The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Compared with the searchlight design manuscript and parts forging process, the content recorded in the other two books attracted Leo's attention.

Judging from the superficial text of these two materials, these two materials are just records of the construction process of some searchlights. From the above, we can see some details of the production, installation and adjustment of searchlights and accidents that occurred at that time, because the records are very detailed. , so even after hundreds of years have passed, future generations can still completely restore the entire construction process based on the above content, and it is not difficult to even rebuild one exactly.

However, for Leo, the production method of the searchlight is not what he is interested in. What he really cares about is the real information hidden below the surface of the two books, and these hidden real information are actually the lighthouse designer. and wizard notes left by the builders.

When he got this material, Leo felt something was wrong, not that he felt any mysterious power in these two materials, in fact, the materials and craftsmanship of these two books are no different from ordinary books , is not the unique way of making wizard notes for tower wizards, and the reason why he feels something is wrong is because he feels that the thickness of each page of these two materials is a little thicker than that of the other two materials, and the materials they use The materials are all the same, so he immediately thought of the mystery hidden in these two materials.

After reading the surface content of the two materials, Leo began to try to find the hidden content of the two materials. The search method is also very simple, which is to separate each page of the book glued with a special adhesive, and then Make some developer and coat each separated blank.

Not long after the developer was applied, the real content was revealed on those blank papers, and after Leo read the above content, he judged from the symbols and patterns related to witchcraft on the two books. The hidden content should be the wizard's notes, but the problem is that he can't understand the above content.

It's not that the content of these two wizard notebooks is so profound, but the content inside is chaotic, as if a lunatic is recording what he sees and thinks, and the previous paragraph is still describing the casting of a certain witchcraft The details, the next paragraph of text is describing a certain special substance. In addition, there is a large paragraph in these texts, a large paragraph of articles made up of more than a dozen ancient tribal languages, even if it is a language like Leo who is proficient in various characters Master, it is very difficult to read these articles.

However, Leo didn't feel displeased by it. On the contrary, he found it very interesting. Compared with the kind of clear answers, this kind of puzzle game that requires racking his brains to gain something is one of the few games he has now. One of the fun.

After seeing these two hidden wizard notes, Leo's first thought was that the person who built the lighthouse was affected by the distortion force and had fallen into a state of madness, so he recorded this chaotic note.

But after reading it twice, he can confirm that even if the mind of the high tower wizard who built the lighthouse was affected by the twisting force here, he can still retain part of his sanity. Gadgets that can help future generations interpret notes.

These gadgets are some very distinctive symbols, and each symbol is marked with a different sequence of Gamore language basic radicals. By combining the preceding and following words corresponding to the symbols in order, you can piece together a barely Text that can be read normally.

It’s just that there aren’t many gadgets that help with interpretation. Apart from the fact that the builder of the lighthouse is in a state of no-mind most of the time, the more important thing is that after he wakes up, he is also unable to decipher what he wrote when he was without a mind. those contents.

For Leo, being able to decipher a part of the content is already very good, especially in this part of the content there is a small amount of experience of the tower wizard arranging the Turing root, as well as a lot of narration and interpretation of what happened to him.

Although there is not a lot of experience in arranging Turing radicals in that part, it only talks about two kinds of Turing radicals with different effects composed of four basic radicals, but these few combination methods have included The tower wizard's fundamental ideas and methods of arranging Turing's radicals were fully displayed in front of him, so that he had effective reference materials when deciphering those Turing's radicals in the core area of ​​the lighthouse, which is like It is like a little candlelight in the dark. Even if the light of candlelight cannot tear the darkness, it can guide the people who see it in the right direction.

And the other part of the narration that looks like a last word made Leo feel that there might be a deeper existence involved in the construction of this lighthouse, because in the experience narration left by the high tower wizard who built the lighthouse, the first sentence explained A key question was raised, that is, the lighthouse was not built by him, but was built after being controlled by a certain existence. Unfortunately, the whole text did not mention what the mysterious existence that controlled him was.

From the text, Leo learned that the mysterious existence of the wizard who controls the tower does not come from Wanghai Cliff, but from the imperial capital Winterlin City. The process of his being controlled is also very simple and straightforward. In the end, it was as if the believers of the church were inspired by the gods, and the whole person fell into a trance.

In this trance state, he did not completely lose his perception of the outside world. In fact, he can always see, hear, and smell everything around him, and he can also think like a normal person. The only thing he can't do is Controlling the body, it was as if there was an extra soul in his body.

So he is like a bird in a cage, watching his body being controlled to do various things, such as leaving Winterfell City to go to Randall in the south, and when he arrives at Randall, go directly to see Randall The high-level of the Sea God Church, and then persuade the high-level to build a lighthouse.

By the time he got out of that state of captivity and regained control of his body, several months had passed, and all the materials for the lighthouse's construction had been prepared, and the work could start just waiting for him to select a location.

Originally, according to the high tower wizard's idea, after regaining his body control, he would leave here immediately and find other high tower wizards to solve his problems.

It's just that his behavior has obviously been predicted by the unknown being who controlled his body before. While transferring the control of his body, he also notified the Sea God Church to send people to monitor him very closely to prevent him from leaving.

Although this request confused the Sea God Church very much, the Sea God Church probably felt that it would not do any harm to them, so they still faithfully implemented it. So when the tower wizard woke up, the place where he lived was arranged with a sea god. The holy vessel of the church, and there were as many as eight paladins of the Sea God Church guarding the surroundings with the holy vessel of the church, not giving him a chance to escape at all.

In this case, the tower wizard has no other choice at all, and he also really wants to know who is the mysterious being who controls him, why he built a lighthouse on Wanghai Cliff, and what are the secrets hidden in Wanghai Cliff Wait, so after confirming that he could not escape, he could only compromise and honestly search for the foundation of the lighthouse.

Afterwards, the process of finding the foundation became a mystical struggle between the tower wizard and the unknown existence that controlled him. Every time he found a suitable foundation location and ordered people to start laying the foundation, the unknown existence would appear. Will regain control of his body, book him back and find a new location.

After the tower wizard regained control, he found that the location had changed, and the new location was indeed more suitable for building a lighthouse than the one he was looking for before. However, he did not compromise on this, but continued to search for a more suitable one in a competitive manner. point, and that unknown existence will be overthrown again at this time, and find a better place.

In this way, the tower wizard and the unknown existence each controlled their bodies for a period of time. After repeatedly searching for more than a dozen lighthouse foundation locations, they finally found the current location, leaving behind the abandoned foundation locations that Leo discovered later.

When the lighthouse was built later, that unknown existence never appeared again. The main body of the lighthouse was completely designed by the tower wizard after reducing the size of the wizard tower and reducing some facilities.

It wasn't until the lighthouse was about to be built and the searchlight was installed that the unknown existence suddenly appeared and regained control of the tower wizard's body.

The control this time is also different from the previous control. Even if it was controlled before, the tower wizard can still know what is happening outside the body, and can passively hear the sound and see the image, but after being controlled this time, he described It was as if I had fallen into the dead darkness, there was nothing, no sound or image, the position of the body was neither in the air nor on the ground, the whole person just floated there, even the thoughts stopped Down until he regained control of his body, months had passed and the lighthouse had been fully constructed.

Driven by curiosity, the tower wizard went to the searchlight at the top of the lighthouse, checked the placement of the searchlight, and naturally saw the Turing radicals on the searchlight, but it is a pity that the text records that can be interpreted are already here it's over.

Although there is no description in these deciphered texts, Leo can vaguely guess that the chaotic data that cannot be deciphered should be the work of the unknown existence that controls the wizard of the tower. And know.

After learning how the searchlight of the lighthouse is placed, Leo has no hope of cracking the secret of the core of the lighthouse, because the arrangement of the unusual Turing radicals at the core of the lighthouse is not the work of the tower wizard at all. Rather, it is the work of the unknown being who controls the wizards of the Tower.

Although he made such an inference, Leo did not really give up cracking the core secrets of the lighthouse. He went to the top of the lighthouse again, found the Turing roots that had not been cracked, and then interpreted the words left by the wizard of the tower. The arrangement of the two Turing radicals, while using this technique to interpret the messy Turing radicals in front of me.

After a day and night of reading, Leo had a look of surprise on his face, because he found that although these chaotic and twisted Turing radicals are completely different from the unique Turing radical arrangement method mastered by the tower wizard , but when he tried various deciphering methods to no avail, he tried to enter a state of chaotic thinking, and then used the Turing root arrangement method to decipher in this state, it turned out to be very smooth The interpretation of the two Turing radicals.

However, when he began to analyze the mystery of the power contained in these two Turing radicals, he found that all the basic radicals that make up the Turing radicals are in conflict with each other. According to normal circumstances, these basic radicals absolutely cannot form a A Turing root that can produce supernatural powers.

But the problem was that the two Turing roots were placed in front of him, and the energy fluctuations emanating from them were not hallucinations, and the interpretation suddenly fell into a bottleneck again.

Leo did not continue to stay in the lighthouse to solve the mystery. Although long-term thinking did not make him feel uncomfortable physically, he was already a little tired mentally.

After returning to the main castle from the lighthouse, he ate something, then went to Sylvia's study, and told Sylvia what he had gained from the day and night.

After listening carefully, Sylvia, who was a bystander, quickly grasped an important point and said: "Since you were caught in that chaotic state of thinking, you deciphered the two roots of Turing, Then if you want to thoroughly analyze the details of the power contained in the two Turing roots, I am afraid that you also need to be in that state of chaotic thinking."

Leo was not surprised by the key point discovered by Sylvia, because he had already discovered it and considered it, so as soon as Sylvia finished speaking, he explained: "Do this It's not a good idea. That kind of chaotic thinking state has too much influence on people. Even after I get out of that state, it will take some time to adjust before I can recover. If I fall into that kind of thinking for too long, I will Worried that I'd go completely insane."

"Then are you still going to crack the secret there?" Sylvia asked with concern after seeing Leo's serious expression.

"Of course, it's very interesting." Leo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't try it if I'm not sure."

Sylvia nodded, noncommittal, then she took out a folder from the drawer beside her and handed it to Leo, saying, "The people from the Kingdom of England have arrived."

"It's already here? So fast." Leo didn't look through the resulting file immediately, but asked, "How did they get here?"

"Sail, a ship..." Sylvia stopped in the middle of her sentence, as if she was looking for a suitable word to describe the ship from the Kingdom of England. In the end, she could only find a reference and said: " That is a ship similar to the relics of prehistoric civilization we saw in the glacial lake of Deliyat," he said, pointing to the direction of the sea, and said, "If you stand on the edge of the lighthouse altar and look towards the port, Should be able to see the ship."
