Volume I: Chapter 59: Hilton's Return Home

Although the news of the appearance of monsters in Karl Stream was tightly sealed, the aristocracy still spread.

It was clear to everyone that Karlliu had lost its former calm, and then the Third Reich of Lonnesia reacted first by recalling the students at St. Calliu's Academy.

Hilton von Wilhelm, ordered to return to the imperial capital.

The church hospital, the ward, which is usually almost unattended, is bustling with activity today, many injured nobles are picked up by their own country's carriage, Hilton found Sandino before leaving, Sandino scratched his head, and didn't know why Hilton was looking for him.

Hilton pulled Sandino into the hallway to the side, looking serious, and Sandino was a little more curious about what he was about to say.

After hesitating, Hilton sighed: "It stands to reason that you don't know anything, they shouldn't be difficult for you......" Sandino was still confused, not knowing what Hilton was trying to express. "Sir Hilton, what are you...... Hit silly? ”

Hilton tried very hard to resist the urge to beat him up, "This matter may not be as simple as it seems, so you have to be careful not to talk to others about what happened recently, and try to stay away from these clergy." ”

"But what about Cesare? I'm going to find him. Sandino has not seen his friend since he woke up.

"I advise you not to go to him, he may be in much worse trouble than we are now." Hilton shook his head and sighed. "What then? He may be in danger right now, and he needs us! Sandino looked anxious.

"I can probably only persuade him to ask for more blessings for himself." With that, Hilton walked out the door and boarded the carriage that had come to pick him up without looking back.

The Hilton family's carriage drove along the avenue, and there were all sorts of vehicles coming and going along the road.

One of the most eye-catching is probably the locomotive of the Papal State, no one knows what power this behemoth is used to drive, only that only one of the three major families of the Papal State, the Borgia family, controls it.

Legend has it that they call this power divine power, and it is said to make ordinary artificial mechanisms ten times more explosive.

Some people say that this power is a certain mineral, others say that this power is a plant, and some people even have rumors that this power is refined from human blood, as for what the truth is, there is still a debate in the world.

And the Borgia family, the rumored protagonists, did not want to explain the truth of these arguments.

However, it is undeniable that the mechanical civilization developed by this dynamic force has made the Papal State become the leader of the new era in just a dozen years. The surrounding countries also benefited a lot from this, and they became allies of the Papal State.

The only flaw of this power is that it is too scarce, I don't know if the Borgia family did it on purpose, or if they can only create this part of the power source, and only a small part of the public settings, military equipment, and the life of high-ranking nobles can enjoy such a cross-era technology.

While the mechanical locomotive crosses the continent, the horse-drawn carriage walks the streets of the city. When the heart of power drives the forge furnace day and night, the armor of the heavy cavalry is forged brightly, but the ordinary people still light oil lamps in their homes.

Hilton's carriage traveled a long way to Fort Pearl, the capital of the Third Reich in Lostia.

Fort Pearl, a well-known new metropolis in the West, was just an ordinary hamlet in a basin surrounded by mountains at the time of the Second Empire of Lonesia.

Later, the Second Empire of Lonisia fell, and the Vartins occupied the capital of the Second Empire, and the Third Empire had to move westward to find a suitable city as a new capital.

During this time, a secret army expelled all the original natives of the village of Pearlburg, and surrounded it three layers inside and three layers outside.

After five years of clandestine construction, the village was completely devoid of its original appearance, with walls, residential areas, hospitals, factories, and then designated as the capital.

No one knows why the emperor made it the capital, or what secrets the city holds.

The whole city is divided into the upper and lower towns, and all the residential areas are concentrated in the lower city, and the city center, hospitals, schools, and churches are also concentrated here.

As for the mysterious Upper Town, no one knows what else is here except the palace and the factory, and ordinary civilians are strictly forbidden to approach the Upper Town, and if they do, the guards' heavy crossbows can be shot without warning.

Similarly, even Hilton, an aristocratic man, had never really seen the full picture of Uptown. And today, the carriage that took him home did not drive to the center of Pearlburg, but to the north, straight to the heart of the upper town.

At the entrance to the upper town, several guards stopped the carriage. Then a man opened the door, patted the military coat on his body, and boarded the carriage and entered the carriage in two steps.

"Father......" Hilton lowered his head slightly, he knew that his father had always disliked him, as the son of a marquis, he could not use magic, and it was already a well-known thing that his father was angry and sent directly to a remote school in the Papal State.

"You...... See? "Father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, but it seems that Hilton's father, the Marquis Conrad von Wilhelm, is not in the mood to catch up with his son now.

"What?" Hilton never thought that his father would come up without a beginning or an end.

"Did you see that?" Marquis William sat down in the carriage and looked out the window, repeating the question he had just asked.

"No, I didn't see ......," Hilton thought of what the cardinal had told him, and after thinking about it, he decided to hide what he had seen in Karlliu.

"You've seen it!" This time, Marquis William turned his head and stared at his son, and his tone was no longer a question.

"Father......" Hilton knew that he couldn't hide it, and he had a stomach full of questions he wanted to ask his father.

"Do you know where this is?" Marquis William saw his son looking directly at him and turned his head away from Hilton's gaze.

"This is Uptown?" Hilton really didn't know what happened to his father today, so he could only continue to follow his father's words.

"This is the industrial area of Fort Pearl, and I've never brought you here." Marquis William pointed out the window, "We are here forging the weapons of the army, armor, forging locomotive parts. "The machines are still running day and night, furnaces calcining iron ore and giant hammers pounding pig iron.
