The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The three people who met Alban were the three Leo who crossed the lower Black Forest. Although they don't know exactly where they are now, after seeing Alban, they have been able to deduce that their current location should be within the area on the west side of the Lower Black Forest, which is about 100 meters away from the western edge of the Black Forest. It shouldn't be too far away.

From the time they entered the Black Forest on the east side to the time they were about to leave the Black Forest on the west side, it took only about a day and a half, which was much less than expected.

The reason for this is that apart from the fact that Leo can always find the most correct and easiest path in the dark forest, there is also the fact that after they encountered the dense fog, they did not encounter any danger in the forest for the rest of the time , Not even a beast that could threaten them appeared in the country.

The smoothness of the journey along the way made Nelson wonder if the place he was in was the Black Forest where he was still talking about it.

If it's just walking smoothly, it's not worth Nelson and Jason's fuss. What makes them both feel incredible is that Leo's luck is so unbelievably good.

While walking on the road, Leo kicked away a rotten tree root. As a result, there was a purple crown flower that Nelson promised his teacher to pick under the root, and this purple crown flower was only recorded in the myth transmission. of seven petals.

According to Nelson, the environment under the roots of the rotten tree is not suitable for the growth of the purple crown flower. It is almost a miracle that the purple crown flower can grow to seven petals, which also makes him doubt the roots of the purple crown flower. Mulch may have something peculiar about it. So when he dug out the purple crown flower, he also took a lot of mulch from the surrounding environment, looking for an opportunity to study it.

It would be fine if there was only miraculous good luck this time, and then there would be situations one after another. Every time without exception, Leo moved or removed an obstacle, and then he could see some extremely dangerous things hidden behind the obstacle. Precious Black Forest property.

These properties include mature herbs, precious tree species, rare animal bones, etc. The accumulated value of these things has reached at least more than 300,000 gold shields. Such a huge income, even the best Black Forest hunter team has never achieved.

It's just that these things are much less valuable than the two pieces of gold-eating beast excrement found now. Including Leo, they have no doubt that if they continue to stay in the Black Forest for a day or two, the cumulative value of their specialties will definitely exceed one million gold shields.

As far as the Duke of Buckingham of the Kingdom of England is known as the Duke of the Sea, the Platinum Chamber of Commerce controlled by him is the largest chamber of commerce in the world. The caravans and fleets of the Chamber of Commerce control nearly one-third of the freight trade on the three continents. And the profit he can make a year is just close to one million gold shields.

Now the three of them have the opportunity to harvest one million gold shields worth of Black Forest specialties within a few days. I am afraid no one will believe such a thing.

"What do we do now?" Jason asked suddenly.

Although Jason's question was vague, the other two were able to understand what he meant.

In the face of huge benefits, even Nelson, who doesn't value money very much, couldn't help hesitating. He put the gold-eating beast feces in his hand into Leo's backpack, and asked tentatively: "How about it? Shall we stay for two more days?"

Leo was silent for a moment, and made a decisive decision: "No! Let's go immediately and leave the Black Forest as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, the two companions were not allowed to raise objections, so they directly put on the backpack and put the petrified kidney that was taken out of the red-spotted leopard just now into the small pouch around the neck, together with the black heart of the monster and other similar Objects are put together.

Seeing that Leo had made a decision so quickly and decisively, Jason and Nelson were both taken aback, then glanced at each other, picked up their things and followed closely without saying anything.

Leo, who was walking in front, looked very serious, and there was a trace of fear and worry in his eyes. He was not worried about any danger he would encounter on the way down, but worried about his good luck.

In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now. It's not that he didn't know where his good luck came from. In fact, he could vaguely guess that his good luck should come from that golden giant deer. Just like the golden giant deer has improved his personal data such as will and physique, it also bestowed him with some good luck, and these good luck made him unimpeded in the forest and gained countless harvests.

However, as a biological weapon known for its rationality, Leo would never believe in such a good thing, if there is a harvest, there must be a sacrifice, and the greater the harvest, the greater the sacrifice, and it is this idea that makes him feel If he continues to stay in the Black Forest, perhaps he will need to make a huge payment for the harvest of more than 500,000 gold shields.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help speeding up his pace, and when Jason and Nelson couldn't keep up, he took the backpack from them, put it on his back, and continued on his way. Because of the basic physique five times that of ordinary people, even with three backpacks on Leo's body, his steps are still not slow.

Nelson and Jason didn't know why Leo was in such a hurry, but they could feel that Leo was very nervous and anxious at the moment, which also affected them, making them break away from the joy of the huge harvest just now, concentrate on Concentrating on the journey, even though he felt a little exhausted physically, he didn't ask for a rest.

With the three of them rushing on the road, it took them less than half an hour to get there, which would have taken more than an hour.

The sunlight coming in through the gaps in the tree wall in front of them can also be clearly seen. Even without Leo leading the way, Nelson and Jason have no possibility of getting lost.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the black forest, Leo's spiritual perception talent suddenly produced an extreme sense of crisis, which made him feel as if the world was about to collapse, and made the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Damn it!" He felt that according to the current situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave the Black Forest before the danger corresponding to the sense of crisis appeared.

For this reason, he threw the two backpacks on the ground without hesitation, leaving only Nelson's backpack containing letters, purple crown flowers and some rare herbs, and then stretched out his hands to grab Jason and Nelson, and activated The combat module that perfectly controls the skills, with the speed and flexibility that ordinary people cannot do, quickly walks through the branches, vines, roots and bushes of the Black Forest. bell.

Nelson and Jason, who were grabbed by him, didn't understand what was going on at all. They only felt like they were being pulled by a train, and they could only float in the wind like a piece of dry grass, watching the surrounding trees flash by quickly , unable to make any resistance movements.

When Nelson and Jason felt the drag force of the arm disappear, their feet stepped on the solid ground, and the surroundings were no longer a black forest that was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, but a stretch of wheat that could not be seen. land.

Although Nelson and Jason had only been in the Black Forest for less than two days, it seemed to them that they had been there for two years. The long-lost sky can be seen looking up. Even though the sky is covered with dark clouds at this moment, there will be storms falling at any time, but compared with the dark environment of the Black Forest, the scenery now is enough to make the two feel comfortable and happy.

When the two looked up at the sky, Leo sat on the ground, adjusted his breathing, checked the personal data interface, and checked his current status.

The extreme activation of the perfectly controlled combat module just now not only consumes his spiritual energy, but also consumes a lot of his body, so that the moment he stopped, his body felt extremely sore, as if It's like fighting all day long.

After checking, fortunately, the daily value of will stayed at two points, which made Leo feel relieved a little, and also decided to find time for the sub-brain system to set a will warning line. Automatically stops all psionic abilities that negatively affect willpower.

After that, he checked other personal data items. Although the daily value of each item has declined, the basic value has remained intact. The surprise is that the basic value of agility may have increased due to the breakthrough speed just now. It's 0.5.

At this moment, Nelson and Jason recovered from the view of the sky. Only then did they remember what Leo had done when he dropped his backpack just now. When they were about to ask Leo why, their eyes fell on the tree wall of the Black Forest involuntarily. superior.

"Leo! Look!" Jason pointed to the Black Forest, and said to Leo who was still checking the personal data interface.

Hearing this, Leo looked towards the Black Forest and was also shocked by the sight in front of him.

I saw that the Black Forest, which was normal a moment ago, was completely covered by dense fog. The dense fog not only covered the Black Forest, but also connected with the clouds in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a sea of ​​clouds in the sky. Falling down like a waterfall.

People in the surrounding villages and towns of the Black Forest have long been used to such a spectacular sight, and they will not have any overly excited emotions, but it is enough for Leo and the others who saw such a beautiful scene for the first time Shocked them.

"It's a good thing you dragged us out, otherwise..." After being shocked, Jason looked at Leo with some lingering fear.

Nelson also asked curiously at this time: "Did you know in advance that the dense fog was about to appear?"

Leo didn't answer, but stared at the dense fog intently, as if there were other scenes hidden in the clear fog.

Although, Leo didn't see it with his own eyes, but he could clearly feel that there seemed to be something watching him in the dense fog, and that thing was using some method to create a sound that only he could hear in his ear.

That sound was like the cry of some kind of beast, it was also like the roar of thunder and lightning in the sky, and it was more like some unknown language. All in all, when he heard this sound, he would involuntarily have an impulse, a The urge to return to the fog-covered Black Forest.

Leo is very clear that if he activates his spiritual vision, he will definitely be able to see what is in the thick fog, but he is also very sure that once he can see clearly what is in the thick fog, it will be like seeing a golden giant deer As a result of the rapid drop in willpower, it may be difficult to predict what will happen to him at that time.

Resisting the urge to turn on the spirit vision, enduring the whispers in his ear, Leo quietly looked at the thick fog, not daring to move his body.

I don't know how long it took, but Leo felt the pressure on his body disappear suddenly. Along with the pressure, there was an indescribable bodily sensation, as if something was missing.

At this moment, the thing that was staring at him in the thick fog had also withdrawn its sight, and it stopped making noises in his ears, and disappeared into the thick fog.

Only then did he let out a long breath of foul air, his tense spirit relaxed, and he lay on the ground without any image.

"How long have I been in a daze?" Leo asked his two companions who were watching him with nervous concern.

"Not long, about ten minutes." Nelson took out his pocket watch, checked it, and reported the time.

"Just now Nelson said it's best not to touch you casually," Jason asked with concern, "How are you doing now?"

Leo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Nelson next to him couldn't help being curious and asked, "What did you see just now?"

"Nothing." Leo said truthfully.

But it was obvious that Nelson didn't believe it, so he didn't continue to ask.

"How much do we have left?" Jason asked suddenly at this moment.

"This is the doctor's backpack." Leo untied the backpack on his body and put it on the ground.

"Damn it, how could it be the doctor's backpack? There is nothing valuable in the doctor's backpack." Jason muttered as he knelt on the ground, opened the backpack, and took out the contents one by one.

I saw the most herbs in the backpack, and the herbs carefully wrapped in cloth were neatly placed on the ground. Although some herbs were damaged due to the violent action just now, the roots of the herbs were intact, and their value was not worth it. Too much damage.

In addition, there is a special container containing the purple crown flower. This container is made of special metal and is very strong without any damage.

The last item was a complete set of animal bones. Nelson didn't know what kind of beast this animal bone was, but he was certain that there was no such beast in the animal atlases published in various countries.

"That's all that's left!" Jason said, looking at all kinds of items in front of him with a dejected expression.

"It's not bad." Nelson pointed to the herbs and said, "These herbs are very precious, and the root system is well preserved. If they are bought to the medical school, they will be worth at least seven thousand gold shields." He paused and hesitated After a moment, he looked at Jason and Leo with a puzzled expression, and said, "However, I hope you can let me donate these herbs to the medical school."

Jason yelled in surprise, "What? It's worth seven thousand..."

"Yes." Before Jason finished speaking, Leo made a decision, but at the same time added: "The animal bones should only cost a lot of money, so I will compensate you!"

"Forget it! If the animal bones are sold, let's split them equally! Anyway, it's free money, and it's not too little, at least I haven't seen so much money before." Jason shook his head, a little unwilling, but he didn't After thinking about it, after getting along these few days, Nelson has already been regarded as his recognized friend, so naturally he won't care so much about money.
