Chapter 218 The bow area
Leo didn't deliberately ask Sylvia about the people he knew and his friends, but when he was preparing to pack, Sylvia said a little bit.
For example, Dr. Nelson and Jason have already accepted the original transaction. Nelson relied on his family background and the reputation of his medical practice in recent years to become a member of the Parliament of Port Sète and married Catherine Nightingale.
Got married.
Jason is also married. He is married to the proprietress of a tavern in the dock area. He is in charge of the warehouse in the dock area. He has become the leader of the dock porters' union and is considered a small powerful figure in the Port of Sète.
With the support of Nelson and Jason, Catherine opened a nursing school and became a member of the civilian population, specializing in teaching women various nursing knowledge and providing medical services to poor civilians, because she often carried a lantern at night, inspected the wards, and took care of
The patient gradually stopped calling her by her name and instead called her the Lady with the Lamp.
After Old Rembrandt was burned down at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, he left the city of Milia and went to the southern continent of Moissan. In the next two years, he discovered and excavated the legendary ancient city of Rumbel, proving that Asia
The existence of the ancient civilization recorded in the ancient scrolls has also rewritten the origin of mankind. Therefore, he is respected as a master all over the world, and his reputation is unparalleled.
In addition to these four people who can be regarded as friends, Sylvia also mentioned Emily, who has a "blood" relationship with Leo, but did not say much, just saying that Emily is now in the Witch
The group accepts training from other witches.
Although Emily's character has changed, the idea of revenge for her family has not disappeared. Now that the murderer of the murder has appeared in Miria City again, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity to find the murderer. However, she now
The witch training she received was at a critical moment and she couldn't escape, so she asked Sylvia for help and asked Sylvia's men to secretly help her investigate the murderer.
However, judging from the current situation, Sylvia's men should have investigated something related to the murderer. Unfortunately, the murderer noticed it and became the murderer's sacrifice.
Different from the situation when he saw the murder scene back then, Leo didn't need to rush to treat anyone, so he was able to carefully search every detail of the murder through the mental network, which also allowed him to discover the things that had been accidentally discovered before.
Some of the contents ignored in the film also seem to have discovered the true circumstances of this murder case.
In the past, Leo thought that the murderer who committed such a murder was either a believer of an evil god or some evil wizard. But now he is checking the scene again. Judging from some clues found, the identity of the murderer is far from what he had previously thought.
As simple as you think, this murderer is probably a being called a god.
Leo's understanding of the Ascended Gods did not come from books in the world of Velen, but from information about the abandoned city in the dream world.
In the dream world's exploration of the abandoned city, the royal city has always been the center of exploration. Whether it is the big library that Leo visited, or the Ash Plains where most people enter in the dream world, etc., in the eyes of people in the dream world, they are all
The royal city serves as the center.
The reason why people in the dream world think so is because the other areas of the ruined city are all made up of the fragments of different destroyed worlds. You can see the remaining ruins of those destroyed worlds there, except for the royal city from beginning to end.
There is only one building in each, an urban building built around towering trees.
Because Leo has never been to the Royal City, he does not know the specific image of the Royal City, but through what is written in the information, he knows that except for Anor Londo at the top, which is known as the residence of the gods, the branches, trunks, and bottom of the tree
There are even different cities in the depths of the tree roots, and the climbers are the only mysterious beings with clear minds and wise thoughts in the blasphemous abyss of the tree roots.
No one can tell clearly what the Ascended God is, and there are different opinions on the information. Some people think that they are some filthy souls who try to become gods, while others think that they are some fallen gods who have lost their glory. In addition, his appearance is also related to his existence.
There is also no fixed answer. Everyone who sees the person who ascends to the gods will describe a different appearance. Sometimes it is a gust of wind, sometimes it is a leaf, sometimes it is a reflection in a mirror, etc.
Although the ascension to the gods is a mystery as a whole, there is one thing that everyone who has seen the ascension to the gods agrees on, and that is that the purpose of the ascension to the gods is to become a god.
There are many ways for people to become gods recorded in the data, but all of them are only effective for those who have become gods. As for other people who use this method, they will only become lunatics who have lost any sense. Among the methods that have been recorded,
The most common and well-documented method is to create fear. The person who ascends to the gods can gain some kind of power from fear, and then promote the evolution of his bloodline and become a new god.
The reason why this method can be recorded in detail in the data of the dream world is because the former First Chief captured an ascendant when he entered the blasphemous abyss of the royal city, and brought him back to the dream world through some method.
Torture him.
In the end, before the ascension to the gods died from the backlash of the dream world, a large amount of information about the royal city, the blasphemous abyss, and the magical species of the ascension to the gods was obtained.
It is precisely because of this that Leo, who had read this information, was able to find some special runes used by the Ascendants to transform the power of fear at the scene of the murder just now.
What makes Leo a little confused is that these runes have been tested by wizards in the dream world, and they are of no use. He has also tried one or two of them and got the same result, but just now he was able to use these runes.
I felt some weak spiritual energy fluctuations, and it was obvious that these runes had had an effect.
This situation made Leo couldn't help but think that the three different worlds of Velen World, Dream World and Abandoned City might have different effects due to different environments, and the same runes, root words and magic circles would produce different effects.
The new discovery allowed Leo to put aside the matter of the Ring of Plague for the time being, and then investigate again after confirming the discovery.
Leo quickly left the fish market and walked towards the ruins nearest to the fish market. There were many ruins in Miria City. Some places were difficult to clean and were not suitable for habitation, so there were no refugees setting up tents or simple buildings there.
Houses and Chuantou District are such an urban area.
The Chuanwou area was not originally named this way. However, after several expansions, the shape of the entire city gradually became the same as that of a ship's prow, hence the strange name.
The first people to live here were some masons responsible for building the city and their families. However, later the area around the Chuanwou area became part of the administrative area of Milia City, and the residents of the Chuanwou area gradually transformed into Milia City.
of civil servants.
When the French Empire's airships bombed the entire city, in order to paralyze the city's basic administrative functions in a short period of time, the office buildings of various departments in the administrative district and the civil servants' urban areas were important targets, so the bow area was among the first round of bombings by the airships.
It has become a ruin.
Because the war was too sudden and the fighting was too fierce, all the residents of the Chuanwou District died here. You must know that there were as many as 200,000 people living here at that time, and most of the relatives, friends and family members of these deceased people also died later.
Those who died in several rounds of bombings, but the living people are thinking about survival issues every day, and do not have the mood or time to clean up the ruins and collect the bodies of the deceased, so the bow area has become the largest ruins in Miria City.
One of the tombs.
When the scavengers first formed, there were people who wanted to find some valuable things among the ruins of nearby urban areas such as Chuantou District. After all, the people who lived here in the past were the families of civil servants in the city, and their assets were limited.
Fei, you should be able to find some good stuff.
But a series of strange events happened afterwards, making this urban area a taboo-like place. For example, people who enter here will have hallucinations. In the hallucinations, the bow area is still intact, and the dead people are still there, but when
After the hallucination ends, the person will be cursed and his body will gradually weaken and eventually die.
In addition, the most bizarre thing that has ever happened is that a group of up to 300 scavengers entered the bow area, preparing to clean up the ruins and look for valuable things. Although they did not believe the rumors about ghosts and curses, they
They didn't dare to enter the ruins filled with dead bodies underground at night, so they chose to enter during the day. But not long after they entered, in full view of everyone, everyone suddenly went crazy and attacked each other, until the last person fell in a pool of blood.
No one left the bow area again.
It is precisely because of these weird things that this place has become a restricted area. No one dares to approach here, and no one dares to enter here at night.
Of course, the dangers in the Chuanwou District are only for ordinary people. For people living in the dark world, the Chuanwou District has become a very good living area. For unknown reasons, some locations in this urban area
A natural psychic magnetic field is produced. For people with psychic abilities, staying in this environment for a long time can be beneficial to the growth of their own psychic abilities.
However, this environment is not very helpful for people like Leo and Blood Wizards who have reached a high level of spiritual power.
The reason why Leo came to the ruins in the bow area was not only because there were no people here, but also because this special psychic magnetic field could help him more easily experiment with some Turing roots and magic runes.
Wait for strength.
However, Leo's arrival will inevitably alarm some people from the dark world who have been entrenched here for a long time and have already regarded this place as their own territory.
The moment he entered the ruins, seven or eight more eyes fell on him, and they continued to follow him all the way. One or two of these eyes were just inspection eyes, and the other eyes were
They were all full of malice, and they obviously regarded Leo as their prey.
Because Leo has restrained all his strength, from the appearance point of view, he is just an ordinary person with a strong body. In addition, his clothes are the standard clothes of a scavenger, so at first glance, everyone will think of him as a bold loner.
Scavengers.
As time goes by, the scavengers gradually form groups, occupying ruined areas. The overall power is also very impressive. Some are even able to compete with well-equipped gangs, so that those lone travelers who are unwilling to join the scavenger groups become
It is becoming increasingly difficult to survive, so many solo travelers have set their sights on several restricted areas in the city.
Ruins like the bow area, where there are a lot of good things, are naturally the first choice for these solo travelers. Some of them are lucky enough to not break into those special psychic magnetic fields, are not affected, and return from the ruins with a lot of things. But more
The lone travelers never came out after entering the ruins. These people either died in those special areas, or were killed by the people from the dark world living in the special areas, so when Leo entered this city
At that time, all the monitors thought about was that another lone traveler who did not know whether to live or die had arrived.
While these monitors were observing Leo, Leo was also observing these monitors through the spiritual network.
Among these monitors, the two who only had a scrutinizing gaze and did not show any malice had faint psychic fluctuations on their bodies, and it could be judged from their attire and some iconic items that these two
The person should be from the Night Watch organization.
Therefore, these two monitors have been regarded as guiding stones by Leo, and he has cast a mana mark magic to leave a mark on them through the spiritual network. After testing those magic runes, he will use these two
He found the mark on the person's body and found the secret place of the Night Watch in Miria City. Then, through the Night Watch organization, he found Ljungberg of the Freedom Front and pulled Ljungberg into the search for the Ring of Plague.
After all, Ljungberg Weai, who has regarded Milia City as his own territory, is absolutely unwilling to see the Ring of Plague used in this ruined city, so in Leo's opinion, persuasion should not be difficult.
In addition, the malice leaked from the sight of those monitors was so obvious that it could be felt without too much attention. Leo naturally had no intention of letting them go, but he was not prepared to kill them directly, because he still had
We need to know some useful information from these monitors, such as the current situation of the underground church in Miria City.
Although there has been no communication, Leo and the Blood Wizard both believe that the Ring of Plague is the best missionary artifact, and judging from the current situation in Miria City, the shady underground church should be the most hopeful.
The forces of the Ring of Plague.
The underground church Leo is talking about here is not the ancient church of gods such as Mother Maya and Observer Mobison that occupy a certain urban area, but the churches of evil gods that are regarded as evil gods by the orthodox church.
Although these evil god churches cannot preach in public like those ancient god churches, due to the poor environment and despair in Miria City, their churches can successfully spread among the huge refugee population in the city.
