The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After watching Rupert Fitz do all the protection, Ljungberg standing by the window suddenly said: "We hope that Mr. Dodd can help us solve a person."

"Who are we going to solve? Duke Dewen?" Leo said, looking at everyone coldly.

"If you can solve the Duke, of course it is very good." Rupert smiled and said: "It's a pity that you didn't even kill me. It may be difficult to kill Duke Dewen. As far as I know The black forest ring has already been worn on his hand, and it has already responded to the resonance of the blood of the gods on his body. Unless he is far away from this continent, or takes the initiative to take off the ring, otherwise, it will be very difficult to kill him. This must be very clear to His Royal Highness Prince Philip."

When he said these words, Rupert deliberately looked at Prince Philip at the side. Although Prince Philip tried his best to hold back the displeasure in his heart at this moment, his face became a little gloomy.

The reason why this battle for the throne ended so quickly was that it had already come to an end before it officially started. In addition to the unanimous approval of the military nobles for Duke Devin's resolute and decisive character and his unscrupulous way of doing things in pursuit of victory, Mostly because of the biggest variable, the Black Forest Ring.

No one thought that the Black Forest Ring would resonate with the blood of Duke Devin, and no one expected that the influence of the Black Forest Ring would be so great. The Black Forest Ring made the nobles of the territory who had no attitude at all turn to Duke Devin Here, even many territorial nobles who had secretly expressed their support for Prince Philip also turned against each other.

In the end, even the Royal Guard controlled by Prince Philip finally betrayed him. If he hadn't secretly mastered a team in Winterfell and controlled a spare continental train, he might have been with his The brothers were also imprisoned by the Duke of Devin in the Black Forest Castle, wearing an iron mask, and will never be able to see the outside world again.

Before leaving Winterfell, the flustered Prince Philip also tried to deal with the Duke of Devin through the final assassination method, but in the end he lost all his well-prepared hole cards, and even implicated his mother clan. Let him escape to the western continent like a bereaved dog, which has become his biggest heart disease.

Seeing Rupert deliberately uncovering Prince Philip's scar, Baron de Maupassant frowned and said coldly: "Rupert Fitz, if you really treat your allies like this, we can cancel the previous negotiation results At that time, Prince Philip and I can go into exile overseas. Although we have no power, our overseas property is enough for us to live a prosperous life. I just don’t know what will happen to you? Do you think Dewen’s character will Are people like you allowed to continue to exist? Or are you also planning to give up the industry you have worked so hard for so many years in the western continent and flee overseas?"

Rupert Fitz didn't show any expression on his face. He just remained silent for a moment and said to Prince Philip, "Can all the decisions he makes represent you? His Royal Highness Prince Philip."

"Of course." Prince Philip said without hesitation.

"That's good." Rupert Fitz raised his head, feeling as if he wanted to terminate the cooperation, but suddenly changed the topic and said, "Let's continue talking about what we just said!"

Rupert Fitz's teasing approach made everyone present very dissatisfied, but they were more thinking about why Rupert Fitz did this. In their opinion, the other party seemed to be harboring what purpose.

For a moment, everyone was thinking about something in their hearts, no one spoke, and the room became a little quiet.

However, as a bystander, Leo didn't have such complicated thoughts at all. In his opinion, Rupert Fitz was just playing with Prince Philip and Baron de Maupassant, without any deep meaning at all.

At this moment, Leo broke the silence in the room, and said in a deep voice: "If you all came here to let me watch your arguments, I'm sorry, I'm not interested, so please don't waste my time, just talk directly! "

Regarding Leo's unceremonious words, everyone present frowned slightly, and then Ljungberg continued: "We hope that Mr. Dodd can help us get rid of the commander of the First French Army stationed outside the city." Jacques Huppert."

"What can I get?" Leo asked directly without considering the difficulty of the assassination.

"You can have our friendship," said the Baron de Maupassant.

Leo looked at Baron de Maupassant with the eyes of an idiot, but said nothing.

Baron de Maupassant was so annoyed that he wanted to rush forward to punch Leo, but he finally endured it and turned to look at the others.

"I can pay four million gold flanges for this." Rupert Fitz directly offered an astonishing price.

It's a pity that Leo was not moved at all, and said coldly: "I am not short of money."

"We can guarantee the safety of your comrades in the Western Continent." Lawrence behind Rupert Fitz said.

Facing Lawrence's threat, Leo sneered, and responded unceremoniously: "If my comrades and friends are injured, no matter what the circumstances are, even if they are injured by themselves, I will count them among you. body, don’t blame me for not notifying everyone in advance.”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lawrence, and said with a smile, "Do you want to do it? Once you do it, there is no room for repayment. You have to think clearly."

I saw that Lawrence's hand was covered by a layer of bloodshot at some point.

Seeing this situation, Ljungberg and Claudia both took two steps back to distance themselves from Lawrence, while Baron de Maupassant took a step forward and protected Prince Philip behind him.

"Sorry, my butler is too impulsive to listen to the slightest threat to me." At this moment, Rupert Fitz stepped into the middle of the confrontation between the two, easily defusing the tense atmosphere, and then turned towards Lei. Ou said: "You have stayed with Mr. Rembrandt for so many days. You must be interested in the occult books collected by Mr. Rembrandt. I also have a occult book here. I don't know if it can be used as a reward for you. .”

"What book?" Leo asked curiously, relaxing the nerves that had been tense because of Lawrence just now.

"The Book of Nightfall." Rupert Fitz said the title of the book.

Hearing the title of the book, the other people around were all in a daze, obviously not knowing the book at all.

It’s just that Leo sounded familiar. After searching the database through the sub-brain system, he quickly got the answer. Then he showed a surprised expression and wanted Rupert Fitz to confirm: “The Book of Night you mentioned But the sigh of the night god in the madman's thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge?"

Hearing Leo's words, except for Prince Philip, a person who is not in the dark world and doesn't know much about the dark world, the faces of the others all changed, and they all showed horrified expressions, looking at Rupert Fitz It's like watching a monster.

"The sigh of the night god is in your hands?" Ljungberg couldn't help the excitement in his heart, he stepped forward two steps, stared at Rupert Fitz with a serious face, and said very seriously: "You shouldn't hold it, you It should be destroyed, it is a disaster!"

"Hmm! You're right, this source of disaster should indeed be destroyed." Rupert Fitz nodded vigorously, as if he fully agreed with Ljungberg's proposal, then changed the topic, and said: " How about it! Since what you said is so righteous, I will send you to the Holy Mountain of the Orthodox Church by airship, please go talk to those old men of the Orthodox Church, let them destroy the Whispers in the Mist in their hands, and I will destroy me How about the Book of Nightfall in your hand?"

Ljungberg was speechless by the cynicism, and retreated to his companion with a gloomy face.

On the other side, Prince Philip felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked Baron Maupassant, "Baron, what is the Book of Night?"

Upon hearing this, Baron Maupassant introduced to Prince Philip in a low voice: "In the era when the French Empire was still ruled by three kings, a smart madman emerged from the monks of the Orthodox Holy See. He used his identity to collect information from all over the world. The mysteries of the disappeared ancient gods, and compiled them into thirteen ancient god knowledge."

"Do those books have any magical powers? Just like those wizards and wonders?" Prince Philip asked curiously, touching a few rings on his hands involuntarily.

"At the beginning, no one knew what power those books had, but everyone who read them was crazy." Baron Maupassant continued, his face became serious, and said: "Later, a crazy monk will Twelve of the thirteen books of ancient god knowledge were brought out of the holy mountain and spread to all continents in the world of Velen. However, there was no news about this book for hundreds of years. Until the time of the great plague, there were rumors Said that the cause of the plague was caused by one of the books called Death's Kiss."

Hearing this, Prince Philip's face also became serious. Even after hundreds of years, the great plague that almost wiped out all humans in the three continents is still the fear in everyone's heart, and now someone actually owns a book It has the same origin as the books that created the Great Plague, which made him have to be cautious about this matter.

Prince Philip thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Fitz, I think the book in your hand should not be leaked out, but should be handed over to the Holy Mountain. If you are willing to do so, the conditions we negotiated yesterday can be based on your best start……"

"Your Highness!" Baron de Maupassant immediately stopped him: "If you agree to such a condition, what is the difference between you and being under house arrest in Black Forest Castle?"

"It's okay." Prince Philip raised his hand to signal Baron Maupassant to stop talking, and then asked Rupert Fitz: "What do you think of this kind of compensation?"

Rupert Fitz said with a regretful face: "To be honest, I also hope to agree to your proposal, His Royal Highness, but unfortunately you made a mistake. My book is the Book of Night, not the Night God's Sigh."

"What's going on here?" Prince Philip asked puzzled.

"The monk who brought those twelve books of ancient god knowledge down the mountain tried to write down the knowledge he got from the book," Leo answered Prince Philip's doubts at this time, and said, "It's just that he only wrote After finishing a book, I went crazy and burned myself as firewood, so there are two copies of Night God's Sigh, one is the original version of the original madman, and the other is the reading version of the firewood monk. For some reasons, in In some rumors, the two editions of the book will be confused, so over time, most people will regard them as one book."

"The Book of Nightfall is the reading version of the firewood monks. It does not have the power of the original version, so there is no need to worry about any disasters coming." Rupert Fitz also added: "If there are really any disasters In terms of power, this book has been in my hands for more than ten years, why haven't I been affected?"

"That's because you didn't read." Ljungberg said somewhat tit-for-tat.

Rupert Fitz asked back with a smile, "How do you know I haven't read that book?"

"Have you read it?" Ljungberg was startled, staring at Rupert Fitz's expression, and said in a deep voice.

However, Rupert Fitz didn't intend to reveal his true intention at all. He ignored Ljungberg, turned his head to look at Leo, and said, "Mr. Dodd, do you think this reward is enough?"

Leo was silent for a while, and said, "I have to read the book before I can give you an answer."

"Of course no problem." Rupert Fitz obviously came prepared, and he turned his head and nodded to Lawrence beside him as he spoke.

Lawrence took two steps forward, took a leather bag from his body, opened it, took out a metal box that looked like brass, but the weight was a bit wrong, and handed it to Leo.

Leo took the box and opened it without thinking too much.

I saw a book that looked as thick as a dictionary, and the paper was ordinary bark paper lying in the box. On the cover of the book, a large number of weird words covered the surface, as if a neurotic had recorded his ravings. Everyone who sees it will have an inexplicable sense of vertigo.

Others can only obtain the superficial information of the book by observing it with the naked eye, but Leo is obviously more intuitive, he sees the essence of the book.

Because the moment the metal box was opened, his spiritual perception immediately felt a chilling spiritual energy emanating from the book and wrapping around his body.

Afterwards, he turned on his spiritual vision, observed the book through the ability of spiritual vision, and saw a blurred phantom composed of psionic energy on the surface of the book. Tentacle-like phantoms were extending from the phantom to wrap around his body. body.

At the moment he saw this phantom, he also found that his daily willpower was slowly decreasing, just like seeing omega-level creatures such as the golden giant deer, but the reaction was not so strong, and it would decrease a little after five or six minutes.

Leo turned off his spirit vision, closed the metal box again, was silent for a while, and then said to Rupert Fitz: "I accept this deal. Now give me the information of the head of the First Legion, the more detailed The better."

Ljungberg said: "You don't need to read his profile, I will invite him to the Miria City Police Headquarters tomorrow to discuss Miria City checkpoints and defense issues, you just need to assassinate the three brothers last time, Assassinate him at the gate of the headquarters."
