The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Abyss?" After hearing Leo's words, Sylvia quickly had an explanation for this word in her mind, but she vaguely felt that the abyss Leo said was not the same thing as the abyss she knew.

Seeing this situation, Leo did not hide the relevant information he knew about the abyss, and told Sylvia carefully, but he did not talk about other worlds in the mist, but only mentioned the wasteland. The Emerald Dream, mentioning Death Valley.

"They are disasters, they are disasters, they are dripping with black oil of evil, riding monsters cast by death, rushing out from the ground!" Sylvia suddenly recited after listening to Leo's introduction about the abyss. A piece of poem that I have never heard before, and the origin of this poem is added at the end, saying: "Thirteen volumes of madmen's books of ancient gods, knowledge and ignorance, what I have seen."

"Have you read the Thirteen Books of Madman's Knowledge of Ancient Gods?" Leo asked in surprise.

"No, I haven't read it." Sylvia shook her head and explained: "But my ancestor Alice Belmont has seen it, and she is crazy like other people who have read the knowledge of the ancient gods, but she Sometimes sober, she would write something down when she was sober, and by the time she disappeared, a dozen notebooks had been written."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo had a strange look on his face, and wanted to ask about Alice, but in the end he didn't ask, but asked: "Those notes now..."

"It has been taken away by the Orthodox Church." Sylvia sighed, and said: "I read those notes when I was a child, but unfortunately I don't remember most of them, only a few of them are still fresh in my memory. This paragraph is written in The content of the book of ignorance and the chapter I have seen is the most memorable, because it describes the scene of the end." After speaking, she paused, and said with a serious expression: "Does the end of our world come from the abyss?"

"This sentence is overturned." Leo corrected: "When our world is coming to an end, it will be eroded by the abyss."

Sylvia asked worriedly: "Then our world is now..."

"No." Leo denied Sylvia's guess and said, "Don't forget, there are still gods in our world."

Sylvia didn't lessen her worries, and said, "But Aishali Forest..."

Leo replied: "The situation in Aishali Forest is special. It is like the Valley of Death. It is a small world that is dying, but it will not have any major impact on our world."

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked nervously, "What about us? What are we witches?"

"You?" Leo thought for a while, and said, "Maybe you are the product of an accident!"

"A product of accident?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't like this term very much.

"Just as the abyss tried to invade the world of Velen through the Emerald Dream and Death Valley, the Aishali Forest may have encountered similar things," Leo explained: "It's just that the Aishali Forest is not Death Valley. Sex far surpasses any place in the world, and even the power of the abyss cannot gain any upper hand there. In my opinion, you are probably produced accidentally after the collision of two powerful forces, and the source of your witch may be In those worlds that have fallen into the abyss, but have not yet been completely eroded by the abyss."

Sylvia was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Does this power of the abyss have any effect on me?"

"I don't know about this." Leo said with a very serious expression: "According to the situation I have encountered before, the power of the abyss is very polluting. Anyone who comes into contact with the power of the abyss will be polluted. In the end Mutated into unspeakable monsters."

Sylvia's face immediately turned pale and colorless, because she suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she was unconscious, and the monsters she saw would drive people crazy just by looking at them.

"I will turn into those monsters in the end too?" Sylvia said tremblingly, leaning back on the chair a little weakly.

"Of course... no." Leo deliberately paused, and then gave a different answer.

Sylvia was also taken aback, looking at Leo puzzled.

Leo said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. You witches have been around for so many years. In the past, did that witch mutate into a monster?"

"This..." Sylvia carefully recalled everything about witches, although in the past scriptures of the Orthodox Church, most of them described witches as some evil existences, saying that they would do all kinds of inhuman and evil things , but there has never been a document that describes the witch as a monster, and there is no record of any witch turning into a monster within the witch group.

This news made Sylvia relax a little from her nervousness just now, and then she seemed to realize something, and stared at Leo angrily, obviously she had already thought that Leo was teasing her just now.

"Don't you think there was something wrong with you just now?" Leo ignored Sylvia's angry gaze and said in a deep voice.

"You didn't have enough fun just now, and now you still want to tease me." Sylvia raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfied.

"Of course not." Leo shook his head and said, "Didn't you feel that your emotions and thoughts were easily shaken just now? Just a few words from me made you completely flustered. This is not like yours. For people."

When Sylvia heard this, she pondered for a moment, and the angry expression on her face gradually became serious, and she said, "You mean to say that I'm still affected by the abyss?"

"Yes." Leo nodded, and said: "Although the power of the abyss cannot corrode you because of the special nature of you witches, the erosion of the power of the abyss is not only on the body, but on the soul. It's scary, it's silent, it's hard to guard against, and you're infected before you realize it."

Sylvia hesitated for a moment, and said, "How is this possible? Why don't I feel anything?"

"Didn't you see those monsters in the abyss? As long as you see them, you will be infected by the abyss." Leo explained, but at the same time, his eyes did not look at Sylvia, but at Sylvia overhead.

Through the power of the Eye of Reality, Leo saw a mass of irregular, rolling bubbles floating above Sylvia's head, and he felt an aura of abyss from this mass of foam.

This group of bubbles appeared when Sylvia was flustered just now, and it expanded and shrunk as Sylvia's mood changed. Some of the bubbles even showed signs of turning into black oil, but there seemed to be an invisible force around them. The force is holding back the transition, and every time the transition looks like it's about to complete, it's disturbed by the force and falls back into the foam.

Sylvia also noticed Leo's situation, and involuntarily looked up at the top of her head, but saw nothing.

Just when Sylvia was puzzled, Leo suddenly stood up, raised his hand, and placed it in the air above Sylvia's head, while channeling the power of the abyss snake's eyeballs.

I saw that force instantly turned into an abyss snake, opened the strange mouth with incisors, then swallowed the ball of foam in the air in one gulp, and sucked it unsatisfactorily, sucking Sylvia's body The last trace of the abyssal breath of trembling foam inside was drawn out, and then retreated into the eyeballs of Leo's arms.

Sylvia didn't understand what Leo was doing, she just felt that when Leo's hand reached out to her head, her flustered emotions suddenly became clear and calm like filtered water, and her heart The inexplicable invisible pressure also disappeared, and her whole state of mind returned to its original state.

And at this time, when she recalled the various reactions just now, she also felt that she seemed to have become a fledgling little girl, completely losing the calm mentality tempered by past experiences.

"What happened just now?" Sylvia asked calmly looking at Leo who withdrew his hand.

Leo sat back on the chair and replied: "I helped you clean up a little bit of the residual aura of the abyss on your body, and you should be fine now."

Sylvia was much more awake and calm at the moment, she suddenly thought of something, and asked Leo: "The problems in my body and the abyss I saw when I was unconscious are all caused by your blood. ?"

"Yes." Leo had no intention of hiding anything, and nodded to acknowledge Sylvia's guess.

Sylvia didn't blame Leo, but asked with concern: "How could your blood..."

"Because of it." Before Sylvia could finish asking, Leo raised his hand and actively made the eyeballs of the abyssal serpent materialize in his hand.

Seeing a snake eye appearing in Leo's hands, Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and then a strong sense of disgust gave her the urge to destroy the snake eye and Leo together.

However, unlike the situation just now, the abyssal power that affected her emotions was gone. She was able to suppress the strong resentment and disgust in her heart, calm down and carefully observe the snake eyes in front of her.

Sylvia asked: "What is this? Why do I have such a strong dislike for it?"

Seeing that Sylvia was able to calm down and control her emotions, Leo knew that Sylvia had truly returned to normal, so he explained: "This is the eyeball of the abyss serpent. It and your witch blood come from the Faceless Man." In the abyss, it is a relationship of sworn enemies."

"How did you get it?" Sylvia asked.

"An adventure." Leo replied simply.

Sylvia didn't ask, but asked with concern: "It's also something from the abyss, doesn't it affect you?"

"No." Leo was about to mention it casually, but Sylvia frowned a little dissatisfied with her perfunctory behavior, and added: "I have the power to restrain her."

While speaking, Leo invoked the devouring power of the chaotic stomach, and when the devouring power appeared, the eyeballs of the abyssal serpent instantly froze into a small ball as if encountering a natural enemy, allowing himself to The abyssal breath on his body does not spread out a little.

Not only the eyeballs of the abyss serpent made such a defensive response, Sylvia also felt that when the aura of power emerged from Leo's hands, the power of the witch on her body was like a machine without oil. It takes more energy and attention than just now to control the power on your body.

"This power not only restrains the power of the abyss, but also affects my power." Sylvia truthfully told Leo about her situation.

Because he had never let the power of devouring leave his body before, Leo didn't know that the power of the abyss could also restrain witches like Sylvia, but he quickly understood the reason and said: "This should be with you The witch comes from the abyss, and this power is not so much able to have a strong influence on the witch, but rather affect all the products of the abyss."

As he spoke, Leo withdrew his snake eyes and devouring power, and Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Sylvia suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Does this power have an effect on all witches?"

"According to reason, it should be." Leo did not give an absolutely affirmative answer, and said, "But it's best to give it a try."

"Yes, give it a try." Thinking of this, Sylvia stood up and walked outside. After a while, she saw him leading the fire bather Seran in, and said to Leo, "Try now." .”

After hearing Sylvia's voice, Seran, who was still in a daze and didn't know why, felt a very uncomfortable feeling emanating from Leo's body, and she also noticed that there was something on her body. The power of the witch has become very disobedient, showing signs of getting out of control.

"Okay, it seems to be really useful." Seeing the ugly expression on Seran's face, Sylvia immediately signaled Leo to stop, and said with a joyful smile on her face.

"Xini? What happened just now?" Seran found that after Sylvia spoke, the aura that caused her discomfort on Leo's body also disappeared. She was slightly relieved, and turned her head a little annoyed asked Sylvia.

Sylvia couldn't hide a smile on her face, and said excitedly: "This means that the witch power in us can be fully awakened in this homecoming ceremony."

"Are you crazy?" Seran looked at his friend and said in a deep voice, "You should know how difficult it is to obtain the witch's blood."

"Of course I'm not crazy." Sylvia looked at Seran with dissatisfaction, and said, "Although it's hard to get the source blood of the witch, don't forget that there is a place where you can get as much source blood as you want."

"You are really crazy." Seran's face not only did not become better, but became more serious, he said: "If you are not crazy, why would you send the idea to the witch's cemetery? You must know where to go and seek death There is no difference."

"Yes, going there is indeed the same as committing suicide, but that was before," Sylvia walked up to Leo with a confident look, put her hand on the back of Leo's chair, and said, "But if we What about the power to restrain the witch? Can those horrible guys in the witch's cemetery still threaten us?"

Hearing Sylvia's words, Seran was also taken aback, and recalled the situation just now, then looked at Leo with bright eyes, as if looking at some treasure.
