Because his mouth was a little dry, Valentin picked up the kettle on the table and was about to pour a glass of water to drink, but the water did not pour out as he wished, and then Valentin realized that he had been talking since just now, and he couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression on his face, and said to Leo who was listening to him quietly with an apologetic face: "Sorry, Mr. Dodd, I've been here alone for almost a month, and I'm a little too lonely, and I finally met a living person, so I have a lot to say!"

"It's okay, I love listening to people. "How could Leo, who had received a lot of information from Valentin, blame the other party and signal that the other party didn't have to care.

Valentin smiled, and then asked curiously, "Will you recruit night watchmen for this pilgrimage?"

"No, because this is just a temporary pilgrimage, and I'm only going to be in charge of surveying the growth of monsters in the forest. Based on some information about the duties of the Night's Watch that the other party had just revealed, Leo casually made up a reason to fool Valentin into the past, lest Valentin ask about something he didn't know.

Then, he looked at the furnishings in the room again, found an old book on the table, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, pointed to the book, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you read it?"

"I've just learned Old French and don't understand the contents of these books very well. Valengin did not doubt him, handed the book on the table to Leo along with a pair of glasses, and said.

Leo didn't have any abnormal expression on his face, took the book and glasses, and after seeing the hint that the parabrain system in front of him had discovered the wizard's strange things, he put the glasses on, and the handwriting on the book, which was completely incomprehensible, was understood under the effect of the glasses.

The book is written in Old Frangian, and the content is very simple, that is, how to assemble and maintain the blade machine crossbow, and the whole content adds up to just over twenty pages, and because it is made of some kind of animal skin, it is a little thick.

Leo quickly read all the contents, and with the help of the subbrain system, he simulated and assembled a set of such bladed crossbows in his mind. The machine crossbow was apparently modified from the earlier mechanical repeaters, and it must have undergone several adjustments, completely abandoning the range and accuracy of the repeaters, and replacing them with more powerful torsion springs to increase the lethality of the blade within fifty meters.

After putting down the book in his hand, Leo motioned if he could see the blade crossbow, and Valentin did not doubt him, so he happily handed it to him.

Leo took it in his hand and looked at it, then took off the blade, pulled the trigger, tried the empty chamber ejection, and then said to Valentin: "You stuck the circlip of the catapult too tightly, although it can increase the strength of the catapult, but it is easy to cause unnecessary strain to the catapult, and the catapult that could have been used five hundred times may only be used two or three hundred times for this reason." ”

"No wonder my crossbow always needs to change the catapult, that's why. Valentin took the weapon and checked it according to Leo's prompt, revealing a look of sudden realization, and then while modifying the lock of the catapult circlip according to Leo's prompt, he looked at Leo with some surprise and said, "Do you also like the crossbow? I thought that the night watchmen like to use more delicate, powerful, and convenient guns." ”

Although this sentence does not have much special meaning, but hearing Leo's ears knows more useful information, unlike the night watchmen of Veron, who mainly use mechanical repeaters and cold weapons, supplemented by firearms, the night watchmen here seem to use firearms, and no one uses machine crossbows.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that there are a lot of materials for making special bullets here, so it can supply a large amount of consumption for the night watch. Moreover, the power of the special bullets is also much more powerful than in Veron, at least more powerful than the power of these crossbows, otherwise Valentin would not have been so surprised to see that Leo knew how to maintain the crossbow.

Leo casually concocted an explanation, saying, "Firearms are too delicate and can be easily damaged in battle, so you need to learn as many other useless ways to use and maintain them as possible." ”

"I thought the Night's Watch would only need to be proficient in spell-like magic in addition to melee weapons and firearms. Valentin inadvertently revealed another useful piece of information.

This is not the first time he has heard the term spell-like, and Leo has heard it many times in Rembrandt's old man, and knows that it is a supernatural power that is different from witchcraft.

It's just that there aren't many detailed records of quasi-spells in the books he has seen, and most of them are just records that quasi-spells are special abilities possessed by the clans and people implanted with alien cells, just like the abilities used by the high priests and priests of the Aknaya Church in Cage City.

However, quasi-spells are not limited to the ability to use psionic energy, in fact, most of the most detailed quasi-spells in the books are some abnormal physical abilities, such as extraordinary vision, strong strength, and so on. Although Valentin didn't specify what the Night's Watch-like spell was, Leo felt that it should be.

Just as Leo was about to extract some more useful information from Valentin's mouth, a horn-like whistle suddenly came from outside, which felt like an elephant chimes that had been amplified more than ten times.

Hearing this, Leo thought that some dream spirit had appeared outside, but soon he knew from the look of joy on Valengin's face that he had miscalculated.

"Haha! I was so lucky today, not only did I see the night watchman, but also the person who delivered the supplies. Valentin jumped up from his chair with joy, ran quickly to the stairs resting on one side of the wall, put it on the skylight of the roof, quickly climbed up, checked the situation outside with a periscope-like device installed on the skylight, and after finding no danger, opened the skylight and climbed onto the roof.

Seeing this, Leo also climbed onto the roof, and saw that at this moment Varentin was lighting several braziers placed on the roof, and holding a torch, shaking it back and forth at a certain frequency.

On the other side of the sky, a huge balloon suspended in the air slowly approached this side, under the balloon is a small house-sized hanging basket, on both sides of the hanging basket there are two thick air pipes connected to the steam engine in the hanging basket, a stream of steam from the air pipe, forming a propulsion to drive the whole balloon forward.

Soon the balloon came to the sky above the grave keeper's hut, and then saw a bundle of wrapped goods drop from the gondola and fall into the middle of the open space surrounded by a brazier on the roof, and when all the goods were lowered, a strange whistle sounded on the gondola, and then slowly turned around and drove in another direction.

Valentin quickly threw the bundled goods into the house through the skylight, so busy that he didn't even have time to say a word to Leo, as if he was worried about something appearing.

Sure enough, Valentin had just dropped half of his cargo into the house when Leo sensed a large number of bird-like monsters entering the range of his spiritual net. The monster was the size of a fist and numerous in number, with two pairs of wings, fangs on a human face, and three claws in the claws, but a straight spike in the center of the claws.

"I think you should go down and stay first. Leo said to Valentin, who was urgently carrying goods.

Valentin was stunned for a moment, and then after hearing the sound of flapping his wings, his face changed greatly, and he wanted Leo to hide back in the house with him, but Leo refused, so he could only hide back in the house with a trace of worry, and at the same time followed the periscope to observe the situation outside, thinking that if something happened, he would take Leo back.

As soon as Valentin closed the skylight, he saw a group of cloud-like human-faced monster birds swarming towards Leo who was standing on the roof.

However, in the face of the flock of strange birds rushing over, Leo didn't make any action as if he was stupid, just stood in place, until the flock of strange birds rushed in front of him, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy rushed out of Leo's body and spread outward in the shape of a trumpet, instantly encompassing all the strange birds in front of him.

These strange birds possess unparalleled agility, dangerous fangs and claws, and are adept at group attacks, and anyone who encounters them will be in mortal danger, but their mental power is so weak that they are almost indistinguishable from those ordinary birds.

In the face of Leo's psionic impact, the spirit of all the birds and finches was directly dispersed, and the fragile heads exploded directly as if they had been planted with a bomb, and the remaining corpses fell to the ground or rooftops one after another, and then were completely burned by the black fire, turning into wisps of black smoke and merging into Leo's body.

Leo, who opened the personal data interface, watched the more than 100 points of psionic energy consumed just now using the psionic wave slowly recover, and the energy storage value of the chaotic stomach pouch also increased by more than 20 points, and a slight smile appeared on his face. It's just that the daily value consumption of will and spirit has not been restored in the same way, and other talents and skills have not changed, which makes him feel a little disappointed.

"It seems that the strength of the dream spirit will also affect the effect of absorption. Leo said in his mind.

At this time, after witnessing Leo easily solve this flock of strange birds, Valentin was not only surprised, but also very envious, thinking that he had the opportunity to have such a powerful power in the past, but finally gave up, and couldn't help but complain about his parents' decision back then, and he only had a strong power in his eyes, and he didn't expect that he would have the possibility of failure.

When Valentin opened the skylight, Leo also closed the personal data interface, and was about to explain to Valentin the scene of absorbing black smoke just now, but found that Valentin did not have any other abnormal expressions except for envy and admiration, as if he had not seen the amazing scene just now.

This made Leo wonder, and the guess was that either everyone here could absorb the black smoke, or Valentin didn't see the black smoke at all, and the possibility of the former guess was almost zero.

Thinking of this, Leo asked tentatively, "Did you see the black smoke just now?"

"Black smoke?" Varentin, who was about to climb out, stopped, shrank back a little, and then looked around with a panicked face, and said, "No! they can't appear in the Silver Moon?" and asked Leo again, "Where did you just see the black smoke?"

"In the forest over there. Leo knew from Valentin's words that he hadn't seen through the periscope how well he had absorbed the Dream Spirit, but he had taken the black smoke that Leo had spoken of as something else.

So Leo pointed to a random location, and then described the shape of the black smoke that the strange bird and Yubato had just formed, to see if he could get some useful information from Valentin's mouth.

Hearing Leo's description, Valentin couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face, it was obvious that the black smoke described by Leo was obviously different from the black smoke he knew, although he felt a little offended, but he still needed to ask clearly, after all, the matter of black smoke was very important to them.

"Do you really see black smoke?" Valentin asked cautiously, "I don't doubt your eyesight, it's just that the black smoke you said seems to be ......"

"Maybe I'm wrong. Leo didn't let him continue, but tactfully cut the conversation to a halt, fearing that if he continued, he might be in danger of being debunked.

With that, Leo helped Valentin carry the supplies from the roof back to the grave keeper's hut one by one, and then returned to the house.

After closing the skylight, Valentin beckoned Leo to sit down, uncovered the wrapped materials on the ground, took out some special bread, dried fruits and other grains from it, placed them in the cabinet one by one, took out some replacement mechanical parts and crossbow blades, and finally took out some clothes and books.

While Valengin was sorting out the supplies, Leo picked up the special glasses and put them on, and looked through the books that had been sent to Valengin to relieve his boredom, and found that most of these books were story books.

Interestingly, the stories recorded in these books all take place on the various continents of the world of Velon, and even the names of countries and regions have not been changed, but the people who write the books and those who read them seem to regard the world of Velen as a fictional world.

Leo was looking at a book that recorded the grievances and hatreds of two noble families in the Kingdom of England, and these two noble families happened to be known to Leo, which was the famous red and white roses.

Valentin, who was sorting out the supplies on the side, also stepped forward like an ordinary book lover, and said excitedly: "Do you also like this red and white rose? ”

"What do you think of the world of Veron in this book?" Leo asked seemingly casually, but tentatively.

"I just think that Mr. Mister has a lot of imagination, but he writes too unconventionally. Valentin was very excited when he mentioned his favorite book, and automatically entered a state of chatter, saying: "Not to mention whether there is such a big lake called the ocean, it is very unreasonable to just have a celestial phenomenon called daytime in that world." Mr. Mister's book describes the day, when he mentions that the day is formed by a silver moon called the sun, which is ten thousand times hotter than fire. If it was really the same as what he said, those people who lived in the world of Velonon would have been burned alive a long time ago, how could they still be alive and create that kind of unbelievable civilization. ”
