The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Savior?" Barbarisa was stunned by this completely unexpected news, and even spoke a lot louder. Fortunately, he has experienced a lot of things, and he has the ability to stay calm and calm down quickly. , but the tone was still unbelievable, and asked: "Mr. Leo, are you joking?"

"When did you ever see me joking?" Leo replied in a deep voice.

Barbarisa fell silent, and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "Why do we need a savior? Could it be that our world is about to be destroyed?"

Leo didn't answer, but just looked at Barbarisa calmly.

And Barbarisa could also see some clues from Leo's calm expression. His face immediately became gloomy and ugly, and his figure seemed to be a little unstable. He had to hold on to the table, and followed him to support the table. Edge went to the chair next to him and sat down, casually took out a bottle of wine and a wine glass from a small wine cabinet next to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, but hesitated when he wanted to drink, put down the wine glass, and took it directly The wine bottle was poured into his mouth, and he didn't stop until he drank half of the bottle in his stomach, and the originally disordered breath also recovered a little.

After recovering physically and mentally from the shock of this shocking news, Barbarisa looked at Leo and reconfirmed with a solemn expression: "Are you sure our world is about to be destroyed?"

"Yes." Leo gave a very positive answer, but then added: "Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of years ago, this world was already on the brink of destruction."

At first Barbarisa didn't understand the meaning of Leo's words, he was still immersed in the news of the destruction of the world, his head drooped, his face full of frustration, but after he was silent for a moment, his mind turned around , suddenly raised his head and looked at Leo, with a strange expression on his face that could not be described in words, and said, "Tens of thousands of years ago?"

"Yes, tens of thousands of years." Leo nodded, then motioned Barbarisa not to move, then reached out and touched Barbarisa's forehead, showing the whole picture of the world he saw in outer space to According to Barbarisa, the scene of the abyss was too shocking, beyond the tolerance of ordinary people, so Leo slightly modified it.

The modified picture that Barbarisa saw was a branch extending out, with a crumbling world hanging at the end. Although the modified and simplified image looked a bit weird, it was enough for him to understand how it happened. something happened.

When Leo's hand left Barbarisa's forehead, Barbarisa's sight also returned to normal, and then he said with a little surprise: "Our world is a fruit on a tree?"

"You can say that." Leo nodded.

Barbarisa was silent for a while, and then muttered to himself: "Just now I saw that our world seems to have been disconnected from the tree, but a vine entangled our world, so we didn't fall down."

"Yes, you looked very carefully." Leo said in a deep voice: "I don't know when this world left the World Tree, but I guess it should have been like this a long time ago."

"World Tree? A very appropriate name." Barbarisa responded casually, and then asked: "If our world is separated from that World Tree, what will happen? The whole world is like a fruit falling from a high place Did it fall to pieces as well?"

Leo shook his head and said: "No, but it will be more miserable than falling apart. The whole world will be dragged into the abyss, and everything in this world will be corroded by the abyss. Some people may become abyss monsters, and some people will become monsters." Food for monsters, until everything is completely swallowed by the abyss, this world will become a part of the abyss, no matter what it is, from body to soul, it will be completely swallowed by the abyss, and even the gods cannot escape."

"Abyss?" Listening to Leo's description, Barbarisa couldn't help but shiver, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "I remember you mentioned that the statue in the obsidian box is something from the abyss ?”

"Yes, that is the bait of a certain superior in the abyss." Leo nodded, and said: "The superior in the abyss is equivalent to the gods of the world, and in many cases the power of the superior in the abyss even surpasses the gods. When you ask When the statue prays for something, it is equivalent to praying to the sacred object of the gods. When it responds to you and fulfills your prayer, then you must pay the corresponding price. For the abyss superiors, The price they demand is often beyond imagination."

Barbarisa showed a thoughtful expression. Although from Leo's mouth, he knew that praying to the superior in the abyss would pay a heavy price that he might regret, but he felt that even if he knew these things, if Leo hadn't appeared just now If not, he might still pray to the statue to make a wish, because compared to losing his family, it doesn't matter how much he pays.

Leo seemed to see through Barbarisa's thoughts, and said, "Do you think that as long as your wish can be realized, it doesn't matter how much you pay?"

"Yes," Barbarisa did not deny, turned to look at his sleeping wife and children, and said, "It doesn't matter how much I pay for my family."

"It's touching, but it's very stupid." Leo shook his head with disdain, and said: "If the abyss superior represented by that statue answers your prayer and heals your wife and children, but you need The price you paid was killing your wife and children with your own hands, do you think it’s okay now?”

Hearing what Leo said, Barbarisa was completely stunned, looked at Leo, opened his mouth, as if something was blocking his throat, unable to say anything.

What Leo said was not nonsense, because if according to his speculation, Barbarisa really prayed to the abyss superior, then things will most likely happen afterwards, because only in this way can Barbary Sa had a mental breakdown, was eroded by the power of the abyss, and finally completely degenerated.

"What's the benefit of them doing this?" Barbarisa said in a hurry.

"To completely degenerate the savior of a world is what they want most." Leo replied truthfully, and then added: "And they set up a game to play you completely in the palm of their hands. The whole process It has been able to satisfy them for a long time."

Barbarisa hesitated for a moment, and seemed to think of something, and asked, "Mr. Leo, what are you talking about..."

"When I checked your wife and children just now, I found the breath of the abyss on them, that is, the breath of the abyss made them fall into pain," Leo said in a deep voice: "If this assassination is not aimed at You, but your wife and daughter?"

Barbarisa's face instantly became ugly. Although Leo's words were groundless, and the result of his investigation was that he was the target of the assassination, he still felt that Leo's words were very likely to be true. It made him feel shuddering.

"Why? Why am I some sort of savior?" Barbarisa couldn't help asking the biggest question in his heart.

"Because of your blood." Leo looked at Barbarisa with complicated eyes, and said, "Your blood comes from the White Deer. From a certain point of view, you are also a descendant of the White Deer."

"White deer?" Barbarisa asked puzzled, "Is that the kind of white deer in the forest?"

"Of course not." Leo shook his head and said, "The white deer I'm talking about is the guardian of the World Tree. To some extent, he can represent the World Tree."

While speaking, he looked at Barbarisa again, still surprised that Barbarisa had the blood of the White Deer.

In fact, Leo had suspected some kind of connection between Barbarisa and White Hart before, because the senior clergymen belonging to the White Hart Church were in Barbarisa's territory, and he had met Babarisa that day. After Lisa, the clergyman took the initiative to appear in front of him to contact him.

Although that contact did not involve anything about Barbarisa from the beginning to the end, and the deal with him was to use the dead branches that a certain tree sea world could get as the price, in exchange for him helping the White Deer Cultist and his people He moved to the Kingdom of Teresa, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this meeting was too coincidental and too deliberate. You can come up with something that makes his heart beat when you meet for the first time, and get his attention intentionally or unintentionally. The power transfer to other places and so on are all so suspicious.

And when he checked the physical condition of Barbarisa's wife and children just now, he also found traces of natural force on them, that is, the resistance of this natural force, which made Barbarisa's wife and children feel trapped by the breath of the abyss. After the assassination, it was only weak and sick, and there were no other serious problems. From this, it is not difficult to guess that after Barbarisa was assassinated, there must be someone with the power of nature who came here to treat Barbarisa's family. And the only people with this ability in Barbarisa's territory are those White Hart Cultists from other worlds.

Barbarisa who has the blood of the White Deer, the disciples of the White Deer, and the dryad Lutaxi who has obtained the incarnation of the White Deer to open the memory of the blood in person. These people with obvious identities are concentrated in the Middle Kingdom area, plus they are from the Middle Kingdom area. The particularity of the original God, all the clues were connected by Leo, making various guesses in his mind, and one of the most reliable guesses is the hypothesis of the savior.

In the hypothesis formed by Leo's guess, the Barbarisa in front of him is not the first savior to appear in this world. The last savior is very likely to be the God of Beginning, but unfortunately he is too unlucky to do anything yet It fell, but his blood was passed down, which is now Barbarisa.

And this savior should be written by White Deer, because in the world of Velen, White Deer has had the experience of creating a savior more than once, such as the knight king of the first dynasty of France. It is for this world that may be pulled into the abyss at any time. As for what is in this world that attracts Bailu to do this, he is not yet clear, but since Bailu even guided his followers to this world, and personally enlightened the tree demon Judging from Lutaxi's bloodline memory, White Deer obviously has not given up on saving the world.

In addition, Leo also has reason to believe that the appearance of the sun in the shadow world may also be inextricably linked with the white deer. The deer blood began to awaken, and there must be some kind of connection between the two that Leo hadn't discovered yet.

Even, Leo had some suspicions that the reason why he and Sylvia came to this world was also caused by the secret operation of the White Deer. The ring of blessing is related.

All in all, judging from the current situation, Bailu should want to free this world from falling into the abyss.

"I've never heard of anything about the White Deer?" Although the expression on Barbarisa's face had returned to normal, she still felt unbelievable in her heart.

Leo thought for a while, raised his hand to take off his ring, and put it in Barbarisa's hand.

Barbarisa didn't understand why Leo did this, and he looked blank, but soon he felt as if his body had been thrown into icy water, and a piercing coolness invaded his whole body from the ring in his hand, following the sight in front of him. The scene suddenly changed.

From Leo's point of view, when his ring was placed in Barbarisa's hand, a white light immediately shone from inside the ring to wrap Barbarisa, and then he saw a miniature phantom incarnation of a white deer appearing in front of him. in front of you.

I saw this incarnation nodded towards Leo, then turned around and jumped into the white light that enveloped Barbarisa.

Undoubtedly, the current situation has confirmed Leo's various speculations about the White Deer, and now what makes him curious is what the White Deer wants to do with Barbarisa.

Although Leo was curious, he had no intention of disturbing him, and sat casually aside, waiting for the light on Barbarisa to disappear.

After about half an hour, the light on Barbary's body gradually faded and disappeared, and the ring in Barbary's hand also returned to normal. At the moment when all the light completely disappeared, Barbary A pattern of deer antlers appeared on Sa's forehead, and then quickly dissipated.

"Thank you, Mr. Leo." Barbarisa handed back the ring in his hand to Leo, and said, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I still don't know my mission, and I will spend my life in a daze."

"Mission?" Leo took the ring and put it on again, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell me what knowledge and mission Bailu taught you?"

Barbarisa shook his head without even thinking about it, and said: "This is my mission, and I need to complete it by myself. You should go about your own affairs! Get out of here as soon as possible and go to the world of trees and seas. Find something there that will help you."
