Leo ignored Sean's joke that deliberately made people relax their vigilance, but looked at Sean and High Priest Denis very seriously, and said: "I have something to ask you about something related to everyone's safety.
What's going on here? How dangerous is it?"
The main reason why Leo asked this question was because the powerful mysterious force on the other side made him feel terrified.
Although he did not feel any threat from that power for the time being, and that power was only a spiritual network that rejected him, he was not sure if everyone would encounter something as mysterious as the Black Forest after they passed by.
things, so he hopes to collect as much useful information as possible so that he can prepare in advance.
"I'm not very clear about things over there. I just found this broken bridge as a landmark based on the notes of my ancestors. I know that there is an altar opposite that requires divine blood to be opened. That altar was where King Yasin created divine power.
The place where the warrior is, is also where the member of the White Rose family was sacrificed, and the Poseidon Scepter was left there." When talking about business, Sean became serious and explained what he knew, and then
Then he looked at the High Priest Deni next to him and said: "The Aknaya Church has occupied this place for more than ten years. There are countless Nilgardian books and antiquities collected here. They should be very familiar with the situation here.
learn."
"I've never been here before." As soon as Sean finished speaking, High Priest Deni immediately responded.
This response stunned Sean, and also made Leo a little confused. After all, the Aknaya Church has been exploring this underground city for so long. It is impossible to think that he has not been to this broken bridge, not to mention that it is so far away from the experiment.
The chamber area is not very far, so it should be easy to explore here as long as you spend a little time.
"Mr. Dodd, do you believe what High Priest Deni said?" Sean said to Leo with a suspicion of provocation.
However, after pondering for a while, Leo gave an answer that surprised Sean again, saying: "I believe, I believe that High Priest Deni has really never been here."
"Why do you believe it?" Sean asked puzzledly.
"Because there is no need for him to lie at this time." Leo simply answered, but this answer was purely nonsense. What really convinced him that High Priest Deni was not lying was his many years of interrogation experience and twenty points.
Spiritual perception enhanced by spiritual base value.
The trust shown by Leo also gained another reward, which is the favor of High Priest Deni. Although this favor is not good enough for the two to become friends, it can make the two of them more capable in the following adventures.
Tacit cooperation.
Although Leo has expressed his belief in what High Priest Deni said, High Priest Deni still chose to give some explanations, saying: "We have obtained a large amount of data from other cities, and it will take a long time just to analyze and interpret that data.
Time and a lot of people are running out, and the underground city cannot be known to the outside world, so there are not many people involved. There is no information related to this place in the Nergard books we have analyzed, only other urban areas
There are some data fragments, so instead of wasting a lot of manpower and material resources on exploring unknown areas, it is more effective to focus on known places and carry out purposeful excavations.”
Leo frowned and said, "So, no one knows what the situation is over there?"
"No, there is one thing that may help us." High Priest Deni hesitated and said: "According to a record of sacrifices written by Nilgaard at that time, any altar must have
The two altar guards, they are the creations of the patron saint, possess immortal life and powerful power, and are the incarnation of steel."
"What nonsense is this?" Sean looked confused, completely interpreting this as a bedside chat to scare the child.
On the contrary, Leo had a thoughtful look on his face. Creation, immortality, powerful power, and the incarnation of steel reminded him of those battle robots of the Earth Federation.
At this moment, Leo's thoughtful expression was not hidden, and both Sean and High Priest Deni noticed it.
Sean, who was curious, pretended to be intimate, came forward and asked: "Brother Leo, do you know something?"
"Don't call me brother. I'm definitely not older than you, and our relationship is not as close as calling each other brothers. Let's call each other according to the etiquette we should have! Mr. Sean." Leo was not in the mood to argue with this.
He made friends with more than a dozen scheming guys, so he almost blocked Sean's hand, and then he didn't ask anything else, but walked between Jason and the others, and they cleaned the battlefield together.
High Priest Deni, who was born in Cage City, has been accustomed to finding useful things from corpses since he was a child. Even though his identity over the years has prevented him from picking up corpses, this habit that goes deep into the bone still exists, so when he sees
Leo had nothing more to ask, so he took the initiative to collect the items from the corpse.
Sean maintains his own identity, and of course he is unwilling to do something that is regarded as a low-level thing, not to mention that these corpses are all his men, but everyone else is working here, and he is sitting there alone, which makes him feel isolated.
It felt like, in the end, he had to start cleaning the battlefield for the first time.
Soon, everything that could be used on the corpse had been cleared out and piled together by category.
Under Leo's arrangement, all the medicines were given to Catherine and Nelson, and the others only carried some medicine for injuries.
Weapons such as repeating crossbows were provided to everyone. Nelson's military uniform repeating crossbow was also replaced by a better one. In addition, each person also got one of short knives and other melee weapons.
As for Sean's ammunition-consuming repeating gun, it was confiscated despite the ineffective opposition and replaced with a mechanical repeating crossbow, and those precious special bullets were taken away by Leo.
In addition, some heavy objects such as ropes and rollers used for climbing were given to Jason and Leo, and a bundle of other ropes was placed on each person in case of emergency.
After making these preparations, Leo and others came to the broken bridge. The ropes they had built before were still there, but the rollers that assisted in crossing the bridge had fallen off because they were not tied securely or because of the psychic wave just now.
Into the abyss below.
The man who had crawled to the opposite side before was now gone. Perhaps the psychic wave just now had been transmitted to the opposite side and had an impact on the people there. Even if they did not die on the spot, they would probably be unconscious.
Leo stretched out his hand and tugged on the rope next to him, feeling the fixing of the rope. Then he put his equipment aside and went into battle as lightly as possible, holding only a few necessary tools for building the ropeway.
Under his watchful eyes, he climbed up the rope.
For Leo, climbing such a rope is as easy as eating and drinking. If it weren't for the fear of being too shocking, he could even cross the fifty-meter rope bridge in just a few seconds.
However, fortunately, Leo did not make any dangerous and quick moves to climb the rope, because when he climbed to the middle of the rope, which was the edge of the area shrouded by the mysterious power, he felt a chill suddenly coming over him.
Scanned over the body.
This chill has no effect on him, but for those who are not mentally prepared, or who are in poor physical condition, it may temporarily cause abnormal reactions such as numbness and stiffness in his hands and feet. While in mid-air, people can only
When you rely on your hands and feet to stabilize your body, numbness in your hands and feet means you can't hold on to the rope, which means you will fall into the abyss.
Leo made a note of this location, and when the roller ropeway was built on the opposite side and pulled others over, he reminded them to be careful.
The chill quickly disappeared, and Leo's body no longer felt any other discomfort. He accelerated his crawling speed and soon reached the opposite side.
After getting off the rope, Leo immediately checked the surrounding situation.
On the Broken Bridge side, there is also a square, surrounded by shrines and stone pillars. The only difference is that everything here is still intact, even the statue in the center of the square is intact.
In addition, there is no passage on the edge of the square facing the broken bridge. Instead, there is a bronze door about five meters high and four meters wide. Due to years of moisture corrosion, the surface of this bronze door has been stained with rust. It has a unique smell.
The smell of copper can even be clearly smelled at the broken bridge on the square side.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about the surrounding scene, but Leo became particularly alert at this moment, and pulled out the king and a battle ax from his waist.
In fact, at this time, it is more appropriate to use the flintlock hand cannon. Unfortunately, the flintlock handcannon is too heavy. In order not to increase the burden on the rope, he can only put it in other equipment that needs to be transported separately, so that it can only be used now.
This is a psychic weapon that the king has not yet completely mastered.
Leo, who was holding a gun in one hand and an ax in the other, swept his gaze around. The reason why he became so alert was entirely because there was one thing missing on the Broken Bridge, and that was the Inger who had come here before.
's corpse.
"Leo, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps because there was no movement after Leo passed by, the people here started to get a little anxious, and Jason's voice of inquiry immediately sounded in this empty place.
"There are some small problems here. Let's wait until I solve them." Leo replied loudly, and then tried to unfold the mental network.
However, things went as he expected. His mental network was only stirred under his scalp and there was no way to send it out of the body.
"An unknown high-energy force field was discovered. Preliminary analysis shows that it has repulsive properties and cannot be absorbed. It can be used to supplement psychic energy."
After losing a better spiritual network, Leo could only choose to turn on his spiritual vision, and the moment he turned on his spiritual vision, he immediately gained something.
Night vision, far vision and other visual abilities allow him to easily see the details of things around him. What really makes him gain the most is that he can see the surrounding spiritual energy and objects with spiritual energy attached to it.
Leo's eyes fell directly on the sculpture in the center of the square. Under the influence of his psychic vision skills, this statue, which was obviously just carved from stone, exuded bursts of strong psychic energy.
Reminiscent of the fact that High Priest Deni just mentioned that there would be creations of patron saints around the altars of the Nilgardians, responsible for guarding the safety of the altars. Coupled with the disappearance of the Inges just now, and the spiritual energy on the statues now, Lei
Ou had every reason to place suspicion on this seemingly harmless stone statue.
"Bang!" Leo didn't even think about getting close to the statue. He directly lifted the king and aimed a shot at the statue's head.
The special bullet enhanced by a psychic weapon instantly hit the statue's head, and the exploding shrapnel shattered its head.
However, the expected situation did not occur, and the statue did not respond at all to the attack, which made Leo, who was already well prepared, feel a little confused.
At this moment, the statue without its head jumped up from the base in an instant, its chest split open up and down to form a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and it rushed towards Leo.
Although the attack was a few seconds later than expected, it did not have any impact on Leo. Almost as soon as the statue jumped up, Leo had already reacted, instantly raised his gun, and fired at the four statues.
Four shots broke off the limbs, leaving only a body that flew a short distance through the air and fell heavily to the ground.
When he launched the attack just now, Leo deliberately did not aim his gun at the torso of the statue. He needed to study what it was, so he knocked off the limbs, making it lose the ability to move, and then slowly crafted it.
The statue with only the torso left has not lost its spiritual energy as a driving force. It is just because the bullet fragments that penetrated the torso are attached with a large amount of weak spiritual energy, which produces an effect similar to radio wave interference, causing the torso of the stone sculpture to be entangled.
The psychic energy became very chaotic and disordered, directly causing the torso to twitch like a real person.
As for the broken limbs, because they were separated from the torso as the core of psychic energy, they returned to the appearance of ordinary stones, fell to the ground, and broke into several pieces.
"Leo, what's going on over there?" Jason and the others immediately asked loudly and worriedly when they heard gunshots coming from the other side.
"It's okay, the little trouble has been solved!" Leo responded loudly, ejected the cartridge case from the King, reloaded five rounds of ammunition, then looked around, and after finding no other dangerous objects around, he
We walked straight to the base of the statue.
There was a loose stone slab on the base, and some blood could be seen spilling from the gap in the stone slab.
Leo stretched out his hand to lift the stone slab, and saw that the Yingge man who had not been seen before was stuffed into the hollow of the base. The whole person had been completely twisted and deformed due to the squeeze of external forces, and blood was squeezed from the body.
It came out and flowed into special conveying channels through some holes at the bottom of the base cavity. I don’t know where it went in the end, but one thing is for sure, this is definitely not a good thing.
After finding no other useful clues on the base of the statue, Leo returned to the broken bridge, hung the roller he brought over on the rope, connected it to a rope used to pull the roller, and checked the rope again.
Chapter completed!
