The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At first, Leo's words didn't make Su understand what they meant, but the other three sensed something from Leo's tone, and they all said that the weapons that hadn't been put away were aimed at the open space where Leo's line of sight was. of black grass.

Afterwards, Su also realized what Leo meant, and scolded, "Come out!"

While shouting, Su moved his hands towards the black grass field, and immediately saw the shadows of several people including Leo rushing forward like stretched rubber bands, and finally turned into several figures. Ten thin black ropes intersected with each other to form a large net, and passed towards the black grass.

Just as the large net formed by the power of shadow fell from the sky, an invisible force suddenly erupted from the black grass field. This force even distorted the surrounding light, making people feel like seeing a huge Like a glass ball, everything within the range of the invisible force is distorted and deformed.

And this invisible force is also extremely powerful, instantly dissipating the shadow net, and after dispelling the shadow net, it disappeared. At the same time, there were more people on the originally empty black grass four people.

Among these four people, there was one Leo and the others knew, who was Barkley, who was supposed to lead another team of special bureau members into Death Valley. Very proud and confident, completely different from the promise and cowardice when facing Willis outside.

Except for this Barkley, the other three are an old man and two middle-aged men. From the appearance of the two middle-aged men, there is nothing special about them. The only thing worth noting is that they are the same as Barkley. He looked very proud and confident, especially when he looked at Leo and the others, as if looking at some kind of lowly creature.

Leo is very familiar with such eyes. There are many races with extremely high life levels in the universe. Many of these races call themselves gods. In their eyes, the people of the Earth Federation, whether they are ordinary people or biochemical people, are all Primitives living in the barbaric world don't even think they are intelligent creatures, so when they look at all cosmic civilizations similar to the Earth Federation, they will show disdain and contempt in their eyes and tone.

Although the two middle-aged men did not show such strong disdain and contempt, their eyes and expressions were enough to reveal that they were probably treating Leo and the others as low-level creatures, even Leo showed such great strength.

Compared with the other three, the old man is very noteworthy, because the old man is undoubtedly a wizard, not only because of the witchcraft just performed, but also because the old man is wearing a very formal He is wearing a wizard costume, and also holds a wizard staff that Leo is very familiar with.

Yes, Leo is very familiar with this wizard staff, because this wizard staff is drawn in the notebook of the wilderness wizard, and there is even a part of the production method. Ordinary wizards don't need to use a staff at all. This staff can be said to be a staff designed and made by the wilderness wizard himself. It seems that he also knows how to use it, so this also shows that he probably has an extraordinary relationship with the wilderness wizard known as the last tower wizard.

However, there was no need for Leo to guess the other party's identity, Su had already recognized the other party the moment the wizard appeared, and gritted his teeth and said, "Otto, are you still alive?"

"Ms. Su, it's not a good habit to curse an old friend like this." The old wizard smiled heartily, and counterattacked a little, and said, "And I think I should be able to live for a long time. According to Ms. Su's Your past behavior, I believe that when you die unexpectedly somewhere, I should be able to live."

While talking, the old wizard led the other three out of the black grass.

At this time, everyone realized that the old wizard and the others were standing in the dangerous black grass just now, and the black grass seemed to regard them as air and did not attack them at all.

Just when everyone was puzzled by this strange phenomenon, Leo had already noticed the costumes on these people, because through the eyes of the abyss snake, he knew that the leather clothes and shoes on these people were made of abyss Creatures' skins, or more correctly, the hides of Abyssal-infested creatures.

Leo didn't know much about the abyss, but he also knew that the creatures infected by the abyss would be highly contagious. Even if the creatures were killed, the contagiousness would not disappear, but would be lost because of the loss of the creature itself. It is very restrained and strengthened, so the creatures infected by the power of the abyss will inevitably be infected by the power of the abyss.

But these few people showed no signs of being infected at all, but the abyssal creature skins on their bodies still had a strong reaction to the power of the abyss, which is why they were able to stand in the black grass without being attacked by the black grass , because those plants in the black grassland regard them as the same kind.

"He is Otto, the court wizard of the royal family of England." Su looked at the few people who came to him with hostility, and introduced the identity of the old wizard to Leo.

"The court wizard?" Leo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Barkley at the back, and said, "The court wizard actually designed a trap to murder the people in the special bureau."

"Mr. Leo Dodd!" The old wizard seemed to know Leo, and said with a smile, "Ms. Su also said that I am a court wizard."

When Leo heard the old wizard's words, he couldn't help being stunned, but soon showed a relieved look.

It's not difficult for the other party to know him. After all, he found the Sea God's Scepter by himself, and this time, the royal family of England hired him to find the Sea God's Artifact. Maybe the old wizard in front of him planned it.

However, the relationship between the royal family and the Congress has become so tense, even to the point of being framed and intercepted, which surprised Leo.

The bloodless revolution is considered to be the key to the transformation of the Kingdom of England, and it is also the pride of the people of the Kingdom of England. In this revolution, without any bloodshed, the British royal family voluntarily gave up the power in their hands and only retained the royal privileges , entrusted the kingdom to Congress, and the royal family is only a national symbol.

It is precisely because this change that completely changed the political situation of the Kingdom of England did not shed blood, and was highly respected by governments all over the world. It was even included in the list of the most significant miracle changes in the world, and the one when the French Empire was founded. Across the Black Forest and tied.

Although this bloodless revolution was so highly praised, all kinds of dramas were interpreting the original scene, and almost every Englishman could tell the story at that time, but anyone with a little bit of brains would be very happy. Clearly, the scenes written in plays and novels are all unreliable.

It is said that members of the Congress resigned collectively, that the palace minister led the court nobles to persuade them, that Henry III knew the overall situation, voluntarily gave up his rights, and went to the homes of members of Congress one by one, persuading them to reinstate, and so on. The real bloodless revolution was actually with the acquiescence of several nobles in the kingdom. Members of Congress led the guards who were instigated to break into the summer palace where the king was on vacation. They took the lives of the entire royal family and threatened the king to sign the contract. A kingdom reconciliation that cost the royal family most of their rights.

This is definitely a huge humiliation to the royal family, but because the Congress controls the military power, even if the royal family feels angry and humiliated, they cannot make any resistance. They can only be the mascot of the kingdom honestly and maintain the superficial .

However, the royal family does not do nothing. They still rely on their remaining privileges and strive to strengthen their strength, such as re-establishing the royal guard loyal to the royal family, forming the royal chamber of commerce, and the recently formed fleet, etc.

Naturally, Congress was not reconciled to the re-expansion of the royal family's influence, and continued to pass various laws to limit the royal privileges that had not been deprived before, but no matter how the two looked at it, at least they still maintained a superficial harmony with the outside world.

However, the matter of the Sea God Artifact is probably a trap deliberately created by the royal family, in order to reduce the staff of the Special Bureau, thereby weakening the Congress's monitoring of the kingdom's inner dark world.

Presumably, the kingdom's parliament has already controlled the kingdom's army, government, and legislative power, and the royal family has almost no way to intervene. Therefore, if the royal family wants to expand their power, the only way out is the dark world without any legal restrictions and power control.

Thinking of this, Leo also understands why the Kingdom of England is so tolerant of various alien gods, there are so many black markets and people with extraordinary abilities, and there should be royal guidance among them.

As for the Congress, it is definitely not willing to see the royal family obtain another Poseidon artifact, thereby expanding the royal family's control over the sea, so after this news spread, the most nervous is definitely not the surrounding countries that are afraid of the maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of England, but Members of the Kingdom's National Assembly.

"You have always known where Death Valley is, and you all know that Earl Drake is here, and even..." Leo looked at the old wizard, and said in a deep voice: "You may even be collaborators with Earl Drake, for It is to study how to use another Poseidon artifact, the so-called loss of another Poseidon artifact is just an illusion you used to deceive Congress, right?"

Hearing that Leo suddenly said so many speculations, the expression on the old wizard's face did not change, but the people behind the old wizard showed surprised expressions. Obviously, Leo's speculations may be correct, or partly correct.

"When I heard that incident a few years ago, I thought you were a different person." The old wizard looked at Leo with great admiration, and said, "Actually, the reason why you hired Lord Leo this time is , also because of my suggestion." As he spoke, he suddenly paused and said, "Your Excellency Leo, you should have been to Yamu Island during the time you were missing at sea!"

This time it was Leo's turn to look surprised, and asked: "Have you been to Yam Island?" But soon he realized that he had guessed wrong, and said again: "Is it Earl Drake? He has been to the Isle of Yam, and has returned to Velen from the Isle of Yam."

"Yes." The old wizard nodded, and said with a slightly respectful expression: "The earl should be the first person to return to Velen from the world of the dead on Yam Island, and you are the second."

Leo didn't refute the old wizard, because he knew very well that there was another person who had returned from Yam Island to the world of Velen from a hundred years ago.

Leo asked again: "Well, Queen Mary, you placed the things on the cruise ship on purpose? You are doing sacrifices."

The old wizard shook his head and said, "No, that's just a coincidence, and the accident on the cruise ship is not what we want to see. It's those guys in Congress that caused it."

Leo questioned: "In this case, why do you know that I have been to Yam Island?"

"Because it's afraid of you." The old wizard raised his hand to push the hair blocking his forehead, pointed to his forehead, and said, "This kind of situation only happens to Earl Drake."

I saw that the place where the old wizard pointed was a prism-shaped obsidian, which looked like a decoration, but in Leo's eyes, this obsidian represented another thing, the kind of parasite that the Yam people called holy insects. Although he doesn't know how the other party obtained this parasite and allowed it to survive and parasitize safely in the environment of Velen World, he is sure that the old wizard should be able to completely control this parasite, and Not controlled by parasites.

Su on the side didn't understand what the old wizard and Leo were talking about at all. She found that Leo was a huge mystery in her eyes. Although she solved some mysteries and learned a little about Leo through a few days of getting along, but Soon she will find that what she understands is only superficial, and Leo still has countless secrets that are not known.

For example, now, Leo and the old wizard clearly only met for the first time, but the conversation between the two seemed like they had known each other for a long time, and they both knew some secrets that she didn't know. I was even more curious.

However, Leo didn't pay attention to the strange gaze beside him, but kept staring at the old wizard in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Since this is a trap, then the so-called Sea God Artifact should also be in your hands, there is no need to look for it at all. Bar?"

"No, I still need your help to get it again." The old wizard said, pointing to the church of the abyss snake in front of him, and said: "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the refuge first."

As he spoke, the old wizard gestured to the middle-aged man beside him, and the middle-aged man immediately walked out, took off his backpack, and then took out five leather jackets and boots similar to them, and put them on the In front of Leo and the others.

Leo did not take these sets of clothes made of abyssal creature skins immediately, but continued to ask the old wizard: "Is that an ability test just now?"

"No." The old wizard shook his head and said, "Actually, I was also very surprised, very surprised."
