[Investor]
The head of the Steam Knights, who personally controlled the economic lifeline of the Sacred City.
At the same time, as the designer and creator of the Steam City, he introduced the steam technology of the Sacred City to a new level.
Because of his special identity, he had the right to attend all kinds of meetings as a substitute. His real body was always in the [Treasury].
Even the internal members of the Steam Knights, more than 80% of them had never seen Investor's real body.
The one who appeared at the Knights Conference and threw an olive branch to Han Dong was only a mechanical substitute of Investor.
"Investor is also here today?"
"With the return of the expeditionary army, the [Great Change] has entered the final stage. Some things must be decided by Investor himself.
Currently, Investor is discussing the [Dark Side Construction] with the Great Demon, Grim Reaper, the leader of the Night Watchmen, Kodan, and Lightless Jack Mason who had just returned.
The meeting should be over soon. Just wait a little. "
Under the lead of Mr. Newton, they walked to the connection point between the Holy Ring and the Pillar of Steam.
"Is the meeting room not in the Holy Ring?"
"The Holy Ring is mainly used to supervise, promote, and integrate the Sacred City as a whole.
The head of the meeting room is located at the top of the Pillar of Steam, which is the [Treasury Compartment]. It is the closest to Investor's living room and is convenient for him to move around. "
"Treasury?"
"That is Investor's residence. He has not left for decades.
It is natural that you have not been there. After all, even within the Knights, only the captain level and above is allowed to fill in the treasury application. Whether you can enter or not still needs Investor's personal permission.
The treasury is piled with treasures collected since the establishment of the Sacred City, as well as special gold brought out from different destiny spaces.
Treasures are everything to Investor.
Whether it is the most basic food, clothing, housing, or physical and spiritual enjoyment, they are all inseparable from treasures.
When you go up later, use this as a greeting gift. Investor should be very happy. "
After saying that.
Mr. Newton took out a gold coin that emitted a dark glow from his chest pocket.
"Thank you, Mr. Newton."
From the built-in elevator of the Pillar of Steam to the top, only Newton had the authority to directly activate it.
When the elevator door opened, they happened to meet a group of heads who had just finished a meeting.
Except for the Lightless Jack Mason of the Wind Knight Regiment, which he wasn't familiar with, the others could be considered old acquaintances.
The Great Fiend stared at the two people in front of him and asked out of consideration for Han Dong.
"Newton, why did you bring Nicholas here?"
"Nicholas has been secretly providing biotechnology support to our Steam Knights. The 'Transformation Plan' that radiates to the civilian area this time is also largely due to the technical assistance provided by Nicholas.
Currently, there is an important technical discussion that requires Nicholas to discuss with the investor face to face. "
"Don't try anything funny."
"The Great Demon Leader really doesn't trust us … Besides, during the Great Expedition, Nicholas had single-handedly killed a Mythical Body from a foreign land. Even if I had any ideas, I wouldn't dare to carry them out."
Newton put his arm around Han Dong's shoulder and headed straight for the vault.
The Great Fiend also secretly left a demonic mark on Han Dong. If anything went wrong, he would personally step in.
After experiencing the Great Expedition and the private conversation with Demps, he realized that "Han Dong" must be an important gear that drove the world. He was irreplaceable.
…
The vault door made of pure gold was about six meters tall.
Mr. Newton directly used the way he opened the door as the Deputy Head. Unique decoding stripes appeared between his arms and stuck to the surface of the door.
The decoding stripes immediately resonated with the door, and there was a mechanical sound of unlocking from inside.
Finally, using the simplest brute force, he pushed the door inwards.
During this time, Mr. Newton's arms bulged with rather exaggerated muscle stripes. Tiny gear structures could be vaguely seen between the muscles.
Seeing this scene, Han Dong remembered what he had heard about the "Wise Men of the Holy City."
The people who were called "Wise Men" were scattered in various areas of the Holy City. The two most famous were Black and White and Newton. At the same time, the characteristics of the two were opposite.
Black and White tended to be feminine and mysterious. Often, sitting in the astrology room could solve problems.
Newton tended to be masculine and was even called the "Wise Man of Physics." When encountering more troublesome problems, he would use physical means to solve them.
As Newton completely pushed the vault door open.
The brilliance emitted by the treasure was so dazzling that Han Dong couldn't open his eyes for a moment.
When his eyes gradually adjusted, the scene in front of him made it difficult for Han Dong to find the corresponding adjectives.
"Mountains of gold and silver" was not enough to describe the degree of luxury here. The ground alone was composed of gold coins from different eras and different worlds. There were all kinds of treasures everywhere.
And Han Dong also felt that every gold coin and every gem exuded an aura similar to that of a living creature.
"Be careful! These treasures are marked by their owners. If you touch the treasures with improper thoughts, liquid gold will leave a mark on your body … It will be very troublesome. "
"Well, I don't have any thoughts. It's just the first time I've seen this ability."
"Their owners are unique. In theory, the greater the accumulation of wealth, the stronger they will become. There is almost no upper limit … Within the range of the vault, there should not be many people in the Holy City who are opponents of their owners.
Come with me. Don't let the old man wait too long. "
He followed Newton through the complicated passages of the vault and arrived at the conference room.
When Han Dong saw his owner's face for the first time, he immediately understood some things.
Why did his owner enjoy certain meeting privileges?
Why was the conference room built inside his vault?
The conference room was nearly 300 square meters wide and five meters high.
A huge object with gold pendants hanging all over its body was "piled up" here. It occupied about one-fourth of the area and was almost full of height … It was his owner.
It was extremely fat, similar to a living lump of fat.
Huala huala ~
Every moment, gold coins overflowed from his facial features and navel. He could even faintly hear the rhythmic sound of mechanical pistons coming from his body.
"Greetings, Owner!"
Han Dong hurriedly presented the gold coins.
When the gold coins were exposed in front of his owner, they immediately resonated and were sucked into his mouth.
After chewing, he swallowed.
An old voice squeezed out from the fat, "Well … very good foreign gold coins. You are the [Key Factor] that Newton mentioned, Warren Nicholas.
I asked you to come this time because I hope to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with you.
I'll be frank.
I hope you can join the [Steam Knights] and serve as the technical director and the overall person in charge of the biological steam project.
As for the return, our internal technology will be open to you. The relevant engineers will be at your disposal and even go outside the city to make changes to your manor.
At the same time, a large amount of wealth, materials, and various energy sources are at your disposal.
In addition, you will also have the same meeting authority as the leaders. You can participate in key meetings that determine the future of the Holy City and have the right to vote. "
It would be difficult for anyone to refuse such a condition. Han Dong, who had not left the city before, might immediately agree.
But.
Han Dong was no longer a young man bound in the Holy City. His body and soul had merged with the world outside the city.
"Owner, forgive me for refusing!"
