The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It was three days later that he returned to the apartment in Port of Dorset. These three days were almost spent on the ship, and no accidents occurred. Leo also stayed in the cabin most of the time, researching what Sir Roland gave him. notes.

I don't know if it's because of the environment, or because the heart has already flown to the Mozambique continent. His interpretation of the notes seems to have reached a bottleneck. After a few days of interpretation, there is almost no progress.

After returning to the apartment, Leo also found that his mental state was not suitable to continue his research, so he gave himself a rare two-day vacation, and he did nothing during these two days, that is, he was in the Port of Sete. hang out.

Although Leo has been in Dorset Port for half a year, and he is familiar with the geographical environment of Dorset Port, but most of these understandings are based on the materials related to the geographical environment. In fact, he has never visited this English kingdom. Former First Port.

After wandering around for the past few days, the entire Port of Scitech no longer has any secrets for him.

Not only did he combine the geographical data in his mind with the real information he collected, he constructed a complete geographical model in his brain, and this geographical model not only included the surfaces of the buildings in Port of Sete, but even the interior of the buildings. The size and size of the decorations, secret passages and secret doors were also captured by the spirit net and added to the map of the brain.

Similarly, he also discovered the secrets of many officials and wealthy businessmen in Port of Sete, but these secrets are nothing compared to the big secrets Leo got from the wizard of the wilderness.

However, in the past two days, Leo discovered some interesting things. For example, many people with family blood left by boat at the Port of Scitech. Venaya Port, the Land of Familia Freedom.

In addition, some people from the dark world that Leo had seen in the black market before also left by boat in disguise.

Obviously, the departure of these people is related to a special bureau supervision department established by the royal family in the past two days.

On the second day after Leo came back, Jason found him and asked him for reference. According to him, the royal family installed a supervision department in the special bureau, and directly recruited the current special bureau agents as department members. , and because Jason is a newcomer to the Special Bureau, he is not deeply involved with the Special Bureau. He is also the first person to receive a recruitment letter from the Special Bureau of Dorset Port.

After listening to the relevant content about the supervision department of the Special Bureau, Leo couldn't help but lament that the royal family's grasp of the timing was very precise this time.

The reason for the royal family to establish a supervisory department is that members of the special bureau have suffered heavy casualties recently, and all kinds of supernatural events in the Kingdom of England are faintly showing signs of getting out of control. independent supervisory authority.

Regarding the royal family's proposal, there is polarization within the Congress. Some people think that the royal family's influence should not be extended to the government's real power department, and it is a powerful department like the Special Bureau that has dual powers of judiciary and trial and has special rights.

But another group of people think that the recent performance of the special bureau is too bad. Not only did the special bureau agents suffer heavy casualties when investigating various supernatural events, such as the incident in Death Valley, but the inner ghost incident also proved that the special bureau There have been problems within the Bureau, and they are big problems. Judging from all the circumstances, the Special Bureau has been unable to control the growing extraordinary incidents in the Kingdom of England, so it is indeed necessary to establish a new department within the Special Bureau.

Perhaps it was because the royal family had made sufficient preparations in advance. Although there were great differences within the Congress regarding the establishment of a special bureau to supervise the department, in the end the bill was secretly promoted by the representatives of the royal family in Congress and passed with a small number of votes. As for presiding over the special bureau The person in the bureau's supervision department is Leo's old acquaintance Otto Wizard.

Judging from this incident, although the old wizard failed to bring back the Sea God Artifact, he did bring back some werewolves and vampires. Apart from their own qualities, these people can quickly become extremely good and powerful fighters after a period of training. Moreover, these people can also create a certain number of blood descendants and increase the number of ethnic groups.

It is precisely because of this reason that the status of the old wizard in the eyes of the royal family has not been adversely affected, but has been valued more and more. Even a real government department that the royal family has managed to obtain is handed over to the old wizard.

However, regarding the fact that Jason would receive the recruitment letter from the supervisory department, Leo felt that the reason Jason said was just a public excuse, and that the supervisory department would take a fancy to Jason and it might have something to do with him.

Since the old wizard has already set his sights on Leo, it is impossible not to know the existence of Jason, so Jason is probably just a temporary springboard found by the old wizard in order to get closer to Leo.

So in the face of Jason's inquiry, Leo's simple answer was not to accept the recruitment, and to hand over the recruitment letter to the head of the Special Bureau Branch.

Jason doesn't understand Leo's simplicity. In his opinion, the conditions in the recruitment letter are really generous. As long as he agrees to the recruitment, he will be able to take the position that is almost equivalent to the current head of the Special Bureau's Seite Branch. Much better than being an ordinary agent in the Special Bureau.

Leo also answered Jason's question.

First of all, Jason's giant bloodline is still in the development and growth stage, and only by fighting constantly can his bloodline grow up, so ordinary front-line detectives are a chore for others who may encounter dangerous battles at any time, but for For Jason, it was a rare job.

In addition, the various promises on the recruitment letter do not make any sense at all. This supervisory department was set up entirely for the purpose of supervising the internal affairs of the Special Bureau, and would inevitably be rejected by the agents within the Special Bureau. If they had a foundation in the Special Bureau and had people under their command, it might be good to accept the position on the recruitment letter.

But the problem is that Jason is only one person, and besides Leo and others, there is no other person he can trust. Can't sit in that position.

Moreover, the supervisory department is obviously more concerned with dealing with the political struggles within the Special Bureau. With Jason's character, how could he outplay those wily politicians? His final result is naturally self-evident.

As for the fact that Leo asked Jason to hand over the recruitment letter to the head of the branch, the main reason was to let Jason show his attitude and loyalty in front of the head of the Port of Sorce branch, which would facilitate Jason's development in the special bureau.

Jason finally followed Leo's suggestion, and this incident also made Leo discover that the royal family was not indifferent to the failure to obtain the Poseidon artifact. Since they did not vent their anger on the old wizard, they naturally wanted to find a new punching bag. People in the dark world will naturally suffer.

It has to be said that there are indeed some smart people in the royal family. They installed a supervisory department inside the special bureau, not only obtained part of the rights of the special bureau, but also used the special bureau as a chess piece to deal with those undisciplined secret agents in the kingdom. The people of the world, and the royal family don't have to take any risks, they just need to sit back and reap the fruits.

It's just that the Special Bureau is not a fool, they know very well that if they really follow the instructions above, they will probably completely offend the people in the dark world of the kingdom to death. In that case, the agents of the Special Bureau may become The target of revenge, such a result is definitely not what the Special Bureau wants to see.

Therefore, they are not very strict in cleaning up the dark world in the kingdom, and they only target ordinary mercenaries and bounty hunters who hang out in the dark world. Warning, and the black market, which is the largest gathering place for supernatural beings in the dark world, has not been affected in any way. Those who should do business will do business, and those who should take jobs will take jobs.

During the few days of rest, Leo also went to the black market a few times, in addition to selling some wizard potions to get cash, but also to collect some information related to the wasteland. Now that he has plans to go to the wasteland, he must Be prepared in advance.

However, even in the black market, it is very difficult to find useful and detailed information on the wasteland. Most of the information is only related to the outermost tribal areas of the wasteland. As for the deeper part of the wasteland, there is no reliable and useful information. These are all unreliable rumors.

In the early days of pioneering, the colonists of the Vilen countries had planned to open up the wasteland, but they were blocked by the tribe. Although the tribe failed in the end, the colonists went deep into the wasteland, but faced with the endless danger hidden in the wasteland, all People have no idea of ​​pioneering, and only a few adventurers will choose to go deep into the wasteland, looking for some rare animals and plants that have disappeared in other continents of Velen.

Therefore, until now, the vast majority of people in the Velen world have only limited their knowledge of the wasteland to the tribal area, and it is still a mystery in the depths.

However, Leo's healing potion has become one of the most important commodities in the black market in Scitech Port. Leo's status in the black market has been raised to the highest level. Most of it is reflected in the preciousness of the purchased items. As a special customer, he can see and buy the precious items that are not usually seen in the market, and some of his product requirements will naturally be paid special attention to by the black market.

Although the black market cannot obtain complete wasteland information, some fragmented information about the wasteland can still be found on the black market.

Over the years, many people have ventured into the wasteland. Some people were lucky enough to find precious things, left alive, and finally made a fortune. Some people were unlucky and stayed in the wasteland forever.

Most of those lucky people will record their experience in the wasteland. Although there is no shortage of exaggerated content, it is also the first-hand information on the wasteland that can be found. It’s just that most of these materials are lost among the people. If you want to collect them, you need to a little time.

For this reason, Leo spent two bottles of healing potions. Just when Leo was about to leave the black market, the person in charge of the black market in Port Sorre stopped Leo and said, "Mr. Dodd, didn't you want to meet that man before?" A wizard who assisted us in building the black market in Port of Sete?"

"En!" Leo was stunned and asked, "Have you heard about him?"

Leo had previously asked the person in charge of the black market if he could meet the wizard who arranged the black market, but the person in charge of the black market did not know where the wizard was going. This wizard was not from the black market, but was invited by the upper echelons of the black market to help. After arranging the Turing radicals in the black market, he left. Even the upper echelons of the black market did not know the current whereabouts of this person.

Originally, Leo thought that he had missed this wizard, but now he got news again, but at this time, Leo's mentality was different, and he saw the pictures of real tower wizards in Death Valley and Fort Old Johns. After the root of the spirit character and the magic circle of runes, his research object has been transferred to it, and he is much less interested in the wizard who arranged the black market.

However, even if the interest is much less, it would be nice if we could meet this wizard and exchange knowledge.

"No." The person in charge of the black market shook his head, and before Leo misunderstood, he added: "However, one of the items he left in the black market has expired and can be sold. I would like to ask you about this Interested in something?"

"What is it?" Leo asked.

The person in charge of the black market said: "We don't know either. It is packed in a box. The box is sealed with fifty well-made locks. You need to open fifty locks to open the box."

"Haven't you tried to open it?" Leo asked again.

"I tried it, but I can't open it." The person in charge of the black market said truthfully: "Those locks can only be opened with techniques that some wizards understand. We also thought about breaking the outer shell, but the box is made of metal. Yes, the shell is very hard, and there is no way to leave a trace on it."

Leo smiled and said, "Do you think I will buy such a thing that I don't even know the content of?"

The person in charge of the black market also said with a smile: "In fact, we think that even if the things inside are worthless at all, that box is already precious enough, no matter how expensive it is, we won't suffer a loss."

Leo nodded and agreed with the person in charge of the black market. Indeed, even if the contents of the box were just an ordinary stone, the exquisite box that even the black market could not open was already precious enough. So after thinking for a while, Leo said, "You convinced me. What about the stuff? I want to buy it."

"Sorry, the things are not with me." The person in charge of the black market shook his head again, then took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Leo, saying, "The things are in Padu City, Asha County, Maris Kingdom, where the The Black Market is going to hold an auction, and that item is on the list."

"Yasa County?" Leo frowned when he heard the name, because this place seems to be the origin of werewolves and blood races in the Velen world. He didn't expect that he had just come into contact with werewolves and blood races in Death Valley, and now he has contact again. .

After getting the invitation, Leo didn't give the person in charge of the black market a clear answer, so he turned around and left the black market, while the person in charge of the black market stood there for a long time with a dazed expression, not knowing whether Leo agreed to go or whether he agreed to go or not. Do not agree.
