The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the frozen rune trap is not the strongest among the rune traps made by Leo, it is the most practical, because in this rune trap, not only the freezing witchcraft created by Leo himself is added, but also Added the effect of the Sign of Arden in the Witcher Sign.

In other words, this freezing rune trap not only has the ability to freeze prey materially, but also those non-material strange existences are also within its attack range, such as spirit bodies, energy bodies, and the like.

Leo has researched and created a lot of rune traps during this time, some of which are amazing works, of course, more of them are failures with big brain holes, but among all the rune traps created, there are only a few types of rune traps Can maintain stable performance.

One is the rune trap that made the mirror world that night. This rune trap can be used in conjunction with Turing's radical and its pattern circle to create that kind of mirror world magic. This kind of rune trap is a supporting equipment for the magic circle, and it cannot be used alone. In addition, Leo thinks that this kind of rune trap has great potential for development, so he didn't take it out as a commodity.

As for the frozen rune trap, it is a mature rune trap, its potential can be said to have been tapped out, no matter how powerful it is, it can be used stably, and it is easy to make, so it was sold by Leo .

The reason why Leo sold the frozen rune trap was that he was running out of psionic substances that could be used for experiments. He had accumulated a large amount of psionic substances in his storage space due to several experiences in the past. He felt that he should not worry about this for a long time.

What he didn't expect was that with the improvement of his psychic level and the accumulation of various mystical knowledge, the various psychic experiments that needed to be done also increased significantly.

During his time in the Kingdom of England, he spent most of his time doing various experiments related to witchcraft and psionic energy, and the consumption of psionic substances naturally far exceeded expectations.

He noticed this problem very early, so he would also buy some psionic substances while selling wizard potions on the black market.

It’s just that the black market in the Kingdom of England is no better than the black markets in other places. Although the black market here can exist in various cities in the kingdom in a semi-open manner, the monitoring and control of the kingdom is naturally much stronger than other places, and the kingdom is also The largest customer of the black market, most of the psionic substances and other good things that flowed into the black market were bought by the kingdom before they were put out.

If Leo wants to obtain more psionic substances, the best way is to buy them from the official, but this kind of psionic substance will not be sold easily even if it is an official, whether it is used to make special bullets or to make other things. Psionic items, the official is also very loyal to such items, and it is difficult to buy psionic substances from the official without some good things.

As for why wizard potions are not used as a commodity for trading psionic substances, it is nothing more than worrying that the kingdom officials believe that the psionic substances he trades are necessary for making wizard potions. Competitors, and they are the kind with deep pockets.

Leo was very confident in the rune traps he took out, and it was indeed the case. In the afternoon of the same day, Frank Fussen and the old wizard Otto found him one after another and ordered a batch of such rune traps.

It's just that Frank Fussen and the old wizard Otto obviously have some differences in the use of this rune trap. Frank Fussen hopes that the freezing effect can be stronger. Obviously, he pays more attention to the physical freezing effect. , while the old wizard Otto directly asked Leo if there was a stronger rune trap that could act on the spirit or supernatural power, or to strengthen the part of this freezing trap that targeted supernatural power.

It is true that Leo could easily change several Turing roots of the freezing trap, so that the effect of the trap could be changed according to the wishes of the two of them, but he did not do so immediately, but vaguely stated that such a change would take some time, and in a short time Can't do it.

The end result was that while both parties ordered a batch of rune traps from him, they also offered to donate a large amount of psionic material to Leo for research on the traps needed by both parties.

For these donations, Leo didn't refuse, and he didn't have any embarrassment. He just needs to take out the rune trap that meets their needs when he trades rune traps with the two next time.

After receiving these few psionic substances, Leo's storage space was refilled, which was enough for him to use for a long time, and he also discovered some little secrets from these psionic substances.

For example, the royal family of England should have a stable source of psionic substances, and it came from the sea, because all the psionic substances brought out by the old wizard were the remains of some sea creatures.

As for the types of psionic substances that Frank Fussen took out, there are many types, such as bones, wood, feathers, refined oils, etc., but the only one of these psionic substances that Leo pays special attention to is the refined oil.

The most commonly used in this world is tree oil, and there is also animal oil. I don’t know if it is because the chemical element composition of this world is different from other worlds. The oil in this world is very poor in terms of temperature and volatilization speed after ignition, and cannot be compared with other worlds. Compared with wood, most oils will be used as mechanical lubricants, and only very poor people will use oil lamps.

However, the few bottles of refined oil containing special energy that Leo bought in his hand can exert the effect of normal oil in the universe, and with the injection of spiritual energy, this effect can be multiplied.

From the shapes and materials of the bottles themselves, as well as the inspection of the refined oil through the spiritual network, it is not difficult for Leo to see that these oils are mass-produced products, so either the Special Bureau has mastered a method that can produce psionic oils, Or the special bureau has a material that can make psionic oil.

Compared with the method, Leo believes that the special bureau should have some kind of raw material, and the output of this kind of raw material does not seem to be high, otherwise it is impossible that no one can not see the value of this kind of oil.

After completing the transaction, Leo stayed in the capital for another day, thoroughly read the construction materials of the seminary that he had not fully read before, and then took a boat directly to the sea from the Welsh River, and then changed to a sea ship. Returned directly to Port of Scitech from the sea.

Although Leo left Port of Scitech for a period of time, nothing unusual happened here, and everything remained the same. If there is any change, that is, the factories Leo invested and acquired received from the Navy in the past two days. A large number of orders for mechanical parts for warships have begun to make a profit.

When Leo heard the good news from the steward, he couldn't help but frowned. If it was an order from another kingdom's administrative unit, Leo would not have any reaction, but these orders were from the navy, so this made him Can't help but have other thoughts, and Anderson Lehman, who is undoubtedly in a semi-retired state, should already know his identity, and he also knows that he is not a special agent at all.

However, Leo was not worried that Anderson Lehman would retaliate against him because of the incident that led to his retirement. On the contrary, this huge order of mechanical parts was more like an act of showing favor.

Leo didn't intend to get involved in the power struggle of the army, so he didn't give these orders special care, he just asked the directors of several manufacturing factories to pay attention to the quality of these military parts.

After that, Leo found Jason and Matthew, and briefly told them what happened in Dulin City, and gave them some advice.

Regarding some political changes in Dulin City in recent days, the Port of Dorset has also been discussing a lot. Whether it is the assassination of a naval hero, or the resignation of high-level officials and councilors, etc., they are all concerned about the hearts of everyone in Dorset Port, because If there is a change in the political situation in the capital, the aftermath will naturally spread to the entire Kingdom of England. At that time, the Port of Sete will also be inevitable, so the dignitaries here will prepare early and wait for the change in the political situation, so that during this change, they can make their own decisions. Protection or profit.

Neither Jason nor the Matthew couple thought that this matter would be related to Leo. After being shocked, they also understood that Leo also understood why Leo had such a suggestion.

Jason followed Leo's suggestion without hesitation, and said that he would submit a leave application to the Special Bureau when he returned. At that time, he would take her wife and a few subordinates to travel for a while.

As for the Matthews, because the construction of the Kingdom Medical College is in their hands, if they leave, these things must be entrusted to someone worthy of their trust, otherwise these things can only be suspended, and the problem is that they do not There is no trustworthy object that can handle these things.

So after some hesitation for a while, the Matthews decided to stay here to see the follow-up of the political situation in the capital, but they did not completely reject Leo's proposal. They still made another preparation, if the situation arises If something is wrong, you can go abroad to avoid the domestic power struggle under the pretext of finding a suitable teacher for the Kingdom Medical College.

After meeting with Jason and the others, Leo spent two days dealing with various investment matters, specifying the direction of the factory's development, and leaving a blueprint of a mechanical timing device, which will be used as the factory's new project in the future. Products, and then asked the butler to book an ocean-going ferry ticket to the mainland of Minsk.

Starting from the mainland of the Kingdom of England, there are three routes to the mainland of Minsk. One is to go around from the north along the east coast of the Velen continent to reach the large port of Reston in the north, sail eastward for one day to reach North Iceland, and follow the south coast of North Iceland. Sailing to the end of the east side, and sailing for another two days, you will be able to reach the northern kingdom of Minsk mainland, Daliat.

This route is an ancient route, which has been in operation for thousands of years. It can be said that it is extremely safe. As long as the ship does not seek death by itself and crashes into the drifting iceberg, there is almost no danger of shipwreck.

However, as the Kingdom of England and the Empire of France turned against each other, this route was also affected and basically stopped.

In addition to this route, there is another one that also goes north, but it starts from Venaya Port, passes through the northern waters of the Starfall Sea, travels east along the Pearl Island Chain that the Sigma Kingdom mastered in the early years, and arrives at the easternmost Sigma King's Harbor controlled by the kingdom, and then drive northwest for about five days to reach the southwest coast of the Marris Kingdom.

This route is also the shortest route, shortening the voyage by two-thirds and the time by more than two-thirds compared with the ancient route. It takes less than ten days to reach the Minsk mainland.

But the problem is that the pearl island chain of this route has complex water patterns and many underwater reefs. After breaking away from the control of the Kingdom of Sigma, it has become a three-way zone, and this has become the last paradise for pirates. Armed fleet escort, otherwise it will be ransacked by pirates.

As for the last route, it will pass through the Gem Island Chain and the Golden Sea in the southern part of the Starfall Sea to reach the colonial island of Black Jazz Island on the easternmost side of the Kingdom of England, and then sail north for six to seven days to reach the southeast side of the Kingdom of Maris. coastline.

This route is the latest route to appear. In the early years, pirates were rampant, and the degree of danger was no less than that of the pearl island chain in the northern sea. However, as the Kingdom of England became the hegemony of the sea, it began to clean up the pirates in this island chain and build islands. Chain colonies, dredging navigation routes, has become one of the safest ocean routes up to now.

However, the only problem with this route is the weather. The weather here is changeable. It may be cloudless one moment, and it may turn into a storm the next moment. Moreover, because of the location of the island and the ocean current, the complexity of the water patterns here It is more complicated than the Pearl Island Chain, and if you are not careful, you may be taken away from the route by ocean currents.

In the entire Vinylon world, only five ocean shipping companies have the ability and qualifications to operate on this route completely controlled by the Kingdom of England. Two of them are local companies of the Kingdom of England, while the other three are companies from three continents. largest shipping company.

The shipping company that Leo will take is a local shipping company in Minsk, named Aurora Shipping. The behind-the-scenes owner of this shipping company is also a well-known figure in the world of Vinylon, and she is Leia, the Snow Queen of the Northern Ice and Snow Kingdom Dailiat. Venistan.

The reason why Leo chose this ocean-going cruise ship was not only because it was the only ship that would continue to go north after arriving on the Minsk mainland in the last month, but more importantly, it was the only sailing ocean-going ship, and it was a Psionic Wonders.

This was the first time Leo had seen such a large psychic wonder. When he first saw the obviously incomparable Turing radicals on the surface of the ship and felt the psychic fluctuations emanating from the hull material, I almost thought I was delusional, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, how extravagant a person would be to use so many spiritual materials to make such a spiritual wonder?

However, he almost didn't need to bother to inquire too much. This high-ranking guest who stunned him had already inquired clearly. Ice Queen Lia Venistan was a special existence who ruled a kingdom as a witch.
