The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What a magical place?" Xiao En stared at the fire tree in front of him dumbfounded, stretched out his hand to catch the fire debris falling from the air, felt the slight heat from his palm, and couldn't help sighing.

"What should we do next?" Leo didn't have much interest in Huoshu, he just glanced at it, and immediately got back to business and asked.

"Huh? Next step?" Sean came back to his senses, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing Xiao En's expression, Leo couldn't help guessing: "Could it be that you haven't thought about what to do after entering here?"

"According to the original plan, the place where we came out should be Mount Santa Truce," Sean quickly explained: "When we come out, we will bear the mark of the sea god on our bodies, and the exit of Mount Santa Trullo will be arranged by the Spirit Race here." The reception staff, they will receive us and arrange everything, we just need to make some unreasonable demands on them, but now..." He said with a wry smile, and said: "I don't know at all How to take the next step, maybe going to Santa Trullo Mountain can have the answer."

"Are you planning to go to Santa Trullo Mountain to meet the Spirit Race people, and then reveal your identity?" Leo sighed and asked, "But the question is how can you prove your identity?"

"I have..." Sean was about to say something, but nothing came out.

Leo knew very well that Sean wanted to say that he had the mark, but the problem was that the place they came out was not the entrance of Santa Truc Mountain, but the entrance of Despair Mountain, and there was no way for people to leave a mark on that entrance. The mark of the sea god, that is to say, the two of them are now intruders without identity.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Sean asked helplessly.

Leo pondered for a moment and asked, "How do we go back?"

Sean didn't understand why Leo suddenly asked this question, but he still answered truthfully: "There is a time limit for us to come to this world. When the time is up, we will be sent back directly by this world, but everyone stays for a limited time. Same, some days, some more than ten days, so the time of departure is different." He paused for a while, and said with some doubts: "However, one thing is strange is that no matter how long the time interval between departures is, In the end, they all returned to Wanghai Cliff at the same time, and the time there was less than a day, and at most it was no more than five days."

"Can everyone go back?" Leo couldn't help asking, thinking of the missing devout believers of the Sea God Church in Randall City recorded in the files he had seen before.

Sean shook his head and said, "I don't know the details."

Sean didn't lie. The largest part of all his information about this place comes from the records left by the ancestors of the Donald family, and the other part comes from the materials of the Sea God Church and the royal family. There are very few records of those who participated in the ceremony. Among them, there are reasons why Randall Sea God Church deliberately concealed it, and those who participated in the ceremony suffered from amnesia after returning to the world of Velen, and there is no way to provide more useful information.

"Let's go to Mount Santa Trullo first." Leo looked at the team ahead and made a decision.

After finishing speaking, Leo gestured to Sean, and without the people in front noticing, he left the team, mixed into the crowd next to him, and quickly disappeared in the small town market outside the checkpoint.

Now the town where Leo and Sean are located was originally supposed to be specially used to house checkpoint guards, but at this time, the role of the town is no longer so simple. There are some forging workshops, taverns, etc. everywhere in the town. The facilities all indicate that this place should be a logistics base for desperate mountain adventurers.

Although the Mountain of Despair is very barren, not even a blade of grass grows, and it seems that there is nothing of value to be found, but in fact, the monsters in the Mountain of Despair are valuable things in themselves. At least some of the high-energy parts of these monsters can be used to It can be used to make potions and can also be used to make strange things.

Judging from the number of taverns and temporary hotels, tens of thousands of people gathered here at the peak, but now it is very deserted, there are very few pedestrians on the road, and there are even fewer people in the tavern. Like the unemployed sailors in Doyle's Tavern, they sat there drinking wine and killing time.

It seems that because of the Long Soul Festival being held here, all expeditions, hunting and other activities targeting the Mountain of Despair have been temporarily suspended, and the checkpoints entering and leaving the Mountain of Despair have also been closed. Go home, or go to Santa Trullo for the Long Soul Festival.

Leo and Sean walked around this small town. Through observation, Leo found several grocery stores that bought prey, and imitated the high-energy material that the locals separated him from the monsters in the Mountain of Despair. Sold to the grocery store for some local money.

Afterwards, he found another tavern, ordered some local wine and food, and chose a place by the window with a wide view to sit down, drinking and eating like other temporarily unemployed adventurers in the local area. stuff to pass the boring time.

Sean was silent on the sidelines. Although he was anxious about the sea monster conch he wanted, he didn't show it. On the contrary, he would do whatever Leo asked him to do. He knew very well that if he still wanted to get something To achieve his goal, he can only rely on Leo, and he can only hope that Leo's doing so will help him get the sea monster conch.

The reason why Leo did not follow the team just now to Santa Truc Mountain, the center of the land, but stayed on the edge of this desperate mountain, is to make himself more like a local. He observed the bloodbath The words and deeds of the local people, so that I can perfectly imitate the local people, so as not to go to Santa Truc Mountain and be discovered because of improper behavior.

The level of civilization in this sea god world is equivalent to the age of knights in the world of Velen, but the people here are not as ignorant as ordinary people in the age of knights. Mastering some civilized etiquette makes their overall temperament look more like people in the current Vinylon world.

The reason why everyone here has a certain amount of knowledge is because the Sea God Church and the Eldar here provide free education, as well as free skill training, such as the skills of using weapons to fight and so on.

From the conversations with the people in the tavern, Leo learned that those who stayed here and waited for the Mountain of Despair to open again were mainly because they did not want to participate in the Long Soul Festival, or in other words, these people were somewhat anti-Spiritual.

This land, or this world is not just the Sea Race and the Spirit Race as they thought before. If the Sea Race and the Spirit Race are compared to the two classes at the top of the pyramid, then under their rule, there are a large number of other people. The ethnic groups live in this ocean world, most of these ethnic groups are from the Sea Race and the Eldar Race, but there are also some from the outside world, such as the human world similar to Velen.

Yes, this world of Sea God is still connected with other worlds. After hearing the news, Leo was also surprised, but he also felt that it was reasonable. After all, the world of Velen could be connected with this world through the belief of Sea God, so other worlds would naturally It can also be connected to it through the Sea God belief, and what really surprised him is from the conversations of those people, he found that the connection channels between the other worlds connected to the Sea God world are very stable, even stable to the level of the two worlds. People can communicate freely.

Therefore, those island lords are not all from the Sea Clan and the Eldar Clan, but some are from other worlds.

For example, in the tavern right now, there is a person from another world who has settled in the world of Sea God. These people have a human form as a whole, but the skin on their bodies has special organs that resemble leaves. What are the uses of these organs temporarily? Not sure, but Leo estimated that the functions of these organs should be similar to those of leaves.

In addition, through the conversations of these people, Leo also found that the Mountain of Despair is not barren, and even extremely rich, because in addition to the monsters growing in the Mountain of Despair, there are some very special mines underground in the Mountain of Despair, and the sea of ​​​​the sky will also appear from time to time. Most of these things will fall in the Mountain of Despair. These dropped things are extremely valuable treasures. Someone once found one of the dropped things, sold it to the Sea God Church, and then got I conquered an island under the control of the Sea God Church and became an island lord.

So as long as the Mountain of Despair is open, a large number of people will enter the Mountain of Despair, expecting to get rich overnight, but most people will never return after entering the Mountain of Despair, because the environment of the Mountain of Despair is extremely dangerous except for those monsters. Also very dangerous.

After hearing this information, Leo also felt that he and Sean were very lucky to be in the Mountain of Despair at this time, because a strange force called a death ray would appear in the Mountain of Despair from time to time, and this power was produced out of thin air. The place of appearance is irregular, and all the people irradiated by the death rays will mutate in just a few days, and eventually either die of organ failure during the mutation, or mutate into a real monster and be killed by other people.

Although Leo has never seen the death ray with his own eyes, judging from the descriptions of those people, this kind of ray should be some kind of energy ray that can cause mutations in biological genes. Energy rays with this effect are very common in the universe. There are tens of thousands of types, and the solution is very simple. A set of anti-radiation clothing that filters rays or a filter generator that disturbs the frequency of rays is enough. But if there is no radiation protection clothing and filter generator, let alone ordinary people, Even psykers below the third level will undergo some irreversible mutations when encountering this kind of rays.

In addition to some miscellaneous information, Leo also knew some information about the Sea God Church team they were accompanying. In fact, the incident that happened not long ago caused such a big disturbance here that the Sea God Church sent people to the Mountain of Despair During the investigation, many people also paid attention to this place. Now that the team of the Sea God Church has returned from the investigation and brought back some things, it naturally aroused the curiosity of many people. Therefore, people in almost all the local taverns discussed these things. It was hard for Leo to listen or not.

Among the collected information of the local Sea God Church, the first information confirmed by Leo was the identity of the half-mermaid bishop, Archbishop Chris, who is almost certain that this archbishop is Princess Kris, but her bloodline There has been a mutation, or an atavism.

As for how Chris came to this world, these people didn't mention it in the information they talked with, but only mentioned that Chris's status in the Sea God Church in this world is very high, how high is it? Even the Patriarch of the Spirit Clan or the King of the Sea Clan needs to salute when they see her, and the one who can equal her status in the entire Sea God World is another High Bishop of the God Family.

The reason why she has such a high status is not because of how powerful she is, but because of her status as a descendant of the sea god. She is the only descendant of the sea god recognized by the sea god in the church of the sea god, so she can use all the gods bestowed by the sea god. artifact.

Later, these people revealed another piece of information, that is, the light of the trident before was the power exerted by the Archbishop of Krishna after using the divine weapon.

In addition, they also mentioned some things about the Sea God Church, but these things all involved disputes within the Sea God Church, and most of them were hearsay, so Leo didn't pay much attention to them.

What really caught Leo's attention was that the Priest of the Goddess Chris seemed to be planning to recruit a large number of people to expand her subordinates by taking advantage of this Long Soul Festival, when the Sea God believers from various islands gathered here.

After listening to the recruitment conditions they mentioned, Leo felt that this might be an opportunity to sneak into Mount Santa Truc, because according to normal circumstances, people without status like them want to enter the Santa Truc Mountains during the Long Spirit Festival. Lushan, it is very difficult. During this period, the entire Spirit Race and the Sea God Church are very strict on the people who enter the Santa Truz Mountain. Many people who stay here are found out and driven out of the Santa Truz Mountain. .

If there was only one Leo, he would not need to worry about his identity. He could just use some witchcraft, abyssal spells, and psionic skills that affect other people's spirits to get away with it. Even if someone finds out, he can easily He ran away, but beside him there was a Sean who was similar to an ordinary person. Once something happened to Sean, he would have no way to escape, so he had to modify his way of doing things and choose to enter Mont Saint-Truise through the normal way.

Thinking of this, Leo turned to Sean and asked, "Sean, can you sing?"

"Singing?" Sean didn't understand what Leo meant by asking this question at all, but he shook his head truthfully and said, "I can't sing, but I can use musical instruments," he said, pointing to hang in the tavern A strangely shaped piano on the wall said: "I can play the camosa, and I have practiced since I was a child."
