The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's going on with me?" Leo walked out of the road, passed through the isolation zone, and when he reached the entrance of the town, he stopped suddenly, with a vigilant and puzzled expression on his face, with a complicated look on his face Looking at the empty town in front of him, he said something to himself, and then showed an inexplicable smile, and said confidently: "Is this being affected? Either way, it's okay, following such a Jiu is also a trouble, so let's take this opportunity to solve you!"

After speaking, he took a step forward and walked into the town surrounded by the crystal forest.

The name of this town is hung on the carefully remodeled gate at the entrance, but the text on it is the text of a southern country that Leo doesn’t know. The town has a large area, and the inner city is divided regularly. The criss-crossing roads divide the city It has become small urban areas such as factory areas, residential areas, and commercial areas, and there are still reserved areas for outward expansion on the edges of these urban areas. It can be seen that the original builders of the town wanted to develop this town into a big city. .

Judging from the number of wood processing factories in the factory area, the area occupied by the residential area, and the completeness of the shop facilities in the commercial area, this town is developing very well. If it continues to develop normally, it will only take two or three years at most. , it can develop into a big city, but unfortunately, when disaster strikes, all the surrounding virgin forests have turned into crystal forests, all creatures in the town are dead, and everything in the town stays at the moment before it completely perishes.

Yes, everything in the town stays at the moment of perishing. This is what Leo discovered immediately after entering the town, and what he sees now are the traces of many people living in the town recently. The illusion created by a powerful force is just like the scene of people coming and going that he sees now.

The moment Leo entered the town, the originally empty town became noisy at this moment, and the time changed from noon to evening. There were people coming and going on the street, and workers who had just got off work from the factory were in groups of three or four. Crowded in front of the bus station waiting for the car, the housewives who just finished purchasing from the store held large and small packages in their hands, led their children, and walked carefully in the snow. All the decorative lamps on the buildings in the city were all covered. Ignite, it looks like a certain festival is being held, some politicians are holding loudspeakers in some open spaces, speaking loudly, using candy and other small gifts to attract the attention of the passing crowd, so that they can stop in front of their podium for a while.

Everything in front of him looks so normal, no different from other towns that are celebrating a certain festival. Even after seeing everything in front of him, Leo feels from the bottom of his heart that this town should be like this, even in the past For a moment the town he saw was deserted.

"Interesting power!" Leo looked at the scene in front of him, felt the feeling in his heart, and praised him sincerely.

The moment he entered the town, Leo had already felt the mysterious power that affected his cognition, but he didn't dispel this power, but let it fall on him and play a role.

I have to admit that although this force is not very powerful, it has some special features, such as the amazing effect on the cognition of intelligent creatures. It is no exaggeration to say that if Leo hadn't known the situation of the town in advance, It's hard to tell that what's in front of you is just an illusion created by mental cognition errors.

Leo also tried to capture a force, and then analyzed its mysteries through the Stone Throne, and then imitated it, but in the end he couldn't do it. This force was like an extremely flexible fish, driving it out Just need to make the movement bigger, but it is very difficult to capture it.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Leo stopped, and then used the skills he had learned from observers in recent days to transmit what he wanted to say to the surroundings in the form of a mental network, saying: "Since I'm already here, so there's no need for you to create such an illusion to confuse me, you'd better come out by yourself!"

After entering the crystal forest, there has been a force guiding Leo, trying to make Leo leave the road and go to the town beside the road.

However, because the opponent's power is very secretive, and the power itself is too weak, completely covered by the energy fluctuations emitted by the crystal forest itself, Leo did not notice the existence of this power at first, until he saw it just now When I arrived at that distinctive town, and developed a strong curiosity, when I walked down the road, I realized that I was affected by some kind of power, and I also discovered this power through some clues after entering the crystal forest He had already set his sights on himself a long time ago.

I don't know if it was because of the curiosity triggered by the mysterious power, or because of his own desire to win, Leo could have chosen to go back to the road and ignore the other party's guidance, but he chose to deal with it head-on and directly entered the town , and under deliberate precautions, he quickly sensed that unknown force and its influence.

It's just that Leo didn't intend to play hide-and-seek with the creator of this power, so he directly clarified the matter and asked the other party to come out to meet.

The spiritual communication method originated from the observer, as long as it is an intelligent creature, it can understand the meaning it conveys, and it does not need to know the language of the other party to communicate. This is not the first time Leo has used this method. On the way, he has used this method on different species including humans, and the effect is amazing. It is no exaggeration to say that this method can completely replace language and communicate with any intelligent species without barriers, even if it is the first time Wisdom species seen.

Almost at the same time when Leo's thought psionic wave was transmitted, the scene of people coming and going in the town disappeared, and everything returned to the scene he saw outside the town, but the careful Leo still found something wrong Where there is, that is the trace on the snow.

Logically speaking, what he saw just now was a hallucination caused by cognitive errors, and it is impossible for hallucinations to leave traces on the snow, but the traces on the snow now are completely different from the traces he saw outside before. , on the contrary, it completely matches the traces left by those people who disappeared just now.

Just when Leo was puzzled by the traces on the snow, a gust of wind blew from the surrounding crystal forest and blew into the town. After one breath, a huge crystal moth with crystal branches as wings and a body made of energy crystals was formed, suspended in the air.

At the moment when the crystal moth appeared, all the surrounding crystal forests trembled slightly, and emitted a burst of faint light, as if saluting the crystal moth, and the crystal moth also emitted energy comparable to that of a demigod fluctuation.

When he saw the crystal moth in front of him, the first thought that came to Leo's mind was that the other party was an abyssal superior created after the kamu worm completed the leap-forward evolution, because the other party was obviously able to control all kamu worms The crystal forest formed after infection is completely the absolute suppression of the upper and lower life forms of the same type of abyssal creature.

But what Leo couldn't understand was that he didn't feel any aura of abyss power from the other party. On the contrary, the power aura emanating from the other party reminded him of the gods of the Black Forest such as the White Deer.

"Affected cognition again?" A guess immediately appeared in Leo's mind, but he quickly denied it. His thinking and cognition were normal, and the power breath on the other party was not an illusion.

"You are thirty years behind the agreed time." Just when Leo was puzzled, the crystal moth in front of him skillfully expressed what he was going to say through the thought psionic wave Leo projected onto him. Passed to Leo in the form of spiritual thought.

Leo was already a little surprised by the fact that the crystal moth was able to feed back information proficiently through thought psionic waves, and what surprised him even more was the familiar tone of the other party, as if they had known each other before and had known each other for a long time up.

"Why do you know how to use this method to convey ideas?" With strong curiosity, Leo selectively asked an easy-to-answer question.

"Is it difficult to pass on ideas? The guy in the north has been chatting with me through this method for so many years. Although I don't know how to actively use it, it is still very simple to passively pass on ideas." Crystal Moth replied, while Vibrating the crystal branch-like wings, there are bursts of light waves, echoing the light of the surrounding crystal forest.

Leo could feel that the opponent's flapping his wings was just communicating with the surrounding crystal forest, not a preparatory action before attacking, so he continued to ask: "Does the guy in the north you mean refer to the observer?"

"Have you seen him?" The crystal moth was also surprised, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "Are you also involved in the commotion in the north a few days ago?"

Leo replied: "It's not considered a participation, it's just a bystander."

Crystal Moth asked curiously: "Did Sylvia finally find a way to infiltrate and capture that guy?"

Hearing that the crystal moth knew about Sylvia and that Sylvia wanted to catch the observer, Leo felt even more confused. He didn't rush to ask, but answered the crystal moth's question, saying: "No , He was arrested because he wanted to leave."

"What? I want to leave?" The crystal moth was extremely puzzled by the observer's behavior, and said, "How is this possible? He gave up most of his body to escape from Sylvia's clutches to this shelter How could he escape without recovering his strength?"

Although there was no tone or other information in the thoughts conveyed, Leo could already feel from the crystal moth's words that he had a very bad opinion of Sylvia, as if he regarded Sylvia as a demon king.

And this discovery made Leo quickly realize that the other party obviously didn't know his relationship with Sylvia, and that the other party would respond to his call and appear in front of him. It might be an accident, and what he was waiting for might be other people.

Although he discovered the problem, Leo did not expose it, but pretended not to know anything, and told the crystal moth what he experienced after meeting the observer according to the normal process.

And when the crystal moth learned that the observer would risk being caught and leave this safe haven without recovering, it turned out to be because of the power component in Leo's body, which made him also full of surprise , from the frequency of its flapping wings, it is not difficult to see that his emotions are a little confused at the moment.

"Who are you?" After being shocked, the crystal moth couldn't help asking the same question as the observer.

After hearing the other party's question, Leo asked back: "Don't you know who I am? Then why do you say that I am thirty years behind the agreement?"

When the crystal moth heard Leo's words, he hesitated for a moment, and then flew around Leo. During the flight, he also used his power to investigate Leo's details, but Leo did not stop him, but It was to allow the opponent's power to penetrate into the body, and at this time, he just took the opportunity to capture the opponent's power and introduce it into the stone throne.

After re-suspending in front of Leo, the crystal moth was silent for a long time. It seemed that he could not find anything useful in Leo, and Leo did not disturb the other party, but stood still and waited for the other party's response.

After a long while, the crystal moth said: "When I was caught by Sylvia and thrown here to be imprisoned, Gane, the god of death, promised to find someone who could help me and come here to rescue me. I feel it in you." After reaching the mark of Death God Gain, I also felt the power of my lord, so I will regard you as the savior."

Hearing the words of the crystal moth, Leo also realized that Gin, the god of death, sent himself to this world for a purpose, and this purpose was for the crystal moth in front of him, wanting to make use of the relationship between him and Sylvia. Relationship, rescue this crystal moth.

Although the crystal moth didn't reveal a lot of information, he could still hear that the crystal moth should have offended Sylvia and was exiled by Sylvia to the current world called Sanctuary. It is different for observers to hide in this world. According to Leo's understanding of this world, it should be impossible to open the space rift with the ability of crystal moths.

"I know the God of Death, Gain, who sent me to this world," Leo asked after a quick analysis, "But I don't know who the Lord you are talking about?"

"My lord is the guardian of the World Tree, the eternal white deer." The crystal moth gave an answer that Leo had already guessed.

"I don't understand," Leo asked again: "If you are really a subordinate of White Deer, then how could you conflict with Sylvia and be thrown into this world by her to put you under house arrest? White Deer and Sylvie Ya's relationship is not ordinary."

However, after Leo asked, the crystal moth seemed to have discovered something slowly falling from the air, and stopped in front of Leo. That Demon King Via would be so proficient and friendly?" He seemed to see the white deer ring in Leo's hand, and then he couldn't restrain the shocking emotion on his body, and said in surprise: "You are Leo Dodd ? You actually resurrected?"
