The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

On the second day, the Queen did not travel as planned, because the passengers on board still wanted to spend two days on this small island.

For these passengers, they took this ship to play in various ports of the Pearl Island Chain, but because of the plague, they had no way to continue to play, coupled with the nervousness these days, Let them be mentally exhausted, now they come to this small island with good scenery and relatively safe, they have enjoyed the rare leisure and tranquility these days, so they all want to continue to play here for a few days, and then continue to the next itinerary.

For the old captain, this was exactly what he wanted. After talking with old Belen yesterday, he was also very interested in the metal treasures buried in the seabed. At that time, due to the reason of the voyage plan, he was just going to mark the position of the sea area with the old Belen first, and bring people over to salvage when he came back. However, the request of the passengers now gave him the opportunity to do this private matter in these two days.

As for Leo, he has no objection either. He is now familiar with the devouring power after the change. He often needs to test some of the corresponding skills created. Now that the boat stays on this island, when he needs to test it, he will directly drive the boat away from the coast. Conducting experiments on the open sea will neither disturb others, nor allow others to spy on the secrets of one's own abilities.

In this way, the Ice Queen, which was full of supplies, stayed on this unknown island at the edge of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars for three days. What they didn't know was that there was a plague on the Ice Queen during these three days. There has been a lot of trouble.

Although the plague broke out very suddenly and was quickly extinguished by the people on the Snow Queen, this incident is still frightening. The ports along the Pearl Island Chain all arranged outside the port after receiving the news. Interdiction ships and supply ships.

It seems that they are not going to let the Snow Queen dock. Even if supplies are needed, they will be carried out at sea, and the sailors and soldiers on the supply ship and the interception ship have also prepared leather clothes against the plague on board, and they are all ready to fight. look.

But after that, things became a bit wrong, because the Snow Queen not only did not appear in any port of the Pearl Island Chain, but also did not appear in this sea area.

Some people speculate that the Ice Queen is going directly to the final port of the route on the route of Falling Star Sea, but the news that made things complicated soon came, and this news came from Daliat, that is The Snow Queen is missing.

It would be fine if the Ice Queen was just an ordinary sailing ship, but the problem is that the Ice Queen is the private property of the queen of Deliyat, and the passengers on board are generally rich and powerful, if these people follow Something happened to the Snow Queen, and I'm afraid it will cause quite a mess.

The biggest problem now is that something happened to the Ice Queen, and according to Daliat, it was because the Ice Queen was driven away by the people of the Shackle Island, and was restricted from entering the port by the ports of the Pearl Island chain, so the Ice Queen had to take risks. Taking the route of falling into the sea of ​​stars finally caused the Ice Queen to lose contact now.

Although there are some discrepancies between this statement and the facts, such as the time when the Ice Queen changed its route, the time of various port bans, etc., these differences were deliberately ignored, and in the end, the pressure for the disappearance of the Ice Queen fell on England. Kingdom side.

Although the Kingdom of England and Daliyat do not border each other on land, this does not mean that the Kingdom of Engel has no scruples about Daliyat.

In fact, Daliat produced a special steel that made the steam engine five times more effective than other steam engines, and the armor of the ship made of this steel would be lighter and stronger.

Now the Kingdom of England is negotiating with Daliat about a cooperation project to introduce large quantities of this steel. Yate discusses similar business, and everyone knows who can negotiate this steel, then whoever can quickly improve the strength of the sea and affect the existing sea control areas of various countries, of which the Kingdom of England is naturally the most affected.

Therefore, the Kingdom of England attaches great importance to this matter. As early as a year ago, when the metal was just manufactured, they contacted Dellatte for the first time, and had repeated negotiations with Dellatte. Up to now Although the situation has become a little out of control due to the participation of other countries, in general some things have been negotiated with Daliat, and they are waiting to sign a trade agreement with the Queen.

But now the port of their colony has expelled Queen Daliat's private ship, causing the ship to lose contact. This matter directly affects the steel trade agreement that has been negotiated, allowing other countries to take advantage of it It is no exaggeration to say that the efforts of the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of England over the past year have all been in vain.

Daliat is different from the Kingdom of England. Although the king and the royal family of the Kingdom of England still have some rights, this right can no longer constitute a key influence on the country's major decisions. It can only affect the trend before the decision is made. Parliament is the political center of the Kingdom of England.

But the queen of Dalia has absolute ruling power in this country, and any decision she makes will determine the direction of the country, just like the agreement that is about to be signed now, but because of a piece of paper sent by the queen's maid Article, and completely nullified, completely caught the Kingdom of England by surprise.

Seeing that the trade of that new type of metal has turned around, not only those countries that are spying on the maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of England, but even countries that are not very interested in sea power like Mozambique have begun to send people to Daliat. After all, this metal is not only used to make ship armor, but also can be used to make all kinds of weapons and chariots.

While the outside world was buzzing about the disappearance of the Ice Queen, the crew and passengers of the Ice Queen were enjoying their lives on the small island in the Sea of ​​Falling Stars. They are all a little bit reluctant.

And those who are also reluctant to leave are the old captain, old Belen and the sailors of the Queen who participated in the seabed salvage and treasure hunt, because they know that there must be a lot of valuable Ocada metal buried in the seabed of that sea, And if they don't salvage these metals in time, it will be unknown whether these metals are still in this sea area when they come next time, because the force of ocean currents will take them to unknown places.

In the case of knowing the exact location of the sea area, the salvage time of two days is not short, nor is it very long. After all, those Okada metals are buried in thick soil, which requires a lot of extra effort. Add a needle-in-a-haystack version of searching to find a piece of dirt from the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, these crew members brought by the old captain are all family members with sea power. When they use the power of family members, they are as flexible as all kinds of sea fish in the ocean, and they can also dive for a long time. Seeing objects in the dark, it would be easier for them to find metals buried deep in the silt of the ocean floor.

I have to say that they were very lucky. After two days, they found more than a dozen pieces of Ocada metal, the largest of which was even as big as a square table. Once these metals were sold, everyone who participated in the salvage could become a giant. rich man.

So when they learned that they were going to leave, all the people involved in the salvage mission had the urge to stay, but when the old captain froze and said the queen's name, everyone calmed down and went It was as if the Queen herself had cooled their feverish minds with ice and snow.

They are very clear that although each of them is a free man, they are actually the servants of Queen Daliat. No matter how rich they are and how much power they have, they can face the Queen's order. They can only follow the execution, and the fate of disobeying the order is definitely not something they can bear.

In this way, most of the people on board continued to sail on with their reluctance for this sea area.

However, just after the Snow Queen sailed away from this sea area, got rid of the influence of the residual inert energy in the surrounding air, and got in touch with Daliat's beacon tower, the old captain was stunned by the news from the outside world. , At the same time, he also received an order from the queen, but he didn't know what the order meant, so he habitually came to Leo to ask for countermeasures.

"Let you change the shape of the ship and drive the ship directly to the secret dock?" Leo looked at the content of the order, and then looked at the information collected by the old captain in the past few days, and quickly understood what was going on. Then he looked at the old captain with a strange expression, and said, "Do you know that Queen Dalia asked you to do this to deal with the Kingdom of England, but now you put these in front of me, an Englishman, Ask me the countermeasure?"

Although these materials are all fragmented, Leo still easily connected them together. It is very easy to see that Daliat is dissatisfied with the trade agreement with the Kingdom of England. An excuse to cancel the previously negotiated agreement, and then introduce other countries to compete to get the maximum benefit from it.

"Ah?" The old captain was shocked when he heard the words, and looked down at the above content. Except for the mention of the Kingdom of England in the signing ceremony of the cancellation of the trade agreement at the beginning, there was no other information about the Kingdom of England and England in other materials. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and puzzled by Leo's judgment.

"Don't think too much, just do what your queen tells you!" Although he is from England, Leo doesn't care much about helping the Kingdom of England to obtain the trading rights of special metals. Compared with this, He was more concerned about the problems he encountered at hand, so he handed over the information to the old captain, and gave a simple suggestion. Without talking, he drove the old captain out of the room, closed the door, and restored the storage that he had just recovered. The bones of the Weiya people in the space were taken out.

Leo discovered the abnormality in the bones of the Weiya people yesterday. At that time, he just thought it was some natural changes caused by the change of the environment of the bones, but when he found that the very important feather was missing in the storage space, he realized It was because of that feather that the bones changed.

When he discovered this, Leo was completely stunned. He was planning to give the feather to Rembrandt, and he also agreed to the matter of Rembrandt. The most important thing was that he didn't remember how he got it. Feather, because all the memories related to this feather and the crystal magic book seem to have been erased, and I can't remember it at all.

Now this feather merged with the Weiya man's body, causing the Weiya man's body to change, which made him wonder what to give him when he saw the old man Rembrandt.

After being at a loss for a while, Leo also had to accept the result of losing that feather, and now he regrets that he still doesn't know what the feather does.

But now seeing the fusion of the feather and the Via people's corpse, Leo had a guess about the source of this transportation and trade, that is, this feather may be related to the light of origin.

It's a pity that this is just a guess. Without the feather, Leo can't be sure whether the guess is correct or not. But then again, even if the feather is still there, he has no way to find out the source of the feather, otherwise , he will not wait until now.

Although the body of the Weiya has changed, what puzzled Leo was that he did not find any essential changes in the body. Just like the beginning, this body can perfectly change its own power form, integrate Any kind of extraordinary power.

However, Leo would not really think that the Weiyaren's corpse has not changed in any essential way. After all, the feather itself is a mysterious item with extraordinary power, and now integrating into the Weiyaren's corpse will only bring more and stronger abilities The reason why he didn't notice the change was probably because the method was wrong.

Thinking of this, Leo tried to use other methods to test the corpse, but there was still no result.

"Is it because of this reason?" Leo pondered for a moment, looked at the hand wearing the twin glove, thought for a while, then took off the twin glove, and then stretched out his hand to grab the body of the Weiyaren .

When Leo's hand touched the body of the Via, the neural network-like corpse immediately climbed up Leo's fingers like a molten liquid, covering Leo's body in the blink of an eye. on the skin.

Immediately afterwards, Leo felt his skin was branded with a red-hot iron, and a sharp pain was transmitted from the skin covered by the Via people's corpse.

Leo instinctively used his spiritual energy and various forces in his body to try to peel off the Viaman's corpse from his skin, but he found that it seemed a bit late, the Viaman's body had already fused with his skin, Became his second nervous system like his most perfect conception.

It's just that Leo was not happy at all, because such uncontrollable changes often hide huge dangers, and as he expected, before he had time to think about countermeasures, a force emanated from the second nervous system and enveloped him. His whole body, when his eyes were darkened, his whole body appeared on a strange and desolate planet.
