Chapter 218: Bow Area

Leo didn't bother to ask Sylvia about the people he knew and his friends, but Sylvia said a little bit as he was getting ready to pack.

For example, Dr. Nelson and Jason have already received the original transaction, and Nelson has become a member of parliament in Port Sette by virtue of his family background and the prestige of practicing medicine in recent years, and married Catherine Nightingale.

Jason is also married, married to the proprietress of a tavern in the docklands, he is in charge of the warehouse in the docks, has become the head of the dock porters' union, and is also a small powerful figure in the port of Sette.

Catherine, with the support of Nelson and Jason, opened a nursing school and a civilian member, specializing in teaching women all kinds of nursing knowledge and providing medical services to poor civilians, because often at night, carrying lanterns, patrolling wards, and caring for patients, gradually no one called her by her first name anymore, but called her Lady Lantern.

After the old man was burned down at 9 Golden Oak Street, he left the city of Miria and went to the southern continent of Mozambi, and two years later, because he discovered and excavated the legendary ancient city of Lombir, which proved the existence of ancient civilizations recorded in the Assyrian scrolls, and also rewrote the place of human origin, so he was revered as a master all over the world, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while.

In addition to the four people who can be regarded as friends, Emily, who is "related" to Leo, Sylvia also mentioned it slightly, but she didn't say too much, just that Emily is now being trained by other witches in the witch group.

Although Emily's personality has changed, the idea of avenging her family has not disappeared, and now that the murderer of the murder has reappeared in Miria City, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity to find the murderer. It's just that the witch training she is receiving now is at a critical moment, and she can't get out, so she will ask Sylvia for help and let Sylvia's subordinates secretly help her investigate the murderer.

It's just that, judging from the current situation, Sylvia's subordinates should have investigated something related to the murderer, but unfortunately the murderer noticed it and became the murderer's sacrifice instead.

Different from the situation when he saw the scene of the murder back then, Leo didn't need to rush to treat anyone, so he was able to carefully search every detail of the murder case through the spirit network in detail, which also made him discover some content that had been inadvertently ignored before, and also seemed to have discovered the true situation of the murder.

In the past, Leo thought that the murderer who committed this kind of murder was either a cult god or some evil wizard or something, but now that he looked at the scene again, from some clues found, the identity of the murderer was far from as simple as he thought before, and this murderer was probably an existence called the Ascender.

Leo's knowledge of the Ascendant does not come from the books of the world of Veron, but from the materials about the ruined capital in the world of dreams.

In the Dream World's exploration of the Waste Capital, Wangcheng has always been the center of exploration, whether it is the large library where Leo has been, or the Ash Plains where the most people in the Dream World enter, and other areas, in the eyes of the people in the Dream World, Wangcheng is the center.

The reason why the people of the dream world think so is because the rest of the ruined capital is made up of fragments of different destroyed worlds, and the remnants of those destroyed worlds can be seen there, except for the royal city, which has only one building from beginning to end, a city building built around towering trees.

Leo had never been to the royal city, and he didn't know the specific image of the royal city, but through what was written in the information, he knew that in addition to the topmost Arnorrond, which was known as the abode of the gods, there were different urban areas in the branches, trunks, bottoms and even the depths of the roots, and the god ascender was the only mysterious existence with a clear mind and intelligent thoughts in the blasphemous abyss at the root of the tree.

No one can say exactly what the ascenders are, and there are different opinions on the information, some people think that it is some defiled soul who vainly tries to become gods, and some people think that it is some degenerate god who has lost the glory of gods. In addition, there is no fixed answer to His appearance, as is His existence, and all those who meet the Ascended Beings describe a different appearance, sometimes a gust of wind, sometimes a leaf, sometimes a reflection in a mirror, and so on.

Although the Ascender as a whole is a mystery, there is one thing that all who have seen the Ascender agree on, and that is that the purpose of the Ascender's existence is to become a god.

There are many ways in which the ascendant becomes a god, but all of them are only valid for the ascendant, and others who use this method will only become madmen who have lost any reason. Of the methods that have been written, the most common and the most well-documented is to create fear, from which the ascender can gain some kind of power, which in turn will lead to the evolution of the bloodline and the creation of new gods.

The reason why this method can be recorded in detail in the materials of the dream world is that when the former first chief entered the blasphemous abyss of the royal city, he captured a god ascender, and through some method, brought him back to the dream world and tortured him.

Eventually, before the Ascender died in the Dream World, a great deal of information was obtained about the Royal City, the Blasphemous Abyss, and the magical species of the Ascender.

Because of this, Leo, who had read these materials, was able to find some special runes used by the Ascenders to transform the power of fear in the scene of the murder just now.

It's just that Leo is a little puzzled by these runes, the wizards of the dream world have experimented with them, and they are useless, he has also tried one or two of them, and got the same result, but just now he could feel some faint spiritual energy fluctuations from these runes, obviously these runes have had an effect.

This situation made Leo can't help but think that the three different worlds of Velen World, Dream World and Waste City may have different effects due to different environments, and the same rune, word root and magic array will produce different effects.

The new discovery led Leo to put the Circle of Plague aside for the time being, and to re-investigate it once the discovery was confirmed.

Leo quickly left the city of Fish and walked towards the nearest ruined area of the city of Fish, there are many ruins in Miria City, some places are difficult to clean up and are not suitable for habitation, so there are no refugees to set up tents and simple houses there, such is the city in the bow area.

The bow area was not originally named after the ship, but after several expansions, the shape of the entire city gradually became the same as the bow of the ship, hence this strange name.

The first people to live here were some of the stonemasons and their families who were responsible for the construction of the city, but later the area around the bow of the ship became part of the administrative district of Miria City, so that the residents of the bow area gradually became civil servants of Miria City.

When the airships of the French Empire bombed the entire city, in order to paralyze the basic administrative functions of the city in a short period of time, the office buildings of various departments and civil servants in the administrative district were important targets, so the bow area was already in ruins in the first round of bombardment by airships.

Because the war was so sudden, the fighting was so fierce that all the residents of the bow area 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 the deceased also died in the subsequent rounds of bombing, and the living people were thinking about survival every day, and there was no mood and time to clean up the ruins and collect the bodies of the deceased, so the bow area became one of the largest ruin tombs in Miria City.

When the scavengers were first formed, there were also people who wanted to find something valuable in the ruins of the nearby Chuantou District and other urban areas, after all, the people who lived here in the past were the families of civil servants in the city, and they had a lot of assets, so they should be able to find some good things.

But a series of strange events that happened after that made the city a forbidden territory. For example, the person who enters here will hallucinate, in the hallucination, the bow area is still intact, and the dead are still there, but when the hallucination is over, the person will be cursed and gradually weaken, and eventually die.

In addition, the strangest thing that has ever happened is that a group of scavengers of up to 300 people entered the bow area of the ship, ready to clean up the ruins and find something of value. Although they didn't believe in rumors such as ghost curses, they didn't dare to enter the ruins full of dead corpses underground at night, so they chose to enter during the day. But not long after they entered, in full view of everyone, everyone suddenly attacked each other like crazy, until the last of them fell under a pool of blood, and no one came out of the bow area.

It is precisely because of these strange things that this place has become a forbidden area, and no one dares to approach here, let alone enter here at night.

Of course, the danger of the bow area is only for ordinary people, but for those who live in the dark world, the bow area is a good place to live. For unknown reasons, some parts of the city generate a natural psionic magnetic field, and for those with psionic powers, staying in this environment for a long time can be beneficial to the growth of their psionic energy.

It's just that this kind of environment is not helpful for people like Leo and Blood Wizards who have entered a high level of psionic power.

The reason why Leo came to the ruins of the bow area is not only because there are no people here, but also because this special psionic magnetic field can help him more easily test some Turing roots, magic runes and other powers.

It's just that Leo's arrival will inevitably alarm some people from the dark world who have been entrenched here for a long time and have made this place their own territory.

The moment he entered the ruins just now, seven or eight more eyes fell on him, and they kept following him all the way, a few of these eyes were only scrutinizing eyes, and the others were full of malice, obviously taking Leo as a prey.

Because Leo has gathered all the strength in his body, judging from his appearance, he is just a normal person with a strong body, and the outfit on his body is the standard outfit of a scavenger, so at first glance he will be regarded as a bold lone scavenger.

As time passed, the scavengers gradually formed a group, occupying patches of ruined areas, and the overall power was also very considerable, and some were even able to compete with well-armed gangs, so that those who did not want to join the scavenger group became more and more difficult to survive, so many scavengers set their sights on several forbidden 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, and some of them have good luck, have not broken into those special psionic magnetic fields, have not been affected, and have returned from the ruins with a full load. But many more Lone Travelers never came out after entering the ruins, and these people either died in those special areas or were killed by the Dark World people living in those special areas, so when Leo entered this area, all the Watchers thought of another Lone Wanderer who did not know whether to live or die.

While these watchers were observing Leo, Leo was also looking at these watchers through the spirit web.

Among the watchers, the two watchers who only had a scrutinizing gaze and did not show any malicious intent had faint psionic fluctuations on their bodies, and judging from their outfits and some iconic items, they were supposed to be from the Night's Watch.

Therefore, the two watchers have been regarded by Leo as a guiding stone, and cast a mana mark magic, leaving a mark on them through the spirit web, and when he has finished testing those magic runes, he will use the marks on these two people to find the secret place of the Night Watch in Miria, and then through the Night Watch organization, find the Ljungberg of the Free Front, and pull Ljungberg into the search for the Plague Ring.

After all, Ljungberg Viai, who already regarded Miria City as his own territory, definitely didn't want to see the Plague Ring used in this ruined city, so in Leo's opinion, it shouldn't be difficult to convince him.

The malice leaking from the sight of the other monitors was so obvious that it could be felt without too much attention, and Leo naturally didn't intend to let them go, but he didn't plan to kill them directly, because he also needed 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 Wizards both believe that the Plague Ring is the best missionary artifact, and in the current situation of Miria City, those underground churches that cannot see the light should be the forces that want to obtain the Plague Ring the most.

The underground churches that Leo is talking about here are not the churches of ancient gods that occupy a certain part of the city, such as Maya the Mother of Conception and Morbison the Observer, but the churches of evil gods that are regarded as evil gods by the Orthodox Church.

Although these cults of evil gods were unable to preach in public like the churches of the ancient gods, the poor conditions and desperation of Miria City allowed their churches to spread smoothly among the large number of refugees in the city.

At this moment, the watchers with malicious intentions behind Leo are from two very well-known cults of evil gods in the local area, they are the Church of the Mother Snake and the Church of Leo's old acquaintance, the Church of True Words.
