The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

For the items of the Wetzkers, Leo hardly needs to compare any information about the Wetzkers in his memory. He can already be sure that the two items in the box are Wetzkers just based on the feeling that goes deep into his soul. man's stuff.

Leo was able to become a psyker entirely because of the accessories of the Wetzkers. At the same time, he is now able to have the blood of the throne of the unmentionable because of the accessories of the Wetzkers. Therefore, whether the items of the Wetzkers are psionic Objects have extraordinary meanings to him.

The two items in the box are sacrificial knives used by the Wetzkers in religious ceremonies. The knives should be polished with stones, and they seem to have been used many times. The blades have shown jagged wear. , In addition, except for the owner's name engraved on the handle, there are no extra patterns on other parts.

The other item is a necklace strung together with a large number of bones. Compared with the unpretentious stone sacrificial knife, the surface of this necklace of bones has very exquisite patterns, and there are also a lot of unique characters of the Witzk people. See It looks like some kind of compliment. From the exquisiteness of this necklace, it can be seen that the identity of the person wearing this necklace is probably very high among the Wetzkers.

Because his own spiritual power comes from the accessories of the Wetzkers, when Leo was studying with Rembrandt, he also asked Rembrandt about the Wetzkers.

What surprised him, however, was that even Old Man Rembrandt didn't know much about the Wetzkers.

The Wezke people are a small number of primitive tribes living in the Black Forest. According to the historians of the French Empire, they existed before the civilization of Velen Continent, but historians and anthropologists of other countries do not agree with this. According to this theory, they believe that the Wetzkers themselves are a kind of civilization, and it is a kind of advanced civilization with extremely high material and spiritual levels.

In the field of history, there are a group of people who are extremely obsessed with the Wetzker civilization. Just like other scholars who are obsessed with a certain civilization, these people who are obsessed with the Wetzker civilization have also formed a worldwide study of the Wetzker civilization. Society, and annually publish some of their findings.

These scholars found that the Wezke people are different from other tribes in the Black Forest. Almost all other tribes living in the Black Forest can find out the origin of the tribe. Only the Wezek people seem to appear out of thin air. Establish a tribe in an unoccupied area of ​​the forest.

The reason why scholars think so is mainly because the shapes of all the daily necessities used by the Wetzkers in the earliest Wetzker ruins discovered are completely different from those of any other tribes around them, and the language, language, and The writing is also quite different from the languages ​​and writings of other tribal civilizations. This situation did not change until more than a hundred years later, when the Wetzkers and surrounding tribes began to merge.

The reason why all the historians in the world of Velen believe that the Wizkers are a civilization, not just a primitive tribe like other tribes, is because the Wizkers once governed all the tribes in the Black Forest and established A unified class of kingdoms and tribes.

However, just as there is no root cause for the appearance of the Weszkers, there is no trace of the disappearance of the Weszkers.

Scholars of the Wetzkers have found that after the Wetzkers almost unified the entire Black Forest tribe, within two to five years, the area ruled by the Wetzkers shrunk abnormally rapidly. In the sixth year, including the The farthest tribal settlements of the Zik disappeared, along with all the Wezzic.

After the Wiskers disappeared, the Black Forest tribes who were conquered by them began to destroy everything that the Wiskers had built, from architecture to writing, from ornaments to weapons, in short, as long as it was related to the Wiskers They will be completely destroyed, and even the cemetery of the Wetzkers in the past was excavated by those tribes. All the bones and burial objects were completely burned, so all the cemeteries of the Wetzkers that can be found now have been burned. traces, without exception.

It is precisely because of this destructive act of destruction that it is very difficult for current historians to find anything of value related to the Wetzkers from the remaining relics.

It has been more than 100 years since the existence of Wetzker civilization was confirmed for the first time, but historians still have a superficial understanding of Wetzker people, and can only sort out some unique patterns of Wetzker people. , characters, and no one knows what these patterns and characters actually write. The only thing that is certain is that the language and writing of the Wezzic people, just like their ethnic group, is also a unique language that is completely independent of all human writing and languages ​​in this world.

"Can I have a look?" Leo recalled all the information about the Wetzkers in his mind, keeping his eyes on the two items in the box, and asked.

"Of course." Seeing Leo's expression, Fernando had a smug smile faintly on his face, and made a light hand gesture generously.

Leo did not reach for the sacrificial knife with obvious spiritual energy fluctuations, but took out the bone necklace from another box, put it in front of his eyes, and carefully looked at the decorative patterns and words on it. .

At the first glance, Leo could be sure that the decorative patterns on the necklace faintly contained traces of the distorted patterns on the stone throne, so it can be seen that the Wezzy and the unmentionable should have a similar relationship. some kind of connection,

In addition, what surprised Leo even more was the words on the necklace, because he had seen those words, and the books recording these words were still lying in his storage space. That magic book that Leo dared not take out to read carefully.

In the past few days, Leo took out the magic book of the crystallized old man from the storage space more than once, trying to study the mysteries contained in it, but he never got anything. He just saw it on the cover of the magic book. Some very subtle words, as for the pages in the magic book are still blank.

Leo also tried to use the method taught to him by Dior to interpret these words, but after many attempts, he finally found that these words were completely different from the rules of the words in the Vinylon world, and these words were a new type of writing system.

At that time, Leo's focus was not on this new writing system. After all, in his opinion, the crystallized old man was another survivor of a collapsed civilization, and it was not difficult for that civilization to have a new writing system. understand things.

But now, after seeing this string of Witzk necklaces, Leo had some speculations in his heart. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the Witzk people, and the Witzk people are independent of the text, language and entire civilization of the entire Velen world. Style, reminiscent of the end of the world where the crystal old man lived, it seems that the world problems that plagued Wezzic researchers have found the answer.

The Weskers are not from the world of Velen at all. These people are humans from other worlds just like him, but Leo came to this world in the form of soul possession, and the Weskers with powerful magic are A large number of Wetzkers were sent to this world through witchcraft or other powers of some kind of space plane.

As for why the Witzks would do this, it's not difficult to imagine, because the world they live in is dying, and they either flee to other worlds or stay and wait to die.

However, what Leo thinks more about now is the bloodline from the stone throne on his body, the mysterious subspace he entered when he activated his psychic power, and everything seems to be related to the Wetzkers. To solve all the mysteries about him, I'm afraid we need to start with the Wetzkers.

"How is it? Your Excellency Dodd, do you think these two items are suitable for betting?" Just as Leo was holding the necklace and lost in thought, Fernando asked impatiently.

Leo put the necklace in his hand back into the box, turned his head and asked Fernando: "In terms of the value of the item itself, it can't compare with my bet at all, but the items of the Witzks are important to me. But it has a special meaning, and the value is naturally not the same, so I accept this bet." Then, he raised his hand to stop Fernando from speaking, then looked at him thoughtfully, and said, "However, I Curious, how did you know that Wezzy items are important to me?"

Fernando smiled and said: "After hearing your name, I naturally have to study you carefully. I found that you have been just an ordinary person for more than 20 years, until the skirmish broke out that year. Your Excellency just started to become different. So I carefully studied your experience during that time, and I also found the shop in Rabbit Skin Town, found the owner, and used a little trick to ask him Something useful." Then, he stared at Leo and said, "The Wetzker ornament should be the key to your wizard ability?"

Leo didn't answer, but looked at the items on the table, and said, "So you also spare no effort to collect items from the Wetzkers, trying to find out the secret that I can become a wizard, and then master this secret." , he and Fernando looked at each other, hinting: "It seems that Mr. Fernando is also an ambitious person!"

Fernando heard Leo's words, although his face was still calm as usual, but he shook his right hand behind him unconsciously, and this small movement was completely captured by Leo's mental network.

"Ahem!" Feeling that Leo seemed to be looking at something, Fernando turned his head away, coughed a few times in a concealed manner, then closed the box again, and asked Leo without beating around the bush: "What is our bet now?" Is it established?"

"Established." Leo stretched out his hand towards Fernando and asked at the same time, "How do you win?"

Fernando held Leo's hand and said, "Whoever sends someone to the Holy Blood will win."

Leo could easily hear the tricks in Fernando's bet, but he didn't care. He nodded and said, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Fernando's hand and walked out of the study, but when he reached the door of the study, he stopped suddenly, turned to Fernando and asked, "There are other Wetzkers in your hand items? I am willing to buy at a high price."

Fernando showed a look of regret, and said, "I also like the items of the Wetzkers very much, and money is not important to me at all, so I'm sorry."

Leo didn't say anything more, he opened the door and walked out. He stepped into the shadow of one side window and disappeared from the Governor's Mansion.

When Leo disappeared, Fernando, who had been acting with ease since just now, heaved a sigh of relief. He sat limply on the chair as if he had done heavy work all day.

Although Fernando appeared relaxed just now, he was actually very nervous because he found that Leo was more dangerous than he expected.

After becoming a believer of Lady Elegant and gaining the grace of the priest, Fernando gained some abilities that he had envied before. Among these abilities was an ability that could help him judge the danger of the enemy.

Just now, he felt that he was being spied on through the lady's ability, and then he came up with a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, to lure Leo out, and after discovering Leo's identity, he deliberately appeared out, wanting to see this Inge How could the poor boy in the kingdom occupy a place in Sylvia's heart.

However, when he appeared in front of Leo, the ability to help him understand the strength of the enemy in advance was like the siren on the train, blazing crazily in his mind, warning him of the danger of the person in front of him It has far exceeded his ability to bear.

Fernando was a little confused at the time, because before he showed up, his ability always thought that Leo was just a slightly stronger person, and he could easily take down Leo with his ability, so he decided to go now Now that he is in the body, now that he shows up, the answer given by his ability has become completely different, which put him in a dilemma at that time.

Fortunately, his coping ability is not bad, and he used the excuse of finding the ancestor's weapon in time to create a bet, which held Leo back. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous, because he believed that Leo would definitely be there when he appeared. At that moment, the idea of ​​doing it came up.

After calming down the chaotic emotions, Fernando did not plan to stay in the study any longer, stood up, walked out of the study, and walked towards the garden where the banquet was being held. He felt that staying in the crowd at this time was better than being alone It's better to stay in the room.

On the way, he also carefully considered the bet he had set up, and he found that the bet he thought of improvised did not seem to be as bad as he had expected before. If he operated properly, he might be able to win the bet , Take back the ancestral weapon from Leo. Thinking of this, he immediately stopped walking towards the garden, pondered for a while, then turned and walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion. After arriving at the gate, he ordered his servants to prepare a carriage, and then told the coachman a place name. Boarded the carriage and left the Governor's Mansion.
