Walking on the street, Su Xiao got to know the technological level of Ango City. Extraordinary steam technology has not yet been completely popularized. The price of fuel used to drive the steam core is too high. Electricity has only been popularized in some areas. More functions are
Lighting, which is a derivative of extraordinary steam technology, has not developed matching technology.
The current general situation is that steam weapons are gradually replacing cold weapons, mainly serving heavy industry, and it will take at least several decades, or even a hundred years, to reach universal popularity.
The extraordinary steam science of this world is stuck, and resources do not allow this technology to be widely popularized.
The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, pedestrians wear thicker clothes, and snow can still be seen in some alleys.
Baha swooped down from above and landed on Su Xiao's shoulders.
"Boss, no suspicious people were found nearby, but there are too many thieves. In just a moment, I saw more than a dozen."
Baha looked at the people passing by with some confusion in his eyes. Ango City was so prosperous, but there were so many thieves.
Su Xiao had already thought about this situation before. The House of Parliament is not a country and does not control many troops. Their force comes from the mystics. It is impossible for the mystics to patrol around. As for the police officers in the city, there is no chance of counting on them.
Prosperous on the surface, but chaotic in reality, this is the true appearance of Ango City. This is indeed the center of power, but the Four Kingdoms are curbing the development here to prevent the Parliament from disturbing the balance. The mystics are very strong, but they cannot prevent petty theft.
, the two-level differentiation is serious.
Su Xiao stopped not far away. Someone was following him. There was no obvious malice.
As if aware that Su Xiao had been discovered, the stalker walked out of a clothing store. He was an old man. He was wearing a black waistcoat, loose white cuffs rolled up, holding a cane in his hand, and his beard was neatly groomed.
"Cukulin Baiye, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am Azaz, and I welcome you on behalf of the House of Parliament."
Azaz was quite enthusiastic. He had an old injury on his right leg and had to use a cane when walking. After only following Su Xiao for a few minutes, he started to feel a little breathless and coughed from time to time. His physical condition was not good.
"It's already afternoon. Have you had afternoon tea?"
Azaz's smile was intriguing, which made Baha wary. It felt that the other party had bad intentions.
After a while, under the leadership of Azaz, Su Xiao came to the door of a luxurious restaurant. The reason why Azaz smiled intriguingly before was because he could ask the parliament to reimburse the expenses for welcoming Su Xiao. Of course, he had to take the opportunity to squander it.
one time.
Azaz is obviously not a regular visitor here. He was blocked before entering. This place has a lifetime membership system and only entertains senior officials from the kingdom and parliament.
In front of the luxurious restaurant, from Azaz's lame right leg, it can be seen that he is hiding his embarrassment. He finally managed to make a splurge, but was blocked from the door.
Azaz was not disappointed when he failed to squander money along the way. Under his guidance, he walked through several alleys and arrived in front of the main entrance of the Parliament House.
The Parliament House is a very majestic building, with an overall height of more than 40 meters. There are white stone pillars in front of the main entrance. Guards wearing armor and holding conical guns guard the surroundings of the Parliament House. There are hundreds of people in total.
The eyes of these hundreds of guards look around from time to time, not missing any corner. Everyone's aura is very strong, and the average combat power of each person is seven levels. Even a large seven-level adventure group can't even think of breaking into the parliament. Right now
What we see is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of guard strength. Once this place is attacked, Ange City will be like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed hard.
There was a bang, and two cone guns blocked the way.
"Lord Azaz, please show me the approval document."
The guard's voice was very cold. Except for the eight members and the four kings, if you want to enter the parliament, you must have permission.
Azaz took out the approval document from his arms, and the guard in full body armor just took it and looked at it before letting him go. The interrogation was not strict and he obviously recognized Azaz.
"Two people are allowed to enter, but... you are an alchemist and can bring your alchemy creatures with you."
The guard nodded. Rules are dead, people are alive. The guard chief didn't want to miss the opportunity to make friends with an alchemist master.
Su Xiao walked into the main entrance of the Parliament House. The interior of the Parliament House was not magnificent, but very serious. After entering, there was a hall of several hundred square meters, with two stairs leading to the upper floor.
There were only a few people in the hall, talking in low voices.
Azaz walked towards the stairs with a cane, and Su Xiao was behind. Based on his experience, the contractors would gradually gather towards Ango City, and then the place would be in chaos.
Within three days, he wanted to find clues about the person behind the scenes. He always had the feeling that Ange City was just a springboard, and the final location of the first link of the main mission was where the danger began.
After following Azaz to the third floor and walking around in the corridor a few times, Su Xiao stopped in front of a door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Azaz knocked lightly on the door, but there was no reply. Seeing this, Azaz gently pushed the door open.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a faint 'smell of blood' hit your nostrils.
A man covered in blood was hung upside down, blood dripping from his fingers, and his gorgeous clothes were in tatters, which was caused by being struck quickly with a sharp weapon.
"Puri..."
Azaz was stunned for a moment, and then he clenched his cane tightly. The veins bulged on his neck. At this moment, Azaz looked like an evil ghost.
"Come here, Representative Puri has been killed!"
As soon as Azaz shouted, the glass window in the room exploded, and several guards wearing full body armor jumped into the room, a total of five of them. They quickly surrounded the body of Representative Puri, two of them
Sensing heartbeat and jugular pulse respectively.
"Azaz, you were sad just now."
The 'corpse' hanging upside down in mid-air suddenly opened its eyes, and the five guards around him quickly retreated, all kneeling on one knee, with their heads hanging down.
"You, you, you..."
Azaz held up his cane, which was trembling. From the looks of it, he, who was already very sick, was about to be so angry that he died on the spot.
"Put me down quickly, my brain is congested, and I'm going to burst from holding my urine."
"Yes, sir."
A guard stepped forward quickly, cut the rope with a flick of his hand, and helped Congressman Puri stand upright. This Congressman had nothing to do with seriousness and dignity. He actually pretended to be dead when he had nothing to do, and he even pretended to be dead while holding his urine.
"Master alchemist who has come from afar, my welcome ceremony is not bad."
Councilor Puri shook the blood on his hands, walked past Su Xiao at a fast pace, and went straight to the public toilet on the third floor. However, as soon as he ran a few meters, his pace gradually slowed down. Seeing this, Azaz looked horrified.
'Color.
"No, Puri, hold on, you are an acting member of parliament!"
As a cripple, Azaz burst out with a speed that was not typical of a cripple.
In about ten minutes, Deputy Councilor Puri returned to the room after changing his clothes. He felt relaxed. He almost peed his pants just now.
"Long wait, Kuculin."
Puri sat on the seat next to Su Xiao, with his legs crossed. He didn't look like a congressman, or in other words, he was not a formal congressman at all, but an agent of the congressman.
"There is something very important in inviting you here this time. My old man is not dead..." As if aware of Azaz's unkind gaze, Puri immediately changed his words and said, "My old man, my old father is critically ill. Doctors
I have no other choice, so I invited you here. Thank you for coming all the way from Lehman Kingdom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Puri put down his crossed legs and looked serious. His father was a member of the parliament, and now he is only an acting member, while Azaz is the old member's confidant.
The critically ill old congressman, the unworthy deputy congressman Puri, and Azaz, who has no sense of strength, are the three who invited Su Xiao to the parliament. Among them, there may be the person behind the train hijacking incident.
