Just like the name, the town Leo saw was indeed completely built on the lake. They did not follow the normal method of driving stone piles in the water and then building the houses on the stone piles. All the houses were built on the lake.

On a vine-like aquatic plant.

This kind of vine seems to have a magical power. This power makes the vine itself have extraordinary growth ability, and its buoyancy is unusually strong. Even if a seventeen or eight-story wooden house is built on it, it will not let it rise.

The vines sank into the water.

Although the houses in the town are all built on vines on the water, it feels like they will sink into the water at any time. However, the original planners and builders of the town did not build the houses carelessly. On the contrary, all the houses were built carefully.

Very neat.

Moreover, each house has different styles and models according to the people who live there and the jobs they live there. After seeing the houses, Leo can clearly explain the functions of each area in the entire town without having to think at all.

.

For example, there are ten small areas on the outermost edge of the entire town near the lakeside city wall. Each area is composed of dozens of twelve-story lofts connected to each other. The top of each loft area is paved with wooden boards, forming a huge

On the playground, you can also see some weapon racks, and several suspension bridges are pulled out from above, connected to the outer walls, other attic areas, and the top of the inner town area.

Obviously these ten small attic areas should all be garrison areas. The garrison forces of this lake town should all live in these ten small areas. Their responsibility is nothing more than to guard and maintain the city wall and block the dream spirit when necessary.

Invasion.

After passing the ten outermost garrison areas, the houses inside are fan-shaped, extending towards the depths of Crescent Moon Lake. About every ten lofts in the longitudinal direction will separate a city area, and there will be a city area.

After more than a hundred urban areas, the expansion stopped.

The houses in these urban areas range from high to low. Some are brightly lit inside and outside. The houses are luxurious and noble in shape. Some can only see stars and lights from some windows. The houses are simple and simple. Some have towering chimneys, which can see huge

There are forging furnaces, and some are composed of densely packed small houses. You can see a lot of handmade machinery from the window.

All in all, at a glance, all urban areas can easily see their functions from their architectural forms, as well as the identities of the people who live or use them.

Outside the wall was chaos and disorder, but inside the wall was order and order. This contrasting scene made Leo feel uncomfortable from the beginning. He felt that he was not in a dream world, but somewhere in the world of Velen.

Outside a small industrial town.

When talking with Valentin before, Leo learned from the fragments of his words that this dream world is also divided into morning and evening, but they are called active period and rest period, and the activity period and rest period are divided into

The most important piece of machinery is the bell tower in the center of every town.

According to Valentin, this clock tower may not be the tallest or largest building in the entire town, but it is certainly the most eye-catching building in the town.

The shape of the bell tower is different from the common mechanical bell towers in the Velen world. This bell tower is a black tower. The top of the tower holds a huge stone ring divided into twenty-four areas. There will always be an area on this ring.

In the glowing state, the area in the glowing state will move one grid to the right every time, and the different lights emitted by the areas represent the active period and the resting period respectively. Gold represents the active period, and silver represents the resting period.

At this moment, the dream world is in an active period, a new golden area has just been lit up, and a large number of people are walking around and working in the town.

And Leo compared the time area marked on the stone ring of the tower with the time record of the accessory brain system, and was surprised to find that if judged according to the time of the Velen world, it was exactly ten o'clock in the daytime in the western continent of the French Empire.

The time around is very consistent with the time displayed on the stone ring.

"Interesting!" This scene put an inexplicable smile on Leo's face. He would not simply think that this was just a coincidence.

According to Valentin, this clock tower is controlled by the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City, and the changes in time marks are also controlled by the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City. This makes Leo couldn't help but guess that the Wizards Association here may have some connection with the world of Velen.

, at least it can be synchronized with the time of the Farlan Empire in the world of Velen.

Leo couldn't wait to enter the city to take a look, but he didn't follow the normal route, from the suspension bridge to the garrison area, and then entered the city. After all, with his current situation, it was really hard to explain.

How do ordinary people climb the high wall from outside the forest and enter here during the moon period?

I saw Leo stepping on the protruding stones and gaps on the inside of the wall, quickly climbed to the corner of the wall, and came to the lake. He visually measured the distance between the lake and the vines in the water on the opposite side, and mentally estimated the strength of the jump.

He did not plan to swim across, because he felt that the builders of this lake town would choose to build a high-altitude suspension bridge in the air instead of building a bridge directly on the water to connect to the shore. There must be other reasons.

He estimated that this reason should be closely related to the lake here, or more specifically, the lake is very dangerous. This can be seen from the fact that he did not find any boats around the town. And judging from various signs, this place

People seemed to be sure that the lake could block the spirits of dreams, so they built the town on the lake.

Leo retreated to the giant wall, stretched his legs backwards and stepped on the wall. He turned on the perfect control skill, which instantly raised all the qualities of his body to the extreme. Then he pushed hard on the wall and rushed out like an arrow.

, he rushed to the lake in the blink of an eye, and as if he had measured it, he stepped on his right foot just one step away from the lake water, and pushed hard.

As a reaction force came from under his feet, he flew into the air, drew an arc from above the lake, and landed on a vine platform floating on the water more than 20 meters away.

The vines that make up this water foundation are thick and thin. The thick ones require several people to hug them, while the thin ones are only as small as a little finger. They are entangled with each other, the thick ones form the main trunk, and the thin ones fill the gaps. Under the control of unknown forces

, forming a relatively flat floating platform.

After Leo set foot on this vine floating platform, he immediately discovered that these vines seemed to be the main material for making the mesh-like wizard artifacts he had seen before, because his spiritual perception could easily be felt from the vines.

A similar psychic wavelength in that wizard's artifact.

However, after landing, Leo was not concerned about the condition of the vines, but the condition of the lake.

I saw him walking to the edge of the vines, sticking his head out, and looking towards the water.

"Sure enough." After seeing the situation on the water, Leo muttered to himself.

The moment he flew over the water, he discovered that his figure did not appear on the reflection of the water. At first, he just thought it was because the moonlight in the sky was not strong enough to form a mirror reflection on the lake, but now he

But it is certain that the lake water here does not reflect any reflections.

In addition, he could also feel a spiritual energy fluctuation from the lake water in a certain area close to the vines. In his opinion, the reason why this spiritual energy fluctuation existed seemed to be because of the spiritual energy contained in these vines.

Through the analysis of the accessory brain system, he even discovered that the wavelength of the spiritual energy appearing in the lake was very similar to the wavelength of the spiritual energy contained in the thick fog that sent him to this dream world, almost exactly the same.

For this reason, Leo, who was curious, tried to release the spiritual net to investigate the situation of the lake, and soon the spiritual net fed back to him a large amount of information, and all of this information showed that he perceived

The lake does not exist, there is only an unknown energy field.

Just like the previous analysis results of the accessory brain, the analysis data of this energy field is very similar to the previous thick fog outside No. 9 Golden Oak Street. It can almost be regarded as an energy field composed of the same spiritual energy.

"Could it be that the lake water has the same function as the dense fog, which can transport objects falling into the lake to another dream world?" After seeing the results compiled after data analysis and comparison, Leo's mind quickly

A guess was generated, and he felt that this guess should be very close to the truth.

Just when Leo had some thoughts about the abnormality of the lake, a very harsh sound of opening the door came from the lowest house not far away, followed by a faint sound of footsteps indicating that several people were heading towards this place.

Come over.

Leo didn't think much, and immediately walked quickly to a slightly arched huge vine, hiding his body in the shadow of the vine, and only used his mental net to observe the surrounding situation.

Soon those people entered Leo's mental network, and Leo discovered that the appearance of these people was very different from Valentin's.

Although Valentin's skin appears extremely pale due to some unknown reasons, with a hint of silvery color, he is only different from ordinary people in this regard, and his other facial features and internal organs are the same as ordinary people.

But now, the residents of Hushang Town that he sensed through his mental network were wearing uniforms and should be wall guards, but they were completely different from ordinary people. Two of them had four octopus-like tentacles on their bodies, and there were many small ones on their faces.

The tentacles, and the legs of the other two were like bird claws, and their hands were disproportionately thick, which formed a great visual contrast with their thin bodies.

Although the appearance of the four people felt very similar to those dream spirits outside, Leo did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations unique to the dream spirits from the four people, so these people were just ordinary people whose bodies had changed.

.

The four people walked very fast, and soon they reached the edge of the vine platform. After they stopped, they talked for a few words in a heavily accented Mares language, and then started arguing loudly. Then that

The two men with tentacles acted at the same time as if they had already planned it. The four extra tentacles on their bodies instantly became extremely hard, and they pierced into the bodies of the other two colleagues in front of them like four sharp blades.

Two colleagues were shot dead directly.

While pulling out the tentacles, the two carefully avoided the blood splashing from the wounds of the corpses, and then pushed the two corpses into the lake outside the platform. Then without looking at what happened to the corpses, they turned around and walked away.

go back.

At this moment, Leo did not leave immediately, but after the two people left, he came to the place where the two people left the bodies.

I saw that the two corpses did not sink to the bottom of the water immediately, but floated on the water. However, the energy field contained in the lake around the corpses emitted bursts of regular wavelengths as if they had been disturbed.

Soon, Leo felt that there seemed to be some kind of invisible presence approaching in the water, and then the two bodies instantly sank into the water and disappeared as if they were tied to stones.

At this moment, Leo found that the invisible existence he felt through the spiritual network did not disappear with the disappearance of the body. Instead, it stopped in the water in front of his position, just like he was sensing the other party at the moment. The other party seemed to be

I'm also observing him in some way.

Although Leo felt that the best thing to do now was to retreat to the depths of the vine platform and stop looking at the beings hidden in the water, his strong curiosity led him to do the opposite and activate his psychic vision skills.

When the spiritual vision skill was turned on, Leo found that all the lake water in front of him disappeared, replaced by a layer of thick fog, and a very huge black shadow with countless tentacles stretching out from his body appeared in the thick fog, a distance away from him

Less than a few meters ahead.

Although this black figure has no organs such as glasses, Leo can clearly feel that the other party is looking at him, and is using some kind of psychic energy to affect his mind, causing him to have a

The urge is so strong that I want to jump into the water immediately.

"Activate the mechanical will." The moment he felt that he could no longer bear the impulse in his heart and wanted to jump forward, Leo immediately exited the spiritual vision state and turned on the mechanical will, allowing his mind to get rid of the influence in an instant, and quickly

He retreated to a safe place.

I don't know if it was an auditory hallucination, but in short, when he retreated to a safe place, an indescribable hissing sound suddenly sounded next to his ears, and this sound was full of anger and unwillingness.

"Huh~" After feeling that the hidden presence in the lake had disappeared, Leo took a long breath, stopped the mechanical will skill, allowed himself to return to a normal state of absolute sanity, and then opened the personal data interface to view

Condition.

The daily value of will is what Leo is most concerned about at the moment, and when he saw that the daily value of will at this moment dropped eleven points from just now, he couldn't help but feel deeply grateful.

He just saw the black shadow for less than ten seconds, and his daily will value dropped crazily by eleven points. If he hadn't activated the mechanical will skill in time to get rid of the other party's mental control, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to control it.

If you are tempted into jumping into the water, you will also be in danger due to the rapid drop in your willpower level.

However, there must be gains in every loss. Although Leo's daily will value has been reduced, because he successfully used his own will to get rid of the close control of a mysterious existence, his basic mental value has been improved by two points, reaching
