The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What happened just now? Where are those web spinners?" Seeing Leo recover from that sluggish state, Su, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally couldn't help the strong curiosity in his heart, and asked impatiently.

"They have already left." Leo responded very simply.

Su knew very well that Leo hadn't told the truth, which made her very displeased. If she followed her previous personality, she might have taken Leo down now, and then used other means to dig out all of Leo's secrets.

But now she has more important things to do, a conflict with Leo will only affect her business, not to mention Leo's strength makes her a little unpredictable.

When she first met Leo, she was absolutely sure to take him down. But within a few days, she felt that she might have to pay some price to win Leo. But now, or just after the Web Weaver showed his true form and possessed Leo, she felt that it might be difficult for her to take down Leo, because she could no longer see through the opponent's strength.

Just like what she used to say to the sisters of the witch troupe, the only criterion for equal dialogue is one's own strength, the weak are not qualified for equal dialogue, and now this unknown wizard whose name she hasn't figured out already has Eligibility to talk to her on an equal footing.

Although she lost another chance to get the death secret from the Web Weaver, Su was used to it and didn't care too much about it. On the contrary, it was Leo's strength that made her realize that she had a powerful helper. It will at least double the success rate of that matter.

Thinking of this, Su couldn't help but start to think about how to draw Leo into what he was going to do. Although he had already paid for a book of incomplete notebooks of the tower battle wizard, what she was going to do was too dangerous. It was too crazy, even she herself didn't believe that the value of a mutilated wizard's notebook could be equal to it, so she began to consider other conditions that could be used as a transaction.

However, just when Su started to think about letting Leo really participate in his affairs instead of just using Leo as a bait, Leo suddenly took the initiative to ask: "Can you tell me why you care so much about this escape team?" The team? What is the matter you want me to assist? I hope to be prepared in advance, so as not to react when something happens suddenly, and it will miss your business instead."

Hearing that Leo took the initiative to participate in his affairs, Su was not happy, but rather suspicious. He looked at Leo with a slightly vigilant look, and asked, "Why? Why did you suddenly behave like this about my affairs? positive?"

Leo explained briefly, and said: "I want to know if your affairs overlap with those of the Web Weaver. Maybe I can help you complete what you want to do ahead of time." Then, he suddenly stepped out of the cave , Relying on the power of gluttony, resisting the invisible pressure around, while adapting to walking up the mountain path on the edge of the mountain wall, he said to Su: "The escape team has gone far, let's talk while walking!"

Su walked to the edge of the cave, and didn't go out immediately, but frowned, looking at Leo who was going away, hesitating whether he should follow. Although because of the witch's power, she couldn't feel the strong pressure brought by the power mentioned by Leo, but she would still be affected by that invisible force, making her witch power unable to be displayed in this environment.

However, even if she has lost her witch power, she still has physical strength and has years of accumulated combat experience, which is enough to deal with most dangers, but in the face of some supernatural forces that may appear, she who has lost her witch power can only be passively beaten , which made her, who was used to keeping herself in a favorable position all the time, feel an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

However, the negative emotions in his heart didn't affect Su for a long time. As Leo gradually moved away from his figure, Su finally let go of the uneasiness in his heart and walked out of the cave. However, while walking out of the cave, she also took out two daggers with mysterious runes and a special firearm from her Shadow Realm, and put them on her body, so that when something unexpected happened, she And the ability to fight back.

"Tell me first why the Web Weaver pays special attention to this fleeing team." Su quickly followed Leo's footsteps, even on a narrow mountain path, he would walk side by side with him, and then demanded.

Leo didn't hide anything, and happily told the truth why the Web Weaver paid attention to this fleeing team, but only slightly concealed some secrets about the Web Weaver, such as the web of souls.

After hearing this, Su's face became extremely serious, and he didn't immediately tell the reason why she paid attention to the fleeing team, but fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "You mean in the Faran Empire? Before crossing the Black Forest and attacking Miria City, there was an unknown existence in the Black Forest who started planning this escape team?"

"Not bad!" Leo nodded, and then asked, "Did you think of anything useful?"

"I did think of something," Su nodded, acknowledging Leo's guess, and then said, "You were right just now, the reason why the Weavers paid attention to this fleeing team partly overlaps with my purpose, so let me Provided quite a bit of useful information.”

"Can you say it?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"Of course it can be said that we should be regarded as collaborators now." Sensing Leo's sincerity, Su relaxed his vigilance a little and said, "My purpose is to capture the last Mist, the family member of the God of the Night."

Leo was about to wait for Su to say the following content, but found that Su had closed his mouth, so he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Is this the end?"

"Isn't that enough?" Su pretended to be in a daze, and asked back, but from the smile in her eyes, it wasn't hard to see that she was supposed to be revenge for those little setbacks she had suffered on Leo before.

Leo countered with a calm expression: "If you think what you are going to do is so random, I don't care, anyway, I am not the one who loses if I fail."

"What a boring guy!" It was obvious that Leo's counterattack was very effective. Su curled his lips and muttered something, then returned to the topic and asked, "How much do you know about the Black Forest?"

Leo thought for a while, and said: "I know that the Black Forest is a sanctuary. There are ancient gods, mythical creatures, and families of disappeared gods who have disappeared from the world. It should be some kind of restriction that prevents them from leaving the Black Forest. But This time, Emperor Louis X of the French Empire seems to have signed a contract with some things in the Black Forest, so that these things can leave the Black Forest and go to places like the Dibia Mountains to hunt the humans who broke in."

Su nodded as he listened, and said, "It's pretty good that you know so much, at least better than those idiots in the Orthodox Church. You're mistaken, the ancient gods are not restricted by the Black Forest. Because the Black Forest was created by the ancient gods, those lost families and mythical creatures who took refuge in the Black Forest signed a contract with the ancient gods, and while obtaining the protection of the Black Forest, they cannot leave the Black Forest."

"Lost family?" Leo suddenly heard a new term in the ancient Gamore language from Su.

Su carefully avoided a snow trap in front of the road, moved a little closer to the mountain wall, and then explained: "You should know that the family members are all created by gods, but when the god disappears, the family members of that god will lose They rely on them to become lost family members, and most of these family members will completely become some monsters without thoughts and only instincts due to out-of-control power, and a small number of them can barely maintain rationality and reproduce offspring..."

When she said this, Su stopped. She looked a little nervously at the abyss where she couldn't see the bottom. The arrogant character is parallel to Leo, but slightly behind Leo, stepping on the snow that Leo walked on, and continuing to move forward.

Regarding this, Leo didn't say anything. He could feel Su's fear and nervousness towards the abyss beside him, because he also felt the same way, but he had the will of a level nine psyker, so he could feel the inexplicable pressure from the depths of the abyss. It has an extremely strong resistance, not something Su can compare to. In fact, he really appreciates the way Su, a tall woman, handles things. Although she has an arrogant personality, she will not be swayed by her own arrogance. He knows when to let go of her arrogance and do the most correct thing, which is better than most of them. Everyone must be strong.

After adjusting his mentality and way of walking, Su refocused on the previously interrupted conversation, and continued: "The vast majority of the lost family members live in two places. One is the endless forest and wasteland in the south of the Mosang Continent. Among them, most of the lost family members living there are low-level family members. The other place is the Black Forest, and the high-level family members with the title of demigods in ancient times mostly chose to live in the Black Forest."

Leo asked, "Is your target, the family of the God of Darkness named Mist a demigod?"

"Yes, at least in the past." Su nodded, as if he didn't want to mention more things about Mister, and changed the subject slightly, saying: "I have known about Mister's existence a long time ago, I have been paying attention to his whereabouts all the time, but he is too cunning, no matter what method I use, I can't let him leave the Black Forest for half a step. However, not long ago, I felt that he actually left the Black Forest and entered Di Mia Mountains. I thought it was an illusion, so I asked a sister with astrology ability to calculate Mister’s whereabouts, and found that it was not an illusion, and I also knew that Mister’s goal was an army trying to cross Dibia The fleeing team from Miria City in the mountains."

When Su was speaking, the two had already turned a corner of the cliff, and at this time the fleeing team that disappeared from their field of vision before reappeared in front, because those people were not moving very fast, making them Also had to slow down.

Su raised his finger and pointed to the fleeing team looming in the clouds and mist in front of him, and said: "I have been in the Dibia Mountains for more than 20 days, and I have seen several fleeing teams like this trying to cross the Dibia Mountains. , Those teams either died under the attack of wild beasts in the deep mountains, or lost their way in the deep mountains, and froze to death. Only this team was targeted by those guys from the Black Forest shortly after they set off, so I doubt Mister's target It is this fleeing team, and the incident you mentioned just now makes me more sure that this fleeing team is the one I am looking for."

Su's words also reminded Leo of the reason why the Web Weaver paid attention to this fleeing team, so he asked a little curiously: "Do you know why Mister and the Black Forest family would plan such a fleeing team?"

"Of course I know." Su smiled disdainfully, and said: "They just want to multiply the race. Although the Black Forest has given them shelter, it cannot allow their race to multiply. Without the addition of fresh blood, they will not be able to survive one step at a time. They gradually degenerate into beast-like existences, so they need to capture people who can inherit their bloodlines to reproduce the race." She paused again, and said: "But Mister's purpose is a little different."

Su only mentioned something about the God of Darkness's family, Mist, and didn't continue, so he stopped.

Leo didn't continue to ask about this, because he felt that Mister's purpose might overlap with Su's purpose in some places, and it was inconvenient for Su to say it out.

Leo changed the subject and asked, "The person you want to deal with is Mister, so how can we lure him out?"

Su stared ahead, and said: "No need to lead, he should be in the fleeing team right now."

"In the escape team?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of something, and said: "He did those people who disappeared in the camp?"

"Yes." Su nodded.

Leo's footsteps became a little heavier, and his brows were slightly frowned. With rich combat experience, he knows that the enemy standing in the open is not to be feared as long as there is no insurmountable gap in strength, but the enemy hiding in the dark is extremely dangerous no matter how weak it is.

Now this enemy hiding in the dark not only has the mysterious ability to evade any search force, but his own strength may not be much worse than Su behind him. This kind of enemy is the most troublesome enemy, and it is also the least Leo. An enemy willing to face.

"No!" Just as Leo was thinking about how to assist Su in dealing with the last family member of the God of Darkness, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice, "No, if he was a family member, it would be impossible for him to walk into this In the mountains and abysses, otherwise, he will be like a web weaver, and the moment he enters here, he will be unable to move an inch."

Su also didn't expect that the mysterious power of this place would be so powerful, which also made her curious about this place, and an idea came to her mind, she must explore this place carefully if she has the chance, and it's best to find out the source of this power.

After his thoughts strayed a little bit, Su quickly adjusted his attention again, and explained: "Although Mist is the last family member of the God of Darkness, he is not strictly speaking a real family member. He is a shapeshifter."
