The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The book in Leo's hand is a diary, written in Old English, and written in cursive script that would only be used by upper-class nobles, which also allowed him to confirm that the owner of this diary is the English royal family. member.

Although Leo knew the language of the Kingdom of England, he didn't know much about Old English.

Because the royal family of England came from the French Empire, the Kingdom of England used Old French as its official language at first, and then the Kingdom of England began to accept immigrants from other countries, which made the use of the Kingdom of England not voluntarily involved. The languages ​​of these countries were mixed, and finally formed a set of languages ​​unique to the Kingdom of England.

Although the language of the Kingdom of England appeared very early, almost a hundred years after the founding of the Kingdom of England, and formed a system, this language was only used in the conversation of the lower class and never became a written language. Written on paper, all books in the Kingdom of England at that time were still in Old French.

In this situation, it was not until the Kingdom of England began to rise on the sea that the Kingdom of England felt that it should get rid of the shadow of the French Empire and become a powerful independent country, so the first thing they did was to improve Old English.

Old English has been improved three times in total, and finally became the current common English, and the Old English used in the diary in Leo's hands should only be a modified English.

From some unique vocabulary in the notes, it is not difficult to see that there are a lot of unmodified Old French vocabulary in it, but the sentence structure is the sentence pattern of the Kingdom of Sigma, and some conjunctions have not been modified, directly Use the vocabulary of the Kingdom of Marris.

Although Leo doesn't understand this version of Old English, he already has an excellent foundation in the language. He has a certain understanding of French, Maris and other languages, and he will be able to master it soon. This Old English regularity, and read it up a little bit.

The contents of this diary are not many, most of them are some sea logs and other contents, but there are more than a dozen pages in these diaries, which were written by members of the British royal family in Bimoss, not wanting others to know Content.

Bimos secret language is a secret language invented by a person named Bemos that can be freely created according to his own needs. It was first used for important military letters, and was later used by nobles. It became a private letter language for nobles, almost Every noble family has its own Bemus secret language.

This encrypted language has been used for a long time, almost longer than the common languages ​​of some countries. It was only more than a hundred years ago that another linguist from the Maris Kingdom accidentally discovered the meaning of this encrypted language. There is a specific law in the vocabulary combination, and a set of cracking language has been found according to this specific law, so that this encrypted language that has been used for hundreds of years has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

Rembrandt taught this encrypted language when he was learning Gamore language from the old man Rembrandt, because the combination rules of this encrypted language are derived from the root combination rules of Gamore language, so learning This encrypted language can help Leo master the Gamore language faster. The same Gamore language was also found in the deciphering language of Bimosmi, which made him learn the deciphering language by the way, but he didn't expect these two languages ​​to be used here.

Soon, Leo completely deciphered the dozen or so diaries written in encrypted language in the diary, allowing him to see the real purpose of the member of the British royal family on the Jackdaw.

Through the contents of this diary, Leo knew that the reason why the member of the British royal family was sent to serve as Drake's adjutant on the Jackdaw, as he had speculated, was mainly because he was worried that Drake's power would be too inflated. In order to monitor Drake.

On the Jackdaw, the British royal family not only dispatched members of the royal family, but also specially placed a team of elite sailors, who only obeyed the orders of this member of the British royal family, not Drake's orders.

In this regard, Drake did not have any objections, and accepted this distrustful arrangement frankly, and it was precisely because of his frank acceptance that he gained more trust from the royal family of England, at least in the diary Among the recorded content, members of the royal family will write in a positive tone about Drake, and the only thing they criticize is Drake's lustful personality.

However, in the dozen or so diaries written in the secret language of Bimos, there is another incident recorded. This incident is another purpose of the English royal family's deployment of manpower on the Jackdaw, to find the son of the sea god.

In these encrypted diaries, there is no specific description of what the Son of the Sea God is, but considering the previous discovery, I am afraid that the Son of the Sea God should be the forbidden object in the stone ball.

In addition, the encrypted diary mentioned a place called the Forgotten Island. Members of the British royal family believed that the son of Poseidon was on the Forgotten Island, and he was sure that Drake was the only one who arrived at the Forgotten Island and left with a complete memory.

In fact, after seeing the name of Forgotten Island, Leo felt a little familiar. He seemed to have seen this name somewhere. After careful recall, he found that the name of Forgotten Island appeared in a fairy tale book, which was more interesting. The most important thing is that he saw the book in the dream world of Lake Town.

At that time, in order to better understand the situation of Lake Town, Leo bought a lot of books, and some of the fairy tale books were also the focus of his collection, because almost all the fairy tale books were derived from the most widely circulated folk legends , and a large part of these legends are adapted from facts, so analyzing these fairy tale books can find some mysteries hidden in the depths of this world.

The reason why Leo has a deep memory of the fairy tale book recording the Forgotten Island is because that book is the only book that mentions the ocean, and people in the dream world have never seen the sea, and it is impossible Know what the ocean is.

Because of this, the editor of that book specially made some notes, explaining that the ocean is actually another name for Yinyue Lake.

In that book, some things about the Forgotten Island were introduced in detail, such as the origin of the name of the Forgotten Island. That is because every person who arrives at the Forgotten Island will forget it involuntarily the moment they leave the island and will not keep it. For any memory, only those who have obtained the imprint can remember everything that happened on the Forgotten Island, but they will forget the location of the island.

In addition, the book also mentions that there is a god living on the Forgotten Island. This god is in charge of the ocean, and built a palace made of huge stones on the island, and sent two of his servants to guard it. It is disaster, a servant of opportunity. Disaster pushes those close to death, and opportunity gives life to those who are about to die.

Looking back on the content of that book now, it is obvious that this god should refer to Sea God, and there are also two servant gods beside Sea God, one is the guardian of the abyss in the form of an octopus, and the other is the formless storm disaster .

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help recalling the storm that sent the Queen Mary into the bottom of the sea, and thought of the strange and deadly plague on the Queen Mary.

In the belief of the sea god in the Kingdom of England, the disaster of the storm not only controls the storm at sea, but also controls the plague at sea. In the early voyages, the probability of the plague on the ship was very high, and the people who died of the plague would be used as sacrifices Throw it into the sea and send it to the disaster of the storm, praying to appease his anger so that the storm will not appear in the future voyage.

"Could it be that the plague is related to Sea God?" Leo couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind, and couldn't help muttering: "But why did you do this? Is it because of me? Or is it because of other people?"

Leo carefully recalled the whole process of his boarding and death, analyzed every suspicious point, and finally judged that the problem was not with himself, nor with other passengers on the same ship, and it was very likely that it was Queen Mary. No. on the goods shipped.

He recalled that the owner had vacated the whole of the Queen Mary's bottom storehouse, which also included a large number of lower cabins, in order to load the cargo.

According to the ship owner's greedy practice of remodeling the first-class cabin and letting the first-class passengers share with other passengers, the vacated bottom warehouse should be filled with cargo, only in this way is it worth the reputation he lost.

But when Leo recalled it now, he found that most of the bottom cabin of the Queen Mary was empty, and some guest rooms were occupied by people. Those people were not ordinary people, they should be soldiers.

This abnormal phenomenon should have attracted his attention at the time, but his mind was all on the items of the Wetzkers at that time. Even if he found the unusual place through the spiritual network, he didn't think so much at all. Thinking about it suspiciously, I realized the weirdness in it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Forgotten Island." After making some judgments, Leo brought his attention back to the situation in front of him, and boldly guessed.

There was no basis for Leo's speculation. He found neither a stone temple nor any traces of gods on the island, but his intuition told him that this was the Forgotten Island, and it might be the same as the Black Forest. , is also a subspace that overlaps with the real world, and the best evidence is the psionic creatures that inhabit here.

Leo, who made a judgment, decided to wait until dawn tomorrow to explore the entire island to see if he could find some useful clues.

Just when Leo put down the diary in his hand and was about to rest, the wave of spiritual energy coming from outside made him alert, and he activated his spiritual vision, let go of the spiritual net, and walked onto the deck.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and because there were no clouds, the stars in the sky were very clear.

For Leo, he was tired of seeing the stars all over the sky when he was in the Earth Federation, and they couldn't attract his eyes at all, but his sights with the power of spiritual vision all fell on the junction of the beach and the jungle outside the ship.

I saw that some very small light spots appeared in that area. These small light spots looked like fireflies, but each of them contained extremely strong spiritual energy, and Leo's spiritual vision could capture these light spots. Dots could be seen more clearly, and after seeing the true colors of these light dots, his face also became serious.

Although Leo guessed that the island he was living on now was the Forgotten Island, and he also knew that the Forgotten Island was the back garden of Sea God, but in his heart he didn't really hope that his guess was right. Because in his opinion, even if he is already a fifth-level psyker, he is still an ant-like existence in front of this ancient god who is likely to reach an Omega-level advanced creature, and this kind of person who cannot control his own destiny and life The feeling really made him uncomfortable.

But it is regrettable that he may experience this uncomfortable feeling again, because at this moment he has already determined that even if this island is not the Forgotten Island, it is definitely the residence of an ancient god, and let him The sure reason is those little spots of light, and those little spots of light are all goblins.

When he was in the Black Forest, Leo had seen this kind of goblin before, but the goblins in the Black Forest were much bigger than the little goblins he saw now, and I am afraid they should be much stronger. Back in the Black Forest, his strength was still very low, not enough to sense the strength of those goblins.

At the beginning, he just regarded those goblins as ordinary psychic creatures. It wasn't until he gained the knowledge of the Web Weaver that he realized that those goblins were divine creatures, and they would only appear around real ancient gods. Serving the ancient god, when the ancient god dies, the goblin will also die with the ancient god.

So the appearance of these goblins probably means that this is the residence of an ancient god, and more importantly, this ancient god is still alive, but a little weak, otherwise, the goblin's body would not be so small.

These goblins gathered at the junction of the jungle and the beach didn't make any noteworthy movements, they just danced irregularly in the air, and continuously emitted waves of psionic energy from their bodies.

Not long after, Leo's mental network sensed something unusual in the sea, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the dark sea. I saw that in addition to the waves formed by reflecting moonlight on the sea surface, there are some biological light clusters that seem to be produced by plankton under the sea surface, and these light clusters are getting more and more brighter, even overwhelming the waves on the sea surface , forming a sea of ​​light.

These light clusters slowly approached the coast with the waves, and when they were about to run aground, they saw the light clusters stand up from the water surface.

I saw that these light clusters were all transparent jellyfish emitting real light from their bodies. They supported their bodies with their tiny tentacles, moved forward slowly, and soon walked onto the beach, to the junction of the beach and the jungle.

After the jellyfish entered their area, the goblins who had been flying all over the sky immediately gathered around the jellyfish like bees whose hive had been attacked, and opened their small mouths full of sharp teeth to land on the jellyfish.

Then the jellyfish shrunk rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then disappeared, turning into countless light spots and being captured and devoured by these goblins.

These jellyfishes of light continuously drilled out of the sea, moved towards the jungle, and then were swallowed by the goblins. Although the goblin devoured the jellyfish very quickly, the number of jellyfish was so huge that it was beyond the goblin's handling limit, so some jellyfish broke through the death line and entered the jungle.

However, the moment the jellyfish entered the jungle, something changed that surprised Leo.
