The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Why did you come to me at this time? Isn't our deal already over?" Leo, who was interrupted to interpret the notes, looked at the fat man in front of him with some dissatisfaction, and said indifferently.

"Mr. Leo, although the old deal is over, can't we have a new deal?" The fat man looked at Leo with a smile, playing with the gem cane in his hand, not at all intimidated by Leo, and smiled Said: "What's more, I helped you not long ago. If it wasn't for my guarantee, do you think those wolfhounds in the special bureau could easily let you go? You must know that although Cousin Nelson and his wife are famous, they are not enough. To influence the decision of the Special Bureau."

The fat man in front of him who suddenly disturbed Leo was Sean Donald, who had a deal with Leo in Nest City a few years ago. En's whole person has become completely different.

After the British royal family retrieved the Poseidon scepter, with this scepter they have the ability to sail at sea during the typhoon period, so that the British royal family can no longer rely on the Congress government for royal finances, and can also reversely influence the Congress government and restore Gaining a part of the rights that had been lost for many years expanded the influence of the royal family.

Sean Donald, who caused the changes in the royal family, was naturally favored by the British royal family. He not only gave Sean a higher title, but even a fief, even if the fief was just a small village, but the This kind of fiefdom has not happened for more than a hundred years, and this incident was very sensational back then.

In addition, Sean Donald also held important positions in the palace and the Congress government, acting as the liaison officer between the Congress and the royal family. Although this position sounds a bit low-status, in fact this position holds real power, and no matter what Whether it has great influence on the royal family or the parliamentary government.

The espionage case has become so big recently, Sean, who is the liaison officer between the Congress and the royal family, should be very busy, but unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared at Leo's place. It seemed that he wanted to hire Leo to do something.

Leo didn't doubt Xiao En's words. He actually felt that the Special Bureau gave up monitoring him, and didn't even bring him to the Special Bureau for questioning. It shouldn't be because of the Nielsen couple's guarantee. Eun's words now only confirmed his suspicions.

"Thank you!" Leo thanked Sean flatly, and then asked directly, "What new deal?"

Although he doesn't have a good impression of Sean, Leo doesn't dislike Sean. In fact, he quite likes to make deals with Sean. At least after the transaction is completed, Sean pays the reward very readily, and there will be no refusal Behavior.

"You know Earl Drake, right?" Sean sensed the disappearance of Leo's dissatisfaction, and stopped playing with the cane. The slight tension in his heart relaxed a little, and then he asked Leo in a mysterious manner. .

Leo looked at Sean coldly, and said, "I'm from England, do you think I know about the Earl of Pirates?"

Hearing this, Sean smiled awkwardly, then straightened his body, and said: "Of course, what I'm talking about can't be about the life of Drake who can casually tell more than a dozen versions, but about Drake's life." Earl Drake’s secret identity that is not known to everyone.” While speaking, he leaned forward again and said, “You must not know that Earl Drake is actually a powerful wizard!”

Hearing Xiao En's words, Leo suddenly had the urge to slap the fat white cheek in front of him, but he didn't take action, but looked at him blankly.

Sean was able to take up the position of liaison officer, so he naturally possessed the ability to read words and deeds, otherwise he would not have survived in such a complicated environment as the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England, and his status and power were growing day by day.

Therefore, he quickly saw the indifference and contempt in Leo's eyes, and even became a little impatient, and realized that he seemed to have said some nonsense.

He coughed twice to ease his embarrassment, and said, "I came to you this time to hire you to help find another artifact bestowed by the sea god on the royal family."

"Another Seagod Artifact?" Leo frowned, wondering: "As far as I know, the only Seagod Artifact owned by the royal family seems to be the Seagod Scepter, where did another Seagod Artifact appear? "

"It is true that there is another Seagod Artifact, but not many people know about this artifact, let alone you, even inside the royal family, there are only three or four people who know about it." Sean stood up proudly. Hold your chest out, as if it's a great honor to know this secret.

Leo ignored Sean's embarrassment, but thought about Sean's words for a while, and analyzed: "If I guessed correctly, this Sea God Artifact should have been lost a long time ago, right? Otherwise it would be impossible A little rumor has been passed around."

"Indeed!" Sean nodded and continued: "Before landing in the Kingdom of England, the migratory fleet led by the royal family encountered a huge storm at sea. Although they were able to sail through the storm with the power of the scepter, However, some deep-sea monsters that came with the storm were not something the fleet could deal with. In order to protect the fleet, the royal family took another Poseidon artifact and made a deal with the deep-sea monsters, and thus came to the islands safely and established a kingdom. .”

Leo frowned, and fell into deep thought again. It's not that he didn't believe Xiao En's words. He mainly didn't understand the monsters and sea gods in the sea, although the mark of the web weaver was full of various gods Knowledge, but what makes people feel strange is that there is only a lack of records of sea gods, as if there are no gods in the ocean, which is completely opposite to the prosperous sea god beliefs in the kingdoms of England, Sigma and other ocean kingdoms.

Therefore, now that Sea God was involved in the matter Sean mentioned, this made him unable to adapt for a while, who was used to having complete information for analysis.

However, Leo quickly adjusted and continued to ask Sean: "How could this matter have something to do with Earl Drake?"

Xiao En explained: "The royal family is not willing to lose the artifact, because the power of an incomplete Seagod artifact will be greatly reduced, so the royal family has sent people to find another Seagod artifact more than once in the past, hoping to complete the Seagod artifact. Earl Drake is also one of the entrusted to find the artifact, and he is the only one who is closest to the artifact, and may even have obtained the artifact."

"Why does the royal family think that Earl Drake has obtained the Sea God Artifact?" Leo asked slightly puzzled.

"Because the lost Poseidon artifact appeared in that crucial naval battle, and helped the Royal Navy and Earl Drake to turn the tide of the battle, or win in the end." Sean gave the answer, and then said: "And If you look at the life of Earl Drake, you will find that after that naval battle, he has been almost invincible at sea, and he has not encountered any danger. Except that he got the Sea God's Scepter and the Sea God's favor, which can explain all of this. I can't think of any other possibility."

Leo shook his head slightly, and retorted: "You also said before that Earl Drake is a very powerful wizard. Couldn't he use his witchcraft to help him navigate safely at sea?"

Shawn shook his head, and revealed another secret: "Back then, Earl Drake was not the only wizard under the command of the royal family. The royal family also had a more powerful wizard, and it was impossible for that powerful wizard to influence the sea through witchcraft. , not to mention Earl Drake."

"The royal family of England also controlled other wizards?" Leo showed a little surprised expression.

"I only found out about this news in the past few years." Sean realized that he had slipped his tongue, hesitated a little, and simply revealed some secrets to persuade Leo, saying: "I didn't know the reason back then, is there any reason?" The young wizards left the mainland of Velen and Minsk, and went to the mainland of Mosang. The Kingdom of England, as a transit point, is the place where these wizards will inevitably stay. The Kingdom of England also tried its best to win over some wizards. Earl Drake It's one of them."

When Leo heard this, he immediately thought of the disappearance of the tower, so he asked: "Do you know the final whereabouts of those wizards?"

"I don't know about this either, I just know that the last place they arrived was in the wasteland." Sean replied.

"Wasteland?" Leo frowned slightly, then changed the topic back, and said, "Since we already knew that the Sea God Artifact was in the hands of Earl Drake, and the royal family has the help of powerful wizards, why didn't we ask for the artifact back?" ?”

Sean smiled wryly, and said: "It is precisely because the artifact is in the hands of Earl Drake that the royal family dare not act rashly, because as long as the artifact is mastered, Earl Drake will be invincible at sea, even if it is the member of the royal family. It is impossible for wizards to pose a threat to Earl Drake."

Leo asked again: "I remember that Earl Drake lived on the shore all the time, why..."

Sean said helplessly: "At that time, the wizard of the royal family had passed away. In fact, the royal family has been waiting for the opportunity to retrieve the artifact. For example, after the death of Earl Drake, the royal family searched the Earl's mansion carefully, and even... "

As he spoke, he stopped, with a little embarrassment on his face.

"There's still a tomb, right?" Leo said after taking Xiao En's words.

"After all, this matter is not very glorious. After the death of the hero of the kingdom, the royal family broke into the hero's grave to search for items." Leo's bluntness made Xiao En's embarrassment a little more, and he picked up the bag again. Playing with a gem cane to relieve the pressure in his heart, he continued: "The royal family did not find anything related to the Sea God artifact, and the royal family did not find the body of Earl Drake, so the royal family believes that Earl Drake is not dead. "

Leo asked: "You are looking for me now, is it because you discovered the whereabouts of Earl Drake and wanted to hire me to grab the Sea God artifact?"

"No, in fact, the royal family made a mistake from the very beginning. Earl Drake was really dead, but his body and all his belongings were not placed in the cemetery we know now, but Put it in his real cemetery." As Sean spoke, he took out an old book from the purse in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "Mr. Leo, have you read this book? ?”

"Death Valley?" Leo looked down at the old publication, his eyes fell on the title of the publication, he shook his head slightly, and said, "I haven't read it, is this book related to Earl Drake? "

"The tomb of Earl Drake is in Death Valley." Sean said very formally: "I hope to hire you, Mr. Leo, to go to Death Valley to find Earl Drake's tomb and find out where it is hidden. The Seagod artifact inside."

"Are you so sure that the Seagod Artifact is in Earl Drake's tomb?" Leo asked with some doubts, "What if there is no Seagod Artifact in Earl Drake's tomb?"

Sean said with great certainty: "Impossible, there must be, because the royal family has evidence that cannot be doubted, but these evidences are not suitable for publication."

Leo didn't ask for evidence, but thought about it seriously and asked, "What benefits can I get?"

Sean thought for a while and said, "As long as it's not beyond my ability, you can make whatever request you want."

"Just ask?" Leo chuckled, and then said: "The wizard in the royal family should have left a lot of inheritance after his death! I want all the inheritance of that wizard."

"This..." Sean hesitated, and said with a little embarrassment: "These things have always been kept by the royal family, I..."

"Needless to say!" Leo pointed to the door and said, "Now you can leave, when you can get what I want, come to me again!"

Seeing Leo's order to expel guests so directly, Sean couldn't stay any longer. The main reason is that he was so full of words at the beginning, but now that Leo put forward conditions, he couldn't do it, so he continued to talk. It just brings things to a standstill. Although he has recruited more than one group of people to do this, for some reason, he is more willing to believe in Leo's ability. After all, Leo found the Poseidon Scepter, and he thinks that maybe Leo can find it this time. Another Seagod artifact.

Sean didn't say much, just got up and left, but when he left, he also played a trick, he didn't take back the book he took out just now, and put it on Leo's desk .

Regarding Sean's tricks, Leo saw it in his eyes, and he was very clear in his heart. In fact, even if Sean didn't keep this book, he would ask the housekeeper to buy the same book later, because he really loved Drake. The Earl became interested in the real tomb, even if there was no reward from Sean, he would still take a trip, but there is no need to hand over the things he finds.

So after Sean left, Leo stopped studying Sir Roland's notebook, but picked up the Death Valley and looked at it carefully.

Although the book is very thick, Leo flipped through it very quickly. It took less than an hour, and Leo had memorized the whole book, but after memorizing this book, Leo's face turned pale. With a puzzled look on his face, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, did Sean take the wrong book.
