The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"It seems that you know where it is." Seeing the expression of the dryad Lutaxi, Leo continued to ask: "Does the matter there involve your restricted knowledge?"

"No." Although the dryad Lutaxi was very reluctant to mention the matter of Lake Narnia, he still shook his head honestly and did not lie to Leo. Deer's sake.

"If possible, I hope to know about Lake Narnia." Leo also expressed his request very directly.

The dryad Lutaxi was silent for a moment, and then said surprisingly: "That place can swallow gods."

"Swallow the gods?" Leo was stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer.

The dryad Lutaxi thought that Leo didn't believe what he said, so he danced anxiously and said: "It's true, I saw it with my own eyes, and I saw at least seven gods swallowed by that lake."

"How did you swallow it?" Leo asked.

The dryad Lutaxi quickly replied: "It was swallowed up when it got close to that lake, and it didn't even make a move to resist."

Although the language used by the dryad Lutaxi to describe it was very simple, it was enough for Leo to associate it. After a moment of contemplation, he asked again, "Do you know which seven gods were swallowed?"

"I don't know four of them. I just feel that they are like gods from their power. I know the other three. One is called a green elf, which seems to be a god of shaman belief." Lutaxi the tree demon thought for a while, Answered truthfully.

"Green Elf?" Leo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the name, not because he was unfamiliar with the name, but because he was very familiar with the name, not only in this world, but even in the world of Velen. Heard the name too.

As the dryad Lutaxi said, this is indeed one of the objects of shamanism belief, but unlike the shamans of this world who believe in green elves as a god, the shamanism of Velen world only regards them as gods. Worshiping as the essence of life of all things is not so much the worship of gods, but more like a belief in teachers and sages.

Green elves are a kind of native gods that are naturally produced. As long as the world in which they live is complete and has countless natural lives, then green elves will naturally arise over a long period of time. Green elves in each world are different, but each The essence of the green elves in the world is also the same, so if it is a shaman spell researched by the shamanism of the Velen world based on the green elves, it should also be usable in other worlds with green elves.

After reading about the fact that there were shamans in this world who once believed in the god of green elves, Leo thought of trying to use the shaman spells of the green elves in the world of Velen. The result was very disappointing, and all the shaman spells could not be cast.

Later, he found out some things about the belief of the green elves, and learned that on a certain day hundreds of years ago, all the shamans who believed in the green elves lost their abilities. At that time, the shamans in this world had already guessed that the green elves Maybe something went wrong.

It's just that as a natural god, if it falls, it must be sensed by other true gods, and then issue various oracles to their respective churches, and then leave a lot of records, but these records can't be found at all.

At that time, the vast majority of shamans believed that the green elves might have been imprisoned by some evil gods, but they did not think that the green elves had fallen, because anyone who knew a little about the true god knew that the natural gods derived from the world were The ones that are the least prone to fall, sometimes seem to have fallen, but are actually cultivating in an unknown place, and will reappear after a while. So until now, for those shamans who believe in green elves, the situation of green elves is still a mystery.

But now the dryad Lutaxi has solved this mystery. The green elf is indeed dead, and he died so fast that even the world can't notice it. No wonder she is talking about Lake Narnia. Sometimes it will look like that. After all, seeing a god being swallowed up in an instant without a sound, even a prudent person will feel shocked and terrified.

Leo didn't lament for too long on the fall of the green elves, he quickly asked again: "Where are the two fallen gods? Who are they?"

At this moment, the dryad Lutaxi did not answer this question straightforwardly, with a troubled look on his face, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "The other two gods are not the gods of this world, but the gods of the shadows of the branches and leaves. I cannot tell their identities in this world."

After hearing this sentence, Leo frowned slightly, then fell into deep thought.

When mentioning the Primordial God, Leo had already thought that the shadows of the branches and leaves of the World Tree might also be a world, but the things in this world seemed to touch the knowledge taboo of the dryad Lutaxi, so he didn't ask much.

Now the dryad Lutaxi's answer about the two gods swallowed by Lake Narnia, although only one sentence, also provided a lot of useful information.

For example, there are gods in the world of shadows of branches and leaves, so his previous guess about the god of the beginning may be right. He thinks the god of the beginning is likely to be the same as the tree demon Lutaxi in front of him, who can exist in two worlds at the same time. This is why the core of the belief of the Primordial God has always been in the Middle Kingdom area, because he cannot leave the Middle Kingdom area, and his divine power cannot leave here.

In other parts of the Old Continent, although there are also beliefs in the God of the Beginning, most of those beliefs are very scattered, and they are all passed down by people in the Middle Kingdom. The earth spirit beliefs of the poor are not comparable, mainly because those who believe in the original god do not get any revelation, and a god who cannot respond to believers will inevitably be abandoned by believers.

In addition to the gods in the shadow world of branches and leaves, Leo also heard from the words of the dryad Lutaxi that the gods of the shadows of branches and leaves world are limited in this world, and not being able to name their gods is one of the restrictions.

However, these contents are not the cause of Leo's contemplation. What Leo is really surprised is that Lake Narnia, like the dryad Lutaxi and the god of the beginning, can exist in the shadow and the real world at the same time, otherwise, It is impossible to devour the gods of the shadow world.

Thinking of this, Leo asked confirmingly: "Does the world with the shadows of the branches and leaves of the world tree also have a Narnia Lake?"

Faced with this question, the dryad Lutaxi kept his mouth shut and didn't answer anything, but even so, Leo already knew the information he wanted to know, which made him look forward to the Narnia time even more. trip to the lake.

Leo didn't inquire more about the world of shadows of branches and leaves. He knew that if he continued to inquire, it would be impossible to get more actual information, so he transferred to Lake Narnia itself and asked: " Can't you come near Lake Narnia?"

"Closer!" The tree demon Lutaxi stared at Leo with a shocked face, and shouted, "Even the gods can be swallowed, and I'm still getting close, am I crazy?"

Leo reminded: "But I remember that some miners in Lake Narnia often went into the lake to mine the crystals at the bottom of the lake and sell them as gems."

"I know that," the dryad Lutaxi nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "But I don't know why they entered that lake. It's okay, and I don't want to try to see if I can do it?"

"I want to go to Lake Narnia." Leo stated the purpose of his trip, and said: "However, to go to Lake Narnia, you need to pass through the Green Emerald area, which is now under martial law. This level of martial law will not necessarily bring me any obstacles, but it may cause me some troubles. I don't want to be troubled, so I need a guide who knows the area well to take me a shortcut without trouble. You should be the most suitable."

Hearing Leo's words, the dryad Lutaxi's face became very ugly. Obviously, Lake Narnia had too much negative impact on her, so she didn't want to get close at all. According to her idea, when Leo opened his mouth to let her The moment she leads the way, she should turn her head and leave, but the problem is that the mission Bailu gave her is to follow Leo, which makes it impossible for her to escape, even if she doesn't lead the way, Leo will eventually If you go to Lake Narnia, you can't get rid of her who is beside you.

After realizing that as long as Leo didn't give up the idea of ​​going to Lake Narnia, he could only go with him, the dryad Lutaxi also seemed to give up resistance, bowed his head, nodded slightly, and said, "I know Yes, I will take you a shortcut."

"In this case, let's start now!" Leo looked up at the increasingly bright sky, then turned his head to look at his horse, then looked at the back of the tree demon Lutaxi's horse, and said: " Which one is faster, you or my horse?"

"Of course... what do you want?" The dryad Lutaxi just wanted to answer, but soon thought of something, gave Leo a hard look, and said: "Delusion! Our dryad will never be People ride on their backs!"

After finishing speaking, he took small steps and ran for a certain distance, guarding Leo from a distance like a thief.

Seeing this, Leo didn't force it. In fact, he knew very well in the Black Forest that it was impossible to ride on the back of the dryad. The reason why he asked this question was because he wanted to see Lutaxi, a non-deer park. Whether the born dryads have the same habits and taboos as ordinary dryads, now it seems that not being able to be ridden on the back should be an instinctive habit.

On the back of the horse, Leo signaled to the dryad Lutaxi to lead the way. I don't know if the tree demon Lutaxi walked normally, or deliberately caused trouble for Leo. In short, she was leading the way like a Jumping forward like a deer in the forest, and between the landing points of each jump, her figure will enter the shadow world of branches and leaves, even Leo's real eyes can hardly catch her figure in a short time , which made Leo have to concentrate on staring at the dryad Lutaxi, otherwise he would lose the guide.

Although the tree demon Lutaxi's way of leading the way brought some troubles to Leo, Leo didn't feel dissatisfied or annoyed by it. On the contrary, he enjoyed it, because he was not doing nothing wrong behind him. Do, while following, he is also capturing and observing every time the dryad Lutaxi enters the shadow of the branches and leaves through the spiritual net, so as to find out the way to enter the shadows of the branches and leaves.

In fact, in the past, Leo briefly entered the shadow world of Velen by imitating the witch power of the shadow witch Su. Although he only passed through the edge of the shadow world, he still entered it. It should be the shadow of the branches and leaves of the fruit of the World Tree, Velen World, but obviously that shadow is more stable than the shadows of the branches and leaves of the current world, so a transcendent like Su whose strength has not even reached the level of a high-level psyker Able to safely walk through shadows and realities with their natural abilities.

It's just that the laws of each world are different. Su's witch power will lose its effect in this world, but even if it loses its effect, it can still provide very important references, such as how to open a crack leading to the world of shadows , and if these references correspond to the various data captured by Leo from the dryad Lutaxi, he believes that he will be able to enter the shadow of the branches and leaves just like the dryad Lutaxi in a short time. It's hard to say whether you can keep yourself between the shadows and the real world.

As the dryad Lutaxi said, she does have a very safe shortcut. Under her guidance, they didn't meet a single person along the way, not even a carnivorous carnivore wandering in this battlefield wasteland. They didn't see any animals, except for the grass and mounds, they couldn't see anything else, which almost made Leo think that he was taken to another wilderness without any living things by the tree demon Lutaxi.

It wasn't until the forest formed by the unique trees in the Green Emerald area appeared on the horizon at the end of the field of vision like a neat column of guards, that Leo was sure that the dryad Lutaxi had not taken the wrong path. They had already passed through the emerald area. The outermost layer of defense came to the outside of the Green Emerald Forest inside the Green Emerald Area.

Leo and the dryad Lutaxi did not stop and continued on their way, perhaps because they felt that it was meaningless to continue like this because they did not get rid of Leo before. There will be problems with the way, so after entering the forest, the tree demon Lutaxi changed his way of running to normal running, and did not go into the shadow world indiscriminately.

In this regard, Leo was a little disappointed, but the data collected before was enough for his reference research, and continuing to collect the same data was just an accumulation of more layers, which was of no qualitative effect.

After entering the forest, the natural power of the dryad itself began to take effect, the biggest display of which is that as she moves forward, the trees, shrubs and everything in front of her will naturally move to both sides Open, as if that piece of space was distorted, it didn't return to normal until she and Leo passed through.

Secondly, a large number of birds and butterflies that inhabit the forest will naturally fly over and fly around the dryad Lutaxi, as if to please her.

After seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help being stunned, and then followed closely behind the tree demon, while re-examining the surrounding forest, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Black forest?"
