The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When he was in the Kingdom of England, Leo was already certain that the Kingdom of England had mastered some of the technological tools from the cosmic civilization. They had been able to transform an underground wreckage into a national bank, and they must be able to find a lot of money from these wreckages. technology tools.

What's more, after the Kingdom of England became the overlord of the sea, it searched a large number of prehistoric civilization relics from all over the world on the grounds of archaeology and other academics. When countries discovered abnormalities and began to stop the trade of such relics, the world's known prehistoric civilization relics exceeded half. All of the above were seized by the Kingdom of England, and there must be some scientific and technological items of the universe civilization that can still be used.

However, judging from the fact that the Kingdom of England did not even fully understand the wreckage of the spaceship transformed into the National Bank, the science and technology of the cosmic civilization mastered by the Kingdom of England may be very limited, and it may even be due to some reasons that some high-speed civilizations were unintentionally triggered. Technological items, knowing how to use these high-tech items, but not really mastering these technologies.

However, for Vinylon World, a world of steam technology, the scientific and technological tools of cosmic civilization are like artifacts, and they are still artifacts that can be used at any time without obtaining permission from the gods, so do you understand the work of these technological tools? The principle is not the most important.

In order to verify his conjecture, Leo went to Randall Port again, found Sean Donald, and used the excuse of discussing the protection of the ceremony to come to Sean, and then during the conversation, only by Observe with your eyes to find the technological items of cosmic civilization that may exist on the opponent.

The reason why Leo didn't directly use the spiritual net to search and detect was mainly because some technological items in the universe would have a triggered reaction to the spiritual net. If Sean wore such an item, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary abnormal movements .

Although it is impossible to search carefully both inside and outside like the Spirit Net, Leo found at least four cosmic civilization items that have undergone some appearance modifications on Xiao En just by observing with the naked eye.

These four items include both the energy protection belt for defense and the death beam emitter for offense. In terms of defense and attack power alone, Sean Donald's overall combat power at this moment is no better than a fourth-level psyker. How much worse, of course, the premise is that the psychic doesn't understand the means of spiritual attacks. After all, the technological items on Sean's body focus on physical and energy defenses, and their defense against mysterious and unpredictable spiritual attacks is almost zero.

Leo felt that Sean should have taken this weakness into consideration, so he must be wearing a Holy Artifact of the Church of the Sea God that can lower the mental attack.

However, Xiao En, who has achieved this level of offensive and defensive means, is still not confident in the safety of the sacrificial ceremony, and even took out a technological item of cosmic civilization as a trade item, which shows how uneasy Sean's heart has reached.

This also made Leo suspect that Sean should have known what would happen after the sacrificial ceremony, so he felt such panic.

When Leo collected the books of the Sea God Church before, he also saw the relevant materials written by the clergy who had participated in the ceremony before. In those materials, the things before the ceremony were recorded very well, and the content was very detailed. Even Lei Ou It is not difficult for Ou to reconstruct the entire sacrificial ceremony from these records, but after the ceremony is completed, they and those selected people entered the Sea God Temple, the related records become extremely chaotic, and the words are messy It was unbearable, as if a lunatic was recording in his own language, even Leo couldn't understand the content.

It can be seen that after entering the Sea God Temple, these senior priests of the Sea God Church who participated in the ceremony were immediately disturbed by some kind of force, which disturbed their minds and put their spirits in an unpredictable and disordered state. Like a madman.

And any high-ranking clergyman who participated in the ceremony must have been blessed by the Sea God, and has the ability to use at least one kind of divine magic, which means that their souls have the protection of the Sea God, and it is reasonable to say that they will not be affected by this kind of madness. and this influence will end when they leave the Sea God Temple and return to the world of Velen, without causing any damage to their bodies and spirits. Think carefully about the existence that can do this, except for those who believe in Apart from Seagod, probably no other god can do it.

Leo is not very clear about why Poseidon confuses the memories of his clergy and conceals everything about the Poseidon Temple, but Leo can be sure that the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England should have knowledge about the Sea God Temple that the Landauer Sea God Church does not have. Based on real information, they might even know what was stored in the Sea God Temple, so they sent Xiao En to participate in the sacrifice ceremony, and took the opportunity to find something they wanted in the Sea God Temple.

If this is the case, then the Kingdom of England should also be very aware of the dangers they will encounter in the Sea God Temple, and Sean, who has read the relevant information, will still feel unsafe despite all kinds of protection, so he seeks Thunder. O help.

After discovering this, Leo's attitude towards participating in the sacrificial ceremony changed slightly. After finishing the conversation with Sean hastily, he returned to Castle Black and told Sylvia his deduction. .

"Are you really planning to participate in this sacrificial ceremony?" Sylvia frowned after hearing this, and asked with a little worry.

"Well." Leo nodded, and said: "Since we have reached an agreement with Sean, naturally we cannot break the contract, and even if there is no such thing as Sean, I will participate in this ceremony and observe the lighthouse at close range. What is the relationship between Turing's radical circle and the sacrificial ceremony, and see if it can be cracked?"

Sylvia said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to do this at all. If you feel that the lighthouse is dangerous to us, we can leave Castle Black and live in other places."

Leo shook his head and said calmly, "I'm curious too."

Hearing what Leo said, Sylvia didn't continue to persuade her. Although she could use Tolan as an excuse to continue to persuade, and she was sure that Leo would eventually agree to give up participating in the sacrificial ceremony, but she didn't do so. She doesn't want herself and little Tolan to be a burden and bondage to Leo, just like she doesn't want Leo to be a bondage to her own burden. The main reason for the sense of couples.

Because he felt that this sacrificial ceremony would be unusual and there were some unexpected dangers, Leo also stopped researching some things in the next few days and began to prepare some useful things for this operation, such as potions, such as rune traps .

At the same time, he handed over to Sylvia all the things he didn't need, including those energy weapons that he used to use as cards but didn't use them.

After knowing how to use those energy weapons, Sylvia was very surprised, because in her opinion, these energy weapons were like divine weapons, and she felt that Leo kept these weapons for the sacrificial ceremony The danger encountered is more appropriate.

But Sylvia's suggestion was rejected by Leo as soon as it was put forward, because if the danger was encountered in the Sea God Temple, it must be related to the Sea God, and although those energy weapons are powerful, it is obviously difficult to deal with the god's malice. Far from enough.

In addition, the ultimate power of those energy weapons is not necessarily stronger than Leo's spiritual skills, and it is not worth mentioning in terms of flexibility and change. Therefore, when he encounters danger, his use of spiritual power may be better than that of energy weapons. More effective.

Another more important point is that in some environments, energy weapons may not be able to play a role, or even cannot play a role. In that case, an energy weapon is not as good as a short knife.

In this way, the days passed day by day, and soon the day of the sacrificial ceremony was ushered in. The Sea God Church had already arranged the altar for the sacrificial ceremony the day before, and all the clergy were in place. These clergy were all People with rich experience in sacrificial ceremonies, because many of them have been to the Sea God Temple during the sacrificial ceremonies.

Under Leo's suggestion, Sylvia had already emptied Castle Black two days ago, leaving only a few servants and guards to take care of the closed Castle Black, and she herself brought two little guys and her hand I went down to the villa in the outskirts of Randall, temporarily settled there, and waited for the ceremony to end.

Sylvia's actions obviously surprised and puzzled Randall Sea God Church. This is not the first time they have held a sacrificial ceremony. Because of the opening of an exclusive passage, those who participated in the sacrificial ceremony can bypass Castle Black directly enters the altar from the passage to hold the ceremony, which will not have any impact on Castle Black, so when the ceremony was held before, Castle Black also operated as usual, and there was no move to empty it.

Now Sylvia's behavior of emptying Castle Black and moving to the villa by herself seems to imply what will happen to their sacrifice ceremony, which makes many people feel very unhappy and offended.

Fortunately, these priests of the Sea God Church were not stupid enough to go to the villa to question Sylvia's intentions. Of course, this was also because although Sylvia went to the villa, Leo stayed. They all live in the lighthouse next to the altar.

On the altar, another bishop-level figure from Randall Church, who presided over the ceremony, was making a final inspection of the things arranged and the people involved. At this time, Sean Donald went to the lighthouse and called Leo to attend the ceremony. He also tried to find out the reasons for Sylvia's actions from Leo.

As a result, Sean naturally didn't get any useful information. He just said a word of caution, and left the lighthouse. He came to a special seat for participants next to the altar, and sat among the people of the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England. Sean followed closely behind and sat down next to Leo.

At this time, the ceremony officially began. The priests around the altar began to sing the hymn of the sea god, and the other priests around the altar walked around the altar, blowing the conch shells in their hands while walking, and at the same time The nautical lantern he was carrying was also swinging with some regularity.

Standing in front of the altar, the bishop of the Sea God Church recited a prayer in praise of the Sea God. Although his voice was not loud, it possessed a special power that could convey the content of the recitation to everyone's ears.

When the people in the Sea God Church were completely immersed in the praise that the bishop recited and resonated together, Leo was very calm. After checking that Sean, who was also caught in the resonant reaction, did not have any major problems After that, he began to manipulate the general-purpose recorder in his hand to collect subtle changes in the surrounding energy.

Soon Leo discovered that the surrounding third element factor was increasing at an extremely fast speed. The third element factor was a very special energy factor, and the appearance of this energy factor also represented an active space rift around , but under normal circumstances, the third element factor will only exist stably in the universe, and there will be no phenomenon such as a sudden surge of the third element factor in a certain place, but the situation that Leo discovered now obviously violates this universe. Existence state theorems of energy factors.

It's just that Leo didn't think too much about this matter, but focused on more important things, that is, the space crack that appeared on the altar.

Although due to the limitation caused by the environment here, Leo could not clearly see the emergence of the space rift, but the data collected on the general-purpose recorder pointed out the location of the space rift very clearly, and through the constantly changing energy data, judged The state of leaving the space rift is very unstable.

At the same time, the monitoring device arranged by Leo on the top of the lighthouse also fed back the operation of the Turing Radical Circle in the lighthouse to Leo. Through the two miniature wizard wonders pasted behind Leo's ears, let him It's like standing next to a searchlight and watching the various Turing radical circles hidden there work.

The chaotic Turing radical circle hidden in the deepest part also started to work at this time, and the whole process was completely captured by Leo.

"It turns out to be like this!" After all, Leo has already studied this Turing radical circle very deeply, and even cracked part of it. After the device saw the operation process of Turing's radical circle, it seemed to be inspired, and quickly connected the previous chaotic research materials into a whole, forming a complete closed loop.

After understanding the core Turing radical mystery, Leo began to observe the operation of the Turing radical in the entire lighthouse, and let himself start to calculate what kind of follow-up changes would occur after the ceremony went on.
