The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Money matters are easy to handle, but the problem is that Leo doesn't know why he came here.

Originally, according to the description of St. Francis, after they entered the dense fog, even if they would see some hallucinations and encounter some strange things, such things as space travel would never happen. They should reach the town outside the wizard tower That's right, and that's where the power generated by Ye Shen's Sigh book is concentrated.

But the current situation is completely different. Whether it is the encounter in Robe Town or the situation on the road to the mountainside of Robe Mountain, it shows that with the changes in the world, the power of Ye Shen's sigh on Mount Robe has also changed, and Did he come to Jive Elle's world by chance, or was there another reason, how to leave here, return to the world of Velen, etc. need to find answers slowly.

At least now Leo feels that it is not necessarily accidental that he came to Javier's world, because before he entered this world, when he was walking in that forest, he could feel some abnormal movement of the tattoo on his back, and the side of the nightmare The force also seemed to fluctuate a little. At that time, he just thought that he had sensed the power of Ye Shen's sigh from the page, and it resonated, but now it seems that it may not be as simple as he thought.

Leo also told Sylvia about the current problem, but Sylvia was obviously more optimistic than him, thinking that if it was really not a coincidence, then sooner or later they would be able to get clues, so they don't need to pay too much attention to it. Live as you live.

Seeing that Sylvia seemed to regard the present as a trip to a foreign country, Leo didn't know what to say, so he could only let it go.

After that, Sylvia asked Leo to teach him the language of the Taussaint people. Obviously, she saw Leo talking with people, but she couldn't understand a word, and felt a little uncomfortable.

In this regard, Leo also agreed. Sylvia can master the language here, which saves him the energy of explaining again, and after mastering the language, Sylvia may also be able to discover the details he overlooked.

In this way, the two who were originally planning to leave the next day decided to postpone it for a few days, so that Sylvia could get familiar with the language here, and at the same time, they could wait for a group of wandering knights who passed by here. Patrol the border in this area and take charge of clearing out the bandits and monsters here.

Sylvia is extremely talented in languages, and the language here has some similarities with French and English, so she quickly mastered some conversational terms. In order to exercise her language ability, the two Leo gave her all the daily communication with the outside world. Although there were a lot of jokes in the middle, it was of great help to Sylvia's language learning.

At the same time, Leo also bought some books from the owner of the tavern and a merchant who lived in the town. Although Leo could speak a certain language in the old earth era, it was the product of instilling knowledge. Little is known about the characters of this language. It is only known that when the Federal Language was created, this language was not conducive to communication with alien civilizations and was abandoned.

Although it was difficult to read these words at first, Leo has rich experience in language learning and research, and he quickly found the pattern. After two days, he has been able to recognize most of the words except for a few rare words. Reading ordinary books is not a problem.

During these two days, Leo and the others also inquired a lot about this world from the people in the small town. They found that although this world has all kinds of extraordinary powers and weird creatures like the Velen world, these things are all different. It is something that everyone knows, it is not hidden like the world of Velen, and ordinary people are completely out of reach.

For example, there are several special non-human creatures in this world, such as dwarves, elves, dryads, etc. There are also gods in this world, and gods also have churches. There are also a large number of monsters in this world, such as evil spirits, trolls, demons, Cyclops and so on, none of these monsters hide their whereabouts, and ordinary people know that these monsters exist in this world.

There are also many people with extraordinary powers in this world, such as a kind of powerful extraordinary being called warlocks. Some of these warlocks will serve as advisors to the king who holds great power in the national courts of this world, and some will also work with Velen Hidden like the wizards of the world, he devoted himself to researching the mysteries of the world's power.

Coincidentally, there is such a sorceress in the court of the Principality of Toussaint. This sorceress is named Fringilla Vigo, and she is an extremely powerful master of illusion. Her illusion is almost the same as the real one. Even produce real destructive power.

After getting this news, both Leo and Sylvia felt that they should go to see the sorceress, because the final effect of the sorceress' hallucinations was somewhat similar to the effect of night god's lamenting pages, although the two were not the same. It may not be possible to draw an equal sign, but perhaps some useful clues can be obtained from this female sorceress.

There is another thing that caught the attention of Leo and Sylvia. When they asked about the wandering knight, they knew that the wandering knight needed to make an oath before joining Toussaint. This oath involved a knight named The knight code of the five virtues, and the knight code of the five virtues of the knight was created and taught to the knight by the fairy of the lake.

After hearing this incident at the time, both Leo and Sylvia thought of the lady of the lake in the world of Velen, because the two are too similar. The lady of the lake is also the guardian of the knight, and so is the fairy of the lake. The lady in the lake is the creator of the knight's law, and the fairy in the lake created the knight's five virtues. No matter how you look at it, the two should be the same existence, so the fairy in the lake is on the list of clues they made The topmost name.

On the third day when Leo and Sylvia temporarily lived in the town, a group of knights in gorgeous armor came to the town. Behind this group of knights, followed a large group of entourage, including the knight's attendants and The vassals, there are also traveling merchants who hope to be protected by the knights and do business in various parts of Toussaint, but more of them are ordinary people who need to go to other towns, but are worried about the dangers on the road.

The Duchy of Toussaint is a very peculiar country. Although this country has a large number of knights, it has no real military power. The security of the entire principality was handed over to a knight group composed of several wandering knights. These wandering knights are not regular soldiers of the principality, they are just hirelings. The principality will pay a fairly good salary and hire these knights to patrol the border and the main business roads. Regularly eliminate bandits and monsters, and protect the normal passage of caravans and people in Toussaint.

The only quasi-armed army in the Principality of Toussaint is the Duke's Guard in the capital Bauclairn, but this guard can only be regarded as the Duchess's private army, not the army of the Principality.

Think about it, the reason why the Principality of Toussaint has such a weird military system should be related to its overlord, the Nilfgaard Empire.

In a book he bought, Leo had read some things about the Nilfgaardian Empire, and knew that this empire was extremely powerful, and it was very similar to the French Empire that unified the Velen continent in the early days, and what the Duchy of Toussaint did It is also similar to the Hanossa Alliance in the Velen Continent. Facing the powerful French Empire, they all took the initiative to disarm their own armed forces and bowed their heads.

The treatment received after bowing their heads is also very similar. The Principality of Toussaint has also obtained considerable autonomy. The treatment is also similar. This may be the common way for weak countries to deal with strong countries.

Among these knights, a gorgeous knight in golden armor with a red feather stuck in his helmet walked into the tavern, took off his helmet, revealing a face that was about to enter old age, and looked at the tavern owner very naturally. He said hello, then took a glass of wine prepared by the tavern owner and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said: "Old Bob, fill up the food and water quickly, we Immediately leave for the next town."

"Lord Capello, don't you want to rest here for the night?" the tavern owner asked.

The old knight said seriously: "No! The knight meeting is about to start, I have to rush back as soon as possible to prepare for the meeting, and I can't delay on the way."

"Do you still want to participate in the knight meeting?" the tavern owner asked.

"What? Can I not participate? Or do you think I am too old to participate in the knight meeting?" The old knight immediately widened his eyes when he heard the question from the tavern owner, and shouted: "Don't say I am not old enough to mention it now. I can't afford a sword, even if I am too old to lift a sword, I can still ride a horse, and leave those little guys far behind in the horse riding competition."

Knowing that he had said something wrong, the hotel owner hurriedly apologized, and loudly ordered the old knight to prepare the things he wanted.

"Shall we go up and say hello now?" Leo asked Sylvia when he saw that the old knight was sitting alone in the tavern.

"No need." Sylvia shook her head and said, "We don't need to take the initiative to contact these wandering knights now, and contacting them rashly will only make people suspicious. We can follow the team on the road and find opportunities to meet them on the road. Get in touch."

Leo agreed to Sylvia's proposal, and then the two prepared some dry food and other items needed on the road. Originally, Sylvia wanted to buy two local knight swords for camouflage, but the town they were in Although there are blacksmiths, they can only make some farm tools. The blacksmiths who make knight swords can only be found in big towns and Bauclair.

Soon the team of four knights, six attendants and a dozen vassal knights had already replenished their supplies, and without saying hello to the caravans and ordinary people who followed them, they directly stepped on the horses and continued on. hit the road.

Seeing that the knights had already set off, the caravans and ordinary people hurriedly packed their luggage and followed.

Compared with the team when they entered the small town, the team leaving has become a lot bloated. In addition to some local farmers who are going to buy things in big towns, the caravan also bought some brewed wine from the small town, so that Two more wagons loaded with barrels were added.

Leo and Sylvia originally wanted to buy two horses, but there were no spare horses for sale in the town, so they could only discuss with the caravan leader and boarded the caravan's wine carriage.

The whole team did not walk fast, and the road was still smooth. After walking through a trail built by the owner of the vineyard, it was the main road of the principality. Because this main road was connected with vineyards all over the principality, wine was transported here and there. There are also many horse-drawn carriages. The Principality has specially repaired this road so that the horse-drawn carriages can pass more smoothly. People walking on this road are more like going on an outing.

"Fran? Is there such a country?" The driver driving on the road saw that the costumes of Leo and Sylvia were different from any costumes he had seen, and asked curiously about their origins like ordinary people. Leo spoke out what he had discussed with Sylvia, saying that they were the knights of Fran, and they had heard of the reputation of the Toussaint Knights Tournament, so they traveled all the way here to participate in the Knights Tournament.

"Yes, it's on the east side, crossing the Faerui Mountains, and going east." Leo said an unverifiable address.

Although this address cannot be verified, the coachman chooses to believe it, because the costumes of Leo and Sylvia are far different from those of Toussaint, and also of the northern countries. Apart from the visitor's explanation, there is no other suitable explanation.

Afterwards, the coachman asked a few more things about the country of Fran, and Leo answered very naturally, and then he didn't ask any more questions, and found an excuse to go to the front and change the driver of a carriage.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and exchanged views. Undoubtedly, this coachman must have an official background, but I don't know whether it is the official of Toussaint or other officials. Otherwise, it is impossible for a curious coachman to ask those questions. Yes, the two of them had already expected this, and they were not too surprised. The only thing that surprised them was that they met so early.

However, if you think about it carefully, it should be a coincidence that the official represented by the coachman is probably just to monitor these wandering knights. When they saw these two foreigners in strange clothes appear, they just made a routine inquiry.

"Maybe we can get a knight's certificate." Leo said to Sylvia in French.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. Judging from all the indications, the status of a knight can be regarded as a noble here, even if it is a wandering knight. This kind of special status cannot be easily promulgated by any country. To a stranger. If you want to obtain the status of a knight, you can only solve it through meritorious deeds."

Leo asked: "You asked me to inquire about the bandits in Toussaint, do you want to use them as a springboard?"

"They're just one of them, and it's not enough just to suppress the bandits, otherwise these wandering knights would have already become official knights of Toussaint." Sylvia shook her head, then fell silent for a while, and asked, "You Do you know how to make wine?"
