The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Are they still alive?" Chrissy walked up to these sea clan hermits, and felt that these hermits covered with prismatic crystals were still breathing weakly, so she asked Leo.

"They are all still alive. The crystallization just froze their bodies and spirits, putting them into a state of suspended animation. After the effect of the crystallization magic disappears, they will wake up. However, the physical injuries will cause them to be inconvenient. It’s impossible to move normally.” Leo also walked to these sea hermits, quickly checked their physical conditions, explained a few words, and couldn’t help asking: “Can I leave two Is it? I want to know how they managed to hide so perfectly..."

At this moment, Leo was indeed surprised by the hidden abilities of these sea hermits. If it wasn't for the fact that when Chris ordered her men to leave the temple just now, his supernatural perception heard a burst of rapid heartbeats that did not belong to the three people in the hall. , he may not be able to find the traces of these sea clan hermits.

"No, these hermits must be returned to the Sea Clan." Leo's request reminded Chris of some bad memories, frowning, and said in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo to say anything, he waved to the temple guards who heard the movement and looked inward, motioning them to come in and tell the hermits of the Sea Race to take them out and give them proper treatment.

After the hermits were taken away, the attendants came in to clean up the blood in the temple, and then exited the temple again, and the temple returned to the state of three people.

"Even the hermits from the Sea Clan have already sent out, which shows that they also attach great importance to this golden scale." Chris broke the calm and said, "Tell me! What reward do you need to trade the golden scale to me."

Hearing what Chris said, Sean looked at Leo again, and after seeing Leo nodded, he said, "I want to exchange this thing for a sea monster shell."

"Exchange a sea monster shell?" Chris, who was already prepared to accept all kinds of harsh conditions, couldn't help being stunned for a moment after hearing Sean's request, with a surprised look on her face. The reason why she was surprised , not because she felt that Sean's request was too much, but because Sean's request was much smaller than the transaction conditions he expected, as if he was ready to be hit by a cannon, but the result fell The body is just a ball of paper.

"Why is this condition a little too much?" Sean couldn't help worrying when he saw Chris's abnormal expression.

Perhaps because of the identities of Leo and Sean, Chrissy did not decisively choose the most beneficial response for herself, but persuaded: "Of course not, the value of the golden scales far exceeds the value of the sea monster snail, let alone One sea monster snail, even a hundred, is not a problem, if you trade the golden scales to me like this, you will suffer a loss."

Shawn shook his head, and said sincerely: "No, from your point of view, you may feel that I have suffered a disadvantage, but from my point of view, I think it is very reasonable, because the sea monster conch happens to be what I need most. It is also the purpose of my participation in the sacrificial ceremony and coming here, even if I hadn't met you, Your Royal Highness, I would have raised this condition in front of other people as well."

"In this case, I agree with your terms of exchange," Chrissy nodded without being too pretentious, and said, "But I will give you some extra gifts, I hope you like it."

After finishing speaking, Chris took the golden scale from Sean's hand. When she took the golden scale away, a burst of light suddenly shone from the surface of the golden scale, and the light formed a pattern on the back of Chris's hand. , and the same pattern emerged on the back of Sean's hand, but the color was darker.

It seems that this is an unknown power contained in the golden scales. Only when the two parties conduct a transaction in a normal way, and both parties fully agree with the transaction, will this mark appear. When the transaction is completed, the pattern on the back of Sean's hand It should disappear, and the pattern on Chris' hands will become deeper. In that case, the golden scales will belong to Chris completely, and she can use this golden scale to ask the Sea Clan to fulfill their promise.

When she saw the pattern appearing in her hands, Chrissy smiled on her face, and then asked her staff to take Sean and Leo to live in a temporary residence. trade.

When leaving, Leo asked to have a look at the collection of books in the Goddess Temple. Chris did not deliberately make things difficult for this, nor did she agree unconditionally. Instead, she asked Leo according to the rules of the tower wizard she knew. Ask for payment for reading.

Leo didn't feel any displeasure, but nodded in agreement, and then took out some of his special wizard medicine from the storage space and handed it to Chris.

After inquiring about the effects and usage of these potions, Chris tried them herself. This was not because she trusted Leo, but because her own special preparation could easily eliminate the effects of the potions when necessary. any effect.

Because she has been in contact with the tower wizard for a long time before, Chris knows the potion of the tower wizard very well, and also knows that without inheritance, it is difficult to refine the real high tower wizard only with the notes of the tower wizard. Tower wizard potion. Therefore, when trying these potions, she also had a psychological standard, and she didn't have much hope for the potions refined by Leo.

However, she soon found out that she was wrong, because the potions provided by Leo had far surpassed those wizard potions refined by wilderness wizards in her memory, and there were even several potions that could improve her physical fitness. Obvious effect on the body.

You must know that since the blood in her body was stimulated, she also obtained some original abilities of Leviathan, the royal family of the sea clan. Although this ability will make some potions that have special effects on other people unable to have any effect on her, it will also make her less worried about the damage of some negative potions. At least in the past so many years, she has more than once Through this ability, it successfully prevented assassinations from various forces.

Before taking the medicine provided by Leo, she never thought that she could feel the effect of the medicine. With a new understanding of his abilities, he even doubted whether Leo's previous statement that he mastered the knowledge of the tower wizard through the tower wizard's notes was true.

Although she was shocked by the medicine provided by Leo in her heart, Chrissy's expression was very calm. She said that the medicine was put away, and then agreed to Leo's request to read the book.

When the guards of the temple took Leo and Sean to the temporary residence, Chris found Rudick and asked, "I remember you mentioned that many medicines of the Sea Clan have lost their refining methods. , only the formula of the potion, right?"

"Yes." Ruddick didn't understand why Chris asked such a question suddenly, but he still said it truthfully.

Chris asked very directly: "How can I get these formulas?"

Rudick was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and said: "This matter is very simple. These formulas can no longer be refined into finished medicines because of the loss of the refining method, so they have been made public. Anyone from the Sea Clan There are books recording these formulas in the library, if you want, I will arrange for someone to copy a copy immediately."

Hearing that it was so easy to get the medicine formula of the sea tribe, Chris was naturally very happy, and immediately followed Rudick's suggestion, and asked Rudick to send someone to copy a medicine formula of the sea tribe that could no longer be refined. And it is emphasized that the speed of copying should be fast.

Obviously, Chris hopes to use Leo's ability to refine medicines to restore the lost medicine refining methods of the Sea Race. There is no doubt that if it can be done, then the rise of the Holy Church will be inevitable. block.

On the other side, although Leo left the temple, his spiritual network did not leave, so what Chris said to his capable men was naturally heard by him.

Chris's idea was easily guessed by him, and he was happy to see it come true. Although the potions in this world may not be refined in other worlds due to different medicinal materials, they can increase the ability of refining potions. Experience and experience are already a big gain for him.

Leo and Sean's temporary residence was arranged near the temple. It was originally a branch of the Sea God Temple established by the Sea God Church in Lingdu, but because the church's main church is very close, there are no believers here. Over time, it became a place for elderly clergy to retire.

When the Sea God Church began to be divided into two church systems, the Holy Church of Gods, as a newcomer, would naturally be suppressed by the Holy Church of God, and the resources allocated were also some corner resources of the Sea God Church. It was placed under the name of the Holy Church of the Gods.

Although this place is not the core resource of the Sea God Church, it does not mean that there is a problem with this place. In fact, it is located in the middle of Lingdu, and there is a straight road leading to the shining Yinyue Lake from here, and The main living places of the Spirit Race are all around, and this is also the power center of the entire Spirit City.

Although the relationship between the Spirit Race and the Sea God Church is extraordinary, it can be regarded as two sides of the same body, but the Spirit Race has always regarded the Spirit City as a forbidden existence, but now this land that belongs exclusively to the Spirit Race has an additional territory of other forces. Moreover, this land is very large, and it is still in the center of Lingdu, which makes many Spirit Race people feel like there is an eye-catching stain on a perfect picture scroll, which is unbearable.

It's just that this piece of land was given to the Sea God Church by the Spirit Race people themselves, so that the Sea God Church could support their decision to leave the ocean, so how dare they take back this land now.

However, as the Church of the Sea God split into the Holy Church of the Gods and the Holy Church of the Gods, the land in Lingdu and the Temple of the Sea God above it were put under the name of the Holy Church, and the Spirit Race people also saw that the land was taken back. Therefore, when Chris moved here to live and devoted herself to the construction of the god-born temple, the Eldar people sent people to ask for the redemption of this land.

I don't know what the Spirit Race people thought at the time. Maybe they regarded Chris as the loser in the internal power struggle of the Sea God Church, so the people they sent to discuss the land repurchase with Chris naturally behaved extremely badly. Naturally, Chris would not endure such humiliation, so she drove the spirit clansman out of the temple at that time.

Afterwards, the spirit clansman went back and said a lot of bad things about Chris, and the Holy Church of the God's Family of the Church of the Sea God secretly fueled the flames, making the relationship between the spirit clansman and the gods descendant temple very bad.

However, not all the people in the Spirit Clan are stupid. Soon, some high-level leaders of the Spirit Clan noticed the abnormality. The investigation found some bad behaviors of their own clansmen, and they also learned about the change of rights in the Sea God Church. The loser of the struggle, but the winner of the power struggle, the Sea God Church has begun to transform into the double church system.

Coupled with the rumor that Chris could freely use the Sea God's Artifact, the Eldar began to change their previous suppression strategy, and began to actively ease the tension with the Holy Church.

However, even so, the relationship between the two is still not very good, there are no major conflicts, and small conflicts continue, and the Spirit Race seems to be more willing to maintain this state, and has not done anything to further change the relationship between them.

However, when the holder of a golden scale has been brought to Chris, and the news that Chris may have obtained the golden scale reaches the ears of the high-ranking power holders of the Spirit Race, they realize that they cannot If this continues, they must have a good relationship with Chris.

All along, the Sea Clan has been indifferent to things on land and has no interest in paying attention to them. But once Chris has the golden scale, she can ask the Sea Clan for their support. Once she has the support of the Sea Clan , then Chrissy's Goddess Temple will definitely increase in power and become the strongest force on the land.

Faced with this situation, the Spirit Race has to consider their future position. There is no doubt that because of some misunderstandings, they have become Chris's mortal enemy. This is not in the interests of the Spirit Race people, so they must make changes to the status quo.

Ever since, when Chris and Sean reached a preliminary transaction condition, the senior leaders of the Spirit Race who received the news had already discussed a countermeasure, and then sent the elders of the Spirit Race to Chris's place. The Holy Church of Gods, one is to see if there is any possibility of reconciliation with Chris, and the other is to see if Chris really got a golden scale as the rumors said.

Almost at the same time when the Spirit Race made a decisive decision, the Holy Church of the Sea God Church also sent a newly appointed priest of the scepter to the God's Temple. As for the purpose, it should be similar to the Spirit Race. Facing Chris' unstoppable strength Rising, they also had to bow their heads to avoid it.
