The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After leaving Barbarisa's castle, Leo spent a few days returning to West Green Emerald Castle, met with the countess, and briefly told the countess about Devina, although Leo had tried to delete it as much as possible. It was reduced, but what he said still shocked the Countess.

The shadow world, the shadow sun, the law of the sun, other worlds, etc. are completely beyond her cognition, but she doesn't think that the experience Leo said is lying to her, because no stupid person can make up such a thing. An unbelievable lie, so she thought that what Leo said was probably true.

"You mean my daughter is now the shadow sun of that shadow world?" Although the Countess tried her best to convince herself of what Leo said, she still confirmed it with some disbelief.

"Yes." Leo nodded.

The countess was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "So has she become a god?"

"God?" Leo hesitated for a moment, nodded again, and said, "In a way, she can indeed be regarded as the sun god of the shadow world," he said, pausing for a while, and then added : "But the premise is that she must be strong enough."

In what Leo said just now, it was mentioned that there is a powerful existence in the shadow world coveting the sun law in Devena's body, forcing Devena to leave the shadow world and return to the real world, and a part of the sun law in her body in the real world She was sensed by the gods of this world, forcing her to seek refuge in other worlds.

Although he seemed very relaxed when he talked about it, and in fact it was not an earth-shattering event in his opinion, but in the countess' heart, he could feel that his daughter's situation was not very good. After all, how could a person who was targeted by the gods be fine? .

"Is her current situation very bad?" Although she already had the answer in her heart, the Countess couldn't help but confirm.

"It's not too bad," Leo shook his head, and said, "She is protected by the tree demon Lutaxi, and she can go to a different world to seek refuge at any time. There should be no danger for the time being. If you want to see yours as soon as possible Daughter, you can find an opportunity to follow Barbarisa, Lord Protector."

The countess was stunned. She didn't understand why Barbarisa, a well-known figure in the Middle Kingdom, was involved in her daughter's affairs.

Although a lord like the Earl of West Green Emerald is considered a top nobleman in the northern part of the Middle Kingdom, compared to the central and southern regions where the land is more fertile, the city is more civilized, and the population is larger, there are many mountains and forests. The deserted northern region can only be regarded as the countryside, so even if the nobles in the central and southern regions have the same title, their social status is higher than that of the northern nobles.

Even ordinary nobles are like this. Duke Barbarisa, who was conferred the title of Lord Protector by most of the nobles in the Middle Kingdom and canonized as a living saint by the Church of True God, is even more important in the eyes of the nobles in the northern region, let alone have direct contact with him. , Even a few casual conversations are something worth boasting about for a long time for the northern nobles.

Recently, the Duke of Barbarisa has become the most talked-about person in the Middle Kingdom, not only because of his assassination, but also because of the upcoming war between the central region and the southern region. Everyone knows this The outcome of the war will determine who becomes the well-deserved king of the Middle Kingdom, which has also caused many nobles in the Middle Kingdom to choose to stand aside.

Just a few days ago, the lords and nobles in the north, especially the Green Emerald Forest, held a secret meeting. The Countess also participated in the meeting on behalf of the Earl of West Green Emerald. The content of the meeting was very simple. Standing beside whom.

Although the meeting did not have a final result, it is not difficult to hear from the words of everyone that most of the nobles in the north think that Barbarisa will be the final winner. The countess guessed that many nobles in the northern region have begun to secretly contact Baba. Lissa is gone.

Now when Leo suddenly mentioned the Duke of Barbarisa when he was talking about his daughter's situation, this made the Countess feel puzzled, so she asked Leo why.

"This matter has nothing to do with your daughter, it's about the tree demon Lutaxi who is with your daughter." Leo explained: "Barbarisa and the tree demon Lutaxi have a deep entanglement. In the near future, they The dryad Lutaxi should be found, and the dryad Lutaxi will follow Barbarisa in the future, and your daughter will also appear by Barbarisa's side."

The countess nodded after hearing this, expressing that she knew what to do, and then asked curiously: "What is this dryad Lutaxi? What does she have to do with the death god Lutaxi who appeared on the border battlefield?"

Leo simply answered the countess' doubts and dispelled her worries, then got up and left.

However, the Countess gave him an interesting piece of news when he was leaving, that is, the Church of Chasing Light had stopped mining the crystal stones at the bottom of Lake Narnia and had left the Middle Kingdom.

Obviously, what Leo did in Lake Narnia in the Shadow Realm has affected the real world, causing all the crystals at the bottom of Lake Narnia in the real world to lose their power. Naturally, the Church of Chasing Light will not continue to mine these crystals that have lost their power. Shi, as for their investment in the early stage, it should be in vain.

After leaving West Green Emerald Castle, Leo went to Lake Narnia and saw the tools and abandoned camps discarded there by the Church of the Chasing Light, even the boats were abandoned, but these things were discarded by the Church of the Chasing Light On the contrary, it was used by the local people. Many tax evaders who couldn't pay taxes, homeless people who avoided trouble, etc. occupied some empty rooms. If it continues to develop, it won't take long for these places to become a new city. village.

However, these things abandoned by the Church of Chasing Light did not attract Leo's attention for too long, and soon he was attracted by another thing. When he checked the bottom of Lake Narnia, he found that he Can see the Wizard Tower in the Shadowlands in the reflection of the lake.

It is a pity for Leo that he failed to explore the wizard tower on the shore of Lake Narnia in the shadow world, but if he had to choose again, he still would not explore that wizard tower, after all, his intuition gave him His sense of danger is so strong, this is because he absorbed the power of the stone throne in the fragments, and after his life form evolved to an eighth-level psyker, it can be seen that the danger in the wizard tower far exceeds his current ability.

But now he actually saw the wizard tower again in the reflection of Lake Narnia in the real world, which made him surprised, but also a little bit puzzled and curious.

Apparently after the shadow world and Narnia Lake in the real world lost the meteorite fragments that contained the power of the Throne of Stone, the Narnia Lakes of the two worlds were beginning to merge together in a way he didn't know, and in the process, in the process of The wizard's tower on the shore of Lake Narnia in the shadow world is also involved in the coincidence force, and the reflection in the water appears in the real world of Lake Narnia, where there should not be a wizard's tower.

This also gave Leo a chance, because he remembered that the real entrance of the wizard tower was probably the top of the wizard tower reflected in the water, and now the reflection of Lake Narnia in the real world should also be regarded as part of the reflection of the wizard tower. That is to say, he can also enter the wizard tower from the reflection in the water.

And the reason why Leo thinks this is an opportunity is that when he sees the reflection of the wizard tower in the lake, although he still feels a little bit of danger, compared to the degree of danger felt in the shadow world, the difference between the two is too big Far away, one feels death, while the other feels more like a gash in a finger.

After considering the gains and losses for a while, Leo decided to seize this opportunity to enter the tower from the reflection of the wizard tower in the real world, and explore the situation inside the tower.

After making a decision, Leo went directly into Lake Narnia, and then quickly swam to the bottom of the reflection of the Wizard Tower, which was the top of the Wizard Tower.

I saw that there was a huge and complex celestial globe on the top of the Wizard Tower. Unlike the overall illusory reflection of the Wizard Tower, this celestial globe was a real entity. Leo touched it with his hands without adding any power can also touch it.

Now it seems that this astronomical instrument should be the key to enter the Wizard Tower, and the way to enter is to adjust the astronomical instrument to the correct position. As for what will happen if it is adjusted to the wrong position, Leo does not need to think too much about it.

Although the danger Leo sensed was very weak at the moment, he guessed that even if he adjusted the celestial apparatus to the wrong position, the triggered protection mechanism of the wizard tower would not cause him any serious harm, but he did not intend to try his guess Whether it is correct or not, so he studied the celestial body very seriously, and while searching for relevant content in the various knowledge of the tower wizard in his memory, he also used a general-purpose recorder to record the shape and surface runes of the entire celestial body, and then calculated How many kinds of changes does this criss-crossing astronomical instrument with hundreds of orbits have, and analyze the law of changes.

Soon Leo found the relevant information about the runes on the surface of the celestial body. This kind of runes is a language created by the wizards of the tower. It is called Gaoante. The reason for this name is because the basic root of this language It comes from a mysterious language called Ante, which is not the language of the world of Velen, but like Gamore, it has the mysterious effect of being able to guide extraordinary power.

Leo had never learned Ante, but the basic grammar and some roots of High Ante were recorded in a high tower wizard's notebook. With this as a reference, Leo quickly deciphered Part of the meanings represented by those runes, and then he used it as the original reference data, and input it into the general-purpose recorder for comparison and analysis.

After about an hour or so, the comparison and analysis in the general-purpose recorder was completed, and the analysis report was sorted out, so the High Ante language, a language unique to tower wizards that had been lost in the world of Velen, was redisplayed in front of Leo. At the same time, the true meaning of the runes on the celestial body was also deciphered.

These runes do not have any magical meanings. They are all groups of words, and each group of words represents a kind of celestial body. It is too regular, the rules are almost false, so I think that the celestial body has been imprisoned by the gods, and there is no value in continuing to study the celestial body. In the end, the tower wizard gave up all the research on the celestial body, and only kept an unfinished book on astronomy .

Leo had never read the astronomy compiled by the wizard of the tower. This book has long since disappeared, and only a few materials have recorded this event. However, the content of this book has not disappeared, but has become The folktales of the world of Velen have been handed down, and almost all the folktales related to celestial bodies in the world of Velen are derived from the astronomy of the wizard of this tower.

Naturally, Leo had also read these folktales, so when he determined that the runes on the celestial body were related to the astronomy of the tower wizard, he quickly sorted out all the folktales related to celestial bodies in the brain database, and then Sort out the real astronomical content of the high tower, compare it with the runes on the astronomical instrument, find out the rules of the runes, and determine that each track on the astronomical instrument represents a kind of astronomical record on the high tower He analyzed the name of the celestial phenomenon, he only needs to adjust the orbit to the corresponding name rune, complete the combination of more than one hundred celestial phenomenon names, and it should be able to open the entrance of this wizard tower.

Although the process of opening the entrance of the wizard tower seems to be very simple, if it is not a tower wizard, and someone who is not very familiar with the past knowledge of the tower wizard, I am afraid that it is impossible to complete these more than one hundred sets of rune combinations in a lifetime.

After finding the way, Leo didn't hesitate. He went forward and began to adjust the orbit on the astronomical instrument according to the name of the celestial phenomenon he analyzed, starting from the outermost orbit and advancing layer by layer. It can't reach in, and can only use extraordinary power to control the orbital rotation.

Although after adjusting the orbit, the astronomical instrument did not show any abnormal phenomena, but there was also no backlash. In Leo's view, as long as the defense mechanism of the wizard tower was not triggered, it would be a good thing for him.

After the last track was adjusted to the correct position by Leo, Leo withdrew slightly from the side of the astronomical instrument, and then quickly arranged some protective measures around his body, watching the changes in the astronomical instrument.

Time passed little by little, and after about ten minutes, there was still no response from the astronomical instrument. Leo began to suspect that his previous deduction might be wrong, and the astronomical instrument was not adjusted according to the names of celestial phenomena at all.

Just when Leo doubted himself, the astronomical instrument, which had been silent for a long time, began to move, and all the orbits rotated in unison, and at the same time emitted a burst of light, which shot directly at Leo, but was caught by Leo's The means of protection are kept out.

Seeing this situation, Leo hesitated for a moment, quickly removed the protection on his body, let the light fall on his body, and after the light enveloped Leo, it disappeared immediately, and those rotating orbits also stopped by coincidence Come down and return to the position Leo saw at first.
