The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When Leo was looking at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was also very keenly aware of the strangeness, and looked back at Leo. He didn't show disgust because of Leo's complexion, he just frowned habitually, and then showed a little doubt.

Although his snooping was discovered, Leo did not dodge his eyes, but nodded at the middle-aged man, walked over naturally, and said like an acquaintance, "You live in seven The occupants of Room 17, right? I live next to you, and there was enough commotion on your side today, I almost thought something was wrong, and I was going to knock on the door."

When the middle-aged man heard Leo's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then responded flatly: "Sorry, I bothered you!"

Leo could see that the middle-aged man didn't want to talk to him, but he didn't stop there. He deliberately tapped the small wheels on the box and said, "This box is really exquisite. The magic circle on it is all Master's handwriting, did you do it?"

When the middle-aged man saw Leo kicking the box with his toes, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and the killing intent in his heart was also drawn out.

"It's a bit rude of you to do this!" The middle-aged man stared at Leo with a naked killing intent in his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Because the middle-aged man didn't hide his killing intent at all, the surrounding nobles who are particularly sensitive to danger immediately noticed it. Although they didn't understand what happened here, they could feel that Leo and the middle-aged man were very different. , so they unanimously chose to stay away from the two of them, and after a while, a small space was vacated in this somewhat crowded aisle.

"I think this box is suitable for storing corpses, what do you think?" Leo continued to be provocative, while his eyes with activated vision were a little excited to see the nightmare power that was rapidly condensed on the middle-aged man due to the killing intent, While strengthening the perception of the power of nightmares through spiritual perception, at the same time collecting a large amount of energy data sensed into the secondary brain database.

For Leo, the more detailed the data collected when the power of nightmare is active, and after the sub-brain system analyzes and organizes, the more chance he has to master this power of nightmare, so he needs to constantly provoke this middle-aged man Let the power of nightmare emanating from him be stronger.

Sure enough, just after Leo said the words about putting the corpse in the box, the middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly said a word, and then a shock wave like a bomb explosion appeared from him, condensing into a mass toward Leo rushed over.

And Leo, who had been on guard for a long time, also unleashed a spiritual energy attack on the middle-aged man almost at the same time. The two forces collided between the two of them, making a dull sound, and then disappeared invisible. a feeling of.

Both Leo and the middle-aged man were surprised by this situation, especially Leo. He knew very well that his spiritual impact would not be able to completely block the shock wave released by the opponent through special techniques, so he had already prepared for protection and planned to I endured this hard, but I didn't expect things to change so dramatically.

Afterwards, both of them were aware of the reason for this situation almost at the same time, and looked at the ceiling above their heads in unison. I saw that the circles of magic circles on the ceiling covered with Turing radicals were gradually dimming like extinguished lights. It was obvious that the spiritual energy of the two of them was absorbed by the magic circle above.

At this time, a thin security supervisor of a flower shop rushed over after hearing the news, leaped in from a window on one side, stood between Leo and the middle-aged man, and said to the two of them neither humble nor humble: "Your Excellency, if If there is any problem, we can provide a special place for you to solve it, and I hope that your Excellency will not mess around here."

"You're very lucky!" The middle-aged man seemed to have concerns about the flower shop, so he didn't continue to do anything to Leo, but looked at Leo with a sneer, and said.

"I've always been very lucky." Leo responded without showing any weakness, with a slightly smug smile on his face, because after what happened just now, the sub-brain system has collected enough activity data of the power of nightmare, Analysis was underway, and soon this uncontrolled force was no longer a burden to him.

The middle-aged man obviously also saw the weirdness in Leo's smile, but he didn't know why Leo smiled so proudly, but he instinctively felt that he might have done something beneficial to Leo just now.

At this moment, the huge boar-shaped monster blocking the aisle was moved away from the aisle, revealing the exit ahead.

The nobles, who were frightened by Leo and the middle-aged man's sudden action, left quickly to avoid getting involved in unnecessary disputes, especially the troubles of the two wizards.

Seeing that the aisle has been cleared, the middle-aged man has no intention of continuing to entangle with Leo. He dragged the box and walked quickly towards the exit. near.

Leo didn't follow up to continue provoking, or directly caught him, because doing so would not do him any good. After all, he didn't have any evidence to prove that this middle-aged man was the murderer of the murder in District 23.

Moreover, the identity of this middle-aged man is obviously unusual. Even if there is evidence, catching him may not necessarily cause him danger. On the contrary, it is very likely that Leo himself will be involved in trouble.

What's more important is that Leo accidentally unlocked a kind of power contained in the dream body. The most important thing now is to find out how to use this power, improve and stabilize his own power, and other things are secondary .

After waiting at the spot for a while and staggering a certain distance from the middle-aged man, Leo left the flower shop under the note of the head of security of the flower shop, and returned to his temporary residence in the twenty-third district.

At the same time that Leo and the middle-aged man were leaving, the supervisor in charge of the internal security of the flower shop also wrote down what happened just now in detail, and ordered someone to hand over the report to a certain office in the eleventh district. After that, several people passed on the report, and finally the report was placed on Peter Alcott's bedside, and his maid read out the contents of the report one by one.

"How did the two of them conflict?" After listening to the report, Peter Alcott said a little puzzled.

The maid replied blankly: "Analysed from the report, it's a language conflict."

"No, it can't be a language conflict!" Peter Alcott shook his head, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Maria, did he bring that box with him when he came?"

The maid knew exactly who Peter Alcott was talking about, nodded and said: "Yes, he has always carried a box," she said, pausing for a moment, with a touch of emotional emphasis: "Do anything Bring them all."

Seeing the maid's emotional movements, Peter Alcott smiled again, and then turned his attention back to the report, saying: "There must be something wrong with that box, and that Leo Dodd also You should know something." As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead with his hand and said, "Although I think Leo Dodd may be our opportunity, it seems that he is also a trouble now."

The maid's tone returned to that indifferent state, and she asked, "Didn't you see his future?"

Peter Alcott shook his head, and said: "I see, there are many fragments, and most of them are blurry. Only the two future fragments of Marek asking him to investigate the case and him leading you into the abandoned city are very clear. As for the report This is not one of the things mentioned above."

"What should we do now? Do you need it..." the maid asked.

"No, no matter how big he is, as long as it doesn't affect the affairs of the abandoned capital, we don't have to pay attention." Peter Alcott waved his hand, then picked up the report and looked at it carefully, and said: "He has contacted We passed Wizmir, and judging from Wizmir’s emotions afterwards, things went well, and now we have to wait for the result from the Ninth Chief.”

"Will the Ninth Chief agree?" the maid asked again with the worry of ordinary people.

"I will agree," Peter Alcott said very confidently: "His current situation does not allow him to disagree, and he will also send his master disciple, a guy called an expeditioner. That guy is strong enough, It's a pity that you don't have enough brains, just to help us open the way." He paused for a while and said, "Don't send someone to monitor that Leo for the time being. It's useless to monitor with his ability. We will be a bystander for the time being. It's all right."

While Peter Alcott was discussing what happened in the flower shop, Leo had already returned to the temporary residence. After signaling Sophie, who had been waiting for the door, to go back and rest, he went to the third floor where there were a large number of magical objects for wizards. and the room with wizard books.

Just like the study on the second floor, this room is also the study below, and the secret room above is the workshop, but the area is much smaller, less than one-third of the room on the second floor.

All the wizards and wonders sensed by the spiritual network are stored in the secret room, but Leo is not interested in those wizards and wonders. Because the psychic fluctuations on it are too weak, so weak that even the web-shaped wizard wonders are far inferior, and the psychic energy is mixed and interferes with each other, even if it is a finished product, it is not a fun thing.

Leo's attention is all on the books in the room. The books here are all books related to wizards. There are more than 700 books in a rough count. It is not difficult to see that these books are all the most common and basic wizard books, as long as they have a little status and status, they can get them all.

Leo was not surprised by this. After all, no matter how much Peter Alcott believed in the defenses of his house, he probably would not store those precious books involving the core of wizards here.

In fact, for Leo, the basic wizard books in front of him are what he really wants. As for the real wizard books with more advanced content, even if they are given to him, it may be difficult for him to understand them. After all, they are in his backpack. There is more than one book about the wizard of the tower, and I haven't been able to read the first chapter until now.

Leo was not in a hurry to randomly pick out a wizard book to read, but carefully read the cover names of all the books.

Although there are many wizard books, there are 523 books of the same type, but the revisions are different. This book is a wizard apprentice manual for every member of the Wizard Association.

The book revision time is printed on these wizard apprentice manuals. Calculated according to the time of the silver lunar calendar here, the earliest one was compiled 613 years ago, and it will be revised almost every year after that. However, the publication time of some of these manuals is more than ten or even decades apart, and the content has changed a lot before and after. These few wizard apprentice manuals with a long time interval are classified by Leo as categories. mark, thus dividing these wizard's apprentice manuals into five periods.

Leo put the other wizard books aside for the time being, and focused all his energy on these apprentice wizard manuals. Although these apprentice wizard manuals may involve very little witchcraft, most of them are some theoretical or common sense content, but these However, the notes can provide him with a lot of basic information, allowing him to have a systematic understanding of the development of witchcraft in this world.

Reading more than 500 books is a heavy task for others, but it is very easy for Leo, not to mention that a lot of content in these wizard apprentice manuals is repetitive, which makes him include the books in the database speed has become faster.

In just two ticks, Leo has already collected more than five hundred wizard apprentice manuals into the database.

Leo did not continue to collect other wizard books, but sat at the desk in the room, consulting the archives analyzed and sorted out by the sub-brain system. This archives charts the complete development of wizards in the dream world. showed up.

A great turmoil that occurred more than 600 years ago without any detailed records was a turning point in the development of the Wizarding Association of the entire dream world. Just like what happened in the turmoil, there is no record of what the wizards looked like before the turmoil.

From the earliest wizard apprentice manual, it can be seen that the situation at that time was very chaotic, and the compilation of the wizard apprentice manual was somewhat random. Some witchcraft that Leo saw required at least level 3 or higher psychic abilities were also compiled into this enlightenment manual. It can be seen that the situation of the Wizards Association was very bad at that time, and no one had any intention of developing wizard apprentices.

Judging from the date of publication of the manual, this chaotic period was thirty-six years long. The latest wizard's apprentice handbook was published ten years later, and the content of this handbook is obviously much better than the previous wizard's apprentice handbook. Not only is there no error or omission, but the content of each chapter is well organized , All the witchcraft that cannot be mastered by apprentices are also eliminated, and only a few witchcrafts such as meditation methods are kept for apprentices' enlightenment.

However, judging from the content of the Wizard Apprentice Handbook for the next fifty years, it seems that there have been some troubles in the cultivation of wizards during this period. There are a lot of deletions and revisions in the contents of the manual every year, especially the way of meditation is almost changed every year. It seems that the official wizards of the Wizarding Association are trying to find a useful method among the many meditation methods.
