The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What do you think of the relocation of the castle?" After dinner, Sylvia asked Leo when she returned to the apartment in Hundred Blossoms Courtyard.

Leo thought about it seriously and said, "It's difficult."

Leo didn't say it casually, but after he really thought about it, he came to the answer. With his current ability, he wanted to completely relocate this Belmont Castle to another place, and keep it in its original state. is a very difficult thing.

First of all, the biggest problem is that the location of this castle is too good, it is like it was tailor-made for the Belmont family, and it is almost impossible to find other similar places.

After Leo entered the castle, he had carefully scanned the entire range with the mental network several times, and even built a complete crater landform model in his brain. He found that the Belmont family did not just build the castle on volcanic lava. It's as simple as building other villages and towns elsewhere in the crater.

In fact, both castles and villages and towns are built according to the energy field of the crater, that is to say, the place where the castle is built is a large central energy field, and other villages and towns are also built on different energy fields, and all The energy fields are all linked together by undercurrents of lava underground.

In addition, castles and villages and towns have hidden large rune magic circles, which in turn integrate these energy fields on the ground, forming a special energy field that covers the entire active crater.

The abyss dragon cub also plays a very crucial role in this energy field. It can absorb the turbulent flow of the ground and underground energy fields, so that the entire energy field is always in a stable state.

In this energy field that can output smoothly, the bloodline of the abyss dragon can be nurtured more and more easily stimulated. It is no exaggeration to say that if Sylvia can live here for ten years, even if She does not use any method to temper her bloodline, and the bloodline of the abyss dragon in her body can also be automatically upgraded to a level.

It is precisely because everything here is carefully built for the Belmont family, and even the environment is selected in shock, so I want to copy everything here to other areas, let alone the current Leo, even if It is impossible for Leo to reach the level of a ninth-level psionicist. After all, there are too many factors to consider. A small problem in any link will make the relocation fail.

In addition to the overall factor of Belmont Castle, there is another big problem that Leo is difficult to solve perfectly. This problem is the problem of the abyss dragon cub.

The people of the Belmont family have not noticed that it has been many years since the abyss dragon cub was placed in the center of the lava lake outside the castle. In fact, after so many years of energy field fusion, the abyss dragon cub has completely integrated with the energy field of the entire crater and the lava lake below.

Recently, this crater is recovering from a dormant state. It is not caused by the rejuvenation of the volcano itself, but the cub of the abyss dragon is controlling the recovery of the volcano. It should have gradually begun to regain consciousness, but he cannot get rid of the entire energy. The **** of the field is trying to escape through the power of the volcano. Once the volcano erupts, the energy field will also be broken, and it will be able to escape.

In this case, if the cub of the abyss demon dragon is relocated, it will undoubtedly help the cub of the abyss demon dragon get out of trouble ahead of time. At that time, the cub of the abyss demon dragon will either be killed or it will escape. That kind of result will lead to the failure of the castle relocation.

Leo told Sylvia carefully about the difficulty of relocation he had considered, but Sylvia was a little surprised after hearing it, because she initially thought that the difficulty of relocation was in the mysterious rune formations all over the castle. , I didn't expect that the most troublesome thing was the living abyss dragon cub.

"Has that cub regained consciousness?" Sylvia frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll take a look at this matter at the ceremony, maybe I can solve it."

Leo heard the words and said, "Are you trying to help them relocate?"

"Help me if I can." Sylvia replied flatly.

In fact, in Sylvia's view, although the Belmont family is prosperous and strong because of this active volcano and the cub of the abyss demon dragon, this prosperity is only an appearance, but in fact the Belmont family in this world The Monte family has developed to the limit, and it is basically impossible to go further, because no matter what consciousness they use to stimulate their blood, they will never be able to cross that crucial step and reach the level of a demigod.

Instead of staying in place forever and gradually declining, it is better to let go, put aside the constraints and conveniences of the past, and return to the path of natural stimulation of blood, which may enable the family to develop differently. Of course, there are also extreme There is a great danger, and the possibility that the family will eventually decline is also very great.

After exchanging ideas, Leo and Sylvia only agreed on the matter of helping the Belmont family relocate as much as possible. As for other aspects, there was no result for the time being, and they planned to learn more about the situation here. Before making a decision, Leo had to admit that even a mental scan would not necessarily be able to find out all the secrets hidden in the entire castle.

Because of the light of the lava, even after nightfall, the castle is still shrouded in light, just like the daytime. Leo and Sylvia chatted for a while and then rested. Except for the guards who still patrolled back and forth in the castle, other people All fell asleep.

However, some hidden things in the castle just entered the active period at this time. I saw that the monster sculptures standing on each building that Leo had discovered before moved as if they were alive, and they were standing one by one. Jumping down from the position, although the body is all made of stone, it is extremely heavy, but the prancing movement is as light as if it loses weight, and even when it falls, it is silent, even if it steps on the grass, it does not collapse on the ground. .

After these monster statues landed, they quickly moved towards the altar where the cubs of the abyss demon dragon were located, and the way they moved was very strange. , even walking in front of those patrolling guards, those guards didn't notice anything passing by.

Soon, those monster statues of different shapes came to the altar, and knelt down neatly on the altar platform, and the object of their kneeling was the bound abyss dragon cub in front.

It's just that these monster statues are not the only ones on this altar platform. The three Belmont family members who Leo sensed the abyss aura on are also standing on the platform. They seem to be waiting just like these monster statues. what.

After a while, I saw a bright red brand emerge from the skull-like forehead of the abyss demon dragon cub, followed by stripes of blood-colored tentacles extending from the brand, moving towards the people and sculptures on the platform, and gradually touching. touch their foreheads.

In the face of such a strange tentacle, neither the monster statue nor the Belmont family members had any resistance, but let the tentacle penetrate into their bodies from where they touched, and also appeared on their faces and bodies respectively. There are different symbols, and these symbols exude a very strong abyss without exception.

Not long after that, the tentacles were withdrawn from their bodies, and when they were pulled out of their bodies, they also took away a little golden substance, and finally completely disappeared on the forehead of the abyss dragon cub, the symbol on the forehead. also disappeared.

After all this last night, the monster statues stood up one after another, and quickly returned to the castle according to the long distance. They stood again in the position where they were before, and then returned to the original statue form.

The three Belmont family members closed their eyes and stood on the platform for a long time, as if they were digesting and adapting to some changes in the body. When they fully adapted to the abnormality in the body and opened their eyes , a group of black-red flames emerged from their eyes, and quickly retracted back into their eyes.

Afterwards, the three of them turned and left the sacrificial platform, and went back to their respective rooms along the corridor at the edge of the city wall, as if nothing had happened. What they didn't know was that everything that happened on the platform was seen by others. .

I saw that on the top floor of the highest fireworks tower in the castle, this is the residence of the duke. The old duke is sitting on a desk at the moment, with a polygonal metal block placed in front of him, and rays of light shoot out from the metal block. , suspended in the air, forming a three-dimensional image, and the content in the image is what happened on the platform just now, the only difference is that the tentacles from the depths of the abyss dragon's forehead did not appear on it, and the abyss dragon's forehead The symbol of , and the black flame that spurted out when the three Belmont family members opened their eyes naturally did not appear.

The old duke seems to have taken it easy on this situation. His face seemed very calm. After repeatedly looking at both sides, he raised his hand and made a gesture. The metal block seemed to be instructed to quickly change the screen. At that time, the picture changed to the Garden of Hundred Flowers.

Immediately afterwards, the old duke made another gesture, controlling the screen to move towards the apartment in the courtyard, but when the three-dimensional image entered the apartment, the image collapsed into a messy mottled in front of the old duke, unable to see any specific details. form.

Seeing this situation, the old duke was a little puzzled, and then quickly adjusted it through gesture manipulation, trying to restore the picture to normal, but the end result was still the same, all he saw was some messy and dense mottles.

Seeing this, the old duke did not try any more, but raised his hand and touched the polygonal metal block directly, and then saw the metal block wriggle and change shape like a water polo, turning into a cube with the cube facing up. A ray of light is projected from one facet of the , which is reassembled into a three-dimensional image.

The image projected this time is a person, at least in terms of appearance, the image is very blurry for unknown reasons, and it is far worse than the platform image seen before, and it is almost impossible to see the details of the human figure in the image.

"Why contact me at this time, didn't I say it? Only contact me when you encounter the most dangerous situation." A voice came from the cube at this time, and the language of the voice was not Teresa's local language. It's a French with a regional accent.

The old duke also said in a deep voice in the same language: "Now is the most dangerous time. The cub of the abyss demon dragon has awakened, many years earlier than you expected."

The other party said indifferently: "Although it is more than a hundred years earlier than I expected, it is normal. After all, I can't calculate it so accurately."

"I can be sure that it didn't wake up naturally. When it woke up, it was mixed with other things and activated those gargoyles." The old duke added very seriously, and then made a gesture towards the metal block. , said: "I can't tell, just look at what they did on the sacrificial platform just now."

Under the control of the old duke's gesture, the image recording that happened on the platform just now was transmitted to the other side, and the humanoid image also seemed to be watching this video.

After a while, the man's voice came from the metal block again, saying: "No, you are mistaken, the Abyss Demon Dragon has not awakened, it is still sleeping, but something comes through the Abyss Demon Dragon's body. When I came to this world, I was just bound by the layout of the castle." He paused and continued: "The movement of the volcano should be caused by something in the dragon's body, it should be trying to force you. Relocating the castle is just enough to destroy the layout of the castle and escape."

"Then what to do now?" the old duke asked with a gloomy expression.

The other party did not respond, but did not move like he was contemplating, and after a long time he slowly said: "I remember you mentioned that Leo Dodd and Sylvia Belmont are going to visit you. castle?"

"Yes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I invited them to participate in this year's bloodline ceremony." The old duke nodded and said, "They are in the castle now."

"What did they say?" the other asked.

The old duke was stunned and said, "I haven't told them yet, I contacted you immediately."

The other party suggested: "You can consult their opinions first, tell them all about the situation, and see if they have a solution."

"What about you?" The old duke heard the other party's proposal and felt that the other party wanted to shirk the responsibility.

The other party seemed to have guessed what the old duke was thinking, and added: "Whether the two of them come up with a solution or not, I will come to the castle before the ceremony starts this year, and I also want to see this wizard from Velen. Is it the tower wizard mentioned by the teacher?"

After listening to the other party's decision, the old duke's serious expression also eased a little. In his eyes, the other party's ability is much stronger than Leo and Sylvia. Since the other party is willing to come to help in person, he wants to come to the family to meet this time. The crisis should be resolved smoothly.
