The Mysterious World Under Steampunk Chapter 1488

Dashu Town is a temporary town built by refugees who migrated to the Kingdom of Teresa in the early years. It was abandoned several times in the middle. It was later reactivated because of a shortcut to the mountains starting from here. After so many years of development, it has become a small town. A small town.

Although the town of Big Tree is nominally owned by the Kingdom of Aden on the south side of the High Wall Mountains, it is actually controlled by the Kingdom of Teresa, and even the guards in the town are from the army of the Kingdom of Teresa. Only the mayor Youya Appointed by the Kingdom of Dian, but the mayor does not have real power, only a nominal manager.

Just like the other kingdoms around the High Wall Mountains, the Kingdom of Aden is also a subordinate country of the Kingdom of Teresa, and the Kingdom of Teresa controls these dependent countries, let alone the jurisdiction of a border town. It is not difficult even to completely annex these subordinate countries. After all, the army and officials of these subordinate countries are mostly troublesome with the mercenary regiments of the Kingdom of Teresa and scholars from the Academic City.

Although the mayor of Dashu Town is just a fig leaf and a disguise, the Kingdom of Teresa also attaches great importance to this layer of disguise. Therefore, the mayors of Dashu Town are treated very preferentially, and their salary is close to that of a province. The governor, not to mention the fractional income of other caravan taxes.

And more importantly, Big Tree Town controls a shortcut to enter the Kingdom of Teresa. Although the road is rough, it can shorten the travel time of ten days and half a month, which makes most caravans in a hurry choose to go here. A shortcut.

Just for the road to be able to flow smoothly, Teresa Kingdom made some arrangements for the caravans that go to and from this shortcut, and set a quota. The caravans need to line up according to the arrival time, but as the mayor of Dashu Town, Even if he has no real power, he still has a few places to jump in the queue, which makes him indirectly able to help some caravans to obtain considerable benefits.

Because of these visible and invisible benefits, for officials in the Kingdom of Aden, the mayor of Dashu Town is absolutely a fatal deficiency, so that every time a position becomes vacant, it will cause all the forces in the Kingdom of Aden. Scramble.

However, this situation has undergone some weird changes in the election of the mayor of Dashu Town. Although there is still fierce competition for the mayor of Dashu Town within the Kingdom of Aden, the arrangement of the mayor of Dashu Town is still fierce. However, it took a long time to be unable to give a result. Several of the candidates who had been selected all found an excuse to resign from the post, and even one of them simply didn't even want the government office to resign.

The reason for this weird situation is entirely because the last few mayors of Dashu Town did not leave their posts safely after their term of office expired. They all died violently shortly after serving as the mayor of Dashu Town, and not only Only when the mayor died, the mayor's family members also died one after another after the death of the mayor, and the cause of death was very strange, and died naturally in his sleep.

So far, neither the investigation team of the Kingdom of Teresa nor the relevant departments of the church have found any clues. All the deaths of the mayor of Dashu Town seem to be suicides, and the mayor of Dashu Town is also on him. No trace of extraordinary power was found. As for the death of their family members, there is no trace. Even if their family members are transferred to the churches of the Church of Justice, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge and other churches, they are still unable to stop them if they are protected by divine arts. The result of their death in their sleep.

Therefore, the current position of the mayor of Dashu Town is equivalent to a death notice. Once in that position, not only will you die, but your family will not be able to escape. Naturally, no one will not even want his life for a little profit, so that The mayor of Shuzhen remained vacant for two consecutive months.

Fortunately, the mayor of Dashu Town is just a vacant position, without real power. The operation of Dashu Town will not be suspended because there is no mayor. For the townspeople and caravans of Dashu Town, they are just too many. An after-dinner talk.

After the exchange team led by Delkan came to Dashu Town, they heard this rumor about the curse of the mayor of Dashu Town from the dormitory management population set up in the school city where they lived, including Delkan himself and the leader of the team. The tutors and exchange students were all curious about this rumor, so that evening these curious apprentices and tutors decided to participate in the investigation while waiting for the passage, which is regarded as a social practice in the city. .

Due to the arrival of the first snow, the shortcut in Dashu Town was temporarily closed for safety, and both Dashu Town and Redwood Town at the other end of the shortcut sent special personnel to enter the mountains to check the road conditions, only to wait until these people reported the situation. And the weather will not deteriorate further, and the caravans and other talents blocked at both ends will be able to pass, otherwise, you will have to take a long detour or venture over the mountains in the wind and snow.

Delcan's exchange team does not intend to detour, even if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it will not pass, because if the detour, not only increases time and distance, even if you enter the Kingdom of Teresa, you still need to climb a few snowy mountains. , You can reach the Academic City, and if you take this shortcut, you can go directly to the mountainous area where the Academic City is located, without having to climb additional snow-capped mountains.

So on the day when they arrived in Dashu Town, the mentors of the exchange team such as Delcan had already decided that if the road is not open again, they will simply spend the winter in Dashu Town and wait for the next spring to leave. As for how to stay in Dashu After the winter in the town, the administrator of the Xuecheng dormitory gave a good goal to pass the time to investigate the cause of the death of the mayor of Dashu Town.

　　 Therefore, scholars such as Delkane are not only investigating the cursed mystery of the mayor of Dashu Town to satisfy their own curiosity, but also to pass the waiting time.

As for the safety of investigating this matter, they have also considered. Although Dashu Town and his family have died very strangely, the official investigation team, church forces and civilians who participated in the investigation of the curse of the mayor of Dashu Town The people did not encounter any danger, so they guessed that even if there is a death curse, it will only be the mayor of Dashu Town, and will not cause harm to others.

　　 On the second day after the decision was made, the mentors of the exchange team asked the apprentices to inquire about the cursed information about the mayor of Dashu Town in Dashu Town, and their mentors went to the mayor's residence to investigate.

When they arrived at the mayor's mansion, they entered the mansion without encountering any obstacles. It was not that there was no one guarding it, but that the guard had regarded the unoccupied mayor's mansion as a cash cow. The mayor cursed that anyone who was curious could spend a clover coin to visit and investigate, so before the scholars from these exchange teams came to the mayor's residence, other people in the town had visited the residence.

　　 Although it is known that even if there are clues in the mansion, it may be destroyed by a large number of people visiting, but scholars still uphold a rigorous attitude, choose to enter the mansion to check the situation, and collect any useful clues as much as possible.

After Gu 　　 entered the mansion, the scholars began to check the situation of the various rooms in the mansion according to their own expertise, especially the mayor's office, bedroom and study. Delkhan himself is not good at investigating things, he is better at Occult, so he specifically searched for the seemingly ordinary decorative patterns in the mansion to investigate, to see if there were any runes that contained mysterious powers hidden in them.

　　 Soon, Delkan's investigation direction was transferred to the mayor's study, but when he came to the study, he found that there were other people in the room.

　　Because it was known in advance that plain paper only needed to spend one clover coin to enter the mayor's mansion, so Delkan was not surprised to see other people here, and he also knew the two people in the study.

"Mr. Leo, Ms. Sylvia, are you also interested in the fact that the mayor is cursed?" After seeing the two people in the study, Delcan walked forward with great enthusiasm and greeted him actively. .

If it is someone else who knows Delkane, he will be very surprised by the attitude Delkane now shows. In the eyes of others, Delkane is definitely a taciturn guy. Even the scholars of the same school city, he will seldom behave. There is no emotion, let alone enthusiasm, but now he has shown such obvious enthusiasm to two strangers who have just known each other for less than a few days, which is really incredible.

However, to other colleagues who are also the mentors of the exchange team, Delkan's current attitude is reasonable, because they all think that the two people in the mayor's study are definitely worthy of Delkan's enthusiasm. , And even feel that enthusiasm is not enough, and you must show respect to be correct.

The two people in the study met in a small town on the road a few days ago. The caravan of these two people, like the other caravans going to Teresa Kingdom, chose to follow the exchange team in the school city and go on the road together because of the exchange. There is enough force in the team to protect them from attack by bandits.

In order to broaden the minds and horizons of the apprentices, the tutors of the exchange team usually take the exchange students to the various caravans that follow after the team camps for academic exchanges. They are said to be academic exchanges, but they are actually the people of the caravans. Asking all kinds of questions to embarrass students, let these students know that knowledge is not only recorded in books, but also in life, so from the beginning they never thought that someone in the caravan would ask any formal questions. .

However, accidents often happen inadvertently. After a series of bizarre questions, two people suddenly raised more than a dozen related and unrelated subjects in medicine, interpretation, political science, theology, etc. The breadth of its knowledge covers almost all the disciplines set up by the school, and those questions are not ordinary questions. Every question involves very advanced academic knowledge. Let alone students, even those who follow. The instructor may not be able to answer.

　　 So, a thinking development course for apprentices became a knowledge exchange meeting, and then it became a lecture time for the two people, from apprentices to tutors to students.

Therefore, in just a few days, the knowledge of these two people has completely convinced the tutors of Xuecheng. In the eyes of people like Delkan, the status of the two is almost equal to that of the master tutors of Xuecheng, or even comparable to that of the university. Mentors, especially when they learned that the two are also planning to go to the Academic City, they felt that once they joined the Academic City, it was almost impossible to become a great tutor, so they showed their respect for them in advance. It is also very normal.

On the other hand, Leo and Sylvia were a little surprised that they were able to get the recognition and respect of the academic city tutors in such a short period of time. Before they contacted these academic city scholars, they had studied the use of What means can these scholars put their hearts on their minds, but they did not expect to achieve or even exceed the set goals just by convincing them academically.

Leo and Sylvia went all the way north after leaving from the Port of West Point. Although they passed through several wars and famine-shrouded countries, they did not encounter them on the road because they were traveling with the caravan. Whatever the twists and turns, I came to the Kingdom of Aden, a subordinate country of the Kingdom of Teresa, and happened to meet the exchange team of the Academic City that was returning to China with exchange students, so that they could communicate with the people of the Academic City in advance. Learn about some things related to the academic city.

In this process, Sylvia did not reveal her surname. After all, the surname of Belmont in the Kingdom of Teresa has some special objections. Once the surname is revealed, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary attention, and Sylvia I am not in a hurry to contact the Belmont family of Teresa Kingdom, and wait until I understand the situation of the Belmont family before considering what to do next.

In the process of communicating with scholars in these academic cities, UU reading www.uukanshu.com found that it is very easy to quickly become friends with these scholars, which is to get their recognition directly at the knowledge level. Once recognized, then As long as they are not asking particularly taboo questions, they will not hesitate to answer them, and even take the initiative to disclose the content that they have not asked, giving people a feeling of being indifferent.

　　 But if someone really thinks that these scholars are innocent and innocent, then this person will eventually be sold by these seemingly innocent scholars, I am afraid they don't know.

When Leo and Sylvia communicated with these scholars, they could clearly feel that while answering the questions of the two, they were constantly testing the details of the two, and their methods of testing were very obscure. It was a little mention inadvertently, and at the same time cooperated with each other. Under such circumstances, it is easy for ordinary people to disclose some of their own information. Obviously, these scholars should have received spy training such as interrogation and interrogation.

Since these scholars performed hard in front of them, Leo and Sylvia naturally cooperated fully. They were like two ordinary travel scholars in their conversation and revealed some words and phrases of information, and these information are They had prepared it long ago, and it is also what these scholars want to know.

In exchange, they also learned from these scholars a lot of information about the Kingdom of Teresa, the City of Academics, and the Belmont family, but the information is obviously too much truthful and detailed compared to the false information they gave. .
