The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who was ready, officially entered this broken city full of distorted buildings, but at the same time as he entered the city, because he was worried that the spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual net would touch something bad, he didn't use the spiritual net to check the surroundings. Instead, the auxiliary brain system records the terrain to adjust the walking route.

However, he soon discovered that the method of recording the terrain by the secondary brain system was also redundant. As Charles Ranko said before, the terrain here was disordered and chaotic.

At the previous moment, Leo observed the recorded surrounding terrain with naked eyes, and found that the terrain had changed while walking in the city. Even if he just turned around, the buildings, roads, etc. in front of him would be different from before turning around.

The only fixed azimuth sign is the striking black sun overhead, just like the earth's North Star.

Faced with this situation, Leo had no idea of ​​finding a shortcut, but followed the experience left by his predecessors, using the black sun as a direction sign, and walked straight ahead.

While walking, Leo also entered the buildings on both sides of the street many times to see if he could find some information about the city.

However, in the end, he did not find the information he wanted, but found some books left over from the civilization related to this city.

As recorded in the information, each layer of the world in the big library is the last knowledge base of the fallen civilization, where you can see civilization books related to the current world everywhere.

When Leo entered the first building, he discovered the books of this civilization. These books are completely different from the books in the conventional sense. They are all the heads of demons. The heads of these demons are all oddly shaped, the only thing in common is that they all have horns, and each reveal represents all the knowledge that the head possessed during its lifetime. There will be more knowledge.

It is also very simple to read the knowledge in these skulls. You only need to reach out and touch the skulls, and then use your own spiritual energy to activate the hidden power in the skulls, then the toucher can obtain all the knowledge recorded in the skulls. Moreover, this kind of knowledge is not transmitted to the toucher in the form of words and languages, but allows the toucher to directly know the content of this knowledge, just like he already knew this knowledge.

It's a pity that these demonic knowledge are either confusing information, or some recipes, such as how to cook delicious creatures, etc., and more of them are pure killing ideas. If it wasn't for the sub-brain system to isolate these killing thoughts, I'm afraid Leo would also be affected by it, either becoming irritable and bloodthirsty, or completely becoming a killing lunatic.

For Leo, the only really useful knowledge came from a demon skull. Compared with other skulls, this kind of demon skull is less distorted in shape, and looks more like a human skull overall, except that the eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth are much larger than human skulls, and this one is different from other skulls A symbol resembling the root of Turing is inscribed on the forehead of the skull.

Leo found a total of three such demon heads, each of which conveyed different knowledge to him, two of which were memories of a war, in which Leo could only see the entire world being destroyed by various All kinds of demons are shrouded, and the demon whose head belongs to can only wave the flaming weapon in his hand and frantically kill all the movable objects around him, including his companions.

Although this kind of pure killing memory had some adverse effects on Leo's mind, the killing instinct contained in the memory was well integrated into Leo's body, allowing him to obtain an ability that can be summarized by the sub-brain system. The psionic gifted killing instinct.

The role of this ability seems to overlap somewhat with the will to fight in psionic talent, which is to be able to quickly master and master any skills related to killing. But if you think about it carefully, you can find that there are some complementary aspects in it, because the will to fight is only for cold weapons and hot weapons, and has no effect on supernatural powers such as witchcraft, but the killing instinct is different. All the abilities related to killing are suppressed. Summarized in it, and witchcraft such as violent runes and air hammers are no exception.

In addition to accidentally obtaining a psionic talent, the remaining demon head also brought an important message to Leo, and this message was a flame. Leo didn't know the function of this flame or what it was, but he knew from the information that this flame was very important, which was related to whether he could survive in the abandoned city when the darkness came.

Although the knowledge transmitted by the demon head itself is not dangerous, the process of transmission is dangerous, and this danger cannot be discovered by ordinary people. Only Leo can see from his personal data interface that when he receives knowledge from the head, he The daily value of will is slowly decreasing, and at the same time, the item detection result given by the sub-brain system is a series of question marks and garbled characters.

In addition, these demon skulls are very hard and difficult to destroy. Only by turning the twins into sacrificial knife mode can the skulls be destroyed. Leo did not destroy all the skulls he saw, but only picked out the skulls he found. Several long horns are similar in shape to daggers, and the long horns are cut off to serve as daggers.

The reason why Leo wastes time and energy doing these things is because he found that these heads have a strong transmission effect on spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy injected into them can be directly transmitted to the other end with almost no loss of time.

Leo's own psychic skills may not be able to use this kind of psychic transmission, but some of the witchcraft he mastered, especially some enchanting witchcraft, such as sharpness, violent runes and other witchcraft, can be used in This devil material above.

Just like now, he cuts off the long horns of the devil and uses them as daggers. If necessary, he can use enchantment or offensive witchcraft on the long horned daggers. The witchcraft effect of will be improved to varying degrees.

Along the way, Leo calculated through the secondary brain system that he had walked in the city for more than nine hours, at least hundreds of miles away according to his traveling speed, but he calculated from the perspective of the black sun and shadow above his head, For the past nine hours, I felt more like I was standing still.

However, Leo is very clear that in this world, he cannot judge his position through light, shadow, position and other information. The only reliable thing is the energy activity around him. Although there is no fixed constant, Leo can clearly understand that the energy activity around him has at least doubled compared to the beginning through the analysis of the secondary brain, which shows that his current position is different from before.

"Huh!" Leo suddenly stopped when he passed an arch-shaped building, because at the moment he passed the arch, he suddenly felt something passing by him, but he was very sure There are no living things around him.

"Activate the spirit vision!" Leo ordered the sub-brain to activate the spirit vision skill when the naked eye could not find any abnormalities.

At the moment when he activated his spirit vision, a vague white figure appeared in front of him, and he saw this figure walking past the arch continuously, as if playing a three-dimensional effect in a loop.

"Black-robed wizard Riise?" Although the white figure was very vague, Leo could still tell from several main features of his body and clothing details that this white figure should be the black-robed wizard Riise.

The secondary brain system quickly analyzed what caused this situation, and passed it on to Leo. After seeing the answer, Leo couldn't help but said to himself, "Is this overlapping parallel planes?"

In the analysis of the deputy brain, this situation is because the planes where the city is located are overlapping, that is to say, although Leo and others entered the demon library from the entrance of the abandoned city, but The plane world they are in is not the same.

The careful Leo also noticed from the image of the plane projected here by the black-robed wizard Reese that his condition seemed to be not very good. Judging from his movements, he appeared to be very flustered, as if he was running away from something and was injured.

After being unable to obtain more useful information from this image, Leo continued to walk towards the black sun. Finally, I found that the sky became darker, and the surrounding sulfur gas became more intense, the energy became chaotic, and the dust on the ground changed the insteps of the feet also decreased.

At this time, Leo suddenly saw a flame in front of him. This flame reminded him of a message he had obtained from the devil's head, so he quickly walked towards the flame, holding the flame that he had just made before. The two completed long-horned daggers are always ready to deal with possible attacks.

The fire source came from an incomplete building. The roof of this building has been destroyed, leaving only a few walls, but the strange thing is that the style of this building is completely different from other twisted buildings around. This building is more like a religious building in the world of Velen. The walls are all made of large rocks, and there are reliefs carved on the surface. The details can still be seen that these should have been some religious reliefs.

Leo originally planned to climb over the broken wall, but inexplicably felt a sense of danger on the way, thinking that doing so would cause bad things.

So, according to the normal method, he put his hand on the bronze door that he didn't know whether he could push it open, and exerted a little force.

These two bronze doors, which should have been very heavy, were extremely light. Leo pushed the door open with almost no effort, and stepped into the building.

It's just that the moment he stepped into the building, Leo suddenly felt that something was wrong with him just now, because according to the normal situation, the remaining walls and the bronze gate should be able to block the fire in the building, and it's impossible for people outside See the firelight here. But the fact is that he was sure from the beginning to the end that the fire was in this building, and he completely ignored the common sense that the wall blocked the line of sight. This situation is really weird.

However, after feeling a little confused, Leo put this matter aside temporarily, because the situation in front of him was what he needed to pay attention to.

I saw that the interior of this building was very empty. Judging from the remaining traces, it should have been a very magnificent church building at the beginning. There should have been a statue standing there on the front of the bronze gate, but now the statue has become a A pile of rubble, only the feet of the idol can keep the general shape.

In the center of the church, there is a huge golden container with a dark golden flame burning in it, and three old women dressed as nuns are sitting around the container.

What really attracted Leo's attention was the nun's clothes worn by the three old women. He knew this kind of nun's clothes. According to the understanding of the Catholic Church, only the Holy Mother of the Church is eligible to wear this costume.

But Leo remembered that ever since the first industrial reform in the world of Vilen appeared and the Church of the Lord of the Sky had been incorporated into the Orthodox Church, the Church of the Lord of the Sky had abolished the position of the Holy Maiden. Stored in the warehouse.

Now there are three old women dressed in the same costume as the holy maiden sitting in the strange world of the abandoned capital, sitting around a mysterious brazier, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

Leo tightened his grip on the long-horned dagger, and walked towards the three old women with their heads bowed.

Just when Leo was about to walk to the container, one of the old women suddenly raised her head, looked at Leo, and said, "Is anyone here again? It smells really weird. It's obviously a living person, but with a little The smell of the dead."

The other old woman also raised her head to look at Leo at this moment, and said, "Is he Ashes?"

The last old woman also raised her head, looked at Leo, and said with a slightly disappointed tone: "He is not Ashes."

I saw that the three old women in front of me looked exactly the same, their faces were also covered with wrinkles, and their eyes were all left with only eye sockets and no eyeballs. They looked like three ordinary blind old women.

However, at this moment, Leo didn't care about the appearance of the three people, but the language used by the three people. The language used by the three people was Gamore, but the pronunciation of the language they used was based on what he learned from the old man Rembrandt. Gamore pronunciation is slightly different. Although the difference is not very big, after speaking, it gives people a completely different feeling. In comparison, the Gamore language used by the three old women makes people feel very mysterious and noble, while the Gamore language that Leo learned by himself But it's like a common saying in the market, to distinguish between superiors and inferiors.

Although he was facing three old women who seemed to be unable to move, and there were no spiritual energy fluctuations on the three old women, let alone danger, Leo still did not put down the weapon in his hand, but after he stopped, he According to the etiquette of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, he saluted the three old women and said in the Gamore language he knew: "Traveler Leo, I have seen three elders."

"Priest!" Hearing Leo's words, the three old women all showed surprised expressions, and said in unison: "My lord's priest?"
