The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Remember [New] for a second,! Hearing Leo's self-introduction, the Duke of Belmont was completely stunned, and looked at Leo with a look of surprise. His eyes were full of disbelief, and at the same time, there was a strong sense of vigilance and hostility.

Duke Belmont's emotions were so clearly expressed that everyone else in the room could clearly feel it. Queen Teresa, who was on the side, was the first to see Duke Belmont's emotions so obvious, so even if she felt so much against the wizard in her heart Feeling extremely curious about this matter, they still chose to remain silent, while Leo and Sylvia both felt surprised, and thought of some wizard's actions in their hearts, so they vaguely guessed something bad.

"Wizard? How could you be a wizard?" Duke Belmont couldn't help the inexplicable emotions in his heart, said solemnly.

Although Leo knew that if he continued to recognize the identity of a wizard, unforeseen things might happen, but he still asked: "Why can't I be a wizard?"

"You are completely different from the wizard in my memory." Duke Belmont walked up to Leo, looked at him seriously, and said, "I don't have any distaste for you, but if you are really in my heritage memory That wizard, then you are the enemy of our Belmont family."

Leo was stunned and turned to look at Sylvia. Sylvia interjected at this time: "Can I know why? Why is Your Excellency so hostile to wizards?"

Duke Belmonte didn't answer, just looked at Sylvia, then turned around and saluted Queen Teresa, then walked out of the room, it seemed that he didn't plan to say a word to Leo and the others.

Leo and Sylvia did not expect this sudden situation at all, and looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I think I know why the Duke has such a big reaction?" At this moment, Queen Teresa, who remained silent, suddenly said.

When Leo and Sylvia heard the words, they both looked at Queen Teresa, waiting for her to answer.

Queen Teresa didn't hide what she knew.

It turned out that when she was studying at the Belmont family castle when she was a child, she had read some books about the origin of the Belmont family. One of the books mentioned an experience that the Belmont family regarded as a dark age.

During that time, the ancestor of the Belmont family was a slave of a powerful being, along with his companions and friends of the Belmont family ancestor.

In the book, that powerful being is a complete lunatic who not only tortured the ancestors of the Belmont family, but also experimented with him, and even killed his relatives and companions, and then let him eat the bodies of his relatives, friends and companions.

All in all, during that time the ancestors of the Belmont family had been subjected to any torture and torture the world could bear.

Later, the powerful existence perished in the battle with the gods, and the ancestors of the Belmont family were able to escape.

However, this does not mean that the nightmare is over, because the torture during that time was too intense, so strong that all feelings and memories were integrated into the bloodline. Once the future members of the Belmont family have stimulated the power of the bloodline to a certain extent, It will awaken this memory hidden in the bloodline, and let the people of the Belmont family endure inhuman torture again and again, and this torture will not end, every time the power of the bloodline is used, this torture will be repeated. appear.

Over the years, the Belmont family has been sparsely populated, largely because many Belmonts could not bear the torture over and over again, and finally chose to commit suicide.

After listening to Queen Teresa's description, Leo and Sylvia felt a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they would suffer such an innocent disaster, but at the same time, they could understand why the Duke of Belmont showed such strong hostility just now. , and even they admired that Duke Belmonte's mentality has not collapsed after so many years of torment.

"Do you have a way to solve this?" While Sylvia felt sorry for the Belmont family in this world, she also turned to look at Leo and asked.

"I don't know the situation yet, so I can't give an answer." Leo thought for a while and said, "And what's more important is that I still don't know whether this bloodline inheritance memory is a self-feedback caused by the torture being too intense, or whether Cursed by a wizard?"

"Curse?" Sylvia and Queen Teresa exclaimed in unison, and then the two looked at each other again, perhaps seeing a person who looked exactly the same with the same behavior and expression, they thought it was very interesting and couldn't help it. smiled.

Leo ignored the small movements of the two, and while thinking about the problem, he explained: "The conditions for achieving bloodline inheritance and memory are very harsh, or the development and awakening of bloodline power will follow the same route from generation to generation, and in the end To complete the solidification of bloodline memory, just like those abyss upper races, or surpassing mortals, the life form has reached the level of gods, and the bloodline memory is forcibly solidified through the power of gods." Saying, Leo looked at Sylvie Ya, said: "You are the best example. Your life form has reached the demigod realm, but you still have no way to solidify any memory in your own blood, right?"

Sylvia heard the words and nodded, but Queen Teresa on the side had a shocked expression again when she heard Leo mention that Sylvia was already a demigod, there was no doubt about it. , the shock she felt today is definitely the most she has felt in the past few years.

Leo continued: "Although I don't know how powerful the Belmont family ancestor had at that time, but from the perspective of the Belmont family's development, his power should not have reached the level of a demigod, so he relies on himself. It is obviously impossible to consolidate the inheritance memory in the bloodline with the power of ." After speaking, he paused, and then said thoughtfully: "This kind of inheritance memory full of extreme torture is not so much a gift from the ancestors. It is said to be the curse of the enemy, and judging from the experience of Belmont's ancestors just described by Her Majesty, the wizard can perish with the gods, and he must also have the power equivalent to the gods, so he has no obstacles in the basic conditions. If I'm not mistaken, the Belmont family ancestor should have played a key role in the death of wizards and gods, so..."

At this time, the Duke of Belmont, who had left before, reappeared at the door, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the ancestors did indeed destroy the wizard's tower in the battle between the wizard and the **** of hunting, which directly led to the witch-killing witchcraft performed by the wizard. A deviation occurred and he was killed along with the **** of the hunt."

Obviously, after leaving the room, Duke Belmonte calmed down quickly, and he and Sylvia also thought of going together, thinking that if Leo was really a wizard, then he might be able to solve the eternal torture in his family's blood. , so he returned to the outside of the room, heard the conversation in the room, and found an opportunity to return to the room at the right time.

"It seems that it should be a curse." Leo knew that Duke Belmont was outside the door, so he didn't show any surprise, just calmly said to Duke Belmont, "I can try to help you solve the bloodline inheritance memory. But I can't guarantee that it can be solved, after all, the wizard that your family ancestors met is far more powerful than me now, and I may not be able to unravel the curse he laid before his death."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you do your best." Although Duke Belmonte's tone was still cold, it was much more relaxed than before, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "What do I need to do?"

"Now? Now you don't need to do anything, and I can't do anything either." Leo shook his head and said: "Cracking the curse is not an easy thing, it requires repeated attempts, otherwise, the problem will not only be impossible If the solution is resolved, it will worsen further." He thought for a while and said, "After the wizard and the gods perished, the ancestors of your family should have taken away all the heritage of the wizards and gods, right? For example, the books of wizards. , the remains of the gods."

When Duke Belmont heard the words, he immediately thought of something, and looked at Leo vigilantly again, but he didn't see anything unusual on Leo's face, so he thought about it and looked at Sylvia again. , nodded and said: "Indeed, only my ancestors survived at that time. Everything left after the death of wizards and gods was inherited by my ancestors."

"Belmont Castle is also part of the heritage?" Sylvia asked curiously at this time.

"Yes, it's part of the legacy." Duke Belmont nodded and then said to Leo: "I don't think you can find anything about curses in the books left by wizards. Our family has studied those books. It’s been a hundred years and still nothing has been gained.”

"That's because you are not wizards." Leo pointed out the problem unceremoniously and said: "And I need those books not to find clues about the curse, but to understand who the wizard was back then. What system, what is the source of his power. Although they are also wizards, each wizard has his own system. Different wizards have different source powers. Wizards are just a general term, just like scholars in the academy. ."

"In a way, you are the same as the scholars here." Duke Belmont also felt something.

"The same desire to explore the unknown." Leo summed up himself.

The Duke of Belmont said with great disdain: "As crazy and bold, without any scruples, as inhuman." After speaking, he returned to the subject and said, "I can give you the things left by the wizards for research, but you must go to the castle. , cracking the bloodline inheritance memory must also be done in the castle."

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, then nodded, and said, "I have no opinion on this, and I'm also curious about what the Belmont family castle looks like."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Duke Belmont felt that there was no need to stay in the room any longer, and he was still very uncomfortable with Leo's identity as a wizard, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Leo immediately stopped the other party and said, "I promised to help you solve the problem of blood inheritance and memory, so what kind of reward are your Belmont family going to pay?"

"Remuneration?" Duke Belmont was stunned.

"Of course it's the reward," Leo said with a smile: "What I'm focusing on is equivalent exchange. Since I do something, I naturally need to get the corresponding reward. You won't let me do it for nothing, right?"

Hearing Leo's words, the Duke of Belmont opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. In his memory, it seemed that there had never been a person like Leo who asked for compensation in person. He asked people to do things, or The family has already negotiated the remuneration, or the person is willing to help him do things. In short, there is no need for him to consider things like his remuneration, so he doesn't know how to speak for a while because he is inexperienced.

Queen Teresa, who saw this scene, was also very interesting. She had seen more of the stable and dignified Duke of Belmont, and she had never seen a duke with a dazed look on her face like now, which made her feel like a duke. The bystanders are also good, so I always sit on the side with a smile, without the slightest idea of ​​interrupting.

Duke Belmont turned to look at Sylvia.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "This is your business, not mine."

Duke Belmont couldn't help but smiled angrily and said, "I asked you to study the books and items left by the wizards, isn't this a reward?"

Leo shook his head and said: "This is just the basic conditions that your Excellency must provide. The fundamental purpose of my research on those things is to solve the problem of your bloodline inheritance and memory. Of course, this is not a reward."

"You said it yourself, what do you want?" said the Duke of Belmont with a gloomy face.

Leo thought about it, UU reading www. uukanshu.com said: "I can't think of what I want for the time being. When I think of it, I will tell you, but please rest assured, the remuneration I offer is definitely something that you can pay and will not exceed your psychological limit. ."

The Duke of Belmont didn't respond after hearing this. He just snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the room. Judging from the sound of footsteps gradually receding, this time he really left.

"Is this a promise?" Leo turned to look at Queen Teresa and asked.

"Yes, I should have agreed." Queen Teresa said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen a Duke like this. It's really interesting. It seems that my trip to the Academy is the right one." Then, she turned towards Leo and Sylvia solemnly, and asked, "Can I know the real purpose of the two of you coming here?"

Sylvia replied on behalf of the two: "You don't have to think about us too complicated, we are here just because there are enough books here, and the research atmosphere is also very good, by the way, let's get to know the Belmont family in this world, we I don't have any thoughts about your country." After speaking, she paused, as if thinking of something, and added, "We can even have some cooperation that is beneficial to each other."

"Cooperation? What cooperation?" Queen Teresa asked with an interested look.
