Chapter 275: A Fulfilling Day at Sea

With a burst of whistles, a steel steamship that had been in the water for less than half a year slowly left the dock of the port of Lyon, Leo stood on the first-class viewing platform near the captain's room, looking at the gradually shrinking port of Lyon, without any expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Leo left, Diego sent a pottery urn from the desert vanishing civilization and asked Dio Bronno to help study it, and Dio was quickly attracted by the information of the ancient civilization contained in the pottery urn, and devoted himself to the research, completely forgetting about Leo's departure.

Leo, as a bystander, knew very well that Diego was probably doing this to prevent Dio Bronno from going to a dangerous place like the docks, so as not to be assassinated again, but the other party didn't know that those dangers had been solved by Leo last night, and the docklands were safe.

Leo also did not intend to tell Diego about this, because in this way, Diego and the boss behind him would always keep Dio Bronno in a tight state, which would be conducive to Dio's future security.

The strange fruit obtained from the two Wakanha killers last night was being played with by Leo in his hands, and after a night of research, Leo could be sure that these two things were real fruits, and that the distorted patterns from the demons on the surface were not deliberately drawn, but were already like this when they were grown.

It seems that there are only two effects of this fruit now, one is the prohibition and restriction, and the person who grows the fruit in the body will be subject to a kind of restriction, as long as he is forced to ask more questions than a certain number in the case of powerless resistance, the fruit will devour the host.

The other should be to strengthen the human body, although these Wakanha killers are vulnerable in front of Leo, but it is the result of Leo's full attack, after all, his body has evolved at least twice, and his physical fitness is comparable to the strongest armed cyborg of the Earth Federation. And those Wakanha killers did not die under such a force attack, which shows that their physical strength is extraordinary, even compared to those clans who are known for their strength.

In a way, these Wakanha people who have been planted with fruit should also be regarded as a different kind of family, their bodies have not changed, all their strength comes from the fruit, and once the fruit is gone, they have become ordinary people again.

It's just that on the surface, the fruit does only have two abilities, but Leo feels that the fruit should hide other abilities.

If you want to study the true power of this fruit, the best way is naturally to re-implant the fruit into others, draw out the power of the fruit, and then directly study the host, but he can't find a target to test at sea, and letting him attack innocent people is not in line with his current character, so he can only hope to meet some pirates who are not long-sighted during the sea voyage.

However, it is clear that even the most stupid pirate would not want to use his sailboat to rob a steel steamship.

During his few days on the ship, Leo lived a fulfilling life, reorganizing the books he had recorded and the knowledge he had learned, so that he could use it freely and quickly without the help of a vice-brain.

Before Leo's departure, the most useful knowledge for Leo in Dio Bronno's all-day assault teaching was not the study of ancient civilizations that Dior valued, nor the new discoveries about the Gamore language, but the experience and methods accumulated by Dio in the study of ancient civilizations and languages over the years.

Having learned these methods, Leo is now able to parse the knowledge he has gained from the webweavers step by step, gradually learning about the mysteries of ancient mysteries such as gods, clans, and psionic beings known as ancient beasts.

In the process of reorganizing, Leo found a lot of errors in his previous interpretation of the knowledge of the weavers, because he only interpreted the recognizable parts of the text and patterns, but in fact, the patterns between the words and patterns were also some variants, and the meanings of these variants were very complicated, and the content of the sentence was completely different when it was in different positions.

For example, the part about the children of the swamp, judging from the part that was interpreted before, these contents are all about the habits and abilities of the children of the swamp.

But now, if you add those variants, and add the meaning of these variants according to Dior Bronno's analysis, you will find that these words have become a different meaning. Instead of introducing the Swamp Child, it introduces a swamp species that Leo has only heard of, but has never seen.

This new content suggests that the Sludge and the Swamp Sons have a symbiotic relationship, with the Swamp Sons burying themselves in the Swamp when they are young, and the Sludge Monsters will feed the Swamp Sons while devouring and decomposing their prey.

When the Children of the Swamp reach adulthood, they will break away from the Sludge, but before they do so, they will sacrifice a portion of their body to the Sludge Monster, which can be used to make sacrifices to a god called the Mother of the Swamp to split into a new Sludge Monster.

It takes a lot of brainpower to reorganize and interpret this knowledge, even if Leo's brain has evolved and retains some of the abilities of the auxiliary brain, but it is still very difficult to deal with, usually half a day to reach the limit, and the rest of the time is mostly used to refine potions and make his own wizard curiosities.

Because of the large number of available raw materials on hand, there is no need to worry about the trouble of not being able to supply such materials, which makes Leo master a lot of refining skills through a large number of refining experiments, so that the types of finished potions have also increased rapidly, from a few potions such as healing potions and cat potions to more than 20 potions with different functions.

By the time he had exhausted all the potion materials from clans and monsters in his storage space, the number of potions he could easily refine without error had increased to five, and there were another thirteen potions with a success rate of between thirty and sixty percent, while other potions needed to be left to chance. As for the number of potions in his arsenal, it has also increased to more than a hundred bottles, of which three are what he defines as powerful potions.

Leo has only one definition of a powerful potion, that is, after taking it, it can directly increase its own strength by more than double.

Now the three powerful potions refined by Leo are all different, one is the thunder potion in the witcher potion, the effect of this potion is that it can increase the body's strength, reaction and agility by at least two times for a long time after taking it, and the side effect is that after taking it, it will accumulate a certain amount of toxins in the body, and you can no longer take any witcher potions until the toxins are excreted from the body.

The other two potions are wizard potions, one is a self-healing potion, this potion is an improved healing potion, which not only allows the body to recover from fatal and non-fatal traumatic injuries in a short period of time, but also allows the self-healing effect to last for a period of time, and the length of time depends on the amount of self-healing injuries.

The last one is a very pure psionic potion, which is, to put it bluntly, a compressor against psionic energy. This potion can only be used by Leo, and others, even a level 6 psionic person, will be injured or even killed by the sudden surge of psionic energy.

Only Leo can use the super absorption ability of the chaotic stomach pouch to make this compressed and purified psionic potion work without harming himself, and its effect is very simple, so that Leo's psionic energy can be increased by three times in a short period of time, and the psionic energy recovery speed is five times that of normal times, and he can use the witchcraft he knows at will, without worrying about running out of psionic energy.

The refining of potions is easy for Leo to get started with because of his experience in refining potions, and as he increases his experience and mastery of skills, the refining process becomes easier and easier. Compared to refining potions, making wizard artifacts made him encounter some difficulties, and he wasted a lot of bone materials.

The Bone Charm is a wizarding artifact that Leo saw in the wizard's notes of the Wizard of the Wilderness, and it would be incorrect to say that it was a wizarding artifact, and according to the notes in that notebook, it is more suitable to be called a shamanic artifact.

However, there is no mention of how this shamanic artifact was made in this wizard's notebook, and Leo had seen how it was made from a book provided by Dio Bronno last night, which completely regarded this method as a primitive religious ritual of the Moissanite tribes.

These strange things were created by those primitive tribal shamans in the wasteland of Moissan, and in terms of function, they are very similar to wizard strange things, but they are much simpler to make, carving runes, and infusing psionic energy or the power of nature.

It's just that the flaws of this strange thing are also very large, and the first material needed is very strict and single, which is bone, a kind of bone that only shamans know whether it is suitable or not. The second is the rune, and even the book does not record what kind of rune it is, because this is the secret of the shaman's inheritance. Finally, there is the use of the bone talisman, which can be used repeatedly like a wizard artifact, usually only once, like a potion, slightly different can be used multiple times, but not more than five times at most.

Leo had a lot of bones on hand, and except for a few that were used to refine potions, the rest of the bones were not used for the time being, so when he sorted out his knowledge, he thought of something like a bone talisman and felt that it would be okay to try it, even if it didn't succeed, he could increase his experience.

Although Leo didn't know shaman runes, he knew a lot of wizarding runes and magic circles from the dream world, and he wanted to see what effect they had on them.

In fact, the difficulty of making the bone talisman was far more difficult than he expected, and during these days of drifting on the sea, he experimented more than 500 times in total, exhausting all the bones of all the clans and monsters obtained from the Dibia Mountains, and finally only made five bone talismans, including two riot bone talismans, two flame bone talismans, and one impact bone talisman.

Originally, there was also a shock bone talisman, but he used it to see the effect, and he was very satisfied with the effect he saw.

The runes used to make the bone talisman were derived from the sorcery air hammer, which could only be used to break down doors and destroy walls, but when he used his psionic energy to draw out the power of the impact bone talisman and threw it into the sea, the sea surface caved into a hole twenty meters in diameter, and caused a small tsunami, which frightened the people on the boat.

Judging from this experiment, the power of the air hammer that was made into a bone talisman was eventually increased by five or six times, or even more, than if not directly cast.

Because of this, he didn't dare to try other bone talismans, especially riot bone talismans, otherwise if something unforeseen happened, he might have to face a whole shipload of madmen, and whether he solved them in the end or not, he would end up adrift on the sea.

The cargo on board seemed to be of great importance after eleven days at sea, without any port calls, and the cargo on board seemed to be of great importance, with as many as fifteen armed men guarding the hold alone every day.

It stands to reason that Leo would not have been able to board this ship, but the Goode family had trade contacts with the ship's owner, and it was not difficult to arrange for a man to board the ship. However, in the first few days when Leo first got on the ship, the people on the ship were still nervous for a long time, and almost every day, three people stared at the first class cabin where Leo was.

Although the Goode family were close partners, the cargo was so important to the shipowners that they had to be careful.

However, when they found out that Leo had been staying in first class all the time, doing some strange experiments that they couldn't understand, their vigilance relaxed a lot, and finally a few days before they arrived at the port of Venaya, they all removed the people in charge of surveillance.

However, the people on the ship did not know that on the first day of Leo's boarding, he knew what the cargo under the cabin of the ship was, because the strict protection of the owner aroused his curiosity, so that night, he was tired of making potions and bone charms, so he dived to the bottom of the ship and regarded it as a relaxing exercise.

Hundreds of wooden boxes of various sizes filled the entire cargo hold, each of which was filled with various mechanical parts, the largest of which were steam engines.

Leo himself had read a lot of mechanical engineering books in the dream world, and he already had a certain understanding of not only small mechanical parts, but also large machines that seemed to him to be very primitive.

Some of the mechanical parts in these wooden boxes are special shapes and the size of the steam engine, and other details, Leo speculates that the parts in these wooden boxes should be the fuselage part of a small floating airship.

Leo, who made the inference, also understood why the people on the ship were acting so nervous.

Although airship technology is being developed all over the world, the most mature airship technology is in the Lancy factory in the United Kingdom, where the world-renowned Louis X airship was produced in Lanxi and designed and manufactured by Rupert Fitz himself.

After the establishment of the United Kingdom, Lanxi no longer manufactured airships to foreign countries, and classified airship technology as a state secret and strictly protected it. Now that the ship is carrying parts for the airship, and the steam engine is involved, if the United Kingdom finds out about it, not only the people on board will be unlucky, but even the owner of the ship may not escape imprisonment.

However, Leo was not in the mood to meddle in things, nor did he find out who bought the goods, and quickly put the matter behind him.
