The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Following the guidance of the white deer, Leo looked towards the distance of the sea of ​​trees, and saw a very strange and huge mountain standing out of it in the distant forest. The reason why this mountain is very strange is because the mountain appears It is in the shape of an inverted triangle, and at the bottom is a small stone pillar with more than a dozen legs.

When Leo saw the mountain clearly, the illusion in front of him quickly disappeared, and the scene in front of him changed back to the Valley of Flowers.

"That is eternal wisdom?" Leo guessed.

"Yes." Bailu nodded, and then said with a little sarcasm: "A guy who looks weird, right?"

Leo did not agree with Bailu's ridicule, but continued to ask: "That upside-down mountain is the head of eternal wisdom?"

Bailu nodded and admitted, "Yes."

Leo said angrily: "Do you think that with my ability, there is a way to move such a head, bring it out from there, and give it to you?"

"Of course not." Bailu gave Leo a white look, and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? I'll let you do things you can't do."

Leo felt a little weird about Bailu's humane tone. After all, in his memory, no matter whether it was the gods in the world of Velen or the Omega-level advanced life forms in the universe, they would all have it without exception. The emotions of ordinary people are the same even for advanced life forms close to that level.

Bailu explained: "That big guy is just an illusion, the real head of eternal wisdom is at the foot of the mountain, under that stone pillar."

"What's the danger?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know." Bailu shook his head and said, "I've never been there, how could I know the danger."

Leo was silent for a while, and asked again: "What does the witch have to do with it? Why is the witch's ceremony performed there?"

When Bailu heard Leo's words, he was stunned for a moment, and said slightly surprised: "So you don't know the origin of the witch?"

Leo questioned: "Is the origin of the witch related to the Aishali Forest?"

"Yes." Bailu nodded and said: "The source of the witches is the Aishali Forest. They will return to the Aishali Forest to perform some rituals every once in a while. They call this ceremony homecoming." After a pause, he said, "You'd better investigate other matters related to the witch yourself. What I know may not be correct."

From Bailu's attitude, Leo felt that the origin of the witch was not as simple as he thought. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't continue to ask, but asked other things instead, saying: "Why didn't you find the witch? Wouldn't it be easier to find them?"

The white deer shook his head and said: "Just as the current Aishali Forest is a forbidden place for us, the places where the gods have fallen in the Aishali Forest are also forbidden places for them." He paused again, Said: "And I don't trust witches."

"Since you don't trust witches, do you trust me?" Leo frowned indistinctly, and said, "You must know that several witches and I are friends."

"Of course I don't trust you either." Bailu glanced at Leo, and then said with deep meaning: "However, I would rather try to trust a human being. I hope my attempt will achieve a satisfactory result this time."

When Leo heard Bailu's words, he felt something different in his heart. He could feel that Bailu's words had not only superficial meaning, but also a deeper meaning, but he didn't know this meaning for the time being. what is it.

Leo felt that the surrounding atmosphere became a little more serious after Bailu said these words, and a heavy power was faintly exuded from Bailu. Although Leo wanted to ask the deep meaning behind Bailu's words, he could also feel that his questioning would not have an answer, but would make the surrounding atmosphere more rigid, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he casually I found a question and asked, "Can you tell me what is the use of the head of eternal wisdom?"

Hearing Leo's question, Bailu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also seemed worried that Leo would ask some questions that were difficult for him to answer. Now that Leo took the initiative to change the subject, it was a good thing for him, so he followed Leo's question and replied: "For the memory in the head."

"The memory in the head?" Leo looked at the white deer puzzled.

The white deer sighed slightly, and continued: "Although the eternal wisdom has fallen, its knowledge and memory will not disappear, but will be preserved in his skull. What happened in the Aishali Forest back then? What caused so many gods to fall at the same time are questions that can only be answered in the skull of eternal wisdom."

Although Leo is also very interested in the answer that Bailu wants to find, after all, it is a terrifying power that can threaten high-level Omega life forms, but he also has self-knowledge, and now he is only seeking death when he comes into contact with this level of power. So his focus shifted to another secret matter hidden in Bai Lu's words just now, which reminded him of a legend in the universe about the rebirth of Omega-level advanced life forms.

"You just said that all the knowledge and memories of Eternal Wisdom are stored in the skull, so what will happen if I come into contact with this skull?" Leo asked with a serious expression, "Will Eternal Wisdom be reborn in me. "

"Human beings are smarter than I expected. It seems that I did not make a mistake in asking you for help." Bailu was a little surprised that Leo was able to discover this secret thing, and nodded appreciatively, and said without any concealment: "Actually, if you don't ask me, I will tell you that the head is indeed one of the means arranged by Eternal Wisdom for its own rebirth. Anyone who touches that head will be occupied by the memory and knowledge of Eternal Wisdom. The remaining power in the body will transform that person's body, and finally complete the rebirth of a god."

Leo asked: "Since you still let me take that head, do you have a way for me to avoid this situation?"

"No." Bailu shook his head and responded directly: "This situation is irreversible, there is no way to avoid it, and even if I have a way to avoid it, after arriving in Aishali Forest, my strength will also be affected by the forbidden area. Circumstances don't play any role."

When Leo heard Bailu's answer, he didn't show any strange emotions, because he could see that Bailu should have some follow-up words.

Sure enough, Bailu waited for a while, and before Leo continued to question, he gave Leo a deep look, as if saying that Leo was too uncooperative, and he should continue to ask at this time.

However, after seeing that Leo had no intention of asking, Bailu didn't hold back anymore, and directly revealed the answer, saying: "However, you don't have to worry about this question. It may be dangerous for other people, but for you As far as it is concerned, there will be no major problems, and there will be no fatal danger."

"Why?" Leo asked appropriately to annoy Bai Lu.

"I also want to know why," Bailu gave a vague answer, and then continued to add: "Your body is so special that it can accommodate any kind of divine power, and can resist the erosion of divine power, even Even the most corrosive power of the abyss can't affect you like a god, so you don't have to worry about the little tricks of eternal wisdom."

Leo didn't relax because of Bailu's explanation. Although he also felt that Bailu's words might be true, his state seemed to be able to form a certain resistance to divine power or any extraordinary power, but Eternal Wisdom is an omega after all. As a high-level life form, he is not sure that his special situation can still work in front of this high life level.

But Leo didn't shrink back because of this danger. Instead, his heart changed from a passive acceptance at the beginning to an eagerness to try now.

The reason why his mentality has changed so much is that the knowledge and memories stored in the eternal wisdom skull are not only interesting to Bailu, but also to him. He even felt that if he got the knowledge and memory of eternal wisdom, then the doubts in his mind might be solved, and he might also be able to find a way to leave Velen and return to the outer universe.

However, Leo's little thought did not escape Bailu's eyes, and he immediately warned: "You'd better not think about the knowledge and memory of eternal wisdom, those things are too chaotic and huge. His Knowledge is not only all the knowledge of the world of Velen, but also knowledge of other worlds, and even some knowledge of the abyss. Even he himself was driven crazy by this knowledge, and I dare not touch this knowledge. If you rashly accept this knowledge There is only one result, that is, your brain is muddled by this knowledge, or you become a complete lunatic."

Hearing Bailu's warning, Leo was silent for a while, and said, "When I touch the skull, knowledge will not be with memory..."

Before Leo finished speaking, Bailu gave an answer, saying: "No, don't worry, absolutely not!"

Although Bai Lu spoke so confidently, Leo didn't feel at ease, and he didn't continue to ask, but closed his eyes and meditated, as if to consider the pros and cons of this matter again.

The white deer didn't disturb Leo's meditation, and stood quietly beside him. He didn't seem to care whether Leo agreed to help him with this matter, but he glanced at Leo from time to time, which revealed that he was not in a good mood. As calm as it seems on the surface.

After a while, Leo suddenly opened his eyes and said to Bailu, "I'll take over this matter."

Hearing Leo's answer, Bailu smiled.

However, Leo then added: "However, I can't promise to bring out the skull. If there is a crisis that I can't handle, then I will choose to give up. I hope you can understand this."

"Of course." Bailu thought that Leo's request was reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

"In this case, our employment agreement has been reached." Leo also showed a rare smile on his face, but soon he had some doubts, and said: "If I take out the skull of eternal wisdom, how can I give it to you?" You, you won't let me send things to the Black Forest, will you?"

Bailu explained: "You don't have to go to the Black Forest to be so troublesome. As long as you leave the Aishali Forest, you can use the imprint I left on you. I will be able to sense it when the time comes, and I will go to the Ming Dynasty personally. Skyland, take the things away."

Leo asked suspiciously, "Can you leave the Black Forest?"

The White Deer shook his head and said, "It's only temporary, and there will be a price to pay," He then warned very seriously, "So if you haven't brought out the skull, please don't call me."

Although Leo doesn't know what kind of price the white deer will have to pay to be able to move outside the Black Forest, it is not difficult to see from the white deer's expression that the price may be very huge, so huge that even an existence like the white deer can't bear it .

"In addition, how will you give me my reward?" Although Leo was also curious about the price he paid, he also knew that he shouldn't ask too much, so he asked a question related to his own interests instead.

White Deer replied: "It's very simple, there are two ways, one is that you come to the Black Forest, and I will give you the reward in the Black Forest, and the other is that I tell you a place where you also know you want to know."

The answer of going to the Black Forest to receive the reward was within Leo's expectation, but the other answer surprised him a bit, so he asked curiously, "Where is that place?"

Bailu smiled, turned around and walked out of the flowers, his figure gradually became blurred, and when Leo wanted to ask, he gave the answer, saying: "The wizard's tower!"

As the voice fell, the figure of the white deer also disappeared from Leo's sight, and the power covering the flowers also disappeared at the same time. Those people walking around the flowers looked at the sudden appearance of flowers around them with some doubts Standing with Leo among the flowers, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

Leo ignored the strange gazes around him. He calmly walked out of the flowers and walked out of the Valley of Flowers. However, under the calm appearance, his heart became extremely excited and excited, because Bailu's answer really surprised him. , It also made him unable to restrain his excitement. This emotion did not gradually calm down until he returned to the hotel in the town, and his mind began to think about other things.

Obviously, the second choice given by Bailu was clearly targeted. Leo even suspected that Bailu had spied on the reward he originally hoped to get through the imprint left on him, so he made up the second choice first. This choice forced him to pay special attention to the matter of Aishali Forest.

It has to be said that the bait of the White Deer is too heavy, not only the tower of wizards he most wishes for, but also the secrets about the real situation in this world, such a heavy weight even if he has calmed down now, his emotions It will still be affected, and the subconscious determination must bring the skull out of the Asheli Forest.
