Chapter 270: Seeking
"Is there a problem with this Turing root?" Dior Bronno, who couldn't see psionic energy at all, asked a little puzzled when he saw Leo staring at the Turing root on the table without blinking his eyes.
"No problem, I just didn't expect to be able to draw such a complete Turing root. Leo concealed it for a moment, and sighed appropriately.
At this moment, Leo already knows that his mastery of Turing roots has been introduced, and the next step is to continue to accumulate along this line. Although mastery of the Turing root does not immediately increase his strength, it has extraordinary significance for the doppelganger of the wizard. Because according to the vague level division of wizards, he can already be said to have opened the door to the mysteries of wizards at this moment, and stepped into the door, which is considered an official tower wizard, and the wizards of the wizards' guild of the blood wizard Lawrence are already considered two categories, one worships power, and the other pursues knowledge.
Although there has been a leap forward in wizarding and witchcraft, Leo's heart seems very calm, so calm that even he himself feels a little incredible. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this mentality was reasonable, after all, he had seen so many magical existences and felt so many powerful powers, and now this breakthrough in knowledge was no longer enough to shake his heart.
"But this is just the beginning," Dio Bronno didn't understand Leo's inner thoughts, but according to his own thoughts, he said: "The Turing roots of the three basic roots are only the most basic, even if we want to fully understand and master the most basic things, it will take a long time for us to fully understand and master the most basic things, think about the number of known basic roots in the Gamoree language, the Turing roots composed of these basic roots alone are already extremely complex, plus the unknown basic roots," Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: " I don't know if I can finish sorting out the Turing root before I die?"
Although Dio Bronno's words sounded like lamenting that he was too old to finish restoring the Gamoriel language, Leo could sense that there was something else in the other person's words, as if they were coming at him.
Sure enough, then Dioblano asked Leo: "Now someone has funded me to go to the Moisan continent to study the ancient civilization relics excavated there, mainly for the language, writing and culture of ancient civilizations, this project is very large, although the funders will arrange assistants, but I am afraid that the level of those people is also problematic, I need an assistant, you ......"
"I'm sorry, teacher. Without waiting for Dio Bronor to finish speaking, Leo shook his head and rejected Dio Bronno's proposal, but did not say anything to death, but said tactfully: "I am now going back to live in the Kingdom of England for a while to sort out what I have learned, so I can't be your assistant." However, I will definitely go to the Moissanite continent in the future, and if you still need an assistant, teacher......"
"Okay, I'll keep this position for you. Dio Bronno is a pure research scholar, he has no utilitarian thoughts, as long as he is recognized and helpful to his research, he will get his support and attention, so he said: "You don't actually need to go to the Moisan Continent on the spot, you tell me the address of your residence, and after the information from my side comes out, I will send it to you, and you will help me sort it out." β
"I don't have a specific place to live in the Kingdom of England right now, but I do think I'll live in Port Sette, as I still have a few properties there. As he spoke, Leo found a pen and paper, wrote down the addresses of the properties that had been traded, gave them to Dio Bronno, and said, "You can give me your address, and I will write to you when I am settled, and then you will know my definite address." β
"But I don't have a fixed address, do I?" Dior Bronno frowned, and then thought of a solution, and said, "You just said that you would settle in Port Set, right?"
"Yes. Leo nodded.
"This archaeological work on the Moisan continent, Seth's Inge Kingdom Humanities Academy will also send people to participate, I will write you a letter of introduction, by the way, I recommend you, with your mastery of the Gamorean language, it is more than enough to be a researcher of the Gamorean subject. Dio Bronno said his solution, "You only need to work in the Faculty of Humanities, and if I have the materials that need to be sorted out, I can mail them directly to the Faculty of Humanities." What do you think?"
"That's fine. Leo had been thinking about what he would do back to the Kingdom of England, and now Dio Bronno's proposal solved his problem.
Seeing that Leo agreed, Dio Bronno took out a special letterhead paper from his package, quickly wrote a letter of introduction in very decent floral characters, and then put it in the envelope, sealed it, wrote the name of the recipient, handed it to Leo, and said: "After you arrive at Port Set, you will directly hand this letter to Professor Matt of the Faculty of Humanities, who is also an expert in the study of ancient civilizations, and has corresponded with me for many years, he should arrange your position." β
Leo took the letter of introduction and put it in his pocket.
After that, both of them tacitly did not ask each other why they had left the United Kingdom by smuggling, and they returned to the state of teachers and students.
Dio Bronno planned to impart as much knowledge to Leo as he could on the way away, and then recommend some books so that he could continue his studies while in the Kingdom of England, and he also asked Professor Matt to help teach Leo in his letter of recommendation.
For Leo, Dior Bronno is definitely a qualified mentor with real talents. At that time, Rembrandt only taught the Gamoree language systematically, and most of the other time he let Leo read the book by himself, but now Dior Bronno explains his study of the Gamoret language in great detail, almost by hand.
With his extraordinary brain and memory, Leo is like a dry sponge absorbing the knowledge of Dio Bronno and quickly increasing his database.
At first, Dio Bronno just wanted Leo to familiarize himself with the Gamoree language, but he soon discovered that Leo's learning ability was amazing, and he only had to say it once, and Leo would memorize it, which made the content about Gamoret quickly finished.
Dio Bronno was also very happy to see Leo's excellent learning ability, although the content of Gamoree was finished, he still had other languages to speak, so he began to use the branch language of Gamore, the same ancient language as GamorΓ©, and the very special religious language.
Later, Dio Bronno even began to transfer the content of the lecture from language to the writing and culture of ancient civilizations, in short, he was eager to see where Leo's learning limits were.
Leo is also happy to learn more knowledge from Dio Bronno, most of which he memorizes, imitates the ability of the parabrain system, compiles this knowledge into materials, and includes it in the brain database, until Dio Bronno rests because of exhaustion, he will take out this knowledge again, re-learn and consolidate, which also makes his train journey very fulfilling.
Having established that Leo and Dio Bronno were just ordinary fugitives, not spies or conspirators to subvert the kingdom, the two agents disembarked at the first stop of the train.
Because of the freight cars, the train only had to stop for a while on the outskirts of a few major cities, and the overall speed was much faster than those of ordinary trains, but even then it took nearly four days to stop at the town of Fog Bay, a suburb of Port Lyon.
The county of Lyon, formerly the third largest administrative region of the French Empire, is now the largest administrative region of the United Kingdom, and the administrative center of this region is the city of Lyon, which is only a two-day drive from Lancy, and the port of Lyon, a newly established port city fifty years ago.
At first, the port of Lyon was only a secret base for smugglers, but under the siege of the governor of Lyon in the French Empire, this smuggling base was destroyed, and because of the geographical advantage suitable for the construction of a deep-water port, some merchants began to lobby the council of Lyon and funded the construction of a port here. It is precisely because the merchants contributed both capital and effort in the construction of the port, so when the port was built, the merchants occupied more than half of the seats in the port council, and in the subsequent development, more and more merchant seats were held, and finally became the current merchant city.
The town of Fog Bay was formed after the establishment of the port of Lyon, and most of the inhabitants of the town were fishermen, who made a living by fishing and selling their catches to the port of Lyon. However, this situation has changed since the establishment of the United Kingdom.
Because the United Kingdom improved the steel smelting technology and the construction of steamship engines, making steamships cheaper, larger and faster, various shipbuilders began to replace all the steam sailing ships on hand with fully steam-powered steamships, and the docks of Port Lyon could not fully adapt to the replaced steamships, so the Port of Lyon Council decided to expand the docks and transform the port city by the way.
As part of the renovation plan, some important areas of the port of Lyon were relocated outside the port city, such as the passenger railway station to the town of Red Maple on the outskirts of the port area, and the freight railway station to the town of Fog Bay, where a small cargo terminal was built to transfer domestic goods.
However, with the war between the United Kingdom and the French Empire, the original cargo ships in Fog Bay Town also began to do some illegal business, such as transporting some contraband from other places, and helping some special people smuggle out of the United Kingdom.
After Leo and the others got out of the car, several people immediately surrounded them and introduced their ships to Leo and them. It's just that they are very cautious, and there is not a single word in what they say about smuggling, only the speed of the boat, the places where they have registered, what shipping lanes they are familiar with, how many times they have operated a business, and so on. Even if someone asks about smuggling, they will righteously refuse the other person, as if they were serious businessmen.
However, there were also some clever people in the crowd, who soon understood the meaning of their words, and expressed in cryptic language that they wanted to hire their ships, and so on and so forth, and soon all that was left of the freight train was Leo, Dio Bronno, and a few people who were too stupid to understand anything.
"Teacher, aren't you going to buy them a ticket?" Leo asked Dio Bronno, who had been silent since then, as he watched as the captains of the smuggling group turned to leave.
"No, these are all offshore ships, and they have to change ships along the way, and they are not safe. Someone will pick me up later, and I'll be in Port Lyon for a few days, and the sponsor will arrange for a boat to take me out. Dio Bronno took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then gestured to Leo, and walked towards the train station together, and on the way he asked Leo, "What about you? How are you going to get to the Kingdom of England?"
Leo asked, "Is there an ocean-going ship that leads directly to the kingdom of Inge?"
"No, most of the ships here only take the offshore route of the Vilen Continent, and they will not go to a place as far as the Inge Kingdom. Dio Bronno thought for a moment and suggested: "You can take a boat to the port of Nice and then take a transcontinental ocean liner from the port of Nice." Or just wait a while, and the British envoys will depart from the port of Lyon to the Kingdom of England to negotiate trade, and then they will be followed by several ocean-going ships, and you can take them aboard. β
Leo thought for a moment, did not accept Dio Bronno's proposal, and said, "I'd better find another way to leave!"
As he spoke, a private steam locomotive came from a distance, and its huge headlights illuminated the road that was still somewhat dark in the early morning, and it did not stop until it was in front of the two of them.
The driver, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stuck his head out of the window and asked Leo and Dio Bronno, "Which one is Professor Bronno?"
"I am. Dio Bronno stepped forward and asked, "...... are you?"
The driver stepped out of the car, opened the door of the passenger compartment, and said: "I am the driver and bodyguard arranged for you by the Academy, and I will be in charge of receiving you during your time in Port Lyon." β
"Leo, there's no carriage here, you come with me into the city!" said Dio Bronno to Leo, and prepared to enter the carriage.
"Wait!" Leo suddenly pulled out Dio Bronno, turned his head to look at the driver, and said, "Are you the driver and bodyguard specially arranged by the academy?"
"Yes, sir. The driver was stunned for a moment and smiled.
Leo stepped forward and walked in front of the man, just blocking Dio Bronno behind him, and then said: "Is the academy very short of money? I don't even have a suitable dress for you, and there is such a strong bloody smell on the clothes, do you work in the slaughterhouse?"
As Leo's words fell, the driver suddenly raised his hand, and a short sword came out of his sleeve, which he held in his hand, and stabbed Leo in the heart. It's just that before the tip of the short sword touched the target's clothes, he felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, and the whole person fainted instantly.
