The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Miriya City, the most dazzling pearl in the world of Vilen, a great city known as the center of the world, is also vulnerable in the face of war. After this bustling city has experienced the war, all that is left is a ruined wall.

When the French Empire made a strategy to attack West France, it obviously did not consider how to preserve the great city of Miriya City. In the eyes of the French Emperor Louis X, Miriya City should be completely destroyed The city of rebellion, whether it is the Continental Congress, or the temples and churches of various religions, or the parliament building of the United Kingdom, must be completely destroyed.

Therefore, when the army of the Farland Empire entered the outskirts of Miriya City, the French army directly dispatched ten airships loaded with special bombs to completely destroy the great city of Miriya City with bombs from the air. The Crystal Palace Station, which was once like a jewel, the once magnificent religious hall, the Continental Parliament Building, which was once regarded as a symbol of a new civilization, and so on, all buildings have been destroyed by countless bombs and turned into ruins.

Compared with these urban buildings that represent the splendor of Miria City, the various civilian areas located in the fringe area of ​​Miria City survived the war with few casualties, which also made it impossible for the French Empire troops to enter Miria City. When they were in Lia City, these civilians had very weak sense of resistance, and many even wanted to become members of the French Empire again.

Although the French Empire's army recruited a large number of Miriam from civilian areas, especially the slums like the Yushi District, and incorporated them into the standing army, the Faran Empire did not carry out substantial operations on the city of Miriam. Control, and did not even send officials to Miria City or establish administrative agencies such as the Governor's Mansion.

The French Empire only let a division in its own army lead the newly recruited Miria to control the villages and urban areas around the Miria City Railway to ensure the smooth transfer of supplies and troops from the north to the south. As for the rest of the city, there was no management means.

For a while, gangsters, careerists, spies, and some unknown dark creatures began to enter this area where many people still live, but there is no order, turning the once glorious city of Miria into a lawless place. .

When Leo passed through layers of checkpoints and entered the urban area of ​​Miria with the imitated passport of Sylvia's men, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the ruins in front of him.

In the war in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, it is the fleet battle in outer space that determines the outcome of the war. It is rare to directly use the Star Destroyer to bombard the ground city. Most of them are dispatched after the space station wins. The special operations team went down to the ground, annihilated the enemy's command personnel, paralyzed the enemy's command post, and allowed the enemy on the ground to surrender. Only when encountering that kind of extremely stubborn enemy will they use ground artillery to attack, but that is also a high-precision bombardment, the target error is not more than one meter, and it will not cause too much damage to the city.

The Crescent Moon Lake area where Leo is now was originally just a villa area on the outskirts of Miria City, only because the people living here are the dignitaries of Miria City, so apart from the center of Miria City, this place is an airship Areas where bombs focus on.

There is no complete building around the entire lake area, and there are not even intact trees. The ground is full of potholes left by bombs. The floating soil covers the entire land, and it feels like it has been plowed by someone.

Leo originally planned to go directly to Miria City, but after arriving at the Crescent Moon Lake area, he thought of No. 9 Golden Oak Street and Silver Moon Tower, so he decided to take a detour here to take a look.

Although the appearance of the Lake District has been completely changed due to the war, No. 9 Golden Oak Street is still the most recognizable of all the ruins in the Lake District, because only this building was destroyed by the fire, and the other buildings were all destroyed by bombs.

As Sylvia said, the power contained in No. 9 Golden Oak Street has completely disappeared. Standing here, he can't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations, but for some reason he always feels that the power that can travel through the dream world It is impossible for the power to disappear completely like this.

So, he walked into No. 9 Golden Oak Street, which had been reduced to the point where only a few ruins remained.

Although the villa has been destroyed by fire, because the main walls of the villa are all collected granite, the room layout and other structures of the building can still be judged from the positions of these remaining walls.

Soon Leo walked to the familiar corridor, came to the place where the family portrait should be placed, and looked at the charred black wall.

"There is no psychic energy fluctuation, but..." Leo stared at the wall in front of him, muttering to himself, rolled up his sleeves after him, looked at the pattern formed by the dream body on his body, and felt the pattern in the pattern. The faint resonance produced by the hidden nightmare power.

After returning to the world of Velen, Leo's soul and body have undergone tremendous changes, and the dream body that is also linked to the body and soul has also undergone changes. The most intuitive change is the dream body that was originally only on the body The pattern has now spread to the whole body.

The change of the dream body is not harmful for the time being, at least from now on, it is easier for him to use the power of nightmare, and it does not need to devour any high-energy matter, the power of the dream body itself can also make The power of nightmare can slowly grow over time.

And now, at this moment standing in front of this wall, Leo felt that his nightmare power was growing rapidly while resonating inexplicably. If converted according to the value, it would take less than a minute to stand here In just a few minutes, his nightmare power increased by at least fifty points.

Leo could only feel that the wall was a bit unusual through the power of nightmares, but he couldn't feel any spiritual fluctuations from it. Therefore, he used the resonance between the same source of power as a detector, put his hand on the wall, and felt it carefully to see which position had the strongest resonance.

Soon he found the desired position, which happened to be in the middle of the family portrait, and at this moment he suddenly felt something extra out of thin air between his palm and the wall, so he stopped Looking at it, I found that there was an extra piece of black paper on the palm of my hand.

Seeing this black paper, a guess immediately appeared in Leo's mind, the page of Ye Shen's sigh.

However, before Leo could carefully examine the details of the black paper, the black paper turned into ashes as if it had been burned, and then stuck to the pattern of the dream body on his body.

At this time, there seemed to be something more in Leo's mind. These things included the dream body, the use method of the power of nightmare, and some chaotic and disorderly information, and he could even vaguely feel the position of the dream world. It's like he sensed the position of the Silver Moon Tower through the beacon ball.

Because there is no sub-brain to isolate and organize the data poured into the brain, Leo felt a severe headache that he had never experienced before, and the pain was so painful that he had to hold on to the wall to stand still.

It took a while for Leo to recover from the headache, but the sequelae of the headache still made him dizzy. However, this dizziness is still within his tolerable range, and it will not affect his ability to sort out external information in his brain.

Because there was no help from the sub-brain system, Leo's time to sort out the information was much slower. It took him more than two hours to completely organize the information.

Among the materials that are injected into the brain, the ones with the clearest content are the least useful, such as how to use the body of dreams and the power of nightmares. The usage methods recorded in the materials are not much better than the methods Leo figured out by himself Going, it can only provide him with a little reference value and new ideas of use, and it will not bring him any substantial benefits.

As for the chaotic and disorderly content, it is like computer gibberish, making it impossible for people to understand what it is talking about.

The only thing of value is the orientation of the dream world, but there is no way to enter it, and it cannot bring any practical benefits for the time being.

Although the knowledge from the black pages can't bring Leo anything useful, the black pages integrated into the dream body have given Leo some extraordinary value, for example, his nightmare power has increased several times in an instant , and the basic value of daily nightmare power enhancement is also doubled.

This rapidly increasing nightmare power has surpassed Leo's psionic power, which brought him an extraordinary feeling, and it also made him want to give up psionic power and focus on the power of nightmare.

However, this idea just flashed through Leo's mind, and he didn't take it seriously, because he knew very well that no matter how powerful the power of nightmare is, it is also an external force, and no matter how weak the spiritual power is, it is still his own. Power, once it evolves to a higher level of life mode, then the psionic energy, which is the basic power of the universe, will definitely shine. Compared with the power of nightmare, it will only be stronger but not weaker.

After obtaining the pages of the Night God's Sigh that remained there from No. 9 on Golden Oak Street, Leo also looked forward to what Silver Moon Tower would gain, but it was a pity that expectations were often to the left of reality. Silver Moon Tower he could say nothing.

It is well-known that King Louis X of France hated the city of Miria very much, and if Louis X were to choose a person he hated the most among the people in the city of Miria, it would not be the United Kingdom now. The Prime Minister's Rupert Fitz must go.

As the core confidant of Louis X and the real manager of West France, Rupert Fitz's betrayal can be said to be the root cause of Louis X's loss of the entire West France in one day. The main reason why the kingdom can be successfully established and recognized by all countries in the world.

For a long time, Louis X's reward for Rupert Fitz has remained high. From the first time he offered a reward of 5 million gold flanges, the bounty has now increased to 10 million gold flanges and the title of duke. The sky-high reward has already made Rupert Fitz the person with the highest reward in the entire Velen world.

It's a pity that although the reward is high, no one can complete the task. Even the well-known black market bounty hunter received the task in the first step, and someone reported all the information of the person who took the task to Rupert in the second step. Fitz.

And although Louis X set the bounty so high, anyone with a little brain knows that even if he completes the task, Louis X may not be able to pay the bounty.

Because when Louis X was the Duke of Devin, Rupert Fitz alone supported all his expenses, and even the economy in his territory was dominated by Rupert.

Although when Rupert Fitz rebelled, there was still a thread left, which did not damage the economy in Louis X's territory, and Louis X also inherited the throne at that time, and had enough resources to support Rupert Fitz's betrayal After that, the mess left behind.

But maintaining the status quo is already the limit of Louis X. He cannot get any benefits from his own territory, and the money he has on hand needs to be invested in the army to equip the army with better equipment and buy better weapons. Wait, there is no money left.

If this time, he hadn't used some method to allow the army to successfully pass through the Black Forest during the foggy period and successfully attacked the Miria region, the economy of the Faran Empire would have collapsed because of his militarism over the years.

Therefore, the reward and promise made by Louis X is just a joke in the eyes of those who have the ability to complete the assassination. No one would be willing to offend Rupert Fitz for a bounty that may not be obtained. Power, money, big figures with considerable influence in the light and dark world.

Louis X also knew that his bounty could not deal with Rupert Fitz, so when he attacked the Miria area this time, he specifically ordered that when attacking Miria city, he should send an airship to attack Rupert Fitz. The most likely place where Burt Fitz was hiding, and the famous Silvermoon Manor was naturally among them, and it was the place where the bombing was the most severe.

All the buildings on the ground that were visible to the naked eye in the manor were blown up, and dense explosion craters were densely packed in every place in this area. The number of bombs dropped here was more than the sum of the bombed numbers of other villas around the Moon Lake area. .

It's a pity that Rupert Fitz was smarter than Louis X expected. When he got the French army to pass through the Black Forest, he had a premonition that the French region could not be defended, so he left a small number of people responsible for breaking the rear and After sorting out the subordinates of the supplies, he moved all the government agencies of the entire United Kingdom to his headquarters, Lanxi.

Therefore, after wasting a lot of money and ammunition, Louis X finally just blew up some irrelevant buildings in the eyes of Rupert Fitz.

Seeing the Silver Moon Manor blown up like this, Leo, who became emotionally rich, couldn't help sighing, but this emotion quickly disappeared. In order to avoid mistakes, Leo carefully walked back and forth in the manor area Walked around, using the spirit net to check if there is a basement or other space underground.

Although, in the process of searching, he did find several basements, especially a very large basement in the area where the Silver Moon Tower is located, but the things there have been emptied, and it is not known whether it was taken by Lu. Burt Fitz sent someone to evacuate it, and it was still evacuated by the scavengers in Miria City.
