Chapter 1039: The Tribes of the Sea

It is precisely because of Princess Chrissy's legendary experience and her rebellious life that there are many admirers of her in the world of Veron, and the stories related to her are enduring, and her reputation is no worse than that of the pirate Count Drake.

However, Leo knew that this princess Chrissy had another layer of identity, which was that of a witch, and her identity as a witch also made the rumors of the death of King Inge and the Duke of Buckingham a little more true, at least in Sylvia's opinion, the probability of this matter was as high as more than ninety percent.

Although Princess Chrissy is a witch, she is not a member of the Witches' Guild, and the Witches' Guild doesn't know much about her, except that she is a witch with some special abilities.

According to the information, Princess Chrissy's ability is not very strong on land, just about the same as an ordinary witch, but when it comes to the sea, she can have a power comparable to that of a god, as for the specific power Sylvia is not very clear, just guessing that it may be related to the ocean, after all, the blood of the English royal family has the blood of the sea god, even if there is a witch, it should not be out of the scope of the bloodline of the bloodline.

Just as Leo was recalling the information related to Princess Chrissy in his mind, Sean on the side also quickly described his relationship with Princess Chrissy, or why he was able to recognize the centaur bishop as Princess Chrissy so quickly.

It turned out that during the two years that Princess Chrissy was in the Poseidon Church, Sean Donald, who was still young at the time, was one of her attendants, and even when Princess Chrissy died of illness, he was among the clergy who prayed for her on her death.

Although many years have passed, the figure of Princess Chrissy still remains in his heart, after all, it was his first crush at the beginning of love.

After hearing Sean emotionally mention his connection with Princess Chrissy, Leo unceremoniously pulled him back from that youthful memory and said, "Is Princess Chrissy really dead?"

Sean immediately replied: "Of course she died, not only the church did the examination, but even the royal family sent someone to inspect it, and after confirming that she was dead, she was buried at sea according to her last wishes." ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, and confirmed, "Princess Chrissy's funeral was carried out according to her own wishes?"

"Yes. Sean nodded and said: "Although Princess Chrissy has been expelled from the royal family, the royal family originally planned to bury him in the royal cemetery, and the Poseidon Church also hoped to let Princess Chrissy be buried according to the rites of the Church of Eros, the two were deadlocked, and finally Princess Chriss's maid said that she left a will after her death, and the burial method was recorded in the will, which ended the dispute." ”

Leo asked, "What tests did the royal family and the church do for Princess Chrissy's death check?"

"Just a simple test of the heartbeat......" Sean replied quickly, but immediately stopped, and realized something, and said, "Lord Leo means that Princess Chrissy is not actually dead?"

"I don't know. Leo didn't give the other party a clear answer, but the meaning was self-evident, and when Sean wanted to ask something, he changed the topic and said: "What do you think now, since you and Princess Chrissy are old acquaintances, and the bishop of the centaur is also likely to be Princess Chriss, you may be able to ......"

"Nope. Sean shook his head and said, "I was just an insignificant little squire at the time, and there were more than a dozen squires like me, and I didn't have any old acquaintances with Princess Chrissy. Let's go to the temple as planned!"

After saying that, Sean seemed unwilling to continue the topic, and walked in the direction of the temple, and Leo followed, continuing on his way.

After walking for about a few hours, the two met a team of centaurs rushing from the direction of the temple again, this time the centaurs were slightly different from the previous centaurs in terms of clothing and race, this time the centaurs were mainly pure humans, even if they had fish characteristics on their bodies, the mutation parts were all hidden, and they couldn't see their mutations if they didn't look carefully.

Although these people also have the emblem of the Poseidon Church, they do not have the clothing of the clergy, but all wear a suit of armor, the armor of the leader is slightly different from the others, there is a sculpture of a hydra on the chest of his armor, and each of the eyes of the hydra is a gem, which seems to have no effect, just some kind of decoration.

However, if someone really thinks of it as some kind of decoration, then that person is probably not far from death.

Because Leo, who was hiding in the shadows, could clearly feel that there was an energy fluctuation equivalent to an eighth-level psionic person contained in the sculpture of the hydra, although he didn't know what the function of this energy was, but he knew very well that if the other party knew how to release this energy, then any eighth-level psionic would be hit hard under the merits of this energy, let alone those below the eighth level.

Although the knight at the head had a very powerful strange armor, this person's strength seemed to be much worse than the half-mermaid bishop who was suspected of being Princess Chrissy in the past, because Leo was very close to this team at that time, and also used the spirit net to check his internal and external situation, but even so, the other party still did not notice that there was a mysterious strong man snooping on him in the place he passed, and his perception ability was much worse than that of Princess Chrissy.

"Are they from the Hydra family?" muttered to himself as Leo cleared the hidden rune trap, looking in the direction the group had left.

"What hydra?" asked Leo.

Sean immediately explained to Leo, it turned out that the people who left the inland sea and settled on land were not from the same bloodline family, in fact, a total of three families chose to leave the ocean, and these three families all used the powerful monsters in the sea as their family crests, such as the Hydra family just now.

"What about you?" asked Leo, "and that sea monster family does your Donald family belong to?"

"Son of the Sea. Sean said: "Ancestors record that people with the blood of the Donald family can call the deep sea monster through a special sea monster snail, and the purer the bloodline, the more deep sea monsters are called, and the ancestor is rumored to be able to call thirty deep sea monsters." ”

"What is the rest of the family?" asked Leo again.

"Leviathan, the Devourer of Worlds. Sean thought for a moment and said.

Leo was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Leviathan the incarnation of the sea god?"

According to the scriptures of the Church of Poseidon, the god of the sea has two incarnations that govern everything in the ocean for him while he is asleep, one is the Sea King, who has never appeared in the world of Velon, and the other is Leviathan, the Eater of Worlds.

It is said that the god of the sea is in charge of countless sea worlds, and only when those sea worlds go into decay, Leviathan will be cultivated in that sea world, devouring the entire world, turning it into a crown jewel on the head of the sea god.

"It's the embodiment of the god of the sea, but it's also a sea monster. Sean explained, and added, "The royal family of Inge seems to have the blood of Leviathan, and their ancestors are likely to be members of this family. ”

After a short conversation, the two continued to hurry, on the way, they successively encountered several teams of cavalry rushing to the depths of the desperate mountains, and the surrounding environment also became a little different with the increase in the number of cavalry encountered, such as the original barren gravel ground has more soil, and the soil has grown moss, the original mountain has become a wetland, and with the thickening of the soil, trees have grown on the ground, but these trees are not very tall, the highest is less than ten meters, compared to the hundred-meter trees that can be seen everywhere in the Velen world, it is obviously a lot worse。

However, the branches and foliage of the trees here are very dense, and a large number of disordered trunks and branches grow, plus leaves and vines, all the gaps between the trees are blocked, and if you want to pass here, you can either fly directly over the trees, or you can only take the path opened up by the people here.

Obviously, the other end of this forest should be where the holy mountain mentioned by Sean is located, and the races living around the holy mountain seem to also use this forest as a natural barrier against those monsters in the Desperate Mountain, Leo can feel that the trees in this forest are not as simple as they seem on the surface, they are full of all kinds of hidden predators, and even the forest trees themselves may be a predator, like some kind of community of life.

"How do we get there now?" Standing on the hillside, Sean looked at the forest, and then at a clear path through the forest in the distance.

"Take the road. Leo quickly gave an answer, saying, "The forest is too dangerous, I may be able to walk through it, but you may have some difficulty." ”

Sean hesitated slightly, then pointed to the obvious checkpoints on the road and asked, "What about there?"

"Let's go, don't say anything for a while, just follow me. Leo didn't elaborate, but gave a brief command, and then walked down the hill toward the other side of the road.

Sean followed closely, and now he could only trust Leo, after all, if it weren't for Leo, this sacrificial trip that he thought should not be too troublesome might have died when he first came to this world, and now he can only rely on Leo, hoping that Leo can do what he promised.

The two of them soon came to the road, which the builders had apparently considered for the convenience of the army, so they built it as wide as possible, and Leo estimated that the width of the road was at least a hundred meters.

The ground of the road is not stone, but bones that look like sea creatures, which have been crushed and laid on the ground and then compacted to form the current pavement.

Leo could easily sense a fluctuation of energy from the surface of these bones, and it was obvious that the people who built the road did not just pave the road for the sake of beauty, but more because the energy generated by these bones could inhibit the growth of the woods, and it could also have some dispersal effect on the monsters of the Desperate Mountains, because Leo did not find any small bugs on this path that could often be seen in the Desperate Mountains, and even the mountain areas within the influence of the road energy did not have bugs.

"What's wrong with you?" After the two of them embarked on this path, Sean suddenly had a strange expression on his face, and Leo also noticed it, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's, it's just...... It felt very comfortable. Sean also said with some confusion on his face: "It's like going home." ”

Leo checked Sean's condition with the spirit net, and did not find anything unusual on Sean's body, the only noteworthy thing was the few scales that appeared behind Sean's ears when he mutated before, and the color of the scales seemed to have changed, turning into silver-white edges with some golden patterns.

"Is there a problem?" Sean asked when he saw Leo frown.

Leo explained, "It's nothing, it's just that the environment here can have some stimulating effect on some of your bloodlines, and if you stay here for a long time, maybe you can become a true member of the sea god." ”

Hearing Leo's words, Sean not only didn't show a little joy, but was a little ugly, he was different from the royal family of England and other people who had something to do with the royal bloodline, he never liked the so-called Poseidon bloodline, he preferred his own human bloodline, he had also seen what those Poseidon clans were like, and those Poseidon clans had become a nightmare in his heart, so he was not interested in mutating into that kind of clan at all, and even extremely disgusted.

Leo didn't say anything, and led Sean to continue along the road, because the road was not covered, so people walking on the road could be seen from a distance.

So the moment he walked on this bone path, Leo used psionic energy to create an optical illusion around his body, hiding himself and Sean in the illusion, which allowed the two of them to go all the way to the first checkpoint without being detected by the watchers on the checkpoint.

This sentry post is not the kind of pass-type sentry post, but more like a beacon tower, a wooden wall and wooden door that cannot play any interception role at a glance block the road, and at both ends of the road are two sentry towers more than 50 meters high, and next to the sentry tower is a beacon-style brazier.

At this moment, the gate of the sentry post is open, it seems that it is to facilitate the entry and exit of those cavalry before, although there are guards on the watchtower, but there are no guards at the gate under the watchtower, and the people who should be in charge of guarding are staying outside the wooden house not far away to play a local board game, it seems that they are very relaxed, and they are not afraid that those monsters in the Desperate Mountains will rush here to attack them.

The guards here were mostly unmutated humans, and they spoke a new language, and although they couldn't understand what they were saying, it was clear from their gestures and expressions that they were the cavalry who had passed through here and headed for the Mountains of Despair before they spoke.

After Leo passed through the gate, he did not leave immediately, but continued to hide not far away with optical illusions, listening to the conversations of the people, memorizing the pronunciation and other details of the people, and collecting references for himself to master the language in the near future.
