The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the end, Governor Ville didn't believe Leo's statement about controlling monsters, but he adopted the inference of parasites. After finishing his conversation with Leo, he ordered the soldiers to cooperate with doctors to deworm and kill the whole city. Carry out plague inspection and prevention and control.

All the kingdoms in this world that participated in the development of the New World have good medical capabilities, especially in dealing with infectious diseases, and have a set of prevention and treatment systems for parasitic diseases.

This is mainly because in the process of these kingdoms’ exploration and colonization of the New World, the biggest casualties are often various diseases, among which infectious diseases and parasitic diseases are the most serious. For this reason, several coastal countries have established several joint medical institutions for these diseases. The hospital specializes in this kind of medical research, and has achieved quite impressive results in the past ten years.

The Kingdom of Root was one of the first kingdoms to establish relevant medical schools. Although they did not cooperate with other kingdoms, they obtained quite a lot of research results through means such as buying and stealing, including the prevention and control of infectious diseases and parasites. Technology has also reached the forefront.

Matou Bay is the important town of the Root Kingdom in the New World. Three of the most outstanding infectious disease and parasite experts have been arranged here. This inspection of the entire Matou Bay is also led by them, and they are well aware of the damage caused by infectious diseases and parasites. Sexually, their attitude towards this matter is also extremely rigorous, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. They checked the entire Matouwan town and its surrounding areas three times, and finally found three dangerous parasites and seven people carrying them. Patients with infectious diseases such as dysentery will nip the plague that may break out in the future in the bud.

However, the three parasites they found were completely different from the parasites on Daman who was locked in the cell. The parasites on Daman were obviously a new species that had not been recorded in any medical journals.

Because of this, the decision to execute Daman and then burn Daman's body was postponed indefinitely, and Daman also came out of the cell and was taken to a specially designated isolation area near the port. Hand it over to those three medical experts for research.

As for Leo, even though Governor Vail did not believe in the monster cybernetics he said, he still believed that Leo had extraordinary knowledge and abilities, but he had not yet made a clear decision on how to arrange him, so he only improved a little bit. For example, he is no longer regarded as a prisoner, but an employee, that is to say, he will be given some salary regularly, and he will also be allocated a large amount of funds to let him carry out the work according to his own wishes. All in all, in terms of treatment, he is almost the same as the general officials in Matouwan.

It's just that at the same time as the treatment increased, the number of people around him also increased a lot. Not only did he add two followers, but he also added four soldiers to protect him in name. As for misuse, a general secretary in charge of property was also specially assigned to be in charge of fund review.

Leo didn't care about this kind of treatment improvement. He cared more about the parasites in the pustules on Daman's body, so before Daman was taken away, he went to see Daman again and broke a few Pustules, removed the parasites inside, and brought them back to their residence for research.

The reason why he is interested in this parasite is because he knows this parasite, and knows its origin and usage, but this knowledge does not come from this world, but from the world of Velen.

When Leo saw the shape of the pustules on Daman's body for the first time, he had a feeling of deja vu, and later found that there were parasites in the pustules, which made him more sure of the origin of his feeling.

There are also a lot of trees and jungles on the Mosang continent in the world of Velen, and there are also various strange species there. Because of the shamanism belief in the Mosang continent, these strange and weird species are all applied to shamanism. And according to the different species used, shamanism has also been classified, such as the animal spirit shaman who uses beasts as the core of shamanism, the wood spirit shaman who is good at using plants, and the insect shaman who is good at using insects.

Compared with beast spirit shaman and wood spirit shaman, there are not many insect shamans who specialize in insects as their core power, mainly because insects that can meet the requirements of shaman spells are far more powerful than beasts and plants. There are less than 20 kinds of insects that can finally meet the shaman spell after countless years of verification, and the parasite on Daman is one of them.

This parasite is called Jiaku, which is famous because it likes to build nests on a kind of Jiaku tree. Its adult insects are very large, similar in shape to cats and dogs, but its eggs are very small, only one-third of a grain of rice One, and what the worm shaman can use is only worm eggs.

The bug shaman will collect the bug eggs, cultivate the bug eggs with shaman magic, and finally turn them into powdered bug powder. When the insect powder sticks to the enemy, the insect powder can adhere to the surface of the skin, then penetrate into the human body through the pores, be brought to the back by the blood, hatch into larvae, and surface on the skin in the form of pustules.

Although the eggs have been parasitic on the target and the larvae have hatched, this will not cause too much damage to the target. Only through the stimulation of a specific shaman force of nature, these Jiaku parasites will mutate. A special insect fluid will be produced and injected into the target's body, prompting the target's body to mutate in a very short period of time, turning into a monster.

Because this kind of shamanism is very easy to be discovered, and the effect it exhibits is extremely scary, so the shamans in the Mosang continent often use this kind of shamanism to torture and punish criminals, and they are rarely used in actual combat.

After Leo recognized this kind of gakku, the first thought in his mind was this kind of shamanism, and after analyzing Daman's experience, he was very sure that these gakku had come into contact with Daman The monster planted on him, and driving wild beasts or other media as a method of delivering insect eggs is also a method of shamanism.

Although it can be determined that Daman has been hit by shaman spells, Leo is still unable to confirm that the shaman spells in this world have supernatural powers, because according to his understanding, the shaman spells that use the gakrut can also use regular spells. There is no need for a special shaman to cast it. In some tribes, the people who cast this shaman spell to punish criminals are usually tribal executioners, and the executioners are ordinary people.

As for how to perform it, Leo is not very clear. After all, this kind of shamanism is useless to Leo. He just understands it a little bit, and has not seriously studied this kind of shamanism.

Compared with whether this kind of shaman spell involves extraordinary power, Leo is more curious about why the garku appear in this world.

All he can think of now is that these chakruts were brought to this world from the ghost ships from the world of Velen, and they also brought the seeds of the jakku tree, because the larvae of the jakku only eat the jakku tree. Only the tree sap can grow. Without the sap, the chrysalis will naturally perish.

However, Leo quickly denied this inference, because the ghost ship from the world of Velen happened after the gray fog on the sea disappeared, and before that, the so-called ghost ship that appeared in the gray fog was a sailless ship, and Judging from the legendary description of this gray fog ghost ship, it is more like an aircraft than a ship, not to mention that the ship usually appears in the deep sea far away from the shore, unlike the current ghost ship that will When stormy weather occurs, it may even be in the shallow sea area very close to the shore. It is easy for the tree species and insects carried on the boat to fly to the shore. It may have been only a dozen years since the worms came to this world.

In the past ten years or so, it is impossible for the Jiaku tree and the Jiaku insect to reproduce on a large scale, let alone be discovered by the people here, and based on the Jiaku insect eggs, they have developed a world similar to the world of Velen. Shamanic spells.

So after negating the inference of a ghost ship, Leo made a very bold inference, that is, the Mosang continent and the current new continent are actually the same continent, and the Velen world and the current world may also be the same. In the same world, not only the land is connected, even the ocean may be the same ocean, but separated from each other by the gray fog.

Leo's inference is not groundless. In addition to the fact that the missing ship in Velen World appeared in the form of a ghost ship in this world, there is another point that can also be used as circumstantial evidence, that is, the ocean of this world is also covered by gray fog. Wrapped, no one knows what is on the other side of the gray fog.

However, these two pieces of evidence only support the possibility of this inference, and cannot be used as actual evidence. Leo still needs to find more evidence. This evidence is the various plants and animals that grow in the New World. It seems that since the garde tree and garde beetle have already appeared in this world, there must be other unique plants belonging to the world of Velen that will appear in this world.

For this reason, Leo specifically found the Governor's Mansion, in the name of research, hoping to access various biological specimen materials collected by the former Lute Kingdom pioneering group.

Although the main task of the pioneering group formed by these colonists is to open up the land and destroy the enemy, collecting biological specimens is also one of their important tasks, because these unique creatures from the New World can be sold at very high prices in the Novat continent, especially That rare breed.

Leo's application was quickly approved, and he was taken directly to the archives built next to the town government office building. Afterwards, the administrator brought stacks of dusty documents and piled them on the table.

Seeing these documents that have not been turned over for a long time, and some of the pages are almost covered with mildew, Leo also understands why the governor of Weier will agree to his request so easily. Obviously, for the people here, Rare species from the New World are valuable, and the documents documenting them are worthless, not even worth looking at.

When the administrator kept taking out the dust-laden data files from the warehouse, Leo also quickly flipped through these files. Before the administrator took out all the files, he had almost read all the files on the table. files, and there is already a clear conclusion, that is, the current new continent is indeed connected with the Mozambique continent.

In these records, not only the detailed characteristics of each creature discovered by the pioneering team are recorded in detail, but also exquisite pictures are attached, so that you can understand the shape of this creature more intuitively, and in these recorded creatures Among them, nearly a quarter of the plants appeared in the Mosang Continent, and they are also endemic to the Mosang Continent. There are no such plants in the Velen Continent and the Minsk Continent. In addition, there are some insects, It is also a unique species in Mozambique, but the number cannot be compared with plants. As for other beasts and birds, none of them are the same as those in Mozambique, but there are still some beasts and birds that can be seen from their shapes and habits. It can be seen that it should have a blood relationship with some wild beasts and birds in the Mozambique continent, and they belong to different branches of the same source of biological species.

Based on the fact that the Mozambique Continent and the New Continent are very likely to be the same continent, Leo can almost make a bold inference. The depths of the virgin forest in this New Continent must be shrouded in gray mist, just like the forest on the edge of the sea. Like the gray fog, there are even other continents like the Mosang Continent and the New World in other worlds, which made Leo even more curious about the gray fog covering the continent.

After returning to the residence from the archives, Leo continued to conduct unfinished research, mainly to study whether there is any supernatural power in the parasitic larvae of the gnat, but after repeated attempts, he did not find any traces of supernatural power from the parasitic larvae , this kind of worm was cultivated by other unknown methods, but the function of this kind of worm has not changed. It still secretes some kind of liquid to urge the host's body to mutate. As for the normal stimulation of larvae He hasn't discovered the method for the time being, but one thing is certain is that the larvae of the Gakrut can still be stimulated with extraordinary power.

After confirming that the shaman spell of Jakkuch did not involve extraordinary power, Leo did not investigate further. In his opinion, he did not need to take the initiative to find the person who cast this shaman spell, but just waited quietly. The person who casts the shaman spell will appear by himself, because it is not difficult to see from Daman's experience that the person who casts this kind of shaman spell is conducting some experiments, and Daman is just one of the experiments, and there will be more experiments in the future Appear until he thinks that this shamanic spell has achieved the effect he wants, and he will appear in front of these people in Matou Bay.

Although at this moment Leo is sure about the connection between this world and Velen's world, Leo is still curious about the notes he found on the Queen Sydney, and wants to wait until the end of the Queen Sydney. What happened, so he spent the next few days in the room deciphering the above ciphertext and interpreting the contents of the notes.
