Chapter 327: Folk Tales
Recovering from his deep hibernation, Leo immediately examined the various traps that had been placed in the house.
Although it is possible to see that there is an invisible force protecting the room that is already inhabited here, Leo thinks that it is better to take control of his own life than to hand over his life to an unknown force whose origin he has not yet figured out.
So, even when he returned to the hut and felt extremely tired, he still bourgeoned himself and carefully arranged some mechanical traps that did not require psionic powers in every part of the house that might become a loophole.
It just so happened that when he was in Miria City and on the ship, a large number of mechanical traps made out of boredom were placed in the storage space, and now they all came in handy.
After a careful inspection, all the traps remained intact, some of the riot rune circles were not touched, and the power inside the circle was intact.
After examining it, Leo looked thoughtfully at the rune circles.
When he set the trap, he accidentally discovered that the Riot Rune Circle could be used in the realm where the psionic suppressor was working, which was an unexpected surprise, and gave him some more means that he could use in battle and peacetime.
Not only the Rune Circle of Riot, Leo also found that as long as the Rune Magic Circle learned from the dream world and did not use psionic energy, but used other powers, such as the power of gluttony, the power of nightmares, the power of the bloodline, and the power of shadows derived from the power of the bloodline, etc., the rune circle could work normally.
It's just that the same magic circle, the magic circle composed of the root of the Gamorey language can't work, in other words, the methods commonly used by wizards in this world can't work here.
When he found out about this situation, he felt very incomprehensible, and he always felt that there were some important things hidden in it, but he was too tired at that time, and the nightmare power on his body was seriously consumed, so he had no way to think normally, so he could only put it aside.
Now that he had checked the traps, he immediately remembered about the rune circle, so he tried again the various Turing roots and the rune circles of the dream world that he had mastered, and in addition to that, he also tried some of the Earth Federation's overt psionic skills.
After much triling, he soon found that as long as he didn't use psionic energy, all the sorcery and rune circles he learned in the Nightmare World could be used normally, and the Demon Hunter's Spell Seal could also be used, but with a little less power.
But none of the extraordinary powers such as witchcraft that he learned in the world could be used, even if he transformed the power that drove witchcraft into the power of nightmares and the power of gluttony.
As for the quasi-spells produced by various psionic powers in his body, he can also use them, such as shadow sorcery, gluttony with gluttonous power, and so on.
If it is just a restriction on psionic energy, it is not a puzzling thing, after all, the function of psionic suppressors is to suppress psionic energy, as long as they are not omega-level higher creatures, they will be affected by the suppressor.
But the problem is that not all psionic energy will be subject to such an almost absolute restriction as the witchcraft of the Velen world, and those open psionic skills of the Earth Federation, such as spiritual vision, spiritual network, etc., are also greatly restricted, but if they are barely used, they can still be used, but the power will be greatly reduced, almost degraded to the level of two or three level psionic beings, or even lower.
Even if the psionic skill is weakened, it can still be cast, but the witchcraft of the Kevillon world cannot be used at all.
Take the same ability as an example, the psionic impact from the Earth Federation can be unleashed, but the power is very small, let alone breaking through a wall, and even the table next to him can't be knocked open, so he can only hit a chair.
Compared to the psionic impact that can also produce effects, the air hammer, which is mixed with the witchcraft of the Velen world, has no effect at all, and it will be immediately dispersed by the surrounding invisible forces as soon as it is cast, and it is not difficult to see from this point that the invisible power that envelops this place is not only the inhibition power generated by the psionic energy suppressor, but also a power that is completely aimed at the witchcraft of Velon.
This is interesting in Leo's opinion, because if there is a man-made force that is completely directed against another artificially generated force, then it means that the source of the two forces must be hostile, which means that the wizards of the Velond world have been here and have had an extremely fierce conflict with the powerful existence here, which has caused such a force that completely rejects the witchcraft of the Velond world.
After speculating about this extreme rejection of witchcraft in the world of Veron, Leo walked over to the bed and sat down, carefully recalling all the books he had seen about wizards, and seeing if there were any clues about the island in those books.
In this way, about an hour passed, Leo combed through all the books and materials related to wizards, and even some folklore, and finally he did get some clues, but these clues did not come from wizards' books and notes, but basic folklore stories, and what is more interesting is that these folk tales are not only in the lake town of Veron and the dream world, but even the folktales of the Earth Federation can be set on this Yam Island.
The Velen World Folk Tale discovered by Leo and the Folk Tale of the Dream World Lake Town are actually the same story, both with the same name wizard and giant, very straightforward, but the content is slightly different.
In this story, a wizard is transported by witchcraft to an island in the sea during a reckless experiment, and on that island there is a kingdom ruled by giants, and the giants are divided into two classes, one is the ancient giants, who live in the black castle on the mountain, and the other is the degenerate giants, who live in the white castle at the bottom of the mountain.
When the wizard arrived at the land of giants, he found that the land of giants had a magical treasure, so he became greedy and wanted to get his hands on the treasures of the kingdom of giants, so he started various interesting battles with the giants.
Before the story progressed to this point, the folktales of the dream world and the world of Veron were almost the same, but then the characters began to fork.
In the folktales in the dream world, the wizard behaved very wise and benevolent, the giant behaved extremely cunning and cruel, the wizard solved the problems created by the giant through wisdom, and did not kill any giant, and finally conquered the giant through kindness and wisdom, and the giant gave the treasure to the wizard himself.
In the world of Velon, the same folk tale is completely different, the giant is honest and loyal, and the wizard is cunning and fierce, he uses trickery to disrupt the kingdom of giants, killing a large number of giants, and finally robbing the giants of their treasures.
Leo prefers to believe the version of the world of Veron, because after all, the town on the lake is ruled by the Wizarding Society, and how can the books there speak ill of wizards.
It's just that Leo doesn't fully believe in the story of the Velonian world, after all, the Velonian world has had an extremely negative impression of wizards for a long time because of the propaganda of the Orthodox Church and the high-level leaders of various countries.
Leo felt that the combination of the two stories should be the true appearance of this story, and the giant country mentioned in the story was probably the giant city where he was now.
Interestingly, both stories end after the wizard obtains the treasure, and there is no mention of whether the wizard left the island where the Giant Realm is located.
As for the few folklore stories of the Earth Federation, it can only be said that they are windfalls, and the authors of these folklore stories are all psykers who often travel in and out of subspace with warships.
After entering the subspace, these psykers all fell into a trance, and there were illusions in front of them, and they found these illusions very interesting, so they wrote down the illusions, re-edited them, and made them into some collections of folk tales.
In these visionary stories, they all mention a black and white giant city built on a volcano, but the difference is that in the visions of some people, the giant city is empty, leaving only empty huge houses, while others see a large number of strange creatures living in the giant city, and several of the specific biological clocks are those that Leo saw earlier on the other half of the island.
After recalling this collection of stories that had been sealed into a useless database by the parabrain system, Leo immediately thought of the subspace wormhole found on the top of the giant tower, although it was just a guess, but he felt that the psionic people who wrote these stories probably entered here in the form of pure psionic spirits, and judging from the fact that they were able to swim in this huge city and those psionic creatures were able to live in the city, there was no psionic suppressor installed here.
But this is also what makes Leo puzzled, because the time when those psykers wrote these storybooks was only a few decades ago, and there was a huge gap between the time he had deduced that the Wycombe Abbey people had landed here and the time when the psionic suppressors were installed, as if the timeline here was completely out of order.
"The timeline is completely out of order!" Leo thought of this, and couldn't help but muttered a guess in his mouth.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the small building, bypassing the traps laid on the ground.
It was daytime, and although there was still a hint of incense in the air around him, it was not very strong, and the ordinary people who had been hiding in the hut and did not dare to come out also took advantage of this time to come out, and talked enthusiastically with others, which was completely different from the indifferent attitude at night.
When Leo walked out of the hut, everyone present was stunned, and their eyes fell on Leo.
"Y-Why are you still alive?" After a moment of silence, the mustache closest to Leo couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, pointed at Leo extremely rudely, and blurted out.
"Why can't I live?" asked Leo coldly.
The mustache took a few steps back timidly, retreated into the crowd, felt a little more confident, and then said: "You, you have been in the house for more than ten days, and even the adults think you are dead." ”
"Ten days?" Leo frowned, he didn't expect that he would rest for such a long time, but he was a little puzzled, because if he really rested for such a long time, then he should feel hungry, but now he didn't feel hungry at all.
After the suspicion arises, Leo ignores the whispers and concerned eyes of the people around him, turns his head to look at the apartment building he walked out of, and then walks back into the small building, waits for a few minutes, and then walks out, looking at the mustache who is still curious about him, and asks, "How long have I been in the apartment just now?"
The mustache was completely puzzled by what Leo was doing, but perhaps because the burly Leo was so oppressive that he answered a time number without even thinking about it.
After hearing the mustache's words, Leo frowned slightly, he just thought that there might be a power that could distort time in the small apartment building where he was staying, so after more than ten days outside, he only stayed in the small building for a short time.
However, the mustache's answer made him realize that he was thinking too much, how could the power of warping time appear around him silently, since the most absurd speculation was denied, then the closest guess to the truth may be that after he visualized the stone throne, the blood was strongly stimulated, and then some unusual physical power was stimulated.
For example, the proportion of energy consumption in the body continues to decline when he enters a state of deep rest, so that he can rely on a small portion of food to support a very long time, just like now.
This guess was the most appropriate answer Leo could think of to explain the current situation, but he didn't know why he believed in the ridiculous answer of warping time in his heart, because it was the only way to explain his previous speculation that the timeline here was all out of order.
Leo pondered for a moment, ignoring the mustache's enthusiastic gesture and walking straight towards the outside of the stone house.
At this time, the mustache behind him tried to stop him, but in the end he did not speak, but watched him go out as if he was watching a good show.
Leo walked to the door of the stone house and was about to step out, when a viscous invisible force suddenly appeared in the air in front of him, making him feel like he was stuck in a pool of maltose, his body was sticky, and it was very difficult to take a step.
Encountering this invisible resistance, Leo did not break through, but controlled his body to take a few steps back, until he couldn't feel this force at all, he stopped retreating, stared at the invisible force in front of him, and frowned slightly.
The crowd around him who was going to watch the show was stunned, because they all thought that Leo would be bounced out by the invisible wall at the door like the other ignorant people, but they didn't expect it to be such a result.
Seeing this, most of the people were just a little curious about Leo, and only a few people showed thoughtful expressions, and the eyes that looked at Leo became a little strange, including the mustache.
