The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 244: Contracts and Elixir

When he discovered that the family’s distinctive psionic reaction, Leo unconsciously doubted whether this family was the reason for these family members to watch the escape team, so just when he strengthened the witchcraft of this family, I also pay special attention to the reactions of net woven people.

Although the web weaver is still dissatisfied with Leo’s spellcasting of these asylum seekers, there are no other abnormal reactions. It seems that Leo’s improper behavior has been acquiesced.

Leo, who failed to find the anomaly, couldn’t help but ask the web weavers: “Is there anything special about these people? Why are they being targeted by family members? Why are you web weavers so nervous about these people that they will come down and follow along ?"

Although Leo asked these questions to the web weavers, he did not expect to get answers from the web weavers at all. He was asking himself more.

However, what is surprising is that the oldest web weaver said, "Lee... about..."

"Contract?" Leo was stunned when he heard the word, because the word was not in French, but in Guagamore.

In the French language and the languages ​​of the world today, the word contract mostly refers to the commercial agreement between human beings, and in the ancient Gamore language, the contract has only one meaning, which is the one made by human beings and gods. Agreement, and this agreement usually refers to the sacrifice agreement.

When the old man Rembrandt taught Leo Garmore, he had specifically explained the word contract for more than an hour, and the content of the explanation was enough to make up an interpretation book.

In the age of gods, sacrifice is a very serious matter. It is not a belief that a certain **** can sacrifice directly to this god. Before offering sacrifices, humans must first make a contract with the gods or family members of the gods, so that the gods will accept the sacrifices of the sacrifices, otherwise, even if devout believers make such a sacrifice without a contract, it is just a blasphemy. the behavior of.

But with the end of the age of the gods, there are fewer and fewer things about the appearance of the gods, the formal sacrificial rituals are gradually lost, and the religious canons, codes, and church structures are constantly improved, and the **** sacrifices are abolished as cult rites. The normal sacrifice is more a formal ritual, which eventually makes the sacrifice contract completely disappear from the religion.

Among the various religions in the Orthodox Church, whether it is the main church of the sky, the church of the king of the hill, or the small churches that have not received any response from the gods, there is no need to make a sacrifice contract. Any believer and non-believer can perform a sacrifice ceremony recognized by the Orthodox Church without any church members present.

Now the web weaver re-raises this ancient ritual that has been used in the Velon world. Leo doesn’t think it’s just casually spoken, it is more likely to represent some kind of sign, such as the return of the age of gods, because the sacrifice contract can be said to be the age of gods. One of the most remarkable signs.

Reminiscent of the question he raised, Leo involuntarily linked the sacrificial contract with these things and secretly said in his heart: "Can these people be regarded as sacrifices?"

But after making a guess, he shook his head slightly and said to himself: "No, it shouldn't be like this, it's not as simple as a sacrifice."

In the era of mythology, just as humans and gods must sign a strict contract to make sacrifices, the sacrifice offerings also have very strict regulations. It is not possible to find something casually and put it on the altar to make sacrifices.

Like the evacuation team of more than a thousand people, it does not look like the sacrifice standard of the mythological era, so Leo feels that they may not be a sacrifice or a part of the sacrifice.

Compared to the open-view valley, the forest covered by the dense giant redwoods darkened faster. The asylum seekers just **** the camp and heated up a little food. The hunters haven’t had time to clear the dangerous beasts around the camp. The surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, only the sky above the head was still glowing slightly.

Seeing this, the hunters originally knew that the hunting activities of the surrounding beasts had also been cancelled because they knew how dangerous the forest would be at night. However, they did not do nothing. Under the command of these experienced hunters, the entire camp was active, strengthening the fence defense around the camp, and also lit a lot of bonfires to disperse the beasts. There are also traps in many places that are not so lethal but can make a big enough noise.

At the same time, Leo did not sit back and think about the true meaning of the contract said by the web weaver. Although he also tried to ask the web weaver a more specific answer, the web weaver did not say a word. Obviously the contract The word already contains everything they can answer.

After asking no results, Leo turned to prepare for future battles, such as making some alchemy potions.

In the Dibia Mountains, plants that can be used as medicinal materials abound, and Leo traveled all the way, collecting a lot, enough to make a dozen bottles of alchemy potions with different functions.

Among the potions produced by Leo, in addition to the most familiar healing potions, the two most refined are two potion-hunting potion potions that require the assistance of nightmare power. A medicine is called a cat.

The effect of the cat potion is very similar to a potion called dark vision in the Wizard Wizard of the Velon World. They are able to gain night vision after drinking.

Although Leo has used spirit sight and spirit net to ignore the darkness, once fierce battles occur, every part of his spiritual energy is very precious and may even decide life and death, so it can reduce unnecessary spiritual energy. Consumption is very important.

However, I don’t know whether it is because of the effect of the nightmare force, or because of the medicinal effects of the local herbs. In short, after the cat medicine of the devil hunter was refined in the world of Velon, some unexpected Mutations.

In addition to the fixed effect of night vision, the cat medicine that originally brought the ability of night vision also has an effect similar to heat-sensing vision, but this heat-sensing vision is not directed at body temperature, but at blood.

After refining a bottle of cat potion, Leo tried the effect and found that his eyes not only can clearly see anything in the darkness, but even those in the darkness are completely in his sight. Among them, but these people all appear in the form of reticular blood vessels.

Through the extraordinary vision conferred by cat pharmacy, Leo can see every detail of blood vessels on any living creature, can see the speed and direction of blood flow in blood vessels, and can even judge the psychological activity of others at this moment through the contraction of blood vessels.

In addition, when he tried the effects of cat potions, he also had some unexpected gains, such as seeing some lurking monsters in the forest that he hadn't even found before, and the number of them made him very surprised.

When the evacuation team started camping on this small hill, Leo had already scanned the surroundings with the spirit net, found some hidden family members, and shocked them away. Originally, he thought the surroundings of the camp should be safe, but he didn’t expect to see it again with the special vision given by the cat potion. He discovered that there were more than fifty monsters of different shapes hiding in the surrounding forest, including one The monster is less than three meters away from the camp. Just a few people walked past it.

These monsters all look beast-like in the shape of the vascular network, but unlike different beasts, they have more organs than normal beasts, such as a pair of lower limbs, a head or Eyeballs and so on.

But in addition to these beast-shaped monsters, there are some monsters that have no normal shape at all. For example, the monster closest to the camp is covered on the ground like a flat plant, at a distance of a few centimeters from the ground. Suspended in the air, and a large number of root-like tentacles grow underneath, which can help this strange body move quickly and smoothly on the ground.

This monster seems to be particularly sensitive to sight. When Leo’s sight fell on it, he immediately noticed that his body was moving close to the ground and quickly moved deep into the forest. When it moved, Leo also found out In addition to its other physical characteristics, it splits and reorganizes.

If it encounters a tree-like obstacle in front of it, it will not go around, but at the moment when it touches the trunk, the body will naturally split apart, passing across the trunk, and then in another One party regroups completely ignoring obstacles.

If Leo can't clearly see the blood vessel distribution on the monster, he may mistake this monster as a symbiosis composed of countless small individuals.

In addition to seeing some monsters that had never been seen before, nor seen in the book, Leo also recognized a familiar figure from the obvious blood vessel distribution characteristics of these monsters, and the appearance of this figure also Let Leo have different associations and speculations about the meaning of the contract said by the web weavers.

The black panther’s body, the legs composed of chicken claws, plus a parrot head, so obvious physical features, Leo is difficult to forget, not to mention this is the first time Leo has seen this after he came to this world. The living mythical monster has a deep impression on it.

Mogandi is the name of this monster. He likes to eat prey heart and is good at stealth. More importantly, this monster has disappeared from the outside world, and only a part of it survives in the Black Forest.

But at the moment, this kind of monster only in the Black Forest breath appears outside the Black Forest, and there are not one or two, there are more than a dozen, and each one is female.

The books on these mythological monsters that Leo has seen have documented some of the life habits of Mogandi. Among them, it was mentioned that this monster is a maternal orc, usually a male and female, females go out to prey, males Care for the cubs in the nest, so the emergence of this group of Mogandi means that there are nearly a hundred Mogandi orcs.

If, in the Dibia Mountains, especially in the mountains only two days away from the nearest village, there is such a large group of ferocious Mogandi, then the surrounding hunter villages may have already been killed by these monsters. There are no more left, and I am afraid that legends of heart-eating monsters have spread throughout the Dibia Mountains.

But among all the rumors about the monsters inhabiting the Dibia Mountains, none of them involved Mogandi, which shows that these Mogandi did not exist in the Dibia Mountains before.

At this time, Leo also thought of the scene where he encountered Mogandi and the Black Forest Wonderland. He couldn't help but wonder: "Is the subspace of the Black Forest Wonderland spreading to the Dibia Mountains?"

Almost at the same time that this conjecture came to mind, Leo shook his head to reject this speculation, because if their place was really covered by a subspace like the Black Forest Wonderland, there would definitely be abnormal psionic fluctuations around them. It is impossible to feel the current psionic level of Eleo.

After excluding the possibility of the Black Forest Wonderland expanding into the Dibia Mountains, the only answer Leo could think of was that the mythical monsters inhabiting the Black Forest had expanded their hunting scope to the Dibia Mountains.

The reason why Leo just speculated that the hunting range of these monsters expanded to the Dibia Mountains, not that these monsters migrated to the Dibia Mountains, mainly because these monsters are all psionic creatures.

Based on Leo’s understanding of psionic creatures, any psionic creature can’t survive without a psionic environment, such as the Dibia Mountains, even if it has more food, for these psionic creatures It's like a desert. These psionic creatures leave the long-lived psionic environment~lightnovelpub.net~ Hunting in such a psionic desert realm for a few days may not cause any adverse effects on their bodies, but if they stay in such an environment for a long time , I am afraid that their bodies will appear irreversible damage and changes.

Leo, who made this kind of speculation, also associated the family members such as the swamp sons he had seen before. In his view, those family members are likely to run out of the Black Forest Wonderland with these monsters.

"Why?" Leiou faintly captured some clues that could solve the mystery, but this clue was vague, so he used his own questions to answer the questions and said, "Why hasn't this happened before? If the monsters of the Black Forest can freely leave the Black Forest to hunt, why are the people who lived in the surrounding Black Forest not attacked by these monsters? Why do weavers use Gujia when they ask about these monsters and family members? To answer me with a contract in Morey? What does this have to do with the sacrificial contract between man and god...

As questions were asked in his heart, Leo’s thoughts became clearer and clearer. In the end, he found the most central key, and his face also showed a dignified color, secretly saying: "Louis X? The Imperial Army Being able to traverse the Black Forest in a safe and sound manner, and surprise the West French continent, is obviously related to what happened after Louis X entered the Black Forest. Could it be that the mythical creatures of Louis X and the Black Forest concluded an ancient human-sacrifice contract?
