Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 366 Visiting the Ice Cave

  When Luke stepped on time to go to work the next day, he just stepped into the floor where the steam engineer was, and he was greeted by a group of colorful fireworks and congratulations from a large group of colleagues who knew and didn’t know.

  The whole floor applauded, causing people on other floors to lie on the patio fence and look here.

  Yesterday, after Luke was invited by the deputy editor-in-chief of "Steam Weekly" Valtaski to do an exclusive interview, Mrs. Yolanda sent people to the editorial office of "Steam Weekly" to inquire about news.

   Facts have proved how wise her decision was. The person who inquired brought her more exciting news than she had imagined.

  It is a great honor for the editor-in-chief Molson to personally write a column for this interview.

  Then the Society of Steam Engineers also sent a congratulatory letter to congratulate Luke, a steam engineer employed by Harut Heavy Industry, on his promotion to a fourth-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers.

  Ms. Yolanda, the director of the steam technology department of Harut Heavy Industry, is also a fourth-level member, and she is the only serving fourth-level member in the entire company.

   One can imagine how much Luke is valued by the editor-in-chief of Molson. The content of this interview must be of extraordinary significance.

   This is the honor of Luke, and also the honor of the steam technology department of Harut Heavy Industries.

  Mrs. Yolanda decides to hold a welcome party for Luke.

Among the welcoming steam engineers, Mrs. Yolanda stepped forward with applause, and said to Luke: "Let everyone see your fourth-level membership certificate of the Society of Steam Engineers. To be honest, I still dare not Believe the news I received last night, I thought it was a joke from the Society of Steam Engineers.

   You didn't bring it, did you? "

   "Of course, I still need to register with the company." Luke took out the fourth-level membership certificate from the briefcase he was carrying, and handed it to Mrs. Yolanda.

Mrs. Yolanda took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Luke, and said with great emotion: "It's unbelievable, what did you talk about with the editor-in-chief Molson, and asked him to write a recommendation letter to the Society of Steam Engineers in person, breaking the rules for you?" Apply for promotion.

   You must know that it took me 25 years to upgrade from the first level to the fourth level, and I don’t know how many times I failed the application during this period.

   Really enviable!

  Let's go, go to my office... Your future work needs to be rearranged. "

   "Yes, Mrs. Yolanda."

  The company’s production tasks were heavy, and the welcome meeting ended quickly. While the steam engineers were finishing their work, they were talking about the blockbuster Luke.

   Come to Mrs. Yolanda's office.

After Luke sat down, Mrs. Yolanda said: "I'm curious about what you talked about with Editor-in-Chief Molson, but the professional code makes it inconvenient for me to ask you. If it can be made public, it should be available in the new one." As seen in the issue of Steam Weekly.

  Let's talk about your work.

  As a fourth-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers, the company will soon send someone to negotiate a new contract with you, and the Steam Technology Department will also adjust according to your requirements.

   Whatever you want to say, you have the power now. "

  Luke said: "I want to continue to check the underground steam pipes."

  Mrs. Yolanda was stunned.

   "Are you kidding me? An Institution of Steam Engineers class 4 to check underground pipes... Do you know what class 4 means in winter?"

   "Of course I know, please listen to my thoughts, Mrs. Yolanda."

   "Okay, you say it!"

  Luke made up a reason in order to win this job so that he could complete the rest of the esoteric ritual arrangement.

   "The conversation between me and the editor-in-chief Molsson was not confidential. The main thing was to realize the internal thermal energy cycle based on the duality of water molecules, and to develop a steam engine with duality of water molecules.

  Editor-in-chief Molson will write a letter to Mr. Elvis, the owner of the company, to open a steam laboratory for the two-phase steam engine of water molecules, and I will be responsible for the development of the new steam engine.

  The preparations for the steam lab should still take some time. Therefore, I would like to use this time to continue to look up at the underground steam system in Dongdu, so as to complete my thesis on the steam cycle system I envisioned. "

  After listening to Luke's explanation, Mrs. Yolanda couldn't help being awed.

   "It turns out that you have been working so hard to study the underground steam system of Winter Capital. No wonder Editor-in-Chief Molson values ​​you so much. Your dedication and seriousness to steam technology surpasses all the steam engineers here.

  Since your future work has been arranged, you can do whatever you want during the preparation of your laboratory.

   It's just... your security team is going to be reassigned, and the guards will be strengthened. You are an inestimable asset to the company. "

  Speaking of the security team, Luke asked by the way: "No news from Norton and Harry yet?"

  Madam Yolanda shrugged: "There is no news. The military has issued a arrest warrant for the whole territory, but there has been no trace of them."

   "Is Rebecca back?"

  Ms. Yolanda thought for a while: "After the company negotiated with Ice Grove, Ice Grove released a group of employees. It's just that Rebecca's name doesn't seem to be on the list of executable tasks submitted by the security department.

   After all, Norton, Harry and she belong to the same security team, and the ice cave will not release her easily.

  These incompetent agents, having lost a group of people themselves, vented their grievances on innocent people. Rest assured, the company is still putting pressure on the ice cave, and Rebecca will be fine. "

  In fact, Luke has already let Qingkong get information from the intelligence station of the Secret Service, and Rebecca is still being imprisoned in the ice cave. The Ice Cave Agent conducted several rounds of interrogation on her, but Rebecca didn't say anything, and she received a lot of punishment for it.

  At the gate of his home, two agent teams were wiped out in succession, and the Ice Cave agents were all suffocated. Moreover, the so-called rebel army has never been found, and when the Harut company came to ask for someone, they sneered at them again.

  Bingku released a group of people under the pressure of the company, but the rest of the people were detained more tightly. Someone must ask them to investigate this case.

  After the company fished out most of the employees, it didn't care so much about rescuing the rest.

  Rebecca can be said to have been abandoned by the company. Even if she doesn't say anything, it is very likely that she will be charged with a crime in the end and be taken by Bingku to work.

  Luke is too familiar with this kind of way.

   "Ms. Yolanda...During the time I was working, Rebecca has been in charge of my close protection. She is a very professional and responsible security guard. If it is replaced by another person, I may not be able to adapt.

  Can the steam technology department come forward and save Rebecca? "

   Regarding Luke's request, Mrs. Yolanda thought about it for a while: "Rebecca is a member of the security department, and if our steam technology department came forward...it would be too flattering on her.

  Just a low-level security guard, do you really need her? "

  Luke said: "The ice cave is not a good place, I want to give Rebecca some help."

  Mrs. Yolanda looked at Luke and seemed to understand something. She smiled and said: "You have been working since you came to Winter Capital, so I guess you haven't met too many women. I advise you not to waste too much emotion on a low-level security guard. You are now a fourth-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers. Even a lover should choose carefully.

  When I have time, I will take you to some high-class parties, where there are many beautiful and educated ladies from famous families. "

  Luke knew that Yolanda misunderstood his relationship with Rebecca, he replied: "Thank you, Mrs. Yolanda, I am indeed too addicted to work. I really want to save Rebecca..."

"Since you are so persistent..." Yolanda took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote on it, finally stamped her own seal, and handed it to Luke: "Until your exclusive security team is in place, you cannot enter the underground, today There is no other job for you either.

  Take my handwriting and go to the headquarters of the ice cave, they will give Rebecca to you. "

   "Thank you very much, Mrs. Yolanda." Luke took the handwritten letter and put it in his briefcase.

   "Remember my advice to you, don't let your private life become a hindrance to your progress. When the new issue of "Steam Weekly" is released, you will become the star that the ladies of Winter City will compete for."

   "I understand, ma'am..."

  Luke left the company and hailed a taxi on the side of the road to go to the ice cave headquarters. When the Ice Cave agents who followed behind him followed to his lair, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, "What is he running here for?"

  The headquarters of the Ice Cave is surrounded by a high wall, the fence is pulled by a power grid, and there are heavily armed Ice Cave agents on duty on the sentry tower. Inside the walls is an agent training camp, and the core of the ice cave is underground.

  Luke showed his ID to indicate his intention, and entered the ice cave through the gate.

  Here is the real ice cave, there is no internal heating system, and the people inside must bear the same severe cold as the outside. This is the working environment of the ice cave agent, in order to hone the will of the ice cave agent.

  Even the Ice Cave Agents have to endure such cold, one can imagine what the conditions of the people imprisoned here are.

  After Luke handed Mrs. Yolanda's manuscript to the relevant agents, he sat on a cold bench and waited.

   Not long after, a woman in an ice cave uniform came over with a cup of coffee.

   "Hello, Mr. Luke, would you like a cup of coffee?"

   Luke looked up.

  The tight-fitting top has a slender waist, and the one-step skirt wraps the round buttocks. Flesh-colored stockings, black boots...

  Dare to dress like this, he is definitely not an ordinary ice cave agent.

  Luke has already found the information of the woman in front of him in the mobile phone database.

  Darikova: The ace agent who directly belongs to Raymond Helkkin, the head of the ice cave, is much higher than the dead Enoch.

  Luke took the coffee in Darikova's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, beautiful lady. It is the most wonderful thing to drink a cup of hot coffee in this cold place."

  Darikova took advantage of the situation and sat next to Luke, looking at him with big blue eyes: "I can feel the heat radiating from your body from a long distance, you are a powerful mage!"

Luke took a sip of coffee, tasted the delicate taste, and then replied: "If you want to be an excellent steam engineer, you must first become an excellent mage. Traditional steam technology can no longer meet the development of efficient steam utilization. , Combining magic and alchemy can create a better steam engine.

   I have been waiting for a long time, when will I meet the person I am looking for. "

  Darikova has been staring at Luke, her eyes are full of emotion, but her words are full of temptation: "Rebecca is preparing...Before that, I want to ask you a few questions?"

  Luke said: "Before you, an agent has already asked me a question. I don't want to answer it a second time. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

   "You mean Commander Enoch? He's dead!"

  Darikova observed Luke's expression, waiting for his answer.

   "Dead?" Luke frowned: "That's really a pity."

   "Do you want to know how he died?"

   "I don't want to..." Luke didn't follow Darikova's rhythm, he refused: "I don't want to have too many intersections with you people, your life and death have nothing to do with me."

  Darikova threatened: "You don't seem to know who you are talking to. This is an ice cave. I can buy you hot coffee or iced coffee."

Luke summoned a fireball to heat the coffee in his hand, and at the same time sarcastically said: "You don't seem to know who you are talking to. The Ice Cave Agent... is just a dog raised by the superiors. You can bring ice coffee if you have it. "

   Being derogated to a dog angered Darikova: "I can see that you really want to drink the iced coffee here."

  When the confident Luke was about to tease Darikova again, a reprimand came: "Darikova, what are you doing? You are so disrespectful to Mr. Luke!"

  Hearing the reprimand, Dalikova immediately stood up and saluted the people who came: "Mr. President!"

  The person who came here was Helkkin, the head of the ice cave.

  He came to Luke and ordered Dalikova angrily: "Apologize to Master Luke!"

   "Big, Master?"

  Darikova had a question mark on her face.

  Helkkin said: "This morning, the Society of Steam Engineers updated its membership list, and a new member was added to the fourth-level membership, and that is Mr. Luke.

   If I hadn't come here in time, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into? "

  Darikova was a little dumbfounded.

   Doesn't the data show that he is not a first-class member of the Society of Steam Engineers? Why did he suddenly become a fourth-level member?

   Got it wrong!

  After Hulkkin winked frequently, Dalikova could only give in, and she saluted Luke: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Luke... I apologize to you for my recklessness!"

  Luke handed over the coffee in his hand: "This cup of coffee is too hot, let me ice it before bringing it here."

"Don't do what Mr. Luke said!" Herkkin drove Darikova away, and then invited Luke with a smile: "Go to my office... I am a loyal reader of "Steam Weekly". Let me tell you what you talked about with the editor-in-chief Molson, which made him value you so much."

Luke knew that there must be nothing good for Helkkin to invite him to his office, so he said without any face: "Before the new issue of "Steam Weekly" is released, anything I talked about with the editor-in-chief Molson It's top secret.

  Master, the content of our conversation made me jump directly from the first-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers to the fourth-level member. Do you really want to hear it? "
