The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Where did you get this golden scale?" After arriving at the dock site, Rudick, the priest of the scepter, came directly to see Leo and Sean, and when he saw the golden scale that Sean took out, his expression changed slightly. After a change, he asked with his tone as calm as possible.

From the first moment he saw the golden scale, Rudick was sure that the golden scale was real, because he had some resonant reactions to the golden scale.

The person who made the oath back then was Sea King of the Sea Clan, and the oath he made was aimed at all the Sea Clans, so after seeing the golden scales, all the Sea Clans could sense the authenticity of the golden scales.

"My ancestors passed it down." Sean said truthfully.

"Ancestor?" Rudick frowned, glanced at Sean, and found a mutated scale on Sean's neck behind the ear, and quickly searched for the corresponding scale shape in his mind .

For people on land, the mutations of the sea clan are disorderly, without any rules at all, but for the sea clan, the direction of mutation on any person can be judged from the scale pattern on the opponent's body. Which family does the bloodline come from, what will the mutation of the final completed body look like, and what kind of powerful power it will have.

Before Ruddick left the ocean and joined the Church of the Sea God, he was an expert in this area of ​​knowledge. He is definitely the person who knows the most about land and sea ethnicity in the entire sea tribe, and it is precisely because of this that he is here today. He took refuge in the Daoist Archbishop Chris and joined the lineage of the Divine Church, because he discovered from the information hidden in Chris's mutation characteristics and scale patterns that Chris's blood may come from the oldest sea. The royal family Leviathan, that is, the bloodline of the god descendants closest to the sea god.

For ordinary people outside, the royal family of the Hai Clan has been inherited since ancient times, and it is the oldest existence in the world, but people inside the Hai Clan know that the royal family of the Hai Clan has actually changed seven times. It is already the eighth generation of the royal family.

The replacement of the royal family of the Hai Clan is not due to internal power struggles, but because of the decline of bloodlines. Usually, the bloodlines of the previous generation of royal families have declined to the point where they cannot reproduce. In the end, the bloodlines disappear, and the bloodlines closest to the previous generation of royal families have to be selected to replace them as the new ones. Therefore, even though the Sea Clan royal family claims to have the bloodline closest to the Sea God, compared to the first generation Sea Clan royal family, the current Sea Clan royal family's Sea God bloodline is far behind.

According to the records of the Sea Clan, Leviathan, the first royal family of the Sea Clan, is the bloodline of the Sea God recently. It is life or death, so the blood of the first-generation royal family Leviathan is the purest blood of the sea god, and it is also the true blood of the gods. However, although the subsequent royal families still have strong blood power, they can no longer be regarded as the blood of the gods. up.

When Ruddick was studying the scale pattern, he accidentally obtained four scales of the Leviathan royal family. After a special examination with the power she displayed, it was determined that Chris was of the blood of the Leviathan royal family.

Now, through his own knowledge in this area, he can tell that the golden scale holder in front of him actually has some blood of the royal family of the sea clan, but this person's blood is too mixed, it seems that several royal bloods are a mixture. The opponent's bloodline has not been further stimulated, and before the main bloodline is formed, he has no way to figure out the details of the opponent's bloodline.

Although it is not clear what the other party's blood is, it must be related to the royal family of the Sea Clan, so naturally there is no problem with the origin of the golden scale in the other party's hand, but the problem now is how to deal with this golden scale.

According to Rudick's own identity of the sea tribe, he should directly ask the other party's request, meet the other party's request as soon as possible, and take back the golden scales, but now he can't just think in the way of the sea tribe. position to think about the problem.

Undoubtedly, if the person in front of him who does not understand the value of the golden scales makes a request, he can fulfill the promise as soon as possible, take back the golden scales, and reduce the price the Sea Clan pays for fulfilling the promise, but if this person is brought to the god-born archbishop Chris , Let Chris exchange for the golden scales through normal trading methods, and then Chris makes a request to the Sea Clan as the holder of the golden scales, then Chris’s God-born Temple will have no worries, I believe it will not take long for the God-born Temple It will be able to replace the current position of the Holy Church of God in the Sea God Church and control the power of the Sea God Church.

After a little hesitation, Rudick made a decision, just like he was considered rebellious by the sea tribe and made the decision to join the church of the sea god, the decision he made now is absolutely treasonous to the sea tribe .

So Rudick, who had made the decision, said to Sean, "I'll take you to Mrs. Chrissy now. You can ask her if you have any requests."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sean to make any response, he asked the temple guard to take Sean away, but Sean stopped the temple guard and said that he would leave with Leo who was beside him.

At this time, Rudick noticed Leo standing next to Sean, and looked at Leo, just like everyone else here, after seeing that Leo had no signs of being a sea tribe, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes He only regarded Leo as Sean's companion, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He agreed to Sean's request, and then led the two of them to board the vehicle they had come to, and headed towards the temporary residence of the God's Temple in Lingdu. go.

Leo and Sean were in a car alone, and Sean couldn't help asking Leo, "Mr. Leo, what should we do now?"

Leo smiled easily, lay on the floor, and said: "Don't worry, since they didn't snatch the golden scales after seeing them, it means that they are willing to fulfill the promise represented by the golden scales according to the rules, the only one The question is how much commitment they are willing to deliver on and who will deliver on that commitment."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be completely relaxed. He closed his eyes and rested his mind. Although Xiao En received a positive response from Leo, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. dialogues and scenes.

As Leo said, from the time when Rudick didn't snatch the golden scales immediately after he appeared, Leo already knew that even if the other party wanted to get the golden scales, he would get them by normal means, and would not use the method of stealing.

So he also relaxed a little bit, and after he deliberately mastered the energy fluctuations on his body, he avoided Rudick's attention, and at the same time checked the secrets of the blood and energy on Rudick through the mental net.

Ruddick can be said to be the first real Sea Clan that Leo saw. The moment he saw Rudick, he knew why the Sea Clan is the dominant race in this world, because the energy fluctuations in the Sea Clan Resonate with the energy fluctuations of the whole world.

Although this kind of resonance reaction is very weak due to active suppression and other reasons, Leo, who is extremely sensitive to energy, can detect a clue from the weak changes in the surrounding energy, which also aroused his curiosity and made him try to use his energy Go online to find out how the resonance of blood, power and world energy in the opponent's body is produced.

However, what surprised him was that the other party didn't seem to have any defensive mentality. He didn't have any means of defense against other people's detection, and he didn't even have special perception to detect other people's detection. It was easy for the spirit net to penetrate into the other party's body, and in a short conversation, he figured out the secret of the conversion of the other party's blood, power and external energy.

Although he figured out the secret, after some analysis now, Leo found that the other party's defense against the secret of his power was not because they ignored it, but because they felt it was unnecessary, because of this ability and bloodline It is related to talent, not knowing the method can be applied to other people.

This ability to resonate with the energy of the world, and possibly borrow the power of the world, comes from the blood of the sea clan. Only the purest blood of the sea clan can do this kind of thing. The reason is like some kind of world contract. Having that pure blood of the sea clan is equivalent to signing a power assistance contract with the world, so that you can borrow the power of the world.

The method of doing this is somewhat similar to the abilities of those local gods in the Velen world. Those local gods can also borrow the power of the world, but the same method also has a huge flaw, that is, once you leave the world where the contract is signed, the contract will be broken. As long as the time limit expires, there will be news of the external power that does not belong to him. Whether it is the sea clan or the gods, there will be a situation where the power will fall off a cliff.

Although there are serious flaws in the sea clan's energy conversion and borrowing method, Leo doesn't think this method is irreparable. In his opinion, he may have a way to modify it and use it on himself, and the most critical thing about this modification is Place is the power of nightmare.

The power of nightmare can imitate any kind of power. For the time being, Leo has not discovered the power that cannot be imitated by the power of nightmare, so if he imitates his own power into the power transformed from the pure blood of the sea clan, then he may pass This kind of disguised power signed a fake contract with the world's energy and obtained the assistance of the world's power. As long as the power he borrowed did not exceed the limit, then his disguise might be able to continue.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately recalled that Rudick felt the power of the Sea Clan's blood, while trying to imitate it with the power of nightmare.

Soon there was a faint energy fluctuation of the sea clan's blood power in his body, and the surrounding energy fluctuations at the moment of this energy fluctuation also resonated as Leo expected.

Almost at the same time that Leo succeeded in imitating, Rudick, who was in the car in front, suddenly turned his head and looked at the car behind Sean and Leo, with a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly showed relief His expression seemed to understand something.

If Leo saw the change in Rudick's expression, he would definitely be able to guess that Rudick must have misunderstood. The other party must have thought that the energy resonance generated by the blood of the Sea Race came from Sean, because Sean also had Sea Race blood in him. The shadow of the blood of the royal family, but in the world it is the fake sea clan of Leo.

However, Ruddick did not pay too much attention to this matter, because another troublesome matter had already found him.

Just when they had just walked halfway and could see the spiers of the tall tower buildings in Lingdu, a group of people blocked the road and blocked the advancing team.

If ordinary people blocked the team, the guards of the temple would absolutely ignore it and just crush them. But the dozens of people blocking the team now have different identities. They are all Sea Clan, and they have the mark of the Sea Clan embassy on their bodies. Obviously someone sent by the Sea Clan.

Most of the sea people who are sent by the sea embassy to do something will directly entrust the recruited land people. It is rare for the sea people to come out to deal with the matter directly, and the sea people who have more than a dozen sea embassies at the same time like now are even more present It was something that no one in the Goddess Church had ever seen or even heard of.

"Roddy, what are you trying to do to stop my convoy?" Rudick motioned for the vehicle to drive forward, then opened the window to look at the people blocking the way, and asked calmly.

The leader of the Sea Clan said in a deep voice: "Master Rudick, we heard that the golden scales appeared, I hope..."

Rudick pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, and said, "Since the golden scales have appeared, you should look for them! What's the point of stopping my convoy? Do you still want our Goddess Church to help you find them?"

The Sea Clan said with a serious expression: "Master Rudick, you should know what we mean? You are also a Sea Clan, and you know what the golden scales mean to us."

"It's a pity, I don't know what you mean at all." Rudick had no intention of continuing to chat with the other party, closed the car window again, and then ordered to the guard of the church: "Go ahead, anyone who gets in the way, follow the rules Do it, don't worry about causing trouble for the church."

"Yes, my lord." The leader of the temple guards immediately agreed, and then led the convoy to move on. They didn't care about the sea people blocking the road, and passed through the sea people directly. They looked very calm, but their emotions were extremely tense, and everyone even put their hands on their long swords and shields, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time.

However, everything seemed so calm, the team quickly passed through the sea people blocking the way, and continued to drive along the road towards Lingdu.

Just when the convoy disappeared at the end of the road, those Hai people who had been standing still sat on the ground limply as if they had done something all day, gasping for breath.

It wasn't that they didn't want to do it just now, but they didn't dare to do it, because the upper sea clan aura from Rudick suppressed them so hard that they couldn't even move a finger.
