The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Count Pipero?" Leo heard this familiar name, and soon the relevant information appeared in his mind, and he was also surprised to confirm: "The Count of Glory of the French Empire?"

Because of the need to infiltrate into the direct territory of the royal family of the French Empire, where a large number of nobles settled, Sylvia had previously taught Leo a lot of things about the French nobles.

Among the French nobles mentioned by Sylvia, some nobles were singled out and highlighted by her, and the hereditary earl Pipero, known as the glory of Frank, is one of them.

As for why Pepero is called Frangian glory, the only thing I know is that Pepero's family was already a noble of the Franial royal family during the first dynasty of the French, and the knight king was able to rebel from that year. Under the hunt, the escape is said to be due to the assistance of the Pepero family, and it is precisely because of the unusual relationship with the royal family of the Français, so the Pepero family and the royal family have been married several times, and the blood of the royal family in the body .

However, in recent generations, the Pepero family has shown signs of decay. Not only has the family heirs reduced, even the family power and industry have failed. The worst of these was the ocean-going fleet invested by the previous generation Earl Pipero .

When the fleet returned to Flang with a large amount of precious materials from the mainland of Mozambique, it encountered a sudden storm. The entire fleet of 24 ships sank, and the property of the Pepero family lost nearly three-thirds. Second, the Pepero family also had to sell some real estate to fill the lost holes. The former Earl Pipero was so sick that he died of bed after two years of panting in bed.

However, after the son of the former Earl of Pepero inherited the Earl's title, the decline of the Pepero family was barely stopped because of the royal care. Although it did not improve, it did not deteriorate, and it also allowed the Pepero family to Members maintain decent nobility.

The reason why the current Earl Pipero is not inherited by the eldest son or second son, but by the younger son who is not very old, the main reason is that this young son has royal blood.

The younger son’s mother was the third wife of the former Earl Pipero. She was a royal servant and had been married twice. One husband died of illness and the other husband died of an accident. She inherited the property of two husbands. One of the richest women in France at that time.

At that time, the rumors about this woman and the former Earl Pepero were hot talks among the French people after tea, and almost everyone thought that the death of the woman’s first two husbands was caused by the woman, in order to legally inherit the huge sum of those two people. heritage.

The Earl of Pipero was willing to marry this widow who was married twice, also for the money of the widow, because the condition of the Pipero family was not good at the time, and after the former Pipero family got married, the Pipero family The situation began to improve a few years later, and even formed the largest private ocean-going fleet at that time.

In addition, after the death of the former Count Pipero, the widow was also assassinated, and the assassin has not been found so far, but many people suspect that it was the Count Pipero’s eldest son, who was in charge of the financial power of the Pipero family. The woman is the biggest obstacle to his succession to the earl.

However, after the widow's death, the royal family uncharacteristically intervened in the inheritance dispute of Count Pepero on the grounds of the murder of the members of the royal family. What agreement made them voluntarily give up the right of inheritance, and finally made Count Pipero's title fall on the younger than three years old.

Many people speculated that the reason why the royal family did this was to control the Count Pepero family through their young sons, and the result was that as they thought, the Count Pepero family began to be replaced by the servants of the royal family. The family industry is also monitored by the royal family. Although the overall economic status of the Pepero family is recovering, in fact, the Pepero family has almost been annexed by the royal family.

Sylvia will focus on the declining old Flange nobleman, not because it has become a force in the French royal family, but because of Count Pipero himself.

Just like the marriage with the royal family, the early Earl Pipero had more than one alliance with a noble marriage, and the Belmont family was also among them, so if the test is to be related to blood, then Earl Pipero is also considered Sylvia. The expression from afar.

It is precisely because of this relationship that one of the ancestral books in the Belmont family collection once mentioned the Pepero family.

In that book, it was recorded that in addition to the title of glory in the early years of the Pepero family, there was also the name of a witness, but I did not know what to witness, and the title of this witness was not after several generations of Count Pipero. Someone said that the vast majority of people only know the Earl of Glory, not the Earl of Witness

However, there has never been a public opinion about the origin of the title of this witness, but when referring to Earl Pipero, Sylvia had guessed that this witness might be a witness to some kind of signing between the Knight King and the Black Forest. Agreement or contract, because when the term "witness" appeared, it happened that after the Knight King reunified the flange, the two seemed to be somewhat connected.

At this moment, Sylvia also had an incredible expression. She could not understand why Count Piperro, a puppet, would become a clan, and why she would be chased by the secret operations of the French Empire.

Leo seemed to have thought of something at this time, and said his guess that Count Pipero was a real eye clan.

Alian Zhou of Sylvia frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it was the strange **** cells that the Royal Family of France implanted with real eyes on him?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "Save him awake and restore him to reason, maybe we can get the body of the real eye from him."

"I think the real eye is not in the hands of the French royal family." Sylvia suddenly raised a different opinion, but instead of continuing, he asked instead: "Is there any way to save him?" "

"The injuries on his body are easy to solve, and a bottle of healing medicine can make him recover very often." Leo looked at the unconscious mutant and thought about it, said: "The important thing is that he is affected after the mutation. I don’t know if he can recover, but I can try it."

"How to try?" Sylvia asked, puzzled.

Leo will use the real eye imprint to trigger the power of the real eye in Count Pipero's body, and let the other party's mutation status weaken.

"This method can be tried." Sylvia nodded and then said: "However, in order to avoid accidents, first bind him better."

Just when Sylvia's voice fell, the mutant lying on the ground opened his eyes and said weakly: "I think it would be better not to be bound."

Seeing the mutator awake, Sylvia, Leo and Tessa Moka did not show any surprised look. Obviously they all made some subtle changes from the mutator and found that the other party has been out of the coma, and just now The dialogue between Sylvia and Leo was also deliberately told to him.

"It's been a long time, Sylvia." Count Piperro and Sylvia seem to be old-fashioned, and they didn't show any panic when they saw this great rebellion in the top ten wanted criminals in the French Empire. On the contrary, he was very calm and said, "This is the third time I have seen you standing in front of me as Sylvia. It used to be Moposan."

"Noca, what's the matter?" Sylvia did not call the other party's title, but called the other party's real name, and asked directly: "Although the royal family of France always wanted to annex the Pepero family, But you shouldn’t be so hungry! You should use alien cells to turn you into a runaway family..."

"You made a mistake! It wasn't the royal family that became the clan, it was myself." Pipero interrupted Sylvia's words and said an unexpected answer, then he slowly sat up from the ground, Say: "Can you give me some food? I haven't eaten in days."

"Aren't you eating people?" Tessa Moka, who hadn't spoken, suddenly asked.

"Cannibalism?" Count Piperro said disgustedly: "It's disgusting! I'm not crazy, how can I eat humans!"

Sylvia brought in some of the food that Mourning had prepared for them, and brought some water to pass over, and asked, "Did you mutate into that kind of monster, did you lose your mind?"

"Of course not. You know, it took me all my savings for so many years," Count Pipero took the food and water and said while eating. "Although my mutation looks like it is completely out of control, but in fact There was no Io, I didn’t hear the evil god’s murmur, the spirit was not influenced by the evil god, as they said, this is the perfect alien cell.” He paused and swallowed the food in his mouth with water. Next, he said: "The only flaw is that once it is completely mutated, it is very difficult to restore to the adult form. If there is no other choice, I will not be completely mutated. I thought that I would finish my life in the form of a monster. , But I didn't expect..."

With that, he looked at Leo, and he didn't save any more. From the conversation just now, he can already be sure that he can get rid of this mutant monster completely. Leo.

"Where did you get your alien cells?" Leo asked.

"I don't know." Count Pipero shook his head, and then worried that Leo didn't believe his words. He added to explain: "When I saw the man, it was late at night, and the man suddenly appeared on my bedside out of thin air. Go on, and then tell me that I want to sell something to me, that thing is alien cells that can give me great power."

Sylvia frowned and said very displeasedly: "A stranger suddenly appeared on your bedside and said he would sell something to you, and then you bought it with all the property that had been secretly accumulated over the years. That thing, and it was used without knowing whether it was dangerous or not. Noca, are you thinking we are a fool?"

After hearing Sylvia's extremely dissatisfied words, Count Pipero smiled bitterly, because he now thinks about the behavior at that time, and also feels a bit incredible.

However, he continued to explain: "Although it sounds ridiculous, it is a fact. For me at that time, there was no other choice, or it was like a crippled person staying in bed and being controlled for decades. , Lose the value of use, and become the former Earl of Pipero, or just bet on a bet, maybe I will be able to reap a livelihood. It seems that I am right."

"Do you really have no clue?" Sylvia didn't believe him, and said blankly.

Earl Pipero smiled a little embarrassedly. The swollen nail-sized sacs on his face made him look very cruel, and then he heard him say: "I do have some clues, and it is only out of who he is, but I This news cannot directly tell you, you must let me leave the empire safely, I will tell you. I think this should not be difficult for you?"

"It's not really difficult, but I don't want to do it. I suddenly wasn't interested in your business." Sylvia obviously didn't plan to do what the other party thought, and directly rejected the other party's proposal, and then toward Leo Said: "I still have to trouble you to take a trip, where to find him, then send him back, and by the way, let him return to his original state."

"It's really troublesome," Leo knew Sylvia's ideas very well, and he said in coordination: "It's just a matter of solving him. Just because we need a pass for what we want to do, just treat him as that. The pass is ready~www.readwn.com~Sylvia is pretending to be contemplative. After thinking for a moment, she is preparing to nod.

"Wait, wait!" Pipero hurriedly stopped Sylvia, and then looked at her and Leo, although he was very sure that Sylvia was interested in the news in his hands, would not He really took action on himself, but he didn't dare to gamble at all, because if the gamble was wrong, then he was really over.

So, he decided to give his clues out. Although this would make him lose one of the most useful swear words, at least temporarily he would not be in danger of life, and with his knowledge of Sylvia’s character, he himself said After having useful information for her, she will definitely not let her stay here, and will definitely find a way to send it to the United Kingdom, which is also equivalent to accepting her previous suggestions in disguise. Of course, the premise of all this is the information he said The information is useful.

"The person who traded with me accidentally revealed some collars and cuffs," Pipero calmed down, recalled a little, and said: "The way of knitting collars and cuffs is very special. Only one tailor shop in the entire French empire will use that ancient weaving technique. I deliberately went to that tailor shop to buy clothes and peeked at the account book in their shop. According to the account book, the entire empire has only had A nobleman made an aristocratic suit using knitting techniques. That nobleman is your Belmont family."
