Chapter 54: Three Hundred Years of People
After hearing what Sean said, and looking at the thousands of skeletons in the surrounding hives, it is not difficult to see from the size of some of the skeletons that many of them are underage children. This made the presence of Catherine, who is also a descendant of slaves,
Everyone, including High Priest Denis, instantly felt that the French royal family's hatred for those slaves was not unreasonable.
However, this feeling of emotion did not last long, as everyone's attention was already attracted by other things on the platform.
On this platform, there was only one stone chair that was integrated with the platform. Sitting on the chair was a man wearing ancient noble clothes. In one hand, this man was holding a bone weight with a huge sapphire inlaid on the top.
With a staff, one hand held an insect egg that was so transparent that you could see the reptile larvae inside. Moreover, this man's appearance turned out to be very similar to Nelson.
"Ocean Scepter!"
"Brood hatchling!"
Almost at the same time, High Priest Sean and Deni called out two different names.
After everyone heard these two names, their eyes couldn't help but fall on the objects matching these two names. On the contrary, Leo's eyes were completely focused on the person sitting on the chair.
At this time, both Sean and High Priest Deni were attracted by the items they dreamed of. They couldn't help but stepped forward, trying to reach out and pick up the scepter and insect eggs held by the man on the seat. Others
They all looked at them enviously and seemed to think that this matter was almost over.
But at this moment, Leo suddenly took off the flintlock hand cannon from his back, and before anyone realized what was going on, he shot the man on the seat in the head.
The flames erupting from the muzzle of the hand cannon were mixed with a steel ball that was slightly twisted in the rapid flight, and hit the forehead of the man on the seat. It was about to hit the man's head and smash it into pieces.
But a surprising scene appeared. The rapidly flying steel ball instantly stopped a few centimeters in front of the man's forehead, and was fixed in the air by an invisible force. The heat on the surface of the bullet caused some refraction of light, causing the
The other person's forehead seemed to be shaking slightly.
Whether it was the loud sound of the flintlock hand cannon or the magical scene in front of them, everyone present was shocked and felt that something was wrong, especially Sean and High Priest Deni, who were closest to the person on the seat.
He forgot to reach out for the thing he dreamed of, but quickly retreated behind and beside Leo.
"I'm curious, how do you know I'm still alive?" Just when everyone was still confused about what happened just now, the man on the seat that was regarded as a corpse suddenly opened his eyes and spoke with
He spoke to Leo in a strange-sounding English language.
"It's nothing. I just saw a corpse sitting here for hundreds of years. It still looks like a normal person. It felt a little strange, so I fired a shot and tried it. Unexpectedly, the effect was pretty good." Leo put an ammunition
He inserted the flintlock hand cannon to replenish the consumption of the previous shot, shrugged and said seemingly casually.
Although Leo acted very relaxed, he was actually very nervous inside.
When he entered the hive, he didn't feel anything unusual, and the mental network didn't sense anything wrong.
But when he stood on the platform, or when Nelson and Catherine behind him stepped onto the platform, the pseudo-corpse on the chair was just an ordinary corpse to the perception of his mental network at the first moment, but the next moment there was something inside the corpse.
His spiritual energy has been enhanced to a very powerful level, and in the perception of his mental network, it is like a small nuclear fusion reactor.
At that moment, Leo was very sure that there must be something wrong with this strange corpse with no change in appearance, so without any hesitation, he shot him directly in the head.
"Oh! So that's it." The man controlled the steel ball of the flintlock hand cannon and landed in front of him. He looked at it and said, "Is this the weapon people use now? It's really a terrifying weapon."
"Who are you?" Nelson couldn't help but asked in a deep voice.
The man looked at Nelson with a friendly smile on his face and said, "I am Wilson Matthew, and I should be considered your ancestor."
"Why are you still alive? Haven't you been sacrificed? And why hasn't your appearance changed at all?" Sean, who was hiding behind Leo, couldn't help the horror in his heart and yelled out of control.
"You should be a descendant of Little William, right?" Wilson Matthew looked at Sean and said, "Not only do you look very similar to him, but your timid and greedy character is also very similar to him."
I don’t know if it was because Wilson Matthew’s friendly tone alleviated the fear and doubts in everyone’s hearts. Everyone involuntarily relaxed, and the somewhat tense and strange atmosphere around them also relaxed a lot.
However, at this moment, Leo once again raised the flintlock handgun without warning and fired five shots at Wilson. The five shots were all in different positions. The steel ball bullets were aimed at the throat, heart, lower body, and joints of the hands and feet.
Five vital points flew away.
However, the result was the same as the first shot. When all the bullets were about to approach his body, they were blocked by an energy field composed of a layer of psychic energy and hovered in the air.
"You can already use psychic energy to place a shield. You should be a psychic of level five or above." Seeing the psychic energy ripples around the bullet through his spiritual vision, Leo made an assessment of the opponent's strength in his mind.
Leo's attack again shocked everyone even more than before. They didn't expect that Leo would attack Wilson again when the atmosphere was gradually relaxing and becoming more relaxed. If it was just unknown the first time, Leo would attack Wilson again.
If you try to test the reasons, now it is equivalent to completely breaking up with each other, telling the other party clearly about your malice, without any room for return.
Obviously Wilson also did not expect that Leo would strike again, and strike so ruthlessly and decisively.
Although he was not injured and all the bullets of the attack were blocked, he was still extremely angry and the friendly expression on his face became cruel.
"Leo, you're crazy! Why are you still attacking him?" Nielsen first recovered from the shock and asked urgently.
"Why can't you attack him?" Leo knew very well that the other party was using spiritual energy to interfere with the minds of the people around him, thereby producing a hypnotic effect, but he couldn't explain it to everyone, so he asked in return, and then looked at the other people around him who had the same effect.
The person with a questioning look said, "Don't you find that your emotions and thoughts are weird?"
As he spoke, he strengthened his tone, pointed at Wilson, and said: "A dead man who has been sacrificed in legend is sitting in front of you alive, and his appearance has not changed at all. Don't you feel weird about such a strange thing? And this
Don't you think it's strange that you have such strong trust in him just by saying a few insignificant words?"
A series of questions quickly made everyone wake up from their abnormal emotions, and they also realized that their emotions and behavior just now were indeed a bit abnormal, because just now they could not help but regard Wilson as their most trusted and closest person.
He wanted to go over and help him.
Everyone who felt something was wrong stepped back a distance, and looked at Wilson with great vigilance, as if Wilson had some kind of virus that would be infected if they came even close. They all took out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands, ready at any time.
Launch an attack.
However, Wilson's face became extremely ugly, and he stared at Leo fiercely with a pair of ferocious eyes.
He could have easily obtained what he had wanted for so many years, but everything was disrupted by Leo's two attacks. This made him not feel angry after waiting for more than three hundred years.
"Do you know what you did? You lowly reptile!" Now that he had been seen through, Wilson no longer covered himself up and shouted loudly at Leo.
While roaring, a psychic shock wave similar to that of High Priest Denis rushed out of Wilson's body, and the control was very exquisite. It did not attack other people, but only went towards Leo.
Leo had already taken precautions and arranged all the spiritual nets in front of him, layer by layer, forming a spiritual shield.
However, the mental shield in front of Leo only blocked the opponent's psychic impact for two seconds. A brilliant colorful light burst out from the collision of the two invisible forces, and the mental shield was like a piece of paper.
It seemed to be torn apart.
This psychic shock wave also hit Leo's body firmly, like a battering ram, sending Leo flying away and falling on the bridge not far from the entrance.
"Damn it, what did you monster do?" Jason saw Leo being knocked away. He raised the crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger at Wilson without hesitation. After hearing a few whooshing sounds, five
Arrows floated in front of Wilson one after another, just like the steel balls before.
Jason's move seemed to be a signal, and everyone else instinctively raised their repeating crossbows to attack Wilson, but all the arrows had no effect and were fixed in the air.
"Entrance! The entrance is gone." Seeing this, Sean instinctively wanted to turn around and run away. However, when he turned around to look for the entrance he had just entered, he found that the entrance had disappeared, and the place where the entrance had been had turned into several bees.
room.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look back. After seeing the entrance disappear, the expressions on their faces became extremely gloomy. When they looked at Wilson again, their expressions were a little more panicked and fearful.
"I originally wanted to solve this matter easily, but I didn't expect that I would have to do it myself." Wilson removed all his disguises and looked at Nelson and others like a spider looking at its prey in a web. He was stunned by the expression on his face.
Stunned, his eyes fell behind everyone and looked over, and said to himself: "An interesting reptile!"
"Ahem! Damn it really hurts!" At this time, Leo's voice was like a shot in the arm, which restored everyone's low morale.
I saw Leo walking over the stone bridge. There were no injuries on his body, but his clothes were a little messy.
For some reason, he put the most powerful flintlock hand cannon on his back again, as if he was not going to use it anymore. He did not take out the king and queen from his waist, but took off the two panier weapons.
The ax is in his hand.
What he is doing now is completely in accordance with the Earth Federation's plan for dealing with psykers above level five, because for psykers who can already use psychic shields, unless they are beyond the psychic shield
Defensive cannon-level weapons or psychic weapons, otherwise it will be difficult for any long-range weapon to cause damage to a prepared psyker of level 5 or above.
However, the most bizarre thing is that the psychic shield that can withstand cannon-level weapons cannot form a strong defense against melee weapons attached with psychic energy. Therefore, according to the analysis of the Federal Academy of Psionics, using melee weapons to attack psychic weapons above level five
The player has a five percent chance of winning.
Although this five percent is very small, it is already the largest increase in winning chances for Leo now.
Leo, who walked back to the platform, motioned for everyone to disperse, and then said to Wilson, whose face turned ferocious: "What should I call you?"
"You must have been fooled, right? Reptile, didn't I introduce myself just now?" Wilson didn't mind Leo's behavior of delaying time. In his opinion, these people in front of him were prey that had been caught and could be caught at any time.
If he can handle it, he doesn't mind playing with these prey.
"No, you introduced me. Your name is Wilson Matthew, but I'm talking about another identity." Leo said, walking back and forth in front of Wilson with a tomahawk in hand.
This time, there was a hint of surprise on Wilson's face, and his look at Leo became a little strange, and he said, "Who are you?"
Leo smiled and said: "I'm just an ordinary person who likes to think about things, King Yasin!"
As soon as Leo said this, everyone was stunned, because the name he called Wilson Matthew was so unexpected. It was so unexpected that people wanted to grab Leo's collar and yell at him,
What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy?
However, Wilson's face unexpectedly showed a look of surprise, but this surprise was different from the surprise of others, as if the secret he thought he had kept well hidden was easily exposed.
Wilson's lack of denial turned Nelson and others, who were still doubting whether Leo was crazy, into stupid figures. They all looked dumbfounded, especially the faces of High Priest Denis and Catherine, whose faces were full of disbelief.
"How is it possible? How could you be King Yasin?" High Priest Deni, who has always worshiped King Yasin as a god in his heart, could not accept what was happening at all. In his mind, King Yasin was a Nilgardian.
, is a slave, not a noble of the White Rose family of the Kingdom of England.
Wilson ignored High Priest Deni's question at all. His eyes were all focused on Leo, and as if he admitted Leo's speculation in disguise, he said: "How do you know?"
"Many small clues were put together to get the answer." Naturally, Leo would not tell Wilson that all the answers were the result of his associate brain system sorting out the data and analyzing it, and the accuracy of the answer given by the associate brain system was very high.
