The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although Leon Belmont said it lightly, Leo could still feel the strong killing intent contained in his words. Obviously, there should be quite a few people who died at his hands and had the parasites taken by him.

So Leo asked bluntly: "You also use this method to pretend that your body is parasitized by parasites, and you can live in this city for so many years, right?"

"Yes." Leon Belmont did not deny it, but nodded his head, and then explained in detail: "Under normal circumstances, after integrating into the Holy Insect, you will have some abilities bestowed by the Holy Insect within half a year, and you will experience the first six months later. After the second fusion, after the second fusion, there will be some recessive mutations in the body, and only when this mutation is completely stabilized, those people can be regarded as real Yam people."

Leo questioned slightly and said: "No, if it takes half a year to mutate, then what happened to the guy I killed that night? He should have come to Yam recently, right?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking just now." Leon Belmont raised his hand to signal, and continued: "The process I just mentioned is a normal transformation process. Mutations immediately appeared, such as the guy you killed that night. This kind of people can't control their power. If there is no way to deal with the out-of-control holy insect power, then they will all mutate into some monsters in the end. So they need Constantly hunting and killing other holy insect parasites, by devouring those people's holy insects and obsidian, to stabilize the power of chaos and consolidate their own ability to withstand power, which is why they will try to attack other people."

"You came up with all this?" Leo asked, after listening to Leon Belmont's analysis, he couldn't help but sized him up.

"Of course I didn't think of it. Others thought of it." Leon Belmont shook his head in denial, but he didn't want to mention this matter, so he casually took the topic off.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions, but instead said: "I have some questions about this, I want to ask you, you..."

"There is no need to ask me. Even if you ask me about some things, I will not be able to answer them for other reasons." Leon Belmonte shook his head, and before Leo asked, he pointed to a beautiful bookcase on the wall. A book of handwritten notes was placed together, and he said: "All the research about this island is in those notes. The person who organizes these notes is much wiser than me. You can read these notes. If you can read all these notes Finish, and remember, then I can tell you with certainty that you are definitely the person who knows this island best."

Leo looked at the notes on the bookcase and saw the same mark on the spine and asked in a deep voice, "Are these notes written by the same person?"

"Yes, written by an idiot." Leon Belmont suddenly felt a little depressed, turned around and walked towards the basement, and said, "You can watch here for yourself! When the restriction on the entrance and exit outside is lifted, I'll let you know again."

Seeing the figure of Leon Belmont disappear at the entrance of the basement, Leo got up and walked to the beautiful bookcase. Judging from the fact that there was no dust on the bookcase, Leon Belmont took great care of these books and cleaned them frequently. Compared with the books covered in a layer of dust in other bookcases around, it formed a sharp contrast.

Leo casually picked up a recent handwritten note and flipped through it. He almost didn't need to learn any handwriting. Judging from the beautiful words on the note, he was sure that the person who wrote these notes was a woman , and this also made him vaguely understand why Leon Belmont was in such a mood.

Leo didn't study Leon Belmont's past personal feelings again. What he cared about was whether there was really something he wanted to know in these notes. So he put the desk and chair next to this bookshelf, pulled out a dozen books at once, and sat beside him to flip through them quickly.

The entire bookcase is not very big, and contains about fifty notebooks. Judging from the materials of these notebooks, it is obvious that the outer covers of these notebooks are handmade from animal skins, and the paper is specially treated tree The leather is very light and thin, similar to real paper, and the ink used for writing should be blended with charcoal powder, so after writing, a layer of oil is applied on the surface to fix the charcoal powder.

Judging from the production process of these notes, the process is very cumbersome and difficult, so the content recorded by the owner of the notes is very concise, incisive, and there is no nonsense, which makes Leo feel like he is reading the research report of some scientists .

Although there are many notes in more than fifty books, and some of the content in them is very scribbled and confusing, and you need to read carefully to fully understand what they mean, but with Leo's brain power and knowledge, he wants to remember the contents of these notes. It is not too difficult to understand the meaning inside. In less than two hours, more than fifty notebooks have been fully understood by Leo, and he also has a rough understanding of Yam Island, and he also Knowing why Leon Belmont knew about the Sea of ​​the Abyss.

Some scattered diaries mixed in these notes revealed the identity of the owner of the notes bit by bit. The person who wrote these notes was not from the world of Velen, but a resident of the town of Silver Moon Lake in the dream world, and what is interesting is that this She is also very famous, at least Leo has seen stories about this woman more than once in books bought by Hushang Town.

This woman's name is Alice, and she is an ordinary resident of the Second Lake Town, but because of the powerful magic she inadvertently inspired, the Lake Town Wizards Association noticed, and thus became the second chief of the Silvermoon City Wizards Association disciple.

Although Alice is a wizard, she herself is very obsessed with machines. She often stays in the factory area of ​​Second Lake Town to study those seemingly clumsy steam machines, and she throws away the witchcraft that is more in line with her power. the back of the head.

At first, but the second chief was naturally not happy, and often ran to the factory area to take Alice back. This situation was already a common occurrence for the residents of Second Lake Town, until Alice invented something , the second chief at that time gave up training this disciple, but allowed the disciple to study what she wanted to study, and the thing she invented was a war fortress guarding the border of the foggy area on the lake.

When the war fortress was first invented by Alice, it was a fixed fortress mechanical castle. Although it was much worse than the current war fortress that can be improved by Peter Alcott, it was still a very small thing at that time. It was very sensational, and it was simply a big killer to turn the situation around.

At that time, the people of Hushang Town could only hide on Yinyue Lake in the face of monsters in the fog area. With the characteristics that monsters in the fog area could not enter the lake area, they were completely passive defenses. But after the invention of the War Fortress, the people of Hushang Town began to advance the defense front The fog area was deep, and the monsters in the fog area were cleaned up on a large scale, thus obtaining arable land that could allow the people in Lake Town to survive.

Because of this, Alice was able to obtain a lot of privileges, and a large number of admirers followed her to assist her in writing books, and a mechanical wizard appeared in the sequence of wizards in the second tower of the Wizarding Association because of Alice. freak.

As the war fortress was winning successively against the monsters in the foggy area, good news continued to come from the front line, Alice's reputation also increased day by day, and finally reached the level of the top ten chief wizards, and many people even thought that Alice Alice should be the eleventh chief, even if Alice is not a pure wizard and does not know powerful witchcraft.

Just as the rumors about the Eleven Chiefs gradually spread from Silvermoon City to Lake Town and became more and more serious, when Alice, who was involved, returned to Second Lake Town to attend a relative's funeral, she was suddenly caught by the body collectors in the lake. Attacked, fell into the lake, and disappeared.

Although many people felt that something was wrong at the time, because when the corpse collector attacked Alice, none of the wizard guards around Alice took action to protect her. The chief's repression made all topics about Alice taboo. Except for the mechanical wizards created by Alice who still mentioned the founder from time to time, few other wizards would mention it, and even later, no one mentioned it anymore. Instead of thinking of Alice as a wizard, think of Alice as a master mechanic.

The book that Leo bought at the beginning was from a descendant of a mechanical wizard, and that mechanical wizard was obviously an admirer of Alice. In that notebook, he used a large piece of text to describe the appearance and appearance of Alice. Experience, if it wasn't for the things about the Wizarding Association recorded in that notebook, maybe Leo didn't even plan to read that notebook at all.

However, Leo didn't expect that the admirer's notebook full of disgusting words that he read through at the time would come in handy at this time.

Now these notes on researching various things on Yam Island are from the hands of Alice. The scattered diaries in these notes record some memories of Alice’s life in Lake Town. Because she was the only one who had direct contact with the corpse collector and survived.

According to Alice's recollection and research, she believes that the Corpse Collector is not an entity, but a consciousness that can affect reality, and that the Corpse Collector is not naturally produced, but is thought to be manufactured, and the person who made it is the wizard of Silvermoon City The three chief wizards of the association, that is, the first, second, and third chiefs who founded the Wizarding Association, as for the other seven chief wizards, they are just tools used by these three to control Lake Town and Silvermoon City.

Even when she was researching why she was attacked, she also carefully studied the various deeds of the previous three chiefs, and surprisingly found that the three chiefs may have never been succeeded, and they were the founding wizards from the beginning to the end. The three members of the association.

And she thought that the reason why she was attacked by corpse collectors was because her existence had shaken the system of the top ten chiefs, and also touched some of the restrictions of the three chiefs, because the second chief had asked her for an interview before the accident, Asked her to give up everything and go back to seclusion, she refused, and was attacked by the corpse collector the next day, which also made her suspect that the corpse collector was controlled by the three chiefs.

It's just that she didn't write down the process of how she got rid of the corpse collector and survived in the notes, and she didn't even mention it. There was also a guess rewritten in the content about the Silvermoon City Wizards Association. There may be some unknown relationship between Yam Island and the three chiefs of the Wizarding Association, because she once saw some psionic creatures and plants that can only be seen on Yam Island in the laboratory of the second chief.

I have to say that when Leo saw these contents, he was also very shocked.

Because in his previous speculation, the Wizards Association of Silver Moon Lake should be founded by some tower wizards who left the world of Velen. They can only hide in the center of Silver Moon Lake surrounded by endless fog.

But now, through these notes, he found that Yinyue Lake might just be an experimental area for those wizards, and even this Yam Island was just one of the experimental areas. If this was the case, he would have to re-evaluate the ability of the tower wizards Now, it is still unknown whether the tower wizard in the world of Velen has really disappeared, and the words of the black cat cannot be completely believed.

It's just that Leo didn't get too entangled in this issue. After all, even if this is one of the tower wizard's testing grounds, it can't solve the problems he is facing now, so his attention quickly shifted to Other content recorded in the notes.

Obviously, Alice is not only a person who has extremely high attainments in machinery, she also has a very high level of knowledge in biology. After all, the second chief of Silvermoon City is famous for creating life in Lake Town.

In the notes, there are a large number of research reports on various creatures on this island. These research reports are very professional, and it is impossible to understand without certain relevant knowledge.

Moreover, Leo discovered a detail. Similar island biology research reports occupy a little more than a quarter of all the content in the notes, and the first half of the reports are very messy, with no rules at all, almost thought-provoking. She just writes whatever she wants, and it is very difficult to read, but suddenly she suddenly became enlightened in the middle of writing a report, and the rest of the report was written in a much more orderly manner, and the subsequent reports became more and more professional and clearer , except for the same handwriting, they are not at all written by the same person.

In addition to the research on the creatures on the island, nearly half of the notes are about researching some things that Alice calls the relics of the gods. Judging from the relics of the gods drawn in the notes, Leo can easily identify Most of them are certain items and parts on the spacecraft, including the electric beam cutter just used.

What made Leo even more unbelievable was that Alice, relying only on her knowledge of steam machinery, researched the usage of those items of cosmic civilization bit by bit, and even repaired some damaged items by calling for parts. Cutter is one of them.
