The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What is this? Ingesting knowledge" Elder Rembrandt looked at the transparent liquid in the five test tubes, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but soon he thought of the few wizard notebooks in Leo's hand, and his face couldn't help but With a surprised look on his face, he said excitedly, "Is this the wizard potion you made according to the recipe in the wizard's notes?"

Leo nodded, and said: "I can't make too complicated potions yet, I can only make the simplest healing potions. The effect has been tried before. It can restore people's energy, and it is also very helpful for some hidden injuries to the human body."

At this time, Vaschi also came up curiously, picked up a potion and looked at it carefully, and said, "Is this the wizard's healing potion? Why is it different from ours?"

"Do you also have the wizard's healing potion on hand?" Leo couldn't help but asked in a daze.

The old man didn't speak, just pointed to the medicine bottles corresponding to the tubes on his body, then he picked up a healing potion made by Leo, uncorked the bottle, put it under his nose and sniffed it, maybe he didn't smell it Any smell, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and then he was seen wanting to pour the medicine into his mouth.

"Let me try it first!" As a servant, Vaschi was very responsible, even though she didn't think that Leo would harm the old man in her heart, she still instinctively stretched out her hand to stop it.

The old man shook his head, pushed Vaschi's hand away, and then Lu swallowed the medicine in the bottle into his mouth without hesitation. Soon the medicine took effect, and the old man's face became much rosier. And the eyebrows that were tightened were also stretched a little.

Immediately afterwards, as if something was stuffed in his throat, he couldn't help but raised his head, stretched his neck, and coughed a few times vigorously, only to see a mouthful of sticky thick phlegm with dark red blood clots spit out from his mouth, and then He spit out a few more mouthfuls, and the expression on his face became more relaxed with each mouthful of thick phlegm.

"It's so comfortable! It hasn't been this comfortable for a long time!" After no more thick phlegm spit out of his mouth, the old man took a deep breath, showing a rare soothing look on his face, and said with a smile like a relieved expression.

Vaschi cleaned up the dirt on the ground, picked up another potion, looked at it, and asked Leo very seriously: "Is this potion easy to make?"

"You want to learn?" Leo was startled and said.

Vaschi nodded.

Leo hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not difficult to make the potion. You only need three common herbs, but I'm not sure whether the potion you made will have the same final effect as the potion I made?"

"What does this mean?" Vaschi frowned, thinking that Leo was perfunctory her, a little displeased.

As if testing Adeline, Leo raised his hand to release the spiritual energy, formed a square, and said, "What shape is the thing in my hand?"

Vaschi was stunned, then looked at Leo's hand, blinked her eyes, suddenly there was a layer of golden film on her eyeballs, making her eyeballs look like gold.

"Square." Vaschi quickly gave the answer.

Leo said: "Now you use your magic power to create a square like me."

"Ah?" Vaschi was completely stunned. Although her bloodline gave her a powerful magic power, the magic power in her body was used for fighting. Let her use magic power to cast spells to kill people or something. It's very simple, but it's a bit difficult for her to control the magic power and make such a magic power square.

Knowing that Vaschi had already understood the difficulty of making medicine, Leo dissipated the psionic energy in his hand, and then said to the old Rembrandt who watched the test process with relish: "During the time I live here, I will help you make another Some medicines, but the herbs need to be provided by yourself."

"Yes." The old man could feel the effect of this medicine, and the pain in his body disappeared the moment the medicine took effect, and he spit out the thick phlegm that was clogged in his lungs, which made him feel depressed. Disappeared, the whole person felt much more comfortable. With such a powerful potion, he naturally wished to keep a few more bottles on him.

But the old man quickly changed the subject, and said with a very formal expression: "However, your healing potion can only be regarded as accommodation expenses. The books in my study are the most precious knowledge in the world. It's not about using a few bottles of wizard potions. can be exchanged.”

"What if knowledge is exchanged for knowledge?" Leo had expected this, so he took out his trump card and said, "How about the third root of Gamore language?"

The old man's eyes widened when he heard the words. Although he didn't have much contact with Leo, he knew Leo very well. Unless he had seen the real thing, otherwise, his tone couldn't be so sure.

The old man asked anxiously, "Have you seen the third root of Gamore language?"

Leo nodded, and told the old man in detail how he found the survivor from the information, how he found the wasteland in the hunting ground, and what happened in the wasteland.

Except for a few things such as offering sacrifices to the lord of turbidity and lightness, all other things were told to the old man. As for the depth of ten meters underground, the huge sphere that imprisoned the Eye of Reality naturally did not hide it.

"The huge sphere that imprisoned the Eye of Reality?" After listening to Leo's narration, the old man was silent for a while as if remembering something, then pushed the wheelchair to his desk and touched the lever that controlled the bookcase. Then a bookcase quickly sank and moved to his side.

Pointing to a metal box on the top of the bookcase, the old man said, "Open it, and take document No. 707."

Upon hearing this, Vaschi walked over to lift the metal box down, opened it, took out a very old-looking document bag from it, and handed it to the old man.

After the old man took the file bag, he put it on the table impatiently. After opening it, he took out a book that looked like it was made of gold, spread it on the table, opened it, and quickly read it. When I arrived at one of the gold pages engraved with patterns and characters, I read it carefully.

Leo also leaned forward and looked down at the contents of the pages on the table. Before he could read the text, he was attracted by the pattern occupying half of the page.

In that pattern, engraved with the huge eyeball he saw with his spirit vision in the wasteland, and an old man dressed as a wizard manipulated a ball to put the eyeball into it. There were patterns like patterns on the ball and thunder. The three-dimensional radicals that Ou saw were very similar.

On the battlefield where the two are fighting, there are still a large number of strange creatures fighting each other. Among them are the one-eyed monsters and cyclops that have changed from mountain people to the one-eyed giants that they saw that day. It's not much better than those one-eyed monsters, and some of them don't even have a human shape, just a jellyfish floating in the air.

"It records the deeds of Gulie Satsuma, the god-climber among the tower wizards, who led his family army to encircle and annihilate the Church of the Eye of Reality, and sealed the evil god's Eye of Reality with the Forbidden God Ball." The old man handed the book in his hand to Leo said, "For a long time, the deeds of the God-climbers have been just legends, and no one has seen any real evidence related to it, so most people think that the God-climbers do not exist at all. It's just a lie fabricated by the ancient wizards of the tower in order to show their mysterious power."

Leo briefly glanced at the Gamore language under the pattern, and soon knew that the content written on it was a poem, mainly recording the deeds of the god-climbing Gulie.

He didn't read the entire poem carefully. He only put it on the table after knowing the general content, and then asked in puzzlement, "Why? They want to target the god-climbers?"

The old man smiled contemptuously and said: "Because according to the legend, Gulie Satsuma, the god-climber, was the only mortal who killed seven gods and finally transformed into a god. Whether it is the Orthodox Church or the Hidden Church, such a thing will be regarded For the crime of blasphemy, we will naturally try our best to overthrow this legend, so as not to affect the majesty of the gods in front of mortals."

"Now do you think this thing is enough to exchange for the books in your study?" Leo was not too interested in the matter of the God-climber, he was concerned about another matter, so he asked again.

"Enough, of course enough!" Although he has not seen the stone ball with his own eyes, the old man will not think that Leo is lying to himself, after all, such things can be found out with a little research. It's just that after he agreed to Leo's exchange conditions, he smiled bitterly and said, "But you also caused me a lot of trouble."

As the old man said, this stone ball buried deep in the ground is indeed a big trouble.

If he wants to study the Gamore three-dimensional root contained in the stone ball, he must dig it out, and digging out a huge stone ball with a diameter of more than 100 meters will definitely attract the attention of all parties. It is simply impossible to hide.

Others may not know what is hidden in that underground, but the Orthodox Church and the night watchmen must know that it is related to the Eye of Reality, and even a slightly smarter person can guess the legend of the God-climber back then. It is almost delusional to want to enjoy the mystery of it all.

In addition, there is a bigger problem, which is the eye of truth. Because of Leo's concealment, the old man does not know that the main consciousness or soul of the eye of truth has been sacrificed by Leo to another more advanced omega-level creature. Only its flesh is locked in the underground stone ball.

Thinking that the Eye of Truth is still alive, he worried that if his excavation and research inadvertently released the evil god of the Eye of Truth, then the city of Miria, which is closest to there, would likely become the first sacrifice for the birth of the evil god.

However, in order to satisfy his own curiosity and thirst for knowledge, he could not do such a thing as putting millions of people at risk of life and death, so this thing he had dreamed of in the past was now a big trouble in his eyes.

At this moment, the old man seemed to have lost interest in talking, so he ordered Vaschi to prepare a guest room, and then taught Leo how to control the lifting and lowering of the bookcase in the study, and then he controlled the wheelchair and left.

After the old man left, Leo was not polite, and directly followed the catalog on the table, dropped a bookcase related to the dark world, moved it in front of him, picked up a book and read it like this.

Although most of the books stored in the bookcase are written in other languages ​​and have been translated by the old man in ancient French and modern French, there are still a large number of books that have been translated into ancient and modern French. Even the Lang language will distort the content, so there is no translation, only the language in which the book is written and the approximate content are indicated at the end of the page.

Leo wrote down these untranslated books, and according to the content, classified them into important content that needs to be read as soon as possible, and secondary content that can be temporarily shelved.

Because Leo's own purpose was to supplement the database, he did not read the contents of the books in detail, but swallowed them whole, scanning the entire page of each book into the subbrain database, and so on. Call it out and read it slowly when you need it.

Leo's weird reading method of quickly turning pages and scanning eyes naturally attracted Vashki's attention, but she thought that Leo was not reading at all, but wasting books, so she complained to the old man the next day .

After the old man Rembrandt knew about it, he didn't draw conclusions so arbitrarily. On the contrary, he felt that since Leo would present such an important secret in exchange for the opportunity to read this time, he definitely wasn't the kind of person who would be contemptuous of books.

For this reason, he came to the study and directly asked Leo why he did this.

Leo didn't answer directly, but just asked the old man to choose a book at random, and then he read out the complete content of the book, and demonstrated the powerful capabilities of his sub-brain database in front of the old man.

After the old man Rembrandt confirmed that Leo actually wrote down every book he saw through this unbelievably fast reading method, he was immediately shocked.

For this reason, when Leo was about to finish reading all the books in the study, he asked someone to bring a large number of books here from his library in other cities for Leo to read. Look at the limit of Leo's fast reading memory.

During the period of living in the old man's villa, Leo also took the time to make some healing potions for the old man. Perhaps because practice makes perfect, he compressed the time for processing herbs to less than an hour, and controlled fifty sets of refining devices at the same time. , to refine the herbs, and finally use psionic energy to transform the extracted concoctions into real wizard potions one by one.

However, due to the large number of potions processed at the same time, Leo also encountered several production failures, but in general, the number of successful ones still accounted for the vast majority.

In just five days, he made more than two hundred healing potions for the old man, and he himself got fifty-three potions. For this reason, the old man specially customized several potion packs and prescriptions for Leo and himself. Drug test tubes made of special glass.

Being proficient in making a wizard potion is not Leo's biggest gain these days. His biggest achievement is that while making potions, he also trained the talent of psionic control, which raised the level of precise control of psionics to the third level.

When the psionic control talent reaches the third level, when Leo casts psychic spells on animals, he can obtain more information from the animal's spirit, but it will still cause fatal damage to the animal, just because he has not tried It is used on people, so I don't know if it will still disperse people's spirits and turn people into idiots like before.
