The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

For others, in a place like the Wanguo Hotel, it is the most normal thing for a woman to appear in a man's room. After all, this is a place where local socialites often come and go.

But for Leo, it is not normal for a woman to appear in Pasa Kagulan's room, because Pasa Kagulan is a beast soul warrior. According to the information he knows, unless a beast soul warrior is in Otherwise, it is impossible to have an impulse towards any opposite sex, so the woman who left the shoe print is definitely not a courtesan.

Leo squatted down, stretched out his hand to wipe the part of the woman's footprint that was not polluted by other footprints, put it under his nose and sniffed carefully, and at the same time raised the perception of the olfactory organ to the extreme. Quickly analyze it under the resolution and store it in the memory of the brain.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Leo immediately restored his sense of smell to normal, and then he blew his nose vigorously to clear away all the smells he just smelled.

Although Leo has been able to control and enhance his body's various sensory organs very early, he rarely uses this ability, and most of the time he keeps it in a normal state, because of the various discomforts caused by the supernormal sensory organs Even someone like him, who has experienced countless harsh circumstances, will feel a strong discomfort.

Just like just now, just in a short period of time, the perception of the olfactory organs has been raised to the extreme, and there are thousands of smells pouring into his nose, except for the smells related to clues that he wants. , Most of the smells are useless environmental smells, and most of these environmental smells are extremely unpleasant. After being enlarged, they are almost as good as gas bombs, enough to drive a normal person crazy.

At this moment, although Leo could no longer smell the strong odor, the discomfort still hadn't completely disappeared. Fortunately, it didn't affect his normal actions anymore.

After finding the clues he wanted, Leo left the Wanguo Hotel where the murder scene was located, returned to the police headquarters by the same route, and returned to the room where he was placed without disturbing anyone.

For the next two days, Leo stayed in the room, while his mental network kept an eye on the situation in the police headquarters and controlled the progress of Pasa Kagulan's investigation.

Because the direction of the investigation was completely wrong, the progress of the investigation of the case was naturally not moved at all, and the Panier Mission was originally annoyed and frightened by the death of its deputy envoy, and now it is regarded as a suspect by the police, which made them feel even worse. Annoyed, and this emotion was directly brought into the negotiations with the kingdom's mineral mining rights, and even directly stated that if the case was not investigated clearly, there was no need for the negotiations to continue.

The stagnation of the negotiations naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-level officials of the Kingdom. For this reason, the Congress also appointed two members of Parliament as supervisors to station in the police headquarters, responsible for supervising the progress of the case. The police headquarters came to assist in the investigation of this case, in order to solve the case in the shortest possible time.

At this time, Frank Fussen came to the police headquarters, told Leo the news of the completion of the matter, and took Leo to the storage location of the eternal wisdom artifact.

"It took two days, it seems that the resistance is not small!" In the carriage, Leo said as if looking at the constantly moving scenery outside the window, as if talking to himself.

"It will take a while, but the royal family has contributed a lot to this matter." Frank Fusen explained, and said: "The batch of medicine you shot to the royal family played a big role."

Leo looked at Frank Fussen with a little surprise. It was within his expectation that the royal family would help him with the artifact of eternal wisdom, but what he did not expect was that the reason why the royal family helped him was that For wizard potions.

Although Leo could feel that the wizard potion was very precious from the attitude of Frank Fussen and Otto wizard competing for the potion before, but now he found that he still underestimated the value of the wizard potion.

"Is the wizard potion worth that much?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"It may not be of such great value at other times, but in this period of time, the value of wizard potions is not low." Frank Fussen explained without hesitation: "I heard that the royal family has found the Starchaser Sea Chart left over from that year, and is going to send someone to Go to Star Falling Sea to find a new land suitable for colonization, your potion can help the expedition team reduce casualties, so it is naturally precious."

"Falling Star Sea?" Leo couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the name.

Falling Star Sea is a piece of sea located in the middle of the three continents, Mosang Continent, Velen Continent and Sigma Continent. According to the statistics of scholars from various countries, its area is more than twice the combined land area of ​​all countries in the three continents.

In addition, some scholars speculated that there was only one land in the world at the beginning based on the origin of the Falling Star Sea, the divisions of the surrounding islands, and the shapes of the three continents. Later, a star city fell and hit the land, causing the land to fission. , scattered, and finally formed the current three continents and countless islands around the Falling Star Sea.

For a long time, the Sea of ​​Falling Stars has been the sea area that all countries that want to gain supremacy at sea most want to conquer, because as long as they can occupy the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, it is equivalent to completely mastering the sea routes of the entire Vinylon civilization world, unlike the Kingdom of England now. Even a sea supremacy cannot prevent the fleets of other countries from criss-crossing the sea.

Now the sea route linking the three continents is in the shape of a circle. Any ship going from one continent to the other two has to go around for a while to reach the destination. Moreover, due to the relationship between ocean currents and air currents, the climate of the route is also ever-changing. , elusive, nearly 80% of shipwrecks are caused by sudden changes in ocean currents.

During the period of great voyages, many countries hoped to find a new route from the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, because they found that after entering the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, both the ocean current and the air flow had eased a lot, and even in rainy days, it was impossible to form a storm. On the contrary, it is as non-threatening as the continuous light rain on land.

It's a pity that if the ship enters the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, the ship will lose its direction inexplicably. If you are lucky, you can leave the Sea of ​​Falling Stars after a few days of drifting in the sea, while those who are unlucky will stay in the Sea of ​​Falling Stars forever.

"How come there is a chart in Falling Star Sea?" Leo couldn't help asking curiously.

Frank Fussen had no scruples either, and said, "Of course, it's a gift from the Sea God."

Leo was puzzled: "Since there are charts, why did you..."

"Because even having a sea chart is useless." Frank Fussen explained: "After entering the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, the wind and waves will become smaller and smaller, and after that, the wind and waves will completely disappear, and there will be no ocean currents, just like stagnant water. In the past, they were all sailing ships. Entering that sea area is equivalent to entering a dead zone. Now that there are steam ships, the biggest threat in that sea area is gone. As long as the correct route is found with the help of the sea chart, the kingdom can control the entire Sea of ​​Falling Stars , truly controlling the world's sea lanes."

Leo listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help asking: "Is it okay for you to tell me the development plan of the whole country like this?"

"Will you tell?" Frank Fussen asked.

Leo didn't answer, and there was no need to answer.

"Is Falling Star Sea dangerous?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know. This matter is led by the royal family. Even the Congress has no way to get involved, let alone me who is about to retire." Frank Fussen shook his head, then paused, and said: "But judging from the various materials they have collected recently, it should not be very peaceful there."

Leo didn't ask any more questions. Although he was also very interested in Falling Star Sea, he didn't have enough information for him to judge the situation, so now is definitely not a good time for him to get involved. At least he has to wait for some news from Inge After the royal family revealed it, consider whether to get involved.

The reason why Leo is also interested in Falling Star Sea is because he thinks that the hypothesis made by those scholars that the stars fall to the ground and split the earth is correct, and whether the stars are meteorites or something else is just another matter. Maybe this has something to do with the Via people .

Afterwards, Leo and Frank Fussen chatted about the Falling Star Sea, but Leo didn't get any more useful information from it, and the two sides lost interest in talking, sitting in the car silently, thinking about their own matter.

However, soon Frank Fusen couldn't help it, and said: "We have blocked all the passages leaving Durin, and conducted strict inspections on all people who left Durin. There are people from the Special Bureau in every main road Guard, as long as the murderer does not leave that night, he will never escape."

"Hmm!" Leo snorted disapprovingly.

Frank Fussen could see that Leo didn't take what he said seriously, and felt that Leo seemed to know something he didn't know, and these things might be the key to finding the murderer, but even if he could feel these , but he is not easy to ask.

Therefore, he had no choice but to find something to say, and said, "You said earlier that Pasa Kagulan was a beast soul fighter. Is there any evidence? I have asked many people from the Panier mission in the past two days, and they all Didn't know about it."

"Hmm." Leo responded casually again.

Frank Fussen frowned impatiently, and said in a serious tone: "Is what you said that day true?"

"It's true." Leo responded, and asked back: "But what's the use of knowing these things, you have investigated the wrong direction from the beginning, such a long incident, maybe the other party has already left Durin."

Frank Fussen did not refute Leo's guess, because it was also the biggest guess in his mind these two days. If the murderer is really a beast soul warrior as Leo said, then the checkpoints specially set up by the Special Bureau and the police for him will become a joke. place, and may even have left the Kingdom of England.

Thinking of this, Frank Fussen's mood became a little heavy.

"Don't worry, it's not too bad." Leo said suddenly.

Hearing what Leo said, Frank Fusen was stunned, and asked anxiously, "Did you find anything?"

However, facing the inquiry, Leo just smiled and did not continue.

Seeing Leo like this, Frank Fussen was angry and funny, but he also knew that Leo would not be able to tell what he found if he asked more, so he could only stop this topic.

After driving on the road for about ten minutes, the carriage entered the commercial area on the east side of Durin, and stopped in front of a magnificent building composed of dozens of marble columns and giant rocks.

"National Bank?" Leo got off the carriage, looked up at the English engraved on the eaves of the building, and chanted.

Before, Leo guessed that the artifact might be stored in a secret place, protected by some powerful people, and only those who passed special tests could get close to it, but he never thought that the artifact storage location was actually in the Kingdom of England. The National Bank, and it's where everyone can see it.

However, despite being surprised, he felt that this approach was reasonable. After all, except for a few special places in the entire Kingdom of England, almost all other places were inferior to the National Bank in terms of security, not to mention Putting things in the National Bank and protecting the property in the National Bank at the same time is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"It's a bit of a surprise!" Frank Fusen looked at Leo's expression, and he knew what Leo was thinking at the moment.

"Yes, it was a bit of a surprise." Leo nodded.

"Me too. I was also surprised when I found out that the artifact is here." Frank Fussen also laughed at himself and said, "However, it's very safe here, even safer than the headquarters of the Special Bureau."

Leo turned his head to look at Frank Fussen, but he didn't speak, but there was doubt in his eyes.

"You'll know when you get in." Frank Fussen smiled, without explaining, but led Leo up the more than one hundred steps in front of the bank.

After the two entered the bank, several people waiting at the door greeted them immediately. After saluting Frank Fussen, they turned to look at Leo Dodd, and then turned to look at him with a questioning look. Look at Frank Fussen.

"Yes, he is." Frank Fussen nodded and said.

After getting the response, the few people said nothing more, and led the two into the side hall next to it, then entered a small garden area from the side hall, turned around two corridors, and came to the small hall in the center of the bank. in the garden.

In the middle of this small garden was a maze made of woods. Those people walked straight into the maze, followed by Frank Fussen and Leo.

After they passed the third wall of flowers made of trees, the people leading the way stopped almost at the same time, then reached out and inserted their hands into the bushes next to them, seeming to grab something, and then pulled a few times.

After a while, a very faint mechanical sound was heard, and the flower wall not far away moved to both sides like a movable wall, revealing the small pavilion behind the tree wall and a spiral staircase leading to the ground.
