The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The moment Leo and Sylvia saw the badge on the shield at first glance, they were so familiar with this badge. In order to avoid drawing attention, they didn't pay much attention to this badge. It was not until the others left that it was confirmed that the badge on the shield was indeed the badge of the Belmont family as they expected.

The Belmont family is a very old family that existed before the establishment of the French Empire, and with the change of the first, second, and third dynasties of France, the Belmont family also rose and fell to Sylvia The Belmont family of this generation is almost dying.

However, now in this different world, there is another Belmont family appearing here, and judging from the appearance of the shield, this family should have some size and power at the time, which is really surprising.

"Judging from the traces on the shield, it is either a trophy or a meritorious weapon." Leo took the shield off the wall, put it on the table, looked at it, and said.

I saw that this shield was made of a common ferroalloy in the past. This ferroalloy has been the most important raw material for ironware in the New World for a long time in the past. It was not until the emergence of steel that it replaced this ferroalloy.

There are various gaps and scratches on the surface of this shield. These marks are real and not faked for decoration, so this shield is a shield that has experienced a lot of battles.

Many of these damaged marks have been seriously damaged, which also makes it basically impossible for the shield to go on the battlefield again, and it is not difficult to see from the subtle parts of the shield that it has been carefully maintained, and it can be seen that the shield is held. The activist loves this shield very much, so Leo will judge that this shield is either a trophy or a meritorious weapon.

However, Leo feels that the possibility of loot is less, because judging from the damage marks on the shield, the owner of the shield is very good at using the shield. If you want to take the shield from such a shield warrior, it will only happen on the shield. Severe damage, fatal damage, but looking at all the damages of the shield, although a large number of damages have caused the shield structure to crack and make the shield close to the state of being scrapped, this scrap state is formed by the superposition of various damages. Yes, there are no real fatal injuries.

In other words, until the shield left the battlefield, none of the enemies encountered by the shield could break through the shield's defenses, and even cause great damage to the shield itself, so this shield was carefully maintained and placed in a prominent place. , More like a boast of one's own past achievements.

After hearing Renault’s judgment, Sylvia just glanced at the shield and came to a judgment similar to Leo’s. Then she looked at the shield twice with extreme concentration and found some clues. , Said: "I may know which Belmont family this shield belongs to."

Just like most aristocratic families, when the family declines, it is inevitable to divide the family, and as an ancient family with such a long inheritance, the Belmont family has divided up a lot of times, more than fifty tall. Times.

However, the vast majority of the separated Belmonta divisions quickly died out, and there were few that could survive successfully, at least not in the world of Vinylon.

"Are there any features on it?" Leo asked.

Sylvia pointed to the flowers in the vines on the edge of the badge on the shield and said: “The Belmont family has a habit of making great achievements or accomplishing a feat. Add a Hellflower to my family. The number of Hellflowers on the badge is seventeen, while the number of Hellflowers on the shield is only five."

Leo heard the words and carefully recalled the Belmont family history he had seen, and said: "If there are only five flowers, it should be from the middle to late Shimen period of the first dynasty. Because your family's Shimen period ended that year. During the war, the patriarch of Belmont made great contributions on the battlefield. He allowed the Belmont family to enter the center of power of the First French Dynasty. Therefore, the Belmont family at that time unanimously adopted a fire on the shield. Hell Flower, let the Hell Flower turn into six." As he said, he paused, and then said, "Is it Caius Belmont?"

Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, he was the only member of the tribe who successfully separated at the time."

Before the Belmont family made great military exploits in the war and chaos that ended in the Shimen period, and successfully squeezed into the circle of the first dynasty of France, and reached the first peak of power, the Belmont family as a whole was at the bottom of the valley, and the family was almost collapsed. At that time, the patriarch did his best to maintain the integrity of the family, and did not make the Belmont family really collapse, and successfully survived the most difficult period.

However, even so, some people in the Belmont family still chose to split their families, and the leader of this group was the brother of the patriarch at the time, Kaius Belmonte, and this Kaius Belmonte was also a very famous person at the time. Warrior, and has the title of shield bearer, it can be seen that Kaius Belmont has extraordinary skills in using shields, which coincides with the information contained in the shield in front of him.

There is very little information about Caius Belmonte, only a part of it is mentioned in the Belmont family history. After Caius Belmonte took his people to separate the family, there is no more information about him in the family history. Recorded, and there is no record of him in the various historical materials of Flange.

Including the Belmont family, everyone who knows Caius Belmont thinks that he should have encountered some accident and died in a corner of the world, because if he is still alive, then there will be a war in the future. , I must be able to see him, after all, he is such a famous fighter.

It now appears that Caius Belmonte may have come to this world with the Belmont family members he took away for some reason, and settled down, spreading branches and leaves.

Leo turned his head and looked at the wall where the shield was hung again. He saw an obvious shield imprint on the wall. Obviously the shield had been hung on this wall for a long time. It was probably the manor built. It's already hung up at the beginning.

Leo then reminded: "Checking the construction materials of this manor may be able to find some relevant clues."

Sylvia nodded when she heard the words, and while handing Leo the shield to let him hang it back, she picked up the bell on the table and shook it.

Soon the butler walked in, stood upright, and asked what he had ordered.

Sylvia ordered: "All the construction materials related to this manor, and even the materials related to this piece of land are brought over."

The housekeeper immediately responded when he heard the words, and then walked out of the room. After a short while, he was seen commanding a famous servant, bringing in large boxes that were half-person tall and placing them in the room. In a slightly empty place, fifteen boxes of similar size were finally arranged neatly.

"So much information?" Seeing so many boxes, Leo and Sylvia were also a little surprised.

The butler immediately explained that after he came here, he began to collect relevant information, because as a butler he needed to guide his employer’s preferences, and when he was in the Beluk City Manor, he felt that Leo and Sylvia He likes to study the things around him, so he feels that it is safe to collect this information, and now he just confirms his guess.

After listening to the butler's explanation, Leo and Sylvia also took a different look at the butler they hired, and also expressed that they were very satisfied with the other's approach and hoped that he could continue to play in the future.

After the butler took the people away and closed the door of the study, Leo and Sylvia each opened a box and looked through, sorted, and categorized the information inside.

Although the housekeeper has collected a lot of information, because most of the servants around him are illiterate servants, the information collected can not be sorted and classified. It is only neatly placed in the box, and the content is still very messy.

However, whether it was Leo or Sylvia's sorting out the information, it was just a matter of hand. In less than half an hour, all the materials in these fifteen boxes were sorted by them according to the time when the materials appeared.

Then, Sylvia and Leo each picked a box of materials and started reading.

Although there are a lot of materials, most of the materials are repetitive. It doesn’t take a lot of time to read through them. Leo’s reading speed is a bit faster. It only took an hour to read them thoroughly and read them all. Once again, and Sylvia took the same amount of time, except that she selected the materials that were not repeated and read them again.

Although these materials are abundant, they do not have the materials Leo and Sylvia want, because these materials are almost all materials after the religious war, not before the religious war.

According to the data, this manor already existed before the religious wars. The manor was divided into two parts, and one part was donated by the manor owner to a church of the gods named Gate Tower as a mission church.

Later, during the religious wars, the place was not affected, so the buildings were preserved intact. However, after the war, the Gate Tower Church was driven out of the land, and the former owner of the manor also left with the church.

Later, the newly established Haute Federation Army took over the manor. They destroyed the other half of the manor’s gate tower church church, while the manor villa was retained and later renovated slightly to become a sanatorium for government officials. , Until it was traded to Leo.

Although the changes related to the manor are very simple, almost without any ripples, the manor itself is not simple. Among the 15 boxes of information, at least 14 boxes are used to record the various disturbances in the manor. Accidents. After some of these accidents, even people in black robes from the Ministry of Education came here to investigate. The results were nothing. Therefore, the manor had ceased to be used as a sanatorium decades ago. Only some employees in charge of cleaning would Come here from time to time to clean up.

The contents of these accidents are almost the same. After a certain period of time, people living here will trigger a certain mysterious power. Under the action of this mysterious power, some inexplicable things will happen to the occupants.

For example, when you go up the stairs, there are obviously only a dozen steps, but you can't finish it no matter how you go, and the same goes for going down.

There is also a door that originally looked normal. After opening the door, it becomes a variety of places behind the door. The door opener will walk in uncontrollably. If you are lucky, it may only appear in the garden of the manor. Those with bad luck even appeared directly in the air. In the record, at least more than 20 people fell from a high altitude and fell to death because of this reason.

However, the interesting thing is that as long as the occupants leave the manor house before the limited time, and stay outside, even if they only stay at the door for a day, then return to the manor and the limited time will be reset.

"Gate Tower." After reading these materials, Sylvia said the name of a **** without even thinking about it, and Leo nodded in agreement.

The **** of Gate Tower is not a particularly famous **** in the New World, and there are not many believers, but unlike other complicated believers, some of the believers of Gate Tower are very firm, or even pious. These believers are Those thieves, thieves.

Because of this, Gate Tower Church has not been a mainstream church since the Old World, but it has always existed, and it can even be said to be a church with extremely ancient heritage.

In addition, I don’t know if it’s because most of the believers are thieves and thieves. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gate Tower Church has rarely had a fixed church site. Most of the high priests of Gate Tower are It is walking around and finding a place as a preaching place. It is precisely for this reason that even if the Gate Tower Church encounters some hostile church attacks, it has never suffered fatal damage.

However, one thing is certain, once the Gate Tower Church has established a fixed church, then that church will have an unusually important role for the Gate Tower Church. It can be seen from the few information on the Gate Tower Church. Once such a fixed church encounters an attack from an external enemy, the clergy of the Gate Tower Church will resist desperately and become a berserker-like existence, endlessly dying. Basically, even if the church of the Gate Tower Church is taken down and attacked Both will suffer heavy losses.

However, the problem is that the information that Leo and Sylvia have seen before indicate that the Gate Tower Church took the initiative to abandon this intact church. The newly formed Otter Federation took over here without a single soldier, and even forcibly overthrew the church. No one stopped it, and there was no retaliation afterwards. This kind of thing seemed very strange to the Otter Federation at the time. Even the black-robed people of the Ministry of Education and Culture conducted a special investigation and did not find out the cause.

However, although the investigation of the people in the black robe did not yield any results, one thing is certain that the various incidents in the manor villa should be related to the door tower church that was destroyed in the past. As for how it is related, there is no clear one so far. answer.
