The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The library of the wizard's tower is underground. Under the gesture of the old wizard, his apprentice took Leo to the door of the library and left alone.

The door of the library is not locked, but this does not mean that it is not safe, because on the stone walls around the library door, there are complex Turing roots engraved on it, and the magic power fluctuations that surge from time to time show that there is something hidden in it. Extremely powerful witchcraft energy, if you break in without permission, you will suffer a powerful blow from this energy. In such a small environment, even Leo dare not say that he can avoid these blows, let alone say able to withstand such a blow.

Although Leo didn't think that the old wizard would harm him at this time, his cautious character still allowed him to cast a witcher seal around his body and create a mana shield so that it could provide him with protection when something abnormal happened. Enough time to retreat to safety.

After taking good protection, Leo stepped forward and gently pushed open the seemingly broken door. With a harsh creaking sound echoing in the empty room, a wave of energy swept across his body, because There was nothing threatening about this wave of energy, so neither did the witcher's mana shield.

After the energy wave swept across, the dark room in front of him instantly became brighter, and all the crystal lamps in the room were lit up, making this closed room underground as if it were daytime.

After seeing the scene in the library, Leo couldn't help but frown, because the books in this library were much less than he expected. There were only fourteen large bookcases in the whole room, and the books on these bookcases were not It's all about witchcraft, and some are even just ordinary books from the outside world.

"This guy is really cunning!" Seeing this scene, Leo naturally understood why the old wizard offered to make the library public to him. books are of no value.

Leo walked to the nearest bookshelf and picked up a book that looked like a manuscript. He almost didn't need to read the contents inside. Leo could already be sure that it should be written by the wilderness wizard himself just by looking at the words on the cover. written.

This made Leo feel a little confused, and couldn't help wondering if he had guessed wrong before, but when he opened it and looked at the contents, he immediately understood that he hadn't guessed wrong about the old wizard's heart.

Because the manuscript of the wilderness wizard in Leo's hand has nothing to do with witchcraft at all. It only records the daily life of the wilderness wizard. Look, there is not only one such diary, there are three whole bookcases full of such diaries.

In this regard, Leo just smiled, did not feel angry, and had no time to be angry.

Although the condition of the library is not as good as he expected, he doesn't think that these books and diaries are worthless, just like the box before, perhaps the things that were worthless in the eyes of the old wizard became in him. Even the value may be even.

Afterwards, Leo quickly flipped through the books in the library. During this time, Su came over and didn't say much, but Leo understood what she meant, and simply said that everything was business as usual .

After getting Leo's reply, Su didn't stay in the library anymore, turned around and left.

In fact, as far as Leo is concerned, it is completely unnecessary to continue the previous transaction with Su, but Leo has not thought about canceling the cooperation, because he feels that there should be other things to cooperate with Su in the future, such as his going to In the case of the Mosang Continent, Su, who is a senior executive of the special department of the Kingdom of America, might be able to help.

Apart from planning for the future, Leo also didn't want the royal family to have another Seagod Artifact, even if they couldn't use this Seagod Artifact now.

Leo did this not because he disliked the royal family of England, but because he was worried about whether this artifact of the sea god could withstand the erosion of the abyss. If it affects the British royal family that uses it, it will be a disastrous thing for the entire world of Velen.

Although the British royal family does not hold much power within the British Kingdom, the British royal family still has an ocean-going merchant ship that can be turned into an armed fleet at any time, and through the Sea God artifact, he can also control some of the ocean. environment and weather.

If the royal family of England was eroded by the power of the abyss and did some irrational things, such as using their powerful fleet and ability to control the ocean and weather to block the connection between the continents, then the entire world of Velen would probably fall into chaos.

And Leo knew from the book that Wangcheng read that when Wangcheng was eroded by the power of the abyss, it happened to be the most chaotic time inside Wangcheng. The people have also become violent, fighting every day for control of the chassis.

Although Leo is not sure whether the chaotic situation is directly related to the erosion of the power of the abyss, he is not going to give the abyss a chance. If the city of Lia is released, it will not only be a greater disaster for the survivors of Miria, but also a disaster for the surrounding countries and regions.

So before Leo came to the library, he had already made up his mind that he would try to destroy the Poseidon artifact as much as possible, and let the old wizard bring back a damaged Poseidon artifact.

Not long after Su left, Mira also pushed the door in from the outside, but she didn't make oblique hints like Su's, but said to Leo straightforwardly: "I hope you can help me get the treant's tree." heart."

Leo didn't take his eyes off the note in his hand, and said without turning his head: "Why do you need my help? After the old wizard and I left, there are not many people in the wizard tower. Time to take things away."

"Do you think he won't make preparations in advance?" Mira couldn't help but give Leo a white look and said.

Leo turned his attention away from the book for a while, looked at Mira, and said, "Are you concerned about the tree man's heart, do you want to use this thing as a bargaining chip to return the conditions with the Silver Moon Tribe?"

"Yes." Mira admitted.

Leo asked again, "Do you think the Yinyue Tribe would care about the tree's heart?"

Mira hesitated for a moment, and responded with some uncertainty: "Maybe I care." Perhaps because she felt that it was not a good thing to be so guilty, she immediately changed her route: "But even if the Silvermoon Tribe doesn't care, other tribes in the wasteland will also be concerned about it." If they are interested in something, they must have something that the Silver Moon Tribe is interested in, and they just need to hand it back to those tribes."

Leo returned his gaze to the book again, and said, "You think very well, but you never thought about whether anyone is willing to trade or cooperate with you, such as me."

Mira frowned when she heard the words. As Leo said, her thoughts were indeed too idealistic. Only when everything was as she predicted, would it be possible to get the result she wanted in the end. And as long as there is a problem with the middle link, she will definitely be affected.

"And that treant heart is not as complete as you think." Leo then added.

"What do you mean by that?" Mira looked at Leo in puzzlement and asked.

"Don't forget, the main reason why ordinary people can survive in the area of ​​the wizard's tower is that the power of the tree man's heart is protecting it." Leo explained while looking at the note in his hand: "When you enter the valley, you should know by looking at the surroundings on both sides. In the beginning, the power of the tree man's heart still protected a large area outside the valley, but now there is only a small area in the valley that has not been covered by the abyss. The power of erosion represents what you can't think of, right?"

Mira confirmed: "You mean that Zheng Zi, the power of the tree man's heart has weakened."

"It's not just weakening." Leo said his judgment, "It's consuming his life, and it's an irreparable consumption."

"Life?" Mira was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Is the tree man's heart still alive?"

Leo didn't answer, but just said to himself: "I think Wizard Otto should also know that the tree man's heart can't last long, so he will deliberately create rumors about Earl Drake's cemetery to attract powerful people to come here. Here, help him get back the Seagod Artifact before it is completely destroyed here."

After listening to Leo's explanation, Mira didn't say anything more, turned around and left the library.

Not long after Mira left, Leo's eyes suddenly moved away from the book, and as his head turned, he landed on a column next to him.

This pillar is just a stone pillar in the eyes of others, and there is nothing unusual about it, but in Leo's vision, it is an adult woman.

I saw that this woman was wearing a dress made of bark, her eyebrows and hair were emerald green, her eyes were like emeralds, and her lips were bright red, like ripe fruits.

Leo looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in the library, and didn't speak, and he didn't need to ask anything, because the power of the eye of reality blessed in the spiritual vision had already penetrated the female phantom of the other party, revealing her real situation. show up in his eyes.

The tree human heart in the wizard tower, this woman is the mental body of the tree human heart in the wizard tower, although I don't know if the tower wizard built this wizard tower intentionally, but Leo can be sure that it is the same as the wizard tower. The heart of an acquaintance who is fully integrated should have turned into some kind of artificial intelligence-like existence.

From a certain point of view, the actual controller of this wizard tower is not Wizard Otto, but the incarnation of the tree heart in front of him.

Moreover, Leo is also very sure that the old wizard does not know that Tree Heart will have such an ability, nor does he know the actual situation of the wizard tower, otherwise, the old wizard will not always be thinking about how to get back the sea god artifact , but thinking about how to transfer the Wizard Tower to Velen World while saving the entire Wizard Tower.

The woman transformed from the heart of the tree looked at Leo without saying a word. The two just looked at each other for a while, and then saw it suddenly raised its hand and spread it out towards Leo. The fruit is lying quietly on its palm.

Leo seemed to understand the thoughts of the tree heart consciousness, he hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward, holding the fruit in his hand.

Just when his hand touched the fruit, a series of images suddenly appeared in his mind, it was an endless virgin forest, shrouded in endless thick fog in the distance, and there was a huge lake at the edge of the thick fog, The lake acts as a natural barrier to keep the fog aside.

In the center of the lake, on a small island, a huge tree rooted in the soil, occupying the entire island.

The part above the root of this tree has completely withered and rotted, but judging from the size of the root, it is enough to infer that when this big tree is intact, it may be more than a thousand meters long.

Leo's focus on the image was entirely on an object he accidentally discovered, a spaceship parked in the water next to the tree root, a complete Abyss-class spaceship, and the smallest subspace spaceship in the universe.

When he saw the spaceship, Leo's breathing also stopped, and some thoughts appeared in his heart involuntarily, and when he recovered from the shock brought by the spaceship, the phantom of tree heart consciousness had already It has already disappeared, and only the fruit in his and my hands proves the authenticity of the scene just now.

"Is this an funeral?" Leo looked at the fruit in his hand, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, but he didn't store the fruit in the storage space, but put it in his pocket because he was worried that the fruit would be lost. Putting things into the storage space may cause bad things, such as fruit damage.

There is no doubt that the tree heart consciousness wants Leo to bring the fruit to the virgin forest on the edge of the wasteland, and plant the seeds on the decayed tree in the middle of the lake.

If there is no spaceship at the bottom of the lake, Leo may still hesitate whether to take this trip, but now he is already thinking about when to leave. Of course, before leaving, he needs to collect enough wasteland information so as not to enter with other people. Like people in the wilderness, they never return.

After calming down a bit, Leo returned to the bookshelf, picked up the diary that he hadn't read before, and continued to read.

His flipping speed is very fast, almost no normal reading, but according to the special image memory method, quickly record the content of each page as an image and save it in the memory of the brain. Although there are many books in the library, he still Before the old wizard finished turning the cup, he read all the books, and even re-read some books that he thought were relatively important in order to consolidate his memory.

It wasn't until the old wizard came here to inform him that he was ready that he stopped and put down the books in his hand.
