The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the abyss, although strength and wisdom are the most important factors for judging the strength of a race, there are also several abyssal races that have found a shortcut to allow their own race to cross Overcoming the level gap, he successfully became the upper race of the abyss. This shortcut is to please the abyss, and the best of these abyss races is called Tokatni, and he has an alias of the tongue of depravity.

Tocatene is a race born from the lava of the abyss. Such abyssal races are known for their strength without exception. Their racial characteristics contain the destructive and violent nature of lava, but Tocatene is also a race. The abyssal races bred by lava are different. Their strength is not particularly strong. Before they have been promoted to the upper races of the abyss, their power is also at the bottom of the middle ranks of the abyssal races. The natural upper races of the abyss like the abyss serpent They even think that Tokatni should be classified as the ranks of the lower abyssal creatures.

In this case, the members of Tokatni did not improve their strength like other abyssal races, or purify and develop their own bloodlines to achieve the purpose of raising the status of the group, but collectively trained their sophistry ability, and Various deceptive abyss spells have been developed.

Later, when the abyss invaded different worlds, Tokatni sent a large number of members to infiltrate the worlds, bewitching and corrupting the hearts of those worlds, and then causing those worlds to corrupt from the inside and fall into the abyss.

It has to be said that Tokatni's method is very effective. A large number of worlds were corrupted by them and fell into the abyss. It really pleased the will of the abyss. After the number of corrupted worlds accumulated to a certain level, the entire Tokatni race was directly promoted to become the upper race of the abyss.

Although promoted to the upper race of the abyss, the bloodline has undergone incredible transformation under the influence of the will of the abyss, which has raised the power of all the Tokatni people to the level of the upper race of the abyss, and the will of the abyss has also given them the corresponding Abyss abilities and spells, it can be said that Tokatni is no different from the real abyss master, but Tokatni may have benefited too much from the shortcut, and he is unwilling to change the way they do things, and even worse, He has developed some spells and abilities that contain bewitching and corrupting effects, including the Corrupted Tongue, and seems to intend to please the will of the abyss as the core will of his own group.

At the same time, they also found that compared to corrupting the entire world and dragging the entire world into the abyss, corrupting some church saints in the normal world with firm ideology and will and the favor of the gods seems to be easier to gain the attention and love of the will of the abyss, so they started The focus of corruption has been shifted from the entire world to those church clergy and some special humans who behave like saints, so as to obtain more favor from the abyss.

Taking Tocatene as the standard, it is obvious that the firewalker Perunia, who is respected by the polar mountains, is a standard Tocatene. I think Polostan should have been corrupted by her back then, and Sylvia also The guess is correct, the fire walker Perunia is probably not dead yet, she is still hiding in the polar mountains to confuse people.

Thinking about it now, the reason why the Church of True God has not been able to take root in the mountains for so many years may not be as simple as Leo thought before. Mountain preaching, but they all failed without exception, and died here without a sound. It is very likely that Tokatni is also involved.

"If there is really a Tocatene hidden in the polar mountains, how can we find him?" After carefully recalling the relevant information on Tocatene, Leo found that he had no knowledge of Tocatene's general situation. Apart from understanding, I don't know all the details of this ethnic group's appearance, racial ability, living habits, behavioral characteristics, etc., so I asked Sylvia: "How much do you know about Tokatni?"

"A little more than you, but not too much." Sylvia thought for a while and said, "The Tocatene are a race born from the lava of the abyss. They have an innate love for lava, and they like to build near lava. The lair, I hate the cold very much.” Then, she looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and said: “In an environment like the polar mountains, if Tokatni had no target and was active, he should stay in the lair honestly In the middle, wait for the weather to warm up before acting, so you only need to go to those places with lava to look for it."

"There are many places with lava in the polar mountains!" Leo recalled the information on the polar mountains and said.

Although the last volcanic eruption in the polar mountains was more than a hundred years ago, the volcanoes in the mountains have not erupted again since then, and the extremely cold ice and snow covered the mountains, making the entire mountain range a frozen world, but Under this frozen world, volcanic lava is not uncommon. Some people who are good at forging even built cities near extinct volcanoes with lava fires underground, using lava fires for metallurgical forging.

This is still the lava ground fire that can be seen, and there are more small lava ground fires that are completely hidden underground, and their approximate location can only be judged by geothermal heat. For example, there is a hidden lava flow underground on Movit Road. This lava flow may be thousands of meters deep underground, but its thermal energy has already formed geothermal heat on the ground, which has become the main reason why Movit Road City can have a large number of people living in this extremely cold place.

Throughout the mountains, there are many hidden lava flow locations underground on the Movit Road. Almost all cities and small towns with geothermal heat have similar lava flows underground. I want to rely on the location of the lava to find a Tokatni, who is hiding his whereabouts, is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

"There are indeed a lot of places." Sylvia nodded understandingly, and then said: "However, that Tokatni will definitely not really live in seclusion like a hermit. Since he has successfully corrupted a respected The clergy of the Church of True God who are regarded as sages, then He will definitely not stop, we can start with the missionaries sent here by the Church of True God, and local celebrities in the mountains, and we should be able to find some clues from them."

Hearing this, Leo also agreed. At this time, the people of the Belmont family were bringing in a batch of materials collected according to Sylvia's order, but they couldn't help being stunned when they saw a man in the room. Curiosity also arose in their hearts, but they didn't ask any more questions. Instead, after putting down the things, they turned and left the room, and continued to move other materials.

These materials about Polostan were originally prepared by Sylvia herself to find the Tocatene. Now that the matter has been handed over to Leo, it has become Leo's task to look up these materials. He ordered his servants to collect information on the missionaries sent to Gunshan by the Church of True God in the past fifty years and the biographical information of celebrities in various cities in Gunshan.

Leo didn't say much, just sat on the soft bed next to the window, and quickly flipped through the books. Because he flipped through the pages so fast, Sylvia had to arrange an attendant for He carried the materials sent over.

Because of Sylvia's intimate attitude towards Leo, her attendants arranged by the Belmont family gradually knew Leo's identity, but even if they knew Leo's identity, they were not curious about Leo. Weakened a little bit, but I was more curious about how Leo got Sylvia's favor and became her partner, because Leo looked so ordinary, which also made their eyes full of scrutiny when they secretly looked at Leo It means that this kind of sight is so obvious that Leo can clearly feel it even without raising his head.

It's no wonder they are so curious, it's really because Sylvia's performance in the Belmont family has been so outstanding during this period, it has completely overwhelmed the Duke of Belmont and other high-level family members, and her affinity is also very strong. Within the Belmont family, a large number of admirers were created. Those who can be selected as Sylvia's attendants are naturally the best among the admirers. In their view, Sylvia, who is so perfect, favors Such an ordinary man is really weird.

It's just that they don't know what kind of role this ordinary-looking man in front of them played and what role he played in the big incident that happened not long ago in the old territory of the Belmont family. The family is highly confidential, even the members of the direct line may not know it, let alone their side branches.

In this regard, Sylvia did not intend to explain to Leo, on the contrary, she preferred to see Leo being surrounded by this group of attendants with such strange eyesight, which made her quite happy.

As for Leo, he didn't take the strange eyes of these attendants seriously at all. He was completely immersed in the reading and analysis of these materials, and found out all the hidden clues and key points. With the continuous addition of a large amount of data, a The form of the complete abyss upper species Tokatene was gradually constructed, and its behavior pattern was also deduced, and according to this behavior pattern, he compared the materials of those missionaries of the Church of True God and celebrities from the mountains, and soon he found out Clues to Tocatene's hidden location.

"Look at her profile." Leo directly took a copy from the profile of celebrities in the polar mountains and handed it to Sylvia.

"Vera Töttmuller?" Sylvia took the document, turned to the first page, saw the eye-catching name on it, and said with some surprise: "You suspect that she is the fire walker who changed her appearance?" Perunia?"

Leo shook his head, motioning for Sylvia to read the information.

Sylvia carefully looked through the document in her hand, closed it, thought about it carefully, and said, "Is it Vera's secret lover?"

Leo nodded, and said: "Comparing this information with Polostein's experience in the mountains, we can find that the two are similar in many places. Obviously, this fire walker used the set used in Polostein. It's on this Lady Vera."

After thinking about it for a while, Sylvia also agreed with Leo's guess, and then said: "If it is really Ms. Vera's problem, then we may cause a lot of trouble if we do it."

The reason why Sylvia said this was entirely because the identity of Vera Töttmuller was very difficult, and any action against her was equivalent to targeting the entire polar mountains.

Although the Polar Mountains are now a city-state system, each city, town, and tribe is independent, they do not belong to each other, and they are in a state of cooperation with each other, but in the initial construction period of the Polar Mountains, there was an opportunity to divide the Polar Mountains Mountains are built into nations.

However, the patriarch of the Thothmuller family who was the leader at that time did not make himself a king, but gave up his power and let the polar mountains maintain the current city-state system, although the consequence of doing so was that the disputes between the cities continued , the friction has not diminished, but the city lords and management of each city are also very grateful and respectful to the head of the Thothmuller family at that time, so the Thothmuller family has always been the first family in the polar mountains. Even if he doesn't have any real power, his influence covers the entire mountain area, and his prestige is naturally unusual.

In the end, almost all the battles between the various cities in the Polar Mountains will be mediated by the patriarch of the Thoth-Müller family, and the agreement after mediation will be recognized by both parties. Therefore, many people who know the dignitaries of the Polar Mountains think that Thoth The patriarch of the Muller family can be said to be the uncrowned king of the polar mountains, and the management and city owners of the various cities in the polar mountains also agree with this statement. will join forces to create a crown for the patriarch of the Thothmuller family.

The Vera Thothmuller mentioned by Leo and Sylvia is the patriarch of the Thothmuller family, a great shaman, and the founder and president of the Mountain Relief Society. It is the largest charitable organization in the entire polar mountains. A large number of people at the bottom of the mountains have received help from this organization. Therefore, Vera has also gained a lot of prestige and fame, and is called the polar ice flower.

Attacking such a person who is respected and even worshiped by the people of the polar mountains is undoubtedly attacking the entire social system of the polar mountains. Even Leo and Silvia, who are already like demigods, may need to attack. Consider it.

Leo suggested: "We only need to deal with Vera's lover at the beginning, and there is no need to directly conflict with Vera. After we get the evidence of Abyss interference, we will hand over the evidence to the people of the Polar Mountains and the Church of True God." , let them decide what to do with Ms. Vera."

"Is there any difference between dealing with Vera's lover and dealing with Vera?" Sylvia shook her head, pointed to the information, and said, "The relationship between them can be said to be inseparable, and it is impossible to separate them."

"You don't need to worry about this, leave it to me!" Leo smiled and said with great confidence.
