The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is there something wrong with this Turing root?" Dio Browno, who couldn't see psychic power at all, asked a little puzzled when he saw Leo staring at the Turing root on the table without blinking his eyes.

"No problem, I just didn't expect to be able to draw such a complete Turing radical." Leo concealed it a little, and expressed a little emotion.

At this moment, Leo already knew that he had mastered the root of Turing, and then he only needed to continue to accumulate along this line. Although the mastery of the root of Turing will not immediately enhance his strength, it has extraordinary significance for the avatar of the wizard. Because according to the vague level division of wizards, he can be said to have opened the door to the mystery of wizards at this moment, and stepped into the door. He can be regarded as an official tower wizard, and the wizards in the wizarding hall of Lawrence the blood wizard have already There are two categories, one for strength and the other for knowledge.

Although he has made great breakthroughs in wizarding and witchcraft, Leo's heart is very calm, so calm that even he himself feels a little unbelievable. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this kind of mentality was reasonable. After all, he had seen so many miraculous beings and felt so many powerful forces, and now this breakthrough in knowledge was not enough to shake him. His heart is gone.

"But this is just the beginning." Dio Browno didn't understand Leo's inner thoughts, but he said according to his own thoughts: "The Turing radical of the three basic radicals is only the most basic, even if this most basic thing It will take a long time for us to fully understand and master it. Think about the number of basic radicals known in Gamore language. The Turing radicals composed of these basic radicals are already extremely complex. The basic radicals of Turing," said here, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "I don't know if I can finish sorting out Turing's radicals before I die?"

Although Dio Browno's words sounded like he was lamenting that he was too old to complete the restoration and sorting of the Gamore language, but Leo could feel that the other party's words had other meanings, and seemed to be directed at him here.

Sure enough, Dio Bruno immediately asked Leo: "Now someone is funding me to go to the Mozambique continent to study the remains of ancient civilizations excavated there, mainly for the language, writing and culture of ancient civilizations. This project is very big, although The funder will arrange assistants, but those people may have a problem with their level, I need an assistant, you..."

"Sorry, teacher." Before Dior Browno finished speaking, Leo shook his head and rejected Dior Browno's proposal, but he didn't say anything, but said tactfully: "I'm going back to England now. I have lived in the Kingdom of Ge for a period of time to sort out the knowledge I have learned, so I can't be your assistant. However, I will definitely go to the Mosang Continent in the future, and if you still need an assistant..."

"Okay, I will keep this position for you." Dio Browno is a pure research scholar, he has no utilitarian thoughts, as long as he agrees with him and is helpful to his research, he will get his So he said: "Actually, you don't necessarily need to go to Mozambique mainland, you tell me your address, and I will send you the information after I come out. You help me Tidy up."

"I don't have a specific address in the Kingdom of England now, but I should live in Port of Sete, because I still have a few properties there." Leo said, found a pen and paper, and traded those properties to I wrote down the real estate address, handed it to Dior Browno, and said: "You can give me your address, I will write to you when I am settled, and you will know my definite address by then. "

"But I don't have a fixed address either?" Dior Browno frowned, then thought of a way and said, "You said just now that you would settle in Port of Dorset, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"This time the archaeological work in the Mozambique continent, the English Kingdom Humanities College of Set will also send people to participate. I will write you a letter of introduction and recommend you by the way. With your mastery of the Gamore language, you can be a Gamore There are more than enough researchers in the Morey language subject." Dio Browno said his method, saying: "You only need to work in the School of Humanities, and if I have materials that need to be sorted out, they can be mailed directly to the School of Humanities. .what do you think?"

"That's fine." Leo had been thinking about what to do when he returned to the Kingdom of England, but now Dio Browno's proposal just solved his problem.

Seeing that Leo agreed, Dior Browno took out a special letterhead from his package, quickly wrote a letter of introduction in very decent cursive characters, and then put it in the envelope , After sealing it, write the name of the recipient, hand it to Leo, and say: "When you arrive at Port Sorre, you can directly hand this letter to Professor Matt of the School of Humanities. He is also an expert in the study of ancient civilizations. , and I have been in correspondence for many years, he should arrange your position."

Leo took the letter of introduction and put it in his pocket.

Afterwards, both of them tacitly did not ask each other why they left the United Kingdom by smuggling, and they returned to the state of teachers and students.

Dio Browno intends to impart as much knowledge as possible to Leo on the way out, and then recommend some books so that he can continue to study when he is in the Kingdom of England, and he also asks Professor Matt to help in the letter of recommendation Teach Leo.

For Leo, Dior Browno, who has real talents and practical knowledge, is definitely a qualified mentor. Old man Rembrandt only taught him the Gamore language systematically, and let Leo read books by himself most of the time, but now Dio Bruno explained his research on the Gamore language in great detail, almost Hands-on teaching.

With his extraordinary brain and memory, Leo absorbed Dior Browno's knowledge like a dry sponge, quickly increasing his database.

At first, Dio Browno just wanted to let Leo get acquainted with the Gamore language, but soon he discovered that Leo's learning ability was amazing. He only needed to say any knowledge once, and Leo would already memorize it. This brings the Gamore language to a close.

Seeing Leo's excellent learning ability, Dio Browno was also very happy. Although the content of Gamore language has been finished, he still has other languages ​​to speak, so he began to introduce Gamore language's branch languages, An ancient language like Gamore, as well as a very special religious language and so on.

Later, Dio Browno even began to transfer the content of his lectures from the language to the text and culture of ancient civilizations. All in all, he really wanted to see where the limit of Leo's learning was.

Leo was also happy to learn more knowledge from Dior Browno. He memorized most of the knowledge, imitating the ability of the sub-brain system, compiling this knowledge into data, and collecting it into the brain database. When Browno was resting due to exhaustion, he would take out the knowledge again and relearn and consolidate it, which also made his train journey very fulfilling.

Since it had been determined that Leo and Dio Browno were ordinary fugitives, not spies or plotters to overthrow the kingdom, the two spies got off the train at its first stop.

Because it is a freight car, the train only needs to stop at the outskirts of several big cities for a period of time. The overall speed is much faster than those ordinary trains, but even so, it took nearly four days to stop at Lyon. Wuwan Town in the outskirts of Hong Kong.

Lyon County was the third largest administrative area before the French Empire, and now it is the largest administrative area in the United Kingdom. The administrative center of this area is the city of Lyon, which is only a two-day drive from Lanxi, and the port of Lyon was 50 years ago. Create a new port city.

In the beginning, the Port of Lyon was just a secret base for smuggling businessmen. Under the siege of the Governor of Lyon in the French Empire, this smuggling base was destroyed. Because of its geographical advantages, it was very suitable for the construction of a deep-water port, some businessmen began to lobby the Lyon Parliament and invested in the The port is built here. It is precisely because merchants contributed both capital and effort in the construction of the port, so when the port was built, merchants accounted for more than half of the seats in the port council, and more and more merchant seats in the subsequent development, and finally became the present This merchant city.

Wuwan Town is a small town that was gradually formed after the establishment of the Port of Lyon. Most of the residents in the town are fishermen. They make a living by catching fish and selling it at the Port of Lyon. However, this situation changed after the establishment of the United Kingdom.

Because the United Kingdom has improved the steel smelting technology and the structure of the steamship engine, the cost of the steamship has become cheaper, the size is larger, and the speed is faster. For this reason, various ship merchants began to replace all the steam sailboats on hand with A full-steam-powered steamship, and the port of Lyon's wharf cannot fully adapt to the replaced steamboat, so the Lyon Port Council decided to expand the wharf and renovate the port city by the way.

In the reconstruction plan, some important areas of the Port of Lyon were relocated outside the port city. For example, the passenger train station was relocated to Hongfeng Town on the outskirts of the port area, while the freight train station was relocated to Wuwan Town, and a new building was built in Wuwan Town. A small cargo terminal dedicated to transshipment of domestic cargo.

However, with the war between the United Kingdom and the French Empire, the original cargo ships in Wuwan Town also began to do some illegal business, such as transporting some contraband from other places, and helping some special people smuggle out of the United Kingdom etc.

After Leo and the others got off the car, several people immediately gathered around and introduced their ship to Leo and the others. It’s just that they are very cautious. None of their words involve smuggling. They only introduce the speed of the ship, where it has been registered, what channel it is familiar with, how many times it has operated, and so on. Even if someone took the initiative to ask about smuggling, they would refuse the other party with righteous words, as if they were serious business people.

However, there are also some smart people in the crowd. They quickly understood the meaning of these people's words, and expressed in cryptic language that they wanted to hire their ships. That leaves Leo, Dio Browno, and a few people who are too stupid to understand anything.

"Teacher, don't you plan to buy a boat ticket from them?" Leo watched the captains of the smuggling group turn around and leave, so he asked Dio Browno who had been silent since just now.

"No, these ships are offshore ships, and they have to change ships halfway, and it is not safe. Someone will pick me up later, and I will stay in Lyon Port for a few days, and the sponsor will arrange a ship to take me away " Dio Browno took out his pocket watch to check the time, then gestured to Leo, and walked out of the train station together. On the way, he also asked Leo: "What about you? How are you going to get to England? kingdom?"

Leo asked: "Are there any ocean-going ships that go directly to the Kingdom of England?"

"No, most of the ships here just take the offshore route of the Velen continent, and will not go as far as the Kingdom of England." Dio Browno thought for a while, and suggested: "You can take a boat to the port of Nice, and then Take a transcontinental ocean liner from the port of Nice. Or just wait for a while, the United Kingdom envoy will depart from the port of Lyon to the Kingdom of England to discuss trade matters, and there will be several ocean-going ships following, you can take that Several ships."

Leo thought for a while, but did not accept Dio Browno's proposal, and said, "I'd better find another way to leave!"

While talking, a private steam locomotive came from a distance, its huge headlights illuminated the dark road in the early morning, and it didn't stop until it was in front of the two of them.

The driver sitting in the driver's seat stuck his head out of the car window and asked Leo and Dio Browno, "Which one is Professor Browno?"

"I am." Dior Browno stepped forward and asked, "Are you..."

The driver got out of the car, opened the door of the passenger compartment, and said, "I am your driver and bodyguard arranged by the academy. I will receive you during the time you are in Port of Lyon."

"Leo, there is no carriage here, come into the city with me!" Dio Browno said to Leo, and was about to enter the carriage.

"Wait!" Leo suddenly pulled out Dior Bruno, turned to look at the driver, and said, "Are you the driver and bodyguard specially arranged by the academy?"

"Yes, sir." The driver froze for a moment and smiled.

Leo took a step forward and walked in front of this person, blocking Dio Browno just behind him, and then said: "Is the college short of money? They don't even prepare a suit of clothes for you, and there are still some clothes on the clothes." With such a strong smell of blood, do you work in a slaughterhouse?"

As Leo's words fell, the driver suddenly raised his hand, and a short sword came out of his sleeve, which he just held in his hand, and stabbed towards Leo's heart. However, before the tip of the dagger touched the target's clothes, he felt his head hit by a sledgehammer, and he fainted instantly.
