The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The next morning, the owner of the Sanctuary sent someone to inform the departure time. Leo and Sylvia cleaned up in the room a bit. When they came out, Penny and Joanne, who had packed their luggage, were also standing there. At the door, the blindness of Joan at this time seemed to have become more serious, and Petunia's support was needed to walk normally.

　　 Seeing this, Leo and Sylvia didn't say anything, and led them to the simple dock area.

　　 Although it was early morning, the dock was already crowded with people. Many ships that docked yesterday also sailed at this time. Those who stayed temporarily for one night were all concentrated on the dock waiting to board the ship.

However, some shipowners found that a few people were missing when they counted the number of people. After confirming that those people were not in the hotel they arranged, they did not say anything more. They just reported to the security management department of the wharf town. Let the remaining people board the ship directly, without further searching and rescue.

For boat owners who often run this river and people living in the swamp, disappearances are common things, because the Liszt Marsh is very large, and criminals and fugitives from other countries do not have enough money and resources. Before entering the city of Nice to hide, they would choose to hide in the Liszt Marsh.

Although the Port of Sainte-Pelia has control of the Liszt Marsh, it does not mean that it really controls the entire marsh. In fact, the Port of Sainte-Pelia only controls the area where many marsh villages and towns have been built on both sides of the Liszt River. But the deeper part of the swamp is no longer under their control. Those who really control those places are the criminals and fugitives from the old and new continents.

It is almost certain that the people who disappeared in the marshes and surrounding areas were abducted by people from the sinful areas deep in the marshes. Not only the shipowners could not solve this problem, but even the locals could not. solve.

In fact, as long as the missing people obey the shipowner’s words, there will be nothing wrong with staying in the hotel at night, because those from the criminal area and the locals have an unwritten rule that any crime can only be on the street and cannot enter. House, those criminals also acquiesce to this rule and will not break it, because if it really annoys the port of Sainte-Pelia, let it clean the swamp and stop supplying it, those who are entrenched in the depths of the swamp The criminals will never get better.

However, there is no need to worry about the safety of those abducted. It will not be long before a letter of extortion will be sent to the families of those abductees, even if the family members of those abducted cannot take out the ransom, or the abducted has no family members. , It doesn’t matter. In the end, those people will stay in the depths of the swamp and become a member of the evil zone. Things like torn tickets rarely happen, because in the depths of the swamp, population is also a very important resource and even more important than money. Important.

　　 When a group of people came to the pier and waited to board the boat, a young couple on the same boat came up abruptly and thanked Penny, making Penny somehow not knowing how to respond.

It turned out that the couple also left the hotel last night and were going to take a stroll in this marina town. They didn’t know that the shops in the town were closed after nightfall and there were no people on the street. They met when they were about to return. When I arrived at the kidnappers, Penny was a little hungry at the time and wanted to find a restaurant nearby. No matter how bad she was, she was ready to pick up her prey in the swamp and return to the hotel to let the hotel kitchen do it. As a result, she happened to meet the kidnapped couple and rescued them.

　　 Although, she personally felt that this incident was just a matter of effort, and almost forgot after a night, but when she got the couple's thanks, she was still a little proud.

　　 When they learned that Penny was Leo’s student and the group was about to go to the Old World, the young couple invited Leo to reach their uncle’s ship, the Lisa Beauty, a transoceanic cruise ship.

Sylvia easily obtained the identity of the young couple through conversation. It turned out that they were nobles from the Old Continent of Port Rand. This time they went to the Old Continent for a wedding trip and for finding a couple. The elders who served as missionaries in the New World.

After they came to the New World, they did not encounter any trouble. The travel process went smoothly and the things to be handled were quickly completed. Except for the prohibition order in Nice a few days ago, they never encountered any problems. It’s a good thing, and even the prohibition order is just a daily routine for them in the old continent, plus it’s the last part of their journey, they will board the ship back to the old continent in two days, so They also took their own safety lightly and did not obey the owner's instructions, and ran outside at night, only to encounter danger.

Later, Sylvia asked about the situation of the Lisa Beauty, and learned from the couple that the Lisa Beauty is a continental cruise ship belonging to the Purple Star Shipping Group and the largest in the world. One of the cruise ships. It started from the port city of Rand in the northern part of the Old World. After that, it went all the way south to the southernmost island of Vadar in the Old World. Then it crossed the ocean from Vadar Island to Port Aria, the southernmost port in the New World. Continue north along the east coast of the New World to reach Bingfeng Port, the northernmost port of the New World. After crossing the Arctic Ocean, return to Port Rand to complete a cruise on the old and new continents.

After learning about the route of the Lisa Beauty, Leo and Sylvia found that if they took the Lisa Beauty, they could not directly cross the ocean to the other side of the New World, but would continue to travel north for about five or six. This port will turn to the New World only after arriving at Bingfeng Port.

If it is in a hurry, they will definitely not take this detour cruise ship, even if this cruise ship is a luxury cruise ship, but now they are not in a hurry at all, there is enough time for them to consume on the road, so they too After thinking about it a little bit, he agreed to the couple's invitation.

After seeing Leo’s promise, the couple were also very happy. Later, they found the captain of the Sanctuary and asked him to move the cabin to Petunia’s cabin. Judging from the various behaviors, they were very straightforward and enthusiastic. People.

And just such a straightforward and enthusiastic couple. After seeing the social activists that Leo and Sylvia met yesterday, their faces became a little ugly, and their expressions showed a look of disgust. After seeing the social activists talking with Leo and Sylvia and handing them a few letters, they all showed a surprised look.

Those social activists did not talk too much with Leo and Sylvia. After handing them the letter to be mailed and the letter of introduction, they repeatedly emphasized the importance of these mailing letters, and then turned and left. It's just that they didn't return to the dock town. Instead, they took a small boat directly at the dock and dived into the red-leaf bush forest. It seemed that they were going to the town built deep in the swamp.

　　 "Mr. Leo is also a social activist?" After the few people left, the husband of the previous couple hesitated for a moment, leaned forward and asked.

"No." Leo shook his head, then showed the letter in his hand, and said: "I just promised to help them send some letters after going to Source Continent." Then, he looked at the other's expression and asked. Said: "You seem to dislike those social activists very much. Can you tell me why?"

　　 "Those guys are just a bunch of worms that can only create turmoil!" The young man changed his mild speech just now, and did not hesitate to use what he thought was the most vicious words to describe the few social activists.

　　 "Do you know them?" Leo asked again.

The young man said with resentment: "Of course, almost all the aristocrats in the source continent know them. Their rights theory has created countless mobs. A large number of traditional aristocrats who have not been at fault because their families are ruined, and those who are truly greedy and shameless in politics It is absurd that nobles are admired by the world and become so-called saviors."

Seeing the young people’s excitement, Leo asked a few more detailed questions about the social activists, only to know that the social activists apparently didn’t tell the truth to them yesterday. I wanted to come just now. The few people immediately took a boat into the depths of the swamp, which was worried that Leo would turn his face after learning about their true situation.

　　 It turned out that those social activists once belonged to a school of sociological research that is now extremely popular in the Old Continent. This school is called the New Social Rights Contract School.

The main theme of this school is very simple. It is that the social power contract of the old era is no longer applicable to the current era. It is now necessary to establish a new social rights contract with the bottom people as the main body, and the social class that this school believes should be completely abandoned. It is the traditional aristocracy who inherited ancient times and mastered large amounts of land resources.

　　 Originally, this school was just a small, regional research school with less than a hundred people. Let alone other countries, even the countries that produced this school have sneered at this school.

But I don’t know when it started. This school suddenly became popular in all walks of life in the Old Continent, especially among the people at the bottom. Later, some people used the school’s doctrines and ideas to incite the people, launch riots, and attack. Those traditional nobles that should be discarded in the school's thinking eventually turned into small-scale wars. Not only ordinary people suffered heavy casualties, but even the traditional nobles also suffered countless deaths and injuries.

In this case, although the new social rights contract school has not been strictly prohibited by various countries, the people who founded this school and wrote the school’s books have become the targets of various forces, and some people have been imprisoned for various reasons. After being in prison, some people had to give up relevant research due to external pressure, while others fled to other continents to continue to spread their ideas as social activists.

Upon hearing this, Leo and Sylvia couldn’t help but glance at each other, because they both knew very well that in the series of events triggered by this school, a third party, even a fourth party, and a fifth party intervened. Without exception, these forces are directed at the traditional aristocrats, and the new social rights contract school is the object of their use. As for whether any scholars in this school are aware of it and actively cooperate, then I don't know, but judging from the current situation, it seems that there is a great possibility of cooperation.

The couple also very seriously persuaded Leo and Sylvia: "The two did not understand the actual situation of these people and agreed to their request by mistake. Although I am not qualified to let the two give up helping them send letters, but I still hope that the two of them can think carefully before mailing, so as not to get into trouble with this matter."

　　 "Thank you, I know how to do it." Leo smiled, not paying attention to the other's persuasion.

　　 The other party also saw that Leo didn't take his words to heart, so he didn't say much. After all, it was enough to remind him from their relationship.

　　At this time, the sailors of the Sanctuary also began to greet the passengers to board the ship. The group of people boarded the ship with the crowd and returned to their cabins.

　　 After a while, after hearing a whistle, the Sanctuary slowly left the pier and continued towards the Port of Sainte-Pelia.

In the next two days, the Sanctuary docked at two other dock towns for one night. During this time, Leo and Sylvia took the initiative to contact the couple and asked about the Old World in the chat. .

Compared to the few social activists who used to stay in their own country, this couple obviously has a better understanding of the country and customs of the Old World, because they are both travel lovers. Before they got married, The two of them have already traveled together in the old continent. Although most countries and cities are watching the lanterns, they have gone through it at random~www.readwn.com~, but they still know the customs of these countries. , Political environment and some folklore taboos.

In addition, these two people also took part in the religious studies of the college in their respective colleges during their schooling. Although they learned to collect credits at that time, they have a certain understanding of the religions of this world, which can help Leo and Hill. Via understands the religions of this world.

At the same time, Penny was also brought over by Leola to practice the lingua franca of the Old World, and the partner was the couple. Because the couple love to travel, they spent some time in order to communicate with people from all over the world. Time and experience to learn a variety of lingua franca, although the mastery of the lingua franca is not a master, but it is also the best practice to be able to communicate with people from various countries.

Compared to when Petunia felt a headache for her heavy lingua franca learning plan, Qiao Ann was also anxious about her current state, because as time went by, he found that his blindness in his eyes became more and more serious. From the very beginning, he couldn't see things clearly, and now he can't see anything at all, and some pain in his brain and spine from time to time, it feels as if some bugs are burrowing in his brain.

This makes him almost every time he will ask Leo whether his eyes will recover. Even if he gets a positive answer from Leo's mouth, he can't help but ask again after a while, as if it's over and over again. Only by asking can he dispel the anxiety in his heart.
