Terra Martial God and Merit System

"I've arrived at the city of my dreams—"

"So beautiful, Kamsiko!"

After a long journey, Shana's engineering team finally arrived in Kamsco.

Although they only saw the outline, everyone was very excited.

"Oh, that's not what we did before..." The happy Anmer was stunned and pointed to the distance.

Shana looked up and saw the familiar double-headed eagle flag.

But compared with the previous one, the current flag looked a little limp. The convoy was moving very fast, as if it was fleeing from something.

They passed by Shana's engineering team, and unexpectedly, they did not stop, and no one came down to threaten them.

Shana thought of that arrogant guy. Where is he now?

"Didn't they say they were going to change Kamsiko? Why are they all running away now?"

"Look, there is a coffin in the convoy..."

“Hahaha! These people’s faces look like their mothers have died…”

The discussion spread among the convoy. It turned out that happiness comes from the suffering of others.

"It seems that this city is indeed very different..." Mudstone said softly.

"Let's go in..." Shana felt her heartbeat quicken and she became slightly excited.

She had a hunch...that her dream might come true in this city.

So, amidst laughter and joy, the Shana Engineering Team arrived in Kamsco.

Chapter 104 Steam Knight

"Are you the engineering team hired by the city lord?" Tallulah looked at the three people in front of her.

"It's like this... It's a letter."

Tallulah took a quick look and nodded slightly after confirming that the handwriting was indeed Luo Chen's.

"Ms. Shana, please go and discuss the contract with Minister Lin. We have a lot of projects here."

"Ms. Anmer... You are an outstanding graduate of Columbia. We are currently short of people in some municipal construction departments... Are you interested..."

"Huh?" Anmer took a step back uneasily. "Um... did you know that I'm infected?"

"I know, it's just a mild infection." Tallulah said easily. "There are many infected officers in our department. You don't have to worry about this."

After Luo Chen rescued the slaves who were captured by human traffickers, he found that there were not only poor people from the lower class, but also many intellectuals.

Most of these people were sent here because they provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked. They were framed and then sent to the north to mine.

If everything goes well, these people will soon 'disappear' and quietly become one of the corpses in the mine.

The way many people were framed was very similar - they became infected for no apparent reason.

Although it sounds like there are infected people everywhere in Terra, in fact, the spread of Originopathy is not common. It is even similar to AIDS in the previous life, except that it is transmitted through the air, and in a high concentration of Originium environment. Generally speaking, normal people will not suddenly get Originopathy. So it can only be a frame-up.

These people had already lost all hope, because becoming infected meant they had no place to stand in Ursus. They could only wait to die.

In the end, Luo Chen saved them. He didn't care about their identities as infected people at all, and even made them officials.

These people have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and some of them even worked in the Ursus government before. They are very experienced.

After experiencing being enslaved and resold, these people's mentality completely changed, and they agreed with Luo Chen's "kill, kill, kill" theory. Some even became Luo Chen's fanatical followers.

After they took office, the slow operation of Kamsko's government affairs was finally alleviated, except for some minor complaints about the "infected".

However, these voices disappeared without a trace after Luo Chen spoke.

For Luo Chen, it doesn’t matter if the other party is infected or not, as long as it doesn’t reach the point of sudden explosion, he will use it.

No matter what, merit comes first.

Of course, this incident also made Luo Chen realize that Kamsko's medical system is too fragile. Most of the infected people are not in good health.

I have to find a way...

..........

Back to the present. Tallulah's words shocked the three people in front of her.

You know, even the most lenient countries towards infected people will deport them after discovering them.

What's more, this is not the country of Sakota, but Ursus.

The country that discriminates against and kills the most infected people.

People infected with the virus are allowed to be officials here? Are you kidding me?

"There are many things in Kamsko that deserve your attention," Tallulah said calmly, "You must get used to it quickly."

"Well... As for you, Ms. Mudstone. What are you good at?"

"My Originium skills allow me to manipulate soil." A dull voice came from under the mask.

"Then you can follow Shana's team to do the construction first..."

"Oh, by the way, Ms. Shana, your construction team has quite a few people, right? I need you to compile a complete personnel roster, and then go to the first floor to find an old man named Afke."

"What is this for?" Shana couldn't help but ask.

"Let me confirm your insurance situation... The specific situation needs to be carefully evaluated. However, we will pay for your accidental injury insurance and infection insurance during the project."

"Really?" Shana's words were a little distorted, "Give it all over?"

"Give it all." Tallulah nodded. "We entrusted you with this, and this is what we should do. Although the city lord is not here now, if he were here, he would definitely do this."

".....Thank you so much." Shana didn't know what to say for a moment. She just felt... a bit mixed.

Before coming here, Shana investigated the situation in Ursus and found that the laws in RIM Billiton were more complete in terms of mining and construction.

Of course, this improvement does not mean that everything is good.

During compensation negotiations, lawyers from large companies are often able to use their eloquence to snatch away all the compensation from the victims' families.

Shana's father... was the one who suffered a loss in the compensation negotiations because the engineering team took in a lot of infected people. He didn't want to see the families of the victims having trouble making ends meet, so he used his own savings to make up the compensation... The engineering team was forced to disband due to losses soon after.

Shana regretted not coming here earlier.

but......

"We are very curious about the city lord who invited us here." Mudstone said, "Where is he?"

"I don't know." Tallulah said, "Maybe he'll appear in the next second... Who knows?"

"Perhaps the city lord will suddenly appear while you are working and offer you a cup of hot tea - it's all possible."

"In Kamsko, no matter what happens, as long as the city lord is involved, there is no need to be surprised."

............

Where is Luo Chen?

Luo Chen is working with workers in a small workshop in Kamsco.

The steel gradually deformed in the flames in his hands and was kneaded into the shape Luo Chen wanted.

Finally, the workers painted and polished the creation in front of them.

When the last step was completed, everyone couldn't help but look up at the tall being in front of them.

This set of steel armor is shining, as if illuminating the entire space with its cold brilliance. The surface is inlaid with exquisite patterns and designs. Although it has been aged, it still retains its original power and beauty.

If any Victorian came here, they would be amazed by what was before them.

Luo Chen looked at it carefully.

This steam armor, which is reproduced based on one's own memory, is about 80% similar.

Of course, this is all just window dressing.

There is only the surface layer, without any giant siege cones, laser sabers, or the huge cannon at the back... nothing at all.

The interior is also empty, without any engine core.

But this is enough. At least it is enough for Luo Chen's next move.

That's right, Luo Chen wants to kill all the evil people in the investigation team. And he uses the Steam Knight vest to kill them. This is part of his plan.

As for what this will lead to...Luo Chen is quite curious.

Will Ursus and Victoria fight?

Chapter 105 Speculations

Luo Chen climbed into the steam armor.

Since there is no engine, the weight of this armor is borne entirely by Luo Chen. But when the skill is activated, Luo Chen can fully accept it.

After all, it's just a shell.

In addition to the steel shell, there are tiny tubes in the gaps, which are full of water.

During the battle, you can use a small device to turn it on. Then Luo Chen will heat it up to create the appearance of steam.

Luo Chen was very satisfied with this. He said goodbye to the workers and walked out of the workshop.

After shrinking the armor and taking it with him, Luo Chen quickly left the city and found the location of the investigation team's convoy.

........

The investigation team's convoy drove out of Kamsko's area, and then, at the request of many noble members, drove for another three hours before setting up camp to rest.

Around a campfire, two members of the investigation team and members of the Imperial Parliament were chatting.

The content is naturally what happened in Kamsko not long ago.

After all, even for those well-informed people like them, they felt that this journey was really full of "show effects".

Now that they are free from fear, they can finally talk about this boldly.

"This is so unusual... How could the presiding judge die suddenly? I really can't understand it."

"I feel that the death of the Chief Judge has a lot to do with that city lord..."

"But this doesn't make sense. How can you kill someone by talking to them?"

"Hush... maybe the guards at the scene have some connection with the city lord... I feel like all of this might be a trap set by His Majesty—"

"Look, the presiding judge's position is vacant, Luo Chen, a staunch royalist, escaped unscathed, and that court secretary became our boss..."

"Just tell me if this is a coincidence or not!"

"I can guess it. When we return to Saint Steed Castle, the nobles, big and small, will fight to the death for the position of Chief Judge."

"Your Majesty is most eager to see such a scene."

"If you put it that way, I don't think he's done enough."

"what?"

"Is that how you got your seat as a senator?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden..."

"You speak first."

"Well, I made arrangements with my family, married my sister to a duke, and then gave gifts... I finally earned this seat as a senator."

"You see, it's not easy to get a seat as a member of parliament. How many members are there in the Imperial Parliament of Ursus? I remember there were only 178."

"In order to meet the presiding judge's requirements for judging the Count, we are here... about ten councillors."

"If the death of the Chief Judge will cause chaos, then our death will probably also cause a lot of chaos, right?"

"Eh? What you said makes sense. It's true."

"Haha...If I were Count Luo Chen, I would place an ambush on the road our investigation team must take and kill us all. That would be the ultimate way!"

"Don't scare me..." The noble looked around and relaxed a lot after seeing the tall warlock and shield guard. "That's unlikely. Our defense is strong enough, and ordinary troops can't hurt us."
