The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Tell me, is it real? Where is it?" Frank Fussen quickly recovered from his laughter, and asked Leo excitedly again.

"Is that important to you?" Leo asked back.

"Of course it's very important, I..." Frank Fussen was about to tell the reason why he paid so much attention to Yam Island, when he suddenly seemed to have some concerns, his words were forcibly cut off when he reached the point of his mouth, and he looked suspiciously at Looking at Leo, he said, "What's your intention in telling me this? What do you know?"

Seeing Frank Fussen like this, Leo faintly felt that the matter about Yam Island should have touched Frank Fussen's deepest privacy, so after the initial excitement, Frank Fussen who calmed down would treat Leo There was a hint of hostility faintly.

It’s no wonder that Frank Fussen is like this. After all, a stranger who just came into contact with you suddenly knows the most private things about you. Anyone will become suspicious after calming down, and suspect that the other party is planning something. As the director of the Special Bureau, this kind of Skepticism is stronger.

Leo asked back: "What do you think I should have planned?" Then, he pointed to the paper in Frank Fusen's hand and said, "I just want to know if you know the meaning of this symbol? If you think this What does the question offend you, you can leave immediately without having to talk to me at all, don't you think?"

Frank Fussen fell silent again, staring at Leo, the look in his eyes changed again and again, sometimes fierce, sometimes worried, but more hesitant.

In the end, Frank Fussen chose to tell his secret, because he knew very well that if he missed Leo, then he might never have the chance to solve his current problems.

"The reason why I want to retire is entirely because I want to find there, that island," Frank Fussen said with an extremely serious expression: "Because my strength comes from that island, and now there is a problem with my strength, So I need to go to sea to find that island, and only by finding that island can I solve my problems."

Although Frank Fussen's words were vague and did not reveal much substantive content, Leo had already heard the problem of Frank Fussen from these words, and he was more sure that Frank Fusen's power should come from the parasite of the holy insect.

It's just that there is a problem with the parasitic holy insect, so Frank Fusen has to give up everything now, to find the source of power, and find a solution to the problem.

Therefore, Leo also revealed a little content appropriately, saying: "That island is called Yam Island."

"Yam Island?" After hearing the name, Frank Fussen immediately fell into memory. After a while, he regained consciousness and muttered to himself: "Yes! Yes! It is Yam Island, That's Yam Island!" Then, he looked at Leo expectantly, and asked, "Since Lord Leo knows the name of that island, you must know where that island is?"

Leo didn't answer right away, but asked: "As far as I know, it's not the first time your Excellency has been to Yamu Island. Why do you seem to not know how to get there?"

Frank Fussen smiled wryly, and said: "Actually, I have been to that island twice before, but my memory has problems both times. I don't know exactly how I got there, and I don't know how I got back? Even for that island All the memory of the island is only a few fragments, if you don't mention it, I can't even remember the name of that island."

Leo asked straight to the point: "I would like to ask a question, is the power in your body obtained after being parasitized by some kind of bug?"

"You?" Frank Fussen looked at Leo in surprise, and tried to guess: "Your Excellency Leo, your strength also comes from..."

"No." Leo shook his head before Frank Fussen finished his questioning, and said, "But I know something about it, with all due respect, even if you go to sea, it may be difficult to reach Yam Island again. .”

"Why?" Frank Fussen asked.

"Because as far as I know, Yamu Island has been destroyed," Leo said a fact, but he quickly added a scope to this fact, saying: "At least in this era, Yamu Island should have been destroyed .”

The reason why Leo said this was entirely because he was not completely sure that Yamu Island had really been destroyed, because the subspace where Yamu Island was located was so special that it connected the past, future and present, just like An eternal time node, analyzed according to the time theory in the Earth Federation universe, that is, Yam Island in his current time period may have been destroyed, but Yam Island in other time periods may still exist.

Frank Fussen exclaimed: "Destroyed? How is this possible? How can it be destroyed?"

"I don't know, I just know it was destroyed." Leo didn't intend to tell his experience, so he responded vaguely.

Frank Fussen could hear that Leo must have concealed something and did not say it, but he did not ask, because with years of experience, he also heard that Leo's description of the destruction of Yam Island was not a lie. For him, the destruction of Yam Island meant that his best hope of solving his physical problems had disappeared, and he no longer cared about the process of destruction.

Now that he heard the bad news, Frank Fussen's face turned pale, but he did not feel desperate, because Yam Island was only his best hope to solve the problem, not his last hope. In fact, he had considered that he would not be able to find Yam Island before, so he had already prepared several sets of plans. It's better than no plan, at least he still has hope.

Leo asked in a deep voice: "If you don't mind, can I take a look at your parasitic saint?"

Frank Fussen couldn't help being stunned when he heard Leo's words, because in his opinion, no matter how unreasonable people are, they shouldn't make such a request, let alone something related to their own life and power. For a stranger like Leo who has just met, even a friend who has been with him for many years may not show it to him.

Even if he made an excessive request, Leo didn't have the slightest intention of introspection. Instead, he added: "I have come into contact with that parasitic holy insect, and I have done some research on it. Maybe it can help you solve your current predicament."

Frank Fussen frowned and looked at Leo with doubts in his eyes. From his fragmented memory, he knew how powerful the parasitic holy insect that empowered him was. Even if he just touched it, he could be easily parasitized by it, and there was no possibility of avoiding it.

If Leo admitted before that his power came from the parasitic saint, then he might believe Leo's words now, but now Leo actually said that he has been in contact with the parasitic saint, and even studied the parasitic saint. It seems that this is completely impossible to achieve.

Because he knows from the memory fragments in his brain that this kind of holy insect is protected by some very powerful giants. If you want to contact these holy insects, you must pass the protection of giants, and if you want to study the holy insect, you need to face the entire city. Black and white religious.

Comparing his memories, he could feel how powerful those giants were, and even with his current strength, he was not sure that he could survive their attacks.

And in his special ability induction, he can feel the strength of Leo. Although Leo is very strong, he is not much stronger than him. It's not near the holy insect, let alone research.

Frank Fussen did not hide the suspicion in his eyes, Leo naturally saw it clearly, and he didn't say anything about it. He didn't intend to explain anything, just smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, just pretend I didn't say it. If you don't have anything to do, please leave. I still have my own things to do."

I don't know if Leo's casual attitude had an effect. The questioning look on Frank Fussen's face weakened a little, and he felt that Leo's words might be true.

However, for Frank Fussen, even if Leo's words were true, he didn't have the courage to let Leo check his body, so he finally saluted Leo, then turned and left the room.

Seeing Frank Fussen leave, Leo didn't feel a pity. Although he could find out the changes and the mystery of the power of the parasitic saint by studying the parasitic saint in Frank Fusen's body, he was also very happy. It is clear that even if useful things are researched, these are just not good for him, they are just to satisfy his curiosity, so he didn't force it.

Not long after Frank Fussen left, Leo also left the hotel secretly. He didn't leave through the main entrance, but went out directly from the window of the living room, and quickly climbed to the inner garden of the hotel through the water pipe next to the window. and climbed over the garden wall into the street.

The reason why Leo took so much trouble to leave the hotel was to solve another small problem that brought him to the capital, the Panier Deputy Envoy Pasa Gukaran who went to the black market to buy his materials.

The location of the Panier Mission is easy to find. In fact, the Panier Mission has been the focus of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England these days, and it is also the center of discussion among the people.

The reason why Panier, the effect of the Mozambique continent, is so valued by all walks of life in the Kingdom of England is mainly because the mission is here to discuss the mining rights of various mines in Panier and the export price of various ores in the next ten years. .

As the kingdom of mountains, Panier has been the most important ore supplier in the Mozambique continent since ancient times. In the group, almost every mountain has different mineral deposits, extending from the inland area to the sea. Speaking of people's jokes, if you pick up a stone from the ground in Panier, it may be a piece of ore raw material.

In the era of great colonialism, various colonial countries once fought hard to control the ore of Panier on the Mozambique continent. The Kingdom of Sigma, the Kingdom of Maris, the French Empire, etc. all had complete control over Panier for a period of time. The experience of Neil Ore, and the Kingdom of England, as the overlord of the sea, was the last colonial country to control Paneer Ore.

However, as the various colonies in the Mozambique continent began to become independent and established a country, Panier, the earliest independent country in the Mozambique continent, also began to try to take back the mining rights from the Kingdom of England.

The Kingdom of England was naturally unwilling to give up such a great benefit, and the Kingdom of England was implementing industrial transformation and national infrastructure construction at that time, requiring an extremely large amount of various ores, and Panier was the most important supplier of ores and the most As a cheap ore supplier, the Kingdom of England would definitely not want to see the Kingdom of Parnell take back those mines.

The two countries have launched several years of negotiations for this, and other kingdoms were also involved in the middle, but they were all dismissed by the tacit understanding of the two. In the end, the two countries each took a step back, and the Kingdom of England retained the mine for fifty years. Mining rights, while the Parnell Kingdom only has the ownership of the mines during these fifty years, and will take back all the rights after fifty years.

This year happened to be the last year of the agreement between the two countries, so Parnell sent a mission to the Kingdom of England to discuss handover matters, and also started a new round of negotiations on mining rights.

In fact, the top management of Parnell did not really want to take back the mine completely, because during the fifty years of mining in the Kingdom of England, the two countries have cooperated very well, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two sides are also very close, and the two sides have become the most friendly brother country.

What's more important is that the Kingdom of England has never defaulted on the payment for each batch of ore. Panier's executives have long been used to collecting money directly. If they really take back all the mining rights, then they have to face a series of ore mining problems. It's a shame, so they secretly ordered the head of the mission to maintain the status quo and increase the transaction price appropriately.

Almost all the missions sent to the Kingdom of England this time were from the Kingdom of Paneer, and all members of the mission had studied in the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of England, and some of them even had real estate in the Kingdom of England. He is an honorary citizen of a city in the Kingdom of England and enjoys the same rights as citizens of the Kingdom of England, except for the right to vote.

Because of this, after the missions came to the Kingdom of England, they did not directly conduct business negotiations with the Congress, but went to their alma maters for a trip to their alma maters.

It is different from the fact that most of the members of the mission chose the Royal Academy when they were studying in the Kingdom of England. When Pasa Gukaran was studying abroad, he chose to come to the seminary in the Kingdom of England to study the theology and religious classics of various churches in the Vinylon world. Research.

After he accompanied the delegation to the Kingdom of England this time, most of the time he did not stay in the embassy in Parnell, but stayed in the library of the seminary, where the Kingdom of England collected theological classics from various churches.

So when Leo left the tavern, he directly stopped a carriage and went to the outskirts of the city where the seminary was located.
