The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is he a student of Master Rembrandt?" Diffie Roosevelt was very surprised, because after he got the notebook, there were two people who could help him decipher the text on the notebook. One was his teacher Roland. Sir, the other one is old Rembrandt.

At that time, he sent someone to invite old man Rembrandt, but it was a pity that old man Rembrandt had already gone to Mozambique for archaeology, which made his hope come to nothing. So much so that the work of deciphering the notes has fallen into a bottleneck period. He also thinks that it may have something to do with not inviting the old man Rembrandt, so this time he plans to go to the mainland of Mozambique in person to see if he can invite the old man Rembrandt to assist him. Decipher the text.

Now that a student of the old man Rembrandt came here, the timing was so critical that he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. The first thing he thought of was other people who were also interested in this notebook.

It is not a secret that he has a notebook of Earl Drake in his hand. In fact, many people competed with him for this notebook at the time, but they finally withdrew from the competition because they did not have enough cash with them. In his opinion Those who quit must be unwilling and want to take this notebook from him.

Although it is still unclear what is recorded in this notebook full of strange words, Diffie Roosevelt knows exactly what kind of person Earl Drake is who wrote this notebook. High tower wizards, only those who have really come into contact with the group of wizards understand what kind of existence high tower wizards are. In the eyes of wizards, high tower wizards are as powerful and mysterious as gods in the eyes of believers.

In fact, until now, no one can be sure whether Earl Drake is really dead, because tomb robbers have visited Earl Drake’s cemetery in the past, except for some unlucky ones who died in the cemetery mechanism, or Some clever thieves came out safely and brought out some valuables, and these tomb robbers claimed that Earl Drake's coffin was empty and there was no body.

To ordinary people, this situation is easy to explain. Earl Drake's body should have been stolen by his enemies. After all, countless enemy navies and pirates died in the hands of Earl Drake, and one or two of them slipped through the net. fish. These fish that slipped through the net could not take revenge during Earl Drake's lifetime, so they could only steal his body to vent their anger after Earl Drake's death.

But for people like Diffie Roosevelt who know the real identity of Earl Drake, one thing is clear, that is, the cemetery of Earl Drake known to the world is absolutely impossible to be real, because the organs arranged in the entire cemetery They were all mechanical mechanisms, nothing related to witchcraft, otherwise the grave robbers would never have come out alive, so they felt that Earl Drake was not actually dead, his death was just a disguise.

It is precisely because of the awe of Earl Drake that even if someone covets the relics left by Earl Drake, no one dares to use strong means to snatch it. Earl Lake's relics were sold, and there was no problem with this matter.

Therefore, in the past so many years, those who coveted the relics of Earl Drake have tried every means to guide the descendants of Earl Drake to spend money lavishly, and finally made Earl Drake's mansion, whose wealth was comparable to that of the Duke of Buckingham, become An empty shell, the descendants of Earl Drake had to take out the relics of their ancestors to sell in order to maintain their decent aristocratic life, and the notebook that fell into the hands of Diffie Roosevelt was one of them.

Just a year ago, the descendants of Earl Drake took out five pieces of the relics of Earl Drake and sent them to the Royal Auction for auction. Diffie Roosevelt was actually going to buy one of Earl Drake's carry ring.

As an apprentice wizard, he could easily discover that the ring was actually a rare wizard item, but he was not the only one who knew this. Comparable to each other, and they came prepared, but in the end this ring was not able to be photographed smoothly.

And the notebook written in mysterious characters naturally became his second attention. Originally, he planned to buy this notebook at a low price, because after the incident of Drake's prank, he was very concerned about Drake. The number of people who are interested in the notes has decreased a lot, and the price will naturally not be raised.

The so-called Drake prank is actually related to a Drake notebook written in a different ancient language that was previously sold. The descendants of Earl Drake once sold a notebook of Earl Drake, which was also written in Written in a very ancient language, the person who bought the notebook took it home and asked someone to translate it, only to find that the notebook was actually a fantasy novel written by Earl Drake when he was bored on the ship and was worthless .

In the eyes of many people, this notebook, which is also written in an unknown ancient language, is probably the same as the previous notebooks, and it is also something written by Earl Drake when he was bored, so most people think that this notebook at the auction Not many people are interested.

However, what Diffie Roosevelt did not expect was that when the auction started, there were still many people who showed strong interest in this notebook and participated in the auction. In the end, Diffie Roosevelt had to exceed his expectations. Bought this notebook for three times the price.

At the beginning, Diffie Roosevelt was a little apprehensive about buying this notebook, because he was also a linguist himself, but he couldn't understand the language in this notebook at all, which made him suspect that this notebook could be used again. It was a prank written by Earl Drake, and even he was a little hesitant to ask Sir Roland to decipher the language of this notebook.

But some things that happened later made him sure that this notebook was not simple. The first thing was that several nobles of considerable status contacted him, hoping to buy the notebook from him at a price of 100% per day. It was more than five times the price at the auction, and the second thing was that some of the main houses of the Roosevelt family were invaded in various places, and these houses were all places where he once stayed.

It was precisely because of these things that he realized that the notebook might be more difficult than he expected, so he specially invited Sir Roland to form a team to decipher the notebook.

It's just that the deciphering work has been difficult from the very beginning. The text above is not any known text in the Vinylon world, but a completely new text, so there is no way to find a way to interpret it from the root language.

When the matter was at a bottleneck, the previous few nobles contacted him again, this time the price was ten times higher than before, and they also hinted to him that the notes were useless in his hands during the conversation, he could not know What is the text, so he suspects that Sir Roland's team has the eyes and ears arranged by these nobles, otherwise it would be impossible to understand the progress of the notes so clearly.

This time Sir Roland came to Dorset Harbor to escape, he thought about letting Sir Roland rebuild the team, and Sir Roland also had this intention, thinking that changing some people might have some good ideas.

But at this moment, this Leo Dodd appeared inexplicably, and he seemed to have a very deep knowledge of ancient linguistics, so he was a very suitable new team member. No matter how you look at it, this kind of coincidence makes people feel Like it was prearranged.

At this time, he also thought that the place where Leo lives now belongs to the royal family. The transfer process of this property is very strange, and one of the few nobles who came into contact with him this time represents the royal family, which made him unable to help. Practice both.

Although Diffie Roosevelt's question sounded like he was confirming Leo's identity, both Leo and Sir Roland could vaguely sense Diffie Roosevelt's repulsive attitude, and neither of them knew why Diffie Roosevelt would be such an attitude.

"I can't be regarded as his student, I just studied with him for a short period of time." Although Leo felt the change in Diffie Roosevelt's attitude, he vaguely speculated that something might be wrong, but there was no sign on his face. Show any unusual emotions and answer truthfully.

"Sorry, Mr. Leo, if you are really a student of Master Rembrandt, then I would be very happy for you to join this team, but now you... what a pity!" Diffie Roosevelt very directly rejected Sir Roland's invitation to Lei Ou's decision to join the team did not care about Sir Roland's face at all, and Sir Roland only frowned slightly, and did not open his mouth to defend Leo.

Facing Diffie Roosevelt's direct attitude, Leo smiled instead, and said, "I think you may have misunderstood, I just came here to meet Sir Roland, after all, I heard old Rembrandt mention it many times I've passed Jazz, I'm just curious. As for the team that Sir Roland mentioned, I don't know what team it is, and I haven't thought about what team I want to join. After all, I have a lot of things to deal with at hand, and I don't want to waste time. On some uninteresting stuff."

"A boring thing?" Leo's words not only made Diffie Roosevelt feel a little displeased, but even Sir Roland's eyes showed a little dissatisfaction. After all, he spent nearly a year studying the kind of boredom that Leo said. things, and what's worse is that these boring things have not yet come to fruition.

Diffie Roosevelt suppressed his displeasure with Leo, kept his tone as calm as possible, and said: "Sorry, Sir Roland and I need to discuss some personal matters, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present, so please ask Mr. Leo to leave. The banquet is being held, I hope that Mr. Leo can have a good time at the banquet."

Seeing that Diffie Roosevelt started chasing the guests, Leo didn't intend to stay any longer. He stood up, saluted Sir Roland, and then walked out of the room directly.

Although he walked out of the room, his mental network was still shrouded in the room, because he wanted to know why Diffie Roosevelt's attitude suddenly changed so much.

Just when Leo walked out of the room and closed the door, Sir Roland couldn't help being puzzled, and asked the answer to the question that Leo also wanted to know, and Diffie Roosevelt did not hide his concerns.

After hearing Diffie Roosevelt's words, Leo couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that when he came here, it was so unfortunate that Diffie Roosevelt finally regarded him as a spy for other nobles.

After learning the truth, Leo couldn't help becoming interested in the Earl Drake's notebook in Diffie Roosevelt's hand, but he also expected to get some useful information from Diffie Roosevelt, since someone already knew The value of that notebook, then of course the black market with the best news will have similar news, he only needs to use money to buy news, and there is no need to take any risky moves at all.

After returning to the garden of the mansion, Leo did not leave immediately, but walked around in the garden, had some conversations with other people, and also explained some factory owners who will be useful in the future, just like the vast majority here Just like normal guests.

However, at this time, Leo could feel that there were many eyes staring at him around him, and the source of those eyes was either the guards of the mansion, or the servants who shuttled back and forth. Obviously Diffie Roosevelt was not at ease with Leo, even if Leo Ou has already left the house, and he is still worried about Leo's unusual behavior in the mansion.

Leo didn't care about these surveillance-like sights. He always behaved in the same way as normal people. It wasn't until people left the banquet that he walked out of the Marquis Roosevelt's mansion under numerous surveillance sights and boarded the The carriage returned to the apartment.

The matter did not end because of Leo's departure. In the next few days, Leo could always find some people watching his apartment through the spiritual network. Obviously, these people should be Diffie Roosevelt The person sent here, he probably wanted to know from himself who was interested in the notes in his hand.

It's a pity that these surveillance initiatives didn't produce any results. Leo didn't go out at all in the past few days, and he was always doing various witchcraft research and practice in the apartment's laboratory or study.

Afterwards, news came that Diffie Roosevelt had left Port of Dorset, and Sir Roland was accompanying him. It seemed that they were planning to reorganize their team in another place.

Although both Diffie Roosevelt and Sir Roland have left, Leo feels that this matter is not over yet, and they should meet soon.

The reason why he is so confident is that when he saw Sir Roland, he found that Sir Roland's health was not good enough. Sir Roland will fall ill in a short time, and the research team that has lost its backbone will definitely have to find a new leader. Candidate, and this candidate is likely to be the old man Rembrandt. It's just that the matter at hand of Rembrandt is much more important than translating notes written by others for a nobleman, so it is definitely impossible for Rembrandt to agree to become the leader of this team.

At that time, Sir Roland will definitely think of him again, and if there is no accident, he should recommend him to join the team that interprets the notes.
