The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Did you find anything good?" Leo asked as he saw Sylvia walking over.

"A box of gems." Sylvia handed the box to Leo and said, "Although it's a little small, it should be able to exchange for a lot of money."

Leo took the box and looked at the gemstones inside. As Sylvia said, these gemstones are a bit small and should be leftovers from other gemstones. Although this is not as valuable as a complete gemstone, some jewelry processing companies will need this Broken gemstones are used to embellish jewelry.

"It seems that you have gained the most from this trip. I only got a few books." Leo handed the few books to Sylvia, then turned his head and looked around, and said, "The reason why this place is The key protection should be for those medicinal materials and books, but it is a pity that these two most precious things were damaged due to poor protection, and the most worthless things were left in the end."

"It's good to be able to gain something," Sylvia flipped through the books casually, handed them back to Leo, and said, "Maybe these books are very precious, and it doesn't mean that they are made of materials that have been specially prepared. The anti-corrosion treatment, the few books treated so carefully by the owner here should not be ordinary books, maybe there is a mystery about the extraordinary power of the elf kingdom hidden in it."

Leo smiled, took the few books, and was noncommittal to Sylvia's words.

The two searched around in the basement again, and after finding nothing else, they turned and left.

After returning to the ground, Leo closed the entrance again. Although the water in the pool was exhausted and the stone slabs at the entrance were somewhat eye-catching, after a few days the pool was completely dry, and with some dust, it could be seen that there was a person with an entrance here. Shouldn't be many.

The two returned to the ruined camp, and some people asked the two in a joking tone if they had found the treasure of the elf kingdom.

Regarding these ridicules, both Leo and Sylvia remained calm and said nothing. They took two roasted rabbits from the caravan chef, sat on the previously laid blanket, and enjoyed them.

Seeing that Leo and Sylvia didn't refute, everyone felt bored. No one said anything to them, and each chatted about their own affairs.

After dinner, there was a bard in the caravan, and he took the opportunity to sing a few popular poems, such as Hoarfrost's prophecy, the demise of Sintra, and the story of the witcher.

Because the bard seems to only know these few songs, the people in the caravan have long been tired of listening to them, so no one cares about him.

However, Leo was somewhat interested in this bard, and when the other party was packing up the piano in his hand, he greeted him and asked him to come over.

Seeing Leo, a foreigner, beckoning him over, the bard felt that he had an opportunity to make money, so he hurried up and asked in a flattering way, "Do you two want to listen to the song?"

"No." Leo shook his head, and when the other party showed a disappointed look, he asked, "Your accent doesn't seem to be from Toussaint?"

"I am from the northern Bovis, the northernmost kingdom." Seeing that Leo had no intention of listening to the song, the bard calmed down and replied very briefly.

Leo asked again: "From the northern country to Toussaint in the south, it seems that you should have experienced many countries and seen many things, right?"

The bard seemed to realize what Leo wanted to do, and his tone became more enthusiastic. He asked, "Does this gentleman want to hear a story? You know, I have been to more than a dozen countries. What Rui I’ve been to Dania, Leiria and Livia, and if it wasn’t for funding, I might be writing my collection of folk tales from the northern countries at Oxenfurt University.”

"Since you have been to so many places in the northern countries, tell me something about the northern countries!" Leo took out a golden shield, handed it over, and said, "This is yours." remuneration."

The bard hurriedly took over the gold shield. Although the currency was not Toussaint's currency, the gold was real. This gold coin was already his reward for the past month, so he was naturally overjoyed.

However, he is still very professional. After the surprise, he quickly suppressed the joy in his heart and calmed down his emotions as much as possible. Bowis of the North began to speak.

Leo and Sylvia listened very carefully. Every time the bard finished talking about a country, they would ask some questions. These questions were common sense questions and did not involve any state secrets. Naturally, the bard did not Begrudgingly answer.

Because the content of the bard was too much, the bard continued talking for several hours, and Leo bought two small barrels of wine halfway to moisten the bard's throat so that the other party could continue talking.

After the other party said some things about the Nilfgaardian Empire, it was already midnight, most of the people had fallen asleep, and the bard was already too tired, feeling in his heart that he was just accepting Leo A gold coin is not worth it.

However, after Leo took out another gold coin to thank him for his narration, the bard's mood improved a lot, and he secretly decided to write a poem to these two generous foreigners.

Leo didn't know the bard's plan. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off and wouldn't take it seriously. He is now carefully remembering what the bard said about the country, system, humanities, customs, etc. of this world. The content, among which the focus is on the things about the witcher and the warlock.

Originally, Leo just wanted to hear about the customs of this world from this bard, but what he didn't expect was that this bard still gave him a little surprise, that is, this bard once had a relationship with a man named White Wolf. The witcher had been in the same caravan, and a few things had happened.

From the mouth of this bard, Leo knew some things about the demon hunter, such as the appearance of the demon hunter, such as the sword skills of the demon hunter, etc., but the most important thing is the attitude of people in this world towards the demon hunter .

Originally, Leo thought that people in this world had a bad enough attitude towards elves and other non-human beings, but what he didn't expect was that these people hated demon hunters even more. In their mouth, those demon hunters were a group of Freak, all the ugly things in the world are concentrated on the demon hunter, as if you will be poisoned if you just look at the demon hunter or talk to the demon hunter.

However, from what the bard said about the things that the demon hunters did, I feel that these demon hunters seem to be warm-hearted and good people who only charge very small rewards to deal with some dangerous monsters, and sometimes they don’t even charge Money, and even gave money to the victims who were attacked by monsters, no matter how they can be connected with the freaks in these populations.

Although he doesn't understand why people here hate demon hunters so much, Leo knows that his desire to pretend to be a demon hunter has come to nothing. Man's situation in this world is such that he can only give up this best disguised identity.

The second half of the night was very quiet. The experienced wandering knights arranged for attendants to be responsible for the night watch, and the caravan also arranged for some people to assist. The bonfire burned more vigorously, and the abnormal situation passed quickly.

In the early morning, when the sun was shining on his face, Leo had already woken up. He gently removed Sylvia's head from his arm, got up from the blanket, found a container, and went to Go into the creek outside the ruins to get fresh water.

At this time, the wandering knights also got up early, washed up by the stream, and carried out some routine training.

When Leo filled the container with water and was about to return to the ruins, the newcomer among the wandering knights couldn't help but yelled at Leo: "Mr. Leo, you said you are a knight of Fran, and I also want to see Fran." Lan Knight's swordsmanship, I wonder if I have the honor to compete with you?"

Leo stopped and looked at him, and said, "Forget it! It's not suitable!"

"What? Are you afraid of losing?" The newcomer provoked Leo. At this time, the wandering knights around him also watched over, as if they were watching the excitement. This also made the newcomer feel that he was rarely noticed once, so he thought I did a right thing, and the expression on my face was even more satisfied.

Leo was silent for a while, looked around at the wandering knights who were watching the scene with smiles on their faces, and said, "I just think it's too boring to compete with you alone. If you want to compete, you can do it together! I will deal with you alone. Everyone."

Leo's words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of all the wandering knights. They all drew out their weapons one by one, shouting loudly to give him a good look.

The cries of the knights also spread to the ruins above. The people from the caravan ran out to see what happened, and found that the wandering knights were pulling out their knight swords and gesticulating at the foreigner. It seemed that something was going to happen. Last night The bard who got a lot of benefits immediately ran to call Sylvia, but Sylvia didn't take it seriously, and walked slowly outside the ruins, standing on a high place where she could see the whole area below, No idea of ​​going down to persuade a fight.

Below, Leo ignored the clamoring wandering knights, turned to the old knight Capello who always looked solemn, and asked: "I don't have a suitable weapon on hand now, can you lend me the sword for me to use?" ?”

The old knight Capello was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "I have two swords, which one do you want to use?"

"I want both, I use two swords." Leo walked over, picked up two knight swords from the old knight, and then walked back to the wandering knights without taking the long sword out of the scabbard Pulling it out, he said to several people: "Let's get started! Don't waste everyone's time."

Seeing Leo's behavior, several wandering knights were furious. They didn't think about anything anymore and drew out their long swords, preparing to teach the foreigner in front of them a lesson, completely forgetting who opened the mouth for provocation.

It's just that even though they were very angry, these wandering knights still didn't choose to besiege, but let the rookie who provoked first make the first move to test the opponent's details.

The rookie didn't think too much, he drew out his long sword and rushed towards Leo, as if he was going to knock Leo down by himself.

However, although the wandering knight's sword was fierce, it was not fast, and Leo easily dodged it. After that, Leo just stuck the long sword in the opponent's foot, and the opponent couldn't hold it back. He rushed forward, tripped his foot, and fell heavily to the ground.

"I said, let's go together! Let's use it as a morning exercise, exercise your body." Leo didn't look at the wandering knight who fell behind him, and raised the long sword in his hand to several other wandering knights , said.

The other wandering knights are not the kind of fledgling rookies. They have experienced a lot of battles, and their vision is naturally not comparable to rookies. They can see that Leo's swordsmanship is extremely strong, just like what Leo said. Unable to cause any trouble to each other, they glanced at each other, then drew out their long swords and spread out, walking towards Leo and surrounding him in the middle.

The people standing on the ruins were all attracted by the fight below. They all held their breath and looked forward to the next fight. As for whether someone would be injured in the fight, they didn't care.

Only Sylvia watched the farce quite bored, and at the same time wondered why Leo did this.

At this time, several wandering knights had already formed an encirclement circle. The novice knights who had been tripped before also got up from the ground and surrounded Leo together. The wandering knights saw that the newcomer made a move, and they also cooperated with each other, locking all of Leo's escape routes with their long swords.

However, facing this kind of siege with nowhere to hide, Leo looked very relaxed. The long sword in his hand danced quickly, and its tricky angle blocked the attacking long sword, and accurately deflected each long sword When they got to the sword momentum of other long swords, let them hit their own people, and then while they forcibly retracted their swords, they slapped the chests of everyone with the blade of the long sword with sheath, easily pushing them away.

Afterwards, these wandering knights used various methods to besiege Leo, but each time the opponent easily cracked it, and they were always able to easily transfer the attacks against him to other people.

At this time, they were thinking whether they should find someone to hug each other, immobilize them, and then attack, but there would be no knightly glory in doing so, if no one else was watching, it would be fine to do so, It’s fine for them not to admit it afterwards, but now many people are watching from the ruins above. If they really do that, then they don’t have to hang around in Toussaint anymore.

Just when these wandering knights were in a dilemma and didn't know what to do next, the old knight Capello said loudly: "Enough! Let's end! You guys have already lost, can't you still see it?" Are you showing mercy to Lord Leo? Otherwise, you would have died the first time you made your move."
