The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The door of the hunter’s cabin was unlocked, but a latch was inserted. Leo opened the door and walked in. Looking around the room, he found the fireplace and some dry wood for the fire.

After lighting the fireplace, he turned around and was about to close the door. He saw some white shadows shaking in the forest outside the wooden house.

"It's a group of guys who don't know how to live or die!" Leo sneered a little when he saw these white shadows shaking in the distance, but he didn't dare to approach him. He ignored them and closed the door, and began to look for the clothes he needed in the room.

This group of white shadows is a group of dream spirits that he encountered just now. Their form is like the legendary ghost. They will usually hide in the shade of the forest. Once someone breaks into their trap, they will come out at the same time. The entrant attacks.

Their attacks are all mental attacks, which can generate extremely powerful psionic waves, interfere with ordinary people's brains, and cause people to produce extremely real spiritual hallucinations. Most of these hallucinations are the most terrifying things in the mind of the attacker. If you are killed in the middle, you will also die in reality, so the average person has a low chance of survival under the siege of such a group of dream spirits.

It is a pity that these dream spirits attacked Leo. Even if Leo was attacked by a sudden attack, he saw what he thought was the most terrifying scene, but the auxiliary brain system in an absolutely sensible state was easily disassembled. The illusion made him instantly out of the influence of the illusion, and directly killed more than a dozen of such dream spirits, and the rest were frightened to flee around.

It's just that these dream spirits seem to have a strong sense of revenge. After fleeing, they quickly gathered together and followed behind Leo far, looking for opportunities to start, until now.

Because the strengths and weaknesses of these dream spirits have been clarified, Leo does not care about the trailing of these dream spirits.

On the contrary, because of the existence of these dream spirits, the other dream spirits encountered on Leo’s road were exposed before he approached, and they would not even actively attack Leo. Instead, they would attack these trailing dream spirits, so that after him The road is a lot better.

After searching in the cabin, Leo quickly found several sets of clothing, which are some old style hunting jackets, and they are one size smaller than his body shape, even if he does not wear any inner shirts. , Naked, I am afraid it is difficult to put these coats on the body.

In addition, Leo also found several sets of weapons in the house. The reason for saying a few sets is that these weapons are stored in sets, basically two cold weapons similar to the **** war knife, with a blade crossbow and a bag of silvery white gravel.

Leo did not know exactly what the bag of gravel was, but he could feel a psionic energy from the gravel, and the wavelength composition of this psionic energy was very similar to the psionic field formed by the nets outside the eaves of the door. It should also be an item used to dispel dream spirits.

In addition, there are some pills and ointments in the cabinet where the weapons are stored. Except for one or two medicines and the common healing medicines described in medical school books, most of them are some very powerful refreshing drugs. Smelling the smell of these drugs can make your mind very clear.

According to Leo’s guess, these drugs should be mainly used to deal with the spirits of the white shadow dreams outside, because after using these drugs, the mind becomes sober, and the illusions against the spirit have no effect.

In addition to some supplies such as clothing and weapons, there are several books in the room. It seems that these books should be put here by the hunter squad that came to this supply before. Unfortunately, Leo does not have the wizard who can see the handwriting clearly. Wonderful things, so I can only sigh.

Not being able to find a useful item in the house, Leo had to take out the animal skin map again in preparation for the location of the next supply point.

However, at this time, a bit of silvery white gravel on his finger just accidentally fell on the animal skin, and the animal skin immediately experienced a faint light.

Because it was by the fireplace, this faint flash of light was obscured by the firelight from the fireplace. Leo did not notice it, but his vice brain system recorded this change, and in A prompt screen was formed in his eyes.

Seeing the reminder screen given by the para-brain system, Leo realized that the silver-white gravel just seemed to cause some kind of reaction on the map of the hide.

To this end, Leo quickly picked up a bag of silver-white gravel, twisted some gravel with his fingers, and sprinkled it on the hide. This time, the glow on the hide was a little stronger and lasted longer, but he still couldn't understand what was going on.

"Put it all on it!" Leo thought for a moment, and poured the whole bag of silvery white gravel onto the hide directly.

In an instant, the animal skin produced an effect similar to a flash bomb, bursting out a strong light, and the light did not disappear as the weak light before, but spread out like sunlight, and wear it in the blink of an eye. Passing the cabin, covering a range of hundreds of meters centered on the cabin.

Leo’s vision could not penetrate the cabin to see the outside, and his spiritual network was also disturbed by the spiritual energy contained in the light, and he could not perceive the outside normally, but his ears could clearly hear some dreams. The hiss before the death.

After the psionic ray disappears, Leo uses the spiritual net to perceive the situation outside, and finds that the entangled dream spirits have all disappeared, as if purified by the light.

To confirm, Leo walked out of the hut, went outside, looked around, and found a lot of high-energy substances on the ground that should be the remains of the spirit of dreams.

"What the **** are you?" Leo whispered after looking at the dozen high-energy substances in his hand, and then at the restored map of the hide.

Just when Leo was surprised and puzzled about the origin of this animal skin, far from the top of the tallest and largest wizard tower in the center of Yinyue Lake Silver Moon City, a sudden change of an ancient wizard strange thing caused silver Attention of the high-rise of Moon City.

The black tower at the center of Yinyue City is the center of the entire Yinyue City and even the whole world. It is also the tallest building in the world. It is 373 meters high and contains 57-story towers. Headquarters.

Except for the chiefs of the association, no one knows who built the black tower and what its use is. It only knows that this black tower had stood here before the appearance of Silvermoon City. There is also a rumor that the chief of the wizarding association is not so much the owner of the black tower, but that it is more appropriate to be the caretaker. There is no conclusion about what to watch.

However, as the chiefs of the wizarding association began to build their own wizarding towers, the headquarters of the wizarding association was relocated from the black tower, and a wizarding association area was reopened in Silvermoon City. The black tower was also rebuilt Public places such as public libraries and museums.

However, these public areas open to the outside world only have floors below 50, while those above 50 are still under the direct control of the Wizarding Association.

The top eight floors of the early Black Tower were converted into temporary residences for the lower-level wizards. Later, because of the continuous expansion of the wizarding association, the number of lower-level wizards increased sharply. The wizarding association had to rebuild a wizarding quarter in the urban area. Placed there, the top eight floors were vacant again.

Nowadays, the vacant eight storeys have been rented out by the ten-year-old and Yinyue City newly emerged mechanics associations for decades. They not only transformed the top eight storeys into machinery research and manufacturing studios, but also The top floor was transformed into a dock for the airship, and three steam elevators were installed directly to the bottom.

The airship dock at the top of the Black Tower is not the ordinary airship dock in the Ten Town and Silvermoon City. This airship is specifically responsible for the important places such as the tombkeeper’s hut outside the lake, the fog guard castle, and the night watch castle. Supplies.

Today is the first time this month's monthly supply of materials has been supplemented by various stations outside the Lake District, but the importance of this matter is very common in and around Yinyue City. The company is responsible, and they are more concerned about the ownership of the tenth chief wizard seat.

As in previous years, the mechanical workshop and the airship transportation company also selected five people as usual to specialize in cargo inventory and airship maintenance. Belem is one of the five in the mechanical studio.

Compared with other colleagues who have already worked in the Black Tower, Belem, who came to the Black Tower for the first time, was very curious about everything around him. After checking an airship that was about to depart, he was idle. He began to wander east and west at the top of the black tower, touching here and touching there.

For the residents of the ordinary Silver Moon City, the top of the Black Tower has always been the most mysterious place. There are many legends about the top of the Black Tower circulating in the city, and there are some ridiculous legends. For example, the secret of the destruction of the world is hidden in the black In the room on the top of the tower, etc.

Although this rumor sounds ridiculous and no one will believe it, it is strange that this rumor has never disappeared in Silvermoon City.

Even if the headquarters of the Wizards’ Association was relocated from the Black Tower, the Black Tower was handed over to the City Council for management, and then the most secret top-floor room was handed over to the mechanical studio, allowing many ordinary apprentices in mechanical studios like Belem Can also come to the top of the black tower, this ridiculous rumor is still circulating in the city, affecting ordinary people from generation to generation.

Belem is obviously one of the people affected. For the behavior of Belem touching in the room, the rest of the people in the room are also surprised. In fact, they first came to this room for the first time. , The behavior is similar to Belem.

"If there is any secret that destroys the world, the wizards have already discovered it." One of the airship transportation company's porters watched Belen doing what he had done before and couldn't help but laugh. " What's more, the wizards evacuated the place when they left, and those secrets are probably in the things that were removed."

"Those wizards haven't been evacuated." A mechanical engineer refuted the porter, pointing to the dome above the room, and said: "There is a big guy above there who can't move away, he can only stay here."

Everyone followed the fingers of the mechanical engineer and looked up, and saw a mechanical sphere suspended on the dome. The entire sphere was composed of dozens of horizontal and vertical circular axes. There are a lot of exquisite patterns on the surface of these round shafts. It's just that because of the corrosion, these patterns have been blurred, and the whole ball looks like it will fall apart at any time.

"Isn't this something you installed after your mechanical studio took over here?" an airship company manager asked in a puzzled way.

"Of course not." The mechanical engineer who enjoyed the crowd's attention when he saw all the people showing their doubts explained: "According to the record, this thing already existed when the black tower was built, but now No one knows what is the use of this thing, the related books and materials have been burned in the black tower chaos."

"Hey, buddy!" An engineer in the mechanical studio suddenly reminded his colleagues, "Some words are not suitable to come up with."

The Black Tower Rebellion is the biggest stain of the Wizards Association~www.readwn.com~ This turmoil almost destroyed the Wizards Association, and almost destroyed Silvermoon City and Ten Towns. So far, the United Parliament has not recovered, and the night watchman It is still independent from the United Parliament, so this turmoil that happened hundreds of years ago is taboo even in today’s Silvermoon City.

Regarding the caution of his colleagues, the mechanical engineer flicked his lips in disapproval, and then he watched Belen move the herringbone ladder directly under the sphere. It seemed that he planned to move closer to see the sphere. Then he said: "This The thing that doesn’t look good is that several vertical and horizontal axes are connected by bearings, and the axial direction can be changed by gear movement."

Belen didn't listen to his colleagues, climbed the herringbone ladder and got close to the rusty sphere. He looked closely and questioned: "If the sphere can turn on its own, what is the power to the sphere?"

"Maybe it is some kind of old steam engine installation, doesn't it mean that a lot of things were removed when the Wizards Association left?" A porter stepped forward and looked up at this quirky ball, saying, "Maybe the steam engine that provides power It was removed at that time."

"No!" Belem shook his head and said, "There are no steam pipes on it. Even if there is a steam engine, the steam power cannot be transmitted here."

Speaking of words, Belen took out a rust-cleaning matte cloth from his kit and wiped it on a horizontal axis on the outermost periphery of the sphere. The rust on the top was wiped off to reveal the underlying pattern.

When Belen was ready to see exactly what the above pattern looked like, all the vertical and horizontal bearings of the sphere suddenly shone a burst of white light, and then began to rotate. Before everyone responded, all the vertical and horizontal bearings were turned together, and then stopped at the same time, so that the entire object changed from a sphere to a disk.
