The West Thirteenth District is a legend within the city of Nedle.

The legend is as mysterious as the No. 5 Courtyard on the west side of the Nai An Governor's Palace, and it is full of horror.

If you were to evaluate a Nedel City Wonder, these two places would definitely be in the top two. Be a great topic for scary stories for those ill-intentioned puppies who want to coax little girls and light a candle in the middle of the night.

Courtyard No. 5 on the west side of the Governor's Palace is the office of the Security Department of the Flying Eagle Group.

In the eyes of the ignorant Nader, who don't know the truth, the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Group Security Forces is a strange structure, with a large pentagonal shape and a huge insignia inlaid on the top of the door. It depicts a flying eagle with its wings outstretched.

It looks like the lines are simple and rough, but it shows the murderous god of the carnivorous bird of prey Chapter 1086 stealing secrets (asking for a monthly pass).

This badge alone makes the average timid person feel frightened when they see it.

Not to mention, the Pentagon's unique design, even on a clear sunny day, most of the rooms have no access to sunlight at all. Therefore, it is particularly gloomy.

In fact, this place is already full of all kinds of weird and terrifying legends, and some people have even said that they will see ghosts when passing there.

The 13th Ward of the West Quarter of Nedel City can be compared to the headquarters of the Security Army because it is the famous 'Manhattan Water Supply and Drainage Engineering Equipment Science Research Institute,'.

Although the name is very stylish, it is stinky and long, and it is very difficult to remember, and for these ordinary people, the name is very incomprehensible and inexplicable. As soon as I heard it, I knew that it must be the Luo Pao skin who scraped the ground again...... Bah, bah, it is the most admired, the most admired, and the greatest Governor in everyone's minds.

However, in spite of this, for the sake of remembering, in general, the so-called "Manhattan Water Supply and Drainage Engineering Equipment Science Research Institute" is called the "Naian Alchemy Research Institute."

Of course, this is only for the average person.

For those who know the truth, the most terrifying place in Ned Chapter 1086 Stealing Secrets (Asking for a Monthly Pass) should be the Flying Eagle International Financial Center west of the Governor's Palace. Because that's where the headquarters of a venture capital firm comes in.

But the venture capital firm's deposits are highly classified, and few within the Flying Eagle Group even know about it. Therefore, its fame is not very obvious.

For the people of Nadel, who are full of pride and gossip, knowing the Pentagon, knowing the Manhattan Institute of Engineering, these two places are enough.

The secrets and gossip alone are completely content to boast to the hillbillies who emigrated from poor places. Coaxed them to be stunned for a moment, and then amused them with their silly expressions with a sense of superiority peculiar to the Neyans.

The legend of the headquarters of the Security Army comes from its horror, and lies in its legendary entry and exit. I saw someone being pulled in, and I never saw anyone pushed out.

And the legend of the Academy of Alchemy lies in its mystery and wonder.

Anything that comes out of the West 13th District, whether it's a steam engine or a train, whether it's a cannon or a ship, or a telegraph machine, often startles Nedle's eyeballs.

Everything that came out of there could make the Nedel people excited for a long time, and they couldn't help but be curious to find out about the West Thirteenth District.

But basically, anyone who wants to touch the 13th West District will be sent to the headquarters of the Security Army at the West 5th of the Governor's Mansion without exception. And then ・・・・・・ and then there was no more then. It's as if that person never existed, and if you're lucky, after thirty or fifty years, you might see someone familiar at the gate of a quarry or a coal mine.

From this alone, we can know how heavily guarded the entire West Thirteenth District is.

From a place five miles away from the West Thirteenth District, there is already a sentry post of the city defense force at the intersection.

The entire neighborhood belonged to the researchers and their families. They don't just work here, they live here. They are also unusually familiar with each other.

Therefore, outsiders cannot be mixed in at all.

In the center of the Alchemy Research Institute there is a large area, consisting of more than a dozen independent large compounds. There are no signs in any of the courtyards, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the research institute or not, which is an independent house.

People outside couldn't even tell that the gate of the institute was there. For safety reasons, except for a few local alchemy research institutes, all institutions are not listed.

Except for the insiders of the Manhattan Institute of Water Supply and Drainage Engineering and Equipment, no one can figure out what the different parts do. To be precise, the insiders of the Manhattan Project are only familiar with where they work, and once they take a few more steps, they are also unclear.

Edwood turned himself into a shadow and carefully dodged the patrolling soldiers all the way to the West 13th District marked on the map.

Hiding in a dark corner, seeing that there was no one around, Edwood finally stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "It's just a small town, there are more patrols on the street than Akadrin, how afraid of death is this guy Lorraine?"

But then, looking up, he saw that under the night, a large black building appeared in front of him, and Edwood was immediately dumbfounded.

He looked down at the map, and the hand-drawn map in his hand only marked the approximate extent of the West Thirteenth District, and even how big the West Thirteenth District was, the Knicks themselves were not sure.

Edwood was a little frenzied, and muttered in a low voice, "How can I find so many places?" Harddou's spies are indeed a bunch of rice buckets.

They've been working here for two years, and they can't even confirm the exact location. ”

"Who's there?" suddenly came a loud shout from the corner.

Edwood was shocked, and said in his heart: It's terrible to be discovered~!

But for a while, there was nowhere to hide, and in a hurry, he gritted his teeth and quickly raised his figure and jumped into the air.

Three black-clad security soldiers emerged from the shadows, ran over with bows and crossbows in hand, and searched the neighborhood carefully.

"Strange, I heard someone talking. ”

"Wildcats, there's been a lot of wildcats here lately. ”

As the three of them spoke, the light of the flames came from the other side.

An officer of the security army, led a large group of security soldiers, hurriedly ran out of it, and asked nervously and loudly, "What's the matter?"

"Report・I heard a little movement. ”

The officer hurriedly said, "Is there something?"

"No, nothing was found. Probably critters. The security soldier shook his head.

"Is there a false alarm?" the officer looked left and right, and then said, "Be careful lately, the big boss has sent a letter saying that it may not be peaceful recently, and the brothers have alerted me a little bit." Add double posts here. ”

"Yes~!" everyone saluted in unison, and then dispersed, returning to their posts.

Edwood has been hiding in the air, watching the security soldiers below slowly disperse, and secretly said in his heart: The soldiers here are very vigilant. This is not the way to go.

When he went out, the Knicks said that they were not optimistic about the results of his trip. Even Nicks didn't dare to stay where he was and left in a hurry to go to another hiding place.

Edwood was arrogant and didn't want to be looked down upon by an ordinary human, even though he could kill them all at any time.

What's more, Edwood also understands that if he wants to steal the manufacturing technology of cannonballs, he only has one plane, once his whereabouts are exposed, the people of the Flying Eagle Group will immediately be vigilant, so that he has no possibility of attacking.

Even cardinals and paladins will be sent to hunt him down with all their might - after all, Edwood, the Lich Doctor, is not only a traitor and a disgrace to the maple leaf danlin - but also a disgrace to the entire continent. His life box is an unsurpassed feat for every person in the Holy Light Continent.

Moreover, now that Urthy Peter's idiocy has been exposed because of his early action, Lorraine and the maintenance forces will inevitably wake up, and there is not much time left for Edwood.

"Let's do it tonight~!" Edwood muttered to himself, making up his mind in his heart, "I've got to think of something." ”

"There is~!" Edwood's eyes lit up, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he said secretly: "I'm not afraid that you won't show flaws." ”

Edwood overlooked the dark complex of buildings on the ground in mid-air, and soon spotted the railroad tracks under his feet. The railroad tracks lead into a large house, which is still lit at the moment.

"That's it. Edwood swooped down from the sky and landed lightly in the courtyard, glancing at the large three-story building in front of him.

Edwood smirked and flicked his fingers, a little ghost fire appeared on his fingertips, and then with a flick of it, the spark flew towards the roof.

The tiny green sparks grew in size rapidly during flight, and by the time they landed on the roof, they had become as big as a millstone.

As soon as the turquoise translucent flames touched the roof, it burned violently, and in the blink of an eye, half of the roof burst into flames.

The flames immediately attracted the attention of the officers on duty, and they ran out of the parking room and shouted hoarsely: "It's on fire, come and put out the fire~!"

Then the hurried alarm bell was sounded, and the sound of "bell, bell, bell" alerted the entire West 13th District.

Everywhere the lights came on, and the security soldiers ran out of the place and rushed to the workshop where the train was parked.

In a panic, he threw himself into the work of fighting the fire.

The director of the security department on duty in the 13th West District is a commando team leader, wearing a silver and black security uniform, which is very conspicuous in the crowd.

The captain was a forty or fifty-year-old veteran, calm and calm, not alarmed, looking at his subordinates who were scurrying around like headless flies in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Panic, stop me." ”

The security soldiers immediately stopped and looked at the angry boss in front of them.

The captain glanced at the officer beside him and said in a loud voice: "You, take someone to pull the locomotive out first." ”

The officer was stunned for a moment and said, "But it's on fire inside." ”

The captain was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the man, scolding: "Pig brain, you won't pull it out with a steel chain." Besides, the roof is burning. ”

The officer suddenly came to his senses and rushed forward with his men.

"You~!" The captain pointed to another person and said, "Go and push the waterwheel."

You, go and gather your men, watch the fire, and don't let the flames spread.

You, go to the gates, and don't let the people who watch the hot lots take the opportunity to get in・・・・・・"

The captain quickly assigned the work, and when everything was almost explained, the captain glanced at it and said, "The person in charge here, come with me." ”

A middle-aged man cautiously moved to the captain's side.

"How the are you on duty," the captain scolded with a slashing face: "Are you blind? How could there be a fire, burned the locomotive, believe it or not, the big boss chopped you up." ”

The middle-aged man's frightened face turned white, waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "It's not me, it's not me, this has nothing to do with me, someone ・・・・・・ someone sees someone and indulges ...... Arson. ”

"Arson~!" The captain's face changed, and he grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to himself, shouting face to face: "What the hell is going on?"

The captain spitted on the middle-aged face, and he cried and said, "I didn't see it, it was my subordinates who saw it." Milian said he saw someone throwing torches on the roof"

"Are you sure?" asked the Captain with a nervous face.

A weak voice came from the side, "Yes, my lord, I'm sure." I did see a dark shadow who raised a torch and threw it on the roof, and the fire burned all at once. ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, pushed the middle-aged man away, and said with a solemn expression: "Someone has infiltrated in~!"

Emergency plan, red alert.

Seek help from the headquarters and gather all personnel to guard the passages and strictly check for suspicious persons.

Evacuate the researchers, and send additional personnel to each key room to defend them. ”

Following his order, the security forces of the West Thirteenth District quickly moved into action, and the entire West Thirteenth District became extraordinarily hot, and there were people running by in a hurry everywhere.

Setting up this kind of noise has already awakened the nearby residents of Nedle, and the area of influence has quickly expanded, and the captain thought for a moment, then waved over an officer, and said, "Farsil, lead your squadron to guard the data room." Don't leave no matter what happens. It is the most important place in the entire West 13th District. ”

"Yes, I understand~!" The officer raised his hand and saluted, and said loudly: "First Squadron, follow me, target the first archive."

Edwood turned into a puff of black smoke and suspended in mid-air, silently observing the movement below.

Everyone's attention was on the fire, and no one would look up and notice an inconspicuous black spot in the sky.

After hearing the captain's order, Edwood smiled proudly, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm worried about the place I can't find, won't this group of fools take me over obediently." ”

Edwood tiptoed in the footsteps of the 1st Squadron and followed them to the most central courtyard of the West 13th District.

It has been surrounded by three layers of soldiers in the security army, and the newly arrived reinforcements have surrounded the nearby courtyard.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to sneak into here.

"Looks like this is it. Edwood was secretly proud in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "The next thing is to wait for these people to let their guard down." ”

The sound of neat footsteps came clearly from not far away, and the sound of thousands of pairs of leather boots stepping on the ground was shocking.

A large group of black-clad security soldiers were running down the streets, heading for the 13th district to the west.

The soldiers shook the city as they ran briskly through the otherwise silent streets, and the common people pushed open their doors and windows and looked to the west, knowing that something terrible had happened.

Edwood's heart sank, if these reinforcements were added, it would be impossible for him to sneak into the data room quietly, and it would be much more difficult to get out.

"Can't wait any longer~!" Edwood gritted his teeth and turned around and flew around the lighted yard, dropping flames in several different places, igniting the buildings there and causing chaos.

Finally, a mage spotted Edwood's figure in the air and shouted, "It's a mage, that guy is in the sky." ”

Then he took off and chased Edwood in behind.

Edwood turned and threw himself in the direction of the data room in the center, flew as fast as he could, and then slammed straight into the roof of the data room like a stone.

The security soldiers on guard nearby watched in amazement as a figure fell from the sky and slammed into the roof of the data room.

After a loud bang, the masonry splashed.

The mage chased after him, made a sharp stop in the air, and said hastily: "That man is a spy, catch him." ”

The soldiers who reacted turned around and went to bang on the iron door of the data room, only to find that no matter how hard they tried, the door did not move.

The windows of the data room are filled with one-inch thick steel bars, making it impossible to enter or exit.

And the door is very strong for safety, even if you hit it with a sledgehammer, there will be no problem.

"Go up to the room and go in through the roof. The officer outside ordered loudly.

Edwood broke through the roof, slammed into the room, and jumped off the ground in disgrace.

Ignoring his torn clothes, Edwood looked around nervously.

On all four sides are iron filing cabinets clinging to the walls, each with a shining oversized iron lock.

"Looks like this is it. Edwood was overjoyed, and then raised his hand with a simple mana shield to plug the holes in the doors, windows, and roof.

The locks of the cabinet could stop ordinary people, but not the dark mages, and with a casual stroke of Edwood's fingers, the locks were neatly broken and fell to the ground.

Edwood couldn't wait to open the cabinet, only to see that it was neatly stacked with archival materials. I took out a copy of it, and the cover of the file box read "The Principle of Wheeled Automata", and the name underneath was actually Lorraine himself.

He took out another one, which read "The Theory of Mechanics of Wheeled Machines -- On the Great Force", followed by a line of small letters: Top secret, for internal browsing only, not to be taken out, not to be copied.

The author in the back has Lorraine's name written in the first place, and the name in the latter is Jadey.

"Who is Jedy?" Edwood wondered, supposedly able to write this kind of alchemical treatise alongside Lorraine's name, and should not be a person he had not heard of.

"Forget it, don't worry about it yet. ”

Edwood laughed out loud and swept the entire cabinet into the bag.

Another cabinet was opened, and on the cabinet was a model of a steam engine, and Edwood pulled out a copy, which read "New Age Energy Conversion Structure." ”

In the next cabinet, there was actually information about the design of the train, and Edwood's excited life box was trembling. ！！！
