The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Sylvia's words, Kerry Fao couldn't help but frowned. Obviously, he didn't know about the matter that Sylvia mentioned, so he couldn't help but doubt what Sylvia said. , think she is not lying.

But thinking about it carefully, the doubts in his heart were completely reduced, because since he could remember, the Ice Queen has been secretly recruiting existences such as family members and supernatural beings, but it seems that the wizards she recruited are very few, even if there are none. will be entrusted with important tasks.

He didn't think there was any problem with this before, but now that he heard Sylvia's words, the two were connected, and he felt that Sylvia might not be lying, and the Snow Queen was indeed disgusted with wizards.

However, he didn't regret his previous invitation to Leo. Even though the queen was displeased this time, he still felt that inviting this wizard who was already well-known in the dark world was the best way to solve the problem.

The only trouble that troubles him now is how to deal with Sylvia who sees through his intentions. If he finds any reason to fool him, he will probably be exposed again and end up in an embarrassing situation. But if he tells the difficulties he faces, Then he couldn't guarantee whether the two in front of him would have other thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, Kerry Fao finally made a decision and chose to tell the story. After all, this matter will spread sooner or later, and it is useless to hide it.

"Your Majesty has indeed encountered a problem." Kerry Fao tidied up his remarks and said, "I wonder if the two of you have heard of Cullenville."

Sylvia shook her head, while Leo thought about it and confirmed, "Is it the Cullenville from the Scarlet Tide?"

"Mr. Leo is worthy of being a tower wizard. He is so knowledgeable and talented that he even knows the bloody tide on his face." Kerry Fao was also a little surprised that Leo could say the bloody tide, so he praised him sincerely, and then He continued: "However, I think Miss Sylvia doesn't know what the Blood Tide is, so I'll explain it first. It just so happens that I also suspect that this matter is related to the Blood Tide back then."

As he said that, he talked about the Scarlet Tide incident very seriously and in detail. Simply speaking, this incident was a cult riot incident.

Cullenville is just a small fishing village in the north of Daliat. This fishing village specializes in catching silver pike in the northern ice ocean. This kind of silver pike is fresh and tender, and it is an extremely precious food material. , or made into dried fish, are very popular with the wealthy upper class, so Cullenville has gradually expanded into a big town because of the trade of these catches.

A cult organization that has been active in the north all the year round took a fancy to Cullenville's relatively remote location. The transportation is not particularly convenient, and most of the contact with the outside world is disconnected. All the conditions are very suitable for them to preach secretly. As a result, Soon after this cult settled in, all the townspeople in Cullenville became followers of this cult.

Afterwards, the cult organization sent leaflets to various provinces, counties, and cities throughout Daliat, saying that a relic of prehistoric civilization had been discovered in Cullenville, and hoped that someone could go to assist in the excavation.

This news is very simple, and if you read it carefully, you will find something wrong, because since you have discovered the remains of prehistoric civilization, you should try to hide it. How can it be made public and share it with other strangers? Woolen cloth?

However, at that time, Daliat was completely immersed in the excavation fever of prehistoric civilization relics, and subconsciously ignored the problematic details, and even if he saw them, he would subconsciously ignore them.

So after the flyers were sent out, a large number of Daliates and non-Daliates came to Cullenville.

However, someone soon discovered the anomaly, because all the people who went to Cullenville never appeared again, so the local officials and nobles at that time immediately formed an investigation team to investigate the situation in Cullenville, and what they saw was a In an empty town, all the residents and outsiders in the town have disappeared. From the traces in the houses, it can be seen that they disappeared very suddenly, because there are traces of a family eating on the table.

In addition to the empty towns, there is also a strange place that the tide off the coast of Cullenville will turn blood red every time it approaches the coastline of Cullenville, thus giving rise to the saying of the bloody tide.

Repeated investigations into this matter did not yield any results in the end, and there was some political turmoil in Daliyat at that time, and the attention of local officials and nobles were all diverted there, and the matter of Cullenville would not be like this. In short, Cullenville was abandoned in the end.

"Since it has been abandoned, now..." Sylvia asked puzzled.

"Ah!" Kerry Fao sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Although that place has been abandoned, it has become a holy place for those idle dignitaries in the country to hunt for novelties. Guys who haven’t set out always fiddle with some weird things, but the things they fiddled with didn’t cause any trouble before, but this time it’s different.”

"They didn't run there to do some cult rituals like offering sacrifices, did they?" After feeling the helplessness shown by the other party, Leo guessed with a smile.

Kerry Fao opened his mouth, did not give a response, just sighed, and said: "Now Cullenville is surrounded by a blood mist, I sent three people to search inside, but they didn't come out, fortunately this area The blood mist only stayed near Cullenville and did not continue to spread outward."

"Shouldn't this kind of matter be resolved by your queen?" Sylvia frowned and questioned.

Kerry Fao explained: "Your Majesty has other more important things to do, and I can't get away."

Sylvia continued with emotion: "In that case, you can wait for your Majesty to withdraw before solving the problem?"

"If that's the case, I'll have a headache." Although Kerry Fao still had a relaxed smile on his face, his tone had become a bit blunt.

Leo said: "Isn't the identity of the person trapped there a bit unusual?"

Kerry Fao nodded, but did not specifically tell Leo who had fallen there.

"I remember that there are many family members and superhumans living in seclusion in Deliyat, and there are many powerful people among them, such as the one behind you." Sylvia asked suspiciously: "Why didn't you send They go to deal with it? They come to us to deal with it."

"How does Miss Sylvia know that I didn't send anyone there?" Kerry Fao asked back, then looked at the two of them again, and said, "And it seems that I didn't find you two to settle this matter." , It was you two who came to look for me, I just made an invitation suggestion, if you two don't want to, you can completely ignore it."

Sylvia didn't continue to ask for details, and turned to look at Leo, as if teaching him the right to make decisions.

Leo thought for a while and said, "Is there a tower ruin in Cullenville?"

Kerry Fao nodded and said, "There is indeed a ruin."

"The tower ruins are related to this matter?" Leo asked again.

Kerry Fao said vaguely: "From the news that an investigation team finally sent back, it seems that there is something related."

Leo could feel that Kerry Fao had hidden a lot of things, and he also knew that the other party should not reveal more things.

So he thought for a while, nodded and said: "We will go to Deliyat in a while, and hope that His Excellency the Earl will welcome our visit."

Kerry Fao said with a smile: "Since this is the case, we have made an agreement. I will wait for you two in Daliat."

Now that this matter has been negotiated, Leo and Sylvia have no plans to stay here any longer. At this time, the auction seems to have come to an end, so the two got up to say goodbye, and directly entered the sidewalk from the stairs next to the restaurant. Hall, and then came outside the Grand Theater.

At the edge of the square, after stopping a carriage, Sylvia asked Leo to wait, then walked to a homeless man lying on the ground next to the square, took out some coins, and put them in the jar next to the homeless man , and then walked back, behaving like an ordinary noble lady who suddenly felt sympathetic.

After the two got into the carriage, Leo ordered the carriage to go to the ruined museum.

"We should be able to hear about the buyer tonight." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded, fell silent for a while, and suddenly said, "We seem to have fallen into Kerry Faol's trap just now?"

"Trap? What kind of trap?" Sylvia looked at Leo in puzzlement.

Leo said in a deep voice: "From the beginning to the end, he never expressed that he would use that container as a reward for us to help him solve the problem."

"No, he mentioned..." Sylvia was about to refute Leo's words, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that just as Leo said, Kerry Fao was always controlling the topic through direct and indirect methods To create an illusion, so that when the two agreed to go to Daliat, they both subconsciously believed that the reward for helping Kerry Fao solve the problem was the container.

Thinking of this, Sylvia, who felt that she might have been fooled, couldn't help cursing repeatedly: "Damn it! Damn it, this damned maggot..."

Leo on the side didn't show too much anger. For him, even if the process was a bit unsatisfactory, there was no need to worry about the things that had been decided. Now his mind had already gone to the fire scene in the museum.

When he was at the scene of the fire during the day, Leo had already checked the situation inside the fire site through the spiritual network, and he also found a few things left by Dawson Quivan. Those things are all products of cosmic civilization, like museums. It is impossible for the fire to cause any damage to these things. In the end, these things will only be buried in a piece of wreckage, and what Leo needs to do is to take them out when the other blood clansmen find those things, and look at them. What kind of investigative clues did Dawson Quivan leave behind?

There were no pedestrians or carriages on the road at night, and the road was smooth, and it didn't take long for them to reach the periphery of the museum.

Although the fire has been completely extinguished, the authorities are still worried about the resurgence of the remaining flames, so they pour water on the ruins every once in a while, which makes a lot of smoky water vapor permeate inside and outside the museum, making people who are close Heartfelt feeling of deep southern wet jungle.

"These idiots! If Dawson Quivan sees it, he will definitely scold him!" Sylvia's emotions have not recovered from the anger just now, and she naturally dislikes everything. When the air was humid, he couldn't help but mocked: "I think that even if the ancient documents and books in this museum were not burned by fire, they might not escape the corrosion of the water vapor. I don't know how many books will be left in the end." .”

Leo shook his head and said: "The blood race has a long enough lifespan to collect what they want, this store is nothing, not to mention the books that are put on public display here should not be important books for them .”

Sylvia pursed her lips boredly, then looked at the gendarmerie in charge of the scene of the handle fire, and said, "You go find something, I'll take care of these people! It's a good time to try out the new ability."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo to react, he walked towards the military police, and at the same time, energy fluctuations were transmitted from his body, quickly spreading to the position of the military police, forming an energy field.

Those gendarmes were not just ordinary people, there were several blood officers among them, and when Sylvia's energy field enveloped them, they didn't feel anything, and didn't find anything abnormal.

Then the frequency of the energy fluctuations emanating from Sylvia suddenly changed, and all the military policemen stood up one by one as if they had received some order, and stood neatly at the gate of the museum according to the usual standing positions for private military ceremonies. It looks like the guards of honor guarding the gates of government agencies.

Sylvia, who easily controlled these gendarmes with her new ability, showed a smile on her face, then gestured to Leo, then walked to the chair next to the museum and sat down, maintaining the control energy field.

After receiving the signal, Leo walked in directly from the main entrance of the museum, and the gendarmes saluted Leo one after another as if they had seen some important person.

After entering the park of the museum, Leo did not immediately go to the location of Dawson Quivan's office, but to the location of the main hall collection.

Because it is close to Dawson Quivan's office, when the fire ignited there, it also burned here, and because the building here was an early wooden structure building, it burned faster and more thoroughly. Looking around, except for a few rocks below, there is only a piece of ruins left on the ground, and all the things in this collection are naturally engulfed in flames.

However, some special things are still exceptions. The flames will not cause damage to these things, but will give them some extra energy. When Leo walks through the ruins, these things are naturally It fell into his hands.
