The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

On the fifth day, the huge and heavy steam locomotive dragged the carriages and slowly stopped on the platform of the railway station on the outskirts of Tranquil City. The train attendants began to go to each carriage to inform the passengers to get off and the train had arrived at the terminal.

"It's only Tranquility City, how come it's the end? Isn't Moonlight City, the capital of Asha County, the end? It's still half Asha County away?" After hearing the news, the fat man looked up. He stared at the flight attendant with dissatisfaction and shouted.

The flight attendant explained helplessly: "Sorry, Mr. Robert, this is an order issued by the governor of Yasha County. No steam trains are allowed to enter the territory of Yasha County. The terminal of all steam trains is at the border of Yasha County. Several cities."

"Governor's Mansion?" Fat Robert was stunned, and said, "Damn it, have I stayed on the train for decades? When will another Governor's Mansion pop up in Asa County? Is this going to Go back to the period of kingship hundreds of years ago?"

Perhaps knowing that Fat Robert would have such a question, the flight attendant took out a copy of yesterday's newspaper and handed it over.

Before Fat Robert took the newspaper, Shelf took the newspaper first, and began to read it with a serious face.

It turned out that just yesterday the Yasha County Government announced its dissolution. The political forces headed by the seven local big families who controlled the civil affairs and military affairs of Yasha County took over the Yasha County Government and announced the establishment of the Yasha County Governor's Mansion. Levin, the patriarch of the largest Quevanden family among the three large families, is the single Governor of Asa County, and has also set up a Governor's Council outside the Governor's Palace to jointly handle government affairs with other families.

Because these seven families control almost all the political and military forces in Yasha County, the change of the government is nothing more than a name change, and everything goes very smoothly.

After the establishment of the Governor's Mansion, the first Governor's Mansion decree announced was to announce that Yasha County would not intervene in the civil war in the Kingdom of Maris, and refused any military forces from both sides to enter Yasha County, which also included transferring from Yasha County to other countries. place and so on.

At the same time, it is also forbidden for any steam train to go deep into the interior of Yasha County, and all foreign steam trains must stop at the border of Yasha County.

After reading this message, both Fat Robert and Sherf showed serious expressions on their faces.

At this time, there was a sudden noise on the platform outside the carriage. It turned out to be a conflict between the local army in Yasha County and the rebel soldiers who followed the train. thing.

In order to prevent the conflict from expanding, Scherf immediately stood up, walked out of the carriage, and went to the dispute to mediate.

After Scherf left, Leo picked up the newspaper, read it quickly, and then asked fat Robert, "Is this Quevaden family the Blood Duke family?"

"Yes," said Fat Robert, nodding.

"The other six families..." Leo pointed to the names of the other six families above.

"They're all Kindred," replied Fat Robert.

Hearing this, Leo began to retrieve information about the blood clan in Yasha County from his memory.

In the dark world, it is not a secret that Asha County is the land of vampires. Even the lowest-level bounty hunters know this place, because when they first entered the profession, they could get a booklet in the black market , the booklet records in detail some very dangerous areas for bounty hunters, including Yasha County.

Most people who understand the situation in Yasha County also have doubts in their hearts, that is why the Orthodox Church allowed the vampire, a red alien, to openly occupy the land of Yasha County, instead of sending people to exterminate these vampires.

There are many related legends from the outside world, but neither the vampire family in Asha County nor the Orthodox Church have explained it.

However, Leo knew something inside. In the handwriting written by a high tower wizard he had seen, it was mentioned that there was a very ancient ancestor alive in the blood clan of Yasha County. It's almost there, and it's very difficult to kill. The Orthodox Church is worried that if they confront the vampires in Asha County head-on, there will be unforeseen and serious consequences. That's why they turn a blind eye to the activities of vampires in Asha County. Eye.

As for the vampires in Yasha County, they are also very knowledgeable. Except for a very small number of vampires who like to make trouble, other vampires will stay in Yasha County honestly. Even if they leave Yasha County, those vampires will also be honest. , will not attack people easily.

In this way, the two sides coexist in this balanced state.

In Yasha County, although the government is appointed by the Kingdom Council on the surface, in fact, except for a few main officials, the rest of the officials are all members of the vampire family. There is a well-known saying in Yasha County The saying goes that the only thing a high official in Asashire can manage is his desk.

As for how many vampire families there are in Asha County, Leo did not collect too much information on this aspect, but he still knows a little about the largest vampire family, the Quivanden family, because in the records of the tower wizard, the half The god vampire is the ancestor of the Quivanden family, and the Quivanden family also has the title of Duke of Blood in the dark world.

There is no doubt that the vampire family in Yasha County is the king here, and the only ones who can fight these vampires are the werewolves who also live here.

As for why vampires and werewolves are enemies to each other, I am afraid that the two races involved have not figured it out. They just know that they are born enemies to each other. Therefore, in the dark world of Yasha County, the battle between vampires and werewolves has never stopped.

However, what is interesting is that no matter how fiercely the two races fight, they will not spread the fight to ordinary people, so although there are also a lot of legends about vampires and werewolves here, most ordinary people here regard these legends as bedside. stories, not knowing that those stories are true.

Just like the ordinary people in Yasha County, the various organizations in the dark world don't know much about the vampires and werewolves in Yasha County. They just know that there are many big families in the two ethnic groups, and they are extremely powerful.

During the period when the gods disappeared, the strength of various organizations in the dark world weakened. The tower wizards who were once powerful enough to fight against the gods disappeared completely, but the vampires and werewolves in Yasha County were not affected. The influence and strength remain the same, which also confirms that the two families are not family members.

However, what makes people feel strange is that this was originally the best time for vampires and werewolves to expand their forces and groups. Even the Orthodox Church could not deal with two families with a large number of extraordinary people at the same time, but they did not expand outwards. Still guarding the land of Yasha County, as if this is their world.

But there are exceptions to everything. There are always some people who will not be content with the status quo. For example, the werewolf Willis that Leo saw in the Kingdom of England should be an alien of a certain ethnic group who does not want to be trapped in one place.

What puzzles Leo is that although werewolves are very powerful, as can be seen from the leader of the wolf gang, Willis, werewolves are indeed extremely powerful. It may be difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to deal with them, but if it is only this strength, they should It's not enough to make the Orthodox Church afraid of it, so that a heresy-swarming area like Yasha County can survive.

You must know that the Orthodox Church can be more than just an organization in the dark world, behind it is the Church of the True God in the entire Velen World, leading out the background of these churches, not to mention one Yasha County, even ten, I am afraid it is not enough Exterminated by the Orthodox Church.

Even if the vampire group has a backer like a demigod, the Orthodox Church has true gods. The king of the hill, the lord of the sky, and the lord of the birth and death of all things can still perform miracles in front of believers, and sell them to solve a demigod. It's not difficult, just like the scene that happened on the top of Quinsis Snow Mountain not long ago.

Therefore, after carefully recalling the various materials about vampires and werewolves in Asha County, Leo always felt that there were too many contradictory contents in these materials, and it was hard not to make people wonder.

At this moment, Leo suddenly looked out the window, and his eyes fell on two officers wearing the uniforms of the Asha County Garrison, with a hint of doubt on his face.

These two seemingly ordinary soldiers are actually two werewolves, and Leo can easily tell their true identities from the unique smell and energy fluctuations of werewolves on their bodies.

If there were only two werewolves, Leo would not have shown such a puzzled expression. After all, it is not surprising to find some werewolves and vampires hidden in the crowd in Yasha County. The reason for his doubts is entirely because of this. The energy fluctuations and physical qualities of the two werewolves were not much weaker than Willis of the wolf gang, almost equivalent to the strength of a third-level psyker.

"Are transcendents with the strength of a third-level psyker already everywhere? How fast is the world changing?" Leo couldn't help wondering.

After discovering these two werewolves, Leo let go of his mental net and checked the surrounding situation. He soon found two werewolves on the platform. Obviously, in order to gain the capital to compete with vampires, the werewolves will definitely infiltrate Among the military forces in Yasha County, judging from the current situation, it seems to be very successful.

And the doubts in Leo's heart also became stronger when he discovered these two werewolves, because he found that the energy fluctuations of these two werewolves were almost equivalent to those of a third-level psyker.

Leo is no longer new to the dark world of Velen. He knows very well what the superhuman beings of the third-level psykers represent. Those who are capable are definitely the level of archbishops with charisma in various churches.

But now in Asha, four werewolves with the strength of level 4 psykers appeared casually, and judging from their overall appearance, their status in the ethnic group does not seem to be high, so that is to say In the werewolf population of Asha County, third-level psykers are just the norm.

That's the case with werewolves, but what about vampires who fight against werewolves? Their situation is probably similar to that of werewolves, which means that the third-level psykers in the dark world in Yasha County are only normal.

Not to mention this kind of thing in the world of Velen, even in the universe, it is considered an abnormal phenomenon, because it is impossible for any city to have so many third-level psykers gather together.

However, everything in front of us is an indisputable fact. Perhaps this is why the Orthodox Church allowed the existence of Yasha County, because the strength of werewolves and vampires in Yasha County is indeed incredible.

"The strength of werewolves and vampires in Yasha County is incredible?" Leo repeatedly chewed on the idea that had just emerged in his mind.

"Mr. Leo, what did you say?" Fat Robert at the side asked Leo when he saw that Leo had been lost in thought just now and heard what Leo seemed to be saying.

Leo did not immediately respond to Fat Robert, but was silent for a while, and asked him: "Do you know the werewolf Willis, the leader of the wolf gang in the Kingdom of England?"

"Of course I know." The fat old man responded immediately: "That guy is a troublemaker. He relied on his own strength to do some stupid things. In the end, he offended people who shouldn't be offended, did things he couldn't do, and was kicked out. Asha County, and finally exiled to the Kingdom of England, established that little gang."

"Is that Willis strong?" Leo asked again.

"Should be very strong!" Fatty Robert thought for a while, and said, "I remember the information said that he was the werewolf most likely to be favored by the wolf god in the entire Asha County wolf clan, and he seemed to have put the wolf All werewolves of his age in the clan have been defeated, so he should be very powerful."

"Is that so?" Leo pondered for a moment, then looked at the werewolf officers outside the train, and suddenly had a look of enlightenment on his face, and muttered to himself: "I know! So it was like this once thing."

Leo realizes that the land of Yasha County may be the mystery. Whether it is a werewolf or a vampire, they should all get extremely powerful external support in this blessed land of Yasha County. These external forces can make their overall strength Double or several times, but also, once they leave here, the external force will disappear, and they will be beaten back to their original shape.

Therefore, the Orthodox Church did not dare to enter Yasha County to capture vampires and werewolves, and werewolves and vampires would not run out of Yasha County to occupy other places.

After thinking about this, Leo's frowning brows relaxed.

The change in Leo's expression was naturally noticed by Fat Robert, who was always paying attention to the situation here. Although he was extremely curious and wanted to know what Leo knew, Leo didn't say anything, but stood up Come on, let's pack up and salute.

"Aren't you going to pack up and salute?" Leo quickly packed up and saluted, then turned his head and asked the fat Robert who was still sitting on the bed.

"Ah!" Fat Robert was stunned, and said, "Maybe there is a turning point..."

"Impossible, those werewolves and vampires will not change their decision." Leo, who knew the real situation of werewolves and vampires, responded very firmly, then picked up his backpack and walked out of the car.
