It was a sunny day.

On the northwestern coast of the Black Sea, steam freighters unload their cargo at the docks, and a few kilometers away, trains rumble out of the steam factories to transport the steel products from the factories to the docks.

The Black Sea on the Overworld continent is simply what people are used to calling the ocean. This is an inland lake, except that the area of this inland lake is very large, about 820,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of two Caspian seas on Earth. (Sichuan area 480,000, France 670,000)

The whole Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the west are separated by only fifty kilometers, and of course there is a canal for these fifty kilometers. This canal can pass 8,000 tons of merchant ships, so people on the western continent are used to call it the sea

It is the center of the entire continent, a transportation hub between the east and the west, the western part of the entire continent is surrounded by a huge area of the Mediterranean Sea, and the eastern part of the continent is a series of mountains and mountains.

In the middle of the continent of the main world, the Black Sea is a series of huge lakes. According to the legend of the Divine Age 20,000 years ago, this is the remnants of the ancient Mediterranean Sea in the movement of the earth block, and it is said that tens of millions of years later, the plate will squeeze and disappear the huge inland lake here, and then the plateau will be uplifted, creating a large desert in the middle of the continent, completely isolating the continent into two parts.

However, this statement is just a statement that the people on the Overworld continent are just looking for curiosity. After all, all the rumors that circulated in the God-given era 20,000 years ago have the nature of myths and legends.

The Saint Sauk Empire was an empire built on the east and south coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Moonfall Mountains to the east. The northern part occupies the southwestern shore of the Black Sea. One of the Black Seas is the distance between the isthmus, which was also under the control of the Saint-Sauk Empire.

The empire is the sixth largest in the continent in terms of land area, but it dominates the entire central part of the continent in terms of national strength, and in recent decades it has served as the international gendarme of the countries of the western continent, frequently intervening in political events such as the change of thrones in neighboring countries and the seizure of thrones by powerful ministers. It is also one of only two empires on the Western Continent.

The Gunflame family, bordering the Black Sea, are the counts of the Empire here. When he received the title of earl four hundred years ago, it has been passed down for nine generations.

Of course, this also only belongs to the emerging nobility of the imperial aristocracy. Because when the empire was founded, some ancient noble families existed. Take the royal family in the Saint Sauk Empire, for example, their family heritage is more than 5,000 years. Therefore, compared with those old aristocrats, the emerging aristocratic background is still insufficient.

When the army's main battle weapons were arquebuses and breech guns, and when there were still demonic beasts in the eastern mountains of the continent, the Sok family existed. Well, of course, at that time, the Soke family did not have the prefix of saint, and Soke meant to harness the reins of the Warcraft. It shows that the Soke family was a knight family that could control the armed beasts back then. At that time, the super monster with a physique that surpassed the elephant, with a boiler strapped to its body and a steam crossbow arrow, was the most formidable legion on the continent at that time. And that era is called the Age of the Beasts. And now it's the Age of Steam

Of course, the Saint Sauk family is not the oldest family in the empire, and some of the old nobles in the empire have a family history that even dates back to tens of thousands of years ago.

The Age of God's Gift is said to be an era in which magic and technology are highly advanced, and human technology can ascend to the giant moon in the starry sky. Can launch a super bomb that destroys an entire city. And the many remaining demonic beasts on the continent are also the products of the technology of the God-given era.

In the immediate aftermath of the Age of God, there were remnants of powerful technology everywhere, and the materials of the new magic system were even more inherited from that time.

The surviving organizations at that time were able to obtain a large amount of materials from the Age of God, and ruled the continent for a long time after the Age of God. But these organizations eventually disintegrated over time, eventually breaking down 10,000 years ago, and those ancient families came from the bloodlines of the powerful who disintegrated, and now they all have deep roots in the new magic system. There is such a saying on the mainland - nobles are not canonized, nobles are inherited.

The Gun Flame family, which belongs to the emerging aristocracy, was only a middle-level officer in the empire's initial power in the army four hundred years ago, and after being promoted, it soared all the way to this higher title. Of course, it also controls the largest arsenal in the northern part of the empire. The rifles and infantry guns produced by this arsenal accounted for thirty percent of the empire. It has a vital position in the military system of the empire, so it is matched to the position of this right.

In the upper class of this world, the role of the aristocratic title is that the title can determine whether a family can intervene in the ruling class circle for a long time. In order to ensure the stability of the title, for two hundred years, the Gun Flame family has not relaxed its responsibility for military production, and has always been loyal to the royal family.

With the long whistle of the train. The train ascended the platform ramp and gradually came to a stop on the platform. The mechanical door of the train opened, and a child in a black woolen jacket jumped off the train with his legs open.

The small body swayed, stabilizing the center of gravity of the body before the servant was ready to help. Then he walked on the train platform with great vigour. Gun flame. Binghe is the name of Chang Bing's life.

The fourth son of the Earl of the Gun Flame family. Of course, if everything is normal, the matter of the title, this is not Binghe's turn to think about this kind of thing.

The eldest son of the Gun Flame family - Gun Flame, Roth.

He is now the deputy commander of the Black Sea Regional Fleet, a junior mechanical controller by profession. The Black Sea Fleet was inferior to the Grand Fleet in the Mediterranean, with the largest flagship being only 5,000 tons, and the smallest warship being 700 tons. However, the blockade of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean canals by this fleet was sufficient. And he is already the heir of the earl's lordship.

The second son of the Gun Flame family - Qingjun, Elote. He is now a member of the Royal Order of the Empire. The Royal Knights, although they bear the name of the knight, but in the wartime when there is no horseback riding in this era, they are all bipedal heavy mechanical armor. As the most elite and noble unit of the Saint Sauk Empire, the Emperor himself served as the commander of the legion.

Qingjun, a member of the family that Elliott is not counting now, the surname Qingjun is the name of another imperial noble. The Qingjun family is a cursed family, and hundreds of years ago, I don't know what strange things happened

Only girls are born, not boys. To be precise, for hundreds of years, only women in the family were sent to marry with other families, and boys born after marrying into other families were included in the family. Of course, the tragedy is that when this boy grows up, no matter how he marries the woman of that family, he will inevitably only give birth to girls. And this girl, if she marries into another family, the first generation of children is half male and half female, and the next generation, so that the descendant of the male born in the next generation must be a daughter. Qingjun Elliott's mother is a member of the Qingjun family. She is also the current lady of the count.

The third son of the Gun Flame family, Gun Flame, Fike. At the age of sixteen last year, he committed suicide by lying on the rails. It is said that it was because of love that he committed suicide, and the object of his love is said to be the princess of the empire, so the whole family is secretive. (When Binghe heard about the deed, his first reaction was to sigh, and his second reaction was: What the hell is this?) ）

And the gun flame Bingnu, six years old today, his mother can't be examined,

Six years ago, the earl, Sifen, came to the family with a newborn child, and bluntly said that it was his own child. And this kid is the gunflame core

Of course, the gun flame Bingnu, the reputation in this world is not very good, the story of weaning at the age of three, and barely speaking at the age of four, makes the family speculate that this baby is mentally defective. Under the premise that his brother is so good, there is no chance as the second in line of succession.

In fact, Bing knows it himself. In the early years, I was in a state of confusion, but in the last few months, as if I had a flash of inspiration, I suddenly realized that I had arrived in this new world as a child.

After stepping off the train, Binghe held his head, and his little face showed a look of trying to think. This brain is very inconvenient, and you need to wrench your fingers to even count them. However, the memory of the past is quite clear, but you have to think very hard, and sometimes it takes a few minutes to recall the past.

Sitting on the iron seat of the train station, trying to think about something, Binghe caused the worries of the servants around him, and a servant opened the record of today's itinerary in front of Binghe. Quietly placed next to the seat. In order to be able to give this "mentally retarded" young master to be able to notice. It is also specially marked with red ink.

By the way, on the itinerary map, they are all simple pictures, and the memory of Bingnu has awakened for a few months, but I think too much about things every day, and the work of literacy has been successfully delayed until now because of the effect of procrastination.

Bingnu's reason for procrastinating: "Normal children are seven or eight years old to be literate, but I'm stupid, I can start reading when I'm a teenager." ”

Returning to the main story, the servants are too much to worry about.

Binghe was not thinking about the itinerary now, but the first time he came to the experimental range of the family's weapons, and suddenly he was in a big mood, and he was ready to copy the text and sing a song, so that the surroundings looked sideways. But the lyrics just mentioned two sentences and suddenly forgot the words.

A few minutes later, Binghe jumped down from the tangled chair and walked towards the carriage dozens of meters away, muttering in a whisper in the voice of a child who no one could understand: "Sunset, how should the next sentence of this poem be sung, how should it be sung." What to target, what to return? I can't remember."

Binghe patted his little head with his soft little hands, and his little face was full of unhappiness like a child who had been robbed of candy. The greatest sorrow in life is that I was ready to pretend to be forced, but suddenly forgot the routine of pretending to be forced.
