The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The moment the box was brought up, Leo recognized the box at first sight. Its appearance is not gorgeous, but very simple. The surface is covered with a layer of rust due to oxidation and other reasons. The only thing worth noting is the box. The lock on the top.

His extraordinary eyesight can see layers of complex Turing radicals on the lock, and the mental network can also feel the energy fluctuations transmitted from the lock. This energy fluctuation is not strong at first glance, but if If you penetrate it, you will be able to feel the raging waves under the calm appearance.

The manager of the black market in Sate Harbor in the Kingdom of England mentioned that the black market had tried to use external force to destroy the box and take out the contents. At that time, he only mentioned that the box could not be destroyed. Destroying the box is more likely to encounter the backlash of the box, causing some casualties, and more than once, otherwise the black market would not give up this thing and bring it to the auction.

After the box was brought up, the auctioneer explained the origin of the box and some problems encountered by the black market, and mentioned a little bit that the black market encountered some minor accidents when the box was destroyed by external force, causing some minor damage, and then Changing the subject, he kept hinting to the audience and the people in the box that this box might be a relic of the tower, and there was a big secret about the tower hidden in it, so it was protected with such a powerful force.

For ordinary people, Tower Wizard is just an ordinary name. They don't know what Tower Wizard represents in the dark world, but for people in the dark world, Tower Wizard is almost like a god. The relics passed down are extraordinary.

But also everyone who is tempted by this box also has concerns, because there have been many tower relics in the past, and there are indeed things in those relics that can improve people's strength and obtain certain benefits, but more The relics are the embodiment of disaster.

The recent catastrophe of the tower relics that occurred in the Kingdom of Maris was the disaster that occurred at Count Agatha's house half a year ago. And the surrounding villages turned into a fierce land wrapped in countless black plants, and Earl Agatha's family all died there, and even the souls after death were bound in that fierce land and could not be freed.

Many people who passed by Earl Agatha's manor, no matter day or night, could hear the screams continuously coming from the manor.

So when the auctioneer explained that the items in the box were blocked by a powerful force because they were extremely valuable, the people in the dark world had a different idea in their minds. In their opinion, the items in the box were probably because they were extremely dangerous. It was sealed into the box by the tower wizard with such great power.

People with this kind of thinking obviously accounted for the majority, so when the auctioneer suggested that a bid could be made, the entire hall became silent, and no one bid, which made the experienced auctioneer feel a little embarrassed.

Although Leo wanted the box very much, he didn't rush to make an offer, but waited quietly until the auctioneer repeatedly urged that the auction was about to pass, then he pulled the switch next to it to light up the offer light, and reported There was a reserve price.

At the moment Leo made an offer, everyone in the lobby looked at Leo at the same time, as if they wanted to see who was so bold to make an offer for this dangerous thing.

However, Leo had already closed the curtains of the box in advance, and used rune traps to set up an interference force field, making it impossible for those who wanted to investigate Leo's identity.

However, Leo's quotation seemed to serve as an introduction. Many people who were also interested in this box but were a little bit worried also let go of their concerns a little and made quotations one after another, and the scene gradually returned to excitement.

When other people bid, Leo stopped bidding again and watched quietly.

"If you don't have enough money on hand, I can..." Sylvia thought that Leo didn't have enough money, so she said softly.

"No, my funds are sufficient, I'm just waiting for the right time." Leo smiled and patted Sylvia's arm, signaling her to relax, and then turned his attention back to the auction house.

The people in the lobby began to quote various prices one by one, and gradually pushed the price to a small height. People who were interested in the box also began to give up gradually. In the end, only one person quoted a relatively high price.

At this time, the auctioneer confirmed the quotation again, and said that if no one else bids, the thing will belong to this young man.

At this moment, Leo made his bid for the second time, and the price he gave was slightly higher than that person's.

Leo's bid also stimulated the interest of others in the auction again, and a new round of bidding started, but the amount of this round of bidding was no longer stretched as wide as the previous round, but close to each other. previous quote.

This round of bidding didn't last too long, and it ended soon. After the last person quoted a high price, no one was bidding, and the auctioneer confirmed again.

At this time, Leo called for the third time, and this time the price was also close to the previous price. It's just that after the offer this time, no one followed suit, even those who were interested in this box did not make any more offers, but glared at the box room where Leo was.

"It seems that they all regard you as someone from the black market." Sylvia quickly understood Leo's intentions, and whispered to Leo, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning."

Leo smiled, but said nothing.

What happened after that was as he expected, no one made any more bids, and the box belonged to him the moment the auctioneer dropped the hammer, and the people who participated in the auction before were all gloating at the box at this moment, as if feeling that this time the black market Self-defeating, smashing things in his own hands.

Leo didn't show any complacency, he just called the waiter outside the door and paid enough money for the waiter to bring the things over.

The thing he wanted has already been obtained, and the money he paid was only half of the expected amount, which made Leo feel a lot better, and he also became interested in looking at other auction items.

In the subsequent auction, Leo also bid several times, bought a string of jewels to give to Sylvia, and also bought some psionic substances to supplement consumption.

At the end of the normal auction, the box that Leo bought was brought over by the waiter and handed over to him.

The moment he got the box, Leo's attention was no longer on the auction site, his eyes were completely attracted by the lock on the box.

After seeing the locks on the box, Leo knew where the roots of the Turing words that the wizard who arranged the black market knew came from. Obviously, the Turing roots stacked together on these locks were the source.

Although the Turing radicals on the box lock are not the most complicated combination of Turing radicals Leo has ever seen, it is the first time Leo has seen the combination of these Turing radicals, and this method has already Let these Turing radicals begin to transform into three-dimensional radicals, but these Turing radicals still lack the key radical link elements, which makes these Turing radicals unable to further transform.

"Are you going to unlock these locks here?" Sylvia couldn't help asking when she saw that Leo was staring at the locks without blinking.

Hearing this, Leo came back to his senses from thinking about the root of Turing, shook his head slightly, and said: "The root of Turing on the lock is very complicated, it is a combination of roots of Turing that I have never seen before. It will take a while to crack the mystery, and it cannot be done in a short time.”

Sylvia pointed to the outside of the box and said, "In this case, let's take a look at the next auction first! Those special items will be on the market."

Leo followed Sylvia's suggestion, and sent the box directly to the storage space, and studied it slowly when he had time.

After turning his attention back to the auction, he discovered that the servants of the blood race were asking the ordinary people sitting in the middle seats to leave. It was obvious that the last few special items could not be owned by ordinary people.

Although the ordinary people who participated in the auction were extremely curious about what those special items were, they didn't dare to mess around in the blood race's venue. They all got up and left in an orderly manner. , it has become deserted at this moment, and the place is so empty that even speaking a little louder can produce echoes.

The auctioneer who presided over the auction had already gone down, and the one who came up was a very beautiful and enchanting blood race woman. Although she seemed very weak from the outside, everyone who knew her knew that this blood race woman was definitely not a good person. stubble.

"Bloody Lady Natasha!" Sylvia directly revealed the other party's identity, and emphasized: "She is a famous slut in Maris, and she has slept in almost all the expensive beds in Marris. including women."

Hearing Sylvia's disdainful words, Leo looked at her thoughtfully, causing her face to turn red and turn her head aside.

Leo smiled, and then turned his head to look at the blood baroness, but he didn't look at the appearance of the blood baroness, but looked at her inside.

After a while, Leo suddenly asked: "Can the blood race also have faith?"

"Faith? Probably not!" Sylvia hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I remember that blood races don't seem to believe in other gods, even evil gods, they only believe in their ancestors, that is, the earliest Blood clan, that demigod vampire." She looked at Leo in puzzlement, and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask such a weird question?"

Leo reminded: "You pull the cloth covering your eyes a little bit, and look at the baroness you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Sylvia pulled the cloth strips over her eyes slightly upwards, opened a hole, and looked at the bloody lady.

The moment she saw the Countess, the glamorous Countess in Sylvia's eyes immediately changed. Her body expanded rapidly, becoming a huge meat ball, and all kinds of thorny growths grew around the meat ball. Tentacles, each of the tentacles has a mouth opening and closing to say something.

"Damn it!" Sylvia closed her eyes immediately after seeing the monster's form, and pulled the cloth strip down again, and couldn't help wondering, "How could that be? How could she believe in the God of Whispering Words?" , hasn’t the god of clever words fallen?”

"The God of Whispering Words?" After hearing Sylvia's words, relevant information immediately appeared in Leo's mind, and he confirmed: "The God of Whispering Words you mentioned is the first Orthodox Church to disappear. A god of faith?"

"Hmm!" Sylvia nodded, and said: "The Orthodox Church really confirmed that the God of Whispering Words had fallen, and the Church of the God of Whispering Words was also disbanded very quickly. Other churches." As she spoke, Sylvia tried to lift the cloth strip and looked at the Blood Countess again, and after confirming that she had read correctly, she couldn't help wondering, "Why does the God of Whispering Words still exist?"

"Are you sure this is the God of Whispering Words?" Leo frowned, and said, "I remember that in the scriptures of the Orthodox Church, the God of Whispering Words is a handsome young man, who is so different from this extremely ugly monster. gone."

"Don't use human common sense to speculate about God's things." Sylvia suddenly said to Leo seriously: "On the first day I joined the Orthodox Church, the old knight who led me into the office said this to me Just like a bird sees humans as monsters with teeth and claws, we see God in the same way, but for the adaptation of ordinary believers, the church will create a human-like statue for people to worship."

Leo didn't worry about the appearance of the god any more. He had seen Omega-level advanced life forms with even weirder shapes when he approached him. The appearance of the god of eloquence is obviously normal.

"A fallen god is resurrected now, and there is also a blood believer?" Leo frowned and said, "How does this matter feel strange?"

Sylvia also nodded in agreement. If she was still the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church, she would definitely investigate this matter and spread the news of the resurrection of the God of Whispering Words, but now she is just a bystander. If it gets on her head, she won't pay attention to these questions.

While the two were talking, the venue had been cleaned up again, and the baroness also stood in the auctioneer's position. After the bell rang twice, it was announced that the second half of the auction of special items had started. And signaled the attendants behind the stage to bring up the first auction item.

The first auction item was so large that it took six blood races to lift it up and move it to the middle of the stage.

After putting down the auction item, the Bloody Baroness signaled to remove the cloth on the auction item, revealing the objects inside.

Everyone who saw this object let out an exclamation, but only Leo stood up from his chair in shock and stimulation, and his abnormal behavior also attracted Sylvia's attention, making her He lifted the blindfold a little and looked towards the stage.
