The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the Donald family is considered powerful in the Kingdom of England, it has always been difficult for their family to integrate into the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of England. A vassal family used to help them deal with business matters, not a real noble family, even if they have the title of noble.

Not only Leo, but the vast majority of other people in the Kingdom of England believe that the current situation of the Donald family is due to their family background as a businessman, their eagerness for quick success and quick profit, and their family's immoral motto that everything is false and profit is eternal.

Although the behavior of the Donald family is not wrong, and basically all the nobles act in the same way as the Donald family, but it can be said that this kind of thing can be done, and this kind of eagerness for quick success is regarded as an honor, and there is no scruple How could it not be regarded as heterogeneous.

However, now it seems that the Donald family is not recognized by the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of England. There should be another deep meaning, that is, the ancestors of the Donald family were pirates.

Although, in that drama, it is said that the sailor who finally embraces the beautiful woman is just a captain, which sounds like an adventurer or a businessman, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the so-called captain is more likely to be a pirate. After all, in the sea at that time, even Even a serious merchant ship will also make a guest appearance as a pirate when necessary.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Kingdom of England started with pirates and became the overlord of the sea. However, within the Kingdom of England, it pays more attention to the knight tradition brought over from the French Empire. It has always been extremely contemptuous and contemptuous of the old knight-born pirates. Well, even Pirate Earl Drake, the most outstanding pirate nobleman in the Velen continent, would not be regarded as a partner by them, let alone other nobles of pirate origin.

At this time, Leo suddenly noticed a suspicious point, that is, the conch shell that summoned the sea monster in the story did not record its origin. If according to the records in the story, Donald's ancestor was just an ordinary sailor, or a sailor on a pirate ship who accidentally obtained a conch that summoned a sea monster, then it is impossible for him to know where the conch came from, just knowing How to use the conch, but now Sean Donald is very sure that the conch comes from the world where the Sea God Temple is located, and even expressed confidence that he can get it, even at the risk of being alone, which obviously violates the logic in the story.

Leo asked directly: "How do you know that the conch came from this world? Did your ancestors tell you?"

"Yes." Sean obviously knew the doubts in Leo's heart, so he added after acknowledging: "Actually, the legendary story is not completely correct. My ancestor was indeed a sailor, but he was not a sailor from Velen. I am a sailor of the human city-state of this world, and my ancestors are the native humans of this world."

Hearing Xiao En's words, Leo was a little surprised, but quickly recovered, and asked curiously: "How did your ancestors go to the world of Velen?"

Xiao En shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There is no relevant content recorded in the books left by our ancestors."

Leo felt that Donald wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't ask, but asked another question, "Why do you suddenly want to take the risk to find the sea monster conch? With your current status in the royal family, you shouldn't encounter it." What danger is it right? And the sea monster conch sounds like it should be useful at sea, are you going to follow your ancestors to become sea..." He said, seeing the resolute expression on Xiao En's face, he stopped, Seemingly thinking of something, he said in surprise, "Are you really planning to give up your current status and go to sea?"

"It can't be said that I have given up my current position. My position in the royal family is still very important, and I will not give up." Xiao En shook his head slightly, and then continued: "However, it is indeed as your Excellency thinks. It is true that I have planned to focus on the sea in the future, and before coming here, I have already formed a fleet of seven steamships in the kingdom, just waiting for me to take the sea monster conch and set sail."

Leo asked a little puzzled: "Now the sea is basically the sphere of influence of the fleet of the Kingdom of England. Even if you go to sea, what can you get? Could it be that you are still planning to go to war with the Kingdom of England and grab the control of the Kingdom of England? islands and seas?"

"Of course not. The kingdom ordered me to form the fleet. How could I conflict with the kingdom?" Xiao En shook his head hastily, then he hesitated and said, "You may not know the situation at sea. After that, our fleet discovered that there were many islands out of thin air in the sea. These islands were all over the sea and had a lot of resources on them. The naval fleet of the kingdom itself could not thoroughly explore and control these islands, so we called a private fleet in the kingdom to deal with these islands. The island is explored, and promised that as long as the private fleet explores an island, the island will be granted to the owner of the private fleet as a territory, and the kingdom will only collect 50% of the property tax from the territory."

Hearing this news from Xiao En's mouth, Leo was very surprised. The change at sea was completely beyond his expectation. A certain subspace world overlaps with the Vinylon world, and a projection is created in the Vinylon world, but now it seems that it is not just a simple projection, but actually overlaps with other subspace worlds.

Compared with the changes that are happening in the whole world, the decisions made by the Kingdom of England have become very ordinary.

Undoubtedly, the Kingdom of England made a very correct decision. They did not nationalize all the islands greedily, but let the people participate in the exploration and occupation of the islands. In this way, the fleet of the Kingdom of England only needs to control the sea area to be able to Controlling these islands in a disguised form will lose half of the ownership of these islands, but compared to the final harvest, this loss is obviously nothing.

As long as this policy of the Kingdom of England can be fully implemented, then when the side effects of the world's changes are over and the gray fog disappears, the Kingdom of England's maritime supremacy may be truly established. Of course, the premise of all this is that those who follow Islands appearing with gray fog will not disappear with the gray fog.

Leo quickly discovered another hidden message, and confirmed: "The Kingdom of England has now fully mastered the technology that can sail in the gray fog, and has it been used by civilians? Otherwise, the government of the Kingdom of England It was impossible to make the decision to explore the islands by the private sector."

Xiao En hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "So, the technology for safe navigation in the gray fog sea area has been civilianized."

At this time, Leo thought of the living body cabin he found on the ship, thought of the research on the living body fragments of the cabin, and then thought of the island that appeared with the gray fog mentioned by Sean. Some related questions in his mind instantly found the answer, and immediately Confirmed: "Are you using the things you caught on the island as amulets for ships sailing in the gray mist sea?"

Hearing Leo's transformation, Sean's eyes widened. He felt like he was looking at Leo like a monster. Obviously, Leo's deduction was correct. The creature then used the flesh and blood of the creature to create those living compartments through shamanism, and disguised the entire ship as a gray mist monster to avoid the attack of the gray fog monster.

It's just that these are the top secrets of the Kingdom of England. If it wasn't for the close relationship with the royal family, he wouldn't know about these things, and he only knew a general idea about this matter, but he didn't know how to implement it. known.

However, now Leo seemed to know their method of navigating in the gray mist sea area, and knew the specific method of implementation, which made him not know how to react for a while.

According to common sense, he naturally wants to help the kingdom to suppress the rumors. After all, this is related to the future maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of England. In the world of Vinylon, he even returned to the Kingdom of England. He didn't think Leo would be in any danger. After all, in the current situation, the Kingdom of England, regardless of the royal family, nobles, or church, would win over Leo, who has a powerful and extraordinary power. It is too late for the talents, and there will be hostility there.

While Xiao En was thinking about it, Leo's attention had shifted from what he just talked about to the surroundings. His mental network easily caught all the abnormal movements around him, and then saw him take out the A bottle of potion was poured directly on Xiao En and himself without any explanation.

This bottle of potion was very strange, the liquid spilled from it turned into aerosol in the air, sprayed on the two people, and soon stuck to their clothes, hair and skin.

Sean also woke up from his mind full of cranky thoughts because of Leo's actions. He just wanted to ask Leo why he did this, but Leo covered his mouth, and was dragged by Leo to the stone arch. next to it, leaning tightly against the arch.

Immediately afterwards, Sean felt a slight tremor on the ground, and then a dozen monsters rushed up from the surrounding hillsides. The shape of these monsters was almost exactly the same as the monster that died in Leo's hands before, only in size and size. The number of tentacles on the body is slightly different. Among these monsters, the largest monster is about the size of a large apartment building at least four stories high, while the small one is about the size of a person.

After these monsters rushed to the top of the mountain, they quickly protruded some thorn-like tongues from their mouths. These tongues flicked in the air, as if they were searching for something, and these tongues almost hit the arch several times. However, these monsters seemed to have a strong fear of the arch and did not dare to get too close, so they did not pose a real threat to the two.

After failing to find what they were looking for, these monsters aimed at the dead one of the same kind. The thick tentacles tore at the corpse of the same kind, tore it into pieces, and then sent it into its mouth.

After cannibalizing the same kind, these monsters seemed to be still unsatisfied, so they placed their prey on other living creatures of the same kind, attacking each other, and no matter how fiercely these monsters attacked each other, they would carefully avoid the semicircular door Arches, as if they would die if they touched them.

In the end, only the two largest monsters became the winners, and they both knew that they could not cause fatal damage to each other, so they each chose a direction and left the top of the mountain.

After a while, Leo left the arch, and Sean followed closely, and made a gesture whether he could speak or not. After seeing Leo nodding, he said with lingering fear: "It's too dangerous here, we are now Should get out of here."

"Of course I know that I should leave here, but the question is how to get there?" Leo asked while checking the surrounding situation with the spirit net: "Do you know where the Santa Trullo Mountain is?"

"Should it be over there?" Sean pointed uncertainly in the direction of the palace that was blocked by mountains.

"There is a battle over there, and there are many very powerful beings fighting. If we go over there, if we are involved in the battle, I am not absolutely sure that I can protect you." Leo also looked over there, At the same time, he used his spiritual vision to see the energy turbulence that erupted during the battle over there. If he hadn't made a mistake in his judgment, the unknown beings fighting over there had at least the power of level five or higher psykers, and maybe even level six or seven. Waiting for the existence of a higher power, in this case, Leo can't guarantee that he can retreat unscathed, so he asked again: "Are you sure where it is?"

"I'm not sure either." Sean could hear the seriousness in Leo's tone, so he said truthfully: "The route I know is at the top of Mount Saint-Truu, and only when I get there will I know how to go. Now I don't know much about this..."

Sean didn't say any more, but the meaning has been fully expressed.

Faced with this situation, Leo didn't have any better suggestions, because through his spiritual vision, he saw that the surrounding scenes were similar, only the place where the battle was taking place over there was different from other surrounding environments, so even if it wasn't the Holy Spirit Trushan, he can only choose to go there to see if he can find intelligent creatures and find out some useful information.

Before going on the road, Leo gave Sean another bottle of medicine. The effect of this bottle of medicine is to increase the endurance of the user within a certain period of time. Although it is impossible to increase Sean's strength, it can at least help him on his way. Sometimes, it is not necessary to stop and rest frequently due to endurance reasons.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Leo, the two quickly found a relatively gentle path and walked down the mountain, and through the detection of the spirit network, they easily avoided the monsters they encountered on land. Walking on the road without any surprises or dangers, this kind of bland rush almost made Sean suspect that what he saw on the top of the mountain before was an illusion. There is no danger at all here, and it is a completely safe place.
