The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

I don't know if it's because of his experience on the deserted island or because of his own personality. Bernando loves books very much, but he is different from scholars who love books. Except for a few books that he can read carefully, most of the other books I read them casually, and even bought many books without reading them, just for collection.

Bernando's habit is also well-known in Matou Bay. Many people suspect that Bernando's private collection may be more than the sum of all the officials' collections in Matou Bay. The confirmation received by the leader of the pioneering group when he left Matou Bay.

Perhaps because he thought that he would not return to Matou Bay this time, when he left, Bernando took away the part of his collection that he considered the most valuable, and the part he took away was full of five cars. Carriage, and the number of books that were not taken away can already build a large library.

Leo naturally coveted these books by Bernando, and he has been paying attention to those books since he left Matou Bay. Now that he has reached a cooperation agreement with Bernando, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to read those books.

Bernando did not refuse this, and he readily issued a certificate for Leo to read books, and also provided some pens and paper to allow him to copy some books. The only thing that is not allowed is that the books cannot be taken out of the storage of books carriage.

Although Bernando only took some books from his own collection, there are more than 400 books in this part. When Bernando was busy building a new temporary camp and contacting the Nature Association these two days, Leo Just stay quietly in the carriage where the books are stored, and look through these precious books.

It is not only because of the knowledge recorded in the books that these books are precious, but more importantly, these books are the private collections of some famous scholars in the Novat continent and their unpublished research materials. The reason why they have not been published may be due to some There may be social reasons as well as personal reasons.

According to the customs of Novat Continent, all kinds of materials and anthologies that these scholars have not published after their death will be donated by friends or colleagues of the scholars, plus the corresponding appropriation from the kingdom, and then compiled into volumes and handed over to the heirs of the scholars for safekeeping.

And because such books contain a lot of fantastic ideas of scholars and research results of unknown value, they are extremely valuable in the book market of Novat Continent, and even some celebrity books that involve some secret things are even more expensive. For example, a court scholar inadvertently recorded the course of a very important palace coup in one of his research notes. This notebook was later inadvertently compiled into the anthology of the scholar after his death. As a result, the anthology was The mysterious man bought it at an astonishing price enough to buy a manor in the capital of that country.

Of course, the books bought by Bernando cannot be of such high value, but some of the anthologies compiled by some scholars after their death are also very expensive, and these anthologies bought by Bernando are all related to geography, history, and folklore. Relevant, very targeted, and the value of such books in the market is slightly lower, and it is precisely because of this that Bernando can buy so many books with his wealth.

The reason why the prices of books such as geography, history and folklore are not high is that the content in these books does not bring any value to buyers. Most books such as history and folklore are classified into Some useless bedside books and the like.

Although geography books sometimes involve the division of mineral veins, the problem is that except for a very small number of countries in the Novat continent, most other countries do not allow private mining. All mineral deposits belong to the country or the king. Even the lord of the territory where the mine is located does not allow private excavation, otherwise he will be convicted of treason, so even if someone who studies geography knows where there are rich mines, it is impossible to give any benefit to the person who obtained the book.

After Bernando bought these books, he obviously read them many times, because there are many reading experiences left by him in these books, but unfortunately these reading experiences are of no value to Leo. Compared with the reading experience left by Bernando, some textual content left by other book owners in the past is somewhat useful.

For example, in a folklore book, there is a folklore about a white-haired ranger. The content of the legend is very simple, that is, a white-haired ranger was found in a certain area in the past. Distribute the looted money to the poor.

The story is very simple and very common. There are similar legends in the folklore of various countries in the Novat continent, but the previous owner of this book should be a scholar who specializes in folklore research. He believes that this book The folklore about the white-haired ranger in the book should be the earliest legend of the white-haired ranger on the Novat continent.

For this reason, he specially went to the birthplace of this folklore to investigate, and the investigation took three years, and his investigation materials were also compiled into a book, but Bernando did not have this book in his hand, but luckily The scholar left a few pages of information related to the investigation results and glued them to the pages of this folklore book, and they were sandwiched in the book, and these pages of information had a great effect on Leo.

In these few pages of information, the scholar mentioned that the white-haired ranger in folklore is actually a woman, and this woman has a pair of emerald green childlike holes and has extremely superb swordsmanship. The reason why this scholar knows so much , because he found a statue of the white-haired ranger from the same period as the legend of the white-haired ranger. Although the statue is somewhat damaged, the general shape can still be seen clearly, and the eyes decorated with emeralds are also intact. This allows scholars to determine that the white-haired ranger has a green hole.

In addition, there is a wolf head ornament and a symbol of some kind of bird on the statue. Scholars think that this may be a badge of some kind of nobleman, so they speculate that the white-haired ranger is actually a nobleman, and may have lost his nobility for some reason. That's why they groaned at those bad nobles and regarded them as targets of robbery.

After seeing these contents, Leo immediately had an association in his mind. The emerald green boy hole, the white-haired woman, who possesses extremely high sword skills, plus the wolf head ornaments and bird symbols, etc., made him think of himself. The girl named Ciri he saw in the world with the witcher, he remembered that he had read some books that mentioned the legend of the ancient blood, and it is said that people with the ancient blood can freely live Traveling through space, and the girl named Xili seems to have the blood of the ancients, and has also traveled to different worlds.

Therefore, Leo suspected that Ciri might have come to this world, and stayed here for a long time, creating the legend of the white-haired ranger before leaving.

Leo is also very interested in how Ciri left this world. He speculates that it has something to do with Ciri's bloodline. Perhaps this kind of power from the bloodline can pass through the space barrier directly without being released outside the body. According to relevant legends, it was mentioned that the white-haired ranger can enter any place, including the private chambers of nobles, which makes Leo feel like some kind of ability to travel through space.

Discovering that there may be a connection between this world and the world where the witcher lives is only one of the gains Leo gained from these books. The gains that Leo really valued were in those books about history. He discovered that this world and Velen The world is more closely connected than he guessed, and this closeness is not only reflected in history, but also in the gods.

That's right, not only people from the world of Velen have come to this world in the past, even the gods are very likely to have come to this world and stayed in this world for a long time.

The reason why Leo thinks so is because in the history of countries in Novat Continent, there are some particularly famous political reforms that are almost exactly the same as some political reforms in Velen Continent. The names of the recipients are also different.

For example, the most famous law of aristocratic power in the French Empire appeared in the Kingdom of Angris, the largest inland country in the continent of Novat in the world, and became the core law for stabilizing the regime after the Kingdom of Angris. All the contents of this act are recorded in detail in the relevant historical books, and these contents are exactly the same as the law of power of the nobles of the French Empire that Leo had read. The sentences are exactly the same, only the language is different, and even the name is the Act of Noble Power.

Although from the point of view of time, it seems that the French Empire first announced this noble power law, but after experiencing the appearance of the Queen Sydney, Leo already felt that although this world and the world of Velen are connected to each other, the time flow is fast. But it is different, so it is very likely that the Noble Power Act was issued here first, and then the Faran Empire could come to this world to see this act, and then return to the world of Velen, and then pass the act It was submitted and announced in the Faran Empire, becoming one of the many laws of the Faran Empire to limit the power of nobles.

The reason why he guessed this way is because judging from the content of this law, it was completely set up for the political system of the Kingdom of Angris in the Novat continent, so even now the Kingdom of Angris can still be strengthened with this set of laws. The royal power limits the power of the nobility and makes the domestic political situation extremely stable.

On the other hand, the French Empire, although this set of laws can still be implemented in the French Empire, many of the provisions in it are not suitable for the political structure of the French Empire, so the effect is not particularly great, so that it needs to be promulgated continuously later Relevant supplementary clauses are used to strengthen the execution of this set of laws, but even so, this set of laws still cannot save the collapse of the French Empire, so from the implementation effect of this set of laws, it can be judged whether the source of the laws is where.

In addition, Leo also learned from the information of the French Empire that the proposer of this set of laws was Earl Wilmans. Although the law will also restrict military aristocrats to a certain extent, the traditional aristocratic system will be hit harder.

And this Earl of Wellmans' identity is not ordinary. Although he follows his mother's surname, his father's surname is Belmont, which means that he is a member of the Belmont family. This also makes Leo suspect that he will lose a memory , and then came to this world, perhaps related to Sylvia, and Sylvia is also very likely to be in this world.

In addition to the aristocratic power laws, these historical books also recorded some laws that were also familiar to Leo. Although some of these laws have slightly different names and some contents have been slightly deleted, the overall appearance is similar to that of the Vinylon world. Certain representative laws fit together so well that even a blind man could see that the two were connected.

However, this is not what Leo cares about the most. What Leo really cares about is the gray fog that once existed on the ocean of this world.

Bernando is obviously also very interested in the gray fog on the sea, so there are a lot of books on the research of gray fog among these books. Among these books, there are not many books that are really valuable, and only two are the most valuable, one is called gray fog The Observer, a book called Ghost Ship in the Mist.

As the name suggests, the book Fog Observer is a book dedicated to recording the changes in the fog. In fact, this book is not the work of a certain researcher. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is a book set up by a coastal kingdom named Jamole. An organization called the Gray Fog Observation Lighthouse has recorded the observation records of the gray fog over the years. This book is also the thickest set of books among all Bernando's books. There are as many as thirteen books, and the thickness of each book is They are three times that of other normal secretaries.

The content of this book is extremely boring. The records similar to the chronicle are just one line of date and one line of observation records. The content of most of the record lines is the same as above, because the fog is very stable and rarely changes. It only needs one line to record, for example, the color of the gray fog becomes lighter or darker, and the gray fog appears to roll like a cloud, etc.

It is these boring records that allow Leo to confirm that the disappearance of the gray fog on the sea in this world is related to the appearance of the gray fog in Velen's world, because these records have mentioned more than once that there were huge monster images in the gray fog, and observed The observers also recorded the monster's appearance in detail, but these observers only recorded a part, and the following content became some meaningless random words. It seems that the person who recorded this content quickly stripped away his rationality, turned into a madman.

And even if he only recorded part of the appearance of the monsters in the gray mist, Leo could still find out from these gray fog monsters with obvious characteristics that these monsters also appeared in the gray fog of Velen World. The frequency of these monsters in this world is very low, but in the world of Velen they appear frequently.

From this, Leo made a bold guess that the gray fog in this world has not disappeared, but has moved to the world of Velen.
