The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

With the sound of whistles, a steel steamship that had been launched for less than half a year slowly left the port of Lyon. Leo stood on the first-class viewing platform near the captain's cabin, looking at the shrinking port of Lyon. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

When Leo left, Diego sent a pottery urn from the lost civilization in the desert and asked Dio Browno to help him study it. Dio was quickly attracted by the information of ancient civilization contained in the pottery urn, and devoted himself to it. I was immersed in the research and completely forgot about Leo's departure.

As a bystander, Leo knew very well that Diego did this to prevent Dio Browno from going to a dangerous place like the dock area, so as not to be assassinated again, but the other party didn't know that those dangers had been taken by Leo last night. Solved, the dock area is safe.

Leo did not intend to tell Diego this, because in this way, Diego and the boss behind him will always keep Dior Browno's protection tight, which is beneficial to Dior's future security issues.

The weird fruits obtained from the two Wakanha killers last night are being played by Leo in his hands. After a night of research, Leo can be sure that these two things are real fruits, and the ones that appear to be from the devil The distorted patterns on the body were not intentionally drawn, but it was already like this when it grew out.

Now it seems that there are only two functions of this kind of fruit. One is the restriction. The person who planted the fruit in the body will be subject to a kind of restriction. As long as he is forced to ask more than a certain number of questions when he is unable to resist, the fruit will be swallowed Host.

The other should be to strengthen the human body. Although these Wakhanha killers are vulnerable to Leo, it is the result of Leo's full attack. After all, his body has evolved at least twice, and his physical fitness is not counted as spiritual power. If not, it is already comparable to the strongest armed biochemical man in the Earth Federation. However, those Wakhanha killers did not die under such a powerful attack, which shows that their physical strength is extraordinary, even compared to those family members who are known for their strength.

From a certain point of view, these Wakanha people who have been planted with fruits should also be regarded as a different kind of family. Their bodies have not mutated, and all their strength comes from the fruits. Once the fruits are gone, they will start again. turned back into an ordinary person.

It's just that on the surface, the fruit does have only two abilities, but Leo feels that the fruit should also hide other abilities.

If you want to study the true power of this fruit, the best way is naturally to re-implant the fruit into someone else's body, draw out the power of the fruit, and then directly study the host. It is not in line with his current personality to let him attack innocent people, so he can only expect to meet some pirates who don't have eyesight during the days of sailing at sea.

However, it is clear that even the most stupid pirate would not want to use his sailing ship to rob a steel steam ship.

During the few days on the boat, Leo had a very fulfilling life. He reorganized the books he had recorded and the knowledge he had learned, so that he could use the knowledge freely and quickly without the help of his sub-brain.

Before Leo left, the most useful knowledge for Leo in Dio Browno's one-day surprise teaching was not the research on ancient civilizations that Dio valued, nor the new discoveries about the Gamore language, but the knowledge that Dio had learned over the years. The experience and methods accumulated in the research of ancient civilizations and ancient languages.

Leo, who has learned these methods, can now analyze the knowledge he obtained from the Web Weaver step by step, and gradually understand the mysteries of ancient mysterious things such as gods, family members, and psionic creatures called ancient beasts.

In the process of rearranging, Leo found a lot of mistakes in the knowledge of the web weavers he had previously interpreted, because he only interpreted the recognizable text and patterns, but actually mixed in between the text and patterns. Patterns are also some variant characters. The meanings of these variant characters are very complicated, and when it is in a different position, the interpretation of this sentence is completely different.

For example, the part about the son of the swamp, judging from the part of the previous interpretation, these contents are all about the habits and abilities of the son of the swamp.

But now if you add those variant characters, and add the meaning of these variant characters according to Dior Browno's analysis method, you will find that these characters have become another meaning. Its content is no longer to introduce the son of the swamp, but to introduce a swamp species that Leo has only heard of but never seen.

This new content suggests that the slime and the son of the swamp are in a symbiotic relationship. When the son of the swamp is a larva, he will bury his whole body inside the monster of the slime. Provides nutrition.

When the Swamp Son becomes an adult, he will leave the slime monster, but before he leaves, he will donate part of his body to the slime monster. The slime monster can use this part of his body to sacrifice to a god named the mother of the swamp, and split into a new slime monster .

Rearranging and interpreting this knowledge is extremely brain-intensive. Even though Leo's brain has evolved and retains part of the ability of the sub-brain, it is still very difficult to cope with it. Usually it takes half a day to reach the limit, and the rest He spends most of his time refining potions and making his own wizard wonders.

Because there are a lot of available raw materials on hand, there is no need to worry about such troublesome things as not being able to supply the materials. This allowed Leo to pass a lot of refining experiments and master a lot of refining skills, which led to a rapid increase in the types of finished potions. From A few kinds of potions such as healing potions and cat potions have increased to more than twenty potions with different functions.

Until he used up all the potion materials from family members and monsters in his storage space, the types of potions that he could easily refine without making mistakes had increased to five, and there were thirteen more that were successful. The rate is between 30% and 60%. As for other types of potions, you need to try your luck. As for the number of his potion storage, it has also increased to more than one hundred bottles, of which there are three that he defines as powerful potions.

Leo has only one definition of a powerful potion, that is, after taking it, it can directly increase its own strength by more than double.

The three powerful potions currently extracted by Leo are different. One is the thunder potion in the demon hunter potion. The effect of this potion is to make the body's strength , reaction and agility are at least doubled, and the side effect is that after taking it, a certain amount of toxins will accumulate in the body. Before the toxins are excreted from the body, you can no longer take any witcher potions.

The other two potions are wizard potions, one is self-healing potion, this kind of potion is an improved healing potion, its function not only can make fatal and non-fatal wounds on the body recover in a short time, but also can make these This self-healing effect lasts for a period of time, and the length of the maintenance time depends on the amount of self-healing injuries.

The last one is a very pure psychic potion. To put it bluntly, this potion is a compressive agent for psychic energy. Only Leo could use this kind of potion. Others, even sixth-level psykers, would be injured or even die under the sudden surge of psychic energy.

Only Leo can use the super absorption ability of the chaotic stomach to make this compressed and purified spiritual potion work without harming himself, and its function is very simple, allowing Leo's spiritual energy to increase in a short time Three times, the recovery speed of spiritual energy is five times that of normal time, and he can use the witchcraft he knows at will without worrying about running out of spiritual energy.

The refining of potions is easy for Leo because he has refining experience, and with the increase of experience and the mastery of skills, the refining process becomes easier. Compared with refining potions, he encountered some difficulties in making wizards and wonders, and wasted a lot of bone materials.

The bone talisman is a kind of wizard's wonder that Leo saw in the wizard's notebook of the wilderness wizard. It is not correct to say that it is a wizard's wonder. According to the records in that notebook, this kind of thing is more suitable to be called a shaman's wonder .

However, this wizard's notebook does not record the production method of this kind of shaman's strange object. On the contrary, Leo saw the method of making this kind of wizard's strange object from the book provided by Dio Browno last night. The book completely regards this production method as a primitive religious ceremony of the tribes in the Mosang mainland.

This kind of wonders were created by the shamans of the primitive tribes in the wilderness of the Mozambique continent. In terms of function, they are very similar to wizard wonders, but they are much simpler to make. Power.

It's just that this kind of strange object has very big flaws. First, the material needed is very strict and single, that is, bone, a kind of bone that only a shaman can know whether it is suitable for use. The second is the runes. Even the book does not record what kind of runes they are, because this is the secret of the shaman inheritance. Finally, there is the use of the bone talisman. It is not reusable like a wizard's strange item. Usually, it can only be used once. It is like a potion. It can be used multiple times with slight differences, but it will not exceed five times at most.

Leo has a lot of bones on hand, except for a few used to refine potions, the rest of the bones are temporarily useless, so when he sorted out his knowledge, he thought of something like bone charms and thought it would be okay to try, even if it didn't work out. , can also increase experience.

Although Leo didn't know shaman runes, he knew a lot of wizard runes and magic circles from the dream world. He wanted to see what effect wizard runes and magic circles had on them.

In fact, the difficulty of making bone charms far exceeded his expectations. During the days of drifting at sea, he had tried more than 500 times in total, and exhausted all the bones of all the family members and monsters obtained from the Dibia Mountains. In the end, only five bone charms were produced, including two riot bone charms, two flame bone charms and one impact bone charm.

Originally there was still an impact bone talisman, but he used it to see the effect, and he was very satisfied with the effect he saw.

The runes used to make bone charms are derived from the witchcraft air hammer. The air hammer can only break doors and destroy walls at most, but when he uses psionic energy to draw out the power of impacting bone charms and throws it into the sea , the sea surface sank into a 20-meter-diameter pit, and caused a small tsunami, which frightened the people on board.

Judging from this experiment, the final power of the air hammer made into a bone charm is five or six times stronger than that of direct casting, or even more.

Because of this, he didn't dare to try other bone charms, especially the riot bone charms, otherwise he might have to face a whole boatload of lunatics in the event of an unforeseen accident. No matter whether he solved these lunatics in the end, he would The result of drifting at sea.

The cargo ship sailed at sea for eleven days without stopping at any port. The cargo on board seemed to be very important. There were as many as fifteen armed personnel guarding the cargo hold every day.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Leo to board this ship, but the Gude family has a business relationship with the owner of this ship, so it is not difficult to arrange for a person to board the ship. However, in the first few days when Leo first boarded the ship, the people on board were still nervous for a long time. Almost every day, three people stared at the first-class cabin where Leo was.

Although the Good family is a very close partner, this shipment is extremely important to the ship owner, so they have to be careful.

However, when they discovered that Leo had been staying in the first-class cabin, doing some weird experiments that they could not understand, they relaxed their vigilance towards Leo a lot, and finally arrived at Venaya Port a few days ago. , have removed the person in charge of monitoring.

However, the people on board did not know that on the first day Leo boarded the ship, he knew what the cargo was under the cabin, because the owner's strict protection aroused his curiosity, so that night, he made the potion Tired with the Bone Talisman, he sneaked into the bottom of the boat and took it as a relaxing exercise.

Hundreds of wooden boxes of different sizes filled the entire cargo hold, and each box was filled with various mechanical parts, among which the largest boxes were steam engines.

Leo himself has read a lot of books on machinery manufacturing in the dream world, not only has a certain understanding of small mechanical parts, even the very primitive large machinery in his opinion is also considered familiar.

The special shape of some mechanical parts in these wooden boxes and the size of the steam engine and other details, Leo speculated that the combination of the parts in these wooden boxes should be the fuselage part of a small airship.

Leo, who made the inference, also understood why the people on board were so nervous.

Although all countries in the world are developing airship technology, the most mature airship technology is in the Lanxi factory in the United Kingdom. The airship driven by Louis X, which has attracted worldwide attention, was produced in Lanxi and designed by Rupert Fitz himself. and make.

After the establishment of the United Kingdom, Lanxi no longer manufactured airships, and classified the airship technology as a state secret and strictly protected it. Now this ship is actually used to transport airship parts, and it also involves a steam engine. If the United Kingdom finds out about this, not only will the people on board be unlucky, but even the ship owner may not be able to escape prison.

However, Leo was not in the mood to meddle, nor did he explore who bought the goods, and quickly put the matter behind him.
