The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who was on the side, never made a sound. He just watched Sylvia calmly handing over the patriarch ring of the Belmont family to the Duke of Belmont, but he still felt a little puzzled by Sylvia's move, because He remembered that Sylvia mentioned that there was a big secret hidden in this patriarch's ring, but she had never discovered what the secret was. Leo had tried various methods, but it also failed, so this ring For Sylvia, the patriarch's ring is not just a status symbol, but also has other importance.

But now Sylvia gave the patriarchal ring to the Duke of Belmont so easily, which made Leo feel that Sylvia's move might have other meanings, so he wanted to wait for the opportunity to ask why .

Because of the patriarch's ring, the tense atmosphere caused by the first Dean of Academic City just now has also eased, and the Duke of Belmont and Queen Teresa no longer seem so tense and serious.

"Why did you react so nervously when we mentioned the first Dean of Academic City, can you tell us the reason?" Sylvia took the opportunity to ask.

Hearing Sylvia's question, Queen Teresa and Duke Belmont looked at each other, as if they were exchanging opinions. After a while, Queen Teresa said: "The first dean of Academic City In fact, it is related to a scandal with the Belmont family and Theresa's royal family, and that person has committed an unforgivable crime. In order to avoid accountability from the church, all information about the first dean of Academic City All are sealed in Belmont Castle, and only a few people can read them."

Queen Teresa briefly explained the situation, but it seemed that she did not intend to tell Leo and Xi what unforgivable crime the first Dean of Academic City committed and what kind of scandal he was involved in. Sylvia listens.

Leo and Silvia knew that this might involve the most taboo matters of the Belmont family and Theresa's royal family, and it might even be related to the survival of the two families. It's not enough to let them know such an important secret of the two families. If they continue to ask, there may be problems in the newly established easing relationship.

So, Leo changed the direction and asked directly: "Is the first Dean of Academic City named Rupert Fitz?"

When Leo said the name Rupert Fitz, the faces of the Duke of Belmont and Queen Teresa changed slightly, and then they showed surprise again, followed Duke Belmont and nodded, saying: "You guys Since you can recognize the first dean of Academic City from the blurred figure in the influence, it means that you obviously already have a certain understanding of that person, and it makes sense to know that person's name." As he said, he He was puzzled again: "Can you tell me where you came into contact with that person's information? Don't tell me that you got in touch with him personally. If there is no accident, it is absolutely impossible for him to have direct contact with anyone."

Sylvia asked rhetorically: "Why can't we be the Rupert Fitz who we contacted? Is there any secret in it? Is it related to the church, or is it related to the two families?"

"Because of the curse, the sins committed by that person have already alarmed several powerful true gods, and those several true gods cursed him at the same time. It is impossible for him to lift the curse before the fall of those several true gods." This question does not involve Regarding the taboo content, the Duke of Belmont replied directly: "Under the influence of the curse, that person cannot be directly seen by the world, it is impossible to have contact with the world, and he can only live forever and alone in this world, even in There are countless people around him, and this is the price he paid for his pursuit of eternal life."

After hearing this, Leo said jokingly: "It sounds like he is invisible. Maybe he is standing in front of us now, and we also turn a blind eye to him because of the power of the curse."

"It is indeed possible." On the contrary, the Duke of Belmont nodded seriously and agreed with Leo's statement, but he said with great confidence: "But he should not appear by our side, it is too dangerous for him gone."

Both Leo and Silvia could hear that there must be a reason for what Duke Belmont said, and it might have something to do with the curse.

Queen Teresa on the side didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, and asked: "You two haven't told us why you know that person, and you know that person's name?"

Sylvia looked at Leo, exchanged glances, and said truthfully: "Because Rupert Fitz is not a native of this world like us, but is from the world of Velen, and we have worked together before." a period of time."

"What? Rupert Fitz is also from the world of Velen?" Both the Duke of Belmont and Queen Theresa showed surprised expressions, and then the Duke of Belmont asked in a deep voice as if he had suddenly thought of something: "Does he know the Belmont family in the Velen world very well?"

"Yes." Sylvia nodded truthfully, and said: "He served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of France back then, and he was able to freely consult all the materials collected by the royal family, including the materials of our Belmont family. I don’t want to admit it, but I think that in the history of the family, he, an outsider, may be much clearer than me, a family member.”

Hearing Sylvia's answer, the Duke of Belmont's face became extremely ugly. Although he didn't say anything, judging from the change in his expression, it was obvious that Rupert Fitz knew that there was also a Bell in this world. Even when the Monte family was developing very well, they used their knowledge of the Belmont family to obtain some benefits from the Belmont family, which may also be trust. Perhaps later he led the establishment of the Academic City and became the first The dean of the school city is also related to this.

"Based on what we know about Rupert Fitz, he has a deep plan in everything he does, and he will never do anything useless. Now that he has appeared in the city of academics and ventured into the black house The relic was manipulated in it, so there must be a reason for him to do so." Sylvia emphasized her tone, her expression became serious, and continued: "Unfortunately, there is very little information about him that can be found now. We I don't know what he did after he came to this world, and I can't make any speculation or judgment on his current behavior and thoughts."

"Are you thinking too highly of that person? That person is just an ordinary person cursed by the gods?" Queen Teresa could hear the seriousness and concern in Sylvia's tone, and said a little puzzled .

Sylvia shook her head, smiled lightly, and said, "Ordinary person? Maybe Rupert Fitz is an ordinary person, but if I let him go, even I would feel guilty for what this ordinary person did. Shocked, don't look at him with the eyes of ordinary people."

Hearing Sylvia's praise of Rupert Fitz's ability, Queen Teresa was also a little surprised, and at the same time recalled in her mind the information she had seen about the first dean of the academy city .

As Sylvia said, she did instinctively underestimate Rupert Fitz because she knew that Rupert Fitz was just an ordinary person. He thought that no matter how many things he tossed about, there would be no big disturbance.

But now Sylvia's words made her change her previous concept involuntarily, and look at the first dean of the school city who only exists in the data. After all, even a demigod feels scruples, so what qualifications does she have? Think it's just an ordinary guy?

Compared to Queen Teresa, the Duke of Belmont, who had carefully studied the life of the first Academy Dean, strongly agreed with Sylvia's evaluation, because in his opinion, Rupert Fitz, an ordinary The degree of danger of a person is definitely not much worse than that of any person with extraordinary power. If you are not careful, you may get into big trouble. The big incident that caused the curse of many true gods was because the Duke of Belmont and King Teresa at that time Too much trust and indulgence in this person.

Now that the man reappeared, the Duke of Belmont couldn't help ringing the alarm bells. He instinctively felt that after so many years of silence, the man suddenly came to the black house to manipulate the relic. Perhaps there were other unknown deep meanings, and it was more likely that he wanted to It's a big deal, and the last time this person came out to do something big, the Kingdom of Teresa almost became the target of the joint jihad of various true God churches.

Thinking of this, the Duke of Belmont hesitated, whether he should continue to adhere to the rules of the family and the royal family, and always seal up those materials so that no one else would know, or show them to Leo and Silvia to see if they can get rid of them. Some clues were found in it. After all, he only knew the situation of that person from the information, and the two of them in front of him had had face-to-face contact with that person, so they must know that person better than himself.

While the Duke of Belmont was still hesitating, Queen Teresa was quite decisive and said directly: "I can't tell you about the family and royal scandal that he caused back then, but the sin that caused the curse of the true god But I can tell you."

Afterwards, she paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Duke Belmont, as if she was asking for his approval, and Duke Belmont thought about it seriously, and finally nodded.

Next, Queen Teresa spoke about Rupert Fitz. During her narration, she was interrupted by the Duke of Belmont from time to time, and then she raised some things that could not be said, and finally said The content that came out seemed very fragmented.

However, even so, both Leo and Sylvia were able to hear a lot of useful information from these scattered narrations. In the end, when the information was put together, they could basically form a story that did not involve too many Belmont families and Teresa. The Royal Life of Rupert Fitz.

Although from the disclosed information, Leo and Sylvia are still unable to confirm the exact time and how Rupert Fitz came to this world, but they can be sure that Rupert Fitz Not long after he came to this world, he knew that there was a Belmont family in this world, and he came to contact the Belmont family. Using his knowledge of the Belmont family and his own abilities, he soon became the head of the Belmont family at that time. Best friends, and then through the Belmont family and Teresa's royal family, became the royal advisor of King Teresa at that time.

The reason why such a guess is made is because Queen Teresa has read the information, it is clearly recorded that when Rupert Fitz just met with the Belmont patriarch, there were some language barriers, and later the Belmont patriarch personally After teaching him various common languages ​​in this world, he can express himself to others smoothly.

Based on Sylvia's understanding of Rupert Fitz, he is extremely talented in linguistics. Except for a few special languages, he can successfully understand the common languages ​​and regional languages ​​of most countries in the Vilen world. I heard that there are no obstacles. This can also be judged from the records left by the Belmont patriarch. In less than a year, he has already mastered the usage and writing methods of all the common languages ​​​​of the Old Continent, even He also specially invented an extremely gorgeous written font, and this written font is still the font used by the royal family of Teresa when issuing documents.

When Rupert Fitz served as an advisor to King Teresa, he put forward many suggestions for the development of the Kingdom of Teresa. These suggestions were eventually adopted and became decrees that are still used in the Kingdom of Teresa.

There is absolutely no problem with his ability to become the Prime Minister of Theresa Kingdom, but due to his status, he cannot get the support of the royal government dignitaries. For a long time, he can only influence the political situation of Theresa Kingdom as a consultant , until he proposed to build an academic city, his status as a consultant was revoked.

For the next ten years, he devoted himself to the construction of the Academic City. He participated in everything from the site selection of the Academic City to the layout and architectural forms of various urban areas. Finally, the Academic City He was also the one who formulated the original school rules and regulations, and because there was no one who could understand Academic City better than him at that time, he deservedly became the first Dean of Academic City.

After he became the Dean, both the Patriarch Belmont and King Teresa gave him great trust and completely handed over the rights of the Academic City to him, and he did not disappoint them either. In a short period of time, the City of Academics developed into the center of emerging ideas and academic research in the entire Old Continent. It wasn't until his troubles got out of hand that Patriarch Belmont and King Teresa realized how crazy his audacity was.

Imprisoning the gods, dissecting the gods, studying the gods, devouring the gods, and finally becoming a god, this is the crime Rupert Fitz committed back then, and it is also the reason why several true gods cursed him.
