The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After nightfall, the checkpoints set up in the Niuski Mountains in the Novosibirsk region are much more lively than during the day. People who enter the forest hunting monsters and beasts in the daytime also return to the checkpoints. Most of them are more or less Few were injured, and some people missed their hands and stayed in the forest forever.

Although the surrounding monsters will be cleared regularly in the New Bodo area to reduce the risk of monster attacks in the entire area, after each cleanup, there will still be some monsters that will continue to hide in the cleaned area, unless the monster's active area is in the new Bodo area. The core area of ​​the area, otherwise, these monsters that have not been completely eliminated will be handed over to hunters and mercenaries to deal with.

These monsters can evade the cleanup operations of the New Bodo area army, and some can even flee after fighting with the military and the special department of the New Bodo area. They all prove their own strength and are different from other monsters. They are more intelligent. , Even some monsters mutated from transcendents are hidden in it. For example, the monster entrenched in the forest around this checkpoint is likely to be a mutated monster of transcendents or family members.

For ordinary people, monsters are just monsters. No matter what the monsters were before, they are just one thing now, that is, monsters.

But for hunters, mercenaries, and those official departments set up specifically to eliminate monsters, the monsters that appeared after the foggy year are actually divided into many types. Most people are used to divide them according to ethnic groups, such as beasts, extraordinary creatures and These three types of monsters transformed by human beings.

More than ninety-nine percent of the monsters in these three categories are beast monsters. Because the reproductive power of beasts has doubled after the fog disaster, the group of beasts has exploded, and the mutant monsters have also increased rapidly. , Even if the human civilization and society do their utmost to hunt down these beasts and monsters, and even kill the herd that has not mutated from the root, it still cannot stop the growth of beasts and monsters.

If someone can make a complete distribution map of monsters, then they will find that whether it is the continent of Velen, Mossan, or even Minsk, the cities and towns of those civilized countries have all been surrounded by groups of beasts and monsters. It is no exaggeration that the world after the year is a world of beasts and monsters.

If it weren't for these beasts and monsters to prefer to instinctively swallow other beasts and monsters to enhance their own power, perhaps now the entire civilized world, except for a few core city states, may have been swallowed by an endless wave of beasts and monsters.

Although the number of beast monsters is so large and terrifying, for the human society, there is no need to worry about these beast monsters for the time being, and it only needs to deal with the monster wave that occurs every time.

What really poses a huge threat to human civilization and society is the monsters mutated from transcendent creatures and humans. Most of these monsters still retain the wisdom before the mutation, and even become smarter. They do not behave like those beasts and monsters. The animal nature of the past, the way of attack is also traceable, their behavior and thoughts are disordered, chaotic, their attack methods are not fixed, and they even know how to avoid danger.

These monsters don’t like to swallow other monsters. They are more willing to swallow humans. It seems that they can extract something useful to them from the human body. So even if these monsters occupy less than one percent of the monsters in the entire world, they The threat to human society is far greater than those beasts and monsters.

Among these two types of monsters, there are fewer monsters mutated from extraordinary creatures. Most of them like to stay in fixed habitats and active areas. As long as they don’t enter that area, or their active area does not move, ordinary people will No danger.

But the monsters mutated from humans are not. Some of them even pretend to be normal humans and sneak into human society, hunting ordinary humans around them silently.

The camouflage capabilities of these monsters are very powerful. Before they start to attack the surrounding humans, they are almost in no danger of exposure. Among these human mutant monsters, the mutant family members are the most difficult to expose.

Because these mutant families can not only transform perfectly in the form of monsters and humans, they can even pretend to be clergy through their own power, and they also retain most of human wisdom, memory and even behavior. Some monsters are still humans. Social marriage, family formation, etc.

For example, the primary hunting task on the bulletin board in this deep mountain is to hunt down a monster that hides in human society and pretends to be a clergyman. This monster has a strong lurking ability and can avoid special departments of the Bodo government after being discovered. All the way to chase and kill, escape into the deep mountains to hide, undoubtedly show that this monster is powerful.

The reward for this monster has increased several times in recent months, making it one of the highest rewarded monsters in the New Bodo area, and the content of the reward has changed from hunting to catching it alive, and even the latest content. Changed to only need to provide the correct location of the monster to get this bounty.

Also attracted by the huge bounty, a large number of hunters and mercenaries came to this checkpoint in the deep mountains, looking for the whereabouts of the monster in the deep mountains every day.

However, these hunters and mercenaries have searched for many days, but have not been able to find any traces of the existence of this monster, so some people doubt whether this monster is in this deep mountain forest area.

Facing the doubts of hunters and mercenaries, the Xinboduo area gave a very positive answer, saying that the monster was still in that area, but it did not explain why the monster did not escape to other areas.

If only the new Bodo government issued such a news, it would not convince the hunters and mercenaries, but afterwards the Church of the Lord of the Sky also sent their holy warriors, senior priests and church guards to the checkpoints, entering every day Searching for the whereabouts of the monster in the forest, they completely believe that the monster is still hiding in this area.

The reason why the Church of the Lord of the Sky is so concerned about this monster, and even agreed to some requirements of the Dodd Group, it also has to send people into the mountains to hunt this monster, it is completely because the identity of the monster is disguised as a senior priest of the Church of the Lord of the Sky , And it's not just an ordinary missionary priest, it's the kind of priest who can perform the magic arts of the Lord of the Sky Church.

If it did not happen to be caught in a trap set by a special department when it preyed on humans, it might still be perfectly disguised as a priest and was admired by everyone.

A priest capable of performing gods and magical arts turned out to be a mutated monster of cannibalism. This incident is a very heavy blow to the reputation of the entire Church of the Lord of the Sky. Although this will not shake the foundation of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, but The subsequent impact is very far-reaching. If this matter is not resolved in time, sooner or later there will be a crack in the tower of the Lord of the Sky.

This is because this incident has caused the people to have extreme distrust of the Sky Children’s Order, one of the core forces of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and many people even think that all the families of the Lord of the Sky are cannibals. Monster.

Before the foggy year, almost all the family members were indistinguishable from monsters in the eyes of ordinary people and even some secret forces. However, with the gradual return of the gods and the rapid mutation after the foggy year, people began to Learn more about the special group of dependents and be able to distinguish it from monsters.

Compared with those without owners who are still regarded as monsters, the families who believe in gods still exist are in a completely different position. Most of them are regarded as sons of God by ordinary people, and the church recognizes their status, even They were given the right to match their identities, and even the right subjects of some churches were transferred to these children of God, such as the Church of Poseidon, the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and so on.

This is not because the top leaders of these churches are willing to let go of their power and give it to others, but with the return of the gods, the power of these gods’ families is rapidly increasing every day, and they can even get incomparable directly from the gods. A clear oracle, no matter how strong the church leaders are, their strength will all become invisible when facing pressure from the gods.

Although this incident of disguising priests can hit the prestige of the children of God in the church, and those senior clergy in the Church of the Lord of the Sky who have divided rights will feel very happy, but the premise is that this kind of attack can not affect the entire Church of the Lord of the Sky. No matter how they fight for power, they still know their foundation very well.

Therefore, the Church of the Lord of the Sky is also extremely unified in this incident of monsters disguising as priests, and all denominations in the church have tried their best to cooperate. The candidates to form the team are two sons of God, two senior priests, and four saints who have been baptized by gods Warriors, and eighteen temple guards, such a powerful lineup is very rare. Some people joked that if such a lineup cooperates with the followers of the Lord of the Sky, it can even start a large-scale religious war.

Everyone originally thought that with such a strong lineup, the monster would be killed soon, but the result completely exceeded everyone's expectations. The elite of the Sky Lord Church has been in the mountain for dozens of days. , But never completed the task, and even lost three temple guards.

Although the people in the church did not say how they lost the three church guards, but from what they said and deed, it is not difficult to guess that they should have encountered their own goals. Not only did they fail to kill them, but how many A temple guard died in the hands of the target.

Although the soldiers at the checkpoints are not allowed to drink, there is a tavern specially prepared for hunters and mercenaries inside the checkpoint. At night, hunters and mercenaries returning to the camp will gather in the tavern to exchange information obtained during the day. Or replenish the lost manpower and form a new team. There are also some people who will do the daytime gains with the long-term merchant doctrines and so on.

Most of the hunters and mercenaries here are ordinary people who have received combat training. If people like them encountered monsters in the past, there would only be a dead end, but with the weapons developed by the Dodd Group against various monsters Equipment makes these ordinary people have a fight after encountering monsters.

Normally, these hunters and mercenaries dare not do anything rude to the people of the church, but as the hunting team sent by the church suffered a big loss, every time they return to the camp, they are very embarrassed, which makes these life and death long ago. The hunters and mercenaries who stayed aside also gradually lost their respect for the church. Under the influence of alcohol, they even dared to ridicule some of the unbearable things of the church.

After the Fire Dancer caravan set up a camp, Leo followed some merchants from the caravan to the tavern at the checkpoint. The merchants of the caravan didn’t come here to drink, they mainly wanted to see if there was any. There is an opportunity to buy a batch of hunting from the hunters and mercenaries here. As for Leo, he wants to collect useful information from the conversations between these hunters and mercenaries.

Not long after entering the tavern, the merchants of the caravan have already completed several transactions, which can be said to be quite rewarding. As for Leo, he also collected a lot of information, such as the composition and classification of monsters, such as a team of sky The reason why the elite of the main church is here and so on.

Although these data can be said to be public low-level data, for Leo, the data he needs most now are these low-level data. What he lacks the most is also these low-level data, because as the world changes, human society’s His life style has also changed completely. If he analyzes things according to the previous information, I am afraid that there will be a very big fallacy, so he needs to build a data database from the bottom.

In order to collect information completely, Leo will naturally say some guiding words at certain times, so that hunters and mercenaries who drink slightly can say more useful content~www.readwn.com~For example, that can A monster that performs the magic of the Lord of the Sky.

Leo could understand why the reward for monsters would change from hunting to capturing, because he was also curious as to why this monster could perform magic.

However, as spectators with special emotions, the clergy of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, who also came to the tavern to relax, had other thoughts after hearing Leo’s conversations with those hunters and mercenaries. They felt Leo’s guidance The type of words is deliberately aimed at them, trying to humiliate them and mock their incompetence through the drunken words of those hunters and mercenaries.

Originally, this operation had nothing to gain and the loss of manpower had already made these clergy's hearts extremely frustrated and depressed. Coupled with the look of contempt and contempt revealed by hunters and mercenaries during this period of time, they felt even more bad.

However, Leo’s current deliberately guided questioning seems to have hit their most painful and vital part, causing the two most ill-tempered saints among these clergymen to stand up and walk towards Leo. The other clergy also didn't mean to block, it seemed that they wanted to use Leo as a model to teach other disrespectful people.
