The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The old wizard smiled bitterly, walked to his desk, raised his hand and pressed a crystal ball on the desk, and then shot out several rays of light from the surrounding walls, converging together, and after a burst of flashes, a dead Gu's panoramic fantasy appeared in the air, except for Leo who was used to seeing holographic images, everyone else in the room couldn't help but marvel at this magical scene.

The old wizard who had been observing Leo and the others was a little surprised by Leo's calm reaction. He froze for a moment, then returned to normal, then pointed to the fantasy of the panoramic view of Death Valley, and said, "Do you think it is necessary to do so in the current situation?" Continue to seal it? And with your and my abilities, how can it be possible to seal the abyss fissure?"

I saw that with the movement of the old wizard's fingers, the panorama of Death Valley began to enlarge one by one. In these scenes, all of them were mutated creatures infected by the power of the abyss. Without exception, these mutated creatures all became incomparable. Ugly and weird, and every mutated part is full of aggressiveness, such as some kind of venom nozzle protruding from the body, some kind of horny skin comparable to a sword, and so on.

Leo's line of sight also quickly scanned with the changes in the scene, and he felt a little puzzled in his heart, because he did not see the black oily substance after the erosion of the abyss, which means that the erosion of the abyss has not yet reached its peak. It is completely irreversible like Wangcheng.

But even so, the entire Death Valley can be regarded as being completely manipulated by the power of the abyss. Even if the tower wizard comes, I am afraid that he will be helpless in the face of this situation.

What's more, as the old wizard said, with their abilities, even if the tower wizard left behind a way to seal the entrance to the abyss, I'm afraid they would not be able to complete it.

"What about taking the Seagod artifact?" Leo asked again: "What should we do here? Just let it be swallowed by the abyss like this? Don't you worry that after this place is swallowed by the abyss, the abyss will use this to seep into Velen outside?" ?"

Leo's inquiry made everyone present pay close attention. Having seen the consequences of the erosion of the abyss, they naturally don't want Velen's world to become like Death Valley. This is not only related to their own safety, but also because they are in Velen There are still many concerns.

The old wizard said very confidently: "Don't worry about this, the tower wizard left a last resort before, as long as Death Valley is completely eroded by the power of the abyss, that method will work, connecting Death Valley and Velen Cut off completely, and let Death Valley slide into the abyss by itself."

"Otto, you are really a loyal dog of the British royal family, and you still don't forget to help the British royal family get back the Sea God Artifact." Su said coldly: "Since the situation is so dangerous, why don't you use the tower wizard to stay now?" What about the method? Isn’t it more appropriate to use it now? There is a sea god artifact that restricts the abyss rift, and the power of the abyss here is not strong enough to cause adverse effects on Velen. After we leave, we can definitely motivate the former tower wizards to stay It is a last resort. It is too dangerous for you to take the Seagod Artifact now. If we take the Seagod Artifact, the abyss rift suddenly expands, and the last resort is touched before we leave, then don’t we also have to Do you suffer?"

Hearing Su's words, the faces of most people in the room became ugly. Although Su was only guessing, this guess is very likely to become a fact. monster.

However, Leo heard that there were other meanings hidden in Su's words, because if he followed Su's suggestion, then Su's mission could be said to have been successfully completed, and it would also make Mira, the enemy, never be able to recover. And getting the tree man's heart at the top of the room can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did the old wizard not refute Su's words, but he nodded and said, "That's right, your guess is indeed very likely." But he changed the subject and said, "But I just know that the tower wizard arranged such a last resort. , I don’t know what this method is at all, and I don’t know how to activate it, so the best way is to take away the Sea God’s artifact and completely unseal the abyss rift, so that it is possible to activate this method.”

Although the old wizard's explanation was not problematic, everyone had already become suspicious because of Su's words. Coupled with the old wizard's reputation as a court wizard, the old wizard's explanation was somewhat pale. On the contrary, Su's doubts were more in line with the old wizard's loyalty to the royal family. image, so this explanation did not produce much effect, and everyone still had doubts about the old wizard's intentions.

"Is Earl Drake still alive?" At this moment, a Transcendent suddenly thought of a key question and asked.

"I don't know." The old wizard shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since he went to the abyss fissure." Then, he paused again, and said with some embarrassment: "But , even if he is alive, he is probably no longer a human being."

After the old wizard said these words, everyone's faces became a little ugly, because the monster turned into by an ordinary person is completely different from the monster turned into by a tower wizard.

A transcendent couldn't help shouting: "Are you kidding? Let's deal with a tower wizard!"

Although none of the people present had seen the Tower Wizard, after all, they had been in the dark world for many years, and had heard about the Tower Wizard more or less, and some of them had even seen the Tower Wizard All kinds of relics left over from the past years, wizards and wonders made by high tower wizards, etc., so they have long regarded high tower wizards as being close to gods in their hearts.

But now on the road ahead of them, there is a tower wizard turned monster waiting for them, even the optimistic people can't see any chance of winning in it.

Only Leo still had a calm expression, as if he didn't know what kind of existence the tower wizard was, but after staring at the old wizard for a while, he said: "If I'm not wrong, since you are right to take away If the Seagod Artifact is so confident, then there must be a way to deal with Earl Drake, right?"

Because of Leo's guess, everyone's eyes focused on the old wizard again.

The old wizard did not deny it, nodded, and said, "There is indeed a way, but I don't know if it can be used."

"Why do you say that?" Someone asked.

The old wizard explained: "Because this method was thought of by Earl Drake himself."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, not understanding what the old wizard meant.

The old wizard further explained: "Count Drake left a method when he entered the abyss, and told me that if he was completely infected by the abyss, I could use this method to kill him , and get everything back to normal.”

Everyone frowned, and the attentive Su said in a deep voice: "I remember that Earl Drake was already infected by the abyss at that time? Was what he said and the method he gave really useful?"

With that said, everyone has no idea.

"Can I know the method?" Only Leo still asked curiously.

Although Judging from various invitations to Kungang, although Earl Drake is a tower wizard, he is obviously not the strongest part of the tower wizards, otherwise he would not be allowed to stay here.

However, even according to Leo's estimate, Earl Drake's strength is at least equivalent to a seventh-level psyker. Such a powerful strength is still not something that a fifth-level psyker can deal with. , Psionic power and life level will have a leap-like improvement, entering another completely different level.

But it's not without chance now, because even if they are both seventh-level psykers, there is a difference in the difficulty of dealing with a wizard with wisdom and a monster who has lost his mind.

Leo knows from the information obtained from the eyeball of the abyss serpent that any external creature eroded by the abyss will mutate. Some mutations will make the creature stronger, but some mutations will make the creature weaker. It's just that before all the mutations occur, the body affected Infested creatures lose their minds and eventually go insane due to the ever-present whisper of the abyss. This is unavoidable, even a god as powerful as Wangcheng will be affected, but the strength of the influence is different.

Therefore, if Earl Drake was in a state of being affected by the power of the abyss when he left the old wizard with the means to deal with him, he would definitely not have such a clear way of thinking. That method probably came from Earl Drake original intention.

Hearing Leo's words, the old wizard hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up, walked to the desk, and under the gaze of everyone, opened a shadow box engraved with the root of Turing, and took out a silver-white cube from it , walked back in front of everyone, spread it out in his hands, and showed it to everyone.

When they saw this silver-white square, Su and the others all showed doubts on their faces, because this square was so ordinary, like an ordinary piece of metal, the only thing worth noting was this metal piece Well polished, the surface is as smooth as a mirror.

However, when everyone's eyes were focused on the cube, they didn't see the frightened expression on Leo's face at the moment. Instead, he moved his body back, as if he wanted to stay as far away from this block as possible.

In fact, the moment the old wizard took out the thing just now, Leo had already recognized what it was, and instinctively wanted to run away.

The reason why he had such a big reaction was because the thing in the hands of the old wizard was too dangerous. It was an antimatter bomb, and it was an antimatter bomb without any safety devices or protective shells.

Leo, who has used this extreme weapon to destroy enemy warships and fortresses more than once, of course knows how terrifying this thing is, and knows every detail of it, so he feels panic in his heart.

Not to mention that this seemingly small antimatter bomb is enough to destroy the entire valley where the wizard tower is located after activation. Just because there is no protective device, the radiation generated by the exposed antimatter core can prevent any life form from evolving to Fatal mutations occur in the body of a person in an advanced state.

However, he soon calmed down, because if it really exploded or was exposed to radiation, then he might not be able to escape now, and more importantly, he found that the antimatter core was actually in the absence of a suppressor. down, in a stable state.

Keeping antimatter in a stable state in a natural state has always been an insurmountable problem. Although there are rumors that advanced cosmic civilizations have found a solution to the problem, this is always a rumor, and there is no public evidence to confirm this.

Now there are only two methods of using the antimatter core. One is to add the antimatter core when the spacecraft speeds up urgently, so that the instantaneous energy of the antimatter core will increase the speed of the spacecraft to the constant speed of the universe. Most space fighters are equipped with A similar device, designed to escape and evade attacks.

However, because of the unstable state of antimatter, this method of use is like a life gamble every time. If you win the bet, you will survive, and if you lose the bet, you will die of antimatter collapse. Therefore, before the moment of life and death, the fighter pilot This function is rarely used, and sometimes they are willing to be concentrated by the enemy's attack, and they are unwilling to use this function, because the probability of surviving after being hit is far higher than the probability of antimatter collapse.

Another method is to use anti-matter bombs. Compared with the speed-up activation device, the use of anti-matter bombs is relatively mature, and there are more protection measures. Otherwise, antimatter bombs will rarely detonate prematurely due to malfunctions.

However, because of the manufacturing process, the manufacturing technology of this antimatter bomb has always been in the hands of a few qualified advanced cosmic civilizations, and the Earth Federation is not among them, and the Via people are precisely one of the civilizations that have mastered this bomb manufacturing method. One, and this kind of bomb is also one of the most important commodities of the Via people. At least the Earth Federation buys a large number of such bombs from the Via people every year.

Leo also used anti-matter bombs made by the Via people when he was carrying out the mission, and all the knowledge he learned about anti-matter bombs was given to the Via people, which also made him calm down and carefully observe the old wizard. When the core of antimatter was found, it was immediately recognized that the producer of this core was the Via people.

At this time, Mila, who knew nothing about the core of antimatter, touched the core in a stable state, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't this a piece of ordinary metal? What's the use? Can it really be used?" Against Count Drake?"

And her behavior didn't make other people around feel abnormal, only Leo frowned involuntarily, and couldn't help feeling the urge to kill Mira directly.
