The door of the hunter's cabin was not locked, only a latch was inserted. Leo opened the door and walked in. He glanced around the house and found the fireplace and some dry firewood for making a fire.

After lighting the fireplace, he turned around and was about to close the door when he saw some white shadows shaking in the forest outside the cabin.

"What a bunch of people who don't care about life and death!" Seeing these white figures shaking in the distance but not daring to get close, Leo sneered and ignored them. He closed the door and started looking for the clothes he needed in the room.

These white shadows are the dream spirits he encountered just now. Their shapes are like ghosts in legends. They usually hide in the darkness of the forest. Once someone breaks into their trap, they will come out at the same time to attack the intruder.

The intruder attacks.

Their attacks are all mental attacks, which can produce extremely strong spiritual waves, interfere with ordinary people's brains, and cause people to produce extremely realistic mental hallucinations. Most of these hallucinations are the most terrifying things in the hearts of the attacked. Once the hallucination occurs,

If you are killed in a dream, you will also die in reality. Therefore, under the siege of such a group of dream spirits, ordinary people have a very low chance of survival.

It's a pity that the person attacked by these dream spirits was Leo. Even Leo was caught in the sudden attack. He saw what he thought was the most terrifying scene in his heart, but his deputy brain system in an absolutely rational state easily exposed it.

The illusion caused him to escape the influence of the illusion in an instant, and he directly killed a dozen of these dream spirits, and the rest were so scared that they fled in all directions.

However, these dream spirits seemed to have a strong desire for revenge. After escaping, they quickly gathered together and followed Leo from a distance, looking for opportunities to strike, until now.

Because he already knew the strength and weakness of these dream spirits, Leo didn't care about these dream spirits following him.

On the contrary, because of the existence of these dream spirits, other dream spirits encountered by Leo on the road were exposed before he approached, and they would not even attack Leo actively. Instead, they would attack these following dream spirits, causing him to later

The road has been much easier.

After searching the cabin, Leo quickly found several sets of clothing. These clothes were all ancient hunting jackets, and they were one size smaller than his body shape, even if he did not wear any inner clothing.

, even if you are naked, it would be difficult to put these coats on your body.

In addition, Leo also found several sets of weapons in the house. The reason why I say several sets is because the weapons are stored in sets. They are basically two cold weapons similar to flange swords, paired with a blade.

A crossbow and a bag of silver-white gravel.

Leo wasn't quite sure what this bag of gravel was, but he could feel a spiritual energy from the gravel, and the wavelength composition of this spiritual energy was very similar to the spiritual energy field composed of the meshes on the eaves outside the door.

It should also be an item used to dispel dream spirits.

In addition, there are some pills and ointments in the cabinet where the weapons are stored. Except for one or two medicines that are somewhat similar to the ordinary healing medicines recorded in medical school books, most of the others are very powerful refreshing medicines.

Just smelling the smell of these drugs can make people's minds extremely clear.

According to Leo's guess, these drugs should be mainly used to deal with the white shadow dream spirits outside, because after using these drugs, the mind becomes clear and the illusions produced against the spirit lose their effect.

In addition to some supplies such as clothing and weapons, there are also several books in the room. It seems that these books should have been placed here by the hunter team that came here to supply supplies before. Unfortunately, Leo does not have the wizard who can read the handwriting clearly.

It's a strange thing, so I can only look forward to it and sigh.

Not being able to find a single useful item in the house, Leo had to take out the animal skin map again and prepare to find the location of the next supply point.

However, at this time, a bit of silver-white gravel that he had just touched on his fingers accidentally fell on the animal skin, and the animal skin was immediately illuminated by a faint light.

Because it was next to the fireplace, this flash of faint light was obscured by the firelight emanating from the fireplace. Leo did not notice it, but his accessory brain system recorded this change, and in

A prompt screen formed in his eyes.

Seeing the prompt screen given by the accessory brain system, Leo realized that the silver-white gravel just seemed to cause some kind of reaction on the animal skin map.

For this reason, Leo quickly picked up a bag containing silver-white gravel, picked up some gravel with his fingers, and sprinkled it on the animal skin. This time, the light on the animal skin was a little stronger and lasted longer.

But he still couldn't understand what was going on.

"Just pour it all on top!" Leo thought for a moment, then poured the entire bag of silver-white gravel onto the animal hide.

In an instant, an effect similar to a flash bomb was produced on the animal skin, bursting out with a burst of intense light, and the light did not disappear like the previous weak light, but spread outward like sunlight, passing through in the blink of an eye.

After passing the cabin, it covered a range of several hundred meters centered on the cabin.

Leo's sight could not penetrate the cabin to see the situation outside, and his mental network was also interfered by the spiritual power contained in the light and could not perceive the outside normally, but his ears could clearly hear some dreams.

The scream of the spirit before death.

After the psychic light disappeared, Leo used his spiritual net to sense the situation outside and found that all the previously entangled dream spirits had disappeared, as if they had been purified by the light.

In order to confirm, Leo walked out of the hut, went outside, looked around, and found a lot of high-energy substances on the ground that should be the remnants of dream spirits.

"Who are you?" Leo couldn't help but muttered in his heart after looking at the dozens of high-energy substances in his hand, and then at the animal skin map that had been restored to its original state.

Just when Leo was surprised and confused about the origin of the animal skin, at the top of the tallest and largest wizard tower in the center of Silver Moon City in Crescent Moon Lake, the sudden movement of an ancient wizard artifact caused the silver moon to tremble.

Attention from the top management of Moon City.

The Black Tower at the center of Silvermoon City is the center of the entire Silvermoon City and even the entire world. It is also the tallest building in the entire world. It is 373 meters high and has 57 floors inside. It is the headquarters of the early Wizards Association.

The headquarters is located.

Except for the chiefs of the association, no one knows who built this black tower and what its purpose is. They just know that this black tower was already standing here before the emergence of Silver Moon City. There is also a rumor that the Wizards Association

Rather than being the owner of the black tower, the chief is more appropriately called the caretaker. As for what he is guarding, there is no final conclusion.

However, as the chiefs of the Wizards Association began to build their own wizard towers, the headquarters of the Wizards Association also moved from the Black Tower, and a Wizards Association area was re-opened in Silvermoon City, and the Black Tower was also transformed into

In public places such as public libraries and museums.

However, these public areas open to the public are only on floors below the 50th floor, while those above the 50th floor are still directly controlled by the Wizards Association.

In the early days, the top eight floors of the Black Tower were converted into temporary residences for lower-level wizards. Later, due to the continuous expansion of the Wizards Association, the number of lower-level wizards increased dramatically. The Wizards Association had to rebuild a wizard residential area in the city to move these lower-level wizards.

Placed there, the top eight floors were vacant again.

Nowadays, the vacant eight floors have been rented out by the newly emerged mechanics associations in Ten Towns and Silver Moon City in recent decades. They have not only transformed the top eight floors into a mechanical research and manufacturing studio, but also

The top floor was transformed into a docking point for airships, and three steam elevators were installed that went straight to the bottom.

The airship docking point at the top of the Black Tower is not the ordinary lake area airship docking points in Ten Towns and Silver Moon City. The airship at this docking point is specially responsible for important places such as the Gravekeeper's Hut, the Fog Area Guard Castle and the Night Watch Castle outside the lake area.

supplies replenishment.

Today is the first time this month that supplies have been replenished at various garrison points outside the Lake District. However, Silvermoon City attaches very little importance to this matter. As usual, the Wizards Association handed over this matter to the mechanical workshop and airship transportation.

The company is responsible, and they are more concerned about the ownership of the tenth chief wizard seat that has been vacant this time.

As in previous years, the Mechanical Studio and the Airship Transport Company each selected five people to be responsible for cargo inventory and airship maintenance. Belen was one of the five people in the Mechanical Studio.

Compared to other colleagues who had already worked in the Black Tower, Beren, who came to the Black Tower for the first time, was very curious about everything around him. After inspecting an airship that was about to set off, he was free.

He began to wander around the top of the black tower, touching here and bumping there.

For ordinary residents of Silvermoon City, the top of the Black Tower has always been the most mysterious place. There are many legends about the top of the Black Tower circulating in the city, including some downright absurd legends. For example, the secret to destroying the world is hidden in the Black Tower.

Waiting in the room on the top floor of the tower.

Although this rumor sounds ridiculous and no one would believe it, the strange thing is that this rumor has never disappeared in Silvermoon City.

Even if the headquarters of the Wizards Association was moved from the Black Tower, the Black Tower was handed over to the city council for management, and then the most secret top floor room was handed over to the Mechanical Studio, leaving many ordinary apprentices in the Mechanical Studio like Belen.

You can also go to the top of the Black Tower. This ridiculous rumor is still circulating in the city, affecting generations of ordinary people.

Belen was obviously one of the people who were affected. Others who were resting in the room were not surprised by Belen's behavior of rummaging around in the room. In fact, it was their first time in this room.

, and what he did was similar to Belen.

"If there really is a secret to destroying the world, those wizards would have discovered it long ago." One of the porters of the airship transportation company watched Beren doing what he had done before, and couldn't help but smile and said: "

What's more, the wizards emptied this place when they left, so if those secrets exist, they are probably among the things that were moved away."

"Those wizards have not all been evacuated." A mechanical engineer refuted the porter's words, pointed to the dome above the room, and said: "There is a big guy up there who cannot be moved away, so he can only stay here."

Everyone followed the mechanical engineer's fingers and looked up, only to see a mechanical sphere hanging on the dome. The entire sphere was composed of dozens of crisscrossed circular axes. There were a large number of exquisite details on the surfaces of these circular axes.

Patterns. However, due to rust, these patterns have been blurred, and the entire ball looks like it will fall apart at any time.

"Didn't your mechanical studio install this yourself after you took over this place?" A manager of the airship company asked with some confusion.

"Of course not." When everyone looked confused, the mechanical engineer who enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight explained: "According to records, this thing already existed when the Black Tower was built, but now

No one knows what the use of this thing is, and the relevant books and materials have been burned during the Black Tower Rebellion."

"Hey, man!" An engineer in the mechanical workshop suddenly reminded his colleagues, "There are some things that are not suitable to be said."

The Black Tower Rebellion is the biggest stain on the Wizards Association. This turmoil almost destroyed the Wizards Association, Silvermoon City and the Ten Towns. The United Council has not recovered to this day, and the Night's Watch is still independent of the United Council.

Besides, this turmoil that happened hundreds of years ago is a taboo topic even in Silvermoon City today.

The mechanical engineer curled his lips disapprovingly of his colleague's caution. Then he watched Belen move the ladder directly below the spherical body. It seemed that he planned to get closer to see the spherical body, and then said: "This

There’s nothing fancy about the thing, it’s just that several vertical and horizontal axes are connected with bearings, and the axial direction can be changed through gear movement.”

Belen did not listen to his colleagues. He climbed up the ladder and got close to the rusty sphere to take a closer look. He asked, "If this sphere can rotate by itself, then what supplies power to the sphere?"

"Maybe it's some kind of ancient steam engine device. Didn't it mean that the Wizards Association moved a lot of things when they left?" A porter came forward, looked up at the strange ball, and said, "Maybe the steam engine that provides power

It was moved away at that time."

"No!" Beren shook his head and said: "There are no steam pipes up here. Even if there is a steam engine, steam power cannot be transmitted up here."

As he spoke, Belen took out a piece of rust-cleaning frosted cloth from his tool bag, placed it on a horizontal axis on the outermost edge of the sphere and rubbed it, wiping off the rust on it and revealing the pattern underneath.

Just when Belen was about to see clearly what the pattern on it looked like, all the vertical and horizontal bearings of the sphere suddenly shone with a burst of white light, and then began to rotate. Before anyone could react, all the vertical and horizontal bearings rotated together.
