Chapter 232: Accidents, Accidents, and Accidents
The man who appeared in the camp commander's tent was none other than Vasqui, who was next to the old man Rembrandt.
Over the years, Vasqi has also undergone great changes, not only in her increasingly mature and cold-eyed appearance, but also in her increasingly obvious family deviant features, such as the addition of three prismatic silver scales in the center of her eyebrows, in addition to the gills behind her ears.
These three fish scales have been deliberately camouflaged, so that those who see it will only feel that this is an exotic ornament, this kind of costume will not only not destroy Vasqi's original beauty, but will make her appearance more gorgeous, adding a strange beauty.
However, under Leo's spiritual network perception, the three prismatic scales were not just decorations, they were more of a natural wizard curiosity, and their effect should be to amplify spiritual energy. According to Leo's estimate, one scale can double the psionic energy, so three scales are equivalent to making Vasqi's psionic energy triple enhanced, according to Vasqi's current psionic level, her strength is probably close to or even the level of a fifth-level psionic person.
It is precisely because of these three eye-catching scales that Leo finally confirmed the identity and origin of Vasqi's family.
Back then, Leo saw a book on the types of dependents from Old Man Rembrandt, published by a sage of the Night's Watch, this book was mainly used to teach newcomers to the Night's Watch Organization, and was not released to the public, and Old Man Rembrandt also got a copy from the Night's Watch through some means.
In that book, not only did he list in detail the origins and characteristics of some of the main clans, but he also divided them into high and low, strong and weak, and superior and disadvantaged.
In general, the Dependents are all human beings who have been infected by the power of the gods, and in a certain sense, the priests, priests, and priests of the Orthodox Church who have gained spiritual energy by perceiving the presence of the gods can also be counted among the Dependents.
But because of the types and camps of the gods, the family is divided into the family of the positive god and the family of the evil god, according to the origin of the gods, it is divided into the ancient god family, the family of the outer god, and there are also more detailed types of division of the gods, and there are more than 150 kinds of family programs in this way of division and rough calculation.
However, one of the clans is not classified into these clan categories, but is classified into a separate category, and this category is also the clan that the Night's Watch organization focuses on monitoring and hunting, and this kind of clan is the bloodline clan.
Almost the vast majority of the dependents in the Velun world are human beings who have suffered from the infection of the power of the gods and gods, causing bloodline mutations, but there are still a small number of dependents who have directly inherited the flesh and blood of the gods, from the dependents who caused the bloodline mutations, this kind of dependents are bloodline dependents.
Almost all of the bloodline clans have very ancient origins, and their earliest families can even be traced back to the mythical period hundreds of thousands of years ago, and these families were all priest families who served the ancient gods for life without exception.
These priest families were just ordinary people at the beginning, but a certain generation of ancestors suddenly got the flesh and blood given by the gods they believed in, and thus transformed into the gods and spirits, but at that time they did not call themselves dependents, but called them gods or gods, and the powerful families were called demigods.
Different from the strange mutated organs of other ordinary families, the mutated organs of these bloodline families are almost fixed, which has become a hallmark to identify this type of family.
Like the mutation of the gill organ on Vasqi's body, this kind of mutated organ is almost shared by most of the water god families, the most famous of which is naturally the deep diver who is deeply entangled with the royal family of the Inge Kingdom, and the Naga who assisted the Sigma Kingdom to dominate the ocean back then is also a family that is famous in the world, but the vast majority of people just listen to this kind of rumor as a strange talk and don't take it seriously.
What really separates Vasqi from the rest of the common clan is the three scales, these three scales are also called the mark of the gods, and only the sons of Dagon with the purest blood can inspire these three scales through the bloodline.
In the mythology of the world of Velon, Dagon is one of the oldest gods in the world, he is called the god of the sea and the god of the abyss, his personality is as moody as the ocean and as undetectable as the abyss. In the list of gods and spirits of the Orthodox Church, Dagon is neither classified as an evil god nor as a righteous god, so Dagon's dependents, whether it is the Orthodox Church or the Night's Watch organization, rarely hunt and kill him because of his family status, but more to investigate the behavior of Dagon's family members to decide on future actions.
When Leo first read the introduction of Dagon in the book, he was both surprised and felt that it made sense. Because there is also the Dagon faith in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and this belief is not only in the old Earth era of the Earth Federation, but even some other thousands of civilizations in the universe, large and small, also have Dagon beliefs with similar names and contents.
Therefore, many psionics believe that Dagon is likely to be a life form that transcends the omega level and enters a higher form of high-latitude life.
Because there was a precedent, Leo was not surprised to see the god Dagon in the books of the Veron World, but felt that the Velonn World might be the same universe as the universe he was in.
It is precisely because of his attention to Dagon that Leo also remembered some information about Dagon's family, which also enabled him to immediately judge that Vasqi was a very rare son of Dagon after perceiving Vasqi's situation through the spiritual network.
However, Leo was more curious about why Vasqi was here than he was about Son of Dagon, rather than following Rembrandt.
Leo still remembered that he knew from Sylvia that Old Man Rembrandt was now archaeological in the ruins of an ancient civilization somewhere in the Moisan Continent, and in terms of the danger of the primitive world in the Moisan Continent, Vaschi should have been by the Old Man Rembrandt's side to protect him, why did he appear in the military camp of the French Empire?
You must know that the relationship between the old man Rembrandt and Louis X can be said to be mortal enemies, as the closest person to the old man Rembrandt, Vaschi can be said to know all the secrets of the old man Rembrandt, and she is talking so harmoniously with a military camp commander who has real power in the French Empire at the moment, which makes Leo can't help but wonder about the content of their conversation.
It's just that Vaschi has already used some spell-like spiritual energy in the tent to block the transmission of sound, plus her psionic level has also reached level four, and her perception is extremely powerful, if the spiritual network is close, it is likely to be perceived, so Leo didn't probe too deeply into the tent, and even just used the spiritual net to probe it just now, and immediately withdrew it, and the time was so short that Vasqi didn't have time to perceive.
However, Leo did not just wait outside the tent and meet Vaschi when he came out, but walked to the camp of a nearby commander and adjutant, and before the adjutant could react, he directly used the Yaksi Fayin to control the other party's sanity.
"Who is the lady in the Commander's tent right now, what are you doing here?" Leo asked bluntly after controlling the other man's sanity.
"The Night Lady is the Commander's advisor and assists the Commander in ......%*&*%*()&*. The adjutant replied, but quickly, as if he had encountered some obstacle, did not continue, but uttered a bunch of words that he did not understand at all.
Seeing this, Leo immediately asked the lieutenant to stop and did not continue to ask the question, apparently Vaschi had left something in the lieutenant's mind that would be triggered when he was asked certain questions, resulting in the result of gibberish.
Seeing that he couldn't ask for information related to Vasqi from the adjutant's mouth, Leo changed the target of the inquiry and asked, "What does the commander have to do with the medical school?"
This time, the adjutant was not disturbed and said directly: "Partnership." ”
"What's the matter with cooperation?" asked Leo.
The adjutant was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”
Although the adjutant gave the answer, Leo sensed that this answer was not the correct answer, and the other party had apparently counteracted part of the power of the Yaksi Fayin through some force at the moment of answering, and said a wrong answer.
Seeing this, Leo knew that the Commander's cooperation with the Medical Academy had been sealed and could not be revealed, just like Vaschi's identity information.
But Leo didn't stop asking, but changed the target of the inquiry and asked, "What experiments did the medical school do in the old mines?"
"Make gods. This time, the adjutant did not hesitate and directly said the answer.
Leo asked another question that was important to him, "Is the Ring of Plague in the hands of the Medical School?"
"In the pit. The adjutant replied.
Hearing this answer, Leo was stunned, and then he thought of the scene in the old pit barracks before, as if someone had found something in the depths of the mine, and then Sir Darwin led people into the pit.
Leo couldn't help but have a hint of suspicion, and said to himself, "Didn't the medical school give up on the plan of the Plague Ring, and was ready to use the people who now occupy the pit to spread the plague?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and picked up the psionic pistol that Sylvia had lent him and aimed it at the outside of the tent.
After a while, Leo suddenly looked outside the tent and asked, "How did you find out that something was wrong here?"
"You've touched the prohibition I left behind, and I'm so close that I can feel it. I only heard Vaschi's unique cold voice from outside the tent, and said.
Leo put the psionic pistol down, and the psychic net sensed that there was no one else around the tent except Vaskey, so he said, "Come in! I think we have something to talk about." ”
Vasqi was obviously also very confident in his own strength, and without knowing who the people in the tent were, he lifted the curtain of the door alone and walked in. It's just that when she saw Leo waiting in the tent clearly, her whole person was stunned, and her expression was as full of shock, surprise, and more doubt and disbelief as if she had seen an absurd scene that she had never seen before.
"Y-How could you still be alive?" Vaschi asked after a long time of returning to normal, completely losing his composure.
"How could I not be alive?" asked Leo rhetorically.
"No, you weren't...... , 9 Golden Oak Street......" Vaschi denied it, but was still a little incoherent, and finally didn't know what to say, so he simply repeated the previous sentence and said, "How can you still be alive?"
Leo raised his hand to knock the adjutant unconscious, then pointed to the chair in the tent, and said, "Don't worry, we should have enough time to speak slowly, I have a lot of questions for you, and I believe you also have a lot of questions for me." ”
Vaschi listened to Leo's words like a puppet at the moment, walked to the chair and sat down, his eyes always looking at Leo, as if he wanted to see some flaws in Leo, to prove that the man in front of him was not the fool who entered 9 Golden Oak Street alone.
After confirming that the person in front of him was not a disguise of some side-shaped monster, nor was he a similar-looking person, Vasqi couldn't help but have a strong doubt in his heart, and asked, "Where have you been? Did you find the feather?"
This question is not a difficult question to answer, but Leo seems to have heard something different after hearing it, looked at Vaschi, was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Do you know the waste capital?"
"Waste capital?" Vaschi was stunned and puzzled: "I don't know what waste capital?"
Leo felt that Vaschi's words were not disguised, and he really didn't know about the waste capital, so he asked again, "What about Silvermoon Lake?"
Vaschi looked at Leo blankly, obviously not knowing what the place Leo was talking about.
However, just as Leo dispelled the doubts in his heart, Vaschi suddenly said, "The place you went to from No. 9 Golden Oak Street is called the Waste Capital and Silver Moon Lake, isn't it the end of the gods?
When Vaschi's words fell, Leo's face also showed the expression on Vasqi's face just now, but the emotion on his face was not so strong, and he quickly controlled it, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know Wang Cheng?"
Vasqi's face also had no look of doubt, and the only thing left was a feeling of admiration, and he said, "It seems that you really went to the Ashes King City, and you came back safely." ”
Although there was a difference between the name of the place that Vasqi was talking about and the name of the place that Leo knew, Leo was sure that the two were the same place, because according to the information provided by the expeditionaries, the ruins of the royal city were indeed covered in endless ashes, and it would not be wrong to call it the Ash King.
At this time, Leo also thinks back to what happened after meeting Old Man Rembrandt, and he realizes that he has overlooked many details worth pondering in the past, such as why Old Man Rembrandt knew about the feathers in the ruined capital. And now it seems that the answer has been found, the old man Rembrandt, and even the Vaschi in front of him have entered the ruined capital, and even been to the royal city, and have seen the so-called feathers that have nothing to do with feathers in his storage space now.
"It looks like we all have a lot of questions to ask. Leo reached out and moved a chair across from Vaschi, sat down and said in a deep voice.
