The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"May I ask you what's the matter?" Leo asked casually after looking at the people in front of him.

When Solander was about to say something, a person from the Women's Education Department standing next to him stopped her, stepped forward to replace Solander, and said, "Your Excellency, it's also for Todd's legacy, right? "

When he uttered this question again, those members of the Department of Education and Culture all stared at Leo. Among them, the abnormal energy fluctuations on the middle-aged man who seemed to be very old suddenly magnified dozens of times, which was far beyond that of ordinary extraordinary people. In the category of psychics, it is almost equivalent to a second-level psyker.

This made Leo very surprised. Although he can also use some special skills to improve his psionic power, divine power, witchcraft and other powers in a short period of time, but it is only a little improvement. If you want to be like that It is absolutely impossible for a middle-aged man from the Ministry of Education to suddenly increase his strength by dozens of times. This will only make him completely lose control of his power and eventually be backlashed by his power. The middle-aged man from the Ministry of Education obviously did not appear The situation of power backlash, but he seems to be struggling to maintain control of the explosive power, and sweat is seeping from his forehead.

Although Leo was very surprised by the way the middle-aged man from the Ministry of Education used his power, he didn't get distracted by it. I know that Todd is the smiling Todd. But I found out after Detective Solander came to investigate the case. I didn’t know what relationship this manor had with the smiling Todd beforehand. As for Todd's legacy, also heard for the first time, from your questioning."

After listening to Leo's words, the woman from the Ministry of Education turned her head and looked at the middle-aged colleague, and the middle-aged colleague seemed to be able to use some kind of power that could distinguish the truth from what people said, when he was with her When the female colleague looked at each other, she nodded slightly.

"Where is your wife?" the woman asked again.

Leo replied, "She's sick, and very sick."

The woman said again, "Can I go and see her?"

"Are you a doctor?" Leo asked.

"No." The woman replied.

Leo smiled and said nothing more.

Another young man stood up and said, "I'm a doctor and I used to work at Bates State General Hospital."

Leo looked at him, smiled and said, "Do you often feel pain in your waist, and the pain will spread to your thighs and back respectively, and sometimes the pain is so painful that you can only curl up your body."

"How do you know?" The young man asked with a shocked face.

"You're sick," Leo said.

The young man frowned and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Leo glanced at the other party, and said flatly: "If you are an experienced and qualified doctor, you will know what disease I am talking about. Now it seems that you are not." He stood up from the chair and looked I glanced at the few people in front of me, and said, "I don't have that much time to play with you, why don't you just tell me what you want to do? Or please leave by yourself and don't bother me."

Hearing Leo's words, several people looked at each other, as if they were exchanging views.

The middle-aged man also put away his strength at this moment, and wiped his forehead, showing a little fatigue, then stood up and said to Leo: "I believe you have already conducted some investigations on this manor. What is going on with this manor? There are some powers that ordinary people cannot understand, but we believe that you should have been in touch with this, Mr. Leo, and we should also know that the mysterious power that caused the disappearance of the Monte family has not disappeared from this manor. On the contrary, it became more intense because someone moved in, and even Ms. Sylvia's illness may be related to this, so we think that you, Mr. Leo, should move out of here temporarily and leave the matter here to us professionals. Think about moving back."

"Are you crazy? You made such an absurd request?" Leo couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you know how much it cost me to buy this manor and rebuild it? You actually asked us to move out and hand over the manor Handle it for you?"

The middle-aged man explained: "This is for the sake of Your Excellency and his wife. There is an evil force here..."

"If I remember correctly, this manor has been abandoned for more than ten years, and it has always been managed by the Beiruk City Government. If there is an evil force here as you said, why has it been abandoned in the past ten years? None of you came to deal with him. Now that I bought the place with money and repaired it so that it can be lived in, you people from the federal government came to tell me that there are evil forces here, let me move out and hand over the place to you. Let me deal with it for you, don’t you think you’re ridiculous?” Leo taunted, then turned to Solander, and said, “Ms. Detective, when I talked to you before, I thought you were a smart person. , I didn’t expect to see you again, and it turned out to be with a group of fools and lunatics, I advise you to be careful, fools and lunatics are contagious.”

"I'm not with them, I'm just receiving them for the city government." Solander doesn't seem to like the people in the Ministry of Education very much, and maybe he's been a little angry these days. Hearing Leo say this, he quickly put aside the relationship .

Those members of the Ministry of Education and Culture looked at Solander with displeasure, but they seemed to have some concerns about Solander and dared not say anything.

When the middle-aged man wanted to say something at this time, he was interrupted by Leo, who sat back on the chair again, and said with a tired look: "If there is nothing else, everyone Just leave! I want to rest."

"Rest?" Everyone looked at the big sun outside the window, and knew that this was just a structure that could not withstand scrutiny. Although they were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything. They glanced at each other and walked out of the study. Under the leadership, he left the manor.

Before they left the manor, the manor was slightly shaken by the eruption of a powerful force. The people in the manor had long been used to this kind of thing, and they didn't show any panic. They just straightened the fallen furniture. Broken utensils are replaced.

It was the first time for those people outside the manor to feel this force. They all had a sense of suffocation at that time, as if some extremely terrifying existence was staring at them, their bodies were tense, and they couldn't even breathe. They stopped. Fortunately, this force appeared and disappeared quickly, so it didn't cause any more adverse effects on them.

"Damn it, he must have a ghost! We should..." The young man took a deep breath, trying to calm down his flustered emotions, and stared at the manor with great annoyance.

"What should we do? Break in and do something forcibly?" The middle-aged man seemed to be the leader of the team. He interrupted the young man with a displeased face and said, "Don't forget his current identity. As long as we do something out of line , Let alone whether we can get out of Beiruk City, even if we return to the headquarters, those big shots in the capital will give him us as a gift in order to curry favor with him."

"What do we do now?" the woman asked.

"Report this matter directly to the higher-ups, and deal with it as the higher-ups do." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Don't forget that we are not here for this matter, but for the baptism church. It's just a matter of incident, don't put priority on the matter." As he spoke, he turned to look at Solander who was silent at the side, and said, "Miss Solander, the owner of this manor doesn't have much opinion on you. You can pay more attention here in the future.”

"I still have to investigate the case, I don't have that much time..." Solander said dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man asked seriously: "You should have read the relevant files, do you think you can still find out anything? And do you think what you really found out is really good for you? Although your family has some power, but in this matter..."

The middle-aged man didn't complete his words, but the meaning has already been revealed. Although Solander is still very unwilling, the gains she has gained from returning to the capital this time also show that she is now unable to intervene in such matters, and even her family cannot provide her with any protection.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very optimistic about Solander, and said: "You have good abilities, and you are very suitable to become an investigator of the Ministry of Education. If you are still interested in this matter after two years, you can apply to the Ministry of Education. As long as you pass the assessment, you can join us."

Solander was noncommittal about this, but from her expression, it could be seen that she should have been thinking about it.

Afterwards, the group did not stop outside the manor. After boarding the carriage waiting outside, they rushed back to the city.

At this time, Leo also took back the released spirit net.

Along with his continuous in-depth research on the mysterious power of this world and the methods of inducing mysterious power, he has created some suitable methods to use the various powers contained in his body, and can guarantee that the effect will not appear after casting deviation.

The only flaw is that all spiritual skills and witchcraft will be suppressed to varying degrees after being cast, otherwise the power will go back to the old state after the power exceeds the limit of control.

However, the strange thing is that the psychic ability Spirit Net doesn't seem to be subject to this restriction, and the Spirit Net casted by the improved method can still maintain the effect of using Spirit Net directly through psionic energy, but it consumes more power.

Because of the eruption of power just now, Leo went back to the basement to check Sylvia's condition, only to find that Sylvia's body had shrunk a lot and had returned to a human form, but the surface of her body was still covered with Without the scales, the pupils are still the eyes of the abyss dragon, and the dragon horn on the forehead is still there.

However, even so, Leo could see that Sylvia's situation was changing for the better, and he believed that she would be able to fully control her promoted power in a short time.

"Finally I have transformed my body back." Sylvia looked at Leo, who was still much shorter than her, and smelled around her body, frowned, and said, "The smell on my body is really bad. Get me some water to wash off."

"No need to wash." Leo walked to Sylvia's side, reached out and touched Sylvia's thigh, a wave of spiritual power instantly spread around her body, peeling off all the dirt on the surface of her body , gathered into a mass of dirt and fell to the ground.

However, even after doing so, the smell around Sylvia's body didn't change much, it was still a sulfur smell like rotten eggs.

Leo sniffed the smell, without showing any abnormal expression, and explained flatly: "This smell comes from the power of your blood, and it is impossible to eliminate this smell until you fully control your power .”

"Do I want to continue to stay here for half a month with this smell?" Sylvia said displeased.

Leo was puzzled: "You didn't have the same smell before, and it was even stronger. Why..."

Sylvia interrupted: "I didn't smell it at that time, but now I smell it." She shook her head again, unwilling to continue this topic about her own body odor, and changed the subject and said: "By the way , When my body transformed just now, I sensed something."

"What?" Leo asked.

"There's something in Lake Beruk." Sylvia explained, "There's a very powerful life hidden inside," she paused, and then said, "That thing makes me very hungry, I have a very strong urge to eat it."

"Eat it?" Leo was stunned for a moment, obviously this kind of targeted hunger did not originate from Sylvia, but from Sylvia's blood, that is to say, the blood of the abyss dragon .

However, the memory Leo obtained from the abyssal serpent showed that the abyssal dragon was extremely picky about food, and ordinary abyssal species would not join its diet, and it would only eat those intelligent races with the blood of the upper abyss.

"Is it from the abyss?" Reminiscent of the habits of the abyss dragon, Leo quickly made a guess.

But Sylvia shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be from the abyss. If you have time, go and have a look."

"I see." Leo thought of some information he had heard from the investigators of the Ministry of Education, and said, "Is the Baptist Church related to this?"

"Why do you think so?" Sylvia asked.

So, Leo told Sylvia what happened just now, and mentioned that every baptism ceremony of the Baptist Church is in Lake Beluk, and the location is different, it doesn't feel like doing some Formal religious ceremonies seem to be looking for something in Lake Beruk through religious ceremonies.

Hearing what Leo said, Sylvia also nodded, agreeing with his guess, and said: "Whether they came here for the things in the lake or not, they must be very familiar with Lake Beruk, and they have There must be some intelligence information, you can go there sometime and see if you can investigate anything."

"I know how to do it." Leo nodded, and soon had a plan in his mind.
