Jacques and others are still trying to walk on winding mountain roads, but there are people who can reach the top of the mountain from the ground without walking, and that is the manned lift.

The manned elevator rises slowly, and the steam-powered winch rotates and pulls the wire to lift the iron cage carrying passengers from the ground to the summit of the Edith Mountain, which is a kilometer above.

This novelty was installed in the Medis this year, and Grey West, who invented it, claims that the device is still in the commissioning period, that it is not responsible for any accidents, and that if you want to ride it, you must first sign a disclaimer.

Even so, it can't stop young people in search of freshness and excitement from waving silver coins and squeezing onto the person lift, which runs at full capacity every day, and the extra-long steel wire made from Stuart is so worn out that it has to be replaced once a month!

So much so that Graves, who indulged in the great success of inventing it, began to weigh whether it would be better to build the first railroad in the New World from Yorktown to Medis on his own, or to build a steel mill in cooperation with Robert Baptiste.

In fact, with Graves's wealth, he could do both at the same time, except that the representative sent by Robert demanded that if they cooperated in the construction of a steel plant, they would have to build a railroad in a joint venture, or even jointly build the first telegraph line in the New World.

Graves's family thinkers have agreed to this move, believing that it can help the New World quickly connect with the imperial civilization, and the funds, connections and huge influence of the West family in the New World combined with Robert's huge spider-web-like network of connections in the empire can achieve a win-win result.

But there was also an objection, and that was Graves's sister, Marianne West, who thought that in this way, whether it was the steel works, the railroad or the telegraph office, would be controlled by the "cunning Baptiste", and that the technology would not be difficult anyway, and that her genius brother could imitate it in just a few days of study, and even make it better.

If you don't believe me, the manned lift is an example, and Graves just got a sample of the wire and invented such a genius application as the manned lift.

Graves simply ignored this annoying thing, leaving it to his sister to negotiate with Robert's men, and he went into the laboratory to study the latest novelty from Robert's hand.

A dark-skinned Bolian kid can't wait to jump out of the elevator for only two people and run along the exit trail to the city.

The appearance of the Bolia child surprised the customers who had been queuing for a long time and were about to enter the elevator, and the young woman in a tight riding suit took out a silk handkerchief to cover her delicate face:

"People don't want to sit on this, they even let the Bolians sit too, are people afraid of getting dirty!"

The young man with her thin waist around her was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, and while comforting his female companion, he scolded the waiter for cleaning the iron cage of the elevator until the entire iron cage was cleaned and sprayed with perfume, and the two of them scolded and entered the elevator, and did not tip a single livre to the waiter.

The elevator slowly descended again, and in a short time, the traction wire shook rhythmically.

The mixed-race waiter took a sip, silently sorting out the problems that needed to be reported to the boss:

"Is it going to be a rule that the natives are not allowed to ride? When did the Bolias become so rich!

Is it forbidden to do things in the iron cage? It's too worn! Otherwise, it's okay to add money!

Can the tip be counted directly in the ticket?"

......

The Bolian kid who got off the elevator ran fast through the streets, climbed over low walls, drilled through narrow gaps in houses, and shuttled like fish through the flow of people, until he finally reached his destination, "Mysterious Me", a store specializing in the materials of exotic beasts and spirits with the highest four-story house on the high street.

The Bolia kid went straight to the fourth floor, there were three rooms in the corridor, he pushed open the door of the largest office, and said to the sturdy man behind the desk: "Boss James, quick, show me the second-level wanted list, I saw a team of people going up the mountain when I was on the elevator just now, and there are a few people I seem to have seen on the second-level wanted list!"

That's right, this James is the same James who escaped from the Seal Peninsula more than two years ago.

Although he messed up the undercover mission, under the protection of his old leader, James was only transferred to a remote department that no one wanted to go to, and became the head of the Military Intelligence Agency of the Duchy of Stuart in Medis.

originally thought that he was assigned to the frontier and had to endure hardships and suffering, but after two years, James's life has become more and more proud. Not long ago, I specially sent a lot of gifts to the old leader, begging him for help, don't transfer yourself from this post.

Among them, the change will start with another person who has failed the task and has to leave the New World.

After the failure of the wolf trainer Hilson, who led the Giant Claw Wolves to attack Lily, in order to prevent being discovered by the Nasrid Branch President, he had to take his precious wolves back to the New World on a ship arranged by Viscount Ginoa to avoid the limelight.

After James came to the New World, he got in touch with Hilson, and it was supposed to be a drinking party for two frustrated people to warm each other, but the two sparked in business.

James's apparent identity in Medis is the manager of the "mysterious me" Alien Beast Plant, and his predecessors have focused on intelligence, and the business of the store is extremely poor, and the public money has to be used to fill the gap in the final accounts every year.

But James has a business mind, and he used Hilson's aboriginal identity to let this aboriginal child who grew up in the colony go deep into the jungles of the west with matches, cotton cloth, candy, cigarettes and other things produced in the empire to trade with the Polyians and establish trade routes, in exchange for precious beast spirit plant materials and even Mithril.

With these rare gadgets, James quickly became a new star in the business circle of Edith, and he made a lot of money.

Now, even if he increases his salary tenfold, moves back to Londinium to sit in the office, and enjoys the most sought-after middle-class life at the moment, James is not willing to leave here, preferring to count the money and cramp in the Medis.

It's just that in the past two years, the intelligence performance of the entire Medis branch has declined significantly, which has given him a headache.

It's impossible not to slip!

In order to make money freely, James got rid of all the old intelligence agents in the original Medis branch and replaced them with a group of subordinates who obeyed him and developed him personally, who not only collected intelligence, but also helped James in his business.

The teenage boy who stormed his office was Rick, the son of the chief of the Bolian tribe who worked closely with James, and was currently an employee of the Military Intelligence Service of the Duchy of Stuart.

Hearing that Rick saw the characters on the second-level wanted list, James couldn't help but be overjoyed, he originally thought that he was just making money, and there was no progress in his own business, and he was always worried about what the old leader would do if he couldn't cover himself and was transferred because of poor performance.

This time when he was sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and the "rich second generation" Rick went out to play on the lift, and he could meet the characters on the second-level wanted list.

James hurriedly took out the wanted list from the safe and handed it to Rick, who was clearly blushing on his black face because of the intense running and excitement.

Rick scrolled through the wanted list, and finally stopped on one page:

"That's him!

It says that those who are going to be caught alive will be sent back to the empire for trial, and those who are alive will have a bounty and can make meritorious contributions, and they are worthless if they die!"
