  Chapter 359 Ice Cave

  Winter spent the Winter Hunting Festival in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. The failure of the abandoned factory forced Ice Cave to reassess the strength of Clear Sky. Luke and Del did not encounter any trouble after playing for a whole day.

  However, on the second day after the Winter Hunting Festival, the Yate County United immediately announced a general conscription order, requiring all male citizens of the right age to register at the recruitment office opened and be ready to accept conscripts to join the army at any time.

  The sense of tension dissipated the joy after the festival, and the cloud of war hung over this ice and snow city.

  Luke, as usual, received a one-day maintenance mission from Mrs. Yolanda, and then led the Norton team into the ground.

Good old Norton was in a very bad mood today, and he couldn't stop complaining in the rail car: "Didn't you say that everything went well on the front line? He also surrounded the Queen of the Golden Shield Empire in Snow City. Within a short period of time, the coalition forces of the county will be able to break through the defense line of the northern border of the empire, and then they can march towards the city of Shenglun.

  Yesterday was the Winter Hunting Festival, and today the conscription is not a smooth war. "

  Luke was sitting in the rail car reading today's Winter Capital newspaper, and it really was full of good news. The army of the County League was advancing triumphantly, sweeping away the decaying imperial army.

  However, Luke can obtain real information on the northern battlefield through the Imperial Secret Service's station in Winter Capital.

   After all, the northern border defense line has been operated by the empire for many years. Although the troops are insufficient, the morale of the imperial northern border army is very high because the queen visited Snow City in person. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely around Snow City. The imperial army occupied the strong city and fought more with less, so that the army of the county alliance continued to attack for more than ten days without any progress.

   At the beginning of the invasion of the northern border, the Golden Shield Empire began a nationwide mobilization. The first batch of 600,000 conscripted soldiers are receiving weapons for training and reorganization.

  The nobles in the whole territory have received war orders, requiring them to fulfill the promise of their ancestors and recruit soldiers from their own territories to form a noble army. They must have the ability to go to the north to fight before the end of winter.

   On the southern front of the empire, General Joshuaer launched the winter offensive, using offense as defense to prevent the Duke of Celtic from taking advantage of the Northern War.

  If the Duke of Celtic knew the normal timeline at this time, I don’t know how he would feel.

  Originally, he should have responded in one voice, leading the noble army to tear up the twilight empire, but Luke appeared at the beginning of the timeline.

  The imperial civil war broke out ahead of time, and the surviving Emperor Augustine had a very strong deterrent effect on the nobles of the empire. Luke made a trip to the West, and asked all the nobles of the West to present a letter of loyalty to Emperor Augustine.

  The Temple of the Abyss, which the Celtic Duke relied heavily on, also suffered heavy losses under the repeated blows of the clear sky. He now only has a barbarian army, and the external assistance he has received has become less and less after the Raging City fleet wiped out the Leo Navy.

   Now that the Tedgar Hills are stable, the Empire will have more energy and resources to focus on the Northern War.

  I want to come to Yate County United to see this too.

   Expanding the army is to prepare for the protracted war after winter.

  Luke looked at the contents of the newspaper, compared the information he had obtained, and did not respond to Norton's complaints.

  Rebecca asked: "Captain, have you received a call-up order? We are the company's security guards, do we also want to go to the battlefield?"

   Snowman Amao roared at this moment.

  Norton said: "I am on the recruitment list. I have to go to the barracks for training after get off work every day. I may be the next batch of recruits. Amao is the same as me...

   I really don't know what the big shots above think.

   Overthrow the royal family of the Golden Shield Empire and make it a free world. What does it have to do with us if the people there are not free? Why do we have to work hard? "

  At this time, the thief Harry said in a low voice: "I have received the recruitment order, and I will report to the barracks tonight. This is my last day to work with you."

  Harry's words made the already heavy atmosphere of the track car even more heavy.

  Thieves often act as vanguards in the army. Facing all kinds of weird magic traps, the death rate of vanguards is very high.

   When the rail car stopped, no one said anything to comfort Harry.

  Luke folded the unread newspapers and put them in his briefcase, then said, "If you don't want to apply, I can arrange for you to leave here."

  Norton immediately asked: "How to leave? Where to go?"

   "This is a private channel, and I guarantee it is very safe. As for where to go...leave Yate County United, you can go wherever you want."

  Harry said: "I want to go to Raging City."

"Can."

   "Can I bring my family?"

"Can."

"How much is it?"

  Luke laughed: "I help you because I regard you as my friends, so keep your money and get used to your new life."

   "Thank you, Mr. Luke. If I die, my father will die too."

  Harry stood up and saluted Luke.

   Luke asked Norton: "Are you going? Or are you staying?"

   "I..." Norton hesitated, and said, "I'm leaving! I have nothing to miss here."

   "Then come with me! Harry is going to report to the barracks tonight. We will arrange things as soon as possible so that you can leave tonight."

  Norton asked worriedly: "If Harry and I disappear at the same time, will it definitely cause trouble for you?"

"Trouble is just trouble, and the worst case is being fired by Harut Heavy Industries. I'm a steam engineer, and it's easy to find a job in winter." Luke stepped out of the rail car, and then asked Rebecca, "Can you leave?" Go? I can arrange for you and your family to go to Rage City."

  Rebecca said: "I will stay and protect you."

   "Whenever you want to leave, I can arrange it at any time. Norton, go find a car, and let's go to the Biker Bar."

  Luke took the Norton team to find Chi Yan's younger brothers, and asked them to arrange for Norton, Harry and their families to leave Winter Capital.

   Demon Chi Yan has a smuggling channel through hell, and usually also accepts smuggling business. Now that the investment of 600,000 gold coupons is about to be implemented, and the two parties are in the honeymoon period, it is not a piece of cake for Chi Yan to send a few people to Raging Waves City.

  After everything was arranged, Luke asked Norton and Harry to go home and prepare, and he took Rebecca to finish the day's work.

  When I got home at night, I was surrounded by a group of people wearing trench coats and felt hats as soon as I entered the door.

   "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

  Luke asked calmly, looking for Mina.

   She's not here.

"We are agents of the Ice Cave. I have a few questions for you to answer, Mr. Luke..." A gloomy-looking young man sat on the sofa in the living room and stared at Luke after he entered the door: "Sit down first Come on, just a few simple questions, don't be too nervous."

  Hearing that the other party was an Ice Cave Agent, Luke first guessed whether his identity had been exposed.

  But if it is exposed, it is definitely not this kind of person.

   Then listen to what they want to do.

  Luke took off his coat and hung it on the hanger with his briefcase, took off his hat and put it on the hat rack, and then sat down opposite the young man.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Russell Enoch, and I am the senior commander of the ice cave." Enoch pointed to the clothes and bags that Luke had just hung up: "Can I ask my people to search ?”

   "Yes..." Luke said casually: "But please search and return it to its original place. There are a lot of materials about Harut Heavy Industry in it. If you lose it, you will be responsible."

"Of course! You are the steam engineer of Harut Heavy Industry, and you are already enjoying the respect we give you." Enoch waved his hand and asked his men to search the clothes and briefcases on the hangers, and then said: "Now you can answer my question. Question?"

   "Ask, as long as it doesn't involve company secrets, I can cooperate."

   "Let's start now... Is Mina the maid you hired after you arrived in Winter Capital?"

   "Yes." Hearing Mina, Luke guessed something: "At this time, she should be at home and have prepared dinner for me. She's not here, did something happen to her?"

   "I won't answer your question." Enoch kept his eyes on Luke, trying to determine whether the other party was lying: "Second question, why did you hire her."

"When I first arrived at Dongdu Railway Station, she tried to steal my suitcase, and then I learned that her family was in a difficult situation. Her father injured his leg and the family had no income. I thought she was pitiful, so I hired her As a maid, take care of my daily life while working in Winter Capital.

   This sheriff can testify against me. "

  Luke took out a business card from the drawer of the light cabinet at hand, the one given to him by the sheriff of the station.

  Enoch took the business card, looked at it carefully, and then put it away.

   "You are a kind gentleman. Did you fix the faulty steam pipe in the B36 mine?"

   "Yes. Mr. Kun Deen, the supervisor of the B36 mine, gave me a sum of money to repair the pipeline. Although this is against the company's regulations, it should not be under the management of your ice cave."

  Enoch smiled: "Of course this is out of our control. Do you know Mina's father?"

"do not know."

   "Then do you know Mr. Bai Ye?"

  Finally getting to the point, Luke replied: "I don't know. But when I was overhauling the steam line in the underground steam city, I often heard this name. He seems to be very famous in the underground mining area!"

   "A little man trying to challenge the order of Winter Capital, we will catch him."

   At this time, the Ice Cave Agents had finished searching, and there was nothing suspicious.

  Luke raised his hand: "Do you need to search me?"

  Enoch wanted to do a body search, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The steam engineer Luke's itinerary in the underground steam city is very clear. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the mine incident, and the only connection is Mina's employer.

   Now that the production tasks are heavy, all companies treat steam engineers like treasures, and try not to offend them if they can.

  Besides, if there is a real problem, sensitive things will not be brought home, let alone carried on the body.

   "No, I believe in you, Mr. Luke. You are not the same kind of people as the people who made trouble underground. Yesterday was the Winter Hunting Festival. Sir, you should be celebrating our festival for the first time. Did you have a good time?"

   "It's interesting."

   "Your homeowner said that you and Mina went out for the holidays yesterday, may I know where you all went and what you did?"

   Luke murmured inwardly that it was not good, if Princess Dai was involved again, the matter would get even worse.

   “My itinerary was all arranged by Mina. We first went to see the float parade, and then rented a sleigh to go to the glacier outside the city. Fishing, grilling fish…

  In the afternoon we went to the underground steam city, watched the locomotive race, and ate a lot of delicious food. "

   "Is it just the two of you?"

  How to answer?

  Luke wondered if Mina was caught by the agents of the ice cave, and if she was caught, what did she say?

   Just to be on the safe side, Luke replied: "No, there is a friend who spent the winter hunting festival with us."

"who is it?"

   "That lady is very honorable! You asked me so many questions, and you didn't allow me to know the inside story. I won't reveal her identity and cause unnecessary trouble for her."

  Seeing that Luke was concealing it intentionally, Enoch felt that he had caught something, and immediately forced me to say: "Mr. Luke, you'd better know one thing, the incident that can send our ice cave to investigate is definitely not an ordinary incident.

   If you have no questions, please answer my questions accurately, otherwise, I can only ask you to take a walk with us.

  The iced coffee in the ice cave is not so delicious! "

  Luke took out the magic wand from his cuff and put it on the table: "This is a Winter Hunting Day gift from that lady, and she made it herself.

   You look carefully, think about it, and then decide whether you want to know her identity. "

  When Luke took out his magic wand, all Ice Cave Agents were on alert immediately. After Luke put the magic wand on the table, Enoch slowly stretched out his hand. First release the detection magic to check whether the magic wand has been placed on the trap, and then slowly pick it up after confirming that there is no danger.

   And when Enoch carefully observed the magic wand in his hand, his eyes could not help showing a look of regret.

Pity! Pity!

  So many rare and precious materials are actually made into magic wands in such a flashy way, it is simply a waste of money.

  Magic wands are spell-casting props. The first thing that should be considered is practicality, and the maximum effectiveness of the material should be brought out. The beauty is only a later embellishment under the premise of ensuring the function.

   But this magic wand is completely upside down.

  For the sake of beauty, the magic wand is full of hollow carvings. Although it is very beautiful when casting spells, if so many materials are not removed, more magic arrays can be placed inside the magic wand, so that the effect of the magic wand can be improved to a higher level.

  It's just...

  Enoch tried his best to control his emotions. He might not be able to get such rare materials with the money he earned all his life, but he was so ruined by a girl.

  And what kind of family background would such a willful girl have?

  A girl from such a family made such a beautiful magic wand and gave it to the gentleman in front of her, and even accompanied him on the winter hunting festival. What is their relationship?

   No wonder he knew he was an agent of the Ice Cave, and he was still so calm. It turned out that he had a big backer.

  Enoch was a little thankful that he didn't offend Luke from the beginning. If he annoyed that girl, he might not be as simple as drinking iced coffee.

   "It is my honor to see such a precious magic wand. Please keep it safe, Mr. Luke!"

  Enoch returned the magic wand with both hands.

  Luke took the magic wand and put it in his cuff, and asked, "Can I ask questions now?"

   "Of course, Mr. Luke!" Enoch said respectfully.
