The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just when the old duke was surprised and puzzled by Count Belmont's words, in the Hundred Blossoms apartment, Sylvia also asked Leo who had returned to normal state with great concern, "What happened just now? That thing What? How do I feel about you..."

Before Sylvia could finish asking, Leo raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry, and then said with a smile, "We are lucky, we were just talking about how to master every secret of this castle, and immediately someone put the castle in the castle. All the secrets are sent to us."

Saying that, he used his psionic skills to attach his consciousness to Earl Belmont, who was in a state of energy, and then borrowed Earl Belmont's authority to spy on all the mysteries of the entire Belmont Castle, and his biggest gain was to melt the lava. The situation in the lake was clearly explored, and the mystery of the connection between the abyss dragons in the lava lake and Belmont Castle was even grasped.

Sylvia listened to Leo recount what happened just now, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. Just now, she and Leo felt that something entered the room at the same time and approached both of them. It's just that compared to Leo's ability to easily see the person sneaking into the bedroom through his true eyes, Sylvia can only see a vague energy form.

Afterwards, Leo transmitted his consciousness to the energy body of Count Belmonte, and the body showed a sluggish state. This situation once made Sylvia think that there was an attack.

Although she quickly figured out that Leo fell into that absent-minded state because of the mysterious intruder he just discovered, but she didn't know that Leo could spy on the mystery of the entire Belmont Castle in this state.

After listening to Leo's narration, Sylvia asked with a serious look: "Depending on the situation, the Earl of Belmont and the old duke should also know that you have seen all the secrets of the castle. Do we need to make some preparations?"

From Sylvia's point of view, the old duke knew the secrets of the castle, especially the secrets of the abyss dragon under the lava, which were all discovered by Leo, and would definitely take action against them, so she felt that she had to prepare to prevent things from getting worse. If so, what kind of chaotic situation occurs.

However, after thinking about it, Leo shook his head and said: "No, don't do anything, the old duke will not come to see us, nor will they ask us about things, they will only take it as this It doesn't exist, after all, we haven't affected his plans for the time being, and we're willing to assist them, so there's no need to do anything."

As Leo guessed, although the old duke and the Earl of Belmont both appeared in the castle in the next two days, they seemed to be busy with rituals and did not meet Leo and his wife alone. During the meal, there were other Belmont family members around. On this occasion, the old duke didn't say much, as if he didn't know what happened two days ago.

What's more interesting is that the old duke also asked the Count of Belmont to send some handwritten materials in person. These materials all record some secrets when the castle was built, and these secrets are the key information for building the castle. The mysteries of the defense system play a big role.

Leo is completely open to all the materials that come to the door, and it happens that he really needs these materials, and Sylvia uses a hint that they will not become an obstacle to the old duke's plan to reassure him. .

During the period after that, Leo stayed in the Hundred Blossoms Apartment, studying all kinds of knowledge he gained from Belmont Castle, and Sylvia also hinted that she was willing to assist the old duke's plan, and was invited by the old duke to join the plan. Among them, of course, it was announced on the outside that it was assisting in the preparation of the sacrificial ceremony.

In this case, the old duke also told Sylvia about the whole picture of the plan. Although there are still some contents hidden, such as the mysterious building at the bottom of the lava lake, who built the castle, etc., but at least the plan He still described the whole picture in detail, and there was nothing to hide. According to what he said, instead of letting Leo and Sylvia investigate and cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, it would be better to get out of it all, so that the two can feel at ease and assist him. Complete the plan arranged by this ancestor.

Just as Leo thought, this so-called ancestral plan was formulated by the brain in a vat of Umberte Belmont, and the purpose was also to transplant the brain in a vat into an abyss in the lava lake. inside the dragon, and then occupy the body of the abyss dragon, so that Umberto Belmont can be reborn in the form of the abyss dragon.

In addition, the abyss dragons that are bred in the lava lake are indeed the clansmen who planned to migrate from the world of Velen to this world together with Ambert Belmont, but it was not an accident that they entered the lava lake, nor were they caught by Amber. T. Belmont plotted against it, but willingly entered the lava lake.

The reason why they volunteered is because the Belmont family members who migrated to this world at that time all suffered from a Belmont family genetic disease called dragon blood disease, and almost all Belmont family members who had this disease were painted with death. Equals sign.

Dragon blood disease is a blood disease caused by the blood of the abyss demon dragon in the Belmont family in the early days. The blood of any Belmont family member who has this disease will boil like boiling water when the disease is on. Cool down, then it is very likely that the person will burn to death because of the rapid increase in blood temperature in the body.

The burning death mentioned here is the real burning death, because once the blood of a patient with dragon blood disease rises to a certain level, it will spontaneously ignite to produce dragon flame, and anyone who is burned by the dragon flame is basically impossible to be rescued, because The dragon flame is immortal, and because of the power of the blood, the person will still remain awake when he is burned, feeling his body burn little by little, and eventually he is also burned to ashes.

Such a way of dying will make people feel extremely painful, and even life is better than death, so once the Belmont family members suffer from this disease, they will choose to commit suicide before the dragon blood disease is completely out of control, so as not to suffer when they die.

Fortunately, the Belmont family did not know that they found a secret medicine formula from there, and solved the dragon's blood disease through the formula, so that this almost terminal disease disappeared from the Belmont family.

However, this has both advantages and disadvantages, because although dragon blood disease is fatal, if you can survive the life and death of dragon blood disease, then the blood of the abyss dragon blood in patients with dragon blood disease will increase by leaps and bounds, and after that The risk of dragon blood disease will be relatively reduced after the onset of dragon blood disease, and finally complete immunity to dragon blood disease.

Obviously, the Belmont family of Ambert Belmont's generation did not get the secret medicine formula. Dragon blood disease is almost an incurable disease. In this case, if someone told the patient, jumping into the lava lake might be able to cure it. If the dragon's blood is good, the Belmont family members who are suffering from dragon's blood will jump without hesitation. After all, it doesn't matter if they fail, it is just a death anyway.

From the current point of view, some people who jumped into the lava lake have failed, and some have succeeded, but there is no difference between this kind of success and failure, because the old duke said that although those people were cured of dragon blood disease by the lava lake, their bodies Their bloodlines increased rapidly, causing them to appear atavistic dragons, but their consciousness was also destroyed in the process of curing dragon blood disease, which means that in the lava lake, including the abyss dragon cub on the lake Just some soulless bodies.

Therefore, after that, the only surviving Ambert Belmonte will consider using the abyss dragon shells of his own people to free himself from the predicament of the brain in the tank and resurrect, and Belmont Castle is also built according to this situation. , This is the original words of the old duke.

Originally, according to the plan, in the best case of the abyss dragon in the lava lake, it would take more than a hundred years to fully catalyze maturity. The plan had to be advanced.

Although the old duke told Sylvia about the plan candidly, he still did not reveal a bit about the key implementation process of the plan, especially the buildings at the bottom of the lava lake. Via deliberately mentioned it, and he also vaguely mentioned it. Even if Sylvia vaguely mentioned that Leo would go to the lava lake to investigate, he did not show any panic, and it seemed that he didn't care about it.

He didn't say how he hoped Leo and Sylvia would assist in completing this plan. He just said that he could act accordingly. It sounded like he was quite sure that something unexpected would happen during the brain transplant. And he has also made perfect preparations, whether Leo and Sylvia join will not have any effect on him.

After learning about these things from Sylvia, Leo also thought that there was no need to continue investigating this so-called transplant plan. Sylvia just needed to follow her own pace for a few days. As for He also needs to go to the lava lake, even if he feels that this trip may not find anything useful.

The reason why Leo did not immediately go under the lava lake to explore the high-tech building after possessing the Duke Belmont energy body a few days ago, but waited for a few days before the old duke might have put that building. The things and people inside were all transferred before leaving, mainly because he found that the situation in the lava lake was more complicated than he expected. If he rushed there, he might encounter unnecessary danger.

If it's just lava, Leo's ability can completely deal with any emergencies, but the problem is that the fortifications of Belmont Castle are also connected with the lava lake below and the abyss dragon in the lava, which makes the lava also There are a large number of measures used to prevent the approach of outsiders. Once these measures or traps are triggered, then he is likely to face the attack of the entire Belmont Castle, and may even mobilize those abyss dragons through that inexplicable connection. Power assist attack.

In the face of such an attack, no matter how confident Leo was in his own abilities, he felt that it was impossible to get out of his body, and he would move his entire body with a single blow. The movement in the lava lake would inevitably involve the castle, and even further affect it. The upcoming ceremony, which in turn pushed the entire Belmont family to its opposite, Leo did not intend to do such a detrimental thing to others.

Therefore, Leo concentrated all his brain power in the past few days, and even used some analysis modules of the universal recorder to assist in analyzing the construction structure, fortifications and power system of the entire Belmont Castle. After thoroughly understanding it, I decided to take a trip to the lava lake.

Leo did not hide himself going to the lava lake to explore this matter. When the old duke and the Earl of Belmont were checking whether the final preparations for the sacrificial ceremony were complete on the platform, he came to the sacrificial platform openly and in full view of the public. , jumped into the lava below, directly used the spiritual energy to break the lava, drilled into it, and continued to dive.

Leo's actions naturally caused quite a stir in the castle. Except for those who knew Leo's true strength, such as the old duke and the Earl of Belmont, who were just stunned, everyone else rushed to the edge of the platform shouting. Stretching their heads and looking down, they tried to find Leo's body. Obviously, they all felt that Leo was committing suicide just now.

Some people even went to Baihua Apartment to inform Sylvia that her husband had jumped into the lava lake, but the feedback they got from Sylvia was just a plain sentence, as if the person who jumped into the lava was not his husband. , just like an unknown stranger.

At the same time, Leo has dived to the bottom of the lava lake. The isolation layer constructed by psionic energy prevents the lava from getting close to his body~www.readwn.com~ and the powerful propulsive force formed by the psychic shock allows him to easily rush Open the extremely dense lava, shuttle in the lava like a fish swimming in the water.

He is very fortunate that he made the safest decision. After studying the defense system of Belmont Castle and finding out all the means of monitoring and attacking, he entered the lava lake. If it were a few days ago, he might not have entered the lava lake. It was possible to avoid the trigger point of all defense systems perfectly like now, and came to the outside of the high-tech building that was also protected by the castle defense system.

The whole building is made of a kind of armor material for warships. This material is not only strong and tough, but also has the characteristics of heat insulation and cold insulation, let alone deep in a lava lake, even if It is in the near-orbit area of ​​the star, and this layer of armor is also fully capable of isolation and protection.

After Leo briefly judged the building materials, he began to look for the entrance around the building, and as he expected, this building completely wrapped in lava did not design any entrance or exit, or more correctly, in On the side facing the lava lake, there is no entrance or exit.

Leo was not discouraged by not finding the entrance and exit. He quickly found out through the mental network scan, and found a passage hidden in the ground of the lava lake. This passage extends along the bottom of the lava lake and the edge stone walls. It looks like it should lead to the outside of the lava lake.
