The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The carriage drove for a long time, and it was obvious that the carriage was taking a detour. There was an unknown energy with a suppression effect in the carriage several times in the middle, and the energy fluctuations were the same. Obviously, the carriage should have repeatedly started from the same place. drive by.

It didn't take Leo long to decipher the cuneiform combination in the carriage, and the barrier effect of this carriage is equivalent to nothing for him. If he wants to, he can easily let the spirit net break through the limit, perceive go outside.

However, he didn't intend to do this, because doing so would more or less touch the power of the cuneiform characters on the carriage. In that case, people outside would also notice it, which would easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

The most important thing for Leo now is to see the No. 0 relic. As for exploring other secrets, these are temporarily out of his consideration.

I don't know how long it has passed, because of the isolation effect, it is difficult for people sitting in the car to feel the flow of time, and the car stops without knowing it. It is not until the door of the car opens suddenly that the people in the car realize that the place has arrived .

Leo and Sylvia got out of the carriage respectively and looked at the situation outside. They were a little surprised by the outside scene, because they always thought that the destination of this trip should be the underground of the Congress Building, but now they are in the On the outskirts of Kartaros, on the hillside of a hill, from their current position, they can still see the ten spherical spires of the Congress Building in the city center in the distance.

"This is Pajaka Mountain." Sylvia saw the shape of several key buildings in the city from where she was now, and analyzed the current location.

Pajaka Mountain is a very ordinary hill on the outskirts of Kartaros. The unusual place here is the military base of the Federal Capital Defense Force. There are a total of four special regiments and about 150,000 people stationed here. It is the entire capital county. The most tightly guarded place even surpassed the office buildings of several important departments in the city.

Leo and Sylvia couldn't help but glance at each other at this moment, and exchanged views with each other.

Both of them knew that they should have been misled, thinking that there was a secret laboratory under the Capitol, but in fact it was probably a trap, and there might be some trouble if they broke in rashly.

However, after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that this kind of misleading should be blamed for not thinking seriously, because it is obvious that the No. under the ass.

"You two, please follow me." The officer came in front of Leo and Sylvia, then pointed to the high-end steam car beside him, led the two of them to sit on it, and drove in with the steam car. In a dense forest, it didn't take long to come to a small hill, and there was a very spacious tunnel entrance on the rock wall of the hill.

After the steam car drove into the entrance, it drove along a spiraling downward road. Along the way, a large number of soldiers could be seen guarding. These soldiers not only held the most advanced weapons of the Otter Federation, but also wore a large number of similar amulets. Leo's mental network can feel energy fluctuations with almost the same frequency from these amulets.

After seeing these talismans, Leo realized that the Otto Federation's research on various extraordinary powers and knowledge may have reached a very deep level, and it has been practical and mass-produced, just like the talismans on these soldiers .

Although in Leo's eyes, the power of these talismans is too weak to even be considered a miracle, but just because it does not require a large number of extraordinary people to participate and can be mass-produced by ordinary people, what is represented behind these talismans Its potential and value can already be said to be immeasurable.

In addition to these soldiers who were in charge of guarding the secret experimental base, Leo also saw the lighting lamps at the top of the tunnel. Those lamps were not electric lights, but a cuneiform amulet that could generate light and heat.

Leo, who saw these things, had no doubt that there might be some lethal cuneiform amulets hidden on these soldiers. After all, in his opinion, any kind of the most advanced technology would be used first in war or without exception. In terms of weapons, if you want to come to the Otter Federation, there should be no exception.

"Can I take a look?" Leo asked, pointing at a string of pendant-like objects hanging on the waist of a guard soldier beside the accompanying officer.

The soldier was stunned when he heard the words, and didn't know how to react for a while, so he looked at the officer beside him.

The officer didn't say anything, just gestured to the soldier.

The soldier then took off the pendant from his waist and handed it to Leo.

I saw that the pendants on this string of pendants are all composed of cuneiform characters without exception, which are the same as the strange things composed of cuneiform characters that Leo saw before, but different from the other strange things. The cuneiform combination of this string of ornaments is in an unstable state, and the power of these cuneiform characters can be triggered without using a specific trigger method, but the effect of this power is not eye-catching, but a subtle effect, and Triggers can be accumulated repeatedly.

Just when the other party handed him the pendant just now, the cuneiform characters on the pendant were triggered once, and the power contained in it spread throughout his body along Leo's hand touching the pendant, and twisted his body. The sense of fatigue and fatigue made him instantly feel refreshed and full of vitality.

Obviously, this kind of pendant is a bit like the adrenaline used on the battlefield, which can make ordinary soldiers forget all fatigue and fatigue instantly, and become a full-fledged soldier again.

However, just like too many injections of adrenaline will cause irreparable damage to the human body, the twisted force produced by the cuneiform characters on this string of pendants is also squeezing the health of the soldiers, don't look at it now This soldier behaved normally. In fact, his body was full of hidden wounds. To a certain extent, his lifespan was also shortened a lot. Once the pendant no longer had any effect on him, his body would collapse in a short time. If it falls, it is very likely that sudden death will eventually occur.

Although there is no evidence, Leo can be sure that the Otto Federation must know the side effects of this pendant. For those high-level Otto Federation soldiers, these low-level soldiers are just consumables.

Although Leo knew the danger of this thing, he didn't intend to say it out, but returned the thing to the soldier.

The steam car soon came to the bottom of the spiral tunnel, and saw a metal gate standing at the end, at which Longanus was waiting at the gate with some people who looked like researchers.

When the steam car stopped, Leo and Sylvia directly pushed the door and went down. Langnus led the people to meet him, and did not explain that he had misled Leo into thinking that the bottom of the Capitol was the experimental base. Instead, he directly introduced the researchers around him to Leo and Sylvia.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and didn't bother with the matter, they had a very decent conversation with those researchers.

Although these researchers showed great admiration and approval for Leo and Sylvia in front of Longanus, both of them could see that each of these researchers might be contemptuous and disdainful in their hearts. Perhaps they thought that the two People only got research qualifications by virtue of their relationship with Langenus. Due to the reputation and authority of Langenus, not only did they dare not express their opposition, but they even wanted to welcome them. The fake smile looks really distorted.

After chatting for a few words, Leo said directly to Longanus: "I want to see the No. 0 relic as soon as possible, after all, I have a time limit, every time wasted is an irreparable loss for me. "

"I'm afraid it won't work right now." Langenus shook his head, and before Leo showed displeasure, he explained: "Something happened to the person who entered the restricted area to study yesterday, and now it's a mess, and the staff in the restricted area are cleaning it up , It will take some time to clean up."

Leo frowned and said, "You should know that we don't mind some 'dirty things'!"

Langenus said in a deep voice: "No, it's not a question of whether you mind or not, but a question of whether the federal government wants you to see it. Let's wait a while! It will be cleaned up soon, and it won't take much time for you. "

Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia, exchanged opinions, and then nodded in agreement with Longanus's proposal.

Longanus dismissed the people around him, and he personally led Leo and Sylvia through a small passage next to the metal gate into the restricted area behind the gate.

I saw that the interior of this restricted area was a huge cave, and a spiral downward corridor was dug around the cave. On the side of the corridor close to the wall, caves were dug for offices. What is worth paying attention to is at the bottom of the cave. Holding a huge space capsule that is completely incompatible with this world, Leo can even see the colony number, fleet number, and name of the space capsule from the space capsule.

"The Third Colonial Fleet of Pris Colonial Planet, No. 13 Colonial Warehouse, Ant Nest!" Leo whispered the message on the space capsule, but the language he used was not the language of this world or the world of Velen , but the common language of the Earth Federation.

Although Longanus couldn't understand Leo's language, when he saw Leo staring at the patterns on Relic No. Do you understand the text on Relic No. 1?"

Leo did not give any positive answer, but pointed to the space colonization warehouse and asked: "Is that thing the No. 1 relic? Where did you find it?"

Langenus also smiled, did not answer, and did not follow up on the question just now.

Sylvia on the side saw the confrontation between the two and found it very interesting, so she couldn't help laughing.

Longanus curled his lips and didn't say anything. He quickly led the two to a room dug out of the rock wall. After ordering the entourage to leave, there were only three of them left in the room.

"Have you read my file?" Leo looked at Longanus and said.

"Yeah." Longanus nodded.

"The magical protective object on your body doesn't seem to be very useful. The twisting force gathered on your body is much more than two days ago," Leo said in a deep voice, "I suggest that if you haven't found something that can effectively solve the power on your body Before the method, it is best not to study those cuneiform characters, otherwise, the consequences..."

Longanus didn't care about Leo's reminder. He interrupted Leo's words and said, "Do you know that the church in this world has a legend about the original scriptures?"

"I know." Leo didn't understand why Longanus said this, but he still nodded.

In this continent, as long as it is the Church of the True God, it will claim that its canon comes from the original scriptures. According to them, the original scriptures are the source of all the words of the true God, and they are in the hands of the original ineffable existence. After the gods of this world, the gods found their original oracle from the original scriptures, and then passed it on to their believers, and finally formed the canon of each church.

Legend has it that as long as you find the scriptures in the distance, you can master the power of the gods.

At this time, Sylvia also seemed to have guessed why Longanus suddenly asked such a question, and guessed: "You mean that these cuneiform characters are the original scriptures of this world's legend?"

Langenus nodded slightly, and said: "Actually, scholars who studied cuneiform characters put forward this hypothesis a long time ago, but most people think that this hypothesis is simply delusional, and no one takes it seriously. At the beginning, I also I doubted this hypothesis until I read the document that Leo gave me two days ago. I interpreted the cuneiform text twice according to the above method, and finally interpreted the contents of the two canonical prayers of the Church of God, That’s why I think the hypothesis might be true.”

Leo shook his head and said: "In the legend, mastering the original scriptures will master the power of all the gods. This kind of thing is impossible. If these gods are the same as the ones I thought, their power It's simply impossible to be controlled by anything."

"But what if the gods here are different from the one in your heart?" Langenus retorted: "You have been in this world for so long, don't you feel that the gods in this world are very strange? He They are completely different from the gods in the world of Velen, and I even think they are not gods at all, but another kind of thing with power similar to gods."

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but look at Sylvia, and Sylvia also showed a thoughtful look on her face. Obviously, if one guesses according to what Langenus said, those upper races in the abyss It seems to be in line with his guess.

However, the current situation in this world is not like being invaded by the abyss at all, and even this world has a strong suppression effect on the power of the abyss. Sylvia is already regarded as the upper race of the abyss inspired by blood at this moment, and The limitations of her powers in this world make it difficult to use her full power.

If those gods are all abyssal upper-class races, then how powerful these abyssal upper-class races must have to be able to disguise themselves as gods despite being greatly suppressed.

The three people in the room seemed to be lost in thought and did not talk to each other until someone knocked on the door and came in, indicating that the restricted area had been cleaned up, and the silent atmosphere in the room was broken.
