The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"It's still alive!" Looking at the skeleton of the abyss dragon, Sylvia suddenly said.

Inside the carriage, Earl Belmont didn't understand Sylvia's meaning for a while, and was stunned for a while, but Leo and the old duke understood.

Leo didn't seem particularly surprised, because the moment he saw the skeleton of the abyss dragon, he felt a strong life energy from the skeleton. For this reason, he used the power of the true eye to look at the skeleton for the first time and found the skeleton. The energy of the abyss dragon is wrapped around it, and these energies just combine to form an abyss dragon energy body.

As for the old duke, he was extremely surprised by Sylvia's words, because only he knew of the secret family whose skeleton was still alive, and this was also the biggest secret that the Belmont family patriarchs had to keep.

"Too weak, there is only one young dragon!" Sylvia said again.

As Sylvia said, although the skeleton of the abyss dragon looks very scary, it is still too small compared to the real abyss dragon, and its bloodline power is stronger than that of Sylvia. It is only superior in quantity, but far behind in quality.

Leo saw all of this very clearly, and said solemnly: "Although it is only a young dragon, its bloodline is extremely pure. For the Belmont family, especially for those young people whose blood is not pure enough. A member of the Belmont family, the bloodline of the abyss demon dragon cub is more than enough." After speaking, he looked at the old duke and said, "If I am not mistaken, this so-called sacrificial ceremony should be intended to use this young dragon. come to baptize the next generation of your Belmont family?"

Seeing Leo revealing the biggest secret of his family so easily, the faces of the old duke and his son couldn't help but turn a little gloomy, but they soon recovered, thinking that they also understood that this secret could not be hidden from Leo. , Even if Leo can't see it now, when he participates in the ceremony soon, Leo will also know the secret.

"How did you get this cub of the abyss demon dragon?" Sylvia asked very curiously: "As far as I know, the abyss demon dragon will not leave the abyss dragon nest until it becomes an adult."

"Indeed, the memories we have inherited do tell us that the cubs of the abyss demon dragon cannot leave the dragon's nest before they reach adulthood, let alone leave the abyss." Since the biggest secrets have been seen by Leo, the old duke also feels that there are no other things. It was necessary to hide it, so he happily explained: "But there are exceptions to everything, you must know that any abyss creature, even a superior species like the abyss dragon, can't get rid of their deep-rooted greed, as long as the bait is attractive enough. People, even the cautious abyss dragon will take the bait."

Although the old duke explained that the method of obtaining the abyss dragon cubs is like fishing, he still has reservations about the details, especially what is used as bait to lure the abyss dragon cubs, and how to get them in this world He did not say the key points such as the location of the abyss demon dragon cub in the abyss.

However, even so, Sylvia quickly thought of the name of a building in Moore City, and therefore thought of something that was very likely to be used as a bait, and asked in a deep voice: "You have scarlet on your hands. stone?"

Seeing that Sylvia thought of the item as bait so quickly, the old duke was also a little surprised. At the same time, he nodded and acknowledged Sylvia's guess and slightly corrected it, saying, "It's not that I have the scarlet stone, it was at that time. Have."

Leo, who has some memories of the abyss snake, also knows very well what scarlet stone means to the abyss dragon. If there is anything in the abyss that can make the abyss dragon cub lose all reason and rush out of the dragon's nest desperately, Rush out of the abyss and venture into other worlds, then the scarlet stone is an extremely important growth treasure for the cubs of the abyss dragon.

Scarlet stone will only be produced when a world is broken. It is said that the last source left before the destruction of a world merges with the breath of the abyss, which contains the essence of the abyss.

The scarlet stone is of no use to other abyss upper races, at best it is just a beautiful decoration, but for the abyss dragon, especially the cub of the abyss dragon, a complete scarlet stone can be saved. The abyss dragon grows for a long time, enough for an abyss dragon cub to pass the most dangerous infancy and directly approach or even enter adulthood.

It is conceivable that when someone took out the scarlet stone as a bait, even if the cub of the abyss demon dragon knew that there was a trap hidden in it, it would rush forward desperately to bite the hook.

Although the old duke did not introduce the situation at that time in detail, both Leo and Sylvia could hear from that sentence that there were other people besides the Belmont family at that time, and this person not only took out the scarlet stone, but also Help the Belmont family capture the abyss dragon cub and imprison it here.

Leo suddenly thought that the scarlet stone can be said to be a secret treasure of the abyss. Basically, it will not appear in other worlds. Even if it does appear, it is impossible to stay for a long time. After all, the scarlet stone contains the essence of the abyss. Entering other worlds will inevitably trigger the laws of the world. backlash.

Therefore, when the Belmont family was able to use the scarlet stone as a bait, there was only one possibility, and they asked: "Is the person who cooperated with you to capture the abyss dragon from the abyss?"

The old duke didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

"What did you pay?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

It is absolutely impossible for any abyss race to do good deeds and help others, and even people like the Belmont family with the blood of the abyss upper race cannot have such behaviors, so it is not difficult to guess that at that time If the Belmont family did not pay a great price, it would be impossible to obtain the help of the abyss superior, and it would not be possible to obtain scarlet stone as bait from the other party.

"A small price." The old duke also did not answer directly, but simply responded.

However, no matter how stupid people are, they can hear the old duke's insincere response. There is no doubt that the Belmont family paid a great price, but they don't know whether the price is one-time or continuous.

If it's a one-off, it's fine, it will only be painful and difficult for a period of time, but if it's ongoing, is the current Belmont family still repaying the debt?

Leo and Sylvia both thought about this, and looked at each other and exchanged views secretly, but they did not continue to ask, because this matter may have involved the core interests of the Belmont family, even if Sylvia is also the Belmont family, but this distant relationship is not enough for the Belmont family here to let go of all family secrets.

The few people in the car did not talk anymore, and Leo and Sylvia also focused on the lava lake in the crater.

Although it is impossible for any life to exist in a lava lake under normal circumstances, this lava lake is different now. I don’t know whether this lava lake is extremely special, or because of the influence of the abyss demon dragon cub. Some very special life forms are also bred in the lava lake.

For example, a lava worm similar to an earthworm has a layer of obsidian shell growing on the surface of the lava worm, which seems to have the effect of insulating heat and helping the lava worm to drill in the lava.

In addition, some fiery red flowers grew on the cracked shell condensed on the surface of the lava. These flowers looked like plants. In fact, when they were scanned by Leo's spiritual network, they found that these flowers were more like animals disguised as animals. plant,

In addition to the creatures nurtured by these lava lakes, there are also some Belmont family members wearing special heat-insulating suits, stepping on the solidified black shells on the surface of the lava lake, catching and picking those lava creatures, sometimes in order to catch drills. They also need to jump into the unsolidified lava to catch the lava worms that have entered the lava. Judging from their skilled methods, it is obvious that this kind of thing has been done many times, and this kind of work improves the purity of their bloodlines. It also seems to have great benefits.

Although the road was narrow, the carriage was not slow at all, and soon they came to the Belmont family castle in the lava lake.

At this time, Leo and Sylvia also saw the skeletons of some abyss dragons on the gate of the castle and some other important buildings, including several skulls of abyss dragons. Judging from the aura of the residual strength, these abyss dragons that have really turned into skeletons should also be young dragons before their death.

As felt on the road of the lava lake, the temperature in the Belmont family castle is also very cool. After entering the castle, you can't feel that it is on the lava lake. In the gardens of the castle, some temperature requirements are even planted. Extremely harsh plants, no matter how you look at them, make people feel that they are somewhat inconsistent with the surrounding environment.

When the carriage stopped at the main entrance square of the castle, there were already servants such as the castle steward and the head maid waiting there. They already knew that the old duke was going out to greet the guests, but they didn't know who the guests were. They didn't feel a little surprised until they saw Sylvia getting off the carriage.

As servants of the castle, even if they do not have the last name Belmont, they are very closely related to the Belmont family. They also have the blood of the Belmont family, and even some of them are more pure than the direct family members in terms of bloodlines. To be pure, plus their positions are tenure, so they all know the Belmont family very well, especially those family members they care for.

The royal family of Teresa will live in Belmont Castle for a period of time before they reach adulthood. This period may be a few years or a dozen years, and the daily life of the royal family is also taken care of by these castle servants. There were even a few old maids who used to be Queen Teresa's personal servants, so when Sylvia appeared, everyone mistook Sylvia for Queen Teresa.

In the crowd, the maids who were in charge of taking care of Queen Teresa stepped forward as usual, ready to stand beside Sylvia and wait for her orders, but just after taking two steps, they all stopped. And looked at Sylvia with some doubts.

As Queen Teresa's personal maids at Belmont Castle, they have been with Queen Teresa and have been in charge of her daily life for decades. It can even be said that Queen Teresa was by her side when she was a child. Take care of her, so as far as they know Queen Teresa, they know Queen Teresa better than anyone in the Belmont family, even Queen Teresa's parents and friends.

Although at the beginning, Sylvia's almost identical appearance was extremely deceptive and deceived these maids, but after taking a few steps closer, the maids immediately felt that something was wrong, because the appearance was the same , could not cover up the huge gap in temperament between the two, these maids immediately realized that the person in front of them was not Queen Teresa.

The old duke took full notice of the reactions of the maids of Queen Teresa, nodded approvingly, and then took the initiative to introduce before the maids asked questions: "These two are Mr. Leo Dodd and Xi Jinping. Ms. Sylvia Belmonte is a very important guest, and the two of them will be treated as I treat them for the rest of their stay in the castle..."

After very cautiously telling the servants the importance of Leo and Sylvia's identities, the old duke waved to the maids who took care of Queen Teresa and introduced them to Sylvia and Leo. It means that these maids are responsible for their daily life during the two days in the castle, and then instruct the maids to lead the two to the Hundred Flowers Garden that has been prepared for them.

Leo and Sylvia were not in a hurry to see the collection of books in the castle, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com were not in a hurry to go to the abyss demon dragon cub, but obeyed the old duke's suggestion and arranged it first. The other two also got badges representing their identities from the old duke. With this badge, they can go to most places in the castle, including some forbidden places.

On the way to lead the two to the Garden of Hundred Flowers, the maids introduced the castle to the two as usual, but they still looked at Sylvia secretly while introducing them, and their eyes were full of curiosity. After all, Sylvie Aya and Queen Teresa are so similar that if they hadn't determined who Queen Teresa's parents were, they might have mistakenly thought Queen Teresa was Sylvia's daughter.

Sylvia didn't care about the actions of these maids secretly looking at it. While listening to the maids' introduction to the castle, she inquired about the Belmont family in a timely manner, but these maids were very alert and did not reveal anything. useful information.

On the contrary, Leo, who has been silent, discovered some secrets of Belmont Castle. He found that the interior of Belmont Castle was actually composed of fragments of warp planes, and these fragments have been integrated into this world and become part of the world. , but the fragment still retains some space capacity, which makes the entire castle look much larger inside than the outside
