The Mysterious World Under Steampunk - Chapter 11 Foggy moon under the black forest

Nielsen looked at the old man expectantly and said, "When I was in the college, I read an article about the Wizicks. The article described the Wizicks as the masters of the Black Forest, and the world's most herbal-ethnic race. . Teacher, since you have the main ornaments of the Wizks here, then the Wizks record the bones of the Black Forest herbs..."

The old man raised his head slightly and angered White Nielsen, and said, "If I find the human bones book, I won't stay here. Instead, I will sit in the college's spacious office, smoke the cigar of the Mogaganu Kingdom, and drink Port wine of the French Empire."

　　 Nielsen scratched his head awkwardly and sat back in the chair beside the old man.

　　 Leo looked at the necklace back in his hand and fell into contemplation, while Jason was walking around in the store with some boredom.

　　After about ten minutes passed, the old man finished writing the letter, took out his special seal from the drawer, covered it on the letter and envelope, and gave it to Nielsen.

　　 Nielsen took the letter, carefully collected it with a waterproof wallet, and then asked the old man, saying: "Teacher, I still need to buy some insect repellent you made."

　　 "Insect repellent?" The old man frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to cross the Black Forest?"

"Yes." Nielsen looked at Leo, and after nodded by tacit consent, he told the old man their plans, saying: "If you cross the Black Forest, it will only take up to four days if you are lucky When you arrive at the city of Miria, if you walk around the Black Forest Avenue on the edge of the Black Forest, even if you take a carriage, it will take more than ten days. Horse riding may be shorter, but it will not be too short."

　　The old man listened to Nielsen’s remarks, took out his pipe to light it, and took a hard sip. When he exhaled the smoke, he said, “Don’t you know that it’s a foggy month under the Black Forest, and is it not suitable to enter the Black Forest?”

　　 "Mist Moon?" A blank look appeared on Nielsen's face, obviously he didn't understand what it meant.

"I forgot that you are not a Black Forest man, and I don't know the meaning of Wuyue." The old man smoked a cigarette and took out a map of the Black Forest printed by the Imperial Press of France. While drawing on the map with his fingers, he said: "Every year For a period of one to two months, the dense fog in the northern Great Black Forest will go south and enter the lower Black Forest. During this time, the Black Forest people call it the Fog Moon. It is very dangerous to enter the Lower Black Forest during this time. This danger does not come from the black forest beast poisonous insect hidden in the fog, but the fog itself. People who break into the fog are usually disoriented and guided by the fog to the depths of the black forest. Eventually died in the Black Forest."

"There is still such a thing!" Nielsen's expression also became serious. He knew that the character of the old man in front of him would never say anything exaggerated. Since the old man said that, then the Black Forest of Mizuki must be very dangerous. . So he was worried about Leo and asked: "Mr. Leo, what do you think? Should we take the Black Forest Boulevard instead? If we use the fast horse, we can take the steam train to the nearest Doha two days later, It should also reach Miria City after seven or eight days."

"Don't change course, we still go to the Black Forest." Leo could hear the retreat in Nelson's tone, but he didn't pay attention, still maintaining the original decision, and said with great confidence: "If you just worry about being in the fog If you get lost, there is absolutely no need, because I will never get lost."

The reason why Leo is so confident is because the auxiliary brain system can help to draw any map easily, and it is also omnidirectional. This has been proved in countless times in the past, so it is a death trap for ordinary people. The dense forest has no effect on him.

　　 Leo's self-confidence made Nielsen and Elder Pierre stunned.

　　 It's just that Nielsen has seen Leo's ability to choose the correct route in the forest before. He also inexplicably feels that Leo's self-confidence is not untargeted after the accident.

　　 It was the old Pierre who felt that Leo’s performance was just ignorance and ignorance. Once he entered the Black Forest, he would surely be as scared as the hunter rookie.

　　 So, the old man was going to persuade Nelson not to adopt this plan which was like what he did to look through death through the foggy black forest.

　　However, Nielsen seemed to expect that the old man would persuade himself, so he said first: "Teacher, I think Mr. Leo said that since he said this, we can definitely do it, we will not change the plan."

　　 "Damn!"

　　The old man knew his personality as a student very well, and he could only curse in his heart without persuading him.

　　 turned to Leo, grabbed Leo's shirt, and looked as if he wanted to breathe Leo on him, preparing to say two harsh words that taught him.

　　 But somehow, after seeing Leo's extremely calm look, he couldn't help but feel that the other party might not be talking big and really could do it.

　　 So, when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and finally only glared at Leo, then turned and walked to the hut behind the shop.

After a while, the old man took out a simple wooden box from the house, put it on the counter, pushed it in front of Nelson, and took three more ball-shaped incense burners hanging on his body, and put it on the box. Said: "My insect repellent may be weakened in Fog Moon. In addition to wearing it on your body, you must also ignite a piece placed in an incense burner and scrape outside your body, and before leaving the forest, the insect repellent in the stove will be Can't stop."

　　 "Thank you, teacher." Nielsen sincerely thanked.

　　'S side was suddenly awkward in English, and asked, "How much does this cost? Is our money enough?"

　　 Leo and Nielsen glared at Jason, beckoning him to shut up.

The old man who heard the English language was a little ugly. Although Nelson said that they were soldiers of the English Kingdom when they introduced Leo, Nelson and Leo used the Bodo local accent when talking to him. The French language makes him forget for a time that there are a few hostile people in front of him, just his own students and his friends.

　　 But Jason, an English with a strong local accent, hooked up his bad memory and reminded him of the hostile relationship between the two countries, and the expression on his face was naturally not much better.

I saw that he glared fiercely at the three people in front of him, and said angrily: "You don't have to say the price, you can't afford it in your current situation." Then, he took out a very thick book and put it in On the counter, open it and quickly turn to the bookmarked page in the middle, pointing to the herbal pattern on the book page and saying: "However, as long as you can help me find this herbal medicine, these things will be given to you."

　　 "What is this?" Leo looked over the page of the book in doubt.

I saw that the pattern on the page of the book is a flower that looks very similar to the earth plant lily of the valley, but this flower has only one flower, a flower stem and a flower leaf. The overall color of the flower is purple, and the surface has some swirls Golden thread, looks very beautiful.

　　 "This is a purple crown flower." Nielsen only glanced on the page, without having to read the introduction on the pattern, he had already recognized this flower with such obvious characteristics. It was just that he asked in doubt, "Is the Herbal Association not saying that the purple crown flower does not exist at all?"

"When did the idiots say what happened?" The old man grumbled disdainfully, and then said very carefully: "I have the exact news that the purple crown flower will appear in the black forest of Wuyue, but Special containers need to be placed in order to preserve them intact and not wither."

Leo interrupted abruptly at this moment, saying: "Wait, since we know that this plant will appear in the Black Forest of Wuyue, then it means that someone has entered the Black Forest of Wuyue and came out alive. No one ever..."

　　 "Stupid, the person who came out is not necessarily a person." The old man retorted before Leihou finished.

　　 "I don't have to be a person?" Leo was stunned. He didn't understand the old man's words all at once, and wanted to ask again, but the old man preemptively indicated that he wouldn't say anything.

　　The old man asked: "How do you like this transaction?"

　　 Nielsen hesitated and said, "I may not be able to find this legendary plant."

　　The old man said happily: "It doesn't matter, it's best to be able to find it, and it's nothing to find it."

　　 "Well, I can give it a try." Nielsen nodded in agreement.

Leo interjected again at this time: "Wait, I think this deal, we seem to suffer a bit." Then, he pointed to the pattern on the page of the book and said: "If I haven't made a mistake, this plant is A unique plant in the world, right? Don’t you think it’s too much to exchange for such a unique plant that can make you fame and fortune with just some insect repellent?”

"Don't forget, I'm in danger of losing money!" The old man immediately revealed the instinct of the businessman and bargained with Leo: "After all, you may not be able to find the purple crown flower, but I must invest in these precious drives in advance. Insecticide."

　　Leo directly pointed at the middle-aged and the elderly, saying: "But you can never find a person who is willing to enter the Black Forest in Wuyue, isn't it?"

　　The old man was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and resented towards Leo, said: "Okay! Greedy Inger Octopus. What do you want to pay?"

Leo did not know the value of this purple crown flower, he is not easy to consult with Nielsen, so he deliberately made a look that you would not pit me, and exchanged the pricing power to the old man, saying: "It’s not what I want What remuneration is what you are willing to pay."

　　 "Three thousand gold flanges." The old man thought for a moment and said.

　　Leo said: "No, I think the three thousand gold shield is more suitable."

　　 "You are crazy! Three thousand gold shields? Do you know how much three thousand gold shields are worth?" The old man showed an exaggerated expression, as if Leo had offered a sky-high price enough to buy the entire French Empire.

　　 Leo said calmly: "I know how much the three thousand gold shield is worth, I think the purple crown flower is worth the price."

　　Although the French Empire is one of the best powers on land, compared to the Kingdom of England, which started with maritime trade and has business dealings with countries on three continents, it is much poorer. Moreover, because the Kingdom of England and all the countries of the mainland parliament have business dealings, the gold shield they issue becomes the common currency of the members of the mainland parliament, and the price ratio with the gold **** is two to one.

　　The old man sullen his face for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, three thousand gold shields!"

After talking, the old man took out a barrel-shaped container that should be used to hold purple crown flowers, and gave it to Nelson, and then told Nelson an address of Miria City, so that he could find the purple crown flowers, Go there all.

　　The whole process of the old man did not look at Leo again, obviously Leo, who was so demanding, was hated.

After leaving the herbal shop, Nielsen took Leo and Jason to buy some forest-specific hunting equipment, leather shoes, tents and other necessary items, and spent more than half of the money from the dead body. It was only hours before returning to the hotel.

　　 "I need a separate room." Leo suddenly asked the lobby manager while in the hotel lobby.

　　 The hall manager responded quickly: "Sorry! There are no more rooms in our hotel."

　　 didn't hear the desired answer, Leo frowned.

The Nielsen next to him didn’t understand why Leo suddenly needed a separate room~www.novelbuddy.com~ But he could see that Leo must have something, so he proposed: "Now it’s very unlikely to find a separate room in the hotel, if you If you really need a separate room, you can use our own one. I just need to configure the medicine. I can go to the teacher to do it. It is okay to rest at the teacher at night." Then, I looked at Jason and said: "Jason can help me."

　　 Jason seemed reluctant, glanced at his mouth, but did not reject the proposal.

　　Leo was also not hypocritical, nodded and said, "Just arrange it! I don't need a long time, maybe only half an hour. I will go to you when I'm done."

　　 Hearing Leo’s statement, Nielsen and Jason both showed the same ambiguous vision and looked at Leo up and down. Obviously Leo’s words made them misunderstand.

　　 Leo could see that the two had misunderstood, but had no intention of explaining. He took the key from Nelson and went upstairs.

　　After returning to the room, Leo dropped the package in his hand on the ground, then locked the door, checked the latch of the window, and put down the curtain. After that, he checked the walls of the room again. Although the exterior of the room was a room with a wooden structure, a layer of fireproof asbestos was sandwiched in the walls between the rooms, and this asbestos also played a role in absorbing sound. How much noise there was in the room, and no sound was heard in the rooms on either side.

　　Checked it carefully. After finding no problems, Leo stripped off all the clothes on his body, took out the Wezker's necklace from the pocket of the clothes, and then lay on the bed in the most relaxed posture.

　　 "Check the body status, adjust the body data in real time, and project the system." Leo issued a command to the auxiliary brain.
