The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Master, this is the forward information sent by Viscount Riber." The castle supervisor tidied up his messy clothes at the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from the door, pushed the door in and walked quickly. Beside Babarisa, he lowered his body and whispered while taking out a sealed letter.

Barbarisa quickly adjusted his emotions, took a look at the letter, thought for a while, and said, "Return to the message and tell Viscount Riber to follow the original plan."

"Yes, master." The castle supervisor bowed and retreated after hearing the order.

After the castle supervisor left, Barbarisa turned to the servants who took care of his wife and children and said, "Go down and rest too! I'll take care of you here."

Hearing Barbarisa's order, the servants were a little taken aback, but no one raised any objections, and one by one they left the room and closed the bedroom door.

When only Barbarisa was left in the room, he stood up, walked to the head of the bed, opened a secret locker in the plywood wall at the head of the bed, took out a box made of obsidian from it, and carefully put it on the table.

Barbarisa didn't open the box right away, with a hesitant look on his face, but after he turned his head and saw the sleeping wife and children on the bed, he seemed to have made up his mind and reached out to open the obsidian box.

I saw that there was a simple wooden statue stored in this box. This statue was a human being wearing a long robe. It looked very ordinary, like a poor farmer picked up a random piece of wood and carved a piece of wood for his child. It looks like a small toy, and because of the age of the wooden statue and poor preservation, the overall condition of the statue is very poor, with many cracks, and the face of the statue is even more blurred.

However, when Barbarysa opened the obsidian box from such an ordinary-looking statue, it exuded a strong energy breath, which directly caused the temperature in the room to drop a lot, even Barbary The breath Sa breathed out also turned into white mist.

Barbarisa was not flustered by the appearance of this energy aura. He tightened his clothes to allow himself to adapt to the lower temperature around him, and then reached out to take out the statue in the box, but he was about to touch it. When he reached the statue, he stopped again, with a hesitant look on his face again, as if he already knew that something bad would happen if he touched the statue.

However, as his wife fell asleep on the bed and groaned unconsciously because of her illness, his original hesitation was suppressed again, and his feelings for his wife and children made him put aside his worries, and stretched out his hand to grab her again. the statue.

"Praying to the abyss is not a good thing. I'm afraid you will never pay back the interest those guys in the abyss ask for." Just as Barbarisa was about to catch the statue, Leo's voice suddenly appeared in the room, followed by I saw him coming out of the shadow of the closet beside him, and came to Barbarisa's side.

"Mr. Leo, you have finally appeared." Barbarisa immediately expressed great joy when he saw Leo, and the worry on his brows also dissipated a lot. When he got to the bedside, he said excitedly, "Mr. Leo, please help me see the illness of my wife and children. I will agree to whatever you want, as long as my wife and children get better."

"Calm down, Barbarisa, you are the Lord Protector of the Middle Kingdom." Leo calmed down Barbarisa's emotions with a teasing tone, and then stepped forward to check the three patients seriously, and then took out the Three bottles of healing potions were handed to Barbarisa, and said, "Give them a drink, and they will be able to recover tomorrow."

Hearing Leo's words, the excitement in Barbarisa's heart was beyond words, but he still tried his best to calm himself down, carefully took three bottles of healing potions, and gave them to his wife and children one by one, without any doubt about Leo's words true or false.

As the healing potion began to take effect, Barbarisa saw that his wife and children's flushed faces gradually returned to normal due to fever, and their painful expressions gradually eased, and they really entered a normal sleep state.

Barbarisa removed the towel from the foreheads of his wife and children, tested the temperature on the foreheads, and confirmed that the fever was indeed gone, and immediately showed a look of joy on his face, and naturally let out a sigh of relief, perhaps because of emotions. For the sake of relaxation, the physical and mental exhaustion of the past few days also took the opportunity to surge up, which immediately made him feel sore and listless, as if he had been fighting non-stop for more than ten days, and he might fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

However, Barbarisa knew very well that it was not time to rest, so he took a few deep breaths, suppressed the discomfort, pulled himself together, walked to Leo's side, and was about to say something.

"Drink this bottle of potion, you will feel better." Before Barbarisa could speak, Leo handed over another bottle of potion and said.

Babarisa didn't hesitate at all, and drank it all in one gulp after taking the potion. He only felt an unprecedented refreshing breath poured from his mouth directly into his stomach, and then spread to his whole body. Qi not only dissipated all the soreness and exhaustion in his body, but also made his mind extremely clear. Several problems he encountered in the previous meeting now have solutions in an instant.

While Barbarisa was still immersed in the effect of the potion, Leo pointed to the statue inside the obsidian box and asked, "How did you get this statue?"

Barbarisa also looked at the statue in the box, and said: "On the day I was assassinated, someone sent it to me. The person who sent it told me that this thing can fulfill all my wishes, but the greater the wish, the more expensive it is. bigger."

"Do you believe that all wishes come true?" Leo asked disapprovingly.

"Letter." Barbarisa probably nodded and said, "Because the person who sent it to me is the person I trust the most."

"The most trusted person?" Leo smiled and asked, "Then tell me, who is that person?"

"He is..." Barbarisa was about to tell Leo who the person who gave him the statue was, but his words stopped abruptly, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. After a while, he said in confusion: "I clearly remember that there is a person I absolutely trust, and I also have this person in my mind, but I just don't know how to say it, tell you who this person is?" He paused for a while, and said with a gloomy face : "What's going on here? Am I being tricked?"

Leo didn't answer Barbarisa's question, he stared at the statue in front of him for a while, then picked it up from the obsidian box, and the statue didn't show any abnormal reaction, as if the statue itself had wisdom and knew what to mess with , nothing to mess with.

"What is this?" Barbarisa couldn't help asking again.

This time Leo gave an explanation, saying: "This is a statue carved from the bones of a certain abyss superior. It can be used as a descending device for the abyss superior. For those cultists who worship the abyss, this thing It can be regarded as a priceless holy object."

Although Barbarisa didn't fully understand Leo's words, he could guess that the things in Leo's hands must be very unusual, and putting them in his hands would definitely be a disaster, so he tentatively asked: "Mr. Leo , can you take this thing away?"

Leo put the statue back into the obsidian box, closed the lid, then looked at Barbarisa, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay to take it away, but even if I take it away, some problems still haven't been solved."

"Any more questions?" Barbarisa hesitated for a moment, then asked with a serious expression.

"For example, why is this thing given to you to use? What is their purpose? If you don't figure out these things, then you will definitely encounter similar plots. You will not be so lucky next time. I can Appeared in front of you." Leo said while looking up and down Barbarisa, then as if he had discovered something interesting, he motioned for Barbarisa not to move, then reached out and scratched Barbarisa's neck After a moment, a drop of blood seeped from Barbarisa's neck and landed on Leo's finger.

Leo put the blood on his finger in front of his eyes, and after checking it repeatedly with his spiritual vision and spiritual network, he looked at Barbarisa in surprise, and asked, "What happened to you recently? Why did you His bloodline began to return to his ancestors?"

"Returning to the ancestors?" Barbarisa looked at Leo blankly, not understanding what Leo said, but he knew that what Leo asked must be closely related to his own situation, so he truthfully reported what happened recently. I said it carefully.

It turns out that before the assassination, some things happened around Barbarisa. First of all, some strange phenomena would appear inexplicably in the castle. Things will shift inexplicably, and even levitate directly in front of people.

In addition to the castle, some incredible things also happened to Barbarisa. For example, Barbarisa found that his energy had become extremely vigorous, and he would not feel tired or sleepy for days without sleep. There are often some hallucinations, and the strange thing is that he is very sure that there is an hallucination in front of him, but he can't remember the content of the hallucination at all. The only thing he remembers is a voice that looks like a name.

In order to prove his words, Barbarisa also imitated saying this word, because the voice used in this word was very weird. He said it a dozen times in a row before he got it right, but it was still quite similar to the voice in the hallucination. difference.

However, what Barbarisa didn't know was that Leo had already understood the meaning of the voice that Barbarisa said, not because he understood the language represented by this voice, but because this voice induced the representatives in the Throne Square to The stone pillar of the dryad's natural force produced a very weak resonance effect. Obviously, the correct pronunciation of this sound would definitely touch the natural force.

However, Leo's focus at this moment is not on what happened to Barbarisa and the only voice he remembers, but on the time that first caused various things to happen around Barbarisa, because that time seems to be It happened to be the time when Leo collected the meteorite fragment at the bottom of Lake Narnia in the Shadow Realm, and it was also the time when the shadow sun appeared in the Shadow Realm under the influence of Leo.

Although it is only a synchronization in time, and there is no other evidence to prove that the two are still connected, Leo feels that there must be a mystery that he has not discovered yet.

For this reason, Leo signaled Babarisa not to move, then checked his body more carefully, and also used the scanning ability in the general-purpose recorder, and the result was not only in Leo's expectation, but also in his body. Unexpectedly, this made him stunned for a long time.

Seeing Leo's serious expression, Barbarisa became a little nervous. He couldn't help feeling uneasy, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Leo, is there something wrong with my body?"

"No, you misunderstood! Not only is there no major problem with your body, but it is also very good." Leo signaled Barbarisa not to worry, then thought for a while, and said, "Do you still remember the matter you asked me to investigate?" ?"

"Is it something about the god of the beginning?" Barbarisa thought for a while and confirmed.

Leo nodded, and went straight to the topic: "I have investigated clearly, you are indeed related to the God of Beginning, or your ancestors are related to the God of Beginning, so you also have some blood of the God of Beginning, I I think the reason why you were canonized by the Church of True God probably has something to do with your blood."

"I have the blood of the Primordial God?" Barbarisa was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Leo ignored Barbarisa's reaction and continued: "The various abnormal events that happened in the castle before are probably related to the awakening of your blood, and the changes in your body are also related to the awakening of your blood, so you don't have to worry. When your bloodline is fully awakened, and when you master the power of the awakened bloodline, all abnormal reactions will end, and you will also be able to obtain extremely powerful power, and may even have the ability like a god."

Although from Leo's words, the awakening of the blood seems to be a good thing, which can make ordinary people have extremely powerful power, but Barbarisa is not happy because of this, because years of experience have made him very clear that a little bit of gain is a big gain The greater the reward, the greater the sacrifice. It is impossible for someone to be so lucky that he does not pay a little and reap great benefits. Therefore, in his opinion, if he has obtained such a huge harvest because of the awakening of the blood, then he There will also be an equally huge price to pay.

"What do I need to pay?" Barbarisa asked Leo without hesitation when he was very clear about his own situation.

Leo was silent for a while, and said: "If I guess correctly, when the blood in your body is fully awakened, you may need to become the savior of this world."
