The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"We still have time," Sean smiled, turned to look at Nelson, and said, "Cousin Nelson, do you still want to listen?"

Nelson didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

"There is nothing to tell about the adventure story of the white rose. The last stop of his journey was in Lanxi. He was invited to watch a slave wrestling, and he felt that he had found his purpose in life." Sean said with a serious expression on his face. He showed disdain and said: "He tried his best to help those slaves, taught them all kinds of knowledge, and provided them with various resources. In the end, he was sacrificed as a sacrifice by those guys who called him the great savior. It's ridiculous. To the extreme!"

In the cave on the mountain wall not far away, Catherine couldn't help showing indignation when she heard these words, obviously thinking that Sean was talking nonsense.

Nelson also didn't believe Sean's words, and his face was full of doubts.

Sean was also very clear that his words were not enough to convince Nelson, so he asked a series of questions again, saying: "Do you know how those slaves defeated the elite army of the Faran Empire? Do you know why those slaves had to specialize Driven the royal family of the Faran Empire to extinction, but spared some slave owners who directly oppressed them? Then do you know why the French royal family spared no effort to erase all the materials of the slave uprising?"

"It's hatred." Nelson also retorted: "Isn't the hatred that almost exterminated the family not enough to make the French royal family make such a move?"

"Hate? Do you think just hatred is enough?" Sean showed an incredulous expression, as if Nelson had said something amazing, and then said with obvious contempt: "Nelson, you really Naive, even if you come from a branch of the royal family, you don’t know that the so-called hatred is the most worthless thing in the eyes of those upper class people, and they can even form friends and relatives with enemies for the sake of benefit.”

After speaking, Sean seemed to lose interest in talking to Nelson again. He put the notes back in his pocket, reached out and patted Nelson on the shoulder, then stood up and walked to the broken bridge to check the progress of the bridge cables.

Nelson still didn't believe Sean's words, but Catherine showed a thoughtful look on her face. Obviously, as a descendant of slaves, she was touched by Sean's words.

As for Leo on the side, although he didn't care much about the past hundreds of years ago, he also let the sub-brain system collect and analyze the content of the conversation between the two, and the result was that at least 10% of what Sean said Over eighty is true.

Moreover, the sub-brain system also pointed out two important points, that is, if the divine warriors used by the slaves to defeat the army of the Faran Empire really existed, then according to the method recorded in the diary mentioned by Catherine, there must be one with magical powers. People with blood are sacrificed, which one is who?

Second, the extermination of the royal family of France aroused the hostility of all countries in the world of Velen, so that the royal family of Farland later won the support of all countries in its war against the slave kingdom. Judging from the ability and wisdom of King Yassin, who led the slave uprising at that time, to maintain a stable political situation for more than ten years after establishing his kingdom, King Yassin does not seem like the kind of person whose emotions control his reason. A well-known secret.

If you link this matter with the creation of divine warriors, it is not difficult to find the answer. After all, the Faran royal family is also recognized as one of the sacred blood royal families.

At this time, Leo detected through the spiritual network that a group of about thirty priests in full armor had entered the passage two hundred meters away.

Although they went the wrong way and entered a dead passage, they would soon notice it and turn back to the correct passage. In less than five minutes at most, the two teams would meet in this square.

"The doctor's position is not good. If the two groups go to war, he will definitely be affected." Leo noticed that Nelson's current position was right at the exit of the passage, and it happened to be in the middle of the square. Whether there is any other cover around, once there is a battle, Nelson is definitely the most suitable target.

It's just that it's impossible for Leo to remind him now. Judging from the open environment around him, if the sound is a little louder, there will be a lot of echoes. Let alone Nelson, everyone in the square will probably hear it.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo decided to try an advanced method of using the spiritual net, called spiritual projection, and this method has long been eliminated by the psykers of the Earth Federation, but it is appropriate to use it here now.

This kind of spiritual skill of the spiritual network does not require a more advanced spiritual link, it only needs to project the image to the target in a way similar to brain waves, so that the desired image appears in his mind, which belongs to the one-sided transmission type spirituality Skills.

The reason why this technique will be eliminated is mainly because the transmitted spiritual projections are easily intercepted by others, and not everyone likes to passively accept some inexplicable spiritual projections, so most psykers are mastering the spiritual network skills After that, a mental barrier will be built to isolate all unnecessary mental fluctuations from the outside world.

After making a decision, Leo began to construct some images in his mind, such as the image of the battle in the square, the location where Nelson hid, the location of the cave where they are now, and so on. After constructing the images, he followed the technique of using the mental net, and transmitted the mental brainwaves mixed with these images to Nelson like an antenna emitting radio waves.

Soon Nelson accepted it, and he was stunned for a while. He didn't know what was going on at first, but suddenly some fragmented images flashed in his mind, making him a little confused about what happened.

When he looked towards the cave where Leo and the others were in the video, he saw the vines hanging there trembling unnaturally a few times. Only then did he understand the meaning of the video, and he also felt sorry for Leo and the others in his heart. The act of people coming to rescue him was extremely touching.

Although Nelson didn't understand how Leo managed to make this hallucinatory image appear in his mind, he knew that time was running out and he couldn't allow him to think too much.

Then I saw Nelson standing up very naturally, took two steps in the square, and then seemed to be attracted by something, walked to the hiding place that Leo had chosen for him in the illusion and sat down, pretending to be interested He studied the pattern of totem art on the pillar beside him.

And this pillar happened to be under the cave where Leo and the others were staying, and it also blocked Nelson's hiding place and the entrance of the passage, and could serve as a cover to avoid attacks if necessary.

Although Nelson has always been watched, but what he is doing now does not show any abnormalities, so those watchers ignored it.

At the same time, the priests of the Aknaya Church on the other side have entered the correct passage, and through the voice from the passage, they confirmed that this is the target they were tracking, but their speed slowed down instead, and their footsteps changed. Go softer, making your approach soundless.

When these priests came to the last turning point of the passage, they could already see the square, and because the people on Xiao En's side were not ambush at the front of the passage, Nelson, who was in the front before, moved his position again, so the priests in the passage They couldn't see anyone in the square, they could only hear voices faintly coming from the broken bridge.

The priests did not rush out of the passage rashly, but retreated a certain distance very cautiously, and then gathered together to discuss countermeasures for the attack.

The time for the discussion was very short, and the result was reached in less than a minute. Five of the priests came out, took off their masks and clothes, and stood in front of everyone.

At this time, Leo, who was monitoring the situation here with the Spirit Network, showed a surprised expression on his face, because he saw that the few priests who took off their clothes had very obvious genetic alienation.

I saw that all the hair on the bodies of these five priests had fallen off, and the skin on their bodies had become very thin and transparent, and the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen, completely inhuman.

And what is even more surprising is that these priests took up blade-shaped weapons and hid them in their hands, and then stuck their bodies on the stone walls of the passage. It didn't take long to see the color and texture of their body skin began to change, becoming It is exactly the same as the surrounding rocks, just like a chameleon. If you just look at it with the naked eye, it may be difficult to distinguish these people.

Leo, who detected this scene on the Spirit Network, couldn't help but think of the monster he solved not long ago. Although the two invisibility methods are different, it is undeniable that the effects displayed by the two are very similar, which also makes Leo once again suspected that the Church of Aknaya might have really mastered the relatively mature heterogeneous gene fusion technology.

These priests who disguised themselves as rock walls began to lean against the wall and move along the passage to the square. Soon they came to the exit and saw several tall and strong men holding a mechanical repeater crossbow. Aligned with the channel exit.

At this moment, the five priests who acted as pioneers were very grateful that they and others did not rush into the square just now, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Among the five people, one returned to the passageway, apparently wanting to inform his colleagues behind him of the situation in the square, while the other four moved carefully to the nearby Yingges who were in ambush, and made preparations. Once you make a move, immediately eliminate the enemy in front of you.

In the passage, the other priests also took off their clothes, and their skin was the same as that of the five priests before. It's just that, among these priests, some of them don't need to lean against the rock wall, just stand in place like this, and the skin on their bodies will appear similar to transparent light and shadow phantoms.

"Is it really a mature technology?" Seeing so many genetically modified mutants appearing at the same time, Leo was sure that the Church of Aknaya should have extracted this transparent ability from those monsters and successfully used it onto other people.

This also made Leo feel unbelievable, because the Earth Federation spent countless resources and used heterogeneous gene technology with no successful cases for hundreds of years, but in such a backward steam world, it was completed by a church with no technological capabilities. This is simply the greatest mockery of the evolution of the mainstream technology of the Earth Federation.

At this moment, from the point of view of the situation, on the one hand, there are prepared people who can be invisible, and on the other hand, there are guards who are ready but cannot see the enemy by their side. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that the situation presents a one-sided advantage.

However, Leo still found a clue. When Sean, who was discussing how to build the bridge, was talking, his glasses would inadvertently look at the positions of the invisible priests. He acted the same way with ten Yingges who also wore glasses, and these Yingges quietly put down their work, picked up their weapons, and seemingly casually stood in a few places that could be used as cover. s position.

"There is a problem with the glasses." Leo smiled knowingly, and soon realized that Sean also came prepared, and he was looking forward to the next battle more and more.

Just as those priests entered the square one after another and arrived at the attack positions they had agreed upon, those priests who could be completely invisible also walked directly through the square and walked to the vicinity of Sean, ready to attack.

However, just as the priest was about to launch an attack, Sean suddenly yelled "Do it", and then he saw Sean take out an expensive special-made repeating gun from his clothes and shoot it at the side beside him. Several priests who didn't understand what was going on fired a round, emptying a magazine containing at least thirty special bullets at once.

Other people who wore glasses and knew the location of the invisible priest also acted at the same time, aiming their mechanical crossbows at their respective targets and shooting deadly arrows.

And the ambushers who were used as bait rolled quickly on the ground when they heard the cry, and escaped from the attacked situation well-trained.

And after stabilizing their figures, they also randomly shot arrows at the surrounding walls with the crossbows in their hands. Even if they couldn't see the enemy, it didn't matter. Judging by the density of the priests' arrangement, there were always a few arrows stained with blood.

Catherine on the cave saw the scene of Xiao En's men attacking, but she didn't understand what happened for a while, until a dead priest fell to the ground and the invisibility effect disappeared, she understood the situation and revealed With a horrified expression, he covered his mouth to keep himself from making a sound.

"Professional soldiers." Jason was also shocked when he saw this scene, and whispered.

Regarding Jason's judgment, Leo also nodded in agreement. The coordination was so seamless, and the strikes were fierce and deadly. It was completely like a team of soldiers who had experienced battles. What's more, the sub-brain system that surprised him even more. History of the military.

Although the mechanical crossbows in the hands of these professional soldiers are produced by the same manufacturer as the military standard crossbow in the hands of Nelson, the materials and design of the workmanship are far superior to those of the military continuous crossbow. It should be a custom-made crossbow. Special weapons, and the ability to customize this kind of military equipment and organize it in a large-scale formation of thirty or forty people, the identity of Sean and the supporters behind these soldiers is ready to be revealed.
