The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

On the way to the Red Leaf Manor, Saran briefly introduced the situation of the Red Leaf Manor, so when the carriage drove into the red sparrow forest around the Red Leaf Manor, Leo sensed that there were more than a dozen strong and ordinary people lurking in the woods. When he was an extreme and fully armed warrior, he didn't reveal too many surprises.

After entering the manor, a servant with a weapon on his body came forward, opened the car door, greeted Sylvia, and then picked it up to salute.

"You don't need to send it to the house, just pick up the airship." Sylvia said to the manor steward who came over, "How is the airship ready?"

"It's already been ready." The housekeeper lowered his body and replied: "After receiving your letter from Miss, the airship was ready on the same day, but Miss, you didn't come these two days, so we made it every day." An inspection and test flight, so that you can use it immediately when you come, miss."

After finishing speaking, the butler led Leo and Sylvia to a garden lawn behind the manor. At this moment, a large airship was parked on the lawn. It was meticulously repaired, but Leo was still able to recognize that this airship was the one he was on.

Apart from the replacement of some reception staff, the technician in charge of the operation of the airship and the pilot who controlled the airship remained. When Leo boarded the airship, the technician who had talked with him also recognized him. , with some surprised expressions on his face.

Leo didn't talk to him anymore, he went directly into the cabin of the airship, put his luggage away, and Sylvia went to the front hall and ordered the ship to set off.

With a slight vibration, the airship gradually rose, and the propeller at the tail of the hull slowly rotated, driving the airship to fly north.

When the airship ascended and left, those who secretly spied on Hongye Manor recorded all this. Obviously, these intelligence collectors knew very well that the whereabouts of a witch was far less valuable than a strategic weapon.

The appearance of the steam engine crossbow reversed the rules of world war. The knights gradually withdrew from the main sequence of the battlefield. The appearance of the steam train broke the world pattern. The emergence of new things has an unparalleled impact on the world.

With the appearance of this steam airship right now, anyone with a discerning eye can see its value. Countries and forces that have received relevant information will definitely try to get this airship, and their attention will definitely be focused on this airship for a long time. on an airship.

"You deliberately let the airship attract those people's attention." After Sylvia returned to the room, Leo, who was sitting by the window with the wizard's notebook in his hand, suddenly said to Sylvia.

"Those people are too slow. When I came here by airship before, they didn't see it at all. Even if someone saw it, they would only think it was nonsense if I told them." Sylvia shrugged and looked helpless. Said: "It made me have to act out another scene. Just now, I let the airship circle in the air again before leaving."

"Are you looking for a partner?" Leo quickly guessed Sylvia's intentions.

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and admitted: "The fuel for this thing is too expensive, and each piece is almost like gold. My personal financial resources can't bear it, and the rest of the witch group are not interested in this thing. I can only find other collaborators!"

Leo asked with a smile: "Do you think anyone will be willing to cooperate? Especially when you hear that two pieces of wood are needed to make a piece of fuel."

"Maybe not in the past, but not necessarily now." Sylvia said with a smile: "Don't forget that the sea is shrouded in fog. I don't know when it will disappear. There is also a loss of fog between the continents and islands. But now this airship is able to travel to various continents in the air, avoiding the fog, I think any kingdom will attach great importance to this airship. As for fuel, it is not a problem, the most important role of the extracted fuel is to use it Bird repellent, and the birds on the sea are very rare, you can use different charcoal instead of that special fuel, and you will use that special fuel when you want to deal with birds."

"It seems that you have already thought about it?" Leo smiled and said, "What about the buyer? Has the buyer also thought about it?"

Sylvia smiled without saying a word.

Leo could see some clues from Sylvia's face, and said a little surprised: "Have you really found a buyer?"

"I think we can trade the airship after it arrives at Deliyat?" Sylvia said with a smile.

Leo quickly understood what Sylvia meant, and asked curiously, "When did you talk to Kerry Fao about this? These two days?"

Sylvia replied: "That morning, thanks to his help, I was able to get the thing relatively easily. But it wasn't me who found him, but he found me. He seemed to know about the situation of the airship from other witches." of."

"But why did Dailiat buy an airship?" Leo frowned and said, "According to Dailiat's situation, they shouldn't need to buy an airship. Is it just to give the queen a toy?"

"I don't know about this, but it is true that he is interested in airships." Sylvia thought for a while and said, "But he also has a condition, that is, the airship must be able to fly over the Minsk Mountains, and even for This thing had an observer on board, the guy in black at the back of the crowd when we came in."

"A request to be able to fly over the Minsk Mountains?" Leo quickly thought of a possibility after hearing the request, and said, "It seems that Deliyat is going to make some moves."

Sylvia was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and immediately understood what Leo meant, and said, "Probably not! Although there are many wars between Daliat and the southern countries, most of them are Patriotic Wars. Stop aggressing others."

"At that time, the reason for not invading was because the national strength was not strong. Now the situation is completely different," Leo said simply. "Since the queen ascended the throne, Deliyat's national strength has been booming, and the overall strength has already surpassed that of the south. The two kingdoms of the two kingdoms, and most of the young and strong young factions ruled by Deliyat now, they must be eager for military exploits, wealth and land. If Deliyat does not take advantage of the civil strife in Marris Kingdom If they send troops while the situation is not subsided, it will be too late for them to send troops after the civil strife in the Maris Kingdom is over and the Church of the Hill King regains control of the secular power because of the presence of the gods."

"You're right." Sylvia nodded, and quickly entered into a state of war thinking, saying: "If Deliyat wants to invade the Maris Kingdom, he must cross the Minsk Mountains, and cross the The only way to go to the Minsk Mountains is to take the ancient road of Yisi, and both ends of the ancient road of Yisi have built strong walls and castles. It is almost impossible to take it head-on, unless the Ice Queen breaks the contract and takes action against ordinary people. But It would be different if there was an airship, they could use the airship to bypass that line of defense and attack the rear, or sneak attack the line of defense to occupy the line of defense and open the way for the enemy behind."

"So you still sell the airship to them?" Leo asked.

"Of course." Sylvia looked at Leo with an expression of why would you ask such a question, and said, "Not only do you want to sell it, but you also need to sell it at a high price, and you also need to use the resources of Daliat to give us money." Build yourself a better airship that can fly across the ocean."

Leo smiled and said nothing more.

Afterwards, for two days, the spaceship slowly headed north, and soon flew out of the border of Yasha County, and was flying towards Robe Town, the last town in the northern part of the Marris Kingdom. On the Mount Robe near the town of Robe, Robe means holy tower in the ancient Maris language.

In the past two days, Leo carefully read all the books in his hands and compiled them into the database of his brain. The wizard Barton's notes were the focus of his research. Although it did not allow her to gain any powerful abilities, it allowed him to practice various spiritual skills more easily and quickly, and even the power in the imprint of the gods also made him feel confident about himself. The various forces in the body have a deeper understanding.

In the past two days, Sylvia has also benefited a lot. When Leo was experimenting with new abilities, he could only find Sylvia to practice. Sylvia happened to be familiar with her own power. During this process, she found that She can also use some of the techniques recorded in Wizard Barton's notebook, which also gave her a lot of attack methods.

On the fourth day after leaving Moonlight City, the airship began to enter the mountainous area of ​​the Minsk Mountains. When entering the mountainous area, the number of birds startled by the airship also began to increase, but these birds were just approaching the airship. The smell released by that special fuel drove away the journey without any danger.

Leo is also very curious about why the birds attack the things flying through them so frantically, so when there are birds approaching, he will use the mental net to carefully perceive the situation of the birds, and he finds that these birds are When preparing to attack the airship, the blood flow on the body has more than doubled, and a certain part of its tiny brain will be rapidly congested and swollen, and when those birds are deep inside the special gas around the airship, the blood on their body The abnormal situation all subsided, and they also returned to their normal state, fleeing as quickly as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

For this reason, Leo specially found a small piece of charcoal essence of that quality, and then ignited it in a small closed room, looking for the factors that can restore those birds to normal, from the smell emission to energy release and other details, But the result is nothing.

Afterwards, he tried to imitate the method of a steam engine, allowing the heat and smell of this fuel to be incorporated into the steam. Although this method made the steam smell a bit pungent, the fine particles contained in it did not produce any inhibition Blood flow, soothing nerve effect.

Until the spaceship had flown outside the town of Robe, he still hadn't figured out why.

However, although Leo didn't find out the reason, he was sure that the factors that caused the birds to return to normal were hidden in the unknown substance produced by the fusion of the gas after the burning of the special fuel and the mist.

Because he bound the gas formed by fuel combustion into a ball with psionic energy alone, and then used the gas formed by fuel and steam to bind the gas into a ball with psionic energy. When some crazy birds approached, let the two balls of gas separate the two birds. Wrapped up, the gas mixed with the steam quickly returned the crazy birds to normal, while the gas produced by pure fuel made the birds even crazier. Even when they got close to the airship, they were unable to be suppressed by the special gas, so they had to use Other methods kill it.

Leo told Sylvia about this discovery, and Sylvia also became interested in this special fuel gas. She obviously didn't want to solve the negative effects of this gas, but thought about how to use it. gas as a weapon.

Leo didn't tell Sylvia that it was impractical, but gave an idea, that is to collect these gases, seal them in a jar, and throw them out when necessary, creating a trap that can drive birds crazy. environment.

However, this method has two flaws. One is that an environment with a large number of birds needs to be found, otherwise only a dozen crazy birds cannot exert the maximum effect of this gas. The other thing is uncontrollable. Crazy birds will not know who is who. They will frantically attack all living things around them. If they can't run out of the bird's attack range, then the launcher may also become a victim. Attack the object, or even put it into the battlefield, both the enemy and ourselves will suffer.

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia immediately lost interest in this gas and stopped paying attention to it.

However, she didn't know that Leo actually thought that this gas could be used on the battlefield, that is, to analyze the reason why this gas caused the birds to attack living things crazily, and then extract it and use it on the soldiers, so that the soldiers could fight When the battle falls into a decision, it can cause maximum damage to the enemy.

The reason why Leo didn't mention this method is that it might be difficult to find out the mystery hidden in this gas with the current technological level of Vinylon World. After all, the spiritual net of the sixth-level psyker has already begun to touch the microscopic world. Well, if this kind of precision can't detect any abnormal elemental substances, let alone other simple tools in the world of Velen.

Another reason why Leo didn't mention this method is actually his previous experience as a cyborg, using super-concentrated adrenaline when the war was in a desperate situation, this is a common thing, no matter how numb it is, The pain after using it is not what he wants to feel, nor does he want others to feel it, because he feels that this kind of person who died of madness does not have any dignity as an intelligent creature.
