The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The builder of the survivor camp also thought of the defense problem when remodeling the surrounding bone houses. He deliberately connected all the attics into a spiral shape, and arranged a large number of fortifications and traps that can be opened at any time. .

Enemies who invaded the fortress from the main gate could only go around the tower three times or more according to the builder's intention, before they could actually enter the gate of the tower, and the distance of these three circles was enough to deal with most of the enemies. It can be judged from the various battle traces left around that these fortifications are indeed very effective.

When the three of them walked through this spiral passage where residence and defense were integrated, the nun and nun asked seemingly inadvertently: "How is our place?"

"It's not bad." Leo knew that the nun and nun asked about the fortifications here, but he pretended not to understand and replied.

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, the nun and nun didn't care. She smiled slightly and led Leo into the tower.

Entering the high tower, Leo immediately felt something strange. He found that this high tower was obviously different from the high tower library he entered in Baicheng before. Instead, it was the same place where the crow took him to the Venaya Sacred Blood Society headquarters. The tower wizard ruins are somewhat similar, the space here is much larger than the fortress outside, and it is obviously also a special space that incorporates subspace fragments.

The area inside the tower is more than ten times larger than the fortress outside, and it is also much higher. Compared with the buildings on the outside that are deliberately built with uneven levels to prevent intruders, the buildings inside the tower are extremely neat, and every A building has a fixed function.

For example, the three of them passed through many indoor plantations just now. This attic has no outer walls, windows and doors. Except for a few columns and floors, there is no other cover. People outside can clearly see the situation inside. .

I saw that this indoor plantation was full of mushroom-like fungi, and these fungi were all placed in boxes, and the boxes contained some liquid that looked like blood. I don’t know if it’s the fungus itself or the liquid in the box. The fungus in the box grows at an unusually fast rate. It grows out almost as soon as it’s harvested, and the harvested fungus is neat and tidy. Putting them in food bags with various names written on them, it seems that this fungus is their food.

In addition to the plantation, there is also a forging workshop here. The furnace of the forging workshop seems to be the head of a monster. From time to time, flames spew out from the eyes and mouth of the head, but the raw materials for forging are bones.

The forging craftsman put the raw bone in the fire for a while, and then threw it into a transparent viscous liquid, and then the bone became like soft mud, which can be shaped arbitrarily. Put the bone back into the tinder and grind it again, and a bone weapon is made.

Although the forging process of this bone weapon is very simple, as long as the average child can master the heat, the strength of this weapon will not be weakened by this simple forging process.

When Leo passed a forging workshop, he stopped, picked up a weapon placed on the ground, and looked at it carefully.

The nuns leading the way also stopped, turned around and watched Leo's movements, and Leo's movement of holding the weapon at this moment naturally caused the female leader who followed behind him to be nervous, and the tip of the spear that was originally hanging on the ground also slightly lifted. Get up and aim at Leo.

The female leader's movements naturally couldn't escape Leo's perception. He didn't care about it, but carefully checked the strength of the weapon, and felt that this cold weapon was not as simple as its simple appearance.

In addition to being extremely sharp, these weapons also contain some spiritual energy, which can provide additional damage to the weapon itself. Speaking of which, these weapons can be regarded as spiritual wonders.

After putting down the bone weapon in his hand, Leo turned to the female leader and asked, "Are these bones all from those monsters outside?"

The female leader didn't expect that Leo would suddenly ask her a question, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly: "Of course it's those guys, otherwise what do you think it is?"

"Won't their bodies disappear after you kill them?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"Of course not." The female leader looked at Leo as if looking at an idiot, and responded casually.

After hearing the answer, Leo showed a thoughtful look, turned his head again, and was about to move on with the nun, but when he turned his head, he saw the nun smiling at him with a deep meaning, and From this smile, Leo could feel that the nuns knew the reason for asking this question very well.

In this way, the nun led Leo around the tower, and then walked up the stairs until he reached the top of the tower.

On another high tower, that is, on this floor, Leo encountered an unknown existence, and the top floor of this high tower is an ordinary room, the area is the same as the real area of ​​the high tower, and it is the same as the floor below the tower. The space enlarged ten times is completely different.

This room is both a lounge, an office, and a prayer hall, but the most eye-catching thing in the room is not the statue of the victim, but a spiritual suppressor placed in the corner .

Different from the new spiritual energy suppressor seen on that high tower before, this spiritual energy suppressor has been rusted like a pile of broken copper and iron.

Psionic suppressors are made of special alloy materials, which are used to build space battleships that can navigate in the subspace. Not only are they extremely strong, but they can also resist various corrosive substances and energies in the universe. It is impossible for something like this to naturally corrode so badly. Judging from the corrosion situation, this psionic suppressor has been stored here for at least millions of years. It has been so long that the internal structure and external coating of the metal have completely disappeared, and it is no longer the original super alloy.

"Have you seen this artifact?" The nun paid special attention to Leo, and when Leo's face showed a slightly surprised expression, she immediately noticed it and asked.

"I've seen it, it's in another tower." Leo said half-truthfully.

"Another tower?" The nun nodded slightly, then turned to the female leader and said, "Joan, please go down and find Aunt Minna, and ask her to make two cups of bitter silk tea."

"Nurse, you're alone..." Although Leo hadn't shown any hostility all this time, the female leader still didn't believe Leo, so naturally she didn't want to see the nun of the church get along with him alone.

"It's okay, I believe this gentleman is not a bad person." The nun made a gesture of reassurance, and then signaled the female leader to leave.

Seeing that the nuns and nuns had made a decision, the female leader couldn't object anymore, so she could only look at Leo in a warning manner, then turned and left the tower.

"Please sit down." The nun indicated to Leo to find a place to sit down, and she sat on the soft chair by the fire, saying: "Sorry, I haven't introduced myself before, I am the confessor of the Church of the Sufferers Mo, the old name is no longer used, you can just call me Wumu."

Hearing the nun's self-introduction, Leo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and looked up and down again at the nun in front of him who looked no different from ordinary people.

Although the nun's self-introduction was very simple, it was not easy to hear it in Leo's ears, because according to his understanding of the Church of the Victims, the Eyeless Sister should be one of the three saints of the Church of the Victims.

Unlike other churches, which only elect one pope and the pope as the leader of this religion, the spokespersons of the gods in the world are different. There are three spokespersons for the gods of the Church of the Victims, who have no eyes, no eyes, and no tongue, representing everything in the world. Unseen suffering, unheard suffering and unspeakable suffering.

The three God spokespersons of the Church of the Victims are different from the Pope and Pope of most other churches. The religious leaders elected by most churches are actually church managers who are used to deal with church affairs and truly communicate with the gods. Most people are ascetic priests, and the three spokespersons of the gods of the Church of the Victims are the real spokespersons. It is said that they can not only use the magic spells bestowed on them by the victims, but also grant divine spells to other people on behalf of the gods. It can be said that It is the incarnation of real gods in the world.

However, what puzzled Leo was that the Church of the Victims already had an eyeless nun, and that eyeless nun was still preaching in the refugee city of Miria.

The three saints of the Church of the Sufferers are not inherited casually. All the saints are for life. Only one of them dies, and a successor will be selected from the candidates. In a hundred years, no new saint will appear.

This rule is not formulated by the church itself, but by the god of the victim, because the victim will only accept three saints as his favored ones, as for others, even the saints elected by the church, As long as the previous saint is still alive, he will not be recognized by the victims.

Therefore, the only criterion for becoming a saint of suffering is to see whether the saint can bestow the divine spell on the priests of the church.

Judging from the situation just now, it is obvious that this eyeless nun can still perform magic spells, and the eyeless nun in Miria City often has news about her miraculous healing skills, which is obviously not the same as that of the suffering people. church rules are different.

"My name is Leo Dodd, you can just call me Leo." Although there was doubt in his heart, Leo did not show his face, and introduced himself truthfully.

"The surname Dodd is very special. Are you an Englishman?" Eyeless Sister asked tentatively after hearing what Leo said.

"Yes." Leo replied simply.

The eyeless mother could see that Leo seemed not interested in his identity and surname, she smiled, and didn't continue, but directly started the topic, saying: "Mr. Leo, are you very puzzled in your heart? where is it?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "I was supposed to be in Baicheng, but now..."

"This is Baicheng." Eyeless Nanny replied without waiting for Leo to finish.

Leo frowned and said, "I also think this is Baicheng, but the buildings and environment here are completely different from Baicheng."

Eyeless Nanny replied again: "Because this is not Baicheng either."

"What do you mean by that?" Leo asked puzzled.

Mother Wumu explained: "This is Baicheng, but this is the inner world of Baicheng, the real face of Baicheng, and the Baicheng you see is just the outer world of Baicheng, the vanity surface of Baicheng."

However, the explanation of the eyeless mother still made Leo a little confused.

Eyeless Nanny seemed to know that her explanation was too simple, so she thought for a while and sorted out her words, and then slowly explained: "If the entire Baicheng is placed on a mirror, then our current Baicheng is Baicheng's. Reflection, but this does not mean that this white city is fake or illusory. In fact, this white city is as real as that white city, but the time and space are different. You should know the meaning of time. The concept of space, you may..."

"I know what space is." Seeing that Eyeless Nanny was about to explain what space was, Leo immediately interrupted her.

"Do you know what space is?" Eyeless Nanny was stunned for a moment, looked at Leo, and said, "It seems that Mr. Leo, your identity is not simple!"

Leo didn't explain why he knew space, a concept beyond the cognition of the times and the world. He only cared about the current situation and continued to ask: "Did you discover the inner world of Baicheng?"

"No." Eyeless Nanny shook her head and said, "It was discovered by a person from the future." After speaking, she paused and said, "But you should already know about the future person. Ruth told you?"

"You also know Alice?" Although he had already guessed in his heart, Leo still deliberately showed surprise and asked.

"Of course I do. She and I built this shelter, and most of the people who came here to seek refuge were sent here with her help." Eyeless Sister nodded, and then asked: "You should also be sent by her." Come here, right?"

Leo was silent for a while, took out the obsidian and looked at it, wondering if it was because of this thing that he came here.

"This is..." Seeing the obsidian, the eyeless mother showed a look of surprise on her face, and even sat up from the chair a little abnormally, reaching out to take the obsidian, but she was aware of her behavior A little rude, so he stabilized his emotions and asked Leo: "Excuse me, can you let me take a look at this obsidian?"

The reaction of the Eyeless Sister made Leo realize that this obsidian was not the reason why he entered this world, but this obsidian was indeed as extraordinary as he thought.

"Alice made this for me to disguise me as a parasite." Leo generously handed the obsidian to the eyeless mother, and then asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything special about this thing? "
