"Is Lisa okay?" Sergef looked a little embarrassed after looking away from Fat Robert, and he hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Still alive." The woman responded angrily, obviously she was still angry about her experience.

Sherf smiled awkwardly and didn't ask any more questions. The atmosphere in the carriage returned to its initial state of silence, but at this time, there was an inexplicable embarrassment in the atmosphere.

"My name is Robert!" Perhaps because he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere in the car, as the car started to slowly start, Robert sat cross-legged on the bed, turned to the woman, and asked: "I haven't asked the lady for your name yet.

.”

"Ylang of Colonza." The woman couldn't stand the situation inside the carriage, so she followed Fat Robert's painting and told her her own identity.

Just like the state form of Velen Continent, in addition to the two major national forces of the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France, there are also kingdoms composed of small city-states such as the Hannossa League in the north, which are barely surviving.

Similarly, in addition to the three major powers on the Minsk mainland, there are also some small city-state kingdoms that exist at the junction of the three countries. In addition to playing some buffering roles, these city-state kingdoms also play a role in promoting the trade of major countries.

The Principality of Colonsa is a small city-state at the junction of the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Dalyat. It is the main transit point for goods from the two countries. Most of the people living there are mixed races of the two kingdoms. The Grand Duke who rules there

Both have the status of dukes in both kingdoms, so people in the Principality of Colonsa are born with nationalities of both countries.

Due to their special status, most of the Colonsa people make a living as businessmen, so the Colonsa people are also very wealthy.

Perhaps because he was too rich, the previous generations of Grand Dukes of Colonsa felt very scared, fearing that the two countries would treat him as a piece of fat and separate him, so he found a reason to pay a certain amount to both countries.

The commercial taxes, which can actually be said to be protection fees, have allowed the Principality of Colonsa to always maintain stability despite the somewhat turbulent political relations between the North and the South.

After hearing that Yilan was from Colonsa, neither Robert nor Sherf showed any surprise. In fact, one in ten people in the counties on the northern border of the Kingdom of Maris has Colonsa ancestry.

Or Colonsa native place.

However, after hearing the other party's self-introduction, Leo felt that the name was slightly familiar. He thought about it quietly and asked Yilan: "Are you the scholar Yilan Sasa who wrote the hypothesis of Velen's fifth era?"

Perhaps because Sherf and Robert had attracted most of the attention, Yilan had completely forgotten about Leo's existence just now. It wasn't until Leo spoke now that she suddenly became aware of the man lying on the bunk opposite her.

of strangers.

After noticing Leo's presence, she couldn't help but feel confused, because although the movements and words of the three people just now were not very loud, they were enough to make people see that something was wrong, but the person opposite did not show any signs of it at all.

The unusual behavior, as if what just happened was just an ordinary thing, made her wonder about his identity, and she forgot to answer Leo's question for a while.

It wasn't until Leo asked for the second time that Yilan reacted and quickly denied: "No, no! That book was not written by me." But she soon changed the subject and said, "That book was not written by me.

It was written by my mother, who is Yilan Sasa."

"Oh!" Leo responded simply, and then lost the idea of ​​talking to the other party.

The reason why Leo suddenly mentioned Yilan Sasa was mainly because of a historical hypothesis she published. This hypothesis was published in an internal journal of the Abnormal Society, and the article written in that journal

They are all related to the prehistoric relics excavated in various places in the world of Velen, but others write articles based on the research of a single relic. Only Yilan Sasa talks about integrating all the relics to create a fifth era.

hypothesis.

In her hypothesis, she believed that the world of Velen has gone through five eras so far. The first era was the Age of Chaos, then the Age of Wasteland, then the Age of Deep Sea, then the Age of Gods, and finally the current era of steam.

era.

Leo didn't know whether the Five Era hypothesis was correct, but now, according to what he knew, several of the eras mentioned in the Five Era hypothesis were confirmed. He wanted to know how the other party inferred it.

from these eras.

In addition, one thing was mentioned at the end of that hypothesis, that is, the humans living in the world of Velen now are not creatures that evolved natively in the world of Velen, but alien creatures, outsiders from the stars in the sky.

It is precisely because of this that Leo is a little curious about Yilan Sasa.

"Are you Ms. Sasa's daughter?" After hearing Yilan Sasa's name, Fat Robert looked at the woman opposite with some surprise. It was obvious that Yilan Sasa had an unusual relationship with the black market.

"Who are you?" Seeing Fat Robert's reaction, Yilan felt that this man might know her mother and couldn't help but ask.

"I am Little Robert Chris, the person in charge of the black market in Dry Steel City." Fat Robert introduced himself with a smile.

"Black market!" Yilan was stunned for a moment, then her face became a little gloomy and disgusted, and then she said to Fat Robert very coldly: "Please don't talk to me anymore, I want to read a book."

After saying that, regardless of Robert's reaction, he directly picked up a book and put it in front of his eyes. He didn't know whether he was really reading or pretending to read.

The other party suddenly turned against him, catching Fat Robert off guard. The confused look on his face showed that he had no idea what was going on.

Just when Robert was about to ask, Sherf on the opposite side said lazily: "The Farris Incident."

After Robert heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face, and he swallowed the words he was about to ask again.

As an observer, Leo quickly searched out some information about the Faris incident and understood why Yilan had such an attitude.

Fallis is a small city located on the border between Maris and Savile, but it is famous for the relics of a prehistoric civilization found in the wasteland outside the city. It was discovered by the First Public College of the Kingdom of Maris and excavated

.

However, when the First Public College just started digging, it was stopped because someone took out the title deed of the land, indicating that the land was private land and the things in the land were personal belongings.

All the academic scholars and workers in charge of the excavation were driven away.

Naturally, the scholars of the First Public College would not let this prehistoric relic fall into private hands. They all mobilized their own efforts and asked the government to intervene in order to revoke the ownership of this private land. If this failed, they would also allow the excavation of this relic.

The right is given to the college.

This matter was a big deal at the time, because the scholars' demands violated the sanctity of private property in Article 9 of the Kingdom's First Constitution. Once the judgment revokes private land ownership, this constitution, which is the foundation of the Kingdom, will also be

If it fails, the foundation of the kingdom will inevitably be shaken.

Therefore, the whole kingdom was paying special attention to this matter at that time, and various discussions were held in various parliaments across the kingdom.

However, the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected in the end. When the matter reached its peak and the First Academy submitted its petition to the Supreme Court of the Kingdom, the prosecutor of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom discovered that the private land recorded in the petition was

The contract does not exist. There is no such contract in Kingdom Dare. When they went to find the person who claimed to be the owner of the land, they found that this person also did not exist.

At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong, and turned their attention from the first college's petition to the ruins on the so-called private land. Only then did they discover that the ruins had been treated extremely violently.

It was thoroughly excavated, all the relics and items that were considered to have some value were removed, and most of the remaining relics and buildings were destroyed. It can be said that this relic has been completely destroyed.

At this time, everyone knew that the First Public College had been tricked, and because of this incident, the First Public College had become the laughing stock of the people of the kingdom for a long time, and its reputation plummeted, and it has not recovered until now.

The official of the Kingdom of Maris has not yet found out who did this. However, in the dark world, it is almost an open secret, because just after the incident,

Within half a month, the black market took out a batch of ancient items produced in the Faris ruins for auction. Although the black market claimed to be entrusted by others, in fact anyone with a little bit of brains knew that this was just an excuse for the black market.

Forget it, the black market is another protagonist of the Fallis incident.

Most people in the First Public School are unaware of the role of the black market in this matter, but a dark world organization like the library can naturally receive all kinds of information and intelligence. The bachelor sitting opposite Yilan

The service has obvious characteristics of the First Public College, so it is reasonable for her to have this attitude towards Fat Robert, who is the manager of the black market.

The train was driving slowly on the track. Although the speed was more than half slower than the steam train, I don't know if special devices were added in ancient times. The vibration of the carriage was much smaller, and some were added to the partitions of the carriage.

Cork chips that reduce noise make the cabin feel extra quiet.

Time passed little by little, and Leo quickly finished reading the ancient book in his hand, put it on the table aside, then lay on the bed, entered deep consciousness, and sorted, summarized, and created all kinds of things he had mastered as usual.

ability.

At this time, Yilan's glasses couldn't help but look at the ancient book that Leo put on the table. She could tell that the binding of the ancient book should come from the Savile Kingdom, and she could also tell that the ancient book should be some years old.

This made her wonder what exactly was recorded in this ancient book.

The Kingdom of Savile is recognized as the country with the most ancient ruins in the entire Velen world. It is no exaggeration to say that if you randomly pick up a stone in a desert in the Kingdom of Savile, that stone may come from a building or other prehistoric civilization.

thing.

It is also because the Savile Kingdom has so many ancient ruins that many people suspect that the ancient tribes of the Savile Kingdom may be the remnants of prehistoric civilization, and those remnants are more likely to record things about prehistoric civilization.

Although scholars from various countries want to study clues related to prehistoric civilization through the records left by various tribes in the Savile Kingdom, the traditional power of the Savile Kingdom is very powerful, coupled with the strength of the Church of the Lord of All Creation and Death, scholars from various countries have

There is no way to get access to any truly valuable information.

Now there is a book that is suspected to be an ancient book from the tribe of the Saville Kingdom. As a researcher of ancient ruins, Yilan is naturally itchy. After hesitating for a long time, she broke the silence for a long time and asked Leo:

"Can I have a look at this book?"

Leo did not answer, but pointed at the book on the table to express his agreement.

Yilan couldn't wait to pick up the book and read it carefully. Because the book was written in the ancient language of the Savile tribe, it contained a lot of dialects and spoken grammar of the Savile tribe. In addition, it was a handwritten copy.

Reading this book is a bit difficult for her, as she needs to read the same paragraph many times.

However, while she felt that she had some difficulty reading this book, she also admired Leo's knowledge very much, because she just saw that Leo read this book as easily as an ordinary best-seller.

It undoubtedly represents that his knowledge is extraordinary.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages and discovering that most of the content in the book was just a record of the daily affairs of the Kaka tribe, Yilan lost interest in the book and put the book back on the table.

She hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but feel curious, and asked Leo: "Which college are you a linguistics instructor in?"

Leo didn't answer, but the fat man Robert on the upper bunk couldn't help but said for Leo: "He is Mr. Leo Dodd. If you know anything about the dark world, you should know that he may be the tower

The last inheritor of wizard knowledge."

"Tower Wizard?" The look on Yilan's face was startled. She knew very well the status of Tower Wizard in the dark world, and she also knew very well that Tower Wizard represented almost divine power, but there was actually a successor to the Tower Wizard in front of her.

The person was in front of her, which made her feel a little shocked and a little unbelievable.

However, despite being shocked, she couldn't help but become interested in Leo, because in the library's research on prehistoric civilization, more than one person had speculated that the tower wizards might be the inheritors of prehistoric civilization knowledge, and their origins were even greater than those of gods.

More distant.
