The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is Teresa's royal family and the Belmont family helping to establish this shaman academy just to make it a manufacturing factory and trading center for shaman wonders?" Leo made an inference based on what he saw now, Sylvia After listening, he was a little suspicious.

"Don't forget, there is still an abyss." Leo reminded.

"You mean to say that the Theresa royal family and the Belmont family in this world are in the abyss..." Sylvia's face was slightly gloomy, and she shook her head immediately, and said: "The Belmont family paid so much to escape from the abyss. With such a painful price, how could you want to go back again?"

"I think it's very possible." Leo retorted: "Don't forget, even the orthodox Belmont family's inheritance knowledge in the Velen world is missing. The reason why you know the relationship between the Belmont family and the abyss and the Bell The past of the Monte family is due to the conclusions we have drawn after our exploration and research, but do you think the Belmont family in this world and those who have the blood of the Belmont family know these things? They definitely don’t know. If, they don’t know What do you think they would think when they inspired the power of the Abyss bloodline in the past history of their family, and then discovered the existence of the Abyss? Do they think that they should belong to the Abyss, and that the Abyss is their hometown?"

After hearing Leo's analysis, Sylvia's expression became more and more gloomy. Although she didn't want to believe the analysis, he had to admit that Leo's analysis was very reasonable. In the case of family history, if she finds that there is a place that has a deep bond with her blood, then she will definitely think that there is her hometown, and she will try her best to understand it, find the way to it, and even go back to There.

Leo felt Sylvia's worry about the Belmont family in this world, so he relieved: "You don't have to worry too much, judging from the current situation here, the Belmont family or Theresa's royal family and there The contact is only at the stage of understanding, and it seems that they are still very wary of the abyss, and may even regard the abyss as a natural mine full of resources and wealth."

While listening, Sylvia looked at the surrounding situation, and her complexion improved a little, but she still showed her dissatisfaction with the Belmont family in this world, saying: "Only a lunatic thinks that it can be done without any price. Asking for things from the abyss, everything they take away now will be returned at a hundred times, a thousand times the price in the future."

Sensing that Sylvia's mood had returned to normal, Leo jokingly said, "That's your clansman, isn't it good to curse them like this?"

"This is not a curse, it is a fact, and it is also a prophecy." Sylvia glanced at Leo, and said with a little deep meaning: "And it is not certain whether they are my people."

Leo didn't say anything more, looked around again, and suggested: "Why don't we leave something behind? This way they can contact us more proactively, saving us from looking for clues everywhere."

"I agree." Sylvia nodded.

Therefore, the two left relatively obvious traces in several relatively important tree houses, such as the tree house for storing ledgers and the tree house specially used to dissect the creatures of the abyss. After understanding the situation, I will definitely come here to check the first time, and these traces will definitely be found. At that time, Leo and Sylvia only need to wait for his visit in the academic city, and maybe they can see him at once. To the people of the Belmont family and Theresa royal family.

After leaving traces, the two checked the city again. After finding no other useful information, they returned to the tree heart forbidden area from the original road, and then closed the passage.

"How to solve the hidden dangers of this tree city now?" Sylvia asked, pointing to the seven tree hearts and the surrounding blood fruits.

"What do you think?" Leo asked back.

Sylvia expressed her original thoughts, and said: "In the memory of the abyss dragon inheritance I obtained, there is a way to change the characteristics of the spirit-absorbing vine so that it no longer produces abyssal breath, but its other characteristics must also be the same. It will be affected to a certain extent, and by then it should not be possible to gather so many natural breaths in this tree city, and at most it will be slightly better than ordinary forests."

Leo nodded and said: "My method is similar to yours, but I can use shamanism to increase the spirituality of the seven tree hearts afterwards, and compensate for the lack of natural breath in terms of shamanic spirituality."

"Have you mastered shamanism?" Sylvia asked.

"No." Leo shook his head and explained: "I discovered some mysteries between the spirituality of shamans and the spirituality of creatures before. I should be able to imitate some shamanic witchcraft for stimulating the spirituality of creatures." He said, He paused, and then said: "However, I have changed my mind now. I think we should keep the abyssal breath produced by the spirit-absorbing vine."

Sylvia didn't question Leo's change of mind, but nodded and agreed: "I think so too."

The reason why the two agreed so much was because after looking at the hidden area, they thought that the real purpose of the Belmont family and the Theresa royal family's assistance in building this shaman academy might be related to the abyss, and depending on the situation, they had already planned it. One hundred years, if they completely wiped out everything related to Tree City and Abyss now, then one can imagine the reaction of the Belmont family and Theresa royal family.

Before officially contacting the Belmont family in this world and understanding the branch of this family, neither Leo nor Sylvia had any plans to become enemies with it. Seeing them, they also don't intend to do anything. After all, in their view, it is only a matter of time before this world, which is suspended in mid-air by the world tree, falls into the abyss, and even they can't change everything.

Sylvia asked again: "Now do you have any good ways to preserve the characteristics of the spirit-absorbing vine and eliminate the hidden dangers of the tree city?"

"Isn't the solution right in front of us?" Leo pointed to the heart of the tree and the surrounding blood fruits, and said, "Actually, the builder of this tree city had already found a solution. I don’t know much about it, so I didn’t do it thoroughly, leaving hidden dangers, and we just need to make up for this defect.”

Sylvia also looked at the blood fruits around her, and felt that the blood fruits were slowly absorbing the faint breath of the abyss in the tree city, so she nodded approvingly.

As Leo said, the tree city itself has a solution to the abyssal breath, but this solution is flawed, so that the blood fruits in the tree heart forbidden area cannot completely absorb all the abyssal breath produced by the spirit-absorbing vine, and the tree The natural power of the heart itself can only suppress the abyssal breath in the blood fruit, and cannot truly purify the excess abyssal breath in the blood fruit. In the end, after the abyssal breath stored in the blood fruit reaches its limit, the abyssal breath produced by Shucheng itself It will explode because it cannot be absorbed, and it will eat back the creatures in the city.

The rescue method adopted by the seven Pulo trees that make up the tree city is to form blood fruits that can absorb the breath of the abyss outside the forbidden area of ​​the tree heart. Only then can Leo and Sylvia find the unfinished puppets in the urban area below. The blood fruit, but even if the blood fruit with the power of nature wants to grow to the extent that it can absorb the breath of the abyss, I am afraid it will take a long time. In the end, the far water will not be able to dissolve the near fire. Before the blood fruit grows mature, the breath of the abyss The backlash appeared in the tree city.

It stands to reason that the great shaman in charge of Tree City should be able to foresee the disaster in advance, but he didn't do anything, but left on his own initiative at this critical moment and let the disaster happen. The great shaman probably also has some problems, that is, he doesn't know what roles the Belmont family, Theresa royal family and Academic City play in this.

Now, what Leo needs to do is very simple, that is to strengthen the blood fruit's ability to absorb the abyssal breath, change the characteristics of the spirit-absorbing vine to actively emit the abyssal breath, and let the abyssal breath produced by the spirit-absorbing vine pass through directly without overflowing. The trunk, branches and leaves of the Pulo tree are introduced into the blood fruit.

Secondly, he also needs to increase the spirituality of the tree heart, and improve its purification ability, especially for the purification ability of the abyss, so that it can be purified before the abyss breath absorbed by the blood fruits in the tree heart forbidden area reaches the saturation limit , to prevent the abyssal breath from overflowing, and at the same time preserve the abyssal breath in the blood fruit, so that it can still form the eye of the abyss.

Now that the plan has been formulated, it is time to implement it.

Transforming the spirit-absorbing vine is fairly simple. Whether it is the memory of the abyss snake obtained by Leo, or the inheritance of the abyss dragon obtained by Sylvia, there are a lot of ways to deal with the spirit-absorbing vine. If you choose it casually, there are dozens of transformations The method of spirit-absorbing vines, even if the spirit-absorbing vines and Puluo trees have been completely fused together and become another pseudo-abyssal creature, these transformation methods can still be used, and only need to be slightly modified.

However, when transforming the purification ability and spirituality of the Pulo tree heart, there were some small troubles. It should be said that Leo made the problem simple, because the tree city composed of the seven Pulo trees was not what he thought at first. It is a whole as it is, as long as one tree heart is transformed, the seven Puluo trees are actually a single individual, even if their branches are intertwined, they are not actually connected, but their tree But the spirituality is connected together, which means that if Leo stimulates the spirituality of the tree, seven tree hearts must be activated at the same time, and the balance must not be disrupted. Otherwise, once the balance of the spirituality of the tree is broken, then The entire tree city may start to disintegrate itself from the inside.

Moreover, before the spirit of the tree heart is not stimulated, the purification ability of the tree heart cannot be transformed by hand.

For this reason, Leo can only see if he can find a solution from the collection of books and related materials in this shaman academy. If he does not find a suitable solution, he can only give up the transformation of the tree heart and only keep the transformation of the spirit-absorbing vine. In this way, the people from the shaman academy must regularly clean up the abyssal breath in the blood fruit through other methods, otherwise, the side effects caused by the backlash of the blood fruit will be more dangerous than this catastrophe.

Because the shaman apprentices woke up not long after Leo and Sylvia entered the forbidden area of ​​the heart of the tree, the tree tumors growing on some shaman teachers with obvious mutations also lost their activity at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even some The tree tumors on the slightly mutated people dried up and fell off naturally, so after experiencing the effect personally, the shamans in the tree city also reached the peak of their trust in Leo and Silvia. It is no exaggeration to say that Even if the great shaman of the college came back at this time, their trust would never be shaken. After all, even in the past, no one could reverse the mutation in the healing body. Once mutations appeared in these natural shamans, the mutated parts would be It will keep getting worse and worse, and eventually get out of control completely.

Because of this, when Leo and Silvia told them that they could solve the hidden dangers of the entire shaman academy, they also believed it completely, and unconditionally cooperated with all the requests made by Leo, including opening up to him all the hidden dangers related to natural shamanism. The collection of books full of mysterious knowledge, even allowing him to choose anything in the secret library of the academy, for those great mentors and others who tried to stop Leo, they also decisively shot and imprisoned him without showing any mercy.

Under such circumstances, Sylvia also took the opportunity to give a little guidance with words, which made these shaman instructors have a faint thought of dismissing the college's great shaman and seizing the management rights of the college.

With the cooperation of the shaman tutor, Leo has changed from a person who has a little understanding of shaman knowledge to a senior scholar who has mastered the mysteries of shaman in just two days. There are no secrets anymore.

In addition, he also found a way to solve the seven tree hearts and stimulate spirituality at the same time from the secret technique of the natural shaman to build the tree city. This method is ready-made, and he doesn't need to think about it at all.

Because if it develops according to the normal situation, the tree city built by the natural shaman will undergo three spiritual stimulations, and finally transform into a tree spirit, and the great shaman who owns this tree spirit will also have the power of a demigod. God's power is limited in scope, and only within the realm of the tree spirits can one have such powerful power. Once they leave the realm of the tree spirits, the great shaman will only be an ordinary great shaman.

However, I don’t know the reason, maybe it’s because the tree spirit that was finally cultivated is an abyss creature, or maybe it’s because it’s worried that the tree city will collapse due to the failure of stimulating spirituality. After that, the great shaman never tried to continue to stimulate his spirituality.

However, Leo doesn't need to worry so much. Even if the tree city collapses, it's nothing to him. The big deal is to use strong means to contact the Belmont family or Theresa's royal family, so after finding a way , he directly used the power of nightmare to disguise the power of shaman, and spiritually stimulated the seven tree hearts at the same time.
