"Mason? Mason?" Leo chewed on this familiar name over and over again. After a while, he seemed to remember something, suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said in surprise: "The Mason family, why do you think it looks so familiar?

Turns out to be the Mason family of vandals."

For a long time, the British royal family has been co-ruling the country with the domestic nobles. Therefore, in order to win over those powerful nobles, most of the British royal family will choose marriage to transfer their red rose blood.

Penetrate into the bloodlines of other nobles. Even if there is large-scale civil strife and rebellion in the Kingdom of Yingge, from a bloodline perspective, it is only the bloodline of the Red Rose family that is fighting within itself, leaving no chance for other bloodlines to take charge of the country.

The Mason family is the product of this situation. Although they can be regarded as royal nobles, compared to other nobles, they are obviously no different from common people.

Just like other aristocratic families who married into the royal family, the Mason family was once prominent. This family has produced three prime ministers of the kingdom, which can be said to be highly powerful. The royal family also married into the Mason family at that time.

However, after marrying the British royal family, the Mason family seemed to be cursed. One after another, family members had troubles, and the family's power shrank day by day. The family also fell from the most prominent family in the British kingdom to the lowest in less than ten years.

Noble family.

Nowadays, the Mason family is not much different from ordinary civilians. Except for the old castle that the Mason family still retains, the other family territories have been either sold off or paid off debts. They have long been ruined.

.

The reason why Leo knows so much about the Mason family is not because of the information he obtained from other places, but because his predecessor is also a branch of the Mason family. His grandmother in his previous life was a member of the Mason family, and there are still memories in his predecessor's remaining memories.

The experience of being taken to the Mason family castle by my grandmother.

It is precisely because of this level of kinship that Leo's predecessor also paid special attention to news about the Mason family. In the past period of time, the Gonzalez Mason signed on the paper was once considered to be the hope of the Mason family's re-emergence.

Gonzalez Mason, who was only twenty years old, graduated from the Kingdom's Naval Academy and served as the first mate of the Kingdom's famous battleship Rhine. In a conflict with the Sigma Kingdom's navy, the captain of the Rhine was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

The first mate, Gonzalez, directly took over the captain's position, and the warships he controlled continued to fight the Sigma Kingdom's warships, eventually sinking five warships, including the enemy fleet's flagship, and rushed out of the Sigma Kingdom's fleet.

Encirclement.

After returning to the Kingdom of England, Gonzalez received hero-like treatment. Not only was he promoted and raised, but he also received the extremely difficult-to-obtain Holy Emblem Medal of the Kingdom. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he makes no mistakes, he will become a new member of the Kingdom.

It is almost certain that he will become a noble with military merit.

However, what surprised everyone was that not long after receiving the Order of the Holy Emblem, Gonzalez Mason chose to resign from all military positions, used the bonus he received to buy a sailboat, and recruited some

A sailor who went to sea and became a sea adventurer.

No one knows why Gonzalez made such a choice, but they are sure that the chance for the Mason family to rise again has been lost.

After that, news about Gonzales continued to spread to the Kingdom of England. For a long time, Gonzales became a legend in the Kingdom of England, and his reputation became bigger and bigger. However, this kind of reputation

Not a good reputation, but a bad reputation.

Gonzalez seems to have some incredible good luck. Every time he goes to sea, he can always find some relics and treasures left by his predecessors. And his treasure hunting process is like a rampaging mad cow in the words of archaeologists from various countries.

Every time he brings out some belongings from those ruins and treasures, he will also actively or passively destroy the ruins completely, so he also has a bad reputation as a ruin destroyer, and the twelve countries in the world of Velen will

He is listed as one of those prohibited from entering, and other countries only allow him to stay in port cities and are not allowed to go deep into the interior.

After confirming that this was a letter written by Gonzales Mason, Leo became interested in the content of the letter.

Although the person on the letter was all dizzy from the water, and it was a blur and it was impossible to tell what the original content was, Leo still had a way to restore the content of the letter.

I saw him holding this letter, which could rot at any moment, in his hand, and then using his microscopic ability of spiritual vision, it penetrated into the top surface of the paper and carefully identified the difference in the depth of the ink.

Although the ink was smudged, due to the different depths of ink penetration, the traces of the initial writing remained intact on the paper, allowing Leo to quickly extract them and form a complete sentence.

"Cargo has arrived, Queen Mary, monitor closely." Because some parts of it cannot be restored due to rotten paper, some important contents can still be identified, and several key words and phrases in these contents were focused on by Leo.

And said it thoughtfully.

According to the contents pieced together in the letter, it is not difficult to see that Gonzalez Mason found a valuable thing from somewhere, but it was not convenient for him to transport it at the time, so he used some cruise ships to help him transport it, while his people secretly

Monitoring and protection.

The last cruise ship responsible for transporting this item was the Queen Mary on which Leo was traveling. Obviously, the cargo mentioned in this letter may be the cargo that was specially stored in the Queen Mary after the bottom warehouse was emptied.

"Is the plague on the ship related to this item?" Leo made a guess in his mind. 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 that was also soaked in sea water. It was impossible to restore the content by touching the remaining handwriting, but judging from the cover of the captain's diary, this diary was from

It was purchased from the Port of Leon, and it has the certification stamp of the Leon Chamber of Commerce. In addition, this log is still very new, and most of the pages are blank. From this, it seems that the ship has probably arrived at the port before.

The port of Lyon was blocked by the French Empire.

This also made Leo couldn't help but think of the plague that broke out in Miria City, but he soon realized that he might have thought too much.

After finding nothing of value here, Leo turned around and left the sailboat that could fall apart at any time, and then used the mental net to check the situation in the jungle on the island. He found that the little goblins he saw last night were all gone.

Apart from the hidden psychic creatures and some dilapidated wooden houses with traces of habitation, there is nothing else worthy of attention.

Leo was not in a hurry to explore other parts of the island, but chose an abandoned jungle residence closest to him and walked there.

The moment he entered the jungle, Leo felt that the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations were obviously much stronger than those on the beach or in the sea, and these spiritual energy fluctuations all came from the surrounding trees, flowers and plants. Obviously, these plants should also be a kind of

Special psychic creatures.

When Leo was in the Earth Federation, he also learned from some information that there were intelligent plants in the universe, and almost all of these intelligent plants were psykers, and the most famous among them was the Omega-level plant symbiont.

This kind of plant symbiont can create a monster that is a living thing in appearance and a plant inside. This kind of monster is almost a perfect life. They do not need to eat, they only need photosynthesis to store food, and they can not wear any protective gear.

They are drifting in the universe, and the most terrifying thing is that they can reproduce asexually, and the number of reproduction is unlimited.

With its own power and the perfect weapon race it created, the plant symbiote conquered a large number of planets until several other psychic race countries joined forces to destroy the race it created and imprisoned it in a red giant.

Only in the core of the heart can a cosmic catastrophe be solved.

Therefore, when Leo confirmed that all the plants around him were psychic creatures, he began to be in awe of the jungle on this island, and he no longer was as careless as at the beginning, and he became extra vigilant when walking.

It was precisely because of this vigilant attitude that he easily resolved the several attacks by psychic creatures he encountered after entering the jungle. What puzzled him was that these psychic creatures did not leave any residue after their death.

With doubts in his heart, Leo came to the abandoned residential area. He hardly needed to check too carefully to see that this small residential area composed entirely of wooden houses was abandoned and lived in

The people here were not forced to leave due to some accident.

Judging from the furnishing style of the house and the structure of the wooden house, the people living here should be from the United States, because there are a large number of utensils and decorations with the characteristics of the original tribes of the United States.

Due to the age, the main structures of all the houses have decayed to the point that they cannot support the entire house. The other doors, windows, roofs and walls have rotted into a pile of debris. Leo has no doubt that when he enters the house, his movements are slightly bigger.

It is possible for this house to collapse.

For this reason, Leo could only use the mental net to carefully check the situation inside. After searching several houses, he found nothing. Leo was not discouraged because of this, but continued to search unhurriedly until

His spiritual network entered a temple-like building located in the center of this small village, and he discovered something useful.

Leo put on the ring that restricted his body, and walked quietly into the temple building. He walked to a statue of a god that had completely decayed, took out a metal box from a hidden compartment at the base of the statue, and then walked back

Got outside.

I don’t know whether it was because he moved too much when he finally left, or because of the metal box he took away. The crumbling temple could no longer support it the moment he left, and it collapsed.

The noise of the temple's collapse also affected other decaying houses in the village, and then all the buildings in the village were seen collapsing almost simultaneously, turning into a pile of rotten wood.

In the dust that filled the sky, Leo walked out of the village and came to the grass outside the village. Then he sat down anywhere and opened the metal box in his hand.

I saw that the box was just an ordinary box. After opening it, there was no magical item worthy of attention. There was only a bark book made of tree bark.

Bark books were a specialty book of some tribes in the early Moissan continent. Books at that time were very expensive. In the Kingdom of Sigmar, they were already so expensive that only nobles and wealthy businessmen could buy them. After being shipped to the Moissanite continent, the price was tens of times higher.

Turn up.

Some tribes in the Moissan continent had deep contact with the Kingdom of Sigmar. They were extremely yearning for outside things and hoped to learn some knowledge about the outside world. However, expensive books kept them away. Until a young man from a tribe invented the bark book.

The problem has been solved, and because of its low price, easy production and preservation, the influence of bark books is not only on the Moissanite continent, but also the so-called civilized countries in the other two continents have begun to try to produce low-cost books.

bark books, sold to the poor.

This situation was not until someone accidentally produced a piece of white paper that is commonly used today when making a bark book, so that the current paper books replaced the bark book and the early parchment scrolls.

In fact, after so many years, the method of making bark books has long been forgotten. Even if someone remembers it, it is only some archaeologists. As for ordinary civilians, they have not even heard of parchment books, let alone bark books.

.

The bark book now in the box is very beautifully made. It can be seen that the person who made this bark book is very proficient in this craft. From the threads used to intersperse the bark to the pages of the bark book itself, they are all made of

Made using a very ancient method.

Leo himself didn't know much about bark books, but he saw a bark book made in ancient ways from Rembrandt, and heard Rembrandt mention the evolution of bark books.

, looking back now, it was enough for him to judge that the method of making this bark book should have been popular in the Moissan continent during the Kingdom of Sigmar or the Maritime Overlord. In other words, the person who made this bark book was either from this method.

The inheritors of the skills are either the indigenous people of Moissan continent hundreds of years ago.

After Leo looked through the bark book, he saw the lines of words about the Kingdom of Sigmar, and he was a little more certain of his previous guesses.

However, he was soon attracted by the content of this bark book, because the content of this book was somewhat beyond his expectation, because this bark book was not only a religious scripture, but also a corpse collector.

of scripture.

When Leo was in the dream world, he had read the Corpse Collector's Codex. Although the content in this bark book was somewhat different from the Corpse Collector's Codex he had read, the themes were the same, and the description of the Corpse Collector was the same.

Likewise, there is no doubt that the god wandering in the abyss mentioned in this book is the Corpse Collector.
