The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After living in the snowfield for so many years, Filoria can be said to have seen all kinds of weirdos and freaks. She felt that it was difficult for ordinary things in this world to surprise her, but now she realized that she was wrong. The Leo Dodd in front of her made her extremely surprised. After all, in the past, no one would propose to a stranger who just met to explore the treasure together.

When she was surprised, the first thought that popped into her mind was that the person in front of her was joking with her, so she asked if the person knew what she was talking about, but after asking, she regretted it , because she faintly felt that the person in front of her was not joking, but really thought that there was a treasure in the palm rock in front of her, and invited her to explore it together.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about." Leo smiled and pointed to the corpses of the bandits who were being dragged away by other members of the Ice Bear Caravan, and said, "I originally planned to use them as pathfinders to help me explore. Treasures, but now they have been killed by you, and you seem to be more suitable as my collaborator."

Filoria frowned and said, "Are you blaming me for killing your Pathfinder?"

Leo shook his head and said, "No, I'm just extending an invitation to Your Excellency."

"How do you know that there are treasures in the Palm Rock?" Filoria stared at Leo and asked, "Is it also because of those rumors?"

Because of the special shape of the Palm Rock and the magical geothermal heat below the Palm Rock, rumors about hidden treasures in the Palm Rock are not uncommon in the snowfields, and there are various rumors, among which the most widely spread is It is rumored that the palm rock was originally the palm of a certain god, but it was cut off by a hostile god in a battle of gods and fell to the ground, and the geothermal heat under the palm rock was caused by the blood of the god.

Although the rumor of the palm of the gods is the most widely circulated, the church clerics and tribal priests on the snow field all scoffed at this rumor. They are extremely sensitive to the power of the gods and they know very well that the palm of the hand rock, let alone divine power, does not even have extraordinary power, and On the contrary, there is an unknown curse in the palm rock.

The palm rock curse can be said to be one of the well-known common sense in Xueyuan. As long as you stay near the palm rock for too long, no matter whether it is a person or an animal, you will have various diseases. The most common disease is body ulceration. , festering wounds cannot heal, and can only die in pain, so even though the palm rock is due to geothermal heat, the surrounding temperature and environment are very suitable for human life, but no tribe has settled here or built a town.

However, it is precisely this powerful and invisible curse that has made the rumors about the existence of treasures in the Palm Rock enduring, and some people have always believed it, because in their opinion, if there is nothing of amazing value, why use such a powerful treasure? The curse to protect here?

So now Filoria also regards Leo as someone who believes in the rumors of the palm rock treasure.

Leo knew very well what Filoria was thinking at the moment, and he also knew that it was useless to explain it with his mouth. It is impossible for a person like Filoria to believe the legend of the so-called treasure without seeing the real thing, so he just smiled Staring at the other party, there was no response.

At this time, Filoria also felt that something was wrong with her surroundings, or something was wrong with her subordinates. As usual, she and a stranger were talking loudly about the treasure here. How could her subordinates not believe in the legend of the treasure? , and more or less would give them a glance or two out of curiosity, but from the time she talked with Leo just now, the people from the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce around them were busy building a temporary camp with their heads down, and no one looked at the conversation. The two of them glanced at each other, which was really unreasonable.

"You did this?" Feeling something was wrong, Filoria pointed to the people around her very directly, and at the same time put her other hand on the handle of the ax at her waist, and asked.

Leo looked at Filoria's hand holding the handle of the axe, and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a kind of witchcraft to confuse cognition, it is to make them feel that the most important thing now is to build a camp, and temporarily ignore other things. matter."

Filoria didn't feel any hostility from Leo. On the contrary, Leo's mysterious aura made her feel a little kindness inexplicably. This feeling made her temporarily give up some vigilance and take her hand away from the handle of the axe. , and then asked: "What did you just say you were?"

"Wizard." Leo responded.

"Wizard?" In this world, there is no such profession as a wizard, and naturally there is no corresponding word. Leo used the word "wizard" in French once. Naturally, Filoria couldn't understand the meaning, but she could still feel it. The occupation represented by this unfamiliar word should also be related to extraordinary power, so he asked: "Can you tell me what a witch or a teacher is?"

Leo explained briefly, and said: "Just like your priesthood, they are all people who possess some kind of extraordinary power," he said, pointing to his heart and saying, "It's just that your priests' mastery of extraordinary power comes from It comes from blood and perception, and our wizards' mastery of extraordinary power comes from..." He moved his index finger to his head and said: "Spirit comes from knowledge."

"It turns out that you are from those alien races." After listening to Leo's explanation, Filoria obviously had some misunderstanding, mistook Leo for someone else, and said, "Didn't all of your race have migrated to the New World?" Is it? Why do you want to come back?"

Hearing this, Leo was slightly stunned, and soon realized that Filoria most likely misunderstood that she was those inhuman aliens who migrated to the New World a long time ago, and now all hide in the depths of the virgin forest of the New World .

Although I don't know why Filoria knew about the existence of those non-human races, you must know that even in the Church of True God, there are only a handful of people who know about these non-human races, but Leo didn't ask, nor did he explain. Misunderstood, but smiled and said nothing, giving people the feeling of acquiescing.

Filoria did feel that he had acquiesced as he thought. As for not answering, this was not beyond Filoria's expectation, because in her opinion, since the other party ventured back, it must be because of something important. It is absolutely impossible to tell others about such an important matter.

But even if Leo didn't speak, it didn't stop Filoria from guessing, especially the proposal Leo said before seemed to her like an obvious reminder, so she looked at the huge palm rock in front of her again. , Shen Sheng said: "You came here for the treasure in the palm rock? You didn't lie to me just now, there is really a treasure in the palm rock?"

"Follow me." Leo stood up and walked towards the entrance he detected with the spirit net. When he saw Filoria following up, he stopped and reminded: "Don't tell your subordinates. A moment? It may take a while."

Hearing this, Filoria immediately turned around and waved to several supervisors not far away who were supervising the construction of the camp, and gave a few instructions, and then called her war bear partner, and motioned to them to stay. In the camp, after finishing the order, she motioned for Leo to continue leading the way.

I don't know if it's because Filoria has absolute control over the caravan, or because Leo's confusing cognition witchcraft is still working. There is no objection to the practice, and no one even talks about it, as if it never happened.

The two people who left the camp walked around the edge of the Palm Rock, and soon came to a huge hot pool located in the southwest of the Palm Rock. It is very concentrated, so the pool water is no different from boiling water, and it keeps tumbling and steaming.

Leo came to the edge of the pool, pointed to a certain position under the palm rock, and then jumped into the scalding pool and disappeared on the tumbling hot water.

Seeing this scene, Filoria couldn't help being stunned, hesitated for a while, and suddenly felt that she was a little baffled now, that she would believe a stranger's words to explore the treasure, which really didn't fit her character, and she was just thinking about herself. After doubting for a while, she felt a trace of anticipation and excitement that she hadn't had for many years. It was the feeling that came from facing unknown dangers, and it was also the feeling she hadn't seen for a long time.

Then I saw her raising her hand, following her power, and concentrated it in her hand, and saw a beautiful and regular ice flower appear in the palm of her hand, and the ice flower was quickly stacked and accumulated under the impetus of extraordinary power, and in the blink of an eye An ice crystal is formed.

At the moment the ice crystal formed, she pressed it against her chest, and the ice crystal instantly shattered and turned into a silver-blue light that enveloped her whole body, making her look like an ice that had been frozen for many years same as people.

After taking the protection, Filoria also jumped into the water in the direction Leo pointed out before. Because the water in the pool was tumbling, there was no buoyancy at all. After entering the water, she sank directly to the bottom of the lake. When the red water touched the layer of silver-blue light around her body, the temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, and even condensed into ice cubes.

At the bottom of the pool, Filoria quickly found the target location, because in the pitch-black water, there was only a bright light in that direction, and it was hard not to see it.

So, she walked in that direction, and soon came to the bottom of the light, followed her with a strong leap, jumped towards the light, drilled into the light, and came to a dark cave at the bottom of the palm rock , Leo was standing on the edge of the cave, not knowing what to do, but a ball of light was floating above Leo's head, illuminating the cave, and this ball of light was also the light she saw in the water just now.

Filoria, who got out of the water, looked at the rock cave. She could clearly see that the cave had man-made excavation marks, but the cave was not very big. However, the hidden treasure mentioned by Leo just now is not in the cave.

Although Filoria is very clear that even if there is treasure hidden in the palm rock, it is impossible to put it in a cave and be found so easily. There must be other hidden secrets in this cave, but when she saw the empty cave Still a little disappointed.

Then, with a trace of curiosity and confusion, she walked to Leo's side, wanting to see what Leo was doing standing in a corner of the cave.

Leo didn't stop Filoria from coming over to watch him crack the entrance control program of the alien spaceship. He dug up the rock camouflage on the outer layer of the control device, cut off the outer wall of the pipeline with a sacrificial knife, and then removed it from the GM. Pull out a link data cable from the recorder, and put it on any data cable in the pipeline, so that the main control program of the general recorder is connected with the main control program of the spacecraft.

As long as this spaceship is a spaceship produced by the Supreme Council of the universe to join the cosmic civilization, then the main control system of the spaceship will inevitably leave a general channel for information transmission to the general recorder, although the program level of this communication channel is very low and belongs to the lowest level However, it is not difficult to transmit a fake door opening signal to the main control program controlling the entrance and exit through this communication channel.

After the general recorder was connected to the communication protocol of the spacecraft, a smile appeared on Leo's face, although he knew nothing about the alien civilization that built the spacecraft, and he didn't understand the language used by the spacecraft's main control system at all. , but this spacecraft is still a cosmic civilization under the Supreme Council of the Universe. When building this spaceship, some protocol codes required by the Supreme Council of the Universe were inevitably added to it, and Leo only needs to use these protocol codes. A spaceship is basically defenseless against him.

On the side, Filoria looked at the operation in Leo's hands in amazement. She couldn't understand what the image-generating bracelet in Leo's hand was, but she vaguely felt that it should be a The artifacts left over from prehistoric civilization also reminded her of the rumors about those inhuman and alien races.

According to the history her mother told her, the non-human races actually came to this world earlier than humans, and when humans came to this world, the non-human races had already created a very high civilization and possessed great power , and also mastered many more ancient secrets.

Seeing Leo's actions now, she quickly thought of the ancient secrets held by inhumans and alien races, and this palm rock became a part of the ancient secrets in her heart. When she thought that she was about to explore the mysteries and find the hidden treasures, Her blood also became hotter a lot, and an excited look appeared on her face.

Just when Filoria guessed that Leo had mastered those ancient secrets, and how important this palm rock is in the ancient secrets, a slight vibration came from under her feet, and then she saw a rock not far away. The wall began to crack into pieces, and as the pieces fell to the ground, the stone wall disappeared, revealing an unbroken metal wall behind.

Filoria couldn't help walking over curiously, touched the wall with her hands, and found that the metal wall was very smooth, as smooth as if it had been smeared with oil.

When Philorea was still immersed in the peculiar characteristics of the metal wall, the wall suddenly sunk inward, followed by superimposing each other and moving around, and finally formed a three-person-high entrance, and inside the entrance was a sloping downward. Dark passage.
