Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 159 Secret Residence
At this time, in the mechanical maintenance room of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, Sandpaper and Red Falcon were working overtime to assemble the Abyss Leopard.
"Give me a No. 4 wrench. Hold this lever steady and don't move. If this switch is closed, my hand will be cut off."
Sandpaper was installing the right leg for the Abyss Leopard. The Red Falcon was holding a pressure bar very seriously and asked, "Yesterday you said you left a message for Miss Clear Sky. Why hasn't she come to see us yet? Did she lie to you?"
"Miss Clear Sky is a very kind elf. She is a magic professor at Oulu College and has saved Raging Waves City many times. She also brought you to me. I think Miss Clear Sky must be very busy, busy helping those in need.
We need to be patient. When Miss Qingkong sees the message I left for her, she will definitely come to find us.
Okay... the main body of the machine is assembled, and the next thing is the appearance. Do you think bigger breasts look better, or smaller ones?"
Hong Falcon let go of his hand and looked at the Abyss Leopard on the workbench, which had not yet been assembled. After thinking seriously, he said, "Make it smaller so that it does not affect the balance."
"You underestimate my craftsmanship and the performance of the Abyss Leopard. As long as it's not too big, balance is not a problem. Look at Miss Clear Sky. When you fought her, did she have any balance problems?
I think it looks better if it’s a little bigger.”
"Whatever...but I still find it weird to discuss the gender of an Abyss leopard."
"We are children, and we should do what children should do."
"Whatever."
Qingkong, who was standing aside, did not expect that Sandpaper and Hongkun would discuss her breasts here. This was an area that she usually tried to avoid paying attention to. She always regarded this body as a tool.
Children speak without restraint. Qingkong was afraid that the two little girls would say something outrageous, so he coughed softly: "Ahem... I saw the message you left for me. Is there anything you can do for me?"
When Sandpaper heard Qingkong's voice, she turned around happily, her ponytail flying high: "Ms. Qingkong! Hongkun, I told you that Miss Qingkong will come to us after seeing the message."
Hong Xun gave Qingkong a standard swordsman salute: "Ms. Qingkong, good evening."
"Good evening!"
"Hello, Miss Qingkong..." Sandpaper saluted Qingkong and said, "We are here to ask you about the brain transformation device. Hong Falcon's memory has not been restored. I wonder if Oulu College can help."
Qingkong replied: "Last time we parted, I asked Dean Wilred about the brain transformation device. Unfortunately... Oulu College has not conducted too in-depth research on this topic. After all, it requires very cruel human experiments.
Of course, if Red Falcon is willing to cooperate, Oulu College can organize a team to study ways to safely remove the brain modification device. But this is somewhat dangerous, so you should consider it carefully. "
Hearing about the danger, Sandpaper said to Kestrel: "I think it's good that you can't remember the past... Anyway, you just need to know who I am."
Hong Jian said firmly: "I don't want to be bothered by this matter. I have to choose between believing you and believing my father. I only need to remember a little bit. I want to see the truth clearly.
Miss Qingkong, please help me."
"Ms. Clear Sky..." Sandpaper didn't know what to do.
Clear Sky replied, "I have no say on this topic... Why not let the Oulu mages with relevant expertise take a look at the Red Falcon's situation and then make a decision based on their suggestions. If the danger is too great, the mages won't take the risk."
"Okay, let's let the Oulu mages take a look first... I'll listen to Miss Qingkong."
Hong Jian replied: "I will listen to Miss Qingkong too. Shall we go to Oulu College now?"
"Well... I could go now, but I have to go to a party." Qingkong thought about his schedule and said, "You can go with me. It won't take up too much time. Go wash the oil stains on your hands and face first, and Sandpaper needs to change into a set of fitting clothes. I'll wait for you outside..."
The gathering was held at Mrs. Michelle's home, and was a small event held in the secret house named after Qingkong.
Qingkong was reluctant to attend such a boring party, but due to Mrs. Michelle's repeated requests, she only needed to show up and satisfy the curiosity of the celebrities in Nutao City about the elf Qingkong.
Making Qingkong the city's business card was originally a plan she and Mrs. Michelle made, and it was necessary for him to appear in some public occasions. Luke also didn't want Qingkong to just be a thug, because influence and voice were sometimes more useful than fists.
When Clear Sky drove the steam locomotive carrying Sandpaper and Kestrel to Mrs. Michelle's house, it was already very lively.
The room was full of noble ladies and socialites, and one could see the appeal that Mrs. Michelle had in this class. She was like the women's director of Raging Waves City.
After Michelle learned from the servants that Qingkong had arrived, she immediately came out to greet him. She held Qingkong's arm intimately and also saw the two little girls who came with him.
"Ms. Qingkong, are these two your students?"
Qingkong didn't want to waste time explaining, so he admitted it and said, "They are my students. Sandpaper, Red Falcon, and this is Mrs. Michelle..."
Sandpaper and Kestrel greet Mrs. Michiel .
When Mrs. Michel heard their names and compared their appearances, she immediately knew the identities of the two girls.
Sandpaper is a mechanical modification engineer who is as famous as the mechanical clan leader Weimeng in Diagon Street. Michelle's mechanical laboratory often receives orders from Sandpaper's mechanical modification shop. Now she has been recruited by the Meteorite Detective of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
Hong Xun... She was the adopted daughter of Yomington, the chief of staff of the cabinet. But just as Yomington arrived in Nutao City, Hong Xun disappeared.
If we consider the last commission from Inspector Meteorite, it is not difficult to conclude that Red Falcon was kidnapped by Clear Sky.
It's just that the Kestrel doesn't look like it's being restrained.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things, it is time for tonight’s protagonist to appear.
"Two lovely children, you can play here as you like." Mrs. Michelle pulled Qingkong inside and said, "Come on, beautiful elf! You are the brightest star here today. No one can take away your glory, and they can't even feel jealous.
You really are...perfect!"
"Thank you... I'm not very good at dealing with situations like this."
"Keep smiling, you don't need to deal with anyone. We just walk through the hall and let these women see you. Then we go to the small hall on the second floor. The important people are there, including reporters from the newspaper."
Qingkong asked doubtfully, "Did you invite a reporter?"
At this time, the two walked into the hall, and just as Michelle said, Qingkong immediately became the focus of the whole place. Everyone looked over, they were amazed at Qingkong's appearance, and automatically stepped back to make way.
The class distinction between women is more distinct than that between men. Although the women in the hall are also considered upper-class ladies, they belong to the lowest class here. Being able to receive a smile from a lady of this level like Mrs. Michel is the biggest gain for them to attend this party.
Mrs. Michel walked forward holding Qingkong's arm and whispered, "Do you remember the speech that Councillor Ibel gave at 102 Organ Street? He said: You and I have shown people the release of women's abilities. He believes that in the new era, women should no longer be vassals of men. We should participate more in the construction and decision-making of this city.
This may be just his casual remark, but he did not expect that this speech would cause a sensation among the ladies in Raging Wave City. Many ladies of status told me that they had suffered unfair treatment and hoped to be treated equally with men.
In Raging Waves City, the proportion of women receiving education is very high, and many of them have decent jobs. This is a group that has always been neglected. Instead of fighting for the cake that has been divided up, we should use our advantages to grab this group in our hands. "
Qingkong couldn't help but admire Mrs. Michelle's ability to control luck again. She thought of "Women hold up half the sky" so quickly!
This is a blue ocean that has not been deeply cultivated. It has not been developed before. What is lacking is the awakening of women in the old rule system. The prosperous and inclusive Raging Waves City has given the female group in the city a very high education rate and economic autonomy. The siege of the Abyss Temple has attracted great attention to Councillor Ibul's speech; the participation of Qingkong and Mrs. Michelle has aroused psychological resonance among the women in Raging Waves City.
The combination of the two has led women who are used to receiving unfair treatment to start thinking about breaking the old rules and fighting for their rights.
The Qingkong Secret House, jointly established by Qingkong and Mrs. Michelle, has become a very good platform.
Qingkong understood the real reason why Mrs. Michelle asked him to attend this party. A high-end military force with super popularity is the ballast of Mishe's politicization.
"We should treat Councillor Ibel to a meal."
Mrs. Michel, who was walking up the stairs, was amused by Qingkong's humor: "Yes, we should invite him to dinner. Thank you, Councillor Ibrahim, thank you for this era... I see the beginning of a magnificent and brilliant era, and we will be the writers of the new era."
Qingkong followed Mrs. Michelle to the small hall on the second floor. There were few people inside, most of them were the top ladies and celebrities in Nutao City, and there were also three female reporters from the newspaper who were invited.
After Mrs. Michelle introduced everyone, she took Qingkong and sat in two seats side by side in the main seat.
The expressions of the women sitting there were no longer the playful ones they had at previous gatherings; instead, each of them had a sense of mission.
Mrs. Michelle opened the conversation by saying, "Ladies, it's time to get rid of our reputation as vases and let the masters of Raging Waves City hear our voices..."
At this time, the messenger carrying the letter from Yomington boarded the transport airship flying to the imperial capital, Saint Lun City. The new nobles would soon readjust their strategies in Nutao City and even in the palace.
Viscount Isklan also boarded the private airship that was about to take off and return to Raging Waves City. Sitting opposite him was Princess Agatha.
"Your Highness, are you going to Raging Waves City with me?" Viscount Iscolan asked Agatha, who was sitting there silently on the airship .
"I'm still thinking about it..." Agatha looked out of the window at the airship. The Imperial agents were heavily protecting the small airship in the middle. "You're not in a hurry to go back, are you?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, you can think about it slowly. In fact... With Inspector Meteorite in Raging Waves City, you can rest assured..."
It is precisely because Inspector Meteorite is in Raging Waves City that I feel uneasy.
Through Isklan's description of the meteorite, Agatha was 80% sure that this "meteorite" was not the one she sent to the Cape area.
I just don't know how this fake detective successfully impersonated the real detective?
Only he and the real Meteorite knew about this appointment. It was impossible for a third party to accurately intercept Meteorite and impersonate him. If the other party used a forged appointment letter...are all the people in the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau idiots?
Agatha couldn't understand.
She also couldn't figure out what the purpose of this "fake" inspector was in making such a fuss in Raging Waves City .
But the only thing that is certain is... he deceived everyone, no one doubted his identity, and he has gathered a very large force. With him as the core, Lady Michelle, Councillor Ibel, and Viscount Iscolan formed a group in Raging Waves City that was strong enough to challenge the old system.
This was a major breakthrough for the Empire, which had always been troubled by the issue of Raging Waves. Even His Majesty, who was very cautious about the issue of Raging Waves, could not help but praise Inspector Meteorite for his work in Raging Waves. Agatha was also praised for this and received many rewards.
Viscount Iscolan's audience with the emperor made His Majesty determined to rectify the city of Raging Waves and bring this huge economy under control. However, in order to achieve the goal without destroying the stability and international status of the city of Raging Waves, it is necessary to start from within the city of Raging Waves itself. Inspector "Meteor", who has already established a foothold in the city of Raging Waves and formed a team, has become the controller of this "offensive".
But Agatha couldn't say: This meteorite doesn't belong to me!
Once Meteorite's identity is exposed, not only will the situation in Nutao City be in danger of collapse, but the eldest princess will also not be able to withstand the wrath of the emperor of the empire.
So when Agatha was seeing Viscount Iscolan off, she somehow boarded the boat and sat down. She wanted to go to the Cape area to confirm Meteorite's identity and his purpose, but she was afraid that if the two sides met face to face, she would not be able to end it.
Agatha was in a state of confusion as she thought about the consequences of her choice... This was a difficult problem that the eldest princess, who was always known for her decisiveness, had never encountered before.
I don't even dare to meet a fake detective!
After waiting for nearly two hours, Viscount Iscolan finally couldn't help but ask Agatha again: "Your Highness, Princess, are you going to Raging Waves City or not?"
"Oh..." Agatha came back to her senses from her thoughts: "I'm sorry, the importance of Raging Waves City made me too focused. I don't know if Inspector Meteorite can cope with the future changes. I have very high expectations for him!"
