The Sun King's Evidence

"On the way to escape my fate, I sing a song of separation that is getting further and further away."

"How far in the future is the person I'm waiting for?"

Elena held a cup of ordinary Tyrell coffee and felt sorry for herself. Naturally, this female model could not afford to drink the Arabi coffee that Sulia ordered. This kind of coffee was imported from Arabi and cost more than one hundred gold marks per pound. Su Leah ordered two drinks and asked for twenty gold marks.

Her words made both Ryan and Sulia look a little embarrassed. Ryan originally wanted to say something, but he respected Sulia. Since the female knight signaled her to solve this problem, as her husband, Ryan naturally remained silent. I also understand what the female model in front of me is planning.

"I'm sorry, coffee always reminds me a lot." Elena said a few words, but found that neither Lidya Su nor Ryan had a cold, so she quickly changed her tone: "It's a little abrupt, no. Sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Sulia calmly used a silver coffee spoon to add sugar cubes to the coffee, stirred slowly with a small spoon, then held the handle of the cup with her hand, picked up the coffee, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "Yi Miss Lena is really funny and makes me feel that Nuer is indeed slightly different from other places in the empire."

Elena's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say: "That's for sure. Nuer is different from other places in the empire. This is the best place in the empire."

"The best in the Empire? Maybe, but I know that this is the Empire's favorite place to drink coffee." Sulia smiled brightly. The female knight always maintained elegant etiquette. Her every move was watched by Elena. And remembering it, the female model tried hard to imitate her movements: "Does Mrs. Sulia also like drinking coffee?"

"Occasionally." Lidya Su still smiled.

"Oh! Tasting coffee is really the most wonderful thing in the world. The work is very tiring. I am so tired that there is only a shell left. How can I be ideal? My soul has been hollowed out and I am just breathing like a walking zombie." Elena also followed suit. Sulia held the coffee in her hand: "But every time the bitter coffee slides down my throat, I can remember that life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and the distance~"

After hearing these words, Ryan almost spit out all the coffee in his mouth.

Poetry and the distance...Miss, are you really willing to leave Nuer?

Not to mention the Chaos Wasteland in the North and the Badlands in the South, you are afraid that you won’t even go to the Midden Territory and the Wesen Territory, right?

Holy Grail Crusade, please.

"Miss Elena, seems to be troubled by emotional problems?" Sulia said lightly: "I can feel a little bit from your words."

"Mrs. Sulia, don't you think that some men nowadays are really not considerate enough?" Elena blurted out immediately and naturally: "Sometimes I really envy you. You can marry love, but I can only wait. ."

"So what does Miss Elena's ideal man look like?" Sulia stirred the coffee spoon twice in the cup.

"I don't have too high requirements. I just need to be handsome, make money, be gentle and considerate, understand me, and know how to celebrate some festivals and anniversaries together." Elena said softly: "Otherwise, it means a decrease in the quality of life. , I will not invest my youth and life in marriage."

"Then I think I'm lucky, my husband is like this." Sulia smiled softly, and she held Ryan's hand: "We are celebrating our anniversary together."

The female model's expression immediately changed. She immediately realized what was happening and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't know..."

"It doesn't matter, chance encounters are also part of the surprise." Sulia raised her swan-like neck, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her sea-blue eyes: "I'm very happy to meet you by chance today."

"Thank you... Then, can I be lucky enough to get your contact address?" Elena's face changed, and she was obviously reluctant to leave like this.

"Of course, if you have anything, you can come here to find me." Lidya Su casually gave Elena a contact address. The female model held the piece of paper and left with great gratitude, not wanting to leave before leaving. After glancing at Ryan, who never said a word, she had no choice but to leave the cafe in three steps and then look back.

"This is Noor." Ryan picked up the coffee and drank the remaining coffee. He smiled: "Looking at her smile after getting your contact address, it's like she got the aristocratic circle of Emilia's palace. Pass."

"That's her freedom." Lidya Su looked at her husband while holding the coffee: "It's like whatever she says is her freedom."

"When this freedom faced me, it was about feelings, but when it faced Afu before, it was about conditions." Ryan put down the coffee cup: "The female citizens of Nuer are different from other places in the empire. They often have their own Working, they can support themselves, so they can come to Starbucks and drink coffee, they can buy expensive lace dresses and those real leather bags, which gives them the illusion.”

After saying that, Ryan suddenly laughed: "I don't have a house in Nuer."

"Yes, why has the quality of life declined after marriage?" Sulia sighed in a low voice. The female knight shook her head. She noticed that the store manager was back: "Let's not talk about this for now, our answer is here."

The couple stopped moving, and the female store manager came back. She held a list in her hand and quickly approached: "Sir, Mr. Ryan, Mrs. Sulia, I asked the boss, and he said that he can provide information, but please keep it confidential. ."

"Okay." Lidya Su nodded in agreement. Ryan and Lidya Su stood up together and followed the store manager to the backstage.

The female store manager showed an order paper, she bowed and said: "The person who ordered this cup of coffee was Noor's Golden Smile Music Hall. They ordered ten cups of coffee in one go, all of which were exactly the same. This square scarf is exactly the same." One cup of it.”

"Golden Smile Concert Hall?" Ryan frowned, and the clue ended here.

"Yes, Golden Smile." The female store manager explained again: "This was an order a week ago. At that time, Golden Smile held a concert, so many guests ordered coffee."

Now both Ryan and Sulia felt that they were in trouble. The banquet in the music hall must be open to the public. There are many people coming. The nobles and citizens of Nuer all like music. Who will remember who took which glass during the banquet? Coffee, what's the number?

"But the waiter who went to deliver the goods remembered that this square scarf was given to a lady. She was wearing a mask and a round hat, and her face could not be seen clearly. After receiving the goods, she only said thank you. , and then handed the order paper to the waiter as evidence." The female store manager continued.

"Can you show me the order paper?" Ryan continued.

"Of course." The female store manager Doris delivered the order paper to Ryan's hand. It was an ordinary order paper, except for some wine stains on it. Ryan carefully identified it for a long time and shook his head regretfully: " It seems that the clue has been lost...Lidya Su?"

"No, the clue is not broken! You don't know how wrong you are, dear." The female knight took the order paper directly from her husband's hand, put it under her nose, and smelled it gently: "Well, this It’s the smell of sunshine, Bordelao, Broken Valley! It’s the smell of sunshine in Broken Valley! A lady’s unique love for Bordelao.”

"The taste of wine barrels made of fine sandalwood... This wine barrel has been aged for some time, and the dark liquor combines the pleasant aroma of oak, truffle, rose, strawberry, flue-cured tobacco, and coffee."

"Obviously, this is the 1453 Bordeaux Broken Valley wine, a first-class Obiang wine, also called Hongyanrong." Sulia put down the order paper: "Perhaps, we can send someone to ask Bo Derek His Excellency the Duke’s export manager in Noor? Not everyone can afford red wine at this price.”

The expressions of the female store manager and Ryan were dull.

"Why, what's so strange?" Sulia put down the order paper and stared at her husband playfully: "As the daughter of the Duke of Winford, don't you know that I can taste and identify the food produced in Britannia? All the wine?”

"You always bring me surprises, my lady!" Ryan happily hugged Sulia directly: "That's great!"

"How can I be your wife if I'm not awesome?" Sulia smiled happily in the envious eyes of the female store manager.

…………I am the dividing line of Long Live Madam……

After getting the new clues, Lane immediately ordered the Oliver Chamber of Commerce branch in Noor to find out how many bottles of the 1453 Bordeaux Break Valley first-class Obiang wine had flowed into Noor in the past few years, and Bordeaux Of course, the parties are aware of Ryan's energy and are willing to cooperate, but it will take a long time to investigate the whereabouts of these wines. Ryan and the others can only wait patiently. The Revelers Association is extremely hidden.

At this time, the Nuer City Council finally passed a proposal to allow Lane and others to visit the Nuer Arms Factory. Lane and others who came from afar could finally visit the Nuer Arms Factory and the Nuer Gunnery Academy.

Speaking of which, this visit request was quite tortuous. When Ryan proposed that he wanted to visit the Nuer Military Factory and Nuer Guns Academy, Nuer's first reaction was to refuse.

The reason is also very good. Nuer Arsenal and Nuer Guns Academy have the best muskets, cannons, and war machines in the entire empire. Although the most cutting-edge muskets and artillery are more powerful than the Torrent Pass technology where the Dwarf Engineers Association is located. It's still a little short of that, but this is already the pinnacle of human technology, at least for this world.

What's more important is that the Nur Military Factory is the only place in the empire capable of producing and repairing steam tanks. Moreover, this military factory has recently taken on a huge order, with countless imperial engineers, high-level technical workers and dwarves. Engineers are gathering to build a new and terrifying war machine.

No matter how good Ryan's relationship with the empire is, he is from another country after all, and his special relationship with Dame Emmanuel makes the entire Noor noble circle dislike him. When he expressed the hope to go to Noor When I visited the Seoul Military Factory, I naturally encountered a lot of resistance, and many nobles were opposed.

The final approval was based on two points. The first was the large orders that Ryan had brought to Noor Military Factory in recent years. As an important big customer (including Fulgen's super large orders), he made the request. A visit to the military factory is blameless. The second point is the attitude of Countess Emmanuel. She rarely told the nobles of Noor in a clear attitude at the city council that this is my man. Let’s see what’s wrong with him. ?

This allowed Lane and others to visit the Nuer Arms Factory and the Nuer Guns Academy.

The entire factory complex is like a fortress, with solid brick walls dividing a series of stone buildings. With factories, blacksmith shops, furnaces and warehouses, Fulgan's military orders have far exceeded Nuer's estimated production capacity. No matter whether it is day or night, the forging fire has never been extinguished, leaving the entire city filled with acrid smoke. shrouded.

Large sums of gold and silver from Lustria were brought into Nuer's warehouse, and were replaced by never-ending flames and forging. The entire Nuer arsenal was exuding terrifying vitality, and workers were working in three or even two shifts. Working in the factory from side to side, not only did no one feel tired due to the 996 work system, on the contrary, the entire factory was caught up in some kind of frenzy caused by production.

It's very simple. The more Nuer Arms Factory does, the more it earns. The huge profits brought by large orders make the workers cheer, because their salaries have also increased significantly. At this time, no one despises the hard work, and they are not afraid of too many orders. , even if there is no order, Dame Emmanuel has very strict control over this aspect.

Today, everyone is here to visit Nur, or the highest technological crystallization of the entire empire - the steam tank.

Speaking of steam tanks, everyone's impression is of a creepy steel behemoth. In war, it will roar towards the enemy with steam. The ultra-thick steel plate and powerful steam driving force can crush it in war. Crush all enemies. The steam cannon's shells can be released on the fly, firing death shells at the enemy. It is the ultimate weapon of the empire. Only when the war is critical and the fate of mankind is in danger, the engineering masters of the empire will Consider whether to use this kind of killer weapon.

The person who received everyone was Gunter Maybach, the chief engineer of the Noor Military Factory. This was a middle-aged man whose whole body smelled of gunpowder and coal. He held a wrench in his hand and said to the people who entered the military factory: " On the battlefield, the tank commander will decide how to use the steam tank, whether to ram or shoot. This thing is indeed very powerful, but relying too much on steam power may also cause the steam boiler to explode."

"I see, then what is the design principle of the steam boiler? The dwarf's compressed steam drive technology?" Ryan nodded and asked the Maybach engineer.

"Yes, it is the technology of the dwarves. In fact, to this day, we still lack a complete understanding of the steam technology of the dwarves." Chief Engineer Maybach nodded: "Because of this, the design and manufacture of steam tanks are very difficult. We all need to make each part by hand with precision, and it also takes a long time to continuously debug until it is ensured that it can be used and put into combat. This is a long process.”

"So, this is the reason why you can manufacture every component of the steam tank, repair every fault, and modify the steam tank according to the needs of the battlefield, but you can't create a new steam tank?" Ryan pinched his chin and said casually. teased.

"Who told you that our Nur Military Factory can't manufacture new steam tanks?" Who knew that the great engineer frowned, and he said with some displeasure: "Of course we can manufacture new steam tanks, please don't underestimate it. Our level! Our Nuer Military Factory can produce a brand new steam tank every one to two years!"

After saying that, the big engineer muttered to himself for a while. He suddenly understood. He raised the wrench in his hand and waved it: "Oh, Mr. Ryan, I understand what you mean."

"You got the wrong question."

"I suppose you are talking about the works of the master Leonardo da Miragliano?"
