The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The three people who continued on the road did not talk about what they saw last night, but accelerated their speed.

I don't know if it was the good luck brought by the scene last night. They didn't encounter too strong wind and snow all day, they walked smoothly, and they arrived in Cullenville almost in the evening.

Before leaving, Leo collected some information about Cullenville. He found that Cullenville is not just a fishing town. It is also the second largest port in Daliat and the largest fishing port. It is shipped from here to the south every year. The northern catches are numerous everywhere, and the people who live in Cullenville are either fishermen or workers in the catch processing workshops.

Unlike other places that have already used steam engines to process fish, Cullenville has always used manual operations to process fish. In addition to the original delicious silver pike, the supply of fish here is in short supply and the price remains high. , is one of the high-grade ingredients in the world.

Cullenville started as a small fishing village and has now become the second largest port. It has undergone seven expansions. It is only because the builders ignored the urban planning that these expansions made the roads and urban areas of the entire city very chaotic. , almost everyone who comes to Cullenville thinks Cullenville is a huge maze, and if you don't pay attention, you don't know where you have gone.

When the three of Leo came to the outskirts of Cullenville, Cullenville, which was shrouded in blood mist in the distance, appeared in front of them. The blood mist was so thick that the strong sea breeze could not blow it away. Also blurred.

At this time, a team of troops stationed here for a long time to prevent other people from breaking in stopped the three of them, and said that Leo and the others regarded them as those idle curiosity hunters and were about to drive them away.

However, after showing the certificate issued by the palace minister Kerry Fao, these army people understood that Leo and the others were invited by the palace minister to investigate the blood mist, so they no longer prevented the three from entering, but just looked at the eyes of the three There was a little more sympathy, as if they had foreseen that the three of them would never return.

"Did the people who went to investigate in the city leave anything behind?" Leo suddenly stopped him when the soldier officer was about to take people away to continue patrolling elsewhere, and then asked.

The officer looked at Leo, who was in full armor, and then at the two abyss swords, then turned to the soldiers beside him, and said, "Take them to the warehouse, and give them the things left by those people. "

Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately walked up to Leo and asked the three of them to follow him. After walking a certain distance to the north, they came to an abandoned small village on the outskirts of Cullenville.

Now this small village has become a barracks for the garrison army. Because it is not on the front line of the battlefield, the guards here seem to be very lax. They just asked the soldiers a few words and did not verify the situation, so they were let in.

Afterwards, the soldier led the three of them to an open space, pointed to the room in the middle of the open space, and said, "Everything you want is in there. After the person from the previous investigation team disappeared there, the head sealed it up." Now, things are still the same, we haven't touched them."

Leo could see that not only this soldier was very scrupulous about this house, but also other soldiers in the barracks. They did not dare to approach this house, and even demolished the surrounding rooms to make an open space , leaving only this house erected here alone.

"Is there anything weird in this house?" Sylvia, who also found something wrong, asked the soldier directly.

I don't know if it was because of Sylvia's astonishing appearance, or because of her ability, the originally nervous soldier calmed down a little, and then told about the house.

It turned out that after the accident of the last investigation team, some empty-pocketed soldiers in the garrison wanted to see if they could find something from the investigation team's relics to sell, so they switched positions with those soldiers who patrolled at night. After nightfall, everyone fell asleep, and sneaked into this room to steal the things in the room by virtue of their duties.

After that, no one knew what happened to those people in the house. It was only when the soldiers behind them came to change the guard that they were missing, which alarmed the officers in the army.

At first, the officers just thought that these soldiers had left their posts without permission and went to a nearby town to have fun, but when they searched the hut, they found that all the missing soldiers were here, but each of them dug up the hut. Eyes were pierced, ears were pierced, tongues were cut off, and the skin from the chest to the abdomen was peeled off, and these people were still alive at the time and did not die.

Afterwards, after investigation, it was found that the tragic injuries on these people were all caused by themselves, and the things they took out were neatly placed in some jars in the house.

Also because of this incident, everyone in the entire military camp knew that the missing investigation team should have found something from Cullenville, but the palace sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything. Things were temporarily sealed here, and the people in the barracks were also worried about some unforeseen disaster, so they demolished all the buildings around the house and created a simple isolation zone.

After listening to the soldier's narration, Sylvia turned to Leo and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"There is a force entrenched there, very similar to the power of sin." When the soldier introduced the situation, Leo's mental network had already sensed the situation there, and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he walked towards the room, followed by Sylvia and Tessa Mocha.

When she came to the door of the house, Tessa Mocha frowned, looked at the look of disgust on the face of the house, and said, "There are very evil things in here."

Sylvia gave the other party a blank look, and said, "We don't need you to tell us about this kind of thing."

Leo also opened the door at this time, walked in, and said to Sylvia who was about to follow, "Don't come in yet."

After speaking, without waiting for Sylvia's response, she closed the door.

Sylvia frowned, didn't say much, and stood outside the door with Tessa Mocha waiting.

The reason why Leo didn't let Sylvia enter this room was because the power of this room was a bit strange. The moment he opened the door, he felt the big crystal snake in his arm about to move. Obviously, the sinful karma in the room The source of the power of the abyss is inexplicably attracted to the power of the abyss. He worried that the blood of the abyss dragon in Sylvia's body would be attracted by this power, and some unforeseen changes would occur, so he blocked Sylvia at the door outside.

After entering the door, Leo looked at everything in front of him. This room was rebuilt from a warehouse and divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor should be a resting place, while the lower floor is a place for research. Tables, shelves, and some material bottles and tools are placed on these tables and shelves.

Leo sensed the source of the power of sin through the crystal serpent, and walked directly towards the source.

He walked to the second floor and found that the beds and wardrobes on the second floor had been artificially moved aside, leaving a large space in the middle.

There is a pattern similar to a magic circle in the open space, and some transparent jars containing human wonders such as eyeballs, tongues, and human skin are placed around the magic circle, which seems to be performing some kind of ritual.

There is a book in the middle of the magic circle, but this book is very special, it can't be seen with ordinary eyesight, it can only be seen clearly through spiritual vision, this book is the power similar to sin karma source.

The book was right in front of him, but Leo didn't rush forward to pick it up, but carefully looked at the magic circle arranged on the ground.

There is a huge difference between this magic circle and the Turing root layout method in the Vinylon world, and there are no mystical elements related to the Vinylon world in it. It is conceivable that this magic circle should not be from the Vinylon world, just like the runes that Leo knows The magic circle and the warlock magic circle come from other worlds.

Leo tried to find something related to this magic circle in the knowledge of the abyss and sin, and soon he found some clues. There are two symbols in this magic circle that represent the two monsters in the abyss. Sins of Utos and Cards of Gluttony.

There is not much information about these two monsters. Leo just knows that these two monsters are wandering between the abyss and the sinful abyss. They are two very famous monsters in the abyss, and it seems that many abyssal creatures want to kill them , but they have always been able to survive, which means that their strength is extraordinary.

"Is this calling Utos and Ka?" Leo looked carefully again. The scene in front of him was more like a sacrifice, and he couldn't help but think of what he did in Fringilla Manor back then.

Soon he determined that the magic circle was not dangerous, because the magic circle itself seemed incomplete, and the whole ceremony was not completed in the end.

Thinking of this, Leo stepped forward and picked up the transparent book on the ground. The moment he picked up the book, Leo felt a power with both the breath of the abyss and the breath of sin penetrated into his body. Some auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears, and a complete magic circle pattern and ritual flow appeared in his mind, and a strong urge surged in his heart, wanting to complete the magic circle and ceremony.

For ordinary people, this impulse is strong enough to make anyone lose their minds, enough to prompt them to do anything crazy, but for Leo, this impulse is like a breeze, which only makes him feel slightly cool.

And the power that penetrated into his body was swallowed by the crystal serpent before it had time to make trouble, and as the power was swallowed, the transparent book in his hand also revealed its form, and the surrounding energy that caused the crystal serpent to move abnormally Volatility also subsided.

The book in Leo's hands was made of some kind of animal skin, and the surface was engraved with symbols and patterns that would make ordinary people go crazy at a glance. He was not in a hurry to open the book, but held Shu came downstairs, opened the door, and signaled the two people outside to come in.

After Sylvia and Tessa Mocha entered the room, they immediately saw the book in Leo's hand.

The reactions of the two of them when they saw this book were completely different. Tessa Mocha's face became extremely ugly as if she saw something terrible, she closed her eyes, turned her head to one side, and took two steps back. Stay away from this book.

And Sylvia leaned forward, looked at the book in Leo's hand with excitement, and even showed a pleasant smile on her face.

"Do you know what this book is?" Leo asked after seeing Sylvia's performance.

"Hmm!" Sylvia nodded, then looked at Tessa, and said subtly: "Among the knowledge I got, there are records about this book, but in my memory, this book should have been It should be destroyed."

"This book should indeed be destroyed. You can feel the evil of this book just by looking at it." Tessa Mocha suddenly interjected at this time: "I can even feel that nature has been distorted in this book. This book is completely against nature, and I suggest that it be destroyed."

"A fool will destroy it!" Sylvia turned her head and gave Tessa Moka a hard look, and then shouted at her: "Do you know the value of this book? You don't understand anything, but Will also clamor to destroy it!"

"Hmph!" Tessa Mocha didn't refute but just snorted coldly.

"What's the name of this book?" Leo asked.

"It's called Confessions!" Sylvia said in a deep voice.

"Confessions?" Leo couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this name, because judging from this name, it seems to be talking about a church book, not an abyss book.

"The name is weird, isn't it!" Sylvia smiled and said, "No one knows how this book appeared in the abyss, but any abyssal creature who has read this book, if he cannot bear The power of the Confessions will repent from the heart for past mistakes, and then they will sacrifice themselves as the most precious items to the Confessions, including their lives."

"What if you can withstand the power of the Confession?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know." Sylvia shook her head and said, "As far as I know, there seems to be no abyssal creature that can withstand the power of the confession."

After listening to Sylvia's description, Leo frowned slightly, and at the same time, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, because he really couldn't feel any powerful power in this confession.

"This confession is a fake." At this time, Sylvia raised the book and carefully looked at the patterns on it, before saying suddenly.

"Fake?" Leo was not surprised, because he had the same thought in his mind just now.

"If it's a real confession, I'm afraid you and I were infected by it just when we got close, and then went crazy. How could we still have such a peaceful conversation?" Sylvia simply responded, and then touched the cover with her fingers. He touched it and said, "But even if it is a fake, the value of this book is extraordinary. The cover of this book can be made from the skin of a skinner."
