The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 128: Understand the nightmare world

In the real situation of the cemetery at the moment, after the hypothesis of the nightmare world and the living people emerged, Leo could not help but emerge the memory fragments of the nightmare ghost he had obtained before.

Among those fragments, when the nightmare was still alive, when he fell into the nightmare world, he appeared alone in a village with a very old house style, and the people in that village were also very old. Then he was caught by the people in the village, burned to sacrifice, and his body was surrounded by dense fog, turned into a nightmare, and returned to the projection of No. 9 Golden Oak Street in the nightmare world.

In this way, the person that the villa security guard saw during his lifetime should be a living person, and it was probably the ancient village that lived in the Miria swamp in the past and was inadvertently involved in the nightmare world. Some of these villages were killed by the spirit of the dream, and some survived, almost maintaining their original civilization.

However, it is not difficult to see from those memories that the people in those villages seem to be very unfriendly to outsiders, and they are used directly to sacrifice after being seized.

Leo didn’t know if the young man in the tombkeeper’s hut was as unfriendly to outsiders as the people in the old village, but he still chose to contact him. If the contact was unsuccessful, he used psychic extraction directly. His mental memory, understand the situation here, and then go to find the wasteland shaman.

After the decision was made, Leo walked towards the tomb-keeper's hut, and the spirit net always probed the young man's actions in the hut.

The young man was puzzled by the sudden disappearance of the barking of the dog, and was very nervous. I saw him peeping through the peephole from time to time to check the situation outside, and added some firewood to the fireplace to make the fire more intense.

When Leo walked to the tombkeeper’s hut, the nervous youth was adding firewood to the stove for the third time, and Leo’s knock on the door made the young, who had reached the level of emotion, frightened to sit on the ground and ride on a mechanical crossbow The finger on the trigger also pulled the trigger because of uncontrolled nerve shaking.

In a few swishes, several circular saw blades were shot from the machine crossbow, hitting the walls of the room, and they were embedded in the wood. The blades also vibrated because the force did not completely disappear.

"Who? Who is outside?" The young man quickly took out two blades to quickly install the crossbow, then pointed at the door, and asked with a trembling voice outside the door.

The language spoken by the youth is not a weird language, but a Marathi language. Fortunately, Leo learned this main language of the Minsk continent from the old man of Rembrandt. Although he is not very skilled, he can barely use it.

"A passerby." Leo put down the hood of the leather trench coat and stood in the fire at the door, saying in Mariss.

Because Leo’s Maris language is not very proficient, and the youth’s own Maris language has some local accents, so that he did not understand Leo’s words for a while, and he was stunned for a while before he realized what Leo said. .

"Passer?" The young man's face was suspicious. He never expected such an answer, and he could not think of anyone who would run to the outskirts of the cemetery during the silver moon period.

With strong doubts in his heart, the young man walked carefully to the door, reaching out to open the baffle of the peephole, peeping out, but suddenly felt that it was a bit unsafe to put his head in the peephole, so he picked up the fire. The iron rod, lifted the baffle with the iron rod, and looked out sideways.

Through the torch sticking out of the door, the young man saw Leo's appearance clearly, and saw that the other party was not a monster, and the tension was slightly relaxed, but he did not fully trust Leo, because Leo was dressed in him. It seems a bit unusual, unlike the people in the town.

So, the young man carefully said: "I don't stay here, if you want to find a place to live, you can follow the path of the woods outside to the town, where you should be able to find a place to live."

Leo is well aware of the youth’s worries, and has no plans to break into it for the time being, nor does he have the idea of ​​using psychic skills for the youth, but patiently said, “I’m not looking for a place to stay, I just want to inquire about where this is. ?"

"Of course it is the town on the lake," the young man responded a little puzzled when he heard Leo's inquiry, but soon he seemed to have thought of something, and the originally relaxed mood became tense, Shen Sheng asked: "You Is it a foreigner?"

"I don't know if it's the kind of foreigner you said, I just lost my way when I was traveling, and I came here while walking." Leo stepped back two steps, making himself look harmless and asked curiously. Tao: "Why did I show hostility as soon as I mentioned the foreigner? Is there something unpleasant about the foreigner who came here before?"

The young man in the room did not answer, but the expression on his face was not difficult to see. Leo might have guessed it right. The past foreigners did seem to have done something that people and gods resented.

In order to alleviate the current atmosphere, Leo said again: "You have no need to worry about the Yubato who just walked in the cemetery. I have solved them all. It should be safe in a short time."

"What? You have solved those Yubato?" Hearing Leo's words, the young man's face showed a look of consternation. Although he couldn't believe it in his heart, he thought he hadn't heard another barking from the beginning. This made him have to believe that Yubato, who had a headache for the whole town for a long time, has been solved by the person in front of him.

Thinking of this, the young man seemed to realize what he was, and he did not care about the danger. He leaned over the peephole and looked at Leo up and down. His eyes fell on the king and queen who were not on Leo's waist. Said: "Are you a night watchman?"

Hearing the youth's tone became a lot of respect at the moment, so Leo found an identity that he could use, so according to the book's etiquette introduction to the night watchman, he made a night watchman's greeting gesture and nodded: "Yes , I am a night watchman who is going on a parade."

According to Wei Lun's rules, unless it is a retired night watchman, in order to better fight against enemies such as clan clan and believer, the night watchman will perform a patrol ritual every time after a while, traveling on three continents. It can not only communicate with the night watchman organizations around the world, strengthen contacts, but also find new candidates for the night watchman and increase the night watch team.

Obviously, the night watchman of the Nightmare also kept the patrol ceremony, and did not hide the ceremony like Wei Lun did not let people know, but generously made the ceremony public, even such a tomb watcher also treated this ceremony. Understand.

So after hearing Leo’s acknowledgment, the youth didn’t doubt Leo’s words, and the tension on his face dissipated instantly, replaced by a look of trust. He didn’t even consider whether the person outside the door was lying, so he opened the door directly. He came out and reached out to Leo: "Hello, this is Valianjing, the tomb-keeper of the town on the lake."

Valentin's most common name in the Kingdom of Marais is usually such a name as a freeman or serf under some identity.

The name reminded Leo of the mining tycoon of the Kingdom of Maris who first disappeared, and also thought that the owner of the villa that finally disappeared also seemed to be a Kingdom of Maris. I could not help wondering whether this person might be in contact with those Maris. People.

However, before guessing the identity of this young man, Leo was also a little surprised that the young man showed such a trustful attitude in just a few words. In his view, this undoubtedly shows that the organization of night watchmen has extraordinary prestige here, and the power is not small. At least for people here, it seems impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be a night watchman.

"Leo Dodd, night watchman." Leo said too much, so as not to reveal it.

"Advanced house! Don't meet other monsters!" Valian Jing looked outside and returned to the house nervously, beckoning to Leo. After Leo walked into the house, he closed the door immediately. Carefully looked outside through the peephole, and after confirming that there were no monsters, he relaxed slightly.

Valentin asked Leo to sit casually, then found a cup, gave Leo a cup of hot water, and then asked in doubt: "Did you watch the night watchman’s ceremony just two years ago? How did you advance this time? So much?"

"This is a temporary arranged ceremony." Leo made up a simple lie without saying much so as not to be taken apart.

Valentin is obviously not clear about the rules of the ceremony, but just heard something about the ceremony, so he has no doubts about Leo’s words.

Maybe it’s because it’s been too long for someone to stay here, and it’s rare that someone will talk with him, or maybe it’s because the tension is relaxed. After questioning Leo, Valentin began to say for himself: “Seriously , I admire you, the night watchmen, who have the ability to kill monsters. When a night watchman visited our town, I was also selected, but it’s a pity that there is only a single seedling in my family, worried that I will die. At the entrance ceremony, I didn’t call me a night watchman. Otherwise, I might be a night watchman now."

Leo did not interrupt his words, but listened to each other's chatter while drinking water, and interjected from time to time to guide the direction of the words, so that he could get more information from these words.

Soon Leo obtained a lot of information about this nightmare from Valentin's words, so that he had a certain understanding of the situation of this nightmare.

This nightmare world is a dream eccentric plane centered on Xianyue Lake, just like the upper and lower Xianyue Lake in the Miria region. This Xianyue Lake is also divided into the upper and lower Xianyue Lake areas, but the two lake areas have not been A large piece of land is separated, but it is one, but there is a small island in the middle. The main city of the world, Xuanyue City, is located here.

There are one city and ten towns in the whole nightmare world centered on Xianyue Lake. One city is Xianyue City. Ten towns are the ten small towns built on the lake. Because the lake can isolate the attacks of monsters, the towns are all built on the lake.

With the exception of Ten Towns, the surrounding area is full of forests. After going deep into the forest, and then continuing to push outwards, you will reach the dense fog area.

According to Valentin, if entering the forest is a nine-death life, then there is no possibility of survival when entering the dense fog area.

It’s just that maybe because of the leak, Valentin mentioned that there are still villages in the dense fog zone, but he seems to be very afraid of those villages, and he doesn’t want to mention more, and Leo is susceptible to each other. Did not ask.

In addition, Leo also learned from Valentin that there are two forces that rule this nightmare world, one is the Wizard Association of Xianyue City, and the other is the Alcott family who ruled the tenth town.

The appearance of the wizarding association did not surprise Leo. After all, there were also wizards in the wizarding club among those who fell here.

But the wizard became one of the forces that ruled here, but Leo was puzzled, because the wizard who was trapped here was definitely not the strongest existence, and it should be reasonable that such a powerful ruler of the wizarding association should not be formed.

It's just that soon the analysis results of the vice-brain system, and this result points directly to the true and false Legend of the Moon Lake District.

According to the content of the legend, the earliest person who entered here should have been an ancient wizard who once ruled the entire Miria Marsh and built a magnificent city, so the wizarding association is probably derived from the wizard, not The pseudo-witches of the sorcerer's assembly he guessed, which also coincided with the legendary knowledge of ancient wizards.

If Leo was a little surprised if the Wizards Association became the ruler here, then fighting against the Wizards Chamber and the Alcott family that ruled the tenth town was obviously a huge accident. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

Andrew Alcott, the builder and first owner of 9 Golden Oak Street, was also the earliest missing person.

Leo has always regarded Andrew as an unlucky ordinary victim, and now it seems obvious that Andrew Alcott built a plan for No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and Andrew himself is probably nothing. Ordinary people.

Compared with the two forces that occupy absolute dominance, the status of the night watchman is a bit better. He does not participate in any actual domination. He is only responsible for killing monsters. The resident is built in the forest. Moon Lake has a certain influence, which is considered a neutral force.

In addition, perhaps because of the environment, the people here have a deep grasp of the mystics that have disappeared in Weilun. Even the low-ranking free people such as Valentin know that they live in a dream eccentric plane. Know what are the monsters here, how to deal with them and so on.

As for witchcraft, tribes, alien cells, etc., they can all talk about it, but here is the only thing missing is the most important thing, this thing is religion.

As a matter of fact, in such a harsh environment, religion is definitely the greatest weapon to appease people's hearts, and such an environment is also a hotbed of religious development.

If it develops according to normal conditions, even if there is a hostile force such as the Wizards Association, religion cannot disappear completely, and some of them should produce some religious buds, but it is not difficult to see from his speech and manners. There is no concept of religion in his mind.

This also caused Leo to be curious about what happened to the alien arbiter and orthodox high priest who had also fallen here, so that they completely disappeared, and even a little inheritance did not stay.
