The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You want the entire underground world of Mosang Continent?" In the laboratory, Sylvia looked at Leo as if she were a stranger, with a look of surprise on her face.

It's no wonder that Sylvia has such an expression, because Leo's decision and behavior are completely contrary to Leo's character before, as if he had changed.

In the past, Leo felt to her like an audience who was always standing outside the world. Apart from being interested in things related to extraordinary power, he was not interested in power struggles in the world at all. He was like an absolutely calm Observe the changes in the world like a bystander.

However, now Leo intends to recover and unify the black market in Mozambique, the wizard's assembly house, and various small hunter forces that mainly hunt monsters. If he is really allowed to complete this plan, then it can be said that he will be The king of the underground world of the entire Mosang Continent, the power he controls can even rival the power of the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

This kind of behavior is so different from Leo's past behavior and thinking that Sylvia didn't get used to it for a while.

Facing Sylvia's question, Leo shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's the Dodd Group."

Sylvia frowned slightly, not quite understanding the difference, and Leo didn't seem to intend to explain.

"Is there anything I can help?" Sylvia didn't say much on the issue of belonging. She believed that Leo's decision must have his deep meaning, and she just needed to provide some help from the side.

Leo thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No need for the time being, this matter will definitely cause a backlash from the Orthodox Church and the Church of the True God, and it is impossible for the Shamanism to see such a huge force reappear in the Mosang Continent, so it is possible There will be some targeted actions. As long as you and the Dodd Group do not admit this, these actions will not be blatantly on you, but will only be directed at me..."

Sylvia frowned and said, "It will be dangerous for you to do this!"

"I just want this kind of danger." Leo explained: "The knowledge I have learned and the power I have mastered are too complicated. Although I tried to build a system of my own in the past, the result was not particularly successful. Knowledge may be gradually mastered and summarized through closed-door research, but strength cannot be improved. Strength needs to be improved through continuous fighting, and knowledge also needs to be tempered in battle to extract the essence, so I need to fight and need a strong enough enemy. "

Sylvia was silent for a moment after hearing this, and did not persuade Leo. She knew very well that Leo was the same type of person as herself. Since some things have been decided and there is a complete plan, they will not change due to outside persuasion , so she just looked at the remaining unconscious people in the laboratory, and then at Kevins who was guarding outside the laboratory, and asked with concern: "What step have you reached now?"

Leo said calmly: "Basically there is no big problem with the black market. The black market itself is loose enough. As long as you give that guy enough benefits and strength, that guy's ambition will drive him to unify the black market. At that time, I just need to If you master that guy, you can control the entire black market."

"What if he is unwilling to be controlled?" Sylvia asked.

"If he doesn't think he is being controlled, he won't have the idea of ​​being unwilling." Leo signaled Sylvia not to worry. Leo has much more experience than Sylvia on how to control a person. In the Earth Federation, there are so many ways to reshape personality and clean memory, and there are many related psionic skills, coupled with the assistance of potions, he believes that the black market director will meet with him three times at most, and he will Become his loyal disciple through and through.

Sylvia must know some methods to control others if she can become the head of secret agents in the United Kingdom of France, but she doesn't think her methods can deal with a black market leader, because most people who have the ability to become a black market leader are They are strong-willed people, easy to kill but hard to control.

However, the self-confidence shown by Leo made her feel that the issue of controlling the black market director should not be a problem, so she pointed to Kevins at the entrance and said, "Where is the wizard's assembly hall?"

Leo smiled and said, "You know, I'm a tower wizard. For those so-called wizards, is there anything more important than getting the advice of a tower wizard and becoming a member of the new tower?"

"You want to rebuild the tower?" Sylvia said excitedly, her eyes brightened.

"Since I bear the name of the last tower wizard, I will naturally do what a tower wizard should do." Leo nodded and said with a smile: "You have the first witch group, and I have mastered the new tower wizard." , coupled with the Dodd Group, this structure can be said to be very complete."

Sylvia naturally didn't have any opinion on this. In fact, she mentioned to Leo about rebuilding the tower at Castle Black more than 20 years ago, but Leo had no interest in these things at that time. She had other things to deal with at the time, so this matter was left alone. Now that Leo is back, she has also re-thought the matter of rebuilding the tower these days, and is planning to find some time to talk to Leo. Let me tell you, I didn't expect Leo to think of going with him, and even brought it up first, so she naturally raised her hands in agreement.

"Where are you going to build the tower?" Sylvia suggested: "The Bran Forest in the New Bodo area is good. It goes directly into the mountains. It is the most primitive and dense forest on the northern coastline. There are many secrets in our group. Departments are housed there…”

Leo shook his head and said, "I'm not going to build the tower in the depths of uninhabited primeval forests and mountains. Don't we have a suitable place to build the tower at hand?"

Sylvia was stunned, aware of what Leo was talking about, but still asked in a confirming manner: "You mean the furnace in the factory area?"

Leo nodded and said: "That furnace can just provide endless energy to the tower, and with it as the cornerstone, the tower built is not just a wizard tower, it can also be used to help us control the entire Audorin and Around Adoline."

Hearing what Leo said, Sylvia looked at Leo in surprise and said, "Are you going to make it public?"

Leo said with a smile: "Why hide it? The times are different, and what happened in the past doesn't apply now, does it?"

Sylvia was no longer as excited as before, but rather hesitated, because Leo's approach was almost completely subverting the tradition.

Although monsters are rampant in this world now, and people with various supernatural powers appear from time to time on the battlefield against monsters, there are also many such people who appear in front of ordinary people as mercenaries, detectives, and hunters among the people. As far as people are concerned, it has long been known that there is a world hidden behind this world that only those who understand extraordinary power can know.

But even so, the underground world of Velen World still maintains a semi-hidden state. Even the churches that have the most contact with ordinary people, the churches they build in public are only arranged for some ordinary clergy to contact believers. And even if the core strength of the church that has mastered extraordinary powers builds an office like an office, that office will use other names to cover up its true background, and it will not be so directly displayed in people's vision.

However, what Leo intends to do now is to blatantly build a high tower in the middle of the city, completely displaying it in front of the eyes of ordinary people. This kind of deviant behavior is a bit unacceptable even in Sylvia's eyes.

"Do you still remember what I told you about the lady in the lake?" When Sylvia showed hesitation, Leo said again.

Sylvia pondered for a while, and although the hesitant look on her brows hadn't completely dissipated, it had already diminished a lot.

As Leo reminded, the lady in the lake mentioned that with the return of the gods, the world will inevitably begin to readjust its orbit under the influence of the power of the gods, and it is not hard to hear from the words of the lady in the lake. When the limit is reached, with the addition of the power of the gods, the industrial mechanical civilization will either stagnate or retreat and decline. At that time, extraordinary power will inevitably become the dominant force in the world, so what Leo is doing now is nothing more than a pioneer That's it, in the future, like him, organizations involving extraordinary power will inevitably come to the fore, and he is just one step ahead.

It's just that Sylvia can predict the benefits that can be obtained by taking the first step without thinking too much. Of course, the premise of all this is that after taking this step, she can stand stably until the next change in the world occurs.

"If this is the case, some reconstruction projects we originally planned may need to be revised..." Sylvia said after hearing the words, after thinking for a while.

Leo shook his head and said: "There is no need to modify it, and it will still be built according to the original plan, but the energy core plant where the furnace is located has become a tower, and the actual function will not change, and it will even be enhanced."

Perhaps because he was worried that Sylvia would not understand his vision, he picked up a pen and quickly drew a simple and clear bird's-eye view of the factory area on paper, and also simply outlined the shape of the wizard tower he was involved in. Come out and let Sylvia get a general idea of ​​the height and area of ​​the Wizard Tower.

In fact, a long time ago, Leo had already begun to consider building a wizard tower of his own, and with the accumulation of various knowledge, the scale and shape of the wizard tower in his mind were constantly changing. The root and rune magic array have been replaced more than ten times.

Even if there was no such thing as the Lady in the Lake, and he hadn't thought about rebuilding the tower, Leo planned to build his own wizard tower after Audoryn's incident was over and he returned to the New Porto area, and the site selection was also the same as Hill's. Via's original plan was to choose Bran Forest.

However, now that there is a new plan, the previous expectations have also been revised. As for the plan to rebuild the tower in Audorin, on the one hand, it is because of the flesh and blood giant under the city, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of Audorin. the city itself.

Because during this period of time, he researched the superhuman powers such as the massive Turing radicals and mysterious symbols in the city of Aodorine, who were integrated into the flesh and blood giants, and found that the person who originally designed the city of Aodorine seemed to be here. There is a big secret hidden in this city, and at first Leo thought it was the flesh giant, but now he finds out from some clues that the flesh giant seems to be just a disguise, the real big secret is hidden under the flesh giant, Only by erasing the flesh giant, or completely controlling the flesh giant, can it be possible to dig out this big secret.

It was also for this reason that Leo became curious about Adoline, so he planned to control Adoline in his own hands and study it slowly.

On the other hand, after listening to Leo's factory area reconstruction plan, Sylvia felt that it was perfect and there was no need to modify it. Even a part of the factory area restoration project that has been completed now does not need to be demolished and rebuilt. It only needs to be slightly changed and rebuilt. The program will do.

After discussing the factory reconstruction project with Leo, Sylvia talked about what happened in the city recently. The two most important things are the monster attacking the city during this long night It has increased a lot, and there is at least one monster siege attack almost every day, which makes the defense of the entire city of Aodorine extremely tight. Now not only the city defense troops have all stationed on the city wall, but even the gendarmerie and police station All the people except for the maintenance of law and order in the city have been sent to the city wall, and not long ago, all the people in the city who have combat experience have been asked to report to the city government.

Sylvia had been to the city wall once before, and personally participated in an offensive and defensive battle. She could also clearly feel that there was something abnormal about the monster attacking the city this time, mainly because among the monster group, there were many controlled and affected beasts , and among these beasts, many weak beasts that have never appeared in this kind of siege battle before also joined in, such as the hoe mouse who likes to dig holes.

Although the defenses on the city wall can still withstand the attacks of monsters, casualties have begun to appear recently and have gradually increased. It seems that the situation is not very good. Mandatory recruitment of spirits, even the churches of the true gods have sent a bunch of temple guard teams to guard the city walls for a long time under the action of this call-up order.

In addition to the monster siege, another thing is a good thing for Doodorine City. This thing is that with the long night period, the number of monsters hidden in the dark seems to be reduced, and the long night period monsters that can be confirmed every day There were fewer than ten incidents of assaults on pedestrians.

Although this incident is a bit weird, it is a good thing for Aodorine City. At least there is no need to worry about the situation where the long-night monsters and monster groups outside the city cooperate with each other to attack the city.
