The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Leo's words, the white-haired woman only remembered the matter of language at this time. As Leo said, this state of conversation is indeed the first time she has encountered it, and this situation cannot be explained from any knowledge in her memory.

"Could it be that this world is really a dreamland of gods?" the white-haired woman with a puzzled expression whispered.

Because of her own talent, the white-haired woman has been to many wonderful worlds, but the difference between those worlds and the world she lives in is mostly just the difference in civilization and environment. There has never been a world like the world she is in now It is so wonderful that anyone can understand each other's different languages.

The white-haired woman asked again: "You just said that you are also from another world, so the world you came to is also the same as this world..."

Leo replied: "No, it's a normal world with different languages ​​and countries."

"How did you come here?" The white-haired woman asked curiously, "Are you the same as me?"

Leo shook his head and said, "I was sent here because of some power that I haven't figured out yet."

Hearing Leo's answer, the white-haired woman fell silent again, and after a while asked some questions related to the world's customs, environment, and civilization.

When answering the white-haired woman's questions, Leo also deduced from these questions that the white-haired woman should have a very rich experience in traveling to and from different civilizations, because these questions are all practical questions. Through these questions, This white-haired woman was able to adapt to life in the present world in a short period of time.

After asking about some precautions in life, the white-haired woman was silent for a while, her expression changed from her previous relaxed look, and she asked a little seriously: "The last question, is there any danger in this world?"

"I don't know about other dangers, but..." Leo stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, pointed to the lake, and said, "There are some powerful monsters hidden in this lake," and then pointed Pointing to the direction of the lake shore in the distance, he said: "Outside the lake area and beyond the city wall, some powerful monsters of unknown origin also roamed around. Those monsters have all kinds of strange powers and are also very dangerous."

The white-haired woman walked to Leo's side, and looked out of the window. Apart from the dark lake, the only thing she saw was the blurred torches of the city wall in the distance. Although she couldn't see any of the so-called dangers mentioned by Leo in the dark, her intuition still gave her a sense of danger, as if there was some horror watching her in the darkness of the lake.

The white-haired woman withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. At the same time, some doubts arose in her heart, and she couldn't help asking: "Since this place is very dangerous, why do people in this world want to build towns and live here? What about here?"

Leo didn't answer directly, but returned the question as it was, and said, "Why do you think people in this world build towns on this dangerous lake?"

The white-haired woman didn't answer, but just smiled awkwardly. In fact, after she said the question, she knew she had asked a stupid question. Why would people here build towns on this dangerous lake if there were other relatively safe places.

"I have no problem." The white-haired woman returned to the chair again, and then said to Leo: "It's you who asked."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Leo Dodd, and I am a traveler with strong curiosity." Leo also sat back and said casually.

"Ah?" The white-haired woman couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then a look of obvious embarrassment appeared on her face. It was obvious that she realized that she had asked so many questions just now, but she forgot the most critical question, which is also the last question. Common manners.

Afterwards, she stood up and saluted Leo cautiously, "My name is Xi... er, no, I'm Jivie El, a demon hunter."

Although Leo could see that the name Jivie El was probably not the real name of the white-haired woman, he didn't ask any further questions, but continued to ask questions he was interested in, saying: "Ms. Jiwi El..."

"It's Miss." Jillier corrected the wrong address and said.

"Sorry, Ms. Jillier." Leo apologized without much sincerity, and then continued to ask: "Can you tell me, how did you enter this world? Is it magic? Or some other power?"

"This should be considered magic! Yennefer once mentioned that this is a kind of blood power, which comes from one of my ancestors." Although it involves her own secrets, Ji Weier did not hide it, and said truthfully out.

Although judging from some behaviors, she still maintains some vigilance towards Leo, but this is just an instinctive vigilance that strangers should have when getting along, not really repelling or hostile towards Leo.

Jivie Elle knew very well that Leo had saved her before and healed her wounds. If Leo really had any ill intentions towards her, during the period when she fell into a coma, Leo could easily take care of her. Doing something on her body, and her intact state now proves that Leo has no bad intentions for her, at least now she is a trustworthy person.

However, Javier didn't know that she would have such a sense of trust in her heart, and even the act of easily revealing her secret was actually because of the guidance of Leo's previous actions. Otherwise, according to her own personality, even if Leo saved her and didn't show any hostility, she probably wouldn't reveal her big secret to a stranger.

From the moment Leo took the initiative to let Jivie Elle ask questions first, the white-haired woman had already fallen into Leo's psychological trap, and the behavior of answering every question in detail afterwards was like peeling an onion Little by little, he disintegrated the other party's defenses, and finally put the emotion of trust in this strange woman's heart.

Because no supernatural power was used, all psychological guidance was hidden in ordinary speech and behavior, so Jivie El, who was the person involved, could not detect any abnormalities.

Mutual self-introduction is a foreshadowing, and the subsequent question involving Jivie El's own secrets is a temptation. From the moment the other party answers, Leo already understands that his psychological guidance has succeeded.

Although Leo wanted to know more about the mystery of the time-space psionic energy originating from the blood, he also knew that some things should not be overdone, otherwise it would be counterproductive, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Chasing and killing you!" Are those people from the world of ice and snow that we first met?"

Seeing that Leo didn't continue to ask about the strength of her own blood, Ji Weier was faintly relieved. Although she had already told the secret of her own strength, she still didn't want to talk about this issue in her heart. After all, she Most of the sufferings encountered come from their own blood.

"Those are wild hunts, they come from the world of death, and that world of ice and snow is also a world that is entering death." Jillier replied.

Leo asked curiously again: "Do those Wild Hunts have the same power as you that can go to different worlds?"

"No," Jillier shook her head, but she couldn't be sure, so she added in a somewhat vague tone: "Maybe not, I don't know very well. In my world, wild hunting is also a kind of legend. No one can be sure whether they really exist, just as mysterious as the gods. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe that the wild hunt is real."

"Then why are they chasing you?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know." Jillier shook her head in a daze, her face became very ugly, and said: "When I saw them, they kept chasing and killing me. No matter where I fled, after a while They will find it in time."

Under the analysis of the secondary brain system, several guesses emerged in Leo's mind, and he tentatively stated the most likely guess, saying: "Could it be because of your blood?"

"My blood?" Ji Weier was stunned for a while, and couldn't help thinking.

From Jillier's reaction, Leo could feel that the other party really didn't know why he was being hunted down, and the reason why he had such a guess was entirely because he felt that if he was Wild Hunting, he would also be killed. You must be interested in this magical blood power that can travel through time and space.

While Javier was contemplating, Leo was also thinking about the blood on the opponent, considering the possibility of obtaining this blood from the opponent.

After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and denied this idea. Apart from the fact that the wizard transformation technique recorded in the wilderness wizard's notes may not allow him to perfectly integrate this blood gene, what is more important is that his body itself There is already an unknown bloodline gene. Before this gene is completely stabilized, rashly merging other heterogeneous genes may cause its own genes to collapse.

"Sorry, I thought of something just now..." At this moment, Ji Weier suddenly recovered from her contemplation.

"It's okay, I'm also thinking about something." Leo waved his hand, and then asked with a little concern: "Miss Javier, if you need a quiet environment to think, then I won't ask the next question gone."

"No, there's no need." Jillier shook her head and said with a smile: "Actually, I also gained something from answering Mr. Leo's questions. Besides, you can call me Ciri."

"Ciri?"

Javier explained: "That's my other name."

"In this case, you can also call me Leo, let's be more casual." Leo showed a smile on his face. In the eyes of others, this is just a change of name, but in his opinion, it represents Ji Wei Ai Er no longer had much vigilance against herself, and began to regard herself, a stranger she had just met, as a friend.

Leo didn't boldly ask the other party some privacy questions because of Jivie El's attitude change, instead he chose the questions he was interested in more carefully, and then thought about Ji Wei El's attitude in the conversation just now, Only then did he ask: "Just now, Shirley, you mentioned a profession called a demon hunter. Can you talk about it?"

"Of course." Jillier has an extraordinary enthusiasm for the profession of witcher. Seeing that her new friend, Leo, seems to be interested in this profession, she is also very happy in her heart, and her face is also revealed. He smiled sincerely, and explained the profession of a witcher in great detail.

When Jivie El explained the profession of the demon hunter, Leo was not just a listener, but kept interjecting to ask some key questions, such as the grass trial of the demon hunter, such as the alchemy of the demon hunter. spells and unique magic seals, etc., and he is also very interested in the phenomenon of the convergence of the celestial and spheres in that world.

According to Jillier, the world she lived in had no magic, demons and other supernatural powers and creatures at the beginning. All supernatural existences began with a mysterious phenomenon called the convergence of the celestial and spheres. That mysterious phenomenon is not only Bringing the power of magic to that world, and bringing monsters from other worlds into that world.

The reason why Leo is interested in the phenomenon of celestial sphere convergence is that when he first heard this phenomenon, No. 9 Golden Oak Street came to mind. Although there are some differences, it is undeniable that the two phenomena have more similarities. The details are very similar.

In addition, the Demon Hunter's Grass Trial also interested Leo, because from Jillier's description, he felt that this Grass Trial was actually another unknown heterogeneous gene fusion technology, and it was an already Relatively mature gene fusion technology.

Apprentice demon hunters change their genes by taking green grass potions that are added to some special organs of monsters, so as to gain some supernormal powers, such as special vision, supernormal five senses, etc., and the cells of the body are also changed, gaining things such as longevity, fast speed, etc. Abilities like healing, great strength and stamina.

Moreover, judging from the process of the apprentice demon hunter accepting the grass trial, the success or failure of the grass trial depends more on the will of the person undergoing the trial than the potion itself. Only those with a strong will can survive the great pain brought about by the trials, and can finally complete the gene fusion. Otherwise, the will will relax, fall into a coma, and the genes will collapse and die directly.

Although the grass trial is not necessarily suitable for the fusion of omega-level biological genes, this mature gene fusion technology can also provide Leo with a lot of inspiration, so he also wants to know the formula of the grass potion.

Unfortunately, Ji Weier said that the formula of the green grass potion was lost in a massacre against the demon hunter organization, and she did not know the specific content of the potion formula.

Leo could see that Javier was not lying, so he could only express regret, but the alchemy knowledge of the witcher mentioned by Javier later gave him a different surprise.

Just like the herbalism in the world of Velen, the alchemy of the witcher mentioned by Javier is also based on herbal medicine, but because some monster organs are added to it, these medicines can produce extraordinary effects. Effect.

The classification of alchemy by demon hunters is very simple. There are only two types. One is called sword oil, which is to apply special potions on the sword, which can produce obvious damage effects on some powerful monsters, just like poison. The other type is potions, which are used to take. Some of these potions can quickly heal wounds like healing potions, and some potions can make people have powerful strength and agile movements within the effective time of the potion, just like injecting adrenaline. , and some medicines can bring some magical powers to the users, such as night vision and so on.
