The town of Holin is located at the mouth of the Tomlin River, the most important waterway of the Shavat Kingdom, because of its superior geographical advantages, the town of Holin with a treaty port is the economic center of the Shavat Kingdom.

The entire town of Huolin is divided into five blocks: southeast, northwest, and middle.

The southern area is the wharf, which is dominated by the Sonswo neighborhood, which belongs to the poor and lower class neighborhoods.

The North End is a commercial district, dominated by the Wall District, where some large guilds and associations are located.

The western district is a political block, dominated by the Queens district, and the town's public affairs and functional departments are located in this area.

The eastern district is the ecclesiastical district, dominated by the Evan Lin neighborhood, where the branches of several sects practiced by the Shavant Kingdom are located, such as the Sect of Knowledge and Life, and the Sect of the Blue Sea......

The Midland is the upper-class residential area of the town, dominated by the Rose Block, and the mayor of the town, Viscount Syndicate, lives in the Gothic buildings of the Midland.

The Kampra Daily is located in the northern part of Hollin, the northernmost part of the Wall neighborhood.

Lyon along the Boulevard Holin through the Sonswo neighborhood, it is obvious that the architectural style and scope of the environment here have changed greatly, the roads in the Sonswo neighborhood are mostly muddy, except for the gravel there is no paving, the buildings are mainly low-rise wooden houses, very conventional European bungalow buildings, most of the people are dressed in shabby, the living conditions are dirty and messy, and the roads in the Wall neighborhood are paved with stone bricks, the buildings are mainly three-storey, most of them are baroque, and the steam carriages carry men and women dressed formally back and forth.

Leon fixed his gaze on a master and a servant, the man was dressed in a tuxedo, a black top hat, a long black umbrella in his hand, and a pair of leather shoes were shiny, looking like a traditional gentleman, and he was followed by a peculiar human figure!

It is a clockwork robot dressed as a maid, and its wooden face is carved to life, like a young girl.

In the kingdom of Shavant, these clockwork robots are called demon spirits, and they come from the Clockwork Association, which is the Clockwork Association that has contributed to the anti-life fusion association, and has been intervening and opposing the research and production of life fusions, and they are more inclined to this kind of clockwork robot that has no self-awareness.

In Leon's memory, there was no real clockwork robot in the town of Horin before going to sea, and I didn't expect that a wind-up robot would appear on the street of Horin a month later, you must know that Horin is a relatively deep-rooted place of knowledge and life sect, and most of the people here support life fusion.

Viscount Syndicate, the mayor of Holin Town, has always been a supporter of the royal family, and his policy has always followed the royal family, before the town was not allowed to appear in the town, and now the demon spirits can appear in the Wall neighborhood, it seems that Rooney III's policy scale is beginning to tilt towards the side of the anti-life fusion.

But these have nothing to do with Lyon, policy is a game played by vested interests, he is an ordinary person who knows too much and is not of much use, although his profession is similar to that of a journalist, he should know something about this aspect, but he thinks that he is just an entertainment reporter, just write about anecdotes, and don't want to get involved in too complicated situations.

Through the bustling crowds, the overall environment of the Wall Quarter is much more elegant than that of the Sonswo Neighborhood, and the decoration of each shop can be described as gorgeous, and most of the customers here are well-mannered gentlemen and ladies, who are neatly dressed and formal, and their behavior is also regular.

Maybe it's because of his inner discomfort, Leon doesn't like this environment very much, although he also wants to move out of Sonswo, but he only wants to find a better environment and a safer location, where he always feels constrained, bound by the rules of etiquette.

The sign of the Campra Daily Club is getting closer and closer, and Lyon is finally there.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Leon? Finally back? Your brother Swanko has been here for days. A hoarse male voice came from the doorway.

Leon knew who it was, and the hoarse voice was very distinctive, and he was none other than Old Bill, the gatekeeper.

A kind old man with gray hair and a short beard was sitting at his desk in the courtyard, with a pair of brown reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and a pipe in his mouth, smiling at Leon.

As a newcomer, Old Bill still takes good care of Leon, and Leon has a very good impression of him.

Leon lifted his backpack and responded politely: "Well, I'm back, I have encountered many things on this voyage, which has worried you." ”

"It's a good thing to come back safely, you have this month's publication on your desk, take a look at it when you are free, this month is not very peaceful, the whole town of Holin and the weirdos of the Clockwork Association have not stopped." Old Bill shook his pipe and said.

"Thank you, I'll talk to you later, I'll find the president first, report the situation, and by the way, I received last month's salary." Leon took out a notebook full of landlubbers from his backpack and waved it.

"Okay, there's no need to register, you should remember President Kampra's room, the second room on the second floor on the left-hand side, and the finance room is in the third room." Old Bill took a puff on his pipe and pointed to the spiral staircase on the right.

"Okay."

Leon said goodbye to old Bill and walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor, where President Campura's room was open, but no one was there.

It seems that you can't report your work first, so let's get the money first.

Leon walked to the third room, the window of the financial room was open, and the sunlight shone in through the white mist, and in it sat a slightly chubby middle-aged woman who was looking down and tidying up her things, the woman's facial features were not bad, the ornaments around her neck were more eye-catching than their appearances, and the pearls on a string of pearl necklaces were a little too large.

"Ms. Hawley, Kampra. Is Mr. Hawley here? Leon nodded politely, this Ms. Hawley is the wife of Kampra, of course she should be polite to the woman who faces her boss, of course, the fundamental reason for politeness is that Ms. Hawley is in charge of finances, which is the only source of happiness for workers.

"Oh? Is Lyon back? It's a pity that Mr. Kampra has something to do today. Miss Hawley glanced at Aoon and continued her business.

"When will he be back? This is the travelogue of the landlubber requested by the client, and Mr. Hawley will trouble you to give it to him when he returns, and I may not be in the company for a few days, but I will have to investigate some matters. Leon asked, taking out the notebook from which the landlubber was recording his travels and placing it on the table.

"I don't know when I'll be back, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow." Ms. Hawley replied.

She glanced at the work notes on her desk and continued, "I'll give him the notebook." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and opened the drawer of the cabinet, and took out an earthy yellow envelope from the drawer.

The envelope was stuffed to the brim, clanging, and the sound was wonderful.

"You're not just here to ask my husband to hand in the manuscript, are you?" Ms. Hawley placed the envelope on the table and continued to sort through the other things, "Take it, child, it's been a hard trip. ”

Leon is not a fool, of course he knows what is inside, flattering. "Thank you, thank you, Lady Hawley, you are such a beautiful and intelligent woman that I can't hide anything from you."

Leon took the envelope, which was full but not heavy.

Leon opened the envelope and looked at it, and eager to see what the real coin looked like, he took out a savan coin.

It is a copper currency, the size of a thumb's fingernail, and it is not known how it has been processed, it is very lightweight, and the front is carved with an eagle with wings outstretched, which is the coat of arms of the kingdom of Shavant, and the number '1' on the back.

He put the Shafan coins he took out back into the envelope, and suddenly noticed that the number seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Lady Hawley, but the amount of money seems to be wrong, my monthly salary is only 8 Shafan coins, but here are 16, are you mistaken?" ”

"No, the extra money is from the client, and if you can come back, I'll give you an extra 8 Shafan coins as a reward for this trip record." Hawley said lightly.

"Delegator?" The more Leon thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could anyone pay directly before he finished reading something?

But Leon soon didn't think much about it, after all, who wouldn't want to accept this kind of thing when the money is in hand?

After thanking Ms. Hawley repeatedly, Leon went downstairs to his workstation to have a look......
