"What is this?" Leo said to himself, frowning, as he looked at the thing in his hand.

After returning to his hotel room from the museum, Leo freshened up a little before opening the box that Dawson Quivan had given him.

It's just that the contents of the box puzzled him, because it contained only a very ordinary-looking stone carving, and judging from the style of the stone carving, the animal face, plant patterns, fire and rain symbols, and other features all showed that it came from a certain tribe in the wasteland.

Leo remembered that the shamanism in Moisan belonged to the belief in nature gods, and there were as many species of nature as there were gods to believe in.

Among the tribes in the Moissanite wasteland, the most believing are plant gods and animal gods, and all children born will regard a plant or an animal as a protector god and serve it for life, so they usually carve their protective gods into statues or accessories to carry around.

At the moment, this stone sculpture is not very large, and it looks like a statue of some kind of tribal protector god, but if you look closely, you can see that something is wrong, because this statue does not have a shaman's spiritual rune on it.

While not all tribal patron idols require a shaman's spiritual rune, a stone statue like this one must have spiritual runes.

Because according to the traditional thinking of the Moisan tribes, nature is not only full of natural protectors, but also full of various evil spirits, and if there are no spiritual runes in the idol worn with them, the evil spirits may occupy the idol, and then cause damage to the owner of the idol, so the spiritual runes are not only used to attract natural gods, but also to defend against evil spirits.

And another thing that puzzled Leo was the beast face of the stone statue of the protector, which he had never seen before, and there was no corresponding animal.

The scholars of the Kingdom of England are very obsessed with the primitive civilization of the Moisan continent, and many of them are extremely advocating shamanism, and conduct systematic research on shamanism, among which the tribal nature protector god is closely related to shamanism There are also very deep studies, and more than 30 books have been published before and after, and the pictures and texts of the statues of the nature protectors, animal faces, plant patterns, etc. are recorded in detail.

Among them, there are the largest records of animal face patterns on statues, reaching more than 3,900 species, covering almost all the wasteland tribes that have been discovered.

However, in the records of those animal face patterns, there is no animal face pattern on this stone carving, and the carving technique of the animal face pattern on this stone carving is different from the traditional carving technique of the animal face pattern.

The traditional animal face pattern is to use a special flat knife, through the chisel marks of the flat knife to depict the animal face, the number of knives used for each animal face is different, the simplest of which is a knife pattern, representing a fish in the wasteland, and the most complex is the thirty-seven knife pattern, representing a very fierce beast in the wasteland.

And now on the statue that Leo saw, sixty-nine knives were used to depict this beast face, and the various features of this beast face are also different from other beast face patterns, which seems to be a new beast face pattern system.

However, when Dawson Quivan handed the thing to Leo, he told Leo that it would come in handy when he went to the wasteland, which made Leo feel a little puzzled.

It would be fine if Dawson Quefan didn't know anything about Leo, after all, the wastelands of Mozambique are definitely recognized as dangerous areas in the world, and they are not worse than the Black Forest.

But the problem is that Dawson knows very well who Leo is, and even thinks that Leo is a wizard of the Tower, but even so, he still thinks that Leo will be dangerous if he goes to the wasteland, and gives Leo such a portable stone sculpture that does not have any mysterious power and feels like a token, so it means that in Dawson's heart, this stone sculpture is really useful to him.

"Bang, bang, bang......" Just when Leo was wondering what the use of this statue was, there was a knock on the door of the hotel, Leo sensed it through the spiritual net, and after knowing who was coming, he showed a little smile on his face, and walked over to open the door, and said to the people outside the house: "You arrived earlier than I expected." ”

"I'm here by airship. I saw that Sylvia also smiled when she saw Leo, and stepped forward to hug Leo, looking very intimate, and then walked into Leo's room very casually, put the clothes on the chair on the side, picked up the glass from the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass, as if she was in her own home.

Leo was not disgusted by Sylvia's intimacy, he walked up to Sylvia, took the wine glass handed to him, and asked, "Is the airship already practical?"

"Of course not, this airship is the same one you flew in, but I've bought it now. Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Although it took some effort and feet, it went well, and before I left, the airship was temporarily used by me, and after I left, it was handed over to the Church of the Hill King." ”

Leo didn't ask Sylvia how she got the airship, thinking that some means must have been used, and it seemed that the Church of the Hill Kings was involved.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that the airship represents a tool that can be comparable to, or even far surpasses, of the steam train, and it is said that whoever masters the airship will master the next era.

Leo took a sip of the glass and said, "The world is changing. ”

"I know. Sylvia was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "A lot of things have happened recently, many of the monitored clans have suddenly lost control, and I and other witches can also feel the rapid growth and change of power, if it weren't for the out-of-control clans and familiar with the current power, maybe I would be able to come here sooner." That guy was ready to come with me, but he couldn't control the flames in his body and kept burning......"

"You don't know, the world is changing, and the changes you see are only small changes," Leo shook his head, interrupting Sylvia, "and the changes I'm talking about are the kind of big changes, like the gods are returning, and it won't be long before the church regains the rights they've lost all these years." For example, there are other things that come to this world with the gods, and these things may completely change the price of civilization in this world. ”

"Anything else?" Sylvia frowned and asked, "Do you mean the evil god?"

"No, or more than that. Leo was silent for a moment, then said, "It could be something more unimaginable, it could be something from the abyss, or it could be somewhere else." ”

The look on Sylvia's face also became a little serious, although the abyss is the origin of witches, they have an instinctive aversion to the abyss.

Although Leo's words sound alarmist and seemingly unfounded, Sylvia chooses to believe Leo's words and does not ask Leo how he came to such a conclusion, because at least the change mentioned by Leo has already occurred in the return of the gods.

"Mares' civil war is coming to an end soon. Sylvia suddenly said something inexplicably without a beginning or an end, and then stepped into the main topic and said, "This is the decision of the king of the hill." Before I arrived, the King of the Hill had issued a clear oracle to the Pope of the Church to stop the civil war in Maris and to rebuild the Knights of the Holy Helm. ”

Sylvia's revelation also surprised Leo, he was not surprised that the Church was involved in the civil war in the Kingdom of Mares, but he was a little surprised that the King of the Hill issued an oracle to rebuild the Knights of the Holy Helmet.

In the past, because of the Church's interference in secular affairs, it created an armed force within the Church to deal with various functions and functions, including ordinary religious warriors and more sophisticated knights, but in the Church, only one knight will be named after the saint, and that is the knight order, which is dominated by paladins.

The Knights of the Helmet of the King of the Hill are definitely one of the best in the Holy Knights of the various churches in the world of Velon, and unlike the Holy Knights of other churches, the Knights of the Helmet are not standing knights.

In normal times, the Knights of the Helmet would be disbanded, and all Paladins would take up different positions in the other Church Forces, and the Knights of the Helmet would only be formed when there was a major event in the Cult of the Hill King.

In the history of the Church of the Hill Kings, the Knights of the Holy Helmet have only been reorganized eleven times, and each time is a major event for the Church of the King of the Hill, and now that the Church of the King of the Hill has reorganized the Knights of the Holy Helmet, then this means that there will be big things to happen in the Kingdom of Mares in the near future, or the entire Minsk continent.

"What about your Witch Band?" Leo couldn't help but ask, "What are you Witch Groups going to do?"

"The one in the north has sent out an invitation, hoping that the Witch Troupe will go to Daliat," Sylvia pouted and said, "However, Saran is still thinking about it." ”

"Because of the feud with the one from the north?" asked Leo.

"It's not. Sylvia shook her head, glanced at Leo, and said: "She is the one who chooses the king, her strength is not so small, the reason she considers is mainly to love the luxury forest, if there is no way to transfer the entrance to the luxury forest to the north, then she must stay here, this is the duty of the gatekeeper." ”

"With her relationship with the Hill Kings Church, there shouldn't be any problems. Leo added.

"Not necessarily. Sylvia rejected Leo's painting again, saying: "The person who received the oracle is Archbishop Sith of Iron Thorns, he is the leader of the primitive doctrinal sect in the Cult of the King of the Hill, and his relationship with Saran is not good at all, that is, because he is now the head of the Church of the King of the Hill, and he is also the person who is most likely to become the next Pope, so the Witch Order will consider moving north." As she spoke, she seemed reluctant to mention it more, so she changed the topic and said, "You said before that you encountered some interesting things on the road, could it be that it was from those interesting things that you found out about the changes in the world?"

"Yes. Leo nodded, he didn't ask about the internal affairs of the witch group again, but followed Sylvia's words and briefly told him what happened on the way to Moonlight City.

Although Sylvia also guessed that Leo must have encountered a lot of things, she was still a little surprised after listening to Leo's narration.

Because whether it is the ascension ceremony of the demigods on the top of the snowy mountain, or the action of the Lord of All Things, every thing that spreads out is enough to cause a sensation in the entire dark world, and the matter of the True Eye artificial family discovered in Dry Steel City is more likely to involve the big conspiracy that some schools of the medical school are going on, which makes Sylvia also feel a little numb.

"Damn it, damn it!" Sylvia suddenly thought of something, cursed repeatedly, walked up and down the room, and said angrily, "I know, I know that Lawrence guy is uneasy and kind, damn, he must have colluded with that school of life," she said suddenly stopped, and said with a worried face, "If this is true, then Misha Town is finished." ”

"Misha Town?" Leo suddenly heard an unfamiliar name, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it Misha Town in the southern corner of Bowang?"

"Yes. Sylvia gradually calmed down, and without waiting for Leo to ask, she told Leo about Misha Town.

The town of Misha is actually just a small promontory at the southern tip of the continent of Vilon, this town is famous for catching a delicious silverfish, and it is also very famous for its scenery of the sea and the moon.

However, under the influence of a strange disease that swept the whole town, the town was completely isolated from the world, even if the strange disease has passed, but the people in the town have become deformed because of illness, which makes outsiders dare not approach, and the people in the town are getting fewer and fewer, and the latest statistics are only less than twenty households.

However, before Sylvia came to Minsk, the town was reopened, because a large number of Miria's refugees had poured into the United Kingdom of France, and many of them were sick and could not tell if it was the plague, so in order to settle these refugees, the blood wizard Lawrence proposed that all of them be placed in Misha Town, and invited the Life School of the Medical College to help him treat these people.

At the time of Sylvia's departure, there were already more than 5,000 sick Miria refugees who had been placed in the town of Misha, and the person in charge of treatment was the Life School of the Medical College.

Sylvia must have more information channels than Leo, and after Leo mentioned the matter of Dry Steel City, she knew that there was a medical school behind her, and it was easy to find the source.

Moreover, she also thought about some of the past actions of the blood wizard Lawrence, and it didn't take much thought to make a judgment about the current situation in Misha Town.

As for Leo, after listening to Sylvia's narration, he couldn't help but recall the blood wizard Lawrence he met in Miria City, which had become a ruin after he returned to the world of Veron, and at that time he was puzzled about what the blood wizard was doing in Miria City, but because there were other things he didn't think much about, and now it seems that Blood Wizard Lawrence probably still hasn't given up on his experiments, and is selecting suitable experiments in Miria City.
