The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Through Viper's narration, Leo and Sylvia had a general understanding of the Belmont family's situation, which were things that the outside world did not know.

For example, the official population of the Belmont family is not very large, only more than a hundred people. Only those who really stimulate the bloodline are eligible to be named Belmonte, as for other people who do not stimulate the bloodline, they are named Belinde as a surname.

The Belmont family is now a family system with one main and three branches. This family system was not formed later, but existed before the Belmont family migrated to the Kingdom of Teresa. As for why it was divided, Viper did not. clear.

He just knows that the relationship between the main family and the branch is not so divided. Many times people from the main family will be delegated to the branch to join the branch family, and people from the branch family will have the opportunity to enter the castle and become the main family. There have even been instances in the past where members of the branch families became the lords of the castle.

The Belmont family usually refers to the main house as the castle, and their family name is also called by the additional part on the family badge. For example, the family badge of the Viper has a pair of dragon wings, so it is called double-winged wings. The other two branches are Talon and Dragonflame.

As indicated by their family badges, the two branch families, Sharp Claw and Dragon Flame, are the armed forces of the Belmont family. They are usually knights and warriors, and each family controls two full-scale regular mercenary groups. They accept foreign employment all the year round to fight the killing field.

The two-winged wings are responsible for protecting the Belmont family's territory. The members are all forest hunters and heretical hunters. The family village is not too far from the castle because of its function.

Although Belmont Castle is in the deep mountains, and the duchy territory is also some mountainous areas, the people living here are not much less than those in the outside world. According to rough statistics, there are at least 300,000 people in the territory. In the more than 100 small villages, these people are almost all managed by the Two-winged Wing family. From this aspect, the Two-winged Wing family not only acts as a guard, but also serves as the butler of the castle.

The reason why so many people would rather leave the prosperous outside world and choose to enter the deep mountains and live the simple life of mountain people is mainly because the vast majority of these more than 300,000 people are refugees who have suffered from the war. , which is also mixed with some special groups that can be recorded in the church heresy directory.

These special ethnic groups are ultimately attached to the Belmont family to avoid being hunted as heretics. Viper also highlights a special ethnic group attached to the two-winged family. The people of this group are born with a powerful The psychic ability can sense what the interrogated person is thinking when interrogating some people, but at the same time they will be more or less affected by the interrogation person's emotions, and this influence cannot be eliminated, once After accumulating to a certain extent, it will affect the minds of these people. They will hear some mysterious sounds, and their bodies will mutate uncontrollably, eventually mutating into monsters.

It is for this reason that this ethnic group was written into the heresy directory by the Church of Justice and many other churches. It was hunted by hunters all the time, and the ethnic group was displaced. It was not until they moved to the territory of the Belmont family that they were able to settle down, because the Belmont family and the church have There seems to be some agreement that after heretics enter their territory, they will no longer be hunted by the church's heretical hunting team, but will be under the control of the Belmont family. From a certain point of view, the Belmont family's territory is more like a heretic prison. .

It's just that for those special groups who have suffered from hunting, there is a paradise for heresy, so they are very willing to serve the Belmont family. A member of the tribe, and he was able to find out how the three-person investigation team solved the mayor's curse so quickly was also because of this follower's ability.

Compared with the story of his own family, Viper seems to be reluctant to tell about the other two branches. Even if Leo or Sylvia asks about Sharp Claw and Dragon Flame, he will use it as an excuse of ignorance. Ambiguous.

Sylvia doesn't care about this, she cares more about the castle's own family, and Viper will mention the castle incidentally when he mentions the situation of his own family.

Sylvia could easily tell from what Viper said that Viper didn't know much about Belmont Castle. It seemed that even if they had the same surname as Belmont, their identities were very different.

At the same time, through some inadvertent words that Viper said, Sylvia also understood why Viper would answer her questions so cooperatively, and even took the initiative to sell her family information, because the other party completely regarded her as Trey Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Sha, even imagined that she and the Queen of the Kingdom of Teresa were playing a game of double king rotation.

The reason why Viper had such a misunderstanding was entirely because Sylvia was so similar to the Queen Teresa he had seen, especially both of them had the kind of noble temperament unique to a queen, and The special power that belongs to the Belmont bloodline makes them look like the same person to Viper. The only difference is that Sylvia's power is stronger and her temperament is more mature.

After learning about Viper's misunderstanding, Sylvia couldn't help but be curious about Her Majesty the Queen, who had the exact same appearance and temperament as her, but she couldn't open her mouth to inquire about the Queen's information, because in that case Viper would definitely Realizing that his guess was completely wrong, it would be difficult for him to tell more information about the Belmont family so honestly and straightforwardly.

So, Sylvia simply followed the misunderstanding of the other party, disguised herself as the queen, and then guided the other party little by little, revealing more about Belmont Castle, especially the location of Belmont Castle.

However, what surprised Sylvia was that the person who already had the Belmont surname didn't even know the exact location of Belmont Castle. The only thing he knew was that the only way to go to the castle was by riding the nightwing carriage of the castle.

"Nightwing carriage? Is that Nightwing the Nightwing mentioned in the Land of the Gods?" Leo, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, suddenly interjected and asked when Viper was talking about it.

Hearing this question, Viper couldn't help being stunned. He was not stunned because the question was not easy to answer, but because he realized now that not only he and Sylvia exist in this room, but also There was a third person sitting in front of him, but before the other person opened his mouth to ask questions, he didn't notice this person at all, as if this person was an invisible invisible person.

He felt like he had made a big mistake at the moment, because the things he said just now were internal family information that could not be passed on. If he found out that there were other people in this room, he would not have said those things. , And at this moment, the mistake has been made, but he has no idea how to recover, he can only stand there, looking at a loss.

Gu </span> "Is it difficult to answer my husband's question?" Sylvia, who noticed the change in Viper's mood, asked, only to increase her tone a little when she said her husband once.

After listening to Sylvia's words, Viper was stunned for a while, and soon thought of something, and his overwhelmed look disappeared. He realized that although this extra person who suddenly appeared was not a member of the Belmont family, he It is true that the queen's husband is also half a family member, and it doesn't matter that the other party knows some secrets of the Belmont family.

Thinking of this, he could not help but relax his nervousness again, and answered Leo's question truthfully, saying, "Yes, that Nightwing is the Nightwing you said can bring people into the land of gods."

"The castle is not in this world, it's in a piece of warp debris." Leo whispered to Sylvia with certainty.

The Land of the Gods is a novel that has been widely circulated in this world. It tells about a man who encounters a monster called Nightwing. The monster takes him into a place called the Land of the Gods, the Land of the Gods. It is a place under the kingdom of gods. All heroes and sages who do not believe in gods but have great achievements will come here after death. Only after completing the atonement of the unbelievers and finding their own beliefs can they leave God. The hometown of the gods corresponds to the kingdom of gods, otherwise, it will eventually disappear completely in the hometown of gods.

The reason why this book has spread so widely is because the person who wrote the book is a saint recognized by several major churches, and the Church of True God also believes that this book is very beneficial to mission, so it will actively promote this book, just because of interests, For reasons such as beliefs, the Land of God promoted by each church is slightly different, and each church will add some things according to its own needs.

It's just that the Land of the Gods that Leo saw was one of the most original versions. Although it was not the original version, the version he saw had very little modified content, especially when Nightwing took the book with him. The process of the protagonist entering the land of the gods has not been deleted, which allows Leo to judge from the key features in the description that the extraordinary creature named Nightwing can open up space rifts and enter certain objects attached to the surface of this world. In the fragments of the warp plane.

Therefore, he can be sure that the Land of Gods mentioned in the book is a relatively complete warp plane, and now it seems that Belmont Castle should also be built in a warp plane fragment.

It is this kind of space isolation-like protection that makes the Belmont family so mysterious, and even the church may not know the location of Belmont Castle. This may be the reason why the church allows the existence of a non-church extraordinary family like the Belmont family. the main reason in the world.

After all, if they fall out, they can't find the location of Belmont Castle, nor can they harm the Belmont family, but the Belmont family can hide, without any security concerns, they can attack the church whenever they want, this is enough Tired of the churches.

Sylvia has also read the book Land of the Gods and knows what is going on in the Land of the Gods. She is also surprised that the Belmont family is able to master a fragment of a warp plane, because to a certain extent, this kind of A fragment of a warp plane is equivalent to a world, but the world is incomplete.

After thinking for a while, she asked Viper, "If I want to visit the castle, what conditions or procedures do I need?"

Viper replied truthfully: "As you are, you can visit the castle at any time, and you don't need any conditions and procedures at all."

After listening to Viper's answer, Sylvia frowned slightly.

Judging from various circumstances, it is clear that the Royal Family Teresa should be a branch of another Belmont family, or it can be said to be the second of the family, because the members of the royal family grew up in Belmont Castle since childhood. The three branch families of the Belmont family are not eligible, so the status of the king or queen as the leader of the royal family is probably similar to that of the patriarch of the Belmont family, and their return to the castle is equivalent to returning home, and naturally no additional conditions and procedures are required. .

But the problem is that Sylvia is not the real Queen Teresa, she naturally cannot enter and leave the castle as freely as Queen Teresa, and the problem is why this Sheldon Belmont has such a big misunderstanding, It was entirely because Sylvia herself was very similar to Queen Teresa, and because he was not familiar with that queen, he had only seen the queen from a distance, so he mistook her for Queen Teresa.

But the people in Belmont Castle are different. Queen Teresa obviously grew up in the castle like other members of the royal family. There should be many people in the castle who have had contact with Queen Teresa. UU Reading www.uukanshu ． There are many members of the Belmont core family who grew up with Queen Teresa.

In this case, Sylvia has no way to disguise as Queen Teresa as she is now. She appears as Queen Teresa, I am afraid that she will be caught before she enters the fragment of the warp plane where the castle is located. People have seen through it.

So after listening to Viper's answer, Sylvia added: "I don't want to go to the castle as a queen, I just want to enter the castle as an ordinary person without the knowledge of the people inside the castle."

Sylvia's request sounded a bit weird to Viper, but he didn't understand why the Queen Teresa in front of him did this, he just thought that Sylvia did this to surprise the people in the castle. .

So he thought for a moment and said: "The castle's collection of books is the most complete collection in the world. It is said that there are many secrets hidden in it, and even the church and the academy covet. Through the exchange of interests, they obtained the family's promise every year. You can send five people to read books in the castle for ten days. As far as I know, this year's candidates for the church have been selected, but the academy has not yet been selected, and the candidates need to pass the assessment, and the assessment standard is enough The knowledge that convinces everyone. Judging from the performance of Your Majesty in the living room just now, there should be no problem with your knowledge, and you have a good chance of getting a place, but the premise is that you need to become a scholar in the academy."
