The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Perhaps, at that time, everyone in the Hunting Association thought that the shotgun that Leo took out was just a gorgeous and exquisite decoration, but when they encountered their first prey, everyone realized that they had completely missed their eyes.

At that time, they encountered a big-horned deer, and everyone was still gesturing to the servants to take out their shotguns and set up the gun racks, while Leo raised the shotgun in his hand under the eyes of everyone puzzled, Pull the trigger on the elk.

Everyone only heard a bang, and a puff of pungent smoke came out of the shotgun in Leo's hand, and then a bullet shot out from the muzzle and landed on a small tree not far from the big horned deer, and the bullet burst instantly. Not only did it blow up the small tree, but the debris also covered a certain range around it, and the big horned deer within the coverage of the shrapnel was also hit and killed on the spot.

Everyone present was stunned, and their eyes were all focused on the shotgun in Leo's hand. Some people's eyes were transitioning back and forth between the shotgun in Leo's hand and the shotgun that he hadn't mounted yet. Came back from the shock.

For a moment, everyone was inexplicably embarrassed, because they realized that their thoughts just now were like a clown.

It's just that, apart from embarrassment, their attention also fell on the shotgun in Leo's hand. At this moment, they no longer regarded the shotgun as an ornament, but regarded it as a A product of the perfect combination of art and power.

During the subsequent hunting trip, Leo or Leo's shotgun became the center of the whole hunting activity. Anyone who used this shotgun couldn't put it down, and those who hadn't used it also lost their ability to hunt. In their eyes, the precious shotgun, which they cherished so much just now, became extremely ugly in their eyes, so they simply asked the servant to put the shotgun in the holster, out of sight and out of mind.

In the subsequent conversation, everyone learned that this exquisite shotgun was actually made by Leo himself, and they were all amazed.

Although the members of the Hunting Association are all self-proclaimed masters of guns, their knowledge of firearms is far beyond other people, and most of them can even analyze who made a shotgun and what model it is from the rivets on a shotgun. Even so, their knowledge of firearms is limited to playing with them. If they are asked to build a shotgun by themselves, no one in the entire hunting association will be able to do it.

At this time, everyone recalled that Leo was a metallurgist with strong hands-on ability, and the metal that is now alarming the upper echelons of the entire Oeter Federation came from him.

At this moment, these people in the Hunting Association couldn't help but have an idea, that is to ask Leo to help them build a shotgun.

It's just that this idea just stays in everyone's mind, and no one dares to say this, because they are worried that their request will be regarded as an insult to him by Leo.

Although there is no substantive evidence to prove that Sylvia is the real queen, the upper class in Beruk City has already recognized Sylvia's queen status. The background is as low as in the story, but he is the queen's husband at the moment, that is, the prince. No matter how bold the liberals are, they dare not instruct a prince to do something like a craftsman. down the grudge.

However, after all, some people couldn't help but tried to ask, and what made them happy was that Leo was not unhappy, but said that this kind of firearm was very troublesome to make, and it couldn't be made in a short time.

Seeing this situation, the others couldn't help but look forward to it, and asked Leo one after another if they could customize a shotgun for them.

For a while, Leo, who had just joined the Hunting Association, became the association's new darling. Under the subtle influence of Leo through some psychological hints and other methods, he had already become an alternate member of the Hunting Association's management at the end of this hunting activity. , the speed at which his influence expanded was not even much slower than that of his wife Sylvia.

You know, although the Hunting Association is not a big organization among the large and small associations in Beiruk City, and the total number of members is only twenty or thirty, the influence of this association is that all clubs and clubs It is the largest organization among them, because the Hunting Association is a national association, and all cities in the entire Otter Federation have hunting associations, and the people who join the association are big figures who really have real power, status, and wealth in each city.

Someone once joked that all the policies of the Outer Federation are not formulated in Congress, the government, or the courts, but in the gatherings of hunting associations.

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it also tells a certain degree of truth. There is evidence that some policies with far-reaching influence on the Otter Federation were enacted and passed during hunting activities.

Now, Sylvia's performance won a ticket to join the Hunting Association, and Leo's performance allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the Hunting Association in just one day, and also entered the center of the Association .

Although, after the event, those who agreed to let Leo become an alternate member of the management team felt a little puzzled as to why they would let a person who had just joined the association enter the power center of the association so hastily, but they Unable to find any abnormality from themselves, at the same time they thought of the exquisite shotgun in their hands in the future, and the doubts and anxiety in their hearts quickly dissipated.

Perhaps, due to the world environment, Leo is temporarily unable to perform most of the witchcraft, psionic skills, and divine spells he has mastered, but skills such as psychological suggestion and behavior manipulation that do not require any extraordinary power can still be used very well. Used it and it worked very well.

"Have you had any contact with that Bojie Hans?" Sylvia came to the study after returning to the manor from the club, put the things she harvested today on Leo's table, and then asked.

"No." Leo shook his head, and then told Sylvia about the hunting process and the final harvest.

Sylvia was also very surprised when she heard it, but at the same time she took it for granted.

Although from all the rumors she heard, the Hunting Association is not only very difficult to enter, but even if you enter it, it is very difficult to make a difference in it. After all, the people who can join the association are veterans who have been in the world for many years , How could they give a newcomer any chance to climb up.

But this kind of rule only applies to ordinary people. Extraordinary people like Leo are not bound by the rules at all. It is quite normal to be able to enter the core circle on the first day of joining the association.

"What are you going to do next?" Sylvia asked again.

"Give them a little sweetness." Leo responded briefly, and then quickly flipped through the things Sylvia put on the table.

Sylvia didn't make further inquiries, but walked to the desk and picked up the shotgun that Leo had placed on the ground. This shotgun, which was regarded as a treasure by members of the hunting association not long ago, is now casually discarded by Leo's desk, like throwing a walking stick. and so on.

Sylvia played with it for a while, smiled and said, "It's really a weird gun. If Velen's gun master saw it, he might cry."

Leo looked up at the flashy shotgun and said, "This thing may look ugly to you and me, but in the eyes of those who like it, the value of this thing is very amazing. At that time, someone offered a price of four million."

"Such a large amount?" Sylvia couldn't help being surprised by the price, and asked, "Who set the price?"

"Borg Hans," Leo said.

"The Hans family? Can he afford such a large sum of money?" Sylvia frowned, wondering: "According to the information I have collected, the situation of the Hans family has not been good these years. There have been problems with large investments, and some private lands and buildings have even been sold. It can be said that the situation is getting worse. Four million is not a small amount. A local director of the Hans family like Bojie Hans can afford such a sum. A lot of money?"

Leo thought for a while and said, "It should be possible, because when he quoted the price, the others didn't show any abnormalities."

"This is a bit strange." Sylvia questioned: "The entire Hans family has financial problems, but Bojie Hans can buy a shotgun with 4 million, or it means that the family's financial problems are just An illusion, either that Boger Hans has another source of income."

"I'm inclined to the second." Leo gave his opinion, then closed the documents in his hand, and asked, "What kind of organization will the secret treasure mentioned here be?"

"It's a very mysterious organization. I heard that it mainly deals with mysterious treasures." Sylvia knew that Leo would definitely ask this question, so she immediately replied: "However, for the detailed information about this secret treasure club, which clubs I joined It’s hard to get a club and a club. Those people have only heard of the Secret Treasure Club, and they know that only members of the Secret Treasure Club can invite new members. Compared with the clubs and clubs I joined, the hunting association you joined On the contrary, there are more chances to get in touch with secret treasures."

Leo questioned: "Why do you say that? Is it because the people in the Hunting Association are all the top dignitaries?"

"Of course not." Sylvia shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics, only members of the Hunting Association can understand, but I heard that the Hunting Association does not only exist in the Otter Federation, the New World and the Old There are hunting associations in many countries on the mainland, and this association seems to be very old, and it is said that the hunting object of this association was not wild animals when it was first established."

Leo said: "You mean that this association was established to hunt some special existences, just like Velen's orthodox adjudicator?"

"Maybe! You need to investigate this by yourself," Sylvia said with a little dissatisfaction. "Who made me just a woman, and the Hunting Association won't let any woman join."

Leo smiled, then thought for a while, picked up the shotgun, rang the bell on the table, and after a while, the butler opened the door and walked in.

Leo ordered: "Find a better gift box for this shotgun, and send it to the mansion of His Excellency Boger Hans, and say that this is a gift from me for meeting him. I hope we can have closer cooperation in the future."

"Yes, sir." The butler took the shotgun and exited the room.

Sylvia said meaningfully: "Four million is just given as a gift. You are really generous."

Leo smiled and said, "It's not big enough to be the focus, nor is it enough to be a ticket." Then, he suddenly asked, "How is that female police detective doing now? Is there any news about her?"

Sylvia thought for a while, and said, "She seems to have gone to the capital of the Otter Federation, on the day of our banquet."

"It is necessary to go to the capital to investigate. It seems that the water under the disappearance of the Monte family is deep enough." Leo was not surprised by the news.

"You want to intervene in this matter?" Sylvia asked.

Leo shook his head. From the very beginning, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but because this case was connected with this manor, and because it involved the mysterious power of this world, he was interested in this case and wanted to Let's see what that female police detective can find out. If what he finds out is useful to him, he doesn't mind doing something, but like now, there are no clues, and he has no interest in intervening at all, let alone he still has There are other more important things to do.

"I have some ideas about the debugging and improvement of the rune magic circle. It doesn't matter if I don't find anything related to the mysterious power of this world. I believe I will be able to find the right method in a short time." Leo took the rune law from the drawer. He took out the design drawing of the array and put it on the table of the house, then looked at Sylvia, and asked with concern: "How is your situation now? Can you still control it?"

Sylvia showed a relaxed smile and said, "Don't worry about me. Since coming to this world, the agitation caused by the blood of the abyssal dragon has calmed down a lot, and it won't affect me."

Leo didn't think Sylvia was comforting himself, because he could also feel that the world has a strong soothing power for this power from the abyss through the power of the abyss snake in his body, but he himself Being able to perfectly control the power of the abyss serpent, so this feeling is not strong.

Although Sylvia said that she doesn't have to worry about her own situation, she can still control the bloodline power not to be promoted, but Leo can't just think that things can be done slowly. He knows that when Sylvia's life form starts to be promoted , the backlash of the power of the world, what kind of serious consequences will it cause, so he stayed in the manor for a while, and became a half-reclusive weirdo again, concentrating on researching the way to make the rune circle work normally in this world .

This state of engrossed research did not last for too long. An invitation letter pulled Leo back from the research state. He was not annoyed by this, but was very happy with the appearance of this invitation letter.
