The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Aren't we going to Sir Blank's?" Sylvia asked with some doubts after the two left the Reynolds Museum and did not go to Sir Blanc's home.

"No need to go!" Leo replied.

"Is it because of the thing you just bought?" Sylvia asked again.

"Hmm!" Leo nodded and said, "That thing should be the reason why the Renault people were able to pass the ice bridge smoothly."

"Is that thing still usable? It seems to me that it has been placed for a long time, and even the box is full of dust." Sylvia questioned: "I remember it seems to be mentioned in the data that the Renault people more than two hundred years ago They have stopped crossing the ice bridge to plunder. It is said that because of the formation of the southern air route and the stabilization of the political situation in Daliat, it is meaningless for them to continue to plunder the ice bridge. Looking at it now Maybe it's because the thing is no longer working, and they can't walk across the ice bridge safely."

"It should be like this." Leo nodded, and said: "This thing is not broken, but has no energy. It needs to re-activate the energy collection system so that it can automatically replenish energy."

Sylvia didn't quite understand what Leo meant, but she knew that Leo must know how to use this thing, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After that, Leo and Sylvia didn't go back to the Ice and Snow Temple immediately, but wandered around in the city of Dailisa. After arriving in the capital of the Northern Kingdom, which is well-known in the world of Velen, they had never really understood this city. They were leaving tomorrow, so they decided to take a walk in the city today.

Although it’s already winter, there are still many places to visit in the city, such as the Ice and Snow Palace built on the main square after winter, the ongoing Winter Festival, etc. For Leo and Silvia, the city Playing is a rare opportunity to relax, so they spent the day like two ordinary people playing around in this snow-covered city, and did not return to the room of the Ice and Snow Temple until nightfall.

However, after returning to the room, they felt that something was wrong, because the room was already full of various plants, and it didn't look like they were in the snow country in the north, but in the jungle in the south.

Both Leo and Sylvia thought of Tessa Mocha at the same time, so they ran to Tessa Mocha's room to check the situation, and saw that the plants in Tessa Mocha's room were much more lush than the outside room. They are densely packed together to prevent anyone who tries to enter the room, and this room does not have any heating, it is more like opening all the windows, it is as cold as the outside, or even colder than the outside, and all the plants are covered with frost. There was a thick layer of ice.

"If it was me, I wouldn't do that." Just as Leo and Sylvia were about to clean up the plants, Lia Winistan's voice suddenly rang in their ears, and then they started A vision of an Ice Queen appeared before them.

The two were not surprised by this situation, because they had already guessed that Lia Venistan must have monitored the palace and the Ice and Snow Temple through some method, and the current situation only confirmed their guess.

"Why?" Sylvia asked directly.

"Because if you do that, Tessa will die." After Lia Venistan gave the answer, before Sylvia continued to ask, she immediately explained: "She is a reckless idiot. Without the protection of the natural shaman, I tried to fuse a germinated mother tree seed. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I used ice to slow down the speed of seed germination, so that Tessa had enough time to fuse, what you can see now Probably just a corpse turned into a treant."

"How is she doing now?" Sylvia asked.

Lia Venistan replied: "It's still stable, as long as she doesn't be so aggressive, there won't be any danger."

Leo interrupted and asked, "When will she be back to normal?"

Lia Venistan shook her head and said, "I don't know! It may only be a few days, it may be a month, or even a year."

Leo frowned, and turned to look at Sylvia, as if asking her what to do.

Sylvia thought for a while, and suggested: "We can go to the Belen Ice Lake first. The Belem Ice Lake is in the northeast direction, which is not in the same direction as the Ice Bridge. You still need to pass here before going to the Ice Bridge. Then we'll see how she's doing."

Leo did not object, and nodded in agreement with Sylvia's proposal.

Lia Venistan said at this time: "If you want to go to Belém Ice Lake to explore the remains of prehistoric civilization, you need a pass. I will send someone to send it over. I hope you can gain something there."

Hearing what Lia Venistan said, Sylvia thought of a question, and before Lia Venistan dispelled the illusion, she asked, "If we find something in the frozen lake..."

Lia Venistan said generously: "It's your luck that you can find something, and you can take it away."

After speaking, he disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

"What do you think?" Leo suddenly asked a random question inexplicably.

However, Sylvia understood the other party's thoughts and said: "Probably not, although I don't like her, but her character does not allow her to do such a thing, she should prefer us to leave, rather than using Tessa to keep us here, and it doesn't seem to be doing her any good if we stay."

Leo also nodded in agreement, and said, "In this case, then we will set off immediately after we get the pass later."

"Hmm!" Sylvia also responded.

After a while, the court attendant brought over the pass signed by Lia Venistan. Leo and Sylvia packed up their luggage a little, then left the Ice and Snow Temple, and bought a set of passports at the animal market outside the city. Only a hexapod with a full tent.

This six-legged Buku beast is a herbivorous beast unique to the northern ice fields, and it was also the only source of meat for the early Daliyat ancestors. Later, after dozens of breedings, the six-legged Buku beast was finally bred into Dalia One of the most important pack animals.

The current six-legged Bukumon is very different from the original six-legged Bukumon, and the biggest difference is its body shape.

The body shape of the hexapod Buku in captivity is six times that of the original Buku, and it looks like a small hill. Because of its wide and flat back and the characteristics of steady and gentle walking, some people specially make it for this purpose. A kind of tent was fixed on the back of the six-legged Bukumon, and a brazier was set inside the tent to make the tent very warm.

Because the six-legged Bukumon has a layer of horny skin that is as hard as a stone, even if a brazier is installed, it will not cause burns to the Bukumon. Even in winter, people can still travel through the various cities of Daliat, so the six-legged Buku beast can be said to be the main means of transportation for Daliat people to travel in winter.

However, the six-legged Bukumon has both advantages and disadvantages. While its huge size helps it resist the cold, it also slows down its traveling speed. Among all the main pack beasts of Deliyat, the Bukumon's marching speed is the highest. The speed can be said to be the slowest.

In addition, because of its huge size, it has a huge food intake, which is two or three times that of other herbivorous pack animals. Therefore, before letting the Buku beast travel, half of the back must be used to place the packed food. forage.

Therefore, most merchants will choose another pack animal that can carry, fast, and can withstand the cold as their main pack animal, and the six-legged Buku beast has become a family travel together during the Holy New Year Festival. The best choice for visiting relatives in other cities.

Leo and Sylvia didn't need to be in a hurry, and the Belen Ice Lake was located in the north near the endless ice field, so they didn't treat themselves badly and chose this comfortable pack beast.

Afterwards, for more than 20 days, Leo and Sylvia seemed to be on a tour, heading north along the route towards Belen Ice Lake. They stopped in every Daliat city along the way, and had a good time. Had a great time.

Because of the pass issued by the Queen herself, they did not encounter any trouble along the way, except for a group of carnivorous snow beasts encountered when they spent the night in the wild.

However, this encounter only allowed Sylvia to move her body a little bit, and Leo didn't even make a move, it was already resolved.

On the twenty-seventh day, they finally came to the outskirts of Belen Ice Lake.

In order to excavate and collect the relics of prehistoric civilization under the glacial lake and study prehistoric civilization, Leah Winistan specially built a small town on the edge of the Belem glacial lake, stationed an army, and recruited a large number of people who are keen on the study of prehistoric civilization. Scholars are resident here, so this place called Belem Town is not only soldiers but also scholars.

When Leo and Sylvia arrived, the army officers stationed here subconsciously regarded them as scholars assigned by the queen after seeing their passes, so they were directly brought to the residence of the scholars. and study in the igloo.

For the convenience of living and research, the scholars’ igloos are built in one piece, which looks like a two-storey apartment building with a large coverage area, with dormitories on the top and studios for research below.

Scholars who can stay in this icy world all year round are people who really love to study prehistoric civilizations. Similarly, they have lived on the margins of society for a long time, which also makes them not pay attention to some sophistication that ordinary people should have.

After learning from the officer that Leo and Leo were two scholars personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, the supervisor among the scholars first questioned the outstanding-looking Sylvia and Leo who was more like a soldier, and he was not polite He wrote questions on the spot to test some knowledge of the prehistoric civilization of the two of them, and said that if they failed the test, they would be driven away.

The result is self-evident, Sylvia's knowledge of prehistoric civilization is fairly normal, and she easily dealt with her few questions, while Leo directly pointed out some inappropriateness in their questions , and also pointed out the mistakes in the answer, and the scholars present would refute them one by one.

Seeing this situation, the academic director did not express any doubts, and welcomed the two of them to join, which was completely different from the previous performance, but he did not immediately let Leo contact some prehistoric animals they were researching that were salvaged from the frozen lake. Instead, let Leo and Sylvia go to their database to look at the information first, and arrange more specific tasks for them after they understand the situation here.

Naturally, Leo and Sylvia would not refuse this arrangement. They also needed to know about the situation of the Belen Ice Lake.

The information stored in the database is not only the research information of their researchers on the relics of prehistoric civilization over the years, but also the information left by previous researchers and excavators. However, in Leo's eyes, these information are full of mistakes and are of little value. It's not very high, but it's the survey data of Belen Ice Lake that makes Leo pay more attention.

Just like its name, there is a thick layer of ice on the surface of Belém Ice Lake all the year round, covering an area equivalent to more than 300 Belém towns. It is not only the largest lake in Daliat, but also the largest lake in the entire Minsk continent.

In the past, if you want to enter the ice lake, you need to drill holes directly on the ice, but now, in order to facilitate access to the ice lake, scholars have dug an underground waterway on the shore near the prehistoric civilization relics of the ice lake. Divers can directly enter the ice lake. The waterway enters the lake.

In addition, winter is not the season for salvaging the underwater relics of Belen Ice Lake. They can only find some specialized personnel to salvage the bottom of the lake when the cold wind of the endless ice sheet in summer is the weakest. Families living in the water.

After more than ten years of excavation and salvage, scholars here have surveyed the prehistoric civilization relics at the bottom of the lake, and specially asked scholars who are proficient in painting to draw dozens of drawings of prehistoric civilization relics according to the materials.

The moment he saw the drawings, Leo instantly recognized that these so-called relics of prehistoric civilization were actually the wreckage of a Titan-class mothership. number, and in Leo's memory bank, there is no record of the number of this mothership spaceship, which means that this spaceship should be built after his death.

Although there are tens of millions of spaceships in the Earth Federation, it is impossible for Leo to memorize the serial numbers of all the spaceships, but the number of Titan-class motherships is not very large, only thirty-seven. Almost anyone who has participated in star flight training All soldiers know the numbers of these thirty-seven Titan-class motherships.

In terms of advanced level alone, the Titan-class mothership is definitely not the most advanced spaceship of the Earth Federation, but its size is the largest in the entire Earth Federation fleet, because each Titan-class mothership has an ecosystem spaceship, which is almost equivalent to On a small planet suitable for human habitation, the corresponding spaceship is the home ship of the Weiya people.
