The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Yes, I see, you are Sylvia's mentor." Chief Raul, who had recovered from the shock, did not question Sylvia's identity, but followed the other party's words and said.

Sylvia looked at the security chief who had a low posture and looked like a subordinate in front of her. She had a feeling of crying and laughing. Although the other party admitted her identity, she obviously didn't think so in her heart.

However, she has no plans to explain further. The misunderstanding of the other party may not be a bad thing. Before the other party understands, they can at least use this misunderstanding to temporarily obtain some special permissions, even if their identity is revealed in the future. , after all, she had denied from the beginning that she was the Queen.

"How is the situation here now?" Sylvia pointed to the room and asked in a deep voice, "What about the original things here?"

"All the information has been sealed up by the regulations of the Xuecheng. After the review committee sends someone down to review the importance of the information, it can be unsealed." After already convinced that the person in front of him is the Queen, Director Raul's words and deeds seemed a little humble. After hearing Sylvia's question, he immediately explained and added: "However, if it's you, you don't need to follow those rules and directly call the information. Do you need me to send someone to bring those materials over for you to check?"

"No need." Sylvia shook her head after hearing this, she knew very well that Lucius' whereabouts were not in those documents, and the really useful information had already been taken away by them, and there were only some outside. Secondary reference material, it doesn't matter if you look at it or not.

At this time, Leo suddenly asked: "Mr. Director, you have already sent someone to search the whole city, what is the result?"

Although Director Raul didn't know what Leo's identity was, he guessed Leo's identity from Sylvia's attitude and title. .

Therefore, his attitude towards Leo was also very respectful. After hearing the question, he immediately replied: "Except for a few tutors' laboratories that were not searched, other places were carefully searched and found nothing." As he spoke, without waiting for Leo to ask, he walked aside and took out a folder from his briefcase, handed it to Leo and said, "This is the information on those mentors."

Leo was also welcome, took the folder and quickly looked at it. The information here is mainly divided into two parts, one part is the search report, and the other part is a detailed record of all the lives of the mentors and their research project information.

The mentors who refused to enter the research room were different from Leo and the others. They were native Teresa people, and they were from some small towns in the Kingdom of Teresa. They were recommended by the local college with excellent grades. After studying in the academic city, he has stayed in the academic city to study and research, and has never contacted the outside world again. He belongs to the least suspicious type of person.

And the most important thing is that their research laboratory is at the level of clover. According to the regulations of the research project level of Xuecheng, the level of clover is already an important research project, and they are eligible to apply for a research laboratory in the third urban area, but I don’t know why these mentors He did not apply to set up a research laboratory in the third urban area, but stayed in the second urban area.

For this reason, the main personnel of these research laboratories, from tutors to students, will have a higher-level city guard system in Xuecheng responsible for special security, which means that there are people monitoring the situation of these laboratories at all times. In this case, it is almost impossible to kidnap another mentor and hide it.

Therefore, even though the instructors prevented the inspectors from entering the research room when they searched the whole city, the person in charge of the inspection did not continue to force the inspection, but believed that the possibility of them being the kidnappers was very low, and The research laboratories that were not inspected were classified into the lowest level of suspicion.

After reading the documents, Leo did not immediately remove these mentors from the list of suspects like the other city guards who were in charge of the search. Divided into the list of the most suspicious objects.

The reason for this suspicion is not that Leo found any clues, but that he carefully read the search report. From the detailed search process recorded in the report, it is not difficult to see that the city guard in charge of the search did a very good job. Basically, no mistakes can be found, even if Leo leads people to search, it may not be so clean.

If it was elsewhere, Leo might also think that there might be extraordinary power and hide the kidnapped mentor Lucius. Can find Lucius.

But there are energy jammers in the second city. Judging from Leo's situation of the entire city, unless he reaches the level of a demigod like him, it is impossible for there to be any forbidden areas or closures generated by extraordinary power. The kidnapped Lucius could only hide in the usual way.

Under the circumstance that the inspections have been completed in other places and there are no mistakes or omissions, even if the few places that have not been inspected are not worthy of suspicion for various reasons, they should also be regarded as objects that must be suspected.

In addition, among the research subjects of the city instructors recorded in the data, there is a city instructor whose research content involves the history of the founding of the Kingdom of Teresa and a legendary treasure.

Leo handed the document in his hand to Sylvia, and at the same time asked Director Raul: "Do you have the information on this Philip Dinan? The more detailed kind, especially the information on his research project. "

Director Raul replied: "Is Feili Dinan scholar? His information is not easy to find. If you find anyone in the academy, you can tell you that this person is a famous person in the academy, but his reputation is not very good. He always thinks that The treasure mentioned in the folklore story of the founding of the kingdom is real, and he has been working on it for a long time."

Leo also listened to the accompanying exchange team scholars on the way to tell the story of the founding of the Kingdom of Teresa in this folklore. The story itself is not very good, it is a synthesis of a large number of the most popular folk adventure stories, and these stories Naturally, there are also treasures in China. In this story, a treasure is specifically mentioned. This treasure is also the foundation for the establishment of Teresa's kingdom in the story.

"Don't you believe the treasure really exists?" Leo asked rhetorically.

"I don't think that just one treasure can allow ordinary people to build a kingdom like Teresa, not to mention that only a small part of the treasure was taken away in the story, and the rest are left in the treasure field." Director Er shook his head and said: "If calculated like this, the wealth contained in that treasure will be an unimaginable number, and the question is who left such a huge treasure? I think in the past it should be No country can have such a huge wealth, not even the Middle Kingdom, which is known as the birthplace of mankind, and it is even more impossible for any country to be so stupid to bury such a huge treasure underground instead of using it by itself. "

After listening to the analysis of the slightly fat Director Raul in front of him, Leo and Sylvia also re-established their views on this person. Before, they only thought that the ability of Director Raul was average, otherwise it would be impossible to even such a simple The kidnapping case will also be recruited for help at the beginning, and now it seems that this director Raul also has a very high wisdom and reason, and can analyze so much content from those legends and stories, the only flaw is that His vision is too limited, he thinks that treasure is equal to wealth, and he doesn't know that there is a treasure in the world whose value is far beyond the limit of wealth.

Leo gave his opinion directly and said, "Go and search this Philip Dinant's laboratory first! I believe there should be something to gain."

"This? This may be a little difficult." Director Raul hesitated for a while, and said: "The research laboratory of the Phili scholar needs the permission of the project committee to enter the search. I have already sent someone to apply, and I will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. …”

"Rules are dead, people are alive, sometimes you shouldn't pay too much attention to the rules, and the results are more important." Leo looked at Director Raul and bewitched: "Although you searched the city for the reasons given It has nothing to do with the kidnapping case, but anyone with a little brain will feel that something is wrong, which means that now the kidnappers have begun to be vigilant, and they know that there is not much time left for themselves, and they may use more drastic means to deal with the victims. The kidnapped Lucius scholar asks what he wants to know from his mouth. Afterwards, it is more likely to kill the Lucius scholar, and use methods that you cannot find to destroy the corpse. Do you think that one day is enough to do these things Not enough?"

After hearing this, Director Raul's face became a little ugly. His thinking had followed Leo's words to think of the final result. If a mentor, even a titled mentor, was kidnapped and murdered under his nose, In the end, even if he solves the case and catches the perpetrator, I'm afraid he won't even think about staying in his current position, and he may say goodbye to the stable and comfortable life in the past.

Thinking of this, Director Raul couldn't help but looked at Sylvia, as if he wanted to get some useful advice from her.

Sylvia asked rhetorically: "Which is more serious, violating the rules of the second city or the tragic death of the tutor of the second city in the city."

When Director Raul heard the words, the hesitant look on his face disappeared. Then he instructed the captain of the city guard of a security bureau not far away to obey Leo and Sylvia, and then walked quickly. After walking out of Lucius's laboratory, it seemed that he should have organized a search of the laboratory of Philip Dinan.

Leo and Sylvia did not continue to stay in Lucius's research room. They just took advantage of the fact that the disguise had not been dismantled and the special authority was still there, so they asked the captain of the city guard to take them to the second city. Take a look at a restricted area that ordinary scholars cannot enter, such as the prohibited item warehouse.

In the eyes of many forces involving extraordinary powers, the City of Academics is almost equivalent to a heresy or a mortal enemy. Among them are the Church of the True God and the believers of the Heretic God. If it hadn’t been protected by the Kingdom of Teresa, perhaps it would have long since been used by all parties. The supernatural forces were wiped out.

Although these extraordinary forces cannot attack the academic city with great fanfare, it is still very simple to send some dead soldiers and mad believers to infiltrate the city to destroy it, but the core areas of the third, fourth, fifth and fourth academies are not open to the public. , all those who try to enter the urban area need to undergo re-identification. Those who sneak in have no countermeasures against this, and can only target the second urban area. As for the first urban area, they are not particularly important. No matter how badly damaged it is, it will not affect the survival of the academic city.

In this way, the second city has become the one with the most attacks among the five city districts of Xuecheng, and the vast majority of these attacks were caused by the mad believers of the Church of the True God and the heretics of the Church of the Heretic God. From the captain of the city guard, Leo knew something interesting. These two forces that should not have come together actually cooperated with each other when facing the common enemy of Xuecheng.

Because of a lot of experience targeting fanatics and cultists, the security bureau in the second city can often intercept the plans of these fanatics and cultists before the destruction occurs, and also collect a large amount of loot at the same time. Many of the items contain various dangers. For this reason, the Academy has built a building to store these dangerous items in the second city. This building is also a forbidden place for scholars in the second city. , Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Only with the consent of a few school city management organizations such as the project committee, some scholars specializing in religious objects or supernatural objects are allowed to enter the building to study these dangerous objects involving supernatural power.

According to common sense, it is impossible for a city guard captain of the security bureau to bring people into the restricted area where dangerous objects are stored, but this city guard captain is directly under the director of the security bureau, and has been personally ordered by Director Raul, so entering the restricted area is naturally not what a difficult thing.

Leo and Sylvia checked their belongings a little, and after registering their identities, they were put into the building by the guards, but they were still accompanied by a team of guards wearing special armor and two managers.

The first thing that attracted the attention of Leo and Sylvia in the whole building was not the various equipment full of technology in the building, but the two managers arranged for them by the building management department, because they found that these two Managers are very special, they are like two living energy disruptors.

When the two managers in black robes and hoods approached him, neither Leo nor Sylvia felt an energy disturbance several times stronger than the outside world, and this energy disturbance even made Sylvia Via had the illusion that the power of the abyss within his body was rapidly shrinking.
