The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Two days ago, Sylvia set up her own intelligence network, and today she has gained a harvest. She looked at the intelligence data collected by her men, handed the part of the lumberjack family to Leo, and asked : "Do you need to help them?"

　　Sylvia attaches great importance to intelligence collection, so on the first day he came to the manor, he started to establish an intelligence network in nearby towns.

If it were in normal times, she might take the high-level route like the city of Beluk and build a complete intelligence system from top to bottom, but this does not work in the towns surrounding Trub Mountain, which are all small towns. Except for a few department officials directly under the capital, the highest status is only some village chiefs and town chiefs, and there is no high-level route for her to follow.

　　 So she can only choose to start with the small forces at the bottom and spread out a market intelligence network.

　　 If it was before, she might need to spend some time and experience to complete this thing, but now her ability can easily solve some key problems, such as loyalty and ability.

Through the abyss spell inherited from the abyss dragon, she easily used her power to corrupt and control the small power leaders in several surrounding towns, and then through these influential bottom bosses, all kinds of other people would not care. All kinds of intelligence information are collected, and she can easily find out the intelligence information she wants from these trivial little information.

For example, this time the information about what other loggers' families plan to do while taking advantage of the instability within the Rufu family comes from the kitchen purchases of a logger family that has a hostile relationship with the Rufu family. Judging from the content on the purchase list , Obviously this family is banqueting guests, and coupled with the carriage travel records of other lumberjack families, it is not difficult to guess what these lumberjack families are going to do.

After taking a look at the intelligence, Leo said: "No need, they shouldn't really kill the Rufu family, at most they will only weaken the Rufu family's strength, if they can really destroy others through their own hands. If the family came to obtain the opponent’s Karita demon contract, there would not be so many lumberjack families now. Moreover, a Rufu family with greatly reduced strength and unstable internally is more suitable to be our collaborator, only Only then will he be willing to trade all the secrets of the lumberjack family."

　　 Sylvia nodded, she also had the same thoughts as Leo, and she even thought more radically than Leo.

In her plan, she intends to find opportunities to encourage those lumberjack families to kill the Rufu family. Even if the encouragement is unsuccessful, the power of the abyss can also influence the minds of these people when necessary and make them make wrong decisions. .

At that time, she and Leo only need to rescue and protect the Ruf family when only Baine is left. By then, the family will be ruined, and Baine, who has no support, can only rely on them, not to mention logging. The secret of the Gong family, even the Karita demon contract belonging to the Rufu family will be given with both hands.

However, after serious consideration, she still feels that Leo's Bystander approach is more secure, because she is not sure whether her actions will trigger the taboo rules of the Karita Demon Contract, in case she acts as an indirect accomplice. It touched the Rufu's Karita magic contract and made her the target of the attack, and things were a little troublesome.

Although she believes that her current power will definitely not be harmed by the normal Karita Demon Contract, but the current Karita Demon Contract is an abnormal contract. Who can guarantee that it is nothing more dangerous and deadly? Strength, now she and Leo have time, they can come slowly, don't rush for a while.

Sylvia put the information of the lumberjack family aside, and then quickly flipped through the information. Suddenly she found an interesting thing in a piece of information, so she picked it out and handed it to Leo. Said: "Look at this piece of information, I think it's very interesting!"

　　 Leo took the information and looked at it, and his face also showed thoughtfulness.

　　 The content of the information is very simple, that is, when two drunks drank in the tavern, they brag about how great their ancestors were and how glorious their family was in the past.

If only this kind of drunken talk and boasting would not attract the attention of Leo and Sylvia, what really attracted the attention of the two was that one of the alcoholic boasted about his ancestors. He mentioned that his ancestors came from A powerful empire of the famous Falim. Under the leadership of a monarch named Knight King, this empire unified the entire continent and became the only country on that continent.

　　 After this drunkard said these words, he was naturally ridiculed by his drunkard companions and other people in the tavern, because as we all know, neither the Old World nor the New World has ever seen an empire that can unify the entire continent.

　　 Although there have been several powerful empires in the history of the Old Continent, those empires are only empires of a region, not the empires of the entire continent.

　　 As for the New World, there was indeed a unified regime in the early migration period, but that regime was not an empire, but an alliance, and it was torn apart in less than a year.

The ridiculed drunkard was still not convinced, and then he said a lot about the empire, as if the empire really existed in this world, but no one in the tavern took it seriously, just treated it as a drunk. That's crazy.

　　 But these contents were heard by a small gangster in the tavern at the time. He found it interesting, so he collected it, gave it to his head, and finally came to Sylvia's desk.

These drunken words that seem to be crazy talk to other people are completely different to Leo and Sylvia, because the word Farim is the local Tevez pronunciation of the Haute Federation, if Translating this pronunciation into another language that Leo and Sylvia are familiar with, the pronunciation of the word Farim becomes Flange.

If it's just a similar word, Leo and Sylvia don't need to pay too much attention, but afterwards, the empire that unified the entire continent, the knight king who completed this great cause, and the various details of the empire society, are all. It shows that the Falim mentioned by the drunk who seems crazy talking is Fran, which means that the drunk’s ancestors came from the Fran empire in the world of Velen.

　　 "Investigate his origin." Leo also got some interest and said.

　　 Although the area around Trub Mountain is very large, the population is small, and there are few towns. It is very simple to inquire about a person.

　　 After Sylvia's order was issued, relevant information was handed in that afternoon.

　　 "This person is not easy." Sylvia said in surprise after reading the information.

Leo also took the information over and looked at it. The content of the information is not very much. It only shows that the drunkard lives in the Travert Manor at the foot of the Trub Mountain, and there are very tight guards around the manor. It looks like that drunkard. Has a not low identity.

　　Because the manor is tightly guarded, and the local police officers directly found the leader of the local gangsters to issue a warning, the low-level gangsters were unable to investigate more intelligence.

　　 Seeing this, Leo thought for a while, and then shook the bell on the table. After a while, he saw the butler walk in from outside and said, "Are there any orders? Sir."

　　 Leo asked, "Do you know Travert Manor?"

　　 "Yes, sir." The butler replied both.

　　 Leo asked again: "Who is the owner of that manor?"

　　 The butler thought for a while and said, "The owner of that manor is the Duke of Peyrin from the Kingdom of Teresa, but the second son of the Duke of Peyrin who lives there now."

　　 "The Kingdom of Teresa?" Leo was stunned, thought for a moment, and confirmed: "Is it the Kingdom of Teresa in the Old World?"

　　 "Yes." The butler nodded.

　　 Sylvia wondered: "Why would the duke of the Old World Kingdom have a manor property in the Otter Federation of the New World?"

The butler is also very knowledgeable, and quickly explained: "When the Federation was founded, the Kingdom of Teresa had given a lot of help to the Federation, so after the founding of the Federation, the Federation gave back a lot of things to the Kingdom of Teresa. There is land. The land of Travert Manor was one of the lands gifted to the Kingdom of Teresa. Later, the land was given to the Duke of Perrin by the Queen of Teresa, and the Duke of Perrin built a manor there for Serving as a place of exile for members of the duke’s family."

　　 Leo muttered, "That means the second son of Duke Perrin who lives there is an exiled person."

　　 Sylvia asked: "What was the reason he was exiled."

　　 The butler shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but you can ask Mr. Cardi. He may know some news when he works in the Secret Service."

Seeing nothing to ask, Leo signaled that the butler could leave, and then he called Kadi again, but apparently the butler overestimated Kadi's knowledge reserves, let alone what happened in Teresa Kingdom. , Even if the owner of Travert Manor is a foreigner, it is not clear.

Leo could only ask the butler to find information about Teresa Kingdom as much as possible, because he and Sylvia suspected that the Belmont family here might have moved to Teresa Kingdom now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why. Then the distant Kingdom of Theresa will be concerned about the political changes in the hinterland of the New World, and it is difficult to explain why the Duke of Perrin wanted to build a manor at the foot of the Trub Mountain as a place of exile for family members.

Because the Kingdom of Teresa played a very important role at the beginning of the establishment of the Otter Federation, even if the Kingdom of Teresa and the Otter Federation did not have any trade and political exchanges, the Otter Federation still had a great deal with the Kingdom of Teresa. Kindly, there are a lot of books about Teresa Kingdom in the Federation, so the process of collecting information by the butler is also very smooth.

Regarding the information about the Kingdom of Teresa, Leo only read from some miscellaneous books before. Those miscellaneous books are some books related to philosophy passed down from the Kingdom of Teresa. Judging from the content of the book, the Kingdom of Teresa should be A country with a strong cultural and academic atmosphere.

However, when Leo looked through the various materials about The Kingdom of Teresa collected by the butler, he realized that his conjecture was incomplete. The Kingdom of Teresa was indeed a country with a strong cultural and academic atmosphere. The Old World The most famous academic city is located in the Kingdom of Teresa, but the Kingdom of Teresa is actually extremely martial. Except for a few nobles in the country, all the nobles were finally knighted because of some academic achievements. They are all military nobles.

There is even a very strict knighthood succession bill in the country, that is, only the descendants of nobles with certain merits are eligible to inherit the knighthood. Once there is no suitable heir, the knighthood will be cancelled, even if it is not the duke. exception.

　　 However, the Kingdom of Teresa itself does not have any wars to fight, and the surrounding countries are also subordinate countries that have been submitted. Therefore, to solve this problem, the Kingdom of Teresa has formed a very unique mercenary military merit exchange system.

The most indispensable thing in the Old Continent is war, so mercenaries are always the most in-demand resource. The Kingdom of Teresa allows domestic nobles without military merits to privately raise a certain number of mercenaries, then accept employment from other countries, join the war, and recognize The military merits made during the period of his employment can also be exchanged for military merits of the Kingdom of Teresa according to a certain proportion. Once the merits are exchanged, the nobleman will automatically become a military meritorious and must disband his private mercenaries. , Forever ending its status as a mercenary.

This approach has made up for the loopholes in the law of succession to the title of Teresa Kingdom, and also made the nobles within the kingdom always be elitist, and the descendants of the nobles who did not get the right to inherit also have an extra way out. UU看书www.uukanshu . Most of them will leave the Kingdom of Teresa after the succession rights are determined, and choose to take the path of mercenary military service and obtain aristocratic status in other countries. Of course, there are some who are unwilling to endure hardships, and most of them will be deported to some remote places to avoid them. Make trouble at the noble inheritance ceremony.

　　 So the person in Travert Manor is probably a deportee who has failed the competition for inheritance and is unwilling to take the risk and endure hardship.

In addition, the royal emblem of the Kingdom of Teresa is very interesting. Unlike the royal emblems of many countries, the emblem of the royal family of the Kingdom of Teresa is not some kind of legendary beast or beast, but a flower named holy. The holy flower has never been seen before, like a plant that does not belong to this world.

However, whether it was Leo or Sylvia, after seeing the flower on the Theresa royal coat of arms, they recognized at first sight that this flower was a seven-petal flower commonly seen in the French Empire, although it was not a flange. The national flower, but it is no different from the French national flower.

　　 "When we have time, we might be able to send him an invitation." Leo suggested.

　　 Sylvia nodded and agreed: "Yes, I also want to see if he is related to the Belmont family, or if they are just ordinary people who came to this world with the tower wizard."

　　 Leo smiled and said, "If it is what we think, then we might have to travel a long distance."
