The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Who is the person who arranged this portal magic circle?" Leo asked very directly.

Although the tone of Leo's questioning was a bit rude, Esrith was not displeased, and instead had a look of joy on his face, because Leo knew at a glance that this was the magic circle of the portal, so it also represented There is a high possibility that Leo can repair this magic circle.

So, she replied truthfully: "This is because the goddess made a mysterious spellcaster unworthy at the beginning of the temple's construction. The name of that spellcaster has not been handed down. I only know that he once claimed to be from a place called the High Tower." place."

Hearing what Aisris said, Leo was stunned, but he didn't show too much surprise, because the moment he saw the root of Turing contained in the magic circle, Leo could already confirm that the portal The magic circle definitely has wizards from the world of Velen involved.

"Can it be repaired?" Aisris asked in a deep voice.

If it was a different person, they might be helpless when they saw this magic circle, but this was not a problem for Leo.

Leo carefully looked at the damaged part of the magic circle, and saw three cracks appearing from the wall, dividing the complete portal magic circle into three parts. The damage can be said to be very serious, and it is difficult to repair it.

Leo asked curiously: "Can you tell me how the portal magic circle was destroyed?"

"Originally, we followed the goddess' oracle to activate the magic circle before the disaster happened, and teleported the entire temple to the promised land of the goddess. However, when the magic circle was activated, a force suddenly appeared and destroyed the magic circle. It also affected the portal built by the magic circle, and finally fixed the temple in this strange place." Aisris sighed, and said: "If the goddess hadn't predicted that we would have this catastrophe in advance, the sinking The Coffin of Sleep is handed over to us, perhaps we have all been driven crazy by the environment here."

While talking, Esrith signaled Leo to go with her, and the two walked all the way to the side hall of the temple. Although the outside of the side hall is a very common brick building, the inside is a sci-fi huge spaceship cabin.

The moment the two walked in, all the lights in the cabin were turned on, fully showing the situation inside to Leo.

I saw that the sleeping cabins that Leo saw before were densely packed throughout the entire spaceship cabin, not only the sleeping cabins were on the ground, but also neatly hung on the walls and ceilings. More than three thousand.

"The Berkeley Troop Carrier of the Seventh Colonial Fleet!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Leo's eyes fell on the Earth Federation logo not far away, and he quickly recognized the above content, and it also appeared in his mind. A lot of relevant information has been released.

The Berkeley troop carrier is not an unknown person in the universe history of the Earth Federation. In fact, it has a very good reputation. Many people even think that the incident of the Berkeley troop carrier should be the beginning of the first year of the Earth Federation universe, not It is the beginning of a new era when the Earth Federation joins the Les Covenant.

The reason for thinking this way is that the disappearance of the Berkeley troop carrier was the first time that the Earth Federation discovered the existence of subspace, and it is precisely because of this that the Earth Federation was considered by the Supreme Council of the Universe as a cosmic civilization.

The specific content of the event is that a war with aliens took place in the thirteenth colony of the Earth Federation, and the thirteenth colony is a new colonial planet with a very small population and a small army, so it is impossible to fight aliens at all. When the star fleet resisted, they asked for help from the surrounding colonial planets. At that time, the two closest colonial planets to the Thirteenth Colony dispatched reinforcements to the Thirteenth Colony respectively, and the Berkeley troop carrier was one of them.

However, it is strange that until the end of the war, the Berkeley was not seen on the battlefield of the thirteenth colonial planet.

Afterwards, the Earth Federation sent an investigation team to investigate the disappearance of the Berkeley troop carrier. After finding the flight path of the Berkeley troop carrier, they found that the Berkeley had entered a An unknown space, and left a gap in space where it disappeared.

After the people of the Earth Federation conducted research here, they determined that the opposite of this rift is the subspace that is often mentioned by advanced cosmic civilizations, and the Earth Federation also quickly developed the technology to enter the subspace because of this rift, and then became one of the highest in the universe. Among the cosmic civilizations recognized by the parliament.

Now, this troop carrier that started the subspace research of the Earth Federation appeared here. Even if it was just a dormant compartment component of the troop carrier, it was enough to make Leo have some associations.

Aisris pointed to the sleeping cabin around her, and said: "The goddess used her divine power to create a world in the sleeping coffin, so that our sleeping fellows can sleep here, but our souls can live in that world." , don’t have to suffer from the loneliness of the real world outside.”

Leo asked again: "In this case, what happened to you and those elves just now?"

Aisris explained: "We can't stay here forever and need to find a way to leave, so we selected some people who did not enter the world created by the goddess to sleep forever, but separated, and woke up every time they slept , looking for a way to get out of here." As she spoke, she led Leo out of the side hall, walked back, and said as she walked, "We found a way to project part of our spirit into that area more than ten years ago. On the ruins, there has been no progress in finding a way to leave here, until yesterday I obtained the oracle of the goddess in the coffin of sleep, knowing that someone who can repair the magic circle of the portal will appear, That's why I temporarily summoned everyone to put their spirits into the ruins, and then I saw you."

"Goddess Melitelli?" Leo recalled the information about the Trinity Goddess.

Although there are gods in this world, compared to the gods in the world of Velen, the gods in this world are obviously unwilling to appear in front of people, and will only issue some oracles through the mouth of the highest level of the church, which makes the religion of this world change. It is very complicated, and ordinary people can't understand which religions really have gods, and which religions have gods who are just fabricated false gods.

But no matter how the world's religions change, the belief of the goddess Meritelli can always be passed down. At first, she was only the belief of the elves, but as it gradually spread, even many humans believed in the goddess Meritelli, and the goddess Meritelli It is recognized as a real goddess.

Such a goddess issued an oracle to her believers, predicting in advance that Leo would go to the ruins, and asked the believers to ask Leo for help, which means that this goddess may also be paying attention to her secretly, and even knows He understands the root of Turing, otherwise it would be impossible to give believers such a certain oracle.

Perhaps because he was used to being watched by the gods, Leo was not surprised or puzzled by the attention of the goddess Melitelli, and looked very calm. After returning to the room where the magic circle of the portal was located, Leo carefully looked at the damaged place, said: "I need some materials."

Aceris replied immediately: "There are still some magic metals stored in the warehouse of the temple."

Leo sat on the ground very casually, and said: "Then you teach me that ancient elf language now! Let's end this as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Esrith also showed a smile on her face, and immediately sat opposite Leo, began to draw patterns representing the ancient elf language with her fingers on the ground, and explained each word very carefully meaning.

Leo also listened very carefully, even if he encountered something he didn't understand, he didn't interrupt. He didn't ask some questions until the explanation of the vocabulary was over.

In this way, one taught each other, and soon after more than two hours, Leo had completely learned this very complicated ancient elf language, which surprised Estheris, even a little unbelievable, and tried A few questions were asked for Leo to answer, and Leo quickly gave the answer, and the answer he gave was more perfect than the answer Aceris himself thought of.

In fact, in Leo's view, this is only a matter of course, because he has mastered a large number of ancient Elvish characters and how to write them through other channels in advance, and all he needs to do now is to know the basic meaning and the combination of words and sentences The law has almost completely mastered this esoteric language.

After mastering this language, Leo discovered that some aspects of this ancient Elvish language are very similar to Gamore language. Both languages ​​and characters contain mysterious power. When they are combined according to a certain law After that, it can produce very powerful supernatural power.

The tower wizard who came to this world at the beginning obviously took a fancy to this, so he learned this language, and combined it with the Turing root of Gamore language, and arranged it into this magic circle.

After mastering the ancient elven language, Leo turned his attention to the broken magic circle on the ground. He was not only looking for a way to repair the magic circle of the portal, but also decomposed the magic circle to find out A way to combine two cryptic languages.

Although Leo has only initially mastered the ancient Elvish language, his mastery of Turing radicals is no longer inferior to that of the tower wizard. Soon he used the Turing radicals on the magic circle as a breakthrough point, and soon Decompose the entire magic circle in consciousness, and at the same time migrate to the distribution law of Turing radicals, analyze the function of each part of the magic circle, and further find out the layout rules and damaged places of those ancient elf languages What are the ancient Elvish scripts.

About half an hour later, a repaired portal magic circle was reassembled in Leo's mind. After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem, Leo drew it with spiritual energy.

At the beginning, Aisris didn't believe that the portal magic circle that had trapped them here for hundreds of years was so easily repaired by Leo, but when she watched Leo draw the complete portal magic circle, and After explaining the repair method and driving principle of the magic circle, she was stunned.

The reason for this is not only because she couldn't understand what Leo said, but also because she felt that Leo really repaired the magic circle of the portal as he said.

For so many years, she has been looking forward to the complete repair of the magic circle of the portal, and they can leave this dead place, but now Leo found a way to repair the magic circle of the portal in just a few hours, which makes She felt a little unreal, and even the excitement that should have appeared did not appear.

Leo didn't care about the other party's current mood. He didn't intend to repair the portal magic circle by himself, but directed Aceris to repair the damaged parts of the portal magic circle bit by bit according to his instructions. Aisris didn't think too much, and honestly followed Leo's instructions to take out the required materials, and then carefully remade the materials into the required form, and repaired the damage on the magic circle of the portal bit by bit. .

Compared with Leo's repairing in his head, the actual repair process is obviously much more difficult, and it also requires some problems that he has not encountered before, so Leo had to change the repair plan. Fortunately, the repair process It went smoothly, even if there were some mistakes in the middle, it didn't affect the overall situation.

I don't know how long it took, but Aisris poured the last bit of melted magic metal on a breakpoint of the magic circle. As the magic metal cooled, the entire portal magic circle was completely repaired.

"Has it been repaired?" Looking at the intact portal magic circle in front of her, Aisris looked at Leo in disbelief, and asked in confirmation.

"Yes, it has been repaired!" Leo nodded.

"It's a bit unreal." Esrith sat in front of the magic circle of the portal, her eyes full of bewilderment.

Leo looked at Esrith, wondering if the other party was implying that she should punch her to make sure she was not dreaming now.

Just when Leo was thinking about whether to punch, Aisris seemed to have recovered, stood up, smiled at Leo, and said: "Your Excellency, I have been working hard for so many years. I have always been looking for a way to repair the magic circle of the portal, now that the magic circle of the portal has disappeared, I feel a little empty in my heart."

Leo didn't intend to stand here and listen to Asris's talk about her feelings, and said bluntly: "Let's try it first! Only after we try it will we know whether it has been repaired or not."

Aisris nodded when she heard the words, and then asked Leo to stand aside, and then she started to activate the magic circle of the portal according to the method taught to her by the goddess Melitelli.

I saw rays of light shining from the magic circle, spreading to the whole room in an instant. Leo felt that his eyes went blank, and he fell into a temporary blindness that had never been seen before, and soon his vision recovered, but In front of him is no longer in the temple on the subspace fragments, but back in the underground ruins of the elf kingdom.
