The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After Sylvia said the answer, the black house immediately became silent, everyone was stunned, and the expressions on their faces were different, some were dazed, some were puzzled, and more were with There was an inexplicable smile, obviously they all thought the answer was a little ridiculous.

Indeed, in the eyes of normal people, this answer is too absurd. Although everyone present could not see the appearance of the holographic projection clearly, they could also judge from the other party's body shape and movements that the other party's age should not have entered old age, and The first dean of the City of Academics has been dead for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for these two people to be connected.

However, slightly different from the expressions of the surrounding scholars, Queen Teresa, Duke Belmonte, and Dean Thomas all had thoughtful expressions on their faces, obviously they seemed to have said to Sylvia. The answer is somewhat agreeable, or it has inspired a certain part of their memory.

Although the expressions of the three people are very subtle, and they can't see anything in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, their expressions have fully revealed their inner thoughts. The two couldn't help but glance at each other and exchanged glances.

At this moment, Duke Belmont suddenly asked Leo and Sylvia, "Why do you think it is the first dean of the academy? Have you met the dean of the academy before?"

After listening to the question, Leo couldn't help but smiled and said: "Your Highness, your question is really interesting. It revealed a lot of information, which made our previous guesses more certain."

"Did I reveal any information?" Duke Belmont was stunned, not understanding what Leo was talking about.

Leo then explained: "You ask if we have met the first dean of the academy before? Don't you think it is strange to ask? According to normal circumstances, how can one person ask another person if they have met? A person who has been dead for hundreds of years, unless that person knows that the person who has been dead for hundreds of years is actually alive."

As Leo's voice fell, the scholars who were still sneering at the beginning all restrained the complex expressions on their faces, and invariably looked at Duke Belmonte.

These scholars are the most wise people in the world, just need a little reminder, these scholars are also aware of the information revealed in Duke Belmonte's questioning, so they are all shocked, even some of the first academic The eyes of those who knew a little about the life of Dean Zhicheng showed a look of anticipation.

There is very little information about the first academic city dean disclosed in Xuecheng, even less than a new student's resume, but two very important points are mentioned in this information. The first point is the first A dean of the Academic City was one of the earliest people who engaged in the research on the relics of prehistoric civilizations. All the research projects related to the relics of prehistoric civilizations in the Academic City can be more or less related to it.

The second point is that the first Dean of Academic City has been researching how to prolong the life of ordinary people, and it seems that he has achieved results, but the results have not been preserved. lost together.

In the opinion of the scholars of the Black House, since the research on the relics of prehistoric civilization has been confirmed, it should also be true that the first Dean of the Academic City has developed a method to prolong human lifespan, and now the Duke of Belmont His questioning seemed to reveal this matter. It seemed that people who should have been dead for hundreds of years are still alive.

Even the wiser people will still be afraid and timid when they encounter death, and instinctively want to avoid death, and now the vast majority of scholars in the black house are very old, even if the city of academia uses various There is a way to take care of them, but it still can't stop them from going to the final death step by step, and now that there is an opportunity to extend their lifespan, which is about to end, so that they can continue to study what they want to study, they naturally won't They were willing to let go, which also made them look at Duke Belmonte eagerly.

However, at this moment, Duke Belmont also realized that he had revealed information that should not be disclosed, his face became particularly gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Leo. At the same time, he also sternly and indifferently glanced at the surrounding scholars. , and then towards Leo, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Leo, your approach makes me very passive?"

"Very passive?" Leo smiled, pointed to the many scholars around him, and said, "They just want to know the truth."

"But some truths should not be told publicly." Duke Belmont responded coldly, and then ordered Dean Thomas, "Prepare us a quiet place."

"Okay." Dean Thomas did not express any objection, and then he walked to the cabinet on the side of the black house, took out a few triangular objects, and stacked them in the corner of the wall, and then I saw that several triangles shot out a light curtain respectively, connected to each other, and traveled a light curtain room.

The function of this light curtain can not only isolate the sight from inside and outside, but also isolate the sound. Scholars in the black house sometimes need to study alone and need a quiet place. In the past, they would leave the black house and find a quiet place in the city. After discovering the role of this civilization relic, scholars do not need to leave the black house when they need to be alone, so that since they don't have to waste time looking for a suitable research laboratory, they don't need to risk being spy by other forces danger of attack.

After seeing the formation of the light curtain room, the Duke of Belmont walked in first, and Queen Teresa followed, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and entered.

"Thomas, do you know something?" After Leo and the others entered the light curtain room, the scholars in the dark room all gathered around Dean Thomas, and a very senior scholar asked impatiently.

"I don't know anything, and you shouldn't know." Dean Thomas warned everyone very seriously: "Remember the thirteenth rule of the code? I don't want you to be punished for violating these rules."

Hearing Dean Thomas' warning, everyone felt extremely dissatisfied, but they didn't ask any further questions. They knew very well what the consequences of violating the black house code would be, if it was just to satisfy their own curiosity, or to satisfy their own curiosity. Some illusory things, and violated the rules of the black house, especially the strictest code 13, some of the losses outweighed the gains.

However, there were still a few very old scholars who were still a little unwilling. They didn't turn around and leave, and they didn't ask questions, but stared at Dean Thomas.

These old scholars are all scholars who have made great contributions to the city. Each of them was once qualified to be the dean of the city, but they all gave up being the dean of the city in order to be able to study the relics of prehistoric civilization in the black house. , so even if these people did not speak, they could still put a lot of pressure on Dean Thomas.

Dean Thomas had to explain to several old scholars: "If there is a way to prolong life in Xuecheng, it will definitely be used by you. Your wisdom is the most valuable asset of Xuecheng, and anyone who dies will die. It's an irreparable loss."

"What happened to the first dean?" an old scholar couldn't help asking.

Dean Thomas lowered his voice and said, "I don't know about this either, but I know that all the materials related to the first dean have been tightly stored with the highest standards, and even I can't read them, and this kind of storage specifications What is it for, I think you should know too, right?"

After listening to Dean Thomas' explanation, several old scholars seemed to have thought of something, and their faces became very ugly. One of them couldn't help but confirm: "You mean he has..."

"I don't know, I don't know anything, and I didn't say anything." Dean Thomas immediately interrupted the man's inquiry, and then persuaded a few more words, so he didn't have the idea of ​​talking to a few more people, but went to the Isolate the outside of the light curtain room and wait for the people inside to come out.

In the isolation room, Duke Belmont glared at Leo and Sylvia angrily, and said solemnly, "What do you want to do? Is this what you came here for?"

"Lord Duke, please pay attention to your tone, I don't like it." Facing Duke Belmont's question, Sylvia couldn't help frowning, not suppressing her bloodline strength, and said dissatisfiedly.

Facing the suppression of the bloodline of the superior, Duke Belmonte could not resist at all, and his aggressive attitude suddenly changed, he became cautious, and his head that was held high was lowered, even if he didn't want to do this in his heart, but his bloodline Uncontrollable made the most correct choice for him.

Leo patted Sylvia's back, motioned her to restrain her bloodline power, and then very formally said to the serious Queen Teresa and the still aggrieved Duke of Belmont: "Please don't We remain hostile, we are not your enemy, and if we are really your enemy, then we want to deal with you, and you have no chance to resist at all." At this time, his tone softened a little and continued. Said: "The reason why we are here is very simple, one is to learn the knowledge of this world and explore the secrets of this world, and the academic city is the best choice we can think of, so we came here without any other purpose. Secondly, we chose to come to Teresa Kingdom because of the Belmont family in this world," said, he paused, turned to look at Sylvia, and said, "It's up to you to say it yourself."

Sylvia nodded, looked at Queen Teresa and Duke Belmonte with mixed emotions, and said, "Actually, I learned that there are other Belmontes in this world, and they developed into a big family, My heart is very complicated, because there are only a few people left in the known Belmont of Velen, and the so-called family no longer exists."

"How is this possible?" Hearing this, Duke Belmont put down his dissatisfaction and said in disbelief, "Aren't you already a demigod? Why did the Belmont family in that world perish?"

Sylvia smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say why, but the ancestors of the Belmont family made the worst choice every time they made a crucial choice. There is an abandoned manor left, and as for the demigods, this is what happened after I came to this world, and it has no influence on the Belmont family in the Velen world."

Although the Duke of Belmont fell silent, he didn't know what to say. In the ancestral notes he had seen, the Belmont family recorded was so strong, and when he saw Sylvia, the bloodline had evolved to a demigod. After being a member of the Belmont family in the Velen world, it is natural to think that the Belmont family in that world should be better than what was recorded in the notes. After all, they have tried all kinds of methods for so many years. Being able to reach the stage of a demigod, what he never expected was that the source family that he thought was extremely powerful was already on the verge of extinction, which caused him to have extremely complicated emotions in his heart that could not be expressed at all.

Sylvia said with a serious look: "The main purpose of my coming to Teresa Kingdom is to see the Belmont family in this world and see that members of another family can multiply and grow in other worlds, which makes me feel I'm very happy." After speaking, she took off the ring of the patriarch of the Belmont family, which she always wore, and handed it to Duke Belmont, saying, "This is the ring of the patriarch of the Belmont family, after the ancestors of the family escaped from the abyss. , UU reading www.uukanshu.com is made of ore unique to the abyss, I think this ring is now handed over to you, and it should be very suitable for your family to continue to pass on."

Seeing the ring in Sylvia's hand, Duke Belmont's heart was instantly filled with ecstasy. Everything in front of him made him feel unreal. He never imagined that he was just accompanying Queen Teresa on a trip to the academic city. He was able to fulfill the long-cherished wish of his ancestors for many years.

Returning to the world of Velen and getting the patriarch's ring representing the orthodox family is a family goal that every Duke of Belmont must keep in mind, but even the current Duke of Belmont claims that the power of blood has far surpassed the previous ancestors. After he entered old age, he still didn't see any sign of fulfilling this ancestor's wish, but everything came so suddenly, the patriarch's ring was right in front of him, he only needed to reach out and get it, but that's it, he still had a kind of Like an illusion in a dream.

"I can really..." Duke Belmont looked at the ring for a long time, looked at Sylvia cautiously, and confirmed.

"Yes, you are very suitable." Sylvia smiled and nodded, and then looked at the ring in her hand with some nostalgia and reluctance, followed by not waiting for Duke Belmont to reach out, she put the ring in the other's hand, followed by He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted a heavy burden.
