The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the Emperor Nilfgaard stood still, he tidied up his clothes calmly, then looked at Leo, and said, "I know you, the foreigner Leo, the companion of the Knight of Light, a knight more terrifying than the Knight of Light .”

Leo looked at the other party calmly, did not give any response, pulled the rein, turned the horse's head, and headed in the direction Geralt and the others left.

"You are such a rude fellow!" Emperor Nilfgaard frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you?"

There was a rush of horseshoes in the distance. It seemed that the army of the Nilfgaard Empire saw their emperor being released from a distance and was rushing towards this side.

Leo, who should have left immediately, reined in his horse and stopped leaving. He didn't worry about the approaching Nilfgaardian army at all, but looked back at Emperor Nilfgaard calmly, and said, "Are you planning to leave?" How to retaliate?"

"For example, I will send troops to Toussaint." Emperor Nilfgaard said.

Leo looked at each other as if looking at a fool, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Taussaint seems to be a subsidiary country of the Nilfgaard Empire, right? You use to send troops to your subsidiary country, Don't you think it's ridiculous to take revenge on me, a foreigner?"

Emperor Nilfgaard's face was a little ugly, just like what Leo said, what he said just now was indeed extremely ridiculous.

At this time, the army of the Nilfgaardian Empire had arrived near the two of them. The Emperor Nilfgaard walked towards his army. With the support of a knight, he got on his horse, and the surrounding troops also put their hands on their weapons. Come on, it seems that as long as he gives an order, the offender in front of him will be hacked to death.

However, the Emperor Nilfgaard did not order the attack, but said: "You and the Knight of Light come to the Nilfgaard Empire! I will give you the treatment that Anna Henrietta will never be able to give you."

After hearing this, Leo smiled, did not give any response, and drove away directly, acting very contemptuous.

"Your Majesty, do you want to..." At this moment, the former personal knight rode to Emperor Nilfgaard and asked.

"No need." Emperor Nilfgaard shook his head and rejected the proposal, not saying that he didn't want to take revenge on Leo, but that he felt that if he did something, he would probably be the one who would be humiliated in the end, because The attitude and self-confidence shown by Leo just now made him realize that the information he had collected before might be true.

This also made him curious about Fran, a country he had never heard of. Two random people possessed such amazing strength and talent. At the same time, he also felt a sense of crisis and felt the need to speed up his plan.

Leo was not interested in knowing what Emperor Nilfgaard's mood was at the moment. Through his extraordinary sense of smell, Leo galloped in the direction they left along with the body scent left by Sylvia.

After walking for about forty or fifty minutes, he came to a small village, and Sylvia and the others were just waiting outside the village. When they saw Leo's figure, they all greeted Leo. The two little girls, Gulan and Xili, still raised their hands vigorously and shook them, fearing that Leo would not see them.

"How's the matter?" After meeting, Sylvia asked for everyone.

"I let him go on the way, but he was picked up by his army, and no one was sent to follow up." Leo briefly explained the situation, then turned to Geralt and the others, and said, "But I don't know Will he send someone to chase him halfway, you'd better leave the Nilfgaardian Empire as soon as possible."

"You?" Geralt sensitively heard the meaning of Leo's words, and asked, "Aren't you and Sylvia going with us?"

"No!" Leo shook his head, patted the anti-magic metal box on which Night God's sigh was placed, and said, "We have found what we need, and we are going back."

"Go back? Fran?" Geralt asked.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded.

At this time, Cassirer also said: "I will also be separated from you."

"Are you going to separate too?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon they understood that Cassirer planned to return to the capital of the Nilfgaardian Empire.

So everyone objected again and again, only Ciri acted calmly as if she didn't care about the dangers that Cassirer would encounter after leaving, or she just wanted Cassirer to leave, because Cassirer was also the same for her. a nightmare.

Geralt said with a worried face: "You are crazy, if you go back like this, the emperor you attached will blame you for the humiliation of being held hostage, and also blame you for not capturing Ciri. body, you are looking for death when you go back!"

Cassirer didn't refute, just smiled.

Everyone and Cassirer have been together for a long time, know what kind of character the other party is, and understand that it is useless to persuade him, so they can only wish him good luck, and said that if he leaves the Nifergaard Empire, he will come The northern kingdoms went to them.

So, the group broke up in this small village. Geralt and the others headed north to Claremont. It seemed that they were planning to go to Claremont to settle accounts. Cassirer turned around and walked towards the road he came from. , See if you can catch up with Emperor Nilfgaard's army.

But Leo and Sylvia didn't go north, they took a detour and went to Tegamo, a big nearby town. They decided to let Leo absorb the few broken pages while wandering in the Nilfgaard Empire. Because Leo felt that as long as all the broken pages were absorbed, the thick fog that brought them to this world would appear.

Because they could control the time to leave, Leo and Sylvia were not in a hurry. They wandered around the cities of the Nilfgaardian Empire, taking on some missions to earn some commissions, and solving some bandits at the same time. In addition to being able to get rewards , They can also get a lot of extra income from the bandits.

After getting the money, they will buy three things with the money, one is various materials needed for medicine and alchemy, the other is the magic book of this world, and the last one is anti-magic metal.

The materials they bought would be made by Leo into potions and wonders with various functions in the first place. The most effective of these wonders will be equipped on the body, and the poor ones will find opportunities to sell to others at a high price.

In addition, relying on more and more exquisite alchemy, Leo remodeled the king and queen. While retaining the power of the weapon, it also greatly weakened the recoil of the weapon to the extent that Sylvia could use it. These two weapons were handed over to Sylvia for use.

Although Sylvia has a hand crossbow, its power is obviously not at the same level as that of the king and queen. When Sylvia brought these two weapons to Jean Valjean for modification, she had already treated these two weapons. The weapon is extremely coveted, but it's a pity that even Jean Valjean can only modify it, not imitate it.

Now that Leo gave her the use of these two weapons, she was naturally willing to accept it, but she was worried that Leo's long-range attack ability would be affected without these two weapons.

However, when she saw Leo using crystallized soul gun and magic and spiritual powers such as Leo and thunder gun, she didn't think about it any more.

As for the magic book, it was mainly bought by Leo at the beginning to see if he could find out the content that could be converted into psionic skills, but later, Sylvia found that the spells of these warlocks seemed to be helpful for her to master the current power.

Prior to this, Sylvia had always been passive in how to use the power on her body, because she found that after the power on her body was lifted, her previous methods and experience in controlling power would be invalid, so now she can only While the body is adapting to the new power, it is also finding ways to control its own power.

When she was in Toussaint, she found some methods. For example, she can control herself to exude affinity and deterrence, which is of great benefit to her in commanding the entire Knights of Light. In addition, she also mastered some witches. The magic-like power generated by the power, but the power of these magic-like powers is not very strong.

At that time, she also wanted to find a solution to her own problems from these magic books, but at that time her attention was all dragged up by other things, and she didn't have much time to read these magic books.

But now she and Leo are wandering around the Nilfgaard Empire in a playful way, and spend a lot of time reading these books every day. After she settled down, she quickly found a lot of useful content from the books. Therefore, she also began to pay attention to these magic books.

However, the price of these magic books is very expensive. The commissions and loot they get from doing tasks and killing bandits are not enough to make them buy so many magic books. Fortunately, the wizards and wonders made by Leo can be sold at a high price , barely able to reach a balance of payments.

As for the anti-magic metal that Leo wants to obtain, not only does the world of Vinylon not have this special metal, even in the universe, it has never been heard that there is such a metal that can produce supernatural powers such as psionic energy. Such a big ban effect.

Among other things, just this box made of anti-magic metal can completely isolate the influence of the broken pages of Ye Shen's sigh, and the magical effect of this metal can be seen.

However, this metal is not without flaws, and its scope of action is the biggest problem.

Leo once tried to restore the pair of anti-magic metal handcuffs that held Ciri before, and then put them on his hands.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that his hands had become a restricted area for extraordinary power. Not only all kinds of divine power in his body, but also spiritual power could not enter that place, as if there was an unbreakable wall there.

But other than the hands, the psionic power and the power of the imprint of the gods will not be affected in any way. If he wants to, he can still use various powers without hands.

The limitation of this anti-magic metal makes this handcuffs have limitations, and also makes it impossible for these handcuffs to restrain Leo, but for warlocks and mages in this world, these handcuffs are fatal, because they need to use If you get your hands, losing your hands is equivalent to losing the ability to cast spells, so as long as the anti-magic metal handcuffs cuff warlocks and mages, there is no possibility for them to break free.

It is precisely because of the strong confinement effect on warlocks and mages that most of this anti-magic metal is controlled by the official hands of the Nilfgaardian Empire. The people who bought these things include warlocks and mages who don't want the anti-magic metal to fall into the hands of others, and some organizations that are extremely hostile to warlocks and mages.

It is difficult for Leo and Sylvia as individuals to buy this special metal, so most of the time they spend money to buy news, and then get this kind of metal through other means.

Now Leo has not thought of the specific usage of this metal, but has coated a layer of anti-magic metal on the weapon, and made some arrows and short knives of anti-magic metal, so that they can be used when dealing with enemies with extraordinary power.

On the other hand, Leo and Sylvia did not hide their identities while walking in the Nilfgaard Empire, and they could not hide anything. The gorgeous armor on the two of them was so eye-catching that it was difficult not to recognize them.

And when they robbed those who possessed anti-magic metals, they also did not hide their identities, so that all organizations in the entire Nilfgaardian Empire knew that the Knights of Light had come here to snatch anti-magic metals. Metal organizations and individuals have become insecure, for fear of being targeted by Leo and Silvia.

In the face of Leo and Sylvia's bad behavior, some people thought about resisting and gathered a large number of people to surround them. As a result, except for a few people who escaped, everyone else died in their hands.

Later, the local governor and army of the Nilfgaardian Empire also arrested two people because of the emperor's order, and if the number of arresters they sent was too small, they would be killed by the two directly, and if there were too many people , the two will avoid these people again, go to other places, or wait for these people to separate and then break them one by one.

Soon the governor and officials of the local government also gave up the arrest of Leo, not only because they could not be arrested, but also because the loss of personnel was too much. Made law and order throughout the region.

So they turned a blind eye to the two of them, and even when the two of them entered the town, they didn't even think about arresting them. Instead, they asked the patrolling soldiers to keep away from them, so as not to conflict with them.

In this way, Leo and Sylvia wandered around the Nilfgaard Empire for more than ten days, bought dozens of magic books, and robbed a box of anti-magic metals. Put the crate on the saddle of another pack horse.

And in the past ten days, Leo has also absorbed a few pages of the night god's sigh, and now only the last one is left to be absorbed in these two days, and in this state, he It also sensed where the dense fog that could help them return to the world of Velen would appear.
