Chapter 372 Everyone Is a "Noble"

three people.

Xia Yanzhen, Baron Bart, and Earl Marvin opposite.

Compared with Baron Bart's fat head and big ears, Earl Marvin looks much more pleasing to the eye.

Neat and exquisite formal attire, slicked back hair, revealing a high hairline, he looked about sixty years old.

At his age, he can still maintain such a hairline, and in a place like Lingtong, he can really show it off.

If men in Lingtong don't wear hats when traveling, then their bare foreheads and crowns will probably replace hats and become Lingtong's characteristic.

"Your Excellency Bart, why don't you introduce this person?" Earl Marvin said.

In fact, he already knew Xia Yan's true "identity" - a kidnapper, a small patrol policeman from Grand Field.

More than an hour has passed since the incident occurred at Bart's house.

There's action all over Grant Field.

It is impossible that Earl Marvin did not get the news.

"Munster Xia, the patrol officer of Grand Field." Xia Yanzhen said, "I'm here for the fourth generation armor."

"Fourth generation armor?"

"That's it." Baron Bart said quickly, "Munster is my distant nephew. He is very interested in steam armor and has always wanted to see the power of the fourth generation armor."

Earl Marvin frowned slightly.

He looked at Bart's face that could make waves, and then at Xia Yan's handsome face.

Distant nephew?

Even if you add "distant house", it's still as lame as a street performer in Midtown.

Of course, Earl Marvin would not expose it. He just looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked, "Why do you want to see the fourth generation armor?"

"curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"It's very powerful." Xia Yanzhen smiled.

"So you came to me?"

"Bart said you are the head of some research institute. With your status, it is quite easy for you to take me to test the fourth generation armor, right?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"This is natural." Earl Marvin said, "But why should I agree to you?"

As soon as he said this, he saw Bart winking at him crazily.

But the pride of being a nobleman still made Earl Marvin raise his head and look at Xia Yanzhen through his nostrils.

"Just treat it as a test?" Xia Yanzhen said.

"We have testers."

"No, I mean, use the fourth generation armor to test me." Xia Yanzhen's smile made Count Marvin feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.

As a biological instinct, I feel some kind of danger.

"Well, Munster, let me and the Earl have a good time -" Baron Bart hurriedly came to smooth things over, wanting to explain the stakes to Marvin.

Xia Yanzhen just looked at him and immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Xia Yanzhen didn't care whether the negotiation could be settled.

If you can't reach an agreement, then try another way to test.

If there was a "riot at Earl's Palace", the armored team from Grant Field would definitely be dispatched, right?

You can also test the combat effectiveness of these four generations of armor.

Earl Marvin glanced at Bart and looked seriously at Xia Yanzhen.

Someone has already put on the third-generation armor collected at home. There are two units in total, just outside the door.

As long as he gives the order, he can rush in, one protects, and the other tears the person into pieces.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the inner uneasiness, Bart’s strange behavior, or both.

Lord Jean Marvin did not give the order.

"Tomorrow, come here tomorrow morning and I will take you there." After a while of silence, Earl Marvin said.

"call--"

Upon hearing this, Bart breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

The remaining sofa springs made a sound, causing Marvin to glance sideways.

Well, luckily it’s not an antique chair.

Otherwise, the seat may be damaged.

Unexpectedly, Bart was also a ruthless person and actually wore blood-patterned armor on his body. It looked like he was a bit old.

Earl Marvin narrowed his eyes and remembered a rumor he had heard.

Bart's former identity didn't seem to be very good.

But looking at his current appearance, he doesn't look like someone who has endured hardship before.

"Then I'll come find you tomorrow." Xia Yanzhen stood up.

"Eight o'clock." Marvin set the time.

Xia Yanzhen waved his hand and opened the door of the living room.

"Oh? So he looks like this."

He looked outside at the two third-generation steam mechanical armors.

It is humanoid, with gray armor covering its whole body. You can see various exposed connections, and it is about two and a half meters tall.

Thick, steady and powerful.

It's a bit like the villain's armor in Iron Man 1.

It's much rougher in every aspect, and you can see traces of rivets and welding, and it's deliberately not polished smooth.

The beast of steel brings a strong sense of oppression.

Standing nearby, you can feel the burning heat radiating from the armor.

It's probably even hotter inside the armor, and the operator with his head exposed may become dehydrated after being in control for a while.

Xia Yanzhen can now see the sweat on the foreheads of the two controllers.

It can be seen that the battery life of this kind of armor is not very good - it is not that it is not good, but that the people are not good.

Xia Yanzhen reached out and knocked on the third-generation armor, making a dull sound.

He reached out and pinched it again, shook his head, looked a little disappointed, and turned to leave.

The controller raised his arm and put it in front of his eyes, and his expression changed drastically.

There are two small dents on the outside of the armored forearm!

The armor is well maintained and has not seen any combat - just some testing.

As the "driver" he was well aware that the armor did not have this dent blemish.

This dent was made randomly by this person just now!

"My Lord Count!"

The driver couldn't help shouting, this matter must be reported!

In the living room, Marvin was asking Bart about Xia Yanzhen and what happened tonight.

Bart had so many things to think about that he didn't even know where to start.

I heard the disbelieving voice of the bodyguard outside.

Marvin stood up and went out, and came back a minute later, looking at Bart with burning eyes: "Who is that Munster Xia!"

His expression was not only surprised and frightened, but also filled with expectation that even he himself was not aware of.

Will the lost power and former glory of the nobles return?

First Jack the Ripper, then Monster Summer.

But why did they attack the nobles?

You made a mistake with the wrong target!

Xia Yanzhen, who was mistakenly thought to be "the former glory of the nobles", has left and disappeared into the night of Linton.

"It's a pity that it's not equipment. Otherwise, even if it's not easy to wear, at least it can be sold."

Xia Yanzhen jumped between buildings while avoiding the identity of his fellow patrol officers.

He was a little disappointed, not because the armor was not hard enough, but because the third generation armor was not equipment.

If it is, even if there are all kinds of inconveniences, it can be taken away and let it play its due value.

The value of such mass-produced and standard things often does not lie in itself, but in "technology".

If it can be successfully reproduced, the value is self-evident.

Xia Yanzhen definitely doesn't have this ability.

If the equipment can be taken out, everything is possible.

Not now, we can only look at the fourth generation armor.

If the fourth-generation armor is true, bringing out a few more units will definitely play a huge role.

The next morning.

At around seven o'clock, Xia Yanzhen was walking on the streets of Shangcheng District, holding a black umbrella with a scepter.

It didn't rain in Linton yesterday.

It rained lightly today without any accident, and the entire Linton was shrouded in drizzle and fog.

You can't see the sky clearly when you look up, and you can't see the ground clearly when you're in the sky.

Cold and damp.

No wonder many people like to wear hats. It rained for three days, was cloudy for three days, and was foggy for one day.

On a day like this, if you walk around outside, your hair will get wet.

It's much better to have a hat.

It's definitely not to cover up your bald spot, that's right, that's it.

Xia Yan was really not wearing a hat.

The Scepter Black Umbrella fully functions as an umbrella and blocks the raindrops.

The Prison of Darkness is impervious to water and fire, so it is also very dry, creating a "barrier" between Xia Yanzhen and Lingtong's dampness.

The streets in the upper city are spacious, but there are only a few pedestrians, and there are more horse-drawn carriages than people.

In such weather, in order to show their kindness and dignity, noble gentlemen would let their servants go out to do errands in cars.

When traveling uptown, nobles rarely walked.

If you see someone walking uptown, there are three possibilities for that person.

One is a servant, the other is a non-uptown resident, and the third is a down-and-out noble who only has the uptown property that is about to be lost.

In fact, there are not many old aristocrats in the upper city who are so desperate that they want to leave.

In order to maintain their glory, these people will get together with the wealthy and get what they need.

It was through this method that the wealthy gradually eroded their way into the aristocratic circle and gradually became members of the rulers.

Most of the pedestrians Xia Yanzhen saw were servants, and some were patrol officers responsible for patrolling.

He wasn't worried about being caught by the patrolman blowing the whistle because of what happened last night.

Baron Bart must have settled things.

If it doesn't settle, then fight.

The patrolmen in groups of two passed by without paying much attention to Xia Yanzhen.

What Jack the Ripper had in common with his crimes, apart from the fact that all the dead were nobles, was that they all died at night.

During the day, it's safe - for now.

Therefore, patrol officers during the day will also be more relaxed.

If you encounter someone walking alone at night, the night patrol will come up and question you.

Soon, Xia Yanzhen arrived at Earl Marvin's residence.

The big iron door was closed, and two umbrellas were held up behind the door.

Two bodyguards were under the umbrella.

They met Xia Yanzhen yesterday and received instructions. When they saw Xia Yanzhen coming, they immediately opened the door and let him go.

Not long after entering the villa, Xia Yanzhen and Earl Marvin left in a carriage.

Earl Marvin was very efficient.

"Are your ancestors nobles?" In the carriage, Earl Marvin and Xia Yanzhen were sitting opposite each other. He asked after a while of silence.

"Why do you ask?"

"Your power is extraordinary." Earl Marvin said with a slightly excited tone, "Has the power accumulated in your blood finally begun to revive?"

"Ha." Xia Yanzhen smiled, "No, all my ancestors are civilians."

"How is it possible?" Earl Marvin categorically denied, "It is impossible for commoners to possess your power! Only nobles have mastered extraordinary power."

"You have made a mistake. Only those who have strength can become a noble." Xia Yanzhen said, "Not aristocrats have strength, and not everyone with strength can become a noble. Even if the struggle fails, the whole family dies. The remaining posthumous children, those who were exiled, and the illegitimate children have flourished. Over thousands of years, why do you think that only the blood of noble surnames like yours contains the so-called accumulated power?

"Only nobles have power?

"Well, I don't object, but everyone is an 'aristocrat'."

Kavin is late, please forgive me.
