"What's going on?" Seeing the driver arranged for him by his sponsor suddenly assassinate his new student, and then seeing his student knocking him down with a punch, Dio Browno was completely shocked by the sight before him.

Confused.

"I think your driver and bodyguard has been killed." Leo squatted down and turned the person he knocked unconscious over, and unbuttoned the other person's coat. Under the dress coat, he saw a piece of clothing that did not match the coat at all.

He was wearing a dock worker's uniform, and there was a lot of blood stains on his clothes.

"He..." The stunned Dio Browno didn't know what to say or how to react for a moment. He had been doing research in the academy all his life, and he had never encountered such a thing.

"Let's get out of here first." Leo saw some freight train porters coming from a distance for morning work, so he picked up the people on the ground, threw them into the carriage, and motioned to Dio Browno,

Sit in the driver's seat.

Leo has flown on land Titans, flown space fighter planes, and even once a mission required him to replace Unknown as the number one pilot of the Star Destroyer, responsible for controlling the space jump of the Star Destroyer, so he felt comfortable controlling this steam locomotive.

It shouldn't be difficult.

It was only after he sat in the driver's seat that he realized that the thing in front of him was a little different from what he expected. There was no holographic control system like that on the Star Destroyer, nor the neural connection system of the land Titan and the space fighter.

It's just a semicircular hollow decoration and three iron rods that look like some kind of mechanical device.

"Don't you know how to drive this thing?" Dio Browno, who was sitting in the passenger car at the back, couldn't help asking through the front window of the car when he saw Leo sitting in the driver's seat without making any movement.

"This is my first time seeing this thing." Leo smiled awkwardly.

When he entered the dream world, although the Velen world already had the prototype of a personal steam locomotive, it was only a test product and had not been made public. It was only an anecdote seen in newspapers, so Leo had never seen the real thing, let alone

No operating experience.

"That's right, this thing has only become popular in the past two years, and each trip requires a large amount of high-grade charcoal, so only a few rich people will buy this thing." Dio Browno said,

He put his head near the front window, looked at the situation on the driver's seat, and then pointed: "I have read a newspaper introducing this thing before. That thing that looks like a decoration should be called a steering wheel. It controls the direction of the car.

Yes, the other three iron rods seem to be the steam valve, the forward control lever and the stop control lever."

While Dio Browno was speaking, Leo also figured out the mechanical structure of the steam locomotive through the spiritual network. Then he put his hand on the steering wheel, which was more like a decoration, and then pushed it according to his understanding.

The iron rod opens the steam valve and pushes the forward lever.

The air outlet next to the car began to emit white steam, and the car began to vibrate, and then moved forward slowly.

Leo turned the steering wheel and turned the car around, heading towards the road where the car came from.

Although the road from Wuwan Town to Lyon Port has been repaired, it is still not very good. The main reason is that most valuable goods are transported by water with large carrying capacity and low price, so land transportation is not so important. Sometimes this road is only used by porters living in the port area to commute to and from get off work, so naturally it is not well repaired.

The car is not fast, it is equivalent to a normal person running. At this speed, it will take almost an hour to reach the port area of ​​Lyon Port.

Leo did not drive directly to the Port of Lyon, but turned at a fork in the road leading to the forest and drove into a relatively dense forest. Then he stopped the car, got up and walked outside the passenger compartment at the back.

.

At this time, Dio Browno had not yet recovered from what had just happened, and he still seemed at a loss. Leo, who opened the car door, suggested at the beginning: "Teacher, now we should find out why someone would assassinate you.

, otherwise, it might not be a good idea to go directly to the Port of Lyon to meet your sponsor friend."

"What should we do?" Hearing Leo's voice, Dio Browno asked as if he had a backbone.

Leo pointed at the assassin who was knocked unconscious by him and said, "Let's see if we can ask him something useful."

After saying that, Leo asked Dio Browno to stay in the car, then picked up the assassin and took him to a tree a little further away from the road. Then he tied the assassin to the tree with a rope, and then stretched out his hand and

He pressed a certain part of the opponent's neck.

The severe pain in his neck caused the still-drowsy assassin to wake up instantly and let out a scream. When he regained consciousness, he immediately understood his situation when he saw the scene around him.

Before the other party came to his senses completely, Leo raised his hand and used an Axis seal to control the other party's spirit, and then asked directly: "Why did you want to kill Dio Browno?"

The dazed assassin explained the reason without any difficulty, saying: "The blasphemer, he is the blasphemer."

Leo asked again: "The blasphemer? Which god did he blaspheme?"

The assassin murmured: "Not a god! It was Wakanha he blasphemed."

"Wakanha?" Leo was stunned for a moment, carefully searched for information in his mind, and said, "Is it the Wakanha civilization in the Mozan continent?"

"Wakanha!" The assassin suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Ancient immortal species, we are the golden clan that works side by side with the gods!"

"How many more do you have in Port Lyon..." Sensing that the other party was fighting for his control, Leo was ready to step up and ask for other useful information. However, before he could say anything, he realized that something was wrong with the assassin.

The assassin's body was seen trembling violently as if suffering from epilepsy, and then countless tiny tentacles were seen coming out of his mouth, eye sockets, nostrils, etc., and his eyes turned blood red.

Leo felt that there was a force pouring out of the opponent's body, so something unexpected happened. He immediately recited a witchcraft incantation, mobilized his body's spiritual energy, and quickly drew witchcraft runes in the air with his fingers.

After a burst of psychic energy, a blue flame was produced out of thin air, and under Leo's control, it instantly penetrated into the assassin's body.

Immediately afterwards, a blue flame came out of the opponent's body, turning the assassin into a ball of fire, and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Self-immolation is one of the witchcrafts improved by Leo. The biggest advantage of this witchcraft is that it can be cast quickly, the spell is hidden, and its effect is powerful. People who fall into this witchcraft will instantly produce a natural human body temperature of more than 7,000 degrees. The only

The disadvantage is that the spells are traceable and can be easily avoided by others.

This was also Leo's first time to use this improved witchcraft, so after the release was successful, he did not leave, but stood there to watch the final effect. After the assassin's body was completely burned to ashes, the flames did not spread to the side.

On the trees, it was because the spiritual energy was completely consumed and quickly extinguished.

Leo was satisfied with the effect of the witchcraft, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he discovered that there seemed to be something in the ashes. He bent down and fiddled with the ashes, and found a glass crystal ball inside. He didn't know why.

Due to high-temperature burning or other reasons, the surface and interior of the sphere were covered with cracks, and its true appearance could no longer be seen. But thinking of what happened to the assassin just now, Leo felt that this spherical glass crystal might be

is the reason.

Holding the last remnants of his body at this moment, Leo turned back to the steam locomotive. Dio Browno, who looked a little anxious, immediately got out of the car and saw that the assassin was not beside Leo. He was stunned, and then said anxiously

Asked: "What did you ask?"

"He is a Wakanha." Leo looked at Dio Browno, trying to see something useful from his face.

However, Dio Browno was completely confused. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered what Wakanha was, and said with confusion: "Are there actually Wakanha people? Weren't they killed by the Kingdom of Sigmar?

?If they seek revenge, they should go to the Kingdom of Sigmar. Why do they come here to kill someone like me who studies ancient civilizations?"

"I think it has something to do with the research you are planning to conduct now." Leo guessed: "He said you blasphemed his civilization."

"My research? Desecrated his civilization?" Dio Browno looked thoughtful, but soon thought of something, returned to the car, took out his backpack, and took out a notebook from the backpack

, opened it and took out several folded rubbing papers, then placed the papers on the ground and spread them out.

Leo also walked over and looked at the rubbing paper on the ground.

I saw that there were some Turing roots and patterns printed on these rubbing papers. The person responsible for the rubbings was very smart. The content of the rubbings was enough to attract people like Dio Browno, but it did not reveal too much.

The details are like a fish bait.

Dio Browno searched for a while on the rubbing paper, and soon found what he wanted. Pointing to one of the patterns that was only half-printed, he said: "It's really related to the Wakanha civilization. They should

Found a relic of the Wakanha civilization."

At this time, Leo also reviewed the information about the Wakanha civilization in his mind.

Although officials from various countries in the Velen world have never recognized the Wakanha civilization as an advanced civilization, they only believe that the Wakanha civilization is just a tribal civilization with a small-scale influence like the countless tribal civilizations on the Moissan continent.

However, scholars who are engaged in the study of ancient civilizations all believe that the Wakanha civilization is a very advanced civilization, even higher than all civilizations in the current world of Velen. All tribal civilizations in the Mozan continent should have originated from the Wakanha civilization.

For ordinary people in the world of Velen, the Wakanha civilization represents endless gold and countless wealth.

Books about the Wakanha civilization have always been best-sellers in various countries in Velen. From rigorous research reports to adventure novels focusing on the Wakanha civilization, they are all the most popular reading among ordinary people.

The reason why people like to read books about the Wakanha civilization so much is because they long for that era of great adventures and fantasize about the legend of getting rich that day.

The Wakanha civilization is a civilization centered on the ancient city of Wakanha. This civilization is somewhat similar to the Hannossa League. More than a hundred tribes, large and small, gathered around the Wakanha tribe and formed an alliance, forming a huge

Tribal nation.

However, this country does not have a complete administrative structure from top to bottom. All tribal alliances are very loose and can be joined or withdrawn. Taxation does not exist, so the academic community also agrees with the official statements of various countries. Wakkan

It is just a civilization, not a country.

As the earliest explorer and colonizer of the Mozang continent, the Kingdom of Sigmar is also the earliest discoverer of the Wakanha civilization, as well as the conqueror and destroyer of the Wakanha civilization.

Through advanced weapons and a well-trained army, the Kingdom of Sigmar easily conquered the Wakanha civilization, which had not experienced war for a long time, enslaved the Wakanha people, and plundered the wealth of the ancient city of Wakanha.

The worst thing is that the sailors and soldiers of the Kingdom of Sigmar brought the plague that swept through the Velen countries to the Mozan continent. Faced with this powerful plague, and the Kingdom of Sigmar's unwillingness to take the initiative to treat patients in the Mozan continent, Vakkan

A large number of people from various tribes in the Mozang continent, led by the Ha people, died. In less than a year, more than one million Wakanha people were almost extinct.

It is precisely because the Wakanha people died too quickly and too early, and the inheritance of civilization was instantly cut off, making it impossible for later ancient civilization scholars to study the Wakanha civilization. Therefore, the entire ancient civilization academic community in the Velen world now has no understanding of the Wakanha civilization.

The understanding of Wakanha civilization is still at the most superficial stage, such as architectural style, decorative jewelry, etc.

However, for those scholars who study ancient languages, the Wakanha civilization has undoubtedly provided them with a lot of research information, because they discovered that some builders such as temples in the ancient city of Wakanha have a large number of Gamorei.

The basic radicals and Turing roots of the language have never appeared elsewhere.

"What are you going to do now?" Leo reviewed the information about the Wakanha civilization in his mind, and then said to Dio Browno, who looked very excited: "It depends on the Wakanha civilization discovered by your sponsor.

It's not easy. You have just accepted the invitation and you are already being targeted. By the time you get to Moissan Continent, I'm afraid..."

"I'm going because it's not easy. This research may answer a question I had many years ago." Dio Browno has been completely caught up in the excitement of new discoveries. For him, studying ancient civilizations is far more than just a matter of time.

More important than life, the nervousness caused by the assassination before was completely replaced by excitement.

Leo has met many people like Dio Browno in the Earth Federation. These people are real scientists. For these people, studying the things they want to study is the only goal of life. As for other things

, including life, will not care.

Leo, who knew that persuasion was of no use, thought for a while and said, "I will accompany you to the destination you planned to go to to see the situation there. Then you can consider whether to go to Moissan Continent. What do you think?"
