The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the decision to leave the manor as soon as possible was quickly made, but after leaving the manor, where to live has become a problem, because they are not just one or two people, and a dozen people can't be accommodated in a general hotel. With so many people, even if they can live there, if so many people with obvious characteristics live together, Earl Britta will probably find out soon, and by then they may be caught in endless killings.

"I have a place where people may live." At this time, Dandelion said suddenly.

Everyone looked at Dandelion, waiting for him to give an answer, but Geralt looked at Dandelion thoughtfully, seeming to guess the address Dandelion was going to say, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is that place?" no problem?"

"Of course no problem." Dandelion smiled confidently and said, "After all, he is dead, isn't he?"

"Tell me, tell me, where is it?" Angulan asked anxiously.

"Belan Manor." Dandelion said the answer.

Most of the people present didn't know where the Bellan Manor was, but they were able to call it the manor in Toussaint, so it could be seen that this place must be quite big.

Only Regil was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "It seems to be the vacation estate of the grand dukes of Toussaint, right next to Lake Sarawi."

Hearing this, those who were familiar with Dandelion looked at this fancy-dressed companion in the same way, and Angulane said directly: "I didn't expect, uncle, you are so powerful!"

Dandelion rarely showed embarrassment, but he did not refute everyone's speculation.

"Can you still go to Beran Manor?" Geralt asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Dandelion said with great confidence, puffing out his chest.

Seeing Dandelion's affirmation, Geralt immediately thought of something, and said in surprise: "You went to see the Duchess? When? I remember that you have been with us since you came to Toussaint?"

"Not all the time, you forgot, I went out for two nights." Dandelion explained: "Anna originally asked me to live in the manor, but I prefer to be with my companions, but before Anna left It is said that the manor has been notified, and I can go there at any time."

Although the conversation between Geralt and the others was somewhat endless, it was enough for Leo and Sylvia to hear some clues. Obviously, Dandelion, a flamboyant man who had never been seen by them, actually had a relationship with Toussaint's. The female grand duchess has an unusual relationship, and she is so close that she can come and go in and out of the grand duchess's holiday estate at will.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other at this time, and quickly exchanged views. Obviously, getting in touch with the Grand Duchess through Dandelion, and then getting in touch with the sorceress who is the Grand Duke's advisor, is obviously better than their previous participation in the Knights. The program of the Congress is more efficient and shorter.

This also changed their original plan to part ways with Geralt and the others after they learned about this matter. At least until they got in touch with the Grand Duchess, they would stay with Geralt and the others.

Leo and Sylvia didn't need much words, they only needed a look to understand each other's thoughts. At this time, Sylvia tentatively asked: "The manor of the Grand Duchess is only for you to live in, what are you taking with you now?" With so many of us, there won't be any trouble, right?"

Dandelion shook his head immediately, and said, "No, Anna is a nice person, she doesn't care about these things, if there is a chance, I can introduce you, I believe she also wants to know you, the Knight of Light."

When Sylvia heard this, she just took advantage of the situation and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you for an introduction."

Dandelion would think about other things, patted his chest, and said it was on him, but the others didn't think much about it, only Regal looked at Sylvia and Leo thoughtfully.

After everyone made the decision to leave Britta Manor and go to Bellan Manor, other problems were solved. After all, Bellan Manor is the Grand Duke's manor, and there will be no major problems in terms of safety. Count Britta thinks again There will also be concerns about what to do, such as directly hiring a mercenary group to attack Bellan Manor.

Everyone also began to pack their things and prepare to leave. Although the survivor's family didn't understand why they had just settled down and wanted to leave, they knew very well that Geralt and the others were their only lifelines, so they didn't dare to complain. Honestly repack the things that were just taken out.

Leo planned to take advantage of this time to sell the horses and armor on hand, but Regil stopped him and said, "Your Excellency Leo, it may be very difficult to sell these horses and armor like this. These horses and armor have the brand of the Chifeng Mercenary Group on them, and ordinary horse dealers and blacksmiths probably would not dare to accept these things."

"Then what should we do?" Leo frowned and asked.

Regil offered to help, saying: "Leave it to me! I lived in Toussaint for a while, and I have some connections. I can afford these horses and armor, and I can sell them at a good price."

Leo thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Regal."

As he spoke, Leo handed over the reins to Regil.

After Regal took the reins, he led the horse and left the manor.

When Leo returned to their room, Sylvia felt a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to sell those spoils?"

"I met Regal." Leo told Sylvia that he met Regal just now and that Regal offered to help them sell the horses.

"Is the relationship between him and us so good?" Sylvia asked suspiciously.

"It shouldn't be that good!" Leo carefully recalled the process of his study with Regal two days ago, and found that Regal's attitude towards him was more like the attitude of the researchers of the Earth Federation towards special biochemicals. He treated him as a research subject, not a friend, and Regal's reaction just now was obviously a little abnormal.

Sylvia guessed again: "It is the strength you and I have shown that has been recognized by him, so he regards us as friends."

Leo thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Probably not, he shouldn't be the kind of person who values ​​strength, otherwise he wouldn't be friends with Dandelion and Angulane."

Sylvia nodded in agreement when she heard the words, and fell into deep thought again. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "I know why his attitude suddenly changed."

"Why?" Leo asked.

"Because I was too deliberate when I asked Dandelion to introduce the Grand Duchess." Sylvia said with certainty: "Regil thought we were deliberately contacting Geralt in order to pass Dandelion As a springboard, there may be some misbehavior in contact with that duchess."

"What does this have to do with helping us sell the loot?" Leo said puzzled.

"It's very simple. If we really want to do something to the Duchess, he feels that the two of us alone are not enough, so there must be an accomplice." Sylvia smiled and explained: "He helped you sell The spoils of war, I'm afraid we don't want us to leave Geralt's side and go outside to contact the so-called accomplices. As long as we are caught, no matter how big the conspiracy is, it will be useless. So, if my guess is not bad, he should also be with Geralt and the others. One of the people found a person who watched us."

"I think I know who is watching?" After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo also noticed an abnormal situation outside, and saw Angulane lying on a tree secretly. , looking at the room here, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "We should explain the situation to them directly to avoid misunderstandings."

With that said, he got up and was going to tell Geralt about their situation.

"Don't!" Sylvia stopped him and said, "We don't have anything to do during this time anyway, so we can find something to do so as not to be bored."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo instinctively wanted to object, because his rationality reminded him all the time that such an approach would only create chaos, but the ordinary people's emotions that Leo had just become familiar with agreed with Sylvia's idea. proposed, and emotion seemed to take over, suppressing the idea of ​​explaining the situation to Geralt.

Just like that, Leo and Sylvia pretended not to know anything, packed their bags, and went outside the house.

Everyone else had already packed their things. After Geralt asked about Regil's whereabouts, he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Dandelion to lead the way to Bellan Manor.

The location of Bellan Manor is right next to Lake Selavi. Because it is a holiday manor, the surrounding scenery is naturally extraordinary. In order to avoid being destroyed by people, the Duke of Toussaint used the lake fairy as an excuse , issued a decree prohibiting the reclamation of land next to Lake Serawi for plantations.

It is precisely because of this decree that the landscape of virgin forests around Lake Serawi is still maintained, and it has become the preferred place for locals to visit.

However, although Lake Seravi can maintain the original landscape very well, it also makes the forest around Lake Seravi a habitat for those monsters.

Because the water veins around Lake Seravi are well developed, and various small rivers and streams flow in the land at the foot of Gaogong Mountain. After cultivating cold-resistant grapes, this place has also been developed into a vineyard. The monsters here were either wiped out or driven away. Except for a small number of these monsters who migrated to the deeper depths of the Gaogong Mountains, most of them moved to the area around Lake Serawi, which was preserved because of the ban. Down inside the primeval forest.

The locals naturally knew that they could safely pass through the forest and reach the shores of Lake Seravi just along the periphery of the Duke's manor, because the Duke's manor would let the Duke's guards clean up the monsters in the manor and nearby forests from time to time.

But there are exceptions to everything. There are always some outsiders who are reluctant to part with the little commission, hire locals to take a safe road, and take the risk of crossing the body. These outsiders are lucky enough to escape alive, and those who are unlucky will die directly in the city. Besieged by forest monsters, become food for monsters.

Now Leo, Geralt and the others are such miserly outsiders, and like their predecessors, they encountered many monsters not long after entering the forest.

However, this is not because they are stingy with the guide commissions given to the locals, nor is it because they ask for trouble to deliberately pass through the forest inhabited by a large number of monsters, it is entirely because Dandelion arrived at the forest next to Lake Seravi At that time, it means that he knows a shortcut, and he does not need to take the long way around and take the road next to the forest, but go directly through the forest to the Duke's Beran Manor.

At that time, Geralt, who knew Dandelion very well, said that it was unreliable and that he should take a safer path, but then Angulane saw some members of the Chifeng Mercenary Group in a nearby town, which made everyone feel that walking in the forest Shortcuts may be more suitable, even though Leo and Sylvia have repeatedly stated that they are capable of dealing with the Chifeng mercenary group, everyone thinks it is better to take the forest shortcut.

After all, there are only two people, Leo and Sylvia. If the Chifeng mercenary group has a large number of people, the two of them cannot take care of them. Once the war starts, the family that is with them may suffer.

However, after entering the forest and being besieged by monsters several times, everyone began to regret why they didn't choose to take the avenue, but believed the nonsense of Dandelion, who has always been unreliable, and took some shortcuts.

"Continuing like this is not a solution, let me perform a witchcraft to solve this problem!" After splitting a giant centipede, Leo's mental network looked around and found that there were still many monsters waiting for an opportunity to observe , then turned to Geralt and said.

"Will that witchcraft cause a lot of damage?" Geralt asked with some concern.

Leo explained: "No, it will only scare away those monsters."

Geralt nodded in agreement with Leo's proposal, and then Leo asked everyone not to look at him, and then used the power of nightmare to adjust the energy breath on his body, and the shape of a stone throne emerged in his mind.

In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze, the rustling sound of the monsters moving disappeared, and then the earth shook slightly, and everyone could feel the surrounding monsters crazily moving away from them as if they were fleeing.

Unlike Cassirer, Mirva, Angullan and other ordinary people who can only feel an invisible power emanating from Leo, Geralt, who is a source warlock, can clearly feel the terrifying aura from Leo. , this terrifying aura surpassed any existence he had seen, even the most powerful warlock he had ever seen was as tiny as an ant in front of this terrifying aura, he could even feel that this terrifying aura not only brought The pressure on the mind and soul, even feeling for a long time, the mind and soul will be distorted by this terrifying breath.

However, Leo quickly dispelled the illusion of the stone throne in his mind, relieved the energy fluctuations on his body, and let everyone return to normal.

At this time, everyone sat on the ground regardless of their image, and even Sylvia was affected and had to grab the saddle so as not to let her body fall to the side. Geralt landed on the ground with his sword and pestle, looking at him with a complicated expression. Leo said in a deep voice, "Lord Leo, you are really scary."
