Chapter 371 The Lost Power

Because of his status and power, as well as coincidence and choice, Baron Bart summoned Xia Yanzhen, a natural disaster.

But also because of his identity, he won a glimmer of hope for himself.

Xia Yan really wanted to "know oneself and the enemy" better through him.

He glanced at the darkness behind Baron Bart and made a gesture.

In the darkness, Tiamat appeared, her flaming eyes showing aloof emotions, and she glanced at Baron Bart as if she were sweeping a dead object.

Although the dragon's power has been restrained, the huge, ferocious, solemn and ancient appearance looming in the darkness still makes Baron Bart's heart tremble.

"This...is this a dragon?" Baron Bart couldn't help but ask.

The tone in his voice was not the horror of seeing a legendary creature and having his worldview impacted, but a feeling of "it's really like this".

"Have you seen it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"No...this..." Baron Bart said, "I just didn't expect that there are dragons now."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Xia Yanzhen said.

Nowadays there are dragons, which is very interesting.

"According to records in some historical documents. A long time ago, there were some very powerful creatures on this land. They had a larger appearance and more power than ordinary beasts, and were called monsters." Baron Bart said, "Later, As time goes by, the magical beasts gradually disappear. The most powerful magical beasts are dragons. Their shadows can be found in many stories passed down.

"Some archaeologists have even discovered huge skeletons that are suspected to be dragons."

"Where are the people?"

"Um?"

"Are there extraordinary monsters or extraordinary people?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

At present, Linton and Inver's steam technology is undoubtedly a "black technology", which is an extraordinary and abnormal power in conventional understanding.

So, what about beyond that?

Do they have other powers?

Just rely on steam technology to conquer the world?

"Yes. The old nobles once held some extremely powerful power, and that power was passed down through the blood and continued their rule." Baron Bart said, "But now, they are ordinary people like us."

To be more precise, it is not the old aristocracy that holds the power.

But he became a noble after he mastered the power.

"The 'spiritual energy' is exhausted, gradually evolving into a demon-free era, and embarking on the path of extraordinary steampunk." Xia Yanzhen made a rough summary of the current situation of this mission world in his heart.

He looked at Baron Bart and asked, "Are you sure those old nobles have really lost all their power and become ordinary people?"

"I was sure before, otherwise how could we divide their power?" Baron Bart smiled bitterly, "But now, I don't know."

I don’t know why, it’s because of Jack the Ripper.

Because of Xia Yanzhen, and even more because of the dragon in front of him.

There are living dragons, so why must there be no other living monsters, or even nobles (descendants) who still possess extraordinary power?

Baron Bart no longer had any confidence.

"Let's go find that Earl Marvin."

Xia Yanzhen did not continue the relevant topic.

The earl Bart mentioned should allow Xia Yan to see the steam mechanical armor and the current mainstream "power" in this mission world.

"Leave now?" Baron Bart hesitated.

In this era, after losing their original powerful power, the old nobles desperately wanted to maintain their former glory.

He is very particular about many things to show his nobility and difference.

The new aristocrats who want to rise to power also pursue these things. They divide the power in the hands of the old aristocrats through integration.

Instead of smashing the decay of the past and starting anew.

With the "efforts" of both parties, various noble etiquettes have made many simple things very complicated.

For example, for a simple meeting, you need to first send your own butler or an important role such as head maid to the other person's home with a letter to inform the other person of the same status.

After agreeing, the housekeeper or head maid will go to the initiator's home with a carefully crafted letter. Everyone exchanges letters and then determines the time.

After confirming the time and place, send an invitation letter to your door as a formal invitation, and then come back with a reply letter.

Finally, the real meeting.

If I want to meet someone, my butler or head maid must make at least two trips to meet someone. It would not be considered rude.

The other party's is almost the same.

And during this process, everyone is not allowed to meet each other (accidents are not counted), otherwise it will be rude.

For example, I send a housekeeper, the housekeeper comes back with a reply, and then I come directly to the door.

That's rude.

What is even more rude than this is that what Xia Yanzhen wants now is to go directly to someone else’s house without saying a word - but to be honest, even in the real world and modern society, it is not enough to go directly to someone else’s house without even saying hello. Not suitable.

And the most rude thing, which is enough to make people die, is to not even wear clothes and bring evil guests to the door.

Now Baron Bart is going to do just that.

But does Baron Barthe dare refuse?

Of course he didn't dare. He didn't even dare to ask for a piece of clothing to cover his body.

He could only be held by Tiamat and fly into the sky. He looked at Linton, who had fallen into darkness in most areas, and tried hard to distinguish and point out the direction.

The night wind passes through the body and takes away some of the heat.

Fortunately, Baron Bart is fat enough, and the blood-patterned armor can also play a certain role in keeping out the cold.

I don't feel cold.

But after tonight, if he doesn't replenish enough food in time, he will become seriously ill.

The blood pattern armor embedded on the body, the fuel consumed by the "internal combustion engine" is blood.

The most basic, superficial and important thing about internal combustion engines and steam technology is "boiling water".

Boiling water brings powerful "energy".

But most people don't know that there is a kind of "burning" that can bring greater power than boiling water.

That is "burning blood".

Blood is the best fuel for steam engines.

In Lingtong at night, even if there is light in the upper town and parts of midtown, it is very limited.

The residents who had not yet fallen asleep were unable to notice that there was a dragon passing silently in the night sky above their heads.

Those kerosene lamps, and compared to the whole of Lingtong, were just a few scattered electric lights.

The light emitted by the two was completely insufficient to illuminate the night sky.

The black night sky is where Tiamat soars freely.

"There, that's where it is."

Returning to the upper city, Baron Bart pointed to a villa garden and said.

"Who is this Earl Marvin?"

Xia Yanzhen didn't go down immediately, but asked.

"He is an old aristocrat, but he is not that stubborn." Baron Bart said, "He is the head of the royal steam research and development institute, and the steam mechanical armor comes from the research and development institute."

"Does he have one at home?"

"I have a first-generation armor in my home..." Baron Bart said.

Today, steam mechanical armor is already in its fourth generation and has long been mass produced and put into actual combat.

Just like in ancient times, weapons and armor are forbidden.

Nobles, old and new alike, can have steam guns.

But steam mechanical armor, except for the royal family, the law stipulates that any private ownership is illegal.

But you can take advantage of the loopholes, and those armors before the fourth generation can be collected.

The first-generation armor can be regarded as a rather precious collection.

"Can it still be used?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"It depends on the situation, not necessarily." Baron Bart was not sure either.

If it's a third-generation armor, then don't think about it, it can definitely be used.

The so-called collection is just taking advantage of the loopholes.

Including Baron Bart's home, there are actually "collections".

It's just that Xia Yanzhen was too fast and kidnapped the baron directly before the elite bodyguards had time to put on the armor.

Wearing armor is not simple and requires a dedicated fitting room and fitting personnel.

If you are proficient, it will take about five minutes; if you are not proficient, it will take at least ten minutes.

The armor collection can be displayed openly.

The assembly room will be built underground.

It was a similar situation at Earl Marvin's house.

"So, if I fight in now, I won't be able to feel the combat effectiveness of the armor?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Baron Bart nodded repeatedly: "If you want to truly feel the power of the fourth generation armor, you can talk to Count Marvin and make arrangements."

We are all civilized people. What is the matter that we cannot sit down and talk about?

It's not good to have to fight and kill people.

"Okay."

Xia Yanzhen signaled Tiamat to descend.

After descending to almost the same level, he jumped down and took Baron Bart with him.

Tiamat took off again and found a hidden place to stay.

Linton has an old river that runs through the entire city, with a developed water system and lakes.

Tiamat can be hidden in the Old River, making it difficult to find.

According to the rules of DND, the red dragon is not a black dragon of the water system, but should be counted as a "fire system". The living area is warm mountains, but this does not mean that it cannot survive in water.

Tiamat is a special Nether Red Dragon, and survival in the water is not a problem at all for it.

The place where Xia Yanzhen and Baron Bart landed was the area behind the villa.

This is not a "facade", it is relatively dark and there are no people around.

"call."

Xia Yanzhen pushed Baron Bart.

"Shout?" Baron Bart's eyes widened. Do you want him to shout like this?

"Otherwise, can you meet with Count Marvin?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Knock on the door, I'll knock on the door." Baron Bart said through gritted teeth.

The servants in the Earl's Mansion are all well-trained.

When you see him like this, you will definitely not make any noise, but will immediately tell the superiors, from the housekeeper to the earl himself.

There are three people in charge, and they are less social.

Baron Bart went over and knocked on a small door at the back.

After a moment, the door opened.

Then, a sharp cry sounded.

A very loud soprano pierced the quiet sky above the villa.

Baron Bart showed a desperate expression, wishing he could commit suicide on the spot, so that he would at least "die" cleanly.

As the soprano sounded, the villa ushered in a bustle.

About ten minutes passed.

In the living room, Baron Bart was sitting wrapped in a large blanket, trying not to look at the person opposite.

A man dressed as a butler said apologetically to Baron Bart: "Sorry, Your Majesty, Baron, I haven't found clothes that fit your size for the time being."

"fine."

Baron Bart answered very difficultly, "Bring me a message home, saying that I am fine and asking them to wait quietly at home."

"As you wish." The butler bowed and quietly exited the living room.

There were only three people left in Nuo Da's living room.
