The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is it dangerous in there?" A Transcendent Su found looked at the gloomy dilapidated buildings around him, frowned involuntarily, and asked in a deep voice.

The three extraordinary collaborators that Su found were mainly to make up for her lack of actual combat power, so that when Leo had something abnormal, she would not have a gap in combat power, so the few people she found were all combat power in the industry. Relatively strong, and all have extraordinary abilities of powerful destructive power and lethality.

But while these people have strong combat effectiveness, they will inevitably have some defects in other abilities, such as perception.

In the forest outside, even the werewolves who are much weaker than the three of them can feel that something is wrong in the surrounding forest, but the three of them have no feeling at all, and now it is even more impossible for them to really feel the danger of the gloomy buildings in the castle. place.

"The resentment of the massacre of a whole family will not dissipate even in the past so many years." Su could also feel the various negative forces hidden in the castle buildings, but he couldn't be sure of the source of these negative forces. He could only attribute it to the beginning. The scourge left by the massacre, so she also reminded very seriously, saying: "It's best not to get close to those houses, inside those houses..."

"He!" Just as Su was speaking, a Transcendent interrupted her reminder, and pointed in the direction leading to the main hall of the castle.

Su turned her head and saw that Leo was walking towards the main hall of the castle, which made her frown involuntarily, and wanted to step forward to stop him.

"Don't go there, you will only become a burden to him if you go, he will be fine." Mira stopped Su, and then asked Willis: "When you left here, did you already look like this? ?”

"No." Willis shook his head and said, "It wasn't so serious at the time, only a little problem at night, and I didn't feel so, so..."

Willis didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings for a while, and scratched his head anxiously.

"Malicious." Mira said a word for him.

"Yes, it's malicious." Willis nodded immediately, then looked around worriedly, and said, "It feels like the whole castle is alive, and it's full of hatred for any intruder."

Hearing what Willis said, Mira was silent for a moment and said, "When will the entrance to Death Valley appear?"

Willis quickly replied: "As long as the fog appears at night, I can use my blood to open the entrance."

Mira was silent for a while, and said: "After opening the entrance, don't go in, stay here at night, I still need to take some protective measures for you, the bonfire alone may not be able to block the malice in this castle."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the temporary camp under construction, and then walked around the campfire as the center, and every time she walked a certain distance, she buried a bone-like thing on the ground, and then muttered words, as if Like praying.

Seeing Mira's movements, Su didn't catch up with Leo, but led three collaborators to help the Wolf Gang build a temporary camp as soon as possible and collect enough firewood for the night.

On the other side, Leo, who came out of the team, had already stepped into the main hall of the castle.

This is the place where the massacre started. At the beginning, the lord's family was gathered here to be massacred. It should have been cleaned up at the beginning, but later, in order to attract tourists, the officials of Josburg rebuilt it according to the original scene. After some arrangement, although some locations were wrong due to lack of detailed records, the general scene was restored, and even the hall was painted with red paint to show the tragic degree of the massacre at that time.

After Leo entered the hall, he didn't focus on the artificially arranged scenes, but looked up towards the roof.

In fact, compared to Su and Mira who only had a vague feeling of the malicious power in the castle, Leo's spiritual vision is more intuitive and clearer, because Leo's spiritual vision not only contains the eye of truth The power of the web weaver, and the power of the web weaver, the greatest ability of the web weaver is to capture souls, so all the souls trapped in the castle are clearly seen by him at this moment, even when these souls die The appearance is completely displayed.

When he entered the castle and felt something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, Leo turned on his spirit vision and saw the real appearance of the castle. On the surface, the castle’s buildings were built of stones, but in Leo’s eyes, In his spiritual vision, these stones were skulls, and the victims of the massacre all stood in the room formed by the skulls, waiting maliciously for the strangers in the castle square.

This kind of malice is not the malice formed by subjective thoughts, but the instinctive hatred of the dead towards the living, which means that these evil spirits in the castle do not have real thoughts and ideas.

So many souls have been trapped in the castle for so many years, and no web weavers have come down to take these souls, and even these souls cannot leave those buildings, so it can be seen that there is something hidden in this castle that others do not know.

So he tried to use his spiritual vision to find the source of the entire castle's power, and soon found the target, which was the castle hall.

And when he entered the castle hall, the wandering souls in the hall smelled the unique aura of the living on him, and gathered over in an instant, pulling the vitality out of him.

If it is an ordinary person, facing the invasion of so many wandering spirits, he will definitely feel the surroundings are extremely cold, and even after staying for a long time, he will feel weak, dizzy, etc., and may eventually die.

But Leo is different, not only the psionic power in his body is enough to stop these wandering souls, but the mark of the web weaver can even exert a strong suppression on these wandering souls, making those wandering souls who can only act according to instinct feel The fear that ordinary people have is that when they get close, they are frightened and back away crazily, but after a while, they will return to their original shape, approach again, and be scared away by the mark of the web weaver again.

Leo didn't care about these wandering souls that could be easily destroyed. After entering the hall, his eyes fell on the roof at the top of the hall. Although so many years have passed, the dome of the castle hall is still well preserved, even The pattern on the dome is still very clear, just like the new painting.

In an extremely humid environment like a swamp, it is good enough for a mural to last for two years without any fading or mildew without any repairs. If it is ten years, it may have already peeled off .

Therefore, the officials and architects who were in charge of repairing the castle and preparing for the follow-up tour felt incredible after seeing this brand-new mural. It also attracted the attention of the outside world, and many newspapers even reported it specifically. Even if those newspapers were not popular small newspapers, it also increased the popularity of Josburg in disguise.

When Leo was in the apartment, he read a lot of newspapers from the Kingdom of England in the past, accumulated data in the brain database, and naturally saw some reports about Old Johnsburg. At first, he just thought it was Josburg County In order to obtain more tourist resources, some promotions have been made. After all, after this report, there must be many people who want to go to Joshburg to see the mysterious oil painting, which will actually attract more tourists.

But after seeing the murals on the top, Leo knew that his previous judgment was wrong. These murals were not simple murals, but contained a very complicated Turing root.

This Turing root is composed of tangled patterns. Because of the ingenuity of the designer, the patterns are perfectly integrated into other groups of the picture, and through the cover of paint, the entire surface of the picture cannot see any abnormalities at all. .

It has to be said that if Leo could directly see the flow of various forces around him without his spirit vision, it would be difficult for him to discover the Turing characters hidden in the picture and under the picture without destroying the mural on the top. root.

Its complexity is almost the same as the three-dimensional root he saw on the outskirts of Miria City. It is difficult for him to find useful content from this Turing root, and even because of the complicated winding method, he can't even remember it. It is impossible to live in this Turing radical.

Obviously, the mural on the top should have existed at the beginning of the castle's construction, and as the lord Earl Josh at that time, he should also know this secret. It seems that Earl Josh will build the castle here, which contains other meanings. In addition, about The massacre in Schburg may not be as simple as it appears.

"It shouldn't be accidental that the entrance and exit of Death Valley appear here." Leo looked at the Turing root at the top, and said to himself: "Why did the tower wizard do this? Is it just to place a fragment of the Emerald Dream?" ?”

Undoubtedly, in Leo's view, only the Tower Wizard can describe such a complicated Turing root, and the Tower Wizard would choose to arrange such a Turing root, and even let Earl Drake The only surviving sorcerer was sitting here, and it was obvious that all of this was definitely not a whim. Here, or the Death Valley leading to it, must have hidden a secret that the tower sorcerer would do his best to cover up.

"Things are getting interesting now." Leo didn't feel worried about the dangers he would encounter, but instead showed an excited smile. During the days in Port of Sete, he felt that his life was a bit too ordinary Now, being able to encounter an interesting thing now naturally makes him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Leo raised his head and stared carefully at the roots of Turing on it again, trying to remember them, but no matter how he remembered, he still felt that there was an error in the content of his memory, which also made him sure that the tower wizard who arranged here might be doing something on it. With some tricks, unless the correct interpretation method is found, forced memory will only remember a wrong pattern.

After confirming that he couldn't remember the root of Turing at all, Leo didn't continue to force, looked away, turned around and prepared to leave the hall. But suddenly he stopped again, turned his head to look at the wandering souls around him, and said, "If you continue to exist, it will only cause you pain, shall I help you out?"

After speaking, he saw him take out a soul bonfire trap from the storage space, activate it with psionic energy, and throw it on the ground in front of him.

After Leo's improvement, the effect of the soul bonfire trap on attracting souls has become stronger, and the ability of runes to transform souls has also increased several times. When Leo stimulates the soul bonfire runes, the surrounding wandering souls Forgetting about Leo, the stranger they hated, they all rushed towards the trap like crazy, burned into ashes by the runes, and the essence of the soul was condensed into soul crystals in the trap.

Although these wandering souls shouldn't have any thoughts, Leo could vaguely see that when these wandering souls were reduced to ashes, they all had relieved smiles on their faces, and they were looking at him gratefully.

There were many wandering souls in the hall, but they couldn't withstand the continuous transformation of the soul bonfire trap, and soon all the wandering souls were cleared away. Even though the surrounding air was still cold, it was no longer so malicious.

He picked up the soul bonfire trap again, dispelled the psionic energy on it, checked the wear and tear, and took it back to the storage space, then picked up the soul crystal stones on the ground and put them away, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Did something happen?" When Leo walked out of the hall and came to the square in front of the castle, Su and Mira, who had sensed abnormal movements in the hall just now, asked at the same time.

"It's nothing, just solved some small troubles." Leo responded flatly, thought for a while, and then told what happened just now and his own discovery. The reason why he said it was because he had There is too little information on the Internet, and no more information related to Old Josburg can be found. If you speak out now, you may be able to learn more useful information from other people around you.

However, after listening to Leo's words, everyone around them reacted differently. Neither the members of the wolf gang nor the three extraordinary people had seen a ghost, and they couldn't feel the abnormal movement in the hall just now. So after hearing Leo's words, although they thought it might be true, they didn't think so in their hearts, and only regarded Leo's words as a story to talk about.

Compared with these people, the expressions of Su, Mira, and Willis have all changed. It is not difficult to see the changes in the expressions of Su and Mira. It should be because Leo's ability is somewhat beyond their expectations, because Even they have never heard of any witchcraft that can be used to deal with wandering souls. It seems that abilities involving souls are the exclusive abilities of gods.

The only thing that Leo paid special attention to was Willis's reaction. His expression became a little strange, he seemed a little surprised, and he seemed a little relieved as if he had figured out something, but it was more of worry and concern. concern.

"Mr. Willis, did you remember something?" Leo asked directly.

"I...I want to confirm one thing." Willis hesitated for a moment, then walked quickly into the hall of the castle, stood at the entrance, looked up at the mural above his head, with his eyesight even in the dark The details of those murals can still be seen clearly.

After seeing the whole pattern, Willis didn't show any relief on his face, on the contrary, he was even more confused. After walking back, he couldn't help but wondered in his heart, and asked Leo, "Mr. Leo, what are you doing?" Do you really see that there are... any radicals in the pattern on it?"
