The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 455 Unlucky Cycle

Unlike Rembrandt, who was keen on the exploration of ancient civilizations, Earl Ed is not interested in the remains of prehistoric civilizations hidden in the wasteland of the Mozambique continent. He is interested in those tribes with strong primitive tribal characteristics Products of civilization and rare animals that have never been seen in the wilderness.

In order to support his hobbies, Earl Ed did not hesitate to purchase property in Mozambique, spending half of his time in Mozambique every year.

I don't know whether it's because Earl Ed has a strong business talent, or because Earl Ed is very lucky. Almost all his investments in Mozambique have made money. The only difference is that he earns more and less.

But even so, after years of accumulation, Earl Ed became one of the few wealthy nobles in the Kingdom of England, and the books on animals in the wilderness that Earl Ed wrote based on his notes became the kingdom of England, even The best-selling book in the world of Vinylon has gained him a lot of fame.

However, Earl Ed is definitely not a good person for the people of the primitive tribes in the Mosang continent. He even provoked a tribal war by all means in order to obtain a sacred object of the primitive tribe, causing tens of thousands of people to die. The death of the three tribal civilizations became extinct.

It was also because of his bad behavior that the Mozambique Civilization Alliance headed by the Kingdom of America and California later expelled him from the Mozambique continent in the form of a decree, and he did not set foot in the Mozambique continent until his death.

Some people think that Earl Ed's death was not an accident, it is probably the revenge of those tribes, because among the shamans of those primitive tribes there are some supernatural beings who can control wild beasts, and it is nothing if they control the horse to throw Earl Ed difficulty.

In addition, after the death of Earl Ed, his various industries in Mozambique were attacked by various forces. In a short period of time, he changed from a multinational company to a rubbish company with heavy debts. It can be seen that there is something tricky in it.

After reading the text recording the life of Earl Ed, what Leo thought was that the metal block of the pyramid should be the sacred object that triggered it, because in all relevant records, there is no final whereabouts of the sacred object, as if the sacred object Just disappeared out of thin air.

"Dakalan!" Leo recited a standard tribal name in the Mozambique continent. The language used for this name is the ancient Jiashi language. According to its literal meaning, it means forgetting, and the additional function of the control device Thinking about reconciliation, this also made Leo more sure that the pyramid metal block should be the sacred object of the Dakalan tribe.

However, even if he knew about this tribe, Leo had no way to get any useful information from this tribe, because this tribe was the first tribal civilization to perish in that tribal war, and the entire tribe was slaughtered, except for a few children. In addition to being captured by other tribes and made into slaves, other adults and elderly people were killed. At least half of the tens of thousands of people who died in the final tribal war belonged to the Dakalan tribe.

Fortunately, the ruins of the Dakalan tribe are still there, and they have been used by the people of the Kingdom of Megalica to transform it into a tourist attraction and compile it into the travel brochure. Now Leo has such a travel guidebook. manual.

Not long ago, Leo asked the butler to collect all the books related to the Mozambique continent as much as possible. In the end, the butler collected more than a thousand books, more than half of which were travel books. If you are familiar with the Mozambique continent, this kind of book that combines geography, history, customs, etc. is the most suitable book.

So after Leo confirmed that the metal blocks of the pyramid might come from the Dakalan tribe, he immediately found all the books related to Dakalan, including this travel manual, and it is also the least rigorous one. The travel brochure is the most helpful to Leo.

In this travel brochure, the publishing house asked someone to draw some restored tribal pictures. In those pictures, there are tribal houses, tribal living objects, etc. Although the artist's painting skills are not very good, he can The things I saw were faithfully drawn, including some decorative patterns on materials and daily necessities, and many of those patterns were exactly the same as those on the metal blocks of the pyramid.

After confirming the origin of the metal block of the pyramid, Leo did not rush to the Mosang Continent. Although he must be going to the Mosang Continent, it is not now, so he also assigned this matter to him. One of the plans was put on hold for the time being.

In the next few days, Leo lived peacefully. He was familiar with the king and queen every day. After so many days of repeated training, he had mastered the skills of using the king and queen, and he was able to perfectly control the power of the bullets. One shot will blast a big hole and penetrate countless obstacles.

As his skill with the king and queen gradually deepened, he also liked the pair of psionic weapons more, because the pair of psionic weapons would increase in power as his strength grew, until the pair of weapons could bear the limit, and According to Leo's estimate, at least until he reaches the eighth level of psyker, these weapons can be used.

Moreover, the examples of the king and queen are not limited to penetration and blasting. Leo found that through some usage skills, these two weapons not only contain the previous spiritual effects, but even expand some new effects.

For example, in addition to the bursting, flame, and freezing effects that the king originally possessed, he also possesses the power of nerve shock, which can directly attack the nervous system in the target body through shock without causing fatal damage to the target. It is most suitable to deal with those extraordinary people who are physically strong enough to withstand some external attacks.

As for the queen's new ability, it's a lot worse. In addition to the enhanced penetration and ultra-long-range shooting effects, the queen can also attach the user's spirit to the bullet, so that when the bullet is fired, the user can use the power of the mind. To a certain extent, it affects the direction of bullet flight, that is to say, it can control the bullet to turn in the air.

However, this kind of effect is really tasteless to Leo, because the queen's penetrating bullet alone is enough to penetrate any bunker, and he only needs to determine the target location through the mental net.

During the days when Leo was familiar with the new weapons, the senior management of the Kingdom of England experienced a storm, because the espionage case involved in the theft of Earl Ed's warehouse seemed to snowball. It was only within the Special Bureau, but it spread to the various parliaments in just a few days, and in the end even the Congress and the royal family were involved.

At this time, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England realized that their interior had been infiltrated by spies from various countries. For a while, the royal family, the Duke of Buckingham, the aristocracy and the Congress quickly reached a consensus to arrest and eliminate all spies. Except for a few who received the news and escaped, most of the other spies and insiders were all arrested. Among those arrested were four members of the royal family, seven members of Congress, dozens of members of parliaments from various places, and a large number of government officials.

Although this great purge has caused great damage to the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England, and has almost shaken the pillars of the Kingdom of England, but for the people at the bottom, it has not touched much at all. It is just more talk after dinner, and You can gloat and laugh at those noble gentlemen who were caught.

For Leo, after this incident expanded to the entire upper echelon of the Kingdom of England, it also had some adverse effects, because after investigation, the old Marquis Roosevelt also leaked some secrets to hostile countries when he was a court official, so the Marquis Roosevelt family is also the subject of arrest.

However, the Marquis Roosevelt was very alert and well-informed, and he knew the danger was coming early, so before the Kingdom of England formally arrested him, he moved his entire family to the mainland of Mozambique, leaving only a few The manor and other industries that cannot be taken away, as well as some unimportant servants.

As for Sir Roland, although he did not find any leakage of state secrets or other treasonous acts, he left the Kingdom of England with the heir of Marquis Roosevelt because of other things. This behavior was also regarded as treason by the Kingdom of England. The academy canceled Sir Roland's lifelong degree, and the royal family also deprived him of his noble status.

Now that Sir Roland has left the Kingdom of England, Leo's original plan has naturally come to nothing, and what makes Leo feel a little annoyed is that he was also passively involved in the espionage case. In two days, three batches came to the apartment. People came to inquire, as if they regarded Leo as a potential suspect.

The reason why Leo was involved was that Leo had already purchased the Marquis Roosevelt's factory at a very low price before. Those investigators saw that the current factory was starting to improve, and it was profitable, and it also had the potential to develop into a The big factories completely forgot that these factories were on the verge of closing down when Leo took over. Therefore, I think that those factories are high-quality industries and should not be sold by the Marquis Roosevelt at such a low price. There must be some ulterior secrets in them.

The biggest problem is that the investigators knew from the servants of the Marquis's mansion that Leo had secretly met with the heir to the Marquis of Roosevelt and Sir Roland at the banquet held before the heir to the Marquis of Roosevelt left. The heir and Sir Roland left Port of Sete.

This makes anyone who reads this information involuntarily feel that there is something wrong between Leo, Marquis Roosevelt and Sir Roland, so Leo, who had already escaped from the warehouse item theft case, was given to him by the investigators of the espionage case. If it wasn't for Nelson Matthews and his wife who tried their best to guarantee Leo's loyalty, and someone in the royal family also sent a message to keep Leo, maybe a lot of secret police would have rushed to the apartment to arrest Leo.

Faced with this situation, Leo was also a little dumbfounded. Although it felt like an accidental disaster, it was not difficult to find that the source of this matter was still on him. In a way, it was self-inflicted.

When Leo thought that the contact with Sir Roland might be broken, the mail package delivered by a newsboy in the morning made Leo feel that the development of the matter seemed to be turning around, because the mail package was sent by Sir Roland, and there was only one This note, which contains a large number of unknown languages ​​whose words have been scrambled, and two pieces of paper are also included in the package. One of the pieces of paper contained an address of the Kingdom of America, which should be the place where Sir Roland lived now, while the other piece of paper contained an address of Port of Sete and a bunch of confusing words.

Leo has already visited the entire Port of Dorset during this period of time. With the help of the Spirit Net, he has constructed a complete map of the Port of Dorset in his mind, so after seeing the address, he hardly needs to go through it. Any map search can easily find out the location of this address and know the situation inside.

But after he confirmed the address written on the piece of paper, he felt a little surprised, because that address turned out to be the National Bank of the Kingdom of England.

"Is it a bank safe?" Leo thought about it carefully, and soon understood the meaning of the string of confusing words.

The Kingdom of England was one of the first countries to build banks in the Vinylon World, and through the convenience of its maritime overlord, its banking network expanded to all parts of the world. Almost every country has the shadow of the National Bank of the Kingdom of England, and it is also necessary to store valuables. It has become an important business of the National Bank.

Leo put the note pointing to the National Bank on the table, reached out to pick up the notebook, and studied it carefully. It was obvious that the things Sir Roland stored in the National Bank had been translated by him as Leo As for the payment for the language and writing in the notes, it is impossible for Sir Roland to take anything from the National Bank in the current situation anyway, so it is better to give these things to other people.

Leo was not too curious about what Sir Roland deposited in the National Bank, because judging from the current situation, he might not be able to take things from the bank, because the account related to Sir Roland in the National Bank must be He was being watched, and he went to get the things, which happened to allow the investigators of the espionage case to confirm their previous speculations.

If Leo was just alone, he wouldn't have any worries. It would be fine for him to leave the Kingdom of England and go to any country, but because the Nelsons were guaranteeing him, if something happened to him, Nelson and the others would definitely be involved. Nightingale, this is what he doesn't want to see, so he will not take away Sir Roland's things in the bank in a short time.

Now for Leo, the content in Sir Roland's notebook is more interesting to him. No matter how you look at it, the above things should be some problems that Sir Roland encountered in his research.

Although in order to keep the research content secret, Sir Roland must have disrupted all the research text and language and made them fragmented, but he can't achieve absolute fragmentation, he will always rearrange according to the rules of phrases and sentence patterns, otherwise No matter how much Leo knew about the ancient language, it was absolutely impossible to sort out the completely fragmented text and restore it into readable sentences.
