The steam locomotive dragged a long tail of steam smoke towards the sea to the west.

Corgate sat blankly in front of the car window, looking out the window to see the ruined shoreline around it. Compared to the eastern part of the sanctuary, the chance of demons coming from the sea is very small, so there is no wall built on the western side of the sanctuary. The most frequent visitors were pirates, and on the western shore of the sea, eight steam guns were directed at the dark and dreary sea, intimidating the sea for dozens of nautical miles.

Komet remembers that eight years ago it was a beautiful seaside town in the Kingdom of Bytin. The blue and white houses are perched on the slopes of the cliffs, and in the gentle sea breeze, life is peaceful and beautiful, and the air is mixed with the warm smell of the sea.

He still remembers that when he was only a few years old, his father, Prince Ley, personally took him to the top of a cliff to enjoy the view of the sea. At that time, he was at the most serious stage of his illness, and he had to rely on a ventilator to supplement oxygen every day and inject cardiotonic agents to maintain his heartbeat. Prince Ley thrust him up to the top of the cliff in a steam wheelchair, and he was able to see the blue sea as far as the eye could see.

Once the sea was azure and the waves were phosphophophoric, reflecting colorful light in the soft sunlight. But now, the sea is lifeless and lifeless, black and oppressive like the wings of a crow on a branch in front of a church. The ruined shore resembles the teeth of giant beasts, spitting black waters.

"There's the entrance ahead." Christine, who was driving a steam locomotive, said suddenly, still wearing her silver-blue armor and a sword at her waist.

"Entrance?" Komet was a little surprised, the coastline was ahead, and they were in the middle of the two steam repeaters, but there was nothing in front of them except black water.

"The entrance to the Leviathan is hidden underwater." Christine's voice was calm, as if she were talking about a commonplace.

The sound of the water sounded, and the waves crashing against the sea suddenly rose, cracking in the middle at a height of one or two meters, revealing the entrance to the black hole below.

It is a rectangular metal opening, driven by massive brass gears, and the drive is naturally burning rough steam. Milky white steam gushed out from the wedge-shaped spouts at both ends of the opening, merging with the sliding water, creating a shallow layer of mist on the surface.

Although this entrance was not too big compared to a steam locomotive, Corgate was still shocked by it. It was only then that he realized that the reason why the sea looked black was because there was a colossus made of steel docked underneath. And the entrance to this black hole is the mouth of the behemoth, which is bottomless, and it is not known where it leads.

The Leviathan, the behemoth of the depths, has a massive body like a city, and skin is as hard as steel, and no one can get a glimpse of its full form, and everyone who has seen it can only see its tiny corners.

"Welcome to the headquarters of the Orton Corporation - Leviathan!" After Christine finished speaking, she slammed on the accelerator, and the wheels of the steam locomotive spun violently, raising billowing dust, and the steam tail smoke pulled out two long arcs, and the whole locomotive flew out like an arrow from a string, and plunged headlong into the entrance that rose from below the surface of the sea.

"Bang! Cha! Cha! "Steam lamps lit up one by one as the locomotive approached, illuminating the interior of the entire passage. The passage was surrounded by metal walls and intricate copper pipes that Komet knew were the pipes that transported the rough steam, which were like the blood vessels of the entire Leviathan, pumping blood from the heart to all parts of its body.

After about five or six minutes of driving, Christine moved her foot on the accelerator, and the engine of the steam locomotive hummed and went to a standstill. Corgate looked up at the outside of the locomotive and saw that the ground under the wheels of the locomotive had moved on its own. It turned out that in this position, the passage extended downward at an angle, and rollers and tracks were installed on the ground, which allowed the locomotive to be transported to the depths of the pipeline like a cargo. Komet couldn't help but feel that he was gradually walking towards the monster's stomach pouch.

"The Leviathan was built by Orton's technical department at an astronomical cost of four years. There have been several times that there has been a shortage of funds within the company, but under the repeated requests of the Minister of Technology, the company has tried its best to come over, and according to the design drawings provided by the minister, not a single screw has been reduced. Christine rested one hand relaxed on the steering wheel and explained.

"Technical Department?" Corgate has a deep interest in such a mysterious department, and the Orton Company has launched countless products, ranging from the steam mecha used by the Guardians to the steam watch worn by Professor Uno, all of which were designed by the mysterious technical department. I came here today to explore the true appearance of such a mysterious department, and what is the level of the technical department's understanding of the engine of the steam mecha? Why did they send someone to hack into Mr. Z's mech auction?

"The Leviathan is divided into six divisions, the Command, the Armed Forces, the Technical, the Production, the Residency and the Power. Each department has its own responsibilities and is managed by the head of its department. And the president of Orton, who is also Syrandy Orton, is in charge of the entire Leviathan. Christine added.

Komenji nodded and continued to look out the window, where the environment had begun to change.

The passage widens and enters a wide field where huge metal machines are constantly in motion, adding armor plates to some complex steam machines, which Komet recognizes at a glance as mass production of steam mechs. Workers walked back and forth in the elevated corridor to check the working conditions of the robotic arms, all of them wearing Orton's uniform and not looking at the steam locomotive as it approached.

"This is the production department, we go through here, and a little further on, we get to the technical department. Mr. Syrandi can't see him yet, so I'll take you to meet Miss Saori Suzumiya, the head of the technical department. Christine said, twisting the metal bracers on her hands.

"Saori Suzumiya? She's Japanese? Komet wondered.

"Japan? Where is that? "Christine hadn't heard of this place.

"A country in the far east." Corgate smiled.

The conveyor belt under the locomotive becomes gentle, and the locomotive slowly moves forward along the horizontal line, passing through the production section of the elevated and full of robotic arms, and entering the area of the technical department.

Suddenly, a crowd of people gathered around and blocked the way of the locomotive, led by a middle-aged woman in a white coat, wearing glasses with narrow lenses and short black hair.

As soon as Corgate got out of the car, the woman in the white coat shook his hand.

"I've finally found you, Atio bloodline!" She smiled so exaggeratedly, and her temperament just now was swept away.
