Chapter 55: Advent 6

You yourself are not crowned king, people are disappointed, and they feel that you have no idea of winning the world, who will support you?

This is what God does not take, but suffers from it.

"Actually, even if you are the emperor now, but everything is in accordance with the procedure, first claim the king for a few months, and then you can be the emperor next year. Wang Zhenling said with a smile.

"I, the Emperor?"

Wang Cheng really hadn't thought about this, and his blood was boiling for a while, and he was panicked!

"...... by my ability"

"Of course, there is, but before that, you have to solve one more thing!"

Wang Zhenling knew that Wang Cheng was just not used to it for a while, and it would be good after a long time, so he changed the topic lightly at this time.

"What?"

"Take Hudu!"

"What! What will those foreigners do?"

Hudu was originally just an ordinary seaport, but since it was occupied by foreigners, it has become the most prosperous place in the world after the establishment of a concession and decades of operation.

If Sanyu can occupy fifty percent of the world's wealth, then just one city in Shanghai can occupy two percent of the world's wealth.

Of course, this world just refers to Shenzhou Middle Earth!

It is also the most important place for foreign people, and once you enter this place, it is easy to have friction with foreign people, and if you don't do it well, it will ruin big things.

The more you use musket weapons, the more you know how powerful those foreigners are.

I can't make these things myself, so I have to buy them from foreigners.

Once they anger the foreigners, they don't say that they raise troops to attack, but simply say that they embargo weapons on their side.

And selling weapons to the Jingren court, this can't stand it!

Wang Zhenling smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry about them, now they are too busy to take care of themselves, and the disaster of the divine corpse has broken out." At this time, it is already the mud bodhisattva crossing the river......"

......

Landes, the capital of the Alfred Kingdom, is getting gloomy and foggy.

It seems that there will be huge ghosts at any time, wandering in this uneven black cloud.

When the old world collapsed, only a few people fled to the new world, relying on the original colonies to rebuild civilization.

The old world was a complete Shinto civilization, but after the establishment of the new world, with the distortion of Shinto laws, it became dangerous, and only the laws of matter remained.

It is precisely because of this that the reconstructed civilization of the new world is a scientific and technological civilization based on material.

With the exception of a small number of mages, almost all of them no longer possess supernatural powers.

And the New World, because of the reconstruction, eventually became several countries.

The most powerful of these are the kingdoms of Alfred and the kingdoms of Reivasseur.

In particular, although the kingdom of Levasseur is called a kingdom, it is better to call it a federation, which is formed by the alliance of several countries, and the power is dispersed, and the power of the wheel is far inferior to that of the kingdom of Alfred.

As a result, the Kingdom of Alfred is also the most powerful country in the world.

And Landes, of course, is the most glorious and great city in the world today.

However, the city has fallen silent these days, and there are few pedestrians on all the streets and highways.

Except for the wind-blown newspapers and the littering of waste on the streets, there is hardly anything alive.

Only occasionally would a troop of troops, armed to the teeth, patrol by.

This is since more than ten days ago, after a huge meteor shower, a large number of strange things have happened all over the world, and countries around the world have fallen into a panic.

Even here in Landes, there are several large weirdness.

It has also turned many of the news that were only circulated on the grapevine into a well-known reality.

Fortunately, it was a powerful country like the Alfred Kingdom that immediately dispatched troops to maintain law and order, and sent mages to deal with strange events, which barely managed to maintain the situation.

However, it inevitably made the city completely depressed!

Howard tightened the collar of his trench coat and walked briskly to his accommodations.

He is also reluctant to go out on such a day if possible.

It's a pity that he didn't have a choice, as a well-known detective of Landes, it was inevitable that he would be called over by the police to help when Landes's police force was insufficient at this time.

Detectives walk the line between legal and illegal, and if they can't build a good relationship with the police, they can't move an inch.

He had just gone with the police to check on a suicide case......

A woman who can't stand the pressure and sleepwalks at night kills her husband and daughter, and then goes back to bed.

The next morning, I found myself lying on a bloodstained bed, terrified, and thought that someone had broken into the house and killed someone, so I quickly called the police.

After the police came, the woman who knew the truth jumped from the upstairs without saying a word.

A family of three, all dead.

It's miserable!

However, for Landers recently, such things are not unusual at all, and have happened many times.

Now the police are not allowed to carry guns when they go out...... Not long ago, some policemen had a psychological breakdown, shot and killed several people indiscriminately, and then committed suicide.

"When will this day end!" Howard sighed inwardly, his pace quickening a little.

At this time, a scrap newspaper was blown by the wind and fell to his feet.

Just a casual glance, I noticed that there seemed to be blood on the newspaper.

Out of professional habit, Howard inevitably took a closer look.

I saw someone draw a strange symbol in the newspaper with blood, some of which looked like eyes.

He was suddenly shocked: "This is blood, there is nothing wrong with it." Could it be that there is another case around us? Otherwise, how could there be blood stains on this newspaper?"

With this in mind, he looked around and observed where the newspaper might have come from.

Then he saw a bridge hole!

Howard subconsciously wanted to go over and take a look, but before he could get closer, he saw that the bridge cave was pitch black, like a dark cave, revealing an ominous meaning, as if as long as he walked in, he would be swallowed.

This made Howard shiver with excitement, and he could hardly help but turn around and leave......

But as a detective, he was already bold, so he walked in directly.

It was too dark for his eyes to see clearly for a few seconds.

However, when he saw it clearly, he was shocked and almost sat on the ground.

But a strange face is almost on his face!

Fortunately, it was clear that it was a homeless man with a cut on his face, the blood on his body had dried up, and he stood stiffly, as if he was just trying to be scared.

In the bridge and cave, strange patterns are painted with blood everywhere, and all the patterns have a strange smell.
