Chapter 310: Exploring the Abandoned Village
"Mason?Mason?" Leo chewed on the familiar name repeatedly, and after a while he seemed to remember something, and suddenly showed a sudden expression, and said in surprise: "The Mason family, why do I say it is so familiar? It turned out to be the Mason family's monument destroyer." ”
The Inge royal family has been in a situation of co-governing the country with domestic nobles for a long time, so in order to win over those powerful nobles, most of the Inge royal family will choose to marry and infiltrate the blood of their red roses into the blood of other nobles. Even if there is a large-scale civil strife and rebellion in the Kingdom of Inge, it is only the bloodline of the Red Rose family that is fighting in the bloodline, and it does not give other bloodlines the slightest chance to rule the country.
The Mason family is a product of this situation, although they can also be regarded as royal nobles, but compared to other nobles, they are obviously no different from commoners.
Like other aristocratic families that married into the royal family, the Mason family was also prominent, this family had three prime ministers of the kingdom, which can be described as a high power, and the royal family also married with the Mason family at that time.
It's just that after marrying the English royal family, the Mason family seems to be cursed, and the family members have had accidents one after another, the family's power is shrinking day by day, and the family has fallen from the most prominent family in the English Kingdom to the lowest aristocratic family in less than ten years.
Nowadays, the Mason family is no different from ordinary civilians, and except for an old castle, the other family territories have either been sold or repaid, and they have long been lost.
The reason why Leo knows so much about the Mason family is not because he obtained information from other places, but because the predecessor is also a side branch of the Mason family, and his maternal grandmother in the previous life is a member of the Mason family, and in the remaining memories of the previous body, there is also the experience of being taken by his maternal grandmother to the Mason family castle.
It is precisely because of this layer of kinship that Leo's predecessor also paid special attention to the news about the Mason family. For some time in the past, the signed Gonzares Mason was once considered the hope of the Mason family's resurgence.
At the age of twenty, Gonsares Mason graduated from the Royal Naval Academy and served as the first mate of the famous warship Rhine of the Royal Navy. In a conflict with the Sigma Kingdom Navy, the captain of the Rhine was seriously injured and unconscious, and as the first mate, Gonzales directly replaced the captain, and the warships under his control continued to engage the ships of the Sigma Kingdom, and finally sank five warships, including the flagship of the enemy fleet, and broke out of the encirclement of the Sigma Kingdom fleet.
After returning to the Kingdom of Inge, Gonzares was treated like a hero, not only with a promotion and a salary increase, but also with the extremely difficult acquisition of the Order of the Kingdom Emblem, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he does not make mistakes, becoming the new military nobleman in the kingdom is almost a sure thing.
However, to everyone's surprise, not long after receiving the Order of the Holy Emblem, Justis Mason chose to resign from all military positions, and with the prize money he received, he bought a sailing ship, recruited some crew members, and went to sea to become an adventurer at sea.
No one knew why Gonzares had made such a choice, but they were certain that the Masons' chance to rise again had been lost.
After that, news about Gonzares continued to reach the Kingdom of Inge, and for a long time Gonzares became a legend of the Kingdom of Inge, and his reputation grew, but this reputation was not a good name, but a bad name.
Gonzares seems to have had some incredible fortune, and every time he goes out to sea, he always finds some relics and treasures left by his predecessors, and his treasure hunt is, in the words of archaeologists from all over the world, a mad cow on a rampage.
Every time he brought out some possessions from those ruins and treasures, he would also actively or passively destroy the ruins completely, so he also had a bad reputation as a ruin-destroyer, and the twelve countries of the Velen World listed him as one of the people who were forbidden to enter, and the other countries only allowed him to stay in the port city, not to go inland.
After confirming that it was a letter written by Gonsale Mason, Leo became interested in the contents of the letter.
Although all of the self on the letter was fainted by the water, and it was vague that he could not see what the original content was, Leo still had a way to restore the contents of the letter.
I saw that he put this letter in his hand, which would rot at any time, and then penetrated the most surface of the paper through the microscopic ability of spiritual vision, carefully identifying the difference in the depth of ink.
Although the ink was blurred, because of the different shades of ink penetration, the traces of the initial writing were left intact on the paper, allowing Leo to quickly extract them and form complete sentences.
"The cargo arrives at the port, Queen Mary, closely watched. Because some of them can't be restored because of the rotten paper, there are still some important things that can be recognized, and a few key words and phrases in these contents are focused on by Leo, and he mutters thoughtfully.
According to the contents of the letter, it is not difficult to see that just Sarres Mason found a valuable object from somewhere, but he was not convenient to transport it at that time, so he used some cruise ships to help him transport it, and his people secretly monitored and protected it.
The last cruise ship responsible for the transport of this item was the Queen Mary on which Leo was traveling, and it is clear that the letter mentioned that the cargo may have been the one that the Queen Mary had stored after the bottom compartment had been emptied.
"Does the plague on the ship have anything to do with this item?" Leo guessed in his mind, and although there was no direct evidence, he felt that this guess was probably true.
Leo searched the captain's room again, and found a captain's diary, which had also been soaked in seawater, and could no longer be restored with the remaining handwriting, but judging from the cover of the captain's diary, it was purchased from the port of León, and it also had the certified steel seal of the León Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the journal is very new, and most of the pages are blank, so it is likely that the ship had previously arrived at the port of Lyon, which was banned by the French Empire.
This also reminded Leo of the plague that had broken out in Miria City, but soon realized that he might be thinking too much.
After finding nothing of value here, Leo turned away from the sailboat, which was about to fall apart, and then used the spirit web to check the situation in the jungle of the island. He found that the goblins he had seen last night were all gone, and there was nothing to watch out for other than the hidden psionic creatures and a few dilapidated wooden huts with signs of habitation.
Leo was not in a hurry to explore the rest of the island, choosing the nearest abandoned jungle dwelling to him.
The moment he entered the jungle, Leo felt that the psionic fluctuations around him were obviously much stronger than those on the beach or in the sea, and these psionic fluctuations were all from the surrounding trees and flowers, and it was obvious that these plants should also be a special kind of psionic creatures.
When Leo was in the Earth Federation, he also knew from some sources that there were intelligent plants in the universe, and these intelligent plants were almost all psionic beings, and the most famous of them was the omega-level plant symbiont.
This plant symbiote can create a monster that is a creature on the outside and a plant on the inside, this monster is almost a perfect life, they don't need to eat, they only need photosynthesis to be able to stock, and they can drift in the universe without any protective gear, and the most terrifying thing is that they can reproduce asexually, and the number of reproductions is unlimited.
The plant symbiote conquered a large number of planets by virtue of its own strength, coupled with the perfect weapon race it created, until several other psionic race nations joined forces to destroy the race it created and imprison it in the heart core of a red giant star.
So, when Leo confirmed that all the plants around him were psionic creatures, he began to be in awe of the jungle of the island, and he was no longer as careless as he was at the beginning, and he was extra vigilant when walking.
It was precisely because of this vigilant attitude that the several psionic creature attacks he encountered after entering the jungle were easily resolved, and what made him a little puzzled was that these psionic creatures did not have any residue after death.
With doubts in his mind, Leo arrived at the abandoned settlement, and he could hardly see that the small settlement, which was made up entirely of wooden houses, had been abandoned, and that the people who lived there had not been forced to leave by accident.
Judging from the furnishings of the house and the structure of the wooden houses, the people who lived here should have come from the United States, because there are a large number of utensils and decorations that bear the characteristics of the primitive tribes of the United States.
Due to its age, the main structure of all the houses had decayed to the point that they could no longer support the entire house, and the other doors, windows, roofs, and walls had rotted into a pile of debris, and Leo had no doubt that he could collapse the house if he entered the house with a little more movement.
For this reason, Leo could only use the spirit net to carefully check the situation inside, and after searching a few houses, there was no gain, Leo was not discouraged by this, but continued to search unhurriedly, until his spirit net entered a temple-like building in the center of this small village, and he found something useful.
Leo put on the ring that restricted his body, walked lightly into the temple building, walked over to a statue that had completely decayed, took out a metal box from a dark compartment at the base of the statue, and walked back outside.
I don't know if it was because he moved too much when he left at the end, or because of the metal box he had taken, the crumbling temple could no longer hold up the moment he left, and collapsed, and the movement of the temple collapse also affected the other decaying houses in the village, and then all the buildings in the village collapsed almost simultaneously, becoming a pile of rotting and broken wood.
In the dust, Leo walked out of the village and came to the grass outside the village, then sat down and opened the metal box in his hand.
I saw that the box was just an ordinary box, and there were no magical items worth paying attention to after opening, only a bark book made of tree bark.
The bark book was a special product of some tribes in the early days of the Moissanite continent, because the books were very expensive at that time, and in the Sigma kingdom itself, they were so expensive that only nobles and wealthy merchants could buy them, and after they were shipped to the Moissanite continent, the price increased tenfold.
Some tribes in Moissanite have deep contact with the Kingdom of Sigma, and they are extremely yearning for things from the outside world, hoping to learn some knowledge from the outside world, but expensive books make them have to be discouraged. It wasn't until a young tribe invented the bark book that the problem was solved, and because of its cheapness, coupled with the ease of making and preservation, the influence of the bark book was not only in the Moissan, but also in the so-called civilized countries of the other two continents began to try to make low-cost bark books and sell them to the poor.
It was not until someone inadvertently made a blank sheet of paper that was now commonly used in the making of bark books, that the current paper books replaced the bark books and the early parchment scrolls.
In fact, after so many years, the method of making the bark book has long been forgotten, and if anyone remembers, it is only some archaeologists, and the average civilian has not even heard of the parchment, let alone the parchment.
Now the bark book inside the box is very beautifully made, which shows that the person who made this bark book was very skilled in this skill, from the thread used to intersperse the bark to the pages of the bark book itself, all of which were made using very ancient methods.
Leo himself didn't know much about the bark book, but he had seen a bark book made of ancient methods from the old man Rembrandt, and heard the old man Rembrandt mention the evolution of the bark book, and now in retrospect, it was enough for him to judge that the method of making this bark book should be popular in Moisan during the period when the Sigma Kingdom or the sea overlord of the sea was in vogue, that is to say, the person who made this bark book was either the inheritor of this skill, or the indigenous people of Mozambit hundreds of years ago.
Leo flipped through the bark book and saw the lines of Sigmar Kingdom's words, and his mind was a little more sure of his previous guess.
However, he was soon intrigued by the contents of the bark book, because the contents of the book were somewhat unexpected, because the bark book was not only a religious canon, but also a canon for corpse collectors.
When Leo was in the dream world, he had read the canon of the corpse collector, although the content of this bark book was somewhat different from the canon of the corpse collector he read, but the subject matter was the same, and the description of the corpse collector was the same, there is no doubt that the god who wandered in the abyss mentioned in this book was the corpse collector.
And in this canon, it is mentioned that there is a very interesting thing, that is, the collectors do not dare to approach this small island.
