The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't deliberately ask Sylvia about the people he knew and his friends, but Sylvia said a little while preparing the luggage.

For example, Dr. Nelson and Jason have accepted the original deal. Nelson has become a member of the Parliament of Port Sette by virtue of his family background and the reputation of practicing medicine in the past few years, and married Catherine Nightingale. married.

Jason is also married, married to a proprietress of a tavern in the dock area. He is in charge of the warehouse in the dock area. He has become the head of the dock porters union, and he is also considered a small powerful figure in Dorset Port.

With the support of Nelson and Jason, Catherine opened a nursing school and a member of the common people, specializing in teaching women a variety of nursing knowledge and providing medical services for poor civilians, because often at night, carrying a lantern, patrolling the ward, and taking care of The patient, no one called her by her name gradually, and instead called her Lady with the Lamp.

After No. 9 Golden Oak Street was burned down, Rembrandt left the city of Miria and went to the southern continent of Mozambique. In the next two years, he discovered and excavated the legendary ancient city of Rumbert, which proved that Asia Describe the existence of ancient civilizations recorded in the ancient scrolls, and also rewrite the origin of human beings, so it is respected as a master by the whole world, and its reputation is unparalleled for a while.

In addition to these four people who can be regarded as friends, Sylvia also mentioned Emily who has a "blood relationship" with Leo, but she didn't say much, just saying that Emily is now in the Witch The group accepts the training of other witches.

Although Emily's personality has changed, the idea of ​​revenge for her family has not disappeared. Now that the murderer of the murder case appeared in Miria City again, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity to find the murderer. It's just that the witch training she is currently receiving is at a critical moment and she can't get away, so she asks Sylvia for help and asks Sylvia's subordinates to help her investigate the murderer secretly.

However, judging from the current situation, Sylvia's subordinates should have investigated something related to the murderer. Unfortunately, the murderer noticed it and became the murderer's sacrifice instead.

The situation was different from when he saw the murder scene back then. Leo didn't need to rush to treat anyone, so he could carefully search every detail of the murder case through the spirit network, which also made him discover that he had been accidentally killed before. Some of the content neglected in the book also seems to have discovered the real situation of this murder case.

In the past, Leo believed that the murderer who committed such a murder was either a believer of evil gods or some evil wizard, but now he checked the scene again, and judging from some clues he found, the identity of the murderer was far from what he had previously thought. As simple as thought, this murderer is likely to be a kind of existence called a god-climber.

Leo's understanding of God-climbers did not come from the books in the world of Velen, but from the information about the abandoned capital in the dream world.

In the dream world's exploration of the abandoned capital, the royal city has always been the center of exploration. Whether it is the large library that Leo has been to, or the Ash Plain where the most people have entered the dream world, in the eyes of the people in the dream world, they are all the same. Wangcheng as the center.

The reason why people in the dream world think so is because other areas of the abandoned capital are all superimposed from the fragments of different destroyed worlds, where you can see the remnants of those destroyed worlds, only the royal city There is only one building, a city building built around towering trees.

Because Leo has never been to the royal city, he doesn't know the specific image of the royal city, but through the content written in the information, he knows that except for the topmost place, Anor Londe, which is known as the residence of the gods, the branches, trunks, and bottoms of the trees There are even different cities in the depths of the tree roots, and the god-climbers are the only mysterious beings with clear minds and wise thoughts in the blasphemous abyss of the tree roots.

No one can tell what a god-climber is, and there are different opinions on the information. Some people think that they are some dirty souls who try to become gods, and some people think that they are some fallen gods who have lost the glory of gods. In addition, his appearance is the same as his existence, and there is no fixed answer. Everyone who sees the gods will describe a different appearance, sometimes it is a gust of wind, sometimes it is a leaf, and sometimes it is the reflection in the mirror etc.

Although the ascension of the gods is a mystery as a whole, there is one thing that everyone who has seen the ascension of the gods agrees with, that is, the purpose of the existence of the ascension of the gods is to become a god.

There are many ways for a god-climber to become a god recorded in the data, but all of them are only effective for the god-climber. As for other people using this method, they will only become lunatics who have lost any reason. Among the recorded methods, the most common and the most detailed method is to create fear. God ascenders can gain some kind of power from fear, and then promote the evolution of bloodlines and become new gods.

The reason why this method can be recorded in detail in the materials of the dream world is because the former first chief captured a god-climber when he entered the abyss of blasphemy in the king's city, and brought him back to the dream world through a certain method. torture it.

In the end, before the god-climber died in the backlash of the dream world, he obtained a lot of information about the royal city, the abyss of blasphemy, and the magical species of the god-climber.

It is also because of this that Leo, who had read these materials, was able to discover some special runes used by the God-climbers to transform the power of fear in the murder scene just now.

What puzzled Leo was that these runes had been tested by the wizards in the dream world, but it was useless. He had also tried one or two of them and got the same result, but he was able to get the same results from these runes just now. He felt some weak psionic energy fluctuations on his body, obviously these runes had an effect.

This situation made Leo think that the three different worlds of Velen World, Dreamland World and Abandoned City may have different effects due to different environments, and the same rune, root and magic circle will produce different effects.

The new discovery made Leo temporarily put aside the issue of the ring of plague, and re-investigate after the discovery was confirmed.

Leo quickly left the Yushi District and walked towards the nearest ruined city in the Yushi District. There are many ruins in Miria City, and some places are not suitable for living because they are difficult to clean up, so there are no refugees to set up tents and rudimentary buildings there. Housing, the bow area is such an urban area.

The Chuantou District did not use this name at first, but after several expansions, the shape of the entire city gradually became the same as the Chuantou, so it got this strange name.

The first people who lived here were stonemasons and their families who were in charge of building the city, but later the area around the bow area became part of the administrative area of ​​Miria City, and the residents in the bow area gradually changed into Miria City civil servants.

When the airships of the French Empire bombed the entire city, in order to paralyze the basic administrative functions of the city in a short period of time, the office buildings of various departments in the administrative area and the civil servant city area were important targets, so the bow area was the first round of bombing by the airship It has become ruins.

Because the war was too sudden and the war was too fierce, all the residents in the bow area died here at that time. You must know that there were as many as 200,000 people living here at that time, and most of the relatives, friends and family members of the deceased died in the subsequent rounds of bombing, and the living people were thinking about survival every day, without any clearing of the ruins. The mood and time to collect the corpses of the dead, so the bow area became one of the ruins tombs with the largest area in Miria City.

When scavengers first formed, some people wanted to find some valuable things in the ruins of the nearby Chuantou area. After all, the people who lived here in the past were the family members of civil servants in the city, and their assets were not Fee, should be able to find some good stuff.

But a series of strange events happened afterwards, making this city a taboo-like boundary. For example, people who enter here will have hallucinations. In the hallucination, the bow area is still intact, and the dead people are still there. It's just that when the hallucination is over, the person will be cursed and his body will gradually weaken and eventually die.

In addition, the weirdest thing that happened was that a group of scavengers with as many as 300 people did not believe in evil and entered the bow area, preparing to clean up the ruins and look for valuable things. Although they didn't believe the rumors about ghosts and curses, they didn't dare to enter the ruins full of dead bodies at night, so they chose to enter during the day. But not long after they entered, under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone suddenly went crazy and attacked each other until the last person fell in a pool of blood, and no one left the bow area.

It is precisely because of these weird things that this place has become a restricted area. No one dares to approach here, let alone enter here at night.

Of course, the danger in the bow area is only for ordinary people. For people living in the dark world, the bow area has become a very good living area. For unknown reasons, some places in this urban area produce a natural spiritual magnetic field. For people with spiritual power, staying in this environment for a long time can be beneficial to the growth of their spiritual power .

It's just that this kind of environment doesn't help people like Leo and Blood Wizard who have reached a high level of psionic energy.

The reason why Leo came to the ruins of the bow area was that apart from the fact that there were no people there, the main reason was that this special psionic magnetic field could help him experiment with some Turing radicals and magic runes more easily. Wait for power.

It's just that Leo's arrival will inevitably startle some dark world people who have been entrenched here for a long time and have already made this place their own.

At the moment he entered the ruins just now, seven or eight eyes fell on him, and they followed him all the way. A few of these eyes were just scrutinizing eyes, and the other eyes They were all full of malice, apparently taking Leo as prey.

Because Leo has restrained all the strength in his body, from the appearance point of view, he is just an ordinary person with a strong body, and his attire is the standard attire of scavengers, so at first glance, he will be regarded as a bold lone walker Scavengers.

As time goes by, the scavengers gradually report into groups, occupying areas of ruins, and the overall power is also very impressive. Some can even compete with well-equipped gangs, so that those lone travelers who do not want to join the scavengers group become It is becoming more and more difficult to survive, so many solo travelers set their sights on several restricted areas in the city.

The ruins with a lot of good things like the bow area are naturally the first choice for these solo travelers. Some of them are lucky, not breaking into those special psionic magnetic field areas, not being affected, and returning from the ruins with a full load. But more lone travelers never came out after entering the ruins. These people either died in those special areas, or were killed by the dark world people living in the special areas, so when Leo entered When we were in this city, all the watchers thought was that there was another lone traveler who didn't know what to do.

While these monitors were observing Leo, Leo was also checking these monitors through the spiritual net.

Among these monitors, the two monitors who just had scrutiny eyes and did not show any malice had faint spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies, and from the clothes on their bodies and some iconic items, it can be judged that the two People should be from the Night Watch organization.

Therefore, these two monitors have been regarded as guide stones by Leo, and he has cast a mana imprint magic, leaving a mark on them through the spiritual net. After testing those magic runes, he will pass these two They found the secret place of the night watchman in the city of Miria, and then through the night watchman organization, found Ljungberg of the Freedom Front, and pulled Ljungberg into the search for the ring of plague.

After all, Ljungberg Viai, who already regarded the city of Miria as his territory, was absolutely unwilling to see the Ring of Plague being used in this ruined city, so in Leo's view, the job of persuasion should not be difficult.

In addition, the malice leaked from the eyes of those monitors is so obvious that it can be felt without too much attention. Leo naturally has no intention of letting them go, but he is not going to kill them directly, because he still It is necessary to know some useful information from these monitors, such as the current situation of the underground church in Miria City.

Although there has not been any communication, Leo and the blood wizard have the same idea that the ring of plague is the best missionary artifact, and judging from the current situation in Miria City, those shady underground churches should be the most hopeful. The power of the Plague Ring.

The underground churches Leo is talking about here are not the ancient churches of gods that occupy a certain urban area, such as Maya the Mother of Birth and Mobison the Observer, but those churches of evil gods that are regarded as evil gods by the Orthodox Church.

Although these churches of evil gods could not preach in public like those churches of ancient gods, because of the poor environment and despair in Miria City, their churches were able to spread smoothly among the huge refugee population in the city.

At this moment, the vicious monitors behind Leo came from two very famous churches of evil gods in the local area. They were the Snake Mother Church and Leo's old acquaintance, the Church of True Words.
