The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Watching the carriage and the naked man disappear at the end of the forest trail, Leo opened the letter that Adeline gave him before, and read it.

The content of the letter is indeed nothing important as Adeline said, mainly saying that Nelson, Jason and the others are safe.

In addition, it was also mentioned that Duke Devin's reaction to the indictment was very slow. This situation was abnormal. She felt that there would definitely be a big move, so she told Leo to be careful.

Anne's character is also cautious, knowing that letters are not very safe, so she didn't mention anything that would cause trouble in the letter.

After destroying the letter casually, Leo left the botanical garden by the same route, found a carriage, got in it, and drove towards the Crescent Moon Lake area.

The carriage soon drove to the villa area of ​​Xiaquanyue Lake, and was stopped by the police at the sentry post at the only intersection to enter the villa area.

After asking Leo where he was going, he entered the sentry post, wrote some things, and handed them to the colleague next to him. Another policeman took the written things, rode the horse prepared by the sentry post, and headed towards the interior of the villa area. run away.

After a while, the policeman came back and handed a note to his colleague. After reading it, the colleague waved to the carriage waiting beside the sentry post, indicating that he could go in.

The coachman driving the carriage slowly through the inner streets of the villa area said to himself: "Hehe! I never thought that my carriage would also have the opportunity to come to the Moon Lake area. I have to talk to those guys about this matter, and I'm sure they will be envious Kill those guys."

"Have the guards here always been so strict?" Leo asked.

The coachman also chatted: "It wasn't very strict before. Although ordinary carriages were also prohibited from entering and leaving, the control was very loose. As long as a slightly higher-end carriage can enter and exit. Then one day the police and guards here suddenly became stricter." Many, every car that enters and exits needs to be carefully inspected. Speaking of which we have already calculated, they sometimes check the inside of the car. I heard that the reason for this is because someone sneaked into this area and killed family members of some powerful and high-ranking officials. But these are just hearsay, the outside world has not released similar news, and we don’t know if it’s true or not.”

The carriage quickly stopped at the entrance of the lakeside villa. After Leo got out of the car, he signaled to the coachman that there was no need to wait for him, and walked directly into the villa.

Just like the time when Annie came, the maid was already waiting at the door. She looked at the place where Leo was wearing the weapon and frowned, but she didn't ask him to take it off, but turned around He took Leo into the villa.

At this moment, Leo was no longer confused and surprised by the non-human features of the maid, because he already knew that the maid might also be a kind of family, and it seemed to be a half-human family.

In the information on the black market, it is mentioned that the family members are very proud, and they think that they are the darlings of the ancient gods, and their births are extremely noble, so they all have a very proud personality and will not be willing to be under others.

However, it is very interesting that Leo met two identifiable family members, but they both respected a certain human being very much, and even willingly turned into servants. If it wasn't for the fact that the records on the black market were wrong, then something serious to the family must have happened, which made the family change their previous arrogance and learn to bend over and compromise.

The moment he entered the villa, Leo frowned. Although it was the second time he had experienced it, Leo was still not very used to the disturbing energy field in this villa.

"I'm very glad that you can come!" The old man's characteristic hoarse voice sounded in the villa, followed by the sound of gears turning and mechanical meshing coming from the room, and the old man drove his wheelchair to come. In the living room, although the smile on his face was ugly, it was sincere.

Because he had been vigilant in advance, Leo could feel that when the old man appeared, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of trust and intimacy in his heart. The power of the mind is at work.

So Leo didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so as not to be deeply influenced by the other party, so he went straight to the topic and said: "I have investigated No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and I know what happened there. It is very interesting, and I am also very interested. I wonder now what you were looking for there."

"It's very simple, find a feather." The old man said a request that sounded simple.

"Feather?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What kind of feather? What kind of bird's feather?"

"No, no! It's just a feather." The old man answered very vaguely, but he couldn't make it clearer, so he explained: "This feather is indescribable, as long as you see it, you will be able to recognize it."

Leo frowned and said, "In case I find other feathers there, I'll bring them back to you..."

"If you really found the feather at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, even if it wasn't the one I wanted, and you have completed the transaction, I will still give you the complete Gamore language." The old man knew Leo was worried about something, and made his promise before he finished speaking, but then he added: "But such a thing should not happen, there can only be one feather in No. 9 Golden Oak Street."

Leo couldn't help but questioned: "You seem to know the matter of No. 9 Golden Oak Street very clearly, and you even know what items are there."

The old man chuckled and didn't answer.

Leo thought about it for a while, and said: "Changing Moon Lake area is a high-end villa area, and the Miria City Police Station also has a lot of patrolmen and guards there. I need a pass that allows me to pass freely. In addition, I may also need to go to the police station to check the investigation materials left by the investigation team, so I also need a permit."

"I can give you a pass." The old man thought for a while and said, "But you are an Englishman after all. It is not appropriate to go to a police station in a city under the Faran Empire to check files. I also have an investigation report here, which is better than the police. The Bureau’s copy is more detailed, and I can show it to you now.”

"It's okay." Leo could see that the old man was very principled in his work, what he could do and what he couldn't do. There was an invisible line in his heart, and he would never cross that line no matter what the reason, so he didn't It's hard for the strong.

The old man showed a sincere smile again, raised his good arm, and stretched out his hand to Leo: "In this way, we should be considered as a deal."

"Yes." Leo reached out and grabbed the old man's hand, and said, "When will I bring you the feathers, and when will you teach me the Gamore language."

The old man shook his head and said, "No, I will teach you the Gamori language now, without waiting for you to find the feather from there."

Leo was stunned, and said: "You are not afraid, I..."

The old man said with a smile: "I may not be able to do other things, but I can see whether a person is good or bad and whether he can keep his promise." Qi, please go to my study and help me get the ancient poetry manuscript written in the Gamore language and the investigation report materials of the joint investigation team back then."

The maid Vaschi obeyed the old man's instructions, turned around and walked towards the villa's study room. After a while, she was seen holding two stacks of documents half a person's height, appearing in the corridor.

Leo stood up and was going to help Vaschi get the materials in his hand, but was glared back by Vaschi with the most stern eyes. She didn't turn around until she put all the materials on the table in the living room, and looked at Leo snorted coldly, walked to the corner of the wall, and stood there quietly.

"When will I offend her?" Leo asked to himself.

"She just hates men." The old man said, looked at his lower body that had disappeared, and laughed at himself very openly: "As for me, I should not be considered a man anymore, haha!"

After laughing twice, seeing that Leo didn't follow suit, the old man felt embarrassed, touched the beard of his chin, concealed his embarrassment a little, then pointed to a pile of documents, and said: "This document is the You can read the information of the investigation team now, and I just need to review this manuscript of ancient poetry, and consider how to teach you the Gamori language."

Leo randomly found a chair, sat down at the table, picked up the information on the table, and looked through it.

The old man also came to the table, picked up the manuscripts on the table, casually flipped through a few pages, and rearranged the manuscripts according to the difficulty and difficulty of the poems.

Both of them were flipping through the materials in their hands, but they didn't speak, but their speed of flipping through was about the same, which made Vaschi, who was quietly standing aside, frown.

The reason why the old man reads quickly is because this manuscript is written by him himself, and he already has all the contents in his mind, and he can recall it just by flipping through it a little. But in her opinion, with Leo's current speed of flipping through the files, he wasn't looking at the files at all, but was flipping pages randomly.

Vaschi, who didn't like Leo very much at first, looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help the restlessness in his heart. He walked to the desk, pressed a document that Leo was about to pick up, and said to Leo: "Are you looking at these materials? How much have you read through flipping through them like this?"

Seeing Vaschi's angry expression, Leo felt a little baffled, turned to the old man and asked, "Can your maid treat guests so rudely?"

"Don't burn this fire on me, I have never dared to treat her as a maid." The old man didn't answer this question, as if he was avoiding disaster, he held up the manuscript in his hand and covered his face live.

Leo looked at the old man's childlike behavior speechlessly, shook his head, and said, "I suggest you change to another master, Miss Vaschi."

However, Vaschi, who is as ruthless as gold, has no intention of talking to Leo at all, and just looks at him questioningly.

Leo shook his head helplessly, and casually pushed the materials he had read before to Vaschi, and said, "Choose any material and point out a paragraph."

Vaschi was stunned for a while, seeing Leo's confident expression, he hesitated, but the old man who had no intention of intervening in the small dispute between the two had an interested look on his face, took the initiative to take out a copy from the information, and flipped through it casually. Open a page, then pick a paragraph, and read the first sentence of the paragraph.

After hearing this sentence, Leo hardly thought about it, and directly recited all the content after that paragraph, which surprised the old man and the maid.

Vaschi was also curious, and tried to select a piece of information, and picked out an interrogation document, but as soon as her voice fell, Leo's voice took over without any hindrance, and recited all the following paragraphs .

Seeing that she misunderstood Leo, Vaschi didn't make any excuses for herself, and directly apologized to Leo, saying: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I understand." Leo smiled.

On the contrary, the old man on the side didn't speak as if he was lost in thought.

After a while, he said with a smile on his face: "It's amazing that you have such a powerful memory! It seems that the study plan I made before will be overturned, and I will designate a new one based on your memory. A learning program that allows you to learn all Gamore languages ​​in one day."

The old man was very excited at the moment, as if he had obtained a toy that he had longed for for many years. For this reason, he had to inject drugs twice to relieve the pressure on his body caused by the excitement.

As for what kind of study plan the old man wants to make, Leo is not interested in thinking about it. As long as the method is related to memory, he is not worried at all. Remember, it only occupies a part of the brain cells based on a trace amount.

On the contrary, some content in the investigation data allowed Leo to see some information that was not in the black market data.

Among the materials he obtained from the black market, there are also materials related to the investigation team, but those materials are not as complete as the qualifications he is looking at now, and I don’t know if the people in the black market thought that a certain part of the content was too absurd and deleted it on purpose. , or for some reason, even the black market cannot obtain these materials.

All in all, the content of the local folklore in the survey data is not found in the black market data, and in Leo's opinion, the content of the folklore may be the most important part.

In this part of the folklore material, the Crescent Moon Lake region once had a powerful kingdom long ago. This country conquered all the surrounding swamp tribes, unified the entire Miria region, and built their capital in the First Quarter Lake area.

The architecture of this capital city is magnificent and luxurious, even the legendary city of the kingdom of gods can’t compare with it. For this reason, the king of that country is even so arrogant that he regards himself as a god,

However, their arrogance angered the ancient gods of Mount Dibia, and they were cursed by the gods with powerful power, pulling the entire capital, together with the residents of the capital, into a place of eternal sigh at the end of their lives.

Therefore, at certain times, people around the Moon Lake can see the illusion of that city from the reflected light when the moonlight shines on the lake.
