The Mysterious World Under Steampunk Chapter 1540

Leo, who was on the side, never made a sound. He just watched calmly as Sylvia handed over the Belmont family's patriarch ring to Duke Belmont, but he was still a little puzzled by Sylvia's move, because He remembered that Sylvia had mentioned that there was a big secret hidden in the patriarch's ring, but she had never found out what the secret was. Leo had also tried various methods, but also failed, so this ring For Sylvia, the patriarch's ring is not only a status symbol, but also has other importance.

But now Sylvia gave the patriarch ring to Duke Belmont so easily, which made Leo feel that Sylvia's move might have other deep meanings, so he wanted to wait for a chance to ask the reason. .

Because of the patriarch's ring, the tension caused by the first academic city dean just now also eased, and the Duke of Belmont and Queen Teresa no longer seemed so nervous and serious.

"Why did you react so nervously when we mentioned the first Dean of the Academic City just now, can you tell us the reason?" Sylvia took the opportunity to ask.

Hearing Sylvia's question, Queen Teresa and Duke Belmont looked at each other as if they were exchanging opinions. After a while, Queen Teresa said, "The first dean of the City of Academics. In fact, it is related to a scandal with the Belmont family and the Royal Teresa family, and that person has committed an unforgivable crime. In order to avoid accountability from the church, all the information about the first academic city dean It's all sealed in Belmont Castle, and only a few people can read it."

Queen Teresa briefly explained the situation, but it seemed that she did not intend to tell Leo and Xi what unforgivable crime the first academic city dean committed and what kind of scandal was involved. Sylvia listens.

Leo and Sylvia knew that this might involve the most taboo things of the Belmont family and the Royal Teresa family, and it might even be related to the survival of the two families. It's not enough for them to know such an important secret of the two major families. If they continue to ask questions, there may be problems with the reconciliation relationship that has just been established.

So, Leo changed his direction and asked directly: "Is the first Dean of Academic City called Rupert Fitz?"

When Leo said the name Rupert Fitz, the expressions of Duke Belmont and Queen Teresa changed slightly, and then they showed a sudden look, and nodded with Duke Belmont, saying: "You guys Since you can recognize the vague figure in the influence as the first Dean of the City of Academics, it means that you already have a certain understanding of that person, and knowing the person's name is also common sense." He said, he He wondered again: "Can you tell me, where did you come into contact with that person's information? Don't tell me that I had contact with him. If there is no accident, it is absolutely impossible for him to have direct contact with anyone."

Sylvia asked back: "Why can't we be Rupert Fitz, who is in contact, is there any secret here? Is it related to the church, or is it related to the two families?"

"Because of the curse, the sins committed by that person have alarmed several powerful true gods. Those true gods cursed him at the same time. It is impossible for him to lift the curse before the death of those true gods." This question does not involve For the taboo content, Duke Belmont replied directly: "Under the power of the curse, that person can't be seen directly by the world, can't have contact with the world, and can only live forever and alone in this world, even in There are countless people around him, and this is the price he paid for his pursuit of immortality."

After listening, Leo said jokingly: "It sounds like invisible, maybe he is standing in front of us now, and we also turn a blind eye to him because of the power of the curse."

"It is indeed possible." On the contrary, Duke Belmont nodded earnestly, agreeing with Leo's statement, but he said very confidently: "But he shouldn't be by our side, it's too dangerous for him already."

Both Leo and Sylvia could hear that the Duke of Belmont must have a reason for saying this, maybe it was also related to the curse.

Queen Teresa on the side didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, and asked: "You two haven't told us why you know that person, and that person's name?"

Sylvia looked at Leo, exchanged glances, and then said truthfully: "Because Rupert Fitz is not a native of this world like us, but from the world of Velen, and we have worked together before. a period of time."

"What? Rupert Fitz is also from the Velen world?" Both Duke Belmont and Queen Teresa looked surprised, and then Duke Belmont seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Does he know the Belmont family well in the world of Velen?"

"Yes." Sylvia nodded truthfully and said, "He was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of France back then, and he was able to access all the materials collected by the royal family without restrictions, including our Belmont family's materials, although I don't want to admit it, but I think he, an outsider, may know better than me as a family member in the family history."

Hearing Sylvia's answer, Duke Belmonte's face became extremely ugly. Although he didn't say anything, judging from the change in his expression, it was obvious that Rupert Fitz knew that there was also a Bell in this world. When the Monte family even developed very well, they used their knowledge of the Belmont family to gain some benefits from the Belmont family, or perhaps trust. Perhaps later, he led the establishment of the academic city and became the first. The dean of the academy is also related to this.

"From what we know about Rupert Fitz, he has a deep plan for everything he does, and he will never do anything useless. Now that he has appeared in the academic city, he has ventured into the black house. The relic was manipulated inside, so there must be a reason for him to do so." Sylvia increased her tone, her expression became serious, and continued: "It's a pity that there is very little information about him that can be found now. I don't know what he has done since he came to this world, and I can't make any speculations and judgments about his current behavior and thoughts.”

"Do you think too highly of that person, that person is just an ordinary person cursed by the gods?" Queen Teresa could hear the seriousness and concern in Sylvia's tone, so she said a little puzzled .

Gu Jing Sylvia shook her head, chuckled, and said, "Ordinary person? Maybe Rupert Fitz is an ordinary person, but if I let him go, even if this ordinary person does things, it will be me. It would be shocking, don't look at him the way you look at ordinary people."

Hearing Sylvia's admiration for Rupert Fitz's ability, Queen Teresa was also a little surprised, and at the same time, she recalled in her mind the information she had seen about the first dean of the academy .

As Sylvia said, she did instinctively look down on Rupert Fitz because she knew that Rupert Fitz was just an ordinary person now, at best an ordinary person who did not grow old and immortal because of a curse. He thought that no matter how much he tossed about, he wouldn't make any big noise.

And now Sylvia's words have made her involuntarily change her previous concept and re-look at this first academy dean, who is only kept in the data. After all, even a demigod feels scruples, what qualification does she have? Think it's just an ordinary person?

Compared to Queen Teresa, Duke Belmont, who had carefully studied the life of the first dean of the academy, strongly agreed with Sylvia's evaluation, because in his opinion, Rupert Fitz was an ordinary man. The degree of danger of a person is definitely not much worse than that of any person with extraordinary power. If you are not careful, you may get into big trouble. The big event that caused the curse of many true gods was because of the Duke of Belmont and King Teresa at that time. Too much trust in this person and too much indulgence.

Now that the man reappeared, the Duke of Belmont couldn't help but rang the alarm bell. He instinctively felt that after so many years of silence, the man suddenly came to the black house to control the relic. I am afraid there are other unknown deep meanings, more likely to want It's a big deal, and the last time this person came out to do a big deal, Teresa's kingdom almost became the target of the joint jihad of the various True God churches.

Thinking of this, the Duke of Belmont was a little hesitant, whether he should continue to adhere to the rules of the family and the royal family, always keep those materials sealed away from outsiders, or show them to Leo and Sylvia to see if they can get it from Some clues were found in it. After all, he only knew the situation of the person from the data, and the two of them had face-to-face contact with the person, and the understanding of the person must be better than himself.

Just when the Duke of Belmont was still hesitating, Queen Teresa was decisive and said directly: "I can't tell you the scandal of the family and the royal family that he caused back then, but the crime he caused the curse of the true God. But I can tell you."

Afterwards, she paused and turned to look at Duke Belmonte, as if asking for Duke Belmonte's approval, and Duke Belmonte thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

Next, Queen Teresa spoke out about Rupert Fitz. During her narration, she was interrupted from time to time by the Duke of Belmont, and then raised some things that could not be said, and finally said The content that came out was very fragmented.

However, even so, both Leo and Sylvia were able to hear a lot of useful information from these scattered narrations. In the end, these pieces of information could basically form a group that did not involve too much Belmont family and Teresa. The life of Rupert Fitz of the Royal Family.

Although from the information disclosed, Leo and Sylvia are still unable to confirm the exact time when Rupert Fitz came to this world and how he came to this world, but they can be sure that Rupert Fitz came to this world. Not long after he came to this world, he knew that there was a Belmont family in this world, and he came to contact the Belmont family actively. Using his knowledge of the Belmont family and his own abilities, he quickly became the Belmont patriarch at that time. He made close friends, and then got involved with the Royal Family of Teresa through the Belmont family, and became the royal advisor to King Teresa at that time.

The reason why such a guess is made is because there is a clear record in the documents that Queen Teresa has read. When Rupert Fitz just met Patriarch Belmont, there were some language barriers. Later, Patriarch Belmont personally After teaching him the various languages ​​spoken in the world, he was able to express himself to others smoothly.

Based on Sylvia's understanding of Rupert Fitz, he is extremely gifted in linguistics. Except for a few special languages, he is able to successfully use the common and regional languages ​​of most countries in the world of Velen. I heard that there is no obstacle. This can also be judged from the records left by the Belmont Patriarch. In less than a year, he has mastered the use and writing methods of all the common languages ​​in the Old World, and even He also specially invented an extremely gorgeous written font, which is still the font used by the Royal Family of Teresa when issuing documents.

When Rupert Fitz served as King Teresa's advisor, he put forward a lot of suggestions for the development of the Kingdom of Teresa. These suggestions were eventually adopted and became decrees that are still used in the Kingdom of Teresa.

There is absolutely no problem in becoming the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Teresa with his talent, but because of his status, he could not get the support of the royal government of the kingdom, so he could only act as a consultant for a long time. Influenced the political situation of Teresa's kingdom, until he proposed the construction of an academic city, his advisor status was cancelled.

For the next ten years, he devoted himself to the construction of an academic city, from the site selection of the academic city to the layout and architectural form of various urban areas. The original version of the school rules and regulations was also formulated by him, and because there was no one who could know more about the academic city than him at that time, he deservedly became the first dean of the academic city.

After he became the dean, both Patriarch Belmont and King Teresa gave him great trust and completely handed over the rights of the academic city to him, and he did not disappoint them either. In a short period of time, the academic city has grown into the heartland of emerging ideas and academic research in the entire Old World. It was not until his troubles got out of hand that Patriarch Belmont and King Teresa knew how crazy he was.

Imprisoning the gods, dissecting the gods, studying the gods, devouring the gods, and finally becoming a god, this is the crime that Rupert Fitz committed in those days, and it is also the reason why several true gods cursed him.
