Everything around seemed very calm, everything was so quiet, except for the snoring of people after falling asleep, there was no sound around.

It's just that even the guards who kept vigil fell into a deep sleep one by one, and there was obviously something wrong with this calm.

Leo stepped out of the pack cart and walked around the camp, he walked very slowly, and checked all the tents, not only with the spirit net, but also inside the tent to take a closer look at the sleeping conditions of the people. He noticed that all but the two unconscious young men had fallen into a deep sleep during the day, and that if he looked at them with his vision, he could see that they all had a ring-shaped mark on their foreheads.

It's just strange that Leo wasn't able to feel any power from this mark, whether it was a psychic web or paranormal perception, and he found any clues in these people that caused them to fall asleep.

In addition, he also tried to use the eyes of the abyss serpent, but the result was still nothing, there was no trace of abyss power in the ancient castle, but there was an abyss power gathering in the forest outside the city, and it could be found through spiritual vision that the abyss power was gathering because the group of escaped pythons were choosing a new king.

After removing the influence of the power of the abyss, Leo carefully checked the surrounding situation, and the result was still nothing, and there was no abnormality at all.

Just as Leo was puzzled by the current situation, he suddenly felt a faint movement in the tattoo on his back, which came from the Book of Nightfall, a copy of the Night God's sigh and the source of the Nightmare's power.

Because there are too many divine imprints on his body, although Leo restricts these divine imprints, these divine imprints still produce some energy fluctuations that have no meaning, so that Leo often subconsciously ignores these energy fluctuations.

However, the energy fluctuations emitted by the nightmare tattoo behind him were completely different from those meaningless, irregular scattered fluctuations, and the fluctuations it emitted were regular, like some kind of signal wave.

After discovering this situation, Leo also had some guesses in his mind, and mobilized the power of the nightmare to channel it into the vision.

With the infusion of nightmare power, the scene Leo saw in front of him immediately changed uncertainly, only to see that the sky was no longer pitch black, but turned silver-blue, and the surrounding area was no longer a ruined castle crawling with vines, but an intact castle, and at this moment, in the council hall at the top of the upper castle, which should have been destroyed, bursts of gray-blue light shone brightly, and from the light extended tentacles like pipes.

The tentacles fell from the sky, piercing through all obstacles and landing on everyone's forehead, and the tip of the tentacle was a sucker-like thing, clinging to the forehead, which is where Leo's previous vision saw the ring imprint came from.

In the entire camp, only the two people who were unconscious before did not have tentacles on their foreheads, because there was still a trace of abyssal power left on their bodies, and this trace of abyssal power prevented the tentacles from approaching.

This is not to represent how powerful the power of the abyss is, it is just that the power represented by the tentacles is extremely disgusted with the power of the abyss, just like a normal person would not be interested in a piece of on the ground, or even reach out to touch it.

After discovering the situation, Leo quickly had a way to rescue these people in the caravan, in fact, it was very simple, that is, to imitate those two young people, and give each of them a little abyss power, which should be able to make those tentacles spontaneously separate.

However, Leo didn't do that, he didn't know if the situation would change after letting the tentacles separate, and he was more interested in the situation in the council chamber of the upper castle than in saving the caravan.

So, Leo walked up the stone steps to the upper castle and walked towards the council chamber.

Leo remembers checking the chamber during the day, when he found an Abyssal Mark, which he didn't pay attention to because he had already found the Abyssal Mark in other rooms.

Thinking about it now, he felt that this Abyss Mark was different from other Abyss Marks, the other Abyss Marks were damaged, but most of the damage was due to the wear and tear of the years and the growth of vines, and the damage was not very serious, except for the Abyss Mark in the Council Hall, which was the most damaged.

The abyssal mark of the council hall is a fragment formed by the impact of an external force, and a large number of cracks are all over the mark, completely destroying the mark, if it weren't for Leo's very familiarity with this abyss mark, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find out that this is an abyss mark from a broken road.

Obviously, this Abyss Mark had clashed with a certain force that eventually caused the destruction of the Abyss Mark, and this force was likely to be the force that caused the Nightmare Power to fluctuate abnormally in the Council Hall now.

Soon, Leo was in front of the chamber, which was completely dilapidated during the day, the roof had fallen off, and the door was long gone, except for a broken arched door frame.

But now Leo's meeting hall is intact, just like the newly built one, the gate made of solid wood, the outside is inlaid with a layer of bronze skin that exudes golden light, and the surface is engraved with the stories of some legendary heroes.

Leo paused in the doorway for a moment, checking his equipment, and then stepped forward and forcefully backed away from the door.

As soon as the door opened, a commotion came from inside, mixed with some ancient music from the Kingdom of Mares, and the aroma of wine and barbecue, and a grand banquet that was being held appeared in Leo's eyes.

I saw that the people who participated in the banquet were all people wearing the armor of ancient Mares, including ordinary warriors in simple leather armor, and noble knights dressed in gorgeous prices, at this moment they all put their identities aside, and drank and feasted happily, and when the meat on the table was finished, a servant would bring a basin again, and when the wine in the cup was drunk, a servant would fill it again, and they were completely immersed in the cheerful banquet, and even an outsider like Leo did not know that he had entered.

Leo was slightly stunned when he saw everything in front of him, because in his eyes and in the spiritual network, everything in front of him was real, everyone was alive, the food and wine on the table were real, and he also found that there was an invisible force around him that was affecting his mind, making him agree that everything in front of him was real.

Thankfully, however, the nightmare power in his body is extremely resistant to the effects of this invisible force, allowing him to stay awake at all times.

Leo's gaze swept around the council chamber and landed on the Armored Knight, who sat at the head of the chamber.

The armor on this knight's body is the most gorgeous in the entire council chamber, the armor is made of composite armor pieces, each piece of armor can move freely, and will not bring any action to the wear, the surface of the armor is also engraved with exquisite patterns, coupled with the matching lion helmet, making this armor look more like a beautiful work of art than a defensive weapon.

Leo paid attention to this knight for the first time, because he had seen this set of armor in a book called the world-famous armor, this set of armor is called lion scale armor, it is said that each piece of armor in this set of armor needs to be repeatedly extracted with the essential oil extracted from an adult scale lion, which is said to make each piece of armor have the defense power of an adult scale lion.

The problem is that this set of lion-scale armor is now in the collection of the Military Museum of the Kingdom of Mares, and there is simply no way that there is a second such armor in the outside world.

And what's more interesting is that the last owner of this set of armor is Frans Jekun, the last member of the Jakun family, and this Frans Jekun is also the supreme general of the castle who died in the sneak attack, when he came here to take up the post did not wear the family heirloom armor, so when he died, this set of armor was taken away by his creditor, knowing that it later fell into the hands of the Maris Kingdom Government and became the collection of the Kingdom Museum.

Now that this suit of armor was here, and it was worn on a knight, Leo instantly guessed that the identity of this person was probably Frans Jew.

In addition to the armor, another reason why Leo noticed this knight was the nightmare power in his body, and he found that a power in the council chamber that caused the nightmare power to induce it was in the knight, and this power should be the source of all the scenes in front of him and the tentacles outside the house.

After discovering the source, Leo didn't stop, but walked directly towards the knight, and then stood in front of the man.

The other party seemed to be a dead man who did not react to the person standing in front of him, but Leo took his eyes off the knight at the moment and landed on a book placed on the knight's lap.

Originally, Leo thought that the source of his power was in the knight, but now it seemed to come from this book, and although the book was vague in his eyes, he could feel that the book had similar energy fluctuations as the Book of Nightfall.

"Is this another spin-off of the Night God's Sigh, or is it a fragment of the Night God's Sigh?" Leo immediately had some thoughts in his mind when he saw the book, and then reached out to pick up the book.

However, his hand passed through the book that felt real to him, and landed on the knight's body, and the knight's body completely dissipated and disappeared under his touch, as if it were made of dust, and the book that could not be picked up fell to the ground.

At that moment, all the voices in the entire council chamber stopped, and the chamber fell silent.

Leo turned to look around, and saw that everyone was still in place at the moment, some still holding wine glasses and food in their hands, and a few of the jugglers were jumping in the air, and their bodies were all fixed in the air.

And just as Leo's gaze fell on these people, their heads also turned sharply, and some of them even turned their backs to him, and their heads were turned directly one hundred and eighty degrees, and the eyes on these people's heads were all as black as ink, as empty as the deep universe, but he could feel the gaze projected on him from these empty eyes.

"What is this, hostility?" If it were an ordinary person who would only be frightened by this situation, Leo felt a little bored and ridiculous.

At this moment, all the people collapsed to the ground like melting candles, and then quickly gathered in the middle of the hall like soft mud, and soon gathered into a large mass.

And Leo didn't just stand in place stupidly, he quickly drove the psionic energy, used the thunder spear skill, and quickly condensed a thunderbolt in his right hand, and the power contained in the spear is still strengthening with the operation of the psionic energy.

At this time, that large mass of soft mud had condensed into a monster with a huge body and countless tentacles, but his form had not yet completely condensed, and most places still showed soft mud.

At this time, Leo did not continue to strengthen the thunder gun in his hand, and directly threw the thunder gun in his hand towards the monster.

The speed of the thunder spear was extremely unexpected, almost in a flash, and it pierced into the monster's body almost in a flash, and the huge thunderstorm instantly dispersed, encompassing the monster in it, separating and collapsing, leaving only a pile of ashes and a strong smell of burning.

Although the monster disappeared, the electric thunder produced by the thunderstorm was not over, but spread rapidly as if along some invisible wire, and soon covered the entire council chamber, and everything inside the council hall burned like a set of curtains on fire, turning into ashes, and the original real, ruined council hall also emerged.

At this moment, the last thunderbolt fell on the book in front of Leo, and Leo seemed to hear an extremely terrible scream, and then the whole book collapsed, leaving only three pages to fall to the ground.

Although everything has been restored to its original state, Leo did not rush to pick up the pages on the ground, he carefully used various methods to probe the situation of the three pages, and only after feeling no danger did he reach out to pick up the pages, and when he went to pick up the pages, he also placed the power of nightmares on the palm of his hand in case there was any accident.

However, the moment his hand touched the page, the page instantly turned to ashes, as if the power of the thunder gun just now had completely destroyed the page.

But Leo knew it wasn't like that, because he felt some itching in his back just as the pages were ruined.

He then took off his clothes and used his psionic energy to create a mirror behind him, and saw the tattoo on the back, and found that the tattoo on the back was slowly changing, turning into nine intertwined rings, and of the nine rings, only one of the rings looked more solid, and the other rings all looked very empty, as if they would dissipate at any time.
