The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the surrounding scene returned to the original forest, Leo and Sylvia's nervousness eased a little, and they continued to walk forward along this shortcut.

However, after they walked a certain distance, some strange scenes appeared around them again, such as being surrounded by water, as if they had sunk into the bottom of the sea, or like the surroundings turned into thick fog, some creepy scenes The figure moves through the thick fog.

However, no matter how the scene outside the shortcut passage changes, as long as Leo and Silvia don't leave the shortcut passage, they will not encounter any danger.

So, after this strange scene appeared more times, Leo and Sylvia's emotions also became calm. No matter how dangerous the scene outside indicated, they were able to calmly face everything that happened outside. .

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a light that was completely different from the surrounding light appeared at the end of the passage ahead, and both Leo and Sylvia could feel a watery breeze hanging in from the outside.

"It's here!" Leo looked towards the end with his eyes. His eyes passed through the shortcut passage, and he saw the mirror-like lake outside the passage.

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia turned her head and looked outside the shortcut passage, and also saw some images of the lake with her extraordinary eyesight.

"The situation at the end of the passage seems to be different from what we see now?" Sylvia turned her head to look at the scene outside the shortcut passage at this moment, only to see that the outside is no longer a natural scene such as fire or water. , but the starry sky, as if they were surrounded by stars, this kind of scene is not scary, but very beautiful.

"Don't worry, just treat them as illusions. The mirror lake at the end of the passage is real." Although Leo said so, his eyes glanced at the starry sky outside the passage inadvertently, quickly He remembered the distribution of planets in the starry sky outside, and soon discovered that the star map outside was not a product of random exploration, but a real map of galaxies. Unfortunately, he didn't remember where he saw this galaxies It’s a picture, and I didn’t find this galaxy map in the database, it just feels familiar.

Soon Leo and Sylvia came to the exit of the passage. The two of them did not leave in a hurry, but checked the outside, and came out after they found nothing abnormal. It was just as they walked out of the shortcut passage In an instant, the trees, shrubs, etc. in the passage behind all changed back to their original appearance.

Looking at the original forest behind her, and at the extremely silent environment around her, Sylvia couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's really depressing here, a kind of deadly depression! It reminds me of The silent place of the abyss."

The Silent Place of the Abyss is just like its name, a weird place without any sound. All creatures that enter there, no matter how powerful they are, cannot make any sound there, and the place where the Silent Place appears is not fixed. appear anywhere, so there will often be Abyss creatures falling into the seven

Although it has such a powerful restraining power, the Quiet Place will not cause any harm to the intruders, but the intruders will not like this weird place that is so quiet that they can't even hear their own heartbeat.

In the Abyss Orochi inheritance memory that Leo got, the content about the Quiet Place is also very strong, because the Abyss Orochi is very afraid of the Quiet Place, as if there is something extremely dangerous there.

When Sylvia mentioned that the surrounding environment was a bit like a quiet place, Leo couldn't help feeling the same, because at the moment he entered here, there was no sound around him except for the sound from his body, even his own. The energy fluctuations sensed by his mental network were also like stagnant water, giving him a weird feeling of suffocation as if he was being flooded.

"I don't like this place either!" Leo told his feelings truthfully, then turned his head to look at the dead lake in front of him, and said, "Let's find the entrance to the Deer Park Forest as soon as possible, and get out of here!"

"Isn't the entrance this Mirror Lake?" Sylvia said, looking at the dead lake surrounded by towering trees along the edge.

Leo didn't answer, and jumped directly into the lake in front of him, and then the lake surface rippled like an ordinary water surface, and nothing else happened.

"It seems that it's not as simple as jumping into the lake." Leo climbed out of the lake and said while using spiritual power to clean up the water on his body.

Sylvia gave Leo a white look, blaming Leo for his reckless behavior just now, then she went to the lake and squatted down, watching the slow news of the ripples on the lake, the lake calmed down again, and said: "Would it be Is it related to that silver moon reflection?"

"The reflection of the silver moon?" Leo froze for a moment, followed Sylvia's finger, and looked into the lake.

I saw that the reflection of a bright moon appeared on the lake in the middle of the mirror lake. Seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help but looked up at the sky and frowned.

Sylvia also noticed Leo's expression and looked up at the sky. However, she found that there was no moon in the sky, only endless stars. Obviously, the reflection in the lake was not the sky here.

"It looks like the entrance is there," Sylvia said.

Leo nodded, but instead of jumping into the lake as recklessly as before, he took out a monitor lens obtained from Lanxi City and linked it to the general-purpose recorder on his wrist as a signal detection weapon, and then threw it towards the silver moon in the lake.

The monitor lens that just fell into the center of the silver moon did not stir up any splashes, and was submerged in the water. The recorder in Leo's hand showed that the signal of the monitor had disappeared, and the last picture of the signal was bright.

Although it is not certain that the monitor lens that fell into the silver moon was transferred to Luyuan Forest through some kind of space channel, Leo can be sure that the monitor has not been damaged.

"There should be no danger." Leo turned off the recorder, explained the situation, and then said: "Wait a minute, I'll go down first, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll send you a signal back."

"Signal?" Sylvia looked at Leo puzzled.

Leo pointed to another general-purpose recorder on Sylvia's wrist, and said, "As long as the distance between the two general-purpose recorders is not too far, a short space link can be formed."

Sylvia suggested: "In this case, it's not better to just throw this thing over, and we won't be in any danger."

"No one is wearing it. It is impossible to activate the general-purpose recorder." Leo shook his head, signaled Sylvia not to worry, and then flew up without any nonsense, jumped off the top of the silver moon in the water, and fell down .

When Leo's toes touched the silver moon, he immediately felt a strong pulling force pulling him into the silver moon, and then a light flashed in front of him, and he appeared in midair, as if falling Like a falling stone, it slammed down toward the mirror lake below.

Fortunately, Leo had already made preparations, adjusted his posture in the air, and then spread his psionic wings, gliding through the air, and landed on the edge of Mirror Lake.

After getting down on the ground, Leo looked around, and spread out the mental net to check the surrounding environment.

Judging from the details of the trees and shrubs in the forest, there is no difference between this place and the previous Black Forest, and the surrounding energy fluctuations are also like stagnant water like Mirror Lake, but there are also differences, such as the scene of the sky is no longer that kind. There is no change in the starry sky, but it has become a normal sky, there is a moon, although there is more than one moon, there are also stars, the stars are big and small, and you can feel that they are moving slowly, just like a normal starry sky like.

Noticing any danger around, Leo immediately turned on the universal recorder and contacted Sylvia.

As Leo said, as long as they don't leave the range of the general-purpose recorder's signal, two general-purpose recorders that have passed the authorization code can contact, and this range is very large, almost like a galaxy.

When the two general-purpose recorders got in touch, Leo immediately called up the location of the signal source, and he found that the distance between him and Sylvia had reached six million kilometers.

Leo quickly recovered from the shock, because he thought that if the complete body of the Black Forest is a huge world tree, and every forked branch of the world tree forms small worlds like Velen, then The distance of six million kilometers is not so incredible.

After notifying Sylvia and mentioning some precautions, it didn't take long to see Sylvia appear out of thin air above the lake. Because of Leo's reminder, Sylvia quickly adjusted in the air After a moment of stature, the blood power formed a wing like an abyssal dragon behind her, gliding through the air, and landed beside Leo.

"Here..." Just as Sylvia was about to say something, she suddenly looked around vigilantly, and at the same time gathered her blood power, ready to attack at any time.

Although Leo on the side was not as aggressive as Sylvia showed, he also looked at the surrounding woods with the same vigilance.

Afterwards, they saw naked centaurs holding bows and arrows shining with silver light, or holding a spear made of some kind of animal bone in their hands. They all watched Lei with vigilance. Ou and Sylvia, as if they were some kind of terrible monster.

Seeing that the bow and arrow and the spear were aimed at herself and Leo, Sylvia had a displeased expression on her face, and an inexplicable anger could not help but arise in her heart. She was about to use her prepared strength to teach these things a lesson. Centaur.

"Wait." Leo reached out and pressed Sylvia's hand, then raised the hand wearing the contract ring, and guided the white deer mark on his body, and an illusion of a white deer appeared behind him image.

Seeing the image of the white deer appearing behind Leo, and feeling the power of the white deer emanating from Leo's body, the surrounding centaurs immediately put down their weapons and did not show any aggressiveness. Leo talked, retreated into the woods one by one, and disappeared.

"What's this?" Seeing these leaving centaurs, Sylvia withdrew her strength and said with a smile, "Just leave like this without saying a word."

"Will you talk to two monsters you've never seen before?" Leo also withdrew the power of the White Hart Mark and asked back.

Sylvia smiled and said, "If that monster is interesting, I'm interested in talking."

"In the eyes of those little guys, you are not very interesting, especially your power has such a strong smell of the abyss." At this moment, the voice of an adult woman suddenly came from a big tree not far away, followed by I saw a big green deer with colorful antlers, whose skin seemed to be covered with moss, coming out of the big tree.

Both Leo and Sylvia could feel that the power aura emanating from this green deer was very strong. Sylvia couldn't clearly know how much stronger it was, but had a vague feeling that it was at least much stronger than her own, but Leo could analyze it. The energy fluctuation of the green deer has at least reached the level of an eighth-level psyker, only slightly worse than that of the white deer.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Leo Dodd." Although Green Deer didn't show any malice towards Sylvia for other reasons, he didn't like the strong abyssal aura on Sylvia, so he didn't talk to Sylvia at all. With the idea of ​​greeting her, she turned directly to Leo and said, "I am Beirutus, the envoy of the Lord."

"Beirutus?" Before Leo could speak, Sylvia looked at the green deer in surprise and said, "Beirutus, the nature walker."

When Leo heard the words, some information about Belust also appeared in his mind.

In the world of Velen, it is recognized that the only god related to nature is the mother of plants. Others, such as the gods of the swamp, are only a little bit of the edge of nature. There was a natural deity, and this deity was Beirutus, the nature walker.

According to legend, the Black Forest in the Velen World was created by this Beirutus, and he was also one of the most important patron gods of the Black Forest tribe at that time, and his status was similar to that of the White Deer.

However, after the tribal period ended and entered the kingdom period and empire period, the legend of the nature walker Beirutus gradually disappeared, and only some ancient books mentioned this god of reason. Leo also came from the Death Valley Wizard Tower I saw records about this god in his collection.

"Isn't Nature Walker an old man wearing thorns?" Leo said with some doubts.

Before Sylvia could answer Leo's question, a burst of light shone from the green deer in front of them. After the light disappeared, they saw an old man with thorns and long rainbow hair standing in front of him. .

"It's been a long time since I became like this, I'm not used to it." The old man tidied up his thorny clothes, then said to Leo and Sylvia, "Let's go! There is still a long way to go to Deer Park. "
