The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Rose Belmont believed Sylvia's words about the town of Lübeck. This belief was not only because of Sylvia's own persuasion, but more because of the absolute suppression in his blood that made him unable to oppose Sylvia. Via.

However, he did not dismantle the defensive line of the soldiers in the small town immediately. Instead, he ordered his men to take a team to Sylvia and Leo after hearing that the arrangement in the forest had been lifted. The mentioned town of Lübeck checked the situation, while he led Sylvia and Leo back to Redstone Town.

After returning to Redstone Town, Leo and Sylvia did not go to the mayor's mansion, but went to the altar on the edge of the town.

Rose Belmont did not accompany him because he needed to change his clothes, but ordered his officials to lead the two of them as guides.

After he returned to the mayor's mansion, he immediately reported the matter about Sylvia through the family secret method, and the other end also responded immediately, and the content of the reply letter was only one sentence, which was to make him believe that Sylvia, as for whether Sylvia's identity is Queen Teresa, she didn't mention it.

However, even if there is only one sentence, Rose Belmont can feel from this sentence that the family seems to have a feeling of awe for this Sylvia, who is suspected to be Her Majesty the Queen.

Just when Rose Belmont contacted the family through the family secret method and confirmed Sylvia's identity, Leo and Sylvia had already arrived at the altar, and Leo directly removed the stone that sealed the abscess and flesh from the ground. The ball was taken out.

"This forbidden stone ball is really exquisite." Sylvia took the stone ball from Leo's hand, looked at it in front of her eyes, and said.

This stone ball is only the size of a fist, but its fineness is not much worse than the huge stone ball that banned the Eye of Reality back then. Even the fine Turing radicals on it are more complicated, at least Leo can't help it After figuring out the combination method in a short time, the only thing that is certain is that the Turing radical on the stone ball and the Turing radical on the piece of golden meat should be the same combination of Turing radicals.

"Using such an exquisite sealing stone ball to imprison a piece of abscessed flesh and blood is a bit overkill." Leo tried to use the spirit net to perceive the situation of the stone ball, and he quickly discovered a peculiarity of the stone ball, that is, this stone ball The ball won't stop any prying forces.

At this moment, Leo's mental net can easily penetrate the stone ball and detect the abscessed flesh and blood inside, as if the stone ball does not exist, but the abscessed flesh and blood sealed inside the stone ball are imprisoned to death , unable to move, and even Leo's mental network penetrated to explore the mystery of its composition, and he was unable to make any counterattack.

"Perhaps it was not made to imprison the flesh and blood of abscesses, but to be used in other places. Confining the flesh and blood of abscesses is just a matter of convenience." Sylvia said jokingly.

However, after hearing Sylvia's joking guess, Leo couldn't help being stunned. This sentence seemed to inspire him, making him realize that the stone ball might really be what Sylvia said That way, it wasn't made to imprison something.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me about this altar and the town of Lübeck?" Leo asked the town official beside him.

"Ah?" The town official was stunned for a moment, and then said in a daze, "Lübeck town? I have never heard of this name. I just know something about the altar. For the specific situation, you may ask Lord Ross. Some, he should know more."

"No, the old warden may know more about the altar." Another town official reminded: "I remember that the old warden's family has always guarded the altar."

A native town official immediately corrected him: "You are mistaken, the original watchman's family has long been extinct, and the subsequent watchmen are all outsiders, and they just inherited the name of that family." , he added: "However, that person has inherited everything from the caretaker's family, and he should know more about the altar than we do."

Hearing what the town officials said, Leo signaled the town officials to find the altar keeper.

Not long after, the guard, wearing old leather armor and holding a spear in his hand, was taken to the altar by the town officials. He didn't understand what was going on now, and he looked dazed and nervous.

After learning that Leo just wanted to know about the past of the altar, the old guard also breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Leo what he knew.

The old guard didn't know exactly when the altar was built. He just knew that the altar had existed before the construction of Redstone Town. At that time, the altar had no name, and the family he inherited was designated by the Belmont family. After becoming the guardian of the altar, it was given the name of the altar, which is still in use today.

As for who built the altar and what the purpose of the construction is, the old guard is not clear, but he knows that after the routine ceremony every year, he will have the same dream at night, and not only him, according to the guards of all ages According to his diary, every guard will have the same dream after the annual routine ceremony like him. The dream is very simple. It is a person sitting on a chair and saying something to him in a language he does not understand. .

The previous watchmen had told this matter to the upper echelons of the Belmont family, and the Belmont family gave them a very simple response, saying that they were affected by the strangeness of the ban on the altar, which caused some abnormalities, so that the watchmen did not have to Worried, but no solution was given either.

The former altar keeper was afraid that he would be controlled by the strangeness of the altar ban, but he dared not leave, so in order to relieve the pressure, he tried to carve out what he saw in the dream. Until now, the keeper still has this feeling. Habit.

Hearing this, Leo signaled to the old caretaker that he would take him to see the dream things carved by the altar caretaker.

Afterwards, the group came to the caretaker's hut outside the altar. After entering the hut, everyone seemed to have entered a stone sculpture exhibition hall. All kinds of exquisite small stone sculptures were neatly placed on the shelves of the hut. Even the locals in Hongshi Town were surprised that the town had a stone carving master.

In the eyes of the people of Hongshi Town, these stone carvings are exquisite works of art, but in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, these stone carvings contain other meanings, because they found that many of these stone carvings have obvious features of the French Empire.

For example, although the portrait sculpture sitting on a chair does not carve out the face of the portrait, it does carve out his clothes, and his clothes are very typical of the aristocratic costumes of the French Empire, and can even be used on the clothes See family coat of arms.

"The coat of arms of the Van Mier family." Sylvia, who knew the coat of arms of the Farland Empire like the back of his hand, instantly recognized which Farland family it came from from the style of the coat of arms, and reminded Leo in French.

"Fan Mier family?" Leo was stunned, and said, "The blasphemer family?"

The reason why Leo was able to understand so quickly which Van Meer family Sylvia mentioned was the Van Meer family of the Faran Empire was because this family was very famous, because it was the only one after the establishment of the Third French Empire. The imperial aristocratic family that was purged by the church in the name of blasphemy, also because of this incident, made the empire promulgate three far-reaching bills, the religious law, the amnesty law and the noble law, which made the imperial power of the French Empire a long time They all suppress religious theocracy.

"Can you tell the specific identity from the badge?" Leo asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Sylvia shook her head, then thought for a while, and said, "However, I remember that the church's slogan of attacking the Van Meer family was blasphemy, but it actually seemed to be related to wizards, wouldn't it? Is it the tower wizard?"

"Very likely." Leo nodded in agreement.

"You..." While Leo and Sylvia were talking in French, the altar keeper looked at the two of them in horror, as if they had seen something terrible, even out of fear. , his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand still, and he sat down on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" The town official asked displeased when he saw the altar keeper's disrespect.

"They, they are weird, they are banned weird!" The altar keeper yelled in panic, and ran out of the altar.

Facing the altar keeper's identification, both Leo and Sylvia looked puzzled. Although the other accompanying town officials didn't fully believe what the altar keeper said, they still couldn't help but take a few steps back. And put his hands on the weapon at his waist and the prayer relic hanging around his neck.

At this moment, Leo and Sylvia also realized why the altar keeper had such a reaction, because just now the altar keeper mentioned that in his dream, a person kept sitting on a chair and talking to him, The Belmont family explained that this was caused by the strange influence of the ban, and just now Leo and Sylvia talked in French, and the pronunciation and other details happened to be the same as the language spoken by the person in the altar keeper's dream. The altar keeper had some associations, and equated the two people in front of him with the strangeness of the ban.

Although the reason for the misunderstanding made people dumbfounded, Leo and Sylvia did not intend to explain. At this time, Rose Belmont, who had changed his clothes, also came to the altar, and the altar keeper who had just escaped due to a misunderstanding followed. It's just that he obviously hasn't come out of the misunderstanding, the weapon is still clenched tightly in his hand, and the eyes he looks at Leo and Sylvia are still full of panic, but Rose Belmont looks very calm, not at all. Affected by what the watchman said just now.

If it was before contacting the family, Rose Belmont might doubt the identities of Leo and Sylvia because of the watchman's complaint. After receiving the clear instructions from the family, he knew that the two people in front of him definitely had unusual identities, and it was impossible for him to be banned. That's why he still chose to bring a few guards over after meeting the guards instead of Turn around and bring over the soldiers who are still on standby.

"I heard from the watchman that the two want to know about the altar and the strange things about being banned. I understand these things more clearly, and I can answer them for you." Rose Belmonte was very proactive. Before he and Sylvia spoke, he expressed his willingness to tell the weird things he knew about the altar and the ban, but because what he said contained some taboos, he sent all the other people around him outside the altar, Only then did he begin to tell what he knew.

In fact, he didn't know many things. When he became the mayor of Hongshi Town, the family ordered him some things and told him some secrets about Hongshi Town.

For example, the altar was built by the Belmont family. The altar was built to ban the weirdness that led to the destruction of Lübeck. The main reason why the Belmont family was so active was that the strangeness was also related to the Belmont family. .

Ross Belmont is not very clear about how one is related, but judging from the information left by the mayors of Redstone Town, it may have something to do with a certain plan of the family in the early years. That plan involved the creation of gods. It was very heresy, but I gave up without knowing why. It may be related to the heresy hunting of the Church of True God, or it may be because of other reasons.

In addition, Rose Belmont said that things like the strangeness of the banning in Lübeck Town are not unique to Redstone Town. There is also a similar altar in Belmont Castle, but the altar is directly managed and guarded by family members. As for more specific matters, he is not clear, after all, he is only a branch of the Belmont family.

After listening to what Rose Belmont said, Leo asked him to find the altar keeper again, and then he didn't talk nonsense. When the altar keeper was nervous, he directly used his psionic skills to search for the altar keeper. memory of the dream in the brain.

That dream was too deep for the altar keeper, and soon he found this memory, and directly used a substitute to replace the altar keeper's consciousness, and entered that dream memory.

I saw that the dream was as simple as what the altar keeper said, that is, in a room that looked like a study, a middle-aged man wearing French noble clothes sat on a chair.

And there is another detail around, the altar keeper did not say, maybe he has no memory. The stone ball that was dug out.

"You are here, my wizard companion." Just when Leo entered that memory, the middle-aged man seemed to be able to see Leo, staring at Leo, using that special French aristocratic accent, speaking to Leo Ou said.

After hearing this, Leo was stunned, and couldn't help but suspect that the middle-aged man in front of him might have bent his consciousness over the altar keeper in some way.

However, soon the middle-aged man seemed to be able to guess what Leo was thinking, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not possessed by a soul, it's just an image left in advance. I should have died by the time I saw the image of him," he said, smiled again, and said, "Perhaps I may have become a god."
