The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The expression on the demon's face naturally did not escape Leo's eyes. He walked up to the demon, squatted down, and said, "I know where you come from, and I know a little bit about it, so don't try to fool me."

"You're looking for death!" The demon restrained his fearful look, and said to Leo in their own language, "It's impossible for me to tell you anything about the abyss of sin. Don't think about it. You kill Leo now. I'm just sending me home, but if I reveal the sinful things I will definitely die, and it's a real death, what do you think I will choose." After finishing speaking, he said to Regal: "Little Guy, use whatever you have! Let me see how far you are from those guys from Sinyuan."

Leo didn't shake his mind because of the other party's words. He stood up and signaled Regal to do as much as possible, and took out more than a dozen bottles of healing potions and put them aside to treat the demon's injuries when necessary.

Seeing this situation, Regil didn't say much, squatted down, picked up the demon, placed it on the table prepared in advance, and then picked up the tools to prepare for it.

"Don't execute the execution first, dissect it first," Alto said to Leo with a pale face, then took out a notebook, stood beside the table with a pen, and said, "Dissect him first, let us understand After his physical structure is established, the effect will be better if he executes the sentence again."

Regil stopped Albert's words, then replaced the tool in his hand with a small scalpel, and then, like an anatomy instructor at the School of Medicine and Herbal Medicine at Oxenfurt University, carefully analyzed and recorded the devil's body from the outside. each feature, and estimate the role of the feature.

The devil claims to be a higher species, and human beings are just some low-level playthings in his eyes, but now he is put on the table like a low-level animal, and people around him look at him without any fear. Some are just curious, excited, like a child who got a new toy.

This contrast in status and identity made him extremely angry, even more than the anger of his limbs being chopped off by Leo, so he cursed Regil and Alto with the most vicious language, and through his special His talent sees through the hearts of the two of them, and specifically speaks out some of the most secret things in their hearts, in order to make them collapse.

But he had just yelled a few words, and Regal used a crowbar to pry his mouth open to the maximum, and then used a metal gag to the top of his upper and lower jaws, closing his mouth Fully propped up.

After that, Regil took out the pliers and pulled out the devil's fangs one by one. Alto took out a bottle from there and put away all the fangs. How long did the recovery take, recorded the recovery process, and collected some demon blood.

After that, they pulled out the scales on the demon's body, pulled out the scalp of the demon, and conducted detailed research and analysis on various parts of the demon's body.

Leo also stepped forward at this time and participated in the research. Although his hands-on ability was not comparable to that of Regill, and his experience in analyzing experiments was not as good as Alto's, he still had in his mind the idea that the Earth Federation had done countless times in the past. In the records of biological experiments, there are some steps and methods specially used for dissection and analysis of alien creatures. These steps and methods can also be applied to this demon.

After putting forward a few very useful opinions, both Regiel and Alto also subconsciously believed that Leo was a very knowledgeable biologist, so when there were problems, they would ask Leo more. good idea.

In this way, the devil's teeth were stripped off, his tongue was cut off, the scales on his body were stripped off, his scalp was pulled out, and even the skin on his body was cut like an open coat, exposing the muscles inside. And internal organs, and after the blood on his body flowed out, Leo took the initiative to collect it into bottles with psychic energy. All in all, it looked extremely miserable.

Although the demon was made so miserable, he couldn't die. Because of Leo's healing potion, his vitality became extremely strong, coupled with his strong self-healing ability, his injury looked serious, but it was not fatal at all.

He could only feel the pain in his body, and he couldn't even yell out, because just now, after his tongue was cut open, his Adam's apple was also taken away.

Leo seemed to feel that this level of pain was too easy for the demon, so he drilled a hole in the demon's spine, and then poured a special concoction into it, and the function of these concoctions was very simple , is to make the nerves that use various parts of the body sensitive, and also increase the pain of the devil in disguise.

All the people in the room were immersed in dissecting the devil, but there was one exception. He frowned after watching for a while.

For Geralt, let him kill enemies, kill monsters, and take away valuable things from monsters. His behavior was a bit contrary, so after watching for a while, Geralt gave up his curiosity about the origin of the demon, and without saying anything, he turned and left the basement, planning to hunt nearby and prepare lunch for several people.

In the next few days, several people were studying the body structure of the devil in this abandoned manor. Even Leo seemed to be obsessed with it, feeling that he completely forgot that his purpose was to obtain information about the sinful abyss from the devil.

Because of the support of Leo's healing potion and the demon's own self-healing talent, their dissection techniques are more direct, and they don't need to think too much about whether it will cause the demon's death.

After knowing that they were dissecting the demon, Fringira also ran over to see it, but quickly escaped from the basement, apparently frightened by Leo's crazy state, just a reminder that it had changed. Geralt, who became a personal chef, sorted out the autopsy materials and asked him to take them back to give him a copy, and ran out of the manor as if fleeing.

Sylvia also heard that Fringilla mentioned the tragedy of the demons, but at this time she was leading the Knights of Light in its first regular war against the lord of Belhaven on the northern border.

The attack she encountered two days ago was the work of Lord Belhaven, and it was not only her Knights of Light who were attacked, the caravans protected by other wandering knights were also attacked, not only property was damaged The loss, even the loss of personnel is quite a lot.

This is because Belhaven suffered a snowstorm, and the lord Belhaven also suffered a lot of losses in the snowstorm. In order to make up for the loss, they set their minds on the wealthy neighbors in the south and sent the lord's army disguised as bandits. , Entering the territory of Toussaint to rob wealth and food.

Although Belhaven's army had camouflaged, the camouflage was very poor, just like no camouflage, so it was quickly seen through, but Toussaint could do nothing in the face of this situation.

Because the Wandering Knights have always been in charge of the internal security of Toussaint, they have no right to crusade against other lords, and the Duke's Guard only guards the area around Bowclairland, so even if they know that Lord Belhaven did it, they can only swallow their anger, Only strengthen the passive defense of the manpower escorting the caravan, and wait until the next spring to send people to the Nilfgaard Empire to appeal, asking the Nilfgaard Empire to punish Lord Belhaven.

Almost everyone in Toussaint believed that appealing to the Nilfgaard Empire was the only way, but Sylvia did not intend to do so. She had no intention of letting these Belhaven troops go. On the day she got the news, So he led his knights, found the hiding places of those troops, and wiped out those Lord Belhaven's troops who sneaked into Toussaint to rob.

After extorting conclusive testimony from these people, Sylvia took the testimony to meet the Duchess, and the two talked alone in the study all afternoon, and they didn't know what the content of the discussion was. When Sylvia left, she had an appointment letter in her hand.

With this letter of appointment, she gathered several other wandering knights together and told them about the crusade against Lord Belhaven.

Although all the wandering knights were extremely surprised by this matter, no one objected to it. On the contrary, they supported this decision very much. After all, their people had lost a lot at the hands of Lord Belhaven, and they had long wanted to be rewarded. Yes, it's just that they can't fight back due to Toussaint's rules. Now that Sylvia has come up with the duchess' crusade order, they are naturally happy to see this.

The only thing that made them dissatisfied was that the duchess handed over this matter to Sylvia, and appointed her as the leader of the crusade team, and the other wandering knights had to obey her orders.

It's just dissatisfaction, but they dare not disobey this order. After all, with Sylvia's various actions, her reputation has grown, and her admirers are countless, even among those wandering knights. There are also quite a few people who are her admirers. If it weren't for the very strict conditions for joining the Knights of Light and the limited number of people, most of the members of the Wandering Knights would have switched to the Knights of Light.

For example, they received a letter from Sylvia before, indicating that the Duchess was awakening to attack the Lord Belhaven, and asked them to go to the Knights of Light to discuss specific matters. Sylvia's words of praise made everyone want to join the Knights of Light immediately.

Under such circumstances, even if they wanted to disobey Sylvia's order, those under them would probably not agree, and the position of head of the Knights might be replaced by then.

Compared with the members of these Wandering Knights, Sylvia has formally led soldiers and fought in battles, and it was a large-scale war. She served in the war between the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France. She has been a frontline commander for half a year, so she knows things like marching and fighting very well.

After being appointed, she immediately began to prepare for the war. When the Wandering Knights gathered, the pre-war preparations were in place. They set off, completely abandoned the infantry, and directly attacked the cavalry, breaking into the outer territory of Belhaven as quickly as possible.

On the fifth day after Leo and the others formally dissected the demon, she and her knights had already defeated all Belhaven's army, captured a large number of nobles, and pushed the battle line under Belhaven Castle.

At this moment, Lord Belhaven was completely frightened. Before Sylvia arrived, he closed the gate of the castle, hiding in the castle and not daring to move.

Because she didn't bring infantry and no siege equipment, Sylvia couldn't attack the city, but she had already expected this to happen, so after she settled down, she dispatched two wandering knights to split up Raid the villages in Belhaven and let them take all the villages and take them to Toussaint.

After Toussaint experienced the snow disaster, many places must be rebuilt, and the population is lacking. Belhaven's population can just fill this vacancy. After Belhaven loses these farmers, Belhaven's land will be empty Farming, the caravan will not pass through here after knowing that Belhaven's army is pretending to be thieves to rob the caravan. In addition, Lord Belhaven needs to prepare a ransom to redeem the nobles, so in the end Belhaven's situation will only be getting worse.

Sylvia didn't plan to stay here for too long, because she found that the weather had gotten a lot colder in the past few days, so she decided to wait until the population of the surrounding villages was almost plundered before withdrawing.

Originally, she was planning to write to Leo, asking him to come to Belhaven Castle. She wanted to use Leo's ability to open the castle, capture Lord Belhaven himself, and return to Toussaint with a complete victory. .

But several seasoned knights under her commanded her not to do that, because if Lord Belhaven was really captured, it would be difficult for the Duchess, and she would let Lord Belhaven go directly, which would definitely affect the Duchess Imprisoning Lord Belhaven without gaining the prestige of the people would be a bit too much, and it would definitely not be easy to explain to the Nilfgaardian Empire.

So the current situation is the best result. It not only taught Lord Belhaven a painful lesson, but also made the Nilfgaardian Empire unable to find any excuses.

Sylvia finally followed these suggestions and did not send a letter to Leo asking him to come over, and also decided to withdraw in two days.

In the city, Belhaven's army had been shattered by Sylvia long ago. After the third day of the siege, they could only watch Sylvia and the others bring a large number of Belhaven's peasant craftsmen to Tao Move in the center direction.

Although the Knights seemed to be in chaos at the moment and had an opportunity to take advantage of, Belhaven's army did not open the city gates to attack them at all, and watched them leave like this, which made Sylvia lose some of her original arrangements. played a role.
