The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The night passed quickly, and the light of the morning shone outside the window. Although the light of the morning and the light of the night did not seem to have much difference, they were all false starlight, not sunlight, but the light of the morning was better than the light of night. The light has a touch of warmth and a golden afterglow.

At the moment when the light appeared in the morning, the two-dimensional beings gathered outside the window disappeared instantly as if they had never existed, and what Leo saw in his vision was only the folded space.

This night can be said to be a near-miss. The building where Leo is located is very powerful. Even if countless 2D lives have gathered outside the house, the power of the building itself can still keep these 2D lives out.

Leo really wanted to know the principle of the building blocking the two-dimensional life, because only by knowing the principle, could he make wizards with similar effects, allowing him to continue exploring the folding space of the wizard tower safely.

Although he doesn't know how dangerous those folded spaces are, he can guess that the two-dimensional life that makes him feel dangerous should be the biggest threat. If there is no way to solve these two-dimensional life, then he will continue to explore this A wizard tower will only put yourself in danger.

However, to his disappointment, after a night of repeated inspections, he was still unable to find any clues to resist the entry of two-dimensional life from this library-like building, and there was no obvious special power in the whole building. , and there is no symbolic pattern that contains mysterious power, and the materials used in the building are only ordinary wood and stone.

Only, the entrance of each room has some special symbols used to screen the entrants, but these symbols have nothing to do with the unknown forces that block the two-dimensional life.

In this case, Leo couldn't help but start to think about whether he should continue to explore this wizard tower.

If you continue to explore, you will naturally get more benefits and benefits. Just one small town that provides services for apprentices has a collection of more than 100 million books. I believe there are many other towns, and the collection of books and collections in the central castle There will only be more treasures, not less, not to mention that the tower that penetrates the sky must also contain the most core mysteries about the tower wizard.

With such a huge benefit in front of him, even if Leo has an unusually powerful state of mind, he will be uncontrollably moved by him, but this kind of heartbeat is not strong, and even considering continuing to explore, it is very likely that he will encounter a two-dimensional Life attacks, or even other mysterious forces hidden in the wizard tower, then these huge benefits become less attractive.

When faced with a choice, Leo took a few deep breaths to suppress the violent fluctuations in his heart, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and finally made a decision that he would regret in the future. leave here.

After making the decision, Leo didn't stay in the building any longer, he left directly, and rushed towards the rune disc when he came outside the town.

Although he decided to leave, he did not completely give up the possibility of exploring here in the future, so when he left the town, he also left some spiritual imprints of himself. If one day he is in the subspace, maybe If he can sense this place, then he can directly enter here to explore. Of course, the premise is that he has mastered the method to deal with two-dimensional life without being assimilated by it.

Compared with the astronomical instrument at that time, you need to know the correct unknown to enter the wizard tower. Leaving the wizard tower is much simpler. Directly stimulate the runes to be perfect through spiritual energy, and you are directly sent out of the wizard tower and return to the real world. in Lake Neah.

I don't know how much time he stayed in the wizard tower converted to the real world. Anyway, he saw the reflection of the wizard tower in the water is very blurred at this time, and the celestial globe on the top of the wizard tower is no longer a corpse. It seems that it can't be used How long will it take to completely dissipate, and it is impossible to rely on the normal way to enter the Wizard Tower.

Leo did not leave immediately, but carefully sensed the psychic imprint he had left in that small town. As he expected, he could not perceive the existence of any imprint at all.

Although the result was not satisfactory, it didn't disappoint Leo. He cleaned up his emotions, floated up from the bottom of the lake, and after identifying the direction, he rushed towards the migration place of the Belmont family in the north.

In the Old Continent, the biggest event was naturally the war between the two aristocratic forces in the central region and the southern region, and the fuse of the war, the assassination of Lord Protector Barbarisa, was not mentioned by many people. They are more willing to talk about the trend of the war, who will be able to unify the central and southern regions of the Middle Kingdom in the end, because they all know that the person who unifies the central and southern regions will most likely become the real ruler of the Middle Kingdom region, and the Middle Kingdom region will be Usher in the unified kingdom they dreamed of.

This matter is not only concerned by the nobles and people of all countries, even the churches in the Old Continent are particularly concerned about this war. Both the Church of the True God and the Church of the Underground Evil God have secretly sent their own observers into the Middle Kingdom to observe The trend of this war, when necessary, provide some help "within our ability", but this help is not to help the unification of the Middle Kingdom, but to prevent the unification of the Middle Kingdom.

On the issue of whether the Middle Kingdom is unified or not, both the Church of True God and the Church of Evil God are surprisingly unanimous in their thinking. They all think that the Middle Kingdom region can maintain the status quo, and there is no need for unification.

It's just that the church can't say anything about this matter, and it's even more impossible to send church armed forces to join the war, so they are all thinking about the progress of the war, and then secretly provide some help to the weaker side at the right time, and then maintain a balance of power.

Although the Church of the True God and the Church of Evil God have the same ideas, they obviously have not exchanged opinions and opinions with the pile beforehand, so that the clergymen they sent to the Middle Kingdom as observers have not had time to fulfill their observer duties. The task was met with a sneak attack by the hostile church, so a contest between the Church of the True God and the Church of the Evil God started in the Middle Kingdom before the war broke out in the central and southern regions.

Throughout the Old Continent, many good people are guessing the final winner of the Middle Kingdom regional war, and even some forces have opened up a gambling game for this. It reached an astronomical figure. Many people who participated in the gambling game and even invested a lot of money secretly entered the surrounding countries of the Middle Kingdom. It seemed that they planned to know the outcome of the war at the shortest distance, or they planned to compare the trend of the war and the outcome of the war. When you bet on the opposite side, you can do something immediately to regain momentum.

However, what surprised everyone was that this protracted war, which most people guessed, ended at a speed far beyond ordinary people's imagination. It took less than 20 days from the start to the end when all the dignitaries in the south were wiped out, and the nobles who sent the assassins set themselves on fire and died.

The whole process of the war can be described in only one word, that is, smooth sailing, starting from Barbarisa's army, going through more than 30 territories of the southern noble lords, and thirteen battles took place, each time On average, the battle took less than an hour. Almost immediately after the start of the battle, the enemy collapsed, and then the noble lord either surrendered or was captured. Only the final battle with Duke Joel in Redwood Canyon lasted for almost half a day. time.

After the battle in Redwood Canyon, the Duke of Joel found that his army was demoralized and it was impossible to win the war. He fled back to the castle of his territory that night. With the support of the state, he set himself on fire in the castle and died. So far, Barbarisa has completed the unification of the central and southern regions.

The progress of this war that will determine the future of the Middle Kingdom region can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Barbarisa did not expect that everything would go so smoothly, so that when he later communicated with his trusted generals, he laughed and said I made a lot of arrangements in advance but haven't displayed them yet.

Even if Barbarisa is like this, the observers of the Church of True God and the Church of Evil God who are trying to control the situation are naturally extremely shocked. They never thought that the Duke of Joel, who is known as the overlord of the south, would be so fragile, and it made those who vowed to be so weak. The allies of the Duke of Joel who sent reinforcements did not send any of them. Instead, they signed a series of peace treaties with Barbarisa as soon as the war ended, including countries that were married to the Duke of Joel.

It was precisely because everything ended so quickly that the observers of these churches did not have time to send out useful information, nor did they have time to allocate resources from the church to support Duke Joel.

And what shocked these church observers even more was that after the battle in the central and southern regions was decided, nearly two-thirds of the lords in the north, including the Green Emerald Forest in the north, sent envoys to meet Barbarisa. , made it clear that they were willing to surrender to Barbarisa. Although none of these envoys mentioned the topic of the establishment of the Middle Kingdom, everyone knew that the unification of the Middle Kingdom was basically a certainty.

There is no doubt that the founding of the Middle Kingdom has completely alarmed the countries of the Old Continent. They have sent their envoys to the Middle Kingdom to inquire about the situation. As for whether they want to see the founding of the Middle Kingdom or do not want to see this happen It is unknown, because all countries have not expressed any opinions or suggestions on this matter, as if they are all planning to be a bystander, which also makes the overall political situation of the Old Continent extremely strange, as if it is a superficial Wang stagnant water, but the bottom is like an undercurrent surging.

Like the governments of various countries, the church has also not expressed any opinion on this matter, but the clergy in the surrounding countries of the Middle Kingdom seem to have become more active, and it is often heard that some clergymen of the Church of True God and members of the Church of Evil God are fighting According to the rumors, the church also dispatched some church armed forces to the surrounding countries of the Middle Kingdom on the grounds that the members of the Evil God Church were frequently active and large in number, and most of them were church armed forces from the Justice Church. The recently lost reputation of the Justice Church has been restored.

However, for the people of the Old World, whether the Middle Kingdom will be established or whether Barbarisa will become a unified king is not what they care about. They care more about the outcome of the war and the bet of compensation gold.

Gambling such as guessing who is the ultimate winner of Barbarisa or the Duke of York is not the focus of everyone's attention, because even if this kind of gambling is correct, the payout is very small. What really attracts everyone's attention is that there are If one person guesses the time when the war will end, the payout will be an astonishing amount.

It's just that the forces that set up the gambling game don't seem to intend to let the gambler get his bet so smoothly, because the end time of the war publicly announced by those forces is not the day when Duke Joel self-immolated, but a few days later The day Barbarisa took over the castle of the Duke of Joel, and there were no gamblers on that day.

It would be fine if the person who guessed the end time of the war was an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to compete with those forces who set up a gamble, but it is incredible that the gambler who guessed the end time of the war turned out to be Barbarisa's Madame, that is, Madam Protector.

As for why the Lady Protector, who had just recovered from her illness, missed her husband’s time to end the war, it was not because of her foresight and wisdom, nor was it because of any magical hints given by Barbarysa. In fact, Barbary Before starting the war, Sa didn't know when she could end the war. The reason why she pressed this time was completely an accident.

When Mrs. Hu Guogong learned that outside forces had gambled on her husband's war, she felt extremely angry, but she couldn't punish those forces. She didn't know what she thought afterwards, maybe it was the suggestion of her personal maid, and she took out With her own money, she bought the bet that her husband won the war in a gambling game set up by different forces, and she asked the maid who placed the bet to buy the bet that the war would be won more than two hundred days later, but her maid The wrong filling took more than 20 days, and a zero was directly missing, which eventually led to Mrs. Protector becoming the biggest winner in this gamble.

Faced with this situation, some forces can only change their words and honestly pay the bet they should pay. Although the amount of the bet is huge, these forces can still make some money from it, but there are still some forces who are greedy and unwilling to change their words , So in the next few days, the leaders and sites of these forces were attacked by mysterious forces one after another. Then he quickly changed the result of the bet and paid the bet.

It was precisely because of this incident that many people discovered for the first time that the seemingly very friendly Lord Protector Barbarisa was hiding an unknown and extremely powerful underground force.
