The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Robe Town is the northernmost town of Maris. It is located in the mountains. Most of the people living here are the mountain people of Robe Mountain. There is only one trail leading to the outside of the mountain. The connection with the outside world is basically It is cut off, only honey merchants will come here to collect honey every month, and they will bring some outside items by the way.

Although Robe Town is located deep in the mountains, few people know about it, but the honey produced in Robe Town is the most famous nourishing product in the Maris Kingdom, and almost every rich lady would take it in the morning A spoonful of honey, hoping to use the effectiveness of this honey to retain the youth on the face.

Sylvia, who is also a woman, will naturally not let go of this nourishing holy product. In order to understand the origin of this nourishing holy product, she also used the resources of the witch troupe to investigate Robe Town, so on the way to Robe Town , she told Leo some things about Robe Town.

For example, this town is extremely xenophobic. Unless it is a honey merchant they recognize, they will not buy a drop when others come. Obviously, she has tried to buy honey here before, but the results seem to be unsatisfactory.

The airship did not land directly outside Robe Town, but landed on the top of a hill two hills away from Robe Town.

The reason for doing this is not only to not want the appearance of the airship to disturb the townspeople of Robe Town, but also because the dense fog on Mount Robe still covers the mountainside on the ground, but the range in the air But it has expanded several times and merged with the cloud layer, making it look like a cloud layer.

If Leo hadn't felt some abnormal fluctuations in the pattern on his back, and the power of nightmare had also produced some slight reactions, it might have been difficult to find the dense fog hidden in the clouds.

Now the mountaintop they landed on is at the edge of the cloud and mist, and if they get closer to the front, they will probably fall into the cloud and mist.

"Stay here, don't move around, and wait for us to come back." Sylvia instructed the airship staff.

Leo added another sentence at this time: "If we don't come back within ten days, you should leave! Go back to Hongye Manor."

Hearing what Leo added, everyone froze for a moment, and looked at Sylvia in unison.

"His words mean what I mean." Sylvia nodded.

The director of the airship nodded and said, "Okay! My lord, we will follow your instructions."

"Let's go!" Seeing that Sylvia had finished giving orders, Leo motioned to her, then hugged her in his arms, and fell directly from the cliff on the top of the mountain.

Although it was not the first time that everyone present had seen Leo and Sylvia do this, and they had done it many times on the way here, they still couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

I saw that after Leo and Sylvia jumped, their whole bodies seemed to have a pair of invisible wings, gliding in the air, and every time they were about to approach the ground, they could be swept away by a gust of mountain wind. Flying again, the two of them were almost clinging to the gap between the ground and the clouds, and flew towards Robe Town.

The flying speed of the two was very fast, but they flew over two hills in a short while. When they were about to reach Robe Town, Leo adjusted his psionic wings, and slowly landed on a barren lawn.

"You didn't hide some skill on purpose, so you don't teach me, so you can take the opportunity to hug me?" Sylvia tidied up her clothes after landing, then looked at Leo suspiciously, and asked.

Leo didn't answer but just looked at her indifferently.

Sylvia curled her lips and said, "I guess you're not such an interesting person!" Then she muttered unwillingly, "Why can't I learn?"

"It should be the difference in power!" Leo simply responded.

In fact, the ability of Psionic Wings was also created by Leo accidentally. He originally discovered a technique after reading Wizard Barton's notes, which can greatly slow down the speed of the human body's landing, and even allow people to fall in the air. Stay for a while.

When improving this technique and using it with psionic energy, he discovered that this technique is similar to the psionic wing in the universe.

Among the psionic skills delineated by the Earth Federation, psionic wings are advanced psionic skills, which can only be learned by a psychic who has reached level five, so he has only heard about this psionic skill, and has no idea how to use it. I don't know anything about it.

However, he knows that psionic wings are an important skill for psykers to travel through the universe. Generally, after reaching the level of sixth-level psykers, psionic wings can transform and absorb various ray energies in the universe, assisting psionics in the universe. battle in the universe.

At the level of a seventh-level psychic, the psychic wing can even generate a huge propulsion similar to that of a spaceship engine, and absorb more cosmic energy. With a large number of powerful psychic skills, the psychic at this time will have Combat capability and destructive power comparable to space battleships. .

Leo, a psychic, actually has a huge gap with a real sixth-level psychic. Although he has the same psychic power as a sixth-level psychic, his lack of corresponding psychic skills is at best a handicap. A sixth-level psyker in the universe may not even be able to compare with the combat power of a fourth-level psyker.

Now that Leo has figured out the prototype of the psionic wing, this will greatly improve his overall combat power, because a psychic's follow-up with a large number of powerful psionic skills needs to gather cosmic energy through the psionic wing. display.

Take the strategic-level psionic skill Thunder Gun mastered by Leo as an example. Without the psionic wings, the number of times he can use the thunder gun is very small, and its power is much smaller than the real strategic-level psionic skill. But if there is a picture of the support of psionic wings transforming energy, not only will he use the thunder gun more often, but he can even release it much faster, and if he gathers the energy to cast it, the power will definitely be much stronger than before.

What he needs to do now is to become familiar with the skill of psionic wings as soon as possible, so he will not dissipate the psionic wings in normal times, but cover the surface of his body like a close-fitting film, so that he can always be in psionic power. under the influence of wings.

This whimsical training method led to another benefit, that is, the enhanced neural network covering him actually absorbed the energy transformed by the psionic wings, and activated a part of the function of the enhanced neural network with this energy.

Leo didn't hide the psionic ability of the psionic wing, and told Sylvia about it, but he described it as witchcraft when explaining it.

Sylvia naturally wanted to learn this ability, but no matter how Leo explained or demonstrated it, Sylvia was still unable to learn this skill, and Leo could only attribute it to the difference in strength.

"The situation here is not right!" After complaining, Sylvia quickly cleared up her little emotions, then turned her head to look around, with a solemn expression on her face, and said, "I didn't hear Any sound of animal activity."

"Not just animals, not even insects." Leo's mental net spread out, and he quickly figured out the surrounding situation, and said.

"I hope nothing will happen there." Sylvia showed a little worry on her face.

"Go and see." Leo said calmly, and then walked towards Robe Town.

Soon the two passed through a forest and arrived outside the town of Robe.

Like all small towns in the deep mountains, Robe Town also built a wall with thick tree trunks to protect the town within the wall, preventing wild beasts from breaking into the town at night and attacking humans.

On the wall, they also set up several watchtowers. There is a brazier stand at a certain distance outside the town. At night, these brazier stands will be lit to illuminate the surroundings of the town, so that the people in the watchtower can observe the surrounding movement .

However, at this moment, not only are there no guards on the watchtower of the town, but even the surrounding braziers are only left with some ashes and charcoal after burning the wood. Judging from the traces around, no firewood should be added for several days up.

Seeing this scene, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, feeling that the situation in Robe Town might not be optimistic.

"I'll go ahead, pay attention to your surroundings." Leo said something to Sylvia, and then walked towards the gate of the town.

Sylvia also followed after a distance, and she had already taken out the hand crossbow and staff sword.

Leo, who was walking in front, quickly came to the town gate, stretched out his hand and pushed it, but he didn't push it. It seemed that it was locked from the inside.

Leo didn't destroy the town gate, but turned over directly and entered the town.

The town is very quiet and there is no one, and not only is there no one on the street, Leo also found that there is no one in the house through the spiritual network. Judging from the furnishings of various items in the room, no matter how they disappeared, they did not appear act of resistance.

Leo activated his spirit vision, cooperated with the spirit network, and carefully inspected this small town, but found no trace of abnormal energy. This also shows that the townspeople have been missing for a long time, so that Any remaining traces of the anomaly are gone.

After the two walked around the town, they returned to the small square in the center of the town and exchanged views with each other.

Leo gave the clues after his observation, and said: "The disappearance of the townspeople should have happened at night. The furnishings in the house show that the townspeople were resting at that time, and the brazier outside will be refilled with firewood in the morning, and it will be at night. Ignite it, so the missing townspeople can only appear at night."

Sylvia nodded in agreement with Leo's deduction, and added: "They disappeared very suddenly, they disappeared from the town in an instant, which shows that a powerful force appeared at that time, and these forces..." Before she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something suddenly, turned her head and looked at Mount Luobei, which was covered by clouds and fog above the mountainside in the distance, and said, "I think I know when the townspeople here disappeared. It's over!"

"Well! I think it should be at that time." Leo seemed to know what Sylvia wanted to say, and said in a deep voice.

The time the two people mentioned was actually the time when the world changed. A large number of hidden family members or people with special bloodlines lost control, mutated into monsters, and attacked people around them. Although Robe Town is far away from the town, it is located next to a huge and unstable source of abnormal power. The fluctuations caused by the world mutation must have also affected this place, and the power on Mount Robe erupted instantly , Covering Robe Town, and when they converged back, they also took away the townspeople of Robe Town.

"What should we do now? Go up the mountain?" Sylvia asked.

Leo looked at the gradually darkening sky, shook his head, and said, "No, I'd better stay here for one night, and go up the mountain after dawn tomorrow."

"Okay, listen to you." Sylvia nodded, and then suggested: "Let's go to the mayor's house! His house should be the best in the town, maybe we can find something about Robe there Mountain literature."

Leo followed Sylvia's suggestion, and the two walked towards the mayor's house in Robe Town.

The mayor's house is easy to find, the biggest and best house in the whole town.

Although there was some dust in the room because it hadn't been cleaned for several days, it was obviously much cleaner compared to other houses.

The two directly chose the study as a resting place, Sylvia cleared out the resting place, while Leo looked for useful clues in the books and documents in the study.

The books on the bookshelf are worthless, they are all used for decoration, and they are deliberately old, it looks like they are often flipped through, but some documents on the table are useful.

Judging from the documents on the table and other documents filed in the filing cabinet next to the bookshelf, the successive mayors of Robe Town have been recording the changes and movements of Mount Robe, including changes in clouds and fog, as well as movements of animals and plants.

All in all, they will carefully record all movements related to Robe Mountain, and their level of seriousness is obviously not at the same level as that of other official documents.

It would be fine if it was only a few documents, but this kind of document neatly placed an entire filing cabinet, involving the three mayors, and from some indications, there should be other mayors who are also recording the Robe Mountain This is obviously recording the situation of Mount Robe with a strong mission.

"Do you know where the townspeople of Robe come from?" Leo asked after showing these documents only to Sylvia.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "There is no such thing in the information I investigated, it just mentions that they are mountain people from the Minsk Mountains."

Leo said in a deep voice: "I suspect they are survivors of the small town on the mountain." As he spoke, he scanned the mayor's house with the Spirit Net, and found something, and then he turned towards Sylvia, Said: "Come on, let's go and see what good things the mayor has collected."

With that said, he walked out of the study.

Sylvia knew that Leo must have found something and was curious, so she quickly followed.

The two went downstairs, came to the garden behind the mayor's house, and walked into the pavilion in the small garden.

This pavilion is very unique, with unique curtains on all sides, lowering the curtains will not affect the sunlight, but people outside can't see clearly what's going on inside.
