The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At this moment, Greenstone Village seems to have fallen into a very strange chaos. The original three-party melee situation has turned into a big melee. Everyone seems to have lost their minds and uses various methods to attack people around them. , even if this person was still a relative or friend one moment, and turned into a life-and-death enemy the next moment, even if they were beaten badly, as long as they were still able to punch, they seemed to have no intention of stopping.

If you stand on the lighthouse of Greenstone Village and look down at this time, you will find that all the visible ground in Greenstone Village is covered with injured people, and many of these people are probably dead. The blood also stained the ground and the walls of the surrounding houses red, it was simply a purgatory on earth.

But what is a little strange is that on the pier, the open space close to the line of Beruk Lake seems to be another world. The people crowded there did not show any crazy desire to attack. In the next place, a large group of people fought selflessly, and what was even weirder was that no matter how fiercely those people fought, they would never enter that line of open space, let alone attack people in that line of open space.

Even some daring people stood on one side of the open space and stretched out their hands to pull the few people who were fighting on the other side. Those red-eyed people would calm down immediately after entering the open space, and collapsed and fainted.

At this moment, those lucky ones who were still awake in the open space knew that something was wrong with Greenstone Village, but they didn't know the reason, and they could only pray that a ship would come to rescue them in time.

At the same time, Leo and Sylvia, who had entered Greenstone Village, avoided the crazy people fighting in the village. Even if they met a few, they easily dealt with them. Go up to the very old house.

From the weeds around the house, the dilapidated walls and roof and other details, it is not difficult to see that this house has not been inhabited for a long time, but judging from the style and scale of the house, at the beginning of its construction, the people who lived here A person is definitely a person of some status, either the owner of the mine on Emerald Island, or a person in charge of the mine.

As for the reason why this house was deserted, it may be related to some violent conflicts, because there are traces of man-made damage in a large number of damaged parts of this house. It is conceivable that many people destroyed the outer wall of the house by violent means when the house was intact. Rush into the house and continue to destroy.

Sylvia looked at the situation of the house and analyzed: "It may be that the miners in the mine rioted and rushed into the house and killed the people in the house. After that, the people on the island felt that they were living in the house where the dead people lived. Not good, so it was left unused and not fixed."

Leo nodded in agreement, and then asked with a serious expression: "Did you feel it? This kind of power."

"Hmm." Sylvia nodded without saying much.

In fact, compared to Leo, Sylvia has a stronger sense of the strange power emanating from this house, and has a more detailed perception of its details.

The strange power emanating from this house is the source of the disorderly riot that is erupting in Greenstone Village. Both of them felt it when they were outside the village just now. After all, this power is too obvious. There is no cover up.

At first, both Leo and Sylvia subconsciously thought that this power might be an abyssal power, because the breath of power gave them the feeling of disorder, chaos and violence, which was very similar to the abyssal power, but after reaching the source of the power, Only then did they realize that their judgment was wrong. This power was not the power of the abyss, but a power they had never felt before.

This power not only has the disorder, chaos, and violence similar to the abyss, but also has the order, vastness, and majesty of the gods. It seems to be a hybrid of the gods and the power of the abyss, and what makes both Leo and Silvia feel uncomfortable is this. Although the force is not strong to them, it is as contagious as ink. Just standing next to the house, the two of them already felt a strong sense of wrongness, as if they were standing next to a cesspit. Make them inexplicably disgusted.

"This is the most disgusting power I've ever felt!" Sylvia frowned, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and said with disgust.

Although Leo also felt uncomfortable, it seemed to be better than Sylvia's, because his psionic energy seemed to have a neutralizing and restraining effect on this power, allowing him to avoid being affected.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you should leave the village first, and let me investigate here." Leo said with concern.

"No, it's not like I haven't seen a more disgusting place than here before." Sylvia shook her head, responded briefly, then refocused on the house, and passed her Method checked it again and said: "The source of this power is underground, it should be the foundation part."

Leo tried to use the spiritual net to check the situation underground, but he stopped immediately after using the spiritual net, cutting off the connection with the spiritual net, because this force can erode the spiritual net, and It can also spread to his spiritual consciousness along the spiritual network.

Although this erosive power was very weak, Leo wasn't sure what unknown effect this erosive power would hide, so he didn't take any risks.

In the case of not being able to use the spirit net, Leo could only use other methods to collect the situation underground. He squatted down and punched the ground hard like a madman. The power of the fist was very strong. It even made the ground tremble.

The ripples produced by this vibration are like a mental net, constantly spreading outward from the position where Leo hit, and when they hit various objects, they give Leo some data information back to the object.

Then when the shaking stopped, he also collected enough information, stood up again, and used psionic energy to create an illusion, fully showing the foundation of the house.

It turns out that the foundation of this house was not built together with the house, but was built on a flat ancient architectural relic. This architectural relic is only a fragment and the complete shape of the relic cannot be judged, but from the stone materials used in the relic Judging from it, the ruins should have been a large building when they were complete.

In addition, the surface of this ruin has very complete and complex patterns. These patterns look like a bunch of messy lines, but if you look closely, you can find some very mysterious symbols mixed in these lines.

Judging from various situations, the mysterious power that leaks out of the house and affects the emotions of others comes from the pattern of the foundation, and this pattern is like the roots of Turing. After being combined in a certain way, it will produce a kind of Extraordinary strength.

"Damn it! It's really disgusting." After seeing the foundation symbol formed by Leo's spiritual energy, Sylvia couldn't help turning her head as if she saw something extremely uncomfortable. Stepped aside, and cursed.

Seeing Sylvia's reaction, Leo couldn't help being stunned. Although he also felt some discomfort when he saw this symbol, as if this symbol was like a cosmic swearing machine that kept spitting out swear words, he still Still able to bear this level of discomfort, without such a big reaction like Sylvia.

When Leo was about to ask Sylvia how she felt, Sylvia shot suddenly, and a hot beam shot out from her hand, scattered the psionic phantoms gathered in the air, and hit the house in front of her. The house was directly melted into a pile of lava, and the foundation was naturally melted under the burning of the hot lava.

At the same time as this foundation melted, that strange power disappeared at the same time, and those people in Greenstone Village who lost the influence of this power all recovered one by one, and while returning to normal, He also passed out directly due to damage to his mental eyes or excessive physical wear and tear.

Sylvia's sudden behavior was naturally beyond Leo's expectations. When he was about to ask about Sylvia's situation, Sylvia took the initiative and said, "I felt that symbol was really disgusting just now. I can't control it, and I don't know where this feeling comes from, maybe it comes from the soul, and then I have a strong desire to destroy, want to destroy this thing, and then cast a spell instinctively." She paused for a moment, and said in doubt: "The light of destruction I cast just now didn't seem to be out of control, it was fully cast, and the effect was as expected. What's going on?"

"I want to know too." Leo also showed a puzzled look on his face. He could clearly feel that the power that Sylvia exerted had not undergone any artificial adjustments, but was exerted instinctively. weakened, but it didn't have the chaotic and disorderly effect like when it used its witch power or blood power at other times.

"Try again." Leo suggested, "Use a simpler one."

After hearing this, Sylvia used the power of her blood to directly create a ball of flames in her palm. However, as soon as the flame was formed, it instantly turned into a black shadow, and then the black shadow rushed directly to the sky, dyeing the sky black. A large amount of water vapor gathered together in a short time to form a dark cloud, and under a burst of lightning and thunder, bean-sized raindrops fell down.

Looking at the sunny and cloudless sky before, it turned into a pitch black and cloud-covered storm in a blink of an eye. Leo and Sylvia were speechless for a while.

After a while, Sylvia murmured to herself: "It seems that it was just a coincidence."

Leo didn't say anything, and pulled Sylvia back for a distance, avoiding the thick smoke caused by the rain falling on the lava.

At this time, Solander, who was waiting outside the village, also saw the thick smoke billowing here, and saw that the scuffle in the village seemed to be over. After she tried to enter the village, she didn't feel anything strange, and followed She looked at the center of the village that had calmed down in the distance, and then at the place where the thick smoke was rising. After a moment of hesitation, she rushed towards the place where the thick smoke appeared.

"Your Excellency Leo, Ms. Sylvia, what happened just now?" When he came to the place where the thick smoke was generated, he saw Leo and Sylvia standing there, and looked suspiciously at the cooling lava next to him. Chi, in her memory, Emerald Island doesn't seem to be a volcano, and naturally there shouldn't be lava or the like. But now a piece of cooled lava appeared in front of her, and it seemed that the lava here was still intact, which made her extremely confused, and the only people she could ask now were Leo and Silvia.

Leo looked at Solander, did not answer, but pointed to the center of Greenstone Village and said: "Now that the danger has been lifted, isn't your most important thing to rescue those people?"

Solander froze for a moment, and couldn't help but frowned. She knew that she couldn't ask Leo and Sylvia about anything else, so she didn't continue to ask, and turned her head and ran towards the village.

After Solander left, Leo and Sylvia did not leave Greenstone Village, but walked towards the center of the village in the same way. They were also going to help the wounded here, which would help them gain some good reputation and facilitate Live better in Beiruk City or the Alter Federation.

Soon they came to the center of the square in the village. At this moment, the square was full of people lying there. These people couldn't distinguish between life and death, because they were all wounded, and the raindrops hit them and wet their whole bodies. , They didn't respond either, they looked like they were dead.

It seemed that Solander had seen such a tragic scene for the first time, and she was completely stunned, not knowing what to do.

"Don't be dazed, there are still people avoiding the riot at the pier, tell them that the matter is over, let them come to the rescue together, if these people are allowed to get wet here, it won't take long before they die from their injuries , will also die from hypothermia." Leo gave Sorant a loud order, and then he casually grabbed a person who was still alive on the ground, carried him on his back, and transported him to the empty room next to him.

Sylvia didn't move the people on the ground. She went into the house to check and treat the injuries of the wounded. She didn't use any supernatural power, but just performed some simple battlefield dressings to stop the wounds on these wounded. bleed.

As Solander called those who escaped the disaster on the pier, the speed of moving the wounded was much faster. Soon all the wounded in the square were moved into the house, and the moving team began to move towards the pier. Move, but compared to the number of people transported in the square, there are not many people who can be treated in the direction of the pier. Most of the people here are due to severe injuries and heavy rain to cool down, resulting in hypothermia and shock. die.

When the last wounded person who was confirmed to be alive was moved into the house for treatment, the corpses lying on the ground still covered the entire ground, as if the people who were treated just now were hallucinations, everyone stopped and stared blankly. Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, he didn't know who cried first, and all kinds of crying suddenly came and went amidst the heavy rain.
