The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is this different from the result of our transaction?" Just as Leo and Sylvia were considering going to the Old Continent, in another room, Longanus seemed to be talking to himself.

"Deal?" The mechanical voice of the artificial intelligence of the space capsule sounded in the room, saying: "Do you think we are trading? If it is a transaction, you and I should be equal, but you are more like an order."

"Whether it's an order or a transaction, I just want the result." Langenus did not discuss with the artificial intelligence how to correctly call the relationship between the two, but said in a very strong tone: "You have to tell me The secret of Leo Dodd, this is my right."

"Yes, you do have the right to let me help you explore Leo Dodd's secrets," the artificial intelligence acknowledged Langenus' power, but then changed the subject and said, "But the problem is that Leo Dodd His authority is higher than yours, and much higher, you are not qualified to get any information about him from me."

Hearing the words of artificial intelligence, Langenus was stunned. After a long time, he said with doubts: "Impossible! I should be the highest authority holder. It is impossible for someone to have higher authority than me?"

The artificial intelligence responded: "Indeed, you are indeed the person with the highest authority, but his authority is not limited to this."

"What do you mean by that?" Langenus was stunned and asked in a deep voice.

The artificial intelligence did not make any further answers.

Seeing that the artificial intelligence was no longer answering, although Langenus was a little annoyed, he also knew that it was impossible for him to ask anything useful.

This time, although he was not able to obtain Leo's secret with the ability of the No. 1 relic, it didn't make him too disappointed. After all, his original purpose of inviting Leo here was not for Leo's secret. It would be great to be able to get this secret, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it, as long as you can gain something from another thing.

Langenus adjusted his mood, and then ordered: "Call out all the abnormal data that appeared in the forbidden cabin during the process of Leo's observation of the No. 0 relic these days."

"I can't do it." The artificial intelligence responded coldly.

"Why?" Longanus asked with anger on his face, extremely dissatisfied.

"Because you don't have permission to read it." The artificial intelligence replied.

Longanus' face became very ugly after hearing this. This is the second time that Relic No. 1 has rejected his request. This kind of thing has never happened before, which also makes him feel a little bit worried when he is angry. , he was worried that he would lose control of Relic No. 1.

He is very aware of his current status. In addition to his own knowledge, it is more because of the control of the No. 1 relic. When the No. 1 relic was unearthed, he immediately obtained the relevant prehistoric information through the world of Velen. The knowledge of civilization, the highest authority of the No. 1 relic, and thus a lot of knowledge about the starry world.

After that, he also controlled the No. 1 relic and made it a shelter for the No. 0 relic, completely helping the Otto Federation to eliminate the burden of the No. 0 relic that may explode at any time, so that he entered the last place of the Otto Federation. The power circle at the top has achieved his current status.

He is very clear that everything he owns now is brought about by the control of the No. 1 relic, but once he loses control of the No. 1 relic, then he is likely to lose all the rights he currently has in a short time. This is something he would never want to see for someone who has already begun to enjoy the fun of power.

Therefore, at this moment, his mind is no longer thinking about how to get the secret of Leo, but about how to regain the highest control over the No. 1 relic.

The best way is naturally to get rid of the person with higher authority, so that he can become the person with the highest authority again, but Langnus can't do this. This doesn't mean that he still has a teacher for Leo. The friendship with the students, in fact, since he was reborn in this world, everything he used to do in the Velen world is like a dream, and it will not have any impact on him, not to mention the teacher-student relationship between him and Leo It was only established in a short period of time, so it cannot be said how profound it is.

The reason why he couldn't do this was because he wasn't sure. From the first time he saw Leo, he felt that Leo was extraordinary. After hearing the rumors about Leo, he became more and more affirmed of this idea.

Up to now, seeing Leo again, this kind of thinking has become more and more intense, which made him move to bring Leo to the No. 1 relic, and use the power of No. 1 relic to help him find out what happened to Leo. Secrets, unraveling the doubts that have trapped him for many years.

But he never expected, but the result was unexpected. He failed to find the secret on Leo, and instead lost the highest control authority over the No. 1 relic.

Although Langenus doesn't know how strong Leo's current ability is, he can be sure that Leo's ability is definitely much stronger than those of the federal secret forces he knows. The Pope and other people who are known as the incarnations of gods may not necessarily pose a threat to Leo.

If there is the assistance of the No. 1 relic, Langenus may have a chance to take down Leo, but the current highest control authority of the No. 1 relic is no longer him. If the No. 1 relic does not cooperate with Langenus to solve him That's fine, let's not talk about cooperating with him to deal with those with more authority.

And more importantly, there is Sylvia beside Leo. He already knew how strong Sylvia was when he was in Velen, and now Sylvia will only be stronger than before. , at least that's how he feels now.

In the sealed compartment of the No. 0 relic, although Longanus's attention was all on the analysis and deciphering data of the No. 0 relic by Sylvia, he also divided part of his attention on Sylvia. body.

What shocked him was that the No. 0 relic had no effect on Sylvia at all. He had never thought of such a situation.

He is well aware of how powerful the curse power of relic No. 0 is. Even the pope of a certain church possessed by the gods cannot resist the erosion of the power of the curse. He was distorted into a human sacrifice pillar in front of him. If it is a relic, it may be difficult to bear the curse of the zero relic.

Originally, he wanted to ask the No. 1 relic to help Sylvia clean up the curse power when the curse power appeared in Sylvia, so as to gain a favor, so that Leo could help him solve some other embarrassments However, now Sylvia is not affected by the No. 0 relic at all, so that this favor has not been sold, which also shows Sylvia's strength from another aspect.

Faced with such two immeasurably powerful top two beings, and his biggest backing could not help but be useless, he might betray him instead. The way to deal with those with higher authority was like suicide for Langenus.

So now, for Longanus, the best way is to let Leo get out of here before he realizes that he has the highest authority of the No. 1 relic, and the farther away from the No. 1 relic, the better.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, contacted the subordinates outside through the communicator, and gave instructions on what to do.

"What? We don't need to be isolated anymore, we can leave?" Leo was stunned, and Sylvia and Sylvia glanced at each other, feeling a little surprised.

"What about the inspection? Isn't there still some inspection that needs to be done?" Sylvia also asked suspiciously.

"No need!" said the banner in charge of the inspection calmly.

Although Leo and Sylvia were puzzled by the sudden change, they didn't say much. They stood up and walked out of the room under the guidance of the banner, and walked outside through the passage.

On the way, Leo suddenly asked, "Where's Mr. Langenus? Is his quarantine over?"

"No, he still needs to observe for two more days." The banned person replied casually.

Leo frowned upon hearing this, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Soon, the banner led the two out of the space capsule, and there were already staff waiting there outside. After greeting the two and identifying their identities, they led them out After leaving this secret laboratory, I boarded the carriage waiting outside, but the direction of the carriage was not towards the city, but turned a corner at the gate of Kartaros City, and drove along the outer ring road .

"Where are you taking us?" This series of weird actions made Leo a little confused and unhappy, and his tone became a lot colder.

The government worker sitting next to the coachman immediately replied: "We have prepared the tickets for the two of you. You can leave today and go back to your estate in Josh County."

"Back to Josh County? Now?" Both Leo and Sylvia were surprised by this answer.

Sylvia seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone doesn't want you to stay here any longer."

While speaking, Sylvia's fingers quickly wrote a few words in the air, and these words were Longanus.

Leo was silent for a moment, and he also felt that this should be done by Langenus, but he didn't know what Longanus did.

"Is there no need to send people to protect us now?" Leo found that there were only a few secret service security guards around the carriage. Compared with the formation when he went to the experimental base before, the current number has obviously dropped to that of ordinary dignitaries. degree.

The government staff replied calmly: "There is a shortage of manpower now, and people need to be used in other important places. Mr. Langenus also thinks that the two should not need to send more security personnel, so he will reduce the manpower to protect the two. .”

Leo said: "I have an agreement with Mr. Langenus, when can I see him again?"

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." The staff hesitated for a moment, as if organizing a speech, and said: "Mr. Langenus is preparing an experiment that is very important to the Federation. It is impossible to get out of it in a short time. I am afraid it will be difficult to do it again." Continue your agreement."

Although this government employee cannot represent Langanus himself, what this person said should be regarded as having been instructed by Langanus, so it can be regarded as Longanus' true intentions, and this also made Leo feel that He felt a very strong sense of repulsion, as if Langenus had already regarded him as a scourge at this moment, and he didn't even want to meet him, so the so-called secret of exploring Truber Mountain together was naturally impossible to talk about.

This can't help but make Leo feel puzzled, wondering where and when he suddenly fell out with Langnus, so that the other party didn't even want to meet.

After recalling it carefully, Leo began to suspect that there was an answer in the memory he had erased. Something must have happened in that memory that caused Langanus to be wary of him.

Regarding this, Leo did not intend to investigate the reason, because since he took the initiative to erase that memory, there is no need to investigate everything related to that memory. On the one hand, he found out something that made him feel horrible and troublesome Come.

Now for Leo, the only thing that is most important is to return to the manor on Trube Mountain and prepare for entering the depths of Trube Mountain.

Therefore, Leo did not continue to ask the government official, but ordered the driver to speed up and go to the station in the suburbs as soon as possible.

The road around the city was well repaired, and there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, so the carriage went smoothly and the speed increased a lot. It saved almost an hour before driving to the train station in the suburbs.

This railway station is not a public railway station in the conventional sense, but a freight station dedicated to material transportation, but this station uses the same railway to transport materials to Josh County.

"Special train?" Leo suddenly couldn't help laughing when he entered the train station and saw the train parked on the platform.

I saw the train waiting on the platform, except for the locomotive, there were only two luxury passenger cars connected together. It was obvious from the current situation that Longanus had prepared a special train to take them back to Josh County.

This also made Leo more and more curious about what happened in the memory that he voluntarily erased, which made Langnus send him away so urgently.

"Why don't we stay here!" Sylvia was also very curious and wanted to know what was going on, so she suggested.

However, Leo shook his head, walked into the luxury car without saying anything, but the special security guards who had protected him and Sylvia did not follow, but stayed where they were. It is not intended to provide any protection for the two of them.

The train was specially prepared for the two of them. After the two of them got on the train, the train slowly drove out of the platform with a long siren. The train left Kartaros in a hurry.

However, although they left, all the things they did in Kartaros are still producing waves of influence, spreading in the political, military, and people's livelihood of the Otter Federation, which is impossible in a short period of time subsided.
