The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After confirming that the item was in Leo's hands, Sylvia mentioned that Leo and her wanted to force the devil out of the eyeballs, and then extract the devil's secret from the devil's mouth.

Hearing these words, Fringilla was completely shocked, looking at Sylvia and Leo as if she was looking at two lunatics, and couldn't help but speak out what she was thinking. : "You guys are crazy! Do you know that it's a demon? It's not a little monster like a ghost that appears when the celestial spheres meet."

"Of course we know what it is." Sylvia said calmly: "Don't you think this is a good opportunity to learn about the devil? Now the devil is at its weakest, and with Leo beside us There will be no danger."

Hearing Sylvia's justification, Fringilla was about to refute, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, and a pensive look appeared on her face, obviously she also felt what Sylvia said in her heart. Makes sense, now is indeed a good opportunity to learn about demons.

"How do you plan to deal with this demon in the end?" Fringila asked after thinking for a long time.

Sylvia didn't answer, but looked at Leo, and Leo said: "If you can kill him, you should kill him, but unless you pull the devil's body into this world, you won't be able to kill him at all." might kill him, so it's best to send him back to where he came from."

Fringila nodded and said, "If I want to send the demon back, I can't do it alone. I need to find someone who has research experience in demons."

"Can outsiders come in now?" Geralt, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned and asked.

"Of course not. The wind and snow outside are so heavy that even the portal can't pass through." Fringila shook her head and said, "You may know that person. He is Alto from Blue Mountain. In Toussaint."

"Alto of Blue Mountain, I know him. I've read the Monster Encyclopedia compiled by him." Geralt nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "I thought he died on Thaned Island."

"No, although he used to be a member of the Brotherhood of Warlocks, but he is not keen on power, he only likes to study what he likes in the library of Thaned Island, so when the incident on Thaned Island happened, neither side He is the object to be cleared." Fringila explained: "However, after the incident on Shaned Island, the Brotherhood of Warlocks was disbanded, and he also wandered outside. Because he is more like a scholar, and he doesn't have much to live outside. Because of his ability, it was a bit miserably, and after wandering to Nilfgaard, he was caught by the hunters there, and then I met him, rescued him, and brought him here."

"Does Alto from Blue Mountain know demons well?" Sylvia asked curiously.

Fringilla replied: "Not just demons, he understands any monster."

Leo asked, "How long will it take to find him?"

"One day at most." Fringila said: "He doesn't like the annoying Bauklan, so he chose a remote elf ruin as his residence. It takes at least a day from him to Bauklan."

In this way, Leo and the others decided to wait for Alto from the Blue Mountain to come, and find a way to force the devil out of the eyeballs, then imprison the devil, and torture the secrets about the devil from the devil's mouth.

"That's right! There is one more thing." After deciding on the devil, Sylvia suddenly thought of another thing, pointed to the garden outside, and said, "In your garden, the one in the center of the fountain Was the statue preceded by a stone pillar?"

"Yes, it's an ugly stone pillar! How do you know?" Fringila was stunned, nodded in admission, and asked again.

This time it was Leo's turn to confirm: "Are there a lot of monster reliefs carved on that stone pillar?"

"Yes." Fringilla nodded again, and soon realized that the stone pillars in her garden might have something to do with Leo's adventure in the underground ruins.

Afterwards, Leo briefly talked about the magic circle used to summon monsters in the Elven Kingdom.

Hearing that her garden turned out to be a summoning magic circle, Fringilla's face became extremely ugly, but at the same time she felt extremely grateful.

Because when she first built the manor, she thought the stone pillar was too ugly and moved it away. Otherwise, if one day the magic circle suddenly activated for some unknown reason and summoned a large number of monsters, she would Not only would her life be in danger, but she might even be considered to be doing some dangerous magic experiment afterwards to summon the monster. In that case, no matter how eloquent she was, she couldn't explain it clearly, and at that time she His noble status might not be able to save her.

"I will destroy the stone pillar as soon as possible." Furingilla said firmly after recovering a little.

Sylvia stopped her and said, "Wait, that's not what we meant. It might be better to keep this thing."

Geralt sensed Sylvia and Leo's thoughts very keenly, and said, "Do you want to summon monsters through this summoning magic circle?"

"You're crazy!" Fringilla glared at Leo and Sylvia angrily, and said, "This is Bauclair, the center of Toussaint. If anything happens here, Toussaint will be destroyed."

"Don't be nervous, of course we know how serious the consequences will be." Sylvia smiled very calmly and said, "However, is it really as dangerous as you think? As long as we are properly prepared, there will be no danger at all." Dangerous, don't forget that Leo killed so many summoned monsters underground. Those summoned monsters are very rare materials, which cannot be obtained in other places."

Obviously, Sylvia's words moved Fringira's heart a little. If Snyder Island was still there, Fringira might not have any interest in this proposal, because you can buy any Alchemy materials and spell-casting materials, but now that Shaned Island has been destroyed, it has become extremely difficult to collect materials.

A top sorceress like her is not bad, she joined the sorceress assembly hall, and she can get some resources in the sorceress assembly hall, although it is far from comparable to that of Shaned Island, but compared to other warlocks and wizards now. , but already very good.

But even so, she still couldn't get many rare materials, which forced her to stop some of the spells and potions she had studied before, so now she is very eager for all kinds of rare materials.

Although she may not be able to use the materials obtained from the summoned monsters, she can use these materials to exchange scarce materials with other people. In the current environment, ordinary materials can still be bought with money, but they are scarce. Even if you have money, you can't buy those materials, you can only exchange them.

"Follow me!" After thinking for a long time, Fringila finally made a decision, and said in a deep voice.

"Wait!" Geralt grabbed Fringilla's arm and said, "I don't think this is a good idea. You must know that these summoning magic circles were arranged by the elven kingdom to die with the enemy. No one knows. After these summoning magic circles are in operation, something will be summoned from them. Don't forget, in the underground ruins, this kind of summoning magic circles even summon demons. If we..."

Before Geralt could finish speaking, Leo stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, with me, the things you worry about won't happen." Then he said, "Besides, we're just going to Look at that stone pillar, I didn't plan to summon it now, and I still don't have a clue as to whether or not the summoning magic circle can work, and whether it will be able to summon something in the end is still unknown, so you are worrying a little too much now. And I don't think Fringilla will activate this summoning magic circle without any protective measures."

Fringira rolled her eyes at Geralt and said, "Of course, this is my home. I don't want to be like those lunatics, destroying my home for so-called experiments."

Seeing that the conversation has reached this point, Geralt couldn't say anything more, let go of Fringilla's arm, and then walked towards the warehouse of the manor with Leo and the others under Fringella's leadership. Go, there are piled up some valuable things in Fringila's view, and she is reluctant to throw them away.

After arriving at the warehouse, Fringila called for the housekeeper and opened the warehouse door, only to see a large number of waste and old items piled up in a mess in the warehouse, so densely packed that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Just when Fringila was about to ask the servants to clean out all the things in the warehouse, Leo reached out to stop him and said, "There is no need to clean up, the stone pillar is not in the warehouse."

Just now he had checked the situation inside through the spiritual network, and the stone pillar was not inside.

Fringila didn't know how Leo knew that the stone pillar wasn't in the warehouse, so she asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

"Very sure." Leo said in a deep voice.

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly interjected and said, "If you are talking about the stone pillar on the garden fountain before, master, I know where it is."

"You know?" Fringilla frowned and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper reminded: "Master, you forgot. Two years ago, Baron Josh borrowed some relics of the elf kingdom from you. At that time, you sent them to him with that stone pillar, and told him that the things were given to him. Pay it back."

"Baron Josh?" Fringila thought for a while, and said, "Is that the Baron Josh whose family committed suicide a year ago?"

"Yes, that's Baron Josh." The housekeeper nodded and replied.

At this time, Fringilla's face suddenly became a little ugly, as if thinking of something bad.

And Geralt, who was paying attention to his lover's state, seemed to have thought of something, and said, "This Baron Josh will commit suicide suddenly, so it must be related to that stone pillar, right?"

Fringilla glared angrily at the unrestrained Geralt, then waved to the housekeeper, indicating that she could leave, and then complained to Geralt: "Don't you know what? What can you say, but what can’t be said? If your words spread out, some people will think that I deliberately used evil witchcraft to kill Baron Josh’s family.”

Geralt knew that he had done something wrong just now, and he didn't refute it. He just smiled apologetically, as if he was letting Fringilla beat and scold him.

Seeing Geralt like this, Fringila couldn't say anything more, not to mention there were two outsiders, Sylvia and Leo, so she changed the topic back to the stone pillar and said: " Baron Josh is Anna's distant cousin, and I also have some kinship with me. He is from Nilfgaard. He only moved to Toussaint three years ago, and then bought an old manor on the edge of the Carloberta forest. The old manor was under reconstruction, and it was only completed two years ago. After the completion, he was planning to hold a reception in the manor. At that time, he needed some relics from the elf kingdom to decorate the reception in the manor, so he came to me. I have never liked that A stone pillar, so it was given to Baron Josh at that time."

As she spoke, she stopped, thinking that this was not the place to talk, and led everyone back to the study, poured herself a glass of wine, and said while drinking: "A year ago Baron Josh suddenly went crazy in the manor, killed All the people in the manor including his family and servants, because this incident is too weird, plus some other reasons, it is only announced that Baron Josh committed suicide. After tidying up, I bought another wine merchant who came from a foreign country to settle here. As a result, the wine merchant also went crazy and killed the people in the manor after a month of moving in. Because the wine merchant had no heir, the manor was also confiscated In the name of the Countess, I also went to check it at the time, and found nothing abnormal, but the news about the manor had already spread in Toussaint, so no one would buy the manor, and the manor fell into disuse. "

"Are the baron and the wine merchant strong? Can they kill people in a manor alone?" Geralt asked suddenly.

Fringilla shook her head and said: "This is also a weird place. In fact, the health of the baron and the vintner is very bad, and they are worse than ordinary people. It is very difficult to kill a person, let alone a whole The people of the manor."

"Let me handle this matter!" Leo took the initiative to stand up and said: "If the matter in that manor is really related to the stone pillar, I also have experience in dealing with it. If not, I will see if I can find out the problem, no matter what. It is also possible to move the stone pillars out of the manor."

Although Geralt was also very interested in this matter and looked eager to try, she was stopped by Fringilla because she had gone to the manor to investigate the death of Baron Josh and the wine merchant, although she did not She could find anything, but instinctively felt that it was very dangerous there, so she quickly left the manor, and suggested to the Duchess to abandon it.

She felt that such a sorceress felt dangerous, let alone a witcher like Geralt, and would only become a burden to Leo if she went there. However, she did not express her thoughts directly, but used a The tactful words saved Geralt a little face.
