The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Have you deciphered those cuneiform writing?" Langnus looked at the two human sacrifice pillars in surprise. Although he had tried it just now, he still couldn't help being curious. He reached out and touched the human sacrifice in front of him. Zhu, and asked anxiously.

He knew exactly how this kind of people sacrificed pillars appeared. The scholars who studied cuneiform writing with him all became this thing. The research team tried various methods to treat them, but none of them were effective, and even some were used. The power of the gods is useless, and the human sacrifice pillar still contains some power and hurts the person who touches it. Therefore, the result of the research team is that this power can be protected and blocked, but it is uncontrollable.

However, the two human sacrifice pillars in front of them showed another result to Langnus. The people who became human sacrifice pillars were spies or killers of the two church countries, while Leo and Sylvia did not show the slightest difference. Sitting next to the injured person, and the most important point is that the power contained in the two human sacrifice pillars did not cause harm to the person who touched it. This means that the power in the human sacrifice pillar is controlled, which makes him can’t help but guess the thunder. Ou has cracked the cuneiform writing and mastered the power contained in the cuneiform writing.

"No." Leo shook his head, then took out a part of the information he had compiled, put it on the table, and said: "This kind of cuneiform writing contains too much knowledge content, far more than these words. In itself, I just sorted out part of the content that I can see, but compared to the cuneiform text you gave me, this part is just a light spot in the night starry sky."

"Did you really crack it?" Langnus's face was full of shock. Although he had speculated about Leo's cracking of cuneiform just now, it was still difficult for him to hear the answer from Leo's mouth. Believable.

Because he knows how difficult it is to interpret these cuneiform scripts, the relevant research group has been established since the founding of the Otter Federation, and he has joined the research group for decades, and the whole cracking work has been progressing very slowly. The result was only a breakthrough after he joined, and he was able to hold the current status in the Otter Federation partly because of this reason.

　　 But now Leo made it clear that he had cracked the part of the cuneiform text in his hand, and within a few days, even if it was only part of it, it was unimaginable.

　　 Langnus couldn't wait to see what Leo had cracked, stretched out his hand, ready to pick up the information.

　　 Leo just held down the file in advance and said, "You can't read these now."

　　 Langenus frowned. Although he was a little unhappy, he felt that Leo's doing this should have other meanings.

I saw that after Leo stopped Langenus, he said: "You have too much twisting power accumulated in your body. Some of the contents in this document will trigger these powers, so before you look at these powers, it is best to wear enough Powerful things prevent the twisting power from bursting out."

　　 "Twisting power?" A look of incomprehension appeared on Langenus' face.

Leo didn’t give a specific explanation either. He just pointed to the person on the side of the pillar. Langnus showed a clear expression. In the research team, he would also use a name to refer to the mysterious power contained in the cuneiform writing, just that. The nickname is not random like Leo, it sounds more mysterious and powerful.

Knowing that the document might trigger the twisting power in his body, Langenus had to suppress his curiosity, let alone looking through it, now he didn't even want to touch it, so he gestured to the assistant beside him. , Asked the assistant to put the document in a special box and temporarily sealed it up.

　　 He intends to wait until he finds a strange object with strong enough protection, and then look at these documents. As for handing in the documents and materials for other people to study, this is completely out of his consideration.

Langenus went on to say: "The proposal to give you access to that thing has been submitted to the committee, and it is now in the discussion stage, but now with your research document as a basis, I believe we will be able to get the exact information in two days. "Following, he pointed to the two human sacrifice pillars, and said, "What do you plan to do with these?"

　　 Leo said casually: "I will leave it to you to deal with it, I don't need this thing."

Hearing Leo said this, Langenus gave a few words to the assistant in a low voice. After waiting for a while, he saw some people from the special forces of the Ministry of Education come in, and they pushed in two large boxes like coffins at the same time. , There are still a lot of mysterious inscriptions on the surface of the box, and they each took out a long rod similar to a grabbing device, and then each grabbed a position of the human sacrifice column, put it into the inscription coffin, and closed the lid. Later, they were covered with a piece of old-looking rags.

　　 Leo's gaze stayed on the rags for a while, because he could feel some witchcraft-like power in the two rags.

　　Langanus also saw Leo’s sight, so before Leo asked, he took the initiative to answer: "They are two sage robes."

　　 Leo hesitated for a moment, and confirmed: "Is the sage of the Old World School City?"

　　 The school city in the Old Continent is a very famous place. Even if the school city has declined now, the reputation of the school city is still very big.

It’s impossible to test when the Xuecheng was established. The only thing that can be confirmed is that in the ancient kingdoms and empires of the Old Continent, the advisors of kings and princes, the heads of high authority, are all held by the people of Xuecheng. For a long time, this has been an unwritten rule in the countries of the Old World.

The sages of the school city are the most outstanding of all scholars. The ancient method of selecting sages has been left behind. Now the sages of the school city need a sage council to submit proposals, including more than half of the registered scholars in the school city. Agree, that scholar can become a sage.

Although various countries have established their own national colleges, the role of learning cities has rapidly diminished and their reputation has also fallen, but the sages of the learning cities still have an unusual status, even compared to the popes and saints of some churches. Must be honorable.

　　 After hearing Leo’s question, Langenus nodded, and revealed what Leo was thinking, saying: "You suspect that they are the wizards of this world, right?"

　　 "Do you doubt it too?" Leo heard another meaning in Langenus' words.

　　 Langenus nodded and said: "I did doubt it in the past, but now I am pretty sure that they are not wizards, at least not the sages now."

　　 "Why do you say that?" Leo asked puzzledly.

Langenus took out a badge-like thing from his underwear buckle, showed Leo, and said: "Because I am the sage of the school city, I know very well that the sage of the school city is What's the situation?" As he said, he changed his conversation and said: "But if you have time, you can still go to Xuecheng to take a look. I think the original creator of Xuecheng should have something to do with the tower wizard. It’s just that Xuecheng has experienced many devastating disasters, and there is very little information in the past. Most of them are made up by some people, which is not credible."

　　 "These two sage robes...?" Leo asked, pointing to the box that was being carried out.

"I bought it for 30 jinnars." Langenus said an incredible price, and then added quite meaningfully: "I bought it from the college's archives director. I bought fifteen. "

　　 Kinnar is the currency of the Old World. The currency converted into the federal currency is almost equivalent to a year's income of an ordinary farmer, but using this money to buy fifteen robes with witchcraft-like powers is almost the same as picking up for nothing.

　　 "Why..." Leo couldn't help but wonder.

Langenus said with great disdain: "The world is always easy to be obscured by gorgeous appearance, and those who are blinded by money are even more so." He said, he reminded: "If you still want to If you want to find something valuable in Xuecheng, you must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, those guys will sooner or later tear down the city and sell it."

After that, Langenus seemed unwilling to mention more about the school city. He changed the subject a little bit. After a few small chats, he got up and left in a hurry, but before leaving, he seemed to remember something and take it again. A document was sent to Leo, that document was related to the exploration of Trub Mountain by the Haute Federation, and most of the contents were undisclosed.

"If you didn't give him the research documents, he would probably not take out this information." Sylvia walked out of the back room and looked at the documents in Leo's hands, with a contemptuous tone. Said.

Although Sylvia respects the old Rembrandt very much, she dislikes the current Langnus very much. Under the influence of this emotion, she also does not think that the old Rembrandt has the memory of Langnus and Lun. What did the old man Blanc have to do, so when Langenus came, she chose to avoid it, not seeing it and not bothering.

Leo smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't particularly care about it. After all, Langnus still retained a bit of the character and memory of the old Rembrandt. Can the two be regarded as the same person? It doesn’t matter much to him. What he cares about is how much useful things the other party can bring to him. At least for now, the appearance of Langenus has saved a lot of the energy and time he needs to explore on his own. .

　　 "What do you think of the last words he said?" Leo didn't rush to look through the information, but asked Sylvia seriously.

　　 "The last thing to say? Are you talking about the Gutal River?" Sylvia's mind came up with the chattering words of Langnus before he left.

　　 "No." Leo corrected him: "It's Xuecheng. He said that if he wants to find something valuable from the Xuecheng, he must leave as soon as possible."

　　 Sylvia thought for a while, and said, "Are you saying, is he deliberately suggesting that we leave as soon as possible?"

　　 Leo nodded, and said, "The hint must be a hint, but I'm thinking about why he did such a hint?"

"The federal government is going to be against us?" Sylvia quickly made a guess, but after speaking out, she smiled and shook her head again, denying the guess, not to mention why the federal government should be against their couple , Even if you want to do something unfavorable, you should maximize the grenade research by Leo and design a mass-produced weapon of destruction before you can take action. Now that the weapon design has no idea, start to do it, and then How stupid people shouldn't do this kind of thing.

　　 However, Leo didn't seem to deny this speculation like Sylvia, but after thinking about it very seriously for a while, he asked: "Under what circumstances do you think the federal government will be against us now?"

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words. She didn't expect Leo to accept the conjecture she denied, but she didn't ask more, but thought about it seriously, and in the process of thinking, the face on her face The expression gradually became solemn, and she only heard her solemn voice saying: "Analyzed according to the normal situation, it is impossible for the federal government to be disadvantageous to us at this time, but if it is in an abnormal situation, then this kind of thing may happen. ."

　　 "Be more specific," Leo said.

"If the ultimate benefit is far less than the possible loss, then they may cut off the cause of the possible loss in order to ensure the ultimate benefit." Sylvia said seriously: "For example, we require close Get in touch with the secret weapons in the federal government’s collection."

　　 Leo was silent for a moment, and said, "Are we acting too eagerly?"

Sylvia nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit. Starting from Beluk City, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, we have all repeatedly stated and hinted that we want to study the secret weapons of the federal government. This matter. If there is no problem at other times, they will only think that we are all scholars, with a strong curiosity and desire for research, but if in this situation, the high level of the federal government will have to doubt ours. Some intentions, if at this time some of the church-state-controlled chess pieces within the federal government are added to the flames, then the federal government will easily think that we may be spies sent by the church-state, and everything we did before was just bait. That secret weapon in the federal government’s collection."

　　 Leo frowned, and said solemnly: "Don't they want to maximize the grenade?"

"No, the maximization of grenade may be of great value to them, but this value is relative. If another item of higher value appears, then maximization of the grenade will become worthless, such as the one from the federal government. Secret weapon." Sylvia seriously analyzed: "And for the federal government, even if the grenade is not maximized, the current grenade power alone is enough for them to use. The difference between the two is only when the war ends sooner or later. In the end, the size of the casualties and losses is nothing more than. For those politicians who are above them, the casualties and losses of the people at the bottom are just a number."

　　 After listening to the analysis, Leo thought about it for a while, and said, "It seems that the list you got has to be used in advance."
