The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's the matter with this Weishan person?" Leo couldn't help but wondered.

"The Weishan people are a tribe in the Mosang Continent, and there are countless tribes like this in the Mosang Continent." Sylvia sighed slightly, and said: "The Imperial Railway Company was hired to build a railway line on the Mosang Continent. The same circum-continental train is used in the Weilun continent, the railway route must pass through the holy land of the Weishan tribe, of course the Weishan people do not agree."

Leo guessed: "So you invaded this land by force?"

"Don't think of us as barbaric like you," Sylvia glared at Leo coldly, but then said with a little lack of confidence, "However, the subsequent methods were not very honorable. In short, there was trouble in the end In the Continental Congress, the Continental Congress voted at that time that the sacred land of the Weishan people was the state-owned land of the Mogaganu Kingdom, and the royal government had the right to decide the use of the land, so it forcibly passed the decision to build a railway on the holy land of the Weishan people.”

"What happened next?" Leo speculated according to common sense, and said, "The Weishan people stopped, and the railway company forced the laying of the tracks. There was a conflict between the two sides, and there were heavy casualties."

"Although there was a conflict, there were not many casualties, but the shaman of the Weishan people died." Sylvia said with a grim expression, "After the death of the shaman, the Weishan people disappeared overnight. No more conflicts with the railway company."

"This is not good news." Leo knew very well that anything abnormal represented the coming of disaster.

"People didn't think so at the time." Sylvia had a sneer of disdain, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the railway company that was in charge of the matter at the time, and said: "But soon they panicked, and the top executives of the Imperial Railway Company successively They were killed and dismembered, and each corpse had a declaration of war from the Weishan people. They did not stop retaliating until the senior officials of the railway company and the officials of the Mogaganu Kingdom who participated in that incident were all killed. .”

"It seems that the Weishan people are a very vengeful ethnic group." Leo frowned and said, "Then why did they appear again this time? The speaker who died this time was the one who pushed the parliament to assign the holy land of the Weishan people to Moga Gan Is it the Speaker of the Slave Kingdom?"

Sylvia shook her head and said, "Of course not, the speaker died of illness a few years ago."

Leo analyzed: "It seems that someone is using Weishan people as an excuse to remove some obstacles."

"Do you still need to say that?" Sylvia said angrily: "As long as you have a little wisdom, you can tell who did it, but there is no evidence to prove it."

Leo ignored the sarcasm in Sylvia's tone, but asked curiously, "What does this matter have to do with you? Why did the Sky Tower send more people to protect you?"

Sylvia's complexion immediately became very ugly, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "The reason why the railway company chose the holy place of the Weishan people as the railway route was entirely because I read a novel I wrote and knew that there was a secret valley where you can directly Through the Mosang Mountains."

"Oh! That's it." Leo looked suddenly enlightened, and looked at Sylvia with a look that you deserved. Sylvia's eyelids twitched, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave!" Sylvia felt that if Leo stayed here like this, it would be difficult for her to regain her composure, so she directly ordered the eviction order. ,

Leo had no intention of staying here any longer, so he put the file bag into his backpack and walked out of the room.

After Leo left the room, Sylvia's ups and downs gradually recovered. She looked at the door with complicated eyes, curled her lips, turned to the unconscious Emily, and said, "You also feel that You are a nasty bastard, right? If you don’t speak, you will acquiesce! Your clothes are too bad, you need to change your clothes, your hair is not good-looking, and you need to put on some makeup..."

How Sylvia played with the unconscious Emily like a doll in the room of the Sky Tower, Leo didn't know at all, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Although it was a bit cold, in his eyes, Just a living Emily will do.

After leaving the Sky Tower, Leo went directly to the intercity steam train station at the junction of the three embassy districts of Megalica, Panier, and Mogaganu.

The previous Milia intercity train just left the station five minutes ago, and the next one will arrive in fifteen minutes. Leo sat on the waiting chair on the platform of the station, holding the few bags he just bought. A newspaper was read.

The headlines on the front pages of all the newspapers were the news that the speaker of the Continental Congress had been killed, and the security department of the Continental Congress had already been involved in the investigation.

Although the newspaper reported the death of the speaker, Leo was surprised to find that the ordinary people around him were very indifferent to this matter.

After asking the ordinary passengers sitting beside him who were also waiting for the bus, Leo realized that it was not the first time that the Speaker of the Continental Congress had been assassinated.

In fact, after the establishment of the Continental Congress, no clues were found. It can only be concluded that seventeen speakers died accidentally, and as many as thirty-five speakers were confirmed to have been assassinated or murdered. Only seven speakers were able to die in the end, and among the seven speakers, six resigned from the position of speaker midway, so only one person died in the position of speaker, that is, the previous speaker.

It's no wonder that the people of Miria City see the speaker being killed and dismembered so plainly, mainly because they have experienced too much. For them, the assassination of the speaker is not news, but the news is that the speaker is still alive, like It was the last speaker who died of illness while in office, which was regarded as a miracle by the people of Miria City, and the news and newspapers were reporting on it for a whole week.

At this time, a siren sounded from far away on the railway, followed by a puff of steam rising into the sky, reminding everyone on the platform like a striking sign, everyone stood up from the waiting chairs and walked to the isolation room. Beside the railing.

At this moment, there was a burst of noisy sounds outside the station. Among these sounds were the shouts of ordinary people, the whistle of the police, and the sound of more objects falling on the ground.

It didn't take long to see the crowd at the entrance of the platform not far away suddenly commotion, and then a thin figure squeezed out from the crowd, and quickly ran towards the platform. Behind him were several policemen blowing whistles, waving Baton, give chase quickly.

The people on the platform didn't know what happened, but they didn't want to cause trouble, so they all gave way when the thin figure ran over.

And that thin figure was obviously unwilling to let go of such a good blocking tool. When running in the crowd, he pulled the women who were caught off guard from time to time, making their bodies involuntarily block his running route, blocking Police chasing after.

Soon the thin figure came not far from Leo, and a pair of calm triangular eyes under the deliberately lowered peaked cap glanced at Leo's eye-catching backpack, and a smile hung on his dirty face.

Immediately afterwards, when he passed by Leo, he deliberately bumped into the backpack behind Leo. Ling exposed a small hole in the backpack, and then quickly stuffed something in his hand into the backpack. The whole process was completed in an instant, and with the cover of the body, no one noticed it, except for the two parties involved.

This thin figure was obviously very confident in his technique, he didn't stop to check at all, he rushed forward, turned over the barrier, and ran towards the fast-moving train.

At a certain distance from the front of the train, amidst the exclamations of the crowd on the platform, the thin figure leaped off the platform, landed on the rails, then turned over, rubbed against the edge of the train, and landed on the other side of the train. Disappeared in the steam erupting from the train, leaving only the policemen on the platform screaming angrily.

For the passengers boarding the train on the platform, this incident can be regarded as a gossip during the journey. Many people are guessing whether the thin figure is a man or a woman, and why he was chased by the police, etc. Wait for questions.

As the train stopped on the platform, passengers boarded the train one after another. Leo also got on the train following the flow of people, found a seat by the window and sat down.

Afterwards, Leo randomly picked out one of the Gamore poetry manuscripts handed to him by Rembrandt from his backpack, and looked through it. As for the palm-sized object wrapped in cloth in the corner of the backpack, he did not touch it. .

Soon the train restarted with the sound of a siren, and moved forward slowly. The carriage was not full of people. The seat where Leo was sitting was a bit remote, and there was no one sitting around, so he could read the book in his hand with peace of mind. Gamore poetry.

Although this kind of poem written in Gamore language is obscure and difficult to understand, Leo read it with great interest. He found that the same poem, after changing the pronunciation of the basic root, can become hundreds of poems with completely different meanings , so that he stopped at one stop, and he didn't even fully read the first poem in the manuscript.

However, it is obvious that some people don't want Leo to just read a book leisurely and arrive at the hunting ground in the suburbs smoothly.

The train passed one station and officially left the urban area of ​​Miria. When it entered the suburban city, two big men wearing ordinary cotton jackets and a round felt hat walked to the seat where Leo was, and sat down. Leo's side.

Leo sighed slightly, put down the poetry manuscript in his hand, turned his head to look at the faces of the two people who looked different from those of people from other countries in the Vinylon Continent, said nothing, and forced the one in the backpack into it. The items that came were taken out and placed on the table, as if you took them away and didn't want to cause trouble.

However, the two big guys obviously didn't intend to let Leo go just like that. One of them said, "We hope you can help us take this thing to a place and give it to someone."

"I don't want to cause trouble." Leo looked at the two calmly and said.

"But you're already in trouble," the big man sitting next to Leo threatened, "You'd better agree to help us with this, otherwise..."

Leo sighed again when he heard this. From the eyes of the two big guys, Leo's helpless look made him feel that the other party should have been forced to accept their request.

However, before they could say where to take the things and who to give them to, they felt a pain in their necks, their vision quickly blurred, and their breathing stopped suddenly.

After breaking the necks of the two, Leo gently supported the bodies of the two, let them lie on the table, and then covered their faces with their hats, looking as if they were asleep.

After doing all this, he picked up the object that caused trouble again, but he did not untie the outer cloth bag to see what the object was, but put it back into the backpack directly, and continued to pick up the Gamore language The manuscripts of poetry are read.

After about ten minutes, the train drove two more stops, and finally arrived at the hunting ground station, the destination of Leo's trip.

Leo put the manuscript back into his backpack, stood up, turned over the dead man beside him, and walked towards the exit of the carriage, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Many people on the train get off at this station. Because of the rest day, some civil servants and middle-class families in Miria City will take their families on vacation in the outskirts of the city, and all the surrounding resorts are the best Naturally, it is a hunting ground close to the Dibia Mountains.

Although spring is not a season suitable for hunting, spring is very suitable for outings. It is very pleasant for the whole family to spend a rest day in a mountain villa, so when Leo rented a mountain villa from the hunting hotel When we entered the hut, the person in charge of the reception showed a surprised expression on his face.

Although the reception staff of the Hunting Field Hotel felt puzzled about Leo running to the suburbs alone during this period, they did not show it on their faces, but made a professional recommendation: "If you are alone, I would recommend us to you." Spa hotel..."

"No need! I want to live in a relatively remote mountain hut, and I want to be alone and quiet." Leo said his conditions, and the hotel receptionist who heard the conditions looked at Leo Get a little weird.

Leo also seemed to realize that his words would cause ambiguity, so he added: "Don't worry, I didn't come here to commit suicide. If I wanted to commit suicide, I would not rent a mountain hut, but go directly to the mountain, it would be better Some."

The hotel receptionist rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Hehe! I'm sorry, the main reason is that some of these things happen here every year, which makes us very nervous."

Then the hotel reception staff introduced several mountain huts suitable for one person to live in to Leo, but they were all rejected by Leo.

After rejecting another mountain hut, Leo suddenly suggested, "Do you have a map here? I'll pick an area on the map, and then tell me if there are any vacant mountain huts there."

When the hotel receptionist heard this, he also felt that this method was good, so he asked someone to find a map and spread it on the table.

Soon Leo found the special land on the map that was constantly rented by escapees from No. 9 Golden Oak Street, so he drew an area around the land and asked if there was a suitable mountain hut for rent.

The receptionist of the hotel checked the information and found that there was no holiday cabin built there, but there was a public hunting lodge for hunters to rest. Because it was spring, there were no hunters hunting, so the hunting lodge was vacant.

So the hotel rented the hunting house to Leo, and asked the hotel's hunter guide to lead Leo there.
