The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What do you think of the relocation of the castle?" After dinner, Sylvia asked Leo when she returned to the apartment in Baihuayuan.

Leo thought about it seriously, and said, "It's hard."

Leo didn't just say it casually, but he came up with the answer after really thinking about it. With his current ability, he wants to completely relocate this Belmont Castle to other places and keep it in its original state. It is a very difficult thing.

First of all, the biggest problem is that the location of this castle is so good, it seems like it was tailor-made for the Belmont family, and it is almost impossible to find other similar places.

After Leo entered the castle, he had carefully scanned the entire range of the castle several times with the mental network, and even built a complete crater landform model in his brain. He found that the Belmont family did not just build the castle on volcanic lava. It is as simple as building other villages and towns elsewhere in the crater.

In fact, both castles and towns are built according to the energy field of the crater, that is to say, the place where the castle is built is a large central energy field, and other villages and towns are also built on different energy fields, and all The energy fields of all are connected together through the underground lava undercurrent.

In addition, castles and towns hide large rune circles, and these rune circles integrate these energy fields on the ground to form a special energy field that covers the entire active crater.

The cub of the abyssal dragon also played a key role in this energy field. It could absorb the turbulence of the ground and underground energy fields, keeping the entire energy field in a stable state.

And in this energy field that can be output stably, the blood of the abyssal dragon can get more pregnancy, and is more easily stimulated. It is no exaggeration to say that if Sylvia can live here for ten years, even if She doesn't use any method to temper her blood, and the blood of the abyss dragon in her body can also automatically upgrade to a level.

It is precisely because everything here is carefully crafted for the Belmont family, and even the environment is carefully selected, so if you want to copy everything here to other regions intact, let alone the current Leo, even It is impossible for Leo to reach the level of a ninth-level psyker. After all, there are too many factors to consider. A small problem in any link will make the relocation fail.

In addition to the overall factors of Belmont Castle, there is another big problem that is difficult for Leo to solve perfectly. This problem is the problem of the cub of the abyss dragon.

The people of the Belmont family have not noticed that it has been many years since the cub of the abyssal dragon was placed in the center of the lava lake outside the castle. In fact, after so many years of energy field fusion, the abyssal dragon cub has completely integrated with the energy field of the entire crater and the lava lake below.

Recently, this crater is recovering from a dormant state. It is not caused by the recovery of the volcano itself, but the abyss dragon cub is controlling the recovery of the volcano a little bit. It should have gradually begun to regain consciousness, but he cannot get rid of the whole energy The bondage of the field is trying to get out of the trap through the power of the volcano. Once the volcano erupts, the energy field will also be broken, and it can also get out of the trap.

Under such circumstances, relocating the abyssal dragon cub is undoubtedly helping the abyssal dragon cub get out of trouble early. At that time, the abyssal dragon cub will either be killed or escaped by it. That kind of result will lead to the failure of the castle relocation.

Leo carefully told Sylvia about the difficulty of relocation that he had considered, and Sylvia was a little surprised when she heard it, because at first she thought that the difficulty of relocation was in the mysterious rune circles all over the castle. Unexpectedly, the most troublesome thing is the living body of the abyss dragon cub.

"Has that cub regained consciousness?" Sylvia frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "We'll have a look at this matter during the sacrifice, maybe I can find a way to solve it."

Leo heard the words and said, "Do you want to help them move?"

"Help if you can." Sylvia responded flatly.

In fact, in Sylvia's view, although the Belmont family's blood is prosperous and strong because of the active volcano and the cub of the abyssal dragon, this kind of prosperity is just an appearance, and in fact, the Belmont family in this world The Monte family has developed to the limit, and it is basically impossible to go any further, because no matter what consciousness they use to stimulate the blood, they will never be able to cross that crucial step and reach the level of demigods.

Instead of staying in the same place forever and gradually declining, it is better to give it a go, throw away the shackles and conveniences of the past, and go back to the road of natural blood stimulation, which may allow the family to develop differently. There is a great danger, and the possibility that the family will eventually decline is also very high.

After exchanging ideas, Leo and Sylvia agreed on the matter of helping the Belmont family relocate as much as possible. As for other aspects, there was no result for the time being, and they planned to learn more about the situation here. Then make a decision, after all, Leo has to admit that even a mental network scan may not be able to find out all the secrets hidden in the entire castle.

Because of the light of the lava, even after nightfall, the castle is still shrouded in light, like daytime. After talking for a while, Leo and Sylvia rested. Except for the guards who are still patrolling back and forth in the castle, no one else They all fell asleep.

However, some hidden things in the castle just entered the active period at this time. I saw the monster sculptures standing on each building that Leo had discovered before moving as if they were alive. Jumping down from the position, although the body is all made of stones, it is extremely heavy, but the jumping movement is as light as losing weight, even when it lands, it is silent, even if it is stepped on the grass, the ground has not collapsed .

After landing on the ground, these monster statues quickly moved towards the altar where the cubs of the abyssal dragon were located, and the way they moved was very strange. Their entire bodies turned into black shadows, and they passed through the shadows one by one. , Even if they walked in front of those patrolling guards, those guards didn't notice anything passing by at all.

Soon, those monster statues of various shapes came to the altar and knelt neatly on the platform of the altar, and the object of their kneeling was the cub of the abyss dragon who was restrained in front.

It's just that these monster statues are not the only ones on this altar platform. The three members of the Belmont family who Leo sensed had the aura of the abyss on their bodies also stood on the platform. They seemed to be waiting just like these monster statues. What.

After a while, I saw a bright red brand emerge from the skull-like forehead of the cub of the abyssal dragon, followed by bloody tentacles extending from the brand, moving towards the people and sculptures on the platform, gradually touching touch their foreheads.

Facing such weird tentacles, neither the monster statue nor the members of the Belmont family made any resistance movements, but let the tentacles penetrate into their bodies from the place of touch, and appeared on their faces and bodies respectively. There are different symbols, and these symbols all exude a very strong abyssal atmosphere without exception.

Not long after that, the tentacles were retracted from their bodies, and when they were pulled out of their bodies, a little bit of golden substance was taken away, and finally disappeared completely on the forehead of the abyssal dragon cub. The symbol on the forehead Also disappeared together.

After all that happened last night, the monster statues stood up one after another, quickly followed the long way back to the castle, stood where they were before, and then returned to their original statue form.

The three Belmont family members stood on the platform with their eyes slightly closed for a long time, as if they were digesting and adapting to certain changes in their bodies. When they fully adapted to the abnormalities in their bodies and opened their eyes , A mass of black and red flames burst out from their eyes, and quickly returned to their eyes.

Afterwards, the three turned around and left the sacrificial platform, and returned to their respective rooms along the corridor on the edge of the city wall, as if nothing had happened, but what they didn't know was that everything that happened on the platform was seen by others .

I saw that on the top floor of the tallest fireworks tower in the castle, this is the residence of the Duke. The old Duke is sitting on a desk at the moment, and a polygonal metal block is placed in front of him, and rays of light shoot out from the metal block. , suspended in the air, forming a three-dimensional image, and the content in the image is what happened on the platform just now. The symbol and the black flames sprayed out by the three Belmont family members when they opened their eyes naturally did not appear.

The old prince seemed to be familiar with this situation, his face was very calm, after looking at both sides repeatedly, he raised his hand and made a gesture, the metal block changed the screen quickly as if he had received an order, this At that time, the scene changed to the Hundred Flowers Garden.

Immediately afterwards, the old prince made another gesture, controlling the screen to move towards the apartment in the courtyard, but when the three-dimensional image entered the apartment, the image collapsed into a mess of mottled spots in front of the old prince, making it impossible to see any specific details. form.

Seeing this situation, the old prince was a little puzzled, and then quickly adjusted it through gesture control, trying to restore the picture to normal, but the final result remained the same, all he saw were some messy and dense mottled spots.

Seeing this situation, the old prince did not make any more attempts, but raised his hand and directly touched the polygonal metal block, and then saw the metal block wriggling and changing shape like a water polo, turning into a cube. A ray of light was projected from one of the sides, recombined into a three-dimensional image.

The projected image this time is a person, at least from the appearance point of view, the image is very blurry due to unknown reasons, and it is far worse than the platform image seen before, and it is almost impossible to see the details of the human figure in the image.

"Why contact me at this time, didn't I say it? Only contact me when you encounter the most dangerous situation." A voice came out from the cube at this time, and the language used by the voice was not Teresa's native language. It is a French language mixed with local accents.

The old duke also said in a deep voice in the same language: "Now is the most dangerous time. The cub of the abyss dragon has awakened, many years earlier than you expected."

The other party said indifferently: "Although it is more than a hundred years earlier than I expected, it is normal. After all, it is impossible for me to calculate so accurately."

"I'm sure it didn't wake up naturally. It was mixed with other things when it woke up, and activated those gargoyles." The old duke added very seriously, and then gestured towards the metal block , said: "I can't explain clearly, just look at what they did on the sacrificial platform just now."

Under the control of the old prince's gestures, the image record that happened on the platform just now was transmitted to the other side, and the humanoid image seemed to be watching this video.

After a while, the man's voice came out from the metal block again, saying: "No, you are mistaken, the abyss dragon has not woken up, it is still in a deep sleep state, but something came through the body of the abyss dragon. When I came to this world, I was only restrained because of the layout of the castle." He paused for a while, and continued: "The movement of the volcano should be caused by something in the dragon's body, it should be trying to force you Relocating the castle can just destroy the layout of the castle and escape."

"Then what should we do now?" the old prince asked with a gloomy face.

The other party did not give a response, but did not make any movements as if he was in deep thought. After a long time, he said slowly: "I remember you mentioned that Leo Dodd and Sylvia Belmont were going to visit your place castle?"

"Yes, I invited them to participate in this year's Bloodline Sacrifice." The old duke nodded and said, "They are in the castle now."

"What did they say?" asked the other party.

The old duke was stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't told them yet, but I contacted you as soon as possible."

The other party suggested: "You can consult their opinions first, tell them all about the situation, and see if they have a solution."

"What about you?" The old duke felt that the other party wanted to shirk responsibility when he heard the other party's proposal.

The other party seemed to have guessed what the old duke was thinking, and added: "Regardless of whether those two people give a solution, I will come to the castle before the start of this year's ceremony. I also want to see this wizard from Velen Is it the tower wizard that the teacher mentioned?"

After hearing the other party's decision, the old duke's serious expression softened a little. In his eyes, the other party's abilities were much stronger than Leo and Sylvia's. The crisis should be resolved smoothly.
