The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Psychic life!" The moment he entered the room, Leo didn't need to identify it carefully, he was sure that the heart came from the tree man created by the spirit of nature, and it was probably an ancient tree man.

The Earth Federation used to have an ancient tree man's heart for a period of time, and conducted special research on it. At that time, Leo's biochemical troop served as the defense of the test base, and also performed guards when the heart was transferred. Task.

Because of the convenience of his position, Leo once touched the heart of the ancient tree man at a very close distance, and it was precisely because of that contact that he felt the breath of life, and for the first time he felt the pulse of his own life , began to recognize the existence of the self.

From a certain point of view, Leo was able to develop self-awareness later, and a large reason was the impact of life psionic energy from the heart of the ancient tree man, so he had a very strong feeling for this specific psionic energy.

Different from the treant weapons created by the spirit of nature later, the ancient tree man was a creature created by the spirit of nature at the beginning, but because he didn't like it, he finally gave up this life template and recreated other satisfactory lives.

Although the ancient tree people are also classified into the tree man weapons and are regarded as the generals of the tree man weapons, they are not tree man weapons, they are real life forms, so the heart does not have the function of recording data.

Perhaps because the ancient tree man was the first life created by the spirit of nature, the spirit of nature endowed this life with a very special kind of spiritual power, which is also unique in the universe. It's called life energy.

For the study of life psionic energy, all advanced civilizations in the universe have been secretly conducting research, but all of them without exception have no results. The only thing that is certain is life psionic energy, which has a strong effect on prolonging life and promoting growth.

This is why the life of the ancient tree man can surpass many high-level omega life forms. Even if he falls into a black hole, as long as there are still some remains containing life and spiritual energy, he can still be resurrected.

This also makes the ancient tree people not much different from the Omega-level high-level life forms even if they are not Omega-level high-level life forms.

However, what puzzled Leo was the tree man's heart at the top of the room, because he felt that the life energy in this heart was too weak, and it was not as vast and extensive as the ancient tree man at all, as if the ancient tree man was a Newborns are normal.

But the problem is because the spirit of nature didn't give them the ability to reproduce when they created the ancient tree people, so the number of ancient tree people in the universe is always a constant.

However, the tree man's heart now obviously came from a dead tree man. Compared with the ancient tree man, the life energy in the heart was very weak, which was obviously contrary to the situation of the ancient tree man himself.

Just when Leo's attention fell on the tree man's heart, the others were also attracted by the tree man's heart, because after they entered this room, they immediately felt the changes in their bodies, mental exhaustion and body pain. The pain, and even some old injuries, are slowly healing.

"This belongs to the tribe and should not be controlled by you!" Sensing the power of the tree man's heart, Mira repeated the old story again.

The old wizard smiled. He didn't refute Mira's words, nor did he have the idea of ​​arguing. Instead, he signaled everyone to sit down freely, and then let the others back down. Then he said to Leo: "Mr. Leo, I want to ask you Does the employment agreement with the royal family still exist?"

"Of course." Leo said without thinking, "I will still do my best to find the Seagod Artifact here, and then give it to Sean, and then take the reward I deserve from him."

Hearing Leo's words, Su frowned, but quickly returned to a nonchalant look.

After the old wizard received a positive reply, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, but his smile didn't last too long, and was lost by Leo's additional words.

I only heard Leo continue to say: "My reward is all of Earl Drake's wizard inheritance, please remember that it is all, if I don't get what I want, then Sean is equivalent to breaking the contract, he Not only will he not be able to obtain the Seagod Artifact, but he will also need to compensate me for the loss, otherwise I will take some necessary measures to make him understand that not everyone can be easily counted."

The smile on the old wizard's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified expression. It was obvious that Leo's answer pushed him into a corner. Although Leo said it was Sean, he actually aimed at him He came from a scheming man.

Anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that Earl Drake's inheritance must be in the hands of the old wizard. If he doesn't take out the inheritance and give it to Leo as a reward, then Leo can use this as an excuse to cancel The previous employment agreement even allowed Sean to be held accountable.

Although Sean himself is not a very important person, he is a core member of the Donald family, and has been working hard to restore the royal family to its former glory. He even retrieved the Poseidon scepter and returned it to the royal family. of.

If Sean was abandoned as an abandoned son this time, then I am afraid that the entire Donald family will reconsider their relationship with the royal family.

In today's era when the power of the royal family is weakening day by day, the Donald family is one of the few aristocratic families who are extremely loyal to the royal family and meticulously help the royal family. They are also the core prince faction.

If the Donald family had withdrawn from the prince's camp because of Sean's incident, it would definitely hit the current trend of the royal family's rising prestige and power.

What's more serious is the reaction of other princely families to this matter. They saw that the most loyal Donald family was treated in this way, so how will these families be treated when the royal family encounters some difficulties?

A lot of thoughts appeared in the old wizard's mind in an instant, and he fell into the judgment of gains and losses. However, in the eyes of others, the old wizard's silence was more like a kind of pressure, a kind of mental pressure on Leo. .

However, Leo looked very relaxed, looking around the room, very leisurely.

After a while, the old wizard seemed to have figured it out, sighed softly, and said, "I can hand over Earl Drake's inheritance to you according to the agreement, so I also hope that you can really give the artifact to you according to the employment agreement." Take back."

Seeing the compromising expression on the old wizard's face, Leo was not very happy, because obviously the value of Earl Drake's inheritance was not as great as he expected, otherwise, as a wizard, how could he be willing to pay for a piece of land? Unusable god artifacts give up the tower wizard's legacy.

"Of course, as long as I should get a good reward, I will naturally follow the agreement." Leo suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart, then looked at the old wizard very seriously, and said: "However, before that, I hope you can tell me the truth, what is going on here? And where is the Seagod artifact?"

As Leo's inquiry fell, the expressions of the other people around became more focused, and they were also curious about the changes in this place and the abyss.

The old wizard was silent for a while, and finally nodded. At Leo's request, he explained the origin of Death Valley and what happened here in detail. It was confirmed that what the old wizard said was not fabricated casually.

As Mira had previously suspected, Death Valley was indeed formed from fragments of the Emerald Dream.

When the wizard and the shaman divided the Emerald Dream back then, although the wizard's vision was well prepared to capture every piece of the Emerald Dream as much as possible, there were still some fish that slipped through the net, and these fragments fell to various parts of the Velen world. place.

Most of these fragments will be assimilated by the world of Velen, and only a few fragments with special powers will survive, and the power that allows the fragments to survive and develop may come from the disappeared Lord of Nature, or it may be is from the abyss.

The tower wizard has been looking for such fragments of the Emerald Dream since then, either destroying them, or taking them back for use, such as the subspace space left by the tower wizard that Leo saw in Venaya Port. It was a fragment of the Emerald Dream.

Normally, the fragment of the Emerald Dream in Death Valley would be destroyed because it was contaminated with the power of the abyss, but when the tower wizard found it, he found that there were already people living in this fragment, and They also found that these people were not from the world of Velen, and they also had a certain resistance to the power of the abyss.

These discoveries made the tower wizards curious, so they gave up their original plan and left Death Valley instead, and built a wizard tower in Death Valley to supply them with researching the mysteries of the abyss.

After that, things were quiet for many years. The first group of people who settled in Death Valley had died. The wizard specially recruited some men and women from the outside to allow these people to reproduce, because the wizard felt that these people’s resistance to the governance of death, It should be related to their physique, so as long as their blood is maintained, this physique can be preserved forever.

In order to keep the secret of Death Valley, they also arranged for someone to join the Kingdom of England, becoming a nobleman of the Kingdom of England, and obtained Josh County as a territory, which was the original Earl of Josh.

Earl Josh specially built Josh Fort, and the tower wizard arranged the Turing root, which not only sealed Death Valley, prevented the power of Death Valley from spreading to the world of Velen, but also opened up a road from Josh Fort to Death Valley. Passage, with the convenience of Earl Josh, to deliver some daily necessities to the people in Death Valley.

During this period of time, not all the tower wizards stayed in Death Valley. They would send a tower wizard to sit in Death Valley every once in a while and continue their research on the abyss.

Originally, everything was very peaceful. If there were no accidents, Death Valley would maintain this state of balance for a long time until the tower wizard disappeared.

However, until a high tower wizard was no longer satisfied with studying the power of the abyss and the people in Death Valley, he had a whim and wanted to enter the abyss to see what the abyss looked like.

In order to be able to open the abyss rift, this high tower wizard even did not hesitate to secretly create the Josh Fort massacre, borrowing a large number of sacrifices of life to temporarily suppress the power of Turing's root in Josh Fort.

No one knows whether this tower wizard really entered the abyss in the end, but it is known that this wizard conducted some experiments on the residents of Death Valley for a long time afterwards, and created werewolves, vampires and eagles. There are three groups of people.

And when the time to replace the garrison was about to come, the high tower wizard disappeared. When other high tower wizards sensed something was wrong and rushed over, they could not find the high tower wizard, and Death Valley also disappeared. It has become unrecognizable, and the worst thing is that there is already an abyss crack in Death Valley.

The tower wizard managed to temporarily seal the rift, and then hunted down all the way according to the traces left by the tower wizard.

The reason why they hunted down the tower wizard so persistently was not because they hated the tower wizard so much, but because they were worried that that colleague had an uncontrollable abyss item in hand, and they who had seen the destruction of the Emerald Dream They are very aware of the dangers of the power of the abyss, and they are very worried that the world of Velen will become the next Emerald Dream.

However, not all of them were chasing that colleague, they still stayed alone in Death Valley, and that person was Earl Drake.

Earl Drake has been sitting in Death Valley, waiting for his companions, but what he didn't expect was that his companions never showed up again, and there was a loophole in the temporary ban built by the tower wizard before, and the abyss fissure reappeared.

In order to re-seal the rift, Earl Drake thought of using the Poseidon artifact passed down from generation to generation by the British royal family.

However, the English royal family only had the Poseidon scepter in their hands at that time, so they were naturally unwilling to hand it over to Drake, who was not the earl at the time, but they thought of a compromise, that is, they would tell the whereabouts of another Poseidon artifact. Give it to Drake, let him get it by himself, but Drake must pay a certain price in exchange for this news, and this price is to help the Kingdom of Engel take away the supremacy of the sea from the Kingdom of Sigmar.

Drake agreed to this condition, and in the next few years, he fought around the sea as a pirate captain, attacking and destroying the routes of the Kingdom of Sigmar, gradually weakening the sea power of the Kingdom of Sigmar, and finally in that decisive battle, helped The Kingdom of Yingge solved the Armada of the Kingdom of Sigma, fulfilled his promise, and obtained the whereabouts of the Sea God artifact.

Afterwards, no one knew exactly how Earl Drake found the Seagod artifact, except that he found the artifact and brought it back to the Kingdom of England.

The British royal family hoped to regain the Seagod Artifact through the exchange of power, but Earl Drake did not agree, and finally brought the Seagod Artifact back to Death Valley, serving as an important item to suppress the cracks in the ban.
