The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lutaxi the dryad couldn't help asking when he saw the serious expression on Leo's face.

Leo didn't hide it either, and truthfully told what happened to him after he entered the Shadow Realm, including his guess about the time replacement that appeared in that area.

He didn't know much about the situation in the Shadow Realm, and he didn't have enough intelligence data to use as the basic data for analysis, so he simply looked to see if the dryad Lutaxi could provide useful clues. After all, the dryad Lutaxi was already in this world. The shadow world has survived for a long time, and I should know more about the situation here than myself.

Sure enough, after listening to Leo's narration, the dryad Lutaxi's expression changed slightly, and he said, "The misty shadow creature you mentioned should be a unique umbral here, and this kind of umbral does not occur naturally. It is made by some kind of shadow power, and the powerful existence who masters these shadow monster manufacturing methods and is also the master of shadow monsters is called the Dark Spirit Lord. He is one of the most powerful existences in this shadow world, and with the dark Another powerful existence that is the enemy of the spirit master is called the phantom god, which is very mysterious, and I don't know his specific situation, but I know that he has mastered a part of the power of time and space." She paused and said: "From what you said just now, it should be that the Dark Spirit Lord sent his umbral monsters to the crater to collect the meteorite fragment, but it was destroyed by you, and after you got the fragment, it should be destroyed by the phantom god It was tricked."

At this time, Dewenna, who was an observer, also said: "From what you said, the powerful existence named Phantom God should not have planned to be your enemy, otherwise, he wouldn't just take Take the fragment of the meteorite in your hand instead of attacking you."

Leo also agreed with Devina's analysis, and at the same time he said very puzzled: "What is that meteorite fragment? Why did it arouse the interest of two powerful beings in the shadow world?"

Dryad Rutaxi mistook Leo's soliloquy as asking her, so he thought about it seriously, and said: "I've never heard of meteorite fragments in the Shadow Realm, but I I do know that the Dark Spirit Lord is trying to build a throne, and he is collecting various materials in the Shadow Realm."

Hearing the words of the tree demon Lutaxi, Leo immediately had an association, and asked: "Do you know what kind of throne it is?"

"I don't know much about this," the dryad Lutaxi shook his head and said, "The Eternal City of the Dark Spirit Lord is a forbidden area for me. I dare not approach it. The matter about the throne is only from some intelligent shadow creatures. I heard from the rumors that the Lord of the Dark Spirits seems to have had a dream, dreaming of a throne. He thought that as long as he made the throne, he would be able to become the real master of the shadow world, so he collected it a long time ago. All kinds of materials for making the throne, but the throne has never been completed."

"Dream?" Leo was stunned, and said, "I remember that shadow creatures cannot dream?"

"That's right! That's the magic of this matter." The dryad Lutaxi explained: "That's because shadow creatures can't dream, so the Dark Spirit Lord thinks that this is the revelation given to him by the origin of the shadow world." , thinking that he is the destined master of the shadow world."

Leo heard this and felt that this matter was very strange, and then said: "How far are we from Lake Narnia in the shadow world now?"

Dryad Lutaxi didn't understand why Leo changed the subject suddenly, but she still pointed to a line of mountains in front of her truthfully, and said, "Crossing over that mountain range will lead to the location of Lake Narnia. We just need to wait for the next step." One time change, Lake Narnia will appear in front of us."

"Let's go now!" Leo gestured to the tree demon and Devina, and then walked towards the mountain pointed by the tree demon, but he followed and turned back and added: "Tell me about the Dark Spirit Lord on the way." things, as well as the enemies of the Dark Spirit Lord, especially the existence named Phantom God."

Hearing Leo's request, the dryad Lutaxi didn't say much, motioned for Devina to sit on her back again, and then quickly followed, while walking side by side with Leo, she turned her head slightly Seeing to her about the dark spirit lord and other powerful existences in the shadow world slowly revealed to her, let Leo have a clear understanding of the situation and power of the shadow world.

The world of shadows is chaotic and disorderly. Even the powerful beings in the world of shadows are mostly in a disordered state. Today, he may have this ability in such a form, but tomorrow he may change to a different form. The ability has also changed a form, and every change will cause confusion in the memory and cognition of these powerful beings in the shadow world, thus making their behavior and consciousness more chaotic and disorderly, so according to the form of the real world It is a mistake to distinguish these powerful beings from the shadow world by virtue, ability, and consciousness.

But there are exceptions. Among these powerful beings in the shadow world that cannot be effectively classified, there are four powerful beings in the shadow world who can partly get rid of this state of disorder and chaos. These four powerful beings can use some of their abilities Completely solidified, and through this solidified ability to fix a part of their own consciousness, even if they fell into disordered changes again because of the power of the law of the shadow world, they can still use their solidified ability and consciousness, Let yourself always be in an orderly and rational state, and will not fall into disordered conscious behavior for a long time like other powerful existences in the shadow world.

The dark spirit master and phantom god mentioned by the dryad Lutaxi before are two powerful existences in the shadow world who can maintain an orderly and rational state. In addition to these two, there is also a strong person called the earth mother. And a mysterious being called the Primogen.

Among these four powerful beings, the only ones who are the most active and known by all kinds of intelligent creatures in the shadow world are the dark spirit master and the phantom god. The earth mother and the source matter are more like a concept. All shadow creatures After gaining wisdom, everyone will know that these two exist in the shadow world, but no one has ever seen them.

As the two shadow powerhouses with the greatest reputation and the most widely spread deeds, whether they are the Dark Spirit Lord or the Phantom God, they have created two amazing feats. city ​​of.

Although they all created cities that are not affected by time replacement, the cities they created are different.

There are three cities created by the phantom gods. These three cities themselves are illusory existences, but the shadow creatures living in the cities will think that these cities are real, and because the cities themselves are illusory, they contain disorder. And chaos, so when the law of time replacement occurs, disorder cannot affect disorder, and chaos cannot create chaos. The city will not change because of its illusory nature, so that the city can be solidified in a certain place.

Different from the deceptive city of the phantom god, the Eternal City built by the Dark Spirit Lord is a real city, and this city is also not affected by time replacement, but why it is not affected, so far, except for the dark spirit Other than the Lord, any other powerful existence in the shadow world does not know the mystery. The only thing that is certain is that the Eternal City needs to be sacrificed every once in a while, which also makes the wise shadow creatures guess that this may be the Eternal City. The reason why it can be solidified in one place is that every time the Eternal City sacrifices, a large number of intelligent shadow creatures will enter the Eternal City to watch the ceremony, trying to discover the solidified mystery contained in the sacrifice ceremony.

As for why the Phantom God became enmity with the Dark Spirit Lord, there is no unified theory. There are various rumors, but none of them are very reliable. There is only one rumor that is most likely, and that is the core that the Dark Spirit Lord used to build the Eternal City The materials were snatched from Phantom God.

The reason why this rumor is likely is that before the Dark Spirit Lord built the Eternal City, the Phantom God was the only shadow powerhouse in the entire shadow world who could build a city and solidify the city in a certain place, and he had The first time I mentioned that I found a material that can truly solidify the city.

However, on a certain day, the Dark Spirit Lord suddenly built the Eternal City, and said that the Eternal City had been completely solidified at the construction location, and then came the news that the Illusory God and the Dark Spirit Lord were mortal enemies.

Although neither the Phantom God nor the Dark Spirit Lord has admitted that the enmity between the two is related to the construction of the Eternal City, but if inferred from time, the credibility of the rumor is very high, so this rumor has become The reason why the phantom god and the dark spirit master are recognized by the shadow world.

In fact, not only intelligent creatures in the shadow world think so, Leo also thinks so after listening to the narration of the dryad Lutaxi, but he has no intention of intervening in the battle between the shadow world powerhouses, even if He was plotted against before, but he didn't intend to take revenge. The only thing he was interested in now was the throne built by the Dark Spirit Lord. He felt that this throne might have something to do with his stone throne.

Thinking of this, Leo suddenly asked a little abruptly: "Where is the Eternal City built by the Dark Spirit Lord? Does it coincide with the location where Lake Narnia moved?"

The dryad Lutaxi listened to Leo's words, thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe they overlap."

"Why do you say it's possible?" Leo asked in a daze.

"Because when I came to this shadow world, the Eternal City had already been built, so I don't know whether the location of the Eternal City coincides with the location of Lake Narnia," the dryad Lutaxi shrugged, looking helpless. Then he said: "However, if you calculate the law of the current position of Lake Narnia, part of the Eternal City should overlap with Lake Narnia, but these are just speculations without any substantive evidence."

After hearing what the dryad Lutaxi said, Leo didn't ask any more questions, and he put the matter aside for the time being, and began to teach Devina, who was riding on the back of the dryad, how to refine and control her own spirit. The power of the witch, and while teaching Dewenna, it is also secretly absorbing the power of the witch that escaped from Devena, and supplementing little by little the one belonging to Devena in the stone pillar of the Stone Throne Square is so incomplete that even The pedestals are also dilapidated stone pillars.

It has to be said that Devina's talent is indeed amazing. Before, she had already begun to be familiar with the control of her own witch power just by relying on Leo's dictation method. Now that Leo is in charge of the professor, she has improved faster. They turned over the mountain range and came to the other side. When the dryad Lutaxi pointed out the location of Lake Narnia, she had completely and perfectly controlled the power of the witch that already existed in her body, and according to Leo's instructions, A method for self-recovery of various abnormalities in the body.

Although, the gemization of her feet and eyes has not changed, but the gemization of the feet has returned to normal mobility, and she can already walk and run like a normal person, just because of the long-term bedridden body Because of this, the muscles of the body have degenerated seriously, and some organs in the body have been eroded and damaged by the power of the witch, so her body is very weak, and she is temporarily unable to exercise for a long time.

However, compared to her feet, after she fully controlled her witch power, the biggest change was her eyeballs.

In the real world, she has been able to see clearly some things that ordinary people cannot see, such as the dryad Lutaxi who is in the gap between reality and shadow, and now her eyes are even more focused on Leo's spiritual vision ability. Continuously evolving, she has been able to clearly see the changes of every supernatural force around her like Leo's spiritual vision. With this ability, she has found the tree demon lutaxi several times on the road. Shadow creatures in the dark.

When Devina began to control the power of the witch, the power of shadow formed by the shadow heart in her body did not produce any repelling effect. Instead, the power of shadow was actively trying to integrate into Devina's power of the witch, but this integration was more Like a moth to a flame, the power of shadow was immediately melted and dispelled as soon as it approached the power of the witch.

For this kind of result, Leo had expected it a long time ago, because from a certain point of view, Devina's witch power may be able to restrain most of the shadow power, because according to the evolution and analysis of the stone pillars in the square, Devina The final form of the witch's power should be a complete star, and under the light of the star, even the most powerful shadows will disappear.

Although Devina's witch power is still a long way from its true final form, the source of this power has already been formed, and the restraint on the power of shadows has naturally emerged as the times require.

Faced with this situation, Leo found that the shadow heart in Devena's body did not retreat automatically, but strengthened the absorption of the surrounding shadow power, which doubled the shadow power in Devina's body. When the ablation and dispelling of the power of power, there is no worry that the power of shadow will be exhausted, and such a huge power of shadow enters Devena's body, which makes Devina's whole temperament feel like a real of shadow creatures.

While the shadow heart increased the absorption of the surrounding shadow power, Leo was also monitoring this shadow power. At the same time, he also deliberately intercepted a shadow power from entering the body, and was captured by the stone throne and analyzed it again. The analyzed results made him a little surprised and surprised.
