The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In fact, Leo and Sylvia don't need to analyze the ancient texts, investigate the mayor's information and other methods to investigate this incident involving extraordinary power. They have a more efficient and direct method to investigate this matter. , and take no more than a day,

This method is actually very simple. It is to directly find the body of the first mayor who died of a curse, directly extract the residual curse power from the corpse, and then trace the source of the curse power to find the person who cast the curse.

And the reason why they didn't use this direct method, but the method of using non-supernatural power, is to hide the fact that they have supernatural power, and to give people who come into contact with them an assumption of scholar status.

They don't know the situation of Teresa Kingdom now, and naturally they don't want their situation to be known by the people of Teresa Kingdom. Properly hiding some abilities can also give them more cards to use when accidents happen.

Just when Delkan sent someone to the investigation team of the Kingdom of Teresa to second the mayor's qualifications because of the clues discovered by Leo. The clue case feels extremely headache.

As the leader of the investigation team, Merkel's mood has reached the extreme, and he doesn't like anything. Even a beautiful mechanical pocket watch that he bought from the Academy City at a cost of a while ago has become ugly and hateful in his eyes. The urge to smash it up.

He knew very well that his emotion was wrong, but he couldn't vent it, because he asked for it completely. Originally, he could choose a simpler and easier task as a trial task for his promotion, but it turned out that Because of face, he chose this damn mission in a fit of anger. As a result, he has no clue about the investigation until now, and has been stuck in Dashu Town for several months. It seems that the trial time will come in a few days.

If he can't complete the task in the past few days and doesn't investigate the cause of the mayor's curse, then he may fail this trial mission, and the next promotion trial will be several years later, and he needs to complete it. Double the regular tasks to get another chance to be promoted.

His two colleagues also knew about his situation, so they tried their best to find any relevant clues during this time, but they still found nothing.

"Do you really want to ask that guy for help?" Merkel said to herself for the fifty-seventh time after pressing the urge to crush the pocket watch in her hand again.

In fact, he still has another way to solve the current problem. This way is very simple is to find a helper, and there happens to be a very powerful helper who is investigating another incident involving extraordinary power near Dashu Town. It only takes half a day to send the letter He was able to invite that person over, and based on his understanding of that person's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the mayor's curse.

But he is also very clear that owing that person's favor is like borrowing money from a usury. In the end, he may have to pay a far higher price than expected. Among the people he knows, in order to repay that person's favor, he eventually went bankrupt. , I haven't recovered yet.

Just when Merkel was hesitating, one of his colleagues suddenly said, "I know that Viper is investigating the case in the nearby Long Tomb Village, why don't we ask him to come over and help?"

This colleague's proposal just coincides with what Merkel is thinking now. Viper is the nickname of that helper. As for his real name, only a few high-level officials such as the director of the investigation bureau know. Some people speculate about this person. Maybe it has something to do with the royal family, or maybe a member of the royal family came to the Bureau of Investigation for a trial.

Just like its nickname, Viper's attacks are quick and vicious, and his targets are not only his enemies, but also his companions. It is said that he followed seven investigation teams one after another, and these seven investigation teams were all in the end. He was disbanded because of the heavy loss of personnel, and now he is the only lone ranger in the investigation bureau, because no investigation team dared to accept this person.

Just when Merkel began to seriously consider this proposal that fit her heart, another colleague said with a shocked face: "You are crazy, let that guy help, don't you think we are all alive enough? You know How did the ninth team disband? It was that guy who used his team members as bait to detonate a banned powerful heresy. As a result, when the team members fought with the heresy, he ran out to clean up the mess and snatch it. All the credit. I don't want another backstabber around me. If you guys do get that guy involved, I'll push it out. I'd rather have one more failure on my resume than work with that guy. "

Seeing the categorical attitude of his colleagues, Merkel and the other person did not say anything.

At this time, the attendant assigned by the military camp to the investigation team suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, and then reported to the three that the academic exchange team of the school city had sent someone to borrow information about the mayor who died under the curse.

Merkel asked with a blank face: "Exchange team? What do those scholars want these materials for?"

The colleagues around me seemed to remember something, and said: "I remember that in the morning, some scholars sent people to tell me that they wanted to assist in the investigation of the mayor's curse. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. It’s just to add some social practice experience to the apprentices.” After speaking, he was stunned again, and said: “Now it seems that they may have discovered something?”

"Discovered? How could there be any discovery?" Another person expressed disbelief and said, "We have been investigating here for several months. More than a dozen churches, including the Church of Justice, have sent paladins or heretic hunters here to investigate. In the end, no clues were found at all, and now the scholars from the academy have only been here for less than a day, and the official investigation took less than three hours to find clues, do you think this is possible?"

"How is it impossible?" The man retorted: "Our method and process of investigating this matter are based on past experience and habits. These experiences and habits may make us ignore some clues that do not conform to our experience, and teach those people It’s similar to our situation. Scholars in these academy cities are now investigating this matter from a completely different perspective, and they may be able to find some clues that we have missed.”

The colleague was a little displeased and said: "I know you admire those scholars in the academy city, but you don't have to exaggerate their ability and knowledge. No matter how powerful they are, they are just ordinary people."

The man said displeasedly, "I'm just explaining the facts, not..."

"Okay!" Merkel interrupted the conversation between the two, ended the conversation that might cause controversy, and then thought for a while and said: "Come on, let's send the materials over in person, and see if the scholars Really found a useful lead."

Seeing that Merkel had already made a decision, the other two in the investigation team did not say anything, so the three of them left the Corps barracks with the materials and the students who came to seconded the materials, entered the town, and came straight to the town. In the official residence.

Seeing that the people from the investigation team sent the materials in person, Delkan and other scholars were a little surprised, but they didn't pay too much attention. They greeted Merkel and the others, and after notifying each other of their identities, they took Go to the study with the materials and prepare to hand them over to Leo and Sylvia for review.

"What? The people who found the clues were two foreigners?" Merkel was a little surprised after inquiring about the situation.

"Scholars, they are all foreign scholars, not the foreigners you say." A scholar seemed to be dissatisfied with Merkel's attitude towards the Leo couple, frowning, and retorted.

Merkel and the other two members of the investigation team looked at the scholar with some surprise, and then looked at other scholars around who also showed dissatisfaction. They were faintly curious about the foreign couple they met by chance, because they It is very clear how arrogant and withdrawn these scholars are in front of other people, but now these scholars show such obvious respect to two foreigners who have only known each other for a few days, which makes them all feel incredible.

So, with curiosity, the three members of the investigation team followed Delkan to the study, just in time to see Delkan handing over the information to Leo who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing the three members of the investigation team come in, Delkan just frowned, and then formally introduced the identities of the three members of the investigation team to Leo and Silvia, and then introduced Leo and Hill to the three members of the investigation team Via's identity, but the change in attitude during the introduction was extremely obvious, which made the three members of the investigation team feel a little annoyed and aggrieved.

However, they quickly adjusted their emotions and focused on Leo and Silvia.

Compared with the identities of the traveling scholars introduced by Delkan, they believed in their own experience and judgment, and they judged from the behavior and special temperament of Leo and Silvia that these two people were definitely not a pair of ordinary foreigners. Husband and wife, the two of them probably have extremely noble identities, because they have only felt the special temperament of the two in front of them in a few people, and those few people are undoubtedly exceptions with extremely high identities.

In their opinion, Leo's husband is nothing more than that. Although he also has that special temperament, it is not strong. On the contrary, the temperament of Sylvia as his wife even forms an invisible power, making him Anyone who can feel this kind of temperament has a feeling of being suppressed. Under the influence of this feeling, they can't help but lower their heads and dare not look at each other too presumptuously, just like facing the boss's subordinates .

Although they knew that their emotions were not right, they had no way to solve them, because their keen perception made it impossible for them to block this kind of power. On the contrary, scholars who are ordinary people would not be affected in any way.

In fact, compared to the surprise and doubt in the hearts of the other two members of the investigation team, Merkel was more shocked, and this kind of shock came after he saw the lady named Sylvia. It came out of my heart instantly, because this female scholar from a foreign country is very similar to a noble lady he once saw, and according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for that lady to appear abroad, let alone become a foreigner. wife.

Although the three members of the investigation team concealed their emotional changes very well and did not let them turn into facial expressions, this kind of cover-up was useless to Leo and Sylvia. The two clearly understood from the investigation team The analysis of the subtle movements of several people infers the emotional changes of the three at the moment.

It's just that they didn't care too much, because they could feel the energy fluctuations generated by the extraordinary power of the three of them, so they judged that the three of them must have been suppressed by the blood of their superiors to produce such emotional changes. There are other reasons.

After receiving the mayor's information, Leo quickly read it, handed it to Sylvia, and then asked Merkel: "Leader Merkel, you investigate the mayor of Jason. At that time, did you investigate the origin of the mayor?"

Merkel did not show any resistance to Leo's question. Instead, she replied as if she was reporting to her boss: "Of course I have investigated it. The mayor is from Yinguoshu, Taurun Province, Kingdom of Aden. Town, we also sent people to investigate, and found nothing unusual."

"No abnormality found?" At this time, Sylvia also put down the information in her hand, looked at the three members of the investigation team with some disdain, and said: "Such an obvious abnormality is written on it, and you didn't even notice it. Disappointing."

The three members of the investigation team were bewildered after hearing this, and didn't understand what Sylvia was talking about, and those scholars were also curious about what Sylvia said, so they picked up the mayor's information one after another and quickly looked through it. Again, but like the three members of the investigation team, these scholars also did not find any abnormalities.

"Before the mayor of Jason was transferred to Dashu Town to become the mayor, he had been working in Tao Lun Province and had never left Tao Lun Province. Even if he traveled, he was only in the surrounding areas, and Tao Lun Province Lunxing province is located in a basin, the climate is warm and humid, and there is no snow even in winter, but the medical records of the mayor of Jason have recorded that he has very severe Patillo's disease, which only appears in the north Severe cold regions are a special disease caused by living in extremely cold regions for a long time. A person who lives in a warm region all the year round has a disease that only occurs in cold regions. What do you think is the reason for this? "

"Is this Mayor Jason a fake?" Before the three members of the investigation team could speak, a scholar immediately exclaimed.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the room. They were all surprised by this discovery, and the three members of the investigation team also looked embarrassed. They never thought that the mayor who had served in Dashu Town for more than ten years was actually a fake. Not only did they not think of it, the people who came to investigate this matter before did not think of it.

At this time, Leo turned to Delkan and said, "Mr. Delkan, do you still remember the ancient text we discovered earlier?"

"Of course I remember." Delkan responded immediately.

Leo followed the prompt and said: "The arrangement of the ancient texts is very special, which is different from the conventional arrangement."

Delkan was stunned when he heard the words, and after a moment of contemplation, he seemed to think of something, and said with surprise: "I see, it's the Taminque arrangement, and this arrangement is the only Tamin in the northern snowfield area." gram arrangement."
