The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Latest website: Leo, they have reached the third day of the Rum peak, the temperature here is slightly warmer than the previous northern ice sheet, because the sea breeze blowing from the east sea will be neutralized to some extent The cold of the ice field wind.

After entering this area, Leo and they have met two or three tribes. Although the clothes worn by these tribes are no different from the clothes of ordinary tribes, their overall temperament and behavior are the same as in normal years. The tribes living there have a big gap.

At that time, after seeing these tribes, Leo and they quickly realized that these tribes should be the losers in the civil war in Ferrute. After they escaped from Ferrute, they came to the relatively warm eastern ice field. Lived.

Although their lives are not comparable to those in Ferrute, at least there is no shortage of food. There are also some tribes of their relatives and friends in the city of Ferrute. Those tribes can help them buy food and clothing for the winter. As for money, they also No shortage, when they fled from Ferrute, they also carried a lot of money, which was enough for these tribes to spend for several years.

However, these tribes are obviously very dissatisfied with the status quo and are still thinking about returning to Ferrut. In addition to their original revenge, it is more because they have been unable to adapt to the life outside the city, even if they are not Lack of food and clothing.

When these tribes met Leo, they didn't make trouble for Leo, but asked Leo for some things about Ferrute City.

When they learned from the mouths of Leo and others that the city of Ferrut had now returned to peace, and that other tribes in the North had not collided with the tribes in the city, their faces were clearly disappointed. Obviously, in their view, if nothing messy happens in the city of Ferrute, the number of survivors in these families can't shake the rule of the families in the city.

Although they did not get the news they wanted from Leo, these tribes warmly hosted Leo and they showed obvious surprise when they learned that Leo was going to cross Rum Peak. Looks, but they all think that Leo is a mountaineer and adventurer, so they have no doubts about Leo’s motives for crossing Rum. After all, some adventurers from the south will try to cross Rum from the north **** every year.

When Leo left, the patriarch of one of the families suddenly took out a letter and a sum of money and gave it to Leo, expressing the hope that Leo, if they were alive and returning to the south, they would hand this letter to a member of the city of Dongling The powerful court aristocracy, it seems that these exiles want to suppress the victors by the power of the French Empire, so that they can return to the city of Ferrute.

However, this does not mean that they believe that Leo and his party can cross Rum Peak. They just think that Leo and others will give up climbing halfway up the road and return to the same way as other mountaineering adventurers.

Leo did not intend to help these fugitives, but under the covert signal of Sylvia, he still received the letter and gratuity, and said that when he arrived in the French Empire, he would hand over the letter to the real power of the court. Noble.

After leaving the family's refuge camp, Leo could not help but ask curiously, Tessa Moka asked first, "Why do you want to take this matter? If we arrive in the French Empire, we should not have So much free time to help others?"

"Although Baron Ethan is only a baron of the court, he is indeed one of the most trusted people of Louis X, and several other court nobles have replaced the royal industry of Louis X managers, including the agricultural and commercial taxes of the Royal County Wait." Sylvia explained carefully: "If Baron Ethan can get in touch and have a pass certificate issued by him, then the few counties that we have in the royal hands will be less hindered."

After listening to Sylvia’s explanation, Tessa Moka didn’t ask any more questions, and Leo felt that Sylvia wanted him to take over the delivery, which didn’t seem to be as she said, just for I am afraid that there are other deep meanings for the pass, but he did not ask too much, because Sylvia will tell him when he needs to know, without asking more.

The group continued to move towards the mountain where Rum Peak was located. In the evening, they came to a humble camp established by mountaineering explorers at the foot of Rum Peak.

Although the camp is simple, there are still some things that should be there, such as a sheltered wooden house, a fireplace, a wood room for storing firewood and a cellar for storing food. Judging from the materials in this camp, it is enough for seven or eight people. Stayed here for a winter.

Leo decided to stay here for one night and wait until tomorrow to continue to cross Rum. Although it is not difficult to cross Rum with his ability, Sylvia and Tessa Moka, Mister and Randall There is obviously no way to climb the mountain at night.

The group was speechless overnight and fell asleep after eating early.

However, at midnight, Leo suddenly opened his eyes and looked over at Mister and Randall. At the same time, the spiritual net also covered the two people, recording the energy fluctuations and body organ activities of them. Details, etc., especially the appearance of some secretions on your body.

The reason why Leo suddenly paid attention to the situation of Mister and Randall is because the energy in the two people just produced a very special resonance phenomenon. If it is just the resonance phenomenon, he will not be too much. In the heart, what is important is that this phenomenon of resonance has caused a trace of uncontrolled abnormal fluctuations in the extraordinary power in his body.

Although this volatility is so slight that it is difficult to detect it if it is not carefully perceived, it is enough for Leo to attract his attention, not to mention his original ability to Mister and Randall. His behavior was somewhat skeptical, so when he noticed the resonance and discovered the abnormal fluctuation of the extraordinary power in his body, he immediately showed in his mind what the two people did in the Longhorn Tribe House.

So when he pays attention to the energy resonance effect on the two, he also pays attention to the secretions from the two.

After carefully recording for a period of time, Leo quickly found some anomalies through the analysis of the recorded information.

Whenever two people secrete some substances, such as sweat, dander, nails, etc., the resonance effect of the energy of the body will be rapidly reduced, as if the special energy generated by these resonance effects has been transferred to the substance secreted by the two Got on.

After Leo discovered this, he seemed to grab a hint of clues and guessed in his heart: "No! Not only does it cause abnormal fluctuations in power, but also more underlying things, such as...such as blood."

At this moment, Leo seemed to understand something, looked at Mist and Randall in deep sleep, and removed the spiritual net, and ignored the two men.

Late at night passed quickly, Leo and others got up early, freshened up, cut down some trees, and replenished some of the wood consumed last night, then carried their luggage and walked to Rum Peak.

Among the countless peaks in the Vinoway Mountains, Rum Peak is not the highest mountain, nor the lowest mountain, but it is definitely the easiest mountain to climb. Of course, this easy is mainly relative to the other mountains of the Vinoway In terms of mountains.

The mountaineering adventure to conquer Rum Peak began long ago. According to some records, smugglers wanted to bypass the supervision of the French Empire hundreds of years ago and travel to the north to smuggle special products in the north. They I chose a variety of peaks to try, and finally thought that Rum was the most likely to cross, so I began to conquer Rum. As a result, one can imagine that everyone who tried to cross Rum fell on Rum. In the mountains, to this day, their bodies are still in the snow in the mountains.

Although the smugglers’ conquest of Rum Peak was unsuccessful, and soon lost their confidence, they did not continue, but this behavior was spread by some plausible rumors, and turned into a human race to conquer the Vinove Mountains. The warrior feat, which inspired a large number of adventurous people.

For hundreds of years, many people try to cross the Rum Peak every year, and they all end in failure. With good luck, they can walk down the mountain alive, and those with bad luck stay directly on the mountain. The person who is closest to success is Fadia, the mountaineer who named the Rum.

In the past many years, everyone who tried to climb Rum was climbed from the south of the mountain. They never thought of climbing from the north. Until then, a noble couple traveling to the north, and also a famous mountain adventure At home, during a trip to the North, I thought about it and wanted to see what the north **** of Rum Peak looked like. As a result, they found that the **** of the north **** of Rum Peak was much gentler than the south slope.

At that time, the couple decided to try to climb. As a result, the couple still climbed the north **** according to the way of climbing the south slope, inadvertently stepped on a layer of ice floes, and fell directly under the cliff, both died, and their servants Then he returned to the French Empire alive and told the couple's experiences. Only then did someone realize the possibility of crossing from the north slope, so the number of people crossing the Rum from the north **** increased.

If the French Empire regulates the number of people entering the North, it may be possible for adventurers climbing from the north **** of Rum to be ten times more than it is now.

Climbing Rum from the north **** Because the **** is relatively gentle, the average ordinary climber can also climb smoothly, but there are also a lot of dangers here. These dangers are the moving glaciers formed by the snow on the north **** for countless years.

These glaciers are all buried deep below, and the upper layer is a thick layer of snow. These glaciers are moving at a very slow speed at all times. Because of the slow speed, this movement is hardly noticeable by ordinary people.

And this seemingly non-hazardous movement can create a deadly danger. The ground at the foot of the climber at the previous moment is still a real layer of ice, and the next moment will become an ice abyss that can't be seen.

It is for this reason that those who climbed Rum Peak from the north **** in distress are far less likely to survive than the climbers on the south slope.

Leo Before they started climbing, they linked everyone together with ropes, then Leo opened the spiritual net, looked at the glaciers under the snow under his feet, and found the location of the trap. The group was like a mountain outing. , It is easy to walk up the hillside a little bit, except for the bitterness of the surrounding cold wind.

At the beginning, Mister and Randall walked a little tremblingly. After all, they had heard all kinds of rumors about the north **** of Rum. It was difficult to be afraid or not.

So in the previous journey, Leo had to deliberately slow down in order to take care of the two, but even so, sometimes, they also need to stop and wait for the two to ease some of the physical discomfort due to tension.

However, with no surprises and dangers along the way, the two realized that Leo must have mastered the method, knew the traps under the snow, and the tension was relaxed, and the pace was much faster.

In less than two hours, the group had reached two-thirds of the height.

"Wait a minute!" Sylvia suddenly stopped Leo, who was leading the way, and then pointed at a flagpole in the distance and said, "Let's go over there and see."

Leo heard that, without further ado, he turned around and walked towards where Sylvia was pointing.

On the road, he found a crack that was not very wide. According to normal circumstances, he must definitely go around the road, but he didn’t want to waste time. He directly used the psionic skills created after the operation of the warlock's ice method. The layer of snow on the cracks of the road solidified into ice, forming an ice bridge on which to walk.

After walking through the crack, a group of people came to the flagpole.

Here is a huge, outwardly protruding rock~www.readwn.com~ A mountaineering stick tied with a lot of cloth is artificially inserted into the protruding rock gap below, and there are some surroundings to make it not Falling stones.

"Is this the list of martyrs?" Mister walked to the rock at this time, looking at the climbing stick full of strips with some surprise.

I don’t know who started it. When mountaineering adventurers began to conquer some mountains, they would find an obvious place to insert a stick when they reached a certain height, and then tie the cloth with their name on the stick. As a nostalgia, but also as a proof of their achievements.

However, most of the people who left the cloth on the stick died unexpectedly while climbing higher. Over time, these cloths have gradually accumulated and increased, and because all the above are the names of dead climbers, some people are responsible for these. Climbers are martyrs who have conquered nature, so these sticks full of climbers' names are called the martyrs directory.

For the extraordinary people such as Leo, the martyrdom of this behavior is just the product of ordinary people’s self-satisfaction. For high mountains like Rum Peak, most of the extraordinary people only need to be careful. The ability is over, so the conquered nature of human beings is just a joke in the eyes of people who really understand nature, let alone ordinary people, even gods may not be able to conquer the whole nature.
