The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Because the team didn't move fast, they didn't reach the next town before dark. The caravan leader who was familiar with this area quickly found an elf ruin suitable for setting up a camp.

When they arrived at the Elf ruins, it was already dark, and most of the convoy stayed in the ruins to set up a camp. Several servants of the knight team said to go outside to hunt some prey, and Leo and Silvia also took the initiative to stand Come out and join the ranks of the hunt.

After chatting during the day, other people in the team already knew that Leo and Silvia were knights from foreign countries, but they didn't think they were knights, because they didn't wear knight armor, knight swords, etc. Standard equipment, and there is a woman among them, which is too different from the knights people know, so even if no one in the team accuses them of being liars, no one recognizes their status as knights.

However, those wandering knights did not deny Leo and Sylvia's self-proclaimed knight status because of this. Some countries do have female knights, and they have also met many nobles. It can be seen that Leo and Sylvia's conversation and clothes are definitely not ordinary people. This also made them skeptical about Leo's words.

Now Leo and Sylvia offered to go hunting, which made the old knight a little suspicious, because he had encountered bandits disguised as wandering knights before, and then cooperated with outsiders to attack knight patrols at night, so he secretly Instruct the attendants who are also going out to hunt, let them secretly observe the two's every move, so as to judge whether Leo and Silvia are hidden dangers.

Although the voice of the old knight's instructions was very low, both Leo and Sylvia could easily hear his voice. Only I can reassure the Wandering Knight, otherwise, no matter how I explain the Wandering Knight, it is impossible for the Wandering Knight to be at ease about the origin of the two.

Leaving the ruins of the elves, they came to a forest. Several servants began to set traps, took out their bows and arrows, and looked for prey, but they saw Leo and Sylvia standing there empty-handed without any movement. One of the servants He couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Leo, Miss Sylvia, don't you Fran people need tools for hunting? Or do you Fran people have special abilities like warlocks, which can make prey run into your arms?" Come here?"

Leo ignored the ridicule of these people, turned his head to look at Sylvia, and said, "You come, or should I come?"

"Let me come!" Sylvia said, took out the hand crossbow, and shot two arrows at a dark place in the woods very casually, and then put the hand crossbow back under everyone's puzzled eyes. hung on the waist.

Leo walked towards the dark woods, and after a while, he saw him walking out with four fat rabbits. The two arrows shot by Sylvia just now pierced two The head of a rabbit.

Seeing this scene, all the knight servants couldn't help swallowing dryly, feeling a little chill in their necks, and looked at Sylvia with a hint of awe in their eyes.

"Everyone, please continue." After Sylvia took the rabbit from Leo's hands, she turned her head and said to the knight attendants, and then walked to the camp with Leo.

Not long after Leo and Sylvia left, they came back with four prey, which naturally surprised the people in the camp, but unlike ordinary people who were all focused on the prey, those wandering knights paid more attention to the prey. He noticed the wounds on the prey, all of which were pierced by two rabbits with one arrow, which means that the person who made the shot was definitely not a coincidence, and had done it with absolute strength.

"A man?" a wandering knight whispered.

"No, it's a woman." The wandering knight with good eyesight on the other side gestured to the crossbow hanging on Sylvia's waist.

"They even use bows and crossbows. Such people call themselves knights. I think they are liars!" A wandering knight who had just joined the Knights said disdainfully.

When the other wandering knights heard the words, they didn't agree or refute. Only one wandering knight patted the man on the shoulder, and went to do his own thing, making the man look puzzled.

The old knight Capello, who is the leader of this team of knights, did not explain anything to the newcomer. Some ways of thinking can only be transformed through personal experience. Otherwise, no matter how much others say, it will be useless, because this is his personal experience. .

As newcomers who have just become wandering knights and haven't really experienced the cruelty of the world, they still have the honor and rules of knights in their minds, such as knights must face the enemy directly, and knights cannot use bows and crossbows. Only those wandering knights who have lived for many years know that survival is the most important thing. As long as they can survive, they can fight in that way. When necessary, knights will even use pitchforks, which seem to be crude, but are actually powerful magic weapons.

It's not that there are no knights who will always abide by the knight's law and behave according to the knight's code of conduct. Such people either die on the way forward, or they have become role models of knights and stand on top of everyone's heads.

Leo and Silvia didn't pay attention to the knights' concerns. They would hand over four rabbits to the chef of the caravan for disposal, two of them as a reward for processing, and the other two for their own consumption.

After solving the food problem, Leo found a relatively flat space in the ruins, swept away the dust from it, found some hay, and spread it on the ground.

At this time, Sylvia seemed to be attracted by the reliefs on the ruins that originated from the kingdom of elves.

After dealing with the resting camp, Leo walked to Sylvia's side, and also stared at the exquisite patterns on it.

"Have you heard of elves?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice.

In the world of Velen, there are folk tales of spirits and goblins, but there are no such species as elves.

In the past two days, when Sylvia was practicing the language, the question she asked the most was what kind of race the elves were.

However, the answers given by the locals were all different. Most of them used hostile names such as pointed ears to replace the name of elves, so all the information she got in the end was that this was once the kingdom of elves. The kingdom was destroyed by Toussaint, and even the elves were killed. People in Toussaint hate elves, and there is no information about elves in Toussaint.

Although from the words of the locals, elves have almost become synonymous with inferiority, but Sylvia can see from the architectural form of the elves' ruins and the exquisite decorations on the ruined walls that elves have a very unique understanding of beauty, and will definitely not It is as unbearable as the local population.

"This pattern imitates the trend of vines, it's just a decorative pattern, but..." Leo looked at the pattern on the ruined wall, analyzed the content inside, followed the trend of the pattern with his fingers to the end, and the end was not It's not a flower, but a symbol, saying: "This symbol is a bit like a rune in the town of the lake. If it is not damaged, there should be some extraordinary power here."

"Being able to apply extraordinary power to buildings, it seems that the elf kingdom here should have a very high extraordinary civilization, and there should be many extraordinary people among these elves." Sylvia said doubtfully: "But why were they defeated by the people of Toussaint, or even the slaughtered ones? It seems that there are not many people in Toussaint with extraordinary power, do they only rely on these knights? Even if there are more than a hundred such knights, just rely on them You and I can easily get rid of them."

Leo froze for a moment when he heard Sylvia's words, turned to look at her, and asked, "Is there no influence on you?"

"Influence? What influence?" Sylvia looked at Leo in puzzlement.

Leo asked again: "Is it because the strength of the body is restricted?"

"No?" Sylvia answered immediately, but maybe she felt that the answer was too hasty, and after examining her body carefully, she shook her head affirmatively and said, "No, there is no restriction. Your strength is limited?"

"Part of it is restricted." Leo simply replied.

He realized that he had misunderstood something, because he had entered other worlds more than once in the past, and he was used to the fact that the power in his body would be more or less restricted when entering other worlds. For example, now in his body, the power belonging to the seal of the gods of the world of Velen can no longer be used. Including the power of the Eye of Reality, apart from psionic power, the only powers that can be used are the power of nightmare and the power of several foreign gods.

Under the influence of inertial thinking, Leo also thought that Sylvia's power was also limited, and Sylvia didn't say that she was afraid of worrying about herself, but he didn't expect him to completely misunderstand, Sylvia's power was not limited at all , Naturally, there is nothing to say or not to say.

This also made Leo a little inexplicably embarrassed. It seemed to be similar to the self-indulgence mentioned in the book. In order to alleviate this embarrassing emotion, Leo changed the topic and said: "Want to explore?"

"Exploration?" Sylvia saw that Leo was embarrassed, but she didn't know why he was embarrassed. Now that he changed the subject, she asked casually, "Did you find some secret room in the elf kingdom? of?"

"There is a secret room." Leo nodded.

"Isn't it? There really is a secret room." Sylvia immediately became interested and asked, "What's in the secret room? Treasure?"

Leo explained: "I don't know, there is some power in the secret room, and I can't perceive the situation inside."

"Let's go and have a look!" Sylvia immediately became excited.

Under Sylvia's urging, Leo asked the caravan for two torches. Although the recorder in his hand could create light, it would be hard to explain if someone saw it.

After getting the torch, the two turned around and walked out of the open space where the camp was located, and walked around the edge of the ruins to the other side, a place like a courtyard, where there were not only some broken stone benches, but also There are many broken statues covered by a large number of vines, which makes people feel an inexplicable bleakness.

The actions of Leo and Sylvia were not hidden, and they were naturally seen by the wandering knights, who also guessed what they were going to do, but the knights didn't send anyone to follow them, to see if they could find anything Treasures such as the legacy of the Elven Kingdom, because they felt that the two of them were doing useless work.

In the past few years, not only the officials of the Principality of Toussaint have repeatedly searched and found all valuable items that can be found, even the statues have been removed, and even some treasure hunters, robbers and poor knights They have repeatedly searched these elf ruins and took away the last bit of fish that slipped through the net.

Like the current elf ruins, it happens to be right next to the main road of the Principality, and a bandit group once stationed here. How could there be valuable things in such a place.

Therefore, all the wandering knights, including the old knight Capello, thought that Leo and Sylvia were two foreigners who were curious about the elven ruins. When they saw the elven ruins, they thought of the stories in the bard population. Thinking that they are the protagonists in the story, in fact they can only find a pile of dust, which also makes them wait to see the joke when the two foreigners come back in disgrace.

In the small garden of the ruins, Leo's spiritual network penetrated into the surrounding underground, carefully perceived the underground situation, and said: "These elves not only have mastered extraordinary power, but also know how to make some exquisite machinery."

As he was talking, he walked to one of the broken statues, squatted down, found a relief on the base, put his fingers into the eye sockets of the monster relief, and pulled it out slightly, pulling the relief out. Then rotate it twice and press it back into the previous groove.

Then there was a very weak shaking sound from the ground, and two abnormal noises came from the pool in the middle of the garden, and the accumulated water in the pool dropped rapidly, and the bottom was soon seen.

When the water was all running out, a complete big rock in the middle began to sink slowly, revealing a pothole and a downward ladder.

Because the ladder is made of wood, it has been completely decayed after these years. Leo signaled himself to go down to explore the way first, then jumped directly from the opening, and quickly fell to the ground. Fayin lit the torch and shone around.

At the same time as the bright light appeared below, Sylvia above also saw the situation in the secret room clearly. Before Leo could speak, she jumped down from above and landed firmly beside Leo.

"Even after so many years, this place is still full of powerful energy." Leo looked at the surrounding scene, and while admiring, he tried to use the spirit net to detect the surroundings. As a result, he found that there was a lot of energy around him that was interfering with the mental network, so he no longer forcibly used the spiritual network, but handed over the task of exploration to the perception abilities of various parts of the body.
