The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

According to various records, there are still more than 20 days before the accident. In order to avoid accidents, Leo and Sylvia let the servants and housekeepers who have lived in the villa for more than ten days stay temporarily when they rest at night. Go to the hotel in the nearby village and ask the butler to contact the construction company to build a building for servants next to the villa.

After that, Leo and Sylvia inspected the manor from the villa to the ruins of the church. Leo's spiritual web even penetrated to a depth of 100 meters underground, without finding any abnormalities.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia were surprised by this. After all, it was so easy for them to find clues, and Langnus would not have been troubled for many years because they couldn't solve the secrets here.

Now Leo and Sylvia can only wait for the abnormal state in the villa to be triggered before they may be able to find useful clues.

It's just that the two of them didn't wait in the villa for the past twenty days. They went to the forest farm at night to investigate the haunting. They just didn't know the reason. The so-called frequent haunts seemed to disappear, once. Neither appeared in front of the two, which made people suspect that the so-called haunted incident was actually caused by the lumberjack family who was in charge of the forest farm before.

However, this suspicion was soon withdrawn, because the object of suspicion was gone.

On the fifth day when Leo and Sylvia arrived at the manor, all seventeen members of the Vinolin family, the woodcutter family in charge of Leo’s forest farm, died overnight, and the death process was very normal. It's not normal at all.

For example, the patriarch of the Winolin family was choked to death by a fleshy bone stuck in his throat while drinking with his friend. His son was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the grass while he was peeing, and he slept at home. The little grandson was held to death by his mother too tightly, and that mother died of a sudden heart attack, which was inherited from her family, and her parents and many elders died. For such diseases.

The seventeen members of the Winolin family basically died at the same time, and the process of death was very natural, without any trace of murder, but this kind of extremely normal death revealed that even blind people were dead. It is not normal.

When the housekeeper reported the incident to Leo and Sylvia, they both thought about the haunting of the forest farm and the special power of the lumberjack family in this place. Their instincts told him about the death and the death of the Venolin family. These two things are related.

Although the Trub Mountain is very large, the human society at the foot of the mountain is very small. In less than half a day, the news that the Venolin family all died overnight quickly spread throughout the human society around the Trub Mountain.

For most people, this incident is just a horrible story, and it will be a post-dinner talk for a long time in the future, but for some people, such as the lumberjack family, this incident is a lethal thing. What they panicked, basically on the night when the news spread, all the lumberjack families in Trub Mountain gathered to discuss the matter and discuss whether they would be dangerous or not.

The content of this discussion was put on Leo’s desk by the butler the next day. Although the lumberjack family stated at the meeting that no one was allowed to leak the content of the meeting, there were always a few on hand. Some nervous loggers can't resist the temptation of money.

"Trub Contract?" Leo showed a little interested expression on his face after looking through the information.

Sylvia also put down the information in her hand, showing a little excitement, and asked: "Do you think it is an unknown new-born god, or something else?"

In this world, gods seem to like to sign various contracts with mankind. Almost all gods’ churches start with a contract signed between gods and the founder of the church, and every church’s holy place will store a copy of what they call. The covenant that is the cornerstone of the church.

The Lumberjack family in Trüb Mountain was originally just 30 ordinary foreign loggers. Like most other foreign loggers who plan to make a fortune in the Trub logging season, they were highly regarded by the owners of the local forest farm. For low-wage employment, bonuses are settled according to the amount of logging.

The advantage of this approach is that if the amount of logging is large, then the logger will earn more, and the owner of the forest farm can also earn a lot, but if the logger becomes sick and cannot complete the basic logging volume, then the whole logging season is likely to be lost. It's dry.

And every Trübbe mountain logging season is also a period when some diseases are prevalent, and you may be infected with the disease if you don't pay attention.

The 30 or so foreign loggers who formed the lumberjack family were infected with the disease, and more than 30 people were infected at the same time. In order to avoid transmission to others, the forest farm owner isolated all 30 people in a small forest area. , And is already preparing to recruit another group of people to replace these 30 people.

However, just when everyone thought that the 30-odd people were over, and the 30-odd people thought that they might have done it for nothing this time, they encountered a mysterious existence, and this mysterious existence signed a contract with more than 30 people. contract.

After that, the illnesses of these 30-odd people recovered almost overnight, and the epidemic diseases in the logging season will no longer affect them. They can even enter the deeper forest farms of Mount Trüb without being affected. Attacked by the ferocious beasts on Mount Trub, the most precious trees can be cut down.

Over time, these thirty-odd people became the leaders of the Trub Mountain loggers, and they gradually established their own families, and finally formed the current family of loggers.

However, after some accidents occurred in some lumberjack families, the number of lumberjack families has also become a dozen, and today another lumberjack family has disappeared.

What’s interesting is that the content of the conversations between these lumberjack family members is not difficult to hear. They don’t seem to be surprised by the Winorin family, because those lumberjack families that disappeared in the past are almost similar, and there may be some logging in the future. It is not necessarily true that the workers' families disappear in the same way.

In addition, these lumberjack families don’t seem to be particularly afraid of this strange way of death falling to them. They all seem to know the reason why the Venolin family died. The only thing they worry about is whether they will be affected in some way. .

In the end, these people discussed it all night and did not come up with a result. They can only wait for a while to see if things will pass like this.

Therefore, on the second day, all the lumberjack families announced that the tree farm in Trub Mountain had entered a rest period. After the rest period had passed, the felling could continue.

For this decision of the lumberjack family, everyone thought it was a bit absurd. Although there are similar recovery periods and rest periods in other mountain forest farms, this is the Trub Mountain. The growth rate of trees here does not require a rest period and a recovery period.

However, the decision made by the lumberjack family has nothing to do with other loggers. No one dares to violate this decision. As for the owner of the forest farm, he can only acquiesce to this practice, because unless it is to recruit loggers from other places, there is no local Any lumberjack union risked offending the family of lumberjacks and entered the forest farm to cut logs.

However, after the lumberjack family announced a rest period, these dozen lumberjack families sent some people to the Vinolin family's residence and Leo's forest farm respectively, seemingly wanting to find something there.

After receiving the news, Leo and Sylvia were also curious about the behavior of the woodcutter family, so they also went to the residence and wood farm of the Venolin family to see what the woodcutter family was doing.

Because the spiritual net is convenient for range monitoring, Leo chose a large forest farm. After arriving at the forest farm, he found a suitable location, spread the spiritual net to the entire forest farm, and monitor everything in the forest farm. movement.

Soon, the loggers who were sent here were caught by the spiritual network, and these loggers were busy with their own affairs, and did not find that their every move was under the surveillance of other people.

I saw these loggers scattered to various areas of the forest farm. They held a small wooden bowl full of water in their hands. There was a leaf floating in the wooden bowl. They seemed to be walking back and forth in an area aimlessly. In fact, they were Judging the direction by the point of the leaf tip.

However, this approach does not seem to have any effect. Not only did it not let them find what they were looking for, but instead allowed them to circle around in the forest farm.

After going around several circles, some people finally couldn't bear it. They stopped, then walked towards the lumberjack camp in the middle of the forest farm, and soon gathered in the camp.

A young lumberjack pinched the leaf out of the bowl and received it in his pocket. He muttered angrily: "Are the old men making a mistake? The Venolin family should put such important things in It’s only right to keep it at home, how could it be left in the forest farm?"

An older lumberjack next to him obviously doesn't have the confidence of a young lumberjack, and he dared not directly question the judgment of the family elder, so he just echoed: "Maybe our method is wrong, so there is no gain."

Upon hearing the words, the young lumberjack glanced at his companion for nothing, and ignored him.

Another high-end woodcutter said in a deep voice: "The judgment of the old men is not without basis. The haunted thing in this forest farm must be related to the Vinolin family. They can only rely on that thing if they want to do this kind of thing. And the accident happened suddenly, and they definitely didn't have time to take the thing away, so there is a good chance that the thing will be here."

The youngest lumberjack among them couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Do you know how something happened to the Venolin family?"

The high-grade woodcutter replied: "We don't know this, but the old man in the family infers that it is probably a violation of the contract." He paused, then continued: "Each family has a different contract. No one knows which contract the Winorin family has violated, and even the Winorin family may not know it."

"What do you mean by this?" the young lumberjack said puzzledly.

"I don't understand it yet, that is, the Winorin family themselves don't remember the restrictions in the contract they signed at the time." The young lumberjack said without any emotion: "The Winorin family has lost its taboo for a long time. It’s just a miracle that they can live up to now. They probably think the same way. They think that miracles can last forever, so they can do things so unrestricted. They can even use the Holy Deed to pretend to be a ghost to scare the forest owner. They don't die, who will die?"

Obviously, the relationship between the young woodcutter and the Venolin family is very poor, otherwise it would be impossible to say this kind of happy death after the Venolin family, which is also the lumberjack family, extinct.

When Leo heard this, he already understood what these people were looking for. That thing should be the contract signed by the ancestors of the Winorin family with Trub Mountain, and it is not difficult to hear from their conversation that in that contract There are some mysterious powers, and the things that haunted the forest farm before are probably the ghosts of this contract.

Leo couldn't help but be interested in this contract, but he was very clear that this contract was definitely not in the forest farm, because Leo used various methods on the forest farm a few days ago and checked it several times, but did not find the forest farm. There are any abnormal energy fluctuations in it, so he even hopes that Sylvia can gain something.

In addition, in addition to the contract, Leo is also interested in the leaves in the hands of these people. The leaves emit weak energy radiation. It can be judged from this that these leaves are from a tree that has nurtured extraordinary power. And judging from their actions, these leaves have a great relationship with the contract they signed, otherwise they would not be able to find the contract of the Venolin family through this seemingly useless method.

The loggers who were talking were obviously not interested in looking for the lost contract anymore. They each found a shady place, sprinkled some insect repellent powder around them, and lay on the ground to sleep. In the past, it didn't take long for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to sound one after another in this quiet camp.

In this case, Leo easily got a leaf from a lumberjack.

However, at the moment when he got the leaves, Leo was suddenly pulled into an illusion by a force. In the illusion, he saw a towering tree emitting colorful rays, and the colorfulness of this towering tree He seemed to see the image of the Black Forest in the light.

This illusion did not last long, and Leo's consciousness soon returned to his body, and the leaf in his hand had completely withered.

Leo thoughtfully took a leaf from another lumberjack, hoping to see the illusion through this leaf again, but unfortunately the leaf was held in his hand but nothing happened.

He tried it with the leaves of other lumberjacks, and the results were the same. Obviously, the appearance of the illusion could not be repeated.

Did not get the desired result, Leo was not disappointed. He took the leaves from the loggers and returned to the manor. After a while, Sylvia also returned to the manor and spoke in Sylvia. Before his discovery, he handed the leaves to Sylvia.
