The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Let me take a look at the Flower of Eternal Flame that burns in Purgatory. It's a very good treasure! I'll take it!" Quadromo squatted on the chair specially made for him, and quickly picked a piece of it from the pile of trade items in front of him. A flame flower that was sealed in a certain crystal, carefully placed it in a box, and asked the owner of the flower, "What do you want?"

"I want a purification stone." The owner of the flower is a strange-shaped creature with a thick carapace and a head that looks like an elephant head. There are many mysterious symbols engraved on the surface of the carapace on his body, but these symbols have been cracked. It opened, and the flames could be seen burning continuously through the cracked gap.

"Purification stone?" Quadomo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the other party's request, and reminded like a well-meaning person: "You have been cursed by those Balrogs for burning. It seems that you have reached the limit. If you don't touch the curse, You won't live long."

"I just want the purification stone." The elephant-headed man didn't obey the figure of Quadrome at all, but gritted his teeth and repeated.

Seeing this, Quadomo didn't say anything else, and took out a large box that was far larger than the capacity of the leather bag from a leather bag that was not too big behind him, put it on the table in front of him, and said, "You choose it yourself." Take a piece!"

The elephant-headed man stepped forward to open the box, and saw that the box was full of purification stones of different shapes and sizes. The moment he saw these purification stones, all the intelligent creatures from the fallen world couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was difficult to suppress the greedy look in their eyes, but those native abyssal creatures showed disgusted looks, and invariably took a few steps back, fearing that they would be irradiated by the light from the purification stone.

They will have such a different reaction, which is entirely due to the effect of the purification stone. This purification stone is produced in the most filthy place in the abyss, but it has a powerful effect that can purify the pollution of the abyss. A single purification stone can resist the pollution of the abyss for a long time, so it is also an important item for the fragments of those fallen worlds to continue to exist in the abyss.

Because purification stones only appear in the filthiest places in the abyss, even creatures native to the abyss have difficulty surviving in such places, let alone creatures from the fallen world. Going in and out of those places, the purification stones that are difficult for others to get are in their hands like ordinary stones that can be picked up on the side of the road.

However, even so, Quadomo would not sell these purification stones at a low price, and a pricey flower of eternal flame met the bottom line of the transaction price in their hearts.

Judging from all the signs, the elephant-headed man should be trading purification stones for his own world, even if the curse on him is already very serious, but if he does not have the assistance of other clansmen, it should be difficult to bring this thing back to his world , because the moment he picked out a purification stone and put it in his rucksack, there were already many intelligent creatures from other fallen worlds around him staring at him. The number of people from the fallen world in the tent has decreased by more than half.

For Quadomo, as long as there is no accident in his tent for the traded goods, then he will not care about the follow-up matters, even if the trader is robbed just after walking out of the tent, it is none of his business.

After that, he selected a few items that he was interested in from the trading items to trade, but what made people feel strange was that his judgment on the value of the trading items seemed very random.

For example, some transactions are worth as much as the flowers of the eternal flame, but He is only willing to offer a very low price, while some transactions are of very low value, but He regards them as treasures, and he took them out to make everyone around him salivate. of the abyss wonders as a trading condition.

Soon all those who could get the trade items in the market had already completed the transaction with Quadmo, and the people gathered outside the tent also gradually dispersed, but Quadmo did not close the booth and leave, but continued to wait in the tent Waiting, as if waiting for something.

Then, Leo walked in from the outside and stood in front of Quadmo. The moment he picked up Leo, Quadmo squeezed out an ugly smile on his skinny and stiff cheeks.

Before Leo could speak, Quadmo pointed to the wedding ring on Leo's finger and the ring transformed from the demigod abyss vine, and said impatiently: "I want those two things, and you can offer a suitable price."

Seeing this situation, Leo was stunned, and looked down at his wedding ring and the demigod abyss vine ring. The reason why he came into the tent was mainly to see if he could get the Go to Hill from Quadremon. Via's domain method, but what he didn't expect was that the other party had already focused on the two items in his hand before he even entered the tent.

Undoubtedly, based on the value of the items on his body now, the wedding ring blessed by the White Deer and the demigod abyss vine ring are definitely the most valuable. He didn't feel angry either, but instead remembered the legends about Quadromo's various trading abilities, and felt that this might be an opportunity to help him solve his doubts for many years, so he smiled and said: "My request is very simple, as long as you can Tell me who it is, awaken all my memories, and then these two things will be yours."

Hearing Leo's request, Quadromo hesitated for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

The reason why Quadomo behaved like this was not because of how difficult Leo's request was, but because in his opinion, this request was too easy, so easy to abnormal.

Quadomo is very aware of how powerful the human being in front of him is. Although the battle in the dense forest was very short, the relevant news has spread throughout the valley. Abyss snake, this kind of combat power is already at the top level of the abyss, and it is impossible for such a powerful person to not know the true value of the ring and the ring in his hand, but even so, he still made a request that sounds so simple , no doubt this is an abnormal behavior worthy of suspicion, unless the request should be so difficult in his opinion that it far exceeds the value of the ring and the ring.

After contemplating for a moment, Quadro raised his right hand, and then directly tore off a layer of skin on his right arm with his left hand. After this layer of skin was separated from Quadro's body, a terrifying abyss will spread in the tent. It flashed past, and immediately a large amount of abyssal blasphemy appeared on the skin, and at the same time, a symbol that looked like infinity appeared on the top of Quadomo's head.

When this symbol appeared on the top of Quadomo's head, the space and time of the entire market stopped, and only Quadomo and Leo could move.

"Continue to say your request." Quadmo said to Leo with a serious look.

Leo hesitated for a moment, and repeated the request just now, saying: "My request is that as long as you can tell me who I am and awaken all my memories, then my wedding ring and the demigod abyss vine ring will be yours. "

As Leo's words fell, another line of blasphemous words appeared on the skin in Quadmo's hand. Seeing the blasphemous words appearing on the skin, there seemed to be a feeling of relaxation on Quadmo's stiff face. expression, and then saw that he had imprinted his thumb on the skin, and after a while of burning, there was an additional fingerprint of his finger on the skin.

"It's your turn." Quadmo handed the skin in his hand to Leo.

Leo did not show any timidity or doubts, and directly took the piece of skin from Quadomo. The moment he touched the skin, he knew that this piece of skin was sacrificed by Quadomo to the will of the abyss. A transaction contract came, the content of the contract is what they just said.

In Leo's abyssal knowledge, Quadro rarely uses this method to trade with others. Only when Quadro feels that he is very likely to suffer a loss will he use such a transaction contract, because such a This transaction contract is the fairest transaction contract in the abyss and even in the entire universe. Even the Quadomo, who is favored by the abyss, should not try to do anything with such a contract.

Thinking of this, Leo didn't hesitate, and printed his finger on the skin. After a while of burning, his finger print also appeared on the skin. At the same time, Leo could also feel an abyssal will indirectly falling on the skin through the fair trade contract. on him.

Seeing that the contract was completed, Quadmo smiled again. He took the contract and put it on the table, and the time and space in the market returned to normal. rummage up.

After a while, Quadromo took out a scalp shining with golden light from the leather pouch. This scalp was not a human scalp, but came from another unknown species. The scalp was complete and peeled off from the neck. , Peel off the complete scalp of a head, and inlay eyeballs on the eye sockets of the scalp.

However, Leo's focus is not on the shape of the scalp, but on the light emitted by the scalp. Leo feels the strong power of time on the scalp.

Quadomo put the scalp on his head, and explained proudly: "This is the scalp of the god of time in the fallen world. Through it, I can see the traces left by any life in time. , as long as you collect these traces, who you are and what experiences you have in the past are not secrets from me."

Although judging from its size, the scalp of this God of Time is much smaller than that of Quadomo, but this scalp seems to be infinitely extendable, and it was easily pulled by Quadomo enough to cover his entire head. After the Quadro was slipped in, the scalp shrank again, and it stuck tightly to the Quadro's skin, causing the Quadro to present a strange shape with a golden head and a pitch-black body.

However, Quadomo didn't care about this, and inspired the divine power of time in his scalp, covering Leo, and then peeped at the traces of time on Leo's body.

At first, Quadromo was taken aback, because he saw the existence of that lady in the time trace on Leo's body, and also found that the outsider in front of him had such a close relationship with that lady, and The ring that he used as a transaction turned out to be the wedding ring with that lady, which made him regret this transaction.

Although, as Quadromon, he is not afraid of that lady making trouble for him, but the power that that lady has in the abyss will definitely bring a lot of negative effects to his group and affect the cycle of the group The transaction amount, in this case, his status in the ethnic group will also be affected, so at this moment, he is thinking about waiting for the transaction to be completed, and then find an opportunity to re-trade the wedding ring back to the other party to eliminate this hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Quadmo calmed down and continued to capture the traces of time on Leo's body, looking for the answer to Leo's question.

At this time, Leo also behaved very calmly, he let the light of time emanating from his scalp shine on himself, and let Quadrome search and check the content of his time trace, because he also wanted to know what happened to him. Who is it, who wants to obtain his complete memory.

Through the subtle expression that flashed on Quadomo's face, Leo could feel that the other party should have found something in the time traces on his body, and he was also looking forward to the final answer.

However, what he never expected was that after about ten minutes passed, the Quadomo in front of him suddenly trembled violently, as if he had been clicked, and before he could understand the situation, the Quadomo The demon, together with the scalp of the God of Time it carried on its head, turned into a pile of ashes.

Leo was completely stunned by the sight in front of him. He thought that Quadro's spying on his time trace might trigger some taboos, such as the stone throne, etc., but he never thought that Quadro would turn into ashes because of the taboo After all, the Quadomo in front of him is protected by the abyss. It is not difficult to defeat them, but it is not easy to kill them. And just now he didn't even feel a breath of power. It was reduced to ashes before his eyes.

The only thing that can explain this situation is that there is a powerful taboo hidden in his time trace, which even he doesn't know. This taboo can even dispel the shelter of the abyss, silently killing any Trying to spy on the life, thinking of this, he also became more curious about what he had experienced in the past, and at the same time wondered whether this taboo came from the experience he lost after leaving Vanaheim, or from the earlier recovery in the Velen Continent previous past.

Just when Leo was still surprised and puzzled by the scene in front of him, several black rays of light flashed in the tent, and then four very old Quadro appeared in the tent. The appearance of these Quadro All the same, the only difference is the shape and number of the huge horns on their heads, and the content of the blasphemous words on the horns.

The moment the four Quadromes appeared in the tent, their eyes fell on the pool of ashes in unison, and then they looked at Leo and asked in unison: "Excuse me, what happened just now? Will your compatriots die suddenly?"
