The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Rest! This kind of thing is not for us to intervene." Leo did not let the topic of world composition continue, because judging from the situation in the past two days, such topics eventually became the two of them without exception. Arguing, no one can convince anyone.

Sylvia and Tessa Moka were also aware of the debate surrounding this topic, and no one could convince the other, so they followed Leo's suggestion, and each found a warm place to lie down next to the stove and adjusted their emotions and state of mind, and soon entered a state of deep sleep.

The way the two of them adjust their sleep was taught by Leo. This is mainly the sleep method used by ordinary soldiers of the Earth Federation on the front line of the battlefield. On the front line, when the supply of sleep medicine is insufficient, ordinary people will use it. This method is used to enter deep sleep and restore energy, otherwise the high pressure on the cosmic battlefield is enough to drive any ordinary person crazy.

At that time, Leo was a cyborg and didn't need to use this kind of sleep method, but after staying with ordinary warriors for a long time, he also naturally learned this method, and it can be used now.

Like now, even if he and Sylvia don't need to rest due to physical fitness and other reasons, they can still adjust their sleep through this method, and another advantage of this method is that it will not affect their vigilance to the outside world. There was a little movement outside, and they were able to get out of the deep sleep state very quickly.

Leo also fell asleep in the same way, but before falling asleep, he carefully arranged a few rune traps around the house to avoid any accidents.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but a ray of light flashed in front of him woke him up from his sleep, and he instinctively stood up from the ground quickly, adjusting his whole body to a defensive state.

However, what he saw in front of him made him stunned, because he found that he was no longer in the house of the Bailu tribe ruins, but beside a lake surrounded by forests, and the surrounding climate was not that extreme. The cold world of ice and snow, on the contrary, seems to be in the warm south.

However, compared to the surrounding climate, the lake in front of him is more eye-catching, because bursts of light are emanating from the lake at this moment. Even if Leo has not turned on his spiritual vision, he can feel the power contained in the light just by perception alone. The energy is definitely comparable to the core of an asteroid.

Leo's eyes showed a little surprise and doubt about the abnormal situation in front of him, he suddenly seemed to think of something, looked around, and said loudly: "Since you have brought me here, but you are hiding, could it be that you are idle?" Bored, do you want to play games with me?"

"I'm not as leisurely as you, wandering around." After Leo's voice fell, another voice sounded in the forest, and then the trees not far from him seemed to have turned into some kind of mollusk The tree-like trunks moved and slanted to the sides, forming a tree-shaped passage with other trees behind, while the white deer stepped on the ground made of vine trunks and strolled to Leo.

"I didn't expect that your strength has increased so much in such a short period of time." Bailu looked at Leo, as if he had seen through Leo's body, and said, "To be honest, I am also surprised now that you actually You have found the right path and truly stepped into our world. I believe that you will be able to become one of us in a short time based on your situation.” He paused again and said, “Of course, if you choose If you make a mistake, you may become one of those guys."

"Did you come to me for something?" Leo asked straightforwardly, ignoring what the other party said.

"It's nothing." Seeing that Leo didn't react as he imagined, he couldn't help but startled, but he quickly returned to normal, and shook his head: "I just found that someone broke into my field Inside, so I took a look curiously, I didn't expect to see you."

Although Bailu's tone was very natural, Leo didn't have any expression of confidence on his face, and he didn't ask any more questions, just staring at him.

"You're such an unlikable guy!" Bai Lu grinned, and then stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I'm looking for you in the hope that you can do me a favor."

Leo asked, "What can I do for you?"

Bailu said: "Go to Winterlin City, the capital of the Faran Empire, and help me steal something."

"Steal what?" Leo asked again.

"A ring." Bailu said in a deep voice.

Hearing Bailu's words, Leo was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "The ring you are talking about is the contract ring signed by the Royal Family of Farland and your Black Forest, right?"

Bailu didn't answer, but judging from his expression, he obviously acquiesced to Leo's guess.

"Could you please take me back?" Leo said without thinking.

Bailu ignored Leo's request, but continued: "Don't you want to hear the conditions I offered?"

"You don't need to listen, because there is no condition for me to die." Leo said bluntly.

Bailu explained: "How could it be to die? With your current strength, there are not many people in the world of Velen who can pose a threat to you, and the ring is usually not worn in the hands of the emperor, but only stored in the treasure house. You Just go to the royal treasury..."

Leo interrupted Bai Lu without hesitation, and said, "You don't need to say anything, I won't agree."

"No, you will agree!" Bailu didn't try to persuade, but directly lured him: "I allow you to enter my treasure house and choose anything at will."

Leo smiled, but didn't take Bailu's words to heart.

Bailu didn't care about Leo's attitude at the moment, and continued: "In addition to the items that hide the mysteries of the gods, there are also a lot of things that can help you improve your strength in my treasury, and there are many books that record the mysteries of this world. "As he spoke, he lowered his head and approached Leo, and said, "I still have a lot of items left by outsiders."

Hearing Bailu's words, Leo frowned slightly. Although he had to say that he was indeed a little moved, it was not enough.

Bailu made another condition: "This matter is just an entrustment, not a transaction that must be completed. It doesn't matter if you don't complete it, or even don't do it."

Hearing this, Leo had some thoughts, but he still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked: "Since that ring is so important to you, why didn't you send someone else to get it? I believe that among the people you know, there is absolutely more suitable than me."

"It is true that there are people who are more suitable than you, and the success rate is far greater than you, but the problem is that I don't trust them," Bai Lu seemed to think of something when he said this, with a disdainful expression similar to that of people on his face, and then Turning to look at Leo again, he said, "Compared to those guys, I trust you more."

"Because I'm an Englishman?" Leo asked.

"No, because you are an outsider." Bailu said bluntly.

Leo knew very well that the outsider in Bailu's mouth had two meanings. One might be that he had no conflict of interest with the French royal family, and the other might mean that he had another identity.

Leo thought for a while, and then asked curiously: "I remember that the ring was a contract between your Black Forest and the Faran royal family. Now it seems that you don't intend to follow the contract anymore, because the Faran Empire has declined. or other reasons?"

"Of course not." Bailu shook his head and said: "When the contract was signed, the royal family of Faran did not exist, and the person who made the contract was just an ordinary primitive person. As long as we are willing, even if that person has nothing , we can also make him the most honorable person in the world."

"So the decline of the Faran Empire is not the reason why you plan to break the contract." Leo took the other party's words, thought for a while, looked at the white deer and said, "Is it because of the changes in the world?"

Bailu didn't answer this time, but as if changing the subject, he said, "I'll take you to pick out things from the treasure house first, so that you can have a clear idea, so that you won't worry about me replacing the things in the treasure house."

"I didn't think so..." Leo was about to refute Bai Lu's words, but he quickly closed his mouth and looked around.

I saw that the original scenery of the lake and forest had turned into a huge palace in an instant just now. This palace was a full hundred meters high, surrounded by criss-crossing stone pillars supporting the roof, and there were hundreds of them, each of which was thick. It takes six or seven people to hug it smoothly. At the end of the palace is a huge golden gate. Bursts of light shine from the gate, refracting repeatedly on the mirror-like metal surface at the top of the palace, illuminating the entire palace.

In this palace, there are not only white deer and Leo, but also a large group of strange half-human, half-deer creatures living here. The lower body of these deer people is a deer, and the upper body is human. None of the people are male, and all of them are female deer people. If you don't look at the lower body and the pair of horns, the appearance of these deer people is definitely the top beauties in the world of Velen.

The appearance of the white deer in the palace immediately attracted the attention of these deer people. They all stood up from the ground, gathered quickly, saluted the white deer respectfully, and then looked down at Leo curiously.

Each of these deer people is very tall, more than three meters high, and some are even four meters high. If the antlers are counted, they are all over four meters high. Moreover, they are all naked, and they have not exposed their bodies in front of a man. feel embarrassed and ashamed.

"Master, is this a human being? It's so small!" At this moment, a deer man with the largest antlers on his head and complex patterns on the surface stared at Leo, couldn't help being curious, and asked.

Hearing what the deer man said, Leo couldn't help frowning, turned his head and looked at the deer man, and then shifted his gaze to the patterns on the antlers, quickly memorizing the shapes and changes of these patterns in his heart.

"Yes, he is a human being, and he is also my guest." The white deer seems to enjoy the scene of Leo being watched by the deer people, which may be the reason why he brought Leo here instead of directly to the treasure house , but what makes him a little regretful is that Leo didn't show any embarrassing expression. On the contrary, like some scholars in his memory, he looked at his family members with research eyes, that kind of eyes seemed to want to put these deer It seems that people have dissected it.

"Stay back! There's nothing to see." After seeing Leo's performance, Bai Lu felt bored, and after yelling at the deer men around him, he ordered to the one with the biggest antlers. : "Now take us to the treasure house."

"Yes, Lord!" The deer man withdrew his gaze from Leo, responded, and then walked towards the gate at the end of the palace ahead, followed by the white deer, and motioned for Leo to follow.

Leo was about to follow, but he suddenly thought of something and looked behind him.

His gaze passed through the palace entrance behind him, and he saw the scene outside the palace. He saw that the palace seemed to be in the air, and a large number of clouds could be seen around, and then a huge shadow flashed in the clouds.

Leo, who saw the shape of the shadow clearly, couldn't help but startled, and soon realized that the palace he was in was probably in the castle above the head of the golden giant deer, or in a building that looked like a castle, because the huge one just now The shadow is a golden antler.

Leo quickly controlled his emotions, calmed himself down, ignored the affairs outside the palace, and quickly followed the white deer.

Leo's actions naturally couldn't escape Bailu's perception, and he also felt Leo's shocked emotion, and the deer also showed a smug smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with Leo's performance.

However, after Leo followed, he put away his smile and returned to a solemn state.

Soon, they came to the gate at the end of the palace. The deer man stepped forward and stood at the gate. He pressed his antlers against a pattern on the gate, and made a sound that a human throat could not make, and then her antlers A burst of light bloomed, which would echo the light of the gate, and disappear at the same time, and the glowing gate also disappeared together.

After the gate disappeared, the scene behind the gate also came into Leo's eyes. Although Leo was mentally prepared for his vision, he couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw the scene in front of him.

I saw that the palace behind the door was very simple, with no other items or decorations, only crystal shelves one by one, lined up one by one, pushed in, and finally converged at one point in sight, and at the end, with Leo's current vision, he couldn't see it at all. less than.

Each of these crystal shelves is divided into 30 layers and 30 grids. Each grid contains an item. Some items are wrapped in completely transparent crystals, while others are placed naked on the shelf without any protection.

"Now you can pick." Bai Lu turned his head and said to Leo, "Pick one you want."

"Is there no catalog?" Leo asked.

"No." Bailu said with a teasing smile, "I don't know how many things are stored in the treasury, let alone the origin and purpose of these things, so it's useless to ask me, even if I help you The choice is only a matter of luck.”

Leo didn't say anything more, he knew very well that Bailu wanted to see his jokes, so he didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly into this treasure house, and then released the spiritual net, covering the entire treasure house, like It is like walking forward in a stroll, and at the same time through the mental network and brain, quickly analyze all the perceived objects.
