The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As questions in his brain kept popping up like beer foam, Leo found that he seemed to be stuck in a dilemma created by curiosity, which pushed him to explore one mystery after another. The more doubts you have in your mind, the more you feel ignorant.

Full of doubts, Leo reassembled the useless recorder as it was, put it back in its original place, and continued to search for useful information in the bookcase next to it.

Compared with the books downstairs that are useless for understanding the island, the bookcases on this floor store some useful things for Leo, such as nautical charts, species manuals, and so on. There is also an ancient Gamore language book called the Book of Guha. Although Leo has not read the content of this book, he has already seen the relief of the black giant city from the relief pattern on the cover, but Yamashita The white giant city is not on the pattern.

Leo did not immediately open the book of Guha, which may be related to the giant city in front of him, but first picked up the stack of sea charts and looked through them. Judging from the age of the sea charts, these sea charts It was painted in different periods, and the content of the painting is the situation of the sea area around the island. It seems that it should have come from the hands of people who tried to leave here before.

Through these precise or scribbled sea charts, Leo has a general understanding of the sea area around the island.

This island is marked as Yam in all the charts, and Yam is not the only island in this sea area. From the few most complete charts, Leo found that there are two other islands around Yam Island. It is a small island about the same size as Yam Island, marked by gardens and hunting grounds respectively.

It is very difficult to reach the other two small islands from Yam Island, because there are a lot of chaotic currents, hurricanes and sea monsters marked on these charts, and the most weird thing is that the danger zone markings on all charts are different.

These charts all have traces of being soaked in sea water, so it is speculated that the people who finally drew these charts may all be buried at the bottom of the sea. As for the charts, they only need to be stuffed into drifting bottles, and they can be like other sunken ships. Float along the ocean current to Yam Island.

Although these charts provide a lot of information on the surrounding sea areas, if Leo really wants to go to sea, these charts will not bring him any useful help, because the marked dangers and disasters appear randomly, and he does not know how to deal with them. It may be predicted in advance, and it can only be passively endured like other ordinary ships.

However, even if it was of no great use, Leo still collected all the information on the sea chart, which at least let him know that if he goes out to sea, he will face those disasters. As long as he prepares in advance according to the disaster method, he should Just be able to survive.

After putting down the useless chart, Leo picked up the species manual on the next shelf.

There is not only one species manual, but more than a dozen. The entire set of books is made of animal skin paper. At the beginning, it is basically a manuscript, and the latter is printed.

Each of these manuals is written in a different language and notes, so it is certain that the people who wrote them came from different countries.

Judging from the format and font of the text on the manuscript, the person who wrote this book was not the real author of the book, but just a copyist. The species catalog record method is used to record various materials, so it can be seen that the person who wrote the book was at least a scholar more than a hundred years ago.

The content of the book is the same as the name, it is to record all kinds of species on Yam Island. Most of these species information are plants and insects on the island. As for the spiritual creatures on the other side of the island, they are not recorded in the On this, he didn't even mention it, as if he didn't know the existence of these spiritual creatures.

Although the recording method is outdated, the content of the records is very detailed, from the shape of each species to the living habits of the species, and those plants will also record whether they are poisonous, what medicinal properties, etc., and all species will With a pair of hand-painted illustrations, and markings such as skulls, smiling faces, medical simple pictures, etc. next to the illustrations, even people who do not understand words can easily distinguish which species are dangerous and which species are safe.

Leo carefully read the species manual written in ancient French marked as one, although there was no information about the psychic creatures he wanted, nor about the monsters and Yams that appeared in the city at night. Mutations and other mysterious information, but the animal and plant information recorded in the manual has already made Leo's trip worthwhile.

All the animals and plants recorded in this manual are defined as extinct animals and plants in the Velen species series published by the medical school, and at the end of the book, he also saw a plant that should not appear in the world of Velen.

According to the book, this plant is called Star Orchid, which is a fern plant. When the flower blooms, the star-like pollen is sprayed out, forming a miniature starry sky image around the flower, hence the name.

However, the star orchid is not a plant in the world of Velen. This plant grows on a planet named Gagakudi in Andromeda. There, the star orchid has another name and is also a specialty of that planet. The local people will collect the star orchid. The pollen produced a very special kind of fuel, which is used for the fuel of the subspace lighthouse, which can provide torch guidance for the spaceship entering the subspace, so as to prevent the spaceship from getting lost in the subspace.

It is precisely because the role of this plant is very important that the Supreme Council of the universe ordered to try to plant this plant on other planets very early, but in the end they all ended in failure.

But now, Xinglan, which has failed to be transplanted by countless races and civilizations in the universe, has appeared on the mysterious island of Velen World, which has to make a lot of guesses in Leo's mind.

The first thing he thought of was the conspiracy of the Via people. Xinglan's interests were so huge that it almost triggered a war involving hundreds of civilizations in the universe.

If the Weiya people really have mastered a planet or world that can transplant Xinglan, then they must not dare to disclose this matter, and will try their best to conceal it. At the same time, they will send the most trustworthy and capable clansmen to sit on this planet and the world .

In this way, all kinds of performances of the Via people, Columbus of the Via people will appear in the Devil Nebula, and all questions about the space recorder will appear in the world of Velen have been answered.

However, this answer did not satisfy Leo. He felt that the Via people should have other plans. The star orchid plant was just one of their goals, and it might even be an unexpected harvest.

Leo took a closer look at the place where the star orchid grew, and found that the star orchid actually grew near the crater, and added a note of restricted area at the end of this information.

After memorizing the place where Xinglan grew, Leo closed the book and began to flip through the books at the back.

Just like the first book series, the content of the following books did not involve spiritual creatures, but the types of recorded creatures gradually shifted from road creatures to sea creatures. It can be said that all the creatures on Yam Island were recorded.

However, judging from the text of each book, the last few species manuals have begun to look less like a biological record manual with scientific prohibitions, but more like a few biological books with religious fanaticism. The first sentence of the article is all things belong to him, and he is a religious slogan such as the origin of all things.

From this set of books, Leo can clearly feel the changes in the cultural atmosphere in the city of Yam, from scientific and rational at the beginning to religious and fanatical later. Is this change the same as the current Yam? It is not known that people are parasitized by that kind of insects.

After putting down the species manual, Leo finally focused on the Guha Book written in the basic root of the Gamore language, and read it carefully.

Because the text is written in Gugamore, it was a bit difficult to read at first, but Leo quickly adapted to the grammar and meaning of Gugamore, and his reading speed became faster and faster, about thirty In about a minute, he read the entire book and memorized it all.

After closing the book in his hand, Leo closed his eyes slightly, frowning, as if he was thinking about the things recorded in the book.

The content recorded in the Book of Guha is not the city of Yam that Leo expected, but a giant family named Guha, and the content inside is not so much a novel as a poem.

In that book, it is recorded that the giant family named Guha lived in a place called the Eternal Land. The giants were born with strong bodies, and their bloodlines also endowed them with different abilities, allowing them to control the power of all things. , such as thunder, such as storms, such as the earth, etc., they can be called the darlings of the world.

It is precisely because their powerful power comes too easily that they use it without restraint, and because of this, they develop an arrogant attitude, which makes them start to despise the gods, disrespect the gods, and even covet the gods of the gods.

On a certain night, the Guha giant and the Church of the Gods had a conflict without any warning. No one understood how the conflict started, but everyone believed that it was the other party who provoked the conflict first, so the two sides began to use their best A strong force attacks the opponent.

However, even though the Church of the Gods is strong, it is still vulnerable to the mighty power of the Guha giants comparable to the gods. Soon the Church of the Gods became ruins under the attack of the Guha giants, and the belief of the gods was destroyed. Fragmented.

The war triggered by this conflict made the Guha giants so powerful when they discovered their power. When the Church of the Gods was destroyed, the gods did not appear, and it also made them think that the gods feared their power, so they were very arrogant. The character becomes more and more arrogant, even arrogant to think that the Guha giant can become the master of this world.

Under the influence of this kind of arrogance, the giant Guha launched an attack on the residence of the gods, but waiting for the giant Guha was the strongest counterattack of the gods, and countless powerful forces that could not even be imagined fell on Guha Among the Ha giants, the Guha giants suffered heavy casualties in an instant. A large number of Guha giants died on the battlefield, or some of them were locked up by the gods with magical powers and souls.

The gods didn't drive all the Guha giants to extinction, they drove the remnants of the Guha giants out of the eternal land and exiled them into the abyss, making these darlings of the world bear the erosion of the power of the abyss forever.

A large number of Guha giants died on the road, and only a few people walked out of the abyss, but their strength was not enough to keep them moving forward, and their flesh and blood also attracted countless creatures from the abyss. They could only settle down on the edge of the abyss and build The city, to deal with the attacks of the abyssal creatures.

This Guha book is not finished. The last article is that the giants of Guha discovered a powerful outer god. Those who have seen the power of the gods believe that believing in an outer god that is more powerful than the gods can give them more With a strong force, they are discussing whether to change their customs and believe in foreign gods. And this is considered by the Guha giant to be far from powerful. The outer god who surpassed the gods, Leo happened to know that He is the Stone Throne, but it is another name in the book, the name closest to the name of a god.

For some reason, the moment Leo saw the name, he felt that as long as he read the name, he would be able to connect with the unmentionable person.

However, Leo suppressed the urge to read the name, but he still wrote it down. He thought it might be useful in the future.

From the incomplete content of the last chapter, it can be seen that the content behind the Guha Book is not considered to be destroyed, but the subsequent content has been deliberately deleted.

Leo opened his eyes and looked at the relief of the city on the cover. He felt that if he wanted to see the complete Book of Guha, he probably had to go to the huge black city on the hillside.

Although the entire Book of Guha is completely different from the ancient myths recorded in the gods' books in various churches in the world of Velen, especially the war between giants and gods, which can promote the glory and power of gods, is not recorded in any church books. The gods recorded in the Book of Ha should not be the gods of the Velen world.

Reminiscent of how the Guha giant was exiled to the abyss by the gods, and then escaped from the abyss, it is very likely that the Guha giant is a race from another world.

What puzzled Leo was that people in another world also spoke Gamore language? Or is Gamore a foreign language?

Leo also thought that when the Guha giant built a city to resist the attacks of abyssal creatures, he used a long poem to describe the scene around the city. In this description, the place where they built the city was on the top of the northern mountains covered by endless snow. They collected lava essence as building materials and ground fire for heating the city.

If the defensive city written in the poem is the black giant city that Leo saw, then the island he is on now should be the top of the so-called northern mountains, and now the mountains have become the ocean, and the top of the mountain In this way, the giant Guha appeared in the world of Velen may be very ancient. Before the gods of the world of Velen appeared in ancient times, there is even a possibility that the giant Guha was the earliest god in the world of Velen.
