The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Judging from the surrounding furnishings and various additional buildings, the cabins in this living area should have been discovered for a long time, at least four hundred years ago, because in these buildings, Leo also saw buildings with obvious Second Dynasty buildings. style houses.

Therefore, in the entire living area cabin, except for some fixed objects that cannot be moved, other objects that can be moved have been removed, and buildings have been rebuilt in the places where the items were originally placed.

Leo and the others were led directly into the room of one of the buildings, and then motioned for them to find a chair to sit down, then turned and left.

After sitting down, everyone was looking at each other, and no one spoke. The atmosphere in the room was more tense than before, as if the people sitting here were not colleagues, but enemies.

As the rare people among these people, Leo and Sylvia naturally received a lot of attention, and in the face of these undisguised scrutiny, Sylvia usually returned it without any hesitation. Going back, and made a very strong humiliating gesture.

Of course, this is not Sylvia's original intention, but the character of the woman she is playing now. That woman is from a mercenary background, and her size is mixed at the bottom. What she did was in line with her personality.

The person played by Leo is famous for his taciturnity. If it is not necessary, he will rarely speak, and he will not confront other people head-on. Therefore, after he feels the sight falling on him, he closes his eyes and rests his mind.

Although in other people's eyes, Leo seems to close his eyes to avoid conflicts with them and not to look at the people around him, but Leo is actually not only pretending, but also sensing the mysterious power around him, because he is aware of the mysterious power around him at this moment. A mysterious force has produced new inferences.

After entering this place, Leo could clearly feel that the mysterious power that imprisons any extraordinary power is stronger than that on the ground, which means that their underground position is closer to the source of that power, This is obviously unreasonable.

Leo has been guessing the source of this power since he sensed it through the spiritual network, but because of details such as the automatic counterattack of this power, he believed that this power came from the previous construction of the palace and the city. At that time, the wizard circle left by the wizards who participated in the construction of the tower.

But now he felt that he might have inferred wrongly, because if it was the wizard circle in the palace, then the source of power should be under the foundation of the palace, not deep underground.

So now he guesses that this mysterious power does not come from some arrangements in the magic circle and Winterring City at all, but from the treasury of the royal family of Fran, which is the one that can isolate all extraordinary power in the treasury of the royal family of Fran source.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Leo made such a wrong inference before, because when he first knew that the treasury of the royal family of France could isolate all power, he subconsciously thought that it was an effect of unknown reasons, just like those Like a special jammer, in a way, the bone he got later on Rum Peak was also one of the indirect factors that caused his misjudgment, because that bone provided the reference data needed for misjudgment.

But in fact, the reason why the treasury of the royal family of France can isolate all supernatural powers is probably because there is a supernatural power in the treasury itself, which is close to or even the power of Omega-level advanced life forms, and is extremely Domineering, repelling all powers, that's why all extraordinary powers cannot be used in the palace.

In fact, the attention paid by the secret department of the Faran Empire to that bone should have aroused Leo's suspicion, because if the reason why the French royal family's treasury can isolate all extraordinary powers is the same as that bone, then the French royal family may He would also pay attention to that bone, but definitely not to that extent. Not only did he send a royal airship to pick it up, but he even immediately granted Colin the title of nobility.

Obviously, that bone is a very rare and important item in the eyes of the royal family, so it is so important. If it is an item that the royal family has owned and played with for hundreds of years, no matter how magical the item is, it is impossible for the royal family to produce that kind of bone. attention attitude.

Now, Leo couldn't help but think of Bailu. Back then, Bailu said that he didn't provide that bone, but now he believed it.

While Leo was thinking about something, the door was suddenly pushed back, and a middle-aged man walked in, glanced at everyone, and said, "My name is Fernando, and I am from the Seventh Research Institute." The security chief of the third section, you are my subordinates."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, as if he was waiting for the person in front of him to ask questions, but no one wanted to speak.

The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are very good! You are indeed elites who can be selected by various departments. If you know how to shut up, I can tell you that if someone of you spoke just now, then he immediately Losing the qualification to stay here, he is also not qualified to return to the original department, and can only go to the front line."

While talking, they clapped their hands, and several people came in carrying the box, put the box on the table and opened it, then took out two sets of clothes and a set of certificates from the box, and handed them to Leo and the others respectively.

"This is your daily work clothes and ID. The laboratory you work for is on the ID. What you have to do is very simple, just stand there and check the IDs of the people who come and go. If there is an accident in your laboratory, then you will Solve the accident immediately, even seal the laboratory," the middle-aged man said briefly about the situation, and then felt that there was no need to say this, so he said: "You will know the specific affairs from your respective captains. I won’t go into details, now I will report my name and stand up.”

As he said that, the middle-aged man reported a few names to the list, then pointed to a person who had just entered, and asked them to follow that person to leave, and then reported the names of several people, and just like that, he was recruited this time The people were assigned one after another, but Leo and Sylvia were not assigned to the same place.

Leo was the last one to leave, and there were two other people with him. Both of them were taller than ordinary people. At first glance, they didn't show any signs of mutation, but Leo had already scanned them through the mental network before. The bodies of the two people, knowing that the muscles and bones in the two people's bodies have been completely mutated, and according to his inference, this mutation will not give them any extraordinary power, but it can bring them a stronger physique .

Seeing these two people, Leo also thought of the agent of the Special Operations Division he was pretending to be. According to Colin, although the agent also possessed some extraordinary power, his real power was the strength of his body. The figure has monster-like strength.

From this point of view, the three of them are all mutants with strong physique and strength among the people recruited this time, and the three of them will not be affected by the surrounding extraordinary forces in the current environment, and they can still display their extraordinary abilities. body strength.

The person who led the way did not bring the three of them to any building in this area, but came to a corner on one side, and stood in front of a metal gate held by a dozen knights.

I saw that he took out a document and handed it to one of the knights. The knight looked at the document, and then carefully checked the identity documents issued by the three of them one by one. After confirming that they were correct, he waved to the people behind him. .

Several knights walked to the side of a winch, and then vigorously stirred the rope. The heavy metal gate slowly rose, revealing a downward spiral staircase passage. The surrounding walls of this passage are inlaid with rivets. There are steel plates together, and iron juice is poured between the steel plates, without a single gap.

The leader led Leo and others down the spiral staircase passage, and the iron gate behind him also fell rapidly, finally sealing the entrance completely.

Leo, who was walking behind, looked around and tapped his fingers on the steel plate beside him seemingly inadvertently. Because Leo's movements were not hidden or covered up, the people walking in front naturally noticed it.

However, they all subconsciously thought that Leo's move was just curiosity, and they didn't pay too much attention to it, and the person who led the way also looked down on Leo in his heart, because curiosity is not a good thing in this place, So he already has some ideas about the assignment of Leo's follow-up tasks.

However, they didn't know that the purpose of Leo's doing this was to test whether the power of blood in his body could function in this environment, and also to test the situation of the surrounding facilities through the power of blood.

His seemingly simple tapping action actually contains a very powerful force of blood. This force spreads rapidly along the resonance of the metal. When it encounters a non-metallic object, it will bounce back and be struck by the thunder. Ou received it again, and then obtained the detailed status of the surrounding metal objects.

When the spiral staircase came to the end, Leo had also figured out part of the remains of the Rockloth starship. The reason for this was partly because the metal used by the battleship contained anti-vibration materials, and Leo's blood power could not penetrate it. It can be taken back as if it were a non-metallic object.

Fortunately, the wreckage of this battleship has a lot of damage. In order to repair these places, the method used by the French Empire in the past was metal pouring in the early stage, and metal plate inlaying in the later stage. Neither metal pouring nor inlaying can stop Leo's blood flow. Through these metal links, he also figured out the situation of each damaged place and some metal facilities around the damaged place. He only needs to fill in the vacant places to fully grasp the specific situation of the entire wreckage.

Judging from the location and size of the repair point, although the wreckage of the warship was severely damaged, this part of the wreckage did not disintegrate and remained relatively intact. The whole wreckage was divided into four floors, the living area was on the third floor below, and Leo is now We went to the fourth floor. According to the height estimate, the top floor should be under the palace.

Among the four layers of cabins, the lowest layer of the cabin was the most damaged, basically about 60% of it was repaired, while the upper two layers were relatively intact, and Leo's blood power was basically blocked. Beyond these two floors.

Compared with the cabins in the living area above, which are all building-like buildings connected to the zenith, the buildings below are much lower, but the height of the building walls here is still like a small city wall.

Although the building is not tall, the area of ​​the building is large. There are only seven buildings on the entire fourth floor. These seven buildings are all square high-walled buildings. The top roof is a mesh metal frame. There are criss-crossing steel-frame aisles, and there will be a soldier carrying the latest steam machine crossbow guarding every distance in the aisle, and there will be several teams of knights patrolling the aisles between the buildings below.

Judging from various general conditions, the guards here are extremely strict, several times stronger than prisons.

The person who led the way led Leo and the three of them to a row of huts with similar styles against the wall, then pointed to the huts and said, "You pick any one, this will be your resting place from now on, now you go in and put your clothes and Change the documents."

Hearing what the guide said, Leo randomly picked a room and walked in.

The room was cleaned very clean, at least on the surface, but Leo was able to see some residual traces that other people could not see with naked eyes. Through these residual traces, Leo could conclude that the previous occupants of this house must have Something happened to the body.

However, Leo did not intend to carefully investigate what happened to the previous owner of this room. He chose this room because according to the analysis of the structure of his team's battleship, the metal plate behind the wall of this room should be There is a quick maintenance lane, and this quick maintenance lane leads up.

Leo didn't immediately look for the entrance to the maintenance passage. He changed into his work clothes according to the guide's instructions, pinned his work ID to his chest, and walked out of the room.

At this time, the other two had already changed their clothes and waited beside the guide. When they saw that Leo was late, they couldn't help showing disdain.

Leo didn't pay attention to the two of them either. He came to the guide, made a simple courtesy to him, and then stood aside.

The leader didn't show any dissatisfaction because Leo appeared last. He didn't seem to care about it. He said something to a few people to keep up, and then led them towards the entrance of a building.

When they came to the gate of the building, the guide knocked hard on the tall metal door. After a while, the door opened, and a young man wearing glasses, wearing a doctor's uniform and covered in blood walked through the door. He came out, looked at the leader, then at Leo and the others, and said, "Who is it?"

The leader seemed to be used to such short, emotionless inquiries from the other party, so he quickly gave an answer, pointed to Leo, and said, "It's him, he's yours..."

Before the guide finished speaking, the other party said to Leo: "Come in! Hurry up."

Leo didn't think much about it, he stepped in, and the metal door at the entrance was quickly closed by the optician's hands.
