The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo and Sylvia can easily hear that the footsteps should be footsteps generated by humans or human-like bipeds. They looked at each other, walked out, and looked in the direction of footsteps.

It didn’t take long for me to see a tree bush being pulled apart, followed by an old man with white clothes with a very old style of clothing coming out from behind the tree bush. The bow he carried on his body, the trap for trapping animals, etc. It should be the owner of this hunter's cabin.

When Leo saw the old hunter, the old hunter also saw Leo and Sylvia, and was startled, and then looked at the pair of young people who suddenly appeared in front of their cabin. People, and what attracted his most attention was the clothes they wore. Obviously, the clothes worn by the two of them were very different from the old hunter's second-era civilian clothes.

　　 "Who are you?" The old hunter quickly returned to normal and asked Leo and Sylvia.

　　Although the language used by the old hunters is ancient French, it is not much different from modern French. Some are like local languages ​​in remote areas of southern France, which can be understood by Leo and Sylvia.

　　 "We are just people who got lost in the Black Forest." Sylvia casually found a reason according to the closest local language in his memory.

Although the language that Sylvia speaks is not very different from the old man in her opinion, the old hunter can clearly feel the difference in language between the two, and also wonders where the accent of Sylvia is accent.

　　Although it was only a very brief conversation, the attitude of the old hunter has changed from the vigilance and alertness to the relaxation of the hunter, and his hands have been removed from the handle of the waist without any traces.

His question just now was to determine whether the two people in front of him turned into monsters in the Black Forest, because in known attempts, the monsters could become normal people, but they could not talk like normal people. .

　　 The moment Sylvia spoke, she had proved that she was not a monster of the Black Forest.

　　 It’s just that the old hunter also wondered why the two strangely dressed people in front of him would get lost in the Black Forest.

Although the Black Forest has never been regarded as a forbidden place, anyone who wants to enter the Black Forest can enter, but almost everyone is well aware of the dangers of the Black Forest, and no one will go to the Black Forest for boring reasons such as play. Inside, it even came to the edge of this black forest security zone.

The old hunter knew that the hunter’s hut he built was specially used to deal with prey after he hunted the Black Forest monsters, and used as a temporary storage point. During the construction, the site was chosen to be extremely close to the boundary of the safe area. local,

Facts also prove that his location is correct. With the help of this hunter's cabin, he can catch some weak monsters in the Black Forest faster, and he doesn't have to worry about someone coming into the hunter's cabin. In fact, this is the first time he encountered Outsiders discovered the hunter's hut.

　　 "Where did you come from?" the old hunter asked again.

　　 "This is inconvenient to say." Sylvia said vaguely.

　　 And the old hunter's hand that was originally released from the weapon returned to the weapon, and he looked at Leo and Sylvia with vigilance.

Although anyone can enter the Black Forest, anyone who enters the Black Forest and gains something must pay an expensive Black Forest tax. The old hunter’s financial status simply cannot afford such a heavy tax. Second-level forest hunting is very careful to try to stay away from the search range of those lords.

　　Now Sylvia's ambiguous answer naturally caused the old hunter's worries, but he was still suspicious of the two's identities.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not your enemy, and I'm not malicious to you. We just found this hunter's cabin by accident." Leo said at this time: "If you don't show up, we will go quickly. Now."

Although Leo’s words are just some ordinary explanations, he used some psionic voice utterances when he spoke. These weak psionic sound waves were naturally introduced into the old hunter’s ears. It gave him a sense of inexplicable trust, and his hands were dropped from his weapon again.

　　 "Do I need to take you out?" Under the influence of trust, the old hunter asked.

　　 "Of course." Leo nodded politely.

The old hunter didn't say much, walked into the wooden house, took out the weapon in the oil barrel, wiped it away, put it away, took out two more weapons from the backpack and inserted it into the barrel, then turned around After stepping out of the room and closing the door, he signaled Leo and Sylvia to follow him.

　　Neither Leo nor Sylvia said anything. He followed behind the old hunter and walked toward the realm controlled by the mysterious existence mentioned in the message in his mind.

After walking for a while, Sylvia suddenly broke the silence and said: "My name is Sylvia, this is my partner Leo. We are here for the first time. Can you introduce some of your territory? Case?"

The old hunter was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Leo and Sylvia, and looked again and again on the two of them incongruous costumes, followed by what seemed to be thought, and his face was exposed In awe.

　　The old hunter tentatively asked in a low-profile tone: "The two adults are from Lanxi?"

"Lanxi?" Leo and Sylvia froze for a moment, but soon realized that Lanxi mentioned by the old hunter should not be Lanxi, the industrial center of the United Kingdom of Vellon, but a derivative of the French Empire in the Black Forest. Lanxi, the city built by the civilization that came out.

Lanxi has a special meaning for any French people. Even in the third dynasty, many French people do not think that the city of Dongling is the capital city of the French Empire. The ancient capital city of Lanxi is. This idea is most popular among people in the southern and western parts of the French Empire.

　　So that after the establishment of the United Kingdom of France, the British government also had to obey the public opinion and established Lanxi as the capital of the kingdom.

From the words of the old hunter, Leo and Sylvia are not difficult to guess. Now in this black forest world, there is also a civilization named its center as Lanxi, which is not related to their previous guesses related to the Second Dynasty And together.

　　 "Yes, we are from Lanxi." Sylvia nodded and admitted.

Hearing Sylvia’s confession, the old hunter was a little relieved. The Lanxi people in his heart were indeed awesome, even fearful, but compared to the lord who actually controlled them, Lanxi’s people were obviously not So threatening.

Moreover, it also made him have doubts about the strange clothes on the two of them. After all, those people in Lanxi are known for their strangeness, not to mention wearing some strange-shaped clothes, even if they become strange-shaped people. what.

What's more, Lanxi people are a symbol of wealth for those who like to live in the Black Forest. Every time those who help Lanxi work, they can finally earn a huge amount of wealth that they can only earn for years. .

The old hunter thought that he might get an unexpected fortune, a smile appeared on his face, followed by a tentative inquiry: "Why did you send someone so early this year? Now those monsters in the Black Forest are still there During the dormant period, at least four full moons are needed to regain vitality." He said, before Leo and Sylvia reacted, he said wisely: "Do you want to go deeper into the Black Forest?" ?If yes, you must find me, to know my understanding of the Black Forest, no one in the entire Lyon collar can match it."

With that said, he deliberately removed the bow he was carrying behind him, then took an arrow, looked for it in the surrounding forest, shot an arrow at one of the trees, and then saw that arrow penetrated A tree-like black forest creature fell.

　　 Seeing this scene, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other, exchanged their eyes, and looked slightly different to the old hunter.

Although the old hunter's bow archery just looked no different from the ordinary archery, Leo and Sylvia felt that the old hunter's arrow had an extraordinary power attached to it. This extraordinary power is not very strong, but it can be around. In this environment, it is particularly obvious.

　　 The first human encountered in the Black Forest actually possessed extraordinary power. How many people in this civilization within the Black Forest possessed extraordinary power? This problem appeared in Leo and Sylvia's mind at the same time.

When guessing that there is a civilization that continues in the second dynasty of the French in the Black Forest, Leo and Sylvia once thought that people in this civilization also have extraordinary powers, because in an environment like the Black Forest, long Time is affected by huge energy, and human beings will definitely undergo some mutations.

　　 But they never imagined that an old hunter he met casually also possessed extraordinary power, and judging from the techniques and processes he used, he was very familiar with this power, and it has obviously been used for a long time.

　　Although Leo and Sylvia were curious in their hearts, they did not ask the old hunter about the extraordinary power, but put the topic back on what he called the Lyon collar.

The old hunter didn’t doubt him, and he said something he knew about Lyon’s collar seriously, but even if he made everything as clear as possible, but in the end Leo and Sylvia’s Not much has been gained.

This is not because the old hunter concealed something, but because the old hunter just knew these things. He spent his life in the Black Forest asking for life, letting him talk about the things in the Black Forest. He can tell a lot of information, such as those The growth cycle of the tree, the roots and leaves of those trees can be used as medicine, etc., but he has not been to other places in Lyon collar, all things about other places in Lyon collar are merchants who come here to buy prey Say, he just put together the fragments of his memory and told Leo and Sylvia.

Now the corresponding place in this Black Forest is the Lyon domain. Here is controlled by a lord called Prodi. How big the whole territory is is unclear. The old hunter just knows that after leaving the Black Forest, he can reach Prodi in about a day or so. The castle.

　　The village where the old hunter is located is the only village nearby. This village is mainly planted with a kind of wine-making berry, and some people will also make a camel hunter.

　　 In addition, there are wars. The specific wars and where to fight are not clear to the old hunters. Lord Prodi often mobilizes some young people to fight. After each war, there are not many people who can return.

　　Speaking and walking like this, a group of three quickly walked out of the Black Forest.

Here, the boundary of the Black Forest is also similar to that of the Velon world. It is a tall tree wall. After walking out of the Black Forest, Leo saw the scene that almost made him think that he was back in the Velon world because of the sight and After he passed through the Black Forest, the scene he saw was very similar.

　　 They are all a piece of cultivated land, and the crops are regularly divided on the land, but the crops at that time are staple foods such as wheat, and the crops in front of them are berries covered with red fruits.

"That's our village over there." The old hunter led Leo and Sylvia through a crop, walked to a hillside, then pointed to a village in the distance and said, "The two adults can come to our village first Take a break inside ~www.readwn.com~ when the village carriage can take the two adults to the castle."

Neither Leo nor Sylvia objected to the old hunter’s proposal. Sylvia suddenly thought of money, so he took out a Jinsa from his pocket and passed it to the old hunter, saying, "This can serve as Does it cost?"

"This..." Seeing the Jinsa out of Sylvia, the old hunter's face showed a shocked expression, and quickly shook his head, saying: "No, no! This is too expensive, too expensive! This kind of artifact I dare not accept it."

　　From the reaction of the old hunters, Leo and Sylvia can see that gold seems to be more precious than imagined here, even being regarded as a god.

　　 "We rarely come out, I don't know what currency you use to trade?" Sylvia collected the gold coins back and asked.

Seeing Sylvia recover the gold coins, the old hunter felt a little upset, but he didn't say much. Before, there was still some doubts about the identity of Leo and Sylvia. Now this doubt is gone. It seems to him that only Lanxi's talents will take out the artifacts as currency at will.

The old hunter then took out some money from his pocket and placed it in front of Leo and Sylvia. Both of them were surprised when they saw it, because the money the old hunter took out was not metal at all, but pieces of wood. Pieces, engraved with numbers and some patterns on wood pieces

Leo and Sylvia each picked up a piece and looked at it, and soon they realized that this piece of wood was not as simple as it seemed, because they both felt a faint energy in the piece of wood. Obviously this A trace of energy is the key to distinguishing the authenticity of this piece of wood currency.
