The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"It seems that this should be a tribal vendetta." Leo judged.

Sylvia was puzzled: "But if it's a tribal vendetta, why do you pretend to be a mutated monster attack?"

Leo also showed a puzzled look, because if it was just a tribal vendetta, there was no need to pretend to be like this, because vendettas between tribes in the wilderness are too common, almost every day there is a tribe, Almost every day, a tribe disappears. According to shamanism, this is part of the law of nature. No one will accuse such tribal vendettas and annexation.

However, the person who slaughtered this tribe now violated the common sense of the tribe and slaughtered everyone, and even falsified the scene, which made both Leo and Silvia smell a hint of conspiracy.

If such a thing happened in other places, neither Leo nor Sylvia would intervene in this matter, they would just turn around and leave, but now the location of the Angry Bear Mountain is very suitable for building an experimental base for observing light worms, and because Tutu Because of the river, it has an excellent transportation system. If something good can be collected here, it can be transported out by water in time.

Therefore, both of them felt that they should take some time to figure out what happened here. It would be the best if they could solve the troubles. If not, they could also make some preventive preparations for setting up a test base here in the future.

After making a decision, the two separated and searched carefully in the tribal camp.

Obviously, those who slaughtered the tribe were not masters of disguise, nor were they experts in cleaning up the scene. In order to cover the traces that they could not clean up, but they still left a lot of clues, and these clues made it easy for Leo and Silvia to connect an information chain, so that they can basically deduce The truth of the situation now.

"You talk first." Sylvia said after the two walked around the tribal camp and reunited at the entrance.

"This tribe is a branch of the Yinyue tribe, and it is a very important branch. In the middle of the camp, there is a totem pole of the Yinyue tribe that has been naturally enlightened by the shaman." The place where the totem pole of the lower base was placed, and how to tell where the totem pole of the Silvermoon Tribe was placed there before was not explained.

"This tribe is called the Moon Ring Tribe. This tribe belongs to the outermost tribe of the Silver Moon Tribe and is also the branch tribe with the largest number of people. Although it is a peripheral tribe, it plays a very important role within the Silver Moon Tribe because it is responsible for managing all the dependent tribes. The subordinate tribe of the Silver Moon Tribe." Sylvia added: "There are thirty branches in the entire Moon Ring Tribe, and each of these thirty branches will be given a guardian totem pole by the Silver Moon Tribe to determine Their status in the Yinyue Tribe, the exterminated tribe should be one of the thirty branches on the surface."

"The assailants deliberately used Teklin's forging weapons to pretend to be vendettas of primitive tribes. The weapons they actually used should be a new type of alloy weapon. This fragment is embedded in the base of the totem pole. It should be When the totem pole was destroyed, it was broken by the power inside the totem pole." Leo continued, and took out a metal fragment the size of a grain of rice and handed it to Sylvia, and then reported a series of information about this metal composition.

"Is there purple tungsten steel in it?" Sylvia emphatically confirmed after hearing the ingredients reported by Leo.

"Yeah." Leo nodded, and said, "I remember that Adoline's alchemy tools were mixed with purple tungsten steel. If I remember correctly, purple tungsten steel seems to be..."

"A special product of Fitz Industry." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

Just like the status of the Dodd Group in the industrial system of the Mozambique Continent now, Rupert Fitz's industrial group had a unique position in the Velen Continent back then, not to mention the various industrial products they manufactured, only their The strength in metallurgy has far surpassed that of the peers at that time.

It is no exaggeration to say that even with the help of Leo Notes, the Dodd Group can stand at the top of the industrial system in Mozambique, but there is still a certain gap between the smelting of metals and industrial products and the Fitz Industry back then. Sylvia also had to admit that if Fitz Industry had survived the monster tide and moved to the Mosang Continent, then the Dodd Group as a competitor would not be able to have the current scale and status.

Purple tungsten steel is a special metal produced by Fitz Industry. This metal has high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and super hardness properties that far exceed similar metals. Therefore, purple tungsten steel is used to make the locomotives of steam trains, and it is still under maintenance. Almost all the locomotives running on the railroad tracks in mainland China are mixed with a large amount of purple tungsten steel.

At the beginning, Sylvia also tried to obtain the formula of purple tungsten steel, but unfortunately Rupert Fitz protected the formula very tightly and had no chance to do it. In the end, Sylvia only got a batch of purple tungsten steel raw steel ingots.

As Rupert Fitz and the main facilities of Fitz Industry were all trapped in the tide of mutant monsters, the special products of Fitz Industry such as purple tungsten steel were naturally cut off.

Now Sylvia has very little purple tungsten steel on hand. Not long ago, she hoped that Leo could research the formula of purple tungsten steel.

"Who would use a precious metal like purple tungsten steel to make cold weapons?" Sylvia was a little puzzled.

Sylvia's use of purple tungsten steel is very frugal and careful. It is only used on some special equipment, such as airships. It is rarely used in weapon manufacturing, and even weapon manufacturing is used for On those steam machine crossbows, special pistols and other items, because only these weapons need the characteristics of purple tungsten steel such as high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and it seems a bit overkill to use it for cold weapons.

The number of original purple tungsten steel ingots in the world should not be much, and Sylvia should have the largest number, and other countries and forces will only have fewer purple tungsten steel ingots. In this case, I believe a little No one with a little intelligence would be so stupid as to use this special metal to make cold weapons.

"Maybe he has a lot of purple tungsten steel on hand, so much that he can waste it at will." Leo responded to Sylvia's question seemingly casually.

"How is this possible? How could anyone in the world have so much purple tungsten steel, unless..." Sylvia shook her head and denied Leo's guess, but soon her voice stopped abruptly as if she had been frozen, and then A thoughtful expression appeared on her face, and after a while, she said seriously: "You mean that Rupert Fitz didn't die that year?"

Leo nodded slightly, and said: "It's possible, after all, no one has seen the corpse of Rupert Fitz, not even the corpses of Rupert Fitz's cronies and right-hand assistants. Don't you think it's strange that a shrewd person doesn't leave himself a way out before the danger comes?"

Sylvia frowned and said: "After all, that is the center of the outbreak of the monster wave, and even the royal family has fallen..."

"But there are also many ordinary people living there who have escaped, haven't they?" Leo said.

Sylvia did not refute Leo's words, but she still had doubts about Rupert Fitz's survival, because the cold weapon made of purple tungsten steel alone felt that Rupert Fitz was alive. He is thin, and if Rupert Fitz is still alive and rebuilds his power in the Mozambique continent, it is absolutely impossible to completely hide his whereabouts in this environment full of spies and ears, and there will definitely be some Clues and horses were discovered.

"Maybe someone was lucky enough to get Rupert Fitz's inheritance." Leo also seemed to find that the actual evidence of Rupert Fitz's survival was too thin, so he added.

Although Sylvia also thinks that this possibility is very low, because according to her understanding of Rupert Fitz, it is impossible for this kind of person to leave any legacy to future generations, but compared to Rupert Fitz From the guess of survival, the guess of being lucky enough to get an inheritance is more reliable.

However, after thinking for a while, Sylvia still shook her head and said, "If you get an inheritance, why hasn't there been any industry related to Rupert Fitz in the past twenty years? Like purple tungsten As long as something like steel is brought out, it will definitely cause a sensation, and even if you can’t reach the top in the metallurgical industry to build an industry with this, you can still occupy a part of the market share.”

Leo didn't continue to discuss this, because there are too few clues at hand, no matter how you discuss it, it's just a guess. On the contrary, if you start from the other side, you may be able to get more useful clues, so he asked instead: "Did you discover anything just now?"

Leo asked, and Sylvia took out some wood fragments that didn't look like much and handed them to Leo, saying: "This should be the medium used by some kind of spell, can you know what kind of spell it is? "

Leo took it and looked at it, because it was too fragmented, and he couldn't tell what the original shape of the fragments was from the shape, and from the perspective of wood texture and other aspects, these fragments came from at least three different media, It is almost impossible to restore this spell medium with fragments.

Those who slaughtered this tribe should have thought of this, so they didn't take away these distinctive mediums, but for Leo, even if he couldn't piece together a complete spell medium, he could still pass There are other ways to restore this spell.

I saw that he used the spirit net to infiltrate the fragments of the spell medium in his hand, captured the residual energy left in it, and then imitated them one by one with the power of nightmare.

The first two imitated magic powers are very common shaman spells, which should be cast by the shaman of this tribe, but the last magic power imitated by Leo is indeed a wizard spell, and both he and Sylvia are the first Immediately recognized the source of this spell.

"Lawrence!" Leo and Sylvia said in unison.

This magical breath is exactly the unique power breath of the blood wizard Lawrence.

"It seems that this blood wizard should have a lot of secrets." Leo said solemnly.

Sylvia didn't show any abnormal emotions, but said very calmly: "There is a secret for sure. I didn't plan to explore his secrets from the beginning. He and I are not subordinates. More It's a cooperative relationship, I protect him, he does things for me, as long as he can do what I ordered well, I usually don't care about his little secrets." She paused, her expression became serious, Said: "However, this secret is a bit too much now. It seems that after we return to Adoline, we need to find a time to have a good chat with Lawrence."

"I just wanted to..." When Leo was about to say something, he suddenly looked down the Angry Bear Mountain. Sylvia also noticed that she looked there, and then gestured to Leo. A group of black shadows emerged from Leo's body, wrapped the two of them, and moved to the tree not far away, blending perfectly with the shadow under the tree.

Not long after, I saw more than 200 tribal warriors wearing the special wooden armor of the wilderness tribe, carrying weapons, and with obvious marks on their bodies, rushing up from the mountain. They came to the entrance of the tribal camp and saw the inside of the camp. After the tragic situation, more than a dozen people in the middle immediately knelt on the ground, crying loudly, and the despair radiated from them, affecting other people around them.

The other tribal fighters all had extremely gloomy faces. Under the order of the leader, they were well-trained and divided into teams, dispersed, and entered the camp to see if there were any other survivors.

Soon the tribal camp was searched by them, and their faces were so gloomy that they turned black. The tragic situation in the tribe not only shocked them, but also made them angry. They didn't expect the casualties to be so heavy. The entire camp was basically exterminated, and even the children were dismembered.

At this time, several tribal warrior leaders who went around to check the situation led their men back to the leader. At the same time, they also brought back some items, and they spoke in a wilderness tribal language angrily and excitedly. Show some of the items in your hand to the leader and everyone around you.

The dozen or so tribal warriors who were kneeling in agony quickly stood up after hearing the sound, ran to the vicinity, picked up the leader, found an item, took a quick look, and yelled loudly, full of hatred. with a name.

After hearing this name, all the tribal fighters roared angrily as if they had heard the public enemy of the world, and raised their weapons high. On the contrary, the leader who led these tribal fighters looked very calm, He picked up those items and looked at them repeatedly, with a thoughtful look on his face. He knew that the people around him reminded him, so he gave orders to everyone who still seemed extremely excited.

However, the order given by the leader did not seem to be the order that the surrounding tribal fighters wanted, and the faces of the surrounding fighters showed great reluctance until the leader repeatedly issued the same order and emphasized his tone. The soldier gave up his idea, found some wood, collected the corpses, and burned them together.
