The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 293: The magnificent and magnificent Governor

Just as Doris and other elegant ladies’ churches set out to deal with the crisis they are facing now, outside the window of Belice’s office, Leo seemed to merge into a shadow and merged into the shadow of the surrounding buildings. Then it traversed and moved in the shadow at a very fast speed, and returned to the city above the pier in a moment.

Feeling the interference and pressure of the psionic energy formed by the Turing Magic Circle in the city, Leo had to wear out from the shadow beside a small apartment building on the edge of the city, quickly dispelling the witchcraft formed by the power of the shadow, and the body also from A dark mass turned back to normal human form.

However, Leo returned to normal looks extremely pale and ugly, he did not go out from the shadow of the wall immediately, but leaned on the wall of the apartment building for a while, as if recovering from physical discomfort.

This is the first time Leo has used shadow jump as a shadow witchcraft for a long distance. Because he had a small-scale moving experience when he was on the ship, so this time it was very smooth, but he is also in the process of casting. And found some problems.

For example, when casting shadow transitions over long distances, the power of the shadows consumed will also be doubled. From the civilian area of ​​the dock to the upper city for such a short distance, it has consumed nearly a third of his shadow power. If he continues to perform the shadow jump, at most a distance of about two hundred meters, the power of the shadow in his body will be completely consumed. Therefore, shadow jump is only suitable for small-scale movement and evasion during combat. Although intermittent casting is more troublesome, it will not cause too much consumption burden on the power of shadow.

In addition to this, unlike the shadow avatar walking in the shadow, Leo now lets the body directly walk in the shadow, which is a great burden on the body, even with his powerful body that has evolved several times now. Unable to withstand the pressure caused by the shadows, just after witchcraft was lifted, the body felt a sense of extreme fatigue and dizziness. It seemed that after carrying the steel for a whole day, it was smashed a hundred times with an iron rod. You can’t even stand steadily. You can only lean on the wall to support your body from falling down.

The last problem is that the shadow travel is easily disturbed by external forces. Just as he just entered the city just now, he was affected by the Turing magic circle all over the city. Even if this Turing magic circle does not work, only some psionic energy remains, However, he cannot forcibly cross the shadows of urban buildings covered by psionic energy under the interference of this psionic energy, and can only move near the edge cliffs, where it is not affected by the psionic energy.

After about five or six minutes, Leo's body returned to normal. Although the fatigue of the body still exists, the dizziness of the head has disappeared, and it does not affect ordinary movements.

After returning to normal, Leo immediately evaluated the pros and cons, value, and side effects of Shadow Witchcraft in his mind. In the end, he judged that if he wanted to use Shadow Witchcraft without hindrance, he would always be affected unless his psionic level and physical evolution reached the level of the eighth-level psionicist.

"It seems that further improvement is needed." Leo thought to himself, although this witchcraft is not suitable for long-distance movement, it moves smoothly in a small area, and the consumption of shadow power is very small, as long as the casting speed Can be faster, just like a demon hunter's seal can be cast with a gesture, then this witchcraft will play an extraordinary role in combat.

After feeling that his body recovered almost, Leo came out from the shadow of the apartment building. At this time, the sky was dark. Only a gorgeous sunset can be seen in the sky in the distance. it's dark.

At this time, a city official took a bunch of keys and opened the street lamp shades one by one, lit a wood-filled brazier with a special device, and received some dim light.

Although because of the technical support of the General Chamber of Commerce, most of the buildings in the city of Vinaya are used with electric lights, but because there are only two thermal power stations in the city, the power generated by these two power stations is not enough to support everyone in the city. Electricity is used, so the city street lights still use the old brazier street lights.

Although the style of the brazier street lamp is very old, because of the use of special wood, the fire is very large and very bright, which can fully illuminate the surrounding area, and the dark areas are even darker.

After Leo came out of the shadow of the wall, he did not walk on the street under the light, but walked along the shadow of the edge to the urban area managed by the Governor of the French Empire.

Originally he was going to call a carriage, but what surprised him was that he went out for a long distance, and he never saw the carriage walking on the road. Afterwards, he asked a passerby before he realized that the town of Venaya would stop at night. With rickshaws, the only thing you can take is a fixed-track steam bus.

It's just that in the evening, it's time for workers and employees such as docks, factories, and shops to leave work. At this time, the steam bus is almost full. Even on the railing outside the car, there are some people who are unwilling to walk, which has become A view of the port of Vinaya.

The urban area controlled by the French Empire is located on the other side of the city, near another inland wharf. Compared with the control areas of the Kingdom of England and the United Kingdom, the urban area controlled by the French Empire is quite regular.

The buildings here are all kind of unique Française castle buildings, using blocks of specially polished stone, spires, small windows, iron doors, etc. All features are all imitating those castles that are spread all over the French mountains. Although this kind of castle building looks a bit rigid and ugly, it is very practical. It can not only withstand the storms that appear from time to time, but also be able to transform any residential house into a bunker in the event of a national conflict. The buildings that are serialized together can easily form a line of defense to protect the governor's house in the center of the city.

Because there are few shops in this urban area, not many people are willing to hang out here, the streets are deserted, and from time to time policemen from the French Empire Management Association patrol. Unlike the police in the other two urban areas, they wear different cloth uniforms. The police here are all wearing chest plates and steel helmets that are more practically decorated. Although they look majestic, they really have to encounter things. Failure to catch up with criminals is a problem.

In addition to the small number of people on the street, the police here also investigated the strangers on the street very seriously. Leo was investigated by the patrolling police four times after entering the French Empire's controlled city. In order to avoid trouble for the first time, Leo patiently compiled a lie explaining his purpose of coming here, but then he simply used Axial Seal to solve these policemen until the city where the French nobles lived. This kind of temporary investigation document did not happen again.

After entering this city, Leo found that the Turing Magic Circle on the ground was not arranged in this city. Obviously someone in the French Empire prevented this. However, this is good news for Leo. There is no psionic influence of the magic circle. His spiritual network can be displayed smoothly to check the situation of this city.

Although, in the residence of the noble area, some people will arrange some items that interfere with psionic powers, in order to prevent someone from prying with extraordinary powers, Leo did not intend to use the spirit net to spy on the situation of the noble residence, he just used the spirit net to find Wildcats in this city.

From the conversation between Doris and her men, Leo was easy to hear. Another elegant lady sect lurking in the city did not have a good relationship with her sect, and depending on the situation, the sect seemed to have framed Dory. The suspicion of Silk's elegant Taoism.

Although it sounds like the other party is only one person, since the other party will go to the two blood snakes of the Holy Blood Society and Doris's sect, it is obviously a plot, so it should not be a lone wolf.

Now Leo is about to hear the wild cats inhabiting this city, find the shrine or altar of the elegant lady, just like Doris, find the elegant lady believer who believes in the thief.

Leo took almost no time, and quickly found a gathering place for wild cats, and was lucky to find a person who fed these wild cats. This man is dressed as a servant, and looks very ordinary, but it is not difficult to see from the light and light posture of this person when he walks. He should have experienced very strict thief training, and he quickly performed a religious ceremony after feeding the cat. , Revealing the identity of his elegant lady believer.

Leo did not immediately seize this person, because he can see from his behavior that this person is not a noble, but a lower-level man who has been entangled in the bottom all the year round. This man and Doris described the believer in thieves The knights and nobles of Tao do not match

So, he chose to follow behind this person to see where the person's final destination was.

After feeding the wild cat in one place, the man moved to another wild cat gathering place to continue the behavior of feeding the cat.

After repeatedly feeding seven or eight wild cats, the man almost finished feeding all the wild cats in the urban area. This ended the cat feeding operation and walked to a wooden house leaning on the edge of the cliff.

After putting the things in his hand into the wooden house, he saw him walking along a small path on the edge of the cliff, and came to the back door of a gorgeous manor. He greeted the people guarding the back door and walked straight into the manor. Inside.

"Governor's Palace?" Almost no more guessing, Leo can easily determine the ownership of this manor from the area and building of this magnificent manor in front of him.

Unlike the other two urban districts, the Government House was built in a low-key manner. The Government House of the French Empire in the Port of Vinaya is very gorgeous. The entire governor’s palace occupies half of the control area of ​​the French Empire. It has a separate garden, an artificial lake that can be used for boating, and even a small forest has been specially opened to stock some wild animals for hunting during leisure. The required prey allows people living here to enjoy hunting even without leaving the port city of Vinaya.

The construction materials used in the entire Doge’s Palace are all shipped from the quarry of the French Empire. The architectural design of the Doge’s Palace completely imitates the Jiying Hall of the Royal Palace of the French Royal Palace. All the sculptures inside and outside the building are by the master. The paintings hung in the Governor's Mansion are even more famous.

The reason why the French Empire spent such a large amount of money to build the governor's palace in the port of Vinaya was to tell the merchants from all over the world that the French empire was still the first land-based power through the magnificence and style of the governor's palace. , There is still a strong strength, has not declined.

As everyone knows, this forced behavior is a manifestation of guilty conscience, so that merchants around the world feel that the French Empire is like a twilight old lion who can roar twice. The new male lion replaced it.

Although the businessmen from all over the world laughed at the childish behavior of the French Empire in the heart, but they also have to admit that the French Empire still has enough strength to fight against any powerful country in the world. The banquet invitation of the Government of the Blue Empire in the Port of Wienerya is also the default status symbol of these merchants.

In the underground market in Port of Vinaya, an ordinary Governor’s Palace banquet invitation is priced at a high of 100,000 Wiener, and a festive banquet invitation is more than one million Wiener, and it is still valuable. city.

Right now, the Governor's Mansion is holding a birthday party banquet.

As one of the most important festivals in the French Empire, the birthday is a festival created to commemorate the birth of the cavalier king. The festival will last a total of three days, representing the three-day process from the childbirth to the birth of the cavalier king. Although people in the medical school believe that a normal person can never give birth for three consecutive days, regardless of physical strength or psychological support for such a long time, the French Empire believes that this just shows that the mother of the cavalier king is not an ordinary person~www .lightnovelpub.net~ is an incarnation of some kind of god, so the cavalier king is also a descendant of the god.

Perhaps in order to give everyone a deep impression that the cavalier king is a goddess, there are always dramas about the birth process of the cavalier king on every birthday, and those royal householders of the French royal family will add a lot of myths to the drama, such as Before the birth of the knight king, the gods visited the offerings one by one, showing the honorable status of the knight king, and after the knight king was born, the stars shining in the sky immediately dimmed to show that the knight king's brilliance was better than the stars.

At this moment, the music from the Governor’s Palace Garden shows that the drama about the birth of the Knight King is being held in the Governor’s Palace Garden. Most of the people in the Governor’s Palace are concentrated in the garden, and the guards are mostly in the garden to protect the Governor and invite them. Guests, and the defense in other parts of the Governor’s Mansion has been relaxed.

Leo did not cast a shadow jump and entered the governor’s palace, but found a suitable place to sit outside the wall of the governor’s palace, and then cast a shadow witchcraft to create a shadow-like shadow avatar and put his mind into the avatar. Inside, he got into the governor's palace through the shadow.

It is strange that Leo is ready to withstand the attack of the psionic device. After entering the mansion of the governor’s mansion, he unexpectedly found that no psionic interference device was installed in the governor’s mansion, that is, his witch The technique will not be adversely affected here.
