The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Sean Donald watched the void entrance appear in front of him, so he stood up together with the other two senior priests of the Sea God Church who participated in the ceremony in the mission, ready to jump into the void entrance like the others, but at this moment one hand Pressing it on his shoulder, he turned around and saw Leo with a serious expression.

"Wait a minute, we'll go in last." Leo said in a low voice.

Although Sean Donald didn't understand why Leo would do this, he chose to believe in Leo and stopped.

Sean Donald's actions naturally attracted the attention of the senior priests of the Sea God who were also in the mission. Although they had no affiliation with Sean Donald, as the representative of the royal family of the mission, Sean Donald still had a very strong influence. This also indirectly affected some of them, and they also stopped.

When the two senior priests wanted to ask why they had to wait, Leo raised his hand to tell them not to ask any more questions, without any intention of explaining.

The Sea God Church is the state religion in the Kingdom of England. The clergy of the church have an extraordinary status both in the folk and in the government. The senior priests are even more respected. Everywhere they go, they meet respectful people. Everyone showed humility in front of them, which also made these senior priests of the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England develop a superior mentality.

Although there was nothing wrong with Leo's actions, in the eyes of the two senior priests, it seemed like they were humiliating them, which made them feel unhappy, so their original idea of ​​going with Sean Donald changed. , motioned to Sean, seeing Sean shaking his head and choosing to follow Leo's suggestion, he stopped asking further questions and continued to walk towards the entrance of the void, quickly passing those ritualistic but slow-moving offerings. Sacrifice, jumped into the entrance of the void, and was crushed into pieces by the energy inside in Leo's perception, the power of the tampered holy object was also concentrated in the scepter of the Bishop of the Sea God Church just like the power of other people's holy objects .

Regarding the death of the two priests, Leo didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. He had fulfilled his duty of reminder, and the other party still begged for death, so he naturally didn't have to stop it, even for Sean.

As those who participated in the ceremony jumped into the void entrance one after another, there were fewer and fewer people on the altar. Except for the priests who presided over the ceremony, there were only a few people who had not yet entered the void entrance with the holy objects, and At this time, Leo and Sean stood out from the crowd, after all, neither of them belonged to the Sea God Church.

At this time, the bishop presiding over the ceremony also noticed them, and had a slight doubt about why they didn't enter the void, especially when the two priests of the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England had already jumped in. Now, the abnormal behavior of the two of them is enough to make people have many associations.

Leo naturally felt the attention of the bishop. He didn't say anything, but pointed to the scepter in the bishop's hand, and pointed to the holy object in his hand.

Seeing Leo's clear direction, the bishop would still not know that his plan had been exposed. What he thought of in an instant was to silence him, but the idea just came up, and it was immediately extinguished.

Because whether it is Leo or Sean, their identities are not simple, and he even doubts that if he does it himself, he will not be the last one who survives.

For this ceremony, he planned for a long time, and naturally he paid special attention to the two participants who suddenly joined in, Leo and Sean. As the representative of the royal family, Sean was naturally not seen by theocrats like him. But Leo is completely different, Leo is a big trouble in his eyes.

Although a lot of Leo's intelligence data was deliberately deleted for some reason, but the only surviving data can already tell that Leo is unusual, such as the survivors of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, etc. You must know that the Golden Oak No. 9 Street is a well-known vicious place. No one who entered has ever come out, but Leo has come out, and he has come out safe and sound. After the news spread, it also caused unrest in the underground world. Little sensation.

In addition, the relationship between Leo and the Lord of Castle Black is also a trouble for the Bishop. If he fights with him, even if he kills Leo here, he may not be able to leave Castle Black.

For various reasons, the idea of ​​silence was dispelled as soon as it came into being. In addition, he could also feel from Leo's actions that Leo didn't seem to want to expose this matter. holy thing.

"Your Excellency Leo." Thinking of this, the bishop walked up to Leo, ignored Sean who was beside him, and greeted Leo instead.

"My lord bishop." Leo also simply responded.

"Your Excellency Leo, do you have any thoughts on this ceremony?" the bishop asked tentatively.

Leo hinted: "I don't have any opinion on how the ceremony is. I just want to reach the other end safely. Can the bishop guarantee my safety?"

Hearing that Leo's request was so simple, the bishop was a little surprised. When he greeted Leo, he was ready to be threatened by Leo, but Leo just made such a simple request. Let him feel for a moment whether he heard it wrong, or whether Leo was doing some kind of temptation.

It wasn't until Leo repeated the request in a more emphatic tone that the bishop came back to his senses and confirmed that Leo was indeed just going through the door completely.

Regarding this, the bishop hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then touched the sacred object in Leo's hand with the scepter, and Xiao En's sacred object was also touched with the scepter under Leo's reminder.

The moment the scepter touched the holy object, Leo felt that the abnormal power in the holy object completely disappeared, and the holy object naturally became safe.

"I hope you two can come back safely and smoothly." The bishop said simply, then turned and returned to the center of the altar, feeling as if he was worried that Leo would make other requests.

Leo was also not interested in getting involved in what the bishop planned, provided that what the other party did would not cause him any trouble.

"Is it safe?" Sean didn't understand the intention of the bishop's action, but he knew that it had something to do with Leo holding him, so he asked cautiously.

"It's safe for the time being." Leo replied, then changed the subject, and said, "However, after entering there, we don't know if it's safe."

After speaking, Leo walked quickly towards the void entrance as if demonstrating to Sean, and then jumped in without any hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Sean didn't think too much, and jumped in.

After a period of trance, Xiao En felt that his floating feet were stepping on the solid ground, and his body did not recover from the state of losing control of the center of gravity for a while, so he lost his balance instantly and fell heavily on the ground.

"Ah! Damn it!" When he fell, Sean instinctively supported the ground with his palms, but some sharp gravels hidden on the ground easily stabbed his palms, causing him to scream out in pain. Come.

Then a miraculous scene sounded, and some blue light spots suddenly appeared around Sean out of thin air. The wound on his hand also healed quickly under the effect of the light, and the gravel pierced into his palm was squeezed out by the healed wound. It didn't take long for his palm to return to its original state, and he couldn't see the appearance of the previous injury at all.

"It seems true that the royal family of England has the blood of the Sea God. Even a person with such a distant blood relationship as you can use your blood to let the power of the Sea God in this place heal you. If the direct blood of the royal family of England comes Here..." Leo's voice sounded beside Xiao En at this moment, but he didn't finish his sentence, and stopped halfway through.

Sean turned his head and saw Leo walking from one side, and quickly recovered from the panic of coming to a strange place in his heart, and asked curiously: "What will happen if the direct blood of the British royal family comes here?"

"They will immediately become monsters, just like those monsters." Leo answered Sean's question in a flat tone, and then pointed to the front.

Only then did Sean begin to notice his surroundings.

The first thing that caught Xiao En's attention was the sky. This is not so much the sky, but the bottom of the sea, because the sky he saw was sea water, and he could even see all kinds of animals swimming in it through the sea water, which he couldn't call out. The name of the sea monster.

The second is the surrounding environment. Obviously, the surrounding area should be completely dark. Even if some light is transmitted from the sea water, the light will not be very strong. According to the situation of normal people, you should not be able to see anything around, but the fact is that Xiao En can see everything around clearly, as if under the sunlight, the only difference is that the scene he sees is slightly dim, as if covered with a layer of gray transparent paper.

Because the line of sight is not blocked, Xiao En can see the surrounding terrain clearly. He is on the top of a high mountain at the moment. Looking around, he can see that there are many similar peaks around. What does it look like, their heights are exactly the same, it feels like they have been flattened by a knife.

The place Leo pointed to just now was on the slope of one of the mountain peaks, and there were some huge monsters entrenched on that hillside. The size of the monster was equivalent to a small apartment building. The thorns, each of the thorns seems to have something crawling on it, because the distance is too far, it is not clear.

"Those monsters?" Although Sean was already mentally prepared, after seeing those monsters, he still felt a kind of inexplicable horror, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness, so he knelt down on the ground, low Nodding his head, he didn't slow down for a long time.

"Drink it!" After discovering Sean's abnormality, Leo took out a bottle of sobriety potion he had made and handed it to Sean.

Sean took the potion with trembling hands, drank it without hesitation, and soon a cool feeling came from his stomach and spread to the whole body. The original drowsiness and nausea disappeared instantly, and he also recovered. After coming over, the mind became extraordinarily clear.

After returning to normal, Sean stood up and couldn't help but glanced at the monsters curiously, but this time he didn't feel any abnormalities anymore, as if the monsters that almost made him faint just now had turned into similar roadside monsters. Ordinary things like stones.

Leo explained the effect of the medicine, and said: "This bottle of potion can keep you in a clear state for three days. As long as you don't see higher life forms beyond your mental tolerance, you won't have any discomfort." Followed He also looked at the monsters and said, "They should be members of the Sea God Church who came here before. They have some Sea God blood on their bodies like you. In the end, because of the Sea God power here, they lost control of their blood and turned into monsters."

"They also have the blood of the Sea God?" Xiao En was stunned and said in surprise.

Leo explained: "The royal family of England may be the purest family of the Sea God's blood, but that doesn't mean they are the only Sea God's blood. Possesses a trace of Seagod blood."

While explaining, his gaze shifted to behind Sean, and he saw a semicircular arch in the center of the top of the mountain. The arch had no fancy decorations, it was just a very smooth stone arch.

"Did we come out from there?" Sean couldn't help asking even though he knew the answer in his heart.

"Yeah." Leo simply responded.

"It looks very ordinary, it's just a stone arch." Xiao En walked to the side of the stone gate and stretched out his hand to try to touch the stone gate. Finding nothing abnormal, he put his palm on the stone gate, wiped it, and said in surprise : "It's so slippery! It's slipperier than any polished stone I've ever seen."

Leo didn't respond, he just walked up to the arch, his eyes scanned back and forth on the arch, and at the same time, the mental net was also covering the arch.

Compared with Sean, Leo saw more unusual features of this arch. The biggest unusual feature was that the semicircle of the arch was a perfect semicircle. Leo didn't know how perfect the semicircle was. , but what is certain is that even with the limit of his mental network, he couldn't find any flaws on it, including stone flaws.

He doesn't know how long the arch has been standing here, but he can be sure that it is definitely earlier than the recorded time in the world of Velen, so according to normal circumstances, the arch has been eroded for such a long time, and the general stone has already disappeared. It should be weathered, eroded and pockmarked, not smooth like this.

At this time, Xiao En suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, look over there!"

Following the direction of Sean's finger, Leo saw a huge palace composed of countless polygonal stones and stone pillars standing behind the angle between two high mountains. Ou Du could only see the top of the palace, and was completely unclear about the situation under the roof of the palace, but they were sure that there was a battle going on there.
