The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After coming out of the Sky Tower, Leo looked back at the 100-meter-tall marble tower and the reliefs of the blindfolded maids on the tower, recalling the feeling just now, and his expression became serious.

After entering Sylvia's room just now, his spiritual sense perception felt a sense of crisis that he had never had before. This sense of crisis made him feel as if a mysterious existence was paying attention to him, just like in that In the illusion, it is as if being paid attention to by the lord of turbidity and lightness, but it is not so intense.

This is why Leo didn't want to stay longer just now and wanted to leave immediately.

He didn't know if Sylvia knew about this mysterious existence, and whether he was deliberately brought into that room, but he didn't like this feeling very much.

Along the way, Leo didn't take the carriage any more, he just walked on the road, heading towards the villa area in the Crescent Lake area. On the way, he also continued to practice the precise control of spiritual energy, gathering the spiritual energy in the palm of his hand, and trying to control it. It changes shape.

Perhaps it was because he was concentrating on doing one thing, he felt that the road was much shorter, and soon came to the villa area of ​​the last quarter moon, because he had already greeted the guards here beforehand, and Leo was not interrogated, so he entered directly In the villa area.

At this time, the old man was not asleep, and he was still very energetic. When he saw Leo coming in, he smiled and asked him in a daze, "Did you see it?"

"You mean the Silver Moon Tower." Leo tried to answer.

"That's right, it's the Silver Moon Tower!" The old man nodded and said, "When Rupert built the Silver Moon Tower, the engineer in charge of the construction once came to me and asked for my opinion. At that time, I saw the appearance of this tower. At that time, I knew that the purpose of building this tower was for No. 9 Golden Oak Street, so I bought the castle villa one step ahead of schedule."

"What's the use of that tower?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"That's a wizard's tower." The old man waved to Leo, and drove the wheelchair towards the study.

This study room is not big, and the decoration is very old-fashioned and old. It can be seen that it has been used for a long time. The only thing worth noting is the bookshelf device in the room.

All the bookshelves are placed in a mechanical device and placed on the roof. As long as the old man sits in front of the desk and moves the levers next to his left hand to different positions, the corresponding bookshelves will fall from the roof. It landed in front of the old man, and the position was just right for the old man to reach out and grab it.

Although this kind of mechanical device is very old to Leo, it is undeniable that the design is exquisite, and Leo also found that the driving machine is not steam power, nor electric energy, but another kind of power that Leo feels Energy similar to psionic energy.

The old man could see Leo's attention to this mechanical device, and explained with a smile: "This is made by a friend, it's very good! At least Vashki doesn't have to listen to me, an old guy, calling me around."

"Hmph!" Waschi snorted dissatisfiedly when he heard the old man teasing her.

The old man stuck out his tongue playfully, then pulled the lever in his left hand, controlled a bookshelf to fall, pulled out a book from the bookshelf, spread it out on the table, flipped through two pages, and pointed to the pattern on the page Dao: "There are many kinds of wizard towers, some are experimental wizard towers specially used as laboratories, some are dedicated to cultivating rare species of wizard towers, and more are beacon wizard towers for exploring the realm of gods. The Silver Moon Tower is A Beacon Wizard Tower."

Leo took the book and looked at what the old man was referring to. These contents were written in common English. Because there were no more mysterious contents involved, it was easy to read.

The book said that many ancient wizards tried to pry into the mysteries of the gods, and they would boldly enter the realm of the gods. This realm may be the kingdom of the gods, or it may be the dreamland of the gods.

It’s just that the world there is chaotic and disorderly for wizards or people in the normal world, and it’s easy to get lost when entering there, so a beacon is needed to mark the location, so the ancient wizards created a special way to Explore the Beacon Wizard's Tower in the realm of the gods.

Leo saw this part of the content, and he already had a general understanding of the so-called gods and spirits in this world. To put it bluntly, it is the subspace of this world.

However, what is different from the subspace in the universe where the Earth Federation is located is that the subspace here seems to allow ordinary people to enter, and there are even things in the real world such as countries and cities. The subspaces that can only be entered by those who are capable are different.

"Is what happened at No. 9 Golden Oak Street because of the realm of the gods?" Leo put the book back on the table and asked.

"I don't know." The old man shook his head and said, "Because no one can come out of it, so no one knows what the real situation inside is. However, apart from the folklore, the most widely spread is the Leaning towards accidents caused by ancient wizards."

"Ancient wizard?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "Didn't you say that the ancient wizard has disappeared?"

"It's not the ancient wizards now, but a long time ago, when the center of the French Empire was still on the Western Continent." The old man put the original book back on the bookshelf, and controlled another bookshelf to fall, and took a book from it. The book was opened to a suitable position and placed in front of Leo.

I saw that the text on it was written in Old French, and the content was a nursery rhyme, telling the story of an evil wizard ruling the swamp. Because it was written in Old French, there were not many words, but the content was very detailed .

Seeing that, the old man continued: "Although the people from the investigation team found some clues in the folklore, the governments of various countries felt that such things were too absurd, so they didn't pay attention to them. Later, the black market took the lead and organized people from the dark world to rediscover After investigation, I finally found another version of the folklore, which is this nursery rhyme. Later, from the ancient documents of the night watchman, it was found that there was indeed an ancient wizard who ruled here by the lakeside of the first quarter moon in ancient times and built a city. According to repeated research, the wizard tower of the ancient wizard is located at No. 9 Golden Oak Street."

Leo put down the book in his hand and asked, "What happened to this ancient wizard?"

"Disappeared, disappeared together with the city." The old man said in a deep voice: "The place where it disappeared has become the current Crescent Moon Lake."

"This echoes the folklore again. At a certain time, when the moonlight shines on the lake, you can see the city of that year from the reflected moonlight." After telling the folklore, Leo said doubtfully: "Reflecting the moonlight Has anyone looked into being able to see City Visions?"

The old man responded: "Of course we investigated, but no one has seen this situation."

Leo pondered for a while, and said, "Have you found out the reason for the first disappearance that year?"

The old man shook his head and said: "No, all the parties involved in the past have disappeared, and there is no clue." But he changed the topic and said: "However, someone investigated Andrew, the businessman who built No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and found that he used to It is a believer of an evil god called the source of the unclean. So some people suspect that when Andrew held a banquet, he was also performing some kind of evil god ritual, so it resonated with the ancient wizard tower that disappeared that year, and everyone was drawn into the gods in the field."

Leo had already understood the general situation, but he was still a little puzzled and asked, "Why did you choose me?"

"The magic power on you is one of them. To be honest, I have seen some powerful wizards in the wizarding hall, but the magic power on them is very chaotic, so chaotic that it makes people feel uncomfortable to get close to them." The old man's expression also became serious Get up, and said in a deep voice: "But you are different, the magic power entangled in you is very pure, I don't know how you got this magic power, but I know that pure magic power can prevent people who enter the realm of gods from being trapped there. Bewildered by the chaos and disorder, see the reality of the realm of the gods."

"Is there another reason?" Leo asked again.

"Feeling." The old man suddenly gave an irrational answer, and said, "I feel that you can unlock the secret of No. 9 Golden Oak Street."

Facing the rather capricious answer from the old man, Leo could only shake his head with a wry smile, scratched his forehead, and said, "Now that is to say, I have already had a competition before I formally contacted No. 9 Golden Oak Street." Rupert Fitz, and this contender has been working on Nine Golden Oak Street for years, more than I..."

"No, no! You misunderstood, this little guy Rupert is not your competitor." The old man shook his head and defended Rupert: "Although Rupert also secretly supported many dark world organizations and power, but he himself despises everything in the dark world, and believes that the development and evolution of our human beings should not rely on these mysterious things, so he values ​​industrial development more."

Leo understood, and said, "That means he built the Silver Moon Tower for someone else? Do you have any information about the Silver Moon Tower?"

"No." The old man shook his head, injected a little refreshing medicine, and said, "The relationship between Rupert and me is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, although I gave you the advice on the matter of No. 9 Golden Oak Street. He created a little obstacle, but I didn't investigate his Silvermoon Castle, you can only get relevant information from other places."

Leo didn't ask why. He asked about the information of Silver Moon Tower just now, and he just wanted to compare the information in the old man's hand with the information obtained tomorrow. Maybe it can be as complementary as those investigation reports.

At this time, Leo thought of another thing, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the situation of the Megaliga Sky Tower?"

"What are you talking about?" The old man was also surprised that Leo would suddenly mention the Sky Tower and asked.

Leo expressed his feelings vaguely: "It's just that after you enter, you always feel that someone is watching you."

Hearing Leo's description, the old man immediately showed surprise, and said with a smile: "I know, someone is watching you with the eyes of the sky."

"Eye of the sky?" Leo looked puzzled.

"A kind of magic, only the high-ranking maids of the Lord of the Sky possess this kind of magic." The old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are not a follower of evil gods, you will be fine."

Although the old man said so, the vigilance in Leo's heart still did not ease, and he could only temporarily bury it in his heart.

"There is one more thing I want to clarify." Leo hesitated for a moment and asked, "I still don't know your identity?"

The old man was also surprised, and asked back: "Don't you know who I am?"

Leo said truthfully: "I don't know, I asked Annie, but she said that if you want me to know, you will tell me yourself."

"Haha! This is really a big misunderstanding. I always thought that Annie had already told me about me when she brought you here, so... a misunderstanding, this is a complete misunderstanding!" The old man couldn't help laughing, laughing His breathing also became rapid, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Vaschi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man inject the medicine, and stretched out his hand to press the old man's chest. It took a while for the old man to recover from his dyspnea.

Leo, who was sitting by the side, could clearly feel a psionic energy emanating from Vashj's palm. He tried to turn on his spiritual vision, and saw that the psionic energy in Vashj's hand formed a strange symbol, constantly radiating outwards. It emits waves of psionic energy that make people feel warm and comfortable.

Leo memorized the symbol and the wavelength of the psionic energy wave, turned off his spiritual vision, and had a general understanding of Vashj's strength in his heart.

Although Vaschi's physical quality may not be as good as his, but the use of spiritual energy and the quality of spiritual energy are far superior to him, at least Leo can be very sure that under the influence of these disturbing energy fields in the room, he is absolutely not It is possible to release psychic energy, but Vashj not only did it, but also did it very easily.

"Dear master, please pay attention to the doctor's instructions, don't fluctuate too much, your body can't stand it." Seeing the old man recovering, Vaschi gave him a very stern warning, and then turned to Leo, the culprit He stared fiercely, then walked back to the original place.

"I also think you shouldn't be too emotional, I don't want you to die before you learn Gamore language!" Leo ignored Vaschi's anger, and sincerely reminded him, but the words sounded a bit strange.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." The old man also apologized very sincerely, and then continued the topic just now, saying: "Annie and the others are actually thinking too much, I'm just an old man who is about to die, and What can’t be known?” He said to Vaschi, “Do you still remember the autobiography Hugo wrote for me? The one I said was too disgusting?”

After hearing this, Vaschi turned around and walked out of the room. After a while, he brought a bound manuscript, handed it to Leo, and warned with a cold face: "Be careful when you read it. There is only one manuscript, and you won’t be able to afford it if you break it.”

"It's okay, don't listen to her, it's just a broken manuscript, if it's broken, let that guy Hugo..." The old man stopped suddenly, followed by a wry smile, showing a lonely look, and said: "I forgot Well, that guy seems to be dead."

Leo didn't pay attention to who Hugo was in the old man's mouth, and he didn't want to comfort the old man. Instead, after receiving the manuscript, he opened it and read it.
