The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Curiosity is a good thing, but you can't have too much curiosity," Leo looked at the excited Sean, and said calmly: "The battle over there has nothing to do with us, and we don't know what it is. Under what circumstances, rash contact will only bring danger to ourselves, the most important thing for us now is to know where we are, and is it safe here?"

As he spoke, a crystal psionic gun combined with crystal magic suddenly condensed in his hand, and he swung it towards an open space on the right.

The crystallized psionic gun was a weakened version of the crystallized soul gun. Not only was its power weakened, but it also lost the special effect that could harm the target's spirit or soul.

However, while the power is greatly weakened, the speed of casting this spiritual skill has also increased. Even when Leo needs it, he can use it as a high-speed burst firearm, and in order to make up for part of the lost power, he Added a psionic ability called Psionic Cone to the Crystallized Psionic Lance, which can help the Psionic Lance greatly increase its penetration.

I saw that after Leo swung out the psionic gun that was condensed in about a second, a ray of light flashed in the air, and then he saw the crystallized psionic gun shining with silver-blue brilliance piercing the ground not far away. In the air, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and a dead body appeared out of thin air on the gravel lawn that was originally an open space.

This creature is about the size of a pack animal, with six tentacled limbs, a layer of rock-like scales covering its body, and six pairs of jewel-like eyeballs on it, while the monster's mouth grows on the top of its head. Then some spiky, thorny tongues protruded from its mouth, looking terrifying.

Although Sean had seen many monsters, he was still frightened by this monster. Obviously, before he entered here, he never thought that he would be in danger so soon.

Leo stepped forward and checked the monster's body. He didn't check to see if the monster was dead, but to check the killing effect of the crystallized psionic gun on the monster.

Although Leo combined crystallization magic to create this psionic ability, he has only used animals in the forest on the outskirts of Castle Black to test the lethality of this psionic ability. He has never tried it on people with extraordinary power or mutant power. The real power, and now this monster just gave him the best reference.

As he expected, the wound on the monster's surface seemed to be pierced by an arm-sized crystalline psionic gun, and it seemed that the place where it was pierced was not a vital point. It is reasonable to say that it would not kill him instantly, but in fact The moment the crystallized psionic gun pierced into the target's body, the psionic impact contained in the psionic gun had already erupted, crushing all the relatively fragile organs in the monster's body. This was the real reason for the monster's death.

The crystallized psionic gun, which combines crystal magic and several psionic skills, has already satisfied Leo in terms of power, but what Leo is more satisfied with is the potential of the crystallized psionic gun, because the crystallized psionic gun integrates There are higher-level versions of several psionic skills. For example, Psychic Shock has a psionic storm that can only be used by psykers of level 7 and above. Once he reaches level 7, psykers will use a higher version If spiritual skills are integrated into it, then the power of the crystallized spiritual gun will definitely not be inferior to strategic spiritual skills such as the crystallized soul gun and thunder gun.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Leo's face, Sean on the side immediately asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Well, it's dead." Leo put away his smile and responded flatly.

Sean suddenly felt a little speechless, but he couldn't refute it, because Leo's answer didn't seem to be wrong, the monster was indeed dead.

"Do you know where we are now?" Leo asked suddenly.

"This should be the Mountain of Despair, and there is still a long distance from the sacred temple of Mount Santa Trullo that we should reach." Sean looked around and said with an extremely ugly face: "We shouldn't appear in this dangerous place. place, we should appear in the sacrificial temple, we can see the temple of the sea god when we come out of the temple, and then we can..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped and followed him to quickly check his body for After protecting all kinds of items for myself, after finding no abnormalities, he was slightly relieved, and at the same time looked at Leo vigilantly, and said, "Your Majesty Leo, you should have done something to me just now, right?"

Leo didn't deny it, nodded and admitted: "It's not a trick, I just used a simple guiding technique. If there are some things that you don't want to say, I can't influence you." He followed him and looked at him thoughtfully. Sean said: "It seems that although the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England has not performed the Sea God Sacrifice Ceremony, your understanding of this place is probably far better than that of Randall's Sea God Church. Knowing your location, and having a clear place name, I am a little curious about how you know these things?"

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Sean hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether he should tell Leo his source of information. After thinking twice, he decided to clarify the matter, because he knew very well that if suspicion arose, then After that, there will definitely be problems in his cooperation with Leo, which will eventually affect his purpose of coming here. This is not the result he hoped to see on this trip.

Sean, who wanted to understand, answered Leo's question, saying: "All the information I know about this place comes from Randall's Sea God Church."

"Impossible!" Leo frowned, and said, "I have read all the books of Randall Sea God Church, and even some materials they regard as taboo, but I have never seen any information related to this place."

Sean was also a little surprised that Leo was able to read all the books and materials of Randall Sea God Church, but he quickly put away his surprised expression and curiosity, and continued to answer: "If you look at the If you have read all the books and materials of the Sea God Church in Randall, then you must have seen the documents about the world where the Sea God Temple is located written by the survivors who returned from the temple after the sacrificial ceremony. Afterwards, Randall Sea God Church will rewrite a few copies and hand them over to the Sea God Church churches in various places for safekeeping, including the Sea God Church in the kingdom."

Leo knew from the information Sean mentioned that some of the people who entered the Sea God Temple during the sacrificial ceremony would return to the world of Velen, and these people lost their memory about the Sea God Temple due to incomprehensible reasons, but after that they also Some memories will be restored due to some inexplicable reasons, but the contents of these memories cannot be dictated by them, they can only be written down, and the written things are all chaotic and disordered, and cannot be interpreted, but because of this and Sea God Temple It is related, so it will still be carefully preserved by the Sea God Temple and sealed as archives.

"The information? Of course I have read it, but the content on it is all chaotic and disorderly, let alone..." Leo suddenly realized something, looked at Sean with some surprise, and said, "Could it be that the Kingdom of England The Church of the Sea God can decipher the content of those chaotic and disorderly materials."

Sean nodded, and said: "Yes, those materials can be deciphered, and the intelligence materials I have come from there, but it is not the Church of Sea God who can decipher, but the Royal Family of England."

Hearing this, Leo seemed to have understood, and said, "It's the Sea God's Scepter."

Sean admitted: "Yes, as long as people with the blood of the Sea God hold the Sea God Scepter and read those chaotic materials, they will be able to see the hidden real content, and the purer the blood, the more content they will get. .”

Leo heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "Aren't there any side effects?"

Sean smiled wryly, and said with lingering fear: "Of course, people who do this will fall into a state of madness for a period of time, and some will never recover from this state."

Speaking of this, another flash of hatred flashed across Sean's face. Apparently a person whom he valued encountered an accident because of reading those chaotic materials. Leo didn't ask about this, but just stood quietly by the side.

Sean quickly restrained the hatred in his heart, and continued: "After paying a lot of money, the royal family of England and the Sea God Church finally compiled all the content, so compared to Randall's Sea God Church, The Kingdom's Sea God Church and the royal family need to know more about the world where the Sea God Temple is located."

"How many materials have you read about this place?" Leo asked.

"Not a lot, but it's enough." Sean responded, then hesitated, and said, "Let me tell you everything I know! This way you can better understand the situation here and help you better." I found that thing."

After speaking, Sean told Leo all the information he knew about the world of Sea God Temple.

Leo was also a little surprised that Sean was so decisive in handing over these precious materials for free, but this was in line with his wishes and saved him the trouble of obtaining these materials by other means.

Although Sean talked about a lot, there are only two points to sum it up. One is the situation of the Sea God Temple, and the other is the situation around the temple, such as the mountain of despair where they are now.

According to what Xiao En said, the underwater world where the entire Sea God Temple is located is very large, almost comparable to the Velen Continent. Those Sea God believers who returned to the world of Velen from here only talked about the situation around the Sea God Temple. , Places like the Mountain of Despair are already the most marginal areas they know. In their words, this is the wasteland of Velen World. It is full of dangers. Every seemingly ordinary thing is a ferocious hunter. They all want to eat those who dare to enter here.

As for most of the Sea God cultists who came to this world before, they were able to go back safely because their range of activities was in the safe area around the Sea God Temple. Looking for trouble is generally not life-threatening.

And there are only two safest places for these Poseidon believers, one is the Santa Truong Mountain next to the Poseidon Temple, and the other is also located next to the Poseidon Temple, which is called the ocean called the Belan Inner Sea.

What's interesting is that this world is not without life. On the contrary, there are a lot of life in this world that are extremely strange to the people of Velen World. The monster who died under Leo's crystallized psionic gun just now is one of them. In the more peripheral areas, there are more monsters of this kind.

Of course, the life in this world is not limited to these beastly monsters. There are a large number of intelligent life forms in the Santa Truc Mountain and the Belan Inner Sea next to the Poseidon Temple, and humans only occupy a small part of these intelligent life forms. The intelligent life forms with the largest number are the Eldar living in Mount Santa Trullo and the Sea Clan living in the Inner Sea of ​​Belan.

Sean didn't have any detailed information about the Spirit Race, Sea Race and other non-human races. He just knew that the Spirit Race and the Sea Race originated from the inner sea of ​​Belan, but later they split for unknown reasons. The Spirit Race left the sea and lived on the mountains. , the Sea Clan stayed in the sea.

The only thing that is certain is that this unknown reason should not involve the Sea God, because according to a legend recorded in the data, the Sea God still seems to care about the Spirit Race, and even raised his dormant temple from the inner sea to the Holy Spirit Race for the Spirit Race. Next to Mount Truu.

After listening to what Sean said, Leo had a general understanding of the world, but he also had several ways to deal with the current situation in his mind, but he still felt a little puzzled about one thing, and asked: "In those Did the information mention how they got back to Wei Lun?"

Sean replied truthfully: "No, they only remember that they went to the Sea God Temple in the end, so the way to return to Velen should be in the Sea God Temple."

After hearing this, Leo asked again: "What kind of qualifications do I need to go to the Sea God Temple?"

Sean recalled it carefully, and said: "No need, the information mentions that there are no guards at the Sea God Temple, and any creature here can get close to the Sea God Temple."

Leo pondered for a moment, then asked curiously: "Can you tell me what exactly you want to find here?"

Sean hesitated for a moment, and said, "The sea monster snail."

"Concha snail?" Leo was a little puzzled, not because he had never heard of this kind of thing, but because it was recorded in his database, but the information was not serious information, but some A play written from folklore.

The content of the play is very simple and old-fashioned, that is, an ordinary sailor on the sea accidentally got a conch that can summon a sea monster, and then he became the most powerful captain on the sea by virtue of this sea monster, and finally won the princess of the kingdom The favor embraces the beauty.

Thinking of this, Leo seemed to have noticed something, looked at Sean and said, "The sailor in the story..."

"It's my ancestor, the founder of the Donald family." Sean nodded and admitted.
