The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When Leo and Sylvia arrived at the manor, they didn't go to the main manor on the hillside where the disappearance case mainly happened. Instead, they came to the house where the workers lived below, and asked for more detailed information first.

After all, most of their knowledge about the disappearance of the manor comes from Capello, and most of the relevant content that Capello heard has been spread for several rounds. I am afraid that it has already been far from the truth, so directly from the parties. Access to information is essential.

However, when they came to the workers' building, they found that there was no one there. Judging from the dust inside and outside the building, the workers here had obviously been away for several days. It seemed that the situation here was worse than Capello's. It's much worse described.

"Someone came here before us." After Leo and Sylvia checked the house, Sylvia spoke first.

"There are six people in total, and they haven't left yet." Leo knew the situation better than Sylvia. His mental network had already understood the surrounding situation when he checked the house. He just checked the house just to see The other party's reaction was nothing more than that, so after reminding Sylvia, he turned his head to the woods not far away and said, "We are knights who received a mission entrusted on the bulletin board, and we are here to investigate the manor. The disappearance case is not malicious."

As Leo's voice fell, after a while, six men and women were seen walking out of the woods leading six horses.

Seeing these six people, Leo was a little confused, because through the spiritual network, he knew that several people were discussing whether they should go out of the woods at that moment, which also made him understand that these six people should also be the ones who received the task, but they were just After seeing those six people, he found that these six people were somewhat different from the adventure team he understood.

An old man with the appearance of a scholar, although the disguise is very good, but the bloody smell on his body is enough to show that he is not only knowledgeable, but more importantly, Leo feels the kind of energy fluctuations belonging to the blood clan of Moonlight City from him. Deliberately concluded that the opponent should also be a blood race. From the perspective of energy fluctuations, his strength is slightly worse than that of Dawson Kuivan.

The other bard, who spread the word gaudyly and held a lute in his hand, no matter how he looked at the other party's physical condition, he was not much better than ordinary people. If something happened, he might be a burden to Ge.

Next to the bard was a man with an obvious military look. He was wearing a badly worn armor. Judging from the badge that was deliberately worn away on the armor, he should be a soldier of the Nilfgaardian Empire.

On the other side is a woman wearing a green blouse with a bow and arrow on her back. It is not difficult to see from the muscles of her arms and the way she stands that she should be an excellent archer. ears, maybe Leo would think she is the elf of this world.

Next to this woman, there was a young and short woman. At first glance, Leo almost thought she was Javier, because her appearance was very similar to Jervier, but he soon realized that This is not Jillier, because she is much younger than Jillier, and her hair color is not silvery white, there is no scar on her face, and her physical condition cannot be compared with Jillier.

However, among the six people, what really caught Leo's attention was the white-haired warrior surrounded by others. He had white hair, a pale face, pupils like snake eyes, and a scar at the corner of his eye. , wearing a special soft armor, there are many small devices on the soft armor, storing things such as medicine bottles, and behind him are two swords on his back, and a wolf head ornament hanging around his neck.

Seeing this person, Leo quickly thought of the person mentioned by Javier, so when the person came over and hadn't stood still, he asked the person: "Your Excellency is the demon hunter Jie?" Lott?"

The man froze for a moment, nodded, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Yes, I'm Geralt. Who are you? Have we met before?"

"We've never met before. I mentioned you from a friend." Leo took off his helmet, smiled, and said, "My friend's name is Jivie."

"Jivier?" Geralt didn't react for a while, but soon realized who Leo was talking about, stepped forward quickly, and asked anxiously: "You mean Ciri, right? You Say Ciri?"

"Yes, she asked me to call her Ciri." Leo nodded, feeling a little strange about Geralt's reaction, and when he thought about the situation when Jillier appeared, he comforted Geralt: " You don't have to worry, Ciri should be safe now, although she was hunted by the Wild Hunt..."

"Wait, what are you talking about? Ciri was hunted by the Wild Hunt?" Geralt immediately interrupted when he heard Leo's words, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the Wild Hunt you are talking about is from folklore? Wild Hunt?"

"Wow! Wild Hunt, did you hear that, auntie? It's Wild Hunt!" At this time, the woman behind him, who looked very similar to Javier, pulled the clothes of the female archer beside him and said excitedly.

The female archer next to her waited for the girl with a look of displeasure, and said, "I told you! Angulan, I am not an aunt, I call me Miss Milva."

"Don't you know?" Leo looked at Geralt's surprised face and didn't seem to be lying, and he remembered that Jillier said that Geralt and her got separated when the wild hunt was chasing her. In other words, Geralt should know about the Wild Hunt.

At this time, he suddenly had a guess in his mind, and said, "Your Excellency Geralt, do you still remember what happened to Livia?"

"Livia?" Geralt was stunned for a moment. He became more and more confused by Leo's words. He could remember many things that happened in Livia, but he didn't know what the other party was talking about. which one.

And when Geralt showed a puzzled look on his face, Leo already had the answer in his heart, and said: "You don't need to remember if you can't remember, it's not a very important thing, I will introduce myself For a moment, my name is Leo Dodd, a knight from Faran, this is..."

"I am Leo's wife, Sylvia Belmont, and I am also a knight." Sylvia also took off the helmet, revealing her beautiful face.

Geralt and the vampire with the appearance of the old scholar were quite normal, while the others were overwhelmed by Sylvia's appearance and attire. They never thought that there was such a beautiful woman in such a mighty armor. women.

Among these few people, the man with a mustache in fancy clothes couldn't help but played the lute in his hand a few times, and was about to sing a song, but was immediately stopped by the Nilfgaardian soldiers beside him Now, obviously this is not the time for the mustache to be courting.

Geralt also introduced him and the people around him: "I am Geralt of Rivia, and this is my friend Regil, Dandelion, Cassirer, Milva..."

"And me, and me! Angullan!" The girl who looked like Javier couldn't wait to jump up and said.

"Yes, and Angoulin!" Geralt said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you all." Leo nodded towards everyone.

In this case, Leo already knows one thing, that is, the time he is in now is not in the same timeline as the time when he encountered Javier, he is now in the previous time, which is the The Rivian massacre had not occurred before the time.

Moreover, he also knew who these people were in front of him, because Jillier had mentioned these people. They should be the temporary team that Geralt had formed before to find Jillier, but they seemed to be apart from Geralt and Except for Dandelion, everyone else died when Javier was rescued later, and Javier was very sad and sentimental when she mentioned them, especially the one who died in her arms, who looked very close to her Angoulême.

After introducing himself, Geralt didn't seem to want to change the subject, and asked Leo, "Your Excellency Leo, you mentioned meeting Ciri just now, may I ask..."

Leo interrupted Geralt and said, "I'm sorry, I did see Jivieir, but it's not the present, nor the past, but the future! So now you ask me about Jiviere's whereabouts, I It's not very clear, but I know you will meet again soon."

Regarding what Leo said, Geralt was completely at a loss, not knowing what he was talking about.

The others felt the same way, and Angulane said directly: "Uncle Knight, you speak like those fortune-tellers who swindle money, and what you say is completely incomprehensible."

However, the vampire named Regil among them seemed to understand Leo's words, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and when Geralt was about to continue asking questions, he pulled Ragerot's clothes and replaced him. Geralt said: "I think I already know what you mean, Your Excellency Leo. I hope that the situation you mentioned will come soon."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and whispered to Geralt, "I'll explain to you later."

Hearing Regil's words, although Geralt was still very anxious about Javier's whereabouts, he endured it and did not continue to question Leo.

Leo said to everyone: "It seems that you should have accepted the task of Earl Britt and came here to investigate the disappearance case. I think we can cooperate."

"How to cooperate?" Geralt temporarily put aside Ciri's affairs, and asked Leo with great interest.

Leo thought for a while, and suggested: "We each have our own investigation methods, and mixing together is not conducive to the investigation of the matter. Why don't we investigate separately, come back here at noon, and tell the clues we have obtained from our investigations, see See if each other's clues can complement each other, so that the cause of the disappearance can be found faster."

Geralt was silent for a while, looked at his companions around him, and saw that they all nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

"Wait," Dandelion said suddenly at this moment, "If the investigation comes to fruition, what about Earl Britt's mission bounty?"

Leo thought for a while and said: "We don't need mission bounties, we can give them all to you, we only need Earl Britt to guarantee our knight status, after all, our country has no reputation here, and knight status cannot Once it is proven, we need someone to vouch for us, so that we can have the status of a knight and be able to participate in the knight meeting."

Dandelion looked at the two of them in surprise, and said, "Why aren't you knights? I think those knights are nothing compared to you."

Angulan on the side also nodded vigorously, expressing agreement.

Sylvia said for the first time: "If you judge whether a person is a knight or not based on his appearance and clothing, then this knight's status is too low, what do you think?"

"Indeed." Cassirer, a warrior from the Nilfgaardian Empire, nodded approvingly.

"In this case, let's look for clues separately!" Geralt now seems to know what Leo said just now from Regil's mouth, so he didn't say anything more, and just made a decision like this.

As a result, the two groups separated in the worker's residential area. Geralt walked along the plantation road to the manor above, while Leo and Sylvia remained in the residential area, looking for other clues.

Although they searched all the wooden houses where these workers lived just now, the search on that side was very random, and many details were not checked. In addition, Leo's attention was attracted by Geralt and others at that time, so the The search didn't work as it should, but this time Leo searched more carefully.

In the process of searching, Leo soon found a useful clue. There was a secret compartment under the floor of a room, and some money and a diary were stored in this secret compartment.

Judging from the fact that there is still money in the secret compartment that has not been taken away, the owner of this room should also be one of the missing persons, and the diary left by him can more or less provide some clues.

After Leo took out the things, he handed the money to Sylvia. Although there was a sense of self-indulgence, those missing people were probably killed, so the money became ownerless There is no question of morality or jurisprudence.

After opening the diary, Leo quickly flipped through it, looking through the diary as if on a horse.

Most of the contents in the diary are just as Leo expected, they are trivial daily matters, such as whoever offended the owner of the diary, he will definitely get revenge in the future if he squeezes out, such as fantasizing about marrying a noble lady and reaching the sky in one step, etc. Boring words, but at the end of the diary, the owner of the diary recorded everything he saw and heard at that time, and his fear was revealed between the lines, thinking that he might also become the next victim, and as expected, he really became The next missing person, I have to say that his ability to predict is very strong.
