The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

If someone else said this, Sylvia would definitely suspect that the other party had an illusion, but the person who spoke was Leo, then this matter is likely to be true.

"Is that thing harmful to us?" Sylvia asked.

"I don't know for now," Leo shook his head and said, "But it's best to investigate clearly."

Sylvia was a little puzzled and asked, "How to investigate?"

Leo was silent for a while, and said: "Starting from the construction of Winter's City. I remember that the tower wizard of Winter's City once participated in it, and with the relationship between the King of Knights and the Black Forest, I am afraid that the Black Forest also participated in it, etc. After getting familiar with the environment of Winterring City and the Royal Academy in the past two days, I will go to the library of the Royal Academy to search for information."

For Leo's proposal, Sylvia also agreed, and then the two ignored Tokyo outside, and went to their own affairs.

However, Leo's mental network is still open, sensing the movement outside and recording the subtle changes in that feeling.

Soon the night passed, Leo and Sylvia simply washed up, tidied up their clothes, and walked towards the main entrance of the college. The student guide was already waiting at the entrance yesterday. They hired a carriage and started Continue yesterday's tour.

In the next few days, under the leadership of this student guide, Leo and Sylvia not only visited the entire Royal Academy, but also visited Winterrin City by the way. During the tour, Leo's spiritual net was always open, Scan and collect environmental data such as geography, terrain, and buildings around. After returning home at night, these data will be sorted into a complete image, and a complete three-dimensional map of Winterring City will be formed.

However, this process was not smooth sailing, because there were a lot of things in Winterfell that interfered with the spirit network, so the scan data collected by Leo was incomplete, and he could only rely on some data observed by the eyes as a supplement.

The thing that interferes with the mental network is not only the kind of interference device, but also various strange things with different effects. Compared with the mental network, it can also scan some information from the interference device. The information received is very little, or blank, and may even be deceived by false appearances.

For example, when he scanned the Klan family's official residence in Winterring City through the mental network, in his mental network perception, the place where the official residence was located turned out to be an ocean.

After all, Winterring City is the capital of the Faran Empire. Many of the noble families living here have inherited more than a thousand years, and it is close to a place full of mysterious power like the Black Forest, so each noble family will more or less collect some strange things. things.

Although the Kelan family is not an ancient noble family with a long history, it is not uncommon for him to buy some powerful strange things because his family is rich.

In addition, the hill where the palace is located, his spiritual network was completely shielded by a force, and even this force could attack his consciousness along the practice of the spiritual network. Fortunately, he found it in time and paid the price of losing some spiritual power , Forcibly cut off the connection with the spirit network, so that he did not receive the backlash from the protection force of the palace.

Although the confrontation between his spiritual network and the power of the palace was only a momentary event, it was enough for Leo to perceive some information about the mysterious power in the palace.

First of all, what Leo perceives is strength. Leo doesn't know how strong it is, but he can be sure that even if it is a white deer, the feeling it gives him cannot be compared with the power in the palace. Obviously, the mysterious power in the palace is close to even It has reached the level of Omega-level advanced life forms.

Secondly, he knew that the mysterious power in the palace had no consciousness, it was more like some kind of Turing circle or a field formed by the accumulation of some other powerful power.

After discovering the real situation of the palace, Leo carefully analyzed and felt that the situation of the palace had both disadvantages and advantages for him.

The downside is that the power contained in the palace far exceeds Leo's expectations. The countermeasures conceived before Winter City may not be used, and it is even more impossible to break through.

But this doesn't mean that Leo has no hope. Judging from the overall situation, he still has a way to sneak into the palace treasury and take away the ring.

The reason why Leo made such a judgment was that during that confrontation, he discovered that the power in the palace was not controlled by others, but operated by itself according to a certain established procedure.

Because if his spiritual network touched the power in the palace, and if this power is controlled by someone, then the person who controls the power will definitely feel it, and will take the initiative to release the power to check the situation around the palace and investigate who is spying on Fran royalty.

But such a thing did not happen, which means that this force is not controlled by others. As long as it is not controlled by others, Leo will be able to find the law of the power to operate on its own. If he finds the law, he will be able to find a way to follow the law , as long as they find a way to follow the rules, they will not arouse this force when they enter the palace, and may even be considered by this force as people who are qualified to walk in the palace. In this case, it will be easy for them to enter the royal treasure house to get things a lot.

For others, it might be the hardest thing to crack the palace's prohibition arrangement, but for Leo it is the easiest, the only thing needed is time and materials.

After getting a general understanding of the situation in Winterfell City and the Royal Academy, Leo and Sylvia began to go to the academy to study occultism like normal advanced students.

It's just that, for the two of them, the so-called mysticism publicly taught by the academy is as superficial as explaining the basic notes to a music master. They spend most of their time in the library, using what they can Borrow a wide variety of books.

In the first two days, the daily action information, including the list of books they borrowed, was sorted into data and handed over to a special person for analysis.

However, this kind of strict monitoring was soon relaxed, and even the secret agents of the Imperial Security Bureau seemed to be transferred away, and it seemed that they had encountered something big.

"I know what's going on!" When Leo was puzzled by the fact that the secret agent of the Security Bureau was transferred away, Sylvia, who had just gone out to investigate the whereabouts of the lost items of the Belmont family, rushed back with a few newspapers in her hand. , just after closing the door, he raised the newspaper in his hand to Leo and said loudly.

Leo was stunned when he heard the words, took the newspaper from Sylvia, and read it.

He found that this newspaper was not the public newspaper that was sold outside, but the mansion newspaper inside the Special Operations Department, and the most obvious report on it was that a large-scale mutation occurred among the tribes that overwintered in Ferut City in the North As for the scale, it is not clear. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the passage to the Northland has been closed, and from the legions stationed near the imperial capital, three corps and one knight order were dispatched to the Northland. Secret agents of various secret departments.

From various details related to it, it is not difficult to see that the mutation incident in Ferut City in the Northland may not be as light as described in the Dibao. Analyzing the land and other details, I am afraid that there may be a lot of mutations in Ferut City, and it may even endanger the survival of the tribes in the Northland. Otherwise, the empire would not be able to send so many people to the Northland.

After reading all the reports about the Northland in the mansion newspaper, Leo didn't know why what Mist and Randall did that night suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although he feels that this incident must be related to Mist and Randall, any information he can see now cannot prove this. Unless he personally goes to Ferut City to investigate, it is difficult to find the connection.

Although there is no evidence, Leo still reminded Sylvia, saying: "You'd better find the spies of the United Kingdom in the imperial capital and ask them to send a message back, so that people can pay more attention to Mist and Randall."

"Why?" Sylvia didn't understand why Leo suddenly mentioned Mist and Randall after reading those newspapers.

Leo didn't hide it either, and told what he felt just now and what Mist and Randall did that night.

"Is it just a feeling?" Sylvia frowned. Obviously, she couldn't see any connection between her two old colleagues and the great mutation in Ferut City. Somewhat absurd.

Leo knew very well that Sylvia would think this way, and he didn't persuade her much, because even he himself was a little skeptical about the feeling of this appearance.

And he also felt that it was obviously inappropriate to waste a secret line because of such an unfounded news.

In a place like the imperial capital, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build every line, and countless people have died. Moreover, after such a line is used once, it will definitely be abandoned, so every message sent should be It is news of life and death for the United Kingdom.

Because of a conjecture, the news of doubting some people was passed through such a precious line, even if Sylvia had a high position in the United Kingdom, it might be difficult to explain it.

However, just when Leo wanted to say that he might have miscalculated and told Sylvia not to care, Sylvia chose to believe Leo's feelings and said, "I will try to pass the news back."

Leo was stunned when he heard the words, didn't say anything, just nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and said: "Our actions may have to be accelerated."

"Why?" Sylvia asked suspiciously.

Leo briefly analyzed: "Because if the mutation over there is urgent, people like us who are studying will definitely be activated immediately, and vacations and training will be stopped."

Sylvia nodded in agreement when she heard the words, and said, "My matter has already begun to take shape, and I will resolve it in the next two days."

Seeing the progress of Sylvia's affairs, he was also happy for Sylvia, but he didn't have any clues yet, because the various materials he found in the library did not involve the construction of the palace. This made Leo think that he should find a chance to sneak into the palace and have a field trip.

However, before Leo and Sylvia could prepare for the sudden change, officials from the headquarters of the Special Operations Department approached them.

"How are you two learning in the academy?" This official is the supervisor of the special service team. Although the rank is not high, he has a lot of authority. in his hand.

When the supervisor arrived and revealed his identity, both Leo and Sylvia felt that the other party was trying to recruit the two of them into the special service team.

"It's okay." Although there were many thoughts in their hearts, Leo and Sylvia didn't show any abnormalities on their faces, and they simply replied in unison.

"Is it okay?" The supervisor muttered, then took out two test papers from the briefcase beside him, handed them to Leo and Sylvia respectively, and said in an undeniable tone: "Now take these two test papers. A test paper was given."

Seeing this situation, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other without saying anything. They each took a paper, found a place, and started to do it.

The content on the paper does not involve any too complicated and advanced knowledge. Most of them are the knowledge mentioned in the academy these days, and there are also some knowledge related to the code of conduct of the Special Operations Department. All in all, this knowledge is very important to Leo. Neither is difficult with Sylvia.

The two quickly finished writing the entire paper and handed it over to the supervisor. The supervisor didn't say anything, and began to check the answer sheets of the two. After the inspection was late, he looked up at the two and asked: "I heard that you all stayed in the sense of books after class and borrowed a lot of occult books. The knowledge taught by the academy is a bit too simple for you."

Leo and Silvia answered truthfully: "Yes."

"Well, I think so." The supervisor nodded, then stuffed the two answer sheets into the bag, then took out two letters from the bag, handed them to the two respectively, and said, "You go to the office tomorrow. These two places reported."

After speaking, he got up and walked out the door.

"Excuse me, what about our advanced studies at the academy?" Leo didn't open the letter, but asked like a normal person.

The supervisor said without looking back, "The knowledge you learned there is much more profound than what you learned in the academy."

Leo didn't ask any more questions, and after closing the door, he and Sylvia opened the letter in their hands.

I saw that these two letters were transfer orders. They were transferred to the Seventh Royal Research Institute, and the location of the Seventh Royal Research Institute was actually in the royal garden, very close to the Feast Palace where the treasure house was located.

"It looks like we don't have to leave." After seeing the transfer order, Sylvia couldn't help but smile and said.

Leo nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Seventh Royal Research Institute was probably set up specifically for the study of extraordinary power. It seems that we are lucky."

"However, why did they suddenly transfer us there?" Sylvia was a little puzzled, but soon seemed to think of something, and said, "Could it be related to the great mutation in Ferut City?"

"Maybe." Leo responded uncertainly, and said, "Anyway, we'll find out when we get there."
