The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Sylvia took off the soiled gloves, threw them in a garbage dump, and then ordered the people waiting outside the city management meeting to go in and clean up the venue. Now there is no need to put those bloody things on the ground. Put it there until she comes.

The captain sent to her by the Belmont family quickly followed Sylvia, obediently lowering her head slightly, waiting for Sylvia's order.

"No! The situation here is different from what happened to those in the family. Although they are all caused by abyssal creatures, they are two completely different abyssal creatures." Sylvia seemed to be talking to herself, Said: "That guy can't bear it anymore, his hunting instinct will make him lose his mind, so don't disband those members of the family, and continue to monitor."

Hearing Sylvia's order, the member of the Belmont family was rather reluctant, because they had been monitoring Movit Road and several surrounding cities for almost half a month, but still had nothing to gain, they all felt that The target should have moved to other places, there is no need to continue to monitor so foolishly.

Although he thought so in his heart, the captain didn't dare to say it out. He could only lower his head and replied, "I will obey your orders, ma'am."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked away, leaving only a few female servants arranged by the family behind Sylvia.

The group quickly returned to the contact point set up by the Belmont family on Movit Road. The location of this contact point was chosen in the middle of the third block, occupying a small apartment area. The entire area looked like a castle. Surrounded by three-storey townhouses, the center is a tower house with local characteristics.

This was originally the office of the city's finance department, but now that the finance department has been dismantled to the finance department of another department, this office is naturally vacant. It was later bought by the Belmont family and transformed into a family contact point.

Since the establishment of the contact point, the Belmont family has stationed about 500 people here, of which about 450 are vassals of the Belmont family in other places, and only 50 or 60 are members of the side branch of the Belmont family. , Among the more than fifty members of the Belmont family, more than a dozen are experienced heresy hunters.

Although the Church of the True God has the least influence in the polar mountains, it is not the first choice for those heretics, heretics, and evil beings hunted down by the Church of the True God.

One is because the living environment here is so harsh, only the locals can get used to the harsh environment here, and outsiders, especially those from the warmer regions in the south, will all come here without exception because of various inability to adapt. If you choose to leave, only a few people with extraordinary mental and physical fitness can stay.

The second is because the primitive beliefs of the tribes in the polar mountains themselves are very popular, which just fills the vacancy of the Church of the True God. Among these primitive beliefs that use tribes or bloodlines as the link of inheritance, there are many existences with powerful and extraordinary powers. Come to the Church of True God, if the inheritors of these primitive beliefs catch those heretics, heresies, or the existence of evil power, they are more willing to sacrifice them to nature in a more cruel way, which will make these primitive people The inheritors of the faith are more like cultists than cultists, so during the sacrifice process, the sacrificed will definitely hope that they are caught by the people of the Church of True God, and sincerely regret that they chose the polar mountains as a place of refuge .

Although due to various reasons, those evil beings such as cultists would not choose the polar mountains as the first choice of refuge, but there will always be a few who are inevitable and can only hide in the north, and these people are not only powerful Powerful, and extremely good at disguising, the crimes committed are unrecognizable. It may be difficult to deal with these evil elites with the power of the special departments that deal with such people in every city in the polar mountains. It is troublesome and expensive to send those inheritors of primitive beliefs from various tribes, and those people often cause greater casualties and damage when they arrest evil heretics.

So when the Belmont family, the world's top heresy hunters, wanted to establish a contact point on Movitt Road, the city management of Movitt Road was extremely happy, and all the procedures were easily passed, even the house and land of the liaison office. It was sold to the Belmont family at the lowest price, and the Belmont family also cooperated very well in allowing their family members to participate in various things in the city to hunt heretics, and thus obtained some privileges.

The case that attracted Sylvia this time was also one of the cases that the City Management Committee invited the Belmont family to participate in, but they only treated this case as a general case of evil and heresy at the beginning, and Sylvia Accidentally saw the relevant report, and immediately analyzed that the case must involve abyssal creatures, and this case is not an isolated case, it is one of a series of cases, but the management of Movit Road and the heresy hunters of Belmont will These serial cases were treated as isolated cases.

After returning to the family liaison office, Sylvia went directly to the office prepared by the family, and then ordered several attendants to find all the murder files that occurred on Movit Road and surrounding cities in recent years .

Before coming to Movit Road, Sylvia just thought that there was a low-level creature or middle-level race running from the abyss hiding here to make trouble, but at the scene of the murder just now, she discovered that the evil that committed this case The heresy is actually another kind of abyssal creature, not the one that attracted her, so on the way, she suspected that there were not only one or two hidden abyssal creatures in the polar mountains, and there were many more. Maybe she could learn from the murders that happened in the past. Found some clues to find out how many abyssal creatures have infiltrated here,

Because I often work with the hunters and guards of the management committee, a case file is also kept in the Belmont family's liaison office, and these files are sorted out. After Sylvia ordered it, it will be related soon. The file was sent to Sylvia, and even those attendants went far beyond the standard to sort out the files of various homicide cases that occurred in other cities far away that Sylvia did not order. The archival time can be traced back to more than two hundred years ago at the earliest.

Watching the staff bring in the files covered with a thick layer of dust one after another, gradually filling up all the open space in the office, Sylvia didn't say anything, and directly picked up all the files in the city on Movit Road recently. The file of the case was flipped through.

Although there are so many files in the file, they pile up like a hill, but Sylvia doesn't need to read all the content in the file, she only needs to read a few key points, so after only half an hour, she has put Mo She browsed all the relevant files of Werther Road and found what she wanted to find.

Sylvia ordered to take back the documents that had been browsed, and at the same time took out a pen and wrote the number three on a piece of note paper.

After her orders, she discovered that there are at least three different groups of abyssal creatures lurking in Movit Road, an important city where the polar mountains communicate with the outside world, and each group should have more than ten to fifteen ethnic groups. The two groups should be low-level abyssal creatures with a certain amount of wisdom, and the remaining group is the middle-level abyssal race. The relationship between the three should be subordinate. The middle-guard abyssal race group controls and controls the abyssal creatures of the other two groups. , but she still doesn't know what kind of creatures and races these three abyssal races are.

Under normal circumstances, lower abyssal creatures do not have intelligence, they act instinctively, like beasts, maybe even worse than wild beasts, but there are exceptions to everything, and there are some lower abyssal creatures who can possess a certain amount of wisdom and can control their instincts Impulsive, and even if these intelligent lower abyssal creatures have wisdom, it is impossible to change the nature of their lower abyssal creatures, so they will generally become the prey and food of other abyssal races.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Some middle-level abyssal races like to absorb these intelligent lower-level abyssal creatures as vassals, and some even form a symbiotic relationship, so the power of these abyssal creatures becomes chaotic and mixed. It is impossible to identify their species from the breath of power, just like what happened to Sylvia now. The moment she stepped into the scene of the case, she was sure that it was the work of creatures from the abyss, but she couldn't tell what kind of abyss it was. biology.

Afterwards, Sylvia continued to look through the case files of other cities, and the more she read, the more surprised she was, because she found that the polar mountains seemed to have become an outpost of abyssal creatures, and almost every There are more than two abyssal groups in the city. By analyzing the death characteristics of victims in some cases, she even analyzed the identities of some abyssal groups. There are traces of the activities of the upper race in the abyss, and what is interesting is that this upper race in the abyss turned out to be the partner of a missionary of the Church of the True God, and from various signs, the missionary of the Church of the True God seems to know the identity of his partner, so he Will take the initiative to cover for it.

After discovering the traces of this race in the abyss, Sylvia suddenly lost interest in other materials, she stopped looking through the case files, and told the attendants: "These files are useless, let someone move them back! In addition, you immediately go and get me all the books that record the relevant information of the sage Polostein of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, the more detailed the better."

Hearing Sylvia's order, the attendants were all stunned for a while, looking at the case files that had just been moved not long ago, their faces showed a little displeasure, but soon they returned to normal, and then obeyed According to Sylvia's order, the data files that had just been moved in not long ago were moved out, and according to the new order, books that recorded the deeds of the sage Bolostan of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge were collected.

Just when Sylvia was about to get up and go to the next room to take a rest, and wait for the attendants to collect the information before continuing the investigation, she suddenly stood where she was, and followed to an empty corner of the room, thinking He said, "Have you finished your work?"

Just as Sylvia's voice fell, Leo's figure appeared out of thin air in that empty corner, looked at her with a smile, and responded: "It can be said that it's over, but something is different from what I expected." , he looked Sylvia up and down, and said: "You were able to find me hidden in the space. It seems that you have gained a lot during this period of time!"

Leo had already come here just now when Sylvia was still checking the case files of other cities, but he did not disturb Sylvia, but used witchcraft to hide himself in the cracks of the space, and waited Sylvia will show up again when she is done.

According to Leo's previous understanding of Sylvia, it should be impossible for him to be discovered by the spatial invisibility created by the fusion of high tower witchcraft, but Sylvia knew his location so simply. , and also knew that he was the one who performed this witchcraft, obviously Sylvia's ability was much stronger than when she was separated from him last time.

"There are indeed some gains." Sylvia admitted Leo's guess, but she didn't specify what the gains were, but it was not difficult to see from the smug expression on her face that the gains should not be a star, and then she changed the topic back to When it came to Leo, he asked suspiciously: "What do you mean it's different from what you expected? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"There is no difficulty, but..." Leo thought for a while and said, "I found that we seem to have been calculated."

"Calculation? What's going on?" Sylvia asked puzzled.

Afterwards, Leo recounted in detail what happened after he and Sylvia separated. Halfway through, the servants of the Belmont family were delivering the materials Sylvia ordered, so the two of them moved to the next room to continue talking.

When Leo finished talking about his experience during this period, Sylvia's face also became a little gloomy. After all, he was calculated and manipulated from the very beginning. She felt fortunate that Bailu had no malice towards them, but just borrowed their power and identity to move the pawns buried in this world, so the two had no loss, or more precisely, they On the contrary, the harvest was full, so Sylvia's inner anger and displeasure were quickly suppressed.

Perhaps for the sake of fairness, after Leo finished talking about his experience during this period, Sylvia also talked about what she had encountered during this period. As she said before, she had gained something during this period. Although these gains It sounds like an understatement, but it is actually very valuable, because what she harvested were two divine remains containing the natural gods of the polar mountains, and it was these two remains that gave her life form a leap-forward sublimation. She can already touch the mysteries of higher-level life forms.
