The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the implementation of the method of providing additional nutrient solution for the tree city and improving the environment of the tree city, it has indeed had a significant effect. The number of wild shamans in the shaman academy has begun to decrease, and the body mutation has gradually decreased, even if it has not reached the normal state. There are only some standards, but the overall situation seems to be developing in a good direction.

It wasn't until a few days ago that a shaman instructor went out of control, his body was completely mutated, and a large number of shaman apprentices fell into a coma at the same time. The instructors of the shaman academy realized that the previous problems had not been solved, but accumulated. burst out.

So they contacted the Academy immediately, because it was the scholars of the Academy who discovered the problem and proposed a solution. They hope that this time the Academy can also help them solve the problem and tide over the difficulties.

"There's something wrong with these natural shamans, very wrong, they don't look like shamans." After reading the information, before Leo could speak, Sylvia said very seriously.

Leo nodded in agreement, and said in a more direct language: "I think so too, the natural shaman cultivated by this shaman academy seems to be a captive beast, after so many years of evolution, it has become a poultry .”

In the world of Velen, although neither Leo nor Sylvia has studied shamanism and shamanism, they have come into contact with a lot of shaman knowledge and advanced shaman, and they know exactly what a shaman should be. look.

Although the shamanism in this world may be different from the shamanism in Velen's world, there is no difference in the core idea of ​​the original wildness. This can be seen from the rumors related to shamanism in other places.

However, when the natural shamans of this shaman academy encounter a catastrophe that can be called a catastrophe, instead of immediately organizing manpower to study countermeasures and find the source of the catastrophe, they send people to the academic city for help. This obviously violated the reaction that a shaman should have, and Leo and Silvia also felt that something was wrong.

"Do you think this might be an academic city..." Sylvia looked at the door of the room, felt the surroundings again, and said in a deep voice after finding no surveillance.

"It's possible, but..." Leo hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said with some doubts: "But the tree species seems to be provided by the great shaman at that time."

"But the idea of ​​integrating spirit-absorbing vines into pulo trees may have been proposed by scholars in the city of learning." Sylvia said while taking out a piece of information next to him and handing it to Leo: "It says that every year It should not be a coincidence that the academic city will send people to the Shaman Tree City to check the situation, record the growth of the seven Pulo trees, and help the natural shaman here adjust the formula of the nutrient solution."

Leo casually took the document and flipped through it, then asked Sylvia hesitantly, "Shall we help them solve this matter?"

Sylvia frowned and said, "This needs to be considered."

At this moment, both Leo and Sylvia were able to confirm that the source of the disaster that caused the crisis and the survival of this shaman academy should be the spirit-absorbing vines that were integrated into the seven Pulo trees, although Big Sam was integrating the spirit-absorbing vines into the Puro The tree must have done a lot of purification and cleaning before, but from the fact that the spirit-absorbing vine can still retain its original ability, it is obvious that the purification and cleaning have not been completed thoroughly.

Since the original ability of the spirit-absorbing vine endowed by the abyss has been preserved, the erosion instinct possessed by all abyssal creatures should not be affected. The natural shaman who has studied in this shaman academy for so many years has integrated the spirit into it all the year round. Among the seven Puluo trees that constitute the foundation of the shaman academy, they will inevitably be eroded by the abyssal breath hidden in the spirit-absorbing vines.

Even if some protective measures make the erosion force very weak, even so weak that even senior shamans such as shaman instructors can't feel it, but this erosion will not disappear, it will only accumulate, and over time, sooner or later One day, the hidden danger caused by the breath of the abyss will explode, just like it is now.

For others, it may be very difficult to solve the current crisis in the shaman academy, and even the big shamans who gather all the factions in this world may not be able to solve this problem completely, but for Leo and Silvia Speaking of it, it is too simple to solve the problem of the Shaman Academy. Even if it is not a piece of cake, it is actually not much different in terms of difficulty.

Although the spirit-absorbing vine is an extremely difficult abyss creature, Leo and Sylvia have countless ways to deal with it. In addition, Leo has the power of the abyss serpent, Sylvia itself is The blood of the abyssal dragons are all abyssal superiors, so it is very simple to suppress and clean up the abyssal aura hidden in those natural shamans.

Although the mutation caused by the breath of the abyss cannot be reversed, at least these natural shamans will not continue to mutate and continue to deteriorate. As long as they take time to recuperate, the body mutation can be easily recovered.

However, the problem is that judging from the hidden information revealed by various materials, the academic city obviously played a very disgraceful role in this disaster, and may be the leader of this disaster. This shaman school city even From the very beginning, it was a long-term experimental project of the scholars of the Academic City. Once Leo and Sylvia solved the hidden dangers of the Shaman Academy City, it would inevitably lead to the complete failure of this century-long experiment. One can imagine the reaction.

The reaction of Academic City is only secondary, what is important is what role Teresa Kingdom and the Belmont family played in this matter.

There is no doubt that no matter how bold the scholars in the academic city are, how fine and perfect the layout is, it is obviously impossible to completely hide from the Theresa Kingdom officials for hundreds of years, whether it is Shaman Tree City The establishment of The Teresa Kingdom, or the various treatment given by the Teresa Kingdom to the natural shaman who is willing to join the shaman academy, all show that the Teresa Kingdom is definitely an active participant in this matter even if it is not the leader .

As for the Belmont family also playing a role in it, it is mainly because the spirit-absorbing vine, a special plant of the abyss, cannot be obtained by ordinary people. In the Kingdom of Teresa, only the abyss dragon blood, and The Belmont family, who have been in deep contact with the abyss, was able to get this thing. Even when Big Sam integrated the spirit-absorbing vine into the Pulo tree, the Belmont family might send people to participate in it, assisting the big shaman to suppress the absorbing vine. The abyss characteristic of spirit vines.

Now, what happened in Shaman Tree City involved Teresa Kingdom, Academic City and Belmont Family at the same time, which made Leo and Sylvia have to think about the gains and losses.

After a moment of silence, Penny, who was standing aside and feeling a little bored, suddenly said, "Teacher, is it really necessary to think so much with your abilities?"

Hearing Penny's words, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. As Penny said, they don't need to think so much at all, they can do whatever they want, maybe because of special The particularity of the Leisa royal family and the Belmont family made their mentality a little abnormal. If they encountered the same situation before, how could they think about this, consider that, and just deal with it according to their own wishes.

Thinking of this, Leo and Sylvia had already made a decision, and then they opened the door and signaled the shaman apprentice guarding the door to find the shaman instructor who had brought them here before.

"We have found the cause of the accident, but we need further confirmation." After the shaman instructor arrived, without waiting for the other party to speak, Leo took the initiative to say: "Go and move some comatose shaman apprentices here." , I want to check their situation and see if the method we thought of is useful."

Hearing Leo's order, the shaman instructor didn't think too much, and without asking, he immediately led people to move over a dozen comatose shaman apprentices at one time, filling up the not-so-big room.

At this time, other shaman teachers also came after hearing the news. They were all crowded in the corner of the room. So many people have spent so many days without finding the cause and solution of the accident, but these two scholars from the Academy City only checked the past information, found out the problem, and found the solution. The solution, which made them feel like they were being slapped in the face, and it also made them full of contradictions in their hearts. They expected Leo and the others to find a solution, but also hoped that Leo and the others' methods would not work.

After the comatose shaman apprentices moved in, Leo and Sylvia did not let the shaman instructors who followed them avoid them, but directly in front of everyone, each chose a shaman apprentice to check their situation , and then try to use the method of clearing the spirit-absorbing vine to clear the weak and stubborn abyssal breath of the spirit-absorbing vine in the shaman apprentice.

In the eyes of the surrounding shamans, when Leo and Sylvia squatted down to inspect the apprentices, an invisible power suddenly appeared on their bodies. Although this power was not aimed at the people around them, it still caused them serious Without the influence, these people have the urge to bow their heads and kneel down.

"Great Shaman?" A person appeared in many people's minds, but soon they felt that their judgment was wrong, because the invisible power of the two people in front of them far surpassed the Great Shaman they had seen before. Full.

"Are the scholars in Academic City so powerful?" A question arose in the minds of the shaman instructors.

Just when the shaman instructors were shocked and surprised by the invisible power of Leo and Sylvia, the shaman apprentice in their hands changed. The face of the shaman apprentice who had fallen into a deep coma like a dead person for the past two days At this moment, a painful expression suddenly appeared, and this painful expression was still distorted, and in the end it was distorted to a hideous level, even the people next to him had the illusion of empathy when they saw this expression.

Although the two shaman apprentices fell into extreme pain at the hands of Leo and Sylvia, the shaman instructors around did not stop and reprimand Leo and Sylvia, but looked at them expectantly and joyfully. them.

It's no wonder that they are happy about the pain of the two apprentices, because they have tried various methods to stimulate these apprentices who have fallen into a coma these two days, but the results are useless, if they can't feel the pain of these apprentices. With a breath of life, perhaps they have regarded these apprentices as corpses.

Today, although apprentices are suffering unknown excruciating pain, in the eyes of shaman teachers, it is much better to have a painful reaction than to have no reaction at all.

Just when many shaman instructors were full of expectations, the shaman apprentices in the hands of Leo and Sylvia suddenly opened their eyes, but their eyeballs were not normal eyeballs, but dark as ink, full of evil The breath made all the shaman instructors around couldn't help arousing the shaman power in themselves, forming a layer of protection on themselves.

"Evil? What kind of evil power is this?" Several shaman teachers could not bear the fear in their hearts and whispered.

While everyone was still wondering where the evil power in the apprentice's body came from, a black oil-like substance flowed out from the apprentice's eyeballs. Once the substance left the eyeballs, it immediately turned into black smoke and dissipated in the air, and everyone Everyone could hear the shrill screams, and everyone felt a strong sense of dizziness. Even if someone covered their ears in time, they still couldn't stop the transmission of the screams, as if the screams were It is the same as passing directly into the depths of the soul.

Fortunately, the process of the black oil from flowing out of the eyeballs to disappearing was very short, only a few seconds, and there were not many evil substances in the apprentice's eyeballs. After dripping a few drops of the black oil substance, the eyeballs completely returned to normal. The pained expression on their faces also disappeared, replaced by a relaxed expression after extreme exhaustion, and they fell into a coma again, but this time the coma was no longer like a dead body like other shaman apprentices around them, but more I was so angry that I could even hear their snoring.

"How are they?" The shaman teacher who first came into contact with Leo also saw the situation of the apprentices, but he was still a little uneasy, so he couldn't wait to confirm to Leo.

Leo replied affirmatively: "It's all right, but they have suffered a lot of physical and mental damage, and they need to cultivate for a period of time before they can recover."

"Very good, this is very good!" Hearing this, the shaman instructor also showed a smile on his face. The other shaman instructors didn't seem to believe Leo's words, and they stepped forward to check the bodies of the two shaman apprentices. The situation, after confirming that they were all right, they all expressed their gratitude to Leo and Sylvia, and others asked what method Leo and Sylvia used to save the apprentice, and the evil power flowing out of the apprentice's eyeballs What is the condensate.

One of the shaman teachers asked with concern: "What caused this disaster?"

After hearing this question, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other and said, "Do you want to hear the unmodified real situation, or the revised real situation?"
