"Do you know where the Renault's hometown is?" Leo asked Silvia, who was still working on the detector, when he couldn't find the information he wanted.
"Does it matter to ask?" Sylvia looked at Leo somewhat puzzled and said, "Of course they are from the Northland Ice Sheet."
"I know they are from the Northland Ice Sheet," Leo added to see Sylvia knowing that he was wrong. "I want to ask where is the Northland Ice Sheet?"
Sylvia was preparing to answer Leo’s question, but after the question passed through her mind, she found that she could not find the answer.
The Reynolds of Deliyat come from the Velen continent's northern ice sheet. This is a thing known to the entire Velon world, but the weird thing is that everyone will never know more about the Reynolds, Hill The documents that Via had seen before did not mention the hometown of the Renault people, as if the Renault people suddenly appeared in this world, as if they suddenly died.
"If you want to investigate the information of the Renault people, the Royal Academy of France should have. They have specially revised a history of the Northland tribes. However, for some political reasons, this book has not been published, but only a few sets have been printed and stored in the Royal Inside the college and the royal library." Sylvia thought for a moment, gave advice, and then asked: "Why suddenly ask the hometown of the Renault people? Do they have any questions?"
"It's a problem." Leo nodded, pointing to the universal recorder and the detector on his wrist, and said, "I just checked the original data in the detector through this thing and found that the ancestors of the Renault people knew How to use this device from the starry sky completely, so the depraved people must have systematically touched the items left by the starry sky, and those items are also likely to be in the hometown of the Renault people."
"They might have brought things here too?" Sylvia questioned and lined up the detector, saying, "Don't they bring them too?"
"It's true that such small things can be taken away, but..." Leo pointed to the material that recorded the metal blocks at the bottom of the lake. "They should not be able to take away things as big as the bottom of the Belem Ice Lake."
Sylvia was not refuting Leo’s idea, and instead turned the topic back, saying:
When we return to Velen, we can go to the Imperial Capital, and I happen to have some family things to get back.
Leo nodded after listening. In fact, before that, they mentioned that after returning to the Weilun mainland, they had to go south from that route and where to go.
If you want to be safe, you will naturally travel west from the north, walk through the Hannosa Union, then pass the ruins of Milia, and then look through the Dibia Mountains or take a boat down the coast to return to the United Kingdom.
However, Sylvia denied this safe road, but decided to cross the French Empire on the east coast and take this dangerous road.
You should know that whether it is Sylvia Belmont or Earl of Maupassant is in the top ten in the ranking of wanted criminals in the French Empire. Whether it is the official of the French Empire or the people, there are countless people who want to catch her and go. The French Empire's route to the south is tantamount to finding its own way.
However, when Sylvia made a decision, Leo did not dissuade her. He did not know why Sylvia chose this path, but he knew that there was no need to ask more, just that he would communicate with She walks together.
It now appears that Sylvia's decision to go to the French Empire should be related to her family's belongings.
On that day, the political situation on the Weilun mainland suddenly changed. The sudden establishment of the United Kingdom not only caught the French Empire by surprise, but even some people within the United Kingdom were completely fooled. Sylvia was one of them.
It is for this reason that Sylvia has not been able to transfer his family’s property and objects, making them all seized by the French Empire. Later, these things, including the Belmont Estate, were auctioned and all items were lost. .
Although Sylvia retrieved most of the family's items through some means, there are still many important things that are still in the hands of others. This has become a thorn in her heart, and she decided to look for it anyway. Opportunity to pull out this thorn, and Leo's counterpart is a good opportunity.
Leo knew Sylvia's ideas very well, so he did not persuade Sylvia.
The two didn't talk about what they had to do after meeting Wei Lun mainland, but went back to the Belem Ice Lake and studied the information carefully. When they felt that it was almost the same, they decided to go to the site to check. Also test this detector.
When they learned that the two were going to survey the huge metal ruins in the waters of Belém, the academic supervisor in the camp naturally objected. The reason for his objection was not to worry about what the two had surveyed, but now it was the coldest. In the winter, the divers they recruited were unable to launch in such a cold season, and they could not play any reconnaissance role there.
However, after Leo and Sylvia showed the pass of the Queen of Snow, the academic supervisor had no way to stop the two, but sent a recruited diver as a guide to lead them to the water ruins they built. Channel.
After that, the three of them rode north pack animals towards the location of the passage.
On the way, Leo also asked the diver guide about the remains in the water, but he did not get any useful information, not because the diver wanted to keep secrets, but because the diver was also recruited this summer. Yes, after coming here, I have performed three tasks in total, and those three tasks are all search tasks in other waters, and have not touched the remains of metal blocks in that water.
Like all the divers recruited here, this young man named Taranc is also a family member. In fact, nearly half of the divers here are of the same ethnicity in the village where Taranc is located. Almost all the people in their village are dependents.
Their tribe was originally a small tribe that lived on the east coast of Savile, because the ancestor of the tribe believed in an evil spirit in the water, and the bloodline was infected, and their entire tribe became the clan of the evil god.
It was just that the evil spirit was eventually consulted by the Church of the Lord of All Things, and the evil spirit was also killed. Their tribe was even wanted by the Savile Church and the official, so that they had to escape from Savile and then freeze in the northern ice field. The soil settled down and still made a living by fishing.
At the beginning, Dailyat also had a very strong attitude of repulsion to the clan, like the countries in the south, so their tribe had to hide their true identity. Although most of them will encounter some body mutations in adulthood, but these The mutations are all recessive, such as webbed feet, gills behind the ears, etc. These invisible mutations will not only affect their lives, but will facilitate them to go fishing.
Only a small part of the body will undergo large-scale mutations, such as the growth of scales, the head is completely deformed, and it becomes a monster of half human and half fish. Most of these people will have mental disorders and other problems with the mutation of the body. They will not be the others in Shanghai, but will enter the sea one day and eventually disappear from the eyes of the tribe.
Some people say that all the people who became fishmen died in the sea, but some people said that they met some fishermen when they went fishing, and these people seem to have built a submarine village in the sea.
Later, Leah Vinistan became the Queen of Deliyat, and the entire Deliyat became a refuge for the clan, and their tribes were truly stable. The people in their tribes went to sea in addition to inheriting their family business. In addition to fish, more of them joined Deliyat’s navy, and some of them became officers because of their merits.
Taranc originally wanted to join Deliyat's navy, but because of his strong cold resistance and deep diving ability, he was assigned to Belem Ice Lake and became one of the employed divers.
Although he lost his way to relying on the army to improve his social status, he also received monetary compensation. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a newcomer who has been on several missions for several months. His salary has been the salary of other soldiers of the same family for several years. If he can find any prehistoric civilization at the bottom of the lake, then the reward he received is enough to let him live a very rich life.
So he will do everything possible to take the task from the scholars. Like this post-winter task, the veteran here will not take it, because this task is very dangerous, and the salary will not be higher than the ordinary task. Many, only new talents like him will behave so enthusiastically.
Perhaps it was because no one in the camp wanted to talk to him. When he heard some questions about the prehistoric ruins at the bottom of the Belem Ice Lake in Leo, he also had no secret ideas and kept talking about everything he knew. It was said one by one.
What he said was not exactly the same as what Leo and Sylvia had seen on the materials. There were many secrets in the conversation between divers.
For example, a diver once saw the metal ruins at the bottom of the lake shining on one night. He thought this might be an opportunity, so he dived into the ice lake without notifying the camp.
As a result, after approaching the metal ruins, he heard an unknown voice. According to his description, this voice was very loud and terrible, like a murmur from the abyss, and even covering his ears could not stop him from hearing. This voice.
At that time, he was very afraid that he did not continue to approach the metal ruins, and then returned to the camp, and reported the matter to the camp scholars.
But after the camp scholar heard the report, he immediately took the person to the metal ruins. As a result, he heard nothing, so the scholar thought that the diver was lying and wanted to use this to deceive the bonus.
However, after the third day, the diver suddenly experienced a rapid mutation while performing the mission. The whole person was completely family-oriented, turned into a pair of algae-like monsters, and attacked other people like crazy, and was eventually attacked by the troops in the camp. Wiped out.
The scholars in the camp did not believe that the sudden mutation of this diver was due to the events of the previous two days, but the divers in the camp thought that this matter was related, so as long as they saw the metal remains in the water glow afterwards, all Divers will not go into the water, and even with an excessive reward and a strong military order, no one will step into the Belem Ice Lake.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, or that Taranque’s crow mouth was working. When the three of them came to the entrance of the channel near the underwater metal ruins, they found a burst of light transmitted through the ice.
"Damn! Sorry, Mr. Leo, I can't get into the water later." The moment the light appeared, Taranc immediately said nervously to Leo, his tone very serious.
"Relax, I didn't intend to let you go into the water from the beginning." Leo looked at the light that was transmitted from under the ice and immediately understood what was going on. He reached out and patted Taranque's stiff shoulders. Signaled him not to be nervous.
In fact, after referring to the diver’s encounter just now, Taranque vaguely guessed the situation. The so-called light is actually that the underwater chamber is emitting a signal wave, and this signal wave is full of various kinds in the universe. This kind of ray environment will be hidden, showing a state that is invisible to the naked eye, but in the environment full of special energy in the Velon world, it becomes a light wave state.
And the so-called abyss murmur that the diver heard was actually just the noise generated by the friction between the signal wave and the environmental energy. Most people cannot hear this subtle noise, and some family members will have special hearing, and the noise is in the water wave. Under the effect of amplifying it, it is still spread by vibration. Even if you cover your ears, you cannot stop this vibration.
As for the diver's sudden change~EbookFREE.me~ It should be that this murmur caused a blow to his will, and the blood of the clan family took the opportunity to counterattack and take the initiative, eventually making him mutated into a completely clan family.
Although Leo had learned the details of the phenomenon that divers called the horror light, he did not explain to Taranke, because from the present state of Taranke, any explanation was futile.
So, after arriving at the location, he didn’t even let Taranc follow him into the channel, but ordered Taranc to look at the pack animal at the entrance of the channel, and then he and Sylvia entered the specialty. A sewer channel dug for winter diving exploration.
The channel is located about 500 meters away from the lake. The interior is very narrow and can only accommodate two people in parallel. The whole channel is inclined downward and the is not very large. It has reached about one hundred meters and reached the end of the waterway. And this waterway will extend downwards with a steeper until it reaches below the ice layer on the lake.
Standing by the water, Leo pulled out the detector and dropped it directly into the water, then turned on the universal recorder, controlled the detector towards the lake, and also used a holographic imaging system to let a clear underwater scene appear In front of the two.
