Chapter 235: Divine Prison
Although Vaschi disrupted their plans in order to prevent Leo from continuing to investigate, seemingly openly and honestly told Leo about their plans, and also told the whereabouts of the Plague Ring, Leo knew very well that Vasqi's plans for him were not complete. For example, the follow-up means of those old imperial nobles, such as the follow-up arrangements of these calculated imperial soldiers, and so on.
However, Leo didn't care, in his opinion, the success of the plan implemented by Vaschi and others had nothing to do with him, and as long as he didn't ask for trouble, he shouldn't be affected.
The only one who was a little worried about him at the moment was another person, so he couldn't help but ask, "What about Sylvia? Sylvia is in your plan......"
"It seems that you still don't know Sylvia Belmont," Vaschi quickly responded, and said in a wordy voice: "She is not an ordinary person, even if the French Empire and the United Kingdom are destroyed, she will be fine, and the reason why she helped Philip is mainly because of the family oath, so you don't have to worry about her at all." As she spoke, she looked at Leo thoughtfully, and said with a little confusion, "I don't know why I think you have changed a lot?"
Of course, Leo knew about the changes in his body, but he wanted to hear about his changes from other people's mouths, after all, some things could be seen more clearly by others, so he asked directly, "Have I changed anything?"
"I don't know how to say it?" Vasqi hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just a feeling...... Feel like you're more human? yes, you're more human. ”
Leo was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by that? Wasn't I a human before?"
"You really didn't look like a person before," Vasqui said, looking at Leo, "the first time I saw you, you gave me the feeling of a corpse walking around alive. ”
"A corpse walking around alive?" Leo was stunned and said, "Is it a ghoul?"
"No, it's not a ghoul-like thing, it's just a living corpse. Vaschi showed a disgusted expression, shook his head, and said carefully: "Although you were no different from people at that time, I couldn't feel the smell of any people on your body, and your heart was cold, no, this description is not correct, it should be said that there is no heart." ”
Hearing this, Leo knew what Vaschi meant, even if he became Leo Dodd, he was still the cyborg with only a number and no name, even if he disguised himself as a normal human emotion through various means, but the inside was still the essence of a cyborg. Ordinary people may not be able to tell the abnormality from his disguise, but a powerful psionic person like Vaschi can faintly sense his inner nature.
Now the change of body, brain and soul has given him normal human emotions. For example, when he sees those suffering refugees, he is no longer as indifferent as before, and there is no turmoil in his heart, but he will have some inexplicable sympathy and sadness, even if this kind of feeling will still be controlled by rational thinking, but this kind of ordinary people's feelings are not felt before.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of consequences this change will bring to him.
"Is this change of mine good or bad?" said Leo, who was puzzled in his heart, as if talking to himself.
Vaschi, who was sitting opposite, felt that Leo's words were asking himself, so he said his feelings very directly, and said: "I think it's not bad, I didn't like you before, especially that kind of indifferent rational trading." In the past, you would have negotiated with me about the terms of exchanging information before you told me what you experienced in that dream world, but now the way you do things has changed a lot, at least it makes me feel less annoying. ”
Although Leo knew that what Vaschi said was the truth, he didn't like it in his ears, and as his mood changed, he also fought back slightly, saying, "You have changed a lot, if you hadn't said so much to me before." ”
Vaschi smiled, unconcerned about Leo's words, and didn't seem to want to say anything more on the topic, instead asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"I'm going to ......" Leo was about to say his intentions, when he suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly coming from the direction of the old mine, this spiritual energy fluctuation surged over like a tide, and he felt a sense of suffocation in it, and Vasqi, who was sitting opposite him, was in the same situation, the whole person became extremely serious, and the scales on his forehead flashed from time to time bursts of dark blue light.
This explosive psionic energy fluctuation came and went quickly, and in less than three seconds, it subsided like a tide, except for psionic beings like Leo and Vasqi, other ordinary people were not affected in any way, and there was no abnormality in the military camp outside the tent.
Reo and Vasqui, recovering from the impact of psionic fluctuations, looked at each other, stood up in unison, walked outside the tent, and looked in the direction of the old mine.
At this moment, Vaschi was using her innate psionic energy to sense the situation over there, while Leo directly used her psionic ability to transform those psionic energies that had not completely dissipated into images and saw them in her eyes.
I saw that in the air above the old mine, streams of red-black spiritual energy shaped like hot air surged, and after reaching a certain height, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible force field and spread out in all directions, and in Leo's eyes, it looked like a huge red-black mushroom.
"What the hell are they doing?" Although Vaschi couldn't see every detail of the spiritual energy as clearly as Leo's psionic vision, her ability was enough for her to perceive the strength, direction, and even source of that psionic energy, and this also made her face show a look of surprise, and said, "Is that rumor true?"
"Do you know what's going on?" asked Leo in a deep voice.
Vaschi nodded slightly and said, "I know one thing, now is not the time to explain, let's talk as we go." ”
With that, he saw her walking briskly towards the outside of the barracks, and Leo followed. Although the Imperial soldiers in the barracks had not seen Leo, the guards did not come forward to stop them because of Vaschi, and soon the two walked out of the barracks and walked towards the old mine.
On the way, Vaskey opened his mouth and explained to Leo, who was following him, "After you entered 9 Golden Oak Street, Rembrandt and I also went to check on the place where the True Eye was sealed......
But before Vaschi could finish speaking, Leo asked a very personal question very abruptly, and said, "What is the relationship between you and Rembrandt?
Vaschi was stunned, stopped, glanced at Leo indifferently, and said angrily: "Can I only be a human maid for the rest of my life?"
"I'm sorry. Leo apologized.
"It's none of your business, I'm just fired. Vaschi said vaguely, then continued to move forward, very stiffly changing the topic back, and said: "At that time, Rembrandt checked a lot of information about the True Eye, and also lost a lot of information about the location of the city of Miria, and he found a rumor in the early days of the construction of the city of Miria. ”
Leo said, "This rumor must have something to do with the evil god of the True Eye, right?"
"It's not just the True Eye, but there are other evil gods. Vaschi added, continuing, "In the past, most people thought that Miria City was built on a completely barren swamp, but in fact Miria City was built on a ruin, but no one knew who built it before. So later, there were rumors that there was once a kingdom ruling here in the swamp of Miria City, and then because of the discovery of some wizards' items, there were rumors that this was once the place where the wizards of the Tower were once ruled by them. It's just that the most ridiculous and unbelievable of all the rumors is the one that Rembrandt found, and Rembrandt thinks that rumor may be true, and the evidence is the banned True Eye. ”
"What's that rumor?" asked Leo curiously.
Vasqi said in a deep voice, "The Divine Prison, this was once a prison where the gods were imprisoned. ”
At first glance, this statement sounded ridiculous, and if it were heard by the Orthodox Church, it would certainly be reduced to a heretic and hunted down to death, but when Leo heard it, he thought it was similar to that of the old man Rembrandt, and thought that this rumor might be true.
Vaschi continued, "Rembrandt deduced from this rumor that in the area around Miria City, in addition to one True Eye, at least three Old Gods were banned, namely the corrupt Obato, the Son of the Swamp, and the basilisk Tattaya. ”
Hearing these three names, Leo immediately thought of the relevant information in his mind, and also thought of the son of the swamp in the mountain village that he had killed.
"When I first returned to Veron, I saw a village in the Dibia Mountains offering sacrifices to the Children of the Marshes. ”
Vasqi didn't appear surprised, but said as if he was used to it, "With the current situation in Miria City, it is inevitable that these things will appear. ”
"Aren't the children of the swamp a servant of the marsh gods?" Leo then asked, "How did they become gods again?"
"That's true of the public information," Vaschi quickly replied, "However, there are some undisclosed sources that originally recorded a deity called the Son of the Swamp, but after his disappearance, the believers who served him received the name. ”
Leo couldn't help but wonder, "How did Rembrandt determine that there were still three ancient gods imprisoned around the city of Miria, and which god was determined?"
"I asked that question too, but he didn't. Vasqi also said with dissatisfaction.
The two of them had already emerged from the woods, and Leo looked at the wall of the old pit camp in front of him and asked, "Do you think the current affairs of the old pit have something to do with some of the imprisoned old gods?"
"Yes. Vasqi nodded and continued, "If I'm really right, then this disturbed ancient god is probably the basilisk Tataya. ”
Hearing this, Leo's expression became serious, and he did not continue to ask.
If you want to say which god has the most widespread reputation in the entire Velonon world, the vast majority of people will say that it is the lord of the sky, and there will also be some believers of different sects who say the name of the god they believe in, but from a certain point of view, the name Basilisk is definitely the most mentioned god in the Velony world, but when he is mentioned, he is not worshiped as a god, but as a villain monster The image has become a stepping stone and trophy for the success of warriors in some literature.
In almost every book that mentions warriors, the basilisk is hunted by warriors, and his head is cut off countless times to be made into ornaments, weapons, or wizard potions, and only a handful of basilisks can be used under the warrior's sword.
Only some scholars interested in the ancient gods know how powerful the basilisk Tataya is, and according to the information Leo saw, the basilisk Tataya is a relic of an ancient dragon, with the blood of an ancient dragon.
For a long time, whether it is the Night Watch, the Black Market and other organizations in the dark world, or the Orthodox Church, which is deeply involved in the gods, have expressed doubts about whether the ancient dragon really exists, because although some archaeologists have found some huge scales in some ruins, no one has been able to prove that these scales belong to the ancient dragon, and no one has dug up a complete ancient dragon skeleton.
Among the ancient books handed down from various countries in the world of Velon, there are very few books that mention the ancient dragon, and most of them only regard the ancient dragon as a kind of monster.
It's just that more than ten years ago, in the underground palace under an abandoned altar of the Mother of Plants in the Mogaganu Kingdom of Mohdano on the Moissanite Continent, a batch of ancient scrolls with a time of at least five thousand years were unearthed.
By translating the ancient texts above, archaeologists and religious scholars have discovered that the content recorded on the scroll is actually a creation myth, which is very different from the creation myth that has been circulating around the world. Because this creation myth mentions that the ruler of the world in the first place was a powerful creature called the ancient dragon, until the appearance of the gods, the dominance of the world was taken away from the ancient dragon by the gods, and the ancient dragon was completely wiped out in that war.
Because of this ancient scroll, the archaeological community of Velun began to be interested in the legendary creature of the ancient dragon, and proved through various methods that the legendary basilisk Tataya is the ancient dragon relic, and also found some ancient book fragments, and found that the basilisk Tataya with the blood of the ancient dragon once devoured the gods, and devoured more than one god, and for a long time he had the title of the great snake of the world.
If it is true that the basilisk Tattaya is banned under the mine, as Vasqi said, then this matter may be troublesome. At the same time, Leo also made up his mind that once he was sure that it was really related to the basilisk Tataya, he would leave immediately and would never get involved in this matter again. Because if everything recorded in the ancient books about the basilisk Tataya is true, then his danger level is definitely far greater than that of the True Eye, a false god with no reputation and no calculation of strength, because he is definitely a real omega-level higher creature, and he is a combat type.
