The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's going on here?" With doubts in his heart, Leo leaned forward and carefully looked at the body of the fire prevention woman in the ruins of the secret room.

It is not very appropriate to say that they are corpses, because most of them have rotted to the point where only bones are left. There are a few corpses that have not completely rotted, and only three corpses are still slowly rotting. The reason why these corpses are all identified as Huofang women is because all the corpses are wearing extremely obvious Huofang women's clothes, and the head is wearing a Huofang woman's mask. The only thing missing is the power in Huofang's hand. cane.

"Could it be that a person is not a fire prevention girl, but a scepter is." Seeing this situation, a thought came to Leo's mind.

After scanning all the corpses, Leo's eyes finally landed on the relatively best-preserved fire female corpse. Although it was almost similar to a mummy, Leo was still able to recognize the fire from some subtle features. The body of Fangnv was the Huofangnv who had communicated with him not long ago, and the cause of death of this Firenvnv was completely different from other Huofangnv.

Judging from the preservation of the bones of the other fire girls, they all died of natural causes. Only this fire girl's body had different injuries, the most serious of which was piercing the heart from the back, which can be said to be fatal. , and judging from the size, width and other details of the scar, it should be a big sword, which made Leo think of the big sword in Seledor's hand. In addition, other wounds include knight swords, battle axes and burns. Wait for traces.

Leo quickly constructed a picture in his mind based on the scars on the corpse. In this picture, the three members of the Baijiao, the three members of the Berserker, the old man who read the book, and Seledor launched an attack on the Fire Defense Girl almost at the same time. Attack, the fire defense girl almost didn't even have a movement to resist, and was killed by their joint efforts.

"Is it premeditated?" Leo thought suspiciously.

It’s just that this idea was only flashed in his mind before being denied by him. Apart from others, it is absolutely impossible for Seredor to be a part of the premeditated plan. I can clearly feel the character of Seredore. In a certain respect, Seredor is very similar to Jason, that's why he is willing to bring Seredor to the royal city.

If it wasn't for the power of the small garden that disturbed the time and space of the royal city, causing him to stagger the time and space at that time, maybe he would explore the royal city with Seredore now, and even help Seredor complete his purpose of going to the royal city.

However, the current situation shows that Seredor also made a move on the fire defense girl he respected very much at that time, and still launched the most fatal blow, which is obviously extremely inconsistent with Seredor's personality.

Either there was something abnormal about the fire girl, and the people in the prayer hall made a secret plan to solve the abnormal fire girl together, or the fire girl was normal, and other people had abnormalities.

"Those idols?" Leo thought at this moment that before he cut off contact with the Fire Defense Girl, Seledor and the others all obtained something by praying to different idols. At this time, he thought about everyone's feelings It was found that it matched the position of Huofang girl's wound, for example, Seredore was standing behind Huofang girl at that time.

"That is to say, there was a change over there, and the moment I lost contact with the fire defense girl, they started at the same time." Leo frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "Is it because there is something wrong with the statue? ?”

Although there is no evidence, judging from all the clues now, it seems that there is something wrong with the statue. When Leo threw the heart of the tree into the bonfire to maintain the flame of the bonfire, some hidden things in the statue were stimulated. While Seredor and the others prayed to the statue and obtained the revelation from the statue, they were also affected by the things hidden in the statue, and they might even have been invaded, and finally launched an attack on the fire girl by coincidence , and work seamlessly with each other.

Leo muttered to himself again, and said, "Why am I okay? Is it because the things hidden in the statue have been stimulated in the past time and space?"

While talking, Leo squatted down, and carefully inspected the body of the fire girl, because the collapse of the secret room just now made the body a bit misplaced, but judging from the position of the body, it was obviously carefully selected Yes, and moved away the corpses of other fire girls around, so that they could lie in a separate open space. It can be seen that someone specially buried the bodies of fire girls here, and this person also I know Huofangnv very well, otherwise it would be impossible to find this secret room dedicated to storing the bodies of Huofangnv from past dynasties.

Soon Leo found a book from under the fire girl. The book was supposed to be placed on the fire girl's stomach, but the fire girl was lying on the ground with her hands overlapping the book, just because of the accident just now. The movement made Huofangnv turn over, and the book was pressed under her body.

This book is not a religious book related to the royal city, but a magic note, a magic note written in a language that Leo cannot understand. It is only because of the special power of the place where everything ends that Leo I can barely read some words and patterns on the cover and some pages that do not involve mysterious power, and I can barely figure out that the author of the book is a magician from the Dragon Academy.

Seeing this magic note, Leo immediately thought of the old man reading who had been sitting by the bonfire, because he remembered that the old man had always had a leather pouch around his waist, and the pouch was bulging, and he should have put something in it. From the appearance point of view, it is about the same size as the magic notebook in his hand now.

"Why? Why did he bury the fire girl? Why did he put the most important magic note on the fire girl?" While making guesses, Leo soon had new questions in his mind.

Logically speaking, after Seredore and others were affected by the unknown power in the statue and attacked the fire girl, they should not handle her body so carefully, unless they recovered after they killed the fire girl. Sober, out of the control of the unknown power in the idol.

Moreover, judging from various signs, they did not rely on their own strength to get out of control, and it was more likely that the Huofang girl did what she did before she died. After the recovered people realized what they did, what would happen? Feeling. You can imagine.

After Leo made what he thought was the most reasonable guess based on the clues he could find so far, he turned his attention to the magic book in his hand, and quickly flipped through a few pages, wanting to see if he could pass everything to end. The special power of the land deciphers the magic book.

But after flipping two pages and saw a magic circle diagram, he suddenly froze for a moment, as if he had discovered something, with a serious expression on his face, and then saw him move the book from the storage space The crystal magic book stored in the space was taken out, and the cover of the crystal magic book and the magic array diagram were compared together.

I saw that there is also a very fine magic array map on the surface of the crystal magic book. Because of the crystallization on the surface, it is impossible to see clearly if you don’t look carefully. The only interesting thing is that this magic array map is actually the same as the magic array on the magic notebook in Leo’s hand. The pictures are almost exactly the same, and what's even more incredible is that the handwriting of the special characters on the magic circle is exactly the same. According to the analysis of Leo's graphology, it can basically be judged that they were written by the same person.

"Is he the crystallized old man in the big library?" Leo, who had discovered something, couldn't help but had a bold idea.

Although this idea feels a bit absurd, it is not impossible, because the time and space of this place where everything ends are completely chaotic. The present may be the future or the past, and everything that happens here cannot be explained by common sense. .

This magic note is a windfall for Leo, and it is also very important to him, because he may be able to find out a way to use the crystal old man's magic book by interpreting this magic note.

Thinking of this, Leo unceremoniously received the magic notebook as a funeral object together with the crystal magic book into the storage space, and then checked it carefully to see if there were any omissions.

After finding nothing missing, Leo got up and moved some stones from the rubble nearby, stacked them neatly on and around the body of the fire girl, made a simple tomb, and then got up to leave, continue Head towards the hidden path leading to the upper ancient city.

Along the way, while thinking about the final whereabouts of Seredore and the others, Leo kept trying the effect of the pus in his hand, and the final result was very good. As long as Leo didn't take the initiative to provoke, those living corpses and Monsters with signs of being possessed by human pus will not actively attack Leo.

It didn't take long for Leo to return to the temple area. This time, he didn't think much about it. After preparing any psionic skills, witchcraft, and the power of the gods' seal that could deal with emergencies, he went to the temple area. He walked into the main street of the temple area and entered the patrolling area of ​​the monsters transformed by the priests.

Just like in other places, after Leo entered the patrol area of ​​monsters, those monsters were also aware of it, but the human pus on Leo's body had a very good camouflage effect, and those monsters did not attack Leo, just according to I patrolled back and forth on my established route.

Leo moved quickly in the temple area and did not waste time searching the surrounding temples. Although he probably had a lot of good things in the surrounding temples, he was not in the mood right now. Leaving here as soon as possible was the only thing he could do. He wanted to know if the world where Joey and others lived was on the same planet as the world of Velen.

However, at least now Leo is sure that this place where everything ends, or the royal city, is far away from Joey's world, far beyond the scope of a small galaxy, because he can't feel the life mark on Joey's body at all.

The location of the hidden path is very eye-catching. It is in the largest temple in the temple area. There is only one statue stored here, that is the God King Gwen, who is called the incarnation of the sun, but just like other statues in the temple, the statue of God King Gwen It was also destroyed, only the lower body sitting on the throne remained relatively intact, and the upper body was completely smashed to pieces.

However, it is not difficult to see from the remaining fragments that Gwen's statue is so big that it is just sitting, and the top of the head can already touch the ceiling more than 30 meters high.

It's just that it's weird that Gwen doesn't seem to be human, because the lower body remaining on the throne is not human feet, but a flame.

According to the records in that book, the production of god statues in Wangcheng is very strict. Only high-ranking priests are qualified to make god statues, and the appearance of the god statues has extremely strict requirements. Any individual play is tolerated, so except that the size of the statue can be slightly modified, the shape of each statue is the shape of its corresponding god.

The other gods have such strict regulations, so the statue of the king of gods naturally cannot be sloppy, so the flames on the lower body of the god statue also represent that the god king Gwen does have a lower body formed of flames.

And this also made Leo feel even more puzzled, because according to this calculation, how could this god king with a flaming lower body have children with a human body?

This is completely inconsistent with some near-theoretical content recorded in the science of life reproduction in the universe in Leo's memory.

Leo couldn't help speculating: "Could it be that the children of the god king are not in the place of the god king, so when the eldest son makes a mistake, he will punish him so severely, and even deprive the eldest son of everything."

However, just after Leo made a malicious guess, there were a few very sudden abnormal noises around him, which startled Leo and made him involuntarily put his realization and attention on the place where the sound came out.

I saw two figures walking out from behind the statue of the god-king Gwen. It was almost unnecessary to think about it. From the clothes of the two figures, it could be seen that the two of them were the two knights who guarded the nuns of the White Cult.

However, their condition is not very good now, the armor on their bodies is seriously damaged, both of them have many scars, one of them has even broken an arm, and the worst thing is that they have completely turned into living corpses , that is to say, they are no different from those living corpses outside, only slightly stronger.

Seeing that the two knights had turned into living corpses, Leo couldn't help wondering what happened to them, and he didn't take any precautionary measures, because it was not difficult to see from the experiment just now that living corpses would not be harmful to those who possessed them. He made any attack under the disguise of human pus, so now he also thinks that these two zombie knights will not attack him.

However, he soon realized that his judgment was wrong.

I saw that when the two zombie knights moved Leo less than ten meters away, the two corpse knights suddenly activated and rushed to Leo at an extremely fast speed. The knight swords in their hands cooperated with each other to block Leo occupied all the movable positions, and rushed towards his vitals, as if he regarded Leo as their most hated target.
