The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

From Marek's expression, it's not difficult for Leo to see that he must have had an unspeakable experience, and this experience should be related to the foggy village. Although Leo was a little curious about this, he didn't ask in detail.

While sighing, Marek couldn't help but questioned: "However, what makes me wonder is how did this smog get into Lake Town? How many other smogs are hiding in Lake Town? What is the relationship between them and this murder?" what is the relationship?"

Facing Marek's self-talking question, Leo really wanted to ask why the fog people couldn't climb the wall directly, or enter from the water, but he didn't ask, because he felt that these two questions should be Two common-sense questions that even books don't bother to mention, if asked, will arouse Marek's suspicion.

So, he pondered for a moment, thinking of the airship transporting supplies that he saw in the cemetery that day, and said casually, "Could it be an airship?"

"Airship?" Leo's words reminded Marek of something, he pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said, "It's possible."

Leo was also taken aback, he didn't expect that he could say it casually.

Marek said with a serious expression: "The entry of the fog people into Lake Town is a big event in itself, and it also involves the chaos meeting. I'm afraid there will be a big event in Seventh Lake Town..."

"Could it be related to Waste City?" Before Marek finished speaking, Leo interrupted him and asked.

"Abandoned City?" Marek looked at Leo blankly, puzzled, "How could it be involved in Abandoned City..." As he spoke, he stopped suddenly, as if he understood what Leo meant, surprised He said: "You mean that the waste will appear in the town of Seventh Lake?"

"Don't you know?" Leo pretended to be surprised, and said, "During this period of time, so many businessmen directly under the chief wizard have come to Seventh Lake Town, and there are no real big business opportunities here, don't you think it's strange? ?”

"No wonder, no wonder!" Leo's words seemed to clarify some of Marek's doubts, and he muttered to himself: "So the problem lies here."

"What did you think of?" Leo asked.

"You should know that after the chaos was wiped out, it didn't disappear. Instead, it went to the foggy area and spread their chaos in the foggy villages." Marek didn't hide from Leo, but he thought of it The matter was described eloquently: "It's just that the Alliance Council and the Wizard Council didn't know that the chaos would split into two branches in the foggy village. One thought that they should stay in the foggy area to spread their theories and gather the strength of the foggy village. Then counterattack Lake Town. The other team believes that neither the foggy area nor Lake Town is the real chaotic end. They should look for the real chaotic end. When I left the fog area, there were rumors that the second team was looking for the chaotic end. Some people think that the abandoned city is the real chaotic end of the world, so they want to enter the abandoned city and seize the abandoned city, and the female corpse is likely to be a member of the chaotic society who sneaked in."

Although Leo knew the origin of the female corpse very well, he still followed Marek's words and said, "So the murderer did a good job."

"That's not necessarily the case." Marek said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the murderer may also be a member of the Chaos Society."

Leo asked: "Why is there such doubt?"

"Because I've seen similar things before." Marek was silent for a moment, and said, "That time, instead of removing internal organs, three people's brains and eyeballs were taken away, and three living people were used as Living sacrifices..."

Listening to Marek's words, some knowledge that he had never had before immediately appeared in Leo's mind, just like when he saw the four hollowed out internal organs, he immediately knew that this was a sacrifice for resurrection. After describing it, he also knew that the person who did this was for a ceremony called the Reality Sacrifice, and what was interesting was that the object of the sacrifice turned out to be the Eye of Reality. That's right, it was the true eye that was trapped in the stone ball in the hunting ground on the outskirts of Miria, and the spiritual will was sacrificed by Leo to the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness.

At this time, Leo suddenly thought of the person who had been in and out of the dream world many times before and had contact with the Eye of Reality, so he tried to ask Marek: "Chief Marek, do you know about the Eye of Reality?" ?”

This somewhat inexplicable question made Marek stunned, followed him to look at Leo with a strange look, pointed at Leo's glasses in his pocket, and said, "Why do you ask such a question? Aren't you wearing the glasses produced by the Eye of Reality?"

Leo was taken aback by these words, he reached out and took out the special glasses he bought earlier, put them in his hands and looked at them, his eyes were full of surprise.

Marek guessed Leo's thoughts smartly, and said, "Do you suspect that the Eye of Truth and Chaos will collude?"

Leo put the glasses back into his pocket, and didn't intend to explain, but followed Marek's words and said, "I'm a little skeptical, what do you think?"

"Impossible!" As soon as Leo's words came out, Marek immediately shook his head and said, "The Eye of Truth and Chaos will be mortal enemies, and the reason why Chaos will be cleared out of Lake Town is because of the help of the Eye of Truth." , so that those lunatic-like chaotic people have nowhere to hide, they are found out one by one, and wiped out. Therefore, what the chaotic society hates the most is the eye of truth, and it is always thinking of destroying the eye of truth, it is impossible to cooperate with them .”

Leo smiled lightly and said, "Chief Marek, even a calm person like you thinks that the two parties cannot cooperate. Isn't this a good cover?"

"What do you mean?" Marek asked, frowning.

In order to obtain information about the Eye of Reality from Marek, Leo did not hesitate to put a hat on the Eye of Reality, saying: "The Chaos Society and the Fog People have entered Lake Town without a sound, this is indisputable. Facts, right?"

"Yes." Marek nodded.

"We were skeptical about why the Chaos Society and the Fog People appeared in Lake Town," Leo said a little bit, "At that time, we suspected that the most likely way to enter Lake Town was through an airship, right?"

Marek didn't answer this time, but nodded, but with a slightly thoughtful look on his face.

"However, it is very difficult to enter Hushang Town by airship. After all, the inspection process must be very strict, so it may be difficult for people to enter Hushang Town silently by relying on one side alone." Leo said a little bit Leading Marek's thinking astray, he said: "But what if someone responds? Not only does that person have a lot of power, but even if something happens afterwards, he will not be suspected."

Although Marek still didn't quite believe Leo's words in his heart, he was already a little shaken. Instead of immediately denying Leo's guess, he showed a contemplative look.

Leo waited for a while, then suddenly asked: "Do you have any information related to the Eye of Reality?"

"Yes." Marek nodded and said.

Leo suggested purposefully: "Check it out. If there is really a problem, there must be some clues in the information."

Marek thought about it, and nodded in agreement with the proposal, then he asked Leo to wait, and walked out of the office by himself. After about ten minutes, I saw him walking in with three file collections that were as big as a desktop and as thick as a dictionary.

After putting the file on the table, Marek was silent for a while, and then said to Leo very seriously: "Although this file is not a particularly important secret file, it can't be shown to anyone casually, because the matter is urgent. I am a bit powerless by myself, so I will open these files to you, and I hope that after you have read them, Sir Dodd, you will forget everything when you leave this room, and you can’t say anything. Is that okay?"

Leo thought about it very seriously, then nodded cautiously and said: "Yes."

Seeing Leo's cautious attitude, Marek chose to believe Leo's promise, picked up one of the files, and handed it to Leo, while he opened the file in front of him and looked it up carefully.

Leo was not polite, took the file, and flipped through it, but his reading speed was far faster than Marek's, his eyes almost just scanned the page once, and immediately turned to the next page.

This reading speed once made Marek wonder if he was really looking for clues seriously, but when he saw that Leo could easily tell the contents of the files he had read before, Marek was shocked and felt An idea also came up.

When Marek had read less than ten pages from the file in his hand, Leo had already read all of the two huge files. Perhaps because of his expectation of Leo's ability, Marek didn't read any further, but handed the file in his hand to Leo, as if leaving the job of analyzing clues to Leo, an outsider.

As for Leo, you are not welcome. After receiving the file, he continued to browse through it, and recorded the three files in the vice-brain database within ten minutes.

After reading these materials, Leo pretended to be thinking, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, but he was actually cooperating with the sub-brain system to sort out and review the recorded materials.

Just like those in power in Vinylon World or the Earth Federation, the Silver Moon Lake Alliance Council, which holds the administrative power of the ten towns, is also extremely vigilant against some powerful forces under its rule that can affect their rights, so they sent people like Ma Lei A strong man like Ke monitors these big forces and collects information about their activities, and the Eye of Reality is also a key monitoring target of the Alliance Council.

Perhaps because Marek himself is not that kind of specialized intelligence officer, and he doesn't have a systematic concept of collecting intelligence data, he just collects all the data from the Eye of Reality, regardless of which data is useful, What is useless is all jumbled together by dates.

Although this kind of chaotic data files will cause great obstacles to other people who read the files, Leo has a sub-brain system to organize data, so these obstacles are not a problem at all. On the contrary, because of the variety and details of the data, Leo can learn from it Get lots of useful information.

Among these information is not only the intelligence data of the Eye of Truth itself, but also a large number of data from Ten Towns and other forces in Silvermoon City. The reason why these materials are put together is only because these forces are slightly connected with the Eye of Reality, and they are all recorded by Marek.

And this information allowed Leo to have a deeper understanding of the Yinyue Lake Alliance, even better than most people in Ten Towns understand this civilized world centered on Yinyue Lake.

The Yinyue Lake Lake District Alliance is a republic established around Yinyue Lake. Although there is no country name here, there is actually no difference between the alliance and the country.

Apart from the special existence of the Wizarding Association, the highest authority of the Alliance is the Alliance Council. Just as the people here have an unusual love for the number ten, the Alliance Council has also set up ten chief councilors, and under the chief councilors, there are also ten chief councilors. Ten secondary members were appointed, for a total of one hundred and ten seats.

Among the chief councilors, five seats belonged to the permanent seats of the Wizarding Association, and the remaining five seats belonged to the leaders of each guild. More than half of the secondary councilors were held by the nobles of the ten towns, and the rest were allocated to the towns on the lake. Great merchants, scholars, and military nobles.

The Night Watchman Organization is not within the control of the Lake District Alliance. It is independent of the Alliance, but has a close relationship with the Alliance. Therefore, five observation seats have been specially set up in the Alliance Council, and the Night Watchman Organization will send people to serve as them.

There is no such thing as religion in the Alliance of the Lakes as Leo first thought. In fact, because of the emergence of the fog zone, the attack of fog monsters and other crises surrounding the alliance, ordinary people in the alliance are always in a state of anxiety. And this kind of anxiety is the best breeding ground for the emergence of religious organizations.

According to the records collected by Marek, in Seventh Lake Township alone, a small place belonging to the lower Lake Township within the alliance, there are no less than fifty-four religions of all sizes spreading in the town.

Unlike other religious organizations, the Church of the True Eye is mainly based on missions. They prefer to be businessmen. In addition to producing glasses that can see text, they also sell other commodities such as potions.

According to records, before the emergence of the Church of the True Eye, although people in this world had a large number of books brought from the other side of the world, no one could read and understand clearly, so the inheritance of civilization here is passed on by word of mouth. , until the Eye of Truth appeared, writing gradually became the main way of inheriting civilization.

The members of the Wizarding Association have also tried many times to unlock the manufacturing process of the special glasses, but in the end they have no results and can only rely on the output of the Eye of Reality.

It is also the reliance of the entire civilization on the special glasses that enables the Eye of Truth to expand smoothly in Ten Towns, and gradually grow into an object that even the Alliance Council must be vigilant about, and even has to acquiesce to its secret missionary behavior.

From the information provided by Marek, it can be seen that the Eye of Truth has a very strong influence in Upper Seventh Lake Town. Many nobles are believers of the Eye of Truth, and almost half of the city guards and guards join After leaving the Church of the True Eye, the remaining half also have close contact with the Church of the True Eye. Not to mention the ordinary people at the bottom, even if these people are members of other religious organizations, they will still maintain a certain degree of belief in the Church of the True Eye.
