Lauren Sam was very happy. He told everyone, "You must come."

In his opinion, he took a big advantage. A song that could make the audience applaud would definitely become a pop song. At that time, no matter whether it is selling records or anything, he would be able to make back 200 pounds of money.

As for making everyone in the VIP private room stand up and applaud, how can this be so easy to do? If this Zhendan really does it, although a song of 500 pounds a bit hurts, it will be considered as Citi to buy fame.

In short, Lauren Sam left happily, his proud smile reflected in the eyes of his loyal black housekeeper.

Masha was also very happy. He had already thought about it and then copied a famous song that suits the current environment every week.

For example, the classical masters in the early 20th century actually became popular since the mid-19th century, so it is absolutely fine to copy it.

From then on, I copied a few top works every week and made a few thousand pounds. In a few months, the Grand Theater, which was not enough to make ends meet, should go bankrupt. Then the legendary bard Shay Aznab took over the theater.

Then she changed the underground of the theater into Andrea's laboratory, allowing her to create humanoid mobile weapons, and the driver usually sang opera in the theater...

Just as Masha was thinking about it, Andrea interrupted his thoughts: "Why is the stage name Shaya Aznab? Is there any allusion to this name?"

Masha touched her cheeks with an awkward look on her face.

When "Mobile Suit Gundam" was first introduced, it was completely localized by the translator. One of the main characters, Kasbar, the elite of the Zeon Army with the pseudonym Charia, was translated as Masha.

So as soon as he mentioned the stage name, Masha remembered this.

It just so happens that he still has to wear a mask. At that time, maybe he has to wear a golden wig in order to hide his black hair. This is so suitable for Shay Aznab - Gundari's original image was wearing a mask and blonde hair.

But this cannot be said to Andrea.

So Masha planned to make excuses: "There is no allusion, it just slaps your head and suddenly thinks of it. Just think it's a mistake made by young people."

——Cao, I started talking about Xia Ya’s famous lines when I was not careful, I had to take it easy.

Andrea looked puzzled, and Masha decided to forcefully change the topic: "Anyway, when you have the financial resources of Fort Vaugh, you can openly buy materials and rent workshops."

"Say that's it..." Andrea looked worried, "But can you really create so many good music? You can't come every day, right?"

Masha was about to comfort Dria, and Richard spoke, "Does Miss Gastonin plan to open a workshop in Fort Worde?"

"No, I can't stay in Fort Worde for too long. I'll leave after renting a workshop to make equipment," Andrea said.

"You've left after making equipment... It sounds like you're going to take a risk? Are you planning to inherit your father's will?"

“Yes, that’s it.”

Richard suddenly browed: "You don't want to go west?"

Andrea asked retortly: "Did the Federation issue a decree that cannot go west?"

"This is not. But I just said that going west is very dangerous. If you really want to go, you have to prepare accordingly. A well-equipped expedition may cost tens of thousands of pounds, which is one tenth of the cost of Inglis' latest ironclad ship."

Masha remembers that the main battleship of the navy in this era was the central gun room ironclad ship, which looked like 400,000 pounds.

Thinking of this, it is indeed ridiculously expensive to spend tens of thousands of pounds to form an expedition team.

Richard continued: "First of all, you need a skilled hunter, maybe two. Otherwise, you have to bring too much supplies. Hunters can hunt along the way, find water sources, and identify some dangerous beasts.

"Then you need an animal companion, a druid or a ranger of the eagle, to avoid large monsters with the hawk's vision.

"I recommend hiring druids. Although it is expensive, druids' spells have many uses, such as making your horses less tired and prolonged explosive power when they escape.

"Then there are spellcasters like mages. If you want to use a small army to go to the west, you must bring spellcasters with you under the current situation, and you must bring advanced ones, such as the Fourth Ring Mage.

"The priest and the paladin are also necessary. I know what you want to say, but I advise you to take the paladin and don't ask why.

"Then you need a wizard who is proficient in curses, or you may soon be unable to move forward.

"Considering the dangers of this trip, it is best to prepare double copies of the professions I mentioned above, so that you can never move forward if you die. In addition to these, you should also try to ensure that you have complete configurations.

"You need barbarians as melee hand-to-hand combat specialization, to deal with zombies or slug monsters that have no effect on guns and bullets.

“You need bards to provide exemptions with war songs to deal with mental stress.

“You need a mechanic – well, there’s an inventor.

“You also need wanderers to detect and remove complex traps.

"Your group needs fortune tellers so that you can find your way after you are completely lost... Forget it, no more. In short, you'd better prepare a copy of all the strange people you can find in Fort Worth. In the current situation, when they hear that you are going west, they will immediately double the price or even refuse the commission."

Richard stopped and looked back and forth at Masha and Andrea: "Even if you really assemble the team, this trip will be in danger. Let's leave it to the federal army. Next week, or next week, the Federal Assembly will pass a bill to recruit soldiers, and may also hire Hessen mercenary corps and buy new ironclad ships."

...Wait a minute, why buy ironclad ships? The west is full of great wastelands, right? Do you also want to sail on dry land?

Masha was about to ask clearly when he heard someone exclaiming in the private room next door.

Xiao Budian also shouted loudly: "There is a sausage flying in the sky!"

Masha looked out the window and saw a giant figure like the Red Alert Rikirov airship crossing the wasteland.

There was something like clouds around the airship.

Richard: "It seems that the Federal Navy has also been dispatched. Judging from the density of the bats around the airship, there are many druids on the airship."

Masha: "Spiked bat?"

"Biologies created with druid spells and modern genetics can fire the iron nails they eat like bullets, which are very popular with druids."

...The druid and Masha imagined it a little differently!

At this time Andrea said to Richard: "But we still don't interrupt the change of plans. We have reasons why we must go. When the Federation flattens the other side, it will be meaningless for us to go again."

Richard sighed: "That's it. To be honest, I'm very sad to see a lady like you step into death."

Masha: "I thought you would sacrifice your life to accompany Miss Beautiful."

"Although I am no longer an employee of the Hengduan Railway Company, I still have work in the Mage Society. The Federation has just established its own Arcane Academy and I want to teach there. So, I'm sorry." Richard seemed really sorry.

Richard paused and said, "But you must be quick to form a team, because the federal army might solve the problem in a few weeks. After all, you see, the navy's ironclad ship was also dispatched. The thing was equipped with 12-inch heavy artillery. When it was shot from the sky, it also had to add gravity potential energy, and nothing could stop it."

Andrea looked at the airship like a sausage in the sky outside the window: "I will."

Susu: "I'm hungry, I want to eat sausage!"

Andrea reached out to pull the rope calling the conductor.

In the evening, the train slowly drove into Kings Cross Station in Fort Worde.

Strangely, the Gleon Federation has no king at all, but there are stations named "king" everywhere.

Richard had to sit all the way to the terminal of the Cross-border Railway, so Masha and his party said goodbye to him and got off.

As soon as I got off the car, a black man came forward and said, "Miss, I'll carry your luggage."

"No, we have horses." Andrea said politely.

Masha took the horse sign and went along the platform to the carriage where the livestock was transported.

Susu stood beside Andrea, carrying Andrea's small bag, looking like her maid.

Masha soon returned with two horses and the tribute from the storage.

Andrea turned over the horse in a daze and said to Masha: "I'm quite familiar with this place, come with me."

Masha carried Susu on his horse first, rode himself, and followed Andrea who set out first.

To be honest, Masha was a little nervous along the way, because there were too many pedestrians and he was always worried about hitting someone.

Fortunately, the horse under his crotch was very accustomed to walking through the crowd. Without Masha's control, he nimblely dodged all the pedestrians.

As soon as he left the station gate, Masha covered his mouth.

Because there is a pungent smell in the air, it makes his nose itchy.

Andrea in front of him had already started sneezing and making loud noises.

Masha caught up and patted her on the shoulder: "Is it okay?"

"It's okay, I still can't adapt to the air in big cities."

Andrea said as she took out her handkerchief.

Masha turned his head to look at the culprit of the pungent smell-

The forest of chimneys extends to the horizon, and each chimney is filled with thick smoke.

The whole sky is gray and there is no sun at all.

——It really has the characteristics of this era.

Masha silently said: "Can the druids actually endure such a city?"

"The Druids are also divided into factions," Andrea said. She seemed to be used to Masha's lack of social common sense, and explained directly. "The Darwinians believe that adapting to industrial society will allow organisms to complete glorious evolution, and this faction likes cockroaches and rats very much."

Masha was shocked: "These two creatures have indeed evolved very well into industrial society."

"The fundamentalist druids have been working hard to destroy industrial society and assassinate scientists and mechanics."

For some reason, Masha felt that the druids of this faction looked familiar.

Andrea continued: "There is also an extreme faction, who believes that self-disciplined machinery is also a creature and should also be influenced by druid spells."

"What?" Masha shouted directly, "What kind of genre is this?"
