The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Ghost!" Leo muttered in a low voice when he saw the scene in front of him through his spiritual vision.

I saw that in the ruins of the temple, there were dozens of ghosts of elves gathered there. They did not appear in the form of monsters like the daytime demon spirits that Leo had seen before. They have lost the form of elves, and they seem to have maintained their sanity in life. At this moment, they are sitting together, listening to what the female elf ghost in the middle is saying.

Although this was the first time for Leo to see elves, the characteristics of the elves' bodies were very recognizable, but even though Leo could see these elf ghosts, he couldn't hear their conversations.

With curiosity, Leo quickly moved to the top of a ruined house closer to the temple, but although his movements were very careful, he still made a little noise, which might not be easy to detect in other places. I heard it, but in such an environment, the sound was particularly loud. All the elves and ghosts in the temple were alarmed for a moment. They stood up from the ground and turned their heads to look at Leo.

Being watched by the icy eyes of countless ghosts, Leo felt an inexplicable pressure, but this pressure had little effect on him. After all, this kind of pressure was much stronger than those Omega-level advanced life forms he had come into contact with. The pressure formed by the body is like a breeze on the face.

Now that he had been discovered, Leo didn't hide anymore. He jumped off the roof, walked into the temple, and came to the female elf soul who was obviously the leader. He used the elf etiquette and elf language that Geralt had taught him. , said to the female elf ghost: "Hello, wise man of the immortal species."

Hearing Leo's address and etiquette, the elf souls around couldn't help laughing, and the female elf soul in front of him also smiled and said a word, but seemed to know that Leo couldn't hear her voice, and used some kind of The method oscillates the surrounding energy to form a sound frequency, saying: "Human, who taught you your etiquette, does the person who taught you etiquette want to use this method to make us laugh to death?"

Hearing what the female elf ghost said, how could Leo not know that he was either tricked by Geralt, or that Geralt was tricked by someone who taught him elf etiquette, but thinking carefully about the two possibilities should be The latter are mostly.

The female elf ghost raised her hand to signal to the surrounding elf ghosts, and said, "Since there are guests coming, you should all leave! This is the end of today's lesson."

All the elf ghosts stood up one after another, bowed to the female elf ghost, and then gradually disappeared, and even the spirit vision could not find them.

"Aren't you afraid?" the female elf ghost asked Leo.

"Don't be afraid!" Leo said calmly.

"Why?" the female elf ghost asked.

"First, in this case, it's useless to be afraid." Leo said truthfully, "Second, I don't need to be afraid, because I won't be hurt."

The female elf ghost looked up and down Leo, who was covered in rags and was very embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You seem very confident?"

"Yes, I am very confident." Leo said without any modesty.

When Leo was talking, he felt a power similar to the spiritual net sweeping over him, and then he heard the female elf ghost say: "Yes! You are indeed qualified to be confident. Based on your strength, we It's hard to hurt you, just as you can't hurt us."

Leo hesitated a little when he heard the female elf's words, and asked in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, you should all be alive, right?"

"Alive?" The female elf ghost hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe!" She said to Leo: "I am Aisris, the high priest of the goddess Melitelli, I am very happy to meet you. You, human."

"Stranger Leo Dodd, nice to meet you, Your Excellency the Priestess." Leo also responded, then hesitated a little, and said, "Are you the God-favored Aceris?"

"You know me?" Aceris looked at Leo in surprise.

"I've read some books that record your deeds." Leo replied calmly.

Among the various records of the elven kingdom provided by Fringilla, Leo has found the records about Aisris more than once, and in those records, it is mentioned that Aisris is Merry. The darling of the goddess Telly, when humans attacked the elven kingdom, there were still many people who agreed to let Aisris go.

It's just that before the war started, Aisris and her loyal subordinates suddenly disappeared, and Meritelli's temple fell to the ground along with the buildings of other elves.

"You don't seem to hate me?" Leo suddenly remembered the unusual scene just now, and asked in a deep voice: "Why? The kingdom of elves is destroyed by humans. The elves in Toussaint have been killed, and they are also human beings. Do it, and I'm a human, why don't you hate me?"

"It's very simple, you didn't do those things, why should I hate you." Aisris responded casually, "And I have lived the goddess' oracle beforehand, and I know what the outcome of the elf kingdom will be. I have already persuaded the Elf King, but in the end..." She paused for a while, and instead of continuing, she changed the subject and said, "Can you tell me what's going on in the outside world now? ?”

"sure."

"Wait a minute!" Leo was about to speak, but was stopped by Aisris raising his hand, and then saw the female elf ghost reach out and grab Leo's arm, saying, "Don't resist."

As the voice fell, Leo felt that he was drawn by a force as if he had entered the portal, and soon the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He was no longer in the ruins of the underground elves, but standing In a temple, the inside of the temple was completely illuminated by the flames in the brazier, and when he turned his head to look outside, he couldn't see any light, as if he was shrouded in endless darkness.

At this moment, Leo felt that the supernatural power in his body had also changed. The imprints of the gods of the Vinylon world had been completely sealed, but the power of those outer gods had been completely unsealed, and the spiritual power had become even more incomparable. Be active, just like being in space.

"The subspace world!" An answer immediately appeared in Leo's mind, but he shook his head again, thinking to himself: "It's an incomplete subspace debris world!"

Leo can already confirm that the place where this temple is located is a world of subspace fragments similar to Yamu Island, but the difference from Yamu Island is that it is quite different in terms of world level. After all, Yamu Island It already has its own world power, capable of suppressing and repelling foreign gods like corpse collectors, but this world of warp space fragments obviously does not have this effect.

At this time, Leo looked at the surrounding temple again, and he quickly found some things that should not belong here are very neatly arranged on the side of the temple wall. These things are very familiar to Leo, they It is the dormant capsule used for interstellar travel.

At this moment, those elves that were supposed to be ghosts have all turned into entities, and all of them lie down in the dormant cabin, skillfully operating the control panel on the dormant cabin, and entering a state of deep dormancy.

"You don't seem to be surprised by what happened in front of you. Have you experienced it before?" Aisris, who had already transformed from a ghost state, stood beside Leo, looking at Leo's face with some doubts. With an expression on his face, he said, "Have you seen these sleeping coffins before?"

"Is this thing called the Coffin of Sleep?" Leo asked back.

Esrith glanced at Leo meaningfully, and said, "Yes, this thing is called the Coffin of Sleep. It is a sacred object bestowed by the goddess to enable us to survive."

As she spoke, Aisris walked to the temple, in front of the statue of the Trinity of Goddess Melitelli, worshiped it very respectfully, then stood up, sat on the chair in front of the statue, and looked at Leo Asked: "Now Mr. Leo Dodd, can you tell me how the outside world is doing now? If I am satisfied, I can give you a small gift before you leave."

When Aisris sat on the chair in front of the statue, Leo immediately felt that the life form of the other party seemed to have undergone a leap-forward change, from a life form that was only equivalent to a fourth-level psychic to a The life form of a seventh-level psyker has greatly suppressed Leo's life level. If Leo didn't have the marks of various gods in his body, he might have been completely affected by the other party now.

Moreover, Leo also found that he should not have traveled directly to this subspace plane world directly, but entered this world in a nearly soul-like way like the elves just now, just because this temple contains special The strength makes him look more like an entity.

The reason why Leo is so sure of his current state of soul or mental body is because he doesn't feel any blood power from his body.

Although Leo didn't know how the other party did this, he didn't worry too much. He had a lot of hole cards. Even if the other party had malicious intentions, he could still turn the tables, so when the other party asked him, he seemed very relaxed and walked away. When he got to the side, he also sat on a chair and said, "As you wish."

Afterwards, Leo carefully talked about the history of the continental countries he had learned from Regal. It was strange that Aisris didn't ask about the current situation of the elves, nor did he ask about Toussaint. On the contrary, she was very interested in the events that happened on Shaned Island, and asked repeatedly several times, until she emptied all the contents of Leo's stomach before she let go.

"Can you tell me something about your world?" At this moment, Aisris asked again suddenly.

Leo didn't seem flustered when his background was revealed in one word. In fact, he knew very well that the other party had already known his origin the moment he brought him here. It is as eye-catching as a lamp in the dark night.

However, he didn't respond to Aisris, but was silent for a while, and said: "I have always advocated equal value exchange. If you want to know these things, you have to pay something of equal value."

"Then what do you want? Money, power or power?" Aisris asked in a deep voice.

Leo shook his head and said, "There is only one thing I want, and that is knowledge."

As he spoke, he used his psionic energy to quickly write a series of words in the air. These words were ancient elven words that he hadn't figured out the meaning of yet.

Seeing that Leo was so proficient in writing the ancient elven characters, Aisris couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face, and the eyes that looked at Leo became a little excited.

Before, the reason why Aisris would suddenly lead her clergy back to the ruins and tell about the past of the Elven Kingdom in the ruins was not just to restore some memories of the same race who had been sleeping in the coffin of sleep for a long time, but also Mostly because she obtained an oracle from the goddess, which reminded her that she would meet someone who could get him out of his current predicament.

So when she saw Leo, she didn't show any hostility, and she brought Leo into this temple that shouldn't allow humans to enter.

It's just that even though she obtained the oracle, she still had doubts about whether Leo was the person mentioned in the oracle. It wasn't until Leo wrote the ancient elf text that she was completely sure that Leo was that person.

Because the key that can help them get out of their current predicament lies in this ancient elf script, and although she understands this script, she doesn't understand the portals arranged in this script, so the damaged portals are always broken, so they Trapped here for so many years, fortunately, the Goddess had mercy, so they were able to survive the Art Examination in the Coffin of Sleep.

It's just that the side effects of long-term use of the Coffin of Sleep have also appeared. Many elves have begun to forget the past. If they don't leave here and continue to use the Coffin of Sleep, everyone may lose their past memories.

"I can teach you this kind of writing, but I need to change one condition." Aisris said quickly after making a decision.

"What conditions?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

Aisris stood up and motioned for Leo to come with her, then led Leo to a smaller room at the back of the temple, pointed to the damaged magic circle on the walls around the room, and said, "My condition is You fix them."

The moment she saw the magic circle, Leo couldn't help being stunned again, because not only did she see traces of the magic circle of the portal that she had learned before, but she even saw the word Turing on it. It is obvious that the person who arranged this magic circle was not only proficient in the portal, but also had a deep knowledge of Turing's root, almost no worse than the tower wizard.
