The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The reason why Leo has such doubts is because the content of this book is completely different from what he thinks. In his opinion, this book is either a horror book or an adventure book just by looking at the title. , but after reading it, I found that this book turned out to be the pastoral love story most loved by women in the Kingdom of England.

The content of the book is about a traveler who was lost in the forest because of the fog during a trip, and accidentally came to a place called Death Valley, where he met some people, some things happened, and he also got love , until he began to feel that life was a bit boring, he went out to travel again, but found that he was once again trapped in the mist, and after leaving the mist, he returned to the place where he lost his way, and then he could not find his way back to Death Valley up.

The content of the whole novel is mainly based on life in Death Valley, and it is full of storylines that should be found in various pastoral novels. It is a very clichéd pastoral novel, and it is not worth reading at all.

However, this novel is not useless. When Leo saw the protagonist in the novel lost in the fog and finally went to a place in the Valley of Death, he immediately thought of the fog that surrounded the worlds. The two seemed to be related .

So even though Leo felt that the book was completely different from what he thought, he still picked up the book and flipped through it again, but this time he read it more seriously.

Perhaps because of the different attitudes, with the same text and content, Leo read some other content hidden between the lines.

In addition to the fog plot that was noticed by Leo at the beginning, the book also mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist of the novel encountered fog in the forest of Josh County, but the problem is that according to Leo's past memory, the geography of Josh County The environment is completely swampy, and there may be a small piece of woods, but there is absolutely no such thing as a forest.

In addition, the author uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the living customs and clothing scenes of Death Valley, so that people who see it have an immersive feeling. No matter the clothes, food, shelter and other things in life, the people are not from the same country and region, but cover the clothing, architecture and food styles of all countries in the world.

It can be seen that the author must be a folklore scholar with rich knowledge, otherwise, even if someone really saw these scenes with their own eyes, I am afraid they would not be able to describe them in such detail.

Therefore, when such a scholar wrote this book, he would never make low-level mistakes in the geographical environment, and Leo felt that the reason why the author wrote this was either because he wanted to hide the real address, or because Josh County really Owning the forest is just invisible to ordinary people.

Compared with the previous guess, Leo is more inclined to the second guess, because judging from the author's rigorous attitude in describing the environment of Death Valley, even if the author wants to hide the real address, he should choose an environment similar to the real address. The place is written in the book without leaving such a big hole.

In addition, in the middle part of the book, there is another storyline that is very noteworthy. In that plot, the protagonist proposes to the woman he falls in love with, and the woman he falls in love with mentions the origins of the residents of Death Valley and some customs and rules of marriage proposal.

In this section, the origin of Death Valley is very interesting. The earliest people who came to Death Valley came from a continent ruled by knights. They were a knight family. Because they were defeated by hostile knights, the family was in danger of being slaughtered. Therefore, they can only choose to venture into the fog on the edge of that continent in order to gain a chance of life.

In the fog, they were attacked by some unknown monsters. After paying some sacrifices, they were lucky enough to pass through the fog and came to the world of Velen, where they settled down.

It was only later that some wars occurred in the world of Velen, and they were displaced again, wandering around the world of Velen, and finally settled down in the relatively stable Kingdom of England, and established Death Valley. The reason for the strange name of Death Valley is because their ancestors Once famous on that continent as the death knight.

If it was just a story about traveling through the fog, it wouldn't interest Leo. What really caught his attention was that when the ancestors of Death Valley escaped from the Knight Continent, they got some information from Catalina. With the help of the knight, he escaped from the enemy's pursuit again and again.

When he saw the name Catalina, Leo naturally thought of Therador of Catalina whom he met outside the royal city where everything ends. Judging by the armor description, it is clear that the two belong to the same country.

If Death Valley really exists, then the ancestors of Death Valley should come from the world where Theredor is, but what Leo really cares about is that these outsiders seem to bring the fog to Velen when they come to the world of Velen world.

In the book, some people in Death Valley mentioned that the foggy forest outside Death Valley was created by their ancestors to protect the tranquility of Death Valley. If this record is true, it means death When Gu's ancestors passed through the fog, they mastered the method of making the fog, or they became the family members of the fog.

After reading the novel for the second time, Leo closed the book, meditated quietly, got up, went outside, went down the stairs, and shouted: "Sangjies, send someone to the bookstore and take all I bought all the books related to Josh County, especially books on folklore and legends."

The butler Sanjays downstairs responded calmly without asking any further questions, and followed Leo's instructions to collect all Josh County's books.

It has to be said that the butler of Sanjays is really outstanding. In less than three hours, he sent all the books in Josh County that he could collect to Leo's study room. There were hundreds of books, large and small. Books, more than half of which are books of folklore.

For the next two days, Leo read these books and found a lot of clues related to Death Valley.

These books contain many legends about the mysterious forest and valley in Josh County, which has become one of the most famous folklore in Josh County, but the legendary forest is not foggy, and the valley is not called Death Valley.

In these legends, without exception, it is mentioned that there is a mysterious forest in the swamp of Josh County. This forest is usually invisible. It will only appear in the swamp when the full moon is full. Not fixed.

For the evaluation of this mysterious forest, the legends and stories show a polarized situation. One is that the forest represents luck, because those who enter the forest can obtain some precious items from the forest when they leave the forest, some are very precious medicinal materials, and some are valuable gems. But another legend thinks that the forest represents bad luck, because many people who saw and entered the forest did not come out again in the end. Many books compare the forest to a monster that devours life.

Compared with the polarization of the forest, all the legends about the forest valley are consistent, that is, mystery, and they are all described in almost the same way. They all write that there is a valley in the forest, but even if you can see that Valley, but no matter what method you use, you can't get close to that valley. It feels like copying each other.

After reading this text, Leo felt that the description in this text might be true, because if he used witchcraft, he could easily do it.

Just when Leo was about to finish the book, Sean Donald came to Leo's apartment again and brought a response.

"So the royal family agreed to my request?" In the study, after hearing what Xiao En said, Leo looked at the box on the table and said, "Is this the wizard's relic? It's just a little ?”

"Of course it's not just that," Xiao En said with a smile, "It's just the deposit we paid."

Leo was not in a hurry to open the box, but looked at Sean thoughtfully, as if he had read Sean's mind.

Sean, who was originally very calm, couldn't help but feel nervous when facing Leo's gaze, but what surprised him was that he only felt this kind of nervousness when facing the royal majesty.

"If I'm not wrong, there should be other people going to Death Valley, right?" Leo smiled and said, "Let me guess, who is it? The Duke of Buckingham can also use the Sea God artifact another family of roses?"

Xiao En smiled wryly, and said, "It's really a headache to negotiate a deal with you! Tell me! What else do you need?"

"No need!" Leo shook his head, picked up the box on the table, put it in his hand, and said, "I'm also very interested in this matter, even without your deal, I will go to Josh County Take a walk. Didn't you leave that book on purpose to make me interested in Death Valley?"

Although his thoughts were exposed face to face, Sean didn't show any embarrassment, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Leo changed the subject and said again: "However, the information you said last time seems to hide something. I hope you can tell me everything you know this time."

Sean said suspiciously: "I didn't hide any information..."

Before Sean finished speaking, Leo raised his hand to stop him, and said, "You haven't told me why the royal family is so sure that Earl Drake's real tomb is in Death Valley? Why are they so sure that Derek Earl Lake is dead?"

"This me..." Xiao En showed a little hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say some sophistry words,

Leo interrupted Sean again, and said very seriously: "Our cooperation should be based on mutual trust, so I don't want you to lie to me, and what I asked is also very important, the key is whether we can successfully find Sea God’s Artifact, you lied to me now, if I can’t find anything because of this reason, who will bear the responsibility?”

Hearing the threatening words, Sean opened his mouth, and in the end he didn't say what he thought of before, but smiled bitterly, and said: "I really regret coming to you now, Leo Dodd gentlemen."

Leo smiled and said, "It's true that you regret it, but the question is, can you find other people? Or is there anyone else who is more likely than me to find the Sea God's Artifact and doesn't care about it?"

Xiao En curled his lips, did not refute Leo's words, and then went straight to the point, saying: "Back then, everyone sent out to find the Sea God artifact left a drop of blood in the hands of the royal family. The royal family can know this drop through special divination. The situation of the owner of the blood. After the death of Earl Drake, the royal family found that the blood of Earl Drake had not changed, so they believed that Earl Drake was still alive."

"So the royal family has never directly sold the descendants of Earl Drake," Leo said, with a sneer on his face.

Sean did not deny Leo's guess, but was a little embarrassed, and then quickly returned to normal, and continued: "Not long ago, the royal family discovered that Earl Drake's blood had changed, and they immediately called a fortune teller Responsible for divination, and finally got the answer that Earl Drake is dead."

"Divination? Is this kind of divination credible?" Leo frowned and asked with some doubts.

Although Leo was interested in Death Valley, he was unwilling to face a powerful tower wizard. If Earl Drake was still alive, he would never accept Sean's employment anyway.

Leo has no doubts about whether a wizard can live for hundreds of years, which sounds absurd, because he is already a fifth-level psyker, and his lifespan may already exceed Two hundred years old, and Earl Drake is a powerful wizard, and there is no doubt that he will live for a long time.

Sean replied firmly: "I don't know about other divinations, but the royal family's divinations are very powerful, and the results of the divinations are very credible."

Leo asked again: "Then the Seagod Artifact will appear in Death Valley, is it also predicted by the fortune-teller?"

Shawn shook his head and said, "Of course not. All divination involving gods is impossible to be accurate, and it is very dangerous. The fortuneteller may even go crazy during the divination. After all, mortals cannot bear the light of gods." He paused, and then said: "There is a set of Seagod artifacts, and there are some mysterious connections between them. They can sense the position of other Seagod artifacts through special methods."

Leo couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Since the royal family already knew that Earl Drake was still alive, and also knew that the Sea God Artifact was in Death Valley, why didn't they find Earl Drake directly, and Drake..."

Sean interrupted Leo, and explained: "No, you made a mistake. The royal family has never known the true whereabouts of the Sea God Artifact. It was not until the death of Earl Drake that they felt it. Presumably Earl Drake used some method to limit the connection of the artifact."
