The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The countess leaned on the stone pillar of the pavilion, watching her daughter nervously. She hadn't been so nervous about a matter for a long time, although Leo had told him that this first treatment was just a test, a test. Whether his method is effective or not will not cause any harm to Devina's body, but she is still very nervous.

The moment Leo touched her daughter with her hands, bursts of heat radiated from her body. This heat made her feel like she was staying by the stove. If it was winter, she might feel very comfortable. But this is a hot summer, under the baking heat, she felt suffocated, and her mind was dizzy, as if she would faint at any time, so she had to lean on the pillars to prevent herself from falling down. on the ground.

Just when the countess felt that her ability to withstand the heat had reached its limit, she suddenly felt an inexplicable cold air appearing around her body out of thin air, which blocked the heat emitted from Devina's body. Being outside, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief both physically and mentally.

Although she couldn't see the source of the cold air, she could vaguely guess that it was her daughter's invisible friend who made the shot, so she looked in a random direction and thanked her.

As the countess guessed, the person who blocked her from the heat in time was indeed the tree demon Rutaxi. She didn't wait until the countess had reached the limit of her tolerance before taking action, but her attention had been drawn from the very beginning. Leo and Devina, who were being treated, were attracted to them. They didn't come back to their senses until just now, and found out that something was wrong with the countess, and came to rescue them.

In the past ten years, the dryad Lutaxi has tried to heal Devina more than once, but the results all ended in failure, but she thinks that she has a thorough understanding of the unknown power in Devena's body. , so when Leo said his treatment plan, she already had several corresponding treatment methods.

However, when Leo healed and guided the unknown power in Devina, the dryad Lutaxi found that her understanding of the power in Devina was not as thorough as she thought, on the contrary, she The power in Devina's body was seriously underestimated.

As an ordinary person, the countess can only feel the heat generated when the power in Devina's body is running, but the dryad Lutaxi can clearly see the terrifying power generated after the power in Devina's body is stimulated. It even caused her to have some hallucinations. In the hallucinations, she saw destruction, which was the destruction of all life.

"Daughter of Destruction!" When she escaped from the illusion, a word appeared in her mind, and at the same time she couldn't help wondering if this was a prophecy, although she thought in her heart that the kind Devina could not be like that However, her rational judgment felt the extreme danger of the power in Devina's body.

Compared with Lutaxi, the dryad who really realized the terrifying power in Devena's body for the first time, Leo has perfectly imitated Devena's witch power through the power of nightmare, so the final display of the power in his body With a clear understanding of power, he naturally wouldn't be too surprised.

He is now creating a method to activate and control the power of the witch based on his understanding of Devina's witch power, and then by directly controlling Devina's witch power, he can let Devina quickly by precept and example. familiar with this control method.

Devina is smarter than Leo expected. After Leo repeatedly demonstrated the control method two or three times, Devina has already started to use it. Afterwards, Leo just monitored the status of the witch power in her body. , To prevent any mistakes, you can rescue them in time.

However, Dewena didn't seem to give him a chance to rescue him at all. After going through some errors caused by unskilled manipulation at the beginning, she became more and more proficient later on, and she was not much worse than Leo.

As Leo guessed, as Devina began to control the power of the witch in her body, some changes in her body due to the backlash of the power of the witch began to change, for example, some parts of her bones appeared crystallized phenomenon, and now that Devina controls the power of the witch to wash away those crystallized parts over and over again, those crystallized parts also begin to slowly transform back to the normal bone state. Although this transformation process is very slow, it can It is estimated that it will not take long for these mutated parts to completely complete the transformation.

However, unlike the not-so-serious backlash mutation in Devena's body, Devina's legs and eyes have fully shown gemstones, and it hasn't improved because Devina began to control the power in her body. Leave it as it is.

However, although the overall crystallization has not changed in any way, some small details have changed. For example, Devina's legs were completely rigid before, just like artificial legs, but now when Devina drives her body When the power of the witch flowed through her legs, she could clearly feel the numbness of her legs, accompanied by a burst of subtle needle pricks. Although this feeling made her a little uncomfortable, it was her legs. For the first time in so many years, her legs felt feeling, which was undoubtedly a sign of improvement and made her feel even more joyful.

What made her even more joyful was her eyeballs. Although she still couldn't see anything, when her witch power was injected into the eyeballs, he seemed to be able to control the eyeballs to rotate in the eye sockets, and she could also see Seeing a very faint light made her so excited that she almost lost control of her witch power.

You must know that in the past so many years, all she saw was darkness, but now she can see a glimmer of light, which made her realize that her eyes may be cured, and she can be like a normal person again See everything in this world the same way.

"Okay!" When Devena controlled her witch power to wash her body for the tenth round, Leo released her hand from Devina's head and said, "The number of times in the first test is not enough. It takes too much, too much is not good for your own body, you must know that you need to consume body energy to control the power of the witch, and the consumption will be very large."

Almost when Leo's hand moved away from Devina's head, Devina's control over the power of the witch in her body was instantly weakened several layers, and now she could barely control the power of the witch in the body, and It is impossible to easily control the power of the witch to move anywhere in the body like just now.

"What's going on? My control seems to have weakened a lot?" Devina immediately asked Leo after feeling the abnormality.

"Don't worry, it's normal." Leo reassured: "Although I didn't directly participate in controlling your witch power just now, I also played a certain auxiliary role in your spirit. It will feel less control, and actually now is your real control over the witch power within yourself."

After explaining a bit, Leo signaled Devina to stop controlling the power in her body. Devina stopped immediately upon hearing this, and at the moment she stopped, she felt extreme exhaustion spread from the inside to the outside, spreading to every part of her body. One part made her feel like she would faint at any moment.

The countess also saw that Devena's face had become extremely pale at this moment, and she looked extremely tired, and her body was lying limp on the bed. She thought something had happened, so she hurried forward to support Devena, and at the same time Leo asked: "Mr. Leo, what's going on with her now? Did she fail?"

"Of course it didn't fail, on the contrary, it succeeded. Although the effect was a little worse than I expected, this time the test is still complete." Leo took out a bottle of wizard potion while calming the countess, and handed it to the count Madam, said: "Give her this to drink, and he should be fine."

Hearing Leo's words, the Countess immediately took the wizard potion and gave it to Devina to drink. The moment she drank the wizard potion, the effect of the potion came into play immediately, and the exhaustion that Devina felt receded like a tide , and Devina's mind has also become extremely clear, even clearer than before starting the treatment.

"What kind of potion is this? The effect is really good." Devina, who felt the effect of the wizard's potion, couldn't help asking Leo.

Leo did not answer Devina's inquiry, but put his hand on Devina's body again, signaling her not to resist, and then checked her physical condition at the moment through some healing witchcraft, magic and spiritual power.

"The control method used in the first test is not bad, and the effect is not bad." After checking a few times, Leo withdrew his hands, then said briefly, and said with a little regret: "But the effect of this I'm not satisfied yet, if your current state is good, we will start the second test."

Devina replied immediately: "I am in good condition now, you can start."

After listening to Devina's words, Leo signaled the countess to leave, and then carried out the second test according to the control method he had imagined.

In this way, Leo repeatedly used seven different control methods to control and test the power of the witch in Devena's body. Cracks appeared in the crystallized mutated organs in Wenna's body, and it was difficult for Devena to use this control method without Leo's help. As for the control method with the weakest effect, its effect is basically equivalent to No, it's just that Devina was able to use this control method very skillfully to control a small part of the witch's power in her body after Leo completely let go.

Although it was only seven simple control method tests, and the treatment itself hadn't been involved yet, more than half a day had passed, and the sky had already completely darkened when they were conducting the fourth test.

The countess asked the common people in the villa to place all available oil lamps and candles around the pavilion, but this approach made them seem to be performing some mysterious religious ceremony. Fortunately, the countess had no control over the subordinates. The force was so strong that the servants and knights who saw the pavilion kept their mouths tightly shut and did not reveal a word.

Although, after each test, Leo would give Devena a wizard potion, but the wizard potion cannot completely replace food and rest. The seven tests have reached the limit of Devina's physical and mental consumption, so Leo did not continue. The next step is formal treatment, but to let Devina rest for one night, and then start tomorrow morning.

While Leo was resting in Devina, he also began to sort out the various feedback data he had obtained in the seven tests, which could help him understand and master the power of the witch in Devena's body more deeply.

Although Leo has also studied the power of a witch in the past, even Sylvia will not completely let go of her witch power to Leo, because self-protection is the most basic instinct of any person. It has nothing to do with whether you trust Leo or not, so it has never happened in the past that Devina completely opened up her witch power like Leo. further understanding.

For example, before Leo always believed that the power of the witch came from the bloodline, and the inheritance also depended on the bloodline, but now Leo feels that part of the power of the witch may come from the bloodline, but its core power seems to be related to the spiritual will of the witch, but the specific Leo still hasn't been able to figure out how the spiritual will generate the power of the witch.

"It's best not to do that." Leo saw that the dryad Lutaxi was walking next to Devina's body, trying to use her natural power to help Devina recover from physical and mental fatigue, so he immediately stopped her.

The dryad Lutaxi turned his head and looked at Leo in puzzlement.

"It will be better to let her recover naturally." Leo didn't explain too much, but simply explained.

At this time, a rush of horseshoes sounded from outside the wooden fence, and the sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and soon came to the outside of the fence, and had a few words with the emerald knight guarding outside the fence.

Immediately afterwards, I saw an emerald knight walking in from the opening of the wall, but he did not approach the pavilion, but stood near the opening.

Seeing this situation, the Countess realized that something important must have happened, otherwise the Emerald Knight would not have disturbed them without authorization, so she stood up and walked over to ask what happened.

Although their conversation was very quiet, Leo could still clearly hear what they were saying, and what they said happened to be related to the Red Earth City where Leo had stayed before, and it could be regarded as a follow-up to the situation in the Red Earth City.

I don't know how the departed archbishop of the Justice Church persuaded the dignitaries of Rollo Hill and West Green Emerald. In short, these two sworn enemies who were absolutely impossible to unite in the eyes of others were actually united under the help of the Justice Church. , are now attacking Hongtu City together, and the commander of the West Green Jade Army is naturally the Earl of West Green Jade.

As the political controller of the West Green Emerald region, the countess seems to be extremely dissatisfied with this alliance. During this short conversation, Leo has heard the countess refer to her husband as a fool more than once, but she is dissatisfied with returning home. Dissatisfied, she didn't intend to confront her husband. Judging from the last order, she seemed to be ready to support this military operation that she was extremely pessimistic about. At the same time, she seemed to be ready to redeem her husband from Hongtu City. Prepare.
