The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"The ring of knowledge!" Old Beren recognized the object in Leo's hand at a glance, and leaned forward with a face of novelty, looked carefully, and said: "There is no mark, it is a new ring of knowledge." As he spoke, he looked at Leo curiously like a child, and asked without hesitation, "What knowledge did you gain from it?"

"Some incomprehensible knowledge?" Leo said casually without giving a correct answer.

"It's right if you don't understand it." Old Belen didn't think Leo was lying, he said excitedly: "If you can understand it, you will be able to know the secrets of the sky, which are secrets covered by the gods, and also The secret of our origin."

Leo noticed an interesting little detail hidden in old Beren's nervous chatter, and immediately asked, "The secrets hidden by the gods? Are the gods preventing us from obtaining the knowledge of the ring of knowledge?"

"Hey!" Old Beren smiled, but didn't answer Leo's question, as if he was worried.

Leo didn't ask any further questions, and continued to ask, as if changing the subject, he said, "Did you come to Skull Bay this time for the treasure of the Pirate King?"

"No, my purpose is to go to the Guga Desert, and Skull Bay is just passing by." Old Beren shook his head and said, "In addition, the treasure of the Pirate King in Skull Bay is not very attractive to me."

While the two were talking, the Ice Queen had sailed into the armband harbor of Skull Island. Under the command of the old captain, all the sails on the ship were retracted, and the reins thrown by the barge at the nearby pier were tied to the The bow of the ship was pulled closer to the pier by the barge.

"Why?" Leo asked puzzled.

"What why?" Old Beren was stunned.

Leo asked straightforwardly: "Why are you not interested in the treasures of the Pirate King? You must know that there are five treasures of the Pirate King here, and there are countless treasures hidden here. Why are you not interested in this?"

Old Belen curled his lips and said, "Not interested, just not interested, there is no reason?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have lost interest in talking with Leo. Without saying hello, he turned around and walked off the deck, and went back to his cabin to prepare for going ashore.

Leo watched Old Beren's figure disappear on the deck, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Although the old Belem denied it, Leo could see that the other party should be aiming at the treasure of the Pirate King, and it is not difficult to see from some previous clues that he might be interested in the treasure of the Pirate King because of Old Beren Induced secretly.

Leo thought about it carefully, the reason why he was interested in the Pirate King was because of the statistical list of treasures, and the statistical list was put on the table by those treasure hunters.

At that time, the page on the directory happened to be in the magic book of the tower wizard. Although many of the demonstration pictures on the cover of the magic book had problems, the origin of the magic book could still be seen, let alone in the magic book. There is also a series of simple instructions below, even if Leo did not see the corresponding magic book records in Death Valley, he would still be interested in this magic book.

At that time, I didn't feel anything unusual when I saw this incident. It seemed that I had taken the initiative to become interested in the treasure of the Pirate King, but now it seems that there are many loopholes in it.

The first is the statistical list. Although things related to treasures are very popular due to the upsurge of the pirate king’s treasures, the list of what kind of treasures are particularly popular in the treasures. There are more than 100 related versions.

But the statistical list that attracted Leo's attention at that time was obviously not the popular statistical list on the market. Those ordinary statistical lists almost all recorded various treasures, but did not involve any strange objects with extraordinary power. Only a few dark world organizations have such a complete list of Pirate King's treasures.

If the publicly-identified treasure hunters on board were superhumans and joined some dark world organization, it wouldn't be surprising to have such a list.

But the problem is that none of those people are superhumans, and judging from their speech and behavior, they are not even professional treasure hunters. They are just a group of rich people who saw the news in the newspaper and came to join in the fun and experience a treasure hunting adventure.

It is absolutely impossible for this kind of person to have such a complete treasure list of the Pirate King, so that list must belong to other people, and from the degree of indifference these people paid to that list, they randomly threw it on the table for Leo to see , I'm afraid they didn't think that the list belonged to them in their hearts, and even their actions of putting the list on the table were just putting back things that didn't belong to them.

Think about these people coming to the lounge and seeing a pirate king's treasure list they are interested in on the table, so they pick it up and look through it. Although there are many strange things in the list, they didn't know it. They just thought it was another version of the list. After reading it, they put the list back to its original place, next to the chair that Leo often made.

As for the night when they happened to spread the list on the magic book, obviously they just put the list as much as possible as when they first saw it, that is to say, the list was spread out at the beginning, and the pages were turned to the magic book. one page.

If Old Beren hadn't appeared, Leo wouldn't have doubted that list, but now Leo is almost sure that the list should belong to Old Beren, and it seems that only Old Beren has the qualifications on board. Bring out this special edition Pirate King Treasure List.

Old Belem obviously recognized Leo during the gambling game on the boat that day, and he should have known Leo's ability from the old man Rembrandt, so he prepared such a small bait and appeared in front of him again. Then wait for Leo to take the initiative to find him to participate in the search for the pirate king's treasure.

Although Leo didn't know whether his deduction was correct, he didn't care much about the treasure of the Pirate King himself. He would never act according to the old Beren's idea. He planned to find it by himself. The treasure of the Pirate King, there is no Find it, and leave with the ship two days later, without delay.

Under the guidance of the towing boat, the Snow Queen docked steadily beside the pier. After being greeted by the waiter on board, everyone disembarked and got into several carriages that had been waiting there for a long time.

Leo didn't go with the car, but asked the old captain for the hotel occupancy certificate he booked, and walked towards the pirate town below Skull Island.

The Pirate Town was rebuilt from the former pirate houses. All the houses remained the same as the original life of the pirates on the island, but the interior was reinforced and some more convenient steam mechanical devices were installed.

Most of the people living in the pirate town wore the distinctive costumes of those days, and their behavior and behavior imitated the pirates at that time. Even their speech also spoke the pirate language that was a combination of Sigma and English at that time. All in all, it was as much as possible. The scene at that time.

In order to allow tourists to integrate into this environment more realistically, the town government also set up a free clothing changing point at the entrance, allowing tourists to choose clothes that match the style of the time for free, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the environment at that time , to experience the life of a pirate.

Of course, not everyone likes this kind of immersive play experience, and some people are willing to keep it as it is, so at first glance, Pirate Town looks like a world where time and space intersect, but it adds a different atmosphere here. It has also become a major feature here.

After Leo entered the town, he asked directly where the busiest tavern was and went straight to this tavern. Soon he entered the most lively and largest tavern in this town.

As the kid who showed him the way said, this place is indeed the busiest tavern, the tavern is overcrowded, every table is full of people, and some people are sitting on the ground, it doesn’t look like a tavern, It looks like the scene of an open class of an academic master.

Leo grabbed a tourist and asked the reason, and the person said impatiently: "The three-legged people will come to announce the range of the sea they are searching for later, we scattered treasure hunters will go to other sea areas at that time That’s enough, so as not to conflict with the three-legged people.”

Without thinking too much, Leo could already tell that this three-legged organization is probably a local organization that specializes in finding the treasure of the Pirate King, and this organization looks very powerful, and there are even shadows of the local government and navy behind it, otherwise, It is also impossible to do things like blockade the sea area.

At this time, a few men in pirate costumes came in from the other door of the tavern. The people in the tavern immediately gave up a way when they saw the people coming, and then they saw those people and took out a map. Pinned it on the bulletin board in the tavern, turned around and left without saying much afterwards.

After those people left, other people in the tavern immediately stepped forward, looked at the map carefully, and then let out curses full of dissatisfaction, but they could only curse a few words, not Dare to really conflict with the three-legged man, after cursing, he drank two sips of wine, and they all broke up.

The moment Leo hung up the map, he could clearly see the markings on the sea area above. It has to be said that the three-legged people did a bit too much, because nearly half of the sea area of ​​Skull Bay was marked by them, and these From the conversations of the people around, it is not difficult to hear that the marked sea areas are all sea areas that have not been explored on a large scale, and it is very likely that the treasure of the Pirate King is located.

Similarly, those scattered treasure hunters in the tavern did not dare to question the division of the three legs to explore the sea area, because the three legs not only have the support of the Skull Island Town Council behind them, but also the three people who make up this treasure hunting organization are also unusual, namely Sigma The retired generals of the three countries, England, America, and Canada. The organization they formed is not called Three Legs, but the United Sea Area Exploration Company. Nicknamed Three Legged by those who didn't like them.

The strength of the three legs is very strong. They have mastered 20 large and small ships, all of which are refitted warships equipped with the latest steam engines. Moreover, the members of the organization are all retired soldiers from the Three Kingdoms Navy. Their equipment may not be comparable to that of ordinary small country navies. .

Leo didn't inquire seriously about the three-legged matter, he was more concerned about the treasure, so he ordered a glass of wine and sat in a corner of the tavern, quietly listening to the complaints of some treasure hunters in the tavern, listening to some The rumors that good people have heard from nowhere.

Soon Leo heard some useful news. For example, the three legs recruited a scholar who specialized in ocean currents at the Sigma Kingdom Ocean College. He deduced the location of the box based on the location where the fisherman found the box, the ocean currents at that time, and the time of the earthquake. The approximate location of the treasure.

In addition, someone found a hidden pirate base on Big Bitou Island. Judging from the remaining items and facilities there, it should be built by the pirate king Redbeard, and Redbeard happened to be the owner of the treasure discovered by the fisherman. Big Nose Island happened to be in the middle of the ocean current route inferred by the ocean current scholar.

What's interesting is that although the three legs demarcated the sea area they explored, they did not include Big Nose Island. This made the treasure hunters on Skull Island feel that they had found some opportunity, and now they are discussing what to prepare to go to Big Nose Island to explore.

Leo did not intend to go to Big Nose Island like the others. The location he chose to explore was actually Little Nose Island not far from Big Nose Island, which was the island in the middle of the sea area demarcated by three legs.

The reason why Leo made such a judgment and chose Little Nose Island was not based on any useful clues, but guessing the intentions of the three legs.

With the three-legged news network, it is impossible not to know about the base built by Redbeard on Big Nose Island, and they are not interested in Big Nose Island, probably because they have already explored that island and know that there is nothing special about that island. Tell it to row outside of the exploration location.

But Little Nose Island is different. According to people around, the sea area around Little Nose Island has been controlled by three legs for a while. Although the range of the middle sea area is constantly changing, and the exploration rights of some islands are also changing from time to time, but Little Nose Island The right to explore Nose Island has always been under the control of Three Legs, and even Three Legs rented a pirate castle on Little Nose Island for the convenience of exploring the surrounding waters, and stationed a large number of people there.

Although the three-legged work is very secretive, there are still many people who have some thoughts about Little Nose Island, and Leo got some thoughts from the conversations of some of them.

For Leo, there is not much time left for him. He can only try to find the treasure of the Pirate King tonight. thing.

Because in his opinion, it doesn't matter even if other people find the treasure. What needs to be paid attention to is the magic book of the tower wizard. Get the magic book, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the treasure, it can be used as a small game during a trip.
