The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"How did you know that it was the sacrificial pot used by the ancient priests of the hill king?" The woman standing at the door immediately asked immediately when Leo opened the door. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā

Leo did not immediately answer, but looked up and down at the woman in front of him, and the woman's first impression was that he was strong. A man like a rock is usually used to describe a man, but it is now placed on the woman in front of him. Also very suitable.

The tall body that is not much worse than Leo, the bare body surface with blue muscles, and the muscles that look no harder than it looks, making this woman who looks barely feminine looks very tough, even if she is at the moment. Wearing a pair of idiosyncratic mechanical eyes can't make her a little scholarly.

"Who are you?" Although Leo had already guessed the identity of the woman, he asked for some reason.

Just like the other person's appearance, the woman raised her hand very straightforwardly and introduced herself: "Aisha Tasia Jinna, Baroness of the Kingdom of Marais, Professor of the Bavowski School of History."

"Leo Dodd, traveler." Leo said, shaking his hand.

The female scholar said bluntly: "You don't look like a traveler."

"You don't seem to be a professor of history." Leo also responded.

As a woman, Aisha seems to have been accustomed to the strange eyes of others, and she did not have any unpleasant look at Leo's words. Instead, she looked at Leo quite appreciatively. Because she could feel that Leo's words didn't have the kind of irritating maliciousness, just just talking about things, this was the first time she encountered such a situation.

After checking, Aisha took a cash check from the General Chamber of Commerce bank and handed it to Leo, and then asked very formally: "The problems you just answered were raised by me. I came to you in addition to thinking If you want to give the reward to you, you also want to ask why would you judge which pot is the sacrificial pot of the ancient priest of the hill king?"

Leo took the check and didn’t look at the number above, so he put it in his pocket, and then asked: “I also want to know why you think it is a sacrificial pot?”

"How do you know?" Aisha couldn't hide her surprise.

Leo explained: "It's very simple. The question you asked reveals a lot of content. If you don't know anything about it, you won't ask who is using it, but what age it is. , What is the use and so on. Since you are asking who is using it, obviously you already have an answer in your heart, but you are not very sure."

"Are you a detective? You know so many things in just one sentence?" Aisha said with great surprise.

Because Aisha's voice was so loud, the people passing by in the corridor could not help but look over. Those people did not recognize Aisha as a woman at first, but soon they became aware, and their vision towards Aisha also changed It's weird.

Leo frowned, opened the door completely, let himself out, and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's talk in!"

"Alright." Although Aisha has long been accustomed to the abnormal sight of others, it is also a good thing to be able to avoid these sights. After all, not everyone likes this highly anticipated situation.

After entering the house, Leo closed the door, let Aisha sit down in the living room, asked what she needed to drink, and poured a glass of honey for herself and Aisha.

After Leo handed the honey wine to Aisha, she sat on the sofa opposite Aisha, took a sip of wine, and said, "Although the style of the sacrificial pot in your hand is ordinary, the workmanship is actually very close. Manufactured exactly in accordance with the conditions necessary for the ancient sacrificial ceremonies. In addition to the clay required for making the sacrificial jug, there is also bone powder grinded by the priest's ribs.

"How do you know that the ingredients are mixed with bone meal?" Aisha asked the honey wine on the table.

"I have some special abilities." Leo replied vaguely, then remarked, "like your body."

The expression on Aisha's face suddenly became serious, her hands involuntarily put on her waist, what she wanted to catch, but she grabbed an empty space. Obviously she forgot to discuss the learning by herself, not to fight.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not malicious." Leo spread his hands and said.

Aisha was silent for a while and asked tentatively: "Are you here to catch me?"

"No." Renault said truthfully, "I didn't even see you before you knocked on the door."

Aisha asked, "How do you know..."

Before Aisha finished the question, Leo raised his hand, and a ray of light rose from his palm and hung in the air, adding a layer of light to the dim interior.

"You are also that kind of person?" Aisha looked at the light resting on Leo's hand in shock.

Leo dismissed the light cluster created by the psionic energy in his hand and did not answer Aisha's inquiry, but gave Aisha a hint. ..

Just when I saw Aisha's body is different from ordinary people, Leo felt an abnormality in his heart, but this feeling was not so strong, until Aisha was let into the house and the two passed by. To be sure, the Baroness of the Kingdom of Maris should be a clan in front of you, and it is probably a clan of the gods of the hill king.

So Leo just tentatively tried it out. As he expected, the other party obviously knew the abnormality of his body, but the other party obviously didn’t know about the dark world, such as clan and sorcerer, and seemed to be very aware of the dark world. Disgusted.

So Leo also tentatively retorted: "Aren't you the same kind of people?"

"No, I am not." Aisha denied without hesitation, but knew that her words were not persuasive and immediately fell silent.

Leo felt that the other party seemed to be struggling, so he didn't bother to speak, but just sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the other party to speak again.

After a while, Aisha raised her head, drank the honey wine on the table, and then looked at Leo with complicated eyes, and said, "Can you tell me, what are you?"

"Don't you know the dark world?" Leo asked rhetorically.

"Dark world? I don't know what a dark world is." Aisha seemed to hear the name for the first time, hesitating, and asked, "Dark world means people like you?"

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "What's going on with your body? If I guess right, your body shouldn't have been like this before, right?" The words fell and he saw Aisha's face showing The embarrassing color added: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it."

While speaking, his hands were pinched into the Axial Seal, and at the same time secretly exerted the power of the Demon Hunter's Seal.

For Leo, although he has been completely immersed in learning various languages ​​and organizing knowledge in the past two days, he is also suffering from the intense curiosity in his heart. The goddess of business, the general chamber of commerce and those free family members are strange. The curiosity caused by the incident did not decay because of the past, but became stronger and stronger in the past two days, making him always have the urge to go out and explore.

Leo is well aware that in addition to problems with his mind, this abnormal situation may be related to the memory he has lost, or it may be related to his willpower that far exceeds the evolution of the body and psionic energy. In short, he is also looking for There is no way to solve this problem.

However, the present of Aisha’s appearance and the secret that brought her can be said to be the right time. Although this does not completely solve his current psychologically weird problems, it can at least help him vent some curiosity.

Aisha, who didn’t know that she was the object of Leo’s catharsis, was a little silent. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she didn’t know why she felt that Leo was a trustworthy person. Finally, she recounted her experience. : "It starts with an archaeology of the first dynasty ruins five years ago..."

It turned out that Aisha's body was no different from ordinary people at first, and she was just an ordinary professor of history. But speaking of her status as a professor has some water, because her aristocratic status has gained a lot of points in the discussion of the promotion of professorships within the college, because all the people who compete with her for professorship are civilians. It became the biggest disadvantage in the eyes of the members of the college council who were all nobles.

Unlike the Velin continent, the three major kingdoms of Minsk still maintain a feudal system close to the ancient kingdom. The nobility is the main body of the country, the king is the largest nobility, the clergy is the spiritual pillar of the country, the civilians are the lambs, and the slaves are the society Bottom layer.

When the countries of the other two continents began to break away from religious control and move towards the two paths of centralization and democracy and freedom, the Minsk continent still maintained its state. For example, the Kingdom of Marais is the Church of the King of the Hill is the real master of the power of the Kingdom. Although the King has the right, it is endowed by the Church of the King of the Hill, because all the kings of the Kingdom of the King of Mars are priests of the King of the Hill.

After Aisha became a professor of history, there were a lot of rumors in the history school that Aisha relied on aristocratic status to become a professor, and it also made the students and faculty of civilians in the school dissatisfied, and these dissatisfaction did not dare to target the college council. I can only go to Aisha, so I have doubled the pressure of Aisha, and I have to look for opportunities to prove myself.

In an auction, Aisha accidentally bought an ancient book from the first dynasty, and inferred from the ancient book the location of the famous mountain king spiritual temple during the first dynasty.

Aisha felt that this was an opportunity to prove her knowledge and ability, so she secretly organized manpower to go to the site where the temple ruins were located to excavate.

At first, things went smoothly. They easily excavated a large number of religious remains in the location inferred by Aisha, and then further found the main hall of the temple.

Only later, the archaeological team excavated a storage room on the side of the temple, and found a lot of treasures that did not have time to transfer, and the worst thing was that the news of the treasures was dug out and caused some people nearby. The gangster's attention.

This group of gangsters rushed to the excavation site overnight and raided the archaeological team. Because Asha studied the ancient religious buildings of the first dynasty in the night, she did not go back to the barracks where the archaeological team was located. She escaped the deadly attack and before the gangster arrived, A tunnel dug from the daytime to the interior of the temple hid inside the temple that was not buried by dust.

Because of the fear, the exhaustion during the day, and the lack of air circulation caused by the closed environment, Aisha quickly fell into a lethargic state. Before she felt dangerous, she fainted.

Only, let Aisha when she woke up the next day, she was already outside the temple, the gangsters had robbed everything, killed all members of the archaeological team, and left the archaeological site, and yesterday The well-preserved temple had collapsed at the moment. One of the more weird things was that she had a pottery bottle in her arms that was not there before.

After going through a series of follow-up events, Aisha returned to the academy and gained the respect of the academy by virtue of her experiences and discoveries. It can be said that her original goal was achieved. However, she was not happy because she discovered that after experiencing a sleepless night in the temple, her body had undergone some changes.

At first, the food intake increased, then the strength became stronger, and then the body became stronger. After a few months, she found that her height, weight, and muscles were gradually increasing and becoming more and more obvious.

She thought it was a disease, so she found a lot of doctors, but found that there was no use, and the place of change would still change. In just one year, she changed from a petite and pure woman to a tall and strong woman. , Female man with muscular muscles.

Looking for a colleague who solves her physical problem, Aisha is also looking for the cause of her physical changes. After repeated searching, she found that the problem may be related to the pottery pot she was holding when she left the temple.

Because she discovered from a religious ancient book of the first dynasty that the hill king religion had a temple guard named Son of Rock, and the descriptions of the son of Rock are very similar to the changes in her body~www.readwn .com~ At the same time, the article also mentioned that creating a son of rock requires a sacrifice pot, so she quickly thought of the pottery pot she took out of the temple as a sacrifice pot.

However, when Aisha was preparing to further study the changes of her body and find a solution to her own physical problems, she was inexplicably chased and killed, and she became a wanted criminal of the Kingdom of Marais. The revoked title, even the Church of the King of the Hill, sent someone to arrest her.

If it weren’t for her amazing strength and her body was strong enough to withstand the attacks of bullets, crossbows and cold weapons, she might have already died on the hunt.

What's even more inexplicable is that in the course of a hunt, she was almost caught, but suddenly a giant bear that was so large that it was about the same size as a carriage came out, and she came down, and then somehow said Some words about what race and lineage, and finally told her that the best way to escape the pursuit is to come to the port of Venaya.

Because she couldn't think of any other good way, she finally chose to obey Simplified and came to the port of Venaya. Fortunately, as the man said, she was not pursued anymore, and fortunately she was able to entrust the general chamber of commerce bank in Venaya Part of her property frozen in the bank in Marais was unfrozen and transferred to the General Chamber of Commerce Bank to provide her life needs in the port of Vinaya.
