The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo has seen many psychic creatures. The strength of these psychic creatures is uneven. The weakest of them is not much better than ordinary beasts, and the strongest among them is like the white deer in the black forest. Like a god.

The crow that appeared in the room now is definitely a psionic creature with extremely high intelligence and strength in Leo's eyes. Among all the psionic creatures he has seen, only the black forest white deer can beat it. it.

If it was just a powerful psychic creature, it would not be enough to surprise Leo. What really surprised him was that the body of this psychic creature had traces of witchcraft transformation.

The crow's feet and beak showed jewel-like branches, its feathers looked more like metal, and its eyes were completely ruby.

Leo once saw the introduction of this kind of psionic creature transformation in the notes of the wilderness wizard, and the introduction was very detailed, so he could recognize the origin of this transformation at a glance, and the wilderness wizard also mentioned in the notes It is understood that the transformation technique he created for ordinary people is based on the transformation technique of this kind of spiritual creature, and this transformation technique can be said to be the unique technology of the tower.

"My lord, why are you here?" Brown showed great respect to the crow.

Aisha, who had never encountered such a situation before, stared blankly at the two, her eyes repeatedly moving back and forth between the crow and Brown. For her, it was already very strange for a crow to be able to talk, but now a normal person saluted a crow respectfully, like a subordinate. Very surprised.

However, Leo on the side had a look that should be taken for granted. After all, in his opinion, even when facing the crow with the strength of at least level 5 psyker, he still had to maintain the respect he deserved.

"If I don't come, your mission will fail, and if you fail again, you will lose your position." The relationship between the crow and Brown seems to be very good, and the crow fluttered its wings and landed on Brown's shoulder, and then seemed An elder slapped Brown on the back of the head with his wings as if caring for his children, then turned his head to look at Aisha with a strange look on his face, and said, "However, the failure of your mission is just a small trouble, and the organization lost a pure god. Families are the big trouble."

"Sorry to disappoint you." Brown bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Forget it, it's not the first time anyway, and I believe it won't be the last time." The crow complained to Brown in a timely manner, then turned to look at Leo, and said, "Leo Dodd, I listen to Lumber Lang and Sylvia mentioned you, but they used nostalgic tone and mood at that time, after all, no one would have thought that you would still be able to come out from there."

"Excuse me, is your Excellency..." Leo felt that the crow was very familiar with him, so he couldn't help but wonder about its identity.

"I have stayed in many places and organizations, but those are all in the past. I don't want to mention it. Now I am an elder of the Holy Blood Society. You can call me Mr. Crow." On Ou's shoulder, he put his head on Leo's body and sniffed, and said: "You have a lot of interesting smells on you, I have never seen these smells concentrated on one person, you really look like Sylvia That little girl is an interesting guy as she said." After speaking, it suddenly paused and said, "You should have seen that horned guy recently, right?"

Although the crow spoke very vaguely, Leo could understand that what Duofang was talking about should be the white deer, so he nodded and said, "I saw it in the Dibia Mountains."

"You're lucky, you didn't get killed by it. You know it hates humans the most." The crow muttered, then stepped on Leo's head and shoulders recklessly, jumped to the other side of the shoulder, and said to Aisha : "We have plans for you, but it is not without benefits for you to join us, at least your safety is guaranteed, and we can also teach you how to control your strength and blood."

"I..." Aisha couldn't make a decision for a while, and could only look at Leo, as if hoping to get some useful advice from him.

But before Leo opened his mouth, the crow said first: "You don't have to rush to make a decision, you can think about it slowly, as long as you have a decision, just take the potted flower on the balcony back into the house, and we will naturally send someone Take you to the headquarters."

After speaking, the crow flew back to Brown, indicating that he could leave. But when Brown walked to the balcony, it suddenly made Brown stop again, and turned to Leo and said, "Little guy, if you are interested in your blood, you can come to our headquarters together, believe me It will help you."

Hearing what the crow said, Leo, who had always looked calm, showed great interest on his face, and his fingers on the armrest of the sofa also tapped rhythmically with his thoughts.

Leo didn't think that the crow's words were just to stabilize himself and not get involved in Aisha's affairs, and lied. He felt that the crow must know something about his unknown blood.

As for the origin of the crow, Leo also had some guesses. When the crow landed on his shoulder just now, the faint mysterious aura on the crow was very similar to the battle wizard notebook that Leo had obtained. It turns out that the two should be made in the same place, so he guessed that the crow probably came from the tower.

"Mr. Dodd, how do you think I should choose?" Aisha pondered for a moment, then asked Leo hesitantly.

"This needs to be decided by yourself, after all, it is a decision related to you." Leo did not give a positive suggestion, but said tactfully: "From the point of view just now, the Holy Blood Society does have some influence on the blood of the Son of Rock in your body." I just don’t know the reason, but they should attach great importance to your status as a family member of the gods, so even if you join in, you should not suffer any harm, and you may be better protected.”

"Is it protection or imprisonment?" Aisha's spirit has been freed from the influence of Leo's seal, and her own wisdom and thinking ability will naturally return to normal, and there will naturally be more things to think about.

"If they want to imprison you, they won't talk so much nonsense to you, just send someone to catch you." Leo shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this is in Venaya Port. Where their base camp is, even if you have a strong force, it is impossible to leave safely under the siege, not to mention that you don't need others to besiege, even if Brown just sold it, do you think you can resist?"

"You mean to suggest that I join the Holy Blood?" Aisha said after a moment of silence.

"I just know that people without power have no rights." Leo said tactfully, "The Holy Blood Society has a method that allows you to master power. Whether you want to join or not is up to you to decide." After finishing speaking, he walked to the door , opened the door and said: "If there is nothing else, you can leave."

Aisha still wants to stay with Leo in her heart. After all, Leo opened the door to a new world for her, allowing her to see things that she had never seen before, and also made her find that she still has a feeling for this world. Unfamiliar, an instinctive reaction to seek safety made her regard Leo as a shelter who could provide safety, and she would be more or less psychologically dependent.

"Can I stay here?" Aisha asked with mixed emotions.

Leo was silent for a while, closed the door, and said, "I'll be in the study, call me if you need anything."

After speaking, he entered the study room, leaving Aisha standing there in a daze.

Leo's decision made Aisha a little dumbfounded. The reason why she wanted to stay was not only that Leo gave her a sense of security, but also that she wanted to know more about the dark world from Leo. Now Leo went to The study failed her original plan.

Although she can also chase into the study, her strong self-esteem does not allow her to do so. After all, asking to stay in this room is already the bottom line of her dignity, and it is she who does not want to make excessive demands on Leo. Allowed. So, she ended up staying in the living room until the next day, only going back to her room halfway, bringing some research manuscripts from the room, and continuing her original research project.

The movement outside the study room has always been under Leo's grasp. He did not continue his previous study of the small language, but sat at the desk and carefully searched for all relevant content about the family of the gods in the data in his brain, especially Information about the family of the King of the Hill.

Although the crow didn't reveal any reason why the Holy Blood would value the family of the gods just now, Leo could feel that the importance of the family of the gods might be related to the rise and fall of the Holy Blood Society.

Now Leo is very sure that the Holy Blood has many powerful secret supporters. Let alone Rupert Fitz alone, it is enough for any underground organization to expand its influence to the entire Velen Continent, and even other mainland.

But the current situation is that the Holy Blood has so many powerful supporters, but they can only defend the port city of Venaya Port, and their influence may only be within this direction. This is obviously different from those secret supporters. He was extremely dissatisfied with his power, so he guessed that the Holy Blood Society must lack some opportunities for expansion, and now it seems that this opportunity should be in the gods' family.

However, Leo thinks that not every kind of god family is important to the Holy Blood Society, because almost most of the family members can be called god family members. They are all mutated after being corroded by divine power. If the blood society only needs the family members of the gods in a broad sense, these family members can also be used, and there is no need to specifically target Aisha, the son of the rock.

Therefore, Aisha, the god family, must have some characteristics that are different from other family members. This is what the Holy Blood will value. There are only two family traits that Leo can think of, and one is the mountain that bestows the blood of the Son of Rock. The king of Qiu is one of the few gods in the world of Velen who can still manifest the holy spirit, and the second is that the son of the rock is the family of the gods who betrayed his enshrined gods. That is to say, the blood of the son of the rock is a cursed blood of traitors.

"Cursed?" Leo thought of an anomaly that hadn't been discovered before.

In the literature, after the son of the rock betrayed the hill king, he was wiped out by the church of the hill king, and the hill king personally cast a curse on this bloodline. But the problem is that he didn't feel any fluctuations of curse power on Aisha just now.

The power of the curse is very mysterious, even a tower wizard may not be able to fully grasp this power, and because of Leo's personality and has always been accustomed to charge and kill the enemy directly, so the witchcraft he studies is also based on combat. Lord, there is little to no witchcraft research on curses.

However, he is very clear that curse witchcraft is very mysterious and can kill people without anyone noticing, so he also understands and masters some methods of detecting curse witchcraft and defending against curse power, and just now beside Aisha , the psionic energy on his body to defend against curses and witchcraft was not activated.

"Interesting!" Leo quickly found a lot of information about the family of the gods in the web weaver's knowledge, and there are three different names for the family of the gods in these materials, although these names are translated according to modern languages ​​such as French , can be called the family of the gods, but according to the interpretation of the ancient Gamore language, the meanings of the three words with the same translation content are completely different, and the three words are used for different family members, and there are distinctions between high and low.

Among them, a vocabulary of the family of the gods is used to refer to the mortal group that is favored by the gods. The correct translation of this vocabulary should be the family of the gods.

Another word with the same meaning is used for those family members who have lost the favor of the gods. The reason for losing the favor of the gods may be that the gods no longer pay attention to them, or the gods have disappeared.

As for the third meaning of the family of the gods, it is used to refer to the family whose blood has begun to deify, and the situation of this family can be good or bad. For example, the son of the swamp whose body has completely dehumanized should be bad. The good one, and the good one should refer to the situation of Aisha, because in the knowledge materials of the web weavers, this word is used to refer to the son of the rock.

What is special about the deified family members is not mentioned in the knowledge of the web weavers. Instead, an interesting situation was mentioned in a book on ancestralization research in the dream world.

There is a kind of person who is completely ancestralized and retains the sanity of ordinary people. They have some kind of mysterious power, which can affect other people around them, and make other people who are not ancestralized appear ancestralized in different degrees.

After finding this piece of information, Leo couldn't help thinking, if it is inferred from the fact that the ancestral state is the deification of the blood of the family, then Aisha's special feature may be that it can influence other hidden family members and make the blood of these family members appear alienation.

From this point of view, Aisha's role in the Holy Blood is indeed very important, which is related to the number of the family.

However, Leo still feels a little wrong. He feels that the Holy Blood will pay attention to Aisha not only because of the influence of the deified family on other families, but there may be other unknown reasons.
