The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Visiting the Sea God Temple is not a difficult task for people in the Sea God World. You only need to apply to the Sea God Church and wait for the arrangement. Usually, there will be a response within three to five tidal days, and the wish to visit will definitely be fulfilled within ten days .

But if it is in a certain period, it becomes almost impossible to visit the Sea God Temple. For example, during the Long Spirit Festival of the Spirit Race, the Grace Festival of the Sea Race, and the Holy Lent Ceremony of the Sea God Church, basically except for the people of the same clan , no one else can go to the Sea God Temple.

Because of this, there is a saying among the people of Seagod World that Seagod will wake up at a certain time every year and give blessings to people outside the temple, and this specific time period is during the long period of time. On the days of Spirit Festival and Grace Festival, ordinary people are not allowed to go to the temple to worship.

This kind of rumor is widely spread, and there is no evidence to prove it, but the vast majority of people at the bottom who have heard the rumors believe that these rumors are true, so some devout believers who do not belong to the three forces will be in these special time periods , gathered on the outskirts of Mount Santa Trudeau, hoping to obtain the qualifications to visit the Sea God Temple during these time periods.

It's a pity that the people of the Spirit Race, Sea Race, and Sea God Church are hard-hearted, and they never thought of granting these devout believers the qualifications. Because of this, when it was rumored within the Spirit Race that they would give some Sea God believers to visit the Sea God Temple on the Long Soul Day When the qualifications of the people who hear the news, the first thought is that this is a rumor.

However, when the Spirit Race sent people to select qualified devout believers, they began to believe that the previous rumors were true. The Spirit Race really wanted to allow believers from other ethnic groups and forces to visit the Sea God Temple on the Long Soul Festival.

Those devout believers are not very concerned about why the Eldar do this, what they care about is whether they have the qualifications to visit.

However, it happened so suddenly that everyone was unprepared. Even if someone wanted to bribe people to obtain qualifications through some small means, he didn't know who to bribe. Know exactly what's going on here.

The selected ones who saw their names on the list naturally cheered, while those who were not selected could only sigh, but they did not dare to have the slightest grudge against the Spirit Race, and could only sigh that their luck was not good enough.

Panshi Gugal is one of the lucky ones selected, and what is ridiculous is that Panshi Gugal is not a truly devout believer in the sea god. What he really believes in is the natural shamanism handed down from his ancestors' homeland, but he pretends to be He is so outstanding that everyone who knows him thinks he is a true believer in the sea god.

Panshi Gugal was also very surprised that he would be selected, and he was also very worried, because he was worried that his disguise would be seen through. Once he knew that he was not a devout Poseidon believer, his various behaviors would inevitably be punished. Considered blasphemous, what awaited him in the end would be a brutal death.

It's just that he is worried, but he can't give up his qualifications, because his devotion to the Sea God has definitely surpassed most of the believers before, and now it is possible to go to the Sea God Temple to worship during the Long Soul Festival. It is a reward for his pious belief. If he abandons this rhetoric, then others will definitely doubt his faith and piety, and all the relationship networks he has established with his pious Christianity in the past will be lost. This is something he absolutely does not want He wanted to see it, so he decided to take a risk this time to see if he could get away with it.

In order to allow himself to successfully pass the spiritual test of faith, Panshi Gugal needs to prepare some disguised shaman spiritual tools in advance, so before leaving for the Sea God Temple, he temporarily left the spiritual capital and went to the outskirts of the spiritual capital In a certain remote forest, he took out some disguised items needed for the shaman ceremony, placed them on the ground one by one, then took off his clothes, and took out a bottle of oil from the pile of items. On his body, he put on a garland made of special plants, put on a book jacket, picked up a short stick that looked like a cane, and placed the items that he planned to make into a spiritual tool on an open space, then knelt down muttering next to that item.

After reciting the shaman sacrificial text several times, he held up a short stick in one hand and a skull filled with spiritual oil in the other, and danced the mountain spirit dance around the object.

After he jumped twice, the surrounding discrete energy surged towards this side like flowing water attracted by the vortex, and injected it into the object in the middle.

The knowledge of these natural shamans is just the knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of Panshi Gugal. Its source is a small world annexed by the sea god world. His family is a shaman with the highest status in that small world. family.

As the small world was conquered and annexed, their family also integrated into the world of Sea God. The vast majority of people in the family have converted to believe in Sea God, and a small number of people still maintain their original shaman beliefs, but pretend to be Sea God believers. He is one of them.

Although the power of the sea god world comes from the sea god, there are also a lot of natural power here, which is one of the reasons why natural shamans like them can survive, and the power obtained through various shaman rituals, he can be in the world. Surviving all kinds of dangers at sea and gaining his current status and power also made him have strong confidence in his shaman power, and he was also very involved in performing the ceremony, and soon forgot about the surrounding environment.

Fortunately, the location chosen by Panshi Gugal is a bit remote, surrounded by dense forests, and his shaman ritual knowledge is a small ritual, which causes little movement, and because it is all natural energy, it is not easy. Get the attention of some powerful people in the spirit city.

However, even so, someone still sensed the subtle energy changes here during the ceremony, and came over curiously. This person is naturally Leo who is preparing to go to the Sea God Temple.

When he felt that energy, Leo felt very confused. He once suspected that it was his own illusion. After all, he never thought that he would feel some familiar shaman power here.

Although that energy is very weak, in the world full of Seagod's power, in the eyes of someone like him with a strong energy perception, that energy is like oil mixed in water, extremely eye-catching.

Out of curiosity, after Leo left the temple, he did not go to Mount Santa Trullo immediately. Instead, he took a long detour and came to the side of the city wall of the Lingdu city closest to the place where the energy was generated, and then headed there through the spiritual net. explored the past.

"Natural shaman?" Leo easily judged that the middle-aged man's ritual originated from that type of shaman, not because he was knowledgeable, but because the ritual was a very famous shaman. The full ceremony, which was recorded in detail by the shamanism researchers of the Kingdom of England in the book, is almost a public shamanic ceremony in Velen.

This kind of shaman ceremony is called the spiritual enlightenment ceremony, which is to inspire the spirituality of an item, and then through long-term wearing and contact with the item inspired by you, you can merge with the spirituality of the item, and then make this item become one. A shamanic implement similar to a wizard's wonder.

However, even if there is a ritual, if the person who uses this ritual is not a shaman, even if someone completes the entire ritual, it is impossible to turn the items in the ritual into spiritual tools. This has been studied by all shamanism in the Kingdom of England Reviewers and enthusiasts have confirmed it.

The reason why Leo paid attention to it was not the ritual itself, but the person who used the ritual, because judging from the appearance of the middle-aged man, he is absolutely impossible to be a human being, although he looks like a human being. She has a pretty face, but has a very high forehead, and there are two pairs of eyes on the forehead. These two extra pairs of eyes are not decorations, but real eyes that can be used.

In addition, his body is much thinner and longer than that of humans, and he has a pair of deformed arms on his chest and lower back. In addition, his legs are double knees, showing a zigzag shape, which allows him to have strong jumping ability and running speed.

Such an extremely eye-catching appearance and such an authentic natural shaman ceremony reminded Leo of a legend that has been circulating for a long time in the wasteland of the Mosang Continent. In this legend, a mysterious race of the sons of the mountain was mentioned, and that race was extremely proficient in nature. The shaman way, and willing to exchange knowledge with other shaman tribes in the wasteland, the spiritual enlightenment ceremony is part of the exchange of knowledge.

However, the people of that tribe were very mysterious. If they didn't want to appear in front of others, they couldn't be found even if they searched deliberately, and the appearance of those sons of the mountain was the same as the middle-aged man who was currently undergoing a spiritual enlightenment ceremony.

Although Leo was curious about this person's origin and identity, he had no intention of going up to say hello, because judging from the current situation, it was obvious that this middle-aged man was secretly performing this shaman ceremony, regardless of the purpose For what reason, I probably don't want other people to know. If I go up to say hello at this time, I am likely to be attacked by the other party, which will only make things worse in the end.

When the other party's ceremony was coming to an end, Leo used psychic energy to leave an inconspicuous mark on the other party's body. When he had a chance to communicate with him in the future, he might be able to find out from him the sons of the mountains in the wasteland. of origin.

After doing all this, Leo left the corner and walked towards Mount Santa Trullo.

Just as Leo left, Panshigugal also completed the final spiritual injection of the ceremony. Among the various items in the middle of the ceremony, there was a fishbone sculpture that glowed with a faint white light. Obviously, this fishbone sculpture The sculpture is the shaman spiritual tool produced by this enlightenment ceremony.

And in this lesson, Panshi Gugal also let out a long breath of foul air, and with a look of lingering fear on his face, he wiped the sweat that kept protruding from his forehead, and his body changed from extremely tense to nervous. Extremely relaxed, his feet seemed to have softened, and he could no longer support his body, which made him sit on the ground.

The reason why he was so nervous just now was not because he was worried that the spiritual enlightenment ceremony would not be able to produce a successful spiritual tool, but because he was worried that the mysterious person who was secretly spying on him would do something to him and expose his identity as a non-Sea God Church believer.

Panshi Gugal obtained an extremely powerful perception ability during the first nature shaman's spiritual initiation ceremony, and could perceive subtle changes in the surrounding energy. With this perception, even if his ship was not blessed by the sea god It is still able to sail freely on rough seas.

It is also by virtue of this kind of perception that he avoided the dangers in the past countless expeditions to the sea ruins and returned to the ship safely. Although he did not gain the most from those expeditions, every time he gained Harvest, which has led some to call him the Rock of Luck, Gujar.

When Leo's spiritual network touched him just now, he immediately felt a powerful life form spying on him, which brought him unprecedented pressure, which even surpassed the kind he saw at sea. According to legend, it is a sea monster that is the pet of the sea god.

He was deliberately sure of one thing, that is, if the snooper attacked him maliciously, he would never be able to escape.

However, what surprised him was that the snooper didn't do anything to him, but was just snooping on him. After he felt that the other party was not malicious, he continued the spiritual initiation ceremony until the ceremony was completely completed.

Although the mysterious snooper didn't do anything during the ceremony, it seemed that there was no malice, but Panshi Gugal couldn't rest assured. After a short rest, he immediately cleaned up the ceremony site, and then the A bottle of blood, soaking the fishbone statue in blood.

After a while, I saw that the color of the blood faded rapidly, and finally became the same as clear water, and some bloody patterns appeared on the fishbone statue.

Panshi Gugal took out the fishbone statue, put it on with a rope, and hung it around his neck. After he hung the fishbone statue as a necklace, his overall temperament changed suddenly, becoming like He looks like a devout priest of the Sea God Church.

This fishbone statue is a special spiritual tool of the natural shaman. The bloody pattern on it is called the camouflage rune. It absorbs the blood of a certain person to allow the wearer to have a whole body that is very similar to that person within a certain period of time. temperament.

This is still the low-level version of the camouflage rune. Higher camouflage runes can not only disguise the temperament, but also can make people's overall shape into the appearance of the blood master. Even the most advanced camouflage runes can deliberately and perfectly camouflage blood to provide capabilities possessed by the

According to the records left by the ancestors of Panshi Gugal, there was once a nature shaman who produced the most advanced camouflage rune. In order to maximize the power of this camouflage rune, he managed to get a bottle of it. The blood of the gods, and then disguised as gods, also brought destruction to their world.

Because that bottle of blood belonged to the Poseidon, the moment Panshi Gugal's ancestor disguised himself as the Poseidon through the disguise rune, he had a slight connection with the Poseidon, and the Poseidon also confirmed the other party's identity through this connection. Where the world is, and then send expeditionary forces to conquer and annex the world.
