The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo asked in a deep voice: "Then I have encountered the same situation, do I need to test the authenticity according to your method?"

Sylvia didn't answer, just looked at him.

Leo shrugged and said nothing more.

The two continued to walk towards the mountainside, but this time they were no longer as far apart as before, and they would take care of each other, always keeping each other within their sight.

After walking for some time, Leo stopped, looked around, and said, "We should be in the thick fog now."

Sylvia also looked around and understood why Leo said that, because the surrounding plants had all turned into strange plants that she didn't recognize, and all the plants that belonged to Velen's world had disappeared. In addition, the rainwater falling from the sky It has become much hotter, and the rain has a pungent sulfur smell,

"How do we go now?" Sylvia asked.

Leo didn't answer right away, but was silent for a moment, then pointed to the right, and said, "Go this way!"

After speaking, he walked in the opposite direction of his fingers.

Sylvia was stunned when she saw it, and hurried to catch up, saying, "You're going in the wrong direction."

Leo shook his head and explained: "Don't trust your sense of direction. Any sense of direction you have here, any common sense to identify the direction in the normal world is wrong. The only thing you can rely on is intuition."

Sylvia frowned, as if it was difficult to accept such a statement, but she didn't say much, and followed Leo in what she thought was the wrong direction.

After walking for about ten minutes, Sylvia felt that Leo should be reminded again, it is not too late to turn around and find the right path.

But at this time, the trees in front of him suddenly began to thin out, and the weeds disappeared. After walking a little further, the trees also became thinner, and the sulfur-smelling rain also weakened.

After walking for another two minutes, a bright light appeared in the gap between the woods in front of them. They quickened their pace, and finally passed through the woods and entered the middle.

From darkness to light, it took the untrained Sylvia a little time for her eyes to return to normal, but after returning to normal, the scene in her eyes made her gasp.

It's not that the scene in front of me is so bad, but the scenery here is so beautiful, she has been to so many places, there is absolutely no place that can compare with this place, the blue sky, bright flowers, green leaves, The fresh air and the breeze blowing from the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance make it feel hot even though the sun is shining brightly.

Then, she turned her head to look at the woods behind her, and looked up to the sky, to see what kind of rain cloud could rain so hot and full of sulfur smell, but she found that the woods she had walked before had disappeared, Behind him is a field full of strange fruits, and there are no rain clouds in the sky, only some thin white clouds floating slowly.

Sylvia was at a loss for everything in front of her, and when she couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality, she turned her head to ask Leo for help, but she found that Leo was looking at him with a surprised and puzzled expression. In the nearby field, the kind of weird fruit supported by a shelf.

The reason why this kind of fruit is weird is because this kind of fruit hangs on the fragile vine and needs to be supported by a bracket, and each fruit is composed of many small fruits, hanging down a large bunch, which feels like Same as fish eggs.

"Do you know this fruit?" Sylvia asked after seeing Leo's expression.

"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted, "This kind of fruit is called grapes."

"Grapes?" Sylvia was stunned, and the grape plantation in Bodo area appeared in her mind, and she said, "Aren't grapes that oval in shape, with a layer of skin on the outside, and all the fruit inside is juice?"

"Yes, those are grapes from the world of Velen." Leo knew that there would be such a dance, so he explained: "This is a grape from other worlds."

He added another sentence in his heart and said, "This is the grape of my world."

Leo walked to a vine full of fruits, and then picked two fruits casually, ate one by himself, and handed the other to Sylvia.

"Can this be eaten?" Sylvia took the pearl-sized fruit and looked at it. Seeing that Leo was fine after eating it, she stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it twice, but soon spit out the fruit He came out, spit out several mouthfuls of water, rinsed his mouth with the small water bottle he carried with him, and then yelled at Leo: "It's so unpalatable, sour and astringent, how can you eat it?"

Leo smiled and said, "These are grapes for wine making. Of course they are sour and astringent. I don't want to be as sweet as edible grapes, but the wine made from these grapes should be very good."

At this time, at the end of this idyllic path, a human being dressed like a farmer in the old lord era hundreds of years ago ran towards them, and spoke loudly to them in a language they had never heard before, It looked like he was questioning them.

And hearing this person's words, Leo responded very quickly as if he knew the person's language by nature, and then asked a few more questions as if asking questions, and then took out a golden shield from his pocket Passed it to the person, and after the person took it, his original angry expression changed to a smile. Every time Leo asked a question in that unknown language, he would answer it in detail, and pointed a few times. direction.

After asking seven or eight questions in this way, Leo signaled that he could leave, and then took Sylvia up the path beside the field and walked in one of the directions.

"What's going on here? How do you understand that person's language?" Sylvia, suppressing her curiosity, couldn't wait to ask.

"This language is not the language of the Velen world, it comes from another world." Leo didn't know how to explain to Sylvia that the language he spoke and the language spoken by the people here were actually the old earth era of the Earth Federation language of a country.

Sylvia looked at Leo with the eyes of a fool, because Leo's answer was completely nonsense. In this environment and situation, no matter how stupid people are, they will know that they have come to another world. His language is naturally the language of another world.

Sylvia didn't bother with the language anymore, and instead asked, "Do you know where this is?"

"I think I should know where this is." Leo said with a serious expression.

"Should?" Sylvia couldn't help looking at Leo curiously when she heard Leo's unconfident tone.

Leo was silent for a while, and said: "I just heard about a place from a friend, but I don't know much about that place. Just now I asked the farmer what the name of this place is, and he replied that my name is what my friend mentioned. The name of the place, I just don't know if the two are the same place."

"What's the name here?" Sylvia asked again.

"Toussaint, the land of blood and wine." Leo explained.

When he was in Lake Town, Leo met a woman who also came from another world. That woman was called Javier. He got along very well with this woman, and learned the alchemy and magic seal of the witcher from this woman. , these two knowledges helped him a lot in the future, especially the Demon Hunter's Seal, which allowed him to gradually sort out his own offensive and defensive psionic skills. Until now, he still uses the power of nightmares to imitate many times. The witcher's sign comes out to cooperate with other psionic skills.

At that time, Javier would mention some places in her hometown when chatting, such as Sintra, Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, Thaned Island, etc., and Toussaint is also her focus The place mentioned, in her words, this place is like a fairyland, with spring all year round, blooming flowers, lush plants, countless fine wines made from grapes, and countless knights fighting for glory etc.

Of course, she also mentioned the history of Toussaint, the history of the bloody massacre against the elves, so later she also mentioned a nickname her world gave Toussaint, the land of blood and wine.

On the way to a nearby town, Leo gave Sylvia a detailed introduction to the world and things about Toussaint.

Sylvia listened carefully and carefully, and sent messages from time to time, especially interested in the knights of Toussaint.

You must know that Sylvia is a native of France, and the Knights of France have occupied the number one position in the world for a long time. If infantry weapons such as steam crossbows did not appear, the Knights of France might still be the number one on the world military stage. gem.

When Sylvia was disguised as Baron de Maupassant, she had been knighted and received very formal knight training. People from other countries could not understand that kind of knight feeling, so when she heard that Toussaint was popular as a knight When I was there, I had an idea in my heart.

"How do you know so much about the things here?" After listening to Leo's narration, Sylvia couldn't help asking in doubt: "Did you get so much information during the conversation just now?"

"Of course it's impossible." Leo shook his head and said, "When I was in Lake Town, I met a friend from another world. She was from Toussaint."

"Her?" Sylvia replied meaningfully.

Leo didn't realize the problem with Sylvia's tone, and said to himself: "Her name is Jivie, and in the words here, she is a bird called a swallow. If you meet her, you will I like her, she is very similar to your character."

The two walked for a certain distance, and happened to meet a carriage transporting new wine barrels, and then boarded the carriage and came to a nearby town.

The town is not big, and it can only be regarded as a village. There are more than a dozen houses scattered around the fountain in the middle of the town. The houses are very simple, and they are huts made of wood and mud bricks.

Most of the people living in the town are workers and farmers working in the nearby vineyards. The town and the surrounding vineyards belonged to a Temerian count who was so obsessed with wine making that he sold his Temeria's family moved to Toussaint to buy a suitable land to grow grapes and make fine wine.

However, the best land in Toussaint was divided up by the local nobles, and the rest was the exclusive land of the Toussaint royal family, which was impossible to sell, so he could only buy a piece of land in a relatively remote place to realize his dream. Brewing dreams.

Because of the remote location, there were no entertainment activities here. The only tavern in the town that could provide entertainment was the only tavern in the town. There was no hotel. If you wanted to spend the night, you had to vacate a utility room in the backyard of the tavern.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia is the particular kind of person. Even if they don't have a room, they can spend a night in the wild and have a house is enough.

While Sylvia was cleaning up the house, Leo, who knew the language here, went to the tavern and chatted with the local grape growers and winemakers for a while.

Seeing Leo's clothing that was obviously different from the local style, these Taussaints regarded Leo as a stranger who came to the knight meeting but encountered local robbers, so they comforted Leo, While talking about a lot of local stories in Toussaint.

After getting the words out of these people, Leo returned to the utility room. Sylvia had already tidied up the place. Although it would not be very comfortable to sleep here, at least there was someone who could shelter from the wind and rain. The place.

"Did you find anything useful?" Sylvia asked impatiently after Leo returned.

Leo explained the things he asked in detail, such as the ongoing knight meeting, and the annual wine festival is about to be held again, and there is a distance from the royal city of Toussaint, riding a horse It will take at least one day to go, and the road is very dangerous. It would be safer to walk with the patrol team composed of wandering knights.

After listening to the news Leo heard, Sylvia was very interested in the Knights Conference and the Wandering Knights. After asking about related matters, she decided that she would dress up as a Wandering Knight and attend the Knights Conference to make up for her absence. Fran regretted not being able to participate in the real knight tournament.

Leo didn't object to Sylvia's eagerness to realize her dream. He also thought it was a good idea to become a wandering knight, but now he cared more about other things, one of which was money.

They don't know how long they will stay here, so money is needed for life, and now the only thing he can really use on hand is the Savile Gold Shield, because gold is still a hard currency here, even if it is not the national currency, as long as it is gold, it can still be used .

But the problem is that he doesn't have many gold shields on hand. If he wants to pretend to be a wandering knight, then at least one knight's armor and a horse must be prepared. There are very few, and I don't know when it will run out.

So before running out, he needs to find other ways to make money, and now he has thought of a temporary solution, which is to learn from the wandering knights to fight against the bandits in Toussaint, and accept some employment tasks from the local nobles, so that they can wander The knight's disguise is more similar, and he can understand the surrounding environment better.
