The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Gude family is an old family in the Mosang Continent. They are different from other Mosang Continental families. They are not families established by conquerors, but the aboriginal tribes of the Mosang Continent. They can also be called tribal families.

As one of the earliest tribes on the Mozan continent that came into contact with the Sigma expedition fleet, the Good family has a completely different attitude from other tribes. They are very willing to contact these foreign civilizations, and even take the initiative to learn the language of the Sigma Kingdom, and have a long-term relationship with the Sigma fleet. Normal commercial trade, and even later sent tribal children to join the Sigma fleet and intermarry with people from foreign kingdoms such as Sigma.

It is precisely because of the positive and friendly attitude of the Gude family that when the Kingdom of Sigma invaded the Mosang Continent, it did not wipe out the Gude Family's tribe, but strongly supported the Gude Family as an important force to conquer the Mosang Continent. The Good family also changed from a tribe to a family from then on.

In the war of aggression against the Wakanha civilization by the Sigma adventurers back then, although the Goode family was not the main force, they were also one of the participants. learn.

For others, the Wakanha disappeared long ago with the disappearance of the Wakanha civilization, but the Good family knows that the Wakanha have always been alive and well, even in Mozambique. All countries in the mainland have established underground organizations with considerable influence.

The reason why the Wakanhas are not extinct is mainly because the Good family does not want the Wakanhas to become extinct.

The Gude tribe and the Wakanha people are feuds, and the children of the tribe are often captured by the Wakanha tribe as sacrifices. Therefore, in the process of assisting the Sigma army to invade Wakanha, they will not feel guilty at all, but will be extremely Be active, and sometimes even ask to fight on the front line.

However, as the great plague completely destroyed the Wakanha people, the Kingdom of Sigma had become the ruler in the Mozambique continent, and the attitude of the Sigma people towards the Gude family began to change.

At that time, the decision makers of the Gude family were very keenly aware that the situation was not good, so they slowed down the arrest of the remaining Wakhanhas, and secretly supported the Wakhanhas to help them contact other people who were destroyed by the Sigmar Kingdom. Horde, and even assisted them in the assassination of Sigmar officials.

It is also because of this practice of raising the bandits' self-respect that the Kingdom of Sigma had to continue to rely on the Gude family, and did not do other unfavorable things, so that the power of the Gude family can be continued smoothly.

After many conflicts and secret contacts with the Gude family, the underground organization of the Wakhanha also knew the Gude family's thoughts. Although they hated the Gude family, they hated the Kingdom of Sigma even more, so they were willing to cooperate with the Gude family. The German family acted to strengthen themselves.

After more than a hundred years, the Wakanha people also began to intermarry with foreigners, and the mixed blood within the ethnic group increased. Coupled with the contact with the civilizations of other continental countries, the cognition of the civilization of Wakanha itself is very shallow, so Without such deep hatred, it is naturally the same for the Gude family.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. There is a Wakanha Revival Organization in the Wakanha underground organization. This organization aims to revive the Wakanha civilization and is hostile to all people and forces related to the collapse of the Wakanha civilization. The Gude family played an important role in the process of the collapse of the Wakhanha civilization, even one of the leaders, and was naturally the target of their hatred. Nearly half of the Gude family members who died accidentally were killed by this organization. Assassinated.

However, more than 20 years ago, the Wakanha revival organization shifted its attack target to other forces, coupled with the mediation of other underground organizations in Wakanha, the relationship between the Gude family and this organization has been greatly improved. Relax, there is no one in the family who was assassinated by this organization again.

And now, Wakhanha's killer reappeared and attacked the Goode family. Although the target of the assassination was not a member of the Goode family, it was an important person related to the Goode family's plan. This was definitely aimed at the Goode family. here.

What Spike Goode is now considering is whether the forces planning the assassination plan are just a few Wakhanha civilization defenders, or the Wakhanha-like underground organization, or the Wakhanha revival organization.

If it's just the Civilization Defender and the general Wakanha underground organization, that's all. Although he will encounter some troubles, it will not be fatal, but if it is the Wakanha Revival Organization, he will be in danger.

Although the Good family ceased fighting with the Wakanha Renaissance shortly after Spike was born, Spike could still feel the shadow of the Wakhanha Brotherhood Assassins since he was a child. Seventeen people from his parents and grandparents died at the hands of these assassins. Since he was sensible, he had to receive a lot of anti-assassination training. The results of these trainings have formed his habits and affected his life. When he sleeps, he keeps a weapon under his pillow.

The appearance of the Wakanda killer now undoubtedly brought back the shadow of Spike's childhood and made him think of many bad things.

"Boss, what's the matter with you?" Diego on the side saw that Spike's face became extremely ugly after listening to his own words, and his eyes were full of panic.

"Pour me a glass of water." Spike didn't answer, but just ordered, and when he took the water that Diego handed over, he asked, "Where's the body? Where is the killer's body?"

"It should be in the woods near Wuwan Town, right?" Diego guessed, "Dior didn't say anything about it, and neither did Leo."

Spike thought for a while, raised his hand and pulled the rope next to the sofa, and soon several middle-aged men in different clothes came in, took off their hats, greeted Spike, and stood quietly next to.

Spike said to a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary cotton jacket: "Rat tail, let your mice move, I want to know how many people in the Port of Lyon are from the Mozambique mainland by this time tomorrow, and how many of those people are there?" What ethnic group is it, and what are you doing here?"

"Okay, boss."

Spike turned to a man in a police uniform again, and said, "Berent, you go back to the police station immediately, mobilize your troops, and search along the road leading to Wuwan Town, especially the forest on both sides of the road. The corpse of an outsider, send it over."

"yes."

Spike turned to the last respectable man with gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Joe, you immediately ask your sparrows to investigate something for me. Does Rembrandt Meister have a Leo Dodd?" s student."

"Leo Dodd?" The gold-rimmed glasses seemed to think of something, and they were taken aback.

Seeing his subordinate's expression, Spike deduced that his subordinate must know something, so he asked, "Joe, do you know Leo Dodd?"

"I don't know if the Leo Dodd you mentioned is the same person as the Leo Dodd I know, but one thing I can be sure of is that there was indeed a Leo Dodd five years ago He has a very close relationship with Master Rembrandt, and lived in that residence for a while, but there is no news that he is a student of Master Rembrandt.”

Spike frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a name from five years ago, you remember it so clearly, I just mentioned it a little bit, and you remembered who he is, this person must have a great reputation, Why haven't I heard of this name?."

"Leo Dodd's reputation is not very big, it can even be said that he has no reputation. I only heard his name occasionally from the conversations of two other people," Jinsi Glasses said truthfully: "The reason why I would like this The name has such a deep impression because this Leo Dodd is likely to be related to the establishment of the United Kingdom."

"What?" Everyone present was shocked when they heard these words.

"How is this possible?" Spike looked skeptical, and then smiled: "It must be those unfounded rumors. I heard some people say that they saw the King of Knights appearing on the sea not long ago. I don't understand why Will the King of Knights go to sea?"

Everyone around laughed.

The gold-rimmed glasses said calmly: "The two people talking are the Count de Maupassant and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom."

The laughter in the room disappeared instantly, only the sound of breathing was heard.

After a while, Spike said: "This Leo Dodd does not need to be investigated for the time being. The meeting between him and Professor Dior may be a coincidence, or it may be some arrangement. As long as he does not affect my affairs, don't investigate. Him." Then, he looked at Diego and said, "Didn't he ask you to help him get the boat ticket for tomorrow? I remember that the Koloa ship is also leaving tomorrow. You can go to the Koloa Shipping Company , Book a first-class ticket for them and send it over. Since that Mr. Leo Dodd is leaving tomorrow, there is no need to investigate to avoid any accidents."

Diego responded, "Yes, boss."

"I hope there will be no accidents!" Spike waved his hand to signal everyone to go down, sighing in his heart.

On the following day, what Spike Goode was worried about did not happen. Since no assassin sneaked into the clubhouse to assassinate Dio Browno, there was no assassination attempt against him.

During this day, Spike Good stayed in the clubhouse to work. There was very strict security in the clubhouse, and there was a secret passage leading to the port of the wealthy area. He could leave through the secret passage at any time if necessary.

Although he was curious about the mysterious origin of Leo Dodd, he did not take the initiative to meet Leo Dodd, nor did he deliberately make friends with him. He just watched from a distance during the dinner welcoming Dior Browno. Leo Dodd glanced at him, and Leo Dodd gave him only one word, which was trouble.

Yes, when he saw Leo Dodd for the first time, he felt that if he got too close to the other party, he would cause big trouble. Although this was just a feeling without any evidence, he believed in his own feeling very much. Because this feeling has helped him many times and allowed him to get to where he is today, so at the dinner party, after he met Dior Browno for a while, he left immediately, without thinking about staying in the restaurant of the clubhouse any longer.

After the dinner, Rat Tail sent the materials he investigated during the day to Spike, but Spike just flipped through them casually, and then threw the materials aside.

Spike never thought that he could rely on a local snake like Rattail to investigate the hidden Wakhanha Assassin. If the Wakhanha Assassin could be discovered so easily, it would not be possible to preserve it to this day.

The reason why he asked Rat Tail to investigate the people from the Mozambique continent was to tell the Wakhanha assassins hidden in the port of Lyon that he already knew of their existence and was ready to defend, implying that these assassins Don't mess around.

Although doing so may make the next assassination more deadly and more difficult to defend, it is the best emergency method he can think of right now.

As for the fact that the assassin's body was not found, this was a bit beyond his expectation, but he didn't suspect that Leo had hidden the body, but thought that it was the people of Wakanha who transported the assassin's body away.

This also made him feel that even if there are assassins in Lyon Port, the number is probably very small, only one or two at most, otherwise, the Wakhanha assassins will definitely not lose only one person, just watch the assassination target leave, and it will be more difficult to be assassinated when entering inside the clubhouse.

Just when Spike became frightened by the appearance of the Wakcanha Assassin, Leo was completely immersed in the ancient civilizations and linguistics told by Dio Browno, quickly accumulating his own knowledge base.

However, when Dior Browno was resting at night, he still secretly left the clubhouse and went to the pier in the Port of Lyon to look for the Wakcanha assassins who might still exist.

Finding the assassin was not a difficult task for Leo, mainly because of the glass crystal left over from the death of the Wakhanha assassin in his hand. According to his estimation, as long as he is a Wakhanha assassin, he should have such a crystal on his body, and in the witchcraft he knows, there is just a way to find the identity of the item through some remnants with strong information. Owner and similar items with similar information.

With almost no effort, Leo found two porters in the worker's apartment at the dock who had the same breath as glass crystals, and it didn't take much effort or time to deal with these two porters.

Just like the killer before, once Leo asked the two porters any questions, even if they just asked some insignificant questions, they would have the kind of backlash that triggered the ban, even if Leo had prepared in advance, Using the power of nightmares to imitate more advanced banning witchcraft can't stop this backlash phenomenon.

However, this time, Leo did not interrupt the backlash before it was fully formed, but quietly waited for the backlash to be completed, and the scene of the final completion surprised him a bit.

I saw that after the granulation completely wrapped the bodies of the two people, they devoured themselves, and the last thing left after devouring was no longer a glass crystal, but a fruit. There are some twisted patterns.

What's more interesting is that Leo has seen this kind of pattern before. The demons in the abandoned city's demon library have this kind of twisted pattern that makes ordinary people feel sick and uncomfortable.
