The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You said that this crystal can make your soul source react?" The group, who turned into an old scholar, picked up the crystal on the table and took a serious look, then said blankly: "Now we don't Know the reason, if you can collect a sufficient number of samples for the experiment, you may be able to discover the secret." After speaking, he paused again and said, "However, even if you collect enough samples, it will be useless, because we will soon be able to about to leave."

"Leave?" Leo was stunned and said, "Don't you still want to protect the Belmont family to complete the migration?"

"According to the original agreement, we will not leave until the Belmont family's migration is completed." Qun He nodded and then changed the conversation: "But someone took the initiative to take over our task, and we have nothing on us now. The contract is bound, and I have to thank your wife for that."

"Abyss Demon Dragon Clone!" Leo quickly understood and said solemnly: "Did you deliberately let Sylvia occupy the body of the Abyss Demon Dragon?"

"It's not intentional, it's just that I didn't stop it. Isn't this what you want to see?" Qunhe smiled and asked Leo, without waiting for Leo to answer, and continued: "If your wife does not appear, the contract will be branded. It will fall on me and Ambert Belmont, who has completed the transformation, but your wife intervened and received everything from the body of the abyss dragon. Naturally, the brand was taken away by her, and now protect Belmont. The family's task of completing the migration has also become her task."

"Is this what you planned in advance?" Leo frowned and said.

"Of course not." Qun Heyi shook his head and said, "I'm also surprised, I didn't expect you to find a loophole in the transformation ritual, and you can split your spiritual consciousness without major side effects. After we went to Ambert Belmont's spiritual consciousness, we realized that it was too late to do anything at that time, so we simply let her integrate more thoroughly. Although the contract brand will become her bondage, but It is not without benefits for her, at least after completing the contract branding, she will truly and completely control the body of the abyss demon dragon, and she will also be able to get the secret gift we left in the body of the abyss demon dragon."

"What small gift?" Leo asked curiously.

Qunhe smiled and said, "Only the unknown will have surprises. It would be boring to say it in advance. I can only tell you that it will definitely be useful to your wife."

Hearing the words, Leo pondered for a while, and said, "Is it related to the Primordial Abyss Demon Dragon?"

Qun and Yi did not answer.

Leo did not continue to ask, and then asked several other things that he cared about, such as how many relics related to cosmic civilization in this world, etc., and the answer given by Qun Heyi was a set of azimuth coordinate data, and When Leo left, he very cautiously reminded Leo not to approach those coordinates with special markings before he evolved into a ninth-level psionicist.

In fact, there is no need for a group or a reminder. Leo will not approach those places with special marks, because he recognizes that those special marks are the highest danger marks of different cosmic civilizations. Anything marked with this kind of mark represents the This item has the danger of planetary destruction, and now it is world destruction.

After returning to the castle, Leo told Sylvia the content of the conversation with Qun Heyi, and then asked Sylvia if she had discovered the question of the contract brand.

At this time, the Belmont family had discovered the shrinking abyss dragon by the lava lake. They were trying to transport it to the villages and towns outside the city. After the castle ruins were cleaned up, they would be sent to the new castle territory together. During this process, the old duke did not find that the spiritual consciousness of the abyss dragon had been transferred, and still believed that Ambert Belmont had successfully parasitized the abyss dragon, so he also dealt with some important matters involving the Belmont family secrets. Did not avoid the abyss dragon.

Although the spiritual consciousness parasitized in the body of the abyss dragon is in a semi-dormant state, Sylvia can still understand what happens around the abyss dragon clone through the connection of spiritual consciousness, so the secrets of those Belmont families are also lost. into her ears.

Some of these secrets involve contracts to protect the migration of the Belmont family. Combined with what Leo said about the branding of contracts, Sylvia quickly realized some anomalies that she had not discovered before.

"So it turns out, no wonder I feel a little weird. The idea of ​​staying behind to assist the Belmont family to complete their migration and to protect the Belmont family's new castle territory from being attacked is inexplicably rooted in the contract brand." Sylvia muttered to herself with a stunned look on her face, and said, "It seems that the contract imprint not only constrains the abyss dragon clone, but also acts on me through the connection of spiritual consciousness. No, it's not just me..." Said Then, she seemed to remember something again and said, "Everyone who participated in the ceremony at that time was affected."

As she spoke, Sylvia told Leo what she found, and Leo nodded in agreement.

In fact, Leo felt that something was wrong with the entire Belmont family after the ceremony. According to common sense, the buildings and facilities in Belmont Castle were completely destroyed by the power of the world, and the interior of the castle became ruins. They must migrate as soon as possible. This series of accidents in the new castle happened in front of us. Even if the Belmont family's descendants have been reminded in advance and have psychological preparations, they should not be so calm at this moment. After all, this is the number of their past. A century-old home has been destroyed, and no matter how good the psychological quality is, there should be negative emotions such as depression, anger or sadness.

But now looking at the inside and outside of the castle, whether it is the Pangzhi people who suffered many casualties during the ceremony, or the direct lineage people who witnessed the destruction of the castle's internal buildings, they all behaved very rationally and did not care about the casualties of the tribe and the destruction of their homes. After the old duke's order was issued, they all started the relocation of the family in accordance with the order, and they did not show any reluctance to give up the current family territory.

If these people are biochemical people, Leo can understand, but these Belmont family people are normal people, it is impossible to be absolutely rational, so he will see those who are working in full swing in the ruins of the castle. I felt extremely disobedient when I was a member of the Belmont line.

However, now that he understood the problem, and that the power to distort the minds and thoughts of these Belmont family members came from the contract brand, he couldn't help but worry about Sylvia now, so he took out a bottle for The rational potion that caused insanity when facing the gods, signaled Sylvia to take it.

And Sylvia also understood Leo's thoughts, took the potion and took it. After a while, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't work, I still have a strong desire in my heart to help the Belmont family complete their migration. However, my mind is clearer, and I have figured out some issues related to relocation."

"I'll peel off the contract brand for you." Leo frowned and suggested again.

Sylvia shook her head and denied the proposal, saying, "If I strip away the contract brand at this time, my spiritual consciousness will also be stripped away. In that case, everything will be for nothing." After speaking, she looked a little serious again. Leo smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, although my thoughts are now affected by the contract brand, but this idea is also in line with our prior plan, the only difference is that I will stay in this period of time. In the Belmont family's new castle territory, not in the academic city, not to mention that I have to take care of the clone, if it is too far away, there may be accidents."

Leo didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. In fact, even if Sylvia was not affected by the contract brand, Leo would also suggest that Sylvia stay in the Belmont family's new castle territory, because the In the current situation of Sylvia, if it is too far away from the abyss dragon clone, it will lose control of it. At that time, the spiritual consciousness of the parasitic clone may become self-conscious, and then there may be a problem of schizophrenia, so Their plans were not affected, whether or not there was a contractual imprint.

Although Sylvia's plan to stay in the Belmont family's new castle could not be changed, neither Leo nor Sylvia was willing to let the Belmont family get this cheap, so they found the old duke and said they could assist the old duke for a fee. The family relocated and guarded the safety of the new castle territory for a period of time.

In the face of Leo and Sylvia's proposal, the old duke would naturally not refuse. In his opinion, just being an adult abyss dragon is not enough to bring absolute security to the new castle territory, let alone this abyss dragon. It is still in a dormant state, and it will take a few years to return to normal. In these few years, the security of the new castle field has become a big problem. Even if he has made arrangements for this in advance, those arrangements still make him feel a little bit. Insufficient security.

Now the addition of Sylvia and Leo has undoubtedly completely dissipated the concerns in his heart, not to mention that in his eyes, the power is already comparable to Leo, who is comparable to the gods. Only the purity of blood is not weaker than that of Sylvia, who is an adult abyss dragon. The addition of it is enough to increase the overall defense strength of the family several times, plus other arrangements, it should be enough to deal with the attacks of some true gods and evil gods.

However, even though the old duke was very interested in the proposal of the two, he was also a little worried about the paid price in this proposal. After all, the price to be paid for inviting two such powerful beings should be a huge price to him. number.

If it was in the past, he might not have been embarrassed by this number. After all, the huge wealth accumulated by the Belmont family for hundreds of years is enough to deal with various problems, but now the whole family relocation requires a lot of wealth, and the construction of the new castle territory also requires wealth. , and in order to avoid hostile powers taking the opportunity to attack the peripheral forces of the family, it also needs to spend a lot of wealth to recruit troops, and these wealth are not one-time, they need to be paid continuously. In this way, in the end, the wealth that the old duke can take out will not be the same. not many.

However, the answer given by Sylvia later made the old duke both moved and surprised, and also brought some doubts. After all, in his opinion, neither Sylvia nor Leo would be the kind of meeting A person with the price of a gold coin.

Although he didn't spend much time with Leo and Sylvia, and met very few times, it was not difficult to see from his past experience and knowledge that Leo and Sylvia were both the kind of people who advocated equivalent exchange, and Now ask for a gold coin to become the protector of the Belmont family, until the Belmont family completes the overall migration and the defense arrangement of the new castle territory is completed. I was puzzled by such an unusual decision.

However, he did not know that the price he paid was a gold coin on the surface, but it was actually the guardian of an entire future family.

According to his plan, he will add a contract to Umberte Belmont before he wakes up from dormancy, extending the pre-agreed protection time to four hundred years, so that the Belmont family will not be for a long time. Need to worry about security issues, and now this plan is bound to fail, when Sylvia leaves, the Belmont family will also lose all their protectors, and this price is absolutely in line with what he thinks is an equivalent exchange.

In this state of mind full of surprises and doubts, the old duke signed a protection contract with Sylvia and Leo, but it was different from the protection contract signed by Sylvia. Leo's protection contract would not To limit Leo's actions, he does not need to stay in the Belmont family castle for a long time, UU reading www.uukanshu. The com can move around and only return to the castle to assist in the defense when the family castle is under attack.

After making a contract, Sylvia chose to stay and assist the Belmont family to relocate, while Leo chose to return to Teresa Kingdom to deal with some academies and other affairs, and then went to the Middle Kingdom area to find the kind of harmony spar .

As for the location of the Belmont family's new castle territory, Leo did not ask the old duke, because as long as Sylvia went to the new castle territory, he could obtain its location coordinates by contacting Sylvia, or directly Opening a space rift, or moving in a normal way, can get there.

Before leaving the crater, Leo went to the water drop spaceship again, but this time Qun Heyi didn't see him, just left a box full of data chips in that room, and the contents of those data chips It is not the high-tech knowledge handed down from the cosmic civilization, but the relevant information about the hundreds of worlds that Qun Heyi and his predecessor have experienced in the past so many years, and even the spatial coordinates of those worlds and the teleportation array they set up. the location and so on.

The content of these materials is so huge that even with Leo's current brain ability, it may take several months to completely include these contents in the brain database, and it will take more to fully integrate these materials. time.
