The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you know what the abyss is?" Leo didn't answer Mira's question directly, but asked back.

"Huh?" Mira couldn't answer for a while, she could only know from the shaman's record that it was not a good thing.

"This is just my guess, and there are too few reference data," Leo said without saying anything, looking at Willis who was still in a daze, and said, "But I think the tower wizard should be in Death Valley." There are some things left inside. Those things should record the origin of Death Valley, but the tower wizard has arranged some forbidden powers on it. Only those who understand the root of Turing can break these forbidden powers, so there will be in Death Valley. Saying that."

Hearing Leo's words, Willis nodded slightly, and did not express too much confusion or doubt, but Mira could feel that Leo had something to say, and wanted to ask, but Leo But he had already turned around and walked towards other houses in the castle, ignoring Mira's reaction at all, which made her very angry.

Just like in the hall, every time Leo goes to a controlled room, he will use the soul bonfire trap to clear the wandering souls in this room, and at the same time look for other clues in these houses that may be related to the tower wizard. After the action, it was already dark.

Except for Su, Mira and the others who knew what Leo was doing in and out of those houses, the others were a little puzzled by Leo's actions, but they could all clearly feel the movement of Leo entering and leaving the houses. The number increased, and the chilly aura around them that made them feel strong and malicious was rapidly weakening.

When Leo walked out of the last controlled house, the cold atmosphere had completely disappeared. Everyone could clearly feel the increase in the surrounding temperature, and the invisible pressure was also relieved a lot. Those who know can't help feeling awe towards Leo, even if they don't know what Leo has done.

After Leo dealt with the wandering spirits inside Old Johns Fort, he did not return to the bonfire, but walked up the dilapidated castle wall, climbed up a broken tower at a corner of the wall, and stood on the top of the tower overlooking the The entire forest outside Josburg.

Because there is no trimming, the forest is already full of various swamp plants. These plants are mixed with the trees originally planted here, covering the entire area. Although the number of these swamp plants is very large, because the swamp plants are either some low vegetation plants, or some vine-like parasitic plants, all in all, these plants are still very different from the tall plants that were originally transplanted here from other places. Leo didn't need to spend too much experience to extract the original plants of the forest in his mind and rebuild them into the most primitive forest map.

When the most primitive forest layout came to mind, Leo immediately linked this pattern with the location map of each building in the castle to form a new pattern.

The moment he saw this pattern, Leo's guess about the tower wizard became more and more certain, because this pattern was a huge Turing root, but what confused him was that the Turing root seemed incomplete .

"Where did something go wrong?" Leo frowned, and after scanning around the castle, he landed on the artificial lake beside the castle that had turned into a swamp, with a look of surprise on his face, and said : "The missing piece is there."

While talking, I saw him jumping off the city wall and walking towards the artificial lake.

Beside the bonfire in the castle, Su, Mira and the others didn't understand what Leo was doing now, but they guessed that it might have something to do with what Leo found in the hall just now.

Their strong curiosity made them want to follow up and ask Leo, but they also learned about Elio's character from the situation just now. If he wanted them to know, he would definitely tell him. If he didn't want to, even if they asked, he might not You will get a half-word response.

It's just that, compared to Su's mere curiosity, Mira is more worried. This worry comes from the abyss. This is when Mira is sitting by the campfire, she always looks at Willis. .

Although Mira's sight is very hidden, Willis can still feel it, but he can only pretend that he doesn't know anything. He knows very well that Mira's behavior is all because of that abyss, and he is also very curious about it. , which made him look forward to returning to his hometown more and more.

Just when the people around the campfire had their own thoughts, Leo had already come to the side of the artificial lake alone, and penetrated the spiritual net into the silt of the artificial lake, and soon he found what he was looking for , a huge foundation designed to prevent the seepage of stagnant water.

This foundation is made of a whole piece of rock. Judging from the unique manufacturing methods on the surface, this rock should be made in the same way as the stone ball that sealed the Eye of Reality outside the city of Miria. A piece of well-polished rock is also covered with Turing scripts.

Leo easily used the mental net to rub the root of Turing on the rock into his mind, and pieced it together with the previous overall map of Joshburg, filling in the previous vacancy.

After completion, Leo brought in the Turing radical layout method he had obtained from Willis before, and soon the Turing radical of the entire Old Johnsburg was deciphered by him.

Although this Turing root composed of castles, forests and artificial lakes is related to the Turing root in the hall, it exists independently, and its complexity is far from being comparable to the Turing root in the hall , with Leo's current grasp of the root of Turing, he can barely decipher the meaning of this root of Turing, and this meaning seems to be somewhat similar to the stone ball outside the city of Miria, which is used to seal some kind of something.

"What a powerful Turing root!" After analyzing the general meaning of the Turing root, Leo's face was still calm, but his heart was already full of shock.

Because he discovered that the root of Turing was finally linked to the earth. If the stone ball outside Miria city blocked the Eye of Reality solely by the power generated by its own three-dimensional root, then the current picture The root of the spirit is to rely on the power of the entire earth to seal that unknown thing.

And this discovery made him suddenly realize that there was a big mistake in his understanding.

In the past, he always believed that the Gamore language was temporarily divided into three levels. One is the basic radical, which is written down as the Turing radical, and then down is the three-dimensional radical. The difficulty of the three levels gradually increases, and the resulting The power of the word has also doubled, so in his heart he has divided the three root forms into high and low.

But now he finds that it is not the case at all. The basic root is the source of everything, and there is no difference between the Turing root and the three-dimensional root. They are just branches of the development and evolution of the two roots. The Turing root feels It may not be as powerful as the three-dimensional root, but in fact, taking the current Turing root as an example, its power is definitely stronger than the stone ball outside the city of Miria.

Moreover, this is only part of it. There is a more complex Turing root in the castle hall. The effect of the combination of the two is definitely not as simple as one plus one. From this point of view, the final development form of the Turing root Certainly not worse than the three-dimensional font, and even better than the three-dimensional font in terms of ease of use, at least now Leo has almost no progress in mastering the three-dimensional font.

Although he hasn't officially entered Death Valley yet, he is already very satisfied with this trip. Even if he didn't get the Seagod Artifact in the end and the transaction failed, he still gained a lot.

With a satisfied smile, Leo returned to the castle, sat by the campfire and leaned against a gravel, looking very leisurely.

Su and the others could see that Leo's mood seemed to have improved a lot, and they couldn't help wondering what Leo had experienced in such a short time outside the castle.

However, they were so smart that they didn't ask these curious but unimportant questions, but took advantage of Leo's good mood to ask other useful questions.

"Can you talk about the abyss?" When Su was about to speak, Mira asked first.

"I've said before that I don't know much about the abyss." Leo casually repeated the answer just now, but when Mira showed a disappointed look, he added: "However, there is one point that your opinion is correct. Yes, the abyss is very dangerous."

"Can you be more specific?" Su saw Leo stopped, and couldn't help interjecting, asking.

Leo put away his smile, became very serious, and said: "The abyss is the root of all malice. It is under all the worlds. Once the world begins to perish, the power of the abyss will pass through the world barrier and penetrate into this world. In a world that is about to perish, drag this world into the abyss, just like the Emerald Dream."

When Leo's voice fell, not only Su, Mira, and Willis, the three people who cared about the abyss, but also other people gathered because of curiosity or other boring reasons,

It's just that these people obviously didn't take Leo's words seriously. After all, things like the destruction of a world and being dragged into the abyss sounded too absurd, so they just listened to these words as anecdotes to pass the time.

But Su, Mira, and Willis are completely different. They all take Leo's words seriously, especially Mira, who has read the shaman's notes, agrees with Leo's words very much, but she also wonders what Leo said. know these things.

"How do you know these things?" Just when Mira was about to ask, Willis couldn't help being curious and asked the same question.

Leo didn't answer, but just raised his left hand, let go of the suppression of the abyss snake's eyeballs, and released the power of the abyss snake.

I saw that a black oil-like substance suddenly gushed out of Leo's hand. This substance condensed into a ball and suspended in the air.

Although it looks like ordinary black oil on the surface, everyone who sees this lump of black oil will feel a trembling from the heart, and this trembling feeling cannot be stopped by any force, even at the back, some people There is even a sense of suffocation, feeling that my soul is being pulled out of the body by some force.

Before everyone's hearts were shrouded in this inexplicable fear, Leo re-sealed the eyes of the abyss snake, and the black oil fell back into Leo's hands because of the loss of support, and disappeared.

When the black oil disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them sat limply on the ground, gasping for breath, as if a drowning person had just climbed onto the shore.

Su and Mira are right next to Leo, and they are also the closest to the black ball. The inexplicable fear they feel is stronger than others, and they even have hallucinations, feeling that they are going into an unfathomable darkness. They fell, and there were countless malicious consciousnesses in the darkness that enveloped them, trying to drag them into a deeper darkness.

"What is this?" Panting heavily, Su looked at Leo with lingering fear, and asked in a flustered tone.

"That's the abyss." Leo responded.

"Why do you..." Mira couldn't help the surprise in her heart and asked, but just as she said the words, she felt that it was inappropriate to question Leo like this, so she stopped and swallowed the words back.

However, Leo did not hesitate to answer, and said very frankly: "Do you want to ask why I can use the power of the abyss?"

Mira nodded slightly.

"I just got an item from the abyss by accident." Leo replied calmly.

"But why haven't you been eroded by the abyss?" Seeing that Leo answered without hesitation, Mira let go of her worries and asked in a deep voice.

It's no wonder that Mira has such doubts, because from the shaman records she saw, the power of the abyss is extremely corrosive. Even if the tower wizard sticks to a little black oil, it will be eroded by the power of the abyss. If it is dealt with in time, it will even become an indescribable abyssal monster.

If it wasn't for the fact that Leo didn't show any signs of being corroded by the abyss, and he had absolute control over the abyss in his hands, maybe Mira thought that Leo had been completely corroded by the abyss.

"Because I happen to have something that restrains the power of the abyss." Leo didn't intend to answer directly, but responded vaguely.

At this time, Willis suddenly asked: "Lord Leo, you just said that my ancestors came from the abyss? Why did I feel very scared when I saw that thing just now? And if the abyss is full of such things, then we How can people live in the abyss?"

"You got two concepts wrong, first of all, your ancestors came from the abyss, but it doesn't mean that you also come from the abyss." Leo said tirelessly: "Just because you can't survive in the abyss doesn't mean your ancestors can't. Those worlds that are dragged into the abyss are not necessarily completely destroyed, they may still linger in the abyss in the form of fragments, as long as the world fragments are not completely swallowed, those who remain in the fragments can still survive."
