The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Ilya said that the ancestors of the Kaka tribe liked to record things very much. Whether it was the patriarch, the desert guide, or other people who held important positions in the tribe, they all liked to record everything that happened around them that they thought was important.

Therefore, the Kaka tribe has always had a habit, that is, the tribe will hand over the notes she recorded to the scribes in the tribe before death, and the scribes will transcribe the contents, edit them into a book, and store them away.

As a result, the number of books collected by the Kaka tribe became astonishing. When the Kaka tribe was still strong in the early days, many kingdom scholars came to the Kaka tribe to borrow those manuscript books in order to compile the chronicle of the kingdom.

Although the Kaka tribe suffered catastrophe and lost a lot of property when it fell, the books left by these ancestors were still well preserved by the Kaka tribe. All the books were carried on five sand carts. Housed in well-crafted boxes that are not only waterproof but also insect-proof.

Leo read these books very slowly, because he not only needed to identify the different notes on the books, but also needed to analyze and infer a large number of Savile local slang and proverbs.

Because most of the written styles used by the writers of the Kaka tribe at that time were oral texts, which contained a large number of slang and proverbs that only Saviles and Saviles at that time could understand. Some proverbs are very important, so Leo has to deduce repeatedly to get an answer, and even the answer may be wrong because of the content of other books, so he always needs to read these books repeatedly.

However, these are not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that although the Kaka tribe has a tradition of collecting ancestor books, they have no idea of ​​sorting out these books. All the books are put together randomly. Maybe Leo just read it If you read a book written by the ancestors of the Kaka tribe a hundred years ago, and then pick up the next one, the writing time of this book becomes two hundred years ago.

This chaotic way of storing books also created difficulties for Leo's reading in disguise, so Leo had to take the initiative to help the Kaka tribe sort out the books.

The Kaka tribe stayed at the edge of the Guja Desert for two days and captured desert creatures three times. These desert creatures were made into dry goods, and there were two pack carts piled up.

Originally, according to Abahan Kasa's plan, he planned to stay in the desert for a month, and he had prepared sufficient supplies and carts for loading for this month.

However, Ilic's ability is too effective. He emptied the desert creatures in an area three times. If it continues, only those sand scorpions and sand snakes in the larval state will be left. Abraham does not want the Guga Desert and other deserts That kind of creature became extinct, so he had to change his plan and move to the next capture point half a month in advance, which is the origin of their Kaka tribe.

Ilya also came to inform Leo, and brought people to help Leo pack his tent and books, and prepared a cart specially for Leo.

The cart that Ilya prepared for Leo was very large, the whole shape was like a boat suit, and it could easily accommodate a complete big tent. An eight-legged short-nosed sand lizard was dragging it in front, although the speed was not very fast. , but very stable.

Leo is very interested in the next destination of the Kaka tribe, because not only from Ilya's dictation, he knows that the next destination is in the depths of the Guga Desert, the birthplace of the Kaka tribe, but also I've read about that place of origin in books.

According to the description on the tree, the place of origin is in a valley surrounded by high mountains in the Guga Desert, where there is an oasis and a lake that can support daily water for thousands of people, and there are also relics built by the Guga civilization. .

And more importantly, according to Leo's inference, it should not be far from the base of the cosmic civilization or the battleship from the Kaka tribe.

Among the books Leo read in the past two days, there was a book written by someone who was still at the origin of the Kaka tribe at that time. The person who wrote this book was the leader of a hunting team.

It can be seen from his books that the Guja Desert was not as completely deserted as it is now, and there were still trees and large animals living in the depths of the Guja Desert. The Kaka tribe relied on these large animals to survive in the Guja Desert. Live in the desert for decades.

Most of the things that man recorded were his personal experiences and some hunting activities that can represent bravery, but in one of his writings, he wrote that when he was hunting an extinct silver sand fox , away from the camp, went deep into the desert, and was trapped for three days and three nights.

During these three days and three nights, he accidentally entered the land of gods mentioned by his ancestors, saw some indescribable great miracles, and believed that only gods could make such miracles, so he firmly believed that their Kaka tribe was Descendants of the gods.

If estimated based on what that person wrote, then the cosmic civilization base that the ancestors of the Kaka tribe left was within two days' distance of the Kaka tribe's origin valley.

On the way to the place of origin, Leo was still staying in the tent, reading a book, and Abhan Kasa very much agreed with Leo's behavior. After all, even if he agreed to his daughter's proposal and took Leo to the place of origin, But he didn't want Leo to know the exact location of the place of origin, even if the place of origin had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

During the prosperous period of the Kaka tribe, they had the custom of returning to the place of origin of their ancestors to make sacrifices. Almost every year, people would be sent back to the place of origin to perform this ceremony.

However, after all the desert guides of the Kaka tribe were slaughtered as witches, this ritual was never performed again, because without their own desert guides, even the Kaka tribe People who enter the Guga Desert will also encounter fatal danger.

Ilya camped on the edge of the previous Guga Desert to capture desert creatures, not only to prepare for trading goods, but also to test his ability to see if he could influence the Guga Desert like his ancestors and let his people live in the Guga Desert. Pass without a hitch.

As a result, Ilya's confidence was greatly increased, so he made the decision to go directly to the place of origin in the depths of the Guga Desert.

The first day's itinerary was very smooth. Ilya easily affected the energy around the convoy through his spiritual power, making those dangerous creatures lurking in the sand disappear from the surroundings of the convoy. The only thing to pay attention to is not to step on the floating sand Fortunately, the sand lizard itself has the ability to judge the location of floating sand, so the team easily avoided all dangers, and before nightfall, they found a water source and set up camp.

The people of the Kaka tribe also forgot that this is the Guga Desert because of the relaxed environment during these days. This is the most dangerous desert in the world, and deadly dangers lurk everywhere.

So on the second day, after the tribe was on the road, a child from the tribe ran out of the convoy to pick it up because he saw a shiny object on the sand dunes a little far away from the tribal convoy. Because he took it lightly, he didn't care, and let the child run out.

As a result, as soon as the child ran out of the convoy, he was immediately attacked by a sand snake lurking in the sand, bit his calf, and soon died of poison.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the entire convoy was more tense than sad. No one dared to leave the convoy range designated by Ilya, and walked cautiously on the sandy ground.

In the carriage, Leo didn't care about what happened outside. He had just obtained a book from Ilya that was said to be written by the first generation of desert guides of the Kaka tribe.

The reason why Ilya gave this book to Leo was mainly because she found that Leo's knowledge of characters was amazing in the past few days, and Leo could read many books that she couldn't understand the content easily, so She hopes that Leo can also read this book that no one can read except the author, just like reading other tribal books. According to her description, this book is said to describe the mystery when the world was first formed .

Leo didn't care about Ilya's remarks at the beginning, because he had read too many books about the origin of the world, among which the church books were the most, and almost every church member would claim that their gods were the beginning of the world. The gods that appear at the time of formation are also the original gods.

However, it is strange that no matter how fierce the competition for the position of the original god is, none of the churches, large or small, has a classic that claims that the gods of their churches are the gods of creation, or have participated in the creation of the world.

But the cover of the book Ilya gave to Leo has the word Creation written on it, which is absolutely taboo in the world of Velen. If it is seen by any church, even the Church of the Evil God, the Kaka Tribe will also because of this book. I have to say that Ilya was extremely stupid to give this book to Leo, a stranger who had just met for a few days.

However, Ilya can't be blamed for this, because she doesn't know the two words written on the cover of this book at all, and neither does the content. Let alone Ilya, I am afraid that the entire Vinylon world, except those who may have accepted the wisdom of cosmic civilization Except for King Saran and her intellectual brain, no one will understand the words on it. These words are the lower lingua franca specially invented by the Weiya people for the vassal and slave races, and they can be regarded as one of the branches of the lingua franca of the universe. one.

Leo understands the general language of the universe of the Weiya people, but not this low-level common language. He can only recognize the meaning of the two words on the cover from some variation rules. As for the content of this book, Leo It is somewhat difficult to interpret.

Not only does he need to infer the meanings of these lower-level common languages ​​through reverse engineering of the Weiya people's universal language, but he also needs to judge whether there are errors in these languages, because obviously the person who wrote this book has a good grasp of this low-level common language. Not very good, there are a lot of obvious writing and grammatical errors, no doubt it is a big project to organize this manuscript book into a readable text.

Because Leo felt that this book might contain a big secret about the world of Velen, he was also very interested, and put the other books aside for the time being, and concentrated on dealing with this book.

However, when he began to analyze and study the lower common language, there was a small episode.

At that time, he was analyzing the meaning of a symbol, when the scene in front of him suddenly went dark, and the whole person seemed to enter a void, and then a bright spot appeared in front of him, and it expanded rapidly, turning into Hill Via's look.

I saw that Sylvia looked very nervous at the moment, but seeing Leo appearing in front of her intact, the expression on her face immediately relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked anxiously: "Leo, what are you doing now?" Where? Why didn't you be sent back to the exit when the Aishali Forest was closed? Did you encounter any accident?"

As Sylvia blurted out a series of questions, Leo also sensed Sylvia's nervousness, so he raised his hand to signal Sylvia to relax, and then carefully placed him behind Sylvia and the others. Seeing the white deer, having some conversations with the white deer, and then being sent out of the Aishali Forest by a force, to the Kingdom of Savile and so on.

After listening to Leo's narration, Sylvia was also stunned for a long time, and then said: "So you are in the Guga Desert now? No wonder, no wonder it was so difficult for me to find you. "

Leo frowned slightly, and asked, "How did you find me? What's going on now?"

"Ah!" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned pale with exaggerated shock, and said, "Oh, there is a force interfering with the connection. I can't hear you now, I can't see you..."

Following this series of exaggerated performances, Sylvia's figure quickly disappeared in front of Leo, and at the same time, the dark scene in front of her also disappeared.

Seeing Sylvia's childish behavior, Leo couldn't help but smile, but he didn't care what Sylvia left on him, because he didn't feel any danger .

This little episode passed quickly, and Leo also put his mind on the books in his hands again.

"How is it? Have you found him?" At this moment, in a luxurious manor in the seaport city of Biniba on the west coast of the Minsk mainland, Seran stuffed a berry into his mouth and saw Sylvia recovering from the state of meditation. Come over and ask.

"Found it." Sylvia gasped slightly, then wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "He's in the Guga Desert in the Savile Kingdom."

"What? The Kingdom of Seville?" As soon as Sylvia finished speaking, not only Seran was stunned, but even Saran who was sitting not far away in a state of rest with his eyes closed showed a look of surprise.

"Will Aishali Forest take the initiative to send a person out, and send it to a place as far away as the Guga Desert in the Kingdom of Seville?" Sylvia turned to look at Saran, who knew Aishali Forest best, and asked road.

Saran thought for a while and said: "Maybe! After all, the location of the Aishali Forest was originally on the Guga Desert."
