The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

While sorting out the Black Forest materials, Leo absorbed the contents of the materials.

As he expected, the real Black Forest is definitely not as simple as what he saw. It is just a forest. This is actually a world, a world that may be bigger than the continent of Velen and Minsk put together. , and there is not only one piece of such a large world, but countless pieces.

Just like the Aishali Forest, the Black Forest seems to be a part of a huge tree, and each layer of branches and leaves constitutes a world, but compared to the Aishali Forest, which can directly penetrate the trunk of each layer of the world, the black forest There is no visible trunk running through the worlds of each layer of the forest, but only invisible passages, which are somewhat like subspaces.

According to the information provided by Guangren, the world formed by each layer of branches and leaves is independent. For example, the world they are in now is called Night Realm, which is divided into more than 20 regions, and each region is managed by a different powerful existence. , these powerful existences are undoubtedly the ancient existences that fled into the black forest for refuge.

What are the names of these existences, where are their domains, etc., the light man provided no information, because she had never been to those places, she could only learn from the few brains of some Black Forest creatures who wandered here by mistake. Memory, piece together a relatively complete geographical map.

In addition, those areas with strong presence have their own separate names, while the areas without names are collectively called Black Forest.

The white deer has a lofty status in the entire Black Forest world. The reason why the light people have it is that the White Deer once taught it here for a while, but not every creature living in the Black Forest respects the White Deer so much. In the eyes of many powerful beings who have mastered a certain area in the world, the status of Bailu is no higher than them, and some even have a hostile relationship with Bailu.

What really attracted Leo's attention was the way to go to the Deer Park Forest. The method provided by Guangren is very simple, that is, go to the nearest Mirror Lake. There is a direct passage leading to the Deer Park Forest in the lake. Just jump into the lake and you Go directly to Deer Park Forest.

It's just that going to Mirror Lake is a bit troublesome. One is a straight route and needs to pass through two troublesome places, one is called Xiaoluyuan, and the other is the edge of the region controlled by a powerful existence.

As the name suggests, the Little Deer Park is a replica of the Deer Park. This is where some branches of the Deer Park live. There are such places in many places in the Black Forest. The Little Deer Park is their collective name.

Because of their relationship with Deer Park, they have a certain status in the Black Forest, and it also makes them do some extraordinary things by virtue of their special status.

Once someone hurts them, it will easily arouse the hostility of the Deer Park, which in turn will cause the entire Black Forest to generate a repulsive force. This is absolutely fatal to the creatures that inhabit the Black Forest, so they want to pass through places like the Little Deer Park safely. , without getting in trouble.

However, this is not too much trouble for Leo, because the contract ring that Leo wears represents his identity, and those creatures in Little Deer Park will not offend those who wear the contract ring.

Compared with Little Deer Park, the real trouble is actually the area controlled by that powerful being. The light people don't know much about that area. The only thing they know is that the creatures in the Black Forest are very afraid of that area. They are so afraid that even The edge of that area is also unwilling to approach.

If you don't take the shortest straight line, then you need to take a detour, which will be very far away, and the bare people don't know how far it is, but only know that there used to be a flying bird that lived in the Black Forest. It took forty full moons to reach Mirror Lake.

People of light don't know how many days there are when forty full moons are converted into the time of the Velen world, but from the information provided by the people of light, there is no day in this layer of the world, it's all night, so it's called the night world, and the sky hanging in the sky The moon is the only time standard. There is no standard for how much time is converted into a full moon, but it is estimated to be at least forty or fifty days.

Calculated in this way, if the painting takes a detour, it may take several years, and that is still flying speed, not walking speed.

Therefore, if you don't want to waste time, you can only choose to walk in a straight line through an area controlled by an ancient and powerful existence.

In addition to the knowledge about geographical routes, Leo also mastered a lot of knowledge about most of the species in this layer of the Black Forest from that knowledge, which at least made it difficult for him to find some extraordinary creatures when he encountered them. the correct response.

After sorting out all the knowledge systems, Leo's attention returned to the knowledge about the overall form of the world, although the information given by the light man did not mention what the complete form of the world was. It looks the same, but Leo still thinks of the world tree creation theory passed down from the Mosang continent from the way of dividing the worlds of each layer similar to the Aishali Forest.

The world tree creation theory appeared in the mainstream society of the Vinylon world very late. When the Vinylon continent and the Minsk continent successively discovered the Mozambique continent, and began to colonize the Mozambique continent and began to communicate with the wilderness tribes, this kind of creation theory came from Mozambique spread to the other two continents.

However, because this kind of creation theory is contrary to the mainstream religious classics of the Vinylon world, it has always been suppressed by the churches of the true God with the Orthodox Church as the core, and even the underground church is extremely disgusted with this kind of creation theory until In the past two hundred years, the control of the church began to weaken, and the world tree creation theory reappeared, and it was accepted as a folk tale.

In the creation theory of the world tree, the world tree is the main body of the whole world. The stars, moon and sun in the sky are all the fruits of the world tree, and the Vinylon world is just a leaf of the world tree. In the big world, there are countless small worlds like Velen World.

This world tree creation theory seems absurd to the vast majority of people in the world of Velen, but it is widely spread in the wasteland of the Mosang continent. Almost every shaman knows this legend well, whether they believe it or not. Apart from the legend, some people who believe in this legend have even established some church-like beliefs as the core. For example, the way of nature that the witch Tessa Mocha believes in is the belief with the world tree as the core.

After thinking of these, Leo couldn't help but think of the World Tree seed imprint on his body, which was derived from the mother tree seed in Tessa Moka's body.

In the way of nature that Tessa Mocha believes in, in the world formed by each leaf of the World Tree, there is a mother tree, which is the projection of the World Tree in the world of leaves.

This kind of projection will not exist forever. After a period of time, the mother tree will wither and decay, and eventually die. When he dies, a seed will grow, and this seed will germinate and grow again, eventually becoming a new mother tree. .

Although it is only a projection of the World Tree, it is actually a part of the World Tree, so Leo thought that if the Black Forest is also a part of the World Tree, then the imprint of the World Tree seed in his body must be able to exert unexpected power here .

Thinking of this, Leo immediately tentatively stimulated the power of the world tree seed in his body.

Almost when Leo activated the power in the imprint, Leo felt as if he was completely integrated into the surrounding world. All the energy in the whole world resonated with him. Although he couldn't use those energies, he could But it will not be repelled and harmed by those energies.

However, Leo quickly exited this state and stopped stimulating the imprint of the World Tree seed, because he found that the resonance reaction was still dominated by him at the beginning, but soon this resonance reaction became passive acceptance , if it continues, there is only one result, that is, he will be swallowed by the resonance reaction, and he will be integrated with the surroundings.

Although it was only passive for a short time, the energy impact generated by the resonance reaction also had a certain impact on his body. This impact can be bad or good. The bad thing is that his body was slightly injured by the impact, and This kind of injury may not be healed by wizard medicine. The advantage is that the impact actually caused the body's blood power to counterattack, which improved his control over the blood power a lot.

After calming down the discomfort in his body, Leo opened his eyes and wanted to check Sylvia's situation, but at this moment, the light man stood in front of him, bent over, and the face without facial features was facing her. with him.

Although he has no facial features, Leo can still feel the gaze falling on him.

"What's the matter?" Leo asked in a low voice.

"Just now I felt the breath of the Lord on you?" Guangren straightened up and said.

"Master?" Leo thought of the imprint of the World Tree seed in his mind.

"Impossible, how can you have the breath of the Lord?" The light man quickly denied the feeling just now, and then said to Leo: "You guys leave in a while! I am about to fall asleep, and here will temporarily Closed, it could be dangerous if you're still here."

After speaking, before Leo could reply, he sank into the ground and disappeared.

Leo didn't think too much, he packed up the things in the temporary camp, checked Sylvia's situation, put it on his back, and walked out of the open space.

The moment he walked out of the open space, a strong energy storm suddenly erupted in the open space, and Leo, who was just on the edge of the storm, also felt the pressure, and had to build several layers of spiritual shields to barely resist this energy storm.

And after the storm subsided, the open space also disappeared from Leo's eyes. The original open space was already covered with a large number of towering trees, and it didn't look like there was an open space just now.

Leo just looked at the original location of the clearing, and didn't explore where the clearing went, so he turned around and walked towards the direction of Mirror Lake he got from the information.

On the way, Leo also discovered some snoopers hidden in the surrounding forest through his extraordinary five senses, but all of these snoopers stopped at spying secretly, and none of them made an attack, even those who could clearly sense The hostile spies didn't attack Leo either, they just watched Leo leave the area they controlled.

"It seems that this contract ring is more useful than expected." Leo looked at the contract ring in his hand, and muttered in his heart.

Because there was no obstacle, although Leo was carrying a person on his back, he was still traveling very fast. According to his estimation, he had walked at least two to three hundred kilometers in an hour, but what puzzled him was the light man provided A landmark used to identify the location mentioned in the data still did not appear in the eyes.

At first, Leo thought he was going in the wrong direction, so he climbed to the top of the tree and looked around. When he saw the landmark in the distance, where his eyes could barely see the limit distance of the object, Only then did he realize that he might have made a mistake just now, and that was distance.

Obviously, the light man has never left the open space where she is. All the knowledge comes from the brains of those extraordinary creatures in the Black Forest who strayed into the open space. The location landmark that can be reached soon, it is obviously impossible for him to reach it in a short time.

This discovery also made Leo have some doubts about his previous judgment based on the data, but the doubt soon faded away. He didn't intend to change the original decision and chose to take a detour, but remained true to the previous decision. A straight line passes through an area controlled by a mysterious existence.

"Put me down! I feel much better." At this time, Sylvia gradually recovered from a semi-conscious state. She said after looking at the surrounding scenery while lying on Leo's back.

Leo didn't insist either, and put Sylvia off his back, helped her stand on a tough branch beside him, and then told him the route he chose.

Sylvia frowned, questioned for a moment, and said, "Is it a little risky to go directly to the area controlled by the mysterious existence? After all, we don't know whether the mysterious existence is dangerous or not?"

"I can't predict whether there is danger, but it takes too long to take a detour, and I don't want to waste too much time on the road." Leo responded, thought for a while, and explained: "According to reason In other words, the moment I entered the Black Forest, the White Deer should have noticed and found me to complete the transaction, because the White Deer attaches great importance to this ring. But now the White Deer has not appeared, even There is no information at all, so there is only one possibility, that something happened to the white deer, and He had to temporarily put aside the matter of the contract ring. I don't know exactly what trouble the white deer encountered, but I I don't want this trouble to affect my transaction in the end, because what Bailu provided is very important to me, so I will choose the shortest time to go to Deer Park Forest to complete this transaction."

After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia didn't say much, but nodded, expressing her agreement with Leo's decision.
