The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The ghost incident that happened on the spaceship at that time was experienced by Leo himself. Everything was just like the ghost incident mentioned in the steward's diary. He clearly saw a person in front of him, but when he approached, he found nothing.

Leo still remembered that there was also a group of researchers whose identities were kept secret in the team recovering the spaceship. The explanation given by this team of researchers was the image illusion caused by the energy field in space and the residual energy field of the human body inside the spaceship, but Leo couldn't help it. Clearly these explanations are complete nonsense.

Because Leo recognized the team of researchers from the Federal First Research Institute from the inadvertently exposed badges of the researchers, it is a bit unusual to use the Federal First Research Institute for an ordinary recovery mission.

In addition, he also heard a small detail that was very similar to the current situation of Castle Black. That detail was that the psykers accompanying the team were restricted to almost disappear after entering the lost spaceship.

Leo still remembered that after the recovery mission was over, the lost spacecraft was dragged into the dock, and then the researchers with the team took one from the lost spacecraft under the protection of another team of security forces waiting in the dock. Seal the box.

Although there are all kinds of ghost legends in the universe, like the lost spaceship, the crew mysteriously disappeared, and the spaceship appeared in the restricted area of ​​psychic energy, but this is the only one. Time thinks of the reason for this.

If only one or two details are the same, it can be said to be a coincidence, but there are too many coincidental details in Castle Black and the lost spaceship, and some of the coincidences are very critical and unique. An equal sign was naturally drawn in my heart, and the key answer to these two things may be in the box that was transported from the lost spaceship back then, and Castle Black or Wanghai Cliff is also stored in the box. thing.

As for the second story of Castle Black that Leo is concerned about, it is related to the Church of the Sea God. Randall’s Church of the Sea God will hold a very special religious ceremony in Castle Black every ten years. In this ceremony, the Church of the Sea God She will choose one of her female devout believers as the sea god's bride, and hold a wedding with the sea god.

And that Bride of Sea God will stay in the Holy Spirit Hall of the church for the next ten years, and the identity of Bride of Sea God will be transferred to other female believers after ten years, while the former Bride of Sea God will be free, and some will be with ordinary people Marry and have children, and some will become the nuns of the church and keep chastity for life.

Finding a bride for the gods has similar ceremonies in various churches in the world of Velen, but the difference in this ceremony of the Sea God Church is that the identity of the bride of the gods can be removed, which is almost blasphemy in other churches the behavior of.

No matter how you look at it, the Church of the Sea God is not a tolerant church, and such a blasphemous thing that allows such an intolerant church to allow the Bride of the Gods to remove her status will make people feel weird.

It's just that this kind of religious matter is not the reason for Leo's attention. After all, this kind of matter has nothing to do with Castle Black. What really attracted Leo's attention was the Sea God's wedding held by the Sea God Church in Castle Black. Finally, the sea god bride must live in the lighthouse of Castle Black for one night, and all brides will have the same dream that night, and this dream is also recorded in detail by the castle steward.

No matter how absurd the contents of these Poseidon brides' dreams at the beginning of their dreams, at the end of their dreams, they will come to a stone palace sunken under the sea. Exactly the same kind of symbol.

Through the description of the Bride of Sea God, the people of the Sea God Church drew down the symbols on the gate of the palace, and the castle steward also copied a copy and kept it in the diary. What is interesting is that all the brides of the Sea God have similar descriptions of the symbols on the stone gate. But the people who heard it drew it according to its description, but they always drew different symbols, even if the same kind of people painted with different descriptions, they were completely different symbols.

After seeing the contents of these diaries, Leo also conducted an experiment. He found that it was indeed as stated in the diary. When I was painting, I couldn't help but draw other completely different shapes.

This situation made Leo wonder if he was being manipulated by a mysterious force, so he carefully monitored the movement of all the forces in his body when he was making a new attempt, but the result still disappointed him, he didn't feel the intervention of any extraordinary power , the body is a completely different symbol drawn uncontrollably and conceived in the mind.

In addition, every description of the Bride of the Sea God corresponds to a symbol, and these symbols are not meaningless symbols.

In the housekeeper's diary, there are a total of seven sea god brides' descriptions of the gate symbol and the corresponding symbols, and when these symbols are put together, Leo can see that there is a similar linguistic relationship between the symbols. Contact, so these symbols should be the basic characters of some language, just like the basic radicals of Gamore language.

However, Leo did not use the seven symbols drawn in the butler's diary as a reference. He built the corresponding shape in his mind based on his own description of the Bride of the Sea God's Bride in the diary about the symbol of the palace gate, and then used it in another form. A form is drawn on paper.

And just as he expected, anyone who sees the seven symbols he drew and the seven symbols on the butler's diary will subconsciously think that they are the same symbol, but after careful analysis, they can find that the symbols Leo drew are more Since the symbols on the butler's diary are more complex and detailed, the gap is like the gap between the basic root and the Turing root.

When he saw the seven symbols he drew, Leo was sure that he had seen these seven symbols before, but what puzzled him was that he couldn't find the corresponding content in his memory, even There are not even similar symbols. The only thing that is certain is that these symbols are definitely not the symbols that should exist in the normal world.

Because even when Leo sees these seven symbols, he will involuntarily feel a disgusting feeling that the world is distorted and everything is completely disordered.

There are countless symbols containing special power like this in the world of Velen, but there is only one kind of power that can distort ordinary people to such a degree in Leo's memory, and that is the power of the abyss.

"The sea god originated from the abyss?" Thinking of this, a bold guess suddenly came to Leo's mind. Although this guess is a little unbelievable, it is reasonable. After all, these seven characters all come from the gate of the sea god's palace. Soon he shook his head and vetoed his guess, because if the Sea God really came from the abyss, then the Lord of the Sky, the King of the Hill and other gods in the Velen world would never allow the Sea God to become a part of the Orthodox Church, and the Sea God Church would also not allow it. It is impossible to be recognized by Vinylon World.

"If the Sea God didn't come from the abyss, then the Sea God might have fought against some kind of existence in the abyss, and was defeated, and was sealed in his own palace." After denying a guess, Leo's mind immediately appeared again. Come up with a new guess, and if the Sea God Church finds out about this guess, they will definitely regard Leo as the biggest blasphemer without hesitation.

However, compared to the previous guess, this new guess made Leo feel that it might be true.

This is not a random guess by Leo, but it is clearly written in the classics of the Sea God Church that the Sea God fell asleep for unknown reasons. When the Sea God wakes up, he will walk out of his palace and regain control of the sea. And will flood the earth with sea water to cleanse all the sins of the world.

Letting a god fall into a deep sleep is a big event no matter what time it is. For example, how the God of Eagle, the predecessor of the Sky Lord, fell, is recorded in detail in the Sky Lord's inner tome.

However, there was only one sentence mentioned in the Poseidon's scriptures about the Seagod's falling into a deep sleep, and it was never mentioned in other scriptures after that, not even the legends from the outside world. It was like sleeping in the beginning.

Now, through the two events recorded in the butler's diary, Leo got at least a few points worth investigating.

First, is the mysterious power surrounding Castle Black related to the encounter in the lost spaceship in his memory, and whether the source of this power is related to the contents of the box transported from the spaceship.

Second, does Castle Black have some kind of connection with Sea God's Palace, is the way the spirit enters Sea God's Palace the ceremony of Sea God's Bride, and is there any way for him to use this ceremony.

Third, does the deep sleep of Sea God have anything to do with the abyss, does it have anything to do with the power of Castle Black, and what does the power of Castle Black have to do with the abyss?

After summarizing several key points of the investigation, Leo slowly said: "It seems that the investigation of these matters should start with the original materials for the construction of Castle Black that the Sea God Church took."

At this moment, Sylvia's voice suddenly came from the master bedroom, shouting: "Leo, come and have a look! Something happened to Irene."

Hearing Sylvia's shout, Leo stood up immediately, opened the door and entered the master bedroom, and as soon as he entered the master bedroom, Leo saw that the whole bedroom was enveloped by a crimson light, and the light The source is Erin.

Leo quickly walked to Irene's side, and carefully inspected Irene's body. He found that Irene's current condition was very good. Not only did her body not show any abnormal changes, but also the crimson light emitted was not Gamma. Rays are just ordinary light, and Leo sensed that the gamma rays in Irene's body seemed to be weakening.

"What's the matter? Is there anything on her..." Although she had only been together for a few days, Sylvia already regarded Irene as her own, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to her.

"It's okay, she's in good condition." Leo made a reassuring gesture, then called out the energy detection device from the general-purpose recorder in his hand, and carefully checked the gamma ray energy on Irene's body, so as not to cause his own perception There was a mistake, but the results displayed on the general-purpose recorder were exactly the same as his guess. The gamma ray energy on Irene's body had indeed weakened.

After getting a definite answer, Leo explained to Sylvia while restoring the universal recorder: "The energy field in the castle also suppressed and reduced the gamma ray energy on Irene's body, and soon The energy on her body will reach a balanced value, and if she finds a way to increase her own life energy at that time, it may be able to reduce the adverse effects of gamma rays on her body."

While speaking, the crimson light from Irene's body burst out suddenly, the light penetrated all the obstacles, and the place where the entire Castle Black was illuminated by the light seemed to become transparent, and through these seemingly transparent Behind the wall, it was found that those who were illuminated by the light behind the wall also showed different colors.

However, Leo and Silvia had no interest in paying attention to the situation of these people, because their attention was all attracted by the scene under their feet.

I saw that the light also caused the roof and land below to become transparent, and when looking down, what Leo and Sylvia saw was a deep darkness, which felt like looking at Lanxi City. The entrance to the abyss, but it is very different.

If the entrance to the abyss in Lanxi City is a living entrance to the abyss, then the deep darkness they see below is a dead entrance to the abyss, and everything gives people a feeling of absolute silence.

The burst of red light was only a momentary thing, and soon the light disappeared, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance, and the red light on Irene also disappeared, and Leo also clearly felt the gamma on Irene's body The rays seemed to disappear, as if the burst of red light just now was caused by the escape of some kind of special power in Irene.

"There should be a problem under the castle," Sylvia said in a deep voice.

Leo also nodded, and suddenly asked: "Can you tear down the castle and dig down?"

"What do you think?" Sylvia gave Leo a white look.

It would be fine if this Castle Black was an ordinary castle, and it wouldn’t be a problem if it was demolished directly, but Castle Black is now linked to the religious rituals of the Sea God Church. It has historical value, if she dares to demolish Castle Black I'm afraid that the people in Port Randall, the scholars of the United Kingdom, and the political enemies of the Kingdom will all attack her.

At that time, no matter how much King Philip trusts him, no matter how important her position in the government is, I am afraid that she will need to consider whether she is suitable to continue to serve in the royal government.

Leo also thought of Sylvia's concerns, smiled, and said: "I need to go to the Church of the Sea God to check the information tomorrow, and I will go to the Municipal Archives in Port Randall by the way, do I need to prepare any documents? "

Sylvia thought for a while, walked to the bed, opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and a pen from it, quickly wrote some identification and other content on it, took off the badge ring on her hand, and printed it in ink Stained some color on it, pressed it on the paper, and handed it to Leo, saying: "Just take it out."
