The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Facing Seredore's question, Leo could only smile, he didn't know how to explain it, and Seredor also felt that he seemed to ask some questions that shouldn't be asked, scratched his head, and laughed He smiled, and then regarded the question he raised as non-existent, turned around and continued to lead the way.

Because of Leo's help, the originally dangerous road became much easier. No matter where the monster is hiding, Leo can find it through the spiritual network, or bypass the road, or directly solve it secretly , when the two of them turned over the ruins and came to the edge of a huge arena ruins, Leo already had more than 30 pieces of high-energy substances obtained by hunting monsters on hand.

It's a pity that in order to solve the monster in the shortest time, Leo used the strongest means and didn't use the soul bonfire rune, otherwise what he got would not be the three accelerated high-energy substances, but some soul crystals.

"Is that it?" Leo's mental net swept around the arena, but he didn't find any other monsters, and he also didn't find the servant of the fallen god mentioned by Thredor, but he was in the arena, I saw a stone statue of about ten meters standing very abruptly in the center. The shape of this stone statue is very ordinary, roughly resembling a lion, but the lion's tail is three scorpion tails.

"Yes, that's it, Batovi, the pet of the God of Hunting." Seredor tightened the hand holding the long sword, turned to Leo and said in a deep voice: "My friend, I will see you later Jump down to duel with this monster, I hope you can help me block the helper summoned by that monster, but I don't want you to participate in my duel with the monster, even if I die in front of you, you don't want to intervene."

Although Seredore called himself a friend from time to time, Leo didn't feel disgusted. Although he had just met this onion knight, he felt that this man was a bold person and a person worth making friends with. Faced with Theredore's request, Leo nodded and said, "As long as that monster doesn't take the initiative to attack me, I won't take part in your battle, but if the monster takes the initiative to attack me, I will still fight back." of."

"Okay, thank you." Seredore nodded to Leo, then put the small shield hanging on his waist in his hand, and strode forward with the big sword that looked very uncoordinated. On the edge of the stands of the arena, he jumped off the high platform, walked quickly to the stone statue, raised the long sword in his hand, pointed at the stone statue, and said loudly: "The hound of the hunting god, Bator the man-eating Wei, I am Theredor of Catalina, I want to avenge those people who were swallowed up by you in Catalina in the past countless years, take my long sword!"

When Seredore said these words, he deliberately used a very thick chant, which sounded like singing, but gave people a feeling of passion. It's just such a bold statement, but it didn't cause any reaction. According to Seredor's initial prediction, after he finished speaking, Bartovi should recover from the state of the statue, and then It would be right to start a life-and-death battle with him, but now there is no reaction, as if Batowy is just a stone statue.

Leo, who was standing on the stand, also noticed the abnormality. He jumped from the stand into the arena, then walked to the statue in the middle, reached out to touch the statue, and forcibly instilled it with spiritual power. After receiving the feedback of spiritual power , he turned his head to look at Seledor with a strange expression, and said, "I think you should win this duel, because your opponent is already dead."

"Ah?" Seredore was confused by Leo's words. On the way, he had already made plans to fight to the death here. He even used his greatest courage to shout out his declaration of duel just now, but Unexpectedly, the battle was over before it even started.

"Impossible? How could it die? It's the beast Bartowi that even the gods have eaten. How could it die?" After recovering from her senses, Seredor was still a little unbelievable, muttering in her mouth. language, and tried to stab the long sword in his hand into the statue in front of him.

"It is indeed dead, but I'm curious who killed it." Leo circled the statue a few times. The details of some organs in the body speculate that the power of this monster was absolutely comparable to that of him now, but such a powerful monster was silently petrified to death. Obviously, the existence of petrification absolutely surpassed this The mighty power of monsters.

"I may know who killed it." Although Seredor was a little frustrated that he could not complete the battle he planned, he still cheered up and answered Leo's questions, saying: "Although the gods have already After leaving the royal city, there are still some divine descendants in the royal city, and only the princess from the abyss can petrify the divine descendants of Batovi in ​​an instant."

"Princess from the abyss?" Leo looked at Seledor in confusion.

"I don't know the specifics, I just heard from some rumors that the king elected by the descendants of the gods married a woman from the sea, this woman not only brought prosperity and stability to the royal city , also brought extravagance and depravity to the royal city, and then the abyss appeared in the royal city, and the gods began to hate the filth of the royal city, and abandoned the royal city, the abyss occupied the royal city, and the city of the gods fell from then on."

Seeing that Seredore sang a poem very proficiently, and thinking about the way Seredor spoke before, Leo couldn't help but wondered: "Mr. A bard?"

"Ah, haha! How is that possible? I'm Seredor of Catalina, the famous onion knight." After a cry of surprise, Seredor laughed in disguise.

Leo didn't need to test anymore, he had figured out from the other party's attitude that the other party was definitely not a knight, probably just a bard with a dream of being a knight.

"Hey! I'm sorry, I'm not a casual liar." Knowing that she couldn't hide her identity, Seredore lowered her head in shame, and then said slowly to Leo: "I'm indeed a knight, but I'm just a knight. My identity is inherited from my father. I am a member of the French Opera Troupe. I am a special-shaped performer of knights. I have played knights for decades. I have to defeat dozens of monsters and hundreds of robbers on the stage every day. , to save the poor, and to punish the nobles, but I have never really fought against people with a sword.”

Having said this, he took off his ridiculous onion helmet, revealing his withered face, and said: "Until I was already a embers, I left the opera troupe and walked alone in the wilderness, avoiding crowds, and others I hid in the forest like embers, waiting for hunters to catch me. But when I met a knight, a knight who also became embers, he let me know that knights are not just an identity, a name, but also a responsibility. I I followed this knight to the place where everything ends, and learned how to fight and how to survive here under the knight's teaching, until the knight finally lost his mind because the flames went out and became a living dead."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched a repaired part of the armor's heart, and said, "I personally solved him, inherited this armor, and also inherited his will. From that moment on, I am Catalina Seredore." Then, he looked at Leo with regret, and said: "My friend, I'm sorry, I lied to you, if you don't want to continue marching towards the royal city with me, I can understand, after all ..."

"How do I enter the royal city?" Leo, who was always calm, interrupted Seredore and asked:

"Huh?" Theredore was taken aback.

"I'm asking how to enter the king's city." Leo repeated his previous question and said, "Didn't you say that as long as you solve this monster, you can get an item leading to the king's city?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Seredore nodded again and again, and then couldn't help but wonder, "Are you still willing to go to the royal city with me, a liar?"

Leo casually gave a reason, and said: "I don't know anything about Wangcheng, you seem to know the situation in Wangcheng very well, so with you by my side, I should be able to avoid many dangers."

"Of course, I am very familiar with Wangcheng. I have studied Wangcheng for many years, and it will definitely be helpful to you." Seredore nodded repeatedly, then put on the helmet again, put his hands on his waist, and laughed loudly: "Haha! I My friends, let us march towards the royal city together!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked up to the monster, took off a piece of cloth hanging from the monster's neck, found a cross wooden pole around, and put the cloth on the wooden pole.

Leo saw that this piece of cloth was just an ordinary piece of cloth, the only special thing was that there was a lot of dirt on the surface, and there was an extra ring-shaped badge.

There was no need for Leo to take the initiative to ask, Seredore had already replied in advance: "This is called the ring seal flag. It is just an ordinary flag, but the ring seal on it is an agreement made by the gods and some creatures. We are suspicious." Summon some creatures who can help us go to the king's city."

After finishing speaking, the two left the arena and returned to the edge of the cliff from the original path. Then they saw Seredor forcefully inserting the ring flag in front of the cliff, and took two steps back. Stand side by side with Leo, and then said to Leo: "No matter what appears later, don't be surprised, let alone attack them, they will only help us reach the king city, and will not attack us."

Leo heard this, but didn't speak, because his mental network felt that when the flag was inserted in front of the cliff, something appeared in the sensing range of his spiritual network, shuttled through the clouds, and flew towards this side quickly flew over.

Soon Leo saw seven or eight thin monsters that looked like skeletons, with a few long horns on their heads, and a pair of bat wings behind them, coming out of the clouds and flying towards Leo and the others.

If there was no reminder from Theredor, Leo might have already made a move in the face of these menacing ugly monsters, but now even if he instinctively wanted to do it, he was still able to calmly control his impulse. The monster flew in front of him, observed around him for a while, then grabbed his arm from left to right, took him into the air, and flew towards the royal city together with Seledor who was also caught in the air.

The flying speed of these monsters is very fast, although Leo always has a feeling that these monsters want to throw himself and Seledor from the air, but there is a force that restrains the behavior of these monsters, making them always carry He and Theredore flew smoothly.

Soon they came to the edge of the royal city. The buildings in the entire royal city were taller than Leo expected, and it felt like a city built by giants.

These monsters seem to be very afraid of the royal city. Not only did they not dare to approach the royal city, they even dared not fly higher than the royal city. After they flew to a platform and cliff that broke in the middle of the outer city wall of the royal city, they flew the thunder in a relatively safe mid-air. Ou and Theredore threw it directly, and then flew away in a hurry as if fleeing.

Leo stood up from the ground and looked around. This is a street square, and there are three streets around it leading to the city. Whether it is on the square or on the street, there are a lot of signs of destruction, and the ground is also covered with The corpses of knights in armor, each corpse is covered with scars, and some even have a few weapons inserted, but the strange thing is that all the armors of all knights are empty, as if the two sides in the battle are armored men controlled by air .

But Leo quickly lost this idea, because judging from the large amount of dried blood remaining on the ground, these empty armors were originally real people, but after their deaths, the corpses were covered with some kind of blood. The method is gone.

Leo also thought about whether these people would be refined into soul crystals by a method similar to the soul bonfire, but even if they were refined into soul crystals, there should be a lot of ashes left on the ground, which is not as empty as it is now. Nothing.

"It really is so, it really is so." Seledor, who also got up from the ground at this time, looked at the messy battlefield scene in front of him, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Do you know what's going on?" Leo asked curiously.

"Well." Seredore nodded, and said: "I heard that knight said that after the departure of the gods, the kingship composed of the descendants of the gods and the religious power composed of the gods began to oppose each other, and the gods imprisoned the princess and the prince. The descendants of the gods hunted down the priest and the chief priest, and finally the battle between the two sides turned from the dark to the light, and finally triggered a destructive war, and this city of the gods perished in this war."

Leo stopped Seredore's words, and didn't feel any historical solemnity. On the contrary, he felt a little confused about the so-called gods of this city, because no matter how you look at it, the gods who built this city don't seem to be the kind of people who are far away from the city. They are the gods of the crowd, but live with ordinary people. They are not so much gods as rulers like kings.
