Chapter 1041: Gathering Intelligence
"What a magical place?" Sean stared at the fire tree in front of him in stunned silence, stretched out his hand to catch the fire flakes falling from the air, felt the slight heat coming from his palm, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What should we do next?" Leo didn't have much interest in Huoshu. After just taking a look, he immediately returned to business and asked.
"Ah? Next step?" Sean came back to his senses, with an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing Sean's look like this, Leo couldn't help but guess: "You haven't even thought about what you're going to do after entering here, right?"
"According to the original plan, the place where we will come out should be at Mount Saint-Truux," Sean quickly explained: "When we come out, we will have the mark of Poseidon on us, and there will be arrangements by the Eldar here at the exit of Mount Saint-Truux.
The reception staff will receive us and arrange everything. We only need to make some modest requests to them, but now..." As he said, he smiled bitterly and said: "I have no idea at all.
As for the next step, perhaps going to Mount Saint-Trux will provide the answer."
"Are you planning to go to Mount Saint-Truux to meet the Eldar people and reveal your identity?" Leo sighed and asked, "But the question is how can you prove your identity?"
"I have..." Sean was about to say something, but couldn't.
Leo knew very well that Sean wanted to say that he had the mark, but the problem was that the place they came out of was not the entrance and exit of Mount Saint-Truux, but an entrance and exit of Mountain Despair. There was no way for that entrance to leave a mark on people.
The Poseidon Mark means that the two of them are now foreign intruders without identities.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Sean asked helplessly.
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "How are we going to go back?"
Sean didn't understand why Leo suddenly asked this question, but he still answered truthfully: "There is a time limit for us to come to this world. When the time is up, we will be sent back directly from this world, but everyone's stay time is not the same."
The same, some are a few days, some are more than ten days, so the time of departure is also different." He paused and then said with some confusion: "But one thing is strange, no matter how big the time interval is,
In the end, they will all return to Wanghai Cliff at the same time, and the time there has only passed less than one day, and at most it has not been more than five days."
"Can everyone go back?" Leo couldn't help but ask, thinking of the missing devout members of the Poseidon Church in Randall City recorded in the files he had seen before.
Sean shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics."
Sean didn't lie. Most of the information he had about this place came from the records left by the ancestors of the Donald family. The other part came from the information from the Poseidon Church and the royal family. However, those information were limited to those who participated in the sacrificial ceremony.
There are very few people's records. This is partly because the Randall Poseidon Church deliberately concealed it, but also because those who participated in the ceremony suffered from memory loss after returning to the world of Velen and were unable to provide more useful information.
"Let's get to Mount Saint-Truux first." Leo looked at the team in front and made a decision.
After saying that, Leo gestured to Sean, and then without the people in front noticing, he left the team, blended into the crowd nearby, and soon disappeared into the small town market outside the checkpoint.
The town where Leo and Sean are now should have been specially used to house checkpoint guards, but at this time, the role of the town is no longer so single. There are some forging workshops, taverns, etc. that can be seen everywhere in the town.
Every facility indicates that this should be a logistics base for desperate mountain adventurers.
Although the Mountains of Despair are very barren, even barren of grass, and it seems like nothing of value can be found, in fact the monsters in the Mountains of Despair are valuable things themselves. At least some of the high-energy parts of these monsters can be used
Make potions and can also be used to make rare items.
Judging from the number of taverns and temporary hotels, there were probably tens of thousands of people gathered here at the most, but now it is very deserted. There are very few pedestrians on the road and even fewer people in the tavern. They all look like Lan Lan.
Like the unemployed sailors in Doyle's Tavern, they were sitting there drinking and passing the time.
It seems that because of the Eternal Spirit Festival being held here, all expeditions, hunting and other activities in the Despair Mountains have been temporarily suspended. Checkpoints in and out of the Despair Mountains have also been closed, and the hunters and explorers who originally gathered here have also stopped.
Go home, or go to Mont Saint Troupe to attend the Feast of the Soul.
Leo and Sean walked around the town. Through observation, Leo found several grocery stores that purchased prey, and imitated the locals to use the high-energy substances he had separated from the monsters in the Despair Mountain.
Sold to a grocery store in exchange for some local money.
Afterwards, he found a tavern, ordered some local wine and food, and chose a place by the window with a wide view to sit down, just like other local adventurers who were temporarily unemployed, drinking and eating.
Something to kill boring time.
Sean was silent on the sidelines. Although he was anxious about the sea monster shell he wanted to get, he didn't show it. Instead, he would do whatever Leo asked him to do. He knew very well that if he still wanted to gain something, he would do it.
, you can only rely on Leo to achieve your goal, and you can also only hope that Leo's doing this will help you get the sea monster snail.
The reason why Leo did not follow the team just to the Saint-Truux Mountains, the center of the land, but stayed on the edge of this desperate mountainous area, was to make himself more like a local. By observing the bloodbath
The words and deeds of the locals should be perfectly imitated by the locals, so as not to go to Mount Saint-Trux and be discovered due to inappropriate behavior.
The level of civilization in this Poseidon world is equivalent to the age of knights in the world of Velen, but the people here are not as ignorant as ordinary people in the age of knights. Everyone here has mastered a language proficiently and can do simple reading and writing.
They have mastered some civilized etiquette, making their overall temperament look more like people in the current Velen world.
The reason why everyone here has a certain amount of knowledge is because the Poseidon Church and the Eldar here provide free education and free skill training, such as the use of weapons to fight and so on.
From the conversations with people in the tavern, Leo learned that the people who stayed here and waited for the Mountain of Despair to reopen were mainly because they did not want to participate in the Elder Spirit Festival, or that these people were somewhat anti-Eldar.
This land, or this world, is not just the Sea Tribe and the Spirit Tribe as they thought before. If the Sea Tribe and the Spirit Tribe are compared to the two classes at the top of the pyramid, then under their rule, there are a large number of other people.
Ethnic groups live in this ocean world. Most of these ethnic groups come from the Sea Tribe and Eldar Tribe, but some also come from the outside world, such as the human world similar to Velen.
Yes, this Poseidon world is also connected to other worlds. Leo was surprised after hearing the news, but he also felt that it was reasonable. After all, the Velen world can be connected to this world through Poseidon belief, so other worlds will naturally
It can also be connected to Poseidon through belief in Poseidon. What really surprised him was that from the conversations between those people, he found that the connection channels between other worlds connected to Poseidon's world were very stable, even stable to the point of two worlds.
People can communicate with each other freely.
Therefore, not all of those island lords originate from the Sea Tribe and Spirit Tribe, but some also originate from other worlds.
For example, there is a person in the tavern who comes from another world and has settled in the world of Poseidon. These people are generally in human form, but their skin has special organs that look like leaves. What is the use of these organs temporarily?
It's not clear, but Leo estimates that the functions of these organs are similar to those of leaves.
In addition, through the conversations with these people, Leo also discovered that the Despair Mountains are not barren, and are even extremely wealthy, because in addition to the monsters growing in the Despair Mountains, there are some extremely special mines underground in the Despair Mountains, and the Sky Sea will also appear from time to time.
Drop some things, and most of these things will fall in the Despair Mountain. These dropped things are extremely valuable treasures. Someone once found one of the dropped things, sold it to the Poseidon Church, and then obtained
He acquired an island under the control of Poseidon Church and became an island lord.
Therefore, as long as Despair Mountain is open, a large number of people will enter Despair Mountain, hoping to get rich overnight. However, most people will never return after entering Despair Mountain, because in addition to the extremely dangerous monsters in Despair Mountain, the mountain environment
Also very dangerous.
After hearing this information, Leo also felt that he and Sean were very lucky to be in the Mountains of Despair at this time, because a strange power called the ray of death would appear from time to time in the Mountains of Despair, which was generated out of thin air.
There is no pattern in the place of appearance. All people exposed to the death ray will mutate in just a few days. In the end, they will either die of organ failure during the mutation, or they will mutate into real monsters and be beaten to death by others.
Although Leo has never seen a death ray with his own eyes, judging from the descriptions of those people, this ray should be some kind of energy ray that can cause biological gene mutations. Energy rays with this effect are very common in the universe, and their types are
There are tens of thousands of them, and the solution is very simple. A set of radiation-proof clothing that filters rays or a filter generator that disrupts the frequency of rays is enough. But without radiation-proof clothing and a filter generator, let alone ordinary people,
Even psykers below level three will undergo some irreversible mutations when encountering this kind of ray.
In addition to some miscellaneous information, Leo also knew some information about the Poseidon Church team that they accompanied before. In fact, the incident that occurred not long ago caused such a big fuss here that the Poseidon Church sent people to the Mountains of Despair.
During the investigation, many people paid attention to this place. Now that the Poseidon Church team has returned from the investigation and brought back some things, it naturally aroused the curiosity of many people. Therefore, there are people discussing these things in almost all local taverns.
It was hard for Leo not to listen.
Among the information collected about the local Poseidon Church, the first information confirmed by Leo was the identity of the half-mermaid bishop, Archbishop Chrissy. It is almost certain that this archbishop is Princess Chrissy, but is of her bloodline.
There has been a mutation, or atavism.
As for how Chris came to this world, the information these people talked with did not mention it. They only mentioned that Chris's status in the Poseidon Church in this world is very high. How high is it? Even if she is a spirit
The clan leader or the sea king of the sea clan must bow when they see her. In the entire sea god world, the only one whose status is comparable to hers is another god-loved archbishop.
The reason why she has such a high status is not because of how powerful she is, but because of her divine status. She is the only divine descendant recognized by Poseidon in the Poseidon Church, and therefore she can use all the gifts given by Poseidon.
artifact.
Subsequently, these people revealed another piece of information, that is, the previous trident light was the power exerted by the Chrissy Archbishop after using the artifact.
In addition, they also mentioned some things about the Poseidon Church, but these things all involved the disputes within the Poseidon Church, and most of them were hearsay, so Leo didn't pay special attention to them.
What really concerned Leo was that the Chrissy Archbishop seemed to be preparing to recruit a large number of people to expand her subordinates during the Eternal Spirit Festival, when Poseidon believers from various islands gathered here.
After listening to the recruitment conditions they mentioned, Leo felt that this might be an opportunity to sneak into Mount Saint-Troux, because under normal circumstances, people without identity like them wanted to enter Mount Saint-Truux during the Long Soul Festival.
Lushan is very difficult. During this period, the entire Spirit Clan and the Poseidon Church were very strict about checking people who entered Mount Saint-Truux. Many of the people who stayed here had their identities found out and were kicked out of Mount Saint-Truux.
.
If there was only one Leo, he wouldn't have to worry about his identity. He could just use some witchcraft, abyss spells, and psychic skills to influence others' minds and get through. Even if he was discovered, he could easily get through it.
Escape, but now there is Sean who is almost like an ordinary person beside him. If something happens, Sean will have no way to escape, so he has to modify his method of doing things and choose to enter Mount Saint-Troux through the normal way.
Thinking of this, Leo turned to Sean and asked, "Sean, can you sing?"
"Singing?" Sean didn't understand what Leo meant by asking this question at all, but he still shook his head truthfully and said, "I can't sing, but I can use musical instruments." He pointed to the hanging wall in the tavern.
