Xia left here and entered the forest on one side.
Isabel has officially named this place the Fairy Forest.
Compared to the past, there were obviously a lot more ecosystems here. He saw some little fairies hiding in the trees, looking at him curiously.
Some unknown fluorescent insect-like creatures were crawling on the trees. The white-haired monkeys stood on the branches and stared at themselves quietly. Their dark eyes shone with agility, and they seemed to have a high IQ.
In addition, Xia Ya seemed to feel the sight of some ferocious beasts, staring at Xia Ya eagerly.
The Goblin Forest is called the "Forbidden Forest" in Hogwarts because there are many dangerous magical creatures here, and it is not suitable for little magicians to come here.
Soon, he found a small wooden house in the forest. The wooden house was not big and had a yard.
Xia walked into the yard and heard a series of fierce barks in her ears.
He turned his head and found a dog emerging from the kennel on one side, with its lips turned out and its teeth grinning at him, its eyes full of threats.
This dog looks very much like a merle-colored border collie, but the brown color around the eyes is somewhat like an Australian shepherd, and it is much larger, larger than giant dogs like Central Asian Shepherds.
"Merry, be quiet!"
The door opened and Isabel came out and comforted the dog.
"What kind of dog is this?" Xia Ya asked curiously.
"I found it during my inspection in Beichen. I'm not sure what it is exactly," Isabel said, "but it should be a magical creature native to Beichen."
Xia Ya nodded, and Alicia also walked out of Isabel's room, holding a cub that looked like a cat in her hand, but if you look closely, you can see that the frame is very big, and there are some black spots on the snow-white fur. The pattern is that of a beautiful white tiger cub.
After returning from Sarajevo, Alicia asked him if he wanted to see the white tiger.
Then Xia Ya pulled her into the room.
It was only when he was washing the sheets that he realized that what she was talking about was really a white tiger.
In addition to Sonny, Alicia actually had many pets in the past, such as the sea turtle she gave to her before.
But it only has a lifespan of a few decades.
After it died, Alicia was sad for a long time. In order to commemorate it, she made a specimen of it and placed it in its old nest, as if it was still there.
After that, Alicia said she never wanted to have a pet again.
In the beginning, the reason why they chose to move was because of Arthur and Sonny.
But Arthur and Sonny no longer live there, and only he, Alicia, and Calcifer are left in the villa.
At first, Charia and Alicia actually enjoyed it, because this was a rare world for two people. They could enjoy their own lives without caring about anyone.
But now, a hundred years have passed, and their enthusiasm has gradually faded away. The villa that they used to feel comfortable living in is now a bit too big and disturbing.
It's really not suitable for two empty nesters to live in such a big house.
So more often, Alicia prefers to drink tea in the courtyard looking at the scenery instead of staying in the living room.
Apparently, this loneliness made her want to try raising some pets again.
This white tiger is a magical creature and its lifespan will be longer.
"This white tiger is also reproduced from the genes extracted from the things I found during my investigation in Beichen." Isabel said, "Although it is a magical creature, it should not be the legendary white tiger. It should have some of his bloodline."
Xia Ya stretched out her hand and teased its chin. It obviously didn't like it. It opened its mouth, revealing its underdeveloped tiger teeth, and let out a milky whine.
"It has a bigger temper than Sonny." Xia Ya joked.
"I can't raise it here." Isabel said, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so it is more suitable to raise it on your peninsula."
"Is the other one also a male?" Xia Ya asked curiously.
"Two genetically similar individuals," Isabel said.
Xia Ya nodded. He looked at Alicia with a soft smile and said, "Give it a name."
Alicia thought for a while and said, "Since it comes from the east, let's call it Tai Sui. I once read a book that said the white tiger is the fierce god of Sui."
Xia Ya nodded, "Then let's call it this name."
"Where should we go next?" Alicia asked.
"Go to St. Petersburg." Char said quietly, "Let's go meet someone."
Tesla's red airship was soaring over Siberia. The biting cold wind blew in through the gaps in the airship and rushed around the cabin, making the belt of Nico's flight suit crackle. ring.
Even in this era, Nico's airship is top-notch in terms of endurance, flight speed and flight altitude. He has also made many modifications to this airship over the years.
Nico is almost fifty-eight years old this year, but his hair is still black and he has a very delicate mustache on his face.
His eye sockets are deep and the bridge of his nose is straight. He looks like he is only in his forties. Although his eyes are bright and lively, there is nothing magical about him.
But it is estimated that no one thought that such an ordinary person would be the core of this world war.
During these years, he never stopped inventing.
In addition to mecha technology and alternating current technology, he also invented a radio-controlled boat and obtained a patent for radio-controlled technology.
In 1899, he invented X-ray (X-Ray) photography technology. Other inventions include: radio, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon light tube, missile navigation, etc.
The magnetic density unit (1Tesla=10000Gause) was even named after him, indicating his contribution to magnetism.
As of now, he has more than 700 patents, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the greatest inventor of the early 20th century.
There was another person standing in the airship, also wearing a flight suit. He was very young, probably in his twenties, and looked very similar to Nico.
His name was Dane Tesla.
The name once belonged to his brother, but Tesla later gave it to his son.
Foreigners like to name their children after famous elders. This is why many emperors in Europe have second or third births. They all have a second birth or third birth after the same name.
Yes, this young man is the child of Tesla and Nauda.
According to common sense, such a crown prince of the Kingdom of Serbia should not follow him around and take risks.
But he is just like Tesla. Although he does not have Tesla's talent, he hopes to become an adventurer more than inheriting the throne.
He secretly came up to the airship, and Tesla had no choice but to take him away.
They had just come out of Beichen and were now heading to Tsarist Russia, which was also the last stop of their trip.
Before that, Tesla had gone to Britannia to talk to the president there about the war and their position.
Then, he went to Beichen.
The key to this war lies in the attitude of Tsarist Russia. As long as they choose to support Serbia again, Germany will obviously not be able to conduct a two-front war at the same time.
And as long as the German Empire surrenders, the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be a matter of time.
The key to Tsarist Russia is obviously Beichen.
He chatted with the Beichen people for a long time, and then went as an envoy to Tsarist Russia with the Beichen people's wishes.
Dane leaned out of the porthole with his aviation glasses on. All he could see below was a sky of ice and snow. The biting cold wind made his teeth chatter, causing him to retract his sight.
"I told you," Tesla said calmly, "The sky is never a fun place."
Dane was obviously a little unconvinced. He raised his head and said, "That's it. It's not so cold everywhere."
Tesla had no words and just controlled the airship to continue heading north.
After an unknown amount of time, the clouds gradually dispersed to both sides, and Dane could clearly feel that the airship was descending.
He quickly leaned out of the porthole again and looked down.
The legendary St. Petersburg appeared at their feet, and the hills were covered with traces of human activities.
One of the first cities in the world to be built according to a unified style plan, the city is so rich in architectural treasures that the city itself is an open-air architectural museum.
These centuries-old buildings are both Baroque and Rococo; they both pay attention to symmetry and destroy balance; they pursue grandeur and attention to sculptural details. Every detail embedded in the building is decorated with unique Language tells the story of St. Petersburg’s past.
However, due to the progress of industrialization, the city has also added some modern urban scenery.
To the north of the city is the legendary Baltic Sea, which is dotted with merchant ships from all over the world, including steamships and sailing ships, with dozens of flags flying.
It's all shrouded in smoke - factories and engines are everywhere, and mechas can be seen looming along the narrow streets.
There were no messenger birds in the gray sky; rooftops, stone spiers, and rows of radio antennas stretched as far as the eye could see, except for a few airplanes and gyrocopters passing above.
"Have you seen any German or Austro-Hungarian warships?" Tesla asked.
"No," Dane said.
"Then it doesn't look like the situation is too bad."
At this time, the operating platform in front of Tesla suddenly made a sizzling sound of electricity.
Tesla quickly reached out and turned a button on the console, and the sound of electric current gradually became clearer.
"Hello, Mr. Tesla, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
Tesla had sent a telegram before coming, and his airship was registered with high-level officials in various countries around the world.
If the telegram had not been sent in advance, it is estimated that they would have been shot down by the anti-aircraft guns below before they reached the sky above St. Petersburg.
After all, this is war time, and not long ago there was an example of a civilian airship passing through a war zone and being shot down by a missile.
Only then did Dane see two rotorcraft floating on both sides of them. The rotors on both sides made a buzzing sound, like the sound of fly wings amplified many times.
He saw that the drivers were all wearing earphones, which were obviously used to protect their ears.
"Thank you, please lead the way." Tesla said.
The gyrocopter dived forward some distance and came to their front.
The empty boat followed slowly.
Dane continued to poke his head out and look at the street below. There seemed to be a group of people marching below, waving their fists in the air, chanting some kind of slogan, and holding newspapers in their hands.
Dane opened his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what was in the newspapers, but they were too far away. However, each newspaper had a photo of an airship with some titles on it.
He wanted to know who these people were, but apparently Tesla didn't know much more than he did.
They soon arrived near the summer palace, an overgrown courtyard about the size of a cricket pitch.
The people below are waving the chess pieces in their hands, which seems to be some kind of universal chess language.
Under the guidance of these people, the airship quickly landed on a flat ground with very light movements. After landing, the airship looks like a red butterfly, adding beauty to the entire garden.
The wind blown by the propeller rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees.
Tesla picked up the box placed on the airship and walked downstairs with Dane. More than a hundred windows looked down at them, and the grilles of each window shone golden in the sunlight.
Dane didn't know if anyone was watching them. There might be a minister or adviser of the Russian tsarist Russia standing behind the window, or perhaps the tsarist queen.
This place is very similar to the palace where he lives, but it is larger. It is a four-story building and is as square as a cake.
There were three chimneys emitting thick smoke from the top, and they could vaguely hear the roar of machinery.
There was already a man standing at the door of the palace, wearing a very decent dress.
When he saw Tesla, he walked over directly, stretched out his hand to him and said enthusiastically.
"Prince Tesla, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Hello." Tesla nodded to him.
"I am the minister in charge of the Imperial Guard and the treasury. You can call me Barlow." Barlow said.
"Mr. Barlow." Tesla smiled, "I think you should already know my name."
"Yes, the legendary human being closest to the gods, how could I forget it." Barlow said.
"You are exaggerating." Tesla said calmly.
This is something that has often appeared in his ears recently. He heard it when he went to Britannia, and he also heard it when he went to Beichen.
"The reason why this title is so widely spread also shows that many people recognize this sentence, doesn't it?" he said.
He stretched out his hand towards the door behind him, "Please come with us, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
With that said, he led them into the palace. The interior of the building was very beautiful, and there were some mythical paintings on the dome, which looked very grand.
It's just that there are some steam pipes twisting through the walls. The pipes are spray-painted and dyed gold, which gives them a unique aesthetic.
There is a guard standing at each door. They are dressed in tall and elegant uniforms and wear swords.
Each guard bowed to them when they saw them, repeating a greeting in a low voice.
Dane understood this, which was Russian for "hello."
After a while, they were led by the steward to a tall door at the end of the corridor. He raised his head.
"Ahead is the reception room of His Majesty the Great Tsar Nicholas II, the emperor and dictator of all Russia."
He clapped his hands three times, and the door opened with a hiss, and a smell of incense mixed with the faint smell of fuel hit his face.
Compared with the sunny outdoors, the light in the reception room is relatively dim.
In front of them, stood a huge thing. The thing sat cross-legged and looked like a mechanical statue of a god.
The metal statue is covered with a piece of black gauze of unknown size, which looks like a pair of military trousers. There is a silver belt tied to the chest covered with badges. There are horns on the strangely shaped and slightly ferocious head, and it is covered with a piece of black gauze. A velvet cape that covers the entire carpet.
After adapting to the darkness here, they noticed that there was a person under the Colossus. He was dressed exactly like the Colossus and was sitting cross-legged on the silk sofa in the same posture. Even the medals were the same, with his hands on his knees.
"Welcome, Prince Tesla." The man raised his right hand, revealing his empty palm.
The giant statue behind him vibrated, mirroring his movements. The entire colossus looks like it is alive, and even has the same soul as the person below.
That is an automatic machine - the entire living room can actually be regarded as a huge machine (End of Chapter)
