The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　Xianyue Lake District has always been a high-end villa area in Miria City. Because Shangxue Lake is located in the suburbs outside the city, most people build it as a holiday villa.

The Xiayue Lake is located in the city of Milia, so that those who are rich or expensive in the city mostly place their residence here, which also makes this area the entire city, except for the administrative area. The place.

Not to mention, the police station in Xiayue Lake District alone is responsible for the security of this area by more than 500 red helmet patrols and more than 40 police officers, and there is also a 200-member French Imperial Gendarmerie ready to stand by. Lake District A total of more than 100 sentinels along the route exercised security monitoring of the entire area.

　　Like ordinary people entering here, they will be questioned if their clothes are a little indecent. Leo's clothes are decent enough in his opinion, but they are still a suspicious member in the eyes of many police officers. There were a few people who wanted to step forward and ask Leo, but after seeing Annie who was leading the way, they all backed away. Obviously, if Annie had a place here, or she was a regular visitor here.

　　 The villa in front of the two is very common, it is a common country house, but such a humble country house is located on the best part of Xiayue Lake.

The villa is surrounded by lake water on three sides, and behind it is a tightly guarded group of high-end villas. Few people can come here. The nearest public street is also one kilometer away, so it is also extremely quiet. Lia City is especially precious in a noisy big city.

　　Annie did not directly push the door in, but honestly pulled the tab at the door.

　　 After a while, she saw a maid-like person come out. After seeing Annie, she immediately opened the door with a smile, and greeted her in without looking at Leo behind him.

　　Although the other party ignored him, Leo couldn't ignore the other party, because after sweeping through his body, his spiritual net found that the body had a fish gill that was not human.

　　 In addition, the maid looked very slim and thin, but in fact Leo could feel that she was very powerful, at least not weaker than before he absorbed the small heart.

　　 It is not difficult to see from this woman's walking posture that even if he was ignored, he was still under strict guard. As long as there was something wrong, the maid would stab the dagger in the sleeve of his sleeve in the shortest time.

　　 The situation in the villa is basically the same as the outside. A few tables, sofas, and then a wine cabinet. It is difficult to imagine that the person living here is a noble person in the city of Miria.

A coughing sound came out of the small garden by the lake outside the villa. Anne did not immediately lead Leo to walk over, but waited in the room for a while, when the maid went to give a report, and turned back Informing that he could go, he led Leo into the small garden.

　　 did not say anything to Leo behind Anne, he was just puzzled by the people who lived here.

　　 This doubt is not because of the person's identity and rules, but because he entered the cabin, the spiritual network was suppressed and could no longer be exhibited, and the vice brain system also reminded himself to enter an energy interference force field.

　　The two of them bypassed a small tree that had been carefully trimmed, and then they saw the person they wanted to see this time.

To be honest, after seeing this person, even if Leo did not know what this person's character is, what he was like, he was very admired in his heart, because he was absolutely sure that if he was hurt so badly like this person, he Will choose to commit suicide, rather than strong and difficult to survive.

　　I saw that there was not much human organs in this old man anymore. His lower body and waist-waist part were all gone. The whole body was installed on a steel wheelchair with a small steam engine.

　　 has also lost all his right hand, replaced with a mechanical arm, the power of the arm is connected to the steam engine in the wheelchair.

　　The lungs on the left side were also lost, replaced by a mechanical lung connected to the wheelchair. This mechanical lung is inserted with some test tube-shaped medicine tubes, and the other end is connected with a leather tube to the box next to the seat. Each breath will have a part of the medicine injected into the mechanical lung through external pressure, producing something that can support him The gas that lives on.

　　 His entire skull was also replaced with a metal skull. About thirty medicine tubes were inserted from the top of the head down to the neck and divided into two sides, along the spine, looking strange.

"My medicine can still be used for a long time, and you should not make a mistake. I want you to come to see me not to change the medicine for me." The old man saw Annie walking over with a sincere smile on his face, and then his eyes fell on The smile on his face did not change on Leo's body, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

　　Although the old man did not show it, Leo felt that the old man should have seen his psionic identity.

"I'm here today to have something to ask you to help, but also to help yourself." Anne didn't seem polite, went straight to the subject as soon as she came up, and told Leo that they were going to accuse Duke Dewen of using imine gas. come out.

　　Although the old man tried to hide it, he could still see the strong hatred flashing in his eyes when the name Duke of Dewen appeared.

　　However, the old man did not make a decision immediately because of his hatred. Instead, he thought very calmly for a while, and then asked in a low, hoarse voice: "What do you need me to do?"

　　Anni made her own request and said: "An introductory letter to the embassy of the Kingdom of England, in addition, you need your newspaper to support it if necessary."

　　 "You are really not afraid to trouble me." The old man smiled bitterly and said: "A letter of introduction is nothing but you asked me to target Duke of Devin in the newspaper. This is not good."

　　Ann frowned and said, "Are you still afraid of Duke Devin?"

"You don't have to excite me so much, you should know that it's useless to me." The old man said quietly: "I sent someone to assassinate him fifty-seven times before and after, and even one time intentionally showed his identity if I was really afraid of him. , It won't..."

　　Ann opened the old man's scars mercilessly and said, "You intentionally indicated that you want to lead him here and die with him. This does not mean you are not afraid of him."

　　 The old man fell silent and did not speak.

　　 "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that." Annie felt that her words were a little heavy, and apologized.

"No, you are right, I thought that way." The old man shook his head, and then said very seriously: "The reason why I can't attack Duke of Devin in the newspaper is mainly because of another thing, Louis IX. Died a while ago."

　　Annie was stunned when she heard the news, but quickly responded, saying, "Why is there no news from the outside world?"

"Louis IX did not announce the crown prince before his death." The old man said in a deep voice: "There are three people who are eligible to inherit the throne. Duke of Devin is one of them. If I let the newspaper attack Duke of Devin at this time, it would be equal to Involved in the royal battle, no matter what the result is, the successor will not let my newspaper continue to exist. If I am alone, it will be fine, but there are thousands of employees in the newspaper, and the people who rely on the newspaper to eat are even more There are hundreds of thousands of people. If the newspaper had an accident, their livelihood would be over. I can’t be so selfish."

　　 "Sorry, I was a little too much." Annie said apologetically when she heard the old man's reason.

The old man did not blame Annie, and said with a smile: "However, you don't care, although my newspaper can't carry out any orientation report, but there are other ways to achieve the same effect, and I don't even need me to come forward." said Then, he looked at Leo and said, "I want to talk to this gentleman alone. This is probably the purpose you brought him to, right?"

　　Annie smiled, turned around, gestured to Leo, then walked out of the garden alone and returned to the room.

　　The old man said to Leo: "Can I take this old man to sit by the lake?"

Leo nodded and was about to step forward to push the wheelchair, but he was rejected by the old man shaking his head. I saw that he inserted his mechanical right arm into a small device next to it, followed the steam engine to start running, input power, and his left hand Put it on the joystick to control the wheelchair to move forward.

　　 Soon they came to a lawn on the edge of Xiaxue Lake, and the old man listened to the wheelchair.

　　 At this time, the maid came over with a blanket, covered the body of the old man, and then walked aside to stand quietly.

　　 "Are you a wizard?" The old man asked silently, and suddenly looked forward to Leo.

　　 Leo was stunned, thinking that the old man might have seen through his psionic identity, and the wizards and psionicists in this world seemed to have some things in common, so he also realized that the old man might have misunderstood his identity.

Although many of Leo’s psionic skills can create the illusion of wizard-like abilities, it is not a problem to deceive the old man in front of him, but he did not deceive the old man in the end. After all, it is not difficult to feel the old man from the conversation just now. The character is worthy of respect.

　　So, Leo shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, I'm not a wizard."

The old man sighed slightly, as if he was talking to Leo Xu, and he was talking to himself, saying, "When I was very young, I saw a real wizard, he was a member of the tower, and I watched him use His magic made the flood that flooded the entire valley recede and rescued a villager, so I always wanted to see a real wizard again, but unfortunately I never did."

　　 "Is it difficult for wizards to meet?" Leo questioned: "I heard that there is a wizard hidden in the cage city, and I also use cage people to do experiments."

"That's not a wizard. It's just some self-righteous guys. They are far from the real wizard. Only the tower wizard is the real wizard." The old man was a little ruddy because of his excitement, and his breath was quick, and the maid immediately went up. Before, the purple medicine tube of his junior wriggled a little, and injected a little medicine into his body, only to let him over.

　　 "Sorry, the old one is sick." The old man smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Sometimes, I really think it would be better to replace all my body with a mechanical one and only keep the head."

　　 "Absolutely not, you will only be more painful." Leo said incomparably.

　　 He is so sure because he has seen countless transforming people whose bodies have all been replaced by machinery in the Earth Federation. The misalignment of his own cognition is either crazy or suicide, and none of them has a good ending.

　　 Hearing Leo’s affirmative response, the old man was a little surprised. He looked at Leo and felt that the other party didn’t seem to speak casually.

　　 Leo did not intend to get entangled in the issue of mechanical transformation, and even the Earth Federation could not discuss a right or wrong on this issue. So he dismissed the topic and asked, "You mentioned the high tower just now. I have heard the name "high tower" more than once before. Isn't the wizard of the high tower different from other wizards?"

Mentioning his favorite topic, the old man’s attention naturally attracted the past and said, "Of course it is different. Other so-called wizards are just some garbage collectors. They pick up those things that the real wizard does not want and treat them as treasures. Actually They and garbage have become garbage after a long time. The wizard of the tower is the one who really masters the mysterious knowledge. It is said that some of them can even talk directly with the mysterious and unpredictable gods and draw the knowledge and mysteries of the universe from the gods. ."

　　When the old man mentioned the mysterious god, Leo thought of the mysterious existence of the giant black shadow, the golden deer, the mother of the nests, and the lord of turbidity and light spirit. The tower sorcerer was able to talk directly with these mysterious beings, which made him feel that there might be a method in the tower sorcerer that would strengthen the willpower to be immune to all influences~www.wuxiahere.com~ So he couldn't help asking: "How can I find the Wizard of the Tower?"

"Haha! I also want to find the high tower wizard, but I haven't found them for so many years." The old man smiled and said, "The last time the high tower wizard appeared was seventy-three years ago, which is what I saw The time I arrived, there were no more rumors of towering wizards."

　　 "Is the last tower wizard who appeared in the tower wizard Wilderness Wizard Samuel Dunbar?" Leo asked again.

　　 "You have heard of him too!" Hearing this familiar name, the old man showed a surprised look and looked at Leo.

"I have a wizard note from his early years on my body." Leo said, taking the box from his backpack, taking out the wilderness wizard note inside, and handing it to the expecting old man, and said: " I can’t understand the text above, so I don’t know what it is."

"Of course you can't understand the above text. This is the Gamorian language, an ancient language that has been lost for a long time. It is not in the ancient Velun language." The old man took the notes and looked carefully. Leo Did not bother on the side.

The old man didn’t read it all, just turned the previous pages of knowledge, closed the note, and returned it to Leo. He was somewhat disappointed and said, “You’re right, this note should be his early years’ notes. He is no different from other so-called wizards. There are some wrong ideas in it. If you want to learn, I suggest you just make a reference. It must be considered that this is the true power of the wizard."

　　 "But I don't know Gamorei." Leo took the note, put it back in the box, and said.

　　 "I can teach you, do you want to learn?" the old man asked slightly expectantly.
