The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　Because there was no longer any need to delay time, Leo’s lead was also much faster, and he quickly entered an ancient passage cut by those ancient Neilgards who deliberately hid.

　　At the same time, the team of horses who were disturbed by the movement of the flintlock just now also accelerated a lot of speed of travel, and at the same time they were too late to cover up the trace of passing by.

　　This makes Leo, who is catching up behind, not need to open the spiritual network at all, and can easily find the route they have traveled by relying on the obvious traces found.

It's just that those people are also worried that someone behind them will catch up with them, so they often walk around some long routes, and deliberately find some sinister places in the complex underground passages, such as the edge of a fissure. Wait, there will even be traps in some places.

　　 It is a pity that these things are not useful to Leo, but he did not dismantle them, but kept them to deal with the people behind him. This caused him to hear at least two more screams from the passage behind him through his enhanced hearing on the way.

　　 After less than ten minutes, Leo had already caught up with the previous group of people, and the Spirit Net re-integrated those people into the coverage.

　　However, Leo did not immediately go up to contact those people, but followed them from afar, wanting to see what they would do when they reached the end of the passage.

　　Now, this winding path with a sloping trend, Leo has explored through the spiritual network on the ground, and it is also at the bottom of the topographic map he built. Through the topographic map, he knew clearly that the end of the road should be a broken bridge across the ground fissure abyss. As for what is on the broken bridge, it has exceeded the maximum exploration distance of the spiritual network.

However, Leo feels that the people they are following should know what is opposite the broken bridge, because they are very familiar with the situation of each fork in this passage, and they have not gone to the wrong place. They should have explored this place more than once. Now this time they should be ready to implement specific actions.

　　Leo's sudden slowing down movement made Catherine a little puzzled, but she quickly explained to Leo, thinking that Leo deliberately slowed down to take care of her physical strength.

The reason why Catherine's attitude has changed is that apart from the previous conversation that brought the two closer, it was also because Leo had just rescued her from a fatal trap, which gave her a little more trust in Leo sense.

　　 Just like this, the two groups of people drilled in this ancient underground passage for about five minutes, and finally the person in front came to the end of the passage.

　　 Walking out of the passage, you can see a square with a wide view. Like the plaza in the underground residential area, there was a statue erected here, and the statue here was broken, and a pedestal was still left.

　　 In addition, around the square, there are some caves similar to shrines, which were originally carved with gods, but they were scraped off by man.

　　 At the other end of the square is a fissure abyss with a width of more than 50 meters and a side that can't be seen on the left and right, and the bottom can't be seen. There were obviously a lot of people coming and going here, so some stone railings were built on the fringe to prevent people from accidentally falling.

　　 A broken stone bridge is located on the edge of the square. Judging from the fragments of the remaining base, railings, etc. of the broken bridge, this broken bridge should be very beautiful when it is complete, but unfortunately there is only one wreckage left.

　　 Standing on the edge of the broken bridge and looking across, the faint shape of the opposite bridge can be seen vaguely, but because there is no fluorescent plant growing on the opposite side, it is dark and no other objects can be seen.

When the group of people came to the square, they immediately began to arrange bridge crossing tools such as ropeways. First, they fixed the rope to the stone pillar on the square, and then shot the rope to the opposite side with the arrows with barbs. Hope The hook on the arrow can catch a reliable fixed point.

In addition, they also arranged several people to be alert, paying attention to the situation of the exit of the passage. Each of these people carried a mechanical crossbow and aimed at the entrance. Anyone who appeared at the entrance would encounter chaotic arrows. Attack.

It would not work to go out directly from the exit of the passage. Fortunately, Leo knew that another passage also led to the square, so he followed the instructions of the topographic map and came under the passage, then gestured to Jason and Catherine, He pointed to a hole in the top of his finger that was not easy to see, nearly three meters high.

Leo first lifted Catherine up, and then helped Jason climb up. He pedaled easily through the wall. This made Jason, who had just stretched out his hand to prepare to pull him, froze, awkwardly. Take it back and wipe it on your body.

　　 Leo patted Jason's shoulder with a smile, and continued to lead the way. After bypassing a small bend, the three came to the exit of the passage. This exit is located on a stone wall about two meters high on the side of the square. Because it was covered by some vines, no one on the square could find the hole.

　　After reaching the hole, Leo did not go down to the square, but motioned for Jason and Catherine to sit down near the hole, each slightly plucked a few strands of vines and peeped out.

　　 The ground, stone pillars and walls of the square are also covered with fluorescent plants, which makes the movement in the square clear.

　　Catherine, who cares about Nelson's safety, quickly found Nelson's place, but it made her wonder if Nelson didn't seem like a kidnapped person.

Although it seems that Nielsen’s movement is restricted, there are at least two burly men watching him, but from the sight of easy conversation with the people around him, and the fact that the mechanical crossbow on his body has not been searched, etc. Nelson’s relationship with these people is unusual.

　　 was aware of the abnormal Catherine and found that the conversations of these people were all in English, and the accents were obviously all the accents of Port Saite, which made her mind have a bad association. She began to feel that Nelson came to Cage City not to see her, but for other purposes, which also made her start to doubt Leo and Jason beside her.

　　 "Don't think about it! Look carefully, listen carefully." It seems that Catherine's mood is a bit wrong, Leo reminded in a low voice.

Hearing Leo’s words, although Catherine’s doubts did not dissipate, she also weakened a lot, because she thought that if Leo, Jason and the group of people in front of him were together, then he could completely grab himself out. , There is no need to hide and snoop here, superfluous.

"Shaun, why did you bring me here?" Just when Catherine followed Leo's advice and calmly began to pay attention to the movement in the square, the supervised Nelson suddenly walked to a man wearing an Aknaya robe Behind the person, he said loudly: "I can't escape now, I can't escape. You should rest assured that I know the whole story? Even if you want to kill me later..."

"Cous Nielsen, why do you think that? We are relatives, how can I kill you? I just want to borrow your blood." The person questioned hooded the tunic on his head Lifting it up, revealing an old-looking face wearing glasses, while stopping Nelson from continuing to talk nonsense, he also told Nelson his purpose.

　　 "It's him!" At this moment, Catherine who saw the man suddenly exclaimed lightly.

　　 "Do you know him?" Leo asked.

　　Catherine nodded, lowering her voice and said: "I met him in Martin's office. When he introduced himself, he said that he was the executive director secretary of the Lanxi Industry Federation and was specifically responsible for labor negotiations with the Workers' Mutual Aid Association."

　　Leo guessed: "It seems that Martin Nelson should be related to him."

　　At this time, some anxious Nielsen asked again: "Where is this?"

　　 The man named Sean heard the question, but did not answer it immediately, but took off his robe to reveal the trench coat set that looked like a military uniform. Then he walked to the base of the statue in the middle of the square and erased the fluorescent plants covered with ancient words and symbols, saying, "Nilgard City, a lost city destroyed by gods."

　　 "What does this have to do with me?" Nielsen asked blankly.

"In fact, it has nothing to do with you." Sean looked at Nielsen with a pitiful expression, and said: "You just happened to appear when it shouldn't appear. My original goal was the French Empire. Baron Moposan, when you and your comrades left Tutu Town, he also departed from Tutu Town and took the Continental Train to Miria City. The train will stop at Lanxi for a long time and he will be attracted by some things Come here and help me complete a ritual. But now you are also useful. After all, you also have blood of red roses, blood of gods."

　　 "The blood of the gods? Are you crazy?" Nielsen glared at his relatives in annoyance, shouting: "You also believe this kind of ghost word that the English royal family advertises its own monarchy!"

　　 Sean shook his head at Nelson and said, "Cous Nielsen, you are really pitiful. Not only are you excluded from the asset management of the White Rose family, you don’t even know the true history of the White Rose family."

　　 "What the **** are you talking about?" Nielsen said to his old-looking cousin.

Sean sat casually on the ground, patted the ground next to him, motioned for Nelson to sit down, and then narrated: "It is true that the King of England's royal family has the blood of the gods, the creator of the White Rose, that The Great Protector of the Kingdom did a lot of things to obtain the blood of the Inge royal family. Later, in order to make the blood line thicker, he even made a plan to marry the Inge royal family for a hundred years. Say: "Do you know why he did this?"

　　 Nielsen had heard of this cousin's bad taste, so he ignored his inquiry.

"It's a boring guy!" Sean pouted and said, "Robert Sean is not only a great military man, but also a great adventurer. He discovered it in the seabed in his early years. A city built of boulders..."

　　 "The bottom of the sea? Are you talking about the bottom of the sea?" Nielsen couldn't help but question the hole in the story.

"It's the seabed." Sean said affirmatively: "Although I don't know how he did it, but the record is the seabed. He thinks that the seabed city is the palace of Poseidon, because only Poseidon can get it. He went to such a huge and magnificent palace. There is not much description of that palace in his notes, but he mentioned that when he left, he took away a scepter, which is said to be the scepter of Poseidon ruled the ocean.

　　Nielsen heard this and guessed the following without much thought, saying: "The condition for using this scepter is to have the bloodline of Poseidon, right?"

"Good!" Sean nodded and continued: "In fact, Hu Guogong's plan has been successful, but it is a pity that there is a person in his offspring who is as adventurous as he is, and this offspring is very irregular. The scepter was taken away and never appeared again."

　　 Nielsen frowned and asked, "Listening to what you mean, do you know where the scepter is?"

"There was a caring servant next to the man who took away the scepter. The servant followed him until he was killed. Then he fled alone and fled back to the Kingdom of England, changed his face and married his wife. , And eventually created a family."

　　 "It's your Donald family, right?"

"Yes." Sean admitted frankly, followed by taking out an old diary, stroking some old covers, and said: "The ancestor recorded his experience in this diary~www.wuxiahere.com~ This diary is why I came here."

　　 "Do you mean that scepter is here?" Although Nielsen still does not believe in the so-called **** blood, he cannot be attracted by Sean's story.

Sean's thinking jumped a bit, and suddenly led the topic to the other side, saying, "Do you know? The white rose who took the scepter was once one of the leaders of the slave uprising that almost destroyed the royal family of France, this If the matter is known by the current Royal Family of Français, I am afraid the Matthew family will be out of luck."

　　 "What are you talking about?" Nielsen panicked.

　　 No wonder he would be so flustered, because the royal family of the Français has always cared about the slave uprising. Even after so many years, several royal dynasties have been changed.

Anything and people related to it will still be treated with the harshest measures even after so many years. No country has ever been published. Even if the Kingdom of Enge was hostile for most of the time, it has not published any slaves. The books related to the uprising can be seen from these things.

　　 "I have no nonsense, this is the truth, a fact that no one knows." Sean patted the notebook in his hand and said, "However, my ancestors recorded this big joke. Do you want to hear it?"

　　 Nielsen was stunned for a while, hesitated a little and didn't know how to answer.

　　 He felt that what Sean said might be true, and he was also curious about this matter, but he knew more clearly that he could not bear the consequences of the incident.

　　 At this moment, the shouting from the broken bridge side saw that a rope was tightened and stretched by the winch, and the first rope for crossing the bridge was fixed.
