Chapter 1035 Undercurrent

The renovation progress of the airship Gaussbottom is proceeding in an orderly manner. However, in the corner where the two main parties are not paying attention, undercurrents are quietly connecting and surging.

The Sid had entered the eyes of some people a long time ago. The intelligence organization of the mysterious eastern country, the Haider Empire, is particularly concerned. The empire's most powerful airship corps has been threatened by the ship-cutting swords and flying dragons from the south in recent years, and its military deterrence has declined. Of course, they are eager for updated technology to make their heirloom swords sharper and restore their past glory.

If that magician was in the Haider Empire, he might have already seen how the empire's violent institutions 'requested' a magician to cooperate with them. But unfortunately, that person is in the holy city of Estali, which is an autonomous city for magicians in the Gwana Empire. Coupled with the long distance between the two places and various conditions, Haider's intelligence agency could only use some secret methods.

In addition to the Heidel Empire, there are those who want to fight against the Heidel airship army, and there are also those who want to use new technology to receive rewards, or the highest bidder will get it, and there are also those who simply want to master the secrets of the airship so that they can be in a These people who are making money from this cutting-edge technology have all started to move in unison.

Before today, the famous magician had not established enough connection with the Sid to make it worthwhile for them to take action. But with the reconstruction of the second airship, even if the details are unknown, each new technology that the participants brag about in the tavern makes the people behind it feel jealous.

Considering that the location where the airship was rebuilt was an automobile manufacturing and R&D center, it was the property of Duke Kawei, the Grand Duke of the Gwana Empire, and it was a hen that could lay golden eggs. Therefore, the defensive strength of the center cannot be underestimated, and no one wants to challenge the majesty of a grand duke.

For nobles, touching other people's pockets is no different than declaring war. The hot sales of cars in the holy city of Estali, as well as the fact that half of the Duke's Guards are stationed here, leave no doubt about how much the Grand Duke values ​​this place.

But fortunately, the craftsmen involved in the modification of the airship are not all the kind of people who hide in the automobile manufacturing and R&D center and never leave home for the rest of their lives.

It is true that the people brought by the Grand Duke and the Ruan Chamber of Commerce will stay in the center. Anyway, the internal facilities are complete with food, drink, entertainment and accommodation, so there is no need for them to go out. However, there are also a large number of locals in the Holy City who are participating. These people always want to go home and find a familiar tavern to relax.

It's just... too many people are staring at this group of people who will walk out of the center. Not only did the other people watching the posts discover each other, but even the people being targeted didn't know anything about it. On the contrary, this made everyone feel like they were trying to avoid the enemy, and no one dared to take action first. The situation is so deadlocked.

But a big tree must have dead branches, and a large number of people must have idiots. Not everyone will be concerned about the east and the west. If you are brave enough, you want to give it a try; maybe if you are bold enough to rush in, you will gain something. It's better than sitting there and no one dares to move. People with such thoughts are moved.

The method is also very straightforward. He took his own men, stared at the rosacea-nosed dwarf who boasted the loudest in the tavern these days, and planned to come and rob people.

They first sneaked into the dwarf's home. Nestled in that messy, smelly little house, waiting for the drunken dwarf to come home. At that time, once the bag is covered and the mouth of the bag is tied, the person can be taken back to the secret base for a thorough interrogation.

And then...they became tragic.

The craftsmen of Midland are not the kind of people who know nothing but the skills of their hands. Sometimes they need to go to the wild to collect materials by themselves, and in order to cope with the dangers from nature, even if they do not train themselves into advanced warriors, they will not be weaklings with no strength.

The craftsmen of the Holy City of Estali are not the lowly people in the noble territory who are submissive to the powerful. Living in this city full of magicians, of course you need to know how to bow your head, but more often than not, you need to know how to resist. Otherwise, those masters with high ambitions and low abilities would not mind playing the role of an unscrupulous employer when they meet someone weak, the kind who eats people without spitting out their bones.

Besides, the Technical Guild established by Uzov Gantia, a follower of Guy Blash Tripwood, was able to bring together a group of craftsmen, not just by imitating the system of the Magicians Association to protect magical knowledge. Establishing technology patent protection is just a way to attract craftsmen to join. If it were just that, others would have long tried to replace it, or usurp the dominance of the Technology Guild.

The technology guild relies on not the magician who is famous for his mathematics, but another organization that makes people in the land change their minds - the Turtle Dove Alliance.

Not afraid of authority, not afraid of life and death, and do righteous things in the name of justice.

Regardless of whether everyone in this organization implements this belief and is flawless. No one or force will not feel a headache when encountering this group of paranoid people. So as long as there is no direct conflict of interest, no one wants to be involved with them. This is also the main reason why the Holy City of Estali, a city founded by magicians, allows craftsmen to establish such an organization.

But a stupid young man from out of town may not understand all the details behind this, so they ran into it head on. Then I got a bump on my head...

What is the competition in a weapon fight that does not kill people? Of course there are more people.

These people from out of town, who thought they were powerful dragon forces, were already incredibly powerful if they could pull out more than a dozen people from above. It would be too conspicuous to bring more people to the Holy City. It's no different from notifying the magicians in advance that I'm just here to cause trouble. But the locals have no such concerns.

Once the technical guild gathered, there were nearly ten trucks. A car is like a piggy and can carry thirty or forty people. Craftsmen who usually work with hammers and chisels, when desperate, the tools in their hands will become weapons that can hurt people. A large group of black people sneaked into the target's home and surrounded it inside and outside.

What outsiders think is a secret surveillance has actually fallen into the eyes of the members of the Ikaruga Alliance who are responsible for the security of the technical guild and are employed there. According to the organization and mobilization ability that the Technology Guild is proud of, it couldn't be easier to design a trap to kill the opponent. Therefore, this group of reckless outsiders suffered a huge setback. They tried to escape after receiving the news, but by then it was already too late.

There are also people who have learned the lessons of the previous group of people. They no longer want to use the wait-and-see method to wait for the craftsman selected as the target to passively fall into their hands. Instead, he chose to take the initiative to kidnap people in dark alleys at night.

But how detailed can a 'covert' operation in this era be planned? And for those who come from out of town, where will there be backup to clean up their 'footprints'? It is impossible for them to find local people to cooperate, and no local who is not discerning dares to cooperate with them.

As long as a few clues are left behind, those in the Ikaruga Alliance who are also proficient in this art can always follow the clues to find the kidnapped craftsman. Or maybe it gave the tied craftsman a chance to go to the forum to ask for help. And the final result was that nearly ten trucks gathered and greeted them cordially...the kind with severed arms and legs.

This happened several times, and those who had not yet emerged have given up using such unreasonable means. It's not that they are upright, they are just playing dirty tricks, and they can't play with the crowd.
