The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Bain Ruff's voluntary refuge was completely beyond Leo and Sylvia's expectations. They just felt that Bain would be in a weak position when cooperating with them after experiencing family strife and external blows, so that they would be able to survive Obtain more information from the other party.

However, what they never imagined was that Bain Ruff, a seemingly resolute and strong man with such a weak mental ability to withstand pressure, was completely panicked after just such a wave of internal and external attacks, and would choose to take the initiative to seek refuge. An outsider with unknown background, this is really surprising.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand why Bain Ruff is like this. Think about it, even if you encountered external pressure before, the person who was responsible for withstanding the pressure was not him, but the old Schobert.

Although the old Shobert has a strong desire for power, he holds all the power in the family in his hands, and does not leave any bit for the patriarch Bain Ruff, making him more like a chief thug, but the same if there are various When pressure arises, the old Schobert also needs to bear it all, making himself like an umbrella to protect the entire family, so that the members of the family will not be affected by the pressure.

But now, Bain Ruff suddenly took action to get rid of the old Schobert and gained the power of the family, so these pressures from inside and outside will be concentrated on him, and Bain Roof, who has never had any experience En can't adapt to this pressure at all, he can only feel that these pressures will destroy his family at any time.

Especially not long ago, the destruction of the Vinolin family seemed to be some kind of omen, which made him completely panicked, and at this time, Leo, who showed a strong influence, became the lifeline he was eager to grab. Straw, even at the expense of choosing to lead the whole family to seek refuge, this is a typical emergency medical treatment.

Leo didn't agree to him right away, but after serious thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "I don't know whether your current thoughts came out of nowhere or after careful consideration. I really want to ask you, you Do you really know what it means to lead your family to seek refuge?"

Bain Ruff froze, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't you think that seeking refuge is the same as some cooperation, if you feel that you can't get along, just separate." Leo looked at Bain Ruff's embarrassed expression, and continued: "If I really accept your refuge, then You are my vassal, and your family is my vassal family. I will invest my resources in order to ensure the safety and development of your family. Similarly, your family must also give your loyalty from generation to generation. This loyalty is No compromise, and only I allow the dissolution of this vassal relationship, otherwise, your family will be regarded as a traitor and will be severely punished by me."

While saying these words, Leo's power increased layer by layer, and the level difference of life forms formed an absolute suppression. Bain Luffy, who was suppressed from the source of life, seemed to see a god appearing in front of him , He couldn't help but knelt on the ground, lowered his head, his mind went blank.

At the same time, both Leo and Sylvia saw something abnormal happening on Bain Ruff who was attached to the ground. They saw energy tentacles resembling plant roots stretching out from his back, forming a Putting on a protective cover, using the life energy not much weaker than Leo's to resist the power of life that belongs to the seventh-level psyker and high-level life form on Leo's body.

Although this kind of blocking can't eliminate Bain Ruff's mental suppression, it protects the gene cells in Bain Ruff's body from mutating due to this disparity in life suppression.

The appearance of this scene made Leo feel pleasantly surprised, because when these tentacles appeared, Leo's mental network very clearly captured the subtle changes in Bain Ruff and the injection process of an external energy. He glimpsed a trace of the operation mode of the Karita magic contract.

In order to avoid the mutated collapse of Bain Ruff's body, Leo quickly stopped the suppression of life, recovered the emitted life energy in the body and sealed it, and everything around him returned to normal.

Almost when Leo's suppression disappeared, those root-like tentacles also retracted into Bain Ruff's body, and the energy that appeared out of thin air also disappeared.

It's just that before it completely disappeared, Sylvia on the side tried to use an abyssal energy-absorbing spell to contain it, but it's a pity that she was very inexperienced with this abyssal spell that she had just acquired from her inherited memory not long ago As soon as that energy was absorbed into her hand, it was immediately blown away by the too strong power of the abyss dragon in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help smiling, while Sylvia showed a little embarrassed look, and then glared at Leo angrily.

At this time, Bain Ruff who was kneeling on the ground also recovered. Although he didn't know how what happened just now, he knew very well that it had nothing to do with Leo, and Leo's heart was in his heart. The image is no longer a dignitary who has a certain influence on the federal government, but a powerful existence who has mastered mysterious power.

This new discovery not only did not dispel Bain Ruff's idea of ​​seeking refuge, but made him more firmly believe that his idea was correct. In his opinion, the person in front of him was rich, powerful, and powerful. If the other party is really willing to help the Lufu family, then the Lufu family will definitely become stronger in a short period of time, and then they can take advantage of the situation to annex other lumberjack families and fulfill the family's long-term wish.

Thinking of this, Bain did not stand up from the ground, and said directly to Leo: "Although my idea came up suddenly, I think this idea is correct, and I am willing to become your vassal and dedicate to you." Out of loyalty..."

"Don't rush to make a decision. Answer me a few questions before you consider whether you want to become my vassal." Leo interrupted Bain Ruff, and said, "Your lumberjack family has existed for so many years, mainly The forces are all limited around Truber Mountain, and the farthest is only to Joshburg, and even if some families decline and perish, they have never taken refuge in external forces, and even joined the federal government, only the current Pa One is Chi Crawley, and none of the other families are in the Commonwealth, why?"

Bain was immediately caught by the question. He didn't need to think about these things before. These things were handled by the old Schobert. Now when Leo asked, his mind was blank, and he also instinctively felt that this matter something unusual.

Leo stared at the bewildered Bain, and said: "I know that all of you lumberjack families have signed a contract with an existence deep in Truber Mountain, that is, the holy deeds held by each of your families. This contract gives It has given you some benefits, and also established some restrictions. Once the restrictions are touched, it is very likely that the whole family will die unexpectedly like some lumberjack families. Do you think it is possible that you cannot join external forces? It is also a part of your sacred contract. What about the prohibition?"

Hearing Leo's words, Bain's face suddenly became pale and colorless, and the mirror images that emerged in his mind were all those scenes of the accidental death of the Venolin family. The illusion that the invisible knife will fall at any time.

Bain was stunned for a long time before recovering, and muttered to himself: "Impossible, if this is the case, why is Patch able to serve as an executive in the federal government?"

Leo shrugged and said, "I'm not sure about this. It may be that he found a loophole in the holy deed's restriction, or it may be that the Crowley family's restriction is different from your other lumberjack families. However, I It is very clear that you don't know anything about your family's holy deed, if I were you, you'd better get to know the specific situation of the holy deed first, and then consider whether you want to become my vassal!"

After hearing this, Bain also felt that Leo's proposal was very safe, and he was not in the mood to stay here any longer. After apologizing, he quickly left the villa.

After Bain left, Sylvia, who hadn't spoken just now, asked a little puzzled: "Why didn't you accept his refuge? After we accepted him as a vassal, wouldn't it be easier to pry into the secrets of the lumberjack family?"

"That's true, but before that, we are more likely to encounter the attack of the Carita Demon Contract." Leo said seriously: "You also saw the power of Bain just now, although in terms of quantity , a little weak, but its essence is not much worse than you and me. Obviously, the source of this power is a powerful existence whose life form level is no worse than you and me. If this powerful existence can still use the rule power of this world, I think it will be I am afraid that we will be a little difficult to deal with together.”

Sylvia also nodded in approval, and then said: "To be honest, I had the idea of ​​killing him just now, to see if killing him can activate the forbidden power of the Karita demon contract."

"You reminded me." Leo suddenly thought of something at this moment, and then he took out the unclaimed holy deed belonging to the Venolin family, and then used the psionic imitation skill in front of Sylvia, To imitate the unknown energy frequency that I just discovered from Bane, and then import it into the contract of no master.

Following the introduction of Leo's imitation of psychic power, the magnificent and solemn gold contract seemed to have not recognized that it was a fake, and absorbed it without any hindrance. Afterwards, the gorgeous gold on the surface of the contract seemed to be corroded by some kind of strong acid. Little by little the disguise faded away, revealing the true face under the disguise.

I saw that the ownerless contract in Leo's hand had turned into a bone filled with abyssal runes. These abyssal runes seemed to contain very powerful and mysterious power. There was a very strange energy field.

This kind of energy field seems to have accumulated all the malicious energy in the world together, and it is extremely permeable. If ordinary people are shrouded in this kind of energy field, either their bodies will mutate into monsters, or they will become spiritual. Pollution becomes madmen, or simply mad monsters.

At the moment when this energy was generated, Leo discovered the abnormality, so he immediately created a spiritual energy seal to lock this energy around his body, and he also used it with one mind to control the crystal snake in his body. The power to swallow and absorb this most evil energy generated out of thin air, and this most evil energy is like a sumptuous meal for it.

However, even though Leo reacted so quickly, there was still a wave of evil energy that escaped and spread over the villa, which also caused the backlash of the rules of this world, and a vortex composed of black clouds soon appeared in the sky. The bottom of the vortex was right at the sky above the villa, and the most evil energy that was too late to take effect was quickly absorbed, but the black cloud vortex did not disappear because of this, and it was still suspended above the villa.

The movement in the sky was so great that even ordinary people could clearly see this wonderful scene. Everyone was guessing what happened, especially the guards outside the villa who were shocked and panicked and wanted to enter the villa. Asked about the situation, but still didn't do it, because Leo had stipulated that the secret service security and military personnel were only allowed to protect outside the villa, and they were not allowed to enter the villa without their consent.

However, the housekeeper and servants in the villa did not notice the strange scene that appeared above the villa, nor did they feel any abnormality from the study, and they were still doing what they usually do.

"The Highest Bone Contract? This is the Highest Bone Contract!" At this moment, Sylvia suddenly said in surprise, obviously she had already recognized the origin of the ownerless contract that was taking off its disguise.

Hearing this, Leo searched carefully in the database of the brain, but found no related abyss information. Obviously, this knowledge is beyond the abyss information obtained.

"What is the Supreme Bone Contract?" Leo then asked Sylvia.

Sylvia was a little surprised to see that Leo didn't know the Supreme Bone Contract, but she felt a little relieved when she thought that Leo had incomplete knowledge of the abyss, and then explained in detail what the Supreme Bone Contract was.

It turns out that this supreme bone contract is the highest contract in the Kalita magic contract, and it is also the highest level contract in the contract in the abyss witchcraft. It is said that this contract directly communicates with the source of the abyss and is regarded as a part of the source of the abyss.

And the method of making this kind of contract is very simple, that is, after a Karita demon who enters the old body sacrifices himself to the abyss, his body will become a supreme bone contract.

As for the function of the Supreme Bone Contract and how powerful it can be, Sylvia is not clear, because there is only so much content about the Supreme Bone Contract in the inheritance knowledge she has obtained, that is to say, the source of her blood. That abyssal dragon had never seen a supreme bone deed in his life.

"A kalita demon with an old body?" Leo had a slightly shocked look on his face, because he remembered that kalita demons with an elderly body were all god-like existences that had evolved to the level of Omega-level high-level life forms. To obtain a Supreme Bone Deed requires sacrificing a god. This kind of price is probably unheard of even in the universe.
