The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"They agreed?" Looking at Sylvia who had just come down from the management city, Sylvia asked for Leo.

"Yes, they agreed." Alice nodded and said, "However, their requirement is that they must have their technicians by their side. In addition, the knowledge you mentioned earlier such as the activation method of those array defense towers , The method of starting the thing above the abyss entrance, etc. should be taught to them."

Leo had no opinion on this and was about to agree, but was blocked by Sylvia and said: "This is too unfair to us. Leo wants to get in touch with that core intelligence, mainly to let Lanxi City The mech sergeant has been restored and the combat effectiveness has been improved. That is to say, Lanxi City is a vested interest. Now the requests made by Lanxi City are also for the benefit of Lanxi City, not to mention we also help you find the high abyss. The benefits of race possessors all make Lanxi City go, then what about us? We seem to get nothing and do things for Lanxi City in vain."

Alice was silent for a moment and said, "So what do you want?"

Sylvia looked at Leo and seemed to be consulting him. Then he thought for a moment and said, "I believe that since Lanxi City has lived in the Black Forest for so long, it has a relationship with the surrounding spiritual realms. So close, there must be a lot of good things on hand."

Alice quickly responded: "This is impossible, Lanxi City is impossible to pay any benefits."

Sylvia frowned and said, "Are you so sure? You don't need to consult the opinions of those above?"

"No, I know the thoughts of those guys too much!" Alice said very positively: "Contacting the city's smart core has already reached their bottom line. They think that letting you touch the smart core is the biggest reward, and then propose other Conditions, they are impossible to agree, and even if you agree, it will take a long time to discuss, I don’t think you are willing to spend so long waiting for an uncertain response.

"It doesn't matter, we can afford it." While Sylvia was about to say something, Leo raised her hand to stop her, and then said calmly.

Hearing Leo's words, Alice frowned, her face showing embarrassment.

Sylvia puts forward extra conditions, Alice does not take it seriously, because she knows that the person who wants to reach the core of the city’s intelligence is not Sylvia, but Leo, the fact that those city defenders who have been lost use The method also comes from Leo, so as long as Leo does not speak, then she and Sylvia can talk about anything.

When Leo spoke at the time, there was obviously no room for reversal in this matter, and she had to consider accepting the proposed conditions.

"Although it is impossible for Lanxi City to accept any conditions, I can pay you for Lanxi City." Alice thought for a moment and said.

Leo Rao asked with interest: "What kind of remuneration do you intend to pay?"

Alice replied: "The remuneration I paid is very simple, there is only one message."

Although Alice said it very simply, Leo and Sylvia did not look down on the news in Alice's mouth, because since Alice was so sure, then the news must not be simple.

"The news is where my strength comes from." Alice saw Leo and Sylvia's expression of interest and continued.

Sylvia looked puzzled and said, "Don't your strength come from the victims?"

However, there was a look of understanding on Leo’s face, because he knew that Alice’s source of power was not her current source of power, but her previous source of power, which was the spirit she had mastered in the past. The origin of energy.

Alice can be said to be the first person Leo met with the pure spiritual power after he came to the world of Velon, and the second one was Sivini Belmont, but the spiritual energy in Sivini has already been produced. The mutation is no longer so pure.

Before, Leo had also thought about asking about the source of psionic powers that Alice had, but for various reasons, there was no formal inquiry, just a side-by-side inquiry, and Alice’s answer was also true and difficult to discern. After shelved it, now that Alice has taken the initiative to mention it, he is naturally happy.

As for the so-called remuneration, Leo himself did not care too much, because, as those in the upper layers of Lanxi City thought, he had already received the most generous rewards the moment he touched the intelligent core.

Leo gestured to Sylvia, then asked: "Are you going to say it now, or wait..."

"Speak now! There is no need to wait until you come back from above." Alice interrupted Leo's words, and then there was a little bit of nostalgia on her face, saying, "My power comes from a mystery in Mozambique. Inside the ruins, there is a stone in the ruins that tells me how to excite that power, enhance that power and use that power."

Upon hearing Alice's words, Leo couldn't help but frown, because what Alice said was too vague.

Perhaps after seeing the change in the look on Leo’s face, Alice continued to supplement the experience, that is, what happened when she was still young.

At that time, the entire Velen world was immersed in a colonial expedition. Various rumors about the mainland colony of Mosang spread all over the world. The most famous is the legend of the city of gold.

Although there are a lot of dangers in these legends, when everyone hears these legends, their attention is focused on the huge harvest of the explorers at the end of the legend.

For a time, those at the bottom of the country who were looking forward to a night of riches all took the boat to the Mosang mainland, or took advantage of the colony's enclave before the tide, circumnavigating a piece of land, establishing their own plantations, or entering no one else. In the developed wilderness, look for the legendary ancient ruins and the golden city.

At that time, Alice, like Sylvia now, was extremely adventurous, so after she completed the adult ceremony, she left Belmont Estate and went to Mosang mainland for an adventure.

After a few years in the Mosang mainland, she is also a little-known explorer, and she has also discovered some ancient ruins, but most of these ruins are the remains of some known Mosang tribal civilizations, which is not a pioneer. The big discovery of **** made her always regret.

Later, under the cooperation of a very rich and powerful local plantation owner, some explorers and scholars who were well-known on the Mosang continent at that time formed a joint expedition team, intending to go deeper into the wilderness and look for the remains of older tribes. .

The plantation owner did not think it was unexpected, but with a real purpose, and he did not know where he found a map made of animal skin, and a huge picture was drawn in the center of the map There is a word written in the original text of a very ancient tribe next to the city. This word is similar to the meaning of origin. Therefore, scholars at that time thought that the ancient city marked by this map was the origin of the tribe of Mosang mainland.

This incident caused a lot of sensation in the colonies of various countries at that time, so that when the expedition team started at that time, some colonial dignitaries also formed an independent expedition team to follow behind, intending to take a slice of the story.

Because at that time it was necessary to go deep into the wilderness, even if the various expeditions were fully prepared, they still suffered great casualties. When they finally arrived at the ancient ruins painted on the map, Alice’s expedition team already had three One out of them stayed in the jungle of the wasteland forever, while the other colonial expeditions only had one team to keep up, and the number of that team was reduced to single digits, so they had to join Alice. In the expedition team.

The surviving scholars in the expedition at that time carefully studied the various information on the ruins, just like the other tribe ruins on the wasteland. A large number of various stories circulated by the tribe were also carved on these ruins. By interpreting these The story expedition team knew that the ancestors of this tribe came from the starry sky. In order to escape something, they took a huge ship and fell into the wilderness. After that, they settled here and built their city on the ship they took.

Based on these stories carved on the wall, the expedition team judged that there was a ruin below the ruined city. The ruin probably contained the treasures left before the destruction of the entire ruined city. As for the so-called ship from the starry sky and the like Interpreting the content is considered by the expedition scholars as a story fabricated by the local tribe to show their identity.

Driven by huge interests, the expedition team began to explore the entire ruin city. Although it is a ruin of the primitive tribe, the area of ​​the ruin is still very large. The entire expedition team spent a month to explore the ruins. And it took another half a month to find the entrance to the lower ruins.

At that time, the expedition team formed two teams of people into the underground ruins to explore. Alice was assigned to the first team of men because of her rich exploration experience.

After their team went down, they quickly encountered some defensive institutions. Alice was separated by an accident and people, and entered a passage alone. Then she reached the end of the passage and entered a room. Then suddenly encountered an unknown attack and passed out.

When Alice woke up again, she was already deep in an empty room without any entrances and exits. There was only a round black boulder in the center of the room. It is interesting that this boulder was suspended in the air, with the bottom and the floor There is only one very small gap.

After that, the black boulder directly told Sylvia how to stimulate spiritual energy, and helped Sylvia to stimulate spiritual energy, and also trained Sylvia to use that kind of power. She didn’t feel any hunger or time at all. Until she fully grasped the power, she was inexplicably comatose. When she woke up again, she had returned to the ground and the ruins had collapsed. As if experiencing a very large earthquake, the rest of the expedition was also missing.

"Where is that relic?" Leo asked eagerly after listening to Alice's description.

Alice replied: "I don't know the exact place, but I can draw a map to go there."

After she finished, she found paper and pen in the room and began to draw a map on it. Judging from her smooth drawing process, she was obviously very impressed with the experience of the past, so that after so many years , The memory is very clear.

Soon two maps were drawn under her pen, one of the two maps was the original map of the hide, and the other was a map drawn by the popular mapping method of the Vellon world. In terms of accuracy, It is definitely more accurate than the hide map, and it can be compared with the current map of the world of Velon, the error is also very small.

After receiving the map, Leo’s sight fell directly on the accurate map, and Sylvia also looked at it curiously, and after seeing the location marked on the accurate map~www. readwn.com ~ Sylvia's face was surprised, and he couldn't help saying: "That location is not..."

"Yes." Leo took Sylvia's words and nodded, saying, "It's the ruins that old man Rembrandt is now digging."

"Now my remuneration has been paid. After the arrangements there, I will pick you up to manage the city." Alice didn't leave the idea of ​​continuing to talk with Leo, reminded Leo, and turned away. The room.

After Alice left, Sylvia said with regret: "We can actually ask for more."

"It's not necessary," Leo shook his head and said, "I know you want the treasures of the Black Forest specialties accumulated in Lanxi City over the years, but those things may not necessarily be used outside the Black Forest, there is no need For this thing to spread out."

"You're right, I'm a little greedy, as if affected by blood, the abyss dragon's greed for treasure is one of the best in the abyss monster." Sylvia shrugged, mocked himself, and then asked curiously again Dao: "When I mentioned the black ball just now, I think your expression seems to know what it is. Is it convenient for you to say?"

"There is nothing inconvenient." Leo smiled and said: "I'm not sure yet, but from Alice's description, that thing should be a master brain."

"Mastermind?" Sylvia laughed when he heard Leo's noun in Earth Federation. "It sounds like the name of a special dish in the United States and California."

Leo did not explain further, because he did not know how to use the language of the Velon world to explain the main brain, because even the earth’s federal language could not explain the main brain, only in the universal lingua franca used by higher civilizations, That language is a spiritual language, not a language in the conventional sense.
