Chapter 444: A New King and Queen
While Leo was quietly waiting for news from Diffie Roosevelt, an unexpected surprise was suddenly delivered to Leo by a merchant from Fran.
"You were sent by the Count Maupassant?" asked Leo as he looked at the merchant in front of him with distinctly Frankish characteristics.
"Yes. The merchant nodded, and replied succinctly, with a strong military temperament, and then saw him take out a fine box from the package, put it in front of Leo, and said, "This is what the Count Maupassant has ordered me to bring to you, and that I should watch you open the box, and tell me if I am satisfied with the contents, and if not, I need to bring it back." ”
Leo looked at the size of the box, and it was clear that it was the king and queen who had been placed in Sylvia that day.
Although he felt that the king and queen were no longer useful in terms of their own strength, the pair of weapons had helped him a lot after all, and he was curious to know how this pair of weapons would be different after being repaired and transformed.
Upon opening the box, a pair of very rudimentary-looking revolvers appeared, which at first glance looked indistinguishable from the appearance of Leo when he handed it to Sylvia, but a closer look reveals that both pistols have more patterns and inlays that look like decorations.
Before, Leo might not have recognized the patterns and inlays, but now Leo could easily recognize what they were.
That pattern is somewhat similar to the Turing root connection pattern that Leo saw in the black market, but it is more clever and complex, and it is clear that the two patterns are the same type, which shows that the repair and transformation of these two weapons was involved in the wizard, and this wizard may be the inheritor of the tower wizard, at least the knowledge gained by the inheritance is much more than the one on the black market.
Leo's research on this particular pattern has reached a bottleneck, and he has been able to imitate the effect of this pattern, but he has no idea about the principles contained in it, and he has no way to explore it, like parroting. This had led him to have some ideas about trying to find the wizard on the black market and get more knowledge about the pattern from him.
However, the appearance of the king and queen now gave Leo a new direction of study, and he was able to find out how the two patterns of the same origin and two lines of branch were able to find out how they worked, and then he could study more useful knowledge.
If the tower-derived root connection pattern is a surprise, then the gem-like inlays on the pistol in place of the Turing root are another.
Because through the knowledge of the webweaver, the energy waves and the breath of life emanating from the inlays, Leo easily recognized that these inlays were the remains of some gods, and it seemed that the situation was still the blood stone of the real god after thousands of years of transformation.
Bloodstones were discovered very early, thousands of years ago, there were records of bloodstones, but the names were different, but at that time these things were treated as holy objects by various churches, placed in various cathedrals and temples, and worshipped.
The reason why the church did not treat these bloodstones as ordinary gemstones, but as holy relics, was because they found that in the temples, churches, and temples that had the bloodstones, the clergy of the church could communicate with the gods more easily, and it was much easier and more powerful to use the divine magic given by the gods.
Therefore, the various churches in the world of Velun also regarded the Bloodstone as a favor from the gods, and for a long time they controlled the mining and use of the Bloodstone, and no private person was allowed to own the Bloodstone, including the king.
However, with the gradual disappearance of the gods and the decreasing influence of the church, some of the church's prohibitions have lost their effectiveness, and some things that were explicitly forbidden by the church in the past have begun to become ordinary people's daily things, such as bathing, drinking red wine during non-communion time, etc., and the mining power of the divine bloodstone has gradually separated from the church and is controlled by the governments of various kingdoms.
For the various kingdoms, the mining power of the Bloodstone is more of a symbolic meaning, symbolizing that the kingdom is beginning to break away from the influence of the church and have independent decision-making power, but they do not know much about the Bloodstone, only as an item to help communicate with the gods, and only the clergy can use it, more often it is inlaid on the jewelry as an ordinary gem to show the dignity of status.
However, as the world of Velon began to enter the age of steam industry, various colleges of study nature have sprung up in various countries of the world of Velon, and the study of Bloodstone has become a key research project in various national academies.
A large number of scholars participated in similar research, and finally they really studied something, they found that putting the bloodstone into the boiler can greatly increase the burning temperature and duration of the charcoal, and in such a high temperature environment, the bloodstone will not have loss, at least with the equipment at the time, it is impossible to find the subtle loss of the surface of the bloodstone.
This discovery caused a lot of shock in the high-level of various countries, the high-level of various countries are not stupid, they can see the potential of the steam engine, just because the charcoal burning firepower is insufficient, so that the power of the steam engine is not enough to support the operation of some large machinery, now there is a bloodstone, so that this bottleneck has been completely broken, from a certain point of view, the rapid development of steam machinery and the effectiveness of the bloodstone is inseparable.
It is precisely because of the importance of the Bloodstone that governments around the world have firmly grasped the mining of the Bloodstone, and listed the Bloodstone as a strategic item prohibited from export.
Although bloodstones are regarded as strategic materials, there are still some bloodstones that will flow into the gemstone market of various countries through other channels, and bloodstones have become one of the highest-grade gemstones because of their religious background and practical utility.
The reason why it is only one of them, and not the real best, is because none of the bloodstones flowing in the market are of the highest quality, and the best bloodstones are all in the hands of governments and churches, and they cannot be seen on the market at all.
However, Leo could be sure that the Bloodstone on top of the king and queen was definitely one of the best quality Bloodstones in the world, and the reason for this was because the knowledge in the Netweaver's memory made him very clear about the origin and quality judgment of the Bloodstone.
Originally, the church gave such a name because the Bloodstones could help them communicate with the gods, and the color of the gemstones was like blood, but they didn't know that the name they had given was crooked, and it happened to tell the origin of these Bloodstones.
As the name suggests, these bloodstones are indeed the blood of the gods, at least in the memories of the weavers, but this god has to be discounted, because this god is not really a god, only a demigod.
There weren't many of the webweavers' memories, they were as old and fragmented as some inherited memories, and Leo just knew that there were a large number of demigods in the past who died in a difficult way before becoming gods, and their bodies fell to the earth, covered by rocks, and crushed by the earth, eventually forming this bloodstone.
According to the division of the web weavers, the Divine Blood Stone is only divided into three categories, which are Dirty Blood, Divine Blood, and Source Blood. The most common thing in the world of Velun is the Divine Blood Stones evolved from the Divine Blood, most of them are used to improve the performance of the steam engine's firepower, and the Dirty Blood contains a very special evil power, which is very popular with the Evil God Church, so most of these Divine Blood Stones have been collected by the Evil God Church.
Only the Divine Blood Stone transformed by the source blood of the gods is very rare, and it is so rare that tens of thousands of Divine Blood Stones may not be able to produce a Divine Blood Stone transformed by the Source Bloodstone, which is usually regarded as the most valuable gem because of its conspicuous and eye-catching appearance, and is used as a decoration for the powerful, such as the Emperor Fran's scepter has an egg-sized Source Blood Bloodstone.
In fact, judging by the use of the steam engine, in addition to the Dirty Blood Bloodstone, the effect of the other two Bloodstones is indeed the same, and the amplification effect they provide for charcoal burning is constant, and there will be no special changes because of the quality of the gemstones, so the magnates of various countries will boldly use this Bloodstone to make some items with special significance, such as the king's scepter, crowns, and more.
But Leo was different, he knew from the memories of the weaver that the Source Blood God Bloodstone contained some unusual things, such as the power of the gods, such as the spirit of the gods, and so on.
Perhaps due to the long time and burial location, etc., the power contained in the Divine Blood Stone may pass away, but it will definitely not disappear completely, because when the power contained in it completely disappears, these special source blood Divine Blood Stones will become ordinary Divine Blood Stones.
In the memories of the webweavers, there are only two groups of people in the world of Velun who know the particularity of the Source Blood Bloodstone and know how to use it, one is the highest level of each church, and the other is the Tower Wizard.
This is why when Leo saw the king and queen inlaid with the bloodstone, he immediately judged that at least one of the people who transformed these two weapons had the inheritance of the wizard of the Tower to participate in it, and this person still obtained the most orthodox inheritance of the wizard of the tower, unlike Leo, who could only look for traces of various witchcraft in the tower from the notes of some wizards of the tower.
Although Leo has not yet tested these two weapons, judging from the above transformation traces, when these two weapons are used, the explosive power of the ammunition may be greatly increased due to the addition of the Divine Bloodstone, which means that the lethality and range will become farther away. In addition, those special patterns can also give the special power of the Bloodstone to the bullet, giving the bullet some special effects.
Leo was satisfied with the mere transformation of these two weapons, and he estimated that even with his current strength, these two repaired and modified weapons would still be useful to him.
But in addition to these superficial modifications that are visible to the naked eye, Leo also discovers the internal modifications of the weapons through the spirit web, and these internal modifications are even larger, the largest of which is the barrels of the two weapons.
The Turing roots in the inner walls of these two barrels are the core of the two weapons, and they are also the key to these two guns being able to become psionic weapons, and now these two barrels have been completely replaced, not only have they been replaced with a stronger and stronger metal, but even the Turing roots on the inner wall have all been modified and changed to several other Turing roots, and judging from the patterns connecting the Turing roots, it is obvious that the transformations on the outside should be from the same person's handwriting.
However, what surprised him even more was that the combination of Turing roots and patterns on the inner wall had begun to change somewhat to three-dimensional roots, and the person who engraved these patterns and Turing roots obviously didn't think that anyone could see these things, and even if they did, it was impossible to know the true meaning of these things, so he didn't disguise or cover up these patterns and Turing roots at all.
But this thing finally fell into the hands of Leo, who is not only extremely proficient in Gamoret, but also knows witchcraft, and the other party's undisguised approach will obviously make Leo's cracking work easier.
"May I ask Mr. Dodd, are you still satisfied?" the merchant asked impatiently as he watched Leo open the box and play with the two weapons in his hand repeatedly, but never gave a single response.
"Nice!
The merchant asked again, and said, "Won't you try the power of this thing?"
"There's no need!" Leo didn't put the weapon back in the box, but put the matching holster on his body, put the two weapons on his body, and said, "You wait here for a while, I want you to bring something back to Count Maupassant." ”
With that, Leo turned and went upstairs to the upstairs study, took out several bottles of special wizard potions and amulets, wrote down the effects of each potion and amulet on paper, took them downstairs, put them in the wooden box from before, and handed them to the merchant.
The merchant didn't ask any more questions, saluted Leo, and then turned away.
After the merchant had left, Leo instructed the coachman to put the carriage on, put on his coat, and left the apartment and drove towards the suburbs.
In the car, Leo took out special bullets from the storage space and stuffed them into the king and queen.
Although he told the merchant that there was no need to try the power of these two weapons, he was actually curious to know how the power and effect of these two weapons would change when they were transformed, and he was also eager to see how these Turing roots, patterns, and Bloodstones worked when using these two weapons.
Because it was driving outside the city, there were not many horse-drawn carriages on the road, and the speed was very fast, and it only took about half an hour to arrive at a small farm town on the outskirts.
After getting out of the car, Leo told the coachman to wait in the town square, and then he walked alone towards the forest on the side of the farmstead.
