The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When Berenchina left, Leo was still thinking about the witch's reminder just now. It was obvious that Sylvia wrote to him this time because of certain things, and this matter should be some kind of routine within the witch group. The ceremony, but this ceremony is very dangerous and requires the help of reliable people.

"What kind of ceremony is it?" Leo couldn't help but have a question in his mind, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any information related to it in his brain.

Although the witch troupe in the Vinylon world appeared very early, hundreds of years ago, when the Orthodox witch hunts were on the rise, the entire dark world knew very little about the witch troupe, and even the black market could not find any With regard to internal information, at most they can only know the identities of a few witches. They don't know anything about how the witch group operates, the purpose of this organization, its internal organizational structure, etc.

The only thing that all the forces in the dark world know is that the witch troupe is very powerful. Just those few witches whose identities are already public are enough to make the whole dark world pay attention to them. Wait, but the most famous witch among all the witches is Queen Lia Venistan of the Northern Kingdom of Minsk Continent Daliat.

Leah Venistan is also the only witch who has used her abilities without any scruples in public. When Dariat resisted the Maris Kingdom, the most powerful country in the Minsk mainland, more than ten years ago, Leah Venistan Stan used her ability to freeze hundreds of thousands of troops of the Maris Kingdom in an instant, and killed dozens of royal family members and generals including the crown prince. Expanding outward, Leah Venistan also got the title of an Ice Queen.

The loss of more than 100,000 elite troops in the Kingdom of Maris even made the original occupying countries and joining countries agitated, secretly and continuously resisting the rule of the Kingdom of Maris, and it has not calmed down until now.

Although both Daliyat and the Marris Kingdom claimed that a sudden cold wave caused this result, for the high-level governments of various countries, detailed battle reports about this war have long been placed in their On the desk, there are no secrets at all.

It was precisely because of this incident that all the kingdoms realized the power of the witch, and felt sincere awe of the witch. Even the Orthodox Church silently canceled the witch trial that had been established for hundreds of years, and even took the initiative to To win over witches, for example, Sylvia obtained the status of an Orthodox church at this time.

Leo doesn't know whether there are other witches in the witch group who have the power comparable to the Ice Queen, but judging from the power of the two witches, Sylvia, Lady Su of the Night, and Berenchina the Chant, the other witches in the group are The strength of the members is probably not much weaker than them, so it seems that the Witch Group can indeed be called the most powerful dark world organization in the entire Velen world.

However, such an organization with a large number of strong people actually wants to invite other foreign aid to join in for an internal ceremony of the organization. From this point of view, this ceremony may be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this, Leo not only didn't feel worried, but was very excited, and felt the urge to go to the Minsk mainland.

For the next two days, Leo stayed at the Larson Manor, continuing to record the collection of books here, and did not bid farewell to Leon Larson until he finished recording the last book collection.

I don’t know what Berenchina said to Leon Larson after talking with Leo that day. In short, Leon’s mood seemed to ease a lot. Although he still felt a little afraid of Berenchina and her men, but It's not as frightening as it was at the beginning.

Leo also deliberately found an excuse to sort out the books, implying that Leon Larson could live with him for a while, but was rejected by Leon. It can be seen that he was not forced, but really wanted to stay.

In this regard, Leo didn't say anything more, but said that Leon was his friend again in front of Berenchina, which was a clear indication to Berenchinna.

After returning to the apartment from Larson Manor, Leo began to sort out the various books and materials recorded in the past two days.

It has to be said that, apart from the diary of the wilderness wizard, the books and materials he obtained in the wizard's tower in Death Valley are not comparable to the Larson family's collection in terms of quantity or quality.

The Larson family has always been a famous family of scholars in the Kingdom of England. The hobby of collecting books has become a habit of their family members, and books that can be valued and carefully collected by such a family of scholars are very good Academic books, including research books on various cultures and creatures of the Mozambique continent during the pioneering period, as well as a large number of academic documents on the history of various countries and the entire Vinylon world. All in all, the Larson family is definitely the largest private academic in the entire Vinylon world book collector.

These books just made up for some of Leo's basic knowledge of the entire Vinylon world, such as the customs of various countries, politics, history, and geography, etc., and there are a lot of research content about gods. Of course, these books are prohibited. Few books have put forward some very novel and factual academic viewpoints. For example, some medical school scholars believe that gods are just some high-level life forms, and human beings can also reach the life level of gods through evolution.

These academic books Leo only temporarily recorded the books in his mind through the method of quick memory. Before they were sorted out and consolidated, these memories would disappear at any time, so he ordered the housekeeper to see no one in the past few days after he came back. Close it in the study and concentrate on sorting out these materials.

However, just when Leo finished sorting out all the books and was about to consolidate them again, the butler knocked on his door during the meal time, and Leo, who sensed a problem, opened the door, his eyes swept over the butler, Looking at the two men dressed as police detectives behind the butler, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, these two policemen said that they have a case they want to ask you to understand." The butler immediately explained.

"The case?" Leo frowned and asked, "What case?"

An elderly police detective asked directly: "Mr. Leo, may I ask if you stayed in Larson Manor a few days ago?"

Hearing the detective's words, Leo frowned, and couldn't help thinking of some bad things in his heart, and a trace of anger arose in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but nodded calmly and said: "Yes, I I lived in the Larson Manor for a few days. In those few days, I accepted Mr. Leon Larson’s request to go to his house to read the books of the Larson family. Because there were too many books, I had to stay and read overnight. So I spent those few days in the library of Larson Manor." After speaking, he paused, and with the aura of a higher life form, he asked the police detective in a deep voice: "Why, Leon? Did something happen to Larson?"

Because of the influence of his aura, the old police detective, who was not going to reveal any information, was out of control and replied: "It is true that something happened. The servant of Larson Manor reported that Mr. Leon Larson was missing." , the person who disappeared with him and his new wife, when we inspected the Larson manor, we found a large amount of jewelry and goldware stored in the cellar of the Larson family. After inspection, these jewelry and goldware are all recent The money lost by the nobles and royal families of various countries in the past few years. In addition, we also found that the wife of Leon Larson is not the Countess of the Kingdom of Maris, and her identity is all in disguise, so we suspect that this woman may be a dangerous person. Ready to sneak into the kingdom and do something bad for the royal family."

From the mouth of the police detective, Leo had heard a general situation. It was obvious that Berenchina's identity as a king killer had been found out. Now that she was missing again, it was easy to think of some bad things.

Leo responded briefly, and said, "Sorry, I can't help you much. I just stayed in the library for a few days. I didn't go to other places in the manor, and I didn't see Mrs. Larson."

"In this case, then we won't disturb your rest." The old police detective seemed to believe Leo's words, saluted Leo, and then walked downstairs with his partner.

Watching the detective leave, Leo ordered the butler to inquire about the Larson's house, and then closed the door again.

Outside the apartment, the old police detective led his partner into the carriage and drove to the port police headquarters.

In the car, the young police detective couldn't help but wondered in his heart and asked, "Mr. Bob, why did you let that man go so easily just now? He is obviously very suspicious. We shouldn't take him to the police." Shall we go to the bureau for interrogation?"

Hearing the words, the old police detective couldn't help but cast a blank glance at the colleague beside him, and said, "Now I know why the head is handed over to me. If you do what you want, the police uniform you will wear tomorrow It will be stripped off, do you know who that person was just now?"

The young detective shook his head blankly.

The old police detective explained earnestly: "He is a veteran who has won the Medal of Honor, and he is also a big industrialist in the Port of Sete. The current United Machinery Group is the industry under his name. I heard that this group is fighting with the Kingdom's military. Let’s talk about some military machinery orders, and this person has an unusual relationship with the royal family. The apartment he lives in used to be the property of the royal family, and was later given to this Mr. Leo Dodd. In addition, he and the current freight Mr. Jason, the person in charge of the big pier, and Nelson Matthew and his wife are good friends, now you know why I believed his words so easily, right?"

Hearing the old police detective's explanation, the young police detective immediately showed a look of enlightenment. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he did not act recklessly just now. Otherwise, even if the other party did not blame him, I am afraid that those high-ranking officials in the police station would do it in order to show such a big man. Well, and take the initiative to fire him.

At this moment, Leo, who was in the study of the apartment, didn't know that he already had a certain official status and status in Port of Sete. He was now paying more attention to the disappearance case at Larson's house.

Leo didn't think that Berenzina had done anything to Larson, because there was no conflict of interest between the two, and Berenchina didn't have any malice when she mentioned Larson, not to mention Leo's warning.

If Berenchina really knew about Leo's strength from other witches, she would never take the risk of offending a strong man like Leo, so her relationship with Leon Larson must have been due to other reasons.

At this time, Leo suddenly remembered that Berenchina mentioned that she left the Kingdom of Marris because of the help of Leon Larson, and that she would disguise herself as Leon's wife and hide in the Kingdom of England , which means that there is a powerful danger chasing her, forcing her to hide.

Just when some guesses emerged in Leo's mind, the butler had already inquired about the news from the outside.

From the butler, Leo learned that the Larson Manor had been sealed off by the police station. According to some construction workers who repaired the Larson family's building, the Larson family's main building seemed to be hit by a shell. There are holes everywhere on the wall, the biggest hole is as big as several rooms, and even the whole room has been punctured. All in all, it looks like it has experienced a war.

Hearing this, Leo immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, and he wanted to go to Larson Manor to check it out in person.

However, before Leo left, Jason had already found him and invited him to Larson Manor to help him investigate the case.

After listening to Jason's invitation, Leo frowned and asked, "You took the initiative to take the case of Larson Manor?"

"No, it was assigned from above." Jason shook his head, and seeing Leo's frown, he asked, "Is there something wrong with this case?"

Leo said very firmly: "There are indeed some problems. The person who dispatched the case to you must have no good intentions."

It is impossible for the intelligence agency of the Special Bureau not to know who the Mrs. Larson who lived in the Larson Manor before was. They knew very well that the investigation of this matter was a dead end, and they would be punished if they could not find out.

The question now is which side is the person who handed over the case to Jason. If it is the royal family, it should be because Jason took the initiative to hand over the invitation letter to his own boss. Before Jason was promoted, let Jason die in the mission, so as to give a warning to other people who are still hesitating whether they should join the supervision department.

In addition to this possibility, it may also be a play directed and performed by Congress itself, which can be used to discredit the royal family and make people who are still in a neutral position resent the royal family and stand on their side.

At the same time, they knew very well that Jason was their friend, and if something happened to Jason, they would definitely pursue it. At that time, they only needed to push the matter of assigning the task to the royal family to get rid of some troubles from his hands. .

Even if nothing happened to Jason, Jason would ask him for help because he couldn't find out the case, and he would also intervene in this matter to help the special bureau solve the King Killer who suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of England.

"Damn it, I'll go find them..." Although Jason hadn't figured out what was going on, he still believed what Leo said and was extremely annoyed.

"It's no use looking for them, they're business-like." Leo boarded Jason's carriage and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Larson Manor, and I'm about to go and see it too."
