The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When he first heard the thirteen volumes of madman's knowledge of ancient gods, Leo just regarded them as spiritual items that could affect the minds of intelligent creatures.

Because there are many such spiritual items in the Earth Federation, and they are still widely used by ordinary soldiers in wars, so he thinks that the madman's thirteen volumes of knowledge of ancient gods are also such items, the only difference is that they are much more powerful.

However, as he came into contact with items related to the thirteen volumes of knowledge of the ancient gods of the madman, including the copy written by others after reading one of the volumes of knowledge of the ancient gods, he gradually discovered that the power of this mysterious forbidden book far surpassed his own. imagination.

Think about it, Leo is now using it frequently, and he also thinks that the nightmare power that helped him the most is the Book of Night that was written by someone who was influenced by the knowledge of the ancient god after reading the Sigh of the Night God.

Just one affected copy gave him such a powerful power, so by analogy, how powerful the night god's sigh will be, and how powerful and strange the other ancient gods' knowledge will be?

Now from the mouth of the crow, Leo already knew that the tower once had a volume of knowledge of the ancient gods, and this volume of knowledge of the ancient gods still recorded things about the place where everything ends. Since he was a little surprised, he took it for granted.

I take it for granted because in its view, the tower is the core of all mysterious things in this world. Even a person like him who has just entered this mysterious world has already been exposed to the things of the end of the land. Obviously, the wizard of the tower should also understand That place knows something.

What surprised him was that the tower's understanding of the place where everything ends came from an ancient god's knowledge, and it was the most mysterious book of ashes.

From old man Rembrandt, Leo had also seen some materials about the thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge. Most of these materials were unproven hearsay, and some people got a volume of ancient god knowledge and went crazy. , a book of ancient god knowledge is sealed underground in the temple of a certain church, and so on.

However, almost all thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge were mentioned in these hearsay news, but only the Book of Ashes was not mentioned, as if this book did not exist at all.

It now appears that the Book of Ashes may have fallen into the hands of the High Tower a long time ago, and the wizards of the High Tower have conducted very detailed and rigorous research on the Book of Ashes, from the content to the power contained in it, it is even possible Through the power of this book has passed directly from the world of Velen into the place where it all ends.

It's just that going into the Land of All Ends doesn't seem to end well, otherwise the crow wouldn't be surprised that he was able to get out of there and back to Velen.

At this time, Leo suddenly thought of a possibility about the disappearance of the tower, so he asked abruptly: "Master Crow, is the disappearance of the tower related to the Book of Ashes?"

After hearing Leo's question, the crow didn't change the subject, but directly gave an unexpected answer, saying: "I don't know, because when I returned to the tower, the tower was already in ruins." I did." But then it paused, and said, "But before I leave the tower, those guys are doing a very important experiment with the Book of Ashes, saying that if this experiment is successful, the world will be changed .”

"Will the world change for this?" Leo was stunned after hearing this, his face showing a contemplative look, and then he suddenly had a bold guess, and asked tentatively: "The world that the tower wizard said To change it, shouldn’t it mean that the gods disappear?”

"It's possible." The crow deliberately replied in an ambiguous manner, and responded perfunctorily.

Leo had no way of judging whether the crow's words were true, but he could feel that the crow was unwilling to mention this matter, and was trying to make him pay attention to it.

Although he didn't understand why the crow would do this, he felt that it was better not to follow the crow's idea, so he didn't continue this topic, and instead asked: "Master Crow, are you here not just Simply want to meet me before I leave?"

"Of course not. I'm very busy, so I don't have time to do boring things." Seeing that Leo didn't continue to ask about the tower, the crow's eyes flashed a hint of disappointment, but it didn't let the The topic was changed back, but as if such a topic had never been mentioned at all, following Leo's words, he said: "I came to you to ask you to do me a favor?"

"Help?" Leo was stunned. In his opinion, even if he is already a fifth-level psychic, he is still far behind in front of the crow. How could such a powerful psychic creature have any troubles? I can't figure it out and ask him for help.

The crow seemed to see Leo's doubts, so he explained: "I can't get out of here in a short time, and it will be good for you if you help me."

"What's the benefit?" Leo asked with interest.

"A relic of a high tower," said the crow.

Leo was silent for a while, and asked suspiciously: "How many towers are there in this world?"

The crow replied: "There is only one high tower, but there are many high tower ruins. For example, the Miria city you stayed in before had a high tower, and Miria city was even built on the high tower ruins." superior."

Leo wanted to get as much information as possible from the crow's mouth, so he asked, "Is the tower in Miria City to seal the Eye of Truth?"

"Of course not. How can a fool as arrogant as the Eye of Reality be qualified to ask the tower to build a tower specially for it." The crow glanced at Leo with disdain, and then said vaguely: "The tower was built in the swamp. It is for an even older existence."

"An older existence?" Leo muttered, suddenly thinking of the situation in the quarry, and said, "Is it the one from the quarry?"

"You know?" The crow looked at Leo in surprise, proving Leo's guess in disguise.

Leo nodded, then did not hide anything, and told the crow what he saw in the quarry.

"These guys really don't know how to live or die." The crow cursed, then suddenly seemed to think of something, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he muttered to himself: "So it is so, so it is so, no wonder The French Empire will behave so strangely." Then, a look of schadenfreude appeared in its eyes, and it said with a smile: "But this is also good, just to distract these guys' energy, so that their attention is not always Put it on Vinaya Harbour."

"It seems that I have provided you with a very useful information." Leo smiled and teased: "Shouldn't you thank me?"

Leo's words were just random words without any other meaning, and he didn't really want the crow to thank him. He was just paving the way for what he would ask later.

However, to Leo's surprise, the crow said very formally: "Yes, you did provide me with a very useful piece of information. Based on the principle of equivalent exchange for wizards, I should also give you a corresponding return."

Leo shook his head and said, "I don't need anything in return, I just want to ask a question."

"Ask! As long as it is an equivalent question, I will answer it." The crow's attitude is somewhat formal now.

"The imprisoned Eye of Truth..." Leo asked.

The crow interrupted Leo's inquiry, and said in a deep voice: "If it's this question, you don't need to ask, because the matter I asked you for help is also related to it." Then, he tilted his head and looked at Leo again, Said: "You better change the question!"

"I have no other questions to ask." Leo shook his head.

The crow said: "Your strength should have reached the bottleneck, don't you want to know what to do..."

Leo calmly refused, "No need!"

"It's really..." The crow felt a little regretful, but seemed to realize something. With a look of surprise in his eyes, he looked up and down at Leo, and then asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why did you cross the bridge in one night?" How did you do it..."

Leo said very sincerely: "Thank you very much. If you hadn't shown power in the room yesterday, I'm afraid it will take me a long time to complete this life evolution."

"Life evolution? This word is very appropriate." The crow muttered, then looked at Leo with a strange look, and said: "Since you have completed the transformation, I don't need to talk nonsense anymore, just send another Something that is very useful to you now, let it be your compensation for providing information!"

While talking, I saw the crow raised its head, opened its beak, and retracted its neck back and forth, as if it was about to spit out something.

Soon after coughing, a ring was spit out from the crow's throat and fell on the table.

"Damn it, it's really uncomfortable. If I knew it, I wouldn't have swallowed those things in my stomach." The crow grumbled, then pointed to the ring on the table, and said, "You shouldn't be able to control yourself very well now." power, this ring can help you."

Leo picked up the ring, put it in his hand and looked at it, and saw that the ring looked like it was made of metal, but his mental network felt that the ring was a piece of ice, the surface of the ring was very smooth, there was no Any pattern or text, the style of the ring is also very simple, it is a general round ring. Judging from the appearance alone, such a ring is really ordinary, even if it is thrown on the street, no one would bend down to pick it up.

With doubts in his heart, Leo will try to put the ring on the index finger of the same size, and then when the smaller ring encounters resistance, it will automatically enlarge a little, which is exactly the same thickness as the index finger.

When Leo put on the ring, he immediately felt a cool feeling transmitted from the ring to his whole body, permeating his spirit, his soul, making him feel sober like never before. At the same time, he also found that this The power brought by the cool feeling also restrained most of the uncontrollable power in his body.

Leo tried to take off the ring again, the cool feeling disappeared immediately, and the uncontrollable power returned.

After putting the ring back on, Leo moved his hands and feet, and felt that although the uncontrollable power still existed, it was put on a rein, so that he could barely control it, and would not cause some damage due to loss of control. The most intuitive performance is that he can pick up the cup again without damaging it.

The crow explained on the side: "This is a restriction ring made by the wizard of the tower, which can restrict some out-of-control forces in the body."

Leo nodded, and asked tentatively: "This kind of ring shouldn't be made specifically for my current situation, right?"

"Of course not." The crow shook his head and said, "Wizards conduct some dangerous experiments every day, and most of the results of the experiments will cause the power in their bodies to lose control. This ring is specially designed to deal with this situation, and your current situation is just The result of an accidental discovery."

Leo nodded without being polite, and said, "It's a good thing, I'll accept it."

"Okay! Now it's time to talk about the things I need your help with." The crow returned to the subject and said, "The Eye of Reality was taken away by the Medical Association."

Although the crow's answer was the same as Leo's previous guess, he still had doubts and said: "The Eye of Reality is so big, and a forbidden stone ball is added. It is so heavy that it is the biggest steam now. The train can't move, how can the medical association..."

"It's not heavy at all." The crow interrupted and answered, before Leo asked, he took the initiative to explain: "Although the thing looks very big and heavy, it is actually very light, and as long as you find the right method, the whole ball will be blocked." The weight will not be much heavier than a feather. And the medical school somehow found the right way to transport the banning ball away with the airship, and by the time I found out, they had transported it to England kingdom."

Leo asked again with some puzzlement: "With your strength, even if it is transported to the Kingdom of England, you should be able to take it back. Why do you entrust me?"

"The Kingdom of England is a restricted area, and I cannot appear there." The crow seemed unwilling to mention the Kingdom of England too much, and then continued: "Anyway, all you need to know is that I cannot go to the Kingdom of England. Ask me why I don’t find someone from the Holy Blood Society? The composition of the Holy Blood Society is mixed, there are everyone, maybe there are spies from the Medical Society, so I have no intention of handing this matter over to the Holy Blood Society handle."

Leo was silent for a while, and asked again: "If I don't show up, who are you going to hand over this matter to?"

"Lawrence," replied the crow.

"Blood wizard?"

Crow nodded and said: "Yes, he is actually a more suitable candidate than you. After all, he is from a medical school and understands the way those people in the Medical Association do things. And now he still has some people in the Medical Association, so he came to investigate There should be results soon."

"Why didn't you choose him?"

The crow said with some dissatisfaction: "He has his own business on hand now, and it may take several years before he finishes his work, and everything will be over by then."

Leo thought for a while, and continued to ask: "Then what do you want me to check?"
