The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Afterwards, the group walked through the forest and came to the outside of Beran Manor without encountering any monsters, not even any animals or insects. If the plants were not rooted in the ground and could not move, they even felt that those plants might also be there. They fled before they got close.

Although Leo had dispelled the aura of the Stone Throne, there were still some remaining on him. These auras were undoubtedly like natural enemies to those monsters and animals that relied on instinct, and they would flee immediately if they felt it from a distance.

At this moment, Geralt and others' attitude towards Leo became more and more in awe. After all, the mysterious power that Leo showed just now was far beyond their comprehension. They all subconsciously thought that Leo was a powerful Warlock, a sorcerer so powerful beyond common sense, is similar to the legendary mystic sorcerer who can destroy a country by himself.

When they arrived at the main gate of Bellan Manor, there were guards at the gate. Leo and the others did not go up, but Dandelion went up alone, talked to the guards, and then the guards entered the manor and found the person in charge of the manor. The butler came out and allowed Dandelion to come in after confirming his identity.

However, the butler obviously didn't have a good attitude towards Dandelion, and his gloomy expression became even more ugly when he saw Dandelion beckon Geralt and the others to enter the manor together.

But when the butler saw that Geralt was a demon hunter, the expression on his face changed slightly, and then when he saw Leo and Sylvia wearing abyss armor and dragon hunter armor, his expression changed Bigger, seems to be planning something.

"It looks like we have something to do." Leo who was walking behind noticed the look on the butler, turned his head and whispered to Sylvia beside him.

"What do you think will happen?" Sylvia asked back.

Leo thought for a while and said, "Count Britta."

Sylvia nodded slightly, agreeing with Leo's guess.

No matter how much the butler of the manor hated Dandelion, he still treated Dandelion as the most honored guest according to the Duchess' instructions, and arranged the best room for him with corresponding servants. As for the others, because they did not have the order of the Duchess, the treatment was naturally much worse, and they were arranged in ordinary guest rooms.

In the matter of arranging the rooms, there was an episode. Originally, the butler planned to separate their rooms and arrange them in different locations, but under Geralt's strong opposition, they were all arranged in the servant's room. Among the several rooms near the personal room, according to the housekeeper, only these few rooms are connected together.

Although no one in the room believed this kind of nonsense, there was nothing the housekeeper could do.

"The butler has a problem." After the butler left, Geralt immediately gathered everyone together and said very seriously.

"He should have some relationship with the Earl of Britta and know something about the Earl of Britta." Sylvia saw through the behavior of the butler and said, "But he is not from the Earl of Britta, because He didn't mind helping out with the previous relationship, so Caihui tried to separate us just now to make it easier for Earl Britta to act, but after we refused, he didn't force it, obviously he should be planning to stay out of it. If my guess is right , he should go to inform Count Britta, and we will be able to see Count Britta here in a short time." She paused, looked at the crowd, and said, "You should think about it. What kind of conditions should be put forward, so as not to be in a hurry when Count Britta arrives."

Before anyone else could speak, Angulane said angrily, "What else can we talk about? Kick that guy out, then tell the duchess about him, and let the duchess punish him?"

Mirva on the side also nodded approvingly.

However, the others remained silent on the matter, seeming to be considering Sylvia's words.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you all like this?" Angulane looked at the other people around him blankly, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Because they are all adults, they know that some things cannot be decided based on their mood alone." Sylvia said in a deep voice, "Although your method is very relieving, do you think your method can solve the problem?"

Angulane raised her head and retorted: "Why not? Isn't the Duchess the most powerful person in Toussaint? She can punish whoever she wants!"

Sylvia touched Angullan's head, she really liked this straightforward girl, so she explained very patiently: "It's true that the Duchess is the most powerful person in Toussaint, but she has no right to do whatever she wants. Let alone her, even the emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire must find a suitable reason to dispose of a count."

"Do we have a reason?" Angulane pointed to the survivor who was sitting stiffly opposite, and said, "Isn't he the best reason? Earl Britta brutally killed more than a dozen people, and only one survived. Isn't that the best reason?"

"This kind of reason is untenable." Sylvia looked at the survivor and said, "The murder was definitely not done by Count Britta himself, but by his cronies, right?"

The survivor nodded and said in a low voice, "It was the manor housekeeper who did it."

"You see, Earl Britta just needs to put all the blame on the steward." Sylvia hit Angullan, and continued to hit, "And even if this matter is Britta Count Britta did it himself, and I don’t think the Duchess will punish Count Britta too much for this incident.”

"Why?" Angulane has become weak.

Geralt, who was next to him, saw Angullan's appearance, and wanted to ask Sylvia to stop talking, but in the end he didn't say anything, so that Angullan could understand the world better and let her grow up quickly. Maybe Also a good thing.

"Think about it, the butler of the Duchess' holiday estate actually has contact with Count Britta. Obviously, Count Britta often lives here and has a good relationship with this butler." Sylvia dipped her finger in a little water , quickly drew a tree on the table, and then wrote the Earl of Britta on the top of one branch, and wrote the Duchess on the top of the other branch, and said slowly: "In order to maintain their notice, the nobles often Married with other powerful nobles under his command, the Duchess's family inheritance has been able to firmly control Toussaint for so long. In addition to the support of the Nilfgaard Empire, the support of the internal nobles is also the key, so there must be a blood relationship between them. For the Duchess, those who died were just ordinary civilians, but the living Earl was the cornerstone of her notification to Toussaint. Do you think that as a Duchess who has ruled Toussaint for many years, she would die for some civilians, and still A murder case with insufficient evidence, tearing down a cornerstone of your own throne?"

Angulane didn't say anything, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Milva thought that Sylvia was deliberately endangering Angullan, so he couldn't see it, and asked Sylvia directly, "Since you said that Earl Britta will not be affected at all, then we also propose What condition? He doesn't need to pay attention to us at all."

"Of course we can still negotiate terms. Don't forget that Earl Britta still wants to sell his plantation. As long as he still wants to sell the plantation, he doesn't want rumors about the plantation to be unfavorable. In this way, we Those who know the truth can put forward conditions to him." Sylvia turned to look at the survivor, and said: "For example, let him go, and give him a sum of money, and leave Toussaint. The rewards paid, paid to you and so on."

Hearing Sylvia's words, the survivor's face showed an expression of emotion. Obviously, being able to get out of this crisis was perfect for him.

"Is it just for those who were killed?" Milva couldn't help shouting.

"Of course we can't let it go like this," Sylvia said calmly, "You can ask Count Britta to pay each family of the deceased as compensation."

Mival said angrily: "A sum of compensation is just..."

"Mival," Geralt called out to Mival, then looked at Sylvia and Leo who had been silent from the beginning to the end, and said, "Your Excellency Sylvia is right, give the family of the deceased a Compensation is indeed the best way to deal with it now, the lives of the living are more important than the dead."

Seeing that Geralt also agreed with Sylvia's proposal, Mival felt annoyed and had no place to vent, so he could only snort coldly, and sat on the chair in silence.

Afterwards, Geralt followed Sylvia's proposal to discuss what kind of conditions should be offered. The discussion lasted for more than an hour with a first draft before ending.

After Sylvia and Leo returned to their room, Sylvia turned to Leo and asked, "Why didn't you speak just now?"

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Leo said flatly.

Sylvia keenly sensed something and asked, "Are you angry?"

"A little bit." Leo nodded and admitted.

"Angry at me?" Sylvia asked again.

"No." Leo shook his head, walked to the window, opened the window to look at the scenery outside the window, and said: "Your proposal is not a problem, and it is also the best solution. It is good for everyone, but I am still very happy." Don't like the way it's been handled."

"I don't like it either." Sylvia walked behind Leo, hugged him, and said, "But the game of nobles has such rules, as long as you are in this game, you must abide by the rules of the game, but... "As she spoke, she changed the subject and said in a cold tone: "However, we are not from this world, and we don't need to abide by the rules of the game in this world. When we find out the reason for coming here and the way to leave here, we can use Our own rules for that nasty guy."

"Well, let's solve it like this!" Leo nodded and said.

At breakfast the next morning, the manor steward came to tell everyone that he had notified the duchess that Dandelion had led everyone to the manor, but the duchess was busy with the knights' meeting. I don't have time to live here, so let the housekeeper entertain them well, and ask them to stay in the manor and not walk around casually.

After the butler left, Leo asked Sylvia, "Do you think the last sentence was added by himself, or the original words of the Duchess."

"I think the butler should have added it." Sylvia smiled disdainfully, then turned to Geralt and said, "The Count Britta should appear in the next two days."

Geralt said to Sylvia: "Leave this matter to Your Excellency Sylvia! After our discussion last night, we all felt that you should be more suitable than us to deal with those nobles."

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Sylvia accepted the commission without hesitation.

Geralt then said to Leo: "Regil came back last night. He said that the transaction encountered some troubles. He needs you to go there personally, Mr. Leo. He will wait for you at the cemetery outside Sweetwater Town."

"Okay, I'll go later." Leo nodded.

Breakfast was over soon, and everyone went about their business.

When Leo put on his armor and was about to leave to meet Regal, Sylvia said in a deep voice, "There's something wrong with this, be careful!"

"I know." Leo said calmly, "I think I need to have a good talk with this Regal."

After finishing speaking, he clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse towards the outside of the manor.

Tianshui Town is also located at the foot of Gaogong Mountain. In the early years, a stream of melting ice and snow flowed out of the town. Because this stream tasted a little sweet, the people who settled here at that time named their town Tianshui Town.

Later, the vineyards in the upper reaches of the stream diverted the stream in order to ensure the water used for the plantation and grape brewing. As a result, the name of Tianshui Town was not worthy of its name, and Tianshui Town also fell into decline.

However, as the faith of the Prophet Lebioda spread in Toussaint, the clergy chose to build a temple and a temple cemetery here, and it flourished again. At that time, someone changed the name of the place to Cemetery Village, but the local People thought the name was not pleasant, so they changed it back to Tianshui Town.

However, this booming trend did not last long. As Pregmon’s miracle deception was exposed, the faith of the Prophet Lebioda soon collapsed, and the vast majority of people no longer believed in the Prophet Lebioda. , and even cast aside Lebioda's belief in the prophet, and the temple cemetery that is part of the Lebioda church has naturally been affected. No nobles will place the cemetery here, and only the poor will sweep the corpse with grass and send it here With a hasty burial, Tianshui Town has once again declined.

Compared with the temples of Lebioda in Toussaint, the Temple of Lebioda in Tianshui Town is average in scale, but the area of ​​the cemetery is very large. It can definitely be ranked in the top three, so no one takes care of it. The cemetery has become overgrown with weeds and trees, and some monsters have also used it as a habitat.
