The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo who entered the woods did not leave, but quickly arranged some traces that looked like he had left, and then quickly moved from the shadow of the woods to the edge of the land.

When Leo stood on the edge and saw the land in front of him, he immediately felt extremely weird.

There may not be any abnormalities in this piece of land in other places. Anyone who looks at it will only think that it is a barren grassland that has been abandoned for many years, but it looks extremely weird when placed in this hunting ground forest, because there is no land on this piece of land. When a sapling grows, even if it is a barren grass, it is only a few inches high, just enough to submerge the instep.

If you look down from above, you will find that this barren grassland is an unconventional circle, so regular that it seems to be drawn with a compass, and the surrounding trees grow very strangely, not only the roots will not Growing towards this place, even the branches and leaves on the top will reverse their direction before growing to the sky above this place, forming a flat tree wall surrounding the wasteland in a weird way.

Leo has seen this kind of scene before, it is the trees on the edge of the Black Forest, but the tree wall formed by the Black Forest trees seems to be isolating the invasion of the outside world, defending the Black Forest, and the tree wall in front of him is more like It is blocking the spread of the wasteland.

Feeling that something was wrong with this wasteland, Leo immediately used his mental net to explore the underground part of this wasteland, and soon he discovered something.

The land where the surrounding woods are located has to go down at least a hundred meters to reach the rock layer, but Leo's mental network feels that the wasteland in front of him is only less than ten meters of soil layer, and further down is a huge rock , the size of the rock is exactly the same as that of the wasteland, and the rock as a whole presents a perfect spherical shape. No matter how you look at it, it can be inferred that this giant spherical rock with a diameter of more than 200 meters is definitely not formed naturally.

Leo tried to infiltrate the spiritual net into the rock to see if he could find anything interesting, but as soon as the spiritual net touched the rock surface, it was immediately dispersed by a tyrannical wave of psionic energy that appeared out of thin air.

"Damn it!" The scattered mental network had a certain impact on Leo, making him feel like someone had stabbed his brain with a knife. Fortunately, this severe pain didn't last long, and it gradually weakened. It won't have any impact on thinking, but the scattered mental network needs to be rebuilt and cohesive, and there is no way to use it for the time being.

At this moment, Leo deeply felt that the more things in the dark world he came into contact with, the less effective the use of spirit net skills would be. It seemed that people in the dark world had some methods to guard against mysterious abilities similar to the spirit net.

For him now, the spiritual net will become a double-edged sword in many cases, and he may hurt himself if he is not careful, and the stronger the spiritual net, the stronger the damage.

Just like just now, if his mental net was a little stronger, the damage to him from the psionic wave on the rock would be more lasting and stronger, and he would not only feel a headache, but might have an impact on his spiritual origin.

"It seems that you should be more careful when using the spirit net in the future." Leo now understands why there are many marked cautions and taboos in the spirit net skill information of the Earth Federation. Obviously, the psykers of the Earth Federation also Encountered a similar situation.

After the headache had completely disappeared, Leo began to retrieve the data collected during the impact of the psionic wave from the secondary brain system. When he saw that the index of the psionic wave intensity in the data was After more than nine hundred, the whole person was stunned.

The psionic strength index is calculated according to the standards of the Earth Federation. The strength is directly linked to the spiritual base value of the psychic. The calculation method is the strength after releasing all the psionic energy reserves of oneself in an instant. For example, if Leo's current basic spiritual value is 27 points, then his psionic energy reserve is 270 points, corresponding to his psionic strength index is 270 points.

Another example is the wave of psionic energy he encountered in Silvermoon Castle. After analyzing the data collected by the sub-brain system, the intensity of the psionic energy was 440 points. Therefore, the spirit of the person who released the wave of psionic energy The basic value should be forty-four points, reaching the strength of a fourth-level psyker.

If it is calculated according to this method, then the creator of the psychic energy wave just now has more than 90 points of spiritual base value, which is enough to be compared with the ninth-level psykers of the Earth Federation, and the next step is the interstellar-level psykers , can also evolve into an Omega-level advanced creature.

However, such an algorithm is not very accurate. For example, people with psionic devices and psionic weapons may greatly increase their psionic strength with the help of external forces, but no matter how much they increase, it is impossible to exceed twice their own psionic strength. , so the bottom line of the lowest spiritual base value of the psionic energy wave just now should be more than 50 points.

Even if it is halved, the fifth-level psyker with more than 50 points of basic psychic power is still the object that Leo needs to look up to. This is the psyker who really masters the skills of extroverting the spirit, not Leo who passed through it like this. A pseudo-level 5 psyker who created a spiritual chain by taking advantage of tricks.

While looking at the data, Leo also redisplayed the images sorted out from the spiritual network feedback data in his eyes, and after watching the simulated image of the entire spiritual network being washed away, he also realized that the source of the spiritual energy wave was not other The place is this spherical rock under the barren land.

Because when Leo's spiritual net touched the rock surface, some patterns composed of spiritual energy suddenly appeared on the rock surface, and then the power contained in all the patterns exploded instantly to form a spiritual energy wave that washed away the spiritual net.

Leo could vaguely recognize from some small features of those patterns that this pattern should be part of the basic root of the Gamore language, but it does not belong to the basic root of the Gamore language, nor does it belong to Turing root.

"The three-dimensional font of Gamore language!" At this moment, Leo couldn't help but think of the three-dimensional font that Rembrandt mentioned belonged to the realm of the gods. It seems that only this font fits the scene he sees now.

He only mastered the basic radicals of Gamore language last night, and today he saw the more advanced Turing radicals and three-dimensional radicals of Gamore language. This made Leo feel that the luck he got from the Black Forest seemed to be Restoring, otherwise how could things be so coincidental.

Thinking about the things he encountered, he was going to check the situation of this land, but on the way, he encountered someone who forced him to send things here. He just saw the root of Turing in the hut, and he experienced a three-dimensional experience here in a blink of an eye. The power of the root, this can only be described as good luck, and this kind of luck made him feel inexplicably unsteady, just like in the Black Forest.

"Don't worry about it! Let's do it! It's useless to think about it now when the problem comes to an end." Leo shook his head vigorously, cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and refocused on the Badlands.

Leo remembered that the old man Rembrandt said that the three-dimensional root is the domain of the gods. Obviously, the strength of the spiritual power just now is far from the power of Omega-level advanced creatures. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Leo to escape so easily.

Based on some data, Leo guessed that the huge rock ball buried in the ground should actually be a magical object made by an ancient wizard. When the wizard made this wizard wonder, it was obviously not strong enough, so it only had more than 500 psionic strength.

Just when Leo speculated about the origin of the underground rock sphere, those people had already gathered in the middle of the wasteland, each took out the wood they had prepared long ago, and built a simple temporary altar, and then, except in the surrounding forest, Except for the mountain people in charge of guarding, all the other mountain people, men, women, old and young, all knelt around the altar, as if they were performing some kind of prayer ceremony.

At this time, Leo heard a sound of walking in the distance from the forest. It seemed that the mountain people in charge of the guards had arrived here, so he jumped up with both feet, grabbed a branch above his head, and used both hands and feet to climb. When I arrived at this big tree, I was hidden among the dense branches and leaves, quietly waiting for the next big show.

Not long after, a group of ten mountain people walked through the dense forest under his feet. Apart from ordinary knives and crossbows, the equipment on this group of mountain people also had a few sealed test tubes stuck in their waists. , the test tube is filled with some purple gas, which should be some kind of stimulating agent like adrenaline.

Leo, who was on the invisible tree, really wanted to know what effect the potion could have, but felt that the timing was wrong, so he endured it and didn't do anything.

After that, after waiting for a while, there was a slight commotion in the forest on the other side of this wasteland, as if a large group of people were approaching, and then they saw a man who was dressed like ordinary people Surrounded by many guards, the old man walked towards this wasteland.

Just when the old man's feet were standing on this wasteland, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, kissed the ground with a very respectful expression, picked up a little soil from the ground, and threw it into the air, letting the soil fall on the body.

The guards of more than 20 people around him seemed to understand the old man's intentions, and they did not hide from the mud falling from the sky. They were always on guard for any abnormal movements around them.

Although the guards were all wearing ordinary clothes, the weapons they wore were not ordinary at all.

Through his spiritual vision, Leo could clearly see that these people were all wearing knightly swords with an obvious religious aura, and they all carried a mechanical crossbow with a repeating arrow box on their backs, and at least five of them walked to stand. All of them have obvious characteristics of knights, and it is obvious that the five of them are specially trained church knights.

The reason why Leo was able to easily identify the five church knights among these people was because he obtained the memories and information of that knight's life from the twins.

Although Leo's dual-wielding cross swords are only usable, but in terms of distinguishing all kinds of knights who are worthy of names in ancient times, there are no more than ten people in Velen who can compare with him. After all, the knight who used Gemini was also one of the strongest knights in the world back then, and he was also the strongest knight of the Orthodox Church at that time.

After recognizing that these five people were all qualified church knights, Leo was a little surprised by the background of the mysterious church in front of him, because he could know from the memory of that knight alone that a church wanted to train a qualified church knight. How difficult it is to teach knights.

Take the Akenaya Church in Cage City as an example. Even though they rely on the wealth contained in the relics of the Nilgardians, after so many years, they have not trained a qualified church knight. Mutated priests made by alien cells.

In his memory, any qualified church knight has the power to block a hundred with one, and also has a unique secret method belonging to the church, which can increase his strength tenfold in a short period of time.

Take the five church knights beside the old man as an example, as long as they cooperate properly, they can withstand thousands of well-trained troops in ancient times.

However, the current situation is different from the ancient times. After all, in terms of the power of bows and crossbows alone, the current mechanical crossbows have far exceeded the ancient wooden crossbows by more than ten times. In addition, the steel used to make swords is not Compared with ancient times, this has also narrowed the gap in strength between church knights and ordinary people a lot.

It is also for this reason that many Orthodox churches only recruit a few apologists, and will not take the initiative to train church knights.

After all, I have worked hard for more than ten years, and the church knight who has just become a talent has not had time to play a role, and was killed by a group of ordinary people with mechanical bows and crossbows. No one would do such a loss-making business.

However, the mysterious church in front of me is obviously running counter to the mainstream thinking. It not only trained church knights, but also trained five church knights at one time. Judging from the appearance of these five church knights, their age is at most three years old. In his early teens.

At this time, Leo weighed each other's strengths in his mind, and he found that if the five church knights were as strong as the ancient church knights, he would have absolutely no chance of winning a melee battle with them, so if he wanted to do something If anything, you can only rely on the psionic bullets of the king and queen.

Just when Leo was considering the difference in strength between the two, the people who had set up the altar here had already greeted the old man. The mysterious man in the cloak took off the hood on his head and held the The skin was given to the old man.

"Why is it him?" When Leo saw the mysterious man who covered his face with a hood, he couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart, because he found that this mysterious man turned out to be the mainland that should have been dead and dismembered. speaker of parliament.

At this moment, the alive and kicking speaker of the Continental Parliament lowered his posture, showing great respect in front of the old man, and when the old man was walking towards the altar, he followed closely behind the old man, and his position was still above the church knight. The rest of the people Then he trails at the end, obviously his status in this church is not low.

Leo didn't keep his eyes on the old man for too long, because he had a feeling that if he focused too much on the old man, the old man might notice something abnormal, just like his spiritual perception.

At this moment, Leo was thinking about whether he should take advantage of the fact that the other party was not prepared, or wait for these people to complete some religious ceremony before doing so, and suddenly felt that something was wrong around him.

Because according to his calculations, there should be a group of mountain guards patrolling here, but the surrounding area is very quiet, not even the sound of walking.
