The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The first area in the world to openly accept family members is not Venaya, but the ice and snow kingdom of Dailiat in the north of the Minsk continent.

As early as more than two hundred years ago, when the power of the Orthodox Church had not weakened, when the adjudicators of the Orthodox Church hunted and killed members of the underground church and various families of evil gods, even the royal families and nobles of other countries were in front of these adjudicators. In an era without privileges, Daliat resisted the pressure of the Orthodox Church and openly accepted immigrants from the family.

The reason why Daliat made such an astonishing decision was mainly because the two major powers in the south, the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Savile, put too much pressure on it. Great powers are annexed.

In the Minsk continent more than 200 years ago, the three kingdoms of Daliyat, Maris, and Savile were not as they are now. At that time, the three kingdoms were only the three largest powers in the Minsk continent. There are dozens of countries of different sizes.

The largest of these countries occupies more than a dozen cities, which can directly compete with the three major powers, while the smallest has only one city, which feels more like a lord's territory than a kingdom.

This situation has been going on for a long time. After all, the first countries on the Minsk continent were independently formed by the pioneers of the French Empire and hundreds of desert tribes. The largest number of countries on this continent Sometimes it even reached more than five thousand.

However, this situation changed more than two hundred years ago. At that time, it took less than a year for the Maris Kingdom and the Savile Kingdom to attack the Minsk Mountains and the surrounding areas of the Guga Desert. All the small countries around it have been eliminated, and the number of countries on the Minsk continent has been reduced from more than a hundred to three.

Daliat, whose strength was similar to that of the other two countries, suddenly felt that his strength had been stretched a lot. Daliat's senior management knew better that when the two countries in the south digested the occupied land and population, they would inevitably Target it, and now it has no way to improve its national strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, the counselors of the kingdom gave the king an idea to give the family members the right of residence, allowing these family members with special powers to serve the country, join the army, and resist foreign lands.

In the end, this policy was implemented and achieved very good results in the subsequent Great Patriotic War. It could not help repelling the two southern kingdoms, and also pushed the land of Deliyat hundreds of kilometers southward.

It's just that some disadvantages of this family immigration policy began to emerge, such as discrimination, such as the problem of family loss of control, etc., which caused various turmoil in the Kingdom of Daliyat. The political situation of the kingdom was in a state of division. After his death, the new king abolished this policy and closed the door to family immigration.

However, even so, there are still many family members settled down in the Dailiat Kingdom, and it is still the kingdom with the largest number of family members known.

Like the current commercial ocean-going sailing ship belonging to the Snow Queen, the people who control the ship are all family members, which is absolutely invisible in other places. However, for ordinary people, these crew members are also ordinary people, so there is no Like Leo, after knowing the actual situation of the sailing ship, he was surprised.

The shape of the entire ocean-going sailing ship looks like it was refitted from a huge sea monster ship. The giant sea monster ship is the largest sail-powered ship in the Vinylon world, and it is also the last masterpiece of the sailing ship. The giant ship has a total length of nearly 700 meters, a total of eight cabins, and seven main masts with four main sails and three In addition, there are fifty shooting holes on both sides of the hull for the giant mechanical crossbow.

Such a giant sailing ship, a masterpiece, was supposed to shine in the sea, but when it sailed for the first time, it encountered a sea battle, and the person who commanded the war happened to be a general who was very proficient in sea battles. It was discovered that the defect of this sea monster is that it is difficult to turn, and it takes more time than other ships.

In this way, the final result is naturally self-evident. The giant monster ship was sunk on the first day of sailing, and it became a ship of this type and was shelved.

It was just that this kind of ship was taken by the Ice Queen for some reason, and it was rebuilt and refitted, and incorporated into her private commercial fleet, which became a unique symbol of the Ice Queen Chamber of Commerce.

When Leo boarded the sailing ship, he had already used the mental net to understand the situation of the entire ship. Learned all the secrets of the ship.

The reason why Leo was able to grasp the secret of this ship so easily is probably because when the Ice Queen built this ship, she never thought that there would be a spiritual skill like Spirit Net, which could easily scan the entire ship , and did not expect that a wizard like Leo, who is proficient in Gamore language, would be able to recognize all the Turing roots and layout techniques on this ship.

However, it is more likely that the Ice Queen felt that even if someone could crack all the operating secrets of this ship, there would be no way to imitate it, because after analyzing all the manufacturing and operating secrets of this ship, Leo estimated the manufacturing The price for such a boat. If he put all his current wealth into it, he might be able to build one, but the problem is that even if he has money, he will not be able to build it because he doesn't have enough spiritual materials.

The biggest difficulty in building this strange ship is not the various Turing roots and god runes all over the surface of the ship. With Leo's current knowledge, he can easily draw these Turing roots and god runes. Alternatives can also be found. The real difficulty is where to find so many psionic materials with the same psionic wavelength.

When Leo was uploading, he discovered that all the psionic materials in the entire ship were all of the same wavelength. Whether it was the keel and deck used to build the ship, or the specially made figure and sails, they all emitted the same psionic wavelength. And this completely unified psionic energy wavelength makes the psionic energy fluctuations of the entire ship very powerful.

If this ship is alive, then this ship is definitely a psychic creature with a psychic level of five or more. Putting it on the battlefield, such a psychic creature can already control the situation of a naval battle.

However, it is clear that there are not many people who can really understand the true power of this ship. Compared with such a sailing ship, the ocean cruise Miracle Star of the New Star Shipping Company, which is docked at the first pier not far away, is an ordinary person. The miracle of the sea in the eyes, the huge unsinkable sea monster.

In terms of a single volume, the first pier with a total length of 4,000 meters must be completely emptied of all ships to allow this giant ship to dock, and the body of this giant ship cannot fully enter the pier, with one-third of it exposed outside the pier in the sheltered bay.

In addition to the length, the nearly 80-meter hull height makes it look like a high mountain, standing on the pier. If the chimney is counted, the height reaches more than 100 meters, even in the urban area far away from the pier. , and you can still see the seven huge chimneys of the ship.

Half a month ago, the promotion of the maiden voyage of the new star shipping company's giant ship had already started in Dorset Port, not only Dorset Port, but also other port cities, inland cities, and even foreign countries in the Kingdom of England. There was publicity for the maiden voyage.

So in the first two days when the giant ship was docking at the port for repairs and waiting to set sail, the entire port of Scitech was like a festival. Countless people from all over the country came here to look up at this great miracle, which can be called the world's highest technology.

The tickets for the high-class cabins have not been sold publicly at all, and have already been booked by dignitaries from various countries. These dignitaries came to the Kingdom of England early to wait for the departure date, and the tickets for the second-class cabins were sold out in less than half a day after the public sale. Tickets for cabins on the lower floors were also sold one after another, and the ticket price was once as high as three times the pre-sale price, and it was hard to find a ticket.

For all those who have bought tickets, this Miracle Star's maiden voyage around the world is definitely something worth showing off for a lifetime, but in Leo's eyes, taking this Miracle Star is definitely not a good choice.

When Leo asked the steward to order a ticket to the mainland of Minsk, the steward mentioned the first voyage of the Miracle Star, and also said that he could buy a room in a high-class cabin. At that time, Leo felt something was wrong. Because when he heard about this giant ship, he couldn't help but think of the stone city where Sea God lived.

And now after seeing this giant ship with his own eyes, Leo is more sure of his previous feelings, because he felt an inexplicable power on this giant ship, this power is not emitted by the giant ship itself, but like An external force enveloped it, and what was even more strange was that he could only vaguely feel this force, but he couldn't clearly see the details of this force no matter whether he used the spirit net or the spiritual vision.

"It's really a miracle in the world, isn't it?" When Leo stood on the bow of the Ice Queen and looked at the giant ship in the distance, a rough and heroic voice came from beside him, followed by a waiting captain. cap, with a pipe in his mouth, the bearded old man walked up to Leo, looked enviously at the Miracle Star in the distance, and said: "If I have the opportunity to become the captain of that ship, command That ship sails once, even if it is willing to die."

"In that case, you will really die." Leo turned his head to look at the old captain of the Ice Queen, but didn't say what was in his heart.

In Leo's mental network perception, this old captain, who looks no different from ordinary old people, is actually a deeply mutated family member, whose appearance looks like some kind of insect, but because his outer skin is very perfect camouflages his mutant state so that he doesn't look abnormal.

Although Leo didn't speak, the old captain couldn't help but feel weak, and felt that the other party might have seen through his true situation, and this feeling was stronger than when Leo boarded the ship this morning .

Just in the morning, when Leo boarded the ship and scanned the entire ship through the spirit net, he also scanned the family members on board and got a general grasp of the situation of these family members.

Among these family members, the vast majority are hidden family members, and there is no mutated state on their bodies, but the mutations on three of them have reached a complete body, and they have to use other means to cover up their monster appearance.

It's just that they are still in a rational state and have not been affected by the mutation. If only one person is like this, it may be a coincidence, but if several people are like this, then it means that the Snow Queen must have mastered a method that can prevent the family from being affected by blood. Methods.

However, due to some special reasons, they are very sensitive to external power fluctuations. When Leo scanned them with the spirit net, they also felt it, but they didn't know what was going on. They just knew that it came from Leo. So in the past few days, most of their attitudes toward Leo were to stay away. As long as Leo didn't trouble them, they wouldn't restrain Leo.

It is very rare for the old captain to take the initiative to talk to Leo like today. Now that he has taken the initiative to talk, the old captain will naturally not give up. Under the pressure of the discomfort in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "We will sail in an hour. Is there anything else you need to buy here?"

"There is nothing to prepare." Leo responded casually.

"Uh..." The old captain wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing the old captain like this, Leo simply expressed his concerns for him, saying: "You are worried that I will make trouble on the ship, right?"

"Ah?" The old captain didn't expect Leo to speak so directly, he was stunned for a while, then blushed, and said, "I'm really worried, because the alarm in my room hasn't stopped since you boarded the ship , the power you have is already capable of posing a threat to this ship."

Leo looked down at the deck of the ship under his feet, and asked suspiciously: "This ship can think like a living person and distinguish danger?"

"Of course not." The old captain shook his head repeatedly, then stomped his feet, and said, "It can only simply sense the danger of the guests when they board the ship."

Leo shook his head. Unlike the old captain, Leo really found out all the secrets of this ship through the spiritual net. He also knows the function of sensing the state of the boarder, and he even knows how to block it. However, from the mouth of the old captain, he heard that the ship seemed to be able to automatically scan boarders, and it could also actively analyze the degree of danger and issue a warning to the captain.

Obviously, this kind of ability similar to low-level artificial intelligence, Leo did not find similar effects from the Turing root and other runes on the ship.

"Is there a secret that I haven't discovered?" Leo had a doubt in his heart, but there was no abnormal expression on his face. Instead, he calmly said to the old captain: "I'm just an ordinary passenger, and I've reached my goal." You will get off the ship and not cause trouble, you can rest assured about that."

"It's the best, it's the best!" After getting Leo's response, the old captain turned and left with a smile. Although he believed Leo's words on the surface, it is not known whether he actually believed it.
