"What's going on?" Dior Bronno was completely stunned by the sight of his newly recruited student suddenly assassinated by the driver he had arranged for him by the sponsor's driver to suddenly assassinate his new student, and then saw his student knock him out with a punch.

"I think your driver and bodyguard has been killed. Leo crouched down and turned over the man he had knocked unconscious, and untied the other's coat, only to see that underneath the jacket of the dress was a dock worker's uniform that did not match the coat at all, and the clothes were stained with a lot of blood.

"He ......" Dior Bronno, who was already stunned, didn't know what to say or react to for a while. He has been doing research work in the academy all his life, and where has he ever encountered such a thing.

"Let's get out of here. Leo saw some of the freight station porters coming from a distance, so he lifted the man on the ground, threw him behind the carriage, gestured to Dio Bronno, and sat in the driver's seat.

Leo has driven a land titan, a space fighter, and even a mission requires, and he has also replaced the unknown of the No. 1 pilot of the Star Destroyer, responsible for controlling the space jump of the Star Destroyer, so he thinks it should not be difficult to control this steam locomotive.

It was only after he got into the driver's seat that he realized that what he was looking for was a little different, there was no holographic control system like the one on the Star Destroyer in front of him, nor the neural connection system of the Land Titan and the Space Fighter, but only a semicircular hollow ornament and three iron rods that looked like some kind of mechanical device.

"Won't you drive this?" asked Dio Bronno, who was sitting in the back of the car, through the front window of the car, and saw that Leo who was sitting in the driver's seat outside did not move.

"It's the first time I've seen this. Leo smiled awkwardly.

When he entered the dream world, although the world of Velen already had the prototype of a personal steam locomotive, it was only an experimental product that had not yet been made public, and it was just a strange story seen in the newspaper, so Leo had never seen the real thing, let alone had any experience in operating it.

"Yes, this thing has only become popular in the past two years, and it costs a lot of high-quality charcoal every time you drive, so only a few rich people will buy it. As he spoke, Dior Bronno leaned his head near the front window, looked at the driver's seat, and then pointed: "I have read a newspaper about this thing before, the thing that looks like a decoration, it should be called a steering wheel, which controls the direction of the car, and the other three iron rods seem to be the steam valve, the forward control lever and the stop control lever respectively. ”

As Dio Bronno spoke, Leo figured out the mechanics of the steam locomotive through the spirit web, and then put his hand on the steering wheel, which was more like an ornament, and then pushed the iron rod to open the steam valve and push the forward lever as he understood.

White steam began to spew out from the air outlet next to the car, and the car began to vibrate, and then moved slowly.

Leo turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and headed for the road where the car had come.

Although the road leading from the town of Fog Bay to the port of Lyon has been repaired, it is still not very good, mainly because most of the valuable goods are transported by water with large carrying capacity and low price, so land transportation is not so important, most of the time this road is only for the porters who live in the port area to commute to work, naturally it will not be repaired well.

The car is not fast, it is equivalent to the running of a normal person, and at this speed, it takes almost an hour to reach the port area of the port of Lyon.

Instead of heading directly to Port Lyon, Leo made a turn at a fork in the woods and drove into a relatively dense wooded area, then stopped the car and got up and walked outside the passenger compartment behind.

At this time, Dio Bronno had not yet recovered from what had just happened, and the whole person was still at a loss, and Leo, who opened the car door, began to propose: "Teacher, now we should find out why someone assassinated you, otherwise, it may not be a good idea to go directly to Port Lyon to meet your patron friend." ”

"What is going to be done?" asked Dio Bronno as if he had a backbone.

Leo pointed to the Assassin he had knocked unconscious, and said, "Let's see if I can ask him for something useful." ”

With that, Leo left Dio Bronno in the car, then picked up the assassin and led him to a tree a little further from the road, then tied him to the tree with a rope, and then reached out and pressed him on a certain part of the neck.

The sharp pain in his neck caused the Assassin, who had guessed that he was asleep, to wake up and let out a scream, and when he regained consciousness, he immediately understood his situation when he saw what was happening around him.

Before the other party could fully wake up, Leo raised his hand and used a Yaksi seal, controlling the other party's spirit, and then asked directly, "Why did you kill Dio Bronor?"

The Assassin in a trance explained the reason without any hindrance, saying, "Blasphemer, he is a blasphemer." ”

Leo asked, "Blasphemer?"

The Assassin muttered, "It's not a god! ”

"Wakanha?" Leo was stunned, carefully looked for information in his mind, and said, "Is it the Wakanha civilization in the Moisan Continent?"

"Wakanha!" the assassin suddenly became agitated and shouted loudly, "Ancient immortal species, we are the golden clan parallel to the gods!"

"How many ...... do you have in Port Lyon" Sensing that the other party was fighting for control of himself, Leo was ready to step up to ask for other useful information. However, before he could say anything, he realized that something was wrong with the Assassins.

The Assassin's body trembled violently as if he had epilepsy, and then countless tiny tentacles emerged from his mouth, eye sockets, nostrils, and other places, and his eyes turned blood-red.

Leo felt that a force was pouring out of the other party's body, so there was an accident, and he immediately recited a witchcraft spell in his mouth, mobilized the spiritual energy of his body, and quickly drew witchcraft runes in the air with his fingers.

After a fluctuation of psionic energy, a blue-blue flame appeared out of thin air, and under Leo's control, it instantly burrowed into the assassin's body.

Then a stream of blue flames emerged from the opponent's body, turning the assassin into a ball of fire, and in the blink of an eye, it burned to ashes.

Self-immolation is one of Leo's improved witchcraft, the biggest advantage of this witchcraft is that the spell is fast, the spell is hidden, and the effect is powerful.

This is also the first time Leo has used this improved sorcery, so after the release was successful, he did not leave, but stood still to see the final effect. After the Assassin's body was completely burned to ashes, the flames did not spread to the nearby trees, but were quickly extinguished due to the complete consumption of psionic energy.

Pleased with the effect of the witchcraft, Leo was about to turn to leave, only to notice that there seemed to be something in the ashes, and he bent down to flick the ashes and found a glass crystalline orb from inside. I don't know if it's because of the high temperature burning. Or for other reasons, the surface and interior of the sphere were covered with cracks, and it was no longer possible to see its true face, but thinking of what had happened to the assassin just now, Leo felt that this spherical glass crystal might be the reason.

Holding the last remnants of his body at this moment, Leo turned back to the steam locomotive, and Dio Bronno, who looked a little anxious, immediately got out of the car and saw that the assassin was not beside Leo, stunned, and then asked urgently, "What did you ask?"

"He's a Wakanha. Leo looked at Dio Bronno for something useful in his face.

However, Dio Bronno was completely at a loss, and was stunned for a long time before he remembered what Wakanha was, and said with puzzlement: "Are there even Wakanha people? Aren't they killed by the Sigma Kingdom? If they seek revenge, they should also go to the Sigma Kingdom, why did they come here to kill someone like me who is engaged in ancient civilization research?"

"I think it has something to do with the research you're going to do right now. Leo guessed, "He said you desecrated his civilization." ”

"My research, a desecration of his civilization?" said Dio Bronno, a pensive look, but as if he had thought of something, he returned to the car, took out his backpack, took out a notebook from it, flipped through it and took out a few folded rubbings from it, and then spread them out on the ground.

Leo walked over and looked at the rubbing paper on the ground.

I saw that there were some Turing roots and patterns printed on these rubbing papers, and the person in charge of rubbing was very smart, and the rubbing content was enough to attract people like Dio Bronno, but he didn't reveal too much detail, like a fishing bait.

Dio Bronno searched for a while on the rubbing paper, and soon found what he was looking for, pointed to one of the patterns that was only half rubbed, and said: "It's really related to the Wakanha civilization, they should have found a ruin of the Wakanha civilization." ”

At this time, Leo also recalled the information about the Wakanha civilization in his mind.

Although the official authorities of the world have never recognized the Wakanha civilization as a higher civilization, they only believe that the Wakanha civilization is just a tribal civilization with a small range of influence, just like the countless tribal civilizations on the Moissanite continent.

However, scholars engaged in the study of ancient civilizations believe that the Wakanha civilization is a very advanced civilization, even higher than all the civilizations in the current Vilun world, and all the tribal civilizations in the Moisan Continent should have originated from the Wakanha civilization.

And for the ordinary people of the world of Velon, the Wakanha civilization represents infinite gold, countless wealth.

Books about the Wakanha civilization have always been bestsellers in the countries of Vilon, from research reports to expeditions based on the Wakanha civilization, which are all the most popular reading materials among the people. The reason why ordinary people like to read the books of the Wakanha civilization so much is because of their longing for that era of great adventure, and their fantasies about the legend of that day of getting rich.

The Wakanha civilization is a civilization formed around the ancient city of Wakanha, this civilization is somewhat similar to the Hanosa Confederate, more than a hundred large and small tribes gathered around the Wakanha tribe, formed an alliance, and formed a huge tribal state.

It's just that this country does not have a complete administrative structure from top to bottom, all tribal alliances are very loose, you can join or withdraw, and taxes do not exist, so the academic community also agrees with the official statement of each country, Wakanha is just a civilization, not a country.

As the earliest explorer and colonizer of Moissan, the Kingdom of Sigma is also the earliest discoverer of the Wakanha civilization, as well as the conqueror and destroyer of the Wakanha civilization.

With advanced weapons and a well-trained army, the Kingdom of Sigmar easily conquered the Wakanha civilization, which had not experienced war for a long time, enslaved the Wakanha people, and plundered the wealth of the ancient city of Wakanha.

The worst thing is that the sailors and soldiers of the Sigma Kingdom brought the plague that swept the countries of Verun to the Moisan Continent, in the face of this powerful plague, coupled with the reluctance of the Sigma Kingdom to take the initiative to treat the patients in the Moissanite Continent, a large number of people from various tribes in the Moisan Continent led by the Wakanha people died, and in less than a year, more than one million Wakanha people were almost extinct.

It is precisely because the Wakanha people died too quickly and too early, and the inheritance of civilization was cut off instantly, so that later ancient civilization scholars who wanted to study the Wakanha civilization had no way to start, so now the understanding of the ancient civilization of the entire Velun world academic community about the Wakanha civilization is still only at the most superficial stage, such as architectural style, decorative jewelry, and so on.

However, for those who study ancient languages, the Wakanha civilization undoubtedly provides them with a lot of research materials, because they found that some temples and other builders in the ancient city of Wakanha have a large number of basic and Turing roots of the Gamore language, and these basic roots and Turing roots have never appeared elsewhere.

"What are you going to do now?" Leo went through the information of the Wakanha civilization in his mind, and then said to Dio Bronno, who looked very excited: "It depends on the situation, the Wakanha civilization discovered by your patron is not simple, you have just accepted the invitation, and you have already been targeted, and when you get to the Mozambian continent, I am afraid it will be ......."

"It's because it's not easy to go, and this study may solve a question I had many years ago. "Dio Bronno was completely immersed in the excitement of a new discovery, for him the study of ancient civilizations was far more important than life, and the nervousness of the assassination was completely replaced by excitement.

People like Dio Bronno, Leo has seen a lot in the Earth Federation, these people are real scientists, for these people, studying what they want to study is the only goal of life, as for other things, including life, they don't care.

Leo, who knew that persuasion was useless, thought for a while, and said, "I'll accompany you to the place where you planned to go, see the situation there, and then consider whether to go to the Mozambit Continent, what do you think?"

Dio Bronno also nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's it." ”
