The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The gods of Anor Londo are completely different from the gods of the world of Velen. They not only live in the same city as mortals, but also intermarry with mortals, leaving a large number of descendants of gods, most of whom have become However, some descendants of the gods gave up all the power and status they could obtain, put on the armor carefully crafted for them by the gods, became the guards of the gods, and directly accepted the command of the four knights who fought for them. God conquers those heretical worlds.

According to the book, just like Knight Roderick, these god-born warriors were also involved in the civil war, but some of them survived, and claimed to have received the revelation of the departed gods, and would guard the royal city , waiting for the return of the gods.

According to Leo's thinking, he would not provoke these god-born fighters, because it is not difficult to hear from the various descriptions of the god-born fighters, the most common of these god-born fighters have at least the strength of seventh-level psykers, stronger Some of them may even be Omega-level advanced life forms, such as the four conquering knights who command all the god-born warriors.

But the problem now is that the space passage for him to leave the royal city is at the place where the god-born warriors are stationed, and he is no longer allowed to make a choice.

Having made a decision, Leo looked at both sides of the city wall and found that the stairs leading down to the city wall had been damaged and collapsed. He stuck his head out of the city wall and looked at the inner wall of the city wall. After seeing the condition of the wall clearly, He also dismissed the idea of ​​jumping directly from the city wall.

Because there are some mysterious symbols all over the city wall, although he can't feel the function of these mysterious symbols now, he can deduce that if he really jumps rashly, the result will be very bad.

After dispelling the idea of ​​taking a shortcut, Leo could only walk towards the place where the steps of the city wall collapsed in the distance, but not long after he left the tower, a strong danger suddenly appeared, and he instinctively made a dodge action, rolling , Hiding behind a pile of city wall bricks next to him.

Just as he was hiding behind the bricks, there was a sudden ding ding sound from the place where he was standing before, as if something had hit the stone on it, and when he turned his head to look over, he found that there was indeed something. Something hit the stone, because the stone is now covered with small holes, as if something just pierced it.

The matter didn't end there, because there was also a sound of ding ding ding from the pile of bricks that blocked Leo's body, and it seemed that someone should continue to chase him.

Leo immediately activated the spiritual vision skill, and added the power of the real eye to the spiritual vision, and after a new round of sound, he immediately stretched out his head and looked out.

I saw that there was already a whole group of archers standing on the wall that should have been empty. These archers were all three meters high, wearing armor, and holding a four-meter-high longbow in their hands. When opening a longbow, an arrow will automatically appear on the bowstring, but what really surprised and surprised Leo is that these archers are all ghosts.

Although those people on Yam Island were most likely dead in a shipwreck, their bodies and so on were no different from ordinary people, so they didn't bring any surprise to Leo.

But now, these archers in front of him are real ghosts and real soul states. This is the first time he has confirmed the existence of souls so truly, even if he himself is the real evidence of soul existence.

While feeling the novelty, Leo quickly calmed down and found a way to deal with these ghost archers.

He took out a soul bonfire trap directly from the storage space, then activated it, and recognized the ghost archers.

When the soul bonfire rune produced a pile of bonfire illusions, the ghost archers around rushed towards the bonfire as if they had encountered an unstoppable temptation. Even if they were burned to ashes after approaching the bonfire, none The ghost archer flinched.

In this way, a group of ghost archers who could pose a fatal danger to most people were burned, but Leo did not come out from behind the stone immediately, but waited quietly for a while, and checked the situation outside with the spirit net , and looked at the city wall with his spiritual vision, and after confirming that there was no danger, he came out and came to the soul bonfire trap.

Because the souls of the ghost archers are really powerful, and they rushed into the soul campfire trap in a crowd, and were burned and refined at the same time, which made this beyond the tolerance limit of the soul campfire trap, and a crack appeared in the soul campfire trap.

Although this crack did not affect the subsequent refining effect of the soul bonfire trap, it is certain that this soul bonfire trap cannot be used again.

This also made Leo realize that it is not perfect to use the soul bonfire trap to deal with soul-type enemies. When using it in the future, you should consider the strength of the opponent's soul, otherwise it may be self-defeating.

Although the soul bonfire trap was damaged, it still refined those ghost archers into a ball of soul crystal stones before it was damaged.

Now Leo already knows that these objects that look like a ball of light are soul crystal stones. Judging from the use of soul crystal stones in dark arts, this kind of thing is mainly the main medium of casting spells for the soul, whether it is for the soul Both beneficial witchcraft and dark arts that are harmful to the soul need to use this thing.

The easiest way to use it is to directly crush this ray of light. When it is crushed, the soul power contained in the ray of light will be automatically injected into the person closest to it, and the soul of this person will produce a very direct Lifting effect.

However, this method is the most wasteful method, because nearly 70% of the soul power will dissipate in the air when crushed by the devouring light, and even if the remaining 30% is integrated into the user's soul, only a small part It can be fused to enhance the effect, and most of the remaining soul power will be deposited in the user's soul. If an effective method cannot be found to digest this part of the precipitated soul power, then this part of the soul power will become a side effect and affect the user's soul.

The effective use method of this soul crystal stone can not only be used to cast dark arts, but also can be used to make potions. In fact, according to the dark art knowledge he has obtained, making soul potions is the most correct way to use this kind of soul crystal stones Usage, and the name of this potion is very strange, if translated according to the common language, this potion is called the potion of human nature.

The biggest function of the human medicine is to protect the soul from getting lost in the abyss, which is also the real function of the human medicine, but this kind of human medicine also has other functions, that is, it can heal the wound of the soul, or restore the loss of the soul.

Although the potion of human nature cannot directly increase the strength, it can treat the soul, which is far more precious than ordinary potions.

Although Leo can't use this potion now, as his psychic level continues to increase, he will inevitably be exposed to the evolution of the soul level. Once the evolution fails, it will inevitably cause damage to the soul level. It will work naturally.

Leo is very aware of the importance of human nature medicine, so he will not be so stupid as before to crush the soul crystal stones that are equipped with the important ingredients of human nature medicine. Instead, he will store these soul crystal stones in the storage space and keep them , and also dismantle the damaged soul bonfire trap, and recycle the rune modules that can still be used inside.

From the beginning of making mechanical traps, Leo began to pay attention to the overall modularity, which made it easier for him to disassemble other traps at any time to assemble new traps suitable for current needs. Later, when making rune traps, he also used When it comes to this method, this allows him to create a large number of usable rune traps when materials are in short supply.

After tidying up, Leo continued to walk towards the collapsed city wall stairs, but he didn't cancel his spiritual vision, but carefully observed the surrounding situation with his spiritual vision.

When he passed another city wall tower, he stopped for a while, because in his spiritual vision, there was a soul body in this tower sitting weakly on a chair in the tower. It is not difficult to tell from his clothes that he should be a priest, and from his huge figure of nearly five meters, it can be seen that he should be a descendant of a god.

This is the first time that Leo has seen a god-born with a complete appearance after arriving in the royal city. Although it is only a god-born, some characteristics of the god-son can infer what the gods of Anor Londo look like.

I saw that this divine descendant had a very long face, blue and white in color, with four pairs of vertical eyes arranged in sequence on the forehead, no nostrils, but a pair of human-like ears, and a huge mouth full of sharp holes. Tooth, the appearance of this divine descendant is terrifying by the standards of ordinary humans.

At this time, the already extremely weak god-born soul body suddenly opened his four eyes completely, stared at Leo's left hand, as if seeing something terrifying, opened his mouth, and said nothing, the soul body Gradually dimmed, and soon disappeared, and what looked like a puppet remained on the chair.

Among the knowledge gained from the snake's eye, there is something about the origin of this thing. This is the spell-casting medium given by the gods of Anor Londo to the priests who serve them to cast certain divine spells, and its function is like the snake's eye.

The gods of Anor Londo are not like the gods in the world of Velen, who can directly bestow magical powers on believers. They will only impart some magical knowledge to the clerics, and then give them all the things needed to perform this kind of magic. The casting medium, and the casting medium of each god is not universal.

Through the ability of spiritual vision, Leo can see that there are still strong spiritual energy fluctuations left on the medium of this magic technique, which shows that it has cast a strong magic technique not long ago, and compared with those ghost bows and arrows encountered before. hand, it is not difficult to guess that the appearance of those ghost archers is due to the magic performed by this priest.

However, it is obvious that this descendant of the gods did not expect that Leo would have a soul bonfire trap, a sharp weapon aimed specifically at the soul, which would eliminate all the ghost archers at once, causing the magic to backfire and directly destroying the god who is the soul body. descent.

Leo picked up the magic medium and looked at it. Although it looked simple, it was actually not ordinary at all.

The outside of this thing is a piece of rune cloth. There are a lot of mysterious runes on the surface of the cloth, and some items are wrapped in the cloth. Those items are definitely not simple, because when he holds this magical medium in his hand, he can He clearly felt a strong breath of life, a breath of life far beyond his comprehension.

Judging by the strength of the breath of life, the items wrapped in the rune cloth are part of the body of a high-level life form, that is, hair or nails, or even flesh and blood. This high-level life form has at least an eighth-level psychic or above degree of evolution.

Even in the universe of the Earth Federation, the body parts of high-level psykers are valuable things, and they are usually collected in biological research institutions for the purpose of cultivating new species of biological genes. The huge life energy contained in the body parts makes the newly cultivated biological genes have a great survival rate.

However, Leo is not thinking about how to use this magical medium in his mind now, but thinking that the god Anor Londe corresponding to this magical medium is still alive, and the powerful vitality emanating from the magical medium is the ultimate good evidence.

Even if the body parts of any higher life form are just hair and nails, they have a vague connection with the higher life form itself. When the source body of these parts dies, the life energy contained in these parts will quickly dissipate. will also lose its special effects.

So far, the Supreme Council of the universe has not figured out what this connection is all about, because this connection has no space and time constraints, even if the source body of the body part is millions of light-years away, when the source body dies, The flow of life energy from the body part also happens at the same time.

The Supreme Council also took advantage of this special connection of life characteristics of higher life forms to allow each member of the Council to leave a part of their body and keep it properly. Time to find out, and find out why.

According to the same principle, the god corresponding to this magical medium should still be alive judging from the current situation.

With curiosity, Leo carefully checked the details of the rune cloth outside the magic medium, to see if he could find the marks corresponding to the gods on it.

"Mother of the Night?" Leo quickly found the imprint of the gods, and after comparing the badges of the gods in the book written by the people of the Dragon Academy, he quickly found the corresponding god.

There is not much information about the Mother of the Night in that book, because the Mother of the Night is very mysterious. She is the only god among the gods of Anor Londo who has not built a temple and has no priests to serve her. She has never It has not appeared in the festival of the gods, and some descendants who can enter and exit Anor Londo have not even seen the statue of the Mother of the Night on the temple of Anor Londe, so some people doubt whether there is a Mother of the Night this god.
