The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"God hunter?" Sylvia sat on the boat, resting her head on her hands, staring blankly at the scenery on the river bank outside the window, muttering a word to herself.

"It's been three days, are you still thinking about Bailu's words?" Leo who was sitting by the side picked up the fruit wine on the table, poured a glass for Sylvia, and made some ice cubes with witchcraft Put it in a wine glass.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Leo felt that since the frank meeting with Bailu, he felt that his proficiency in using various powers in his body was rapidly improving, not to mention the core power of psionic energy. , Even witchcraft and other powers can be used at will, and most of the powers don't even require any additional gestures, spells, or even rituals.

Only the power of the Stone Throne is still in the state of groping, and the slight improvement is that it becomes faster and easier to invoke the power of the Stone Throne.

Sylvia took the glass from Leo and took a sip. She didn't know if the fruit wine tasted good or the ice cubes had an effect. She recovered from the trance and said to Leo : "Do you think the original blood of the Belmont family is really so powerful? They can hunt gods, and they can have such a name. There must be more than one god being hunted. The blood of the gods is really beyond my prey." Cognitive range."

Leo smiled and said: "Actually, this is not difficult to understand, just like you and I have experienced over the years, it seems that there are more than one gods killed or injured by us, and we can also be called hunting gods." A god, isn't it?" He also took a sip of wine and continued: "Actually, you just had a wrong concept because of the white deer, thinking that the worst thing for a so-called god is a demigod like the white deer, but In fact, many times the gods, especially the primitive gods, are just lucky monsters who know how to use the power of faith."

"I don't think the hunting gods that White Deer refers to are hunting monsters. The gods mentioned by an existence like him are real gods." Sylvia gave Leo a white look, obviously dissatisfied with Leo's hunting of his original blood. The gods were interpreted as monster hunters, which directly lowered several levels.

Facing Sylvia's dissatisfaction, Leo just smiled and didn't continue talking, but as if changing the subject, he said: "Do you really need to go to the capital of the Kingdom of Teresa? Leave this world , we may never come back.”

"No need, we don't know each other very well anyway." Sylvia shook her head, then asked Leo back: "What about you? Why don't you go see Petunia and the others? They can be said to be your students, It doesn’t seem right to leave without seeing them.”

"It's not necessary. We've already agreed to Bailu. It's not good to break the contract halfway." Leo also gave the same answer, saying: "And Bailu has already arranged for them. It might affect the situation if I go to see them now." To the strings of their fate, let their future fate have an unknown deflection, don't forget, Bailu said that our special state will have irregular effects on the people around us all the time, and this effect may be good , but it's more likely to be bad, I don't want to just see the students and make the whole world go to ruin"

In Leo's eyes, Penny is just a natural psychic, and his psychic talent makes him extremely envious, while Joan is an unlucky experimenter. Although the hidden danger of the implant has been eliminated, But the various abnormalities brought about by the implant may affect his life. He never thought that there was anything special about these two people, nor did he think that these two people would have any impact on this world.

But Bailu changed his mind, because when Bailu left, he specifically mentioned that he hoped that Leo and Sylvia would stop seeing Penny and Joan before leaving this world, and Lei Ou asked the reason, but he didn't explain it in detail. He just told Leo that his two students would have a very important influence on the world, and if he went to meet them, he would not be affected by the special state of the world tree law It will cause the fate of the two to shift, just like the gravitational pull between the planet and the satellite, and this shift is more likely to lead to the destruction of this world.

Leo and Sylvia didn't think that what Bailu said was alarmist, because when Bailu said this, his expression was so serious that Leo and Sylvia felt that if they objected, he would immediately kill the two by himself. Man sent out of this world.

However, Leo and Sylvia didn't care too much about the threat of the white deer. If the white deer came to this world in real form, they might still be worried, but the white deer that appeared in front of them was obviously just an incarnation , and they are still incarnations projected from outside the world using the rings in their hands as coordinates. Not to mention Leo, even Sylvia, whose blood power has been banned, can also deal with him, but they didn't do anything Rebellious behavior, but agreed to Bailu's request, promising not to meet with Petunia and the others again.

Sylvia also knew that Leo would say that, tasted the wine in her hand, and said with a dull interest: "In this case, why should we go to the city of academics, we can just leave, anyway, there is nothing worthy of us here Let’s continue to remember the people and things.”

Leo explained: "No, there's something I'm interested in in Academic City. Before leaving, check to see if it's the same as what I guessed. If it's what I think, I might take it away."

"What?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"An ancient human skull." Leo replied.

"Ancient human skull? Is it the skull placed in the main hall of the Forbidden Books Building?" Sylvia asked in confirmation, and when Leo nodded in recognition, she was puzzled and said, "What's so important?"

Leo said: "It's not important if it's just an ordinary ancient human skull, but what if it's the head of the head of a wizard academy?"

"Why is it involved in the Wizarding Academy again?" Sylvia asked more and more confused.

Leo then explained: "The book recorded in the wizard tower mentioned that the body of the head of the early wizard academy would undergo some special treatment after death, and his body would be made into a statue and placed in the academy , but his skull will be removed and made into a special wizard wonder, which will be handed over to the next head of the wizarding academy, and the skull of the previous head of the wizarding academy will be sent into the void. Placed in the academic The ancient human skull in the main hall of the Forbidden Book Building in the City of Forbidden City has a symbol mark on its forehead. I thought it was just a symbol mark of some primitive belief, but after reading the books in the wizard tower, I realized that the symbol was a kind of symbol. Identity symbols, only wizards who have reached the level of the fourth ring in the wizarding academy are eligible to engrave such a symbol on their foreheads, and according to the books there, only the head of the wizarding academy is a fourth-ring wizard, so I doubt that The skull belonged to the head of a certain Wizarding Academy, this skull should have been sent into the void, fell into this world for some reason, and was then stored away as the skull of an ancient human being."

"What's the value of the skull of the head of the wizard academy?" Sylvia was still a little puzzled after hearing this: "I remember you checked the skull more than once and confirmed that it was just an ordinary skull. There is no extraordinary power. It is obvious that the power contained in that skull has been completely wiped out during the days when it was drifting outside in the void. It is no longer a wizard wonder, but a skull. What is the value of this thing? ?”

Leo smiled and said: "Of course it is valuable, because it may contain the knowledge of the entire Wizarding Academy. If that is the case, there will be no danger for us to go to the Wizarding Academy."

Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion, but didn't ask, but waited for Leo to answer.

So, Leo continued to tell the information about the skull. It turned out that when the head of the Wizarding Academy died, his power and knowledge would be injected into the skull through a specific ceremony. Once the skull was made into a wizard's wonder , then this wizard wonder possesses all the power of the four-ring wizard, and if the next wizard academy president holds it, it will be of great benefit to stabilizing the entire wizard academy.

As for why it is not possible to master two magical objects made from the skulls of the head of the wizarding academy at the same time, after the new head's skull is obtained, the old head's skull will be thrown into the void, which is what Leo saw in the books It was not recorded, but Leo guessed that this may involve some kind of ritual of the Wizarding Academy itself, and it may be that the skulls of the two Headmasters of the Wizarding Academy cannot coexist, and once they are put together, something bad will happen.

Sylvia didn't say anything after solving the confusion. After drinking the wine in the glass, she and Leo continued to train her ability to control the power of the original blood.

Leo had tried to devour the power of the god hunter's bloodline that devoured Sylvia before, and wanted to help Sylvia find a way to master and improve this power by analyzing this power, but the result was not very smooth, although He successfully absorbed the power of a hunter of gods, but this power was not fused and analyzed like the other captured extraordinary powers, and then a stone pillar was produced on the throne square, which was always floating among all the powers In addition, once the power of the Stone Throne is invoked, it will self-dissipate, but in front of other forces, it remains untouched like a cunning fish, and can only analyze its remaining power through the energy analysis technique of psionic energy Breath, only barely able to find out some characteristics of the power of the hunter of the gods.

Now Sylvia's training method is specially created based on these characteristics. For example, Leo can use any kind of extraordinary power to write in the air, and the power used in it is very weak, so weak that even a light touch with his hand will The degree of complete dissipation, and Sylvia needs to turn his back to him, and say every kind of power he uses and what the word is. This is to train Sylvia's sensitivity to any kind of extraordinary power, And with the strengthening of training, the sensing distance will also be lengthened.

There are several similar training methods, all of which are specially designed by Leo and tested to be effective. In just a few days, Sylvia's mastery of the power of her original blood has improved Quite a few, it is not a problem to apply it to actual combat, but the skills and methods needed in the actual combat process need to be continuously created and improved by her in the future. At least the previous skills are not helpful to her, but will become the key to her mastering the original blood. power barrier.

I don’t know if it’s because the founding of the Middle Kingdom region stimulated commercial trade in the entire Old Continent. After leaving the Middle Kingdom region, whether it’s land or water, you can see a large number of caravans transporting various goods towards The Middle Kingdom region rushed over, and it seemed that they wanted to make a fortune when the Middle Kingdom region was established, but there were very few ships heading in the opposite direction like the ship Leo was on.

Although the gathering of a large number of caravans occupies most of the traffic arteries to a certain extent and hinders the normal appearance of many people, the gathering of caravans also makes the roads much safer, and almost no bandits will run away at this time. Come out to rob caravans, because they often have to face not just one caravan guard, but several caravans.

Leo and Sylvia also switched to the waterway because the road on land was difficult. Although they took a detour, they traveled much faster than taking the land road. It took only three days to reach Trey. At the border of Teresa Kingdom, you only need to climb a few mountains to enter Teresa Kingdom.

It was night when Leo and his wife went ashore, but they did not stop at the port city where they went ashore. Instead, they went directly over the mountain and entered the Kingdom of Teresa that night. They didn't let these cultists go in order to hurry, but used these cultists as targets to train Sylvia to familiarize herself with her own power.

Although the end result was the demise of the cultists without exception, Sylvia was not satisfied, because in the process of solving the cultists, she was still unable to control her power well, causing some The people who were hijacked to serve as ritual sacrifices of the cult had some unnecessary casualties, and she also found that she had a lot of flaws in her control of power, so that she would ask Leo to accompany her to carry out various activities in the future. Training, and even created some small training methods that I can use in my daily life.

Leo naturally agreed with Sylvia's initiative to strengthen the mastery of the power of the hunter, and he will no longer participate in Sylvia's analysis and understanding of the power of the original bloodline. , because he found that the effect of Sylvia's understanding and mastering the power of the original bloodline through various exercises was far greater than the effect of assisting Sylvia in analyzing and understanding this power, so later on he completely regarded himself as a A sparring partner.
