The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The fact that the owner of Belmont Manor was leaving Beruk City suddenly caused quite a commotion in the upper class of Beruk City. Most people heard the news and thought it was a rumor, because in their opinion , the couple's career in Beruk has just started, and it is developing rapidly. They have already established a firm foothold in Beruk City, and their influence is not much worse than that of the old local dignitaries. Under such circumstances, they choose to leave. Why? It makes people feel a little absurd.

However, as Sylvia began to clean up the servants hired in the manor, those who were willing to leave with them were sent to Josh County, and those who were unwilling to follow them were compensated with a severance pay, the upper class of Beruk City realized that Realizing that the rumor was true, the doubts in my heart became more and more intense.

Not to mention Leo Dodd, who stayed in the manor most of the time, Sylvia, as his wife, has been a man of the hour in Beruk City recently. It is no exaggeration to say that in just one month, In time, she has become the female leader of Beruk City, and all the women-related clubs and political groups in the city can see her figure. If Sylvia enters politics at this time, she can definitely rely on this influence Get a seat on the city council.

In addition, the situation of the smelters is also very good. The newly merged smelters have formed a smelting group, which has almost monopolized more than 70% of the steel production in Beiruk City, and the market share is still increasing. According to estimates, at most only It takes two months for Leo and Sylvia's smelting group to completely monopolize the steel market in Beruk City.

In such a good situation, the two of them wanted to leave. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed weird, so many people began to use their relationship to inquire about the situation.

Soon some well-informed people got some information, and they also understood that the departure of Leo and Sylvia was related to the federal government, and their careers were not suppressed, on the contrary, they were even better, and they were even more successful than they imagined. good.

For example, the smelter is no longer limited to the city of Beruk, but the entire Outer Federation, because the federal government has planned to merge the smelters in the surrounding counties and cities into the smelting group of Beruk, and Judging from the follow-up trend, sooner or later the smelters in other counties and cities in the Federation will be merged together.

Although it seems that in this way, Leo and Sylvia lost control of the smelting group, but they still hold fixed shares in their hands, that is to say, no matter how large the group expands in the end, the two of them The proportion of shares will not be reduced, which is undoubtedly a big deal for Leo and Sylvia in the eyes of most people.

In addition, there is a secret cooperation agreement between Leo and the federal government. Since it can be called a secret, its importance to the federal government is self-evident. This undoubtedly means that Leo, a foreigner, has entered the federal government. From the high-level perspective, as long as Leo doesn't make any mistakes, then he can be said to have a bright future in the Federation.

Soon related news spread in the upper class of Beruk City. Many dignitaries felt envious and jealous of Leo and Sylvia, especially those government officials who were underappreciated. They tried their best to hope that they could enter In the eyes of federal government officials, they got the opportunity to work in the federal government, but they never succeeded. Now two foreigners have got the opportunity they dreamed of, which inevitably has some impact on their mentality.

Fortunately, even though the vast majority of people are full of jealousy, they dare not play tricks on the departure of Leo and Sylvia. Instead, they try their best to cooperate and solve the difficulties they encountered when they moved, such as not having enough money. Wagons to carry their belongings and so on.

Although Sylvia has decided to leave Beruk City, she has no intention of completely giving up the relationship network she has established in Beruk City. In fact, the clubs and clubs she joined in Beruk City There is also a branch in the federal capital, so she intends to continue to consolidate this relationship, which may be able to be used in the federal capital.

Just before Sylvia was about to leave, she was still expanding her influence, and when she was wandering around various women's clubs, clubs and political groups in Beruk City, Leo, as her husband, was not in Beruk at the moment. In the urban area, it was no longer the Belmont Manor, but rented a sailing speedboat alone, and sailed into the depths of Belluk Lake.

The purpose of Leo's solitary entry into the depths of Lake Beruk this time was mainly for the armed forces of the gods who participated in the church's loss here during the religious wars.

In the one-third of the weapon research materials that Leo obtained, because the prototype of the weapon was a reference to a certain weapon in the religious war that year, some related content was more or less mentioned in the materials.

Although there are not many of these contents, they have already formed a chain of clues, helping Leo to connect other fragmented materials in the database related to the religious war that year, and finally formed a roughly complete religion. War History.

What was the cause of the war back then, and which churches did they participate in? There is no answer from the information Leo compiled, but it is certain that the cause of the war was definitely not because of beliefs or doctrines. From the perspective of the war process, , it's more like fighting for something.

The thing that was contested has changed hands between various churches several times, and what is interesting is that no matter who seized it, it has not been able to leave the current territory of the Otter Federation. When it is about to be taken away, it will be taken away by another Church snatches.

In the end, the area where the current Beruk Lake is located became the final battle in which all the churches participated, and there was a very clear message in this battle, that is, the armed forces of the gods of those churches participated, and the gods The users of the armed forces also died in the final destruction that caused Lake Beruk, and the weapons of the gods were also scattered in Lake Beruk. Also lost in Lake Beruk was the unknown item that triggered the war. .

The prototype of the Otto federal government's research and development of weapons of mass destruction should be a certain god's weapon, but it is not known which god's weapon it is. Although Leo is also capable of developing other types of weapons of mass destruction, the research and development The knowledge of those weapons is too advanced, and the tools that need to be used also need to be made temporarily, which will take too much unnecessary time, so Leo decided to make what they need according to the ideas that the Otto Federation already has. weapons of mass destruction.

In a sense, the armament of the gods is like the god-given artifact of the Vinylon world, but it is not completely, because there are many types of artifacts in the Vinylon world, most of which are only auxiliary artifacts, and few directly An artifact used to attack, and all the gods in this world are armed with weapons used to attack.

It is mentioned in a book recorded from the Hans family manor that most of the church's gods armed with long swords are in the form of long swords, and can only be used by a specific person, and this person needs to pass some kind of Ceremony, only after implanting the power of the gods can be considered qualified.

This made Leo think of the ceremony of the Spirit Society, because judging from the final result of that ceremony, it seems that it is not only stealing the power of the gods, but also creating users who correspond to the church's gods.

Although many years have passed since the religious war that year, and the center of the war has become a lake, the immortality of the gods' weapons shows that as long as these weapons are not completely destroyed, they should be preserved, Leo I just want to use my spiritual network to perceive, and use this method of finding a needle in a haystack to see if I can find a piece of godly weapon, or find some fragments of the godly weapon.

However, his search area was not randomly selected, but the result of precise calculations based on various data. According to his calculations, the big rift he is going to now should be the most likely place where gods or weapons are buried. Shards of land.

Leo chose this place because he judged that this place should be the center of the huge destruction. It is more likely that there are gods armed in this water area and the surrounding waters than other areas. Of course, this is not absolute, because there is also a kind of Possibly, the gods' armed forces were thrown to other places by the shock wave created by the huge damage.

The Great Fissure of Lake Beiruk is a very famous place. It is located in the center of Lake Beiruk and is also the deepest place in Lake Beiruk. The shallowest part of the entire area is more than 50 meters long. The deepest large fissure even Can't get to the bottom.

The reason why it is famous is not because the water in this area is very deep, but because there is a kind of purple pearl produced here. Only the screw shells living in this water area can produce this kind of pearl. Because the output is very rare, the price has always been high. No more.

Because there is no recognized ownership of this water area, this water area belongs to the owner of Beiruk City, as long as the citizens of Beiruk City can rent a boat to salvage pearls in this water area.

However, because the production of purple pearls is small, even if the price is high, the final benefits are not amazing, so they are not regarded by the rich and powerful in Beiruk City.

As for the ordinary people in Beiruk City, they don't have the time and spare money to rent a boat to try their luck on the water, not to mention that the water here is too deep for ordinary people to dive to the bottom, and there are many ferocious fish in this water area, so Ordinary people have never thought of gaining benefits from this.

Some powerful gangsters in Beiruk City regard this place as their own cornucopia, and each occupy a piece of water to salvage purple pearls. In order not to lose the waters under their control, even if it is not the pearl production period, they also send some ships to station themselves In the controlled waters, some ships are even connected to the city, forming a small floating city on the water, so that some things that are not suitable for solving on the shore can be solved here.

When Leo arrived in this water area, he happened to meet a patrol boat of a gangster in Beruk City, but this patrol boat didn't cause trouble for Leo, but let Leo pass, because Leo's The boat is a recreational sailing speedboat, not a salvage boat with deep diving equipment. In addition, Leo's boat was borrowed from the Hans family, with the Hans family's badge on it, as a way to be able to use it in Beiruk City. Gangsters that survive for a long time naturally need guidance on who to mess with and who not to mess with.

After arriving at the predetermined water area, Leo tried to release the spirit net to scan the bottom of the water. Because the spirit net was used indirectly through another auxiliary method, the range and accuracy decreased to varying degrees. This water area contains an extremely powerful interference energy, which makes the feedback Leo finally receives very vague. It needs additional analysis and comparison to determine whether there is an abnormal energy object in the scanning location, which will undoubtedly slow down Leo's search speed, so from arriving at the predetermined water area to discovering the first abnormal energy object, he spent a total of ten hours.

This fragment of abnormal energy is not the fragment of the god's armament that Leo expected, but a bone of a fish creature. This fish should have produced some kind of special energy radiation during its lifetime, and its body has mutated. The energy is integrated into its bones, causing this bone to produce high-energy metamorphosis, and finally become a piece of high-energy matter, and it is also a piece of extremely high-energy matter.

Although no god armament or armament fragments were found, the abnormal energy fragment found now is good news for Leo, because this extremely high-energy substance indicates that a special energy has existed in this water area for a long time Radiation source, and this radiation source is likely to be a certain god armed.

Afterwards, Leo did not continue to search blindly, but carefully compared the shape of this fish bone, and analyzed through the database that this bone should be a bone named silver line sawtooth knifefish.

This silver-lined sawtooth knifefish is a special fish of Lake Beruk. It was originally a saltwater fish in some waters near the sea in the lower reaches of Lake Beruk. However, with the formation of Lake Beruk, these fish flowed upstream. On the other hand, they settled in Lake Beruk, and then multiplied and transformed into freshwater fish.

The only difference between this fish and its saltwater cousin the sawtooth knifefish is the presence of three silvery lines along the spine of its back.

During the daytime, the silver line sawtooth knifefish will go out of the water, allowing the three silver lines on its back to absorb the sunlight. At night, it will dive into the depths of the water. Groups of predators.

Because sawtooth knifefish are all hunting habits, they are also the most dangerous fish in this water, and will even prey on any large creature, including humans, when they are hungry.

There are many habitats for the silver-line sawtooth knifefish in Lake Beruk, but there is only one place where the silver-line sawtooth knifefish exists in the current waters, and that is a place called the blue hole in the northern part of the waters.

After analyzing the data, Leo immediately turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the blue hole, hoping to find the radiation source that could transform the silver-lined saury.
