The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When Chris saw the description of the shape of the metal body, something familiar to her quickly appeared in her mind, but that thing was not in the sea, but underground.

The excavation of the relics of prehistoric civilization has always been the most important work of the Royal Society of England. Every year, the Royal Society uses the influence of the Kingdom of England to excavate those secret relics of prehistoric civilization around the world, and look for usable prehistoric civilizations from there. tools of civilization.

Although Chris has never been in contact with these things officially, after all, she is the princess of the Kingdom of England. With her identity, she can also read various records related to it, and even go to the secret excavation site that has never been made public. I also saw some magical items, including the metal body mentioned in this diary.

Regarding what the metal body is, the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England has never had a unified answer. The only certainty is that the metal body is hollow, and it may be some kind of vehicle.

After understanding the basic structure of this metal body, the Sea God Church believed that it was a ship created by the Sea God, and it was specially provided for devout believers and family members to go to the Sea God's Kingdom.

The reason why such a judgment is made is mainly because the manufacturing process of this metal body is definitely not a manufacturing process that humans can master, and only gods can manufacture such a great creation.

Secondly, this metal body has an unimaginable airtightness, and there is no gap at all on the surface of the closed state, which makes it also have a strong barrier effect on water.

Finally, there is such a large metal body, even if it is hollow, its weight is immeasurable. Only the strong buoyancy of sea water can support this metal body.

That's why the Church of the Sea God said with certainty that this is the creation of the Sea God, and the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England did not deny this statement, and even took the initiative to accept this statement. After all, they could not find any more credible statement than the Sea God's creation for the time being. up.

There is no record of this kind of metal body in the world of Poseidon. This is the first time Chris has seen it. She is also curious about this metal body, but her curiosity about the metal body is more important than her desire to obtain the blood helmet. Obviously, the difference is not a star and a half, so in order to avoid complications, she does not want to agree to Leo's request in her heart.

But for some reason, Chris could clearly feel that Leo should know what this metal body was, which made her even more curious about Leo's identity in the world of Velen.

"Do you know what this is?" Chris asked bluntly without hiding her curiosity.

Hearing this, Leo was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I do know what this is."

Chris asked again: "What is it?"

"A ship." Leo gave the answer, but its answer was too simple and extremely misleading.

Sure enough, after hearing the answer given by Leo, Chris frowned, because this answer reminded her of the saying of the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England.

Chris immediately lost interest in the metal body, and said, "It's fine to stay, but not for too long."

Leo nodded and said nothing more.

I don't know how long it took, but the old Duke found Chris and said that the ships needed to enter the maelstrom had been prepared, and asked if Chris wanted to take a look.

Chris knew exactly what the ship looked like, so she wasn't interested, but Leo was a little interested in it, so he and Old Duke left the fort and walked towards the small pier on the side of the island.

On the way, Old Duke secretly looked at Leo from time to time, constantly guessing Leo's identity in his heart.

According to old Duke's common sense, a person like Leo who doesn't have any characteristics of the Sea God should be the lowest level talent in the whole world, let alone get along with the real high-level real power of the Sea God Church like Chris. The general priests of the Sea God Church are much nobler than him.

But Leo was an exception, and this exception appeared without any symptoms.

Although the old Duke was imprisoned in the Taranque Trench by Chris in a disguised form, he was unable to leave a step, but he was not ignorant of the outside world. On the contrary, he used the special resources obtained from the Taranque Trench over the years. An intelligence network was established.

Although the scale of this intelligence network is not very large, and there are no particularly powerful characters, and it is impossible to collect internal information from those big forces, it is not difficult for his intelligence network to collect some information that has been made public. Various information around Chris.

If a person with equal status to her and without the characteristics of the sea tribe appeared beside Chris, then he would definitely know, after all, such a thing could never be hidden.

But the latest news he got was the same as before, that Chris was busy with various matters related to the establishment of some god-born temples, so Leo's appearance could only be after his latest information and before arriving at the Taranque Trench. period of time.

"Have you been with Lord Chris for a long time?" Old Duke asked tentatively.

Leo replied directly: "I'm not Chris's subordinate, I'm just her collaborator,"

"Collaborator? To be able to cooperate with Master Chrissy, your status is not low." Old Duke continued to ask tentatively: "As far as I know, there is a group of sea people who can make themselves perfect by taking special drugs." It hides all the characteristics of the sea tribe, just like ordinary people."

"I'm not a sea clan." Leo gave another simple answer, and before Old Duke continued to probe, he said, "You don't need to inquire about my identity, it's impossible for you to find out, and you Instead of caring about my identity as a stranger who won't stay for too long, you should care more about yourself!"

Leo's words made Old Duke's face a little gloomy, because these words made him think whether his secret plan had been discovered, and whether Leo was giving him a warning.

"You don't have to think about anything else, I'm talking about your body." Leo's words interrupted Old Duke's contemplation, and said, "Did you take some blood extracts in order to make your sea race more pure?" Drug?"

Old Duke was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that what Leo was going to talk about was this matter, he relaxed a little bit from what he just mentioned, nodded, and said, "Yes, I took it, but it shouldn't be What's the big problem? I know that many people, including the Sea Clan themselves, are using drugs to improve their blood."

"Yes, everyone is doing the thing of taking medicine to improve the blood, but the problem is that the medicine you use is different from those people." Leo said to the old Duke with deep meaning: "Since you took that After taking the medicine, your body is completely sea-like, but do you often feel that you can't control your body sometimes?"

Old Duke stopped in his tracks instantly when he heard the words, and looked at Leo in shock, apparently his expression had already given the answer.

However, Leo seemed to have lost interest in talking, and he didn't say anything, but walked towards the small pier that had already come into view.

Old Duke stood there blankly for a while, then came to his senses quickly, and quickly chased after him, wanting to ask Leo why he knew these things, but he swallowed the words again, not because he was embarrassed to ask, It's because there are already many people gathered around, and this is not an appropriate place to ask about these private matters.

In this small pier, the people from the Goddess Temple are taking over the work from the old Duke's people, preparing for Chrissy to go to the Taranque Trench for the final inspection.

Leo is not the only person who accompanied Chris to the Taranque Trench this time. There are also three senior priests from the Goddess Church who will participate. Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from these three senior priests, each of them One has the strength of the bishop level of the Sea God Church, and it is the kind of real clerical bishop who was not promoted because of seniority or other reasons.

Almost all the weapons and medicines prepared now are for these three people. When they get to the trench, if they encounter any problems, the three of them will be the main force to attack.

Apart from the weapons ready to be used in the water, the most eye-catching thing in the entire small pier is the shuttle-shaped metal boat docked at the pier. If it wasn't for sure that he didn't see the vector engine, Leo almost regarded the shuttle-shaped metal boat as a rescue The space capsule is gone.

Undoubtedly, in an environment like the maelstrom, this kind of fully enclosed shuttle-shaped hull is the most suitable. As long as the front end does not directly hit the rock, there is basically no danger of the hull being crashed. At most, the surface is only a little damaged. Moreover, this ship is a one-off. After entering the trench, it will be abandoned, and when it leaves the trench, it will leave through another channel of ocean currents gushing outward.

As for why you didn’t choose another ocean current channel to enter the trench, it’s because once you enter that channel, any extraordinary power will be banned, and the only thing you can rely on is physical strength, and in that kind of high-speed ocean current, physical strength alone will It is almost impossible to go downwards against the current, only upwards with the current.

Leo stayed at the small pier for a while, then turned and walked back, and Old Duke followed closely.

After leaving the crowd and entering the deserted path, the old Duke quickened his pace, caught up with Leo, and hurriedly asked: "It seems that you haven't finished talking just now. Since you know my situation very well, you also know it if you think about it." The reason, may I ask if there is something wrong with the medicine I am taking?"

Leo looked at Old Duke, and said: "There is a taboo library in the main hall of the Sea God Church, which stores a large number of taboo books, including a book that records various taboo potions. A potion called ancestral return, the effect of this potion is very direct, it is to enhance the original blood in the body of the user, and then return to the state of the ancestors."

When Old Duke heard that Leo was able to freely go to the taboo library to read the forbidden books there, his face became more dignified. In his cognition, only the core clergy of the Sea God Church could read these books, so At this moment, he already regarded Leo as a disguised high-ranking member of the Sea God Church.

Faced with this situation, Old Duke would naturally not admit that he had taken a forbidden medicine, so he said vaguely: "This medicine sounds very good, why is it a forbidden medicine?"

"Because of two reasons, the first reason is that the person who made this potion is a heretic, a very dangerous heresy, and the other reason is that there are too many uncertainties in this potion," Leo said calmly: "Because Before taking it, you didn't know what your original blood was, just like you want to transform yourself into a sea race, but after taking the potion, the awakened blood is not a sea race at all."

"You said I'm not a sea tribe?" Old Duke's face darkened, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and the spikes all over his body trembled slightly in the change of mood.

The reason why Old Duke spent all his savings accumulated over the years at any cost, found someone to buy a batch of this ancestral potion, and has been taking it all the time. It is entirely because he hopes to completely transform himself into a sea tribe, so that he can take advantage of the sea tribe amnesty , Escape from the ghost place of Taranque Trench.

However, now Leo actually told him that the mutation in his body was not from the Sea Race, which was tantamount to breaking his hope and making it difficult for him to accept it no matter what.

Leo said: "Although the Sea Clan is now known as three thousand races, in fact, the root race of the Sea Clan is only sixteen races, that is, the sixteen great creations that the Sea God Church often says. You can compare it yourself. What are the similarities between the appearance characteristics and the abilities obtained after the awakening of the bloodlines and these sixteen tribes, and what are the similarities with the other three thousand sea tribes."

Old Duke thought about it carefully after hearing the words, and found that just as Leo said, the mutation on his body was far from the real sea clan in terms of body and ability.

In fact, he has noticed this problem before, but he also knows that the mutations in the people of the sea tribe are all kinds of strange things, and his swollen body covered with spikes seems normal, so he didn't care Now, under Leo's reminder, he realizes that all the mutation characteristics and ability characteristics of his body are completely different from those of the sea people.

"My ancestors were adherents?" Old Duke quickly thought of the answer and asked tentatively.

When the Sea Clan Expeditionary Army conquered the world, some extremely weak worlds would voluntarily surrender to the Sea Clan. In order to stabilize the situation, the Sea Clan Expeditionary Army would arrange for some Sea Clan people to marry people from these worlds. In the end, there would be a small number of these people. When a child of mixed race is born, such people are called adherents.

This may also be the case with Old Duke's ancestors, so Old Duke's blood must also have the blood of the Sea Clan, but he was unlucky. The blood that dominated his body was not the blood of the Sea Clan, but another bloodline. This kind of blood, but from the appearance of this blood, it looks a bit like the Sea Clan.

Leo nodded and said, "It should be."

"Did those incidents on me be caused by thinking that I inspired the wrong blood?" Old Duke couldn't help asking.

Leo gave a vague answer: "Not exactly."

The old Duke was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there any help for me?"
