The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 599: Lighthouse Ruins

Under the guidance of those weak energy factors, Leo returned to Long Palm Tree Street. Although there were three energy factors he found, they all extended in the same direction. Obviously, these three people should come from Clues were found in the archives and returned to Long Palm Street, looking for the non-existent number 137.

Soon the path guided by the energy factor came to the entrance of the coastal garden at the northwest corner of Long Palm Street.

This garden is a public garden with a large area, occupying a piece of coastline. During the peak tourist season, it is the only public beach among the golden beaches, and the other beaches belong to the corresponding luxury villa owners.

Apart from a part of the public golden beach in this garden, the most noteworthy thing for tourists is the lighthouse on the long sword corner of the garden.

Long Sword Point is a protruding cape on the garden coastline, shaped like a long sword, with a lighthouse built at the top of Long Sword Point. Who built this lighthouse and when it was built are unknown. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this lighthouse existed before the construction of Pender Harbor began, and what is this lighthouse for? The direction of the ship is unknown.

After entering the garden and walking for a while, Leo could already confirm that the final destination was this ancient lighthouse without turning on his spirit vision. At this time, he was also looking for relevant information in his mind.

However, there is really not much information about this lighthouse. Even the most detailed travel guides only point out the age and construction characteristics of this lighthouse.

This lighthouse is built with a very special black steel rock. This black steel rock is extremely hard. It is proud of the stone chair made of black steel rock, even in this era of steam machinery, it is very difficult to cut black steel rock.

However, the lighthouse in Pender Harbor is entirely made of black steel rock, and the shape of each piece has been carefully designed and polished. These black steel rock blocks of different shapes are nested and superimposed on each other , grasp each other to form a whole.

There was once a member of Pender Harbor who proposed to demolish the lighthouse and use the black steel stone of the lighthouse to lay the floor of the council hall of the city council. But it turned out that they couldn't take a piece of black steel rock from the lighthouse unless they smashed the whole lighthouse.

It is precisely because of the special construction techniques and stone materials of this lighthouse that the master architects from all over the world in Vinlen came to Pender Harbor to study the construction techniques of this lighthouse, and in the end they all came to very similar conclusions, that It is impossible to restore this lighthouse with today's technology.

It’s just that this conclusion also makes many people feel puzzled. They wonder who built this lighthouse and how it was built. You must know that when Pender built the port, it was the former royal period of the Maris Kingdom. Most of the citizens of the Reese Kingdom are still semi-primitives living in simple tree houses. It is really puzzling and shocking that there was technology able to build such a perfect building in that period.

At the same time, people can't help but think of those prehistoric kingdom civilizations lying quietly in the sand in the desert of the Savile Kingdom for an unknown number of years.

However, the speculation about prehistoric civilization was quickly refuted by evidence, because the huge steel lamps on the top of the lighthouse have a very obvious style of the pre-kingdom period of the Maris Kingdom, and the main load of the lamps and the tower The columns are perfectly nested and connected, and they were not added by later people, so basically it can be judged that this lighthouse was built in the hundreds of years before the reign period.

After Leo thought of the information about the lighthouse, there was only one term that came to mind, and that was the wizard tower. In his opinion, only the tower wizards were able to build such a lighthouse during the king's reign, and this lighthouse was probably a wizard tower.

With the guess in his heart, Leo came to the lighthouse. Because of the blockade of the sea area by the Kingdom of Maris, there were no ships on the sea, and the lighthouse was temporarily closed, but the broken lock on the door Indicates that someone has entered the lighthouse before.

Before entering the lighthouse, Leo had already carefully checked the inside and outside of the lighthouse with the spirit net. He did not see anything related to wizards on the lighthouse. A special accident, there is no longer any noteworthy place.

But Leo didn't doubt his previous guess because the spirit net didn't find anything, because he is now very sure that the lighthouse in front of him is definitely not an ordinary place even if it is not a tower of wizards, because he can see it through his spiritual vision. It was discovered that the few energy factors that led the way before disappeared after approaching the lighthouse, as if they had been erased by some kind of force.

At this time, Leo also found the broken house number at the gate of the lighthouse, and the number 137 could still be vaguely recognized from it.

"It seems that this is No. 137, but the test doesn't seem to be over yet. I still need to find the correct location for the witch's gathering." Leo looked at the house number and muttered in his heart.

Leo felt that the torn materials in the archives must have hidden important information to find the real witch meeting point, and this information should be in this lighthouse, but now he has no clues and can only find it through his own ability up.

Thinking of this, Leo turned on his spiritual vision ability, observed and recorded all the movements around him, and at the same time pushed open the door of the lighthouse and walked in.

There is no dust in the lighthouse, and it can be seen that it is cleaned every day, which also makes it impossible for him to judge what the people who came in before have done through the traces left on the dust.

However, Leo did not give up looking for traces because of this, but became more serious. Starting from the bottom of the lighthouse, he found the bronze mirror and brazier at the top of the lighthouse.

The only thing in the entire lighthouse that I feel may have something to do with wizards and wonders is the bronze mirror and the brazier, because there are only two items with some patterns that seem to be unclear, but the problem is that Leo can't follow the two items. No trace of any supernatural powers was found on it.

Similarly, he didn't find any useful clues in the lighthouse room below, but in the process of searching for clues, he still found something wrong.

When he was under the lighthouse, Leo judged from the clean floor that someone often came here to clean it, but now through various information he found, he felt that it might not be people who cleaned the lighthouse, but some kind of force.

The reason why I think so is because every place in the lighthouse is too clean, almost spotless, and even some gaps where people can't reach in are clean, which is obviously unreasonable. The only explanation is that in this There is a self-cleaning force in the lighthouse.

Thinking of this, Leo quickly walked down the lighthouse and came to the garden, then directly grabbed a few handfuls of soil from the ground, returned to the lighthouse, and sprinkled the soil in his hands in the rooms on each floor of the lighthouse until the top floor .

After doing these things, Leo was no longer in a hurry to find clues, but found a place to lie down casually, and at the same time, the spiritual net completely covered the lighthouse, locking the dust that was deliberately placed.

Time passed slowly, and the sky quickly darkened. Although the brazier at the top of the lighthouse did not light a bonfire, the flat bronze mirror still reflected strong moonlight, allowing people on the sea in the distance to see clearly.

And when the bronze mirror reflected the moonlight, Leo suddenly felt a burst of energy fluctuations in the lighthouse, and then a whirlwind was generated out of thin air in the tower, and then swam around every place in the tower , suck up all the dust on the ground, and move it out of the lighthouse.

At this moment, Leo also clearly felt that the source of the abnormal energy in the lighthouse turned out to be the broken door of the lighthouse.

However, what really attracted Leo's attention was not the energy fluctuations in the lighthouse and the energy-generating door, but the locator that originated from the tower wizard in his storage space at the same time as the energy fluctuations were also generated. movement.

I saw that the various positioning lines on the locator began to move, but this movement ended soon. The positioning lines did not compare with one point, pointing out the position it wanted to point out.

After getting the locator yesterday, Leo checked the situation repeatedly, but no matter what method he used, he still couldn't cause any movement of the locator.

But now a weak force on the lighthouse directly penetrates the space barrier and affects the locator in the storage space, or the locator penetrates the space barrier and senses the power that can affect it in the world of Velen.

So, Leo took out the locator and put it in his hand, but the effectiveness of that energy seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and the locator could no longer produce any response.

Thinking of this, Leo quickly went down to the bottom of the lighthouse, reached out and pushed the door, ready to leave the lighthouse, and then went to the garden outside the door to grab a few handfuls of soil and sprinkle it inside the lighthouse, causing energy fluctuations in the lighthouse.

However, just when his hand touched the broken door that produced energy, the locator in his hand, which hadn't moved a moment ago, suddenly turned rapidly, and produced an irresistibly strong pulling force, It directly pulled Leo into a subspace plane.

Before Leo realized what happened, he felt a shock wave of energy hitting him, and he instinctively used spiritual energy to continuously arrange several energy shields around his body.

Immediately afterwards, he saw all kinds of lights suddenly shining on the transparent energy shield, and the lights were mixed with lightning-like energy.

Although this energy impact is very powerful, the coverage area is too large. The dispersed energy can only disperse the outermost layer of Leo's spiritual shield, while the subsequent layers of spiritual shields are well preserved. Leo wasn't hurt either.

This surge of spiritual energy came suddenly and went away quickly, but within a few seconds, it passed quickly.

Leo didn't rush to disperse the energy shield on his body, but looked around under the protection of the shield.

What caught Leo's eyes was a subspace plane that was not very large. This plane looked like a meteor floating in the void of the universe as a whole, but this meteor was a bit flat, and there were mountains and lakes. At least it should have been in the past. have.

It's just that this subspace plane is dying, or more correctly speaking, falling into the abyss, because he has already felt a very strong abyss power here, and the abyss snake eyeball in his arm is because of these abyss power And ready to move.

And the power of the subspace plane itself has not disappeared. They seem to be doing their last dying struggle, resisting the erosion of the abyss. The two forces are colliding and colliding in every place of this plane, and the energy wave just now is one of them. The aftermath of a collision.

In such an environment where energy shock waves can be generated at any time, it is naturally impossible for anything to be preserved intact. The mountains and forests have been completely destroyed, and the lake has been evaporated into a desert. The ruins next to the lake can prove to Leo, an outsider, that People used to live here.

Leo didn't intend to go to the ruins to check the situation, because the area around the ruins is the most serious force friction and collision in the entire plane space.

If Leo had a complete psychic skill system, he would be able to withstand such an energy frenzy as a sixth-level psyker.

But the problem is that he has only reached the level of a sixth-level psyker. He doesn't know the high-level psyker skills that have been perfected over hundreds of millions of years in the cosmic civilization.

In terms of combat power, at this moment, his combat power may not even be comparable to the fifth-level psykers in the universe. After all, the fifth-level psykers can already assist the fleet in the universe.

Maybe there are valuable things in the ruins, but it is also possible that those valuable things have been destroyed in these turbulent energy flows that don't know how long they will last. Leo has no intention of risking his life to verify This possibility, so when the second energy shock swept over him, he decided to leave this dangerous place.

He didn't know how to control the locator, so he could only try to inject psionic energy. If the psionic energy didn't work, then he could only try other powers.

However, fortunately, he was lucky. For all the powers in this world, cosmic psionic energy should be the most fundamental extraordinary power. He easily activated the locator in his hand with psionic energy.

With the rapid rotation of the positioning lines on the locator, the pulling force that Leo could not resist appeared again, bringing Leo back to the Velen world from this subspace plane that was going to destruction in an instant.

Because of his previous experience, when the pulling force disappeared, Leo quickly adapted to the physical discomfort, and checked the surrounding situation for the first time, but the result of checking the situation was that he was no longer in the lighthouse. Rather, in a dense forest in one location.
