The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't stay in Miria City for a very long time, and he didn't know many people. Most of them were just met once, and they didn't even talk to each other. Leo made a strong impression, such as Sister Hannah of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, or the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman who appeared in front of Leo now.

The reason why Leo left a deep impression on the blood wizard is not only the strength of the blood wizard itself, but also the past experience of the blood wizard is also the main reason why Leo is interested.

Although the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman has done many things that can be regarded as inhumane, but in medicine, especially hematology, he can be called the pioneer in the world of Velen.

Because of the hostile relationship with Rupert Fitz at the time, Leo was naturally very concerned about the blood wizard who personally protected Rupert. He found a lot of information about the blood wizard through the old man Rembrandt. These materials Many of them are papers published by the blood wizard in the medical school in his early years.

From the content recorded in those papers, it is not difficult for Leo to see that Lawrence Hillman, who had not yet become a wizard at that time, was able to complete various blood experiments in those crude experimental environments, and through various arguments, deduce the The gene exists, and the scientific name of a blood factor is given to the gene.

It's a pity that his behavior was too deviant and too advanced, so that the doctors of the medical school here regarded blood research as a taboo, and when he was kicked out of the medical school, all relevant documents were either sealed up, or destroy.

Although Leo was not born as a medical student, when he was in the Earth Federation, the deputy brain also recorded a lot of simple field medical manuals and other materials. From the comparison of the medical history recorded in these materials, Leo said without exaggeration that if the blood wizard did not have an accident, the medical school and other countries supported his blood research, and now he may have discovered medical mysteries such as blood types. Even because of this, various related medical technologies have been developed, such as the blood transfusion technology that Leo was mistaken for blood therapy and so on.

Although Leo has information about the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman, he has never actually met this person. He only vaguely deduced it by feeling his spiritual power when he was in Silvermoon Castle. His strength.

At that time, Leo roughly compared the strengths of the two, and judged that if he confronted the blood wizard head-on, even if he couldn't win, he could still get out of the way.

However, now standing in front of the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman and feeling the impressive wave of spiritual energy again, Leo realized that his original judgment was a bit wrong, because he found that the body of the blood wizard Lawrence Hillman The strength of his spiritual energy is that of a real fourth-level psyker, and the most peculiar thing is that the opponent's spiritual energy wave has a very obvious shape, and he can even feel the color.

In the Vinylon world, Leo had felt the psionic waves emanating from many people, and he felt even more psionic waves in the dream world. However, all psionic energy waves can barely feel the general shape like a magnetic field, but this feeling cannot be expressed concretely, let alone other details similar to real senses.

But now, when Leo felt the psychic wave emanating from Lawrence Hillman, all the information was fed back into his mind and instantly formed a specific shape. This shape was a drop of blood so bright red that it made people tremble.

When Leo looked at the blood wizard, the blood wizard was also observing Leo, and was also shocked by Leo's strength and experience.

The blood wizard had never met Leo, and didn't even know of Leo until his fellow wizards died. The reason why he later investigated Leo's information was mainly because at the moment of his colleague's death, he projected the person who killed him into the Silver Moon Tower in the form of an illusion, which made him curious about Leo. .

Afterwards, after some investigation, the blood wizard found that his boss's various layouts almost fell short, and the dangers he encountered were all because of Leo, and he was also very interested in Leo's ability.

However, because Leo entered No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and No. 9 Golden Oak Street was suddenly burned down, just like Sylvia, the blood wizard also didn't think anyone could come out from there, so he didn't confront Lei Europe voted to pay attention.

However, not long ago, the blood wizard's subordinates handed over some lone scavenger information according to the usual practice, and focused on putting the information of Leo, a strange lone traveler, at the top. Wake up.

And he was extremely curious about Leo himself and his experiences over the years. This kind of curiosity made him impatient to wait any longer. Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he still made the decision to meet Leo in person. .

Now, the blood wizard saw Leo with his own eyes, and the most intuitive feeling is only two words, one is very strong, and the second is a high-ranking wizard.

When investigating Leo before, all the information obtained by the blood wizard showed that although Leo had some witchcraft-like means, he acted more like a warrior. The night watchman transformed by the god cell, or some unknown family member, because this ability and way of doing things are very similar to those of the two organizations of the night watchman and the family member.

But now, seeing Leo at close range, the blood wizard realized that his judgment was wrong. The man in front of him was clearly a wizard, and the mana aura on his body was not weaker than him at all, which meant that the opponent's strength was at least as strong as Leo's. The high-ranking wizards at the top of the wizarding coven are unanimous.

Because when investigating Leo, Leo's life was naturally written in detail in the data. The blood wizard knew that Leo was only about 30 years old, and from the data, when Leo was in the Kingdom of England, he was still an ordinary People, did not change until they participated in the war against the French Empire. In other words, Leo has been exposed to witchcraft for at most four or five years, which means that Leo has the strength of a high-ranking wizard in less than ten years.

Lawrence Hillman, who is a high-level wizard, knows how difficult it is for an ordinary wizard to become a high-level wizard. Not only does he need profound knowledge of witchcraft, but he also needs to undergo an essential transformation of his wizard's mana. The reason why he was able to become a high-ranking wizard was because Rupert spent a lot of manpower, material resources and time to help him find a wizard's wonder made by a tower wizard that can transform mana, and without such a back-up support, Leo just It is obviously unreasonable to become a high-ranking wizard in a few years.

"Nine Golden Oak Street!" A guess could not help but emerge in the blood wizard's mind at this moment. In his opinion, Leo's ability to make such a big change and improve his strength should have something to do with the mysterious place inside No. 9 Golden Oak Street, which also made him wonder about No. I am more curious and interested in the mysteries hidden in it.

"Have we met before? Your Excellency Leo seems to know me." Lawrence Hillman suppressed the curiosity surging in his heart, and asked Leo pretending to be calm.

Leo shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but there was a small confrontation, it was at the ball in Silvermoon Castle that year."

The blood wizard recalled a little bit, and soon thought of the little confrontation Leo mentioned, and at the same time, he became more and more sure of his guess, because he remembered that the mana breath he came into contact with was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary wizards. Stronger, definitely not up to the level of a high-ranking wizard.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the small garden. The Blood Wizard frowned and invited, "This is not a place to talk. I wonder if Your Excellency Leo can move to my residence."

"Okay." Leo nodded.

Hearing Leo's words, Lawrence Hillman immediately turned around and led Leo into a simple refugee camp not far away. After passing through the camp, he entered an unorganized ruined alley and walked through Passed through a ruin, passed a gang station on the edge of the ruins, entered a refugee city, and finally entered a big tent in the city.

During this journey, Leo has never spoken, but he has been using the spirit net to observe the surrounding situation, even without any cover, the blood wizard leading the way in front of him can clearly know what he is doing.

Although the route chosen by the blood wizard seems to be choosing a short-term decision, in fact, Leo can find that there are many people with obvious spiritual energy fluctuations on this road, and the spiritual power of these people The ability to fluctuate is exactly the same as the psionic energy on the blood wizard.

This made Leo think of a forbidden witchcraft mentioned in the Dream World Wizards Association. This kind of witchcraft is called blood seeding, which is to give an ordinary person the ability to use spiritual energy through the blood containing the original source of spiritual energy. .

If it is just to give ordinary people the ability to use psionic energy, this witchcraft cannot be called taboo. What really makes this witchcraft taboo is that some wizards planted this kind of psionic blood until they have wizard qualifications, but Ordinary people without enlightenment, and then guide that person to practice witchcraft. When that person's witchcraft reaches a certain level, the person who planted the blood seed will take back the blood seed, and obtain all the wizard mana and wizard knowledge cultivated by that person, and the wizard who took away the blood seed will die directly.

There are very few people with wizard qualifications, and each one is extremely precious. Although this kind of psionic blood can make an ordinary wizard become a real great wizard in a short period of time, it will cause devastating damage to the entire structure of the wizard system. That's why the Wizards Association completely banned the witchcraft of this psychic blood species, and no one was allowed to read or practice it.

Although Leo had never seen the situation of the person who was planted with psychic blood, but compared with the situation described in the book of taboo witchcraft, it was very similar to what he saw now, especially the judging The standard for being planted with psychic blood is the same mana breath.

But the problem is that the blood-seeding technique in the dream world is a witchcraft created by the sixth chief of the Wizarding Association in the past, not an ancient witchcraft, so Leo wondered where Lawrence Hillman knew about this witchcraft. ?

If it is said that the blood wizard can create a similar blood-seeding technique through his own research on blood, it is not impossible, but the two kinds of witchcraft will be similar to this extent, and even the method of face recognition is the same, then This thing is a little unusual.

So, when the two entered the tent and Lawrence ordered his subordinates to stay away, Leo took the first step and asked the blood wizard first, "Your Excellency Hillman, are those all your subordinates?"

Although Leo's words were very vague and pointless, Lawrence Hillman, who already knew Leo's strength, knew very well that the witchcraft he had newly researched could not fool this high-ranking wizard, so he readily admitted: "It's me. They were just ordinary people. Through my witchcraft, they have some abilities, just like those guys with different god cells, but their strength is a little weaker," he said with a little satisfaction : "It's just that my witchcraft is much easier than the Ability God Cell, and the success rate is much higher."

"Is this your own witchcraft?" Leo asked again.

The clever blood wizard easily heard Leo's subtext, and asked back: "Your Excellency, have you seen this kind of witchcraft before?"

"No." Leo shook his head, changed the subject, and said, "But I've heard of witchcraft with similar effects."

Lawrence Hillman was stunned for a moment, and said with a little surprise: "Have you seen that book too?"

Leo faintly felt that the witchcraft of the blood wizard might have something to do with the blood-planting technique of the Dream World Wizard Association, so he said slightly suggestively: "If you mean the book that records the blood-planting technique, I should have read it, It's just that the content there is not very complete, it only mentions the general situation of this witchcraft."

"See if it's this book?" The blood wizard was surprised when he heard Leo's words, and immediately took out an old book that was often read from his satchel, and handed it to Leo.

The blood wizard does not have a small sub-space where he can store items like Leo. He can only use a backpack to load items like Leo used to, so the things in his backpack are definitely important to him.

Leo took the book and didn't read it. He just looked at the scribbled handwriting on the book, then returned the book to the blood wizard, and said, "So you have accepted the inheritance of this lord."

"Your Excellency Leo, do you know who the owner of this wizard's notebook is?" The blood wizard asked a little excitedly.

For Lawrence Hillman, there has always been a question that has plagued him, that is, who owns this wizard notebook that changed his life.

When he was an ordinary doctor tutor in the medical school, he accidentally obtained this wizard's notebook, and learned the magic of blood from it, and also understood the direction of his research, and finally had the current blood wizard.

However, even though he possessed the magical powers recorded in the notebook, mastered the magical witchcraft in it, and even created his own blood witchcraft, his confusion about this wizard's notebook has not diminished, on the contrary, it has become more curious. Because the way he obtained this notebook is too bizarre, even with his current understanding of the mysterious power, he can't explain this situation. After all, no one has ever turned something from a dream into a real item.
