From what they had seen and heard before, Mister and Randall could see that Leo should be the center of the three, and they could also see that Leo must have some extraordinary abilities, the ability to make the sled move itself was definitely not all the abilities of the other party, but even with mental preparation, they were still shocked to see Leo punch a big hole in the lake ice as thick as the city wall.

The power of this punch made them think of the latest cannons produced by the Hanosa Alliance, they had all seen with their own eyes how those cannons slaughtered those monsters from Miria City, and now the power of Leo's fist was definitely not weaker than those cannons.

While Mister and Randall were thinking about the holes in the ice, Leo, who had not been in the water for long, emerged from the water like a fish and landed on the cracked ice, walking towards them while looking at the piece of metal he was holding.

When they walked in front of the group, Mister and Randall's attention was not on the metal piece that Leo had salvaged from the bottom of the lake, but on Leo's clothes, and they were surprised to find that Leo's clothes were dry, and if they hadn't seen Leo jump into the water and get out of the water just now, they would not have believed that the person in front of them had just gone into the water.

Compared to the couple next to them, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha obviously paid more attention to the metal in Leo's hand, and they also saw some strange patterns on the surface of the metal, and these patterns were seen in some prehistoric civilization ruins, whether it was Sylvia or Tessa Mocha.

"What is this?" asked Sylvia, unable to help but be curious.

"A sign. Leo replied briefly, and without waiting for the curious Sylvia to continue asking, he added: "The symbol above is an indication number of the Bugacanso people, the Bugacanso people are a race that loves to number everything, according to this number analysis, the content of this sign is the module of the Seventy-Three Research Center, and the purpose of this module is supposed to be to conduct biological evolutionary research." ”

Although Leo explained, because some of the nouns could not be expressed in French and other languages, they could only be used in the Earth Federation, which also made Sylvia and Tessa Mocha, who were listening on the sidelines, completely unable to understand the meaning of his words, but only knew that the sign was on something else.

Sylvia asked in a confirmed manner, "Is it the fragments that fell from the object that was salvaged by the White Deer Tribe?"

"Hmm. Leo nodded, casually tossed the metal plate he had just salvaged on the ground, and then said to Sylvia, "Let's rest here tonight, and continue on our journey tomorrow." ”

Sylvia and Tessa Mocha both nodded in agreement, and each found a suitable house to rest in, while Leo asked for some dry firewood in the surrounding woods to make a fire.

The two glanced at each other as Mister and Randall were left, and Randall couldn't help but pick up the metal plate that Leo had left on the ground and put it in his pocket.

They didn't understand why Leo hadn't put the piece of metal away, knowing that now in the south, the value of the metal block produced by the remains of this prehistoric civilization could already be sold for a sky-high price, and if the metal plate was sold, the people in their settlement would no longer have to worry about the living expenses.

In addition, the two of them also thought that Leo had salvaged things from the bottom of the lake, so there must be other debris in the lake.

Diving into such a glacial lake to find a piece of metal is extremely difficult for others, but for Mister and Randall, it is very simple, as long as they are well prepared, they can stay in the icy water for a long time.

This is mainly due to the mutation of their bodies that gives them this supernormal ability, in which they gain not only resistance to cold, but also the ability to breathe underwater, that is, behind their ears because of the mutation, which gives them gill-like organs. In normal times, because they were hidden behind their ears and hidden by their hair, they were able to disguise themselves as ordinary people and live in the Hanosa League for a long time, until the people of the church appeared, and they were not exposed.

They've long thought their abilities weren't of much use, at least compared to most of the other mutants in the settlement, but now they're different, and they can use their abilities to salvage metal left over from prehistoric civilizations from this icy lake for money when they need to.

Thinking of this, the two of them are full of hope for the future life of the settlement.

On the other side, Leo and the others quickly found a relatively well-preserved house, the door of this house should have been treated by special methods, even after so many years, it still has not completely decayed, barely able to block the cold wind outside, and the fireplace inside the house is also well preserved, and after cleaning up the thick snow inside, Leo will have cut the pine wood, erect it, and set it on fire.

Soon the house was filled with the characteristic smell of burning pine grease as the tree crackled, and the air around it became warmer, and it was getting dark.

The men boiled some more water, prepared the food, and with the hot food, the warm environment, and the fatigue of the day also invaded, and Mister and Randall ate something, and found a suitable corner by the fire, leaned on each other and fell asleep.

The activities of the day were nothing to Leo and them, they did not have any intention of resting, and sat quietly by the fire and were busy with their own business.

Leo took out a wizard's notebook and flipped through it, and devoted himself to it, sorting out his psionic skills in his mind.

Sylvia was familiar with the Faceless abilities in her body, and after this period of familiarity, she found that although the Faceless's strength was much worse than that of the Abyss Dragon, it didn't mean that the Faceless's strength didn't have any advantages.

In fact, the Faceless's power far exceeds the bloodline power of the Abyss Demon Dragon in terms of change, use, and practicality, especially in this situation where the power in her body is not strong enough, the Faceless's power can bring her more help.

For example, she can transform into anyone she wants through the power of the Faceless, and even be able to imitate the abilities and powers that this person possesses, which Leo is also a little surprised by, because it is very similar to his own nightmare power.

However, soon Leo demonstrated the strength of the Faceless in Sylvia, and he knew that there was still a difference between the power of the Nightmare and the power of the Faceless, and the biggest difference was that there was almost no limit to the power that the Nightmare Power imitated, as long as its own strength was strong enough, and it could be completely imitated if it perceived the details of the opponent's power, while the Faceless One needed to completely contact the other party, and after becoming the other party, through some unknown connection, imitate the power of the other party, and the power of the imitation would be weakened a lot.

Tessa Mocha is also familiar with her current power like Sylvia, as the World Tree seed grows, Tessa Mocha can also sense the growth of her own power, but unlike Sylvia, she is not unable to control her power, in fact, her control of her power is almost perfect, as if these powers have been used by her for many years, the only thing missing is that her skills in using power are a little worse, and now what she needs to do is to increase the various skills of using her power.

Time passed little by little, the wind and snow outside showed no signs of stopping, a large amount of snow piled up at the door, blocking the gate, for which Leo also had to go out to clear the snow, after he cleared the snow at the door for the third time, when he returned to the house, Sylvia suddenly said to Leo: "There is a problem with the mutation of the survivors in Miria City. ”

Sylvia said this inexplicably, leaving Leo and Tessa Mocha stunned, and then Leo asked, "Where did you see that something was wrong?"

"Number of people. Sylvia said bluntly, turned her head to look at Myster and Randall who were in a deep sleep, and said, "They mentioned that Miria City has become a gathering place for mutants, where the mutants have mutated into monsters that have been cobbled together into an army of tens of thousands of people. If it weren't for the Hanosa Alliance's support with a number of powerful weapons, coupled with the natural danger of the Black Forest swamps and the support of the Black Forest Marsh Church, I am afraid it would have fallen. As she spoke, she paused and said, "I have read a lot of documents in the Orthodox Court, even in the most prosperous period of the Evil God Church and the underground church in the Vilun World, the total number of dependents within these churches will definitely not exceed four or five thousand, even if you add those who passively become a certain evil god clan because of accidental contact with things that should not be contacted, the total number will definitely not exceed seven thousand." And now there are tens of thousands of mutated monsters in one Miria City, which is impossible for this kind of thing to happen according to common sense. ”

Hearing this, Leo was silent for a moment and said, "You have forgotten that whether it is the Fran Empire, your Fran United Kingdom, or organizations such as medical schools and cults, they have all done various experiments with refugees and survivors in Miria City. ”

Sylvia fell silent after a while, and then said, "I didn't know that their experiments were used to create clans. ”

Leo didn't comfort Sylvia, because he knew very well that Sylvia must know something, she just didn't care, and she didn't expect it to turn out in advance.

Among those who experimented with Miria refugees, there were malicious people like the Fran Empire and blood wizards, and there were also well-wishers who hoped to improve the quality of the human body through this kind of family bloodline, after all, after the appearance of the great plague in Miria City, improving physical fitness, treating diseases, and living were the only thoughts of everyone, including the experimentees, who could imagine what would happen in the future.

If there is no mutation in the world of Velon, those Miria refugees and survivors who have been used as experiments by various forces may not have physical mutations in this life, and maybe even because of these experiments, their bodies will become very strong and live a long life, but now a mutation of the whole world suddenly appears, exposing all the drawbacks, I am afraid that even the people and organizations involved in this matter cannot predict this situation.

"Is there a way to reverse this mutation?" asked Sylvia, reproaching herself.

"It's impossible to reverse. This time it was not Leo who answered, but Tessa Mocha, who seemed to know something, and said, "The appearance of these mutant clans is not accidental, they are part of the important force that drives the transformation of the world, unless you have the power to reverse the whole world, you can't change all this." ”

"What do you know?" Sylvia frowned and looked at Tessa Mocha with displeasure.

"I don't know anything. Tessa Mocha shook her head and said, "I didn't say that. ”

Sylvia was stunned when she heard this, and quickly thought of another consciousness that Tessa Mocha had generated after fusing the World Tree Seed, and asked, "Didn't you say that? But you didn't have that kind of change just now......

"It's true that she didn't say it, it was the consciousness of the World Tree Seed just now. Leo affirmed Tessa Mocha's statement, if there was no World Tree Mark, Leo might not be able to tell who said that sentence just now, but with the World Tree Mark, then as long as Tessa Mocha's other consciousness floated up, he could sense it immediately.

Tessa Mocha looked at Leo with some doubts, she didn't know that Leo had the World Tree mark in his body, so she thought that Leo had some kind of way to distinguish between two consciousnesses.

"How would it know about these things?" asked Sylvia, questioning.

Tessa Mocha said in an unquestioning tone: "The World Tree makes up this world, and this world is just a small piece of the World Tree's canopy, and the World Tree naturally knows what is happening here and what will happen. ”

Seeing Tessa Mocha like this, Sylvia did not refute the statement that the World Tree constituted the world, because she had already tried it in the past two days, and Tessa Mocha in front of her would not listen to any rebuttal from her at all.

With the further fusion of the World Tree Seed by Tessa Mocha, she gained great power, but at the same time, she also began to have an inexplicable change in her thinking, gradually changing from a witch who believed in the way of nature and shamanic teachings to a true believer who believed in the World Tree, and even on the road in the past few days, she refuted all the various doctrines and legends of the various churches in the Velen World about the origin of the world, and then threw out a World Tree founding theory.

If it weren't for Tessa Mocha not showing any abnormality, Sylvia would have wondered if the other party's consciousness had been infected by the evil god.
