The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The holy mountain does not allow non-shamans to enter. This is a death rule, and even the high-status firekeepers cannot violate it. Therefore, after arriving at the foot of the holy mountain, Carson Sanjes's men are in charge of the safety of the holy mountain. The guard's armed shaman registered the identities of Leo and Sylvia, and then led the two of them to detour for a distance from a road formed by overlapping tree roots under the holy mountain, and came to a tree house by the gem lake. middle.

The location here is right across the lake from the garden where the banquet was held yesterday, and the scenery is naturally very good, but it's not like the artificial sandy beach on the other side of the lake where people can play, there are only tree roots on the lakeside here.

The tree roots extending from the holy mountain not only formed a tree house, but also continued to extend toward the lake, plunging deeply into the bottom of the lake.

These tree roots spread here not only because of growth, but more importantly, these tree roots can draw water from the lake, and continuously provide various water for the shamans living on the holy mountain.

According to legend, the water of the holy mountain can cure various diseases. In the past, Leo just thought it was some kind of shamanism potion, just like a wizard potion, but now Leo knew that when the tree root draws water from the lake and sends it to the mountain At the same time, while purifying the water, it also injects some special energy into the water, making the water have some additional effects.

This tree house was not built by the shamans of the southern holy mountain to control the tree roots to receive visitors, but for their own shaman practice. Although all the energies in Leo's body were suppressed to death, he Still able to use various supernormal perceptions of the body, it is found that many people have already lived in these tree houses, and all of these people are lying naked in a pool made of tree tumors in the center of the tree house. Some vines were covered, and some vines even penetrated into the bodies of those people, but those people didn't seem to care about it, instead they entered a deeper level of consciousness as if they were asleep.

"This should be the tree house in the spirit realm, right? I didn't expect it to be successful." Although Sylvia didn't see the situation inside the house, she still recognized the origin of these houses from the unique shape of the house.

After getting Sylvia's tip, Leo immediately found the relevant information of these tree houses.

The Spiritual Tree House is a unique practice holy object of the holy mountain shaman. It is said that the spiritual tree can create a world similar to a dream, and send the souls of those who practice shamanism into that dream world to practice through its roots. In that dream world, shaman apprentices don't need to worry about the casting of shaman spells and the consumption of their own power. As long as the process of casting shaman spells is completely correct, they can cast various shaman spells without restriction.

This is very useful for those shaman apprentices who lack their own abilities. With this dream world, they can quickly become familiar with various shaman skills and spells.

This kind of spiritual tree house also has some bad side effects, that is, the shaman apprentice who enters the dream world can only rely on his own will to escape from that dream world. Once completely immersed in that false world, it is very likely that he will never be able to escape again. , In the end, the consciousness is completely assimilated with the tree house in the spiritual realm, and the body becomes like a living dead, and finally becomes the nutrient absorbed by the tree house in the spiritual realm.

Although Leo didn't enter those tree houses to check with his own eyes, he still found through his extraordinary five senses that nearly half of the shaman apprentices in these tree houses had stopped breathing.

This kind of spiritual tree house is not a product of the southern holy mountain, but the northern holy mountain, that is, the product of the old holy mountain. It was stolen by the big shaman at the first sight of the southern holy mountain when the shamanism separated from the north and the south with the tribe. A tap root from a tree house in the spiritual realm was transplanted to the southern holy mountain. At that time, this incident caused a lot of commotion in the shamanism. The great shaman at the first sight of the southern holy mountain even had to sacrifice himself for this matter. Only then did this completely quell the matter that almost led to the civil war of shamanism.

As for the roots that have been transplanted to the southern holy mountain, they have not been taken back, because both the shaman of the northern holy mountain and the shaman of the southern holy mountain believe that this section of tree root cannot survive, and now it seems that things have developed. Contrary to everyone's expectations, the root of the tree not only survived, but also grew into a mature tree house in the spiritual realm.

"I remember that the spirit tree house in the album doesn't look like this?" Sylvia said doubtfully at this time.

"It's really different." Leo gave an affirmative response, and said: "The tree house in the northern holy mountain has spiritual flowers, but there are no flowers here." Then, he looked at the person leading the way in front, and added: "So in the Those who use the spiritual tree house to practice here will have more difficulty breaking out of the dream created by the spiritual tree house than the people in the northern holy mountain, and naturally more people will die."

When Leo said these words, Carson Sanjes's subordinates shook involuntarily. Obviously Leo's words reminded him of some bad things, but he didn't show his emotions. Still leading the way calmly.

Soon the three of them came to a tree house by the lake. This tree house is different from other tree houses around, not only because the tree house extends out of the lake shore and is suspended on the lake, but more importantly, the roof of this tree house There is a spirit flower growing on it.

After leading Leo and Sylvia outside the tree house, Carson Sanjes's men pointed at the tree house, then turned and left.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and then walked into the tree house, and saw Carson Sanjes sitting in the pool in the middle of the tree house, with a large number of vines growing from the gaps in the surrounding tree roots , Covering his body, some vines even stretched out their tentacles and plunged into Carson Sangers' body, looking as if they wanted to integrate him into the tree roots.

"You shouldn't have said that just now." Although Carson Sanjes seemed to have entered a dream like the shamans in other tree houses, he just walked in when Leo and Silvia walked in. He said something very abrupt, and then added: "Russ' brother is also a shaman apprentice. He tried to use the tree house in the spiritual realm to break through the barrier of the realm, and finally fell into a dream, and never got out of it." .”

Although Carson Sanjes' words were very serious, it was clear that Leo and Sylvia were not interested in the content of the conversation. They each walked around in this not very big tree house, looking around, Xi touched it, as if looking at something rare.

It can be said that it was the first time that Carson Sangers was treated with such almost ignoring behavior, and a trace of anger inevitably arose in his heart, but he still suppressed his emotions, because he had more important things to do.

So, he took a few deep breaths, and then calmly said to Leo: "I came here today, mainly to share the knowledge of wizards with you. The only people who have real knowledge of wizards in this world are you and me. Me, if we want to go further on the path of wizards, we need to communicate with each other and supplement each other's knowledge deficiencies."

Hearing what Carson Sanjes said, Leo looked at him with a little deep meaning, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and then said: "I don't mind exchanging knowledge with others, but I mind doing things for nothing. So what about the Tower Wizard books you promised?"

Carson Sanjas seemed to be very disdainful of Leo's behavior of asking for reward, and said indifferently: "I have prepared things, as long as you are serious about exchanging knowledge with me, I will give it to you after the exchange. "

"Do you want to wait until after the exchange?" Leo frowned, and said reluctantly, "How do I know if you will regret it afterwards?"

Leo's questioning made Carson Sanjes feel as if he had been greatly insulted. He glared at Leo angrily, and said angrily, "I am the Firekeeper of the Holy Mountain, the real heir to the tower wizard."

"I am a fake tower wizard, the son of a blacksmith in the Kingdom of England." Leo also responded in the same tone, with the meaning beyond words.

Just when Carson Sanjes was about to be completely irritated by Leo's attitude, Sylvia on the side stood up to adjust the atmosphere and said, "I believe in the credit and reputation of the Firekeeper of the Holy Mountain. Do things you regret later."

Sylvia's words made Carson Sanjes raise his head slightly, and looked at Leo with an inexplicable smile, as if to say, look, even your woman trusts my reputation and belief, What right do you have to question.

Leo didn't say anything, he walked directly to the pool and sat down, then took off his boots very casually, soaked his feet in the pool, and said, "What wizard knowledge do you want to exchange?"

Seeing Leo's disrespectful behavior, Carson Sangers' anger that had calmed down rushed up again. He looked at Leo with a gloomy face and said, "Is this what you people call civilization?" ?Looks more vulgar than those slaves."

Leo shrugged, and didn't even mean to refute.

Seeing this situation, Carson Sanjes, who should have been even more furious, calmed down instead, glared at Leo coldly, then turned to Sylvia and said, "Ms. The content of the communication involves the secrets of the tower wizard, so..."

"Don't you think it's superfluous?" Before the other party finished speaking, Leo said with a smile: "If Xini wants to know, I won't hide it. Instead of saying it again afterwards, it's better to tell her now. Let her stay here and listen together."

I don't know if it's because I figured it out, or because I lost my temper because of Leo, Carson Sanjes didn't ask Sylvia to leave, and didn't say other nonsense, but asked Leo directly. A question of witchcraft, and also stated his understanding of it.

After hearing the question, Leo didn't mess around anymore, but thought about it seriously for a moment, and then expressed his understanding of the question, as well as what Carson Sangers had misunderstanding about the question.

After answering the questions, Leo also raised a question about the subspace plane. This question involves the wizard circle in two places, one is the Castle Black Lighthouse, and the other is the underground place of Venaya Port Several passages to the planes of the Shattered Warp.

Obviously, the question Leo is asking now is far more profound than the question raised by Carson Sangers just now. The question Carson Sangers just asked is just the most common question about the use of witchcraft. It is said that it is the basic problem of using witchcraft, but now Leo's problem has begun to involve the realm of gods.

It stands to reason that when Leo raised such an extremely profound question, Carson Sangers should feel that he was at a disadvantage in exchanging knowledge, but it turned out that he did not show dissatisfaction at all, but was very serious He thought about it, and then said his answer.

It's just that, compared to Leo's answer just now, which has both theoretical knowledge and his own practical experience, Carson Sanjays's answer is much more blunt, and many words seem to be inconsistent. It seems that some paragraphs are intercepted from some complete articles and put together as an answer.

Although these answers seem to be scripted suture monsters, they are very useful to Leo. At least there are many things in these answers that are useful to him, and they answer some of the difficulties he encountered when studying the knowledge of tower wizards , and even some content is very coherent, connecting the fragmented tower wizard knowledge in his mind into a whole.

After discovering the benefits of exchanging knowledge, Leo's question and answer with Carson Sanjes became a lot more formal, and it was no longer as casual as before.

Sylvia next to her didn't just stand there blankly. Although she wasn't a wizard, her knowledge from the blood had the imprint of the knowledge of the abyssal dragon, which made her far behind in the simple use of extraordinary power. Surpassed most of the Transcendents in this world, and even Leo might not be able to compare with them.

However, most of Carson Sangers' problems involve the use of supernatural powers such as witchcraft, so Sylvia can also make a difference to Carson Sangers' problems by analogy. Yuleo's answer made her quickly integrate into the communication.

Time passed little by little in this kind of knowledge exchange. Neither Sylvia, Leo, nor Carson Sangers was tired at all. From noon, to evening, and from evening to early morning, Carson Sanjas The questions raised by Sanjays have gradually changed from the most basic use of witchcraft to the question of exploring the origin of witchcraft, and Leo's questions have also jumped in the wizard tower, the unique witchcraft of the tower, and the wizards of the tower wizard. Jumping back and forth on issues such as the magic circle of wizards, the practice system of wizards in the tower, and so on, filling in the gaps in my knowledge of wizards in the tower little by little.

After Sylvia joined in, she also raised some questions about the stimulation of bloodline potential, and these questions were often answered by Carson Sanjes. This was not because Leo didn't understand these questions, but Leo had already discussed such issues with Sylvia.

As for Carson Sangers' understanding of these questions is not necessarily very good, but he answered Sylvia's questions from the knowledge of the wilderness wizard, which made Sylvia inspired in the development of bloodline potential. Some new ideas.
