I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 110 Visit
Queens has always been the main urban area of ​​Nolan City. As the first place to build the city, it has concentrated multiple functions such as commerce, schools, hospitals, residential buildings, and municipal institutions.

With the advent of the steam and industrial age, after several reorganizations, the factories that originally stood in the Queens District were gradually relocated to the west of the current Nolan City, leaving a large area of ​​land vacant, and later unified by the government. houses of the wealthy.

And some richer people, such as Congressman Nero, used the method of mergers to occupy a large amount of land and build their own private estates.

Because of this, Queens is basically synonymous with the wealthy district in the eyes of today's Nuolan citizens.

"The growth of capitalism is always accompanied by the blood, tears and toil of poor people."

Looking at the scenery along the way, Dante's thoughts wandered, thinking of the history related to this city.

In the era of steaming, the role of manpower is further compressed by machinery, which also makes labor more and more cheap. Those factory owners can't wait to squeeze their salaries to the limit, but even so, there are still many people who choose to accept, and for He was terrified, afraid that one day he would be laid off for a reason.

From a certain point of view, the increase in productivity has only helped a small number of people move from rich to richer.

"Nero's manor is really nice."

In the stable carriage, Joseph's teasing voice sounded, and Dante cast his eyes out of the window, and saw the prosperous manor surrounded by iron railings not far away.

Different from the seaside manor where the Connor family held the dinner, the architectural style here has a more historical atmosphere of a hundred years ago. The two statues of armored knights standing at the door reflect a certain concept and attitude of the owner.

Senator Nero is a conservative. Dante thought about this matter thoughtfully.

As the most famous businessman in Lantis Province, although Nero Albert made his fortune through industry, he has been seeking the approval of veteran nobles from the moment he stepped into the political arena. Here, there has always been an initiative to "restore Heissant's glory a hundred years ago".

In his view, the current federal government has gone astray, and only restoring the earliest system is the best choice for this country.

Therefore, the reason why he wanted to visit the Nofinks family more than once became clear.

After all, in this country, no family dares to compete with Nofinks in terms of heritage and nobility.

Complicated thoughts rose and fell in his mind, Dante withdrew his gaze, and got off after the car stopped.

It was already midnight at this time, and the night after the heavy rain was cool in a different way, and the air seemed to be much fresher.

wait, it seems a bit bloody
Dante sniffed, frowned, and looked at his companion.

"It seems that we did not make a mistake."

Leon straightened his collar, and his expression was not surprised. He walked slowly to the gate of the manor, and with a light push, the locked iron door made a crisp sound of "click", and then opened completely.

"Who?!" Several bodyguards were alarmed by the voice.

boom!
The next second, George waved his right hand in the air, and the bodyguards who were about to draw their guns softened and fell directly to the ground.

"What is your ability?"

"The tricks of a magician are only effective for ordinary people."

George blinked, brushing his hands over his collar, very annoyed.

Dante smiled helplessly, as his teammate never forgets to show his "charm" at all times.

Along the way, there were several bodyguards watching the night, all of whom were stunned by George in the same way. Dante and others went straight to the most luxurious building in the manor, opened the door and walked in.

Inside, there were actually no servants to be seen, and it seemed very quiet.

When he reached the door of the study on the second floor, Joseph reached out and knocked, and an old voice came from inside.

"Enter."

The study room was very spacious, even a bit outrageously large. Nero Albert was sitting behind the desk in his pajamas, reading a book in his hand.

Seeing a stranger coming in, he didn't panic, but took off the lens on the bridge of his nose, leaned back slightly, and asked:

"At this time and in this way, what's the matter?"

Dante glanced at it, and found that the book in the other party's hand was called "Miserable Life", a documentary novel that focused on describing the lives of people at the bottom, and became popular in the Commonwealth.

Leon walked up to him, pulled out his chair and sat down:

"Didn't you always want to visit me? Here I am."

"You are."

Councilor Nero frowned, then thought of something, sat up straight, and asked tentatively, "Master Leon Nofinks?"

"It's me, the captain of the Third Action Team of the Federal Bureau of Special Incident Investigation."

Leon nodded and waved his hand. Joseph took out a piece of paper from the side with the official seal of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on it.

"According to the investigation, you are involved in a case of endangering public safety. Now, you are being questioned in accordance with the relevant federal regulations."

Standing by the side, Dante felt that Leon's confident state no matter where he was, was really enviable.

He tidied up his collar, pinched the [badge] on his chest unobtrusively, and became more at ease in his heart.

"Endangering public safety?"

Representative Nero's expression was a bit ridiculous, and he said: "Master Leon. Oh no, Captain Leon, although I respect you and your family, I think you probably made a mistake."

"I'm not here to argue with you, but to tell you the answer."

Leon glanced around and said calmly: "I said you were involved, then you are involved."

"Then I have the right to remain silent and reserve my right to complain to the House of Representatives."

Before Leon could speak, Dante said, "Do you know the Saint Will Magic Association?"

"Of course, I sponsored their tour in Nolan City. I think it should provide a festive entertainment for the general public."

"There's something wrong with their tour."

"Then you should go to the Magic Association instead of suddenly breaking into the home of a local charity businessman in the middle of the night."

Councilor Nero smiled, his skin was exceptionally smooth, and he looked not only young, but also masculine in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Of course, if it's another way, I would choose to sincerely invite you, Master Leon, and these few friends to come to my house as guests. After all, you also know that I have always been full of respect for the Nofinks family."

Dante turned his head and glanced at Leon who was sitting expressionlessly on the chair.

Captain, do you hear me?

They still want to invite you.

Leon tapped the back of the chair lightly with his fingers, and instead of answering the other party's words, he mentioned another seemingly irrelevant matter.

"I heard that you are almost 60 years old this year, right?"

"Seeing that you are well maintained, is there any secret?"
