The door to the hunter's hut was unlocked, but with a latch inserted, and Leo opened the door and walked inside, scanning the room for a fireplace and some dry wood for making a fire.

After lighting the fireplace, he turned around and was about to close the door when he saw some white shadows swaying in the forest outside the hut.

"What a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die!" Seeing these white shadows swaying in the distance, but not daring to approach, Leo sneered, ignored it, closed the door casually, and began to search the room for the clothes he needed.

These white shadows were a group of dream spirits he had just encountered, and their form was like the legendary ghosts, they would usually hide in the shadows of the forest, and once someone broke into their traps, they would come out at the same time and attack the intruder.

Their attacks are all mental attacks, which can produce extremely strong psionic spirit waves, interfere with the brains of ordinary people, and make people produce extremely real spiritual illusions, most of these hallucinations are the most terrifying things in the hearts of the attackers, once they are killed in the illusion, they will also die in reality, so the average person is under the siege of such a group of dream spirits, the chance of survival is very low.

It's a pity that the person attacked by these dream spirits was Leo, even if Leo was hit by the sudden attack and saw the scene that he thought was the most terrifying in his heart, but the auxiliary brain system in an absolutely rational state easily debunked the illusion, allowing him to instantly get rid of the influence of the illusion, and directly killed more than a dozen of these dream spirits, and the rest were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

It's just that these dream spirits seem to have a strong sense of revenge, and after escaping, they quickly gathered together, and followed Leo from a distance, looking for an opportunity to attack, until now.

Since he had figured out the strength and weakness of these dream spirits, Leo didn't care about the tailgating of these dream spirits.

On the contrary, because of the existence of these dream spirits, the other dream spirits that Leo encountered on the road were exposed before he approached, and he would not even take the initiative to attack Leo, but would attack these dream spirits who followed, which made his future path much easier.

After searching the hut, Leo soon found several sets of clothing, which were old hunting jackets, and they were a size smaller than his size, and it would be difficult for him to put them on his body even if he was naked without any undershirts.

In addition, Leo found several sets of weapons in the house. The reason why I say several sets is because these weapons are stored by the sleeve, which is basically two cold weapons similar to flange knives, with a blade machine crossbow and a bag of silver-white sand.

Leo didn't know exactly what the bag of sand was, but he could feel a psionic energy from the sand, and the wavelength composition of this psionic energy was very similar to the psionic field composed of the nets on the eaves outside the door, and it was supposed to be an item used to dispel dream spirits.

In addition, there were a number of pills and ointments in the cabinet where the weapons were stored, and with the exception of one or two medicines that were somewhat similar to the common healing medicines recorded in medical school books, most of the others were very potent pick-me-ups, and the mere smell of these drugs could make the mind extremely clear.

According to Leo's guess, these drugs should be mainly used to deal with the white shadow dream spirits outside, because after using these drugs, the mind becomes clear, and the illusions produced by the spirit lose their effect.

In addition to some supplies such as clothing and weapons, there were also a few books in the room, which seemed to have been placed here by the hunter team who had come here to resupply in the past, but unfortunately Leo didn't have the wizard's curiosity in his hand that could read the handwriting, so he could only sigh.

Unable to find a single useful item in the house, Leo had to pull out the skin map again and prepare to find the location of the next supply point.

However, at this moment, a little silver-white sand on his finger accidentally fell on the animal skin, and the animal skin immediately received a faint light.

Because it was by the fireplace, the faint light was obscured by the fireplace glow, and Leo didn't notice it, but his parabrain system recorded the slightest change, and formed a cue in his eyes.

Seeing the prompt screen given by the parabrain system, Leo realized that the silver-white sand just now seemed to have caused some kind of reaction from the animal skin map.

To this end, Leo hurriedly picked up a bag of silver-white gravel, twisted some of it with his fingers, and sprinkled it on the hide. This time, the glow on the hides was a little stronger and longer-lasting, but he still couldn't make out what was going on.

"Just pour it all on it!" Leo thought for a moment, and poured the entire bag of silver-white sand onto the hide.

In an instant, the effect similar to a flashbang was produced on the hide, and a burst of intense light erupted, and the light did not disappear like the faint light before, but spread outward like sunlight, and in the blink of an eye, it passed through the cabin, covering a range of hundreds of meters around the cabin.

Leo's vision could not see through the cabin, and his spiritual net was disturbed by the spiritual energy contained in the light, so he could not perceive the outside normally, but his ears could clearly hear the neighing of some dream spirits before they died.

After the psionic light disappeared, Leo used the spirit net to perceive the situation outside, and found that the previously entangled dream spirits were all gone, as if they had been purified by the light.

In order to confirm, Leo walked out of the hut, went outside, and looked around, and found a lot of high-energy substances on the ground, which should be the remnants of the dream spirit.

"What the hell are you?" Leo couldn't help but muttered in his heart, looking at the dozen or so high-energy substances in his hand, and then at the restored map of animal skins.

Just when Leo was surprised and puzzled by the origin of this beast skin, far away at the top of the tallest and largest wizard tower in the center of Silvermoon City in String Moon Lake, the sudden movement of an ancient wizard strange object attracted the attention of the upper echelons of Silvermoon City.

The Black Tower in the center of Silvermoon City is the center of the entire Silvermoon City and even the entire world, and it is also the tallest building in the entire world, with a height of 373 meters and a 57-story tower inside, which is the headquarters of the early wizarding guild.

Except for the various chiefs of the association, no one knew who built this black tower and what it was for, only that it had been standing here before Silvermoon City appeared. There is also a rumor that the chief of the Wizarding Guild is more suitable to be the caretaker than the owner of the Black Tower, and there is no conclusion as to what to guard.

However, as the heads of the Wizarding Association began to build their own wizarding towers, the headquarters of the Wizarding Association was also relocated from the Black Tower, and a wizarding association area was opened up in Silvermoon City, and the Black Tower was also converted into a public library, museums and other public places.

However, these public areas open to the public are only 50 floors below the 50th floor, and the 50th floor and above are still directly controlled by the Wizarding Guild.

In the early days, the top eight floors of the Black Tower were converted into temporary residences for the wizards at the bottom, and later due to the continuous expansion of the wizarding association, the number of wizards at the bottom skyrocketed, and the wizards association had to rebuild a wizard settlement in the city, and these low-level wizards were placed there, and the top eight floors were vacant.

Now, the vacant eight floors have been heavily rented by the new Mechanics Guild of Ten Towns and Silvermoon City over the past few decades, who have not only converted the top eight floors into mechanical research and manufacturing studios, but also transformed the top floor into a docking point for airships, and installed three steam elevators that reach to the bottom.

The airship stop at the top of the Black Tower is not the ordinary airship stops in the Lake District in Ten Towns and Silvermoon City, the airships in this stop are responsible for replenishing supplies for important locations such as the Grave Keeper's Cabin, the Fog Zone Guard Castle, and the Night's Watch Castle outside the Lake District.

Today was the first time this month that the various garrisons outside the Lake District had been replenished, but the level of attention paid to this matter by the people of Silvermoon City was very ordinary, and the Wizarding Guild had handed over this matter to the Mechanical Studio and the Airship Transportation Company as usual, and they were more concerned about the ownership of the Tenth Chief Wizard seat that had been vacated this time.

As in previous years, the mechanical studio and the airship transport company also selected five people each to be responsible for cargo inventory and airship maintenance, and Belen was one of the five people in the mechanical studio.

Compared to other colleagues who already had experience working in the Black Tower, Belen, who had come to the Black Tower for the first time, was very curious about everything around him, and after inspecting an airship ready to set off, he began to wander around the top of the Black Tower, touching here and there.

For the residents of Silvermoon City, the top of the Black Tower has always been the most mysterious place, and there are many legends about the top of the Black Tower circulating in the city, including some absurd legends, such as the secret of destroying the world is hidden in the room on the top floor of the Black Tower, etc.

Although this rumor sounds ridiculous and no one will believe it, it is strange that this rumor has never disappeared in Silvermoon City.

Even if the headquarters of the Wizarding Guild was moved out of the Black Tower, and the management of the Black Tower was handed over to the City Council, and then the most secret top floor room was handed over to the mechanical studio, so that many ordinary apprentices of the mechanical studio like Belen could also come to the top of the Black Tower, this ridiculous rumor still circulated in the city, affecting generations of ordinary people.

Belen was obviously one of the affected people, and the other people resting in the room were not surprised by Belen's behavior in the room, and in fact they did something similar to Belen when they first came to this room.

"If there really is any world-destroying secret, those wizards have already discovered it. One of the porters of the airship transport company looked at Belen doing what he had done before, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's more, those wizards emptied this place when they left, and those secret ones are probably also in those things that were removed." ”

"Those wizards aren't all empty. A mechanical engineer retorted to the porter's words, pointed to the dome above the room, and said, "There's a big guy up there that can't be moved away but to stay here." ”

Everyone followed the mechanical engineer's finger and looked up, only to see a mechanical sphere hanging from the dome, and the entire sphere was composed of dozens of horizontal and crisscrossed circular shafts. The surface of these shafts has a large number of delicate patterns. It's just that because of the rust, these patterns have been blurred, and the whole ball looks like it will fall apart at any time.

"Didn't you install this thing yourself after your machine studio took over here?" asked an airship company manager, puzzled.

"Of course not. When he saw that everyone was puzzled, the mechanical engineer, who enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, explained: "According to records, this thing existed when the Black Tower was built, but no one knows what this thing is used for, and the relevant books and materials have been burned in the Black Tower Rebellion." ”

"Hey, buddy!" a mechanical engineer suddenly reminded his colleague, "There are some words that are not appropriate for words." ”

The Rebellion of the Black Tower is the biggest stain on the Wizarding Association, this turmoil almost destroyed the Wizarding Association, and also almost destroyed Silvermoon City and Ten Towns, so far the Union Council has not recovered, and the Night's Watch is still independent of the Union Council, so this turmoil that happened hundreds of years ago is a taboo topic even in Silvermoon City today.

The mechanical engineer pouted disapprovingly at the caution of his colleague, and then he watched as Belen moved the herringbone ladder directly under the sphere, and as if he was going to get closer to see the sphere, he added: "There is nothing nice about this thing except that several longitudinal and horizontal axes are connected by bearings, and the axes can be changed by the movement of gears." ”

Belen didn't listen to his colleagues, climbed the herringbone ladder to the rusty sphere, looked at it carefully, and asked, "If this sphere can turn on its own, then what is it that powers the sphere?"

"Maybe it's some kind of old steam engine device, didn't it mean that the Wizarding Guild moved a lot of things when they left?" a porter stepped forward, looked up at the strange ball, and said, "Maybe the steam engine that provided the power was removed at that time." ”

"No!" Belen shook his head and said, "There are no steam pipes on it, and even if there is a steam engine, steam power cannot be transported to it." ”

As he spoke, Belen took out a scrub cloth from his kit to clean the rust, placed it on the outermost horizontal axis of the sphere and wiped it off, wiping the rust off the top, revealing the pattern underneath.

Just as Belen was about to see what the pattern on it looked like, all the vertical and horizontal bearings of the sphere suddenly shone with a burst of white light, and then began to rotate. Before everyone could react, all the vertical and horizontal bearings turned together, and then stopped at the same time, causing the entire object to change from a sphere to a disc.
