The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo doesn't know how to use this red soul crystal for the time being, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, this red soul crystal is very unstable, just like the non-coordinated hedging particles that are often used to create over-limit attack weapons in the universe Same.

After putting away the red soul crystal stone, Leo used the psychic traction rope to hang himself on the top of the tree. With the traction of the psychic rope, he moved quickly and flexibly between the dense tree crowns, and soon caught up with him. The group of armed men hung silently among the branches and leaves of the trees above their heads, following them and moving forward slowly.

Perhaps it was because what happened just now had shocked them and made them feel extremely uneasy. They just wanted to get back to a safe place quickly, so they walked silently along the way without saying anything.

Leo carefully scanned the situation of these people through the spirit net in the air. Although these people wore strange objects similar to inductive spirit scans, it was obvious that Leo's spirit net was beyond the sensing range of this strange thing. produce any reaction.

However, after scanning these people, the doubts in Leo's heart not only did not weaken, but increased a lot, because he found a lot of things in these people that should not appear in these people.

For example, the small steam engines and matching steam guns that these people carry on their backs. The internal core components of this set of weapons are related to some things Leo researched when he was in Castle Black, and some of them are even one of the props he researched.

The small steam engine was a simple small steam engine that Sylvia asked him to design when he was experimenting with how many times the kinetic energy of mechanical devices in other worlds could be increased in the Vinylon world. Because the small steam engine used by the steam engine crossbow at that time was too bulky, although it could still move on the back, it moved very slowly, which was not conducive to battlefield response.

At that time, Leo designed four types of small steam engines for Sylvia, and most of the mechanical technologies and principles of the four types of small steam engines were based on the mechanical knowledge of Hushang Town, even the forging technology of the parts. They also used some smelting techniques developed by himself.

The core steam power part of the small steam engine on these people is the four small steam engines designed by Leo, the steam has the smallest kinetic energy, but it is the lightest model.

Although the kinetic energy generated by this model is the smallest, it is several times stronger than that produced by the smallest steam engine in the Vinylon world at that time, and now the small steam engines on these people have been further improved by others, and this improvement also makes The energy output of the steam engine has increased several times, and at the same time, it has some other magical effects after being equipped with matching firearms.

For example, when those people stopped the transparent monster before, the bullets fired from the steam gun had a freezing effect, freezing the monster.

However, what makes Leo interesting is that this improvement is also related to him, because this improvement uses part of his rune magic research.

From the small pot that provides the catalytic effect for the small steam engine to the internal structure of the steam gun itself, it is full of Leo's research on rune magic, some of which are ideas he made when he was bored in Castle Black. Now these assumptions have been made and applied to actual combat.

Seeing the main equipment on these people under the tree, Leo had no doubt that these equipment came from the research notes he left in Castle Black's laboratory, and there was only one person who could have these notes, and that was Sylvie. ya.

With a hint of suspicion, Leo scanned the equipment on the team again, and soon saw a badge-like trademark on the small steam engine and other equipment. This trademark looked very similar to the Montreal family's badge, but compared to his From the badge of the Montreal family in memory, there is an additional Turing root in Gamore language that represents infinite possibilities.

The group of people under the tree seemed to often move in the forest. They could easily find a suitable path for walking, and skillfully used the tools in their hands to remove the vines and shrubs that blocked the way.

They also encountered some attacks on the road, but these attacks were ordinary wild beasts, and they were easy to deal with, but the strange thing was that although they killed those wild beasts, they never took the corpses of the wild beasts. As if worried about something, he quickly walked away from the prey, and sprinkled some powder on his body before walking, which seemed to prevent some of his breath from attracting real predators in the forest.

Under such circumstances, while following the team and continuing to move forward, Leo still curiously left the mental net around a large prey, wanting to see the forest predator that terrified these people What is it like.

Leo didn't wait too long. Not long after the team left, he sensed a black shadow suddenly appearing next to the corpse of the beast. He picked up the corpse of the beast instantly, and then jumped forward. Disappeared in the air like this.

Although the movement of this black shadow was so fast that the naked eye could barely see it clearly, it was still easily captured by Leo's mental net in its full form.

"Poncado! It turned out to be Pengcado!" After recognizing the mysterious beast that was feared by the team, Leo showed a slightly surprised look on his face, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face .

Pencador is a supernatural creature of the Black Forest. This kind of creature can move in a short-distance space shuttle, which can help them suddenly appear beside their prey, and then attack unsuspecting prey.

The habitat of this extraordinary creature is located on the edge of the Black Forest, so they often run out of the Black Forest and attack people near the Black Forest. This also adds a mysterious predator legend to the various dangerous legends of the Black Forest. .

However, Pencador is a creature of the Black Forest after all, and its existence is attached to the Black Forest, so it cannot stay away from the Black Forest, and can only move around the edge of the Black Forest. Normally, it is even less likely to appear so far from Randall Port The place.

But the fact now is that this Pencador has indeed appeared in this forest far away from the Black Forest, and its activities are still very frequent. People who come here frequently have already known about it. Except that Pencador has mutated and no longer needs to be attached to the Black Forest, only the Black Forest no longer has to abide by some rules, such as the Black Forest creatures cannot leave the Black Forest and so on.

All kinds of discoveries made Leo feel more and more curious about what happened here during his time in Sea God's World, and he couldn't wait to see Sylvia in his heart.

The port of Randall is one of the most important port cities in the south of the United Kingdom. Not only a large number of fish catches are transported to inland cities by rail from here, but most of the large quantities of seaborne goods from the Kingdom of England and the mainland of Mozambique will be in The goods are unloaded here and then transferred to other places.

Therefore, in order to better serve the entry and exit of goods in Randall Port, the United Kingdom not only built three small towns specializing in freight on the railway line outside Randall Port, but also built three convenient roads for this purpose.

Right now, the team is heading towards the largest town, Randall, which means the second town of Randall.

Randall is mainly responsible for the transportation of large-scale cargo. Originally, there was a very spacious road leading directly from Randall Port to this town, and there was no need to detour from the station town on the outskirts of Randall.

However, because no one walks all year round and due to time, this road has been completely covered by new trees and shrubs, and it can only be discerned from the exposed bricks and stones under a thick layer of rotting branches and leaves. location of the road.

After the team found this road, they moved at a much happier speed. After walking through the forest for about two hours, they finally got out of the forest and came to a plain covered with waist-high grass. Go, you can see a town surrounded by a wall more than 20 meters high in the distance of the plain.

Although the situation inside the high wall could not be seen, puffs of black smoke came out of the high wall, indicating that there were human activities in the high wall.

However, after seeing the black smoke coming out of the high wall, the team members showed distressed expressions on their faces. Among them, the team leader turned his head and asked the people next to him in confirmation, "Is today the furnace opening day?"

The people next to him seemed uncertain, and lowered their heads to count the days, but another female team member gave a positive answer, saying: "Yes, today is the furnace opening day, unless there is a special permit issued by the kingdom, Otherwise, we can only read it under the high wall these days."

"It's really bad luck!" The team leader cursed, and turned to look at his exhausted teammates. He knew that it was unrealistic to continue to the next settlement in the current state, but if he spent the night under the high wall, , is too dangerous.

"We may be able to go in," at this time, a teammate reminded the small steam engine behind his back and said, "Don't forget that these guys on us are the goods ordered by the Earl. Those big men in the city may not be able to afford it either."

"Yes! This is a way." Hearing the reminder from his teammates, the team leader immediately came to his senses, the sadness on his face dissipated, and he continued to rush towards the high-walled castle.

Although he had already seen a human settlement, Leo did not abandon the team, and still followed behind the team, and even used a psionic skill that affects perception to make these people ignore him. The outsiders of the team completely regarded him as one of their own.

Because there were no dense bushes and trees blocking the way, the group of people moved a lot faster, and it didn't take long before they arrived outside the high-walled town.

From a distance, this town does not seem to be very big, but when you get close, you can analyze the length of the city wall to see that the area of ​​the town is at least three times larger than that of Landaus before, and the prosperity of the town does not need to be determined by spirit. Net scanning, the noise passing through the city walls alone is enough to judge the prosperity of this town.

Right now, the high wall used to protect Landosdo is not an ordinary high stone wall. The large number of holy patterns of the Lady of the Lake engraved on the surface of those stones can be judged that this is a wall containing some gods. The high walls with special powers such as divine power also represent the city protected by the Lady of the Lake.

Leo remembered that the vast majority of residents in the town of Randall came from Randall, so even though they worked on land and lived on land, these people were still devout believers of the sea god. Under the subtle influence of these people, those foreign settlers gradually became followers of the Sea God.

But at this moment, this city of Poseidon believers has become the city of the Lady of the Lake. In addition to the charm of the Lady of the Lake, it is more likely that the believers here began to doubt the Sea God because of the destruction of the Sea God Church in Port Randall. Whether it is really possible to shelter them, in the end this kind of doubt also gave the lady in the lake the opportunity to enter this town and change the belief of this town.

When I came to the main gate of this town, I could see two fully armed statues of the Lady of the Lake standing on both sides of the gate, looking majestically at all the visitors. The Lady of the Lake believers in the procession Then go out, pray devoutly in front of the statue of the lady in the lake, and complete some simple religious etiquette.

Not far from the main entrance road, you can see the mainland railway clinging to the city wall, going around the town, passing through the small station outside the town, and disappearing into the dense grass in the distance.

When everyone stopped, the team leader signaled everyone to stay in place and be vigilant, and he walked towards the city gate with a companion who knew some noble etiquette and had some noble blood on his body.

When the two arrived at the city gate, they knocked vigorously on the bronze bell placed next to a one-person-high small gate in the lower right corner of the city gate.

Perhaps because of the high wall, this city gate was built very large, and it was made of wood as hard as steel. Based on the size and thickness of this gate, it may not be ordinary people who want to open this gate. It can be done, the opening and closing of this city gate should use some kind of machine.

Not long after the bell rang, the window of the small door was opened from the inside, and a soldier wearing human armor looked out and said, "It is not allowed to open the city gate on the furnace opening day, don't you think about this matter?" Do you know? You can only be outside..."

The team leader didn't wait for the other party to finish, and said bluntly: "The goods we carry are very important. They are the goods ordered by Earl Baggins. I don't think your mayor is willing to see the goods of Earl Baggins because we can't enter the city. Is something wrong?"

Hearing the team leader's words, the gatekeeper's face changed, and then he motioned for the team leader to reveal the small steam engine behind his back and the transportation agreement on the team leader, and motioned them to wait, then closed the window, and left quickly.

Afterwards, several people who looked like officials appeared and confirmed the goods and agreements respectively, and agreed that this group of people entered the town through the small gate next to it, and did not allow them to stay outside the town.
