The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 996: Castle Past

"Does the Church of Poseidon have the right to take the information of the Black Castle?" Leo asked when he heard the castle steward's words.

"Under normal circumstances, it is not possible," the castle steward explained calmly: "However, the main hall of the Neptune Church and the black castle were built at the same time, and the builder is the same person. The construction materials of these two buildings are also mixed together. . When the Black Castle was renovated in the past, it also requested the materials from the Poseidon Church at that time, so this time the Poseidon Church just retrieved the materials that were borrowed that year."

Although the reasons are good, Leo always feels a little weird and asks: "Is there a new copy of that material?"

"No." The castle steward replied truthfully: "Because the material is too old, the language used is Kubu Hakka, and it is still handwritten. Unless it is an expert who has studied Kubu Hakka, it will be difficult to copy accurately. One copy. In addition, the content of the data is the basic part of the building of the Black Castle and the main sacrificial hall. After the black castle has been renovated several times, the main building has changed somewhat. Copies."

Leo was silent for a while and said, "You can go down. I want someone to look at the information here."

The castle steward paid Leo a salute and said, "I will arrange for someone to wait at the door. If there is any need, I can tell him to do it."

When he was finished, he walked out.

When the castle steward came to the door, Leo suddenly asked, "Are you a believer in the Church of Poseidon?"

The butler of the castle stopped, looked back at Leo, and nodded: "Yes, sir. I am a believer in the Church of Poseidon, not only I am, almost everyone in the castle is a believer in the Church of Poseidon. Doyle, you want to find a non-Poseidon believer, I am afraid it is difficult."

Leo said nothing more. The castle steward waited for a while. Seeing Leo asked no more questions, he walked out of the library and closed the door.

In fact, Leo had already known that most of the people in the Black Castle were believers in the Church of Poseidon before the inquiry, and the castle steward was also a devout believer of the Church of Poseidon. When Sylvia got the Black Castle It has been investigated clearly that even everyone has undergone loyalty tests, and such tests are regularly conducted to ensure that the people in the castle are loyal.

His enquiry just wanted to find out about the castle’s housekeeper concealing something because of the Neptune Church’s earliest original building materials, and Leo can be sure that the castle housekeeper is certain through the physiological details such as the heartbeat of the other party Something was concealed, but in the housekeeper's consciousness, these things should not deviate from the loyalty to the master of the black castle Sylvia.

Although a suspicious point was found, Leo did not intend to force him to conceal the things he concealed from the castle steward, because in his opinion, the castle steward did not know what the use of the things he concealed was. The materials that the church took away proceed.

After Leo had a plan in his mind, he turned his attention to the materials left by the stewards of the castles in the current collection. Although these materials were useless in the opinion of the Church of Poseidon, in Leo’s eyes, These data may have a greater effect on him.

Although there are a lot of materials in the library, at Leo's speed of reading, before the arrival of the dinner, he has already read all the information and recorded it in the brain database. analysis.

"Is there any gain?" Back to Sylvia's study, Sylvia had finished processing the accumulated documents and was playing with Little Tolan and Elin. When Leo came in from outside, he signaled The others in the room withdrew before asking.

Leo briefly talked about his discovery of the castle butler.

Sylvia was silent for a moment, and said very positively: "The housekeeper should have no problems. He is loyal, but the things you mentioned are indeed doubtful. How are you going to investigate?"

Leo thought for a while and said, "After two days, I will go to the city and take a look at the situation of the Poseidon Church here, to see if there is a chance to enter the Poseidon Church to get the information and take a look."

After thinking about it, Sylvia nodded in agreement with Leo’s decision, and then sighed again, saying, “If I didn’t resign from the position of the Orthodox Court’s adjudicator, then I can call some information from the Orthodox Court. Let’s take a look. An important building like the main chapel in a holy place in the church must have a backup stub of construction materials in the Orthodox Church."

Leo shook his head and said, "It's not necessary! Now that you know there is something wrong with this castle, you only need to investigate the castle carefully to find out."

After that, the two didn't discuss this matter any more, but cooperated with the children to play and dine together like an ordinary parent and couple.

At night, Sylvia took care of the two little guys and slept in the master bedroom. Leo went to another room just across the door. He was lying on the bed as if he was sleeping, actually in his head quickly Analyze and sort out the data recorded during the day.

Although the housekeeper of the Black Castle has the traditional responsibility of recording all kinds of things happening in the castle, they don’t record everything. After all, if they really record everything, their family can’t always be. He has taken up the position of housekeeper in the castle.

Most of the things recorded in the castle housekeeper’s diary are just everyday things that happened in the castle and some major events, such as a French emperor who was born in the castle, and the castle was once under siege by a large thief. and many more.

Although the castle steward will try to avoid touching the privacy of the castle owner as much as possible when writing the diary, but their habit of recording things around them still makes them unconsciously use some short words to mention it when they consciously avoid some things. Those things.

After analysis, Leo easily found a large amount of privacy content related to the owner of the castle in these diaries, and most of these contents were related to the romance of the castle owner.

However, these romantic stories are not worthless, because some of these romantic stories will be related to some legends in the castle, and even the origin of some legends, and these seemingly absurd legends often hide some useful information. .

Through repeated analysis and screening, Leo eventually screened out most of the contents of these diaries, and only kept a small part of what seemed to be scattered and unconnected.

After Leo’s analysis, he found that the content he had kept was superficially not related to each other. They were all independent fragmented records, but in fact, these fragments completely surrounded the two. The concern is the follow-up development and extension of the two things, and if the two things are integrated, you can discover some hidden secrets about the castle.

Among the two things, one was the death festival of the Great Fish Festival. This event was considered a major event in Randall, but this event was spread to the outside world because it involved the French royal family who controlled the castle at that time. not many.

However, this incident was recorded by the castle butler at that time, and was not limited, which is also one of the few complete records of those butler notes.

As its name implies, this event took place at a big fish festival in Randall. The big fish festival is one of the most important festivals for residents of the fishing villages in the southern port of Velun mainland. It is equivalent to the harvest season of other towns. After the fishing boat returns to Hong Kong, the next day is the Big Fish Festival. The fleet that has harvested in the festival will take out the best catch in the hands and dedicate it to Poseidon. After that, the whole city will fall into its four days. Carnival, the boat will be closed after the carnival, and this year's marine fishing will be completely stopped.

This is also a very important festival for the Church of Poseidon. They not only send their own clerics and sacrifices, but also lobby the city government to release some prisoners who did not commit serious crimes to show the tolerance of Poseidon.

However, in this big fish festival recorded by the castle's housekeeper, there was a major accident. A death row prisoner who committed a felony and would be executed after half a month bought the city government's staff responsible for releasing the criminals. The name was added to the release list, which resulted in the death row of this sinister death row being released on the day of the Big Fish Festival.

Originally, after the death row was released, it was okay to run away directly, so that it would not be recorded by the housekeeper, but he did not know what to think in his mind. After he escaped, he gathered his men and took advantage of the Black Castle. People took part in the Great Fish Festival, slackened their defensive opportunities, sneaked into the main castle through an unknown secret path, killed the soldiers guarding the main castle, and hijacked a royal prince who was on holiday in the main castle.

At that time, the guards of the outer castle and the inner castle found that they had been attacked, immediately blocked all entrances and exits, and sent people to negotiate while looking for people at the city government and the Poseidon church. Soon the city government was surprised and The Paladins of the Church of Poseidon came over.

After deliberation, they planned to sneak into the main castle through two other secret paths, save the prince first, and then resolve those desperate.

However, what people did not expect was that when they sneaked into the main castle, they found that there was no one in the main castle. Not only those desperate people died, but also the kidnapped prince and the captain of the castle. , Servants, etc. have all disappeared.

At that time, some people speculated that the dead men led by the death row should also know a secret passage to leave the castle, so when they saw the outside being besieged and unable to break through, they pressed the hostages and left the secret path.

But this speculation was refuted by people at that time, because too many people disappeared, not counting those desperate. At that time, there were more than 300 servants working in the main castle, and the general secret can only accommodate one person at most. At that time, there was not so much time for everyone to leave the secret path.

Even when the Black Castle was built, a very spacious secret road was built, enough for hundreds of people to enter and leave at the same time, but those desperate people have no need to take away the castle’s housekeepers, servants, and other people who do not have any kidnapping value. Just walk the Empire Prince.

Therefore, the speculation of leaving the secret road was quickly denied, and it was later proved that the speculation was wrong, because the desperate men, the kidnapped imperial prince, and the servants of the castle did not reappear, even the corpses. No.

This incident also became a sensational case at that time. The fate of the desperate men and the prince became a mystery. As for the castle servants who also disappeared, no one cared.

Later, the successor of the castle butler also recorded this matter in his diary in detail.

But the matter didn't end there. Then the servants working in the main castle all agreed that they saw someone in the main castle at night. Some people recognized that these people were the servants who had disappeared before, and even some people saw it. Desperados who hijacked the prince and others.

It’s just that after they saw these disappeared people, they wanted to step forward to catch them, but the people who were clearly not far away disappeared in their eyes. For a time, the ghost of the Black Castle became Randall. One of the urban legends.

What is more interesting is that many people saw the disappeared people in the castle, but among the disappeared people, only the death row prisoner and the held prince did not appear, so some people said that The death row and the prince are actually alive.

From the records of the castle butler, the ghosts of the black castle only lasted for more than thirty years and then stopped. No one saw any ghosts in the castle anymore.

From the perspective of these written records, this matter has nothing to do with the extraordinary power except for the ghost of the black castle that seems to be related to the extraordinary power~lightnovelpub.net~ But Leo thinks this The incident is probably related to the hidden secret of Wanghaiya, because this incident reminds him of another similar record he has seen, an accident that occurred in the Earth Federation.

Leo was once assigned to assist a recovery unit to go to a strange galaxy to recover a lost spaceship. On the way, he found information related to that spacecraft and made a recovery plan. Among the information about that spacecraft The accident that mentioned the loss of the spacecraft was due to the mysterious disappearance of the crew.

This mysterious disappearance is not that one day the crew disappeared, but one second that the crew disappeared. In the previous second, the spacecraft's liaison officer was still reporting to the headquarters of the normal mission, and the next second loudspeaker There was no sound. At the same time, the headquarter's intelligent master brain contacted the spacecraft's control system to retrieve data and found that the entire spacecraft's people disappeared in less than a second.

This situation is just like what happened at the Black Castle at that time. The first minute was still in discussion with the Desperado. When the rescue team led by the Paladin rushed into the main castle in the next second, everyone disappeared.

And this matter is not over yet, and the ghost incident that happened in the Black Castle happened in that spaceship.
