Char left the area and entered the forest on one side.

Isabel has officially named this place the Fairy Forest.

Compared to the past, there was obviously a lot more ecosystem here, and he saw some little fairies hiding in the bushes, looking at him curiously.

Some unknown insects that emit fluorescence crawl on the trees, and the white-haired monkeys stand on the branches of the trees and watch them quietly, their dark eyes shining with smart light, and they seem to have a good IQ.

In addition, Char seemed to feel the gaze of some fierce beasts and stared at Char.

Fairy Forest is known as the "Forbidden Forest" in Hogwarts because of the many dangerous magical creatures that make it a place for young magicians.

Soon he found a small wooden house in the middle of the forest, small with a yard.

Char walked into the courtyard and heard a series of fierce barks in his ears.

He turned his head and saw a dog emerging from the kennel on one side, lips turned out, grinning at him, and his eyes full of threat.

The dog looks like a meteorite-colored border herder, but the brown around the corners of the eyes is a bit like an Australian herder, and it is much larger, larger than a giant dog like the Central Asian Shepherd.

"Quiet, Melly!"

The door opened, and Isabel stepped out, soothing to the dog.

"What kind of dog is this?" Char asked curiously.

"What I found out from Beichen when I was on an expedition, I don't know exactly what it is." Isabel said, "But it should be a magical creature native to Beichen." ”

Char nodded, and Alicia also walked out of Isabel's room, holding a kitten-like cub in her hand, but if you look closely, the skeleton is large, and the snow-white fur has some black lines, it is a very beautiful white tiger cub.

When she returned from Sarajevo, Alicia asked him if he wanted to see the White Tiger.

Then Char pulled her into the room.

When he washed the sheets, he realized that she was really talking about a white tiger.

In addition to Sonny, Alicia actually had a lot of pets in the past, such as the Hai Dongqing she gave her before.

But it is only a few decades of life.

After its death, Alicia was sad for a long time, and in memory of it, she made a specimen of it and placed it in its former nest as if it were still there.

After that, Alicia said she never wanted to have a pet again.

Originally, they chose to move because of Arthur and Sonny.

But Arthur and Sonny didn't live there anymore, and only him, Alicia, and Calcifer were left in the villa.

At first, Char and Alicia actually enjoyed it very much, because this was a rare world for two, and they could enjoy their lives without caring about anyone.

But now, a hundred years later, their enthusiasm has gradually faded a little, and the villa they used to feel comfortable living in is a little panicked.

It's a bit inappropriate for two empty nesters to live in such a big house.

So more often than not, Alicia prefers to drink tea in the courtyard looking at the scenery rather than staying in the living room.

Obviously, this loneliness made her want to try to get some pets again.

This white tiger is a magical creature and will live longer.

"This white tiger is also a reproduction of the genes extracted from the things I found during my expedition to Beichen." Isabel said, "Although it is a magical creature, it should not be the legendary white tiger, there should be some bloodline of him." ”

Char reached out and teased its chin, which was clearly a little disliked, and opened its mouth, revealing its still underdeveloped tiger teeth, and let out a milky whin.

"It's a lot more tempered than Sonny." Char teased.

"I can't keep it here." Isabel said, "One mountain does not allow two tigers, and it is more appropriate to keep them on your peninsula." ”

"Is the other one male too?" Char asked curiously.

"Two individuals who are genetically similar." Isabel said.

Char nodded, he looked at Alicia, and smiled softly, "Give it a name." ”

Alicia thought for a while, "Since it comes from the East, let's call it Tai Sui, I read a book before, saying that the White Tiger is the fierce god of the year." ”

Char nodded, "Then call it that name." ”

"Where are we going next?" Alicia asked.

"To St. Petersburg." Char said quietly, "We. . . Go and meet someone."

Tesla's red airship was soaring over Siberia, and the biting cold wind blew in through the cracks in the airship, scurrying around the cabin, and the belt of Niko's flight suit crackled.

Even in this era, Niko's airship is top-notch in terms of endurance and flight speed, as well as flight altitude, and he has made many modifications to this airship over the years.

Niko is almost fifty-eight years old, but his hair is still jet black and he has a very delicate mustache on his face.

His eye sockets are very deep, the bridge of his nose is very straight, and he looks only in his forties, although his eyes are bright, but there is nothing strange about it.

But it is estimated that no one thought that such an ordinary person would be at the heart of this world war.

During these years, he never stopped inventing.

In addition to mecha technology and alternating current technology, he also invented the radio-controlled boat, and the radio-controlled technology was patented.

In 1899, he invented X-ray photography. Other inventions include: radios, fax machines, vacuum tubes, neon tubes, missile navigation, etc.

He even named the unit of magnetic density (1Tesla = 10,000 Gause) after him, indicating his contribution to magnetism.

To date, he holds more than 700 patents and is arguably the greatest inventor of the early 20th century.

There was also a man standing in the spaceship, also in a flight suit, very young, probably in his twenties, very similar to Niko.

His name is Dane Tesla.

The name used to belong to his older brother, and later Tesla gave the name to his own son.

Foreigners like to use the name of this famous elder to name their children, which is why many emperors in Europe have a second and third emperors, all because of the same name, so a life is added to the end.

Yes, this young man is the child of Tesla and Nawda.

According to common sense, such a crown prince of the Kingdom of Serbia should not follow him around on adventures.

However, like Tesla, although he does not have the talent of Tesla, he wants to be an adventurer more than inherit the throne.

The empty boat was secretly brought up by him, and Tesla had no choice but to take him away.

They had just come out of Beichen and were now on their way to Tsarist Russia, the last stop of their trip.

Before that, Tesla had already traveled to Britannia to talk to the president there about the war and where they stand.

Then, he went to Beichen again.

The key to this war was the attitude of Tsarist Russia, as long as they re-chose to support Serbia, then it was clear that Germany would not be able to fight a two-front war at the same time.

And as long as the German Empire surrendered, then the defeat of Austria-Hungary was also a matter of time.

And the key to Tsarist Russia is obviously Beichen.

He chatted with the Beichen people for a long time, and then sent an envoy to Tsarist Russia with the wishes of the Beichen people.

Dane leaned out of the porthole wearing aviation glasses, and there was a field of ice and snow below, and his teeth chattered from the biting cold wind, making him directly withdraw his gaze.

"I told you." Tesla said calmly, "The sky has never been a fun place. ”

Dane was obviously a little unconvinced, he raised his head, "That's it, it's not so cold everywhere." ”

Tesla didn't say anything, just controlled the airboat and continued north.

After a while, the clouds gradually dispersed to the sides, and Dane could clearly feel that the airship was descending.

He quickly leaned out of the porthole again and looked down.

The legendary St. Petersburg appeared at their feet, and the hills were full of traces of human activity.

The city was one of the first in the world to be built according to a unified style plan, and the architectural gems are numerous, and the city itself is an open-air architectural museum.

These centuries-old buildings are both Baroque and Rococo; It is not only symmetrical, but also disrupts balance; The pursuit of grandeur and attention to sculptural details, each of which is embedded in the architecture speaks of St. Petersburg's past in a unique language.

However, due to the progress of industrialization, the city has also added some modern urban scenery.

To the north of the city is the legendary Baltic Sea, which is adorned with merchant ships from all over the world, including steamboats, sailboats, and dozens of flags.

It's all shrouded in smoke - factories and engines everywhere, and mechs loom in the narrow streets.

There are no birds in the gray sky that carry a message; Rooftops, stone spires, and numerous radio antennas stretch as far as the eye can see, with only a few planes and gyroplanes passing by.

"Did you see a German or Austro-Hungarian warship?" Tesla asked.

"No," Dane said.

"That doesn't look too bad."

At this time, on the operating table in front of Tesla, there was a sudden sizzling electric sound.

Tesla hurriedly stretched out his hand and rotated a button on the console, and the current sound gradually became clear.

"Hello, Mr. Tesla, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."

Tesla had sent a telegram before he came, and his airship had been documented among the top leaders of countries around the world.

If the telegram had not been sent earlier, it is estimated that they would have been shot down by the anti-aircraft guns below before they reached the sky above St. Petersburg.

After all, this is a time of war, and not long ago, there was an example of a civil aviation airship being shot down by a missile when it passed through a war zone.

At this time, Dane saw two gyroplanes floating on either side of them, and the rotors on both sides buzzed, like the sound of fly wings amplified many times over.

He saw that the drivers were wearing headphones on their ears, apparently to protect their ears as well.

"Thanks, you lead the way." Tesla said.

The gyrocopter dived forward for some distance and came in front of them.

The airboat slowly followed.

Dane continued to poke his head out and look down the street, where there appeared to be a group of people marching, waving their fists into the air, chanting some kind of slogan, and clutching newspapers in their hands.

Dane's eyes widened to read the contents of the newspapers, but they were too far away, but each newspaper had a picture of an empty boat with some headlines on it.

He was curious to know who these people were, but apparently, Tesla didn't know much more than he did.

They soon came to the vicinity of the summer palace, where the overgrown courtyard was about the size of a cricket pitch.

The person below is waving a chess piece in his hand, which seems to be some kind of generic chess language.

Under the guidance of these men, the airship quickly landed on a flat ground, and its movements were very light. After landing, the airship is like a red butterfly, adding to the garden.

The thrusters blew out and the wind rustled the leaves of the trees around it.

Tesla picked up the box placed on the empty boat and walked downstairs with Dane, more than a hundred windows looking down on them, the grilles of each window glittering golden in the sunlight.

Dane didn't know if anyone was watching them, but behind the window there might be a minister or adviser to Tsarist Russia, or the Tsar's Empress.

It was similar to the palace where he lived, but it was larger, a four-story building, as square as a cake.

There were three smoking chimneys on top, and faintly they could hear the roar of machinery.

There was already a man standing at the door of the palace, dressed in a very modest dress.

When he saw Tesla, he walked over directly, stretched out his hand to him, and said enthusiastically.

"Prince Tesla, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hello." Tesla nodded at him.

"I'm the Minister in charge of the Praetorian Guard and the Treasury, and you can call me Barlow." Barlow Road.

"Mr. Barlow." Tesla laughed, "I think you already know my name." ”

"Yes, the closest human to the gods in the legend, how could I forget." Barlow said.

"You're overrated." Tesla said calmly.

It was something that had been in his ears lately, and he had heard it when he was on a trip to Britannia, and he had heard it when he was on a trip to Beichen.

"The reason why this title has spread so widely also shows that many people agree with this sentence, doesn't it?" He said.

He held out his hand towards the door behind him, "Please come with us, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." ”

With that, he led them into this palace, the interior of the building is beautiful, and there are some mythical paintings on the dome, which look magnificent.

It's just that there are some steam pipes that twist through the walls, and the pipes are painted gold, and they are even more beautiful.

At each door stood a guard, dressed in tall and elegant uniforms, wearing waist knives,

Each guard bowed to them when they saw them, repeating a greeting in a low voice.

Dane understood this, it was "Hello" in Russian. ”

After a while, they were led by the Governor to a high front at the end of the corridor, and he raised his head.

"In front of it is the reception room of His Majesty the Great Tsar Nicholas II, the emperor and dictator of all Russia."

He clapped his hands three times, and the door opened with a hissing sound, and a scent of incense mixed with a faint smell of fuel came to his face.

Compared to the sunny outdoors, the reception room is relatively dimly lit.

In front of them, towered a behemoth, sitting cross-legged and looking like a mechanical statue.

The metal statue was draped in a black gauze of unknown size, which looked like a pair of military trousers, a silver belt tied around the chest full of badges, horns on its strangely shaped and slightly hideous head, and a cloak of velvet that covered the entire carpet.

After getting used to the darkness, they noticed a man underneath the Colossus, dressed exactly like the Colossus, and sitting cross-legged on the silk couch in the same position, even the medallion, with his hands on his knees.

"Welcome, Prince Tesla." The man raised his right hand, revealing an empty palm.

The colossus behind him vibrated and modeled his movements. The whole colossus looked like it was alive, and even had the same soul as the person below.

It's an automata - the whole parlor can be thought of as a giant machine (end of chapter)
