The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"As long as you can get five thousand gold sa, the thing is yours." Not long after meeting Gusang, stewards and tribal elders from other tribes in the caravan also came to contact Leo one after another, but after hearing this After asking the price, they all retreated one after another. It is not known whether they are thinking about raising money in their hearts, or whether they have other ideas.

The caravan will stay in this market until tomorrow morning. During this time, the caravan will also do some transactions with the small tribes in the market, and the young people in the caravan will also communicate with the young people in the tribe. From time to time, young people from these tribes are temporarily hired as caravan guards. This is very attractive to young people who want to leave the tribe and go outside.

Leo, who is also a foreigner, can also arouse the strong curiosity of the people in the market.

Although the tribes on this small prairie are only separated from the western city-state by a small Gus Desert, and from the Dry Steel City of the Maris Kingdom by a snowy mountain, the tribes here have very little contact with the outside world. Yu is isolated from the world.

This can be seen from the fact that none of these tribes are believers in the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things, and they still maintain the most primitive tribal customs. It can be imagined how little contact this tribe has with the outside world.

It is precisely this isolated living condition that most of their knowledge of the outside world comes from the caravans traveling to and from the ancient salt railway. From these caravans, they know some things about the outside world and things about other countries. etc.

It's just that these things are just a vague concept in their minds. The battle between the Maris Kingdom and the Savile Kingdom may be just a conflict between two big tribes in their minds. As for foreigners, they are mostly just other tribes in their minds. people.

So when Leo left the pack cart and went to the market to see what useful things he could buy, his appearance, which was completely different from that of the Saviles, immediately attracted the attention of the young people in the tribe here. Ou felt like a monster being watched, which made him lose interest in continuing to stroll in the market.

"Go away, go away! You guys, staring at our customers like this is not the custom of the market." Just as Leo was about to return to the cart, a middle-aged reprimand sounded from the crowd , the young people around seemed to be afraid of the owner of the voice, and after hearing the voice, they all dispersed and stopped watching Leo.

Immediately afterwards, a muscular middle-aged man came out of the crowd. The appearance of this middle-aged man was not very outstanding, but his hair was covered with a knotted headdress made of colorful velvet. The knot came from the top. There are thirteen knots in total, and each knot is tied with a feather.

Leo knew from the owner of the pack cart that the people who had this kind of headdress were warriors of the local tribe, and the more knots on the headdress, the more brave the person was, and each feather represented that the warrior had completed one time. A daunting task that no one else can do.

A warrior like this is definitely the most powerful figure in the local tribe, even surpassing the leader or elder of the tribe.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Leo was stunned for a moment, because he felt a weak energy fluctuation in this middle-aged man, and this weak energy fluctuation did not mean that the middle-aged man was weak, but because the middle-aged man was weak. Young people are already very proficient in controlling their own energy, and can even minimize energy volatilization to the outside world.

One must know that Leo's ability to restrain psychic energy is mainly because psychic energy is very special, and he has a very mature system of using psychic energy.

But people with extraordinary power in the world of Velen are different. Although the power they master is powerful, it is chaotic, disordered and uncontrollable, whether it is the divine power of the clergy, the magic power of the witch, or the night watchman. , Familiars, and the power derived from the bloodline, etc., are uncontrollable. Even if they have mastered the power to an extremely proficient level, it is difficult for them to adjust their own power with precision.

Therefore, they will always emit energy fluctuations corresponding to their own strength, and these energy fluctuations will often intentionally or unintentionally affect the emotions of people around them, causing them to develop emotions such as intimacy, friendship, disgust, fear, etc.

But the middle-aged man in front of him is different. He has already controlled his own power to a very high level, and he can also control the precision of his own power. He can restrain his own energy like Leo restrains his spiritual energy. This abnormal situation is almost It made Leo think that he had met another psyker.

But soon Leo confirmed that the middle-aged man in front of him was not a psychic, but probably someone like a shaman, because he could feel the energy fluctuations of this middle-aged man and the surrounding land all the time. Performing a harmonious resonance, which is very close to the nature shaman he knows.

The shaman system in Mozambique is a very complicated system. It was so complicated that the tower wizards at that time could not fully understand the various systems of shaman. However, although they did not understand it, the tower wizard will still be related to shaman. The information was recorded, and Leo also read these materials.

Natural shaman is a very small branch of the shaman system, but this branch has the name of the source of shaman. Almost 90% of the shaman system is derived from the natural shaman, but ironically as a shaman Manzhiyuan's natural shaman is not prosperous, and has always been on the edge of the shaman system, and may be lost at any time.

For those who practice shamanism, there are two biggest problems in practicing nature shamanism. The first problem is that they cannot use any external force to feel and integrate into nature. Shamanic people.

While people who practice other shaman ways can quickly obtain powerful shaman power through other tricky methods, natural shamans can only rely on themselves to experience the invisible and intangible nature, and in the end It will definitely succeed. In this comparison, anyone with a little head and reason will know how to choose.

As for the second problem, the natural shaman must find a piece of land as his spiritual destination, and the quality of this land also determines the final strength of the natural shaman.

Therefore, the natural shaman is more like a farmer. He must carefully manage his own spiritual land. Changes in the power of the mind will also cause changes in his own power. The changes in the spiritual land are in line with his natural way. Then his strength will become stronger. If he violates it, then his strength will become weaker, and he will even be affected by the reverse effect of the natural place and become weak and sick.

After seeing the introduction about the natural shaman, Leo also thinks that the marginalization of this shaman's inheritance is also reasonable. The process of gaining power is difficult, and the weakness is extremely obvious, and it will be restricted by the region. For example, the natural Saran leaves the heart The place of destination, then his strength will become very weak.

But the reaction of the energy fluctuations of the middle-aged man who appeared in front of Leo is very similar to the description of the natural shaman. It would be fine if this man was a tribe from the Mozambique continent, but this man in front of him is a shaman Vail people.

"Marris people, Daliat people, Fran people, English people..." The middle-aged man walked up to Leo and asked in various languages.

"Who are you?" Leo said to the middle-aged man in English.

"It turns out to be an Englishman." The middle-aged man said in extremely proficient English: "I am the captain of the rangers here. My name is Pygas, but I prefer to be called the long song of the earth."

"Song of the Earth? The name of the Mosang Wasteland." Leo said after hearing what the middle-aged man said.

Bigas smiled heartily and said, "Yes! It's Mosang's name, the name my teacher gave me."

"Are you a nature shaman?" Leo asked again.

"You actually know the nature shaman," Bigas was stunned for a moment, and then he said in relief: "But it's true, you should also be from the dark world, and you should indeed know the nature shaman."

Hearing what Picas said, Leo wanted to refute him, telling him that the natural shaman was not well-known in the dark world, and even among the shamans in the Mosang Wasteland, not many people knew about the natural shaman.

However, after seeing Picas's proud expression that I am a natural shaman, Leo also gave up his rebuttal and asked instead: "How do you know that I am from the dark world?"

Bigas quickly replied: "The teacher said that as long as you have extraordinary power, you must be a person in the dark world. If you have extraordinary power, you are a person in the dark world."

Leo was startled when he heard the words, he was a little surprised, because he withdrew all the spiritual energy in his body, logically speaking, no matter how sensitive people are, it is impossible to feel the power in him.

"Can you feel my strength?" So Leo asked confirmingly.

"No." Bigas quickly shook his head, and then said: "However, after you entered the grassland, I felt that there was a piece of my heart missing, as if there was a huge shadow covering the grassland. Similarly, I thought some kind of natural disaster would happen. After all, the storms that happened before made me feel this way, but it turned out that it was the caravan from the east that caused this situation, so I just looked for it in the caravan. The reason, until I saw you."

Leo thought that Bigas thought he would do something to this grassland, so he explained, "I never thought of destroying this grassland."

Bigas nodded and said: "I know, when the storm appears, I can feel a violent will to destroy everything, but I can only feel calm in you."

"Then what do you want from me?" Leo asked.

"I originally wanted to compete with you." Bigas explained: "Since I came back, I have never left my hometown, and I don't know to what extent my strength has reached. Is it what the teacher said? .” As he spoke, he paused, smiled awkwardly, and said, “However, I don’t think it’s necessary now. Although I don’t know how powerful you are, I can be sure that if I fight you If you don’t, you definitely won’t win.”

"This result is also within my estimation." Leo nodded and said with great confidence.

"Although I know I can't beat you, I still need to say something." Bigas's expression became extremely serious in an instant, and he said to Leo: "I know that you people in the dark world have always liked to think of yourself as far beyond ordinary Human beings are of a higher level, and they don't care about ordinary people when they do things, and they like to use ordinary people to do some weird experiments, so I don't want to hear what weird things happened to the tribe in the market during your stay .”

Hearing Bigas's warning, Leo couldn't help feeling like laughing. He said to Bigas: "Mr. Bigas, do you have some misunderstandings about the people in the dark world? The people you mentioned are just It’s just a very small category, most people don’t think that way, and you are one of the people in the dark world, don’t you think you are a higher existence?”

"Huh?" Bigas was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he didn't say anything to Leo, and quickly ran away with his head down.

Leo smiled, looked at the figure of Picas mixed into the crowd, and looked at the surrounding market, with a clear expression on his face.

In fact, after coming to this grassland, Leo felt a little weird, not that the grassland itself was weird, but that it was so peaceful and leisurely here.

You must know that next to this small grassland is the Little Gus Desert where sand pirates often haunt, and beyond that is the western city-state, which is a place that is prone to disputes, but this small grassland is sandwiched between the Little Gus Desert and the Quincy Snow Mountain. , but completely maintain a detached state, I have to say that anyone who reads it will feel very weird.

However, after seeing Picas now, Leo understood why the small grassland had such a leisurely environment.

This grassland is equivalent to Picas himself. If he can feel Leo's existence after Leo enters the grassland, then other people such as Sand Pirates and other malicious people enter the grassland, and Picas will definitely be able to feel.

With such a precise positioning radar, it is basically considered to have taken the lead in the battle. Coupled with the power of Bigas himself, unless he encounters a whole well-equipped army like the Faran Empire, Otherwise, it would be difficult for the general army to pose a substantial threat to the tribes on this grassland.

However, in Leo's view, such a peaceful scene cannot last for too long. With the return of the gods, the power of the Lord Church of the Birth and Death will become more and more powerful. , will never allow a region to escape their control, so sending people to the small grassland to build churches has become an inevitable trend.

At that time, Bigas will definitely conflict with the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things, because this small grassland is the place of his heart, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let this small grassland be managed by others, so the two There are irreconcilable contradictions.

With the power of Pygas' natural shaman, he might be able to gain an advantage in one or two conflicts, but once the Lord of All Things Birth and Death Church exerts his strength, then Pygas has absolutely no chance of victory, and the final result is predictable. And know.
