shines on it and reflects a dazzling silver light. Even if it is

It can be seen from far away.

Because of the barrier of the metal armor, people outside cannot see clearly the equipment inside the metal ship, and can only see its barracuda-like appearance.

There is no doubt that for people like Randall who rely on the sea for their livelihood, more than 90% of the residents in the city are fishermen and sailors. Their love for ships far exceeds that of other cities, and such a ship has never been seen with a gorgeous appearance.

, a ship that can safely pass through the fog on the sea will naturally attract their attention, so there is an endless stream of people running to see this metal ship on the dock, and almost the entire dock is crowded.

Fortunately, due to the obstruction of gray fog, not only the sea trade has decreased, but also fishing has decreased. The pier does not appear busy, and there is enough space for citizens to watch. Therefore, even though the pier is crowded, the flow of people is still orderly.

By the way, nothing happened.

After Leo saw the metal ship that sent the Inges to Randall, he understood that the ship was different from what he thought. After hearing about the metal ship from Sylvia, he thought it was

A spaceship like a still-functioning space battleship was being controlled by someone to sail on the sea. But after seeing the real thing, he immediately saw that the ship was a steamship covered with a battleship shell. It looked very unique from the appearance.

It's deceptive, but inside it's actually completely two different things.

Although Leo has not yet visited the ship in person, he can already judge the construction mode of this metal ship from the details of the ship's appearance.

Obviously, the Kingdom of England should have found the remains of many space battleships that were regarded as relics of prehistoric civilization, and the main skeleton of the current metal ship should be a small ammunition supply ship.

This kind of ammunition supply ship is mainly used by ground defense forces to supply ammunition to air battleships during the war in the sector defense war. Therefore, the size of this type of spacecraft is not very large, which is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized sailing ship in the current Velen world. In this way

The size can prevent the spacecraft from becoming an eye-catching target after it rushes into the battlefield.

Due to its size limitations, the internal space of the spacecraft is naturally not much larger, so the designers simply canceled all the weapon systems of the spacecraft and turned them all into carrying compartments. Then the armor and engines of the spacecraft were strengthened to allow it to fly at extremely high speeds, and

Survived several rounds of attacks.

In past space wars, most of these small ammunition supply ships were able to survive or even be shot down. The remains were relatively intact due to the protection of the outer armor. Therefore, the Kingdom of England was able to discover a small ammunition supply ship.

It's not something that is incomprehensible.

Leo didn't know what state this small ammunition supply ship was in when it was found, but since it was able to use its skeleton to rebuild a metal steamship, it also showed that the main structure of the ship was not damaged.

Still well preserved.

In addition, only part of the armor on the surface of the ship is the battleship armor that comes with the supply ship. The other part should be armor pieces removed from the wreckage of other spaceships. Most of the armor on the entire ship is reforged metal armor. From the surface

Look, there is no difference between these types of armor, but in the eyes of a sensible person like Leo, the defensive power of the three is completely different.

Although this metal steamship built from the remains of a small ammunition supply ship is the ultimate work of the current industrial technology in the Velen world, in terms of the strength of the ship alone, no ship in the entire Velen world may be able to compete with it, but just by virtue of

This did not allow the ship to pass through the black fog smoothly and reach the city of Randall.

He remembered that he had seen the influence of some mysterious beings in the gray mist, many of which were huge monsters. But now this metal ship that Su Dongping had pieced together could not compete with it. As long as it encountered it, it would not be able to compete with it.

Maybe they can get out of the gray fog, so there must be another real force on this ship that helps them get through the gray fog smoothly.

Although Leo was curious about the method of the ship passing through the gray fog sea, he felt that he might not be able to use this method because this method probably came from the mysterious sea god, so he did not go to the dock for a close visit.

The idea of ​​that ship.

"It looks amazing!" After returning to Sylvia's study, Sylvia sincerely exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the science and technology industry of the Kingdom of England has reached this point. If they completely master it,

With this technology, when the fog dissipates in the future, it will be impossible for other ships to sail in the entire world's seas."

Leo could hear Sylvia's exclamation, but also a hint of worry in her tone. In her opinion, a one-family situation would do more harm than good to the entire world. This was the case with the French Empire.

The same is true for the current Kingdom of England.

Although the maritime overlord of the Kingdom of England is more self-proclaimed, and its influence in the world is not comparable to that of the old empire of France, it is undeniable that the Kingdom of England has reached the point where it is the only one in the ocean.

Even though other kingdoms can still compete with the Kingdom of England on the ocean, they can no longer shake its solid maritime power.

Now if the Kingdom of England really fully masters this seemingly extremely advanced metal ship manufacturing technology, then the Kingdom of England's power at sea will expand again, completely taking other uncontrolled sea areas into its hands, and becoming the Kingdom of England.

It is only a matter of time before the Georgian Empire is established.

By then, the influence of the Kingdom of England on the entire world will even exceed that of the Fran Empire in its heyday. After all, no matter how powerful the Fran Empire is, it is only a land empire of the Velen continent, and its influence on other continents is more reflected in the culture.

, and once the Kingdom of England controls the entire sea area of ​​​​the Velen world, then they will be able to control the connection between the three continents. Regardless of business, culture, or political exchanges, they will need to look at the face of the Kingdom of England. In this case,

It is not impossible for the Kingdom of England to eventually become the king of the world.

Faced with Sylvia's concern, Leo just smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if the Kingdom of England masters the manufacturing process, it will not be able to build too many because the materials used in this ship are not what they are today.

It can be made with special forging techniques. Without those special materials, this metal ship is just an ordinary iron-clad steamship that can be chiseled out by all countries."

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Do you want to go visit that ship? I can help you..."

"No need." Leo shook his head, and then asked: "Who are the Yingge people who came with the ship this time to participate in the sacrificial ceremony?"

"There are a lot of people on the ship, but most of them are discussing cooperation with the Poseidon Church. Only three people will participate in the sacrifice ceremony." Sylvia took a piece of information and handed it to Leo and said, "One

He is Bishop Brian, the president of the Pious Brotherhood of the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England, the other is Bachelor Reed from the National College of England, who is also a member of the Lost World Society, and the other should be regarded as your acquaintance Sean Donald."

"Sean Donald?" Leo didn't remember this person for a while, and hesitated for a moment, but soon the relevant information appeared in his mind, and he suddenly said: "Is it him? He is someone he knows, but not

An acquaintance." Then he asked doubtfully: "Why did he participate in this sacrificial ceremony? Didn't he know that he would be sent to the Poseidon Temple during the sacrificial ceremony? Or did he think that going to the Poseidon Temple was just like traveling?

, there won’t be any danger?”

"I think the reason why he got involved must be related to the Poseidon Scepter you originally traded to him." Sylvia thought for a moment and guessed: "He was able to find the Poseidon Scepter that the Ying royal family had lost for so many years.

, itself represents his luck. Now the Yingge royal family should have some kind of plot for the Poseidon Temple, so they sent him here to participate in the loss, just to borrow his luck in order to gain something."

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded in the room, and then the housekeeper walked in. After saluting Leo, he said: "Your Excellency, the envoy from the Kingdom of England has sent someone to see you."

"Who was sent?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

"My lord, Lord Sean Donald," the butler replied.

Sylvia was stunned and said with a smile: "I just mentioned this person, and this person came to the door on his own. It seems that he is indeed lucky."

After saying that, she asked the housekeeper to bring the person over, and then asked Leo: "What about you? Do you want to sit in and see what his purpose is?"

"I'd better stay! I don't want you to call me again later," Leo sat down on the sofa next to Sylvia's desk and said, "If my prediction is correct, he should be pointing at me.

Come."

Not long after, heavy footsteps stopped outside the door, and a knock on the door also sounded in the room. Then the housekeeper opened the door and signaled the Earl of the Kingdom of England who was following him to go in. After the other party entered the room, he

He closed the door again and guarded the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

At this time, Leo also saw Sean Donald, whom he had met several times and experienced the adventure of one word together.

Although it has only been a few years, Sean Donald has become a little older, and there is a trace of white hair on his temples. It can be seen that although he has received a lot of attacks because of recovering the Poseidon Scepter, he has been promoted to a noble rank, and has become a

He is the top-level part of the government of the Kingdom of England, but the various pressures are naturally several times or even dozens of times greater than when he was just an ordinary nobleman. These pressures forced him to jump directly from a young man to a middle-aged man.

human condition.

After Sean entered the room, he naturally saw Leo, his goal here, at first sight. However, he did not seem too anxious to make friends with Leo. Instead, he looked at Hill like an ordinary diplomat from another country.

Via saluted and said some official polite words.

However, Sylvia didn't like this set of artificial etiquette. After Sean said a few polite words, she stopped Sean from continuing and asked directly: "Your Excellency Sean, these official languages ​​​​are

Just stop talking, you don’t like talking, and I don’t like hearing it either, why don’t you just tell me why you came to my castle today?”

The words were forcibly interrupted, which did not make Sean show any anger. Instead, he kept smiling and said unhurriedly: "Since you don't like to hear these official words, I won't say it. I still

Let me tell you the purpose of my coming here directly! I hope that Lord Leo can participate in this ceremony and protect my safety during the ceremony."

Sylvia wanted to say something for Leo, but Leo gestured to leave it to him, and then asked Sean: "What can I get?"

Sean was stunned for a moment, because he did not expect to enter the stage of negotiating terms so quickly, so his rhythm was disrupted, but he soon recovered and said with great confidence: "I can help your friend...

"
