The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1581: active crater

The latest website: "Wizard?" After hearing Leo's self-introduction, everyone showed a little doubt on their faces, because they didn't know what a wizard was, and they could only find a similar thing from their daily cognition, such as witch doctor To compare with it, it turns out that Leo doesn't look like a witch doctor at all.

However, the Earl of Belmont is different from others around him. He really knows what the French word wizard means, and his face is more surprised than doubts, which also shows that his father, the Duke, is not He didn't tell him everything about Leo.

Before he met Leo and Sylvia, he paid more attention to Sylvia whose pure blood has far surpassed that of any other tribe. As for just treating him as Sylvia's husband, even if the other party Has the reputation of the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge.

However, now Leo's self-introduction made him realize that he looked down on Leo a little, because in the records left by the family ancestors he saw, wizards are comparable to gods, even if he is not at all now. Can't see any signs from Leo that are comparable to the gods.

Just as Earl Belmont was looking at Leo again, the tribe responsible for installing the teleportation device came up to report that the device had been installed and Earl Belmont needed to open it.

Earl Belmont didn't waste any time either. After all, it was not very comfortable to be on the top of Moore Peak where the air was thin and the wind was biting. He walked to one of the master control devices, and then raised his hand and pressed on the identification panel above , said an opening command in the Earth Federation language that sounded a bit awkward.

This order is just a series of numbers, even ordinary people in the Earth Federation will not hear any useful information, but Leo can analyze the fleet number represented by this series of numbers from the structure of the numbers, and After comparing the data in his memory bank, he found that the fleet represented by the opening command number was not in the record, judging from the number characteristics alone that this should be a complete main battle fleet.

When Leo was extracting all kinds of information quickly in his mind, all the installed transmission devices were activated, and the energy fields were connected to each other, forming a silver-blue semicircular energy shield.

"No matter what happens later, don't resist. The process may be uncomfortable, but it will be over soon." After the Earl of Belmont introduced the situation to Sylvia and Leo, he took the initiative to walk into the In the energy shield.

Other members of the Belmont family also walked into the energy shield one after another. Leo and Sylvia walked in without saying anything.

After everyone entered the energy shield, Earl Belmont gave another activation command, and then saw all the energy collapse towards the center, turning into a singularity and disappearing, and during the process of collapsing, all the energy in the energy field collapsed. Everything, from people to devices, also disappeared together.

After Leo's device in the transmission energy field was activated, he felt a strong pulling force, which was very different from the pulling force of the space rift.

The pulling force in the space rift comes from all directions, and people in it will have the illusion of being torn to pieces in the next moment, but the pulling force in the energy field of the space transmission device comes from the same direction, as if there is a It was as if an invisible rope was pulling him to move quickly in one direction.

This strong pulling force came and went quickly, but it disappeared in an instant. Sylvia and Leo were easy to adapt to this pulling force. They only felt a little dizzy before returning to normal. On the contrary, it is not the first time that the direct descendants of the Belmont family and others have used this device, but they seem a little difficult to adapt, their faces are ugly, and several people even need to support each other to stand firm, so as not to fall down due to dizziness Down.

When the people of the Belmont family gradually recovered from the discomfort, Leo and Silvia, who had returned to normal first, observed the situation around them.

The place where they are now is in the depths of a valley, surrounded by towering peaks, and the snow covered the entire mountain, until the foot of the peaks inside the valley began to decrease, and finally melted into streams, converging into small rivers, It flows through the valley, passes through the mountain stream formed by the cracks in the mountain, and disappears underground.

Although judging from the trees and vegetation in the valley, it seems that the location of this valley is still in the northern mountain range of the Kingdom of Teresa, because most of the plants here are unique to the Kingdom of Teresa, but Leo is still from the surroundings. The rare plants growing on the snow mountain can tell that this valley should be in the northern snowfield of the source continent. For example, on the cliffs of the snow mountain, there is a kind of edelweiss that only grows in the snowfield.

In addition, the direction of the teleportation pulling force he felt before and the time of the teleportation are enough for Leo to calculate where he is at the moment, which should be in the depths of the snow field about 7,000 kilometers north of the Teresa Kingdom. And the valley they are in should be the crater of a dormant volcano, because he can feel the lava energy below, that is, this lava energy makes this valley like spring all year round.

"It's such a good place!" At this moment, Sylvia took a deep breath. She could smell the faint smell of sulfur in the air, and also feel the energy radiation of the surrounding volcanic lava, with a satisfied look on her face. look.

Undoubtedly, for the Abyss Demon Dragon, the environment of the crater is definitely the most suitable living environment for them. The Belmont family chose this place to build the castle of the family lineage. Obviously, they have similar considerations. Living in such an environment for a long time, they The blood vessels on their bodies are easier to stimulate, and their strength can also increase faster.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage is that the blood can be stimulated and improved quickly. The disadvantage is that this method of stimulating the blood through external force will greatly consume the potential of the blood to improve, and because of this , so that even though the bloodlines of the successive patriarchs of the Belmont family have been highly developed and activated over the years, the purity of the bloodlines is still far from the real bloodline of the abyssal dragon.

But even so, the ancestors of the Belmont family chose this place as their family residence, and it must be said that it was indeed an extremely wise move.

Not to mention the additive effect of the environment here on the family bloodline, so that the direct family members can stimulate the bloodline, so that the family bloodline will not decline like the Belmont family in Velen World, and the family bloodline can continue to grow.

The security of the location of Belmont Castle alone is already a lot of benefits. You must know that even Leo would never have imagined that the Belmont Family Castle is not in the Kingdom of Teresa, but in the depths of the snow field thousands of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Teresa. No wonder the church has been looking for the location of Belmont Castle in the Kingdom of Teresa for so many years, but they have found nothing. They obviously found the wrong place from the beginning.

It is precisely because the Church of True God could not find the castle of the Belmont family, and could not completely wipe out the Belmont family, a heretical group that stands on the bright side, through a siege, so the Church of True God allowed a special kingdom like the Kingdom of Teresa Only by continuing to exist can we make various compromises in coexistence with the Belmont family. Otherwise, with the domineering behavior of the Church of True God in the Yuan Continent, the Belmont family may have been killed by them, and even turned into ashes.

At this time, Earl Belmont and others had returned to normal. He immediately ordered his subordinates to pack up the transmission device, and then he took Leo and Sylvia along a stone road not far away towards the depths of the valley.

After passing through a forest, the scene in front of me turned into a very common village farmland, and other members of the Belmont family could gradually be seen on the road. If some people have obvious mutant features, they don't look much different from ordinary farmers. After seeing Earl Belmont, these people all saluted the Earl and others very respectfully. The status is far more formidable than outside.

Maybe it was Earl Belmont's signal, or maybe it was his own idea, Miranda walked to Leo and Sylvia and introduced the situation of these tribesmen in Belmont Castle.

Different from the division method of the direct line and collateral line of other families, the direct line and collateral line of the Belmont family are not divided according to the identity of the parents, but are divided according to the purity of the blood.

For example, the grandfather of the current Duke of Belmont was only a branch of the family at first, but later, because of his blood, he surpassed all the family members, and was elected as the patriarch by the family, and his descendants became the direct line of the family. .

The Earl of Belmont was able to become an earl not only because he had a duke's father, but also because his bloodline development was second only to the duke among family members. If there is no accident, the next patriarch and duke is a certainty. something happened.

As for his son, it was because of his blood that he could not continue to stay in the valley, so he was sent out to become the city lord of Moore City, and the identity of the city lord of Moore City could only serve one term. After he died, the city lord would no longer be It was his son who inherited it.

Most of the family members living in the castle valley now have their bloodlines stimulated to a certain extent, and then they become direct descendants from side branches, and in order to further develop their bloodlines, they choose to settle in the valley from outside.

Among them, some people's bloodlines have been further developed, gaining more powerful and controllable power, such as Miranda, but more bloodlines have been further improved by the stimulation of the surrounding environment, and at the same time, they have lost Gained complete control over power, which caused very obvious and uncontrolled mutations to appear on them, just like the members of the Belmont family with obvious mutant organs that Leo and the others met on the road now.

The Belmont family has never discriminated against these members with obvious mutations, and even highly respects these people, because it means that their blood has been pure to a certain extent, and only in this way can atavism occur, so the Belmont family will Marriage objects are carefully selected for these family members so that the pure blood of these people can be passed on.

However, these family members are very aware of how much discrimination they will encounter if they leave the valley to live in the outside world, so most of them will choose to live in the valley, even if they go out, they will wear special armor made for them by the family, etc. Equipped to cover the mutated parts of the body.

As for the external branch of the Belmont family, if there is an obvious mutation due to blood, they can also apply to the family to live in the valley.

Although, Leo doesn't know whether the person who designated these family laws for the Belmont family thought about the current situation, but it has to be said that these practices are the main reason why the Belmont family can gain a foothold and grow in a place like Yuan Continent .

According to Miranda, there are seven or eight villages and towns in the entire valley that are specially used to house family members like the one they saw at the moment, and each village has at least eight or nine hundred people living in it, and each of them has The power generated by the blood of the demon dragon in the obviously mutated family members is comparable to a third-level or even a fourth-level psyker, and the Church of the True God placed outside can be said to be comparable to a paladin.

If you don't count the power at the top, or the gods who are backing the mountain, in terms of the number of paladin-level powerhouses, I am afraid that only by gathering all the paladins of the Church of True God in the Old Continent can they surpass Belmont in the valley in number. As for the number of family members, even in the Church of Justice, which has the largest number of paladins, there are only about a hundred paladins publicly blessed by the true God. Other so-called paladins are mostly those who have mastered the combat skills of paladins It's just senior priests, and the strength of those people can't be compared with the power of the dragon blood in these Belmont family members.

Right now, the only flaw of the Belmont family is the lack of high-level power~lightnovelpub.net~ Even the Duke of Belmont, whose bloodline has been developed to a very high level, still has a certain gap between the bloodline power he possesses and demigods, and the Church of True God basically has absolutely no Most popes are able to obtain the divine blessings of the gods they believe in through certain consciousness, and obtain the power of demigods.

Once the power has entered the realm of the gods, even if it is only a demigod with a little afterglow of the gods, the advantage in numbers will disappear.

Just like now, even if Sylvia doesn't use the innate suppression of her bloodline, simply using the power of her demigod bloodline is enough to level the entire valley of the Belmont family castle, and no amount of people can make up for the strength or weakness on the gap.

Obviously, the patriarchs of the Belmont family in the past should also be aware of their own shortcomings in strength. They did not get carried away by the number of family members and rashly expanded to the outside world. Instead, they chose to hide the location of the castle and not reveal the actual situation in the castle. A trace, honestly taking advantage of the Church of True God's ignorance of them, and living and multiplying, at least until the emergence of high-end power, they will continue to do so.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but turned his head to look at Sylvia, he was now somewhat aware of what the Belmont family might be up to.
