The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"How could it be here? Impossible, how is this possible?" Viper, whose face was full of disbelief, couldn't help muttering to himself.

The people around who were originally intimidated by Viper's creepy temperament felt even more frightened when they saw the man talking, and they all made room to avoid getting too close to Viper.

Viper naturally also noticed the performance of the people around him, but he didn't have the time to pay attention to the views and reactions of these people. He was completely stunned by the person he saw at the moment.

Because in his opinion, this person should never appear here, let alone the name Sylvia, and this person's knowledge is outstanding even in his family, but it is not outstanding enough to be able to A group of academics from the Academy City were able to argue to the point of admitting defeat.

"No, it's not her!" After doubts arose in his heart, Viper also quickly discovered some things that did not match the image in his memory, such as temperament. Obviously, the temperament of Ms. Sylvia in front of her was more mature and more mature. Noble, and has an invisible power that makes him feel suffocated just by looking at it. He has felt this feeling from the elders of the family, but in terms of intensity, this Ms. Sylvia obviously exceeds Too much.

I don’t know if it’s because the scene of a circle of people around Viper is too abrupt, or because his line of sight is too obvious, or because of other reasons, Sylvia, who is talking about the pros and cons of the church-state system, inadvertently He glanced at Viper.

However, in the face of Sylvia's gaze, Viper felt the pressure on his body instantly increase dozens of times. He couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground and express his surrender to the other party.

Fortunately, the other party's gaze didn't stay for too long, it just swept away, and the pressure on his body disappeared quickly, and he also felt his back was cold, and his clothes were already wet with sweat at that moment .

Viper, who was full of horror in his heart, didn't dare to think about the questions related to the person in front of him, and didn't dare to stay here any longer. He immediately jumped off the chair, then lowered his head, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and headed towards the hotel. go outside.

However, when he just walked out of the hotel, he felt a lot more relaxed, and began to recall the scene just now, thinking about what happened, the quiet streets around made him instantly alert.

When he first entered the hotel, the street was very noisy with people coming and going, but now it was empty, not even a bird or animal could be seen.

Viper, who noticed something was wrong, looked back at the hotel behind him, and found that the hotel door had been closed at some point, and at the same time, he could not hear any sound coming from the hotel, as if he was in an abandoned town now .

Viper, who sensed something was wrong, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, quickly picked up a bottle of potion hanging on his belt and drank it, then pulled out the saber from his waist with one hand, took down the family's special rune shotgun with the other, and walked slowly to the In the middle of the street, observing the surroundings.

Soon, under the action of the medicine, his eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils similar to snake eyes, and at the same time, there was a circle of fine scales around the eyes, and under the blessing of the sight of this special eye, he also saw Clarified some hidden powers hidden around.

I saw that, in his eyes, the surrounding streets and houses disappeared, and he was in an open space surrounded by strange symbols. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of these symbols, he could feel the meaning contained in the symbols. This kind of power is stronger than the power contained in the runes on the rune shotgun in his hand, and it seems to be somewhat similar to those runes.

At this time, a man wearing knight costumes and a girl who was mostly a hunter walked in from outside the barrier formed by the runes.

When Viper saw the male knight, Viper immediately thought of the paladin of the church that he hated the most. The knight's long sword on his waist made the old wound on his back ache. Intention, standing there like this, but it still brought more pressure to him, making him feel that as long as he made a slight abnormal movement, he would be attacked like a storm.

"Teacher wants to see you. Do you want to go with us by yourself, or we will beat you down and take you away." At this time, the girl who looked no different from a country girl said.

Although his dignity made him want to resist, his rationality told him not to make any offensive moves. Since the other party can silently let him fall into this shielding circle, it is not difficult to make him lose his mobility Well, rather than being beaten and taken away with injuries all over his body, it is better to let the other party leave honestly, at least he still has a chance to escape without being injured.

Seeing that Viper agreed to leave, and the two did not impose any restrictions on him, the girl directly took away the rune magic circle that created the shielding seal, and the three returned to the street where people came and went, and then the two took Viper returned to the hotel, came to a room, signaled Viper to wait in the room, then turned and left, as if not worried that Viper would take this opportunity to escape.

After waiting for about an hour or so, Viper sat down on the sofa in the room like a needle felt, stood up, and then walked around. He wanted to jump out of the window several times, but he finally suppressed it. This impulsiveness, although the paladin and the hunter girl were the reason that prevented him from leaving, it was more because of the fact that he was curious about this person who wanted to see him.

When he sat on the sofa in the living room for the tenth time, the sound of the door opening sounded in the room, and he bounced off the sofa in an instant, while looking towards the door, and when he saw the person entering the room clearly, Immediately lowered his head again, his heart was filled with tension.

The man who entered the room first was not the cause of his reaction, but the woman who followed the man, because the two who entered the room were Leo and Sylvia who were in the living room before.

"Is he?" After entering the room, Leo casually looked at Viper standing nervously in the room, and then turned to Sylvia and asked.

"Should be." Sylvia nodded, then walked up to Viper, and asked directly, "Are you from the Belmont family?"

"What should I call you? Your Excellency the Duke, or Your Highness?" Facing Sylvia's inquiry, Viper tried to keep himself as calm as possible. He did not answer Sylvia's question directly, but Asked tentatively.

"I'm more used to others calling me Your Majesty." Sylvia said truthfully, but the country where she was the queen was not in this world.

However, after hearing Sylvia's words, Viper did not question it, because in his eyes, whether it was the appearance that matched his memory, or the unique majestic temperament and invisible coercion, the person in front of him showed that Knowing that the identity of the woman in front of her can only be that Majesty.

However, he was immediately confused again, because the majesty in front of him was obviously much more mature than the one he remembered, and the deterrence from his blood was also much stronger, and as usual, the majesty's whereabouts were all the same. Under the protection of the guards, it should be impossible to leave the kingdom silently and come to a place outside the kingdom.

At this time, a bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind, that is, there are two majesties in the kingdom, and these two majesties often switch identities with each other, one leaves the kingdom and plays outside as an ordinary person, and the other sits in the kingdom and continues Be her queen.

This kind of thing sounds absurd, as if it is a story from some third-rate scripts, but it actually happened, but the truth is hidden, and most people don't know it, and more than one king or grand duke of a country has done this .

Thinking of this, Viper thought that he had discovered a big secret that he shouldn't know, so he couldn't help lowering his head slightly to avoid looking directly at the other party, just like a subject meeting a king.

Sylvia also noticed the change in the expression on Viper's face and the obvious change in attitude. She didn't understand what was going on for the time being, but she felt that this should be a good thing for herself. The members of the Belmont family who showed a surrender attitude asked more things.

In fact, two days ago, Sylvia asked Joan and Petunia to keep a close eye on that person when she found out that Joan found out that someone in the nearby Long Tomb Village had the transformed badge of the Belmont family on their sword. And also from various channels, such as the three-person investigation team, I know that this person is also a member of the Theresa Kingdom Investigation Bureau, nicknamed Viper, and likes to find various opportunities to make people owe others debts. No one knows.

Originally, Sylvia planned to meet this Viper in the past two days to see if he was a member of the Belmont family in this world, but what he didn't expect was that the other party went to Dashu Town by himself, and even sent his hands Let's find out how the three-person investigation team found out about the incident of the mayor's curse, and then sent it to the door himself.

At that time in the living room, although the Viper was still outside the living room, Sylvia had already sensed him, and could confirm that this person must be Belmont, because the abyss dragon hidden on the other party There will be no fake blood.

Therefore, Sylvia signaled Leo to let Penny and Joan take action and keep this person, and only then did the current meeting take place.

"You haven't answered me yet, are you from the Belmont family?" Sylvia repeated the previous question, but this time she exerted a little bit of coercion from the superior.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am Belmont who came out to practice this time. My name is Sheldon Belmont, and I am the grandson of Oakland Belmont, a member of the Wing Wing family." The coercion on the bloodline, the Viper who had already mistook Sylvia for a certain queen could not lie in front of the other party, so not only admitted his identity, but also added his name and family history.

After hearing Viper's self-introduction, Sylvia frowned slightly. Although the other party didn't talk much, she had already heard some things about the internal affairs of the Belmont family. For example, there were different internal affairs in the Belmont family. Separation, this situation is very similar to the Belmont family in the Velen world, and this sense of familiarity also reminded her of some bad things. For example, the Belmont family in the Velen world gradually declined due to continuous separation. of.

Sylvia sat next to Leo, took a glass of fruit wine, and continued to ask him: "Tell me about the Belmont family in detail, I want to know."

After hearing this question, Viper couldn't help being stunned, because it stands to reason that the person in front of him should be far more familiar with the Belmont family than he is. After all, the other party grew up in the castle, and he just lived in the castle. In the family village outside the castle, they have only been to the castle four times over the years.

But soon he felt that he misunderstood Sylvia's question. He thought that what Sylvia asked was not about the castle, but about the Wing Wing family he belonged to. Big, with the mentality of the members of the main family inside the castle, how could they be interested in the branch families outside the castle? It is even more impossible to tell the noble man in front of him about the branch family.

At this time, he suddenly felt excited, thinking that this might be an opportunity for the Shuangyiyi family. He could use this opportunity to allow his family to directly bypass the main family and contact the royal family, so as to let the Shuangyiyi family have a better relationship with the royal family. The influence is greater.

Thinking of this, Viper also became a little excited. After sorting out the rhetoric in his heart, he began to seriously introduce his family to Sylvia, especially the family history and blood purity, etc. Although the content was close to It is true, but the description is slightly exaggerated, so as to attract Sylvia's extra attention.

When Viper revealed the details of his family to Sylvia without any concealment, both Sylvia and Leo were surprised by Viper's performance, because in their opinion, even if there was blood suppression And the deterrence of strength, the other party should not be so honest to reveal all the secrets of their own family. Now this Viper feels like a traitor who can't wait to betray his family.

"How did you do it?" Leo turned to look at Sylvia while listening to Viper's description of his family's situation, and gestured with his eyes.

Sylvia shrugged, saying that she didn't understand why this happened.

At first, the two thought it was weird for Viper to reveal his family's affairs so readily. Maybe what he said was fake information that had been prepared long ago, just to deal with the persecution.

However, as Viper's narration continued to deepen, Sylvia and Leo asked each other some questions, disrupting each other's thinking, or re-inquiring about slightly off-topic content, to see if the other party memorized the information, or it was true. In short, after some tests, they all confirmed that Viper was not memorizing materials, but was really recalling and telling about his family based on Sylvia's questions.
