The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It's just that before the animal bone possessed by the offering spirit attacked the next prey it selected, a man in the crowd who looked crazy suddenly rushed in front of the animal bone. He pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, aimed it at the rune stone on the neck of the animal bone, and pulled the trigger.

A special bullet was fired from the gun and hit the rune stone precisely. A burst of spiritual energy was used from the bullet to instantly destroy the energy structure on the rune stone, and the support spirit attached to the rune stone was also fired by the spiritual energy. After going out, the animal bones were also scattered into a pool of broken bones at this moment.

The support spirit that was ejected lost its strange object, and was immediately repelled by the power of the world, and a force from an inexplicable place was also pulling it. If nothing unexpected happened, it would leave this world soon, Or under the impact of the power of the world, it can be restored to the most original power of the world.

It's just that the offering spirit is obviously not willing to disappear like this, it immediately looks for someone to possess, but there is a power shrouded in the people at the scene of the sacrificial ceremony, this force prevents it from approaching, making it unable to possess any of them on a person.

Just when it was desperate, a turning point appeared, it felt a creature approaching here, and this creature was not protected by power,

With no other choice, it could only rush towards this strange creature, and was about to possess him.

And the act of supporting the spirit was naturally seen by the man who smashed the rune stone just now. He also saw the stranger walking out of the dense forest, and immediately reminded loudly: "Be careful, run away!"

Although he was reminding the stranger to run away, he also made the most correct reaction at the same time, pointing the gun in his hand at the person who came, and if the person who came was possessed, he would kill him without hesitation.

However, to the surprise of the support spirit and the man, the stranger did not panic at all, and when the support spirit approached, he stretched out his hand towards the invisible support spirit as if he could see it, and really grabbed it. To support the spirit.

Before the support spirit could understand what was going on, it felt a force emanating from the stranger's palm, hitting it like a tsunami, and instantly scattered it, allowing it to return to the world without any resistance In the source.

Seeing the offering spirit being dispersed in the hands of strangers, the man didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, he became more nervous. He didn't put down the gun in his hand, and took out a gun from the special pocket hidden in his thigh. Holding the dagger tightly in his hand, he looked at the person who was slowly walking over vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Just an ordinary citizen." The stranger came out of the dark woods and came to the campfire.

Only then did the man see the appearance of the person who came. In terms of appearance, the person who came was not outstanding, and his figure was only average in Port of Sorre, a city full of workers and porters. Intangible temperament, this kind of temperament made him feel as if he saw a duke, a king and other big figures, and his whole body felt an invisible pressure from body to soul.

While the man is amazed at the stranger's invisible temperament, he is also guessing the identity of the stranger, and it is the other person's clothes that provide him with clues to guess.

He could tell that the suit of clothes on the other party came from Old Henry's clothing store, and Old Henry's tailor was definitely the best in Port of Sete, and it could even be said to be the best in the Kingdom of England, so the clothes he made by himself are also available. Being sought after by the upper class, the price is naturally extremely expensive, and the person who wears this clothing is not lucky.

So when he thought of this, the man pointed at the stranger's special firearm and shifted the muzzle a little bit, and blew his identity, saying: "Nick Land of the Special Bureau."

As he said that, he carefully took out a badge made of special metal from the back pocket of his trousers with the hand holding the dagger, and waved it in front of the stranger.

"Leo Dodd." The stranger simply said a name, then squatted down, picked up the rune stone that had been cracked by bullets and lost its effectiveness on the ground, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

"Dude?" Hearing this surname, Nickland was stunned for a moment, because in his memory, there was no one named Dodd among the nobles in the kingdom, but there was a surnamed Dodd among the rich merchants, but it was just a small Local wealthy businessmen would not be recorded at all if they were not related to a member of parliament.

It is obvious that Leo Dodd in front of him is definitely not a wealthy businessman in that small place, no matter in terms of temperament, figure, or the extraordinary strength he just displayed.

Thinking of this, Nickland couldn't help but move the muzzle of the gun, but he didn't completely regard Leo as an enemy, but as a suspicious object, even though Leo's behavior at the moment was a bit weird, because he knew very well that Leo Where did the rune stone in Ou's hand come from.

For Leo, it doesn't matter whether the rune stone is damaged or not. All he needs is the arrangement method of the Turing radical on the rune stone, so this rune stone is still useful to him.

After confirming that the rune stone was still useful, he unceremoniously put the rune stone into his pocket, turned his head and said to Nickland who was about to open his mouth to stop, "What are you going to do with these people?"

Although the rune stone was destroyed, the people who participated in the sacrificial ceremony did not recover from the lost emotions, and they were still doing all kinds of shocking things.

"They will be sent back to their respective homes for their families to deal with." Nickland didn't need to go back to Leo to ask any questions, but when Leo asked, he couldn't help but answer, and after answering, Only then did he realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and the expression on his face became serious.

The first thing he thought of was that he was plotted against by Leo, but he quickly denied this guess, because the amulet on his body didn't respond at all.

Although the amulet cannot absolutely protect him from those extraordinary forces, but at least it can have an early warning effect, letting him know if he is attacked by extraordinary forces, and it was obvious that he was not attacked just now. Looking back now, the reason why he answered was Because he felt he had to answer.

Leo nodded when he heard the words, turned around and walked back the same way, while Nickland was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Wait, the Special Bureau hopes that you can assist in the investigation..."

"It's none of my business." Leo directly rejected Nickland's follow-up proposal without looking back. Although he didn't know what the special bureau was, in the Earth Federation, any secret unit in any country represented trouble. , he is not afraid of trouble, but he is also unwilling to cause trouble at will.

Hearing Leo's words, Nickland opened his mouth and finally did not speak again to persuade him to stay, but he still decided to remember Leo Dodd's name, and planned to investigate this person carefully when he went back, because judging from the situation just now, this Humans are so powerful that even strange monsters like the offering spirit can be easily eliminated.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong with him, because he clearly remembered the name and appearance of Leo Dodd a moment ago, but now the name and appearance have become blurred in his memory. No matter how he recalled it, it was always just a I have a vague impression, I know that a person just came to solve the support spirit, but I can't remember anything else, I can't even remember what I talked with.

This abnormal situation made him startled, and he immediately took out the amulet on his body, but the amulet that was still intact made his doubts not only not disappear, but became more and more intense.

In fact, Nickland didn't know that although Leo didn't use any extraordinary power of this world just now, the psychological suggestion he used in conjunction with the life suppression of his own higher life body was similar to the extraordinary power to a certain extent.

This method was created by Leo these days when he came to Port of Scitech, because when he and Jason toured the city, they would always find that those who came into contact with him would involuntarily feel afraid of him, and put their posture Lay low and feel like a minion.

He felt that the intangible influence produced by his life form could be used, so he cooperated with the study of psychological suggestion from the Earth Federation, and then created this kind of suggestion method that does not belong to extraordinary power, but has a significant effect.

After leaving the scene of the sacrificial ceremony, Leo continued to walk towards home. Apart from encountering poor people who ran to the cemetery to rob a few nights, he never encountered any other accidents.

After returning to the apartment, Leo ordered Sanjies to prepare some food, and then went directly to the bedroom on the top floor, put the rune stone, the box containing the fighting chess and the box of the sacrificial scroll on the table together, and cleaned up a bit. Put on comfortable clothes to wear at home, sit at the table, and carefully look at these things on the table.

The first thing Leo picked up was not the rune stone, but the fighting chess box.

After he opened the box, he took out the fighting chess piece inside the box and placed it on the table. The power of the spirit net was also concentrated, and it penetrated into the fighting chess bit by bit.

Then, something happened that was both within his expectations and somewhat beyond his expectations. At the moment when all the fighting chess penetrated into his mental net almost at the same time, a powerful pure mental force produced a powerful pure mental power to crush Lei. The power of the spiritual network that Ou penetrated was dissipated.

At the same time, phantoms were also displayed on the battle chess. These phantoms were the same as the characters represented by the battle chess itself, but they were enlarged a lot. They roared at Leo one by one, as if they were real.

At this time, Sanjies, who was carrying a plate full of food, knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw the vision of the battle chess on the table, he was stunned, but he didn't show much surprise. He returned to normal, put the food next to Leo, and asked, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"

"Have you ever seen this kind of combat chess?" Sanjes's reaction made Leo guess, so he asked.

Sanjes nodded, but did not intend to answer in more detail.

Leo didn't press the question either, and waved his hand so that he could leave.

Not long after Sanjies left, the illusion displayed on the battle chess quickly faded away, and the battle chess returned to its previous state, but the surface of the battle chess looked much older than before, which made people feel It seems like decades have passed.

Seeing the changes in the battle chess, Leo couldn't help frowning, feeling a little tricky.

In fact, the moment he saw the battle chess, Leo knew that this battle chess was a set of battle puppets made by a wizard, and the information about the battle puppets did not come from any notes of the wizard, but from the mark of the web weaver the knowledge contained in it.

For a long time, the relationship between wizards and the church has not been very good. For a while, it even reached the point of incompatibility. Under the influence of the church, the anti-witch movement among the people has intensified. Many people who have a slight relationship with wizards have been identified. For wizards, and then burned alive one by one.

For this kind of anti-witch movement, the high-tower wizards who have real power don't care much about it. No matter how big the movement is, it will not have any impact on them. On the contrary, they prefer to see the popularity and expansion of the anti-witch movement among the people. , because this allows the tower wizards to borrow the power of the people to find people with wizard qualifications more conveniently.

But for ordinary wizards wandering among the people, the anti-witch movement is definitely a disaster. Those wizards who have no organization to rely on and are not strong can't get out of the anti-witch movement. Once they are targeted by the church , is a dead end.

In order to survive, these wizards have come up with all kinds of witchcraft to save their lives. These witchcraft are all powerful and evil without exception. Combat chess is not the most evil among these witchcrafts, but it is the most suitable for life-saving.

In the mark of the Web Weaver, there is no detailed method of making and using wizard battle chess, only some vague information, which shows that every wizard battle chess must use the flesh and soul of an official knight, Once the wizard battle chess is made, it can be used repeatedly until the chess piece is completely damaged.

Just like the evil witchcraft invented by some other folk wizards, they were all taken away by the tower wizards at the end of the witch-elimination movement, and such witchcraft could hardly be found among the people.

It's just that, because the wizard battle chess is not pure witchcraft, it was not taken away by the tower, but was exiled to the people under the operation of some caring people.

Some people obtained Wizard Battle Chess without special control techniques, which was equivalent to obtaining an official knight, but more people obtained Wizard Battle Chess with prohibitive techniques, and most of these things became collectibles.

However, almost all of these people obtained one or two pieces of combat chess. It has never been possible for Leo to obtain a whole box at a time, at least the information recorded in the mark of the web weaver is unprecedented.

The reason why the Web Weavers care so much about these wizard battle chess is because the Web Weavers had a church in Velen like other gods at the beginning, but this church existed for a short time and then perished, and the person who destroyed this church was a master It is precisely because of this incident that the cultists with fifty wizard battle chess pieces made the web weavers pay special attention to the wizard battle chess pieces. There are many such things in the web weaver's imprint, even including the one in Leo's hands. The previous attribution of the box of wizard battle chess is also recorded in it.
