This is the largest port at the southern tip of the Golden Oak Kingdom.

Since entering the steam age, through the development of industry, the national strength of the Golden Oak Kingdom has been significantly improved, and the growth of its own economy, the rapid expansion of the industry, and the urgent need for more raw material production and commodity dumping places.

Victoria Harbour is one such important node connecting the Golden Oak Kingdom with many colonies.

Every day, a large number of huge merchant ships emitting thick black smoke sailed into the harbor, tilting down a large number of goods, and piling up the same weight of local goods, whether they were local administrators, craftsmen, dock coolies, and even hawkers and warblers, all of whom always looked like they were in a hurry.

For them, time is of the essence! Time is money!

As the pride of the port, the duplex steam clock tower that stands at the very center of the port and is the only giant landmark in the entire kingdom that accurately measures time to seconds.

As soon as Vidi and the others arrived at this port, they were immediately stunned by this monster-like vomiting and busyness.

"This is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Golden Oak Kingdom, and there are customs tax breaks, so you can see special goods from all over the world!"

Wu Ming took the team to a hotel to complete the accommodation procedures: "Now that we are disbanded, we can play here for a week, and then take a yacht to sea!" Be careful, casinos and bars are not the place you should be now! ”

In the end, he unconsciously added.

Because of the need to meet the needs of a large number of sailors, gambling here is very well developed with some kind of service industry.

"Cut!"

Vidi gestured dismissively.

This guy proudly declared to Wu Ming as early as when he was in middle school that he had been honorably removed from his department-level position, and now he can be regarded as one of the few people in Yinchao City, who can be called proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

Of course, most of it was hidden from his parents, otherwise he would definitely be beaten to death.

"Steven, don't worry, we're all adults and know what is important!"

Neville also said calmly, but Wu Ming secretly rolled his eyes.

He was all too familiar with this guy he had cultivated single-handedly, and Neville's eyes lit up when he heard Victoria Harbour, obviously looking like he had been longing for a long time.

Not to mention, through the business sharing over the years, he has also saved a lot of money, and it seems that he is ready to squander luxury.

"Angelina, how about we go to the mall? Aren't you your favorite fashion in the Bauhinia Federation? There's a lot of it here! ”

Wu Ming looked at his sister next to him.

"I'm tired!"

The little girl held her head high proudly and slammed the door of the room with her hand.

"The little girl's rebellious period has arrived, it's okay!"

Lanny next to Philip said in a very gentle tone, but secretly pinched Philip next to him in his hand.

"What do you do?"

Philip raised his hands to show his injustice: "I never wanted to go to the red light district, it's all Vidi and Neville!" ”

"Dare to say it!"

It turns out that no matter what the world, when it comes to reasoning, a man in love is definitely not a match for a woman.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Watching the two of them fighting, and finally discussing whether to go to a famous couple's restaurant to have a meal and take a photo to commemorate it, Alice suddenly leaned over: "Steven, what are you going to do at night?" ”

"I have a date!"

"What?"

Alice obviously misunderstood something, and her face turned red with anger: "I didn't think you were this kind of person!" ”

"Uh......"

Wu Ming looked at her back as she left angrily, and was a little speechless: "I'm going to do business!" ”

……

Night.

All kinds of brilliant neon lights flickered all over the harbor, especially in the harbor outside, and the huge searchlights were like the sun, and the light was stronger than in the daytime, even if a pin had dropped on the ground.

After the daytime dock coolies were finished, they were replaced by a group of special night shift workers.

The entire port is constantly in operation around the clock, constantly handling goods from all over the world.

"Harbor that never sleeps! True to its name! ”

Wu Ming wore a black trench coat, a hat and sunglasses.

He was already tall, and after a slight change of appearance at this time, I am afraid that even Neville and Vidi will not be recognizable face to face.

At this time, he was sitting under a roadside umbrella in a café, with a red rose in front of him.

"Are you...... Boss? ”

A fashionable and young woman walked over, with a very bright lipstick on her lips and a heavy smell of perfume on her body, and sat directly opposite Wu Ming.

"It's me!"

Wu Ming's voice also became thicker: "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

This woman was naturally Diya, and she chuckled: "What could be more suitable for showing up than a wandering warbler?" In Victoria Harbour, this layer of identity is the best cover. ”

"How?"

She licked her lips suddenly, looking a little confused: "Handsome guy, do you want to play?" ”

"Although your mental strength has improved again, in front of me, you don't have to play that trick!"

Wu Ming looked immovable.

"Cut, it's boring!"

Diya dragged her chin in one hand and sucked the drink in front of her, and the translucent lemonade disappeared gracefully between her two red lips with the straw, making the eyes of all the men next to her look envious.

"How's it going?"

Wu Ming got closer, and the aroma on Diya's body became stronger and stronger.

"I have already contacted it, and the other party agreed to sell the treasured "Final Teaching Book", on the condition that it is 300,000 gold yuan! Only cash, no checks, mortgages, ......"

Wu Ming is quite interested in the history of this world.

And through Diya's secret investigation and pursuit, he finally obtained a clue to an ancient book that may have been left by an ancient transcendent.

It's just that this "Final Teaching Book" is too famous, as a mysterious item, and even related to several cult rebellions in history, although it has now become an ordinary collection, but the seller doesn't want to get into trouble.

"Only 300,000?"

Wu Ming smiled slightly, the price is not too high, but too low: "It seems that our trading partner has caused some big trouble......

"As long as it's the real thing, it's okay!"

The wealth he had at his disposal, Neville and Jaime's side, was only a small fraction of what was on the surface.

The real property is still the accumulation of this woman, Diya.

After all, with her hypnotism, as long as she has some means, it is too simple to save money secretly.

"Without further ado, place the deal now! I'll go personally! Once this is done, you can go all out and investigate the ruins in the Red Coral Sea. ”

Wu Ming set the tone.

……

Meanwhile.

In Victoria Harbour, in a warehouse.

"I didn't do it, let me go, let me go!"

A middle-aged man knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "I really don't know where John ran away, I just know that he carried that book with him!" ”

"The lowly maggots dare to covet our riches!"

A handsome man in a black tuxedo, pale-skinned, bow-tie muttered, "Could it be ...... Are we too far silent? Let the world forget its fears about us? ”

"Jie Ji ......"

A dark red glow flickered, and a flamboyant woman in a blood robe walked in, her high heels rubbing against the ground with a sharp sound.

"What era is it now? Joseph, if you still can't get rid of your old ideas that you brought out of your coffin, one day, you will die a miserable death! ”

"Where's Zack?"

The man named Joseph did not answer directly, but asked.

"That idiot has a sick brain, he fought on the battlefield in the colony, and even dared to charge the steam tank, and was almost beaten to scum by the artillery, I stuffed him in a shipping box, it should be delivered in a few days, anyway, his resilience is also a perverted level ......"

The gaudy woman laughed.

"Very well, we are willing to pay any price in order to reclaim the holy relics, and in the event of a war with this city, there must be a suitable meat shield in front!"

Joseph nodded.

It's not for this reason that Zack's reckless guy doesn't know how many times he should have died.

"Is this waste still useful?"

As soon as the gorgeous woman's eyes rolled, she saw the ordinary captive on the ground, and licked her lips: "Why don't you leave it to me!" ”

"Wait!"

No matter how sluggish he was, the captive at this time also knew that the two in front of him were probably no longer part of the sequence of ordinary people, and under the fear of death and the violent fright, his head suddenly became clear, and the speed of operation was greatly accelerated: "I remember!" John said he had made an appointment with a buyer to sell the book, and that he would be honorably retired when he was done......"

"That's not enough!"

The woman stepped forward and picked up the captive's chin with her fingertips: "Let me see it myself......"

The next moment, in this small warehouse, blood splattered!

……

"What's going on?"

On the other side, Wu Ming carried a suitcase and waited silently with Diya on the wasteland of a workshop.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Diya grumbled.

"I have a bad premonition......"

For his whim, Wu Ming still believes very much.

However, this time the degree is far more slight than the previous one, and it is obvious that even if something happens, it is not a big deal.

He waited for another ten minutes, and then his eyes looked at the grass beside him.

"Deya?"

Rustling!

The grass shook and a man walked out.

He looked to be in his thirties and forties, with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept well for days.

"John?"

The fox exclaimed, "How did you become like this?" ”

"It's not because of that damn book!"

John laughed miserably.
