The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 122 The Trip to Nine Golden Oak Street

After Leo proposed the marching strategy of double-headed marching, the old man Rembrandt seemed to lose interest in continuing to talk about current affairs, and did not mention the bet anymore. He drove his wheelchair and left the study room, and returned with a box after a while study, and handed the box to Leo.

"I have calculated that tomorrow night is the brightest night of the year. If the accident at No. 9 Golden Oak Street is really related to the moon, then it will definitely happen again tomorrow night." The old man became very serious at this time , pointing to the box in Leo's hand, and said: "Inside this box is a strange object that I asked someone to make based on the root of the symbol Turing on the Silver Moon Tower. I hope it can be useful to you."

Leo opened the box and took out a very simple-looking stone bracelet. On the bracelet, one could see a Turing radical composed of nine basic radicals. Soon the sub-brain system analyzed the Turing radical. The general meaning of the root is to receive information and guide the location.

After holding the stone bracelet in his hand, he immediately felt the strong spiritual energy transmitted from the bracelet. Although this spiritual energy was not the most powerful among the other spiritual energy he felt, it was the purest. Aunt Hannah in the Tower and Dean Wenger in the Stone Palace must be pure and pure, giving him a feeling of feeling the breath of nature.

"Is this made by a wizard?" Leo asked, and added, "An ancient wizard?"

"No." The old man shook his head and said, "This is a strange item made by a wilderness shaman in the Mozambique continent."

Shamans can be said to be the oldest psychics in the world of Velen. They take nature and everything as the source of their beliefs. They are the predecessors of many Orthodox churches in the Orthodox Holy See. It is just that the shamans as the predecessors have become the gods of the church one by one following the origin of their beliefs. The shaman also gradually disappeared, until now it has almost become a legendary existence like the ancient wizard. Only in some wild areas not touched by human footprints on the mainland of Mozambique, there is still a trace of shamanism.

Thinking that a shaman who could make something similar to a wizard appeared in Miria City at this time, Leo couldn't help but wonder, so he asked, "Did he also come for No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

The old man didn't hide anything, nodded, and said, "He feels that his life is about to end, so he hopes to do something meaningful before he dies, such as finding out the secrets in No. 9 Golden Oak Street."

Leo was noncommittal about what the shaman did, but he just put the stone bracelet on his hand. The moment he put the bracelet on his hand, he suddenly felt a sense of the location of the Silver Moon Tower, even It can also sense the position of other similar bracelets.

Leo immediately took off the bracelet, frowned, turned to the old man, and said, "Why did he make so many bracelets?"

The old man knew very well that Leo would have this reaction, and said with a smile: "He felt that one more person would give him more power to find out the truth, so he continued to make more than 30 bracelets throughout his life, all of which were given to Mi Li. All the people from the dark world in Yacheng who are coming towards No. 9 Golden Oak Street."

"This is simply nonsense!" Leo threw the stone bracelet in his hand on the table casually, and said: "Since we can sense the beacon of the Silver Moon Tower, the Silver Moon Tower can also sense our location, if... ..."

"You think too much. The people in Silver Moon Tower wish someone could test whether the symbol Turing root of Silver Moon Tower is effective for him, and the more people, the better." The old man said with a smile: "These bracelets have already been made. It's been a whole night, if Silver Moon Pagoda really wanted to do something, it would have done it long ago, since there is no response from there, it means that the existence of these bracelets is tacitly accepted."

Although what the old man said made sense, Leo didn't pick up the stone bracelet again, because he felt that things should not be as simple as the old man said, and he believed in his intuition more than the old man's experience and judgment .

Afterwards, the old man didn't bother Leo's reading anymore, and Leo also took advantage of this time to quickly replenish the subbrain database, and spent another day and night replenishing more than 2,000 common-sense books.

During this period of time, Annie came to him once and told him that Nelson and the three of them had been sent away. As for how they were sent away, Leo did not ask. It is a very simple matter for the Lan Empire to send a few people back to the Kingdom of England.

During the daytime of the second day, Leo scanned more than a hundred books related to occultism while he still had time, and then went to the black market to replenish some special bullets. He tried his best not to use the special bullets he added before, and he kept accumulating them, and now there are nearly 2,000 bullets, and he has a faint feeling that these bullets may not be enough for this trip to No. 9 Golden Oak Street.

Just as the sun was setting, Leo packed his bags. He didn't intend to keep his things, and he took everything with him.

The old man Rembrandt watched Leo packing his things, his face was a little gloomy, he wanted to say something several times, but he didn't say it, until Leo was about to leave, he couldn't help but said: "Actually, you don't have to Then go to No. 9 Golden Oak Street, we can change a transaction agreement."

Leo stood at the door for a while, turned back to the old man Rembrandt and said with a smile: "I am very curious about No. 9 Golden Oak Street. Your transaction is just the cause, and it has nothing to do with your transaction now. I just want to go."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the villa without waiting for the old man to say anything else. The old man was speechless for a long time as he watched Leo disappear at the door. Finally, he sighed, controlled the wheelchair, turned and returned to the study.

Vaschi, who followed the old man to the study, looked at the old man's gloomy expression, and said, "I need him..."

"No need! Young eagles are meant to fly." The old man sighed softly, then turned to Vaschi and asked, "Do you think he resembles Joey?"

"It's not like!" Vaschi immediately replied, but after the answer, she was silent for a while, as if hesitating whether her words were correct, but in the end she shook her head, convincing herself, and said, "It's not like at all."

"It seems that they are still very similar." Vaschi's expression made the old man affirm his thoughts.

Seeing the old man misinterpreting her words, Vaschi couldn't help but stare at the old man, but in the end he didn't change the old man's opinion.

After sitting for a while, the old man gradually recovered from his gloomy mood, and suddenly said to Vaschi: "How about we go to Nobiland, Sunshine Beach, it should be much more comfortable than here."

When Vaschi heard what the old man said, she turned around and went back to her room to pack her things without even thinking about it.

Just as the old man Rembrandt and Vaschi were discussing to leave this place of right and wrong and go to a warm place for vacation, Leo, who was still concerned by the two just a moment ago, just walked out of the villa area. At this time, a long-awaited car The carriage drove up in front of him and stopped.

"Get in the carriage." Sylvia's voice came from the carriage.

Leo was also polite, opened the car door and walked up, only to see Sylvia and Emily sitting in the carriage, compared to the obvious worried look on Emily's face, Sylvia looked It's quite plain, but the eyes that look at Leo always have such a sense of complaint.

After the carriage drove for a certain distance, Sylvia suddenly took out a box from her body and handed it to Leo, saying, "Maybe you can use this."

Leo took the box, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help being stunned. It turned out that the thing in the box was the stone bracelet he gave up yesterday.

"Thank you!" He closed the box again, did not return the box to Sylvia, but put it in the backpack, and simply thanked her.

Seeing that Leo didn't even ask about the function of the bracelet, Sylvia knew that Leo must already have such a bracelet, her face immediately turned red, she turned her head to look outside the car and said nothing.

"Mr. Dodd, do you have to go to such a dangerous place?" Emily obviously knew about No. 9 Golden Oak Street from Sylvia, so she was very worried about Leo's trip and tried to dissuade Leo's decision.

Leo didn't answer Emily's words, but deliberately changed the subject, saying: "How is your investigation going?"

"Still investigating, not very clear, but Xi Ni is helping me." Emily was naturally led astray by Leo, talking about her investigation in the past two days.

Leo listened carefully and didn't interrupt to give any suggestions, even if he found some clues, he didn't say anything, because he could feel that Emily was getting familiar with some observations and analyzes that he didn't have in the past through investigating his own case, etc. ability.

The carriage drove very fast. Although there were some checkpoints on the road, but with Sylvia's certificate opening the way, the road was unimpeded, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Upper Quarter Lake area in the suburbs.

Due to the turbulent situation, the dignitaries who originally lived in the urban area were transferred to the villas in the lake area, and many bodyguards and security guards were hired to take care of the security of the villas. In addition, several huge airships were docked in the courtyards of some villas. It seems that once something happens, the owner of the villa will leave from the air in an airship.

The carriage did not drive to No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but stopped a long way away, because No. 9 Golden Oak Street had a bad reputation, the road leading there had been dug up, and trees were replanted. The carriage couldn't get in at all.

"Be careful." Sylvia suddenly reminded Leo when he was about to get off the car.

Leo nodded slightly, waved to Emily who was about to say something, and then got out of the car without looking back, and walked into the forest leading to No. 9 Golden Oak Street.

"What a cruel guy!" Seeing that Leo didn't say anything, and didn't even look back, Sylvia curled her lips and complained.

When Sylvia spoke ill of Leo, Emily immediately defended Leo, saying, "I think he didn't say anything because he was afraid that we would be worried."

"Hmph!" Sylvia neither refuted nor agreed, but just snorted coldly, then knocked on the carriage panel behind her, gave an order, and drove back into the city.

After entering the forest, Leo released his mental net without hesitation, and soon his mental net captured a few lurkers who were hiding in the forest and observing the coming people. These lurkers more or less had Some psychic reactions should be people from a certain force in the dark world.

Before, Leo always thought that the dark world in this world only had a few big organizations and powers such as the Heterogenetic Society, the Night Watchman, and the Familia, but in fact, there were many organizations and forces in the dark world. It's just that most of the organizations in the dark world only have a little bit of occultism. Unlike other organizations, most of the members have a good understanding of the theories of the mystical world, and even have some magical powers.

Although these organizations are not popular in the eyes of dark world organizations such as the Night Watchman and Familia, they also hope to become that kind of big organization, so after the news of No. 9 on Golden Oak Street began to spread, they seemed to join in the fun Some people were sent over to see if they could check for leaks. However, the reputation of No. 9 Golden Oak Street is too great, so that those sent here dare not approach the villa. Something like the exploration of Nine Street.

Leo's arrival immediately attracted the attention of these lurkers, but they didn't have the guts to go up to greet Leo. Instead, they changed a hiding place and avoided Leo's route. Judging from the reactions of these people, Obviously, the people who passed by here before left some bad memories for them.

After walking through a section of dense woods, Leo entered the range of the villa at No. 9 Golden Oak Street. This area is easy to identify, because not only no trees grow here, but even a single grass does not grow here. There is no breath of life.

When Leo entered this area, he immediately encountered energy like interfering energy stance, which had a great impact on his mental net, making him have to withdraw his spiritual net and activate his spiritual vision skill instead.

However, when Leo's eyes entered the state of spiritual vision, the sight in his eyes made him stand still immediately, because he found that under the gaze of his spiritual vision, the gardens and wastelands in the entire villa area were covered with flowers and grass, which was gloomy. The spire building is covered with ivy and other plants, and in the air above the building, a vortex that looks like a black hole envelops the entire building.

"Did you see it?" At this moment, a thin voice suddenly came from behind Leo.

Leo was startled, he found that he didn't even notice that someone was so close, but he didn't show any abnormal expression on his face, he turned off his spiritual vision skill, and looked back behind him.

I saw a short dwarf standing behind him. This dwarf was wearing a piece of clothing made of plant fibers, with a pair of hats made of animal horns on his head, and holding a withered log in his hand. . Although the dwarf looked very young, Leo felt that the other party's actual age should be very old.

"Shaman of the wasteland?" Leo asked tentatively when he saw a person's information immediately appeared in the dwarf's mind.
