Although the news about the monster appearing in Karl was tightly sealed, it spread among the nobles.
Everyone knew that Carlius was no longer as peaceful as before, and then the Third Reich of Lonesia reacted first and recalled the international students at St. Carlius College.
Hilton von Wilhelm was ordered to return to the imperial capital.
In the mission hospital, the ward that usually had almost no one came was very busy today. Many injured nobles were picked up by carriages from their own countries. Before Hilton left, he found Sandino. Sandino scratched his head and wondered why Hilton would Find yourself.
Hilton pulled Sandino to the side of the corridor, looking very serious, and Sandino was a little more curious about what he was about to say.
After hesitating again and again, Hilton sighed: "It stands to reason that you don't know anything, so they shouldn't make it difficult for you..." Sandino was still confused and didn't know what Hilton wanted to express. "Sir Hilton, are you... knocked stupid?"
Hilton tried very hard to resist the urge to punch him, "This matter may not be as simple as it seems. Next, you have to be careful. Don't mention recent events to others, and try to stay away from these clergy." .”
"But where is Cesare? I want to find him." Sandino has not seen his friend since he woke up.
"I advise you not to go to him. The trouble he is facing may be much more serious than us." Hilton shook his head and sighed. "What should we do? He may be in danger now and needs us!" Sandino looked very anxious.
"Probably I can only advise him to seek his own happiness." After saying this, Hilton walked out and without looking back, boarded the carriage that came to pick him up.
The Hilton family's carriage was driving on the road, and there were all kinds of transportation on the road.
The most eye-catching one is probably the Papal State's locomotive. No one knows what kind of power is used to drive this behemoth. They only know that it is only controlled by one of the three major families of the Papal State, the Borgia family.
Rumor has it that they call this power the power of God, and it is said that it can make ordinary artificial mechanical devices tens of times more explosive.
Some people say that this power is a certain mineral, others say that this power is a plant, and some even rumored that this power is refined from human blood. As for the truth, there is still a debate in the world. .
And the Borgia family, the protagonist in the rumor, does not want to come and explain to everyone whether these arguments are true or false.
But it is undeniable that the mechanical civilization developed by relying on this power has made the Papal State become the leader of the new era in just a dozen years. The surrounding countries also gained considerable benefits from it and became allies of the Papal State.
The only flaw of this power source is that it is too rare. I don’t know whether the Borgia family did it intentionally, or they can only create this part of the power source, and only have a small number of public facilities, military equipment and high-level nobles’ life skills. Enjoy such cutting-edge technology.
While mechanical locomotives traveled across the continent, horse-drawn carriages traveled through the streets of the city. While the heart of power drove the forging furnaces, which were brightly lit day and night, forging the armor of heavy cavalry, ordinary people still had oil lamps burning in their homes.
After a long journey, Hilton's carriage finally entered Pearl Castle, the capital of the Third Reich in Lonesia.
Pearl Castle, a famous emerging city in the West, was just an ordinary small village during the Second Empire of Ronisia, located in a basin surrounded by mountains.
Later, the Second Empire of Lonisia fell and Vargin occupied the capital of the Second Empire. The Third Empire had no choice but to move westward to find a suitable city as its new capital.
During this period, a secret army expelled all the original inhabitants of the village of Pearl Castle and surrounded it on three levels inside and outside.
After five years of secret construction, this small village has completely lost its original appearance. City walls, residential areas, hospitals, and factories were built, and then it was designated as the capital.
No one knows why the emperor at that time designated this place as his capital, and no one knows what secrets are hidden in this city.
The entire city is divided into upper city and lower city. All residential areas are concentrated in the lower city. The city center, hospitals, schools, and churches are also concentrated here.
As for the mysterious Uptown area, no one knows what else is there except the palace and factories. Ordinary civilians are strictly prohibited from approaching the Uptown area. Once they approach, the guards' heavy crossbows can shoot them without warning.
Similarly, even Hilton, who was an aristocrat, had never really seen the entirety of Uptown. But today, the carriage that took him home did not drive to the center of Pearl Castle, but went all the way north, straight to the core of the uptown area.
At the entrance to the upper city, several guards stopped the carriage. Then a man opened the door, patted his military coat, boarded the carriage and entered the carriage in two steps.
"Father..." Hilton lowered his head slightly. He knew that his father had always disliked him. As the son of a marquis, he could not use magic. He was sent to a remote school in the Papal State by his father in anger, and he was already dead. Everyone knows this.
"Have you... met?" The father and son have not seen each other for a long time, but it seems that Hilton's father, Margrave Conrad von Wilhelm, is not in the mood to reminisce with his son.
"What?" Hilton never thought that his father would say this without any clue.
"Have you seen it?" Marquis William sat down on the carriage and looked out the window, repeating the question just now.
"No, I didn't see it..." Hilton thought about what the cardinal had told him, and after thinking about it, he decided to conceal everything he saw in Caliu.
"You saw it!" This time, Marquis William turned his head and stared at his son, his tone no longer a question.
"Father..." Hilton knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He had a lot of questions to ask his father.
"Do you know where this is?" Marquis William saw his son looking directly at him and turned away from Hilton's sight.
"Is this uptown?" Hilton really didn't know what happened to his father today, so he could only continue following his father's words.
"This is the industrial area of Fort Pearl. I have never brought you here." Marquis William pointed out the window. "We forge military weapons, armor, and motorcycle parts here." These machines are still working day and night. In operation, the furnace is calcining iron ore, and the giant hammer is hammering pig iron one after another.
