The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What is the Tamink arrangement?" Although Merkel can understand part of the dialogue between Leo and Delkane, knowing that the mayor who died first was an impostor from the northern snowy field, he still has A lot of the content was completely incomprehensible, so I couldn't help asking.

　　 However, upon hearing Merkel's inquiry, the scholars all looked at Merkel with a look of contempt, as if they were saying things like they didn't even know this.

However, Leo was very natural, with no emotions, as if he was answering a passerby’s question at will, explaining: "The Tamink arrangement is a very unique arrangement of ancient foreign texts. They are only in The northern snowfields are popular in various countries, and the users are all primitive believers. These primitive believers have different inheritances. Some are good at using ancient foreign texts to create guardian holy objects, and some are very good at cursing and other strange arts."

Merkel seemed to understand, and elaborated: "You mean that the fake Mayor Jason is a primitive believer from the northern snowy country, and the one who killed him was also a primitive belief from the northern snowy plain. By."

　　 "It can only be said that it is possible." Leo did not give an affirmative answer, and then asked, "Is the corpse of Mayor Jason still there?"

"Still, according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Aden, any public official who died in office must be buried on the spot. The tomb of Mayor Jason is in the cemetery in the town." A member of the investigation team also seemed to be buried. As if it was affected, he vaguely regarded Leo as his superior. Seeing Leo’s question, he immediately answered, and added: “If you want to check the body of Mayor Jason, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult. Mayor Jason fell into the fireplace in his bedroom when he died. When he found out the next day, his upper body was scorched, and his lower body only had his legs intact in front of him. We and the church people performed an autopsy on the body. , And found nothing useful."

　　Some scholars mocked at this time: "You didn't find something useful, it doesn't mean that others can't find it. Don't forget, Mayor Jason may be fake, you didn't find out before."

　　 Hearing the scholar's ridicule, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other, and then looked back and forth thoughtfully between the scholar and the investigators.

　　 They found that scholars in Xuecheng not only despise the investigative team in terms of knowledge, but also have an emotional hostility. They seem to dislike the investigative team from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the people in the investigation team also seemed to be used to the hostility of scholars. They just frowned unhappy and did not respond. Merkel also invited Leo on behalf of the three of them, expressing the hope that Leo could help. They were investigating the incident and were willing to cooperate as assistants. Their attitude was very low, so low that even those scholars who knew the investigation team were a little surprised.

　　 Leo nodded and replied: "My wife and I are very willing to help, but we cannot guarantee that we can help you find out the truth."

　　 Afterwards, they asked the investigating team to take them to the cemetery and dig up the body of Mayor Jason, who was buried not long ago. The scholars in the school city were also curious about the follow-up development, and they all said to go together.

　　 So, a group of people rushed to the cemetery in a crowd like this.

　　 The investigators quickly found the mayor Jason’s cemetery, and asked the cemetery guards to take a few people to dig out the mayor’s coffin again.

　　 The cemetery guards also felt a little impatient with the investigation team's request, because he had repeatedly dug up the body three times before that, so in his opinion, these people in the investigation team were completely tossing about.

　　 It’s just that, even though he was very dissatisfied, the cemetery guards still did not dare to disobey the orders of the investigation team, and honestly took a few people to dug out Mayor Jason’s coffin again.

　　 After the coffin was dug out, Leo didn't ask someone to lift the coffin to a quiet place for inspection, but directly asked the investigating team to open the coffin.

As the coffin lid was opened, a smell of corpse came out. People in the investigation team had long been accustomed to this smell and showed no discomfort. Some scholars have come out except those who study medicine and anatomy. Others I couldn't help covering my mouth and nose, and didn't look inside the coffin curiously, but stepped back a few steps to a place where the air was slightly fresher.

Leo and Sylvia walked to the coffin calmly and looked at the corpses inside. As the investigation team said, most of the corpses inside were charred, only their legs remained intact and intact. There are obvious traces of unplaning on the legs, and even the remaining holy oil can be seen. It should be that the Church of True God tried to use some kind of tracking magic to investigate the source of the curse, but it ultimately failed.

However, Leo and Sylvia’s perception abilities are absolutely not comparable to the tracking magic used by the clergy. The moment they saw the corpse, they felt the curse power emanating from the corpse. This power was very weak. But it is long lasting, and it seems to originate from the corpse itself.

　　 "Did you do the de-planing of your feet?" Sylvia suddenly asked the investigating team.

"Yes, we did it." Merkel responded on behalf of the three of them, but his attitude was very humble, showing a stronger emotion of awe than when facing Leo just now, even when answering. With his head down, he didn't dare to look at Sylvia more.

Both Leo and Sylvia were aware of Merkel’s attitude and performance. They felt that Merkel’s performance should not only be due to Sylvia’s stronger power from the upper ranks, but also for other reasons. .

However, now is not a good time to investigate the cause. Sylvia did not show any strangeness. Instead, she accepted Merkel's seemingly excessive awe, and continued: "Why do you only do a two-foot solution? Planing, don't know how to plan your upper body?"

　　 Hearing Sylvia's questioning, the investigative team couldn't help being stunned, and for a while they didn't know how to answer.

Because when they were unplaning their feet, they couldn't find any clues at all, and they looked for things to do, whether it was before, during, or after unplaning, they didn't think about what they would find out from it. Useful clues.

After all, before they started working on the corpse, the church had used various methods to examine the corpse. Even if there were any clues, the church should have found it a long time ago, or it had been destroyed by the church a long time ago, and their unplaning behavior is more like It is a routine behavior full of perfunctory taste.

At this time, Leo had asked the cemetery guards to lift the body out, put it on the stone slab aside, and then took out a set of simple planing tools, and began to plan the body in full view, it was just that he was planing the body. The position is not the feet, but the scorched upper body.

　　 I saw that he was very proficient in completely disassembling the burnt muscles and internal organs of the upper body, and put it aside, leaving only a complete skeleton in the end.

At this time, the people present also found something wrong, because judging by the burnt degree of the upper body of the corpse, the skeleton of the corpse should also have burnt marks, and then the skeleton they saw was a normal skeleton. There is no trace of being burned.

　　 "What's going on?" Merkel, who was always standing by, was surprised when she saw this scene. She also let go of her hand covering her nose, forgetting the smell of corpses around her.

　　 Leo did not answer, but asked the cemetery guards to pile up a pile of firewood, and then signaled to the investigating team to pick out the skeleton, put it on the firewood, and light the firewood.

　　 Although the people in the investigation team didn't understand why Leo wanted to do this, they still followed Leo's instructions.

　　 When the pyre was ignited and the burning flame repeatedly passed through the skeleton in the pyre, everyone present could not help but exclaimed because they saw some blood-red characters appearing in the place where the skeleton was burned by the flame.

"It's an ancient alien text, a complete ancient alien system." Delkan recognized the origins of those characters for the first time, and immediately took out his notepad, and quickly recorded the symbols he saw. All scholars studying linguistics also took out their own notebooks to quickly record.

The investigators wanted to stop the scholars from recording characters, because these characters involve extremely evil and extraordinary powers and should not be touched by ordinary people, but they still did not speak because they knew that even if they spoke, these scholars would not Pay attention, when the time comes, it will cause some unnecessary conflicts.

　　 "Mr. Leo, what's the matter?" Merkel walked to Leo's side and asked.

"The Mayor Jason has been made into a cursed artifact," Leo analyzed seriously: "I guess the original purpose of the curse is to curse the intimacy with Mayor Jason in this way. People who are related, but I don’t know why the direction of the curse seems to be disturbed, and it eventually becomes a curse to all the people who have become the mayor of Dashu Town and their relatives."

At this time, Sylvia suddenly said: "I remember that there was a book introducing the customs of Dashu Town in the study of the mayor’s mansion. It mentioned that the mayor of Dashu Town who passed away during his term of office would perform some kind of ceremony. Let his heroic spirit be the guardian of the town. When the mayor Jason passed away, did the town conduct a similar ceremony?"

Merkel immediately replied: "It has been done, and it is very grand. This mayor Jason has done a lot of good things for Dashu Town during his tenure. He is very respected by the residents of Dashu Town, so he also got the permanent town. Long title.” As he said, he showed a daze, and said: “Is it because the direction of the curse of this ritual and title has changed and become all the people who become the mayor?”

Leo did not answer, nor did he need to answer. He packed his tools, and then told the investigating team that he could come to the hotel where they were staying if he had any questions. Then he told the scholars that he hoped to go if he had time. Visited them and continued to exchange academic subjects, only then and Sylvia left the cemetery.

The surrounding scholars did not leave immediately. They were still recording the complex patterns on the skeleton. The three members of the investigation team looked at each other with a little smile on their faces. For them, the investigation mission has not yet been completed. Completed, but at least half of it has been completed, and the anxiety accumulated over the past few months has also dissipated, especially Merkel has completely relaxed, and he no longer has to worry about the failure of the promotion task.

　　 "Do you think that the cursed person can still be caught?" When returning to the hotel, Sylvia asked curiously.

"I don't know this. After all, it has been a few months. That person may have cleaned up all the clues, and he has hidden himself." Leo used his psychic energy to clean up the filth on his body, and then thought about it again. Thought, and said, “However, the church’s control over the Old Continent is very powerful. How strong is the control of the Old World?"

Sylvia also nodded, agreeing with Leo's opinion, and then said: "Did you feel that the closer you are to the center of the continent, the stronger the power of the gods’ legal net, and the greater the extraordinary power under the legal net? Active. In the Port of West Pointe, we encountered less than five incidents involving extraordinary forces in total, but on the way here, we encountered more than 20 incidents of extraordinary forces, and this time It is directly aimed at the public officials of a country. It seems that we will see more interesting and extraordinary powers."

　　 "Interesting?" Leo looked at Sylvia and said, "Your emotions..."

"No, I have not been affected by blood." Sylvia interrupted Leo's questioning and said: "I just feel that my mentality has become younger, my mind is undergoing a certain transformation, and I feel waiting for my mind to change. When finished, you should be able to fully grasp all the power. UU看书www.uukanshu.com"

　　 Leo did not give any suggestions after hearing this, because Sylvia now has surpassed Leo in life forms, and his database did not record what needs to be done after any life forms evolve to this level.

　　 Although he has a complete inheritance of psionicists, it is only for psionicists. If it is applied to Sylvia, it may be counterproductive.

So Leo now rarely gives Sylvia any advice, and more as an observer reminds Sylvia that she needs to control herself, and also prepares a lot of spiritual wizard potions, because it has evolved to After this level, the power of the body is no longer the end, and the power of the mind and spirit is what needs to be paid attention to.

　　 After the two returned to the hotel they were staying in, Petunia and Joanne had already returned to the hotel. Although they had inquired about various rumors about the mayor's curse in Dashu Town, they are now useless.

　　 However, the information they inquired about was useless, because they discovered that in another village near Dashu Town, there was a member of the Investigation Bureau of the Kingdom of Teresa investigating another incident involving extraordinary powers.

When the person who met this member of the Bureau of Investigation described the appearance and clothing of this person, he mentioned that there was a very eye-catching emblem on the hilt of this man’s saber, and the appearance of this emblem was described in Joan. After coming out, Sylvia immediately determined that the badge was a variant of the Belmont family badge.
