The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Why did he do this?" Compared to the outside world's speculation and analysis from the standpoint of the British royal family, which believed in the white deer's guess, Leo instinctively considered the matter from the white deer's side. thing.

Leo never thought that the White Deer was a selfless high-level life form. Everything he did had a strong purpose. Just this time, in order to lead Leo to Kevin Town, he did not hesitate to create so many troubles, even Using the prince of a country to set up a trap shows that in his eyes, mortals are just pawns for him to manipulate.

Don't look at how approachable he was when he talked with Leo in Flower Valley, and he completely treated Leo as an equal life, but in fact, in his heart, he probably only regarded Leo as a person who was barely qualified to be with him. He is just a chess piece for equal dialogue.

This is not because Leo guessed in vain, because in the Earth Federation, how to get along with and talk to those superior Omega-level life forms in the universe is already a very important subject. Not only ordinary people have to learn, but also Even cyborgs like Leo also need to learn, so compared to people in the world of Velen who are all subjective guesses about the character of the gods, the knowledge in Leo's mind is more reliable case analysis, and he knows these things better. What is the state of mind of higher life forms?

These higher life forms may help some people because they are in a good mood once or twice, but they will never help others on such a large scale and selflessly, not to mention that the people he helps are the enemies of those who have a contract with him.

You must know that there is a secret contract between the Black Forest and the Faran Royal Family. Although I don’t know what the contract between the two is, the fact that the Faran Royal Family was able to lead people across the Black Forest, and even get help from some magical creatures in the Black Forest. It shows that the degree of contract between the two is very deep.

From this point of view, Bailu's actions were undoubtedly violating the contract and helping the enemies of the Faran royal family, and the time was still in the period when the Faran Empire was extremely powerful, which made people feel that it was against harmony.

But Leo thought about it carefully, but felt that Bailu's approach might be a very normal one. Of course, the premise of this normality is the benefit. If the contract is lost, then Bailu's actions are very normal and correct.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but think of another mysterious sea god who had greatly helped the royal family of England, and formed a deep contract with the royal family of England like the Black Forest and the royal family of Farland.

Leo no longer has any doubts about the existence of the Sea God. Even if this mysterious Sea God does not control the entire ocean of Velen World as the British royal family boasted, he definitely has other gods in the ocean that are unmatched. power.

However, such a powerful god also extended a helping hand to the British royal family and formed a bond like the White Hart, so this matter is worth pondering.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were characters in the British royal family who could disturb several gods at that time, then it is very likely that the British royal family had something in their hands that could move the hearts of the gods.

Compared with human beings, Leo believed that the royal family of England possessed an item that even the gods could be moved by, and this item was not acceptable to a god, otherwise the White Deer would take it all away, and there would be no What happened to the Poseidon later.

And it is not difficult to see that to obtain this item requires paying a huge price. For example, the White Deer must violate the contract between the Black Forest and the Faran Empire to help the Inge royal family, and the Sea God must make the Inge royal family into its blood family to obtain it. This item, which makes Leo can't help but be very curious about this item that makes the gods tempted.

However, curiosity is nothing but curiosity. Leo has no intention of delving into this matter. After all, judging from the behavior of Bailu and Sea God, this item is very precious, and they also attach great importance to it. Investigating this matter will definitely violate the taboo of both of them. , Leo now has no idea of ​​being an enemy of the two gods.

Leo temporarily put aside a series of associations about the White Hart and the British royal family, and focused on the statues in the pantheon that were very similar to the alien races in the universe.

He spent a few hours browsing the entire temple, memorized all the statues in his mind, and compared them, and quickly selected eighty-five statues of the incarnation of gods, and The appearance of these statues is very similar to the 85 aliens in the advanced civilization sequence in the universe, and most of them are even exactly the same.

This kind of identicalness is not just about the general appearance, but the physiological characteristics unique to some races are all displayed on those god statues.

For example, in the temple where the Lord of the Sky is located, there is an indigenous god of the Mosang Continent called the Hunter. The main statue of this god is a creature in the wasteland just like most of the main gods of the Mosang Continent , but his main statue is a bit special, an endangered beast called a saber-toothed beast.

The saber-toothed beast is the top hunter in the jungle of the Mosang continent, but after it faces a more powerful hunter like human beings, its ending is already doomed.

After the colonists settled in Mozambique, they hunted a large number of animals and collected their furs, and the furs of saber-toothed beasts were extremely precious and were sought after by the upper class, so the hunting of saber-toothed beasts became the norm. In the end, all the saber-toothed beasts in the area except the wasteland were killed. Now if you want to see the saber-toothed beasts, you have to go deep into the wasteland.

From the fact that the colonists killed the saber-toothed beasts to the brink of extinction, it can be imagined that this indigenous god in the Mosang continent called the hunter had long since fallen. The tribe believes in this deity, and there are many legends about this deity.

Among these legends, the most famous one is that the divine incarnation of the hunter used his divine power in a flood to create a sanctuary in the flood to protect the tribe that believed in him, and this incarnation of the divine is Leo The familiar alien race, the Jaca.

The home star of the Jaka tribe is a water system planet. The entire planet is full of water, and the land is almost negligible. Therefore, the Jaka tribe is also an alien race that evolved from aquatic organisms. Its appearance is very similar to the jellyfish of the Earth Federation.

Adult Jacas will have a parasitic ability that can parasitize other alien organisms, so adult Jacas will rarely appear in the original jellyfish-like form.

However, no matter what the parasitic form of the Jaka tribe looks like when it is an adult, the parasitized person will have an unchangeable characteristic. This characteristic is that the parasite will have a very obvious silver-blue tentacles.

Among the incarnations of the hunter god, there is a very obvious silver-blue tentacles on the forehead of one incarnation. In order to reflect this feature, the sculptor at that time carefully carved it out with a special silver-blue stone. This tentacle was polished and inlaid on the statue, which also made this tentacle very prominent. Leo saw this tentacle almost at first sight.

In addition to the Jiaka tribe, there are also many alien races of different shapes that also appeared on the statues of these gods. The number is so large that it can no longer be described as a coincidence.

Moreover, Leo also discovered something interesting, that is, these alien races are all famous secondary psychic races in the universe.

The term "secondary psionic race" has not been approved by the Supreme Council of the universe, but is just a classification of psionic races created by some advanced cosmic civilizations themselves.

These cosmic civilizations divide the alien races other than the real psychic races into four levels, high psychic races, secondary psychic races, weak psychic races, and non-psychic races.

Generally, only when the proportion of psychics in a group reaches one billionth can it be called a high-level psychic race, a proportion of tens of billions is a low-level psychic race, a hundred billion is a weak psychic race, and anything other than a hundred billion is counted as a race. Non-psychic races.

Like the Earth Federation is a weak psychic race, the Earth Federation occupies more than 50 colonial planets, with a population of trillions, but the number of real psykers in the Earth Federation has always hovered around a hundred.

In the universe, the cosmic civilizations that can be included in the secondary psychic races are advanced civilizations that have developed technology to a very high level and have their own exclusive technology sequence. Such civilizations are extremely rare among the various cosmic civilizations. The total has never exceeded 200, and now almost half of the alien race images of the secondary spiritual civilization have appeared in the world of Velen as the incarnation of gods, which makes people can't help but give birth to a lot of ideas.

Reminiscent of all the previously discovered relationships between the Via people and the world of Veyron, as well as what they did in the world of Veyron, Leo couldn't help but wonder whether these secondary psionic races might also be the test subjects of the Via people.

Although the risk of doing so is very high, once it is leaked, the Via people may become the common enemy of dozens of secondary spiritual civilizations, but the bold and reckless behavior of the Via people, let alone a secondary spiritual civilization race, if If it is in their interests, even high spiritual civilizations, and even real spiritual civilizations will attack them.

In addition to discovering that these incarnations of gods are related to the alien races of the secondary psychic civilization, Leo also discovered that most of the gods with the incarnations of these alien races came from the Minsk and Mosang continents. Less, only two.

What's more interesting is that these gods are all fallen gods or legendary gods without exception. Their beliefs and legends are spread in two places, one is the wasteland, and the other is the Guga Desert.

"This is definitely not a coincidence!" After discovering this common situation, Leo became more curious about these two places, and couldn't help feeling an urge to go to one of them immediately.

When Leo was thinking about something, a burst of noise came from a temple he had seen before. Because of the special structure of the temple, these noises not only did not weaken after they came out, but changed because of the reverberation of the wall. It grew bigger and spread farther, disturbing more people who were quietly praying in the temple.

The crowd looked towards the temple with great dissatisfaction, but no one walked over to stop the noise over there. Instead, after looking at it, they returned to the interrupted prayers, as if they had already understood this kind of prayer. The sudden noise is normal.

Leo originally didn't intend to pay attention to these noises, and was going to leave the Temple of the Gods to find Pasa Kagulan, the Panier who bought his materials from the black market, but when he was about to reach an entrance and exit of the Temple of the Gods , the previous noise rang out again, and this time the noise was mixed with some English with a foreign accent. In those English words, someone called out a name, and this name was the goal of Leo's trip. Passa Kagulan.

Leo, who stopped his feet, turned his head to look at the temple from which the sound came, and listened carefully to the noise that came from him. Only then did he realize that the language that made up these noises was Panir, a kind of The Paneer Aboriginal language was merged with English and sounds more like a regional dialect of English.

At this time, Leo also thought that the temple he had seen before seemed to be dominated by the indigenous gods in the wilderness of the Mosang continent. Although these indigenous gods had disappeared, there were still beliefs in the tribes of the Mosang continent.

Many tribal dignitaries who came to study in the Kingdom of England could not find temples for religious ceremonies in other parts of the Kingdom of England, so they could only complete their daily prayers in the temples of the seminary, which also made this The temple is much more lively than other temples,

Thinking of this, Leo turned around and walked towards the temple. After entering the temple, a group of people wearing exotic costumes gathered in front of a shrine. A staff member of the seminary in charge of the temple stood in front of these people and was Arguing with them about something.

Although there were many people talking, Leo could still hear what these people were arguing about.

It turns out that this shrine is a statue of a god that many people believe in in Paneer. This time, many people in the Paneer mission are believers of this god. They and most other believers in other churches Similarly, after finding no corresponding temples and churches in Dulin City, they all chose to come to the temples for prayer ceremonies.

Originally, this was not a problem. When the temple was first built, the royal family attached great importance to the main statue of each god. All the statues were sculpted according to the image of mainstream gods, but today this problem appears on the statues of gods incarnate. .

The god in this shrine is named Zumu, which is interpreted as a tall tree according to the language of the natives of the Paneer tribe. According to research conducted by the Seminary, Zum is actually a very huge tree. How tall this tree is, judging from the wreckage that can be found now, the height of Zum at that time was at least 500 meters. Such a tall tree is naturally It is regarded as a god by the local tribes. As for whether this tree is a god, there is no public opinion. The only thing that is certain is that the myths and legends related to Zum are very popular in Paneer.

However, just like all tall trees, every time it rains, the Zum tree is also the concentration of local lightning strikes, but it has survived for a long time in the past, until Panier appeared. up to the maximum thunderstorm.
