The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Sylvia turned her head to look at the Feast Palace behind her, then at the backpack she was carrying behind her, and asked Leo in disbelief, "We just walked out like this?"

"It should have just come out like this." Leo nodded, and said with some doubts: "It seems too easy, and it's a little different from what we expected. Has the guard of the Fran Palace always been so lax?"

"Of course not." Sylvia shook her head, but for a moment she didn't know how to prove her words, because judging from the situation just now, the guards of the palace were unbelievably lax.

Starting from the seventh underground research institute to the outside of the Feast Palace where they are now, although the two of them encountered some small obstacles, they went very smoothly on the whole. The Feast Palace, and the road out of the Feast Palace is as easy as walking in the back garden of your own home.

Originally, both Leo and Sylvia thought that they would definitely fight on the way out of the treasure house at the end, and they were even ready to kill a bloody road, but they didn't encounter any danger in the end.

The two teams of knight attendants guarding the treasury, the heavy-armored soldiers guarding the passage, the knights and knight attendants walking back and forth in the royal guard's garrison, so many people seemed to be blind. Turning a blind eye, there was no doubt about the identities of the two scholars, and no one came forward to ask.

Afterwards, none of the palace guards, palace servants, servants, maids, etc. in the Feast Palace expressed any doubt about the identities of the two, even though Sylvia was carrying a very eye-catching backpack on her back.

Leo walked to a stand in front of the Feast Palace, glanced at the undulating palace buildings ahead, and found that there were a large number of guards stationed in these buildings and on the aisles, and the positions and patrol routes of these guards came from Look, they seem to pay more attention to the movements outside the palace, so Leo said: "Fran Palace has never been invaded since it was built. It can be seen that the guards of Fran Palace are very tight, but their strictness seems to be only for intruders from outside. For an intruder, it seems defenseless against our kind of infiltration from the inside."

Sylvia thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said, "That's good, it saves us a lot of trouble." As she spoke, she looked towards the southeast side of the palace, and then pointed to the palace in the distance. Several towering stone pillars in the building said: "The airship is usually docked in the square there."

Leo also followed Sylvia's line of sight and looked over there. Although the square was blocked by layers of palace buildings, Leo's extraordinary eyesight still helped him see the square clearly through the gaps between the buildings. some situations above.

As Sylvia said, there is indeed an airship docked in that square, but that airship does not seem to be the one that picked up Colin, but another one, smaller in size, And there are many people like mechanics around the airship, who are doing some tests on the airship.

Leo talked about what he saw, and Sylvia immediately understood what was going on, and said, "The Royal Academy should be testing the airship there. It seems that we are going to fly a new ship with unknown performance. Airship."

After speaking, Sylvia led the way with her backpack on her back, and Leo followed closely. The two walked down a spiral staircase not far away to a corridor on the next floor, and then passed through a downward corridor. The path, through the two arches, walked to the small garden of the palace, and then walked to the location of the square.

As Sylvia described, the guards of the palace are very tight. In addition to the royal guards patrolling the fixed routes, there are at least ten heavy-armored guards guarding some key places. In addition, on the top of some palace buildings, there are The security point and other facilities can easily see the surrounding situation. Alarm measures are set up at the location of the security point. As long as there is a slight abnormal movement, the entire palace will enter a state of martial law.

However, for Sylvia, these palace guards and security arrangements are useless. She is very clear about the function and importance of each building in the palace, and knows where she will encounter interception and inquiries, so she always finds Some routes that can bypass the interception point continue to advance towards the square.

Along the way, although the two of them encountered many palace guards and royal guards patrolling back and forth, they never encountered a single interception and questioning of their identity. Perhaps some people were a little confused about the package that Sylvia was carrying. But it's just doubts, and I don't know if it's because their attitudes are too natural, or if the clothes of the royal scholars on them play a role.

During the march, Leo also saw Turing circles of unknown purpose hidden in a large number of decorative patterns in many places in the palace. Daquan, not only the Turing radical combination method that Leo had learned before, but also more Turing array layout techniques that Leo had not learned. Learn the core content of the tower wizard above here.

Now that I think about it, it’s not so hard to understand that the Earl Phelps I met before was a wizard with the inheritance of the Tower Wizard. Looking at the current construction of the Faran Palace, it’s not difficult to find that the Tower Wizard was in a certain period of time. The relationship between the royal family of Faran is very good, so good that it directly left some high-tower wizard inheritance systems here.

It's just that the Turing circles that were used for defense before have all failed when the statue of the stone throne is moved here. Before the power of the stone throne disappears, these Turing circles are impossible to have any effect of.

About ten minutes later, the two walked to the edge of the square without any danger. At this time, there were seven or eight guards standing around the airship in the square. They were not guarding the surrounding situation, but curious. Surrounded by the airship, they never thought that there would be any attack behind them.

Beside the airship, seven or eight people dressed as mechanics were adjusting the flying wings of the airship and the steam jet accelerator on the rear side. It seemed that they were testing this new type of airship.

This airship is different from the airships Leo saw before. First of all, the airbag of the airship is not separated from the fuselage of the airship but integrated. In addition, the overall shape of the airbag of the airship looks like a sea barracuda, slender and sharp, Finally, the propeller in the stomach of the airship no longer uses a propeller airflow propeller, but a steam jet propeller.

All the technologies used on this airship are not new technologies, but some technologies that have existed in the past.

When Leo took over the machinery manufacturing plant and metal smelting plant in Port of Scitech, he bought a large number of books related to machinery in order to study the development of steam machinery in the world, and some books of the same type were also mixed in these books. Such as the fantasy novel of steam machinery.

All the seemingly innovative parts of this airship right now come from some steam mechanical fantasy novels, such as the shape of a sea barracuda, which is an airship war novel called "Romance in the Air", and steam jet propulsion The propulsion device is also from a novel called "The King of the Sea", except that the propulsion device in that novel is used for sea ships.

Obviously, the airship mechanics in Fran got inspiration from those seemingly absurd books and made the airship in front of them. It should still be in the experimental stage, and it seems that the Emperor Fran didn't pay much attention to it, otherwise it would be A few people will not be assigned to be responsible for the security of the airship, nor will people in the palace approach the airship at will.

For example, now, Leo and Sylvia easily walked among the unsuspecting palace guards, and they didn't stop them.

After the two walked to the group of mechanics who were doing the final inspection, Sylvia directly asked tentatively, "Have all the test preparations been done?"

These mechanics who were doing the final overhaul were stunned when they heard Sylvia's inquiry. Obviously they didn't know Sylvia, but after seeing the scholar robes on Sylvia and Leo, their eyes were all shocked. He showed a respectful look, and replied without concealment: "The fuel has been prepared and ignited, and a new round of tests can be carried out at any time. Are you ready to participate in this test?"

"Yes. Both of us will participate in this test." Sylvia nodded and said.

Although the mechanics didn't understand why two royal scholars were interested in the test of this experimental airship, they didn't dare to ask more, because they knew very well that in the palace, the less they knew, the safer they would be. If you accidentally know some taboo knowledge, you may not even know how to die.

So they didn't ask Leo and Sylvia about these things, quickly completed the overhaul of the airship, and then waved to the royal guards who were in charge of airship security, and welcomed Leo and Sylvia onto the airship , and then the royal guards also boarded the airship, but they were puzzled by the two people who suddenly joined, Leo and Silvia, because they were not in the order they received.

It's just that they didn't want to ask too much, because the performance of the mechanics just now showed that these two people should also be participants, otherwise the mechanics would have driven them away.

After everyone boarded the airship, the pilot in charge of controlling the airship walked up to the rudder of the airship, and quickly moved a few controls on the side. It slowly floated up and flew into the air.

Although it was not the first time to test this airship, the mechanics and guards who participated still felt a little nervous. Even though the flight was going smoothly now, their nervousness did not subside.

"Now test the propulsion capability." After the airship rose to a certain height, the pilot stopped the ascent, and then pulled the lever of the steam jet thruster, a powerful impulse was transmitted instantly, and the airship rushed forward at an extremely fast speed .

Although both the mechanic and the guards were on guard, they were still staggered by the sudden force, and even the driver fell to the ground because of the unexpectedly strong force, and his hands were naturally detached. up the rudder.

The out-of-control rudder turned rapidly, causing the airship to lose its direction. When an accident was about to happen, Leo grabbed the rudder, and then quickly turned it twice to bring the airship back on track. Flying out of the range of the palace, both Leo and Sylvia could feel the extraordinary strength of their bodies returning to normal.

"Thank you, thank you! If it weren't for you, something must have happened," the driver got up from the ground, thanked Leo repeatedly for controlling the rudder, and then said, "Let me drive! We have already flown out of the test range If you don't go back immediately, you will be punished."

"It's okay, this airship didn't fly out of my test range." Leo easily controlled the rudder, adjusted the direction of the airship to the direction of the Black Forest, and said to the driver.

Leo's words were not very loud, but they could still be heard by everyone in this semi-sealed environment.

Not only the driver was puzzled by Leo's words, but the faces of other people also showed doubts.

However, their doubts did not last long, and a mechanic realized something and shouted: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

At this time, everyone realized that the identities of Leo and Sylvia might not be who they thought they were. The mechanics were all frightened and sat on the ground, while the royal guards all touched their weapons. , obviously wanting to capture Leo and Sylvia to atone for their crimes.

But before they could take any action, a strong pressure appeared on them out of thin air, and then they felt as if they were being pressed down by a boulder, they couldn't breathe, their eyes darkened and they passed out.

"It feels so good to have power! It was too uncomfortable before." Sylvia couldn't help but sigh when she saw the effect of her releasing the power.

Leo didn't have much emotion. He felt that the thrust of the airship was weakening, so he said to Sylvia, "You drive the airship, and I'll add some fuel."

After speaking, he handed over the control of the airship to Sylvia, and he found the location of the furnace room through the spiritual network, picked up the shovel, and sent the fuel next to it to the furnace one by one.

After adding a large amount of fuel, the originally slowed airship began to maintain a high-speed flight, and soon flew out of Winterfell City.

Almost at the same time they flew out of Winterfell, all the alarm bells in the palace were sounded, apparently they had discovered that the treasure house had been robbed.
