The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"This is the scepter fragment of the chief priest of the Sky Temple in the first dynasty. It belongs to the sacred object of the Sky Lord Church. As long as you take this thing to the Sky Lord's temple, you can get the corresponding reward." After seeing the fragment of the scepter that Leo took out, Sylvia recognized the origin and function of this thing at a glance, and introduced it.

Leo looked at the fragments of the scepter in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Exchanging a bag of Saville's gold shield for this fragment of the scepter, it seems that he has lost a little bit in this deal?"

"No loss, because this thing is useless in his hands." Sylvia shook her head and said: "Now all the church forces have been cleared from the territory of the French Empire, and the situation in the United Kingdom is similar, although It has not been completely cleared, but the privileges of each church have been withdrawn. Basically, if you want to find the church of the Lord of the Sky, you need to go to the mainland of Mosang. And even if there is a church of the Lord of the Sky here, take this If you hand things over to the church here, the rewards you can get in exchange are not much."

"This thing is also of no use to me." Leo frowned and said.

Sylvia said: "Aren't we going to the Mosang Continent in the future? Keep this thing! Maybe it will be useful sometime. The church of the Lord of the Sky has unique power in the Mosang Continent. There is the Lord of the Sky Relying on the church, it will be much easier to do things in the countries of Mozambique.”

Leo nodded, and took the scepter back into the space. Afterwards, he carefully explained the information he had obtained from the black market related to the royal family's territory. Sylvia was also listening carefully. This slowly passed.

As one of the old aristocrats of the French Empire, although the Belmont family belongs to the southern aristocrats, and the northern aristocrats belong to two factions. Just as the nobles of the Faran Empire would arrange a convenient foothold in Winterring City, so did the Belmont family, and they also used this place to collect information about the northern nobles, including the royal family.

However, due to various reasons, there is not a lot of information collected on the royal territory. In addition, because of the establishment of the United Kingdom of France, the nobles of the Faran Empire split into two parts. Asking for advice and other changes made Sylvia useless for many of the information on the French royal territory.

Although the information in the black market is also outdated, compared to the information in Sylvia's hands, it is obviously much newer, and most of the information in the black market is that Louis X cleaned up all the domestic and United Kingdom After the aristocrats were attached, and the royal territory had stabilized at that time, even if there were changes, it would not change much, so these materials are still applicable now.

When sorting out these materials, both Sylvia and Leo discovered that they had made a big mistake before. If Leo hadn't gone to the black market to collect the materials this time, then their trip to the royal territory might have come to nothing. Because the royal treasure house was not placed in the center of a royal territory as Sylvia said, but was transferred to the Feast Palace in Winterring City.

Among the materials harvested from the black market, there is a piece of information that looks inconspicuous, but in fact both Leo and Sylvia have analyzed some hidden secrets, that is, the ten-tower castle of the spear leader directly under the royal family carried out a large-scale attack. For a large-scale relocation, the people in charge of the relocation are the guards directly under the royal family, and the number of people sent is very large, more than 3,000 people, which can already be regarded as a small army.

In this information, there is no mention of any items to be relocated, but a symbol is drawn at the end of the document. According to Sylvia's understanding of the black market, this symbol represents that the black market has lost an entire article because of this information. It’s no exaggeration to say that the intelligence line is broken, and what’s even more strange is that the time marked at the end of this information is just two days before the royal family started to attack the black market.

Whether there is a causal connection between the two, Leo and Silvia are not clear, but such a coincidental time, such a coincidental information, have to make them think more.

For the vast majority of people, the ten-tower castle in the spear collar is the training camp of the Royal Guards of France. Every cavalry of the Royal Guards must receive at least three years of training here. The birthplace of knights in the entire French Empire.

However, for a veteran noble like Sylvia, the ten-tower castle has another meaning. It is where the royal treasure house is located. All the treasures accumulated by the three French dynasties are concentrated there. Why are the treasures played back like this? A castle far away from Winterring City, mainly because this castle is located in the Black Forest, and there is only one road that is approved by the Lord of the Black Forest to lead to the outside. Once this road is blocked, people outside want to reach the castle. Road into the Black Forest.

It's not that no one has ever thought of the ten-tower castle in the past, but these people either died outside the towering walls of the castle or disappeared into the black forest. From years of experience, the security of the ten-tower castle is extremely high. Arguable.

However, Louis X took out the treasures stored in the Ten Towers Castle and transported them back to the Royal Feast Palace in Winterring City, apparently thinking that the Ten Towers Castle was no longer safe, and he would feel unsafe, definitely not from The outside world comes from the Black Forest itself, which is in line with what White Deer asked Leo to do. Obviously, the contract established between the Royal Family of France and the Black Forest since the King of Knights has broken down.

In fact, there were early signs of a breakdown in the contract between the French royal family and the Black Forest. The last army of the French Empire stationed in the West Velen continent did not leave the Black Forest when it retreated, but detoured through the Northland and returned from the Northland. In the Faran Empire, half of the army died in the ice and snow in the north, and most of the other half were disabled. If the road was not blocked, it would be impossible for the Faran Empire to take such a long way to self-mutilate.

According to the information, the ten-tower castle has now been abandoned, and the black forest has been re-covered there. It seems that the unknown item that isolated the royal treasury from all extraordinary powers should also be moved to the Feast Palace along with the treasury.

Among the materials on the black market, there is very little information about the Feast Palace, only one of the most original construction drawings of the Feast Palace, and this blueprint is still fake, because Leo can analyze the building after construction according to the blueprint according to the architectural structure. It is absolutely impossible to support it, when it will be built, and when it will collapse, so this blueprint is likely to be leaked deliberately by the French royal family back then. kind of result.

However, for Sylvia, the Feast Palace is not a problem at all. You must know that Philip, the King of the United Kingdom of France, grew up in the Palace of France since he was a child. Come out, although after Louis X ascended the throne, he will definitely make some changes to the palace and even re-modify some safety matters such as traps, secret sentries, and guard patrol routes, but the structure of the palace itself will not change in any way.

At the beginning, after Philip became the king of the United Kingdom, he conspired to steal some things from the royal palace to prove that he, Philip III, was the orthodox heir of the French royal family, so he sorted out all the layout of the French royal palace and handed over Make follow-up plans for the special department controlled by Sylvia.

However, later he discovered that even if he didn't have the things he valued before, no one would question his status as a king, so he canceled the plan to steal, and the map of the palace was also taken back and destroyed, but Sylvia had already remembered it at the time. Remember everything on the map, and now the map you jotted down will come in handy.

"Our problem now is identity." After confirming from Sylvia that the palace is no longer a problem, Leo's thinking direction shifted to another place, entering Winterring City, and then towards Sylvia, Asked: "How are you going to get the identities of those special personnel?"

Since Louis X came to the throne, the security system of Winterring City has been changed five times. This French emperor seems to be particularly insecure. Every time the security mechanism is more perfect and stricter, from restricting the entry of foreign populations to areas, to The ban on the urban area, and then the division of the ten-ring urban area and the strict identity inspection system, etc., all in all, it is like making Winterlin City like an iron barrel, and outsiders can only move to a limited extent in the outermost urban area at most. It is impossible to get close to the Palace Hill in the middle.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, people from other places seldom enter Winter City, but stay in the suburbs of Winter City, and over time, a large town similar to a trading market is formed.

If Leo and Sylvia did not have a suitable identity, then they would not be able to stay in the city. After entering the city, they would have to bypass all the guards and patrol troops at once, enter the palace, avoid all the warning traps and The Royal Guard, arrive at the Feast Palace, open the treasury, and take the ring.

If it was the royal palace of an ordinary country, Leo would be able to solve the problem in one go, and even if someone finds out, he would be able to break out.

But the royal palace of the Faran Empire is different. According to Sylvia’s narration, when the King of Knights moved the capital of the third dynasty to Winterrin City, he handed over the site selection and construction of the capital and the royal palace to several tower wizards. Even after that, every large-scale construction has the shadow of the tower wizard participating in it, so the Turing circle of the tower wizard is absolutely hidden in the palace. Without on-site investigation and repeated research, Leo also There is no chance of avoiding those Turing circles. Once those Turing circles are aroused, even gods may find it difficult to cope in this world where power is suppressed.

Now the safest way Sylvia and Leo can think of is to sneak into Winterrin City, and then conduct a field survey of the situation inside and outside the palace, and then consider the next move. As for how to sneak into Winterrin City, Sylvia After Ya learned about the situation of the Special Operations Office in Cambay Town, she paid attention.

The Special Operations Department was a newly established secret department of the French Empire. It has a very large authority, so the members of the department are also very strictly controlled. According to their rules, more than half of the personnel in a small town-level branch died. It is necessary to bring all the survivors of that branch back to the headquarters in Winterring City for investigation, and to conduct a loyalty test by the way.

Sylvia just wanted to pretend to be a member of the two Special Operations Departments, and let the Special Operations Department take them into Winterrin City, and conduct a survey of Winterrin City and the Royal Palace while undergoing review.

As for disguising as the replaced person, it is not a big problem for Leo and Sylvia. Leo can control the body, change the body shape and facial muscles, use the power of nightmare to disguise extraordinary power, and Sylvia can also use The power of the Faceless is perfectly disguised as anyone.

However, just pretending like this is not enough, because if they are taken back to the headquarters of the Special Operations Division in Winterfell City as the censored persons, they will inevitably be imprisoned and interrogated extremely strictly, but Leo and Sylvia's appearances are faked even more No matter how it looks, there is a high chance of being debunked.

Therefore, the identities of them being brought to Winterfell City should not be the ones being censored, but should be the ones being rewarded, so that they will not be monitored, let alone censored.

As for how to become a rewardee, Leo also thought of it on the way back from the black market, as long as the people in the Special Operations Department think that the loss is far less than the gain. The bone obtained on Mount Rum.

A bone that can isolate all extraordinary power is enough to compensate for the losses of those members of the Special Operations Department, and can also give them a merit for pretenders. Made things difficult.

Moreover, what's even more wonderful is that the people from the headquarters came to take them back for review, but now that the review has become a result, they certainly can't make the decision, so they can only take them back, and the higher authorities will decide on further actions. It's not like other meritorious people still stay where they are, waiting for the reward to fall.

The only problem now is which two people from the special operations department they will pretend to be. As for which person named Colin has been tampered with by Sylvia in a special way, in the tampered memory, the branch of Campbell Town In addition to him, there were two other people in the Ministry who survived, and he would not reveal his identity as long as he did not undergo some memory censorship by the Special Operations Service.

"Just the two of them!" Sylvia took out two documents. These two documents came from Mourning. He secretly observed the members of the Special Operations Division for a long time and collected a lot of relevant information. , characteristics to identity, origin, and personal ability, etc. are very detailed.

Leo opened the information and looked, and found that these two people were also a man and a woman, both of whom were from the southern army. All their relationships were in the south, and they would not have any acquaintances in Winterfell City, which was very suitable for them to pretend.
