The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　 "What's that?" Leo asked, pointing to the two rows of statues erected on both sides of the street not far away.

I saw that the two rows of statues were neither statues of gods nor heroes. Instead, they were in the form of monsters. This monster had a slender body with a snake, some human heads, and a pair of long ears hanging from both sides. The big eyes bulging slightly outwards are a little abrupt, and the most striking feature is the two rows of front teeth in its mouth, which are unsightly to the extreme.

　　 This ugly statue is erected in such a magnificent human-like city, and it will make people feel uncoordinated in any way.

　　 "That's the abyss snake." Ceredor seemed to be very familiar with this monster, and he also hated it very much, with a strong disgust in his tone.

　　 "Abyssal Snake?" Leo froze for a moment, faintly feeling that the name was familiar, and it seemed that he had seen it.

　　After a quick search of the memory data, Leo found a record containing the abyssal snake, but this record is not in the Velon world, but in the universe species record of the Earth Federation.

In the early exploration of the universe by the Earth Federation, in addition to purchasing cosmic materials from higher civilizations, most of the time, they sent a large number of exploration fleets. These fleets are official and private. Large fleets may have hundreds of hundreds of thousands. People, and there may be only one small exploration ship, only a dozen people.

These exploration fleets have encountered various incidents and seen a variety of cosmic species. They all recorded what they saw and heard in the spacecraft's recorder. After returning to the Federation, the handover recorder will be based on Record the content to determine how much the bonus is, some content will make the exploration fleet rich overnight, and some will make the exploration team unprofitable.

In these exploration fleets, a small exploration spaceship composed of fifty people entered the subspace, the navigator was damaged, and entered an unknown space. Before they found the unknown space, they carried out some exploration of that space. Explore, and successfully bring the exploration record back to the Earth Federation.

　　 It's just that these people's exploration records about that space are very controversial in the Earth Federation, because those contents have too many incredible contents, and it feels like a mental patient's conjecture.

The reason why 　　 thinks so is because all the exploration team members who went back to the earth are crazy. Everyone is surprised that a group of lunatics can fly a spaceship back to the Federation and docked at the airport perfectly.

These records about the unknown space are filled with all kinds of weird things and species, and none of the things and species have an abyssal snake with front teeth, red eyes, and federal language that makes people feel incredible. .

The abyssal snake appeared suddenly in front of the exploration team. It did not attack the exploration team. Instead, it talked to the exploration team about some words. These words were very weird. They sounded like some patchwork of words, which was confusing. , Like I cut off my head and buy a package of fruit, there are illogical words everywhere, so the federal record reviewer did not care about these contents, but put these contents in the public information area for everyone to read .

It was only after a few years that things suddenly became a little weird, because some boring decryption enthusiasts began to be interested in these records, they thought it was a cryptographic language, so they cooperated to re-edit and interpret these words, and Some content that really made them crack.

Originally just cracking the content did not cause any sensation, but then something happened in the Earth Federation was surprisingly coincident with the cracked text, which made them feel that these words are the language of the Earth Federation, so more and more people Joining the cracking team finally attracted the attention of the Earth Federation.

　　Later, the Federation blocked this record on the grounds of easily causing social unrest, and defined those cracking groups as illegal gatherings to disperse.

　　 It was just that things did not end there. Later, a series of riots suddenly occurred in the remote colonies of the Federation. The people who made the riots claimed to be believers in the abyssal snake, and these people were all members of the cracking group.

The riots were launched suddenly, and it took a long time to conquer the colonial powers as quickly as planned. When the Earth Federation sent a fleet to rebel, the believers of the abyssal serpent had integrated all the fighting power of the colony together with the earth. The Federation waged a war that took decades.

In the end, the people of the colony could not resist the endless stream of the Earth Federation Fleet, and ended in failure. The most distressing thing was that the devotees of the abyss who were trapped in despair, used all the ammunition in stock to bombard the colony’s star core. Eventually caused a change in the colonial planet.

During the change, the colonial planet not only entered the decay period in advance, and could no longer adapt to human habitation. Even the spaceships near the planet also encountered the impact of supermagnetic fields. Most of the spacecrafts were destroyed in this shock. A few, if not destroyed, Nor can it function normally. Everyone on the spacecraft can die in this space coffin, and all the people in the colony die, and no survivor can be found.

　　 This matter has a great influence on the Federation, and it has amended more than 4,000 laws of the Federation. All the people and things related to the Abyssal Snake will be regarded by the Federation as the primary event. This situation continued until the era of Leo. At the beginning, Leo had received more than once missions about the believers of the Abyssal Serpent, but these tasks usually seemed to him to be framed by someone to eliminate the dissidents, and had nothing to do with the Great Serpent.

What he didn't expect now is that in this end of the world, he would hear the name of the abyssal snake again, and he also saw the statue of the abyssal snake. From the striking statue characteristics, it is not difficult to judge the two should be The same kind exists, and the space that that expedition team broke into by mistake may be the abyss.

For the holocaust of that federal colony that year, many years have passed since Leo was created, things have long faded, and the believers of the so-called Abyssal Serpent are also some framed people, so he himself looks at the Abyssal Serpent It's very light, and I haven't studied the relevant materials carefully. This also makes his current understanding of the Abyssal Serpent only stay at the conceptual things that are confusing, predictable, and dangerous, and there is no other substantive and more useful content.

"It sounds like you know this abyssal snake very well, can you tell me what it is?" Although Leo's federal database does not find useful information, but now he has another person who knows the abyssal snake very well. People can ask, he naturally does not mean to ask questions.

Ceredor also seems to be preparing to tell Leo about the Abyssal Serpent, to remind Leo to be careful, so he immediately explained after hearing Leo’s inquiry: "The Abyss Serpent has always been a legend in my hometown. , It is the most evil existence in the world, it has a mouth that can deceive people, anyone who hears it will be affected by it, its character will be distorted, and it will eventually become a monster-like guy. There are many in my hometown The kingdom was destroyed by the abyssal snake," he said. He paused and said quietly: "My hometown has heard that some people have been confounded by the abyssal snake. They are creating turmoil, and I don't know the current situation. How's it going?"

　　Listen

When it came to Celedor, Leo was silent for a while, turned to look at the statues of the abyssal serpents, and said, "You said that the king city where the gods live will be destroyed, will it also be the abyssal serpents doing in secret?"

"It's very possible." Ceredor nodded without hesitation. "I think the princess may be the incarnation of the abyss snake. After the princess came, the gods left the city, and the city became chaotic. Eventually It’s what it is now."

　　 Leo listened to Ceredor and walked to the side of the empty armor, picking up a long sword on the ground. Although I don’t know that I have experienced a long period of time here, coupled with the erosion of various invisible forces and climate around it, the long sword has been decayed very badly, but from some places that have not yet completely decayed, this long sword When intact, it should be very sharp and strong, not much worse than the special armor plate used on space battleships.

"This should be a rodric knight sword." Celedor walked to Leo and said: "The rodrick knight is the prototype and model of all knights. Whenever the world is in chaos, the royal city will send a team The elite Roderick knights settled the chaos of the world, and then they entrusted the world to those whom they trusted, they would leave and return to the king city, and put the beautiful words of courage, piety, humility, benevolence, fearlessness, pity in Rodri There will not be any exaggerated feelings on the Knights." He said, he crouched down and stroked the still beautiful patterns on the surface of the decayed armor, with emotion: "I did not expect that such a great knight would die here because of the civil war. ."

"Everything will be destroyed eventually, no matter how powerful the Roderick knight can escape the end of destruction." Just as Ceredor sighed, an old voice suddenly reached Leo and Ceredor's ears. In the middle, the two of them could not help but startle and looked at the place where the voice came.

　　 I saw that sometime in the far street, an old man in a robe carrying a crystal lamp stumbled towards the two.

　　 Leo found that his spiritual net seemed to have no effect on the old man. He could not feel the old man's existence at all. This was not because of shielding, interference, etc., but his spiritual net passed directly through the old man's body.

　　Although Leo did not feel hostility from the old man, he still turned Gemini into the strongest sacrificial knife mode, watching the old man alertly.

Although the old man's expression was always calm, when Leo turned his Gemini into a sacrificial knife mode, his movement speed paused a little, and his expression flashed with a trace of surprise and fear. This scene was naturally paid attention to the other's Leo noticed.

　　 is different from Leo’s vigilance, but Ceredor still appears to be careless, carrying the exaggerated sword, standing beside Leo, without any defensive movements.

The old man moved to the vicinity of Leo and stopped. Then he nodded at them and said, "The sound of the little demon flapping his wings can be heard even in the silent hall of the king city. I guess there are new guests. So, let’s take a look. Now it seems that I guessed it.” He said, he saluted the two very decently and said, “The two are good, I am the guide of the royal city. If the two don’t mind If you like, you can follow me to the safe prayer hall, there are also some outsiders, I think you should have a common topic."

　　 For this inexplicable invitation, Renault did not intend to agree, but just as he was about to refuse, Ceredor said on his side: "Yes, you can lead the way!"

Hearing Ceredor’s words, the old man didn’t wait for Leo to make a decision, and turned and walked along the way. Ceredor turned to Leo and said, “I’ll explain this on the road, Let’s keep up! Let’s avoid losing it."

　　 finished, he quickly followed the old man.

　　Although Leo was a little puzzled about Ceredor’s move, he did not intend to follow up, but followed.

　　 In this way, under the leadership of the old man, the two walked through the streets like a battlefield, and quickly moved towards the center of the city.

On the road, Celedor did not worry about the old man who led the way, and explained directly to Leo: "The knight I followed mentioned the lantern man in the royal city. When the lantern man will enter the royal city, he will appear in the outsiders. In front of you, and then lead the outsiders to the only safe place in Wangcheng~www.readwn.com~ in that safe place, you will not encounter any danger, and there is a bunch of bonfires that are not extinguished, as long as you are alive Beside the campfire, even if the body is most fatally injured, the wound will heal quickly."

　　 "Is he a survivor of the royal city?" Leo Ouwen said silently, pointing to the old man in front and asking.

"It's not." Ceredor gave a vague answer, and immediately explained: "No one knows what he is, just know that there is no way to kill him. Some people say that he is actually the last one in the royal city. The priest, because he saw the destruction of the king city and fell into the end of the Tao, all the former heroes are now walking dead, he feels desperate for this, so he will be transformed into a lantern guide and guide the outsiders who come to the king city , Step by step to find out the mystery of the king city, and finally make the king city completely destroyed, ending all the pain of the living dead and embers."

　　 The entire royal city presents a tapered shape. Each floor is blocked by a giant wall that cannot be overturned by ordinary people. The location of Leo and the two is at the bottom. Looking up, you can't see the real royal city at the top. This should be the civilian area of ​​Wangcheng. The surrounding buildings are not only crowded, but also disorderly. As if to see stitches, all the gaps are filled, and only the narrow streets are barely tolerated.

However, as a group of people approached the shelter, the street became wider and the buildings on both sides of the street became more regular. I knew that when I turned around a street corner, the scene in front of me was suddenly bright, and one could not talk about grandeur , But a very characteristic palace appeared in front of Leo and Ceredor.
