Three people.

Xia Yanzhen, Baron Barth, and Count Marven opposite.

Compared with Baron Barth's fat-headed and big-eared image, Count Marvin looks much more pleasing to the eye.

She is dressed neatly and exquisitely, with a large back combed back, revealing a rather high hairline, and looks about sixty years old.

At his age, he can still maintain such a hairline, and it is a place like Lington, which can indeed be well displayed.

If Linton's men don't wear hats when they travel, then the sleek head and the top of the head are expected to replace hats and become Linton's characteristics.

"Lord Bart, don't you want to introduce this one?" Count Marvin said.

In fact, he already knew Xia Yan's true "identity" - a kidnapper, a small patrol officer from Grand Field.

More than an hour has passed since the accident at Bart's house.

The whole Gran Field is in action.

It is impossible for Count Marvin not to have been heard.

"Munster Xia, Ranger Patrolman." Xia Yanzhen said, "I'm here for the fourth generation of armor. ”

"Fourth-generation armor?"

"That's right." Baron Bart hurriedly spoke, "Munster is my distant nephew, he is very interested in steam armor, and he has always wanted to see the power of the fourth generation of armor. ”

Count Marven frowned slightly.

glanced at Bart's face that could make waves, and then looked at Xia Yanzhen's handsome face.

Distant nephew?

Even with the addition of "far-fart", the words are still as lame as the street performers in Midtown.

Of course, Count Marven would not debunk it, he just looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked, "Why do you want to see the fourth generation of armor?" ”

"Curious."

"Curious about what?"

"How powerful it is." Xia Yanzhen smiled.

"So you came to me?"

"Bart said what are you the head of the institute. With your status, it's still easy to take me to test the fourth-generation armor, right? Xia Yanzhen asked.

"It's nature." "But why should I say yes?" ”

As soon as he had said this, he saw Bart wink frantically at him.

But the pride of being a nobleman still made Count Marven raise his head and look at Xia Yanzhen with his nostrils.

"Just a test?" Xia Yanzhen said.

"We have testers."

"No, I mean, with four generations of armor, put me to the test." Xia Yan's smile made Count Marven feel inexplicably cold.

As a creature, I instinctively sense some kind of danger.

"Well, Munster, let me and the Count be good—" Baron Bart hurried to the round, wanting to explain the stakes to Marven.

was just glanced at by Xia Yanzhen, and immediately closed his mouth and said no more.

Xia Yan Zhencai didn't care if he could negotiate or not.

If you can't negotiate, then test it in another way.

If you "make a big fuss at the Earl's Palace", the armored team of Gran Field will definitely be dispatched, right?

It is also possible to test the combat effectiveness of these four generations of armor.

Count Marven glanced at Bart and looked at Xia Yanzhen seriously.

The three generations of armor that are stored in the house have already been worn, a total of two, just outside the door.

As soon as he gives the order, he can rush in, one to protect, the other to tear the person to shreds.

But I don't know if it's because of the inner turmoil, or Bart's strange behavior, or both.

Jean Count Marvin did not order.

"Tomorrow, come over tomorrow morning, and I'll take you there." After a moment of silence, Count Marven said.

"Whew-"

Hearing this, Bart breathed a sigh of relief and his body relaxed.

The rest of the couch springs made a sound, making Marven glance sideways.

Well, it's good that it's not an antique chair.

Otherwise, you might sit down.

Unexpectedly, Bart was also a ruthless person, and he actually put blood pattern armor on his body, which seemed to be a bit old.

Count Marvin narrowed his eyes, remembering a rumor he had heard.

Bart's former identity doesn't seem to be very good.

But looking at his current appearance, he doesn't look like a person who has suffered before.

"Then tomorrow, when the time comes, I'll come to you." Xia Yanzhen stood up.

"Eight o'clock." Marven set the time.

Xia Yanzhen waved his hand and opened the door of the living room.

"Oh? It looks like this. ”

He looked outside at the two third-generation steam mechanical armors.

The humanoid shape, the gray armor that wraps around the whole body, can be seen in the various connections that are exposed, and the height is about two meters and a half.

Heavy, calm and powerful.

It's a bit like the armor of the villain in Iron Man 1.

It is much rougher in all aspects, and you can see the traces of rivets and welding, and it is deliberately not polished to be smooth.

The Iron Beast, which brings a powerful sense of oppression.

Standing next to it, you can feel the scorching heat emanating from the armor.

I'm afraid it's hotter inside the armor, and the controller with his head exposed, I'm afraid that after controlling it for a while, he will be dehydrated.

Xia Yanzhen could now see the sweat on the foreheads of these two manipulators.

It can be seen that this kind of armor is not very good at endurance - not by itself, but by people.

Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand and knocked on the third-generation armor, making a dull sound.

Reaching out and pinching it again, he shook his head, looked a little disappointed, and turned away.

The manipulator raised his arm and looked at it, and his face changed dramatically.

Outside the forearm of the armor, there are two small dents!

The armor was well maintained and did not go through any battles - only some tests.

As a "driver", he was well aware that the armor did not have such dent flaws.

This dent was made by this person just now!

"Lord Earl!"

The driver couldn't help but shout, this matter must be reported!

In the living room, Marven was asking Bart about Xia Yanzhen and tonight.

Bart was so confused that he didn't know where to start.

I heard the incredible voice of the bodyguard outside.

Marvin got up and went out, and came back a minute later, looking at Bart with burning eyes: "Who the hell is that Munster Xia!" ”

His expression was not only surprised and frightened, but also with anticipation that even he didn't realize.

Is the lost power of the nobles, the glory of the past, going to return?

First Jack the Ripper, then Munster Xia.

But why did they do it to the nobles!

You've got the wrong shot!

Xia Yanzhen, who was mistaken for the "former glory of the nobility", had already left and disappeared into the night of Lington.

"It's a pity that it's not equipment. Otherwise, even if it is not easy to wear, at least it can be sold. ”

Avoiding his fellow patrol officers, Xia Yanzhen jumped between the buildings.

He was a little disappointed, not because the armor was not hard enough, but because the third-generation armor was not equipment.

If it is, even if there are all kinds of inconveniences, you can take it away and let it play its due value.

In many cases, the value of this kind of mass production and standard stuff lies not in itself, but in "technology".

If it can be successfully reproduced, the value is self-evident.

Xia Yanzhen definitely doesn't have this ability.

If it's equipment that can be taken out, anything is possible.

Not now, we can only look at the fourth generation of armor.

If the fourth-generation armor is, bringing out a few more will definitely make a huge difference.

The next morning.

At seven o'clock, Xia Yanzhen walked on the streets of Shangcheng District, holding a scepter and a black umbrella.

There was no rain in Lington yesterday.

There was a light rain today without any surprise, and the whole of Lington was shrouded in drizzle and fog.

I can't see the sky clearly, and I can't see the ground clearly in the sky.

Cold, damp.

It's no wonder that many people like to wear hats, three days are rainy, three days are cloudy, and one day is foggy.

On this kind of day, when you walk around outside, your hair will get wet.

It's a lot better to have a hat.

Definitely not to hide your baldness, yes, that's it.

Xia Yanzhen didn't wear a hat.

The black umbrella of the scepter makes full use of the umbrella to keep the raindrops out.

The Prisoner of Darkness was invulnerable, so it was also very dry, leaving a "barrier" between Xia Yanzhen and Lington's clammy coldness.

The streets of Uptown are wide, but there are few pedestrians, and there are more horse-drawn carriages than people.

In such weather, in order to show their benevolence and face, the nobles will let the subordinates who go out to do errands take the car.

The nobility of the upper city rarely walked.

If you see someone walking in Uptown, there are three possibilities for that person.

One is the servants, the second is the non-upper-city residents, and the third, the down-and-out nobles, who are only left with the upper-city property that is about to be lost.

In fact, there are not a few old aristocrats in the upper city who are so downtrodden that they want to leave.

In order to maintain their glory, these people would come together with the rich and rich, each taking what he wanted.

It was in this way that the rich gradually eroded into the aristocratic circles and gradually became one of the rulers.

Most of the pedestrians Xia Yanzhen saw were servants, and some were patrol officers in charge of patrolling.

He wasn't worried about being seen by the patrol police blowing the whistle because of what happened last night.

Baron Bart must have settled the matter.

If it doesn't settle, then fight.

The patrol officers walked by in pairs, and did not pay much attention to Xia Yanzhen.

The common denominator of Jack the Ripper's crimes, in addition to the fact that the dead are all nobles, there is another one, that is, the dead all died at night.

During the day, it's safe – for now.

Therefore, the patrol officers during the day will also be more relaxed.

If you encounter someone walking alone at night, the night watchmen will not be able to come up for questioning.

Soon, Xia Yanzhen came to Count Marven's residence.

The large iron door was closed, and two umbrellas were propped up behind the door.

Two bodyguards are right under the umbrella.

They had a relationship with Xia Yanzhen yesterday, and they were also instructed, and when they saw Xia Yanzhen coming, they immediately opened the door and let them go.

Not long after entering the villa, Xia Yanzhen and Count Marven left in a carriage together.

Count Marvin was very efficient.

"Were your ancestors nobles?" Inside the carriage, Count Marven and Xia Yan sat opposite each other, and after being silent for a while, he asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"Your strength is extraordinary." Earl Marven's tone was slightly excited, "Is it that the power deposited in the bloodline has finally begun to recover?" ”

"Huh." Xia Yanzhen smiled, "No, all the civilians in my family's ancestors. ”

"How is that possible?" Count Marvin categorically denied, "It is impossible for civilians to have your power!" Only the nobility has mastered supernatural powers. ”

"You are mistaken, it is the power to become a nobleman." Xia Yanzhen said, "It's not that nobles have power, and not everyone who has power can become a noble. Even if it is, after the struggle is lost, the whole family is dead, and the remaining widows, exiled, and illegitimate children, are scattered. For thousands of years, why do you think that only the blood of these noble surnames contains the so-called deposited power?

"Only nobles have power?

"Well, I don't object, but everyone is a 'nobleman'."

Kavin is late, please forgive me.
