Chapter 699: On the road

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the mysterious world under steampunk!
"Are Lisa all right?" Shelf looked slightly embarrassed after taking his gaze from Fatty Robert, and asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Alive." The woman responded angrily, apparently she was still annoyed by her experience.
Shelf smiled awkwardly without asking any more, and the atmosphere in the carriage returned to the original silence, but this time, there was a trace of inexplicable embarrassment in the atmosphere.
"My name is Rob!" Perhaps because of the embarrassing atmosphere in the compartment, as the car started slowly, Rob sat on the bed cross-legged and turned towards the woman, asking, "You haven't asked your name yet. ."
"Ylang of Corenza." The woman could not bear the situation inside the car, and followed the fat man's painting and said about her own identity.
Just like the national form of the Velun continent, in addition to the two great national forces of the French Empire and the French United Kingdom, there are also kingdoms composed of small city-states such as the Northern Hannossa Union, which barely survive.
Similarly, in addition to the three major powers, the Minsk continent also has some small city-state kingdoms that live at the junction of the three countries. In addition to some buffering functions, these city-state kingdoms also have the role of promoting the trade of large countries.
The Principality of Corenza is a small city-state at the junction of the Kingdom of Marais and the Kingdom of Deliyat. It is the main transit point for the goods of the two countries. Most of the people living there are mixed races from the two kingdoms of North and South, and rule the Grand Duke In both kingdoms, there is a duke status, so people in the Principality of Corenza are born with both nationalities.
Due to the particularity of their identity, most of the Corenza people live on businessmen, so the Corenza people are also particularly wealthy.
Perhaps it was because it was too rich. The previous generations of Grand Duke Corense felt very scared, when they were separated by the two countries as a piece of fat, so he found a reason to pay each country a certain amount. In fact, the commercial tax can be said to be a protection fee, so that the Principality of Corenza can always maintain stability and stability under the turbulent political relations between North and South.
After hearing that Ylang was from Corense, neither Robert nor Shelf showed a surprised look. In fact, one in ten of the counties and provinces on the northern border of the Kingdom of Marais have Corense origin, Or Corenza's native place.
However, after hearing the introduction of the other party, Leo felt that the name was a little familiar, and thought about it quietly, asked Zhao Yilan: "Are you a Yilan Sassa bachelor who wrote the Weilun Five Age hypothesis?"
Perhaps because the two people, Shelf and Robert, attracted most of the attention, Yilan had forgotten Leo's existence just now. Until Leo spoke now, she suddenly realized that she was lying on the bunk opposite her. Stranger.
After being aware of Leo’s existence, she couldn’t help but wonder, because although the movements and words of the three were not very big, it was enough to make people see that there was something wrong, but the person opposite did not have any. The unusual behavior, as if the matter just now was just an ordinary thing, made her wonder about her identity and forgot to answer Leo's inquiry for a moment.
It wasn't until Leo asked the second time that Ylang responded and quickly denied: "No, no! That book wasn't written by me." But soon she turned around and said, "That book is Written by my mother, my mother is Ylang Saza."
"Oh!" Leo responded briefly, and lost the idea of ​​talking to the other party.
The reason why Leo suddenly mentioned the person Ylang Sasah is mainly because of a historical hypothesis published by her. This hypothesis was published in an internal journal of the Institute of Foreign Affairs, and the article written in that journal They are all related to the prehistoric ruins excavated from various places in the Velen world, except that others are writing about a single relic study. Only Yilan Saza said that all the ruins are integrated together, and a fifth era is created. Hypothesis.
In the hypothesis, she believes that the Weilun world has experienced five epochs for it. The epoch at the beginning was the era of chaos, then the era of the wasteland, then the era of the deep sea, then the era of the gods, and finally the steam. era.
Leo is unclear as to whether this five-epoch hypothesis is correct, but up to now, according to what he knows, several of the eras mentioned in the five-epoch hypothesis are confirmed, and he would like to know how the other party inferred Out of these eras.
In addition, there is one thing mentioned at the end of that hypothesis, that is, the human beings living in the Velon world are not living creatures evolved in the Velon world, but alien creatures. They are aliens from the stars in the sky.
It is for this reason that Leo feels a little curious about Yilan Sassa.
"Are you Ms. Saza's daughter?" After hearing Ylang Saza's name, Fatty Robert looked at the woman opposite with some surprise. Obviously Ylang Saza's relationship with the black market was unusual.
"Who are you?" Seeing the fat man's reaction, Yilan felt that this person and his mother might know each other and couldn't help but question.
"I'm Robert Chris Jr., the person in charge of the black market in Dry Steel City." Fatty Robert introduced himself with a smile.
"Black market!" Yilan froze for a moment, and then his face became a bit gloomy and disgusted, and then very coldly toward the fat man, said, "Please don't talk to me anymore, I want to read."
After speaking, it wasn't about Robber's reaction. He directly picked up a book and put it in front of him. He didn't know whether he was actually reading or pretending to read.
The other side suddenly turned his face, making the fat man Robert caught off guard, and his blank face showed that he didn't understand what was going on.
Just when Robert wanted to open an inquiry, the opposite Scherf said lazily: "The Faris incident."
After Robert heard the words, his face was relieved, and he swallowed the words that he was going to ask.
Leo, who was an observer, quickly found some information about the Pharisee incident, and understood why Ylang had such an attitude.
Pharis is a small town on the border of Marais and Savile, but it is famous for the remains of a prehistoric civilization found in the wasteland outside the city. It was discovered by the First Public College of the Kingdom of Marais and was in charge of excavation. .
It’s just that when the first public college just started digging, it was stopped because someone took out the deed of the land, indicating that the land is private land, and everything in the land is private goods, and then The academics and workers responsible for excavation at that time were all expelled.
The scholars of the First Public College will naturally not let this prehistoric ruin fall into private hands, so they will mobilize their own forces and let the official intervene in order to revoke the ownership of this private land. No matter how bad it is, the ruins must be excavated. The power is given to the college.
This incident was very turbulent at the time, because the scholars' requirements violated the sacred and inviolable principle of private property in Article 9 of the First Constitution of the Kingdom. Once the decision to revoke the ownership of private land, then this Constitution as the foundation of the Kingdom will also be Failure, the kingdom foundation will be shaken.
Therefore, the whole kingdom paid special attention to this matter at that time, and various discussions were held in large and small councils around the kingdom.
However, something unexpected happened in the end. When the heat reached its peak, the First Academy began to submit the claim to the Supreme Court of the Kingdom, but the prosecutor of the Supreme Court found that the private land recorded in the claim The contract does not exist. In the courage of the kingdom, there is no such contract at all. When they go to the person who claims to be the owner of the land, they find that this person does not exist.
At this time, everyone noticed that something was wrong, and turned their attention from the first college’s request for advice to the ruins in the so-called private land. Only then did they find that the ruins had been treated as extremely violent. The way was thoroughly excavated, all the relics that were considered to be of little value were removed, and most of the remaining relics were destroyed. It can be said that this relic has completely flown.
At this time, everyone knew that the First Public College had been fooled by others. It was also because of this that the First Public College had become the laughing stock of the people of the Kingdom for a long time, and its reputation plummeted. It has not recovered until now.
Who is the person who made this matter? The official Maris Kingdom has not yet investigated it, but in the dark world, who did this thing is almost an open secret, because just after the incident In the first half of the month, the black market took out a batch of ancient objects produced in the remains of Faris for auction. Although the black market claims to be entrusted by someone, in fact, as long as someone with a little brain knows, this is just an excuse for the black market Well, the black market is another protagonist of the Faris incident.
The vast majority of the first public school people do not know the role of the black market in this matter, but dark world organizations like libraries can naturally receive all kinds of information and intelligence. Bachelors sitting on the opposite side of Ylang The clothing has the obvious characteristics of the first public college, so she will be reasonable to the attitude of the fat man who is a black market manager.
The train is running slowly on the track, although the speed is more than half slower than that of the steam train, but I don’t know if it is the ancient with the addition of special devices, the vibration of the car is much smaller, plus some added in the car partition The noise-reducing cork chips make the interior of the car extremely quiet.
A little bit of time passed, Leo soon finished reading the ancient book in his hand, put it on the side table, and then lay on the bed, entered the deep consciousness, and organized, summarized, and created all the things he had mastered as usual. ability.
At this time, Ylang couldn't help but look at the ancient book Leo placed on the table. She could see that the book's decoration should be from the Kingdom of Savile, and she could also see that the ancient book should be some years old. It made her wonder what was recorded in this ancient book.
The Kingdom of Savile is recognized as the country with the most ancient remains in the entire Velun world. It is no exaggeration to pick up a stone in a desert in the Kingdom of Savile. The stone may be from a prehistoric civilization or other building. article.
It is also because of the many ancient ruins of the Savile Kingdom, so many people suspect that the ancient tribes of the Savile Kingdom may be the survivors of prehistoric civilization, and those survivors are more likely to record things about prehistoric civilization.
Although scholars from various countries want to study clues related to prehistoric civilization through the records left by the various tribes of the Savile Kingdom, the traditional power of the Savile Kingdom is very strong, coupled with the strength of the Church of the Lord of Everything There is no way to access any truly valuable information.
There is now a book suspected of the ancient books of the tribe of the Savile Kingdom in front of me. Ylang, a researcher of ancient remains, was naturally itchy and hesitated for a long time before breaking the silence for so long before, asking Leo: "Can I read this book?"
Leo did not answer, but just pointed to the book on the table and agreed.
Yilan couldn’t wait to pick up the book and read it seriously, because the book was written in the ancient language of the Savile tribe, which contained a lot of dialects and spoken grammar of the Savile tribe, plus the manuscript, so this This book is a bit difficult for her, and the same paragraph needs to be read many times.
However, while feeling that this book is a bit difficult, she also admires Leo’s knowledge very much, because she just saw Leo reading this book as easily as an ordinary best seller, which is undoubtedly simple. On behalf of his extraordinary knowledge.
After turning over a dozen pages, I found that most of the content in this book is only recording the daily things of the tribe who passed the card~EbookFREE.me~Yalan lost his interest in this book and re-opened the book Put it back on the table.
After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but be curious and asked Leo: "Are you a linguistics instructor in which college?"
Leo didn’t answer, but the fat man Robert at the top couldn’t help but say for Leo:
He’s Mr. Leo Dodd. If you know about the dark world, you should be until he may be a tower. The last heir to wizard knowledge."
"High tower wizard?" Yilan's face was shocked. She knew the position of the high tower wizard in the dark world, and also knew that the high tower wizard represented the strength of the near god, and there was an inheritance of the high tower wizard in front of her. In front of herself, this shocked her and was also unbelievable.
However, beyond shock, she couldn't help but become interested in Leo, because in the library's research on prehistoric civilizations, more than one person had guessed that the tower wizards may be the inheritors of prehistoric civilization knowledge, and their origins are even better than gods. Farther away.
So the tower wizards have powerful powers like gods, but they have not become gods, because they know what the essence of gods is, and they do not want to be such a non-human being.
