The weapon of the country

A day later, in the open-air teahouse outside Fucheng Customs, Miss Wood was wearing a wine-red suit and a large-brimmed hat. The sun shone on the beautifully curved lady hat, and she was holding a bone china teacup with her slender hands.It looks light, but the fingers are stretched white.

She is no stranger to entering the empire for the second time under a false identity.The first time it happened was when she was seven years old and entered the empire under the pseudonym Yang Lusi.The Wood family is at the top of the pyramid of power in the floating city, a huge mafia family.The family owns an underwater warehouse, buys and sells weapons, and stores in half the city have to pay security fees to her family.

Her family has been in contact with the imperial government.The floating city is self-governing in name, but in fact the empire and the federation have manipulated a large part of the native-born people of the floating city as agents.Of course, the Empire acquiesced in allowing Fernan Wood's daughter to study and live in the Empire—she knew at the age of ten that no matter how badly she did in the college entrance examination, she would be "lucky" to be admitted to the highest institution of the Empire in the end.

I didn't expect that after being admitted... I would meet that femme fatale woman.She was used by her to escape into the floating city through her relationship.

Well it's all over.She has nothing to do with her anymore, she has already handed her over to the people of the Federation.

The e-reader on the desk was showing her information, Lindy, her new name.Soon she wasn't Kay Wood any more, but Lindy, ordinary, dead parents, leaving a nice legacy.She has had enough of the turbulent experience of the past two weeks, and she will live the rest of her life safely in this capacity.

Get a job, find a sweet and uninteresting man or woman, get married, have a baby or adopt a baby...

I used to have a magnificent dream, but now I know the value of being rich and stable.

Miss Kay Wood gradually relaxed. At this moment, several gunshots were fired—not military laser guns, but old-fashioned guns that were circulated on the market under gun control.

There were screams and people fled.The parasol was knocked down by the chaotic flow of people.

"What's wrong?" Kay Wood asked.

Two bodyguards had already stood in front of her, and one pressed the ear-mounted communicator with a dignified expression, "The Schneider family suddenly attacked us and attacked the base camp..."

The Schneider family is the old enemy of the Wood family, and there has been a blood feud for several generations.

The bodyguard said heavily, "Master Wei An seems to be injured!"

Instead, Miss Wood calmed down and glanced at the customs hall.

People dispersed and she could go directly to the customs hall.As long as she leaves the floating city, everything about the Wood family has nothing to do with her.Mother is dead, father is dead, Wei An, her brother...was not born with her mother at all, I am afraid that she will fight for it, and I wish to marry her out and marry her.

The words of the bodyguard in the next second completely disrupted her position.

"The Schneider family took over the military factory and underwater warehouse..."

The teacups and dessert plates on the table were smashed, she walked out and pulled the tablecloth on the table, "Did they rob the underwater warehouse?"

Although she said "I don't care where Zhong Jiaqi goes", she guessed that she was in the underwater warehouse.

The Schneiders were after her.

The bodyguard was stunned. Why was this indifferent lady excited when she heard about the underwater warehouse?Is there any particularly valuable goods in it?

He licked his lips dryly, "Yes... Strangely, it seems that they are really going to the military factories and underwater warehouses..."

The Schneider family knew that they were looking for Zhong Jiaqi, but they were not sure whether Zhong Jiaqi was hiding in the military factory or the underwater warehouse.But occupying these two places, they will find out sooner or later, Zhong Jiaqi is valuable to both the empire and the Federation, and is a precious weight in the current situation.

Kay Wood reminded himself repeatedly that that woman had no heart, was ruthless and unscrupulous... full of anger towards Zhong Jiaqi:

She lied to me, she used me, she didn't deserve my sacrifice for her.I have my wonderful life, and I have prepared 200 million Reichsmarks under Lindy's account, which is enough for me to live a decent second half of my life without any worries...

If I don't sell her news to the empire, I'm doing my best, how cheap I am to save her!

Her eyes were full of determination, and she said to the bodyguard, "Wei An is trash, the Wood family is finished. I want to leave the floating city, you can save your own life." She picked up her suitcase and walked towards the customs.

The sudden gang fire did not startle the flow of people in Fucheng. The government here is weak, and the police and mafia families have long relied on the police and mafia families to maintain order.

Zhuang Ye mixed in the crowd, followed the crowd, and said to the communicator in a low voice, "I'm on Central Avenue, the Imperial Bank Building."

He was closer to the underwater warehouse than Shen Han, and Shen Han said, "Wait for me."

"it is good."

Gangsters in their signature black suits held guns and yelled at him, "Don't stay on the streets!"

Zhuang Ye pretended to be trembling and hid in the building.

Shen Han strode towards the prayer room of Bishop Raymond, and a low-ranking servant said in surprise, "Priest Leon, this is the prayer time for His Excellency the Bishop..."

Shen Han patted him on the shoulder, "Your Excellency will be willing to see me."

There are six pillars in the prayer room of Bishop Raymond. The entire room is made of marble and is empty. There are patterns carved on the four walls of the stone. The entrance is facing the three-dimensional carved statue of the Passion. The naked skin of the statue is covered with gold leaf, which is solemn because of pain.

The purple-robed bishop clasped his hands and fingers, praying silently.

Shen Han waited at the door, not long after, Bishop Raymond turned around, "What should I call you?"

Obviously not "Priest Leon."

Shen Han recited the phrase in the Hill language, "'Faith leads to virtue'."

Bishop Raymond also read it, "May 'Faith lead virtue'."

"So that's how it is." Shen Han said, the Hill language is a dead language, and today only nobles and the Holy See can use it.His Hill language was learned from the nobles, and the pronunciation of "faith" is different from that of the Holy See.Priest Tomma couldn't find out, but the bishop who also studied at the Holy Seminary could tell the difference.

Shen Han said, "Is the Holy See in another cold war with the empire, so you didn't pass the news to the empire, but to the Schneider family?"

With the development of science and technology, the status of the Holy See is not as lofty as it was centuries ago.The princes of the empire once knelt in the Holy See, begging the Pope to recognize their status as rulers, and asking the Pope to crown them.But at the latest royal wedding, the duke didn't even ask the pope to officiate.

The Cold War between the Empire and the Holy See exhausted the Holy See, but of course Bishop Raymond would not admit it.

"The Holy See has nothing to do with any secular country or political system, only with the believers."

Shen Han nodded understandingly, "Then is the Holy See willing to improve relations with the believers of the Federation?"
