The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After buying the Beve, Leo found a hotel nearby to stay. This hotel was not opened by the abyss, nor by the surviving race of the fallen world, but by people from the normal world It's open.

Unlike what Leo thought, the relationship between the abyss and other worlds is not just the relationship between erosion and being eroded. In fact, there are some powerful worlds that can resist the erosion of the abyss and retain the connection with the abyss so that the world Adventurers or powerful hunters enter the abyss to hunt abyssal creatures and obtain precious materials. At the same time, because of the existence of order cities like Bone City, people from those worlds will also come here to conduct various trades.

These people from other normal worlds are actually easy to identify, because they are not affected by the power of order, so they don't need to wear cloaks or clothes covering the whole body, and some people even prefer the light of order falling from the sky, so they will Deliberately wearing as little clothes as possible, exposing his whole body to the rays of Symmetra, the builder of the hotel chosen by Leo is such a race that favors Symmetra.

This race has a series of extremely tongue-twisting race names, but because their appearance is very similar to lizards, Leo called them lizardmen instead.

Although the appearance of the lizard people looks very barbaric, in fact their level of civilization is very high, at least higher than that of the human civilization world on the world tree, almost no worse than the civilization of the universe.

Through a brief exchange, Leo discovered something surprising. The world these lizardmen live in is not the world of the World Tree, but comes from the subspace. Their civilization has developed subspace navigation technology, and they have I have been in contact with the abyss before, and after several abyss invasions, the lizard people's world has mastered a very complete set of abyss defense and clearance technologies, and the lizard people began to explore the abyss thousands of years ago. The excavation of abyssal resources.

Although the lizardman's cold-blooded nature made him lack any emotions that humans should have, Leo could still feel the innkeeper's pride in his ethnic group from the subtle physical performance of the other party.

The reason why this lizard man is willing to communicate with Leo is mainly because Leo can use the observer's communication ability to communicate with him spiritually. Their group seems to have been in contact with the observer before and has established a very good relationship.

So, Leo took the opportunity to ask the lizard man in front of him: "I'm looking for the domain of an abyss lord. The abyss lord is a woman named Sylvia, of course it may be another name."

"Sylvia?" The lizardman thought for a while, then shook his head, and replied: "The abyss lord is very mysterious, I only know one abyss lord, but it is definitely not the Sylvia you mentioned, he is the food The king of ghouls, the first lord of purgatory, the abyss lord you want to find can only be in the lower purgatory."

"The first purgatory?" Leo knew the name of the king of ghouls, which was very deep in the incomplete memory of the abyss serpent, but in that memory it did not mention that the king of ghouls was the lord of the abyss, nor Record the name of the first purgatory, so Leo's face showed doubts.

The lizardman did not hesitate to explain, saying: "You should have just come to the abyss from the outside world, so you don't know the specific situation of the abyss. The entire abyss is composed of countless broken spaces. These broken spaces are under the powerful force of the will of the abyss. It is kneaded into a section, so the space of the abyss looks like an endless flat continent, but in fact it is layered, but the layering of the space cannot be observed with conventional space observation methods. Although the land of the abyss is all due to Because the space is layered and intertwined, the position is disordered and chaotic, often wandering in the abyss, but there is a place where the space is fixed, and that place is purgatory."

As he spoke, the lizardman waved his hand, and a huge bug that looked like a bee flew down from the hotel upstairs. The bug flew in front of the lizardman and hovered in the air. The lizardman stretched out his hand and grabbed the belly of the bug. , and then saw a few liquid balls squeezed out from the tail of the worm floating in the air, and the lizardman stuffed a liquid ball into his mouth casually, as if tasting some kind of delicacy.

Although the lizard man also signaled Leo to taste it, but thinking of the location where the liquid ball was squeezed out, Leo had a hard time opening his mouth. He could only shake his head and refuse, and continued to ask about purgatory.

After the lizard man ate all the remaining liquid balls, he continued: "The first purgatory was discovered by Quadrome, but it was snatched away by the king of ghouls, who occupied the uppermost floor of purgatory." , became the first abyss lord, and later abyss superiors successfully transferred the domain they controlled to the lower level of purgatory, becoming the new abyss lord. Up to now, it is said that purgatory has increased to seventeen floors, that is to say, there are seventeen I think the abyss lord you are looking for should be among them."

"How can I go to purgatory?" Leo asked again.

"It's very simple." The lizardman pointed to the eye-catching abyss gate and said, "Each abyss gate can lead to the corpse city of the first level of purgatory, but if you want to enter the next level of purgatory, you need to pass through Go through the domain of the Ghoul King, go to the Black River, find the ferryman there, and take a boat to the lower purgatory."

Leo frowned and asked, "Is there no gate to the abyss that leads directly to the lower purgatory?"

"Yes," the lizard man replied, "but the Quadrome should not be used by you. They control the abyss gates leading to different purgatory, which is equivalent to controlling all the resources of that layer of purgatory. With their greedy character How could it be possible for you to use it?"

When it comes to Quadrome, the lizardmen are quite disdainful. It seems that they and Quadror should have had more than one conflict in business, and compared with the creatures of the abyss, the extreme transaction that Quadrror can erase the entire race is obviously It is not very suitable for lizard people, because lizard people are not a race of the abyss. Although the will of the abyss is strong, it can't control the wider subspace.

Leo asked again: "Then is there any secret technique such as space movement that can directly go to the lower purgatory?"

"I don't know about that." The lizardman thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I don't think it is possible, because if there is such a secret technique, why would Quadremon spend so much effort and take out so much benefit?" , to obtain the permission of those abyss lords to build the gate of the abyss in the layer of purgatory they control." He paused again, as if thinking of something and said: "But there is a legend, the legend of the black river that runs through the abyss The Lord has the ability to send any living being to all places in the abyss, but whether the Lord of the Black River exists is still a question, and our people have not found any traces of the Lord of the Black River so far."

The moment the lizard man mentioned the Lord of the Black River, a figure could not help appearing in Leo's mind. This figure was Gain the God of Death. In the world controlled by Sylvia, if what the lizardman said is true, then Gain, the god of death, must have some connection with the legendary Lord of the Black River. If this is the case, then the World Tree and the Abyss Black River may also There is some connection, after all, Gain, the god of death, is part of the black forest god system.

Leo didn't know much about the Heihe River. He only knew that the Heihe River runs through the abyss. The Heihe ferrymen are special creatures bred by the Heihe River. The purpose of their existence is to send people who come to the Heihe River to where they want It's just that people who take the ferry need to pay some price. As for the price, it is not recorded in Leo's database.

At this time, the lizardman suddenly looked at the Bev who had been standing beside Leo, who looked like a wooden figure, and said, "Where did you find this slave?"

"It's just outside the slave market." Leo pointed to the outside of the hotel, then looked very casual, and asked, "Does she have any questions?"

"No, there is no problem." The lizardman blinked his eyes, then took out a small ball from his pocket, and put it in his mouth. At this time, his eyes had a layer of purple light, and then he I heard him say: "No problem is the biggest problem. I have seen countless creatures in the abyss, and I have seen countless human beings. They come from different worlds, and they have the imprints of their worlds. For a moment, you will also be branded with the brand of the abyss, which is unavoidable," he said, looking at Leo, and said: "Even if it is such a powerful existence as Your Excellency, it is also unavoidable," followed him and pointed to the shell Madam, said: "But she is the only exception I have seen. She is too pure, even purer than a newborn baby. It is so pure that it feels unreal."

Leo looked at Bev who had no expression or movement, thinking about what the lizard man said.

Although the lizardman's words sounded a bit goddamn, Leo got a little inspiration from it, and vaguely deduced the origin of the Beve in front of him.

Leo had already obtained the information he wanted, so he didn't talk to the lizard man any more. He made an excuse, and led Bev to the hotel room.

After Leo left, the lizardman thought about it, turned around and returned to his office, took out an item that looked like a communication device, and seemed to want to contact someone, but he suddenly stopped moving, A look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he finally put the item back to its original place.

Obviously, the Lizardman should have taken a fancy to Beve and wanted to get her by some means, but he thought of the energy intensity he detected from Leo, and from the conversation just now, he vaguely felt that Leo might be Being in contact with an abyss lord, this is definitely a big shot he can't offend, so he suppressed the greed in his heart and didn't do anything he shouldn't do.

In fact, he was considered lucky that he didn't do anything he shouldn't, otherwise, the moment he activated the communication tool, Leo, who had been monitoring his actions through the spirit network, would have solved it so as not to cause complications.

However, Leo felt a little puzzled at this moment, because since the lizardman could easily discover the difference of the Beve people, why didn't he find the Beve people in the slave market before and buy them.

You must know that the stall selling Bevs is not far from this inn, and judging from the personnel situation in the Lizardmen Inn, the Lizardmen should often buy slaves of different races in the slave market, and the slave stalls are filled with various abysses. The bev people surrounded by this kind are not unobtrusive, as long as you meet them, you will definitely see the bev people. Normally, the lizard people should not let this special slave go.

Moreover, since this lizard man was able to discover the special beginning of the Beves by his own ability, how could so many people in the slave market not have discovered the special situation of the Beves, this extremely pure life form? Isn't it the best sacrifice? Moreover, this sacrifice can be continuously reborn, which is a treasure-like existence for any abyssal race that advocates sacrifice. It stands to reason that it is impossible to wait until Leo comes to buy it.

Thinking of this, Leo turned his head to look at Bev, who seemed to have no soul and was like a vegetable, and leaned down, and said to her: "You deliberately attracted my attention and asked me to buy yours, right? ?”

After Leo's voice fell, Beve didn't respond.

Seeing this situation, Leo put his hand on the star mark on Beve's forehead, and then used his psionic skills to check Beve's physical condition.

However, what disappointed him was that Beve's physical condition was normal, that is, a normal human body, but he also found that Beve's physical condition can be called a perfect normal person, whether it is internal organs, It is still musculoskeletal, which is simply the perfect standard of normal human body.

Leo had already expected this, so he was not surprised. His real purpose of this inspection was to find the star god power possessed by Beve, but he found nothing in the end.

After repeated checks several times, without any results, Leo took back his spiritual energy and planned to try again with other methods.

It's just that when he retracted the spiritual energy, he felt something abnormal, as if a very weak energy was attached to the spiritual energy, and he retracted it together.

Aware of this, he tried to strip that tiny bit of power from his spiritual energy, but that energy was too weak, so weak that no matter how careful Leo was, he was still caught by him at the moment when the stripping was completed. The energy fluctuations produced by his psionic energy were dispelled.

Although it failed, Leo was not frustrated, instead a smile appeared on his face, and then he continued to use his spiritual skills to scan Beve's body, and every time he completed the scan, he would take back his spiritual power, check In the case of psionic energy, it turns out that abnormal energy is not attached to psionic energy every time.

However, he didn't care. Instead, he stripped out the psionic energy attached to the abnormal energy, put it aside, and then continued to scan the body of Beve, continuously producing psionic energy attached to the abnormal energy, and then put this kind of psionic energy If they can be mixed together, it will tend to make the abnormal energy attached to it thicker.
