The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After returning to the room of the Belmont Family Liaison Office, Sylvia, Vera, and Elf Teresa were also here. They seemed to know that Leo had encountered a bottleneck in analyzing and cracking the Abyss Sacrifice, and wanted to Come and help.

However, Leo rejected their offer, because he felt that they should not be able to provide any effective help in this matter, but after casually flipping through the information that Vera brought over, he changed his mind , because he found that the information about the nature shaman secrets brought by Vera might be the key to his deciphering the abyss sacrifice method in Huajing City.

Leo thought that both he and Sylvia guessed that the modified abyss sacrifice method in Huajing City originated from the white deer, because they both believed that with the profound degree of the original abyss sacrifice method, even the gods might not be able to perform such a perfect sacrifice. Modification, let alone mortals.

However, they also have to admit that as mortals, they also have the opportunity to perfectly modify the abyss sacrifice method with the knowledge they have mastered, but there are only a handful of people who are capable of doing this, and the final success rate is almost as low as Yu Wu.

However, no matter how close to nothing, it does not mean that there is no chance at all, and there is still a very small probability that this thing can be done.

After seeing the more complete natural shaman secret art data that Vera presented, Leo also suddenly thought why the person back then was really just a disguise and illusion? Could it be that the person who modified the Abyss Sacrifice Law was the great shaman and high priest who discovered and imprisoned Tokatni, the superior in the abyss?

Thinking of this, Leo temporarily put the matter of comparing the data of the sacrificial pillar aside, picked up the natural shaman secret art data and looked carefully, and at the same time asked Vera to collect a large number of tribal priest secret art data , especially the secret technique information of the priest from the tribe of the high priest who worked with the great shaman to deal with the abyss superior.

Vera didn't understand why Leo was interested in the secret arts of the priests of the polar mountain tribes, but she couldn't do anything about it, because the secret arts of the tribal priests were the top secrets of each tribe, let alone let outsiders like her know , even the clansmen within the tribe should not try to get in touch easily, only the priests and priest apprentices have the opportunity to learn about it, if she collects these materials rashly, the result will inevitably be besieged by all the tribes.

After Vera expressed the difficulty, Teresa, the elf, stepped forward to take up the task, but she did not plan to go to the various tribes in the polar mountains to collect the secret arts of the priests, but directly copied a part of the secret arts of the priests of non-human races .

According to the explanation of the elf Teresa, the priestly mysteries of the polar mountain tribes are all derived from the priestly mysteries left over from the non-human race. priestly mysteries.

In the Holy Land of Refuge in the New World, the non-human aliens have fully disclosed these priestly secrets in order to find out among the many non-human aliens who are qualified to become priests, and the elf Teresa also learned to She has experienced the secret technique of priests, but unfortunately she doesn't have the slightest qualifications for priests.

Although he didn't get the priestly secret arts from the tribes in the polar mountains, especially the high priest tribe who participated in dealing with the superiors of the abyss, the non-human priestly secret arts provided by the elf Teresa can also provide him a lot. Inspiration.

Leo quickly received all the natural shaman secrets and priest secrets into the database, and then let Sylvia lead the others out, and stayed in the room alone, entering the deep consciousness, Quickly compare the structural data of those sacrificial pillars, and at the same time substitute the natural shaman secrets and priest secrets into the inspection and analysis.

After a period of careful inspection, Leo quickly discovered that these sacrificial pillars were not the same type of sacrificial pillars. According to the results of his analysis, all the sacrificial pillars in Huajing City were divided into three categories. The first category is the pure abyss sacrifice pillar, the second category has most of the core content of the abyss sacrifice pillar, a small part has added some natural shaman secrets, and the third category is a small part of the added content. Learned the tribal priest secret technique.

When Leo brought these analysis data back into Huajing City's Abyss Sacrifice Method to find the loopholes in the Sacrifice Method, some problems encountered before were immediately solved, and the original perfect modified version of the Abyss Sacrifice Method began in his eyes. There are some loopholes that cannot be ignored. These loopholes are like cracks on a plate, and it is hard not to see them.

Although the loopholes and defects of the abyss sacrifice method were discovered, Leo also discovered that these loopholes and defects were not the loopholes and defects he wanted. Perhaps in the early days after the sacrificial column was arranged, the entire abyss sacrifice method had just During operation, these loopholes and flaws can still be exploited by him, but now with the long-term operation and penetration of the Abyss Sacrifice Method, these loopholes and flaws have been self-filled in the process, and have no value of use.

However, this also allowed Leo to discover a characteristic of the abyss sacrifice method, that is, as long as the essence of sacrifice to the abyss is not deviated, the abyss sacrifice method can repair itself to make up for various defects, and this can be regarded as Leo's guess modification The person behind the abyss sacrifice method may be the high priest and great shaman at that time, because no matter how many mistakes and omissions their revised abyss sacrifice method was at that time, as long as the essence of its sacrifice to the abyss can function normally, then the modified abyss sacrifice method The sacrificial method can also be continuously improved through self-repair, so that the modified abyss sacrificial method can work perfectly as it is now.

Although there is no object that can be exploited among the defects and loopholes that have been discovered, Leo is not discouraged, because since the loopholes exist and are so obvious, it means that these loopholes may create more Unobvious loopholes and flaws, what he has to do now is to try to find these lower-level loopholes and flaws.

If possible, Leo hopes to be able to directly feel the energy fluctuations in the entire sacrificial field directly by stimulating the sacrificial pillars in the sacrificial field in Huajing City, and then compare the loopholes and defect distribution coordinates that have been deduced and analyzed one by one. Find hidden underlying vulnerabilities and flaws.

But as a result of doing so, it is likely to cause major changes in Huajing City, and may even trigger some specific sacrifice conditions, leading to the early activation of some abyss sacrifices.

Therefore, Leo had to give up using this intuitive and fast method to discover hidden flaws and loopholes, but to analyze, compare, and analyze the abyss fields, sacrifice pillars, and various secrets near those flaws and loopholes. The state of the art to find out what you want.

A few more days passed like this. When Leo came out of the room, Sylvia was not in the room, and many people from the Belmont Family Liaison Office were not there. I learned from the mouth that something happened to the temporary residence of the refugees, and the defense force of Huajing City can only be used to protect the safety of Huajing City. As for the temporary residence of the refugees, it can only be solved by hiring other people, and the Belmont family is They were hired, and Sylvia personally led the team to the refugee temporary settlement, and I also heard that Vera Thothmuller also went there with the Nature Shaman.

Leo couldn't know what happened to the temporary refugee settlement from other people. The management of Huajing City will block this matter tightly. Many people speculate that there may be a large-scale refugee riot, causing casualties. There were a lot of people, that's why the management committee of Huajing City banned all relevant news from spreading, and even blocked the road leading to the refugee's temporary residence.

But Leo guessed from the fact that Sylvia and Vera Thothmuller also personally led the team to the refugee temporary settlement that what happened there might have something to do with the abyss.

Although the news of the incident at the refugee temporary settlement caused panic in Huajing City, which had just calmed down, and worried that the refugee siege incident that occurred not long ago would happen again, but under the appeasement of the Huajing City Management Committee and the city owner, the situation in the city It's still stable, but people with a little vision can see that the number and scope of patrols by the city guard outside the city have increased a lot, which means that things in the refugee temporary settlement are not easy.

However, judging from the various news that Leo has heard now, the vast majority of residents in the city feel that the biggest problem facing Huajing City is not the temporary refugee settlements, but the Bishan City and Haider City that are still at war. tribe.

Although many residents of Bishan City and Haider Tribe became refugees and fled to Huajing City due to the fierce war, and more people died from the cold than from the battle due to the black storm and other weather reasons, but the two The leader of this place has no intention of stopping the war at all. The two sides seem to have an inextricable hatred. The flames of war have intensified as time goes by, and it is still spreading to the surrounding city-states and tribes.

Some sensitive people in Huajing City have heard that other city-states and tribes around Huajing City have also begun to have some small-scale armed frictions. Although these armed frictions are not considered wars or even conflicts, the two sides also There are no dead people, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the war between Bishan City and the Haider tribe does not stop, the armed frictions between other city-states and tribes will eventually be affected by it, and eventually become wars.

Leo's judgment on the situation around Huajing City in the future is also the same, and he can also feel that there should be signs of abyssal believers secretly instigating it, but if these armed friction city-states and tribes have no grudges, even if there are abyssal forces Such a severe state of war will not occur without provocation.

Before coming to the Polar Mountains, Leo had some understanding of the human and political environment here. The human and political environment here can be very complicated. There are primitive tribes that drink blood, and there are cities in the New World that are as famous as Huajing City. city-state politics.

However, no matter how complicated these humanities and politics are, they can be clearly divided into two categories, city-states and tribes.

In the polar mountains, all the city-states were developed by tribes. They accepted the ideas and systems of those kingdoms and territories in the south, and established different city-states according to their own ideas. The political thought and system of the kingdom can be seen in the city-states of the polar mountains. Because of this, the people of the city-states of the polar mountains think that they are civilized people, and they have left the primitive and barbaric age of ignorance. They also inevitably have a contemptuous attitude towards those tribes who still live according to ancient traditions.

As for the tribal side, they also disdain these city-state people who have abandoned their ancestors and learned from those cowardly southerners. It's just that the contempt and disdain on both sides are more reflected in the quarrel, and even if they do it, it's all Private fights between some individuals and small groups, and the relationship between tribes and the upper echelons of the city-state barely maintained a stable state.

However, no matter how the tribe and the upper echelons of the city-state tried their best to maintain a stable relationship, the people inside the two sides had already accumulated deep grievances, but the pressure from above did not erupt.

Now the small-scale armed conflict between Bishan City and the Haider tribe has evolved into a large-scale war. It is clear that if there is no strong enough external force to intervene during this period, then this war between the tribe and the city-state will be inevitable, and it may even spread from the small area around Huajing City to the entire polar mountains. It is an absolute disaster for those who live here.

"When Sylvia left, did you know the situation outside?" Leo asked the director of the liaison office after learning about the situation.

The supervisor immediately replied: "Ms. Sylvia just asked us to try to investigate whether there are shadows of cultists in the surrounding conflicting city-states and tribes." Then, he asked tentatively in a low voice: "Leo Sir, is there something wrong in Huajing City? Recently, the big shaman Vera often consults with Ms. Silvia, and it seems that the topics they talk about seem to be very serious. If something happens here, we will Don't you want to prepare in advance?"

After hearing the supervisor's question, Leo asked back: "Did Sylvia ask you to prepare anything?"

"No, she didn't say anything." The supervisor shook his head and said.

"Since he didn't say anything, there's no need to prepare anything." Leo simply responded, then walked out of the liaison office and came to the street.

He didn't intend to go to the refugee temporary settlement at this moment to see what happened there, or to help Sylvia deal with the matter, because he felt that with Sylvia's ability, he shouldn't need to help.

There is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to confirm the few flaws he found, and whether the traps arranged for the underground abyss superior based on those flaws can achieve the effect he wants.

I saw that he quickly found the positions of several sacrificial pillars corresponding to the defects of the abyss sacrifice method in the city, and placed the prepared rune magic circle around the sacrifice pillar, and then carefully activated the rune magic circle The power of it makes it form a special field that overlaps with the sacrificial field of the sacrificial column itself.
