The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At this moment, Barbarisa's emotions are a bit complicated, although he already knew Leo's extraordinary side when they separated in Cape West Port, and he judged that it won't be long before Leo and Sylvia will be able to get together. The Old Continent has achieved a lot of career and fame, but what he never imagined was that the time would be so much shorter than he expected. In less than a year, Leo and Sylvia had become the leaders of various countries and forces. It's high on the list of important people to watch.

Not to mention the great reputation of Leo, the recognized incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, the indistinct relationship between his wife, Ms. Sylvia, Queen Teresa and the Belmont family is enough to arouse any concern. People in the Old Continent paid attention to it, because the most important thing that happened in the entire world recently was related to the Belmont family.

For ordinary people, they only knew from the abnormal movements in the churches and shrines of the Justice Church around the world that day, and the inexplicable coma of the senior clergy, that there must have been a major accident in the Justice Church, but they didn't know what happened, and They have no way of inquiring, or even dare to inquire, because as long as they inquire about relevant information, they will be arrested as heretics by the Church of Justice and other Churches of True God that are closely related to the justice of the gods.

In just a few days, no less than 50,000 people from all over the world were sent to the prison of the Church's Heresy Inquisition Hall because of this curiosity. Among these people, the lucky ones will be released after a period of time, and the unlucky ones may be released. I will be imprisoned until death, so things related to the Justice Church have become the most taboo topic these days, not to mention ordinary people, even the princes and nobles of various countries are afraid that few people dare to use this as a chat topic.

It's just that these are only for ordinary people, and special people like Barbarisa, who are canonized by the Church of True God, are obviously not restricted, so he also learned some of the most important things through his relationship and eyes and ears in the church. For example, the justice of the gods was injured this time, and the injury was not serious, and it has fallen into dormancy. As for the reason for the justice of the gods, no one knows, but it is rumored to be related to the Belmont family.

If it is said that the influence of the Belmont family was only in the Kingdom of Teresa and its surrounding areas in the past, and it was only marked as a mysterious family with extraordinary power in the materials of the countries of the Old Continent, then the reputation of the Belmont family is now And the hidden reputation has reached the level of the world's top family. Any piece of information about the Belmont family needs to cost ten times more than in the past before it can be obtained from certain intelligence channels.

It is precisely for this reason that all people and families related to the Belmont family are also listed as key objects of attention. Sylvia, who has the surname Belmont but is not a member of the Belmont family, is very special. Naturally, he gained extra attention, and as her husband, Leo Dodd also belonged to the center of the focus circle.

And those who collect information on Leo and Sylvia because of the Belmont family will soon find that these two are definitely not as distant relatives of the Belmont family. The Monte family is more worthy of attention, and Barbarisa, as a special person who has been with these two for a while, has also received some extra attention.

Although most people who pay attention to Leo and Sylvia will focus on Sylvia who is closely related to the Belmont family, especially there is evidence that Sylvia is in the mysterious Belmont family during this time. In the castle, this means that Sylvia's status in the Belmont family is extraordinary, and it is very likely that she also knows the reason why the justice of the gods was injured.

But there are also some people who are unusual. They don't care about the affairs of the gods, but they care more about the situation on the other side. Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Leo must be far more worthy of attention than Sylvia, and Barbary Sarah is one of them.

The influence of Academic City in the countries of the old and new continents cannot be measured by a standard unit. If there is a comparison, then only the Church of the True God can completely overwhelm it. This is the Church of the True God after the union of several churches. As far as the church is concerned, even the Church of Justice, a huge church with holy churches spread all over cities and villages in the Old Continent, cannot compare with the influence of the city of academics.

Although the City of Academics has such a great influence, few forces think that the City of Academics can take advantage of these influences. This is mainly because there are many factions in the City of Academics. All scholars come from all over the world. They have their own ideas and ideas, and their own rational thinking and comparison of gains and losses also drive them not to use their influence to do some very excessive things.

But now, the situation is different, because the appearance of Leo, the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge who is recognized by professors and scholars as well as ordinary students in the academic city, has made the academics who did not have much cohesion and were like loose sand The city began to show signs of condensing into a regular force. This is just a matter of Leo's arrival in the academic city. If Leo continues to stay in the academic city, it will not take a few months. Perhaps the city will complete a transformation and become a powerful force with internal cohesion and unified thinking.

It is precisely because Leo can control an extremely influential force like the Academic City at any time, so those interested will naturally pay special attention to Leo's whereabouts. From the day Leo left the Academic City to the Middle Kingdom, almost At every moment, someone gathered information about Leo's whereabouts and special events that happened around him along the way, compiled them into documents, and put them on the desks of those who cared.

Barbarisa is also one of the caring people, so he was able to find Leo immediately after Leo entered his territory and meet Leo.

"Your Excellency, Barbarisa, wait for me in advance, what do you think?" After Barbarisa explained why he waited here in advance, Leo did not show much surprise, but asked very directly road.

Facing Leo's inquiry, Barbarisa did not greet politely, and also replied directly: "There is indeed something I want to ask for your help."

Leo said in a deep voice: "Tell me, as long as it doesn't affect my affairs and your affairs are attractive enough, I might be able to help you a little bit."

Barbarisa was silent for a while, as if preparing to speak, and then slowly said after a while: "I would like to ask your Excellency to secretly investigate one matter. This matter is why I was canonized and became a saint?"

Leo asked, "Isn't it because of your achievements in the Middle Kingdom?"

Barbarisa shook his head and said: "Although my achievements are great, they are only relative to the interior of the country I am in. My achievements are too small for this world, and I have no canonization at all." qualifications."

Leo showed a look of interest, and asked, "Since it's not because of merit, what is the reason for your canonization?"

"This is what I want to know." Barbarisa was a little puzzled, and said: "However, I guess it should be related to my bloodline and background, and it should also be related to the situation in the Middle Kingdom."

"Is there anything special about your bloodline and background?" Leo asked.

Barbarisa said in a deep voice: "I don't know about this either. This is one of the things you need to investigate, the origin of my father's family."

As he said that, he briefly introduced his situation. For example, he was born and raised in his mother's family, and his surname is also the surname of his mother's family, and his mother's family is not a big noble family, so he thinks there is a problem It should have come from his father's branch.

Leo was still puzzled and asked: "Have you never considered investigating this matter before? Why do you suddenly want to investigate now?"

"Because I didn't feel a sense of crisis before, but now I feel it." Barbarisa said with a gloomy face.

"Just because of the feeling?" Leo frowned and whispered.

"It's not just a feeling, but also some evidence." Barbarisa hesitated a little, and said, "You should know that there has been a big scandal recently among my subordinates, right?"

"It's the steward who absconded with money." Leo said.

"Yes, that's him." Barbarisa nodded, and said, "I'm pretty sure that guy Shaunard would never do such a thing. Shawnard is the one in charge."

"Why are you so sure?" Leo asked back.

"Because he is my spy who is used to collect intelligence from various countries in the Middle Kingdom. Any spy who performs such a mission will go through the most severe loyalty test. He will never betray me, let alone abscond with money. something." Barbarisa was silent for a moment, then continued: "I suspect he is dead."

Leo thought for a while and asked, "What is the mission of that spy, is it convenient to say?"

Barbarisa hesitated for a moment, and said, "I asked him to investigate the forbidden legends in the Middle Kingdom."

"Forbidden legend?" Leo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Barbarisa asked his important spies to investigate such things.

Forbidden legends are such stories, not to mention the Middle Kingdom. There are all kinds of forbidden legends all over the world, and the structure of such forbidden legends is also similar. Some evil things are born in certain places. If you get close , will be devoured or killed and so on.

Perhaps it was because Leo's expression was too obvious, which made Barbarisa see what Leo was thinking at a glance, so he explained: "The taboo legend I want to investigate is not a general taboo legend, it seems to involve something that fell in the center. The god of the beginning of the world in the kingdom area."

Leo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, because it was a coincidence that one of the things he decided to do before coming to the Middle Kingdom was to investigate the God of the Beginning in the Middle Kingdom.

Through the various church classics that he had read before, Leo knew that there was once a god of the beginning in this world, and this god of the beginning suddenly fell in the Middle Kingdom due to unknown reasons, and other gods appeared in this world one after another. In the world, almost all the classics of the church will mention that the true god of their church comes from the god of the beginning.

However, what is interesting is that all churches have very few records of the original God, and they are fragmented, hidden in the inconspicuous corners of various classics. If you are not a scholar who specializes in theological research, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out the truth in this world. There used to be a primordial god.

The reason why Leo wanted to investigate the God of Beginning was because the spar that could cause the reaction of the Stone Throne was produced in the Middle Kingdom, and there were no other places, so he suspected that these crystals came from the God of Beginning, and the God of Beginning Perhaps it is inextricably linked with the Stone Throne.

"What benefits can I get?" After finding that the matters that need to be investigated overlapped and would not cause other troubles, Leo naturally agreed to the other party's request, but at the same time he also bargained very seriously.

"I know that your Excellency came to the Middle Kingdom to acquire a crystal," Barbarisa said in a deep voice, "I can help you acquire it."

Leo thought about it for a while, and said, "In this case, I will leave the purchase of the crystal to your Excellency."

Seeing that Leo agreed, Barbarisa's always serious expression also relaxed.

Leo asked again: "If I start to investigate, where should I start?"

"I don't know about this, because I haven't found a clue for so many years." Barbarisa shrugged regretfully, and said: "I will send someone to send the information I have collected over the years to Send it here, you can refer to it."

Seeing what Barbarisa said, Leo didn't ask further, because he could see that Barbarisa really didn't know anything about his father's feet, so he didn't have too much interest in Barbarisa's information. expect.

Seeing that the matter has been negotiated, Barbarisa has no intention of staying any longer. After all, he has too many things on hand now, and each of them is related to the fun of him and his territory, but after he leaves Leo to rent When he was in the room, he gave Leo a token with his family's crest. This token can help Leo walk unimpeded on the streets of the Middle Kingdom, including some special restricted areas.

Not long after Barbarisa left, Leo also left the hotel, collecting information that might be useful on the streets of the town, and when he returned to the hotel, another uninvited guest was waiting for him.

"Hello, Mr. Leo Dodd." An elderly priest wearing an old priest's robe stood in front of Leo, saluted Leo respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

Leo looked at the religious robe on the other party's body, trying to identify which church the other party belonged to from the decoration on the religious robe, but in the end he found that there were no religious symbols or emblems related to this world church on the religious robe of the other party, which made Lei Ou Ou couldn't help but feel puzzled.
