The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Can you tell me more about your brother Fitz?" Leo asked Filoria, who had doubts in his heart.

Filoria didn't hide anything, she recalled it carefully, and then told about her brother Fitz.

According to Filoria's memories, each of their thirty-five brothers and sisters has a different personality, and it can even be said that each of them has a very weird personality. For example, her own personality is very cold, so cold that she seems to be Like the snow field outside, her brothers and sisters also nicknamed her the Iceman because of her cold personality.

And among the many eccentric brothers and sisters, Fitz's character is definitely one of the eccentric ones in Filoria's opinion.

First of all, most of Fitz's personality is his strong curiosity. He is curious about everything around him and wants to study its mysteries. More than 80% of the incubators here are dismantled by him.

It would be fine if he was only curious about the objects around him. He was even curious about the body composition of his brothers and sisters. Once he even kidnapped a brother and locked them in the incubator he transformed into a laboratory, intending to dissect them. this bro.

This is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that he even put his curiosity on the big tree mother, and planned to cut off a branch of the big tree mother for research, and because of this, he was locked up , didn't release it until they left, and left here together.

After leaving at that time, everyone blocked their memories, and Fitz also blocked their memories, but after the ban, Fitz seemed to go crazy, shouting loudly that they were all liars, all liars, and ran into the snow field alone .

Because there was a black storm blowing on the snow field at that time, and the brothers and sisters disliked Fitz very much, so no one chased after him to pull Fitz back. This was the last time Filoria saw Fitz.

"Can you tell me about that Fitz's appearance?" Leo was silent for a while after hearing this, and asked again.

Filoria recalled it seriously again, and then said little by little what Fitz looked like in her memory.

Leo listened carefully, and according to the description in her words, he gradually outlined the image of a teenager in his mind, but this image was very different from the image of Rupert Fitz in his memory, but he still felt There is an inexplicable similarity between the two.

After Filoria finished speaking, Leo couldn't wait to raise his hand, manipulated the general-purpose recorder, pulled out a brain wave patch from it and stuck it on his head, and said to the puzzled Filoria: " Do you see that this person is very similar to Fitz in your memory?"

After finishing speaking, he saw that he transmitted the overall appearance of Rupert Fitz in memory to the general-purpose recorder through the brain wave data, and the general-purpose recorder restored the brain wave data into a three-dimensional image, which appeared on the general-purpose recorder. on the recorder.

Seeing the stereoscopic image of Rupert Fitz, Filoria felt very novel. Due to her height, she had to squat down to get a closer look.

At first, she shook her head slightly. It seemed that she felt that the image of the middle-aged man in front of her was completely different from the Fitz in his memory, but when she took a closer look, she felt something strange. Zi's ​​image seemed to be overlapping with the middle-aged man in front of her, and when the two finally overlapped completely, she had a surprised look on her face, because she found that the two people who were originally completely different in appearance made people feel like the same person a feeling of.

"Is this your witchcraft?" Filoria frowned slightly, turned to Leo and asked, "Why do I feel that he and Fitz are the same person, they are clearly different?"

"Do you really feel that they are one person?" Leo confirmed immediately upon hearing this.

Filoria said in a deep voice: "Yes, they are obviously not the same person, but I feel that they are the same person. Isn't this your witchcraft at work?"

Leo shook his head and said: "Of course it's not witchcraft. You forgot. I said before that except for the power of nature, no supernatural power can be used. If you don't believe me, try yourself. other forces."

Filoria didn't fully believe Leo's words. She tried to invoke the symbiotic power of her partner, the ice bear. As Leo said, this power was like a pool of stagnant water without causing any waves. , is completely different from the force of nature on her body.

Filoria asked with a puzzled face: "If it wasn't your witchcraft, how could it be so weird? Two people with completely different appearances make people feel like the same person."

"The same person, maybe!" Leo pointed to the stereoscopic image of Rupert Fitz, and said, "His name is Rupert Fitz, and I suspect he is the same person as your brother Fitz."

Filoria was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, but after laughing twice, she stopped again and asked in confirmation, "You're not joking."

Leo shook his head, and then took the initiative to tell about Rupert Fitz. As a former main political opponent, Sylvia had collected a lot of information on Rupert Fitz back then, so Leo I also know a lot about the life of Rupert Fitz.

Because things were too weird, Filoria listened intently to what Leo said from the very beginning, and soon a complete image of Rupert Fitz appeared in her mind, and it was the same as her memory. This time, she realized why she thought these two people with completely different appearances could be the same person, because both of them have eyes full of curiosity and ambition, and their methods of doing things are also very different. Similar, like copying each other's behavior patterns.

"Yes, he is Fitz." Before the narration about Rupert Fitz was finished, Filoria stood up and said with great certainty.

Hearing this, Leo stopped the narration, and also withdrew the operations on the general-purpose recorder, but the expression on his face did not change because of the confirmation of the news, and was still full of confusion and doubts, because he had more I was wondering why Fitz or Rupert Fitz who had Fitz's blood would appear in the world of Velen.

It was to find the white deer that made him. This was the first answer that came to Leo's mind, or the only answer.

Because the Black Forest in the Velen World is very close to the White Deer’s Deer Park, and the White Deer often appears in the Black Forest, so the dust accumulation of the White Deer in the Velen World is far greater than that seen in other worlds. Opportunity.

As for his contact with the Faran royal family, even at the expense of becoming a subordinate of the Faran royal family, it is very likely because the Faran royal family is the person who has the most contact with the White Hart in the world of Velen, and the Faran royal family also has the means to safely enter and exit the Black Forest. Contract Wonders.

However, what puzzled Leo was that according to Sylvia's information, Rupert Fitz should have many chances to get the ring representing the contract with the Black Forest, but he did nothing until later Until the gray mist beast horde appeared, he had been wandering outside the Black Forest, and there was no record of him getting close to the Black Forest

Thinking of this, Leo suddenly turned to Filoria and asked, "If you forcibly lifted the forbidden memory, or even violated the mission agreement with Bailu, will you have any punishment?"

Filoria hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "There will be problems with our inheritance, not only memory, but even the power of bloodlines will be affected. After all, our bloodlines all come from our lord, and disobedience to our lord is tantamount to violating Own."

After listening to Filoria's words, Leo's face also showed a look of surprise. He knew that Rupert Fitz, the bloodline inheritor of Fitz, had obtained the memory of the bloodline inheritance, but it was not complete. Looking for the White Deer may be because he was affected by blood memory, but he forgot what he was looking for for the White Deer, so he kept wandering around the Black Forest and did not take a step towards the Black Forest.

This also allows many mysteries about Rupert Fitz to be answered, such as why Rupert Fitz knows how to use some devices made by cosmic civilizations, why Rupert Fitz does not have extraordinary powers, but But he is very familiar with the generation of extraordinary power, and can even use his knowledge to recruit some people with extraordinary power, such as the blood wizard Lawrence.

At this time, Filoria couldn't help the doubts in her heart, and asked, "Where did you meet Fitz? How is he doing now? Why do I feel that the Velen you mentioned doesn't seem like a country in the south?" ?”

Leo thought about it for a while, and finally told the truth about Rupert Fitz and about the world of Velen.

After hearing this, Filoria was stunned for a long time. The source of her blood has been in this world since she was born, and she even lived in the snowfield. The blood has been passed down for so many generations and has never left the snowfield, so she never thought of anything other than Other than this world, there are other worlds, and even other worlds are bigger and more magical than this world.

And when Leo mentioned the Black Forest and the White Deer, she couldn't help being impulsive and asked, "How do I get to the Velen world you mentioned?"

Leo said bluntly: "I have to ask Bailu. I came to this world under the covert manipulation of Bailu. If I want to leave this world, I should also need his help."

Seeing that the matter involved the White Deer, Filoria smiled and didn't continue to ask. Instead, she asked Leo about Rupert Fitz, especially Rupert Fitz's current situation.

Naturally, Leo wouldn't say anything, although judging from various circumstances, the relationship between that Fitz and all his brothers and sisters was not good, but judging from Filoria's performance, the family affection generated by blood inheritance memory is not It didn't just disappear. If Filoria was told the truth about Rupert Fitz, maybe Filoria might turn against him at this very moment.

Leo used the topic to ask which incubator Fitz lived in back then, but Filoria shook her head, and then told Leo that Fitz didn't have an exclusive room, and he usually picked a brother at random. The sister's room is lived for a while, and then another brother and sister live for a while.

When introducing the situation, Filoria remembered another thing and said, "However, he has a small warehouse where all his collections are stored."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked under the tree's mother, then drew out the knife at her waist, and raised a baffle on the ground not far from the tree's mother's root, revealing a downward passage, the passage itself There is no such thing as an escalator, but now metal plates made of rolled metal sheets are inserted, arranged staggered at a fixed height, forming a ladder.

The passage is a bit narrow and small. If Filoria hadn't changed her figure and shape because she became a descendant of a god, she should be able to squeeze into this passage, but now her figure can't even pass through the passage. Can't get in.

Seeing this situation, Filoria let Leo go in alone, and hoped that if Leo found a metal box engraved with antlers in the Fitz Collection House, he would bring it out and give it to her.

After Leo said that there was no problem, he got into the passage, quickly descended along the metal escalator made by Fitz, and soon reached the bottom.

The moment he fell to the bottom, the lighting system on this floor was automatically activated immediately, illuminating the surrounding things.

I saw that this is a warehouse just as Filoria said, but this warehouse is not used to store Fitz's collection. The original purpose of this warehouse is probably to store the remains of the failed experiment of the brood spaceship. , because the first thing Leo saw was not the various items scattered on the ground, but the signs on the surrounding walls. Those signs were the general signs set by the Universal Council, and they represented only one meaning, which was the corpse.

Leo carefully inspected the room, especially the collections left by Fitz in the room, and soon he discovered that several items in those collections were control modules that were not used by the incubator. group, and these modules are still produced by the Earth Federation, because there is also the logo and item number of the Earth Federation's production company on it.

From the completeness of the control modules, it is not difficult to see that the dismantling process does not rely on brute force like those incubators seen before. Obviously, the people who disassemble these control modules have a certain understanding of related devices , mastered some dismantling methods, even if some brute force was used in some places, other positions were disassembled in the normal way.

By interpreting the item numbers and various function panels on the control modules, Leo quickly determined that these control modules should be part of an ultra-low temperature freezing device, which has a wide range of uses, such as transporting special products from other galaxies Fruits, etc. Of course, corpses are also one of them. The army especially likes to use this device to transport corpses in large quantities.

And now this discovery also made Leo realize that Fitz must have found and opened the warehouse where the remains of the failed experiment were stored in this room, and obtained some knowledge about this brood spaceship from some devices in the warehouse. There are some simple ways to disassemble the device.

Thinking of this, Leo began to search for any tiny trace left by Fitz in this big empty room.
