The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

This basement is transformed from a natural cave. Most of the cave retains its original shape. Only some support columns are added in some key places. Torches and braziers are placed on the support columns and some walls. It should be It is used for lighting, but because of the age, the wood inside is still decayed.

Leo and Sylvia walked along a small stone step for a distance and came to a small hall.

This hall is a bit big, built like a banquet hall of a certain castle, with a huge brazier carved out of stone in the middle, surrounded by three stone sculptures, surrounded by four small rooms of the same size, the rooms have no doors, But there is a blue barrier similar to the energy field to form a wall to seal the room, but things in the room can still be seen.

I saw that those rooms were a study room, a laboratory with a lot of alchemy equipment, a bedroom and a storage room.

"It looks like this should be someone's secret base at that time!" Seeing the scene in front of her, Sylvia smiled and said.

"Being able to build such a secret base and keep the energy for such a long time, it seems that the identity of the owner of this secret base is not simple!" Leo briefly analyzed, and said: "I hope some valuable things can be left here. .”

At this time, Sylvia stepped into the hall, and Leo who was following behind suddenly felt the calm energy around the front suddenly activated, and then rushed toward the three stone statues beside the brazier like a tide .

"Be careful, there is something wrong with those three stone statues." Leo handed the torch to Sylvia, walked forward quickly, activated the enhanced neural network on his body, and said to Sylvia: "Help me in the back alert."

While speaking, the three stone statues shook almost at the same time, and slowly stood up from the ground.

Leo knew very well that the three stone statues might be something like a warning robot, so he naturally wouldn't wait for the three stone statues to be ready to attack, so he kicked his right leg hard on the ground, and the stone slab under his feet was also huge. It was crushed and shattered by the powerful force, and he rushed towards a stone statue like a shell.

The stone statue didn't enter the fighting state at all, and was punched in the waist by Leo who was wearing a twin glove.

The force transmitted from the glove was like some kind of heavy artillery shell, breaking the waist of this three-meter-high stone figure, and the upper and lower parts of the body were even carried away by the remaining force. It hit the stone figure on the other side, knocking it to the ground.

Leo, who succeeded in one blow, did not stop there, his body moved sideways, and rushed down in front of another unaffected stone figure.

The stone statue seemed to have entered an attack state, and when Leo approached, he punched Leo's head directly.

Although the fist is powerful and heavy, but the speed is too slow, not to mention that the neural network has been activated and strengthened, even if it is not activated, it is very easy for Leo to avoid such an attack.

Leo turned his head slightly to avoid the stone fist that hit him, and then his fist, which was already full of strength, hit a leg of the stone statue, directly breaking that leg.

Losing the support of one leg, the stone figure fell to the ground, and Leo circled around to avoid the fallen stone figure. At the same time, his fist followed the rotation of his body and hit the head of the stone figure with one punch. The whole thing was smashed to pieces.

When Leo, who had dealt with the two stone statues, was about to deal with the third one, Sylvia had already drawn out his sword and cut the stone statue in half.

Sensing that the energy of the three stone statues was dissipating rapidly, and could no longer form the power to move, Leo picked up the torch on the ground, and was about to check if there were other defensive means around, but he found that Sylvia was His expression seemed a little serious, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is something wrong with my stick sword." Sylvia looked at the stick sword in her hand and said, "It's not as sharp as before, and I feel that the power in the stick sword is weakening and losing, and many abilities can no longer be used. .”

"It seems that this stick sword is the same as some of my powers, and it will also be affected by different worlds." Leo took the stick sword from Sylvia's hand, checked it carefully, and said: "You It is best not to use this sword anymore, otherwise if all the power inside is lost, this sword may suffer irreversible damage."

"Hmm!" Sylvia replied with some helplessness. She finally got a sharp weapon. She was just familiar with it and adapted to it, but she couldn't use it. This made her a little unhappy.

"Where's the crossbow?" The careful Leo asked again.

"Hand crossbow? It should be fine, right? I used it just now." Sylvia hesitated for a moment, her tone was not so sure, she took off the hand crossbow hanging from her waist to check, and her slightly frowned brows showed that the situation seemed to be serious. Not very good, "It can only be used as an ordinary hand crossbow, and the extraordinary power inside cannot be used either."

Leo comforted her and said, "It's okay, even if you can't use extraordinary power, this crossbow is still a sharp weapon in this world."

"Hmm!" Sylvia replied noncommittally, hung the crossbow on her waist, put the stick sword back into the scabbard, turned back into a cane, then looked around, and asked: "Is there anything else here?" Fortifications?"

Leo inspected the surroundings carefully, felt the surrounding power, and said: "There should be none, what we have to do now is to deal with these walls formed by extraordinary power."

"Let's start with... Hey, what is this?" Sylvia was about to go to the door of the collection room to find a solution to the wall, but found a flash of light on the broken stones on the ground, so she immediately stopped Lei Oh, squatted down, swept away the gravel, and found a gemstone the size of an eyeball from the gravel.

"It looks like we don't need to worry about money anymore." Sylvia handed the gemstone in her hand to Leo, and then found similar gemstones from the other two piles of rubble of stone figures.

Leo took a look at the gem, shook his head slightly, and said: "This should be the energy core of these stone figures. The stone figure was destroyed, and the energy core was also damaged. Take a closer look and there are cracks in the gem. I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell at a good price."

Sylvia was a little unwilling to believe it. She looked at the gemstone in her hand against the light of the torch, curled her lips helplessly, turned her head to look at the collection room, and said, "I hope there are good things in there."

The two walked outside the storage room. Through the transparent wall of the force field, they could see that there were more than a dozen boxes, large and small, neatly placed in the storage room. Not to mention that more than a dozen boxes are treasures, as long as one box contains With something of value stored away, they don't have to worry about money anymore.

Leo didn't touch the seemingly harmless wall of the force field rashly, but picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the wall of the force field.

I saw that when the stone hit the wall of the force field, a spark erupted immediately, and then the stone was bounced away, and there were burn marks on the surface.

"There is such a magical and extraordinary power. I really can't figure out how those elves were defeated by ordinary humans in Toussaint?" After seeing the effect of the force field wall, Sylvia couldn't help but ask again.

Regarding this point, Leo also couldn't figure it out, so he didn't give any answer.

Leo picked up a few more stones from the ground, and then kept throwing them on the wall of the force field, arousing the energy reaction on the wall of the force field. Soon he found the source of the force field wall.

"Are these the Turing roots of this world?" Sylvia looked at the mysterious patterns on the wall and asked Leo beside her.

"No, these not only contain the roots of Turing, but also contain rune magic." Leo corrected his statement, and carefully looked at these patterns full of mysterious power, holding these patterns and the pattern he had mastered at the same time. The root of the spirit character and the rune knowledge learned by Hushang Town are compared.

Although the patterns on the wall are quite different from the supernatural knowledge that Leo has mastered, the internal principles are all related. Even Leo doubts that the supernatural power of this world is related to the root of Turing in Vinylon world and the symbol of Lake Town. Literary magic all come from the same source.

"Is this wall difficult to solve?" Sylvia asked when she saw Leo standing in front of the wall for a long time with his brows tightly locked.

"No! These walls are easy to solve. I'm just memorizing the rules and details of the pattern magic on them." Leo recovered from his contemplation, explained a bit, and asked Sylvia to wait a little longer, followed Continue to write down those things that have not been written down.

After repeated confirmation twice, Leo signaled Sylvia to step back a distance, and then used the power of nightmare to imitate the sign of Arden in the witcher's sign, and set up a magic trap on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, I saw crackling noises on the wall like a short-circuited wire, and some energy sparks erupted, and the surrounding force field walls also flickered brightly and darkly. Finally, a dazzling energy light erupted from the patterned wall, All force field walls disappear.

Seeing the effect of the Demon Hunter's Seal in front of him, Leo couldn't help thinking that the person who created the Arden's Sign back then might not only intend to use the Arden's Sign to create traps, but also intended to use it to destroy traps, I have to say , using the Arden Sign to destroy other extraordinary power traps and arrangements, the effect is unexpectedly good.

"It stinks!" After seeing the wall of the force field disappear, Sylvia couldn't wait to walk towards the storage room, but as soon as she entered the storage room, she quickly backed out, holding her nose.

When Leo walked over, he also smelled a pungent stench, so he used psionic energy to directly cover the stench in the room, pulled them out and threw them on the torch.

Sure enough, the stench contained flammable gas, causing the torch to emit more than twice as much light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, but soon the light faded as the stench burned away. And back to normal.

After cleaning up the smell, Leo held a torch and entered the room. Although there was still some smell lingering in the room, it was much better than before.

"I don't have any hope for these boxes." Sylvia walked in behind, and couldn't help smiling wryly at the smell coming from the boxes.

Leo reached out to open the boxes one by one, and saw that there were some herbs in the boxes, but these herbs had already been completely corrupted into dust, and the smell produced by the corruption was sealed in the room by the force field wall and could not dissipate. Only then did the scene just now happen.

"Maybe there is something to be gained in other rooms?" Leo comforted Sylvia, and then asked Sylvia to search the bedroom room where the property was most likely to be stored, while he walked to the alchemy laboratory.

Jivie Elle taught Leo the alchemy of the demon hunter and the equipment of alchemy. Leo specially made a set of equipment when he was in Port of Sete, and specially designed some for his own needs. It has a specific function, so when he saw the alchemy equipment in front of him, he didn't feel strange.

Although the equipment here is much more than the equipment used by the witcher in alchemy, and there are a few more equipment with unknown functions than the equipment he used in Port of Sete and the equipment in his storage space, but The basic usage principles of these equipment are the same, and Leo can easily identify the functions of these equipment, and deduce the process of using the equipment when making various medicines.

In this room, apart from the slightly valuable set of well-preserved alchemy equipment, there are only a few bottles of potions with unknown functions on the table that may be worth some money. Of course, the premise is to know the efficacy of these potions.

Leo did not uncork the bottle rashly to check the effect of the potion in the bottle. This is not only to guard against the danger of the potion itself, but also to prevent the potion from volatilizing and weakening the effect after the cork is pulled out.

Leo put away these bottles of medicine, and prepared to see if there was a pharmacist in Bauclan when he arrived in Bauclan, and asked the pharmacist to identify the effects of these bottles of medicine.

After packing up the potion, Leo double-checked that there was nothing missing in this room, then turned and went to the study next to him.

Just as Leo guessed, almost all the books in this room were completely damaged. On the surface, they seemed to be intact, but after picking them up, except for the cover, the pages of the books were all turned into fragments and dust.

Only a few books supported by tanned animal skins survived, but these books were all written in a font he didn't know, and this font seemed to contain special powers. The patterns should be exactly the same.

"It seems that it is necessary to learn the Elvish language of this world." Leo put away the few books in his hand, turned and left the study.

At this time, Sylvia also came out from the opposite bedroom. Judging from the smile on her face, she should have gained something there.
