Chapter 350: The Fortress

After following the little boy through a street, watching the little boy skillfully avoid the detection routes of some monsters, a thoughtful look appeared on Leo's face.

The reason why Leo chose to go with the little boy was not only to know who the survivors of the establishment were, but also to be curious and puzzled about the little boy himself.

Because he hadn't found a child or woman in the city of Yam before, the sudden appearance of this child made Leo wonder where this child had come from, and judging by the child's behavior, he was obviously very familiar with the streets and the monsters that appeared here, not like a newcomer.

In the same way, the child's reference to him as a foreigner implies that the child is clearly a resident of the city of Yam, which is completely different from what Leo has seen and heard.

With doubts, the two quickly followed a safe route selected by the little boy to a tall tower closest to the city wall, only to see that the bone houses around the tower were all reinforced with stones, and the stones were also built into a castle, and supported by columns, together with the second layer of the tower, so as not to give the monster the possibility of attacking from overhead.

At the door of this fortress, some monster bones built of grid fences are densely placed around, each fence is hung with a large number of monster skulls, these monster skulls one or two together will not have any abnormal situation, but hundreds of them are placed together, but they can produce an energy fluctuation, just like the energy fluctuation formed by Leo obsidian, so that the monsters in the city think that there are powerful monsters entrenched here, and dare not approach.

In addition, on the ground at the door, there is a magic circle composed of complex runes, this magic circle is not only on the ground, but also spreads to the walls of the surrounding bone house, wrapping the entire tower around it, with the scale of the magic array, if it is very spectacular.

It's just that what really attracts Leo's attention is not the scale of the magic array, in fact, after seeing the stone ball that sealed the True Eye, it is difficult for him to be shocked by the scale of the magic array, he will pay extra attention to this magic array because this magic array is a rune array unique to the dream world, and even the runes that build the magic array are also derived from the dream world, but more are the Turing roots of the Velen world.

When he saw this magic circle, Leo immediately thought of Alice Belmont, because it seemed that in this strange place on Yam Island, she was the only one who could complete such a magic circle that combined the different witchcraft systems of the dream world and the world of Velon.

"Stranger, hurry up and keep up, when Mama asks you later, you must answer honestly, Mama doesn't like liars, if you lie, Mama will drive you away." The little boy slowed down at the door, and whispered a few words to Leo, who had come after him.

As he spoke, he quickened his pace again, came to the bone door of the fence, pulled the rope beside him, and after a while, he saw that the small window of the door was opened, and a woman's voice came from behind the small window, and said, "It's you again, little Peter, you ran out without permission, don't you know that it is the time of activity?"

As the words fell, the bone door slowly opened from the inside, and then I saw five or six men and women with strong bodies, wearing bone armor and holding bone spears coming out from behind the door, and these men and women instinctively clenched the weapons in their hands after seeing Leo who was following the little boy, and made a gesture behind them, and then heard a sound of footsteps and the rustle of bone armor from behind the door.

"Little Peter, come here. The woman in the lead beckoned to the boy, and with her other hand she tightened the bone spear in her hand to prevent any accidents.

The boy pursed his lips, turned to Leo and made a gesture not to be in a hurry, and walked over to the woman.

When the little boy came to her side, the woman pulled him aside, then motioned for someone behind her to take him away, and then looked at Leo and said, "Who are you, stranger, and how did you get here?"

"I said I was lost, do you believe me?" Leo said with a smile as he sensed the hostility of the other man.

"Lost?" The woman's face became a little ugly, she lifted the bone spear in her hand, pointed it at Leo, and said, "Outlander, you'd better be honest, do you think anyone will believe this kind of lie when you are lost?"

After seeing the leader raise his weapon, the others also raised their weapons and aimed them at Leo, and some of the closed windows on the city wall were also opened, and sharp bone arrows stretched out from the windows and aimed at Leo, the stone that would move if he didn't agree with each other.

In the face of the threat, Leo looked around with disdain, and at the same time, he also used the power of nightmares to condense two kinds of witchcraft from witchers in his hands.

"Joan, don't mess around. Just as the tense confrontation made the atmosphere around them more and more tense, the voice of an old woman came from behind the door, and then I saw an old woman in a black nun's dress come out from behind the door, motioned for everyone to put away their weapons, and then walked up to Leo, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, stranger! We haven't had a stranger here for a long time, and it's a pleasure to see new blood coming in." ”

"Hello, ma'am!" said Leo to the old nun and looked at the church coat of arms embroidered on the woman's dress.

The Sufferer is a very indescribable or indescribable deity in the world of Velon, and although he has very formal churches and churches in the Orthodox Church, his church members often mingle with cultists.

It is impossible to know when the earliest victims' beliefs appeared, but it is known that the beliefs of the victims should have originated from a certain disaster in ancient times, perhaps a natural disaster, or a man-made disaster.

The size of the Afflicted Church has never been fixed, the more wars and disasters occur, the more believers in the Afflicted Church, the more believers in the Afflicted Church have grown to a very terrifying number during the Great Plague, and even in order to curb the number of afflicted churches, the authorities of various countries have begun to secretly restrict the spread of the Afflicted Church among the people.

However, as the world began to move towards peace, although all kinds of wars still occurred from time to time, and all kinds of natural disasters still existed, governments and churches had a set of strategies to deal with such disasters, and few people were desperate enough to ask the gods for help, so the Church of the Victims also fell silent during this time.

However, the devastating disaster in Miria City has caused the Church of the Victims to develop rapidly in Miria City, at least during the time Leo was in Miria City, he found many priests of the Church of the Victims wandering around various ruined cities and neighborhoods.

Leo didn't feel strange at all to see a Church of the Afflicted grandmother appear in this strange city, but he wondered why he hadn't found any trace of the Church of the Victims in White City before, hadn't seen these people, and had heard anything about them.

"Unless the place I'm in right now isn't White City. Leo suddenly had an idea, and couldn't help but look around, quickly remembering the locations of several towers in the city, and comparing the locations of the towers in the White City in his memory.

And the result of the comparison made him even more puzzled, because the location of these towers was not abnormal, it was exactly the same as the location of the towers in the White City, and the location of the streets was the same, so it could be seen that this was the White City.

Leo's gesture of looking left and right made the warriors behind the nun misunderstood, thinking that Leo was the accomplice who should be hidden, and instantly became nervous, and invariably clenched the bone spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was all aimed at Leo.

"Joan, you've been too nervous lately. On the contrary, the nun, who stood opposite Leo without any spiritual energy fluctuations and was no different from ordinary people, looked very calm, turned her head to the female leader and said, and then raised her hand to signal everyone not to be nervous, relieving the surrounding atmosphere, then turned her head, looked at Leo and said: "If you are not so nervous, you should be able to see that this stranger is not one of those parasitic monsters, he is a non-parasitic like us." ”

Hearing the nun's words, everyone's nervousness eased a little, and their gaze at Leo became much kinder, except for the female leader's eyes were still full of suspicion, and it was clear that she did not trust any strange stranger who appeared during this period.

At this time, there was a sudden fierce roar in the distance, and everyone's faces became serious when they heard this roar, and the nun lost her calm just now, and said to Leo: "Please come with me, this is not the place to talk, I think Your Excellency should have a lot of questions in your heart to know, let's go in and say that it will be better." ”

Although the roar was full of intimidation, it was nothing to Leo, and compared to the roar of the leader of the Guha giants who had turned into a volcano, it was almost like the cry of a baby.

However, even though Leo was not afraid of the source of the roar, he did not intend to reveal his power until he figured out the current situation, so after hearing the proposal of the nun, he also nodded, followed the nun, and walked towards the fortress.

The female leader gave an order to his men around her, and followed, clinging to Leo.

The moment the fortress's bone gate closed, Leo paused and looked towards the closed gate. Although it was only a fleeting moment, Leo did feel a special wave of psionic energy, which should have originated from a god.

This discovery also made Leo look at this nun and grandmother differently, because in this era, there are too few church priests who can gain the favor of the gods and give divine powers, and these priests are undoubtedly divine beings, and it is obvious that this ordinary looking nun is also a divine person.

No one who can draw strength from the gods can measure strength or weakness purely by their superficial state, and now this nun may seem to be able to be easily crushed to death, but when she is blessed with divine power, her strength may be able to reach the level of a ninth-level psionic person.

The Afflicted deity is known for its eccentricity, and even the most devout believers in peacetime should expect a response from him, while the average shallow believer can sense his presence when disaster strikes. Despite this, it is undeniable that among the various deities recorded by the Orthodox Church, the power of the deity is still very strong, at least in the records of the Church texts, this deity has never suffered a loss when it comes into conflict with other deities.

Although, the vast majority of the gods in the current Velen world have disappeared, and it is already very good that the remaining gods can maintain ordinary divine graces, but now this place is not the Velen world, and how much divine power the gods can provide to the gods is not something that Leo can deduce now.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but put away his slightly relaxed emotions, and looked at this nun and grandmother no longer as an ordinary religious priest, but as an equal and strong person.

When Leo's mood changed, the nun seemed to feel something, slowed down, turned her head to look at Leo, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Although the outside of the fort does not look very large, the interior is very spacious, and even if the inner space has been framed with wooden shelves to form a three-storey attic complex connected by a drawbridge, it does not look crowded at all.

There were a lot of people living in this small space, and there were thousands of people coming and going in the streets alone, and the attic was several times as many people, which means that there were about 10,000 or 20,000 people living in this fortress built with a line of houses around the tower.

And judging from the traces of living around, it is clear that these people have been living here for a long time, and they do not look like survivors who have just undergone an accident and were forced to gather together.

Seeing this, Leo realized in his heart that he must have misestimated some things and overlooked some key things.

The status of the nun is very high here, and everywhere she goes, the people who are busy with the things at hand, and the children who are frolicking will stop what they are doing and respectfully salute the nun. Leo could feel that all this respect was from the heart, not just superficial etiquette.

It's just that, after showing their respect, they also panicked at Leo who was following the nun and Mama and avoided it, as if Leo had some highly contagious disease, as long as he got it, he would be infected.

"Please don't blame them for being rude, the main thing is that there have been a few strangers who have done some bad things before, which has made their impression of outsiders very bad. As if to avoid any bad misunderstanding caused by the actions of the people around her, the nun slowed down and explained to Leo.

"It doesn't matter, what their attitude is means nothing to me. Leo said coldly.

The nun smiled and said nothing.

"Hmph!" but the female leader who followed behind didn't like Leo's attitude and snorted coldly.
