The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Through the book Fog Observer, Leo learned that the gray fog covering this world and the world of Velen is actually fluid, and the law of its flow is not clear to Leo for the time being. If you want to know more about the gray fog , perhaps only by entering the interior of the gray mist.

In addition to the book Fog Observer, which gave Leo a lot of inspiration, another book called The Ghost Ship in the Fog can also provide Leo with a lot of information.

Unlike the Fog Watchers, which was compiled by the Fog Observing Lighthouse organization, this Ghost Ship in the Fog is actually some of the most representative books on ghost ships in dozens of coastal kingdoms This book can be said to be a collection of the research and observation of the gray fog ghost ship. Almost everyone who is interested in the gray fog ghost ship will read or collect one.

The book in Bernando's hands is not new, but the first edition of Ghost Ships in the Gray Fog. This edition only produced 3,000 copies, and it contains as many as fifty books related to ghost ships. Four books, the one with the most collection of books among all editions. Later, due to various reasons, the reprinted book "Ghost Ship in the Gray Fog" has continuously deleted and included books. It is now the eighth edition, and the latest one There are only 17 related books included in the edition.

Leo didn't know who the previous owner of the ghost ship in the gray mist was, but he was able to guess from the research experience left by four different handwritings in the book that at least four owners of this book were real ghosts ship researcher.

The coastal kingdom of Novat mainland has tried to study the ghost ship in the gray fog for a long time, and even sent people into the gray fog when the ghost ship appeared to see if they could get close to the ghost ship. No matter how many people were sent in, none of them came out. Some people even tried to connect the boat with a rope wrapped around a buoy, and then pulled the boat back after a certain period of time to see if it could get people out of the gray fog. The boat came back intact, but the people were gone.

So the so-called ghost ship researchers are actually ghost ship observers. They can only observe the shape of the ghost ship in the gray fog at a place far away from the gray fog, and then describe it. Some people can even describe these The ghost ship was drawn, and all the related books collected by the ghost ship in the gray fog contained a large number of ghost ship drawings, which also greatly facilitated Leo's identification of what those so-called ghost ships were.

Through the text introduction and the paintings of the observers at that time, Leo easily recognized that most of the ghost ships in this book have nothing to do with ships, they are more like some kind of mirage, some power in the gray fog The projection of a certain city in another world was projected here. Among these city projections that were regarded as ghost ships, Leo recognized the source of two projections, one was the city of Miria in the world of Velen, and the other It is the three major city-states and holy towers of Vanaheim Crack Plain, because these two cities have very obvious landmarks.

It was within Leo's expectation that the city of Velen World would be projected into the gray fog. After all, this world is so closely connected with the world of Velen, but the city of Vanaheim was projected into this world, which was completely beyond Leo's expectation. As expected, because in his opinion, the Nine Worlds where Vanaheim is located and the world of Velen should be very far away, unless there is no distance limit for the gray fog projection, as long as it is the world touched by the gray fog, it can is projected.

In addition to the projections of cities, there are also many projections of spaceships. Through the obvious characteristics of those projections, Leo identified most of the spacecraft models corresponding to the so-called ghost ships. Most of these spacecrafts are colonial ships, only a few Space battleships, and what is even more amazing is that from the complete records of these ghost ships from appearance to disappearance in the book, he feels that some of the spaceships corresponding to these projections are being piloted.

The reason why Leo thinks so is because in the relevant descriptions, these spaceships have tail flames when they appear and disappear, and observers can see the dazzling light shining in the gray fog, and if the positions of these lights are compared The type of the spacecraft can be determined to be at the end of the engine, which means that the spacecraft are all in a driving state.

In the various worlds within the scope of the world tree, scientific and technological items from cosmic civilizations are not uncommon. Leo also knows that many people in the world even know how to use these technological items, even if they do not know the principles of these technological items, but This is the first time Leo has seen such things as driving a spaceship normally. He was surprised enough to see the man driving the aircraft in Vanaheim before, but now everything revealed from the gray fog Looking at it, it is very likely that one or some worlds have mastered the driving method of the spaceship. If so, those worlds may have begun to contact the outer subspace and understand the truth of the world.

For example, all the worlds are just subspace planes, and everything in the sky, including the sun and the moon, is just an imaginary imitation of the laws of the world. Maybe some of the moons are special stars. For example, the moon in the world of Velen is a brood spaceship , but the moons in other worlds, at least those worlds that Leo has been to, including the current world, the starry sky and the moon in the sky are illusions constructed by the laws of the world on the space barrier, and the engine of the spaceship is enough to break through the surrounding world. The space barrier, entering the outer subspace, will inevitably allow these worlds who master the spaceship driving technology to get in touch with the truth of the world.

Leo thought that the worlds that can master the spaceship driving technology must have preserved a very high level of cosmic civilization, and maybe they can find something interesting in those worlds.

Except for spaceships and world projections, all other so-called ghost ships that appear in the gray fog are monsters hidden in the gray fog, and several of these monsters have even appeared in the world of Velen. According to the descriptions of observers, those The gray fog monster seems to be able to see the situation outside the gray fog.

For example, there is an observer who drives a boat close to the edge of the gray fog, and wants to observe the ghost ship in the gray fog at a very close distance, and the object he observes seems to be able to see him, and tries to break out of the gray fog and capture the ghost ship in the gray fog. The observer who was outside was using some kind of babbling to influence the observer's thinking, and wanted to let the observer drive the boat into the gray fog. Fortunately, the observer had taken a drug that could make the mind extremely clear The drug for extreme emotional excitement, this drug helped him resist the bewitching ravings, and only then allowed him to return to the shore safely.

Through the contents of the gray fog monsters recorded in these books, even if Leo did not enter the gray fog, he still has a detailed understanding of the types of monsters in the gray fog, which can help Leo make some corresponding preparations in advance.

However, the most interesting information to Leo in these books is the formula of the medicine used to make the mind extremely clear, to make the mood extremely excited, and to resist the monster's raving, because this medicine is a formula of an extraordinary medicine, and What's more interesting is that apart from the different replacement materials, the formulation principle and refining method of this formula are all derived from Leo's own wizard sober potion formula.

Judging from the close connection between the world of Vinylon and this world, it is not difficult to understand why his self-created wizard sober potion formula appeared in this world. After all, even the Queen Sydney is in the shape of a ghost ship. The state appeared in this world, but the problem is that he created this potion after he left the world of Velen. The fundamental effect is more for psykers than ordinary people. As for the books left in the world of Velen, there is no record of the formula of this potion.

In addition, the only people who know how to make this potion are him, Sylvia, and Petunia. Because of Petunia's own abilities, when he created this potion, he took into account the methods that ordinary people can use to make it. Refining this extraordinary potion.

Today, this medicine appeared in this world more than a hundred years ago, and the formula of this medicine has been improved locally, and almost all the materials have been replaced with local materials with similar effects, which undoubtedly shows that The person who improved this medicine formula not only has extremely superb pharmaceutical ability, but also has an extremely proficient understanding of this formula, at least not much worse than Leo.

When Leo saw this, he couldn't help being curious about the reason why this potion appeared in this world, but unfortunately the book contained too little content, only the formula of that potion was recorded, and the formula was recorded in the form of It was handwritten in the cracks of the book, which should have been left by the previous owner of this set of ghost ships in the gray mist. If you want to investigate further, you may need to learn about the previous owner of the book from Bernando.

While Leo was immersed in the vast amount of knowledge and information contained in Bernando's collection, a group of newcomers had settled in the temporary camp outside, but this group of newcomers did not come from Matou Bay, but were sent by the Natural Association. Those who came to support the pioneering group.

Compared with the people recruited by the Pioneering Group in Matou Bay, it is obvious that the new arrivals of more than 300 people are veterans in the New World. They not only have rich jungle survival experience, but also have a lot of experience in dealing with indigenous tribes. Practical proposals, such as when they came to the temporary camp, they immediately pointed out the defensive loopholes in the camp, and said that once an indigenous tribe attacked, the existing fortifications of the temporary camp could not resist the attack of the indigenous tribes.

Bernando is also very clear that these proposals are very practical. In fact, he himself is also very aware of the shortcomings of the temporary camp, but he was only thinking that this camp is only temporary and there is no need to build it so well. In addition, he still has a lot of things to do. Dealing with it, temporarily put aside the fortification of the camp.

Now that the problem has been pointed out, he will naturally not let it exist, because just half a day ago he has received news that a coalition army composed of several indigenous tribes is attacking Matou Bay.

Although it seems that those people are targeting Matou Bay, no one can be sure that those people will not send some people to attack the pioneer group. If the natives who attacked the pioneer group last time attacked the pioneer group again, the consequences would be disastrous , so he handed over the defense of the temporary camp to these more experienced people.

In addition, the reason why he decided to strengthen the fortifications of the temporary camp was because he had changed his development plan and decided to use this temporary camp as the center of his development plan.

Because he felt that although the relationship between him and the pioneering camp of the Governor of Matou Bay not far away was not very good, the distance between the two was so close after all. Once encountered an attack by an indigenous tribe, the camp there could more or less help. , This is much better than building a camp alone in the depths of the jungle.

Although the people hired by the Nature Association have greatly supplemented the most scarce combat power of the pioneering group, but at the same time weakened Bernando's control over the pioneering group to a certain extent, but Bernando has already prepared for this and will They didn't show any dissatisfaction, but the rest of the pioneering group felt somewhat strange. This was mainly because these people hired by the Nature Association made the security in the camp a bit uneasy, and the number of fights increased exponentially. Obviously, in the development camp without any entertainment, everyone's energy has no way to vent.

Not long ago, Leo's camp was destroyed by a group of people fighting, and Leo, who lost his residence, was temporarily arranged to live in other people's tents for two days. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. Leo was arranged to live in the camp where Joe lived.

"What a coincidence!" After understanding the situation, Joe smiled and said.

Leo asked back, "Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Let's take it as a coincidence!" Qiao said something, but he didn't continue, and asked instead: "You and Bernando have reached a cooperation agreement."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Joe asked, "What about the cooperation we talked about earlier?"

"It's not a conflict, is it?" Leo smiled and said, "And you've found quite a few collaborators during this time!"

Joe smiled awkwardly.

Although he can't use release-type extraordinary abilities such as the spirit net, Leo's supernatural five senses can still help him understand the situation in the camp. During this time, Joe kept walking among the scholars in the camp, even though his reputation is not very good. However, relying on his eloquence and the identity certificate given by the Nature Association, he still attracted many scholars and advisors from Bernando. In some respects, he should belong to the third force in this pioneering group, but this force is temporarily still There is no use.

In addition, judging from various circumstances, the relationship between Joe and the Nature Society does not seem to be as close as he himself said. At least the members of the Nature Society who were responsible for leading the hundreds of supporters did not regard Joe as their colleague, but instead He is very contemptuous of Joe in terms of language, but this kind of contempt is only when he is with Joe. When he is in public, he shows great respect for Joe.

Leo suddenly said, "I have something I want to ask you, or you can ask other scholars in the camp for me."

"What's the problem?" Joe wondered.

Leo took out the wizard sober potion formula that he copied and handed it to Joe, and asked, "Do you know the origin of this potion formula?"
