Although the Embarcadero was under the control of the French Empire, the area around it belonged to the Kingdom of England, and the buildings here were also a large number of red brick apartments in the style of the Kingdom of England, and most of the men who walked here wore English-style tuxedos and top hats, and women wore folded lace puffy skirts with fishbone supports.

After entering the controlled city of the Kingdom of England, Leo felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, which was the emotional memory of the previous body remaining in the body, Leo was not disgusted by this, but let go of the suppression of this feeling, allowing himself to carefully experience this unprecedented feeling.

The word hometown is definitely not a good word for cyborgs, because returning to their hometown means repairing or even rebuilding it, and many cyborgs simply equate their hometown with death, even if they don't understand what death really is.

However, at this moment, Leo felt nostalgia for his hometown from the residual emotions of his predecessor, which also made him understand why the ordinary soldiers who had been operating with him in the past had such an expression on their faces when they were given the order to go home.

Compared to the near-curfew night streets of the French Empire, the Inge Kingdom is much more lively, as taverns can be found everywhere in the city. Every street is full of pubs except for some grocers for daily necessities, and a large number of off-duty company employees and dock workers come to relax in the taverns at this time, and all kinds of cheerful and chaotic music comes from the taverns, making the streets very noisy.

In addition, there is hardly a horse-drawn carriage to be seen in the city administered by the Kingdom of England, and the streets are full of the same kind of public rail steam cars.

And the public steam car in the Kingdom of England is not only more than twice as large as the ordinary steam car, but even increased to one floor in order to be able to carry more passengers, as for whether there will be any safety hazards in such an increase and heightening, these are not in the scope of the boss of the bus company, they want to let more passengers ride, they earn more money.

After walking some distance down the street, Leo picked a steam rail car that didn't have too many people to ride, climbed on, and sat in the back seat. Because all the railcars are around the city, he can get to the river terminal by taking any steam railcar.

The rail car was moving very slowly, and the smoke that was constantly spewing from the steam engine in front of it easily wrapped the car behind it, and the people in the car had to take out their masks and put them on, although it was impossible to completely isolate the dust and ashes in the steam, but at least it could give people a sense of safety.

Because of the steam smoke, the streets of the Kingdom of England seemed to be in the clouds, and everyone walked through the fog where they could not see their fingers, and everywhere there were quarrels, shouts, music, and the brass bells of the steam locomotives.

As we approached the port terminal, the steam smoke gradually cleared due to the sea breeze, and the passengers on the bus took off their masks. As the car drove to the road on the edge of the city, the driver sounded the whistle to remind the passengers in the carriage, and at this time, the passengers also looked out the window at the sea view and the pier under the cliff.

The offshore wharf at the other end of the city is built to be wide, long, and large because it needs to dock a large number of sea freighters for a long time, and most of the land on the wharf is covered by large warehouses loaded with goods.

However, the inland wharf managed by the French Empire, because the vast majority of the ships docked here are small and medium-sized ships sailing on the inland river, the dock does not need to be built too large, plus the cargo ships only occupy a small part of all the ships here, and most of the rest are private cruise ships and imperial warships, so the style of the dock here will be built separately according to the different ships docked, and these docks of different shapes have also become one of the scenery here.

In addition, there are very few freight warehouses on the river wharf, and most of the cargo ships coming from the land dock here for a while, and then sail along the edge of the island of Vinaya to the open sea wharf on the other side to unload their cargo, and the large area where the warehouses should have been built is now all turned into a lavish casino and a party.

At first, the use of this dock was debated for a long time by the French Empire's high-level officials, and most people thought that it should be built into a military dock, specially used to dock warships, and used to contain the other two enemy countries who were also the controllers of the port of Venaya, but in the end, the Marquis de Dello, who was appointed as the governor, overrode the public and came up with a new plan to build the dock into a carnival city.

This plan proved to be very successful, and in less than a year, the pier had become one of the tourist attractions in the Vilun continent, and a large number of tourists came here every month to gamble and play. The Governor's Palace, specifically for these tourists, transferred several decommissioned warships from the French Navy, converted them into large cruise ships, and set up special routes to receive tourists from all over the countries of the Vilen continent.

As soon as Leo got out of the car, he gathered around a group of vendors, selling souvenirs from the port of Venaya, and it was clear that these shrewd vendors could tell at a glance that these people were tourists who had just arrived in the port of Venaya, and that they were residents of Venaya.

Leo asked the surrounding vendors, "I want to find a boat, it's a private cruise ship, the owner of the boat is a noble Francois noble, and his ship should leave tonight." Whoever can help me find it will be rewarded with 100 Vinayas. ”

These vendors were immediately attracted by Leo's proposal, although a hundred vinaya coins is not a lot for Leo, but it is also the profit of these hawkers for ten days and half a month, and they naturally want to get this bounty. It's just that most of them don't know much about the situation at the docks, and they don't know what the ship Leo is looking for is, so they can only sigh at the bounty.

There are also people among the peddlers who have used crooked brains, but their eyes can see that Leo is not easy to mess with, and it is not cost-effective to pay themselves for a hundred Vinayas, so those crooked brains have just appeared and they have suppressed themselves.

"I know. At that moment, a shoe-shine kid with a shoe box squeezed in from the crowd, raised his hand, and said to Leo.

"Take me, and one hundred Vena is yours. Leo didn't doubt that the child would lie, in his opinion, even if the child lied, it didn't matter, the other party would definitely know about the land snake in the dock area, and as long as he found the land snake and asked, he would be able to know the information he wanted.

"One hundred is not enough, I want two hundred. The kid could see that none of the vendors around him knew what Leo wanted, so he sat down and said.

"Yes. Leo didn't bargain and agreed to the price.

"Follow me. Under the envious gaze of the crowd, the child led Leo down the steps to the pier area below, then passed through a shop selling souvenirs, walked past two casinos, and came to the vicinity of the pier.

The boy then told Leo to wait for a while, and he climbed to a lookout booth next to the road, and his eyes scanned the ships docked on the docks, and soon found his target.

After descending from the lookout, he led Leo towards the only high-end pier on the west side, near the military dock of the French Empire, which specialized in personal cruise ships, but when he was about to approach the pier, he was stopped by the security guards of the pier and did not allow them to come any closer.

To this end, the child dragged Leo up to the second floor of a tackle shop next to the road, and then pointed to a white sailboat docked on the pier without any steam machinery, and said, "That's it, the boat you are looking for is the one." ”

"Who is the owner of that ship?" Leo asked in a deep voice, looking at the ship.

The child was a little unhappy that Leo didn't pay him immediately, and there was a little worry in his eyes, as if he was worried that he wouldn't get the bounty he deserved.

Although he was a little worried, he still told what he knew.

It turned out that the information about this beautiful white sailing ship had been overheard by a child from a conversation with a shoe-shining guest, who was the manager of the docks.

The white galleon, which belonged to the personal ship of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Emperor of France, was piloted to the port of Venaya by the son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in an hour the ship was to leave the harbour and sail back inland. In addition to the information about the ship, the child provided an important piece of information, namely, that the relationship between the son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the son of the Governor was very poor, almost to the point of incompatibility.

"That's good! After hearing this, Leo reached out and touched the child's head, then wrote a cash check for three hundred vinayas and handed it to the child.

The child was overjoyed to see that there was an extra hundred Vinayas, and ran downstairs with the wooden box, but halfway through, as if he had thought of something, he returned upstairs, and asked Leo, "Sir, do you want to know where the Chancellor's son is?"

"Have you seen the Chancellor's son?" asked Leo.

The child nodded and said, "Not long ago, the Chancellor's son was sitting at Little Tom's stall shining his shoes, and I was right next to me. ”

Leo asked, "How do you know it's the Chancellor's son?"

The child shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be old-fashioned: "We don't know those rich nobles in our business, but no, you must know that the competition in our industry is fierce, and if you are not careful, the guests will be snatched away." ”

Leo smiled, thought for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Since you know the son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have you seen a cat ornament on his body?"

The child shook his head and said, "I didn't see the cat ornament, but there was always a black cat by his side." ”

"Black cat. Leo smiled at this answer, and handed the child a cash check for one hundred vinayas, and then motioned for the child to leave, and reminded the child in an accented tone not to tell anyone else about his inquiry into the Chancellor's son.

The child, who had received another hundred vinayas, ran down the stairs happily, and after running some distance, he stopped again, as if thinking about something, and then he said with a look of surprise: "Yes, I can sell this news to the noble lord, and he will probably give him a lot of money." ”

Thinking of this, the child took a big stride and ran towards the dock on the other side, and it took ten minutes to run to a cargo dock, and quickly came to a cargo ship.

At this time, the security guard guarding the cargo ship stopped the child and said, "Get out, little mouse, is this where you should come?"

"I have important information to sell to Sir Richard Weston. The child immediately shouted.

Naturally, the security guard didn't believe that a little shoe-shining guy on the dock would know any important information, so he was ready to start driving the child away.

"Wait!" At this moment, a noble, well-dressed young man with a black cat standing on his shoulder, stepped down from the cargo ship, came to the child, and said, "What important information do you want to sell me?"

"Very important information," the child smiled when he saw that his target was attracted to him, and said, "But I want to know how much money you are going to pay for this information?"

Richard Weston smiled, not paying the slightest heed to the child's offensiveness, and said, "What a greedy imp! ”

The child was immediately attracted by the huge bounty of the 100 gold flanges, and without thinking too much, he directly told Leo about it.

Hearing the child's words, Richard Weston did not pay the bill, and directly ordered the servant beside him to take out a golden ticket of one hundred gold flanges and hand it to the child, and then after a little thought, he immediately returned to the cargo ship.

"Sir, why are you back again?" the owner of the cargo ship was counting the cargo, and was stunned to see Richard Weston return to the ship.

Richard Weston said, "Don't you want to see my father? ”

Hearing Richard Weston's words, the owner of the ship couldn't help but be stunned, at first he thought that Richard Weston was playing with himself, after all, he tried his best just now and couldn't move the other party, but when he turned his head, the other party offered to cooperate, no matter how you look at it, this matter will make people feel weird.

However, when he thought about it, he remembered Richard Weston's personality and credibility in the aristocratic circle of the French Empire, and he couldn't help but feel that this matter might really have a turnaround.

Although leaving the port of Vinaya now would cost the owner a sum of goods, the thought that if he could negotiate that deal with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, then it would not matter if he lost his entire net worth, let alone a cargo.

Thinking of this, the owner of the ship immediately made a decision and was ready to give the order to sail the ship.

But Richard Weiston raised his hand to stop the ship's master's order, and then showed a wry smile, and said, "It's too late, it's too late!"
