The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"No, I've never seen this jigsaw puzzle." Facing the scorching gaze cast on him, Leo remained calm as usual.

"Then how can you match thirty squares so quickly?" the old man asked quickly again.

Leo shrugged, taking it for granted, and said, "Maybe this thing is too simple for me!"

Hearing Leo's answer, the old man didn't know how to ask the question for a while, and the others also felt a little annoyed, because they had tried this puzzle before, but it took months or even years before they were able to put together three puzzles correctly. It was only four yuan, but Leo got thirty yuan right in less than two minutes, and everyone else present had the illusion of being slapped in the face.

In fact, they didn't know that Leo didn't lie. He had never seen this kind of cube puzzle before, but he had seen related records, and this thing was really simple to him. There are numbers, and he only needs to arrange them according to the numbers.

Leo saw the record of this kind of cube platter in a wizard's notebook. This thing is called the Enlightenment Square, and it is composed of 5,000 cubes made of special materials and methods. It is very useful. Simple is to look for people with wizarding talent, and use it to determine whether a wizard apprentice has the qualifications of a wizard.

When the tower wizard finds a person who is suspected to have the talent of a wizard, he will show that person this set of puzzles. People who really have the talent of a wizard but have not received any training as a wizard can see at least fifty pieces of the wizard on the puzzle. Numbers, just arrange the squares according to the numbers shown above to pass.

And a trained wizard apprentice can see more puzzle pieces that display numbers until he can see all the puzzle pieces and put them together in order, then he is considered an official tower wizard.

When Leo was rebuilding the tower, he imitated this method to manufacture a set of wizard level detection devices, but because this enlightenment phalanx had long been lost along with the disappearance of the tower wizard, Leo could only From the content recorded in that notebook, restore its general function.

It is precisely because of the in-depth research on the enlightenment phalanx that Leo recognized at a glance that it was the enlightenment phalanx made by the tower wizard after seeing the members of the True Knowledge Society take out the set of puzzle pieces.

It's just that I don't know whether it's because of the different world environments or the passing of time. The energy emitted by this incomplete enlightenment square is already very thin, and the numbers formed are also very vague. Leo must use the spirit vision to seriously Only by watching can I barely see the above content clearly, and then piece it together in order.

The reason why he only pieced together 30 pieces and didn’t put together any more was because he felt that there was no need to continue to piece together. What’s more important was that the puzzle pieces No. 35 to 67 belonged to the missing part, and that part was missing. The subsequent connections cannot be connected, and even if they are pieced together, there will be no response.

For Leo, even if he didn't join the True Knowledge Society this time, it was a worthwhile trip, because he can already confirm that the tower wizard has not only been to this world, but also done some great things in this world, and left behind Some things were downloaded, but the relevant records were hidden or tampered with for some reason, so that only a few words and phrases were left about the tower wizard, such as the word wizard, which represents a special meaning, or this set of incomplete Enlightenment Square.

At this time, everyone in the True Knowing Society had recovered from their astonishment, and their eyes on Leo became eager. In their opinion, Leo gave himself the nickname "Wizard", and how could he be so relaxed? Putting together a platter of thirty pieces can only explain one problem, that is, the other party must have had a very deep research on the hidden and deleted history and knowledge.

"Now we are discussing the proposal of wizards joining our True Knowledge Society." The old man said first: "I agree with his joining."

"I agree too."

...

As the old man spoke, other people also expressed their agreement one after another. Even the shadow of hostility to Bojie Hans did not object. In the end, Leo passed with a unanimous vote and became a member of the True Knowledge Society.

"Miser, since you know the wizard, you can explain to him about the Society of True Knowledge!" The old man told Bojie Hans, then turned to look at the people around him, and said, "We are now Let's start this party! Whoever comes first."

"I'll come first!" Shadow couldn't wait to stand up and said: "I lack a bone, and I am willing to exchange it with the manuscript of the Book of Arthur that I found a while ago."

As soon as the shadow finished speaking, a tall woman with a golden mask asked, "What kind of bone do you need, or any bone is fine."

"Any god bone is fine." Shadow looked eagerly at the woman with the golden mask, and said, "Treasure hunter, I remember that you explored a god's tomb not long ago, although you failed in the end, you must have found some good things .”

The woman ignored the other party's temptation, and said flatly: "I'll take this order, and the things will be placed in the old place. After you confirm that there is no problem with the things, then hand over the copy to my subordinates."

Seeing that he didn't find out anything, and didn't continue to ask, Ying nodded in agreement with the other party's proposal.

Afterwards, some people came forward one after another to express what they needed and what they were willing to pay, which made Leo feel like a small trade fair, and most of these transactions were held by the woman nicknamed Treasure Hunter. True to her moniker, she seems to have a wealth of resources at hand to meet every need.

After everyone else had already made a deal with this woman, Leo suddenly said, "Can I make a deal too?"

"You are already our partner, of course you can trade." The old man nodded and said.

Leo spoke out his request and said, "I want to find a book related to the true God."

The surroundings immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Leo again. There is no doubt that Leo's request was a bit unexpected.

"Are you planning to commit suicide? You want to touch that thing." Someone couldn't help mocking.

Another person said: "Do you still remember what happened to the last guy who got the book of the true god?"

Someone said coldly: "He died, a terrible death. I was beside him when he died, watching him turn into a monster, and watching him fester and die."

Leo didn't show any reaction to the various words of the people around him, but just looked at the people around him calmly.

At this time, the woman nicknamed Treasure Hunter stood up and said, "I have a book that meets your requirements. If you are not afraid of death, I can trade it to you."

"You're going to take that book..." The old man on the side seemed to know what the book the treasure hunter was talking about, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, that book has been in my hands for a while. Although there is something restricting it, I always feel that it is not safe. It is better to give it to someone else. It was originally planned to make a layout for people. Take it by myself, but now that the wizard takes over, I don't have to ask for trouble." The treasure hunter explained briefly, then looked at Leo, and said, "What are you willing to trade?"

From the conversation, Leo was able to hear that the book that the treasure hunter was going to take out was a very dangerous item, even for a person like a treasure hunter who had all kinds of strange items on his body, it was extremely deadly, but this But it just fits his wish, he just wants to experience the mysterious power of this world for himself.

So Leo took out a rune tablet that he had made with materials from this world these days, stepped forward and handed it to the treasure hunter.

This rune board is the product of his research on how his power and various knowledge are normally used in this world. He found that the stronger and longer the power he used, the greater the chance of disorderly changes. On the contrary, some Subtle, simple, and fast power will not cause backlash. Although the effect will still be weakened, at least it can be fully displayed. This is a good start for him.

The function of this rune board is very simple, that is to clean the dust on the body, it only takes a moment to cast it, and it takes a certain period of time to recover after casting it before casting it again, so as to avoid the chaotic effect caused by continuous casting.

After the treasure hunter found the rune board, Leo explained the function and usage of this thing, and other people gathered around.

Although the function of this thing makes them feel a little disappointed, they are also very novel about it, because they have seen a lot of mysterious items that can make people die and make people crazy, but there are no side effects like this, and they are extremely powerful. This is the first time I have seen a mysterious item with practical functions.

The treasure hunter looked at the rune board in her hand, and found that it was the first time she had seen the runes and patterns engraved on the rune board. Although from her experience, the rune board did not look ancient, but she also I don't think this thing is newly made, because she has seen some mysterious items stored in special places before. Even after tens of millions of years, they are still the same as new ones, so she guesses that Leo may have found them. A vault containing a large number of mysterious items.

In order to test whether this thing is really working as Leo said, the treasure hunter squatted down, grabbed some dust from the ground and sprinkled it on himself, and then according to the method Leo said, activated the rune board. hidden strength.

Everyone saw only a faint ray of light gushing out from the rune board and covering the treasure hunter's body. The dust that had fallen on the treasure hunter's clothes before immediately flew up and scattered around, and some fine dust also Being swept around together, the treasure hunter's body immediately became extremely clean, as if it had been washed.

Seeing this scene, many people exclaimed in envy, while the few people who possessed mysterious powers showed a lot of calmness. Obviously, they had a certain understanding of this miraculous phenomenon after being well-informed. immunity.

As a treasure hunter who is an experiencer, she feels it more clearly than others, and also knows that this thing cleans not only the dust on the clothes, but also the things inside the clothes, at least she feels like she has taken a bath Yes, this is a very good mystery item for a person like her who is often active in the wild.

So, she nodded very satisfied, and said: "I am very satisfied with the things. I will give the storage location of the book to the miser, and then the miser will give it to you. If we trade more times, you'd better buy it yourself." Find a secret delivery location, so you don't have to find a temporary location every time."

"Yes." Leo agreed to the other party's proposal, then turned to look at Bojie Hans, and said, "This matter will trouble you."

"It's okay." Bojie Hans, who was the recommender, was also happy to see that Leo integrated into the True Knowledge Society more easily than expected.

The treasure hunter put the rune tablet in his waist pouch, and then said very cautiously: "I want to remind you, that book is very dangerous, unless you are in an absolutely safe place, don't open it and store it box."

The reason why she kindly reminded him was not because she was kind-hearted or had a good impression of Leo, but because she guessed that Leo must have a lot of good things on hand. If Leo died because of that book, those good things But there is no part for her.

For the treasure hunter's reminder, Leo didn't say anything, but retreated to Bojie Hans' side.

Seeing that everyone had finished the transaction, the old man stood up again and said, "Next, I will talk about two things. Those who are interested can find someone to cooperate with them. One thing is that the holy scrolls brought by the early missionaries of the Samaritan religion have been It was discovered, and now it is going to be secretly sent to the Old Continent. It is not clear where it is now, but it is estimated that it should take the General Bonnet battleship a month later and return to the Old Continent. Those who are interested can try it Is there any chance to intercept it?"

"Is it the real holy text scroll? You must know that there are more than 50 kinds of holy text scrolls circulated outside, and they are all found to be fakes." A member wearing a multi-pointed star mask asked hurriedly.

"I'm 100% sure it's true, but it's not complete, only five pages." The old man replied.

Hearing the old man's affirmative answer, many people around were a little moved.

Afterwards, the old man said: "The second thing is that the sacrifice of Bonatades appeared again, and someone offered a reward, 1,000 gilt gold coins for a living member, and 500 for the dead, no limit quantity."

Compared with the previous sacred scroll, it is obvious that the sacrifice of Bonatades made the people present feel more fearful. Although Leo didn't know what it was, it was not difficult to see that this Bonata was seen from the silent people around him. Des has a very strong deterrent.

Everyone's reaction seemed to be within the old man's expectations. He didn't wait too long, and said, "If there is nothing else, this meeting is over. I will inform you of the next meeting place," he said. He took out a square box and handed it to Leo: "Hold it, if I contact you, the text will be displayed on it."

Leo took the box and looked at it, and put it in his pocket, but his plain attitude surprised everyone around, because most of them would show various surprises and surprises after getting the box, So they couldn't help but think Leo was a bit higher.
