The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Sylvia could see that Leo didn't understand what the sacrificial pillar was, so she described the origin of this extraordinary item in detail.

The sacrificial pillar can be said to be a method created by the abyssal creatures in the most ancient period to please the will of the abyss. Simply put, the abyssal creatures at that time had no distinction between upper and lower races, and they were in the most chaotic state. Creatures don't have much wisdom, they don't understand that the best way to please the abyss is to pollute the world and let the world fall into the abyss.

After they sensed the existence of the will of the abyss, they adopted the most primitive method of blood sacrifice to please the abyss, and the sacrificial column came into being in this way. At first, they sacrificed members of their own ethnic group, and later they sacrificed to capture For other abyssal races, with the emergence of the ranks of the abyssal races, the superiors became the best objects of sacrifice. That is, at this time, the sacrificial pillars were completely banned under the joint operation of the superior races of the abyss. In the end, it was lost in the abyss, and it was replaced by the method of polluting the world and devouring the world to please the will of the abyss.

If it was in the past, Sylvia might not be able to resist the fact that the so-called natural totem pole in front of her is the sacrificial pole. Thanks to her considerable improvement in strength when the Belmont family migrated, it directly opened up a lot of abysses. The dragon's inheritance memory even included some very ancient memories, which made her recognize the origin of these pillars at a glance.

After listening to Sylvia's narration, Leo couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and asked, "Does it take a lot of flesh and blood to make such a totem pole?"

"Of course you need a lot of flesh and blood." Sylvia nodded and said, "Not only does it need a lot of flesh and blood, but it also requires a lot of flesh and blood. For this totem pole, at least the flesh and blood of an adult abyssal dragon is needed." Feeding can reach this level, which is why it can have such a powerful suppressive effect on another abyss superior. Otherwise, the sacrificial pillar made of the flesh and blood of ordinary abyssal creatures may not be able to suppress an abyss superior. of."

"Not only quantity, but also quality is needed." Leo said with a puzzled look on his face, "But in this Huajing City, there are thousands of similar sacrificial pillars. The people who made these pillars Where did you get the flesh and blood of so many adult abyssal dragons?"

When Sylvia heard this, she was stunned. She could estimate so many flesh and blood of the abyssal dragon without careful calculation, which is definitely not what an adult ordinary abyssal dragon can provide, or there are many abyssal dragons. Either the old abyssal dragon that has grown to an astonishing size can provide so much flesh and blood.

However, if there are really many abyssal dragons, or an old abyssal dragon appearing in this world, it will definitely bring a devastating disaster to this world, and this world has already fallen into the abyss long ago. It is still hanging in mid-air as it is now.

"Do you know who made these pillars?" Sylvia asked.

Leo replied: "I guessed that Vera Thothmuller made it before, but now I don't think she can make these things."

After hearing this, Sylvia thought about it seriously, and then said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that he made this thing?"

While talking, I saw Sylvia pointing to her feet.

Leo hesitated for a moment, and quickly understood what Sylvia meant, and said a little puzzled: "Make the sacrificial pillars yourself, and then use these sacrificial pillars to suppress yourself. What is he trying to do by doing this?"

"It's very simple. Sacrifice yourself and the whole world to the abyss!" Sylvia quickly expressed her thoughts, perhaps because she felt that her expression was not clear enough, so she explained it in more detail.

In Sylvia's view, this is the self-sacrifice trick of Tokatene, the Firewalker Perunia. You must know that the core of Tokatene, the upper race of the abyss, is to please the abyss. All the secret arts of the abyss are created around pleasing the abyss, and naturally there are many schools of thought, and self-sacrifice to the abyss is one of the main schools of thought.

Sylvia felt that Perunia, the fire walker, was a self-sacrificer. He made a large number of sacrificial pillars, handed them over to some natural shamans, and then pretended to be the suppressed, quietly Waiting for a suitable time to sacrifice oneself to the will of the abyss, and at the same time use the huge abyss power generated by the sacrifice ceremony to corrupt the world and drag the world into the abyss together.

As for the firewalker Perunia, she can deceive the will of the abyss through some kind of substitute method while performing self-sacrifice. The elf who claims to be a substitute is likely to be the backhand left by the fire walker Perunia.

Leo listened carefully, without interrupting Sylvia's words the whole time, and at the same time analyzing the possibility of what Sylvia said in his heart, although these are just Sylvia's guesses, there is no more powerful Evidence, but in Leo's analysis, the possibility of such a thing is very high, and it may even be time to close the net now.

After analyzing some results, Leo suggested to Sylvia: "I think we should go see the great shaman Vera, and ask some questions."

Sylvia also nodded.

So, the two went directly to the headquarters of the Natural Shaman Society in the city. In the hall, the two showed their identities to the shaman attendant, who immediately sent someone to inform Vera Thothmuller, and led them to the only A reception room in the side hall.

It is said to be a reception room, but it is actually more like a prayer room. The entire wall of the room is covered with vine-like plants. These plants are rooted in the gaps in the wall, but they do not destroy the deconstruction of the wall. On the contrary, they serve as a buffer The function makes the house stronger and stronger, even if it encounters an earthquake, the house will not be in danger of collapsing.

The moment they entered the room, Leo and Sylvia were attracted by a mural in the room at the same time. The walls of the entire room were covered with vines, but the one with various colors was bypassed. The murals are patchwork made of different stones, which makes the murals immediately eye-catching. After entering the room, people will look at it involuntarily.

The content of this mural is very simple. It is a woman carrying countless ordinary people on her back and walking on the fiery magma. The people walking up looked like they had trampled countless monsters under their feet, giving people an inexplicable sense of power.

"Firewalker Perunia." Sylvia whispered.

Leo didn't have a different opinion. After all, the object of this painting is too obvious. Anyone who knows a little about the experience of the fire walker will know what the object of this painting is.

Although it is only a painting, it is not difficult to feel from this painting that the natural shamans seem to respect the fire walker very much, otherwise they would not have made such an excellent mural, and placed this receptionist In the side hall, there are some things used by shamans in meditation in front of the murals. Obviously, almost all the people waiting here should be shamans.

"What is this, a temptation?" Sylvia, who has rich political experience, doesn't think it's just a coincidence that she and Leo were arranged in this room with a clear direction. She thinks it should be Vera Thothmuller's temptation It's a little trick, just to see how they treat Perunia, the fire walker.

Leo didn't have any opinion on this, he just found a place to sit down at random.

However, Sylvia didn't seem to intend to expose this matter, raised her hand and touched the vines around the mural, and then saw that the lush vines were all withered and decayed, and the decayed vines and branches and leaves formed A not particularly clear but very vivid form of a dragon with wings spread, combined with the murals, gives people a sense of the power of the dragon hiding outside the world to serve Ni Wanwu.

Sylvia's vindictive approach didn't make Leo feel that there was anything wrong with it, on the contrary, this small temper made him feel a long-lost vitality.

With the rapid improvement of the strength of the two, they touched the edge of the transformation of life form, and the feelings of the two of them became a little indifferent to the outside world. Even if the relationship between the two did not change, the behavior and life that contained vitality However, the attitude has undergone many changes due to emotional indifference. Over time, all kinds of indifference manifestations have accumulated together, so that even if the two of them often stay together, there will be an indescribable strangeness.

The two discovered the problem early on, but neither of them tried to change anything, and did something to cater to each other in order to increase their vitality. Instead, they let everything go with the flow, because they knew very well that even if they catered to each other, they would not be right about things. If there is any change, this process of indifference is part of the evolution of life, and they also know very well that the relationship between the two cannot be affected by this emotional change. They feel that there is no need to make any changes, they just need to adapt themselves. OK.

However, when that rare act of vitality appears, they will also cherish this rare moment, just like now, the two of them sit quietly in the room, quietly admiring the added touch mural.

Knowing the visit of Sylvia and Leo from the servants, Vera Thothmuller and her elf companion did not immediately get up to meet the two of them. In fact, after Sylvia entered the Flower Mirror City, she She already knew of Sylvia's arrival, and then Sylvia and Leo went to the totem pole closest to the Belmont family liaison office. She also knew it immediately, but she didn't know that Sylvia What exactly did Ya and Leo do in front of that totem pole, and what was the content of the conversation afterwards, but she could vaguely feel that what they said was very important.

Just as Sylvia guessed, Vera ordered the natural shaman to take Sylvia and Leo to the room with the fire walker Perunia after the attendants in the reception hall saw Sylvia and Leo. , the purpose of which is to test the two people's attitudes towards the fire walker, because any trace of respect or other positive emotions towards the fire walker Perunia will become a hidden danger in the things to be done in the future.

After waiting for a while, Vera and her elf companion came out of the room together, but the two who came out of the room did not push the door to go in, but stood outside the door, not because they didn't want to go in , or heard any abnormal movements in the meeting room, but the moment they stood at the door, they all entered a peaceful state of mind, this peaceful state is like a shaman entering It's like a natural dream, and they don't want to do other things in their minds anymore, they just want to stand here and maintain this peaceful state all the time.

In the past ten minutes or so, the mysterious force field that caused the two people to calm down suddenly disappeared, and both of them woke up from that state at the same time.

Although Vera and the others checked their bodies for the first time and found that there was nothing abnormal, and even the negative emotions they had recently squeezed up began to dissipate due to the influence of that peaceful state of mind, they did not have any joy in their hearts. Watching the door in front of him vigilantly, or the people in the room behind the door.

Power is the only thought in their minds now, and shock is their emotion. When you know Sylvia, Vera has already looked up to Sylvia as much as possible, even thinking that Sylvia Their abilities should be about the same as their own, but even though they haven't seen the real person yet, they have already felt the opponent's power, and this kind of power that can easily control the mentality of the two of them made them realize that Sylvia's strength may be far exceeded their initial expectations.

It's just that they didn't know that the mental force field that caused them to fall into a peaceful state of mind did not originate from Sylvia. You must know that Sylvia's power may be stronger than Leo's in terms of power, but in In terms of control ability, it is not a star and a half. Even if Sylvia knows how to create an emotional and mental force field, it is impossible to do it like Leo affects Vera Thothmuller and the elves without hurting each other. Take the mentality and emotion of the two into your own spiritual force field.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Leo and the two were enemies, then when he used the mental force field to control their emotions just now, killing them was as easy as killing two ants.

Leo arranged this mental force field not deliberately to give Vera and the elves a disgrace, but he was just demonstrating to Sylvia the witchcraft he learned and improved from those high-tower wizard books in the wizard tower. It can't be called witchcraft anymore, because this kind of spiritual force field is more like spiritual energy, not to mention that this kind of spiritual force field can be combined with the spiritual net to create a very large spiritual field.

However, although this kind of mental force field can produce effects on Vera and the others, it cannot affect Sylvia, because Sylvia already has an unshakable divinity, and a little mental force field is not enough to shake her. her divinity.
