The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Have you really made up your mind?" Dean Andris was a little regretful, but also had some expectations. Although he knew that others had persuaded Leo, it was just a matter of routine for him to come, but he still hoped that Leo would change his mind. .

Leo nodded and said: "Yes, I will sort out the relevant information in the next two days, and then I will leave the academic city and go to the Middle Kingdom area."

Just two days ago, Leo returned to the Academic City from the Belmont Castle Territory alone, while Sylvia stayed with the Belmont Family and assisted the people there to move to the new Castle Territory.

After returning to the academic city, Leo expressed his intention to leave the academic city to Dean Thomas.

Dean Thomas is naturally trying his best to keep it, because the research on the relics of prehistoric civilization has just begun. If Leo leaves, it will definitely have a great impact on the research, and Leo is also the owner of those items. Will he leave? Those research items were also taken away, which was something that Dean Thomas was very concerned about.

However, Dean Thomas quickly dispelled his concerns, because Leo had promised that among the relics of prehistoric civilization, except for a few items that would be taken away by him, all other items would be donated to the academic city, and he would also Before leaving, keep his research materials on related items for reference by scholars who continue to engage in research.

After getting Leo's promise, Dean Thomas still thinks it's not bad. Although there may be some problems and obstacles in related research without the assistance of Leo, the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, as long as the relics of prehistoric civilization can remain Come down, no matter how big the problem is.

However, when he saw the research materials that Leo wrote through one night, he immediately regretted it, because he found that Leo's research on the relics of prehistoric civilizations seemed to have reached a level far beyond imagination. If you continue to join the research, it will definitely help the academic city's research projects in the area of ​​prehistoric civilization relics to achieve a leap forward, and it is not impossible to even become a holy place for the research of prehistoric civilization relics.

Therefore, his thoughts also changed, and he tried every means to persuade Leo to stay and continue related research, and even made it clear that if Leo was willing to stay, his identity as the foreign dean would also be taken out, and he was willing to be Leo's Assistant, assist Leo's research.

However, all of this was in vain. Leo never changed his words. As a last resort, he took the research materials written by Leo and found Dean Andris of the inner court, hoping that Dean Andris could help him together. Convinced Leo, and Dean Andris had the same idea as Dean Thomas after seeing the information, and was even more radical than Dean Thomas in the method of retaining Leo.

After meeting Leo, the first sentence of Dean Andris was the retention condition he offered. If anyone in the academic city heard this condition, he would be shocked, because Dean Andris said that if Leo If you are willing to stay, then both the internal and external dean of the academy can be handed over to Leo, which means Leo will become the only dean of the academic city.

I have to say that when Dean Andris offered this condition, Leo was also a little surprised, and even had the slightest idea of ​​agreeing. After all, this condition is too tempting.

From the first dean, the position of the dean of the academic city has been divided into two, and there is no longer a single dean who can hold all the rights of the academic city. If Leo agrees to the conditions of Dean Andris, Then he will truly master all the rights of the Academic City, and relatively obtain all the resources that the Academic City has accumulated over the years.

This kind of resource is not only a material resource, but also a network resource. It is no exaggeration to say that the scholars trained by the academic city cover almost all human civilization regimes in the world, and they are either in a city in a kingdom. As the dean or tutor in the academy, or directly join the government agencies of some kingdoms to hold various rights.

These scholars may not have much influence in their respective positions if only viewed as a single individual, but if these scholars are linked together, then the power they form will be terrifying, even those The influence of the True God Church is incomparable, and this is one of the main reasons why Academic City can stand in this world and not be suppressed by the True God Church.

Now that such a power with great influence is within easy reach, no matter how good Leo's mentality is, he will be shaken involuntarily, and also just shaken, he will give a response of refusal.

Seeing that Leo rejected his proposal, Dean Andris was naturally full of regrets, but he was also a little relieved, because he was a little impulsive when he offered this condition, and now he calms down afterwards. After careful consideration, he realized that he was a bit reckless. If Leo really agreed to his proposal, he might have a headache for this proposal for a long time, and even regret it in the future.

After a routine persuasion, Dean Andris got up and left, and told other scholars not to disturb Leo, so that Leo could be in the best state in the past two days, and put those in his mind related to the ruins of prehistoric civilization. The research data remains intact.

In the next two days, Leo sorted out most of the research data on the items called the relics of prehistoric civilizations and the actual cosmic civilization devices. These data are actually some simple instructions for use and language comparison tables, which seem to have a lot of content. And informative, but not really difficult.

After sorting out these materials, Leo left without saying hello to the people in the academic city. When Dean Thomas and others found out, he was already outside the Kingdom of Teresa.

However, after leaving the academic city, Leo found Joan and Penny through the imprint contact. At this time, both of them have established a firm foothold in their respective organizations, although Leo has more important things at this moment. He was not very interested in the organization, but he did not let the two leave the organization, but let them choose whether to stay in the organization or go to the Belmont family to assist Sylvia.

Joan and Penny discussed it and felt that being around Leo and Sylvia could not play a role. They all chose to stay in the organization and continued to gain rights in the organization according to the original plan.

Leo was noncommittal about the decision of the two, but before leaving, he taught them the complete training and usage of their respective strengths, and added another protection mark to Joan's implant. In order to avoid the mutation of the implant.

After solving all kinds of chores, Leo directly used his psionic wings to fly in the direction of the Middle Kingdom area. During the flight, although he passed the capital of Teresa Kingdom, he did not stop. Come down, but pass by the capital. At this moment, in his eyes, there is nothing more important than restoring the power of the stone throne to the origin of his soul.

The Middle Kingdom area is a bit far from the Teresa Kingdom, with four or five kingdoms in between. Just like its name, this area is indeed in the middle of the old continent.

This area is composed of a large impact plain. This plain is called the Atoran Plain, which is the largest plain in the entire old continent. The Tabla River and the Linden River divide the entire plain into three, and the tributaries derived from the two rivers. A criss-crossing water network is formed, and the three large plains are subdivided into several small plains.

It is precisely because the water network in the Middle Kingdom area is so developed that the water transportation industry here is also very prosperous. Basically, no one travels here on land, and they all use faster and more comfortable water transportation. Winning and losing points are also focused on competing for a certain waterway.

The west and north of this plain are endless mountains, while in the east and south are dense forests. It is said that both the mountains here and the dense forests were the habitat of some mysterious races a long time ago. , those races have left various legends here, and these legends have long been forgotten due to factors such as long time and lack of evidence.

However, in fact, these legendary mysterious races are real, but with the rapid and powerful expansion of the human race, these mysterious races have chosen to migrate to the New World, and now they are hiding in the deepest part of the New World.

The reason why these mysterious races choose to leave their homes and migrate to the new world is not because they don't want to conflict with the rising human beings, but because they have already had conflicts with human beings, but they have failed, so they have to migrate to avoid their own The ethnic groups were driven out and killed by humans, and the relevant conflicts can be found in those widely circulated legends and stories.

However, although those mysterious races left, many of those mysterious races still stayed. Some of them stayed voluntarily, but most of them stayed passively because of their captive or slave status. The people of these mysterious races gradually integrated into human society, intermarryed each other, and their blood was integrated into the human race in the Middle Kingdom region.

It is precisely because of this that people with peculiar looks can often be seen in the Middle Kingdom area. At the same time, the Middle Kingdom area also has the most people with extraordinary power. Almost all the Church of the True God has set up important temples and chapels here, which are specially responsible for recruiting. Those who have inspired extraordinary powers, and those who have not inspired but have great potential.

If you calculate carefully, you will find that nearly 70% of the Popes or Archbishops of the Church of the True God are from the Middle Kingdom region. It is precisely because the Middle Kingdom region is so important to the Church of the True God that the Church of the True God will never allow it. See a real kingdom emerge in this area.

Although the name of the Middle Kingdom area has the word kingdom, there has never been a real kingdom in this area. Even the so-called Middle Kingdom that originally named this area was actually just a gathering of those great lords at that time. It’s just a joke to myself and others after the alliance. The Middle Kingdom does not have a real national structure and government organization. Even the so-called countries that are now established in this area are just a loose lord alliance structure, not a kingdom. Architecture.

The reason for such a situation is that, on the one hand, it is because of the secret interference of the Church of True God and other forces, and on the other hand, it is because there has never been a heroic figure enough to convince the crowd in this region that has been fighting every year. The lord of , completes the transformation from the lord alliance to the kingdom system.

The lords of the Middle Kingdom are also very aware of the situation here, and in the past so many years, there has never been a lack of people trying to change the status quo in the Middle Kingdom, and even the best of these people established a so-called Middle Kingdom, and eventually The Middle Kingdom also quickly disintegrated into various lords large and small after his death.

However, despite numerous failures, there are still people trying to accomplish the feat of unifying the Middle Kingdom region. In recent years, the one who has come closest to this goal is the Protector Barbarisa.

The sudden emergence of Barbarisa has quelled most of the wars in the Middle Kingdom in a short period of time. He was honored as the protector of the country by several countries including his country of origin and countless lords. Push him to the apex of power and unify the Middle Kingdom region.

But to everyone's surprise, Barbarisa suddenly gave up all the rights in his hands, and only retained the title of Protector and the related territories, and did not listen to the instigation of those lords.

For those little lords and ordinary people who don't know the truth, Barbarisa's actions are undoubtedly extremely stupid, and even Barbarisa has become a tavern in the Middle Kingdom for a long time. Synonymous with fools, but for those who know the history of the Middle Kingdom region extremely well, Barbarisa's choice is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Because if he did not make such a choice, but launched a unified war against the Middle Kingdom region according to the wishes of those agitators at that time, then what awaited him would be endless assassinations and betrayals, and those so-called staunch supporters would also He will be abandoned for various reasons, and in the end his end will be ruined and discredited, instead of losing a lot of power as he is now, he is still the most respected protector in the Middle Kingdom by the lords, still Has extraordinary influence.

With his reputation in the Middle Kingdom region, Barbarisa often travels with his family. All Barbarisa's protector castles are often in a state of no owner. Fortunately, he has a very loyal steward, servants and troops. When he left, he still ensured the normal operation of the castle and did not occupy the magpie's nest, which also made many people highly respect Barbarisa's royal ability.

However, recently, Barbarisa's ability to be under his command has been challenged, because he found out that the steward in charge of part of his property had betrayed him. After selling the property, he ran away with the money.
