The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you think the Temia people should be regarded as a civilization process alone, and not included in the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization? Is there any substantive evidence for your statement?" As a researcher on ancient civilizations in the mainland Neymar, an authority on history, has always been known for his stubbornness. He takes a hostile and critical attitude towards any new theory that is contrary to the history of mainstream civilization development. When he appeared in front of the newcomer, everyone at the party subconsciously He lowered his voice, and then paid a little attention to this side, all looking like he was watching a good show.

Facing the questioning of an authority, Leo appeared very calm. In fact, this was the effect he hoped to achieve, and it was also within his expectation.

If he wants to become famous in the academic world in a short period of time, he must naturally raise some new topics that are eye-catching, but he is just a newcomer in this gathering held by ancient civilization researchers in Cape Xiwangyang, so this topic cannot be discussed. Too shocking, so as not to cause resentment.

In the end, Leo chose a relatively out-of-the-ordinary but attractive topic about the compositional history of the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization.

With the continuous deepening of the study of the history of civilization in the mainland, the history of civilization development in the old continent has been continuously subdivided and summarized, and finally three civilization development history systems have been developed, and the folks have gradually formed a root-seeking craze because of the research of the academic circles. , almost every country hopes to find the root of its own country in these three civilization development history systems.

Among the three civilization development history systems, the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization is the most complicated and one of the most controversial source civilization systems, because this civilization system has not yet found a civilization core, a secondary civilization derived from the entire civilization system There is no unbreakable core connection, and the entire civilization feels as if it has been forcibly blended together by external forces. To this day, the number of people who recognize the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization in the civilization research and academic circles is still far lower than the other two civilization systems.

It is precisely because this civilization system is still controversial, so taking this civilization system as a topic will not arouse disgust and rejection from everyone present, and the Temia people who are the center of the topic are on the edge of this civilization system, and for some reason , The Temia people are called the abandoned gods. They are not allowed to stay on any piece of land for more than ten days. They can only wander non-stop, so their social status is also very low, and it will not cause any bad effects if they are used as a topic. At the same time, it can attract the attention of some authorities and generate sufficiently attractive arguments.

Before coming to this party, Leo had already mastered the detailed information of the well-known academic authorities who participated in this party, and Neymar, who is quite famous in various countries in the mainland, was in his calculations from the very beginning. I will stand in this position and throw such a topic to a group of local wealthy businessmen, hoping to arouse Neymar's doubts.

From the information collected by Sylvia, Leo discovered a little secret about Neymar that is not known to outsiders, that is, Neymar's mother is probably a Temian, that is, Neymar also has Half of the Temian blood, and it was the influence of this half of the blood that made him have a good impression of the Temian, and even lived with the wandering tribe of the Temian for a period of time, and then the Temian was included He is also playing a role in the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization.

Perhaps he thought that doing so would have some good effects on the life of the Temia people, but the result was completely opposite. The statement that the Temia people originated from the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization was included in the actual civilization research materials Afterwards, other Pan-Mirta Basin civilized countries raised strong objections to this, and even most countries showed extreme hostility towards the Temians, publicly expressing that they did not want the wandering tribes of the Temians Entering their country, once they see the Temia tribe, they will all be hanged for illegal entry.

Therefore, from the day when the saying that the Temia people belonged to the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization appeared, the life of the Temia people not only did not improve, but worsened, and this situation also made many people who did not know the truth think that Mal must have hated the Temians extremely, that's why he used this method to frame the Temia tribe.

Because of this, Leo had predicted in advance that as long as a topic related to the Temians was brought up near Neymar, it would 100% attract Neymar's attention, and then have an argument with him, which would become the focus of the party. center of.

"For the time being, I really can't find any evidence to prove that the Temia people do not belong to the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization." Facing Neymar's question, Leo replied calmly, but the content of his answer made people feel a little disappointed , but then his words brought everyone's attention back, "But Mr. Professor, you can't give any evidence that the Temia people belong to the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization?"

"How could there be no evidence?" Neymar retorted: "The dreamcatchers and ten-story totem poles of the Temia people come from the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization. This is evidence that has been confirmed in academia."

"That's right, the dreamcatchers and ten-story totem poles of the Temians come from the civilization of the Pan-Mirta Basin," Leo nodded in agreement with Neymar's rebuttal, but then changed the subject and said, "But it's just Can it prove that these two ancient civilization products are from the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization, but it cannot prove that the Temia people are from the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization?"

Although Leo's words sound a bit convoluted, some rich businessmen around who don't specialize in the study of civilization history, but are just sponsors, are confused and don't understand the difference, but those who study the Pan-Mirta Basin Civilized scholars, especially those who discriminate against the Temians, quickly heard some clues.

One of the scholars said loudly: "You are right. The dream catcher and the ten-story totem pole came from the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization, and they were probably stolen by the Temians as products of their own civilization. You know The Temia people are known for stealing, who knows if the things they claim to be from ancient inheritance are stolen."

These words immediately aroused the response of many people present. They immediately began to accuse the Temians of various crimes, and even attributed some very evil behaviors that did not belong to the Temian culture to the Temians. In the subhuman culture, such as the use of living sacrifices, the theme of the gathering seems to have changed from an academic gathering for the purpose of sponsorship to a denunciation meeting of the Temia people.

This change was somewhat beyond Leo's expectations. Although he knew that the Temians were discriminated against in the old continent, he did not expect the discrimination to be so serious. At this moment, many people present felt that the Temians had blood feuds. Same illusion.

On the other side, Neymar's face became a little ugly. He didn't expect that his casual rebuttal would turn the theme of the party into denouncing the Temians. Regarding the matter of the Pan-Mirta Basin civilization, both of them seemed to have good intentions at the beginning, but the end result was just the opposite.

"Compared to the civilization of the Pan-Mirta Basin, I think the Temia people come from the civilization of the Middle Kingdom." At this time, Leo's voice sounded in the banquet hall. Although his voice was not loud, it was Extremely penetrating, even in such a noisy environment, everyone can still hear clearly.

For a moment, the party hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Leo. The eyes they looked at Leo were not surprised or curious, but more like looking at a fool. Even Neymar It's a similar look.

It's no wonder they showed such expressions, it was because what Leo said made them feel so ridiculous.

As we all know, the civilization in the Middle Kingdom is called the origin of continental civilization. The research on this civilization system has been dug to the extreme. The context of almost all the secondary civilizations extending from the civilization in the Middle Kingdom is very clear. There is no doubt, so Academics also use backwater to describe the study circle of Middle Kingdom regional civilizations.

However, now Leo suddenly said that the discriminated Temia people came from the civilization of the Middle Kingdom, which naturally made many people feel ridiculous, and even thought that Leo was either grandstanding or ignorant.

"Is there any evidence for your statement?" However, Neymar quickly returned to normal and asked a similar question to just now.

"Of course there is evidence." Leo asked the waiter for a pen and paper, and under the gaze of everyone, he quickly drew a pattern and stuck it on the wall.

Among them, several scholars engaged in the study of civilization in the Middle Kingdom quickly recognized the pattern as a mysterious pattern that appeared in large numbers in an ancient kingdom excavated a few months ago. The reason why they say it is a mysterious pattern is because researchers have They didn't decipher the meaning of the pattern, nor did they find the corresponding pattern from other materials, as if this mysterious pattern was a unique mark of this ruin.

Afterwards, Leo quickly drew several similar patterns and pasted them on the back of the original pattern one by one. Everyone present could see that the subsequent patterns were variations of the original mysterious pattern. Every changing texture has traces to follow.

When Leo drew the tenth variant pattern, Neymar suddenly let out an exclamation, and then other scholars present who had studied the Temian culture all also exclaimed in unison, one of them He even revealed the answer directly, saying, "It's the holy emblem of Temia."

When everyone heard the words, they all had surprised expressions on their faces, and they all looked at the series of patterns drawn by Leo in unison. Although there was a big difference in shape between the first pattern and the last pattern, but in After seeing the variant patterns in the middle, even the dullest person can clearly feel that these two patterns are one pattern.

"Impossible, this can't be true!" A scholar from the Middle Kingdom suddenly yelled and rushed forward, tore off all the patterns pasted on the wall, and then yelled at Leo: "You are You are fabricating academics! What is your intention and why are you doing this?"

It is no wonder that this scholar will show a fierce attitude. People in the Middle Kingdom have always believed that they are the origin of civilization on the mainland, and they think that they are superior to people in other parts of the mainland in terms of race and civilization.

The other kingdoms on the mainland are naturally extremely dissatisfied with this, and often use various methods to attack the authority of the Middle Kingdom region, but no matter what method they can never shake the core position of civilization in the Middle Kingdom region.

However, if the Temia people, who are notorious throughout the continent, are related to the civilization of the Middle Kingdom, then this will undoubtedly be a blow to the core civilization of the Middle Kingdom.

What this scholar who tried to maintain the authority of the Middle Kingdom did was in line with Leo's wishes, so when faced with the other party's doubts, he said very seriously: "I am just expounding an academic point of view, which is what you want There are too many, and your behavior is not like that of a civilized person. If you have any objections to my views, please use your professional academics to refute me instead of tearing up these academic proofs like a rogue. You You may be able to tear off the paper, but can you erase the memory of everyone present? If not, what you did just now will only make you look like a clown."

Hearing Leo's words, and seeing the eyes of everyone around him looking over, the scholar didn't know if he really didn't get used to it for a while, he was out of breath, or he wanted to get rid of this embarrassing situation. He flipped over and passed out, but the people walking with him immediately stepped forward to help him, shouting loudly, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

After this incident, the party naturally couldn't continue, and the people who attended the party left one after another. Leo, who was the focus of everyone, also apologized to the party organizer, and then declined several people who wanted to continue the discussion with him. Invited by a Temia scholar, he left the party directly.

Although Leo left, the topic he caused did not weaken. Those scholars who left the party gathered again in a private club near the Cape of the West Ocean College, discussing whether the Temia people came from the Middle Kingdom The topic of region, and this topic has also attracted the attention of other non-professional scholars in the clubhouse. In this way, this topic is like a stone thrown into stagnant water, causing waves of ripples and spreading outward.

At this time, Leo also became the object of everyone's inquiries, but they found that there was too little information about Leo. They only knew that Leo was from the northern region, was traveling around the world with his wife and students, and had just returned from the New World. , I feel that the academic atmosphere of Cape West College is very strong, and I plan to live here for a period of time before continuing to travel north, so I don’t know any more detailed information.

Another piece of information is that Leo is very rich. All his research projects are funded by himself, and he does not need to seek sponsorship from the outside world. He is even willing to sponsor some research projects he is interested in, and the sponsorship will be very large.
