The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 889: Emperor's ambition

"Did he not agree?" After learning about the Lord of the Black Forest's promise to the cavalier king, Tessa Moka couldn't help being curious, and asked Count Pipero, but after asking, he thought he asked one more Stupid question, because if the cavalier king promised the promise of the Lord of the Black Forest, then there would be no later French Empire.

Although Earl Pipero felt that there was no need to answer this question, he still responded due to his current situation: "He did not promise to become a god, because after becoming a deity of the Black Forest, he could no longer leave the Black Forest. He chose another Along the way, he decided to sign a contract with the Black Forest, which will allow the French royal family to stand on the Weilun continent forever."

Sylvia asked: "The content of this contract is that the royal family can use the power of the Black Forest in times of crisis?"

Earl Pipero replied truthfully: "There should be this one, and I am not very clear about the specific content. I just know that the contract between the royal family and the Black Forest involves two things, one is the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest, and the other is Contract Ring."

"Since it is related to blood, should the royal family all have the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest?" Sylvia asked again. She actually asked the King of the United Kingdom of France.

"It's not like that. Only the Emperor Frank has the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest. The other royal families only have the opportunity to obtain blood." Pipero explained, and after a few people could understand his explanation, he continued: " I don’t know much about the contract, but I know what Louis X is doing now."

As soon as Count Pipero's words fell, Leo immediately concluded his words, saying: "Does he want to use the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest in his body to regain the position of the **** that the Knight King gave up?"

Count Pipero was stunned. He looked at Leo somewhat at a loss. He never thought that the royal secret he thought was extremely valuable was just revealed by Leo.

After a while, he calmed down and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"It's very simple, it can be inferred from some things that the French Empire has done now." Leo responded calmly, then revealing his thoughts.

Looking at it now, the actions of the French Emperor Louis X were not allowed by the Black Forest, and may even deviate from the vows made by the Knight King and the Black Forest, so the Black Forest has to take back the relics of the vows.

This also made Leo realize that the contract ring was definitely not as simple as he had thought before, and there must be some secrets he did not know, because White Hart would even find an outsider like him to retrieve the ring, and recycle the black The blood of the Lord of the Forest, then represents that this ring is more important than the blood of the Lord of the Black Forest, which makes him wonder what kind of contract the Knight King signed with the Lord of the Black Forest.

Sylvia frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Is it just this so-called royal secret?"

"Of course not. The real secret lies in his ritual of becoming a god." Pipero added quickly: "How Louis X became a god, I don't know, but I know there is a step that must be completed, that is the year The scene where the Knight King and the Lord of the Black Forest signed the contract must be reproduced, that is, both parties to the contract, the contract token and the witness must be present." Then, he pointed to himself and said, "I am the witness Descendants of man, I am also the key to Louis X becoming a god."

After saying this, Count Pipero believed that an important chip was already in his hands, because if Sylvia or the United Kingdom wanted to destroy Louis X’s plan, he must be sent away and protected Well, although he will lose a little freedom, he doesn’t have to worry about life danger in a short time, and he is confident that as long as he is given enough time, he can control the power given by the alien cells in his body, so that he can become a normal Look like people, and then find a way to escape.

"No! You are not the key, the key is the blood descendants of the glorious noble." However, Leo soon broke the illusion of Count Pipero, saying: "Although you are the heir to the glorious noble, but his blood descended and It’s not just you, and you’ve got the alien **** cells in the real eye, the blood veins are already impure, and by that time, the French official only needs to claim that you are dead and pick another blood vein from the Pipero family A more pure clan can inherit your title."

Hearing Leo’s narrative, Count Pipero was stunned. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Obviously, the physical variation also affected his intelligence. Otherwise, he could not have imagined such an obvious loophole. This also made him understand why the secret department of the French empire was struggling to kill him, rather than trying to catch him alive, because it seemed to Louis X that he had no need to catch him alive.

Although he knew in his heart that as Leo said, he was not the only witness, but he could not admit, because this recognition he had fewer chips to protect himself, and it was not clear that Sylvia they would Will not help yourself escape from the empire.

Just when Count Pipero thought about the rebuttal, Sylvia said, "You don't have to worry about leaving the empire. Since I promised, I will abide by it. But the so-called hidden value you said is far It’s far from what I paid, so you have to pay extra.”

Count Pipero hesitated a little and asked, "What's the cost?"

"I know that although your Pepero family has territories in other places, they stay in towns such as Winter City and other royal territories all year round," Sylvia said straight away. "After so many years of operation, you Pepero The family should have established a lot of secret forces in the royal domain. You should get help from these forces when you escape, so I need you to give them to me."

"No!" Count Pipero refused to think like this, and refused: "These forces have been established little by little by the Pipero family for so many years. They are the foundation on which the Pepero family can exist forever. I will definitely not Give it to others."

"Don't worry, listen to me." Sylvia said calmly: "You are about to leave the empire. Once you leave, those forces will certainly be out of your control. Even if you don't, you can't unite. The kingdom is in control of the forces here, and as the new Earl Pipero succeeds, do you think you can continue to control these forces?"

The Earl of Pepero was silent, as Sylvia said, these forces belonging to the Pepero family will inevitably regain control of the new Earl of Pepero in the near future, as for the length of time lies in the **** When will the empire announce the new Count Pipero, and the new Count Pipero, without the guidance of the previous Count Pipero, find relevant information about those forces.

"I can give you a list of those who have not yet been discovered by the empire, but I cannot guarantee that each of them is very loyal, and they are all loyal to Count Pipero, once the French Empire announces a new Piper Count Luo, then you are likely to be betrayed if you come in contact with them."

Sylvia said calmly: "You don't have to worry about it, you just need to give me the list. As for how to deal with them and how to make them obedient, it's our own business."

Seeing that Sylvia was so firm, Count Pipero said nothing more, and then a dozen names were reported, and the characters represented by these names involved all walks of life in the royal kingdom of France. There are no shortage of royal merchants who specialize in providing supplies for the royal family, and some craftsmen at the bottom of the society.

After recording these lists, Sylvia wanted Count Piperro to raise some questions concerning the list of these characters, as much as possible to understand the situation of these people, so as to facilitate the control of them after they have infiltrated into the royal kingdom of France in the near future. Help yourself to act.

During this time, Leo did not stay in the villa anymore, but left the villa and drove towards the city of Rutham located on the south side of the town of Cambe. According to the information received by Moning, the whole of Sardinia except Saskatchewan Outside Dingcheng, only Rutham City has a black market.

Because no one else was holding back his speed, Leo was able to rush to the road at full speed, and after coming out of the villa, he had arrived in Rutham City in less than twenty minutes.

Just like most other cities in the French Empire, the central area of ​​Rutham City is still a huge knight fortress. All the streets and roads are built around the knight fortress. The entire city is shaped like a Irregular concentric circles.

There is no city wall on the periphery of the city, which makes it impossible to prevent outsiders from entering the city even at night, but I don’t know whether it is because of this system, or because the mutants frequently appear in the city. There are a lot of city police and policemen who go back and forth. They will not check the identity documents of the people who come and go. Their only target is the kind of people who cover up with clothing.

Before Leo entered the city, through the control of the body muscles and the use of the power of the faceless person, his whole body became shorter, and his face became a square face, and his body was strong and intentional. Wear the weapon on your body and expose it to the outside, looking like a bounty hunter.

In the French empire, although the main force to deal with those who are out of control is the secret department of the French empire, there are also some bounty hunters who come for the bounty, and Ruthem, the second largest city in Sardinia The city has also become a gathering place for bounty hunters in the surrounding villages and towns. People dressed like him are not uncommon in Rutham City, and the military police and police also know their identity. As long as they do not take the initiative to make trouble, the military police and police generally Won't trouble them.

With the changed appearance and shape, Leo easily entered Rutham City, and according to Moning's account, he found the entrance to the black market.

In fact, there is no need for Moning’s narrative at all, and Leo can also find the black market, because after he entered the city, he saw no less than two batches of bounty hunters, and several of them also exude obvious energy. Fluctuation should be extraordinary.

The place they went to was the black market of Rutham City, just like Leo, and the place where this black market was located was very special, just inside Rutham City's largest underground arena.

The place where Rutham City is located was originally a virgin forest. It is one of the coldest places south of the Vinoway Mountains every winter. It is a typical bitter cold place, so it is also a place of exile for prisoners.

All the prisoners who are exiled here have to do is to cut down the wood, and these things can only be done in summer and autumn, because in winter and spring, the trunk will be as hard as the stone because of the climate, so it is difficult to cut, so winter and spring Even prisoners have nothing to do, they can only stay in the prison camp and wait for the coming summer.

In order to allow these prisoners to have something to do in the long winter and spring seasons, to vent their excess experience and avoid creating trouble for the garrison army, the warden at the prison camp at that time built a small arena by himself and then took out some Money and materials are used as rewards to the final judge among the prisoners participating in the competition.

Although this arena was a sudden whimsy of the warden at that time, and even that warden was impeached by the imperial congressman for this matter, but this arena was completely preserved, and with the Development, continuous reconstruction, and finally became one of the most unique entertainment activities in Rutham City. Although it is not well-known in the country, anyone who comes here to travel will know more or less about the arena.

Tonight, this arena is hosting two competitive events. These two competitive events are not the kind of **** competitions with swords, but two ball games that have been very popular in the French Empire in recent years. .

Leo's black market is in the underground ground below the arena~www.readwn.com~This was originally a lounge for competitive performers, because in the early years some competitions were **** competitions where hundreds of people fought, and the arena needs a place to wait The resting place of the athletes who entered, so someone proposed to hollow out the underground of the arena and transform it into such a lounge.

Because the people who participated in the killing of hundreds of people in the early days were all prisoners, this lounge was also built like a prison. Even if it is renovated by the black market, it still has the shadow of the prison.

Leo did not accept any test when he entered the black market. From the perspective of those bounty hunters who first entered it, even ordinary people can come in here, so in this black market, he saw a different place from other black markets. That is, the number of ordinary people in this black market far exceeds the extraordinary.

And because of the large number of ordinary people, this black market is more like an ordinary trading market. Various hawkers put their own things on the ground, not waiting for people with foresight to find them, but shouting loudly. , To attract the attention of bounty hunters, and the sales items they put on the ground are just ordinary weapons, not to mention the magical objects of the wizard, even if they are not related to the mystery.
