The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After leaving the villa, Annie and Leo didn't ride any more horses. They walked to the main street outside the villa area, stopped a carriage, and drove towards Annie's hospital.

On the way, neither of them spoke, just like when they came in the carriage, but this time Anne was waiting for Leo to speak, while Leo was thinking about the things in the villa.

Being able to learn the words in the wilderness wizard's notebook is naturally very important to Leo. Even if the old man devalues ​​the wilderness wizard's notebook, it is very useful to him, at least let him understand this Some details of the mysterious side power of the world.

It's just that Leo doesn't believe that there is a free lunch in the world. Since there is something to gain, it naturally needs to be paid, so Leo directly asked the old man what he needs to pay.

The answer he got was somewhat surprising. The old man only needed Leo to help him get one thing from a house.

At first, Leo thought that the old man wanted to steal things from other people's houses, but soon he found out that he had misunderstood, because the house the old man wanted Leo to go to was one of his properties.

It sounds weird to ask someone to pick up something from the house under his name, but when Leo asked the old man for more details, the old man was unwilling to answer.

In this regard, Leo could only say that he would not agree to such a thing before he knew the actual situation, and the old man was not angry, and still wrote an introductory letter to Leo, and said that when Leo thought clearly, he could continue the deal.

From the moment he left the villa, Leo always felt that his experience in the villa was a bit weird, because the process of talking with the old man in the villa was not like himself, and he seemed not too wary of the old man. Even the wilderness wizard's notes, which are very important to him, were shown to the old man.

This situation made him think of Martin Luther. Martin Luther also had a similar affinity, but it was far worse than the old man, and his affinity was more of a psionic skill. It doesn't come from itself like the old man, so he can't find abnormal data from the data of the sub-brain system.

"What a terrible old man, as long as he is around, he will be affected by him involuntarily." Leo said suddenly, without thinking.

Annie smiled and said, "Hehe! It's the first time you've seen him like this, and you'll get used to it after getting along with him for a long time."

Leo looked at Annie who was sitting on the opposite chair, and said, "Speaking of which, it's really weird. I still don't know who he is?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Annie asked in a daze.

Leo shook his head.

Annie smiled and said, "Since he didn't tell you, I won't tell you either. You can check it yourself, or wait for him to tell you in person."

Leo also expected Annie to have such an answer. If Annie wanted to say something, she would have said it on the way here.

Leo then asked again: "When did you see me... What do you call this in your words? Magic power?"

"After you went upstairs, there was a gadget for detecting magic power in my laboratory." Annie said truthfully: "To be honest, the magic power on your body is the purest I have seen in so many years."

Leo said in a deep voice: "So you take me as a hidden wizard and take me to meet that old man?"

"Yes." Annie nodded and said, "He is also the only person in Miria City who can help you and is willing to help."

"Do you know what he's looking for the wizard for?"

"I don't know." Annie shook her head and said, "His obsession with wizards is well-known in the Association. I brought you there just to make him happy. As long as a person is happy, he can say anything, what do you think?" , she suddenly asked curiously: "You've asked me so many questions, and I'll ask you a question too, should this be okay?"

Leo smiled, and wanted to tell her that she didn't answer any of the questions he asked, but in the end he held back, nodded, and said, "Ask!"

Annie asked very curiously: "How did you get the magic power on your body? Since you are not a wizard, how can you have such pure magic power?"

Leo didn't answer honestly, but said in a mysterious way: "The magic power on me should be similar to the magic power on yours."

However, Annie believed it. The reason why she believed Leo's words was entirely because of the purple crown flower. She felt that only people who had the same experience as herself could pick this flower that should not appear in the world.

Annie's current reaction made Leo feel a little surprised, he just made a nonsense, and Annie actually believed it, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Of course, he would not think that a woman like Annie was easy to deceive. The only possibility was that his nonsense was interpreted into another meaning.

Soon the secondary brain system analyzed a possibility, purple crown flower, black forest.

In the data records of the sub-brain system, old Pierre once mentioned that there was a person who went in and out of the Black Forest during the foggy season and also saw the purple crown flower, but he didn't say the name of this person.

Now it seems that this person is likely to be the Anne in front of her, and the spiritual power of this Annie is likely to be obtained in the Black Forest, and even her appearance that is much younger than her age may be related to the Black Forest.

Although Annie had already believed Leo's words, she was still instinctively skeptical, so she tentatively asked, "Have you been there yet?"

If Leo hadn't analyzed the result, he must have been clueless when he heard this nonsensical question, and went on to cheat. But now he knows how to answer, and said, "Is it in the fog?"

It was also an ambiguous answer, but it was enough for Anne to completely believe in Leo's nonsense.

Leo really wanted to keep asking, and wanted to know what Annie got in the foggy wonderland of the Black Forest to allow her to stay young like she is now. After all, delaying aging is also a big topic in the Earth Federation, and there is no such thing as yet. A solid outcome.

But Leo also understands that if you ask too many questions, the possibility of leaking will be greater. If not, it will turn Annie's face. This is a bit self-defeating, so he restrained his curiosity and did not ask any more questions .

Soon the carriage drove to Annie's neighborhood hospital. Annie parked the carriage at the door, and then spent three gold flanges to hire the carriage for three days. During these three days, she, Leo and the others might have to travel around to avoid further Temporarily called a carriage on the street.

When I went upstairs, I saw Jason guarding the door according to Leo's instructions. The flintlock hand cannon he had always regarded as a treasure was also taken out and set up at the door, scaring Annie who had just opened the door. Big jump.

However, despite being frightened, Annie also praised the design of the flintlock gun very much, and felt that it could continue to be improved, and said that she must introduce this designer to a good friend of hers who specializes in machinery.

Thinking of the bar and the devices on the old man that Annie saw, Leo felt that the friend Annie was referring to was the maker of these machines. Jean Valjean being able to know such a master of machinery manufacturing should be of great help to him, so he told Anne about Jean Valjean's identity.

On the other hand, Nelson and Catherine have already taken advantage of the time Anne and Leo left to sort out a draft about the suturing operation. Because of the draft, there are some mistakes in many places.

Although Leo didn't know much about medical skills, he was very good at healing wounds in the field. He quickly pointed out the mistakes, and under Annie's arrangement, he demonstrated three different suture techniques on the corpses parked in the basement of the hospital. Dealing with three different injuries brought this thesis to perfection in a short period of time.

However, after reading the paper, Annie shook her head, changed the three suture techniques into one, and also deleted some content that can improve the surgical effect, such as special surgical forceps, sutures, etc. , leaving only a paper that is slightly better than the draft, with little practical content, but very complete theoretical knowledge.

Seeing Leo and the others' puzzled expressions, Annie smiled and said, "This is not in the academy, this is in Miria, the big stage of world politics, where you not only need to learn to release your talents, but also need to Know when to let the brilliance of talent converge. A perfect paper is good, but it lacks the fun of everyone's participation and everyone's profit. A theoretical paper that everyone participates in and an article that is only glanced at by others, what do you think? Which one is more likely to attract people's attention in a short period of time?"

Although Nelson and Catherine felt that what Annie said was reasonable, they always felt that something was wrong. As for Leo, he was used to the faces of politicians from the Earth Federation, so he naturally didn't express any objection to Annie's politicians.

After that, Annie didn't ask Nelson and Catherine to write the next paper, but took this paper, led Leo and the four of them out of the hospital, and took a carriage to the Vinylon Medical Association in the administrative area.

The administrative area is one of the first three large areas established in Miria City. From the earliest block to the current seven blocks, the entire administrative area has undergone three expansions until there is no place to expand. Departments were split out to create a sub-administrative district in the outer suburbs to ease the increasingly tight land use.

Vinylon Medical Association is a landmark building in the administrative area. The shape of the building is simple and concise. It is a cube with a height of five floors and 100 rooms vertically and horizontally. It is nicknamed square bricks by the locals.

At the main entrance of the medical association, there is a square that covers an area similar to that of the building of the association. Rows of steles carved and polished from the black stone that is a specialty of Mata Town are neatly erected on the square. A list of those who died in the Great Plague on the world of Velen.

Although there are no shocking buildings or gorgeous statues here, anyone who approaches this square will feel a strong sense of solemnity. Standing by the side, even the voice of speaking can't help but be lowered.

After arriving here, both Nelson and Catherine had a pilgrimage mentality. Although Vinylon School of Medicine is the cradle of Vinylon's world medicine, this is the center of Vinylon's medicine.

After Annie led the four of them into the building, she first arranged Leo and Jason in the reception room next to the entrance of the building, and then led Nelson and Catherine to the headquarters of the medical school in the building.

While waiting, Jason was a little bored, so he got up and walked to the public exhibition hall on the side of the building to see the ongoing exhibition of biological organs.

And Leo has long been used to seeing bloody corpses on the battlefield, and has no interest in these biological organs soaked in bottles, so he stayed in the reception room, picked up a newspaper for entertainment and read it .

Not long after, someone suddenly sat beside Leo.

Leo leaned towards him when there were a lot of vacant seats in the reception room. Leo was naturally alert and turned his head to look at the person coming.

I saw that this was a woman, and she was a very beautiful woman. Even in the era of the Earth Federation, where ugly men and women are almost invisible after genetic adjustment, she can definitely be regarded as outstanding.

Delicate facial features, wavy long curly red hair, and a slender neck make her look like a marble statue, more like a perfect woman carefully carved by an artist.

This woman is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a very hot figure. She is wearing a somewhat rebellious leather black windbreaker. The skirt is deliberately opened, allowing people to see the fullness inside which is deliberately set off by the fishbone lace corset. Pants, high-heeled boots, and women's broadswords and hand crossbows on both sides make her look like a queen overall.

"Why are you here?" Just as Leo was looking at the beautiful woman, the woman suddenly asked Leo.

Leo froze for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Miss, do I know you?"

The woman froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something, smiled, and said inexplicably: "I said, we will definitely cooperate."

Leo didn't understand it for a while when he heard this, but soon he thought of something, looked at this extremely beautiful woman with a face of horror, and after scanning her eyes several times, he became a little puzzled Confirmed: "Baron de Maupassant?"

The woman smiled and leaned slightly towards Leo, like an actor taking a curtain call on the stage.

"How is this possible?" Leo still couldn't believe it.

Although some means of makeup can make a man more feminine than a woman, but there is a huge difference in the bones between men and women after all, and it cannot be changed by makeup alone.

And the woman who claims to be Baron de Maupassant in front of her is a woman through and through. It’s okay to not see the body covered by the clothes, but the bones of the face and head are real female bones, which are exactly the same as those of Maupassant recorded by Leo. The head skeleton of the Baron is completely two-person.

Leo still asked suspiciously: "Are you really Baron de Maupassant?"

The woman smiled, raised her hand and took off the glove, revealing the wooden ring on her hand.

People can make fakes, but psionic devices can't be faked. Leo already believed that the woman in front of him was Baron de Maupassant, but he still didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you a man?" , or a woman?"
