The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You seem to know what the light that flew out is?" Leo asked Mimidor as he walked out of the footprints where the gravity began to change.

The reason why he asked suddenly was not because he saw anything from Mimidor, but because he had some understanding of the character of people like Mimidor through his previous contact with Mimidor, and felt that if Mimidor Midor really knows something, and a swindle may be able to gain something.

Things really went as he expected. After hearing Leo's inquiry, Mimidor looked at the other party with extremely complicated eyes, then hesitated, and finally said what he knew.

"There has always been a legend in the holy city. It is said that the ancient sages who died in the battle are still alive, just waiting for the holy spirit to return to their bodies. According to legend, the holy spirit of the ancient sages is hidden in the holy seals they left behind." Mi Mi Dole looked at the footprints not far away with emotion, and said: "The holy city and we have been observing and exploring the holy seals in the past. When those holy seals disappear, we will send people to guard them all the time, even if For a long time after it disappeared, the Holy City would send people to check it again and again, but they never found anything related to the ancient holy spirit. I didn't expect that now..." He then turned his head and looked at Leo with a complicated expression. Asked: "Who are you? Why can you master the power of the igniter? Why can you enter the holy seal and not be harmed by the power of the holy seal? Why can you activate the ancient holy spirit hidden in the holy seal?"

"I am human." Facing a series of inquiries from Mimidor, Leo repeated what he said before.

When Mimidore heard this self-introduction before, he just regarded the concept of human beings as a certain title or identity, but now he heard it again, and he realized that the concept of human beings is not as common as he thought, so He searches his memory for all the knowledge that fits the concept of human beings.

"Is the ancient sage the creators who mastered the power of the world back then?" Leo walked up to Mimidor when he was deep in thought, and asked directly.

I don't know if it was because his meditation was interrupted, or because Leo's question touched some taboos. Mimidore seemed a little displeased, but his personality and the behavior habits he had developed before allowed him to answer Lei Ou truthfully. Ou asked, and said: "Yes, the Old Sage is the Holy City's honorific name for those forerunners." After answering, he immediately asked with a serious expression: "You are not the creator, nor are you the one who forgets, right? Bar?"

"Yes, I'm not the creator or forgetter you said, but I'm still human." Leo nodded, readily acknowledged Mimiddle's inquiry, but repeated himself as if reminding him Before Mimidor came back to his senses, he pointed to the footprints and asked, "Do you know the name of the Old Sage who left this footprint?"

"Yes, I know, his name is Tyr, and the creator of the holy city called him the embodiment of courage." When Mimy Dole answered this question from Leo, he made a ritual gesture, and his face showed A look of admiration.

"Tyl?" Leo was stunned. He was sure that he remembered the information of this name, so he quickly searched and found the relevant content, just because the concept of this name was passed by Mimidor. The thought wave was directly transmitted, and he was not sure that the person represented by the name Mimidor said was the same existence as the person in his memory, so he tried to use the language of the Earth Federation and repeated the name: " Tyre."

Hearing that Leo used the common language of the Earth Federation, Mimidor was also stunned, and then said in a very jerky and hoarse voice: "Why? Why do you know the high-level language of the Holy City? Didn't you say that you didn't?" Creator?"

This time, Mimidor used the lingua franca of the Earth Federation, but he was not particularly proficient in using it, and the pronunciation of many words was somewhat wrong, but he could still judge what he said before and after the connection sentence.

Seeing that Mimidor understands the Earth Federation language, Leo no longer uses the method of mind waves to talk to him, but continues to use the Earth Federation language, asking: "What is the name of this world?"

Although Mimidore was unwilling to continue to answer, because Leo was so vague when answering his questions, but his own answer was very clear, which made him feel that it would not be worthwhile for him to continue answering, but he is now facing When a creator who can use the high language of the holy city so skillfully, the constraints in his blood make him have to respond.

"Vanaheim." Mimidore replied reluctantly, "This is Vanaheim."

After hearing the name of Vanaheim, Leo was also completely sure that what Mimidor said before was the same concept as Tyr, the god of war and courage in a certain myth and legend in the old earth era in his memory. , plus Mimidor understands the common language of the Earth Federation, then the creator of this world is likely to be a human who has mastered some knowledge of the Earth Federation, and he feels that since the creator of this world has If the name of the world is named, then it means that there may not be only one world, but it may be a complete world composed of nine different combinations like the myth and legend.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Leo asked Mimidor again: "Besides Vanaheim, there should be worlds like Asgard and Jotunheim, right?"

"You even know Asgard and Jotunheim?" Mimidor didn't know how to treat Leo in front of him at this moment, because he knew for sure the two worlds of Asgard and Jotunheim There are no more than twenty people, including the creators of the Holy City, because these two worlds belong to worlds that have long been forgotten, and he also saw it from a broken ancient book because of his identity as the igniter. These two names, but now Leo in front of him can easily say these two names, and it seems that the other party also knows the names of other worlds, which makes him more curious about the identity of the person in front of him.

I don't know whether it is because the emotion caused by curiosity is too strong, which arouses a certain piece of taboo knowledge deep in the memory, or because the failure to find the answer in the conventional knowledge triggers divergent thinking, thus touching the things that have been known by him. Buried for many years of taboo knowledge, Mimidore suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the knowledge of the concept of human beings, so he spoke the words corresponding to the concept in his memory in the high-level language he mastered, and asked Leo Said: "You just said that you are human, right?"

"Yes, it's human beings." After hearing this, Leo understood what Mimidor must have thought of, nodded and said.

"Then you should know about Midgard." Mimidor asked again in confirmation.

"Yes, I know Midgard." Leo nodded and admitted.

"I know what you are?" Mimidor took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at Leo with complicated eyes, and said, "You are an ancient human from Middelgart, the hometown of the creator, I said Right?"

Although Mimidor's guess was completely wrong, Leo did not deny the guess. In his opinion, it is more suitable for him to communicate with this special intelligent creature in front of him, so he just smiled and said nothing. Admit it, but don't deny it, let the other party guess for themselves.

The other party obviously regarded his silence as a kind of acquiescence as Leo thought, so he walked back and forth excitedly, waving his arms, and said excitedly: "Since someone can come from Midgard Coming to Vanaheim means that the Nine Realms have reconnected, Ragnarok has passed, and we can leave here and go to other worlds that are more suitable for us to live in."

"Twilight of the Gods?" Leo heard a lot of things from Mimidor's words, and they could even be connected with the fairy tales in his memory, and he could vaguely guess what happened, but he still needs to confirm what he learned. After a while, he asked Mimidor: "I don't know anything about the past of this world, such as Ragnarok, can you tell me?"

Mimidor gradually calmed down, looked at Leo and hesitated for a while, and finally told what he knew about Ragnarok. At the same time, while talking, he observed Leo's expression, as if he wanted to learn from Leo's I found something in the expression, but it's a pity that Leo's expression has not changed from the beginning to the end, even the eyes have not changed at all, just like a stone statue, there is no psychological activity at all.

Although Leo's expression didn't change at all, after hearing what Mimidor described, plus his own analysis and supplements, he found that the world is not simple at all, or that the world was probably preserved in the first place. There are many human civilizations in the Earth Federation, and these so-called creators are most likely survivors of the Earth Federation's Rune sect.

In Leo's memory, according to the propaganda of the Earth Federation government, the civilization of the Earth Federation has been highly developed, and the races have also merged, regardless of each other, but in fact the racial and cultural gaps in the old Earth era are still hidden in the prosperity of the Earth Federation Under the circumstances, there is no real integration at all, which also makes the Earth Federation folks have many race-centric organizations that integrate the population and power of their own races. composed of ethnic and religious forces.

Although there are not many official members of this racial and religious force, less than 300 million, and they are all concentrated in the fringe colonial galaxy named the Nine Realms galaxy, but there are many people who are close to this racial and religious force. It occupies almost one-fifth of the population of the Earth Federation, and almost the vast majority are European and American whites from the old earth era, so this sect has never lacked money and resources, and some of the latest and strongest technologies of the Earth Federation will also Choose the Nine Realms galaxy as the trial run location.

The core transaction of this rune sect is the myths and legends of northern Europe in the old earth era, and the senior priests of this sect also use the names of gods in mythology as their Christian names. Tyr is the name of the god of war and courage in mythology. The senior priest with this name as his Christian name also has a very high status in the Rune Sect.

Mimidor mentioned the word rune when he was talking about the Twilight of the Gods he knew, but he didn’t mention the Rune Sect, but said that the Twilight of the Gods was because the gods wanted to compete for a thing called the Great Rune , which broke the passage connecting the Nine Realms, and the climate of the Nine Realms became very bad because they could not mediate with each other. As the main battlefields, Midgard and Asgard were no longer suitable for living, so living there Those who survive can only venture into other worlds to survive, which is why the creator came to Vanaheim.

The word human is also recorded in the broken ancient book that Mimidor saw. This vocabulary is the unified ancient name of the creator before Ragnarok, and there is a pattern near this word. Mimidor also After drawing this pattern, it was precisely because of this pattern that Leo felt that the ancestors of these creators should be from the Rune Sect of the Earth Federation.

The pattern drawn by Mimidor is called the emblem of human symbiosis. It is a school of thought proposed by the Rune Sect when it reached its peak. They arrogantly believe that the future of mankind lies in their sect, and that human beings should Become a symbiosis, and the core of the symbiosis is their Rune sect, and this badge is the badge worn by the advocates of this school of thought.

It's a pity that Mimidor didn't know much about the human condition in other worlds before Ragnarok, because the book he read was already broken and incomplete when it was recorded in their holy scriptures, and this book was still written down. The creator of the holy city marked it as a banned book, and artificially deleted some content, which led to very little and vague useful content that Mimidor saw in the end.

After Leo stopped Mimidor's introduction, what he cared most about was actually the big rune that caused the so-called Ragnarok. He really wanted to know what it was, although there was no There is no record, but he feels that this so-called big rune may have some connection with the stone throne, maybe even the fragments of the stone throne.

Although Leo felt that it was impossible to get information about the Great Rune from Mimidor, he still asked casually as if trying his luck, and said, "Do you know what the Great Rune that caused Ragnarok is? "

"I don't know." Mimidor shook his head as Leo expected, but he quickly gave Leo another surprise, saying: "But I know what a rune is."

Leo froze for a moment, and quickly asked, "What is a Rune?"

However, this time Mimidor did not continue to explain, but was silent for a while and said, "I want to go to Asgard."

Hearing Mimiddle's endless request, Leo was slightly taken aback, and soon understood what the other party meant, and said, "I don't know how to get to Asgard."

Mimiddle said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, since you can come to Vanaheim from Midgard, then you can definitely go to Asgard from Vanaheim, I just need to follow you."

Leo didn't intend to explain Mimidor's misunderstanding, and he nodded in agreement with Mimidor's request. To him, it was just an extra companion on the road, and it wasn't a bad thing.

Seeing that Leo agreed, Mimidore said what he knew about Rune: "Run is a curse and a blessing. It is fused with the power of the world, and you can feel it at any time. , but unless you are completely insane, you cannot obtain any of its gifts."
