The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The two didn't stop at the entrance of the ruins, and directly entered the interior of the ruins. Compared with the outside, the interior of the ruins is much more spacious, because the interior of the ruins is a small town, a town that has been almost completely destroyed into ruins.

At first glance, it seems that the builders of this small town hollowed out the ground and then built this small town, but after careful observation, it can be found that the small town is not integrated with this underground cave at all. It can be seen from the junction of the ground in the town. Although the two are perfectly integrated and look like a piece of raw stone that has been chiseled and polished, in fact, the materials of the two are different. One is similar to sandstone. The other is the associated rock of tungsten ore. According to common sense, it is impossible for these two kinds of rocks to appear on the same stone.

Similar situations abound on the edge of the town, which makes this ruined town look out of place with the entire cave.

Another point is that the houses in many places on the edge of the town are truncated, half of which are normal houses, and the other half is a rock wall.

If you just rely on the rock wall as one wall of the house to save building materials, the other parts of the house are intact and normal, but the problem is that most of the truncated parts of these truncated houses can be seen as a room. Complete houses are truncated.

All kinds of circumstances made Leo quickly make a judgment. This ruined town was not built after digging out rocks, but a town that did not belong to this world was directly inserted into it by some kind of spatial displacement force. It reached the ground of the wasteland, and this force also forcibly fused the two together, just like welding, and finally formed the current weird situation.

"Did you find anything?" Sylvia looked around, and then asked Leo.

Leo told Sylvia what he found, and then added: "This town is not a human town, and the reason why the town was destroyed was the war. The orbital energy cannon attack on the ground, although the energy cannon did not directly attack the town, the shock wave created by the energy cannon destroyed the entire town." He pointed to the surrounding buildings that collapsed in the same momentum and the ground part Fragmented ruins, said: "This kind of destruction scene is a typical damage scene of an energy cannon shock wave."

Sylvia doesn't know what an orbital energy cannon is. She can only judge from the content that it should be a very powerful weapon. The shock wave created by the side effect can already destroy a small town. If it hits the small town directly, Perhaps the town can be wiped out directly.

Although Sylvia was very curious about the orbital energy cannon, she also knew that it might be very complicated. Even if Leo explained it to her, she might not be able to understand it, so she didn't continue to dwell on the orbital energy cannon, but asked Leo made another discovery and said, "What do you mean this town was not built by humans? Could it be that this town was built by monsters?"

"It can't be called a monster. To be precise, it should be a low-civilized cosmic creature." Leo walked to a small piece of ruins next to him, squatted down, picked up a purple-red rock, and turned towards Sylvie. Ya handed it over and said: "This is the body of that kind of cosmic creature. His name is Lightly Rockman. He is a very special kind of cosmic life. When the body is alive, it is an organism. Once it dies, it will become a body in a short time. Rock formation. Their civilization is only a low-level civilization, but because they are extremely good at finding and collecting ores, many pioneers and explorers of medium civilizations like to hire these Lightley rock people to investigate the mineral deposits of resource stars."

Although Leo tried his best to make the content of his explanations as simple and understandable as possible, and also used a lot of words in French to replace the common language of the Commonwealth, Sylvia still half understood and half understood, I just know that the builder of the town is a creature called a rockman, who is usually like a human being, will turn into rock after death, and is very good at mining and the like.

"There is such a weird race!" Sylvia exclaimed, and then looked at the rock in her hand. Although she knew from Leo's mouth that this rock was the corpse of some kind of creature after death, but she There is still no essential difference between this rock and other rocks.

"Let's go over there and see, maybe we can find something." Leo pointed to a cleared space on the edge of the ruins of the town, and said.

There were more than a dozen tents erected on the open space, and sundries such as campfire pots and item boxes were placed outside the tents, which should have been left by the explorers of Rembrandt.

The two quickly walked over and searched inside the camp. Just like the situation at the entrance, almost everything in the camp was packed away by the people who camped at that time, and nothing of value was left behind.

"They didn't have to explore this place before the accident, did they leave?" Sylvia was a little suspicious when she saw this scene.

"Probably not." Leo shook his head, pointed to some obvious marks around, and said, "They were in a hurry and flustered when they left. Some people fell and trampled here, and many people fell here too." As she spoke, she saw her picking up a few jewelry-like items from the ground, and said, "Even if such valuable jewelry was dropped, I didn't pick it up. If the people in the camp had left before the incident, they wouldn't be in such a panic." , Only after the incident, will you be so panicked."

"If they didn't leave before the incident, where did they and the excavated things go?" Sylvia asked a little puzzled, then looked around, and said, "Is there any hidden exit here. "

"Hiding the exit?" Leo hesitated for a moment, opened his mental net to check the surroundings, and then the surrounding rocks were all in one piece, except for the entrance, there was no other exit, and the rocks blocking the way at the entrance were also What he opened with a spell did not show signs of rock collapse after excavation.

However, Leo did not completely deny Sylvia's guess. He gestured to Sylvia, then pointed to the obvious footprint left on the ground, and followed the footprint towards the ruined town. The side edge went over.

Soon they came to the end of their footprints, which was a piece of bare rock. Judging from the traces on the ground, it should have been a road, but later the ruined town was cut off in the middle, and this road was also cut off, together with The town was sent here together.

"Look." Leo pointed to the traces on the edge of the rock.

Sylvia leaned over to take a look, and also found something unusual. I saw that the traces were several footprints. There was nothing wrong with the footprints themselves, but the problem was that these footprints were only half, and the heel part was clearly printed on the ground, while the soles of the feet Some of them have turned into rocks. There are still many such footprints at the root of this rock. After looking at it, it feels as if this rock is just an illusion. Those who were originally trapped here drilled into the rock. From the passage behind the rock left.

With this in mind, Sylvia reached out and touched the rock in front of her, feeling that it was no different from a normal rock, and then hit the rock with her witch power to spread out her own power, and the feedback from the power The result is normal underground ore behind the rocks, nothing out of the ordinary.

"What's going on here?" Sylvia was a little at a loss.

"There should have been an exit here, but the exit disappeared and turned into an underground rock." Leo briefly stated his thoughts, then looked to both sides along the rocks in front of him, and saw those on both sides. The ruined house cut off at the middle said: "This place should not be what we see now, the ruins of the town should have been more complete." He then asked Sylvia, "What do you collect?" Is there any relevant information that mentions the situation here?"

Sylvia shook her head and said: "The excavation here is the most confidential matter of the Hearsay Society. Even the Shaman Sacred Mountain and the Kingdom of America as participants are just funders and facilitators, not the main ones. Participants, all the excavated things were sealed up and sent to the secret headquarters of the Odd Society, where all the research materials are also there. If you want to know what was going on here back then, you can only find the secret headquarters of the Odd Society. OK."

Leo questioned: "I remember that you were also a high-ranking member of the Hearing Society before, right?"

Sylvia explained: "Yes, but I am only the Chief Bachelor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not someone from the inner circle. People from the inner circle will not hold any important positions in any political groups, national regimes, or religious forces. Only pure Scholars and explorers can be qualified to enter the inner circle."

After hearing Sylvia's explanation, Leo checked the surroundings again, sighed, and said, "Let's go! There is nothing worth exploring here, even the things left in the ruins have long been destroyed. The cleanup is gone, we need to go to the secret headquarters of the Hearsay Society in the future."

Sylvia also looked around, nodded and said, "I agree, I really want to go there and have a look."

The two turned around and walked out of the ruins of the underground town, and re-entered the mine tunnel. Leo suddenly showed a little surprised look on his face, and his footsteps paused slightly. Sylvia naturally noticed it too. Asked: "What's wrong?"

"The first rune trap I cast was cracked." Leo explained.

"Cracked?" Sylvia was also a little surprised. She had personally experienced Leo's re-improved rune trap, and knew how powerful and effective this rune trap was, even if she wanted to crack it. The rune trap also takes some effort and time, and now someone at the other end of the mine took a shorter time than her to crack Leo's rune trap, which made her feel incredible, and in her mind After a quick search, I wanted to find the corresponding object in the Odd Story Society.

"Joe Belluc!" Sylvia soon found a person with matching abilities in her memory, and said.

"Joe Belluk? The legendary puzzle solver?" After being reminded, Leo quickly found some information about this person, and asked, "Is he still alive? He should be over three hundred years old. Bar?"

Leo had a deep impression on Joe Belluk because he was the first public member of the Hearing Society, and because of his publicity, all countries in the world knew that there was such a huge and powerful power hidden among the people of the world. For a period of time, the Holy Court accused the Hearsay Society as a heresy and launched a crusade because of certain theories aimed at gods disclosed by the Hearsay Society.

Joe Belluk, the only publicly known member of the Hearing Society, naturally became the main target of the crusade, and he was very legendary in escaping from arrests and sieges.

It would be fine if he is a person with extraordinary power, but Joe Belluk is just an ordinary person, and an ordinary person has escaped the capture of the orthodox court judges again and again, which makes Joe Belluk even more special.

However, Joe Belluc is most famous not for his ability to escape, but for his ability to solve puzzles. According to the relevant information that Leo read from the old man Rembrandt, Joe Belluc once solved three puzzles. There are more than a thousand mysteries that plague various scholars. These mysteries include the unsolved mysteries of ancient civilizations, and the mysteries of knowledge related to extraordinary powers, etc., and almost one-fifth of them are related to tower wizards .

As early as three hundred years ago, Joe Belluk had assisted some countries in deciphering more than a dozen special items related to tower wizards, so even if Joe Belluk was not a tower wizard, he had a great understanding of tower wizards. The knowledge acquired should also have a deep grasp.

As for Leo's rune trap, although many of its contents were created by him after fusing other knowledge, the core part is still not separated from the framework of the tower wizard.

"I'm not very clear about the details, but I heard that he temporarily prolongs his life through a certain method, but I don't know the specific method." Sylvia explained why Joe Belluc was still alive three hundred years ago , and then added: "It may not be him. The Odd Learning Society attaches great importance to his body and safety, and it should not send him to the wilderness. If something happens, it will be a fortune to the Odd Odds Society. irreparable loss."

"The second rune trap has been cracked again." Leo sensed again at this time, and reminded.

"So fast?" Sylvia was shocked, because the cracking speed was too fast.

"There is no need to be surprised. The second rune trap is similar to the first one. If the first one can be cracked, then the second one can be cracked without spending too much time." Annoyed that the trap was cracked, he looked interested and said, "Let's wait here for a while! I want to see how long it will take him to crack the next few rune traps."

"Are the two rune traps different?" Sylvia asked.

"Not the same, all are different." Leo replied with a smile.
