The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Neither Devina nor the Countess could make up their minds about the solutions Leo gave to solve the problem. The various hidden mysteries they obtained today were too many, so much that they couldn't think about problems in a normal way.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't continue to persuade them, but said that they didn't need to make a decision immediately, and they needed to go to Lake Narnia. The mother and daughter could think clearly during this time.

In addition, he also took this opportunity to ask the countess to issue an identity certificate that would allow him to travel freely in the West Green Emerald area.

For Leo's request, the countess will naturally not neglect. The certificate she issued has more authority than Leo's request, and she directly gave the status of an earl's special envoy. Not only the towns in the West Green Emerald area can pass freely, even Some special military and administrative locations can also pass through, and Leo is also given part of the power to directly use the administrative and military resources of the West Green Emerald area. This allows Leo to drive West Green Emerald officials to replace them Do things yourself.

Leo was puzzled at first by the Countess giving him more authority than required, but then the Countess ordered her subordinates to bring a pile of already sorted and seemingly dated Lake Narnia materials. Afterwards, he realized that the Countess might have misunderstood his purpose of going to Lake Narnia, and this also allowed him to determine the external force that triggered the awakening of Devena's blood from the information that had been sorted out over the years. Indeed, Lake Narnia.

In this regard, Leo did not give any further explanations, but accepted the arrangement of the Countess, and told the Countess very clearly that he went to Lake Narnia to investigate for Devina, and this approach also To a certain extent, the countess felt a little relieved.

After making the decision, Leo did not continue to stay in Qingshui Bieyuan. After telling the countess and Devena some precautions, he left the villa with the dryad Lutaxi. Leo was very dissatisfied with this vigorous approach. She still wanted to get along with Devina for two days, but she couldn't say anything. After all, both the Countess and Devina believed that Leo left immediately to learn more about Devina. In Na's situation, only she knew that Leo's original purpose was to go to Lake Narnia.

After leaving Qingshui Bieyuan, Leo and Dryad Lutaxi did not take the forest road any more, but followed the map provided by the countess to walk through three forest towns and go straight to Lake Narnia. This road is also known as the Log Road, because some of the largest logging camps in the West Green Emerald region are at the end of the road, in the native forest around Lake Narnia.

In the materials provided by the Countess, these lumber camps were also mentioned emphatically. The main reason for the special mention was that the trees in the forests where these lumber camps were located grew very fast.

In other forests a tree old enough to be felled for processing logs takes at least ten to fifteen years to complete its growth, but in the forests around Lake Narnia the same tree only takes about a year It has grown enough to be cut down.

The countess also invited many scholars from the city of learning to study this situation, but they did not find out why, but only confirmed that the anomaly in the forest came from Lake Narnia, and also confirmed that only redwoods can come from it. Lake Narnia was blessed with such growth that no other tree would be of any use, no matter how close it was planted.

Although judging from the information, the Countess has invited many authoritative scholars of the City of Academics to conduct a long-term research and investigation, but still did not come up with any useful results, but Leo still plans to drop by there. Take a look at a few lumberyards to see what's so special about the redwoods in that forest.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" On the way, the dryad Lutaxi, who had been silent since leaving the Bieyuan, suddenly asked Leo. clear.

"What's on purpose?" Leo asked while riding a horse, turning his head to look at the tree demon Lutaxi who was walking side by side with him.

The dryad Luta took a few steps forward, surpassed Leo by a body, turned to look at Leo's face, observed his expression, and said: "You can actually completely cure Devina, because you said it on purpose. Can't be cured, can it?"

Leo was silent for a while, and asked back: "Why do you think I can cure Devina?"

"Intuition, my intuition tells me that you have a way to cure Devina." The tree demon Lutaxi said truthfully.

Hearing this, Leo did not respond immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded, and admitted: "Yes, I can indeed completely cure your friend's problems, and I can even make her eyes and legs back to normal."

Seeing that Leo had admitted his guess so directly, the dryad Lutaxi didn't know what to do for a while, and stayed in place for a long time, until Leo went out for a long distance, then hurriedly He caught up and asked, "Since you can cure Devina, why not cure her?"

"Good question," Leo nodded, and asked again: "Then I ask you in turn, why should I cure her?"

The dryad Lutaxi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Leo continued: "Dewenna is your friend, but what does it have to do with me? To me, she is just a passerby. Why should I spend my energy to treat a passerby? This is very important to me. What good?"

"This..." The dryad Lutaxi looked embarrassed and said, "Aren't we partners? Since we are partners, then my friend is also yours..."

Leo interrupted the dryad Lutaxi and said, "Wait, you seem to have mistaken our identity relationship, do you really think we are partners?"

The dryad Lutaxi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, instead fell silent.

Leo said honestly: "Look! You don't think we are partners, we are only temporary collaborators at best, you are with me because of the white deer, and I am also because of the white deer. With you by your side, in fact our relationship may only be a little better than that of passers-by."

The dryad Lutaxi's face became a little ugly, and he couldn't refute Leo's words, so he could only bow his head and follow Leo silently.

After a while, she suddenly asked again: "You can really cure Devina? Didn't you lie?"

"Yes, I can really cure Devina." Leo gave an affirmative answer, but added: "It's just that this cure may be different from what you think, if you follow my method directly If I treat Devena, not only I will pay some price in the end, but Devina may also pay a heavy price, and the final result will definitely not satisfy anyone, so I simply say that it cannot be cured."

After hearing this, the dryad Lutaxi stared at Leo for a long time, and seemed to want to see whether Leo was lying from the expression on Leo's face, but Leo's expression did not provide her with any useful information, making her She also didn't know if she should believe Leo's words.

In fact, Leo didn't lie to her, he did have a way to treat Devina's abnormal body, and as he said, the final treatment effect would be very bad.

When he discovered that the cause of Devena's out-of-control witch power was the Narnia Lake gem, he already had several sets of plans to cure Devena in his mind, but those plans were very risky and the operation methods were very risky. There are only two cores, one is to remove the Narnia Lake gem from Devena's bloodline, and the other is to completely solve Devena's witch bloodline and make Devena return to an ordinary person.

Although there are two cores, there is only one step to complete these two cores, and that is to extract Devina's witch blood.

In the world of Velen, both the church and the wizards have a history of researching witches, and their research methods are also very rough. The blood is passed on to other people. The transferred person can be a woman, a man, or even a non-human. Finally, let's see if the witch's blood can be awakened.

However, this type of research only lasted for a short period of time. The reason for this was that apart from the revenge of the witches, more importantly, their research had no results, even for the tower wizards.

With the support of Rupert Fitz, the blood wizard Lawrence also collected relevant information, but before the official start of research, the United Kingdom of France was destroyed due to the thick fog beast tide, and the collected relevant information It also fell into the hands of Sylvia along with the blood wizard Lawrence.

Leo had also read relevant materials at the beginning, and found from the materials that both the church and the medical school had mastered a set of mature methods to extract the complete witch's blood from the witch's body, but the extracted witch's blood was passed on to On other people, no matter what kind of body that person has, there will be extremely serious rejection reactions, and this rejection reaction is fatal and irreversible. Still unable to eliminate the rejection reaction, and eventually died.

As for the witch whose blood was taken from her, she will also age rapidly in a short period of time, and will die within two years. From the data, the mortality rate can be said to be 100%.

As Leo said to the dryad Lutaxi, he can indeed take away the witch's blood from Devina's body. Once the support of the witch's blood is lost, all the mutations on Devina's body will stop and fade away. Luta Xi's natural power helps and heals, and all abnormal parts should be able to return to normal, but after doing so, Devina can only live for two years at most, and even the gods cannot prevent her from aging and dying, so Leo would say that the price needed to save Devina was too great.

In addition to directly treating Devena will cause Devena's death, more importantly, it can be said that Leo does not benefit at all, because the extracted witch's blood will lose its activity soon, and there is no research value. The living witch Devina was able to allow Leo to repeatedly study the secret of the witch's blood in her body, especially the secret that the Narnia gem was integrated into her blood, which could make her witch's power grow infinitely.

Leo said that he couldn't heal Devena directly. He could only take Devena out of this world and go to other worlds to train her control of witch power. He wanted to take Devena by his side to study her blood, and maybe It can make Sylvia have one more powerful witch subordinate.

The dryad Lutaxi is very sensitive and can feel that Leo is lying or hiding something in the treatment of Devina, but she can't find a way to refute Leo's approach, because no matter what Leo does What, he is now the only one who can treat Devina, which is an unchangeable fact. If Leo lets go, then she can't imagine what will happen to Devina in the end.

In this way, the two did not say anything about Devina's treatment along the way, and the two also did not have anything to say, and they were silent all the way until they came to the map provided by the Countess Mark the first town.

However, what puzzled both Leo and the dryad Lutaxi was that the situation in this town seemed to be different from what was written on the map marker. It was so prosperous, but it was extremely depressed, and after entering the town, the people I saw were either women, children, or some old people, but none of those male young adults and teenagers were seen.

Seeing this scene, the first thing Leo thought of was war. Obviously, only war would require large-scale recruitment of soldiers, which would lead to the disappearance of all adult males in a small town. From the records of those deserted towns in the Middle Kingdom We can see many similar things in history.

However, Leo was also puzzled by this inference, because judging by the scale of the war he participated in in the West Green Emerald region, it seems that the West Green Emerald region is not so difficult that it takes an adult male in a town, and more importantly Because this town is located on the main avenue of the West Green Emerald Forest, and it is not too far from the Qingshui Bieyuan where Devina cultivated. Even if the Countess recruited soldiers to support the war, she would definitely not choose Changteng Town as the recruiting place. point.

Although he was puzzled by the situation in Changteng Town, Leo did not intervene in the investigation, but suppressed his curiosity, ignored the situation, made a little repair in the town, and passed through The central avenue of the town, continue the previous itinerary.

It's just that there are many things that he can't avoid if he wants to avoid them. After passing by Changteng Town, one day and one night later, Leo passed through the other two towns on the log avenue one after another, and this The situation in the two towns was the same as Changteng Town, almost no adult men were seen, all of them were old people, children and women. This immediately made Leo feel that this abnormal phenomenon might be related to Lake Narnia, so he went to When he left the last town, he asked the old warden who guarded the gate of the town.
