The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"So it is!" Leo stood in front of a statue called the Spirit of Ancestral God, used his true eye to unlock every hidden energy rail node on it, and filled it into the rune energy map constructed in his mind. , filled the last loophole, and then pushed it to operate. All the mysteries of extraordinary power in this area were displayed in this way, and he gradually cracked the hidden mysteries of symbols in this area one by one.

As he deciphered the law, he couldn't wait to recombine a special transcendent symbol through the deciphered law, and used his psychic power to try to arrange the symbol directly.

The moment he finished arranging, a thunderball that was constantly shining with black lightning appeared out of thin air in front of him. Although the thunderball was only the size of a fist, Leo could already feel that the powerful force contained in it was definitely no better than a thunder gun. How much difference, and I don't know whether it is because of the defects in the symbols he arranged, or because of the black thunderball itself, in short, the energy contained in it is extremely unstable, and it may explode at any time.

For this reason, Leo immediately sent the thunderball directly over the crater. At the moment when the thunderball appeared in the sky, the power contained in the thunderball could no longer maintain a stable state and exploded instantly.

As a result, a black thunderstorm completely covered the sky above the crater. The power of the thunderstorm even ripped apart the sky, causing the subspace vacuum above the sky to appear in the crack, and a wave of subspace energy surged from the crack. Come in, spread out in all directions, collide and rub with the energy of the world itself, and turn into brilliant rays of light.

As the creator of this huge movement, Leo's attention was not on the sky, but on the building complex of the Ancestral God's Spirit in front of him.

This building complex called the Ancestral God's Spirit is a unique building complex in the fifth warp plane fragment that Leo cracked, and it is also the most difficult to crack in the entire castle, because the buildings in this plane fragment and the surrounding other The runes, magic circles and secret patterns full of extraordinary power on the buildings have nothing to do with them. The runes hidden on these buildings are more like some kind of ancient hieroglyphics, and it is a writing system that has never been seen before. He didn't find any cross-referenced text systems in his database, not even the ones he found in the castle library.

In this case, Leo had to start from scratch, dig out the hidden extraordinary runes on the building little by little, and splicing and restoring them in his mind. This is completely physical work, and there is no possibility of trickery. So much so that the time he spent on this building complex was as long as two days, and the time he spent on other buildings was less than one day because he had information to query.

Although it took more time than expected, Leo was not without gains, and it could even be said that the gains were also far beyond expectations.

Originally, Leo thought that languages ​​like Gamorei whose symbols contained supernatural powers were unique, because the worlds he had visited also had special runes and magic circles, but if these runes and magic circles were Completely dismantled, it can be more or less related to the Gamorei language, and it can even be said to be a variant form of the Gamorei language. The only difference is the size of the ninety variants.

But now Leo's hieroglyphs extracted from this special building complex called the Spirit of the Ancestral God broke his cognition. Obviously, these hieroglyphs are a set of extraordinary languages ​​completely independent of Gamorei.

Just like Gamorei, this set of hieroglyphs can also be combined to generate different supernatural powers, and the combined form is not like Gamorei through superposition, fusion or recombination to produce Turing roots with different powers And the three-dimensional root, the method for this set of pictographs to generate power is very simple to combine these words into a language, and no special fusion method is required, just like normal writing or reading, to form a word that can be written or read. That's it.

Although Leo has not completely deciphered the combination method of this pictograph, he has already deduced some rules from the existing combination method, and he also tried to combine it just now.

According to his understanding of this kind of pictograph, the meaning of the string of text symbols he just combined should be the meaning of thunder, and the effect of the combination of words is indeed similar to the meaning, but there are also great differences, at least the combination of words The thunderball produced later was far from the thunderbolt that he simulated in his mind, both in terms of power and appearance. Obviously, this should be because he had not really mastered the usage of this word.

However, judging from the current situation, this kind of hieroglyph containing extraordinary power far exceeds the general Gamorei in terms of how to use it and the power after it is used, and there may only be multiple combinations. The power produced by the Turing root and the solid root can be compared with it.

Moreover, ease of use and powerful power are not its biggest advantages. The biggest advantage of this pictograph is that it can be used without too much extraordinary power, just like the thunderball just now, he just used a little psychic combination It's just a sentence. According to this level of consumption, he will not feel the psychic depletion when he makes hundreds of such thunderballs.

There is no doubt that if Leo can completely master this kind of pictograph, then he will have more means to use when dealing with various dangers, and the improvement of the overall combat power is not a star and a half, and it can even be increased to eight with his psychic level. level comparable.

The movement generated by the thunderball was too great, and it lasted for a long time. Even after a few minutes, the cracks in the sky torn by the thunderstorm had not been completely eliminated by the power of the world, which made everyone in the castle see the sky. This scene, but they don't know what's going on, they can only inquire if there is any abnormal phenomenon in the castle, and Leo has also encountered several groups of Belmont family people who came here to ask if it happened just now. What an exception.

Leo naturally wouldn't tell the truth, he just found a reason to prevaricate the past, and they didn't find anything unusual in this ancestral spirit's building complex, so it was nothing, until the sky anomalies disappeared. Didn't find out why.

Sylvia, who had recovered members of the Belmont family in other places, was also attracted by the huge movement in the sky, and came to Leo for the first time to inquire about the situation, but unlike others, she did not ask who made it. The sky vision, but asked if she was attacked. Obviously, she was absolutely sure that the sky vision was related to Leo, and believed that it was caused by Leo's counterattack after being attacked.

In the face of Sylvia's inquiry, Leo just briefly introduced his discovery and what happened just now, and focused on the newly discovered hieroglyphs.

After listening to Leo's introduction, Sylvia also became interested in this kind of extraordinary text that is easy to use, consumes less energy, and has great power, and asked Leo to teach her.

Leo also felt that it was a good thing for Sylvia to master the use of this extraordinary script, so he taught Sylvia the hieroglyph that he just assembled with the meaning of thunder.

This text is not particularly complicated, there are only fifteen text symbols, and half of the fifteen are repeated, so Sylvia learns it very quickly, and mastered this pictograph in less than ten minutes. writing method.

After Sylvia learned it, she couldn't wait to try to use her own power to compose this string of words.

However, the surprising thing happened, the hieroglyph after Sylvia did not produce any supernatural power, just like the other ordinary characters.

For this reason, Sylvia switched to another power and used her witch power, but there was still no response.

Seeing this situation, Leo also felt strange, so he used the power of different imprints of gods from his body to combine this string of words, just like Sylvia, the words after he used these power combinations also did not have any abnormal power. .

In doubt, Leo used his psionic energy to combine the text again, and different results followed. The unstable black thunderball appeared in front of him again, but this time, instead of waiting for him to release it into the sky, it was It exploded right in front of him.

The accident happened too suddenly, and neither Leo nor Sylvia on the side had time to react and block, but the rune magic circles and defensive strange objects on them were passively activated in time to form Layers of defensive shields protect the two of them.

Although the power of the thunderstorm ripped apart several layers of the outermost defensive shields, causing several magical items of wizards to shatter, the damage stopped there. After waves of thunderstorms impacted, Leo and Sylvia both stood in a safe place, watching how the castle defense system activated by the thunderstorm worked.

"It's really scary!" Sylvia said sincerely looking at the movement in front of her.

Leo also nodded and agreed: "It's really scary, we underestimated this castle."

What the two of them said terrible did not refer to the thunderstorm created by Leo. Although this sudden thunderstorm was powerful, neither Leo nor Sylvia could handle it, even if the rune magic on them The array and the magical wizards were not stimulated, and their bodies alone could withstand the attack of the thunderstorm, and they might suffer a little injury, but it was definitely not serious or fatal, and what they said at the moment was terrible. The entire defense system of Belmont Castle.

The moment the thunderstorm broke out in the castle, the fortifications of the entire Belmont Castle were activated, and the supernatural power contained in each building was connected together, although these supernatural powers were different, and because of the fragments of the warp plane It is divided into different blocks, but these blocks are very closely connected, and can almost be said to be one, and these extraordinary powers that have been fused together form an incomparably perfect defense network. The thunderstorm that broke out in the middle was wrapped, and at the same time, it was swallowed and channeled little by little, and the thunderstorm gradually weakened without resistance like a tame wild horse, and finally disappeared.

Compared with Sylvia, who only felt the difference in the strength of the defense system of the entire Belmont family castle after seeing this scene, Leo saw more of the core energy rail networks in the system. Perhaps It is more appropriate to use a magic circle to describe it. It is these magic circles that connect the fragments of different subspace planes to be able to integrate the power of each block into a whole, and the effect of this whole is definitely not one plus one. , more like a square increment.

Leo estimated by the pressure he felt, let alone demigods, even if some gods in this world, such as Daru, fall into the fully activated Belmont Castle defense system, I am afraid it will be very difficult. It is difficult to escape, which may be one of the reasons why the Belmont family has the confidence to fight against the Church of the True God, and it is also the main reason why the old duke insists on moving the castle together.

The thunderstorm that broke out in the air just now caused quite a stir, and now that the fortifications of Belmont Castle are fully activated, the people in the castle are even more terrified.

The gods in the castle are also mortals. Almost everyone who has lived or lived in Belmont Castle knows this sentence, and they all believe this sentence, because they all know that there is a strong defense force hidden in the castle, This power can compete with the gods.

However, no one has ever seen this kind of power, because hundreds of years have passed since the creation of Belmont Castle, the runes and magic circles used for defense in the castle have not been activated, because this castle has never been activated. Having encountered an attack by an external enemy, no powerful destructive force has appeared inside the castle, so even the Duke of Belmont doesn't know how powerful the castle's defensive forces are.

However, as long as they are in the castle now, those who are within the range of the defensive power can clearly feel the power of this power. They are all pressed to the ground by this power, unable to move, and even some people with insufficient power. Being directly crushed, only a few members of the direct line of the family, perhaps because of their status, or because of their bloodline, felt much less pressure from the power, so they could still move around.

It's just that all the members of the family who were able to walk chose to stop in place, and even a few people simply imitated others and lay on the ground, pretending to be suppressed and unable to move.

Although they were curious about what caused all the fortifications in the castle to be activated, they paid more attention to their own lives. Under the current circumstances, they still walked around, which was undoubtedly their own death. If any defense mechanism was triggered , are treated as intruders, and they will probably die without a whole corpse.

In this way, everyone in the castle was in a state of stillness, until the defensive power that enveloped the castle gradually weakened and disappeared, and all the fortifications returned to a state of silence. Back in the apartment where he was resting, he began to organize the harvest just now, and considered the next move.
