The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1626 The Knowledge of Dryads

"This is not a place to talk, let's change to another place!" Leo looked at the stumps around him, frowned, and said to the tree demon.

Hearing the words, the tree demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Afterwards, Leo simply packed up his luggage, mounted his horse, and ran for a distance in the northeast direction. He slowed down after he couldn't smell the smell of blood, and stopped on a slightly open hill.

When Leo was running on horseback, the figure of the dryad was completely invisible, even Leo's real eyes couldn't see where she was, but when Leo stopped, she suddenly appeared in the distance Not far away from Leo, he looked curiously at the wedding ring on Leo's hand that was blessed by the white deer.

"What are you?" The dryad was still wary of Leo, but her curiosity about the wedding ring had suppressed her strong vigilance. While asking, she couldn't help getting closer to Leo. far away.

Perhaps in the eyes of the tree demon, these few steps are enough for her to escape in time when she encounters an emergency, but in Leo's eyes, these few steps are enough for him to capture it easily.

However, Leo didn't try to catch the dryad. Instead, he took off the wedding ring blessed by the white deer, put it in his palm, and handed it to the dryad.

The dryad looked at Leo, then at the wedding ring in Leo's hand, hesitated for a moment, but finally curiosity prevailed, and took a few steps closer to Leo, then bent down, and reached out curiously towards the wedding ring. Touch past.

The moment the dryad's hand touched the wedding ring, a holy white light emanated from the wedding ring, and then transformed into a petite white deer. The white deer looked around in confusion, When he saw Leo, he was stunned, and then he saw the tree demon again, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the white deer floating in the air, pacing around the tree demon twice. After the white deer appeared, the tree demon seemed to be frozen, not daring to move, looking at the white deer Her eyes were also full of awe and admiration, but there was also a hint of confusion mixed in. Obviously, she didn't understand why this mini deer that appeared from the ring caused her to have such strong emotions, and even this emotion affected her. Body.

Just when the white deer circled around the tree demon twice and returned to the ring, the white deer's antlers suddenly projected a ray of light, which landed on the tree demon's forehead, and then saw the tree demon appearing on the tree demon's forehead. A complex mark was formed, and the dryad's antlers also turned silvery white, emitting a faint white light like a white deer.

After all that happened last night, the white deer's figure immediately turned into countless light spots and returned to the wedding ring in Leo's hand, and everything around him returned to normal.

After the ring returned to normal, Leo felt that the aura of the white deer contained in the ring became much weaker. Obviously, the appearance of the avatar of the white deer just now required a price.

Then, he looked at the tree demon in front of him again, and saw the mark on the tree demon's forehead flickering slightly, without any signs of dissipating, and the tree demon's eyes turned completely silvery white, just like the antlers on her head , with a dull expression on his face, as if he had entered a deep consciousness.

Leo didn't bother to interrupt the dryad's abnormal state at the moment, he put the ring back on his hand, and then sat on the mound beside him, waiting for the dryad to return to normal.

About an hour later, a ray of dawn appeared on the far horizon, and the sky gradually brightened. At this time, the dryad, who had been silent for a while, suddenly shook her head, and the mark on her forehead disappeared. Then her body He paced back and forth like he was drunk, stopped after a while, and looked at Leo in surprise.

"My lord, let me follow you." The tree demon said bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Leo could hear that the tree demon's words were not asking for his opinion, but telling him the result, so he didn't intend to ask why, since it was arranged by the white deer, it naturally had its intentions, so he turned to ask another Question, said: "What happened just now?"

"That's my lord awakening the memory of my bloodline." The dryad seemed to have no vigilance towards Leo. Facing Leo's question, she replied truthfully: "Under normal circumstances, every dryad will They will all accept the baptism of the bloodline to awaken the memory of the bloodline, otherwise, the tree demon can only remain in a state of animality forever. I just accepted this kind of baptism, and it was the incarnation of my lord who gave the gift in person. .”

"That is to say, before this, you were all animal-like?" Leo asked suspiciously. The reason why he had such a question was because he had seen a tree demon in a bestial state in the Black Forest, which was not the same as a beast. There are too many differences, and the tree demon before is obviously very different from the beastly tree demon in his memory.

"Of course not, did I behave like those vulgar beasts just now?" The dryad questioned Leo as if he had been insulted, and then immediately explained: "My situation is very special. I am an apocalypse. And I am the only Apocalypse who was born outside the Deer Park, I got rid of the beast nature and possessed wisdom from the moment I was born, if it wasn’t for this, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live in this world until now.”

Leo savored the other party's words carefully, and said: "It seems that after the white deer awakened your blood memory just now, you have gained a lot of knowledge."

"Yes, I have acquired a lot of knowledge and wisdom. I know you must have many questions you want to ask me, and I will not refuse to answer them. After all, you are the companion appointed by my Lord. At least Before leaving this world." The dryad admitted Leo's guess, and also expressed his willingness to share the knowledge in her mind with Leo, but changed the subject, and put forward restrictions: "It's just that there are some knowledge that you can't know , It’s not something I can say, so if I encounter a question that I can’t answer, I won’t answer it.”

Leo nodded to express his understanding, and asked casually, "What's your name?"

The dryad was stunned, she was ready to answer all kinds of advanced questions raised by Leo, but she never thought that the first question Leo asked was her name, but she quickly recovered and said: "When every Dryad is born, her name will automatically appear on the stone tablet of the Holy Land. It is the name bestowed by the Lord, and it also contains the blessing of the Holy Land. However, I was not born in Deer Park, so there is no such thing. So far, I have no name." As she spoke, her ears trembled, as if she remembered something, she said, "Didn't you say that the people here call me Ruta Xi? If so, then I will be called Ruta Xi. Seat!"

Leo was noncommittal to the tree demon's random choice of his name, and he didn't continue the topic, instead asking, "Why weren't you born in Deer Park? How did you come to this world?"

"I also want to know this question. I have been in this world since I can remember. As for the things before the memory, I don't know." The tree demon Lutaxi also shook his head blankly, and said: "But It's not without precedent for a situation like mine. There was a precedent of a dryad giving birth to cubs in other worlds and shedding them in that world. Because they were not born in Deer Park, they were not blessed by the Holy Land and could not When I returned to Deer Park, I could only wander in that world in the form of a beast until I died. My luck was better. I was born as an Apocalypse. Not only did I have wisdom, but I was also born with the protection of the Holy Land, which enabled me to live until now. "

"What is the protection of the Holy Land?" Leo asked curiously again: "Is it your invisibility ability?"

Dryad Lutaxi shook his head and said, "Invisibility? No, you're mistaken. I'm not invisible now. I'm just walking in the shadow of the branches and leaves of the world tree. Our ability to safely navigate different worlds."

As she spoke, she seemed to think that Leo couldn't understand, so she explained the meaning of the world tree, the world, and the shadows of the branches and leaves of the world tree.

As Leo knows, every world is a fruit that grows on the branches of the world tree. Since there are fruits, there are naturally branches and leaves. The branches and leaves of the world tree around the world will form shadows covering the surface of the world, forming a world. Overlapping space, and this overlapping space is called the shadow of branches and leaves by the dryad. Only creatures with special talents can enter the shadow of branches and leaves.

The Middle Kingdom region is such an area covered by foliage shadows, and according to the account of the dryad Lutaxi, this foliage shadow is very stable, unlike the foliage shadows that cover other parts of the world, it will continue to change over time. The shadows of the branches and leaves in this area will always stay in this place, as if fixed by some kind of force, which is why the dryads are willing to operate in this area.

When the dryad Lutaxi narrated this part of the secrets of the world, she seemed very casual. Obviously, this piece of knowledge was beyond her limit, but Leo, who was an observer, heard other meanings and had some associations.

As soon as the voice of the tree demon Lutaxi fell, Leo couldn't wait to ask: "In the shadow of the branches and leaves, besides you, is there anything else alive?"

"Of course." The dryad Lutaxi gave an affirmative answer, and said proudly at the same time: "However, only I can appear in two worlds at the same time."

"You are now invisible, can anyone else see it?" Leo asked again.

"You are the only exception I have encountered over the years." The tree demon Lutaxi shook his head and said, "As long as I don't want to, even if I stand beside the incarnations of gods in this world, they won't be able to see you." Me, but they might feel my presence."

After hearing this, Leo suddenly asked a somewhat abrupt question, "Do you know the God of Beginning?"

After hearing this, the dryad Lutaxi suddenly fell silent, and did not answer immediately like before.

"Is this question taboo?" Leo asked keenly, noticing the change in the expression of the tree demon Lutaxi.

"Yes." This time the tree demon Lutaxi quickly responded, and with an emphasis on his tone, he added: "Any knowledge involving the primordial god is taboo."

Hearing this, Leo immediately understood that the Primordial God might not be as simple as he thought before. He was just the first Primordial God that evolved by itself in this world. He might have something to do with the World Tree, otherwise he had just been blessed by the White Deer The dryad Lutaxi who had activated the memory of the blood would not be so nervous.

After confirming this point, Leo did not continue to ask, but asked another seemingly irrelevant question, saying: "Since you have lived in this land for so long, you should know everything here Is it a lot?"

"It depends on what you are asking." Lutaxi the dryad hesitated, and said, "I seldom appear in cities and other places where humans gather, and most of them appear on the battlefield, so if you ask those I don't have I can't answer you about what I've seen and experienced."

"No, you must know this. He is also famous on the battlefield in the Middle Kingdom." Leo stepped into the topic and asked, "Barbarisa, the protector who was canonized by the living people of the Church of True God, you should..."

Before Leo could finish speaking, the dryad Lutaxi immediately raised her hand to stop Leo from continuing, and closed her mouth with a serious expression, it seemed that she still would not answer this question.

Although the dryad Lutaxi did not answer Leo's question, for Leo, he had already got the answer he wanted.

Just like what Rutaxi the dryad said just now, all knowledge about the primordial god is taboo, and when Barbarisa is mentioned, the reaction of the dryad Rutaxi is exactly the same as when the primordial god is mentioned , without other more information and evidence, he can basically conclude that Barbarisa must have a relationship with the God of Primordial, and the dryad Lutaxi should know what this relationship is, but he doesn't know what she knows Is it related to the knowledge in her blood memory, or is it related to her experience in this world.

But for Leo, those are not important anymore, because he has at least clarified a message, as for Barbarisa will be canonized by the living people of the Church of True God and receive such super-standard treatment, is it because he and the original The relationship between God and God requires further investigation.

If it is said that Leo's acceptance of Barbarisa's entrustment was just a transaction before, and he regarded the investigation related matters as a game to pass the extra time, then now Leo has begun to change. Organizations and the Church of True God, etc. are becoming more and more interested in various plans in the Middle Kingdom.

After harvesting a lot of useful information, Leo then tried to ask: "Do you know the forest in the Green Emerald area?"

Seeing that Leo changed the question, the dryad Lutaxi returned to normal, and quickly replied: "Of course I understand, that's my home."

Leo asked again: "Do you know the situation of Lake Narnia? For example, the spar in Lake Narnia."

After listening to Leo's question, the dryad Lutaxi showed a fearful expression for the first time. She paced restlessly, and at the same time said with a trembling tone, "Why did you ask which place?"
