The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"A diary?" Although Leo didn't think that the middle-aged man might know the secrets of this world, he still picked up the exquisite notebook and read it carefully.

The notebook is not thick, so I finished it quickly, and after reading it, Leo had a thoughtful look on his face.

This notebook is written in an alternative secret language, and all of it is a combination of numbers, which can only be solved by comparing it with the corresponding books.

It's a pity that the person who designed this set of secret language was not very lucky. He happened to pick the books that Leo had read. In addition, Leo is now considered a language master, and he also has a super brain with powerful analysis and data sorting capabilities. It took almost no effort to crack this notebook.

The content of this note is not a diary as Leo guessed, but a bill, which records various goods and receivers, many of which are contraband, such as cherished animals and expressly prohibited The slave trade, and the recipients are some well-known big shots, if this notebook spreads in the Vinylon world, it will definitely cause violent shocks in all countries.

Leo is not at all interested in the impact this ledger can have on the situation in the world of Velen. What he is interested in is the list of goods at the end of the note. That list is the goods on the Queen Mary, and the name of the goods is the Pot of Life. , and Leo's name was emphatically written at the bottom of the list, marked as dangerous.

It is not difficult to see from here that this middle-aged man should be the escort of the cargo of the Queen Mary, and he also knows Leo, and has a certain understanding of Leo. When he was in Venaya Port, he noticed Leo. , so it is specially marked.

When the Queen Mary had an accident, he should have left with other survivors, and came here earlier than Leo, and accepted the bug parasitism in the obsidian badge.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but wondered to himself: "It's just, why did he attack me when he knew I was dangerous?"

Leo was talking, his eyes fell on the obsidian badge, and he looked at the parasite that came out of the middle-aged man. He felt that the reason why the middle-aged man would attack him might be related to this parasite.

This kind of parasite should be able to promote its own evolution by devouring its own kind, and also allow the power of the host to evolve. Many of the parasitic aliens in the universe where the Earth Federation is located have evolved through this method.

In addition, this middle-aged man should have also been dazzled by the powerful power and ability given to him by the parasite, and he did not take Leo who personally marked him as dangerous at all seriously. No matter how dangerous he was in the past, it was impossible beat him.

It can be seen from this that even if this middle-aged man knew Leo, he probably didn't know Leo very well, so he made this wrong decision that cost him his life.

Leo didn't know much about the pot of life mentioned in the middle-aged man's notes. From the information he had read before, the pot of life was definitely one of the most mysterious spiritual items in the world of Velen.

Throughout the history of the Velen world, the pot of life has appeared five times in total, and the five times are different pots of life.

The function of the pot of life, as the name suggests, is to continue the life of the dying person. Whether it is seriously ill or fatally injured, as long as there is still a breath, they can fully recover.

But the shape of the pot of life is different every time it appears, and before using it, no one can know that it is the pot of life.

For example, the pot of life that appeared for the second time was a urinal. The owner of the urinal was a brutal nobleman. Because the servant holding the urinal hurt him, he directly drew his sword and stabbed the servant to death. The servant inadvertently activated the pot of life in his hand and pulled it back from the dead state. The pot of life that had been used once could no longer be used, and the servant's final outcome was naturally inevitable.

But now, the account book of the middle-aged man clearly records that the cargo transported by the Queen Mary is the pot of life. If someone masters this method, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, because everyone hopes to have a treasure that can prolong their life before they die, and can save their lives in critical times.

Therefore, when he saw that the item on the cargo list was the pot of life, Leo did not hesitate to think that either the delivery person was deliberately misled, or the owner of the cargo was also mistaken. Come on, the owner of the goods is more likely to make a mistake.

Leo didn't pay too much attention to the Pot of Life. After all, whether this thing sank to the bottom of the sea or fell to other places has nothing to do with him for the time being. As for the other survivors of the Queen Mary, I'm afraid they also Like this middle-aged man, he has become a parasite, and may even have been swallowed by the middle-aged man.

Putting aside the matters in the notebook temporarily, Leo continued to follow the original plan and left the small building that was both protection and imprisonment.

Obviously, the people in Yam City didn't care whether the people in the small building wanted to leave, so there were no restraints around the small building, and no one held hands.

The moment Leo left the small building, he was frowned by the thick incense smoke around him. A little incense may make people feel comfortable, but too strong incense is enough to make people feel sick, the worst What's more, these incenses indirectly affected his sense of smell, making his sense of smell useless.

And what's worse is that this kind of incense also has an effect on the power to restrain the spiritual energy around the spiritual energy. Originally in the small building, Leo could also use spiritual energy such as spiritual net, and even non-external devices such as spiritual vision. Psionics were also able to be used without any problems, but now none of these psionic skills can be used anymore.

However, the power of devouring, the power of nightmare and the power of shadow are not restricted too much, and they can still be used. This is good news for Leo, after all, there is the power of nightmare to imitate witches. The spell can perform a lot of useful witchcraft, and the power of shadow can also make his own shadow witchcraft be displayed.

Leo walked out of the stone house and looked around. He found that there were many similar stone houses in this giant white city. The thick incense smoke from these stone houses also escaped and spread to the street, forming a cloud of smoke. area.

After checking the surrounding situation, Leo hurried towards the urban area where the Yam people lived according to the same way he came. On the way, he found a lot of sticky mud-like objects on the ground, which seemed to be the one just now. The huge figure remained.

He didn't touch the mud out of curiosity, but cautiously looked for a road without mud and jumped forward, and soon he came to the vicinity of the urban area where the Yam people lived.

I saw that the sandbags filled with obsidian formed a wall to separate the urban area from the white giant city. Inside the wall, a lot of incense was also lit, but the strange thing is that there is not much smoke in the incense, so that The scene of Piancheng District can be seen clearly with the eyes of ordinary people.

The Yam people who were patrolling along the sandbags before are still patrolling back and forth at this moment, but the difference from the appearance of normal people during the day is that their body shapes have changed at this moment, just like the middle-aged man. There are traces of animalization, but the difference is that these traces of animalization are very few.

However, the changes on the surface of the body were secondary. What really caught Leo's attention was that these people exuded not weak spiritual energy fluctuations, which were completely different from ordinary people during the day, and these spiritual energy fluctuations were very strong, almost Each is equivalent to a level two or three psyker.

This is just the patrols that Leo saw. There are more than 100,000 people living in the city of Yam. If there is no accident, the strength of those people is probably similar to these patrols. will be stronger.

Hundreds of thousands of psykers above two levels, let alone in the Vinylon world, even among the psychic civilizations in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, I am afraid that they can rank first in terms of numbers. After all, the most powerful civilization in the universe There are only a few thousand psykers in a powerful psychic civilization, which cannot be compared with what Leo sees now.

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible that there are so many psykers." Leo shook his head quickly after being shocked, denying his own estimation.

The reason why Leo's negative attitude is so firm is entirely because an issue was mentioned in the psychic books of the Earth Federation, that is, how many psykers can be carried and inspired by an ordinary resource planet. The final result of the discussion is Zero three, that is to say, only very lucky people can inspire psionic energy on this planet with only resources and no life.

In addition, some studies have found that only planets with many life forms and certain civilized races are likely to produce more psykers.

If a planet itself has extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuations, then many people living on this planet will also stimulate spiritual energy.

For example, the largest psionic civilization in the universe, Cultivation Civilization, their home planet is such a psionic planet, but even the home planet of Cultivation Civilization can produce less than seventy psykers in total.

The home planet of Xiuci, which is backed by countless resources, can only inspire dozens of psykers, but how can a planet like Velen World have hundreds of thousands of psykers.

So Leo suspects that these psychic users may be fake. Thinking of the parasites in the obsidian badge, he feels that the psychic power of these people is likely to be the same as the energy and strength provided to the body. those bugs.

Although the thick incense smoke caused all kinds of inconvenience to Leo, it also provided him with cover. If there was no thick smoke to block any extraordinary power, I am afraid that he would be discovered the moment he approached the city of Yam.

At this time, suddenly, behind Leo, a cloud of fragrant smoke spread out in all directions as if being squeezed out by some huge object.

Leo didn't think much about it at all, and retreated directly into the shadow of the porch pillars of a huge stone house next to him, activated the power of shadow, and cast shadow witchcraft to directly enter that shadow.

Soon the surrounding incense quickly faded, and then a strange person came out of the dense fog accompanied by the sound of iron rubbing.

I saw that this person was a hunchback. When he walked out of the dense fog, his body was bent over. In the middle of the arched back was a huge and agile eye. His feet were buckled by chains with iron balls. Carrying a chest made of obsidian, it looks like some beggars on the streets of every city.

However, if someone really treats this hunchback as an ordinary person, they will probably suffer a great loss, because Leo has sensed similar spiritual energy fluctuations from this hunchback.

When the hunchback appeared on the other side of the wall surrounded by obsidian sand, all the patrolling Yams became extremely nervous. They took out various weapons and aimed at the hunchback, and sounded the alarm. other people in town.

Seeing this situation, Leo felt that his opportunity had come. Although he also wanted to know who this hunchback was and what power it possessed, it was more important to go to the library in the city to find out the secret purpose of the island, so Now he'd better take advantage of the hunched back to attract attention and sneak into the city in search of the library.

After figuring it out, Leo took action immediately. Before the battle affected him, he used Shadow Leap, quickly moved in the shadows of huge buildings, and quickly entered the city, and followed his instructions. The location of the library observed and analyzed during the day moved over.

During the movement, Leo felt a little puzzled. He originally thought that those obsidian sandbags might hinder him, but the fact is that even if he climbed over those obsidian sandbags and grabbed a handful of obsidian fragments , without any adverse effects.

In addition, shortly after Leo left, there was a roar at the place where he was staying before, and then he felt the ground tremble slightly, and the roars of some people fighting also spread to the surroundings, accompanied by a wave of The psychic energy fluctuated, and it seemed that the hunchback and the Yam patrol had already fought.

It was precisely because of this commotion that other Yam people in the city also came out of their homes, holding weapons, and quickly gathered towards the scene of the incident.

As Leo guessed from his sight, these relatively ordinary Yam people also exude fluctuations in psionic energy, but most of them only have the level of first-level psionic energy.

And, like those patrolling people, these Yam people also had a lot of mutations, some of them had animalization, some of them had a lot of body swelling, but most of them were body organs that mutated.

Just now, a Yam who passed in front of him was covered with large and small hands. Even a person like Leo, who has seen countless strange species, felt extremely weird.

Moreover, what puzzled Leo the most was that he did not find a child or a woman among these Yam people, as if Yam City was a country of men.
