The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the judgment was made, the doubts in Leo's heart did not decrease, on the contrary, it increased, because in the time cases of the Earth Federation, time was passing forward without exception, and no case was going backwards.

However, Peter Alcott’s situation is like he entered the world of Velen sixty years ago when he was a child, and then spent some time with the owner of the villa at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and then moved to the present sixty years later , appeared in Miria City.

In other words, time is like a toy that Peter Alcott can adjust at will, but what is interesting is that Peter Alcott who appears in other worlds is in the state of a child, not an adult.

"Could it be that becoming an adult will make him incapacitated?" Leo suddenly guessed in his heart.

"You shouldn't be here, noble lady! But it's all right, we'll keep you safe."

A burst of noise came from not far away, awakening Leo from his thoughts, and looked towards the place where the sound came from. I saw a group of low-level people living in the slums surrounding a woman in a nun's attire, pulling and tugging, as if they wanted to drag her to the house made of wooden planks and rubble.

"It's her!" With such an obvious outfit, Leo easily recognized who she was, and could vaguely guess why she appeared here, but he didn't intend to make a move, on the contrary, he was very interested Looking at this scene not far away.

At this moment, the surrounded maids circled around the group of low-level people as if they were dancing, and then the group of low-level people fell to the ground in pieces like straws that had been cut.

This scene was watched by the bystanders around, and they all ran away in panic, and a large space was immediately vacated around the maid.

The maid ignored the broken corpses on the ground. She walked like a dexterous cat, and carefully avoided the debris and blood on the ground as if walking in a garden to avoid those flowers, and walked towards Leo. come over.

For ordinary people, this maid just circled around in the crowd, but in Leo's eyes, this woman made at least seventeen sword moves in the circle, and it took less than two seconds before and after. It was her sword that was hidden in her arm.

At this time, Leo also realized that it was inappropriate to call this maid by her, and it was more appropriate to use it, because this maid was not a real human being, but a psionic puppet.

Among the psykers of the Earth Federation, there is a type of psyker who can use certain skills to combine his psychic power with some intelligent robots to make up for his own lack of power, and can, without increasing his psychic level, By continuously improving the equipment of intelligent robots, thereby improving their own strength in a disguised form, this type of psychic is called a puppeteer, or a puppeteer.

This kind of psyker is a rare type of psyker, and there are less than ten such psykers recorded in the history of the Earth Federation. Among the two most famous puppet masters, one controlled the mastermind of a certain mechanical death star, thus controlling the entire planet including the aliens connected to the mastermind with a brain chip, and became the master of this alien planet. The other discovered a seed spacecraft of an ancient cosmic civilization, controlled the spacecraft, and established a new cosmic civilization on the edge of the spiral arm of the galaxy.

The maid in front of me is obviously also a psychic puppet made and controlled by the puppeteer. When I was in the villa before, because the attention was not on the maid, and the other party was too well made, even the sub-brain system was blocked. Lied, so Leo never saw a trace of abnormality.

It wasn't until the moment the maid made a move that a slit was opened on the elbow and wrist, and four nearly transparent long swords were stretched out, that Leo didn't realize that there was something wrong with the maid's body, and then through the investigation of the spiritual net , found that the maid is actually a puppet that is almost indistinguishable from a real person.

Although Leo used the mental network to detect every detail of the maid's body structure, including the positions of small parts such as screws, gears, and springs in her body, and could use the sub-brain system to restore them perfectly, he still felt Even if I copy it as it is, I'm afraid I won't be able to create the same puppet.

Because there are so many unreasonable arrangements inside the puppet, he didn't even understand the composition and operation of the puppet's shell, let alone how the puppet's core power system works. The only thing he figured out was that the knowledge of the Earth Federation's mechanical engineering couldn't be used on this psionic puppet.

Just as Leo was analyzing the psychic puppet in front of him through the secondary brain, the maid had already walked in front of Leo, and said coldly like a real person: "Master wants to see you, please come with me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo to respond, he turned and walked back, but Leo just hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Just after Leo and the maid left, those low-level poor people who were hiding in the shanty cautiously poked their heads out and looked out. After confirming that there was no danger, they ran out of their hiding place one after another, rushed to the side of the broken corpses, and turned over the corpses , looking for the belongings left by those people.

Not long after, guards from the city came here. They dispersed the people gathered around the corpse, and asked about the situation casually. When they heard that the matter involved the noble maid, they stopped asking. , directly restrained the corpse, turned and left, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the maid led Leo all the way to the eleventh district near the noble city.

District 11 is considered a derivative area of ​​the noble city. The vine platform that built the city was formed by extending from the noble city. This is also one of the largest districts in the outer city. Originally, this place was only used to house noble servants and their families. Later, some powerless descendants of nobles established various handicraft workshops here to manufacture some daily necessities for nobles. Now many nobles They all built their own factories and shops here, making it extremely prosperous.

However, after the maid brought Leo to this urban area, she didn't seem to intend to take him to the most prosperous area of ​​the urban area. Instead, she brought him into a building near the entrance bridge of the noble district, and came to a building on the ground floor next to the bridge. Inside the hut on the lake.

Outside the hut, some guards dedicated to the aristocratic area surrounded the place, and no one was allowed to approach, and some metal mesh wizard wonders were hung in the room of the hut, and these wonders could generate a disturbance force field , making it impossible to spy on the situation in the house.

After the maid opened the door, she led Leo in. At this time, Peter Alcott was already sitting by a fireplace in the hut. Compared to just now, his clothes at this moment are much more casual, and more importantly, his dressing style is very French, and the national emblem of the French Empire is embroidered on some obvious parts of his clothes.

"Do we know each other?" After Leo came in, Peter Alcott asked suddenly without any warning, and when asking, he kept his eyes on Leo's expression, trying to see from Leo's face What are the clues.

"I don't know." However, Peter Alcott was destined to be disappointed. When Leo answered, his expression was very calm, and there was nothing worthy of deliberation.

"Don't you know?" Peter Alcott didn't show any disappointment. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "No, I'm sure we must know each other... No, it's not right to say we know each other, we should I have met, we must have met, and you should have left a deep impression on me, so I have an obvious sense of familiarity when I see you."

Leo walked to the chair opposite Peter Alcott and sat down. He didn't show any low-profile behavior because of the identity of the other party, and said calmly: "Maybe you were deceived by your own feelings."

Peter Alcott ignored Leo's words, but looked at Leo carefully, and suddenly said without thinking: "Your clothes are very special."

"You too." Leo replied.

Peter Alcott looked down at the clothes on his body, then fixed his eyes on Leo, and asked in a jumping thinking: "Have you ever dreamed?"

"Of course." Leo nodded.

"Then do you remember what happened in your dream?" Peter Alcott asked again.

Leo responded flatly: "Some remember, some don't."

Peter Alcott nodded as if satisfied with Leo's answer, and then continued: "I had a lot of dreams when I was a child, dreaming that I went to countless very magical dream worlds, and encountered some interesting things there , but after waking up, I don’t remember anything. Until the day I became an adult..." He suddenly paused, a look of fear flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal and continued : "I began to gradually recall the things I experienced in my childhood dreams. Those things were so miraculous but so real that I couldn't help but suspect that the world in those dreams was real. As a lunatic, do you think I am a lunatic?"

"There is often only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic." Leo did not answer directly, but said euphemistically.

"It's interesting to say that you are much smarter than other people. Only smart people can understand smart people's thoughts, and only smart people can be friends with smart people." Peter Alcott changed his lazy posture and put He moved away from the back of the chair, sat up straight, and leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand to Leo, and introduced himself: "Peter Alcott, a genius who is regarded as a madman."

Leo looked at Peter Alcott, smiled and shook the extended hand, and introduced himself, "Leo Dodd, a curious traveler."

"Maria, help us make a glass of succulent water, using the fruit that was just picked from the garden two days ago." Peter Alcott instructed the maid, and asked Leo, "Do you want to add some insect honey? No baking Roasted fresh sago soaked in water is somewhat bitter and sour, and people who drink it for the first time may not be used to it.”

"No, that's it!" Leo shook his head and said.

After getting Leo's answer, the maid turned and walked out of the hut, leaving only Leo and Peter Alcott.

"Just let your maid and protector leave like this, don't you worry about your own danger?" Leo watched the maid walk out of the room, and suddenly looked at Peter Alcott with malicious eyes, and sneered: "You must know that you and I are so close now, if I want to kill you, it is a very simple matter."

"I'm sure you wouldn't do that," said Peter Alcott, smiling.

Leo raised his eyebrows habitually, and said, "You are so sure that I won't do anything."

"I just trust my intuition." Peter Alcott smiled confidently: "My intuition tells me that you are not a threat to me, and also tells me that we can be collaborators. I believe my intuition will not Wrong."

"Accurate intuition, stupid approach." Leo said bluntly.

"Haha, you are not the first to say this." Peter Alcott admired Leo's casual attitude very much, and seemed very happy, and said with a smile: "You know the last one said this to me Who is the person who said the sentence?"

"Who is it?" Although Leo was not interested in this matter, he still followed the other party's words and asked.

"First Chief." After Peter Alcott finished his answer, he looked at Leo expectantly, hoping to see some interesting expressions from Leo's always calm expression.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed, and Leo's reaction was just a nod, as if in his eyes, the first head of the Wizarding Association was just like an ordinary person everywhere.

Peter Alcott was slightly disappointed and puzzled, and then asked: "I heard from the old butler that you have a pair of very good weapons, can you take a look at them?"

Leo nodded, and took down the king and queen again, but this time they did not hand them to each other, but put them on the table.

The unique and exquisite shape of the firearms immediately attracted Peter Alcott's attention. He wanted to reach out and take a look at the pair of spiritual weapons in his hand, but found that the weight of the pair of weapons far exceeded Just imagine, not to mention that he is not in good health now, even when he was in good health, he might not be able to pick up these weapons.

Although he couldn't pick up a weapon, he still didn't lose his interest. He took out a crystal ball-shaped object from his pocket, put it on a bracket, moved it to the side of the king and queen, and stretched out his hand to sweep the crystal ball. However, the crystal ball immediately burst into dazzling light, illuminating the room and clearly illuminating the king and queen.

Just as Peter Alcott was admiring the king and queen at close range, Leo's attention also fell on the luminous crystal ball that Peter Alcott took out.

Although the shape of the bracket has changed somewhat, Leo is very sure that this crystal ball is the eternal light that only Vitovina can make.
