The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing the words of the giant dragon, both Sylvia and Leo showed surprise expressions on their faces. Sylvia's surprise was because he couldn't understand the language used by the giant dragon, but he felt as if he was I heard it there, but Leo's surprise was entirely because the language used by the dragon giant turned out to be the pure universal language of the universe, and the other party actually revealed his true identity in one word.

"Can you explain the meaning of the former universe in detail?" Leo quickly calmed down after being surprised, and asked very seriously.

The dragon giant was silent for a while, and said: "I can't give an explanation."

"Can't give an explanation?" Leo hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Why do you call me a survivor of the former universe?"

The dragon giant said in a deep voice: "Because you have information left over from the previous universe, this is a characteristic that any survivor of the former universe must have."

Hearing the explanation of the giant dragon, Leo looked at the giant dragon thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask. He knew very well that he would not be able to find anything useful if he continued to ask. Obviously, the brain in the tank in front of him The dragon giant created by illusion does not have knowledge related to the previous universe, otherwise it would not be unable to explain the meaning of the previous universe, but it has a judgment standard, which allows it to easily distinguish The soul of Leo came from a special existence in the previous universe.

All in all, the brain in the cylinder is more like a terminal device of a super artificial intelligence system, which can identify identities, release information, etc. As for the specific information, it should be in its main control super artificial intelligence system.

Seeing that Leo did not continue to ask questions, the dragon giant turned his head to Sylvia and said, "I need your help, and the Belmont family also needs your help, which is the main reason why I will appear in front of you .”

"What's going on with those prophecies?" Sylvia didn't follow the dragon giant's idea, but asked the dragon giant on her own: "You really predicted that we have been predicted hundreds of years ago. is coming?"

The dragon giant was silent for a while, and said truthfully: "No, even the gods couldn't have predicted what happened hundreds of years ago. I just noticed you a few months ago, inferred your arrival, and then Make that information into a prophecy."

Leo and Sylvia were a little surprised to see the dragon giant tell the truth so easily.

Sylvia then asked curiously, "What the hell are you?"

Perhaps Sylvia's question was too vague, without a clear direction, which made the dragon giant fall into a long test. After a while, he said: "I am Ambert Belmont now. .”

Although this answer is simple, it contains more meanings in Sylvia's ears. For example, since Ambert Belmont in front of him can be now, he can also not be in the future, or not in the past.

"You don't have to worry about my identity. The real Ambert Belmont died hundreds of years ago. I'm just a tool that Ambert Belmont asked his companions to make to help the family reproduce and develop. It’s just a special tool.” The dragon giant seemed to have sensed some of Sylvia’s thoughts, and immediately explained in more detail, saying: “Under normal circumstances, I will be in a dormant state, and only when the Belmont family encounters difficulties, will I Activate to advise the Belmont family."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Leo immediately asked a key question, "How many existences like you exist in this world? Who do they belong to?"

This question still seems to have the limitation of answering authority, which made the dragon giant fall into the long test again, and seemed to be communicating with an unknown existence. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "There are two more, one is in the depths of the New World , one is nearby."

After hearing this, Leo quickly asked again: "Not to mention the one in the depths of the New World, is the one nearby the Spirit of Knowledge?"

The dragon giant was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "Yes, but not completely, it is just a part of the spirit of knowledge." After answering here, he seemed not to want to continue answering, and instead said: "Now The Belmont family is in crisis, and I hope the two can help."

"Existential crisis?" Sylvia did not agree with the dragon giant's statement, and said: "The big deal is to give up here and move to other places. Although there will be no special environment here to help the bloodline stimulate or improve, at least it will not There will be a life-threatening crisis, let alone the survival of the group."

"It would be great if things were really as simple as you said." The giant dragon shook his head and said, "Four abyssal dragons were bred in the lava lake. There are still three abyssal dragons in full shape in the lava. Although the power of the castle has slowed down their growth, it has also made their blood take root in every member of the Belmont family through every sacrificial ceremony. Among the bloodlines of the people, once they wake up from their deep sleep through this ground vein activity, they will inevitably affect all members of the Belmont family through their bloodlines. Maybe some of them can resist the backlash of the bloodlines, but the vast majority of family members It will inevitably be controlled by the blood, and eventually become a dragon beast with only instinct and no wisdom. At that time, you should be able to guess how the Church of the True God in this world will react."

After hearing this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and exchanged views with their eyes, but did not speak.

The dragon giant continued: "This is not the worst, because even if this kind of thing happens, there is still a long buffer period, and even encountered the encirclement and suppression of the Church of the True God, some powerful members of the family can also escape. Out of encirclement and suppression, go to the New World to take refuge, at least so that the family will not be completely extinct. But the backlash of blood is only one of many crises. In the lava lake, there is an unknown existence from the abyss that has passed through some methods that I don’t know Integrating into the bodies of the abyssal dragons that are still gestating, he will escape from the control of the lava lake with the awakening of the abyssal dragons, and he will also control all the people of the Belmont family through the blood of family members. It is the biggest existential crisis the family has to face."

Sylvia asked in a deep voice: "How did the unknown existence of that abyss appear here? Did it exist before the castle was built, or..."

The dragon giant replied: "It existed before the castle was built, and it existed even before we came to this world. I even suspect that the teleportation exit appeared on the lava lake. My people fell into the lava lake and could not escape, too. The result of his manipulation."

Sylvia was puzzled: "Since he has existed for such a long time and is so powerful, how could he allow the Belmont family to build a castle in the lava lake and seal him and the still-breeding abyss dragon in the lake? where?"

The dragon giant explained: "Because when the castle was being built, he was injured by the gods of this world, and he was falling into a dormant state, drawing the vitality of the abyss dragon that was being bred to heal his wounds."

Sylvia had no objections, but Leo suddenly asked a key question, saying: "In your plan, our appearance should be just an accident. If we didn't show up, what method would you use?" To rescue the Belmont family?"

The dragon giant was silent for a while, and then said: "I will invite the Spirit of Knowledge to assist through a special agreement, but if I do that, even if the crisis of the Belmont family is resolved, I will not exist anymore, because according to the agreement, I will Will give up all authority, merge with the spirit of knowledge, and become a part of the spirit of knowledge."

After hearing the words of the giant dragon, Leo hesitated a little, because the situation described by the giant dragon was somewhat different from the brain in the vat he knew.

Through the inquiry just now, Leo already knew that there are two tank brains like Ambert Belmont in this world, and the Spirit of Knowledge is one of them, and these tank brains seem to be able to assimilate other tank brains. The brain can improve itself, this ability is obviously completely different from the super artificial intelligence improved by the brain in a vat that Leo knows.

You must know that the matter of the Earth Federation using the brain in a vat to create super artificial intelligence is also on the verge of the law of the Supreme Council of the Universe, and the Supreme Council of the Universe should also know about this matter, but in the end this matter did not give the Earth Federation The reason for the disaster is that the super artificial intelligence made by the brain in a vat does not have any possibility of evolution.

However, now what Leo learned from the dragon giant is a little different. Brain in vat can assimilate other midbrain to complete its own evolution. This made Leo doubt for a while whether his previous speculation about vat midbrain was wrong up.

But soon Leo thought of a detail mentioned in the dragon giant's answer about the brain in the vat just now. The existence similar to him is just a part of the spirit of knowledge.

When Leo was thinking about the brain in the vat, Sylvia seemed to be touched by the dragon giant's statement that the Belmont family was in crisis, so she changed the topic to the original direction and asked, "What do we want to do?" How can we help the Belmont family? Assist the Belmont family to move the castle, or kill those abyssal dragons that are still gestating?"

"They hope to move along with the castle, but that's impossible. The castle has been completely assimilated with the lava lake for so many years. If it's impossible to move, it can only be rebuilt elsewhere." The dragon giant shook his head, Said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have found a suitable relocation place for them, and I have a perfect reconstruction method, you don't need to take action, the reconstruction can be completed with the strength of the Belmont family alone .After they rebuilt the castle at the location I chose, although the effect on the bloodlines cannot be compared with that here, it is also of great help to the bloodlines."

Sylvia said: "Since we don't need to assist in the relocation, the only place we need to help is the abyss dragon and the unknown abyss. What do we need to do? Is it to kill them directly?"

"Of course not, doing that will only make things out of control." The dragon giant replied: "What you have to do is very simple, that is, take me to the bottom of the lake and place me in an abyss that has been conceived to a mature body." On the dragon, replace the original brain of the abyss dragon, and I will replace it at that time, and use the characteristics of a mature body to control other abyss dragons that are still being bred, and erase their main consciousness, so that they can no longer deal with it. The Belmont family had an impact."

"Where is the unknown existence of that abyss?" Sylvia asked again.

"He should appear when I occupy the body of the abyssal dragon. If it is difficult for me to contend with him with my strength alone, I will be swallowed by him. That's why I didn't let other members of the Belmont family do this." The dragon giant answered every question, and said: "But it will be different with your assistance. According to my estimation, with your assistance, I have at least a 90% success rate to dispel the unknown existence in the abyss." consciousness."

After listening to the words of the dragon giant, both Leo and Sylvia fell into contemplation. After a long time, Sylvia said: "This matter is a bit tricky. Dangerous, we need to discuss it before we can decide whether to help you and the Belmont family."

"I can understand this, but I hope you don't think about it for too long," the dragon giant nodded, and reminded: "It's best to make a decision before the start of this ceremony, because we can use this ceremony to gather all the Belmont family members." If we use human strength to fight against the complex situation in the lava, our success rate will be greater."

After hearing what the dragon giant said, Sylvia also nodded, expressing that she would make a decision before the ceremony.

At this moment, Leo asked abruptly: "What good is there for us to help the Belmont family through this crisis of survival?"

Sylvia frowned upon hearing this, as if it was very inappropriate for Leo to ask such a question at this time.

However, the dragon giant seemed to understand Leo's thoughts, and said, "You probably don't like ordinary things. The reward I can provide you is my knowledge," he said, looking at Lei Ou. Ou, said with emphasis: "Please believe me, my knowledge will definitely make you feel that it is worth the money."

Regarding the statement of the dragon giant, Leo was noncommittal, and there was no abnormal expression on his face.

Perhaps because they thought they had finished what they needed to say, the scene in front of the two of them instantly returned to the small room next to the living room, and the dragon and giant disappeared. , and judging from his expression, he didn't seem to notice that Leo and Sylvia were pulled into the illusion just now, and he was still introducing the situation, telling them not to be nervous no matter what happened later.
