The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In a small room arranged by the black market, Leo closed the last file, took a sip of a refreshing drink on the table, leaned back on the chair, rubbed his glasses and closed his eyes to rest, Call up some data of the sub-brain system and check it carefully.

Although he read all the information, he mainly focused on those people in the dark world. As for the ordinary people who disappeared at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, they were directly entered into the sub-brain system for comparison and analysis.

Among the people sent by various organizations in the dark world, a total of 17 people disappeared, and among them, there were the most people from the Hearing Society, with a total of ten people.

Leo suspected that the old man in the villa and Annie should be members of the Hearing Society, because he found a few people with steam mechanical arms on their bodies among the missing people, which made him think of the person he saw in the tavern. scene.

Moreover, Leo also suspected that among the ten missing people, there must be someone that the old man in the villa cared about very much, otherwise, he would not have spared no effort to let people enter there and take something.

Apart from the Heterogenetic Society, the night watchmen had the second most missing persons, and three of them disappeared at the same time.

According to the information, the disappearance of these three people was very unlucky, because they inadvertently broke into No. 9 Golden Oak Street while chasing a family member who committed a crime, and they were unable to get out in the end.

On the contrary, the family members who were hunted by them came out unharmed, but before someone could catch him and interrogate him about what happened at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, he was crushed to death by a falling steel frame.

Afterwards, a wizard and his apprentice from the Wizarding House, accompanied by the high priest of a hidden church called the Church of the Gazer. The three people had the least information, only a piece of paper, mainly telling when they entered No. 9 Golden Oak Street and what they probably carried with them.

Among all the missing people in the dark world, the one with the most complete information is the Ability God Adjudicator of the Orthodox Holy See. This person is named Brandon Moore. He is good at using the Cross Sword of Punishment, has a third-level divine ability, and wears seven gods on his body Creation, once alone destroyed seven hidden churches that believe in evil gods, and can be said to be the most powerful thug of the Orthodox Holy See.

However, after following the high priest of the Gazer Church into No. 9 Golden Oak Street, this powerful thug also disappeared without a sound.

For this reason, the Orthodox Holy See has sent investigation teams several times to secretly investigate the matter, and even violated some agreements between the Orthodox Holy See and various countries, causing governments of various countries to adopt stricter restrictions and monitoring on the Orthodox Holy See.

Because Ability God Judge Brandon Moore has the most information, after seeing these materials, Leo couldn't help but compare himself with him.

After careful analysis, he felt that if he opened a certain distance and had a sufficient supply of bullets, with the power of the king and queen, he should be able to solve the Ability God Judge.

But if there is a melee battle between the two, even with such a sharp weapon as Gemini, it will be very difficult for him to defeat the opponent. According to the analysis of the sub-brain system, his chance of winning is less than 20%.

And because there is no detailed information about divine energy, which should be similar to psionic energy, this analysis result also has errors, and the error index is between plus and minus two.

That is to say, if the power of divine energy is stronger than his estimation, even if it is only a little stronger, his chance of winning in melee combat has never been less than 20%, and has become no chance of winning.

At this time, Leo suddenly realized that the information on the injuries was a bit incomplete, so he shook the bell on the table, and after the old man walked in, he said, "I remember we first talked about the information on all the missing people, right?"

"Yes, guest." The old man nodded and said.

Leo pointed to the materials piled up on the table, and said, "But there are no black market missing person materials in these materials."

The old man froze for a moment when he heard the words, smiled wryly, and said, "We are willing to make up for it."

The subtext of this sentence is that although the agreement is violated, the money cannot be refunded, and the information on the black market cannot be disclosed, and this deficiency can be compensated for in other ways.

This is also the purpose of Leo, so he said: "I want detailed information about the Heterogenetic Association, the Familia, the Night Watchman, the Wizard's Assembly Hall, the Hidden Church, and the Orthodox Holy See."

The old man's face was extremely ugly, and he said: "This is impossible, every piece of information here is much more precious than the information you read as a guest."

"In this case, I only need the organizational composition information of the three organizations, the Familiars, the Night Watchman, and the Wizard's Gathering House, and I don't need the information of the organization members." Leo had long expected that he would not be satisfied with his big mouth, so he took a step back, and in the When the old man wanted to say something, he raised his hand to stop him, and said: "Stop talking, this is because you violated the agreement first, and you must return all the money or agree to my request. I think your black market can survive, yes Because you abide by your rules very much, if your rules are broken by yourself, do you think..."

"The materials of the three organizations will be sent immediately, guest." The old man who was said to be the key didn't think much at all, and he directly agreed to Leo's request, turned around and walked out of the room. on the table and walked out of the room.

Leo picked up the top file package casually, opened it and looked at it. It contained information on the wizard's assembly. There wasn't a lot of content. It wasn't that the black market deliberately reduced the content of the information, but that the black market itself didn't know much about the loose organization of the wizard's assembly.

According to the data, the Wizards' Gathering House is a new organization that has emerged in the past hundred years. The members of the organization are a group of people who call themselves wizards, but they are very different from the ancient wizards. They seem to know a little about wizards. Weird people with some abilities, those organizations that know the ancient wizards very well do not recognize the people in this assembly hall as wizards.

The black market doesn't know how many members there are in the wizarding assembly, but it is estimated to be around thirty people. Although the number of people seems to be large, they are scattered among the countries on the three continents, and there are very few of them.

The purpose of this organization is mainly to facilitate the communication among its members. As for how they gather together and what kind of knowledge they exchange, the outside world does not know at all, but judging from some of the methods of the members of this organization, this organization is definitely not a good camp. party.

The following file bag contains information about the family members. Regarding the origins of the family members, there are completely different opinions between the family members and the outside world.

The Familia themselves think that they are a high-level ethnic group favored by some great gods that are older than this world. These ancient gods bestowed an insignificant part of themselves on the Familiars so that they have extraordinary powers.

It's just that some people couldn't bear this great power, and were controlled by it, gradually lost their human sanity, and became monster-like existences. This type of monster is called a beast. On the other hand, some people are able to perfectly control their power, so that they can always maintain their human identity and form, and this kind of people is called the family.

In addition, they claimed that the royal family of France and the royal family of England were members of the family, so they were born with the most noble blood.

As for the outside world, such as the black market, the wizarding assembly, and other dark world organizations have different views on the origin of these family members. They believe that the so-called family members are slave warriors created by ancient wizards to serve themselves, and they are the gifts of the so-called ancient gods. It's just the remains of some powerful creature.

If Leo hadn't swallowed the wreckage of the high-level creature from the president of Skull and Bones, maybe he would think that the inferences of the black market and other dark world organizations were correct, but after he fused the wreckage of the omega-level creature, he entered the subspace, This proves that the power possessed by the owner of this wreck can definitely be called a god in this world, so it seems that the family's own explanation is not wrong.

There are many types of family members, too many to count, even the same type of family members will show different forms under the action of power, so it is almost impossible to count the types of family members.

But there are three broad categories that can be generalized. A type of pure human form, that is to say, this kind of family will always maintain a human form, even if they use that great power, they will not change their body shape. Leo feels that the president of the Skull and Bones should belong to this category.

One is the half-human form, which will change some parts of the body into a non-human form when using power, but in general it is still dominated by human form, and the most famous of this category is the vampire.

When Leo saw this, he felt very interesting, because in the Earth Federation, he was very sure that vampires did not exist, but now in this world, he was able to see this mysterious creature famous in the Earth Federation, which really made him feel inexplicable. Intimacy.

As for the third category, it is non-human form, because once these family members exert their power, their bodies will completely change into a non-human state, and the number of non-human states is as unpredictable as the number of types of family members. The only thing that can be determined is The biggest category is the lycanthropy, which also includes the werewolves that Leo is familiar with.

Compared with the origins of the Familiars who have their own stories, and the types cannot be counted, the origins of the Night Watchmen are very clear. Almost everyone in the dark world knows that they are the products of ancient wizards.

As to why the ancient wizards created the Night Watchman, this is no longer possible to test, but as the oldest dark world organization in Velen Continent, the Night Watchman has great power, even if it is a black market, they dare not easily provoke them, so it has something to do with the Night Watchman There are not many data.

Now the main duty of the night watchman is to supervise the family, the secret church and the wizarding assembly, so their relationship with the governments of various countries and the Orthodox Holy See is very complicated. Most of the night watchmen have official identities. It can be said that the night watchmen are used by governments Monitor the eyes and ears of the dark world.

It is worth mentioning that the night watchmen were ordinary people at the beginning. They gained powerful abilities by implanting Ability God cells, and they seem to have mastered an implantation method that can perfectly utilize Ability God cells without any side effects.

It is also mentioned at the end of the night watchman's information that the rules of the night watchman seem to have changed in recent years. They no longer only recruit ordinary people to implant Ability God cells, and even some kind-hearted family members are also included in their recruitment.

This rule change made many people suspect that it was related to the insufficient number of Ability God cells on hand by the Night Watchmen, which also coincided with the rapid decrease in the number of Ability God cells traded in the black market.

Because with the disappearance of the ancient wizard, there are no Ability God cells that anyone can manufacture, so the Ability God cells that still exist on the market are a ration, and every time one is used, one will be lost and cannot be replenished, so the ancient night watchman Organizations are likely to die completely for this reason.

Here, the information also attaches a description of the Ability God Cell, which says that the Ability God Cell is a special kind of magical wizard produced by ancient wizards through some magical method to extract the power from the remains of some mysterious creatures. things.

As for the name of the alien god cell, it was not given by the ancient wizards, but by a very famous biologist in the medical school more than a hundred years ago. The world is also very famous, so the name Ability God Cell also replaced the original name.

After reading these materials, Leo has a very systematic understanding of the entire dark world, and he is also excited and joyful that there is such a wonderful and mysterious world behind the steam industry world.

After reading the information, Leo sat for a while to calm down the excitement, and then called up the personal data interface to take a look.

Seeing that the energy storage has been reduced to seventy-three Chaos Stomach talent, he can't help but have a feeling in his heart that this transformed stomach pouch after merging the remains of higher organisms should not be used simply for energy storage, there should be The hidden ability that cannot be analyzed by other sub-brain systems, otherwise this stomach pouch would be too sorry for its name of omega-level biological gene.

Just when Leo was thinking about how to further develop the true ability of the chaotic gastric sac, the sub-brain system sent a reminder that the data of those ordinary missing persons had been analyzed before, and there were important discoveries.

"Is there a major discovery?" Leo knew very well how strong his sub-brain analysis ability is. Since he made such a clear reminder, it must be a major discovery.

So, Leo called up the analysis data of the vice brain and projected it on the retina.

The sub-brain system summarizes the situation of all the missing persons according to the degree of importance, and most of them cannot be the person who triggered the mysterious power of No. 9 on Golden Oak Street. This category occupies the vast majority, and the rest are assigned different glory marks according to the degree of possibility.

Among these materials, there are three materials marked in blood red, which are particularly eye-catching in the retina.

I saw that the three documents highlighted by the secondary brain system belonged to three different people, one of which was a servant recruited by Andrew, the builder of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and the second was the nobleman of the Sigma Kingdom The bodyguards were recruited locally, and the third was the family member who escaped from No. 9 Golden Oak Street alive but died in an accident.

These three completely unrelated people were analyzed by the sub-brain system, but they gave the analysis result that they were the same person.
