The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After walking out of the dense fog that enveloped the village, Leo felt an invisible pressure in his heart is rapidly subsiding. At this time, he could clearly feel how chaotic the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the dense fog were, and even these chaotic spiritual energy It can also affect the shape of the dense fog, so that screaming and painful faces continuously appear in the dense fog, as if countless souls were trapped by the dense fog.

If it was in the past, Leo saw the changing scene of the dense fog, which would inevitably affect the daily value of will, and it may be necessary to activate the mechanical will to eliminate the impact. But now, although he is still shocked by the chaos of this psychic energy, his spiritual will has not been affected, just like watching a wonderful stage performance.

Leo is sure that the idols worshiped by the villagers must hide many secrets, and may even involve the mystery of the departure of the gods. His strong curiosity is also very interested in these secrets of the world, but as his willpower is strong enough to approach Omega As a super advanced creature, his self-control ability has also increased accordingly, and he can already control the strong curiosity that could not be suppressed before. He did not return to the dense fog because of curiosity, but stayed away from the village without looking back.

It's just that after Leo left the village, he didn't head towards Miria City, but set his target at the place banned by the Eye of Reality.

The appearance of the Son of Nature, the return of the belief in the mother of all hives, and so on all made Leo think of the reappearance of the gods. Compared with those disappearing gods who are hard to find, there are some gods in the outskirts of Miria City. A real god. Even though this deity is a bit misnamed, and his soul has been sacrificed by Leo, leaving only a sealed empty shell, but he was once a member of the gods who were worshiped in the past after all, and his belief is still alive. The dream world exists.

If something like the return of the gods really happened, then there would definitely be some unusual reactions in the Eye of Reality. Maybe Leo could get some clues from the changes there.

Although the location is also the hunting ground in the outskirts of Miria City, Leo's current location is close to the southeast area, not very far from the Black Forest, and the place where the Eye of Reality banned is located in the southwest area. After a whole night, it was not until dawn that they arrived near the hunting ground where the Eye of Reality was banned.

"How could this be?" Standing on the top of a hill, Leo looked at the place where the Eye of Reality was banned, but the sight there surprised him.

I saw that there should be a piece of woodland and lawn, but now it has become a lake, and some excavation traces can be clearly seen in many places on the shore of the lake. In the army, there are some staff who look like scholars, and these staff have not used some diving equipment to dive into the bottom of the lake, and salvaged some fragments of items from the bottom of the lake.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Leo immediately thought that the stone ball containing the three-dimensional root that banned the Eye of Reality had been dug away, and the hole left by the excavation was not filled, and it was filled with abundant rainwater and groundwater. , turned into a lake. And judging from the current situation, the people who poached the Eye of Reality did not come from the Faran Empire. Now these people from the Faran Empire probably want to see if there are still some valuable things that have not been poached.

At the same time as the idea emerged, several people or organizations that might be diggers appeared in Leo's mind. The tower still exists.

However, after a calm analysis, Leo still removed several improbable guesses and added a new guess. In the end, only the Society of Hearings, the Orthodox Court and the mysterious tower remained.

Any organization in the dark world in Velen can dig out the stone ball that banned the Eye of Reality from the bottom, but if they want to dig it out and carry it away silently, not every dark world organization can do it. The world organization can do it. It is impossible for dark world organizations such as the black market, family members, and wizards' assembly to dig out in a big way. Although the Night Watch organization can stand on the bright side, its organizational ability is slightly weaker.

As for the other capable dark world organizations, the towers that existed were first removed from the list by Leo, and after careful consideration by the Orthodox Church, they were also removed by him, because with the religious atmosphere of the Velen Continent, Neither the French Empire nor the current United Kingdom of France will allow any religious organization to organize manpower on its own land to excavate ancient ruins on a large scale.

So in the end, Leo felt that the people who dug out the truth probably came from the powerful Hearsay Society.

Although Leo had heard a lot about the Odd Society from the old man Rembrandt, he still felt that the Odd Society was mysterious and its power was unfathomable. Because even the old man Rembrandt, who is famous, wealthy and powerful in the entire Velen world, is only a member of the Anecdote Society, so the background of other Anecdote Society members may not be weaker than Rembrandt Old man Lang.

According to the strong curiosity and research interest of the Anecdote Society for the knowledge of ancient gods, after they knew that there was a real ancient god body buried somewhere, and this ancient god body was not in danger, how could they bear it? The search for mystical knowledge in the heart.

After guessing the cause of the scene in front of him, Leo did not make a conclusion, but decided to sneak into the camp of the Faran Empire to see if he could find any useful clues.

It's just that it's daytime, and it's not suitable for sneaking, so he found a relatively suitable place to rest on the hill, drew a few simple dream world wizard runes on the surrounding ground, and then Inject spiritual energy to activate it, create a temporary magic area that can drive away reptiles and beasts, find a place to sleep at random, and wait for the night to come.

Time passed quickly, and while Leo was asleep, night came quietly, and the temporary magic area he created had dissipated before dark, but the remaining psychic energy fluctuations could still have some impact, preventing beasts from approaching.

Leo woke up under the control of his self-regulating biological clock. After a day's rest, his body and spirit were well relaxed.

Ever since he entered the dream world, Leo hadn't had a good rest. He was either busy collecting a lot of information every day, or learning all kinds of mysticism in the dream world. He didn't take a full rest until today. Although this kind of rest will not significantly improve his overall state, it will help his mental state a lot. At least now he feels that he is much more awake than before the rest, and his mood has become much more relaxed. .

Among the camps around the lake, Leo chose a camp with the most researchers and the strictest guards. After identifying the direction, he got into the woods and quickly approached the camp.

The army of the French Empire guarded the camp selected by Leo very tightly. Not only did they erect a temporary wall around the camp, but also for the safety of the camp, they cut down all the trees around 20 meters away, and every A brazier was set up in the distance, so that the guards on the wall could observe the surrounding movement and prevent anyone from sneaking in.

If it was before, no matter how good Leo was at infiltrating tactics, he would not be able to pass through this defensive area directly, because the people who arranged the camp obviously knew the infiltrators very well, and they were prepared everywhere. , I am afraid that his whereabouts have been exposed by the surrounding fire.

However, Leo has now mastered a lot of witchcraft. Although it is a bit troublesome to perform, the effect is very good.

I saw that he came to the woods at the outermost edge of the camp's security area, looked through the dense bushes, scanned the wall, and found several loopholes. Then, I saw him holding a small bird he had just caught on the road in his hand, sticking his forehead to the bird's body, chanting mantras in Gamore language, and at the same time using the power of nightmare to imitate the spell cast by witchcraft process.

Soon Leo's body emitted a burst of black light, followed by the whole person quickly blurred, and the black light attached to the feathers of the bird in his hand, and the bird immediately flapped its wings when Leo disappeared Starting from the loopholes in the air, they passed through the tightly guarded area of ​​the camp and easily entered the camp.

The sorcerer Leo cast is called the spirit possession technique, which is a high-level witchcraft. After it is cast, it can make the body enter a state similar to subspace virtual particles, which can be attached to the body hair of any creature, and through The mind controls the movements and behavior of living beings.

This kind of high-level witchcraft that has already involved the subspace is not something that a fourth-level psychic like Leo can perform, but the nightmare power possessed by Leo can imitate the process of casting this kind of witchcraft, and it can naturally imitate The only flaw in the final effect of this witchcraft is that it consumes too much nightmare power.

After flying over the security zone and entering the interior of the camp, the security of the soldiers has also decreased a lot. It seems that the researchers who are in charge of the camp do not like to do things under the supervision of the soldiers, so there are no soldiers around the barracks where various research items are stored. on guard.

Leo controlled the little bird and soon came to the largest barracks, stood on a small window opened on the canvas, and watched the situation inside the barracks.

I saw that the barracks with the largest coverage area seemed to be a sorting place. All the items salvaged from the bottom of the lake during the day would be transported here. Many scholars who studied ancient knowledge sorted out these fragments by category and put them in different categories according to their value. Then their students will send the boxes to different barracks and hand them over to specialized scholars for further research.

The knowledge of these scholars is only aimed at ancient cultural relics. They judge which era and category the fragments in their hands belong to according to the patterns on the fragments of the salvaged objects with the characteristics of the times. But they didn't understand that many of the fragments sorted out by them should be classified into the same category.

When Leo saw these fragments of items with star psychic energy fluctuations, he couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have made a mistake before.

That day, his mental network only detected the stone ball containing the three-dimensional root, and he was shocked by the mysterious power contained in it. After that, he diverted his attention because of the appearance of the soul incarnation of the eye of truth, and did not go any further. Exploration of the area around the Orb of the Eye of Truth is banned.

Now seeing these fragments of items with psychic fluctuations, Leo thought that the wizard or other powerful existence who banned the Eye of Reality back then should not be able to just bury a stone ball underneath. other items or buildings.

Just judging from the leftovers salvaged from the lake by the scholars of the French Empire and left by others, the mysteries and wealth contained in the objects around the stone ball are incalculable. It's no wonder that the French Empire would send heavy troops and a large number of scholars to this place, which can be regarded as the front line, to dig out the ruins at the bottom of the lake when the war did not subside.

"This thing is misplaced. It is a relic of the Second Dynasty. The words on it are the oracle language used by the priests of the ancient gods, which is very different from the ordinary Gamore language." At this time, the thin old man walked away. Arriving in front of one of the sorting boxes, I rummaged through the box and picked out more than a dozen pieces of metal fragments with spiritual energy fluctuations. Then I pointed to the words on the fragments and said to one of the scholars.

Leo also noticed the old man for the first time, and his eyes stayed on the fragments in the old man's hand for a while, and then watched the old man pick out some fragments containing spiritual energy fluctuations from other boxes, and finally the old man held a few fragments. When the box left, it flew into the air and followed.

The reason why Leo was interested in this old man was because the metal fragments jumped out by the old man contained some Gamore language roots that he didn't know, and he also found that these roots were related to the skull of the son of the swamp. The roots are somewhat similar to those seen above.

In addition, the old man's words mentioned that the roots on these metal fragments were the words of the priests of the ancient gods, which was somewhat related to the identity of the Swamp Son's servant group, which made him doubt the words on the skull of the Swamp Son. Could it be the words of the ancient gods?

In Rembrandt's old man, Leo had also read some books about ancient religions. In those books, it was also mentioned that priests of ancient religions at that time had special languages ​​for communicating with gods.

However, because this language is exclusively used by priests, with the disappearance of the gods, the priestly language lost its proper role and became a ritual thing. With the subsequent religious reform and the establishment of the Orthodox Church, this The priestly languages ​​dedicated to the old gods were also abolished in the Reformation and faded away over time, like other ancient languages.

Compared with Gamore, this language specially used for religious ceremonies is less known, and the same is true for old Rembrandt, but now this thin-looking old man understands this rare language, which makes Lei Ou couldn't help thinking of a person mentioned by the old man Rembrandt.
