The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

I don’t know if it’s because the people from the church countries didn’t expect that the Otter Federation would send the special weapon manufacturers away from the heavily protected capital county, and they haven’t assigned any security personnel, or the route arranged by Langenus is particularly secretive. Compared with safety, all in all, compared with the dangers encountered in the capital, Leo and Sylvia seemed much calmer and more stable when they returned to Josh County. Not to mention encountering interceptors along the way, not even small animals hit a single place Only.

When Leo and Sylvia returned to the manor, the housekeeper who stayed behind was still very surprised. In his opinion, the two of them should go at least a few months, and he didn't expect to come back so soon.

After returning to the manor, Leo began to prepare to enter Truber Mountain.

The biggest problem in entering Trube Mountain is how to avoid being affected by the mysterious power shrouded in Trube Mountain. Before going to Kartaros, Leo had some ideas and plans, but through the channel Kartaros came into contact with the power of distortion. Afterwards, the originally conceived plan has also become more perfect.

When he was on the train, Leo had already prepared several sets of plans. After returning to the manor, he immediately began to prepare the required materials. In just three days, he had already made five sets of plans with the power of distortion as the core. Runic talisman.

After testing, it was found that the two sets of amulets were very effective, and they could shield about 90% of the mysterious power shrouded in Truber Mountain.

The only flaw is that this set of talismans will also affect Leo and Sylvia's spellcasting and skills. The witchcraft, psionic or bloodline abilities they cast are often distorted by the force of distortion after they are cast, and the effect is produced. Unpredictable changes, the psionic energy that was originally used to attack the enemy may become an attack on oneself, and the witchcraft that was originally defensive ended up exploding around like a self-detonation. All in all, wearing those two sets of talismans, it's fine if you don't use any supernatural power, but once you do, it's more like committing suicide.

Also because of this reason, Leo had to postpone the plan to enter the mountain, but spent a few more days to build two firearms for himself and Sylvia respectively, and also made a talisman for Sylvia Wen knight sword.

Although unable to cast any spells, Leo and Sylvia's spear and sword skills are top-notch, coupled with their own physical fitness, making them ordinary people like them have mediocre power, and they cannot fight against any extraordinary creatures or monsters at all. A weapon of strength becomes a lethal weapon in their hands.

Originally, Leo and Sylvia planned to spend a little more time getting familiar with the new weapons before going into the mountains, but what they didn't expect was that someone automatically came to their door to be a weapon experimenter.

"How many?" In the study, Sylvia signed a property gift contract, received it in a briefcase, put it on the table, and asked Leo.

"Thirty-four." Leo quickly gave the exact number, and then asked casually, "You come, or I come."

"Let me come!" Sylvia hung the knight sword made by Leo on her waist, and was about to leave the room, but suddenly thought of something, took off the two short spears she was wearing, put them on the table, and said : "I want to see if the skill with the sword is rusty, I won't bring the gun."

After finishing speaking, she didn't go through the main entrance, but jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness outside.

After Sylvia left, Leo picked up the bell on the table and shook it, summoned the butler in, handed over the briefcase on the table, and said, "Hey Ni and I are leaving tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't come back here in time, and you can only disband. In this briefcase, there is a property donation contract signed by Xi Ni and I. They are some of our current properties in the Otter Federation. Although the amount is not large, the distribution After giving it to you, it is rich enough, I hope you can use this money to live well."

The butler was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that he did not refuse. He just held the briefcase in his hand without opening it, and then asked very calmly, "Is there any other orders?"

"No more." Leo signaled that he could leave.

The butler turned and left the room, and then gently closed the door. Although he was calm in front of Leo, he could feel his excitement from the hurried footsteps after the door closed. You must know that the gift has become a contract. , then it means that the donated property is definitely not a small amount, and he is very clear about this, and now he is anxious to go back to their servant's small building to see what is inside.

A little bit of time passed, the window of the room was reopened, and Sylvia, who was clean but with a trace of blood, came in from outside, then threw a necklace with the church emblem on the table, and said : "He is also a member of the Lord of the Source Church."

After hearing this, Leo frowned, picked up the necklace, looked at the badge on it, and said, "Do you think that the Lord of the Source church is staring at you for other reasons than because of the weapons I made? on ours?"

"Other reasons?" Sylvia thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "We probably haven't dealt with the Priest Church before."

Leo pondered for a moment, and said: "No! It is possible that we have dealt with each other, but because that matter is just a very common thing for us, so we don't think there is anything worth looking into."

"What do you think it will be?" Sylvia asked.

Leo thought for a while and said, "Lake Beruk."

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "Lake Beruk? Are you talking about the island or the lake?"

"It's in the lake." Leo said in a deep voice, "That monster appeared too suddenly. If it weren't for me, the Otto Federation would suffer heavy losses, and even the waterway would be completely cut off. Or the transportation of materials, there will be big problems for the Ott Federation. If the surrounding church countries attack the Utt Federation at the same time, it may be difficult for the Utt Federation to gain the upper hand in this war, even with the grenade I made, It also cannot change the situation of the battle.”

"Do you think that monster was released by the Church of the Source?" Sylvia thought for a while and said, "It is indeed very possible. If that is the case, you will destroy the entire battle situation and change the direction of the follow-up war." Well, the Master of Source Church who planned all this does not hate you, Ou Nan. However, there should not be many people who know about it, and with the character of Longanus, he should have been sealed off. Now the Master Church of Source is assassinating you If it was because of that incident, then it means that there were probably spies from the Lord of Origin Church in that ship at that time, otherwise how would they know that you solved the monsters."

Leo said indifferently: "No matter what, it doesn't matter. After we finish exploring Truber Mountain, we will go to the old continent. As for the new continent, there is no need to spend too much thought." Sylvia asked, "Is the long sword handy?"

"Very good, better than the weapons I used before." Sylvia took out the long sword and wiped it twice, even though there was no blood on it, and then asked a little curiously: "This long sword is being cast. At that time, did you also add some power of the sacrificial knife, splitting the all-metal armor is like splitting cardboard without any hindrance."

Leo nodded and admitted: "It's not joining, it's imitating, and the effect is not bad." Then, he handed two more firearms to Sylvia and said: "Do you still need to familiarize yourself with these two guns? "

"No need." Sylvia fastened the holster belt around her waist, then quickly pulled out the pistol, and directly fired two shots at the two candlesticks at the other end of the room. One shot used normal bullets, and the other The gun was an energy bullet formed by injecting one's own witch power. The two bullets easily hit the candle's wick, extinguishing the light without destroying the candle itself.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't say anything, and Sylvia and Sylvia each put on hunting clothes that could walk in the forest, then put on the backpacks they had prepared earlier, jumped out of the window, and headed towards Bain and Bain. Hurry over to the agreed location.

The reason why Leo put all kinds of materials in his backpack instead of in a more convenient storage space was mainly because he was worried that he would not be able to open the storage normally due to the influence of the mysterious power of Truber Mountain. Space, so using the most primitive method to transport materials is the safest and most practical method.

On the day they returned to the villa, Leo had already notified Bain to pick them up. Based on the time, Bain should have been waiting at the pre-arranged place for several days. Try the weapon, maybe he still needs to wait a few days before he can wait for Leo.

After entering the forest area of ​​Truber Mountain, Leo and Sylvia both felt a weak force around their bodies, trying to influence their brains' judgments on external things.

The moment this power appeared, the rune talisman hanging on Leo and Sylvia's necks immediately produced a distorting force, causing this weak force to be instantly distorted into a harmless energy wave, Maybe it was because this force was very weak, but everything happened suddenly and smoothly.

Seeing this situation, Leo also understood that the rune talisman he made with the power of distortion as the core had already had an effect, which made Leo very happy.

Afterwards, Leo judged the direction again, and then he and Sylvia walked along the edge of the forest towards the position where Baine was waiting.

About half an hour later, the two arrived at the place where they agreed to meet with Bain, but what made people feel puzzled was that Bain was not here, the open space was empty, and there was no one there.

"Hasn't he arrived yet?" Sylvia frowned in displeasure.

"No, he's already here, it's just that something happened." Leo denied Sylvia's guess, then pointed to some messy bushes not far away, and said, "He should have come here, but it seems He was followed by someone, and then the stalker made a sudden move, he was knocked out by surprise, and was finally arrested."

Hearing Leo's analysis, Sylvia also took a look around the bushes with obvious signs of fighting, and then found that there were no blood stains around, and there was no smell of blood in the air, but the bushes on the ground had There are a lot of damage, it seems that Bain was not stunned, and he also made some resistance, but his resistance was too weak, and he was easily knocked down by the wine glass and taken away.

"What should we do now?" Sylvia asked.

Leo was silent for a moment, and said, "Since we lost a guide, let's catch another one!"

After speaking, he suddenly looked in another direction of the small grassland, and saw a long-tailed rat that was common in Truber Mountain squatting on the tree over there.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people should not have any thoughts when they see such a long-tailed rat in the forest, and they will only think that it is just an ordinary forest animal.

However, Leo could keenly feel that the long-tailed rat showed a special sight after they entered the grassland, especially when they checked the traces of the fight under their feet, as if a wise person It's like spying from the side, so Leo is basically sure that this long-tailed rat should be the companion animal of a member of the Luf family.

Perhaps from the sight of Leo and Sylvia, realizing that he was exposed, the long-tailed mouse immediately jumped through the lush branches and leaves of the forest, and ran towards the depths of the forest.

However, neither Leo nor Sylvia followed up at this time, chasing after the long-tailed rat, but turned around and walked to a place slightly in the middle of the lawn, and then Sylvia said to a clump of grass under her feet: " Do you get up by yourself, or we arrest you."

There was no movement in the grass, and Sylvia immediately pulled out the long sword in her hand, and was about to charge towards the grass. Immediately, someone shouted under the grass: "Wait, wait! I'll come out, I'll come out!"

As the words fell, a middle-aged man who was so thin that he looked like a child came out of the grass. At the same time as he got out, the long-tailed rat that had run away before came out of the woods and ran into the middle of the grass. young people's side.

"Bain, promise to take us into Truber Mountain," Leo said very directly: "Since he has been arrested, then you can replace him! Anyway, they are guides, everyone is the same."

"I don't know how to enter the mountain." The middle-aged man instinctively felt the strength of Leo and Sylvia through his companion beast, so he didn't dare to resist, and quickly explained: "I live outside the mountain. I have never entered the mountain before, but this time I was sent here to guard because the family is short of manpower."

Both Sylvia and Leo could see that the middle-aged man was not lying, and what he said was true, so Leo asked again: "Since you were sent here to monitor the movement, what if there is any abnormal movement? How do you tell the Lufu family in the mountain?"

The middle-aged man said honestly: "This one just needs to go to the outpost hill, wait for the clansmen in the mountain to come out by themselves, and then report up."

Hearing this, Leo said, "In this case, take us to the Sentinel Hill!"
