I draw a card first

Chapter 109

"An enemy?"

Yulia pondered for a moment, flicking her fingertips on her smooth cheeks.

"To be honest, although there are many people who have enmity with the family, it seems that there is only one who is really worth killing? Mr. Aiwen, have you heard of electric energy?"

Seeing that Aiwen's expression was a little strange, Yulia raised her eyebrows and continued to speak softly.

"Promoting the development of electric energy, especially the replacement of kerosene lamps by electric lights, has always been something that my late husband has been working hard to promote."

"Just last week, he submitted a "Lamp Promotion" bill in the city council, which caused a huge sensation and opposition from many people. If someone murdered intentionally, then it is most likely because of this."

Alvin nodded upon hearing this.

As a person who came from the late stage of the Second Industrial Revolution and the era of the information explosion, he is very clear about what is hidden in it.

To put it bluntly, it is a conflict of interest!

It is as if new energy is said to have made some breakthroughs as early as the last century, but because of the obstruction of those oil tycoons and consortia, there is no way to further develop and popularize it for decades.

Any reform, especially energy reform, will touch the original interest cake and attract the crazy counterattack of the old forces.

Before the wheels of history completely crush these guys who represent the ancient past, the wind and rain stirred up by the changes and the brutal fighting in the dark are definitely no worse than any war at the national level.

"The spread of electricity? That's a very likely reason."

After getting the names of several congressmen who opposed the most fiercely from Mrs. Yulia, Aiwen chatted a few words and then turned to leave.

Looking at his retreating figure through the glass window, the hostess here blinked her dark red eyes and suddenly showed an unusually weird smile.

Gently opened Yin Hong's lips, whispering
"Let you help me explore the path, for the sake of glory..."

The voice was low and inaudible, and quietly dissipated.

And someone who didn't notice this scene had already walked out of the main entrance.

After stopping a carriage, he gave an address, and rushed to the new address like a game character who received a task.

The shade of the tree is still green, but the sky has become a bit cloudy at some point, and the dark clouds are gradually swallowing up the original sunshine...

got windy…

The moist and fishy air like a sea breeze brushed over the cheeks, bringing an indescribable stickiness.

"Is this near the sea?"

Ivan thought about the information about this city and found that he really didn't know the geographical environment nearby.

Looking at the driver in front of him, he casually chatted with him, from the difficulty of life to rising prices, and then to the difficulties of raising children for several minutes. Someone pretended to mention inadvertently:
"It's really like taking a break, such as going to the beach to see something."

The coachman replied casually:

"It's not easy. In an island country like ours, from which direction can we not reach the beach? The east side of the city is only a few hours away from the beach."

Silently keeping this information in mind, Aiwen chatted with the other party about something else, but unexpectedly learned more about the background of this copy world.

The country he lives in, which is similar to a constitutional monarchy, is very similar to Britain from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution.

Island country, constitutional monarchy, each city has a high degree of autonomy, and everything is decided by the (noble) parliament.

However, there are many differences between the two.

The first is the development of weapons. The world seems to be very slow. In today's era, cold weapons are still the mainstream.

The front-loading musket, which is extremely troublesome to shoot, has just appeared not long ago, and most of the time it can only be regarded as a strange new thing, circulating among the nobles, the army, the police, and some people with channels.

So, the musket that Aiwen found before is really worth talking about, but it is actually very valuable.

At the same time, the current national sect in this country is not Christianity as some people subconsciously think, but believes in a god named Lord of Radiance.

According to legend, that is the great existence that created the entire world.

It's just that the coachman is not a believer, and he doesn't know much about specific things, so he just brushes it off.

The two chatted, and the sky became more and more gloomy. The howling wind accompanied by faint thunder and lightning, foretelling that a heavy rain seemed to be approaching.

"It's here."

After sending Alvin to the place, the coachman, who was afraid of the rain, hurried away.

Watching the other party go away, Ivan lowered the brim of his hat, turned and walked to another block.

With the help of wooden street signs that can be seen everywhere, he walked for another 10 minutes, and when there were faint raindrops falling in the sky, he finally came to a manor.

This is a huge building complex that is not inferior to the previous Mrs. Yulia's manor.

However, unlike the other party's elegant architectural style, there are not many gardens and woods here, but instead there are large and small stone bunker-style buildings.

"What is this for? Do you miss the old castle era?"

Looking at the three-meter-high city wall, Aiwen looked around, and quickly selected a corner where it was obvious that there were some trees behind the wall.

Compared to other places, there is still a little bit of shelter here. After all, it would be embarrassing to be seen directly by someone who has jumped over the wall.
Of course, the manor has been built so that the defense effect is overwhelming, so naturally it will not easily leave such a big loophole for a bad guy.

Listening to the dense and heavy breathing inside the wall, as well as the occasional barking, Aiwen guessed that there should be a lot of hounds and other beasts in the woods inside. Apparently it will only turn into home delivery.

He might not have much to do with these animal warning devices before, but now, someone is not afraid of this.

Ever since he used the skills in the Paladin inheritance to successfully defeat the thought of an unknown entity that invaded his conscious space, he had successfully recovered part of his abilities as if he had unlocked certain restrictions by playing a game.

Especially the part about Zombie Tyrannosaurus seems to have been further strengthened!

Like now.

Aiwen slightly released a little bit of the pressure of the Zombie Greymon, and the environment where he could occasionally hear the barking of dogs suddenly became silent.

This is something he couldn't do before.

In the past, the transformed state and the untransformed state seemed to have a clear dividing line separating the two.

But now, this boundary has blurred to a certain extent, and there is a tendency to further intensify.

Although I don't know why this happened, the only wrong guess may be related to using the ideology of ZombieGreymon to swallow up the ray of thought, but this does not prevent Ivan from taking advantage of these conveniences.

Jumping in place easily crossed the outer wall and landed in the opposite woods. With a glance, he saw a group of bulldogs lying on the ground trembling.

These dogs were of different breeds, but they were not kind at first glance, they were like a flock of frightened quails, with their heads buried in their paws, not daring to make any movement at all.

After finishing the dogs, I looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby, and Ivan took the box and walked quickly to the shadow of the concave structure on the side of a shorter two-story fortress in front of him.

After patting off the raindrops on the windbreaker, standing under the eaves of this small piece of roof, he began to think about the next plan.
