The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Eternal wisdom?" Sylvia was surprised when she heard Leo's words, and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity. Although Leo mentioned that he had some deals with the White Deer in the Black Forest, he did not specifically mention it. What is a deal, so she subconsciously thinks that those deals are just small things.

But now Leo told her that one of the purposes of coming here was to take away the skull of a fallen god from here, and the location of the skull of this god was actually in the same place as the witch's purpose, which made her suddenly Somewhat unacceptable.

Leo didn't give Sylvia any answer, he just stood aside quietly, waiting for Sylvia's emotions to calm down.

It didn't take long for Sylvia to stabilize her emotions and asked, "What should I do?"

"I don't know." Leo shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "I didn't plan to tell you about this, it's just a private matter of mine..."

"Hmph!" Sylvia snorted coldly and interrupted Leo, saying, "It's a good thing you didn't do that, otherwise I would be really angry."

Leo smiled, and continued: "It's just that the cemetery of the witch is the place where the head of Eternal Wisdom is buried. At the beginning, the Witch chose this place as a fake cemetery, which may have something to do with Eternal Wisdom, so I think you should be involved. Finding the head of eternal wisdom has some unexpected effects, and may be able to solve some unnecessary troubles."

Although Leo said something utilitarian, Sylvia didn't care. For Sylvia, asking her for help for no reason would make her feel at a loss, and might even have doubts in her heart. Now Leo told her so clearly that the reason for asking her to join was because her identity as a witch might play a role in finding the head of eternal wisdom, which on the contrary made her feel relieved.

Afterwards, Sylvia showed a little regret and said, "It would be great if Emily was here."

(In Chapter 610, The Power of Restraint, I confused the name of Emily, the orphan girl adopted by Sylvia, with the name of Alice, the ancestor of Belmont, and it has been revised now.)

"Is Emily okay?" The girl whose whole family was tortured and killed in Miria City appeared in Leo's mind.

"Very good!" Speaking of the girl she adopted, Sylvia looked very proud, and said with a smile: "You may not know that little guy is amazing, her blood has been awakened some time ago, and she is The only witch who has awakened naturally in these years, even the majesty in the north was alarmed, and personally sent someone to deliver a gift." Then, she regretted: "Originally, she was going to accompany me to return to my hometown this time. , It's a pity that she found out the whereabouts of her enemy, and I already have Seran as a helper, and you are helping me, so I let her go about her own affairs and didn't let her follow in."

"Is the naturally awakened witch special?" Leo asked with some doubts.

Sylvia nodded affirmatively, and said: "All the witches who have awakened in the Aishali Forest will have some defects in power, but these defects are big or small, and most witches will not be able to make up for this defect in their lifetime. , only a few witches can achieve the second awakening, such as Saran, such as Queen Leia. But the witches who awaken naturally are different. Once they awaken, they will be fully awakened, without any defects, and only need the accumulation of time , their strength will steadily increase, and eventually reach an unbelievable level, which is comparable to the power of gods."

Speaking of this, Sylvia couldn't help showing strong envy and a little jealousy in her eyes. Obviously, Emily's full awakening also gave her a lot of stimulation.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the bushes not far away. Leo's extraordinary perception not only heard the footsteps, but also heard heavy breathing and some weird sounds, as if It's like something is chasing someone.

Leo took out the king and queen without hesitation. Although Sylvia heard the voice not as detailed as Leo's, she could still tell from the hurried footsteps that the running man should be very panicked. So he also picked up a cane beside his hand, and pressed the cane to pull out the rapier hidden inside.

When Sylvia pulled out the rapier, Leo couldn't help but look at the rapier, and saw that the material of the rapier itself didn't match metal, it was more like some kind of bone, and the rapier The surface is covered with dense Turing radicals, and its complexity is not much worse than any Turing radicals Leo has seen.

But these are not the places that attracted Leo's attention. What really made him feel that this rapier is extraordinary is the breath of life of the higher life form emitted by this rapier, which means that this rapier is likely to be Worn from the bones of a god.

Before Leo could ask about the origin of the rapier, the owner of the previous footsteps had already come out of the jungle.

I saw that one of the assistants hired by the three desert witches that Leo saw before rushed out of the woods, but his condition was very bad, his body was swollen, more than twice as swollen as before, if not The clothes on his body, maybe Leo couldn't recognize the identity of the other party at the first time.

Swelling is not the worst thing on his body, the worst thing is that his swollen outer skin is densely covered with various pustules, and in each pustules, apart from pus, some worms can be seen wriggling inside.

Immediately behind this person is a group of strange bees. These strange bees are very big, about the size of a normal adult's fist. If you look closely, you can see that the heads of these strange bees are all human faces, and they are covered with lizards. tooth.

In addition, what's a little weird is that when these bee swarms flapped their wings, they didn't cause any harsh beeps, and with the flapping of their wings, a very faint black mist gushed out from the wings, and Leo came from The breath of the abyss was felt in the black mist.

After the man rushed out of the woods, he saw Leo and Sylvia, and immediately rushed towards them without hesitation. It seemed that he wanted to drag Leo and Sylvia into the water and help him deal with the swarm.

It's a pity that this person underestimated Leo's ruthlessness. At the same time he turned to charge, Leo had already raised the kingdom in his hand and fired two shots. It hit the man's body without any suspense, and instantly triggered a burst of strong bursting air pressure, crushing the man from bones to flesh, including the worms in the pustule, into powder, and the effect of the bursting air pressure has not weakened. , wrap the bee colony that follows it, and crush them together.

"This is one of the two guns you gave me to improve?" Sylvia stared dumbfounded at the crushed human and bug wreckage that fell to the ground because of the explosion air pressure. In the hole, he turned his head to look at the familiar firearm in Leo's hand, and asked involuntarily.

"Yes." Leo nodded casually.

"Why do you use it so powerfully, I use it..." Sylvia didn't know how to describe it, so she could only gesture with her hands.

Leo smiled, but didn't answer. He walked to the pothole, flipped through the flesh and blood inside, especially the remains of those strange bees, and frowned after feeling that there was indeed an abyssal breath in it.

At this time, there was a sudden creaking sound of trees shaking, and then a root of the ancient tree arched out from the ground, and then stretched towards Leo.

Although Leo didn't feel the hostility from the roots, he still instinctively raised the king in his hand.

"Don't! It's not attacking you." Sylvia stopped Leo's hostile action, and then pulled Leo back to the original place.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the roots sweeping around the pothole. The deep pit and the flesh and blood wreckage inside and around were all buried by the upturned soil, and the place became flat again, and Some weeds grew rapidly from the ground again, and quickly returned to their original shape.

"Has that kind of bee swarm appeared before?" Seeing the old tree restore the ground, Leo turned his head to look at the huge old tree that couldn't see the top, and then turned his head to look at Sylvia, asking with a serious expression.

"No." Sylvia inserted the thin sword in her hand back into the cane, shook her head, and said, "Not only have I never seen this kind of strange bee, but I have never seen such a dangerous monster before. Even if the witch assistants who entered here encountered danger, it was mostly due to the danger caused by the environment, and there has never been a situation like this being attacked by a monster."

"Then it means that these strange bees only appeared during this period of time." Leo frowned and said, "I just felt the fluctuation of the power of the abyss on those strange bees. Mutated product."

"The power of the abyss?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and her face became serious. She thought that if the abyss had already begun to affect the creatures here, it would mean that the Aishali Forest would move closer to the abyss, which needed love for them. It is definitely not a good thing for the witch who awakened the power of blood in Sheli Forest.

Leo seemed to be able to guess what Sylvia was thinking, and he said with relief: "Don't be so nervous, according to the speed at which the Aishali Forest slipped into the abyss, if there were no accidents, it would probably take thousands of years. Leave the matter to the witch at that time to worry about!"

Sylvia smiled, noncommittal, but the worry on her brows was much less.

After that, neither of them mentioned what happened just now, but casually chatted about what happened to them during this period.

After about ten minutes or so, a flame suddenly appeared in the woods not far away. Although it was blocked by dense trees, some eye-catching light could still be seen from the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Seeing this situation, Leo felt that the flames should be made by the fire bather Seran, and the other party must have encountered some powerful enemy for creating such a strong flame, so he stood up and prepared to go into the forest to meet Seran.

"No, she can handle it." Sylvia, who knew Seran's situation very well, could tell from the intensity of the flames that Seran hadn't used all his strength, not even half of it, so he stopped Leo .

Just as Sylvia's voice fell, the flames in the distance subsided, and it didn't take long to see Seran, who was covered in tulle, walking slowly out of the woods. When she came out, He also held a charred corpse the size of a cat or dog in his hand.

The appearance of this corpse immediately focused the attention of Sylvia and Leo. They saw that the shape of this corpse looked like a ball of meat, surrounded by tentacles, each of which had a The human mouth full of sharp teeth looks extremely weird.

"Have you seen this thing?" Seran walked up to the two of them, casually threw the monster that she had almost roasted on the ground, and then asked.

Leo squatted down and checked the monster's body, but it was a pity that the monster's body was overcooked, and it was difficult to sense any energy fluctuations from it.

"This doesn't look like a creature in our world." Sylvia also walked over, looked down at the monster's body, and said in a deep voice.

"This is indeed not a Velen creature." Leo confirmed Sylvia's guess and said.

"Have you seen this kind of creature?" Seran guessed from Leo's tone.

"Yes." Leo nodded, but he didn't want to continue to answer, because he didn't know how to explain it. After all, it would be impossible to let Seran and Sylvia understand the concepts of the universe and planets.

The moment the roasted monster appeared in front of his eyes, Leo recognized that the monster was actually a Vikya, a cosmic race from the galaxy.

The civilization of this race is still a very low-level planetary tribal civilization, but because of some special abilities of the Bekya people, some lawbreakers in the fringe galaxies took a fancy to them, so they kidnapped these Bekya people on the spaceship for special training, In the end, it became a hunting dog specially used by these outlaws to hunt down their prey.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Biya people to exist alone, and there will definitely be a beast trainer nearby, but in this environment, is the Biya person accompanied by a beast trainer, is it a tamed hound, or The original Bikya people on the Bikya planet, none of these can be determined.

Although Leo couldn't confirm the identity of this Vikya man, he still tried to release the spirit net to see if he could find some clues around him.

Sylvia also saw that Leo didn't seem to want to continue to say anything, so she stopped Seran who was about to continue asking, and changed the subject and asked: "We will continue to follow the original plan..."

"Wait a minute." She got up suddenly and interrupted Sylvia's words, signaling them to wait in place, and then walked quickly into the woods.

Sylvia and Seran held each other face to face, wondering what the hell Leo was up to.

"Was he also such a startled person before?" Seran asked Sylvia.

"How did I know who he was before?" Sylvia rolled her eyes at Seran, and said with a slightly resentful tone: "I only met him a few times, so I don't know what kind of person he is at all. "
