The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Oak Hotel is an interesting hotel. Not only the locals think so, but everyone who tries to stay in the hotel will think so, because if you want to stay in this hotel, money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is learning. ◢щЩш.suimEnG.1a

Any visitor must answer ten questions at the front desk to check in, and these ten questions are different every time, involving astronomical geography, theology and religion, and all conceivable issues. Those who can answer these ten questions completely, even if they are not university students who have learned anything, have intellectuals of a certain level.

It is precisely because this kind of harsh accommodation conditions for most people keep most people out of the door, making the business of the hotel not looking good, and the hotel owner does not seem to care about the quality of the business. It is my perseverance that makes Oak Hotel one of the most distinctive hotels in the city of Vinaya over time.

When Leo checked in, he also answered ten questions. This is not a esoteric question, but the knowledge involved is very interesting. For example, the pattern type of an architecture, or the meaning of a certain language, or the legendary hero in a novel, etc. The problem seems to be irrelevant on the surface, but carefully pondering all the problems point to Mariss First Peterman, the founding emperor of the dynasty.

The conqueror Peterman is a slave. His legendary life can be described as magnificent. Some people compare him with the Knight of the French Empire. The only regret is that he has not completely conquered the Minsk continent throughout his life.

However, no matter how historians and writers evaluate this person, he has to admit that he is the only emperor who has the opportunity to unify the Minsk continent, and his death also means that the Minsk continent has forever lost its unity and became an empire. opportunity.

It is also because of the connection of these ten issues that Leo feels that setting up such check-in levels is not just for screening guests, I am afraid there are other purposes.

Under the leadership of the hotel waiter, Leo came to the room he was assigned. This room was a suite with a guest room, study room, bedroom and bathroom, and the scenery was as beautiful as the newspaper boy said, standing on the balcony You can get a panoramic view of the harbour, and you can see the flowers and trees in the botanical garden. The living environment is indeed very suitable.

"I want to book a ticket for the Port of Seth, Kingdom of England tomorrow." Leo also asked when he handed the tip to the waiter.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." The waiter took the tip into his pocket and replied: "In the last ten days, the Inge Kingdom held the Poseidon Festival, prohibiting all ships from sailing within the Inge Kingdom's waters. All you want Going to Port Saite, I'm afraid you need to wait for the end of the Poseidon Festival."

"Poseidon's Day?" Leo froze for a moment, and said doubtfully: "When will the Inge Kingdom have such a festival?"

The waitress replied: "It was only available five years ago, as if it was proposed by the King of England."

Leo asked again: "Isn't there a boat stowing on Poseidon Festival?"

"No one dared to sneak in." The waiter explained: "I heard that all ships trying to break into the waters of the Inge Kingdom during the Poseidon Festival were inexplicably missing, so no one dared to approach the waters of the Inge Kingdom during the Poseidon Festival."

"This kind of rumors sounds fake. Has anyone really seen a ship missing?"

"Everyone I've seen disappeared with the ship, how could it still be here." The waiter smiled and said, "But everyone has said so, and there are several freighters that often travel to the Kingdom of England. It disappeared on Poseidon Day, so everyone chose to stop all ships leading to the Inge Kingdom on Poseidon Day for the sake of insurance."

After listening to the waiter's explanation, Leo did not ask any other questions and turned to close the door, but there was a thoughtful look on his face.

Although Leo did not know what happened to this Poseidon Festival, he felt that it was related to the Poseidon scepter he had traded.

Leo did not spend much energy on this matter. For him, ten days is nothing, there is no need to be so anxious, so he feels that during this time, he continues to do things that have not been done on board, and sorts out what he has obtained now. Kind of knowledge while learning new knowledge.

Dior Browno gave Leo a book list before Leo left. Because Leo saw the importance of Gamore language, the list was almost written in Gamore language. For example, civilized books related to the Gamore language, and other academic research books about Gamore language, etc., but the most on this list are language books, these languages ​​are not analytical Gamore Language books, but various language learning books in other countries of the world.

In Dior's opinion, Leo's knowledge of Gamore language is already the world's top expert. Continue reading Gamore language research books written by other linguists will not have any effect, but I want to further analyze and add Morey can not only start from the Gamore language itself, but also needs to learn other languages ​​and master the development laws of human language, in order to further study the more complex Gamore roots.

What Leo lacks right now is the amount of knowledge related to other languages. He only knows the official languages ​​of several major countries in the world of Velon. His understanding of other small languages ​​is almost zero, so when he is in a hotel, he let the waiter help He bought various language books according to the book list to supplement his language knowledge.

Although Leo stayed in the room for a long time and did not play around in the port of Vinaya like everyone else, the people in the hotel were not surprised, because in the hotel, Leo was not the first to have this Many of the scholars who live here do not like to move around.

The hotel has also designated a special service method for such guests. Others don’t know how to use this service method. Anyway, Leo feels very comfortable. At least he can concentrate on learning and research. Other things, the only flaw is that it takes a lot of money.

However, Leo doesn't need to worry about money now. After the gang leader he solved in Miria City, he found large sums of cash and cash checks from the other party, which is enough to support his luxury consumption here.

However, after two days of calm study, a knock on the door interrupted Leo’s learning state. Leo walked out of the study, opened the door, and looked at the waiter who knocked on the door, showing an unpleasant look, saying: "Yes What's the matter?"

The waiter quickly explained: "Mr. Dodd, a gentleman hopes to get your help."

"Help? What help?" Leo looked at the waiter puzzled.

"According to our knowledge, you have a lot of research on the conqueror of the first dynasty of Marais, Peterman the Great. In our hotel, a guest who also studied the first dynasty encountered some minor problems on the subject, so we commissioned us The hotel helps to find any guests who are also engaged in the research of the first dynasty to see if they can help solve some small problems."

Leo did not turn around and asked directly: "What are my benefits?"

Perhaps it was because Leo was too direct. This waiter was also the first time to see such a scholar. He couldn’t help but stunned, but he quickly recovered and said quickly: “As long as you can solve the problem, that person The guest is willing to pay 500 Wienera dollars for a difficult problem."

Five hundred venaya dollars is already considered a very high price. According to Leo’s current room, it is only twenty venaya dollars a day. If you count some additional services, it will be at most fifty. It can be said that a difficult problem to pay fifty venetian dollars is extremely generous.

Leo thought for a while and then asked, "Isn't it the first person you are looking for?"

"You are the fifth." The waiter answered honestly.

"How many problems did the first four solve?"

"Eleven, four are left unresolved."

Leo was also interested in these difficult questions about the first dynasty of Marais, so he nodded and said, "I took the job."

"So please..." The waiter smiled, and was about to take Leo to the scholar's room.

"No need." Leo shook his head and said, "You go to get those few problems, I've finished the answer, you send it over again, I don't need to come in contact with each other."

"Uh..." The waiter was stunned for a while. "I'm afraid..."

"Since you can't make a decision, just ask if you can make a decision." Leo didn't give the other person a chance to open the door, and said, "If he doesn't want to, it's fine."

Then, hearing the sound of gradually leaving footsteps outside the door, Leo turned back to the study and continued to study the small language just now.

It didn’t take long for the knock on the door to sound again, Leo came out and opened the door, and saw the waiter standing at the door with several porters holding boxes. When he saw Leo, he immediately said: " The guest agreed to your request. The back box is the antiquities of the first dynasty. The box is written with the problem to be solved. I will wait at the door. After you have solved it, you can call me directly."

Leo didn't say much, beckoning to move things in, and after the waiter put the things in place, he turned around and went out, closing the door.

Walking to the boxes, Leo picked up the paper attached to one of the boxes and looked at what was written on it.

Before he focused on the content on the paper, he noticed the obvious fragrance of women's perfume and the strong feminine font on the paper. Although this does not prove anything, it may have been written by the scholar’s ​​maid, but Leo feels that the guess in his heart is correct. The scholar who solves an academic problem with five hundred vienna dollars should be one. Women.

Although the status of women in the Vellon world has improved a lot now, unlike the past, even literacy is not allowed, but a female scholar is still rare in the academic circles of various disciplines in the Velon world, at least among the people Leo knows It seems that only Sylvia and Anne can be regarded as scholars.

After thinking about it wildly, Leo turned his attention back to the problem itself, and soon he found that the question asked by the scholar who studied the first dynasty of Marais was very interesting. Then he opened the box and took out the Look at the ancient objects related to this issue.

This question is very simple and very interesting, which is to let Leo untie who is the user of this antique in his hand.

In general, most of the antiquities that judge users have obvious characteristics, such as the name of the user on the object, or this ancient artifact has a clear record in an ancient book. However, the problem is that the antique held in Leo's hand is just an ordinary ancient colored pottery. Its shape and style are no different from the common pottery of the first dynasty of Marais. I want to judge the belonging of the antique from the appearance of the pottery. Is impossible.

Leo took a closer look at the mottled and faded paint on the exterior of the pottery, and found no noteworthy clues on it. Then he looked at the interior of the pottery.

Although the light is a bit dark, Leo’s vision has not been affected in any way, and he can still see the inside clearly. Just like the painting outside, there is no noticeable clue in this bottle.

Leo placed the pottery on the table and sat down to think carefully.

He did not think that the scholar deliberately found an ordinary pottery to tease himself. From various circumstances, the scholar must have speculated about the owner of the pottery, but he was a little unconfident about the result of his speculation. Be able to get stronger proof from others.

Thinking of this, Leo picked up the pottery again, but this time he no longer looked at it with his eyes, but used the spirit net to explore the internal structure of the pottery, and soon he found something interesting.

On the surface, this pottery is made of clay, but in fact, the clay of this pottery is mixed with a lot of bone meal, and from these bone meal, even after so many years, there are still some weak psionic fluctuations, Bone meal should be derived from a powerful psionicist or lead dead creature. The strength mentioned here is really powerful, at least at level 6 or higher.

This discovery also made Leo couldn't help but think of a book he saw with the old man of Rembrandt~www.readwn.com~ In that book, it was mentioned that the priest of the early hill king would make a kind of sacrifice The pot thing, and making this kind of item dedicated to the sacrifice ceremony requires a rib on the priest himself.

When Leo saw this book at the time, he just thought that the rib used was a bone knife similar to an sacrificial knife. After all, the shape was very suitable, but now seeing this pottery that may be a sacrificial pot, he It was discovered that the ribs were ground into bone meal.

Leo didn't think much. After making his judgment, he directly wrote the answer on the paper.

Later, he looked at several other antiquities and the corresponding problems separately. Compared to the first sacrificial pot, the other antiquities were very easy to identify, and the problem was not difficult for Leo. Soon he It’s all done.

After instructing the waiter at the door to take all the items and answers, Leo did not continue to learn the small language, but sat at the bar in the living room, gave himself a glass of wine, and waited for something quietly.

After a while, the knock on the door rang again, Leo stepped forward to open the door, looked at the person at the door, and said, "Is there any problem?"
