The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The topography of Velen Continent is high in the northeast and high in the southwest. The east is dominated by high mountains. Among the seven main mountain ranges on the continent, four are located in the eastern continent, two are located in the northern ice sheet, and only one of the Dibia Mountains is in the western continent.

If the sacrifice contract signed between Louis X and the mysterious existence of the Black Forest was true, as Su said, and the seven mountains of the Velen Continent were used as hunting grounds for monsters in the Black Forest, then the Eastern Continent ruled by Louis X The French Empire was the first to bear the brunt, but the Western Continent was much less affected.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help expressing his doubts.

It's just that Su didn't explain to Leo why Louis X signed such a human-god contract that harms himself and others, as he did when he explained in detail why these monsters appeared in the Dibia Mountains just now. topic, said: "Although the witchcraft you just performed is very good, but your fighting style is wrong. Here I have a note from the tower battle wizard. Although it is incomplete, it is very suitable for you to study. I believe If you master the most orthodox wizard fighting skills, your strength will improve a lot in a short period of time."

Although the topic was suddenly changed, Leo could feel that Su did this not because she didn't understand the situation, but because she was unwilling to speak out for other reasons. The reason might be some kind of concern, or it might be some interest.

Although he failed to learn more about the secrets of the Black Forest Contract from Su, Leo was not too disappointed. After all, he was just a passerby passing through the Dibia Mountains, but then Su mentioned the tower battle The wizard's notes caught his attention.

According to Leo's knowledge, battle wizards are definitely the unique type of wizards in the tower. In some ancient documents related to the tower, battle wizards are also mentioned the most. In almost all battles involving the tower, the battle wizard will always be An eye-catching one, and the only successful case of killing a god recorded in the ancient books of the Orthodox Church came from the battle wizard of the tower.

The gods mentioned in this case are not false gods who have not evolved to Omega-level advanced creatures like the Eye of Reality, but just rely on their own blood talent to obtain a certain kind of godhead and godfire, but real gods, just because of some reasons The names of the gods have been hidden from words and languages.

According to the laws of gods in the world of Velen, no matter whether a god is good or evil, as long as he can break through the life form, then he can enjoy several abilities that a god should have, such as omniscience, immortality, and so on.

Because of the effect of immortality, even if this god is brutally killed, he can still be resurrected in his own kingdom of God or other places where the seeds of life are left, but some power will be permanently lost.

But the battle wizard of the high tower was able to kill a god on the continent of Velen, even if the god had the seed of life, he could not be resurrected, and the kingdom of God where the god was located also disintegrated at the moment of the god's death. Swallowed by the Warp.

This incident was clearly recorded in the secret book of the Orthodox Church, and the Hearing Society also included this part of the content in its own internal publications, which made Leo understand how powerful the battle wizard is.

However, the information that allowed Leo to truly understand the battle wizard did not come from the Hearsay Society, but from the basic wizard notes that the expeditioner traded to him. The specific situation of the battle wizard was described in those wizard notebooks, and it was also pointed out that all kinds of wizards in the Silvermoon City Wizard Association in the dream world were also created based on the battle wizard. just disappeared.

Although the battle wizards ceased to exist long before the tower disappeared, some additions caused by the battle wizards are still well preserved, such as the most primitive method of manufacturing Ability God cells, such as the wizards now adopt categories and levels of witchcraft, and more.

For any non-research wizard, the battle wizard's notes, even if they are only incomplete, are very precious, no less than a powerful wizard wonder, like Leo's mastery of witchcraft is all self-taught In other words, the battle wizard's notes will undoubtedly help him understand the real wizard's fighting methods in a short period of time.

In fact, Leo has already noticed that there is a problem with his fighting style. It stands to reason that he is already a fourth-level psychic, and he has mastered so many psychic skills called witchcraft, but his fighting style still uses close combat. This is completely different from the fighting style of psykers in his impression.

It wasn't until he obtained the seal of the demon hunter of her world from Ciri that he found a combat method that could combine psionic skills and melee abilities. However, this fighting method is still not a wizard's fighting method, and the powerful witchcraft that he can display in his mind still haven't been able to play any role in the battle.

As long as the battle wizard's notebook that Su mentioned now mentions a little bit about the combat wizard's combat skills, or gives a combat example, it is enough for Leo to use this as a starting point to find out a suit of wizard's combat methods that suit him. .

The only question now is whether the battle wizard notebook in Su's hand is real or not.

Because of the battle wizard's killing of gods, the battle wizard is hostile to almost all churches. Whether it is the Orthodox Church or the cult organization, they regard the battle wizard as their mortal enemy, and the disappearance of the battle wizard may also be related to these churches.

When the tower fell, the Orthodox Church confiscated and destroyed all items related to the battle wizard on a large scale, especially focusing on the wizard notes of the battle wizard, and the cult organization was also secretly doing the same thing.

In this environment, it is almost difficult to preserve the battle wizard's notes. At least the Hearing Society has searched for many years through the strength of its own members, and has not been able to find even a piece of paper from the battle wizard's notes.

Perhaps it was because Leo didn't hide the doubtful expression on his face, Su could easily see his current thoughts from his face, which made Su feel both angry and funny. Once upon a time, the Witch Group Su would be suspected by others Deceiving people with fakes.

Faced with this situation, Su didn't explain much, and directly took out the incomplete notebook of the battle wizard, and threw it to Leo. She wasn't worried that Leo would refuse to accept the account after reading the battle notebook, because she was confident that no one would dare to take her account.

The moment he received the thrown wizard note in his hand, Leo was very sure that this broken wizard note must be real, because the shell of this note turned out to be a wizard wonder, and the spiritual power contained in it The energy fluctuations are beyond the perception range of a fourth-level psyker, which means that the psychic energy contained in it is at least above the sixth-level psychic power.

This is just the shell, and the remaining dozen or so pages of this notebook are also very unusual. Leo can feel the natural breath of the leaves of the mother of plants from above, that is to say, the raw materials for making this kind of pages are at least the same as those of plants. The leaves of the mother are of the same origin, and its preciousness is self-evident.

Although Leo had developed a strong curiosity about the content recorded in this notebook, his rationality still prevented him from turning the pages of the book impulsively. Instead, he turned to Su very calmly and asked, "What do I need to pay?" ?”

Facing Leo's calm inquiry, this time it was Su's turn to be surprised, and this surprise was clearly written on his face.

It has been many years since the wizard's notebook of the battle wizard fell into her hands. During these years, she used a similar method to trick people who were curious about this notebook more than once. Everyone can't wait to get the notebook. After reading the content, Leo was the only one who could restrain the desire to read, which made her more curious about Leo's identity.

Su couldn't help the strong curiosity in his heart, and very rarely asked actively: "Who are you?"

Leo's expression was indifferent, without a positive response, he said, "I'm just a passer-by, do you need to know my name?"

Hearing Leo's words, Su's expression became indifferent, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes. After all, this was the first time she asked someone's name in the past many years, but she got such an answer, which made her feel like she had never done before. I have been aggrieved.

Although Su wanted to teach the person in front of her who was quite rude to her, but her proud character made her unable to do such detrimental things, so in the end she just let out a cold snort and expressed her feelings. Dissatisfied, and then did not continue to ask Leo's identity, but said: "You just need to tell me how you communicated with the web weaver. I will give you this battle mage's notebook."

After hearing this, Leo threw back the battle mage notes in his hand to Su, and said, "I don't know how to communicate with the Web Weaver." As he spoke, before Su, who took the notes, questioned, he added: " It was the Weaver who took the initiative to communicate with me."

"The Web Weaver took the initiative to communicate with you?" Su looked at Leo dumbfounded as if he had heard something shocking.

In fact, in Su's opinion, what Leo said was truly shocking. Because as far as she knows, in the past countless times when the intelligent creatures of Velen Continent came into contact with the web weavers, no web weavers would take the initiative to contact any intelligent creatures. And the only way she knows to have a small amount of normal communication with the Web Weaver is to grasp the thing that the Web Weaver is most interested in, a soul, a strange soul that is different from ordinary souls.

This method did not originate from any illusory legends, nor did it originate from monuments written down by some mysterious existence, but from an accident. In that accident, she had just obtained a soul stone condensed from the twisted soul left after the sacrifice of an ancient evil god. That soul stone gave her the qualification to communicate with the web weaver, and through the exchange, she obtained the A spider's thread, and thus discovered the mystery of death contained in the weaver of the web.

Now Leo actually told her that the Web Weaver took the initiative to contact him, which made her wonder if there was a soul in Leo so peculiar that even the Web Weaver was alarmed.

Although, Su has some detection methods to detect whether Leo is carrying this peculiar soul, but doing so will definitely cause a lot of misunderstanding, and make the currently peaceful relationship tense and even hostile. This is not the result she wanted.

So, Su thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me why the Weaver of the Web contacted you?"

"He just made a deal with me, asking me to help them clean up the monsters and family members of the Black Forest encountered by the asylum seekers in Miria City." Leo didn't think there was anything to hide about making a deal with the Web Weaver Mysterious stuff, so tell the truth.

After hearing this, Su couldn't help asking curiously: "What can you gain from this transaction?"

"Friendship." Leo said a simple word, but felt the need to add something, and continued: "The friendship of the weaver."

When Su heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of envy, and the look he looked at Leo became extremely strange, as if looking at some incredible magical creature, which made Leo, the person involved, feel inexplicably uncomfortable. As a result, his brows furrowed slightly.

Fortunately, this line of sight didn't last long, Su returned to normal, and walked back and forth a few times as if thinking about something, then suddenly stood still, and asked Leo with a serious tone: "You You just said that the Weaver of the Web just asked you to clean up the ancient beasts and family members of the Black Forest around you, right?"

"Ancient beast?" Hearing a new word in Gamore language, Leo was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Su Shuo was referring to those monsters of the Black Forest in Mogandi, so he nodded.

"They didn't ask you to protect those fleeing?" Su asked again with obvious direction.

"No." Leo also got some hints from Su's words, combined with seeing the web weavers harvesting the souls of the avalanche victims and the threads connected to those refugees, some thoughts came to mind.

After getting the answer she wanted, Su's face was stunned, and at the same time, he smiled, and said to himself: "No wonder it left the Black Forest, it turned out to be for the soul." He planned to explain to Leo in detail, but threw the battle wizard notebook in his hand again, and said, "You need to help me kill someone on the way to cross the Dibia Mountains. This notebook is yours."

Leo took the battle wizard's note again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have promised the Web Weaver to clean up the monsters and family members around this fleeing team, and it is impossible to leave with you..."

Su explained: "Don't worry, you don't need to leave, that person will appear near this fleeing team by himself, and he is also one of the family members you want to deal with, so he will not violate your agreement."

"In that case, I agree." Leo didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement with Su's proposal.

After hearing this, Su also had no intention of discussing the details of the action with Leo, and retreated into the darkness of the forest, disappearing without a trace in front of Leo.

After Su disappeared, Leo resisted the urge to look through this notebook, put it in the storage space, and then continued with the previous plan, patrolling around the refugee camp, and picked up some Black Forest monsters that slipped through the net. After finishing with the family and confirming that there was no danger, they returned to the open space not far from the camp, set up a bonfire, sat by the fire, and carefully looked at the battle wizard notes in their hands.
