Chapter 677: Man-Made Calamity

Curious, Leo also began to analyze the blasphemous reliefs in the room.

There is no doubt that whether it is on the wall or on the ceiling, these reliefs that will be shown to others are carved very rigorously, in strict accordance with the dogmatic requirements of the King of the Hill, and anyone who sees such a relief will definitely think that the person who lives here is an extremely devout believer in the King of the Hill.

But on the ground, where the carpet might have been hidden at the time, all the reliefs were distorted and chaotic, and the crest of the King of the Hill was covered with twisted patterns, and in the middle of each pattern were some strange words that made people feel disgusted when they looked at them, and it felt like some kind of blasphemy.

However, if attention is only drawn to the distorted and chaotic shapes on the surface of these reliefs, it is easy to miss the real mystery hidden in the reliefs.

Now, for example, Leo has discovered that there is a dark line in the relief pattern that connects a large number of those strange characters together to form a new pattern, which is also nested with the emblem of the King of the Hill.

With the knowledge gained from the Abyssal Serpent's Eyeball, Leo knew that this pattern represented a mysterious being at the bottom of the Abyss, and its function was similar to the emblem of the King of the Hill.

It's just that unlike the Holy Emblem of the King of the Hill, this pattern itself has some magical effects, even if this pattern is only drawn by ordinary people, it can still produce some supernormal power.

It's just that this kind of power is not a very good power, because if you are affected by this power for a long time, people's minds will subtly change, become distorted, become chaotic, and finally completely infected by the power of the abyss, and turn into abyssal creatures.

Leo crouched down and groped for the ground, and found that there was some powder in the crevices of the reliefs that looked like stone powder, which was mainly used to fill in the gaps in the restoration of the building, and the skilled craftsmen were able to use this stone powder to repair the damage in the building so that it was not visible at all.

This discovery also gave Leo a new idea in his mind, that is, the clergy who lived in this room was probably also a victim, someone carved these abyss marks on the ground, and then let the high-ranking clergy of the Hill King live in, and finally used the power of the mark to pull it into the abyss little by little.

This also reminded Leo of the legendary massacre that took place in the castle, and now it seems that there is something else going on in that massacre.

While discovering the secret of the floor of the room, Leo also discovered the reason for the two young men's coma, as he had guessed before, the two young people's coma was indeed related to his elimination of the python.

The abyssal marks on the floor of this room have long been destroyed due to the wear and tear of thousands of years, plus the squeezing damage caused by the growth of vines, and they are no longer able to exert the power to influence people.

But when Leo killed the python in the forest, the forest that was in a symbiotic relationship with the python was also harmed, and produced some abnormal energy fluctuations, which would not affect ordinary people or ordinary transcendentals, but would have a connection with things with abyssal power, and the abyssal mark on the ground that had expired was one of them, so these abyss marks should have regenerated some power at that time, and then affected the two young people.

In order to confirm his suspicion, Leo tried to use the eyes of the Abyss Serpent to sense the abyssal power in the room, and as he expected, there was indeed a very faint abyssal force in the room, and there was no doubt that it was this force that caused the two young men to fall unconscious.

"Are you ......" At this moment, several caravan guards walked in from outside, it seemed that they should also be here to find the reason for the coma of the two young men, when they saw Leo, several people were stunned for a moment, and instinctively put their hands on the weapons on their waists, but soon they recognized Leo and said, "You are the foreigner, why are you here?"

"Curious. Leo replied very simply.

"Curious?" Several of the guards were stunned for a moment, not expecting Leo to give such an answer, and then the leader among them couldn't help but be annoyed: "This gentleman, there are now two children lying unconscious in the camp because of this damn curiosity, I don't want Your Excellency to do anything because of this damn curiosity and cause us more trouble!"

Leo was not annoyed by the guards' rebuke, but just smiled, walked past several caravan guards, and left the room.

For him, the mysteries in that room had been almost explored, everything that should have been found had been found, and there was only one mystery that had not yet been answered, and that was the cause of the death of the people who stayed here overnight in their sleep.

Although the abyss mark on the ground of the house just now caused the two children to fall into a coma in an instant, it can only be regarded as an example, with the power of those abyssal marks in the room, only staying in that room for a long time can have an impact effect, and those who stay here overnight can only camp in the square below, and the stay time will not be very long, at most a day or two, so the abyss mark in the room is impossible to produce the legendary effect of being comatose to death.

However, Leo can now be sure that everything here has to do with the abyss, and the question is what escaped from the abyss thousands of years ago.

In Leo's mind and the knowledge related to the abyss, there are many terrifying monsters from the abyss that can cause many people to fall into the madness of killing, and there are also many that can make people fall into nightmares and die in nightmares, and almost all abyssal monsters can produce abyssal radiation, which can affect and transform the things around them.

Therefore, Leo still has too few clues to help him analyze the accurate answer.

Leo did not immediately return to the camp, but searched carefully in the other rooms of the upper castle, and found similar abyss marks in the council hall of the upper castle, in the room where the castle supreme general lived, and in the single room of the castle knight, and these abyss marks in the clergyman's room were damaged, and the damage was more serious, it can be said that it was completely damaged.

Fortunately, these abyssal marks were completely damaged, otherwise the two young people who would not have been in a coma would have been the only ones.

When Leo searched the room, he met the guards again, only this time they didn't blame Leo again, but with a gloomy face, they looked at Leo and turned to leave.

After carefully searching the upper castle on one side, Leo did not stay any longer, and returned to the tent in the camp, carefully sorting through the various information he had gathered.

Obviously, this castle hides one or more Abyssal Believers, and their status is very high, which can influence the construction process of the ancient castle.

Judging from various circumstances, this ancient castle should not have been completely built at the beginning, it should have been only the lowest pass and the middle square at the beginning, and then the barracks and living quarters on the middle floor were built, and the upper castle should have been specially built for these high-rise buildings after the Maris Kingdom began to pay attention to the ancient salt railway and began to send nobles and knights.

When the upper castle was built, there must have been people in the upper echelons of the castle who wanted to use the power of the abyss to corrupt these high-level people, and as for its purpose, if you think about it, it was probably to provoke a war between Savile and Mares.

If, according to normal circumstances, after the massacre of the Kasbah a thousand years ago, no matter who survived in the end, it should cause a major war between the two countries, and if it is operated in secret, it is not impossible that the big war will become a big melee for the entire Minsk continent.

However, the problem is that the abyssal believer's prediction of provoking a war was based on the time when the construction of the upper castle had just begun, but the changes in the world were far beyond ordinary people's expectations, and who would have thought that the kingdoms of Mares and Savile would soon open a more convenient and faster trade route in the south, so that this ancient salt railway would soon fall into decline and become a paradise for smugglers.

It is precisely because of the decline of the ancient salt railway that the nobles and knights who were stationed here are not important figures, and they may even be losers in the power struggle, and their life and death are not so important to the Maris Kingdom.

So much so that the massacre ended up just causing some verbal arguments between the two countries, and it never caused any unusual fluctuations.

Although the person who arranged the castle back then failed to achieve the real purpose, his arrangement really summoned something from the abyss, thus giving rise to the legend of the castle that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It's just that he can't figure out what this thing that came out of the abyss is, because he has carefully checked it with the eyes of the abyss serpent in the ancient castle just now, and he has not found any noteworthy abyss power, which means that the abyssal creatures that were entrenched here back then have either moved to other places, or have been captured by the god of Quincy Snow Mountain.

Compared with the previous guess, Leo felt that the latter guess was more reliable, because the scene he saw that night, the change in the abyss of the fallen abyss after the god of Quincy Snow Mountain could not be elevated, was undoubtedly the best evidence.

Just as Leo was thinking about the castle, the caravan's director Gusan found Leo and asked expectantly, "Mr. Leo, did you find any clues in your investigation on the castle just now?"

"Yes. Leo didn't deny it and nodded.

Gu Sang hurriedly asked again: "Then those two little guys in our caravan, are they still saved?"

Leo thought for a moment and said, "Bring them here, I can save them." ”

Hearing Leo's words, Gusan was immediately overjoyed, and after thanking him again and again, he immediately asked the two young men to be carried over.

Leo didn't use any dazzling techniques to treat the two, just let go of the prohibition of the abyss snake's eyeballs, sensed the situation of the two, cleaned up the extremely weak abyss power in the two people's bodies, and then adjusted the frequency of the electrical impulses of the cranial nerves of the two through spiritual energy, and in the eyes of outsiders, he just touched the foreheads of the two, and the painful and hideous expressions of the two young people were quickly relieved.

The management of the caravan who followed the two young men all let out a slight exclamation at this, although they had already possessed the kind of wood carving with magical powers from Leo before, and thought that Leo might also be the kind of person with special powers, but after all, they had not seen any evidence with their own eyes, so they were only suspicious.

And now after seeing Leo's movements, all the doubts in their hearts are gone, and all that remains is awe of Leo.

"They'll wake up tomorrow, just like a normal sleep, and there will be no other problems. After Leo had solved the trouble of the two young men in the caravan, he spoke briefly, and then motioned for everyone to leave.

Gusan hurriedly asked, "May I ask Mr. Leo, there will be no problem for us to continue to rest here tonight, right?"

Leo thought for a moment, didn't give a positive answer, and said, "I don't know. ”

With that, he went back to the tent, not thinking of dealing with these people.

The reason why he didn't tell Gu San a positive answer was because he was really not sure if the castle was safe, after all, there were still a lot of abyssal powers hidden in the forest outside the castle, and he couldn't be sure whether the abyssal power in the forest would extend along the vines and plants into the castle after night.

The caravan men left Leo's pack cart with trepidation, and instead of leaving the castle, they stayed and continued to rest, but they slightly changed the number and frequency of the caravan escort's night patrols to ensure that anyone could detect and warn them of any unusual occurrences.

Because Leo's actions to rescue the two young men were not concealed or concealed, news soon spread that Leo was a man with magical powers.

Despite this, this did not cause any trouble for Leo, and the people in the caravan were more in awe of Leo, and they did not dare to get too close to Leo's packer, even if they passed by the packer, it was light-hearted, but it made his surroundings cleaner.

Soon the day passed, and the castle was shrouded in night, because the events of the day made many people recall the legend of the castle, and their hearts were full of worry and fear, and they did not dare to sleep for a long time.

However, it was difficult for their tense nerves to last long, and when the time entered the middle of the night and they did not notice anything unusual, the fatigue caused by the tense nerves quickly spread throughout their bodies, and they could not support themselves, and fell asleep in their respective tents.

Silence had relapsed into the camp, and only the chattering of the caravan guards who were responsible for the vigil could be heard.

After about another or so disappeared, I don't know if there was nothing to say, and the conversation of the guards outside was gone, but at this time Leo inside the tent opened his eyes, recovered from his closed eyes and recuperated, and came to the outside of the pack cart, and looked around.
