Green Tree Castle

Green Tree Castle City.

The city is named after the castle of the Earl of Oak, who, according to legend Old Continent, built a castle that was exquisitely beautiful and magnificent, captivating many noble ladies and young women.

In the colonial circles of that time, being invited to a castle banquet was considered a very prestigious thing.

Gradually, a market emerged centered around the Earl's castle.

Furthermore, after the Federation was established, it was upgraded to a city and named Green Tree Castle City!

But now, the most famous place in the city is not Green Tree Castle, but Green Tree Castle Laboratory!

This behemoth is closely connected to the Federation and has intricate ties with the military, undertaking many important research tasks.

Beneath this laboratory are numerous research institutes and R&D centers.

The person who passed the previous assessment in Sulu was just one of them.

"Finally... we've arrived!"

TRAIN STATION.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Sulu came downstairs carrying a suitcase and stretched contentedly.

Since that night when his subconscious warned him, he didn't linger and left Nia City directly.

Although this warning may have been flawed— the Archbishop Goddess of Light in Nia City had not fallen—he remained highly vigilant.

"Sir, where are you going?"

Stepping out of the train station, Sulu, carrying his luggage, hailed a horse-drawn carriage, and the driver respectfully inquired about its contents.

"Green Tree Castle Laboratory - Institute of Electrical Research. This is the address..."

Sulu finished speaking when he noticed the carriage start moving, clearly indicating that the coachman knew where the Institute of Electrical Research was.

Watching the scenery on both sides of the street disappear quickly, Sulu closed his eyes to rest.

Although the Federation was still promoting steam power at this time, electricity had already become a highly advanced field of research.

This was also the stepping stone he used earlier, explaining some basic knowledge of electric current and his future development plans.

Even when passively affected, [Basic Physics LV4] is no joke.

After all, he was an engineering student in his previous life, worked in a related field, and spent four years painstakingly researching and integrating his knowledge with the rules of this world, which allowed him to passively advance to LV4.

According to Sulu's observation, any skill or passive ability generally has three levels as a major stage, and by the fourth level, there is more or less a qualitative change.

In other words, while he may not be considered a top expert in physics worldwide, he is at least at the level of a specialist.

No wonder this lab wants him.

'As for the issue of supernatural abilities... compared to physical attackers, spellcasters are better at concealing themselves. I don't have any particularly prohibited items on me, and if I did, I would have dealt with them long ago.'

As for my background, that can't be changed; I can only let them investigate... For now, things seem pretty good.

Sulu considered the possibility that he might have been exposed.

Suddenly, he shook his head and chuckled, "What do you mean by 'being exposed'? I didn't intentionally hide anything..."

Regarding his extraordinary profession, not only was he not one before, but even if he was, the other party never asked.

"Relax, think of yourself as an ordinary student graduating and looking for a job..."

Upon further reflection, I found no flaws.

The truly crucial items, such as the pages of the Black Demon book, the Sealing Card, and the mask, had long been stored elsewhere.

The rest, even if they are found to be superhuman, it doesn't matter.

After all, he came from a family of Witch Hunter, and he encountered the Dawn of Gods and the resurgence of mysterious power. Having one or two low-level professions was not a big deal at all.

Tap tap!

After Sulu had reviewed all the information, the carriage stopped at a certain spot. "Sir... we've arrived!"

Sulu paid the fare, got off the carriage with his suitcase, and found himself in front of a huge building.

Located in the city center, surrounded by a large flow of people, the central feature is a grand gate in the shape of a triumphal arch made of pure white marble. Behind it, one can clearly see numerous magnificent high-rise buildings that resemble libraries. Guards stand guard and patrol at the entrance.

'It's kind of like a university...'

Sulu exclaimed in admiration and arrived at the main gate.

"Pass!"

Two security guards immediately stopped them.

They were tall and had gun holsters at their waists!

Moreover, they possessed a distinct aura that made Sulu suspect they had just come from the battlefield.

'A retired soldier working as a security guard? He might even be active duty...'

Sulu couldn't help but sigh: 'The outer perimeter is like this, but for the real internal security, do we really need to use superhumans?'

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He came here for two reasons: first, to find a way to infiltrate the organization; and second, to avoid trouble.

Whether it was the potential upheaval in Nia City or Beatrice, both made him need to find a backer when he was weak.

From this perspective, Green Tree Castle is naturally better the stronger it is!

"I am Sulu Potter, a graduate of St. George University! This is proof of my employment!"

Sulu took out several documents, including the previous admission notice, and handed them over.

"Wait a minute!"

A security guard glanced at Sulu and quickly ran inside.

About ten minutes later, he came out with another woman dressed in a white researcher's uniform.

The woman was in her thirties, with messy brown hair and regular features, but she looked tired, as if she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

Seeing Sulu, she nodded. "Sulu Potter? I'm Professor William's assistant, you can call me Cecilia! Come with me!"

She registered and then led Sulu through the gate.

"Our Green Tree Castle Laboratory is very large, with a total of over 7,000 employees, each led by a mentor!"

Cecilia gestured for Sulu to step aside, then drove out something that looked like a convertible steam car. She skillfully opened the door and invited Sulu to sit in the passenger seat.

Accompanied by the distinctive roar of steam, this four-wheeled steel monster sped along the road.

"Surprised? This is the second model produced by the Steam Research Institute; it's still in the testing phase!"

Cecilia, gripping the steering wheel, said, "Those gear fanatics have already applied for patents and are preparing to attract investment for production, but I think... it will take at least five to ten years before you see it outside. Before that, the Federation will need to invest a large sum of money to repair all the roads..."

She spoke very familiarly, and Sulu nodded repeatedly as she listened.

While the trend of mechanical power defeating bio-power is inevitable, it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

However, in the current Federation transportation system, there are very few roads that are as widened and leveled as this research institute, allowing steam cars to speed by freely.

If the road conditions were like that, the car might have overturned while driving.

At the same time, the utilization efficiency of steam engines still needs to be improved, otherwise the economic benefits are hard to say.

"Looks good... but the natural rubber tires are too expensive, and there's the issue of the steam engine..." Sulu chuckled, making Cecilia's eyes light up. "That's right, and the rubber too! Those idiots! Haha... I'm going to make them laugh tonight."
