The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What time is it now? Where am I?" Just as the old seagull was worrying about how to cover up the appearance of a survivor on the Queen Mary, a voice with an English accent and speaking French was in the cabin sounded.

The old seagull was startled immediately, and turned his head to look at the other person in the room. At some point, the survivor lying on the bed had woken up, sat up, and looked at him.

The old seagull did not answer immediately, but looked at the survivor. Although he had already seen his appearance when he was rescued, he didn't know why he felt that the comatose survivor and the waking up in front of him The survivors who came over were totally two people.

It's not that the survivor's appearance has changed, but that the survivor's temperament has changed after waking up. If the survivor in a coma is just a strong man who can be seen everywhere on the pier , then the current survivor is a very noble aristocrat, just looking at his sight makes him have an inexplicable feeling that he dare not look directly.

"This is the Seagull. It is now in the Baran Sea of ​​the Sea of ​​Falling Stars. We are now heading to the port of Yot in the Kingdom of England." Unable to bear the pressure brought by his sight, the old seagull had to turn his head aside, Look at other places, and then say what the other party asked.

After hearing what Old Seagull said, the other party fell silent, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Are you a passenger on the Queen Mary?" the old seagull asked after thinking about it.

The survivor didn't answer, but looked at the old seagull, as if wondering why the old seagull knew about it.

"When I rescued you from the sea, I checked your belongings." The old seagull explained, and then pointed to some odds and ends on the bedside table.

"Yes, I am a passenger on the Queen Mary." The survivor nodded, acknowledging the old seagull's previous guess.

The old seagull was silent for a while, but couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "What happened on the Queen Mary?"

"Why do you ask that?" The survivor was very vigilant, and instantly recognized the old seagull's question, frowned, and asked back: "According to normal circumstances, you should ask how the Queen Mary died? "

"Because there have been too many rumors about the Queen Mary in the past six months. Almost everyone knows that the Kingdom of England uses the Queen Mary to transport very important things, and the French Empire also attaches great importance to this thing." Old Seagull explained After a while, he walked to the bed and sat on a chair, telling the survivors about what happened after the Queen Mary disappeared.

Although the old seagull didn't know the survivor and didn't know the identity of the survivor, when the survivor raised questions, he couldn't help but want to answer the survivor's questions.

After hearing the old seagull's narration, the survivor frowned even tighter, as if he was worried about the Queen Mary, but then he said something to himself, which made the old seagull realize that the reason for the other party's frown was basically related to The Queen Mary has nothing to do.

"I didn't expect that half a year has passed." The survivor muttered to himself.

The old seagull felt that in the eyes of this survivor, the mobilization of the two countries was an understatement, but the half a year after the death was a very important event, which made him wonder what the identity of the survivor was.

"Who are you?" The old seagull couldn't help asking.

"Leo Dodd." The survivor did not hide anything, and said in a deep voice.

Yes, this survivor is Leo Dodd who was sent out of the subspace by the victims. After he left the subspace, he fell into a coma and didn't wake up until just now. Memory, let alone the process of passing through the subspace.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Did anything happen before you rescued me?"

Leo just asked casually, but the old seagull's expression made him understand that the other party must have seen something surprising.

The old seagull didn't intend to hide anything. After all, everyone on the boat knew about it, and they could ask it casually, so the mysterious island appeared in the air and dropped, and then disintegrated and disappeared when it was about to fall into the sea. Said everything in full.

After listening, Leo had a thoughtful expression on his face.

He almost didn't need to think about it, it was very clear that Yam Island had disappeared, and this disappearance was not just disappearing from the world of Velen, but a real disappearance.

The disintegration scene described by the old seagull, Leo had seen before, this is not the rejection of some world power, but the decay phenomenon caused by the compression of positive and negative spaces when traveling through the subspace, and this decay phenomenon is irreversible Yes, even if an Omega-level advanced life form encounters this situation, it is only a dead end.

Leo couldn't help but think about the situation of the victims, the Eyeless Nurse, and the like. Although Yamu Island has encountered a decay phenomenon, it doesn't mean that the victims have also encountered it, and the other party can safely send him out of the subspace. Look, the other party must still have the strength to protect Wumu and the others.

What Leo really feels sorry for now is the unsolved secrets on Yam Island. These secrets must be related to the world of Velen and other connected worlds. will remain a mystery.

When Leo was deep in thought, the old seagull suddenly proposed: "I hope that you are a passenger of the Queen Mary and that you are not rumored to be a victim of other ships. I don't think your Excellency would like to meet Unnecessary trouble."

"Yes." Even if Old Seagull didn't mention it, Leo would still ask Old Seagull to do so. Although in his current situation, he didn't need to worry too much about the governments of the two countries, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Ever since he came to the world of Velen, the strange things he encountered have never stopped, and he seems to be pushed away by an invisible big hand. Even though he enjoys this kind of thing of exploring the mysteries of the world, he still Still feeling very tired and hoping to take a break, preferably a relatively long break.

The old seagull stood up and said, "I'll go and prepare some food and water for you, because you can't find anything good at sea, I hope you don't mind."

"Thank you." Leo could feel the respect in Old Seagull's tone, and he knew very well that the reason for this was due to the suppression of life level. In the future, anyone with a life level lower than him would be more or less Under some influence, just like believers in certain churches will involuntarily lower their stance to some clergy.

After the old seagull left, Leo directly activated the psionic energy, separated the clothes from the sea water on the bed, condensed into a water ball, threw it into the corner of the room, and then lay on the bed again, carefully responding to the victim who sent him out of Asia. In space, he used the word Borinage that was mentally imprinted in his mind.

Leo didn't understand what this word meant, he just knew that this word was related to his body condition, because his deal with the victim was to know what secrets his body was hiding.

He is now carefully recalling all the languages ​​he has mastered, looking for all the information that may be related to the word Bolinaj, but to his surprise, he found a lot of clues related to this word with almost no effort .

Because in all the languages ​​​​of the Velen world he has mastered, there is a word with a pronunciation similar to that of Bolinaj, and these words are all saying the same thing without exception. The shelter, what is even more weird is that these words Archaic words in all languages ​​without exception.

In Velen, the asylum appeared very late. The first real asylum appeared in the Kingdom of Yingying more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the Kingdom of England used an Old English representative similar to Borinage After this thing, shelters in all countries used similar national vocabulary to refer to this thing.

But the problem is that the concept of shelters appeared in the Vinylon world a long time ago. As for how early, it is impossible to verify. Many people think that the concept of shelters existed when civilization appeared in the Vinylon world.

And the ancient concept of the word asylum in all countries in the world of Vinylon has the same meaning, which is to contain all supernormal things.

In fact, it is not only the world of Velen, but also in the Wangcheng, the place where everything ends. The book that the fire girl showed him also records that there is a shelter in the Wangcheng, which is dedicated to collecting and detaining things that threaten the world, and it is built in the catacombs. In Wangcheng, the vocabulary representing the shelter is also a variant of the word Bolinaj.

It can be seen that the concept and vocabulary of the shelter have a common meaning in the world of Velen, the world of Wangcheng, and other possible worlds.

But now the victim uses the meaning of shelter to refer to his body specifically, which means that his body is a special shelter, and its function is likely to house all supernatural powers, such as those of Omega-level advanced life forms. strength.

But what makes Leo feel puzzled is why these ancient gods and outer gods of the Velen world put the mark into him. Judging from the current situation, it seems that only he himself has received a lot of benefits, because he can pass these Mark conversion or some power of the gods, and those gods didn't get any benefits from him, at least not as far as he knew.

It's just that Leo doesn't think that the ancient gods and outer gods in the Velen world are all kind-hearted guys. Since they have paid in advance, they will definitely want to get more from him, but he himself Not knowing what I might be paying for.

However, the victim now provides a clue to Borinage. As long as he can follow the meaning of the word shelter, find the source of this meaning, and know the true meaning of this word, he will be able to know the true mystery of his body .

At this time, the old seagull brought in food and water, as well as some dry clothes, so that when he saw that Leo's body was completely dry, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

But he didn't ask too much, because so many years of experience had let him know that this world was not as ordinary as what he had seen.

"I don't know your name yet?" Leo took the food and water and put them on the bedside. He didn't rush to eat, but asked the old seagull.

After hearing this, the old seagull also introduced himself.

Hearing the name of the old seagull, Leo couldn't help being stunned, because he knew the old seagull not only from the discoverer of new medicinal materials recorded in the medical classics he had read, but also from Rembrandt elder.

During the days when he was studying with old man Rembrandt, he heard old man Rembrandt mention the name Old Seagull more than once. This is his old friend for many years. Seagull's boat.

The old seagull is also a sensitive person. He could easily tell from Leo's expression that Leo knew him. However, he didn't think too much about it, because his reputation in some fields of Velen is indeed not small. He thought Leo knew his name from those channels.

However, the old seagull soon realized that he was wrong.

I saw Leo said very directly: "I heard about you. It was with the old man Rembrandt. He often said that he didn't have many friends, but you were one of his best friends."

"Ah!" The old seagull couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the person in front of him would have something to do with the old man Rembrandt. While he had some good feelings for Leo, he couldn't help but doubt the identities of Leo and the old man Rembrandt, so he asked Said: "What is your relationship with Mr. Rembrandt? A student, or a relative?"

Leo replied: "It can't be regarded as a student. I just learned a few days of knowledge from him, but those few days of study are very important to me, and I understand a lot of things."

"You are already his student." After learning about the relationship between Leo and the old man Rembrandt, the old seagull became more casual, sat on the chair opposite Leo with a smile, and said, "As far as I know Mr. Rembrandt seldom teaches students alone, and the students who are taught by him, no matter how many days they study, are his students.”

Perhaps because of the old man Rembrandt as the link, the relationship between the two has become closer, and the conversation is no longer so formal, but most of the time it is Leo who asks, and the old seagull answers.

The main content of Leo's inquiry is naturally Miria's great plague.

According to the old seagull, the great plague of Miria is now over, but it is not the medical school that ended the plague, but the Imperial Royal Academy of the French Empire. Because of the inaction of the medical school on this matter, and the fact that some people found places in the epidemic area where many medical rescue teams sent by the medical school were conducting some mysterious experiments, the Villen School of Medicine became suspicious of the plague maker for a while. list.

With the help of some caring people, the prestige of medical schools has been hit hard. The governments of various countries have begun to take back some special rights granted to medical schools, and the management of medical schools in various countries has also been directly dispatched from medical schools, and has become appointed by the governments of various countries, depending on the situation. The governments of various countries are preparing to turn the medical school into a pure doctor training school.
