The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo used various means to obtain a large amount of alchemy and pharmaceutical materials. He did not use up all these materials, but selected a lot of high-quality spiritual energy materials from them, and prepared to bring them to the world of Velen. Energy materials, combined with other materials, to see what magical effects can be produced.

But as a result, these materials have lost all their medicinal effects due to unknown reasons, and are highly decayed, as if they have been placed for a long time.

After discovering that the psychic materials were rotten, Leo hurriedly checked the psychic potions he made with these materials, and also checked the armor and weapons of the two of them. As a result, he was slightly relieved, and the completed medicine , and weapons and armor are not mutated.

"After all, the loss is not too great." Leo repacked the things and put them on the horse, and said in a deep voice.

"Look over there!" Sylvia patted Leo's shoulder at this time, pointed forward, and said.

Leo looked in the direction of Sylvia's finger, and saw a village looming in the rain and fog ahead, which seemed to be the destination of their trip.

After seeing there, the two turned around and got on their horses, walked over there, and soon they came to the entrance of the town.

The situation here is similar to other small towns in the mountains. They are surrounded by a wall made of wooden piles, leaving only one gate for people to pass through.

However, according to the normal situation, no one lives here all year round, and in the cold and humid environment in the mountains, whether it is the outer wooden walls, wooden gates, or wooden buildings in the village, they should have been decayed and dilapidated long ago. That's right, just like the town of Robe down the mountain.

But the situation here is completely different. Everything here seems to be new, as if everything is the same as when the town was first built. The only difference is that there is no one in the town at the moment.

However, everything here did not deceive Leo's eyes. After he activated his spiritual vision and blessed the power of the Eye of Reality, he looked around and said: "This place has been affected by the power of Night God's sigh for a long time, and it has formed A place where fantasy and reality coexist, even if there is no power provided by the broken pages of Night God’s Sigh, the remaining power of this place can still maintain the real illusion here.”

In his eyes, this town was completely dilapidated, the wooden piles and gates on the outer wall had decayed and collapsed, and the buildings inside the town were also dilapidated, as if as long as the wind in the mountain was a little stronger, all the houses would be destroyed immediately. It's like collapsing.

Knowing that what Leo saw was different, Sylvia asked, "Is there a way for me to see the real situation here?"

Leo thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Not for the time being, but I might be able to make you a pair of glasses that contain the power of the Eye of Reality in the future, and you should be able to see through that pair of glasses by then." the reality of this world."

While speaking, he looked into the village again, and then he let out a small cry of surprise as if he saw something unexpected.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Sylvia asked.

"Have you seen the church of the hill king?" Leo pointed to the middle of the village and said.

Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it!"

"Is the church you saw intact?" Leo asked again.

"It's intact." Sylvia looked at Leo in puzzlement, and asked, "Isn't what you saw intact?"

Leo shook his head and said, "It's also intact."

At first Sylvia didn't understand what Leo meant, but he quickly realized that Leo had used the Eye of Reality at this moment. The villages in his eyes were all corrupt scenes, and it was logical that they were also made of wood. The church should also be corrupt, and it will never be intact.

Sylvia has been in the Orthodox Church for so long, so she is naturally aware of some religious buildings. Although the buildings of the Church of the True God are more resistant to decay and more durable than other buildings because they are often baptized by divine power, this does not mean that The building of the church is immortal, it will still decay, but the rate of decay is much slower than other buildings.

Therefore, after a breakthrough in construction engineering, as long as the financial resources and conditions permit, all churches will build masonry churches, and seldom use perishable wood.

This mountain village has not been inhabited for many years. Even if the church is baptized with divine power every day, it is impossible to stop the natural decay. Even if the wood on the building is not as rotten as the ordinary buildings in the village, it should not be preserved as it is now. right.

"It looks like that place is a bit weird!" Leo frowned, thinking of the request made by St. Francis, to put the wood carving of the King of the Hill in the shrine of the church.

Thinking of this, he took out the woodcarving of the hill king from the storage space, and saw that the originally plain woodcarving emitted a faint light at this moment. When he held it in his hand, he could even hear a burst of heroism. war song.

"Shouldn't there be a wizard tower here?" At this moment, Sylvia suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice.

At this time, Leo also realized that this village lacked a wizard tower, which made him wonder: "Isn't this the village we are going to?"

After a little doubt, Leo shook his head again. The phantom of the town in front of him was obviously created by Night God's sigh. In this regard, he could sense a breath of the same power from the slight resonance of the power of nightmare. It's just that he couldn't absorb the power that formed the illusion here like he absorbed those few broken pages.

"Let's go! Go in and take a look whether it's right or not!" Leo said, and then rode forward, walking towards the village and town, followed by Sylvia.

When Leo approached the town, he removed the Eye of Reality, allowing himself and Sylvia to be in the same field of vision, and also saw the illusion of the village intact.

When he arrived at the gate, he clearly knew that the gate in front of him was a fake, an illusion, but when he touched it with his hands, he could still feel the solid wood, and he would still have a perception that the gate was real.

It was also the influence of this cognition that Leo could only destroy the latch of the door in the normal way, and then opened the door and walked in.

After entering the gate, I saw a well-preserved village, but there was no one in the village and it was empty.

Sylvia walked in behind Leo, holding the familiar repeating crossbow in her hand, looked around vigilantly, and after finding no danger, she couldn't help asking: "I remember that there was a document that mentioned , There are countless unkillable monsters and corpses in this village, why are there nothing now?"

"Could it be..." Leo, who also didn't find any dangerous objects, also showed doubts, but he suddenly thought of something, and said: "The things we solved in the forest before, could it be here? Monsters and corpses, right?"

Sylvia froze for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's possible."

Although they made such a guess, neither of them was completely relieved. They remained vigilant and walked towards the church in the center of the village, and soon came to the church of the King of the Hill.

"Did you feel it?" Sylvia suddenly asked Leo the moment she stood in front of the church.

"Feel what?" Leo asked without remembering.

"The breath of the abyss." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Leo frowned, and immediately invoked the power of the crystal serpent in his arm.

Through the crystal serpent, he also clearly felt that there was indeed a strong abyssal atmosphere in the church of the king of the hill, which reminded him of Death Valley.

After discovering this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, then got off their horses, prepared their weapons, and retreated to the church door, looking inside the church.

The exterior wall of this church is built with this unique white pine, and then coated with a special white paint made of white pine branches and leaves, which can better prevent corrosion and moisture, and under the sunlight, this white building can also Bursts of light radiate outward, looking very holy.

However, the interior of such a seemingly incomparably holy building is full of evil aura. Bloody corpses hang on the roof. These corpses seem to have just died, and blood is continuously flowing down, and some blood runs along the walls. It flowed, staining the walls red, and some blood fell directly on the ground, forming a puddle of plasma on the ground, which looked extremely slippery when stepped on.

Inside the church, a tall naked figure as tall as a giant knelt in front of the shrine of the hill king, and the statue of the hill king in the shrine where the giant knelt down had been reduced to a pile of crushed stone.

I saw that the giant seemed to be repenting, and kept whipping himself on the back with the ascetic flail whip. Every time he whipped, there would be several more wounds on his back, and blood and black oil mixed with blood were left from the wounds. When the black oil substance falls on the ground, it will merge with the blood plasma on the ground,

"Bishop Wilson!" Sylvia suddenly said a person's name at this time.

Leo turned to look at her, she pointed to the holy crown placed in the altar, and said: "There used to be Bishop Wilson of the Church of the Hill King who tried to solve the problem here, but..." She said nothing. Go on, because the ending is self-evident, and then she said: "Bishop Wilson was considered the most likely to become the Pope of the Church of the Hill King, and he was also considered the son of the Hill King, and almost everyone He is considered by all to be the most devout son of the Hill King in the world, for he is the only Hill King follower who can perpetually maintain the Eucharist."

"The Holy Body of the Hill King?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is it the body of a giant?"

Sylvia nodded.

Leo didn't say anything more. He drew out the great sword of the abyss and walked in. Sylvia also replaced the hand crossbow with a more powerful king and queen.

Although the ground is covered with a layer of plasma, which is extremely slippery, it has no effect on Leo or Sylvia. They distribute a layer of power under their feet, which can directly ignore the slippery plasma, just like stepping on solid ground. Same.

The moment the two entered the church, the giant had already noticed something, stopped enlarging his body, and said in a slightly accented Maris Kingdom language: "Who are you? You are here to help me escape person?"

"Yes." Sylvia said: "Bishop Wilson, we are the church to help you get rid of it, and let the incarnation of our lord return to the god position, and clean up the filth here."

"That's good, that's good!" The giant murmured, slowly stood up from the ground, then picked up the shield next to him, turned around suddenly, and shouted at them: "Then let me go!" !"

I saw that compared to the giant's back, the giant's front had completely lost its human form, a completely distorted head was filled with sharp-toothed mouths, and inside each mouth was a tongue with glasses, extending from the neck down. Everything became transparent. Inside his transparent body were not internal organs, but hideous monsters. These monsters tried to get out of the giant's body, but they were always blocked by an invisible force.

Sylvia didn't hesitate to raise the Kingdom Dynasty giant and fired several bursting bullets in a row. Although the giant was seeking relief, it didn't mean he was doing nothing. His survival instinct still made him do nothing when faced with an attack. Defensive and counterattack actions.

I saw that almost at the same time as Sylvia shot, the giant had already blocked the giant shield in his hand in front of him, instantly blocking Sylvia's bullet.

However, he had obviously never encountered an exploding bullet before. When he thought he was blocking the bullet, the explosive force generated by the bullet exploded instantly, directly shattering the shield in his hand, and the remaining force rushed towards him.

However, at this time, the blood plasma on the ground suddenly gushed out and directly wrapped him up, turning into layers of buffer layers, weakening the power of the bullet's burst layer by layer.

Seeing that the burst bullets had no effect, Sylvia immediately replaced the queen and shot him.

It's just that the moment the bullet was fired, the huge figure sank into the ground along with the blood plasma, easily dodging the attack of the penetrating bullet.

Although Bishop Wilson dodged the attack of the penetrating bullet, he couldn't dodge the attack of Leo's coordinated pattern. Just as Sylvia shot the bullet and the opponent sank into the ground, Leo's figure moved quickly, He rushed down a corner of the church in an instant, and then saw him inserting the great abyss sword in his hand into the ground fiercely, and the power of his blood was attached to the great abyss sword.

A loud scream came from the ground, and the entire church trembled violently because of the scream.

However, Leo didn't stop attacking at this point, a crystalline soul gun quickly condensed in his hand, and he smashed it directly to the place stabbed by the great sword of the abyss, the whole ground instantly crystallized, and at the same time, some unpleasant sounds It came out from the ground, and the ground began to arch upwards, as if something wanted to drill out.

Seeing this situation, Leo immediately drew out the great sword of the abyss and quickly retreated, while Sylvia on the other side aimed the king and queen in his hand at the arched position, and fired successively.
