Age of Arcane

Chapter 71

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.

During the last meeting at the city government office, Viscount Iskran wanted to intervene in the government affairs of Raging Waves City, and Luke was there at the time.

In the game, this rare enlightened aristocrat in the Brotherhood of Blades, but with his ability, forced his way into the city council of Raging Waves City 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 nobles fight in Raging Waves City, they will not have the energy to manage the Cape District.

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

hum!

What about exposure?
At that time, whoever has this gold in his hand is the uncle!

Ok……

After thinking about what to do next, Luke drank coffee and felt smoother and more refreshing.

Two naval battleships left with the survivors of the Clover heading 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.

Madam Tasia's side is also going very smoothly without interference, and the Nagas can safely search every corner of the seabed carefully.

Pocket the gold you find and transport it back to the underwater cabin of the Lucky Princess. More than 100 Nagas traveled back and forth several times, and all the gold was transferred.

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

As soon as the incident of the armed airship Clover being attacked and crashed was reported back to Raging Waves City, it immediately caused a huge commotion.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, it is unknown how many people will be implicated.

Fortunately, another news came out soon.

When the armed airship Clover was attacked, the Meteor Inspector of the Cape Secret Bureau was leading the Secret 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 was sent to the city government office, and the member of Ible personally opened it, and the gold inside was intact.

Many people were relieved.

As long as the tax money is there, the responsibility is all on the assailant.

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 protection, allowing attackers to cut open the airbags as easily as cutting their own fingernails.

Only hydrogen can bring greater lift to the airship, and it does not 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.

The Alchemist Association of Raging Waves City has developed a hydrogen gas stabilizer. The hydrogen gas mixed with the gaseous stabilizer is no longer easy to ignite, and it is the best material for building airships.

However, 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, and the priceless high officials of the empire, will leave us!

......"

For a while, a wave of public opinion condemning the new steam airship was set off in Raging Waves 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 Bureau of Secrets 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 when he was interviewed, touting that the new type of 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 constant filling of stabilizers to stabilize the hydrogen and earn a lot of money.

Luke didn't care about the steam vs. hydrogen battle, and he just didn't want too much attention for himself.

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

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 2000 million Reichsmark funds for handling the case.

Unexpectedly, the city government affairs department would approve such an outrageous funding application, and the city finance and taxation office bypassed the security office and directly allocated the funds to the account of the Haijiao District Secret Affairs Bureau.

Senator Ible is really generous!

Luke also generously gave Mrs. Tasia 500 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 couldn't get the gold back. Would the big shots believe his claim that he couldn't remember where the gold was thrown?

How did the attackers end up 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 has the idea of ​​​​taking 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 skills, wolf dagger No. 4, greedy red dragon gun, these are the foundations of Luke's own power system.

The combination of troll bloodline (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 trend 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!
