The Church of the Snake Mother is definitely one of the oldest underground churches in the world, and it is also the underground church with the most widespread believers. Its believers can be found in almost all three continents of the Velen world. Leo, who has seen the statue of the Mother of All Children,

I feel that the Church of the Snake Mother may be an extension of the Church of the Mother of All Children, or it may be a disguised shell.

As for the Church of the Eye of Truth and the Church of the Snake Mother, they are two extremes. In the underground church, it is almost synonymous with being weak. It is also an important evil church pursued by the Orthodox Church. It is also used as a training target for members by the Night Watch organization from time to time.

Being able to survive is already pretty good.

Obviously, the huge casualties among the church's top leaders five years ago brought a devastating blow to the Eye of Truth Church. Even if they could still maintain the form of the church and continue to preach in Miria City, they had to join other powerful churches.

The underground church has become a subordinate church. For example, now, judging from the behavior of those evil god believers, it is obvious that the overall status of the believers of the Snake Mother Church is higher than that of the believers of the True Eye Church, even among the three members of the True Eye Church

There is a family of evil gods who are transforming.

Leo quickly found a suitable open space in the ruins. This open space is located at the intersection of three psychic magnetic fields. This also makes the psychic fluctuations here very chaotic, but it is also extremely powerful, so powerful that even ordinary people can approach it.

There will also be some feelings here, such as falling into some illusion, or losing control of the body, etc.

Obviously, the monitors following Leo knew the danger of this open space, so when they were about to approach the open space, they stopped and did not approach.

Because of the psychic magnetic field, the dust and gravel in this open space will automatically move to the place where the magnetic field spreads under the influence of the magnetic field. This also makes this open space extremely clean, as if someone has cleaned it every day.

It is not difficult to tell from the granite floor on the ground that the former building on this open space should be an office building. Although granite is not a suitable rune carrier, it will cause unnecessary consumption of the rune effect, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the magic circle.

But now it is perfect to use this situation to test certain rune magic circles.

Leo quickly took out some alchemy equipment from his storage space. These equipment were all experimental equipment found in the villas of some medical school members. Although they were not professional alchemy equipment, they were still barely usable.

After that, Leo carefully ground some herbs picked along the way, squeezed out the juice, mixed them together according to different proportions, filtered them repeatedly to remove impurities, then poured them into a beaker, lit an alcohol lamp, and refined them.

Leo was not very sure whether he could extract the magic pattern potion needed to carve the rune magic circle, because all the magic pattern potions were made from herbs from the dream world, and the herbs he chose were after comparison.

The vinylon world herbal medicine that I think can be used as a substitute. Although the two herbal medicines are consistent in terms of medicinal properties, it is still unknown whether they can be used as substitutes in the end. For this reason, Leo has prepared more than a dozen sets of substitute formulas, which can be replaced at any time.

Soon after the temperature of the concoction in the flask reached a certain level, the concoction began to heat up, emitting water vapor, and the air began to be filled with a unique herbal smell.

Leo estimated the time and began to inject spiritual energy into the concoction. With the injection of spiritual energy, the color of the concoction also began to change, from grass green to dark green, and the pungent part of the smell

It also began to weaken and eventually disappeared completely.

When Leo saw that the color change of the herbal medicine had ended, he immediately stopped injecting spiritual energy, extinguished the alcohol lamp, and waited for the medicine to cool down naturally.

The subsequent changes in the concoction put a smile on Leo's face, because he found that just after the alcohol lamp was turned off, the steaming concoction quickly cooled down. Judging from this situation, the concoction should

It already contains some mysterious power.

Leo took off the completely cooled concoction flask and sniffed the smell inside. Before, he could smell a faint herbal fragrance, but now he couldn't smell anything at all. Instead, a cold breath came from

The water poured out of the bottle, making Leo's nose slightly uncomfortable.

"It failed! But it was also successful!" Leo made a judgment almost without trying, but this judgment was somewhat contradictory.

The reason why Leo said he failed was because the potion was not the magic pattern potion he wanted. The reason why he succeeded later was because the potion in the flask was a new psychic potion that Leo had never seen before.

And the effect of this psychic potion is extraordinary.

You must know that Leo's body has entered a higher level at this moment and can be regarded as an extraordinary creature. With the improvement of physical fitness, the resistance to abnormal injuries has naturally increased. But just now, he just smelled

After sniffing the smell of the concoction emanating from the flask, my nose felt slightly uncomfortable. If I were an ordinary person, I would have been frostbitten by the cold breath.

After confirming that this bottle of potion was a psychic potion, Leo began to test and analyze the function and efficacy of this bottle of potion. It took almost no time and effort to figure out the function of this potion.

This potion is temporarily named Frost Potion by Leo. Its main function is to enchant weapons. You only need to pour the potion on any iron weapon to give the weapon a similar freezing spirit before the effect disappears.

The bullet has the effect of stabbing the enemy and giving the enemy additional freezing damage.

Although the effect of this enchanting potion is very good, it is a bit useless for Leo. After all, if he fights the enemy, he has a large number of powerful witchcraft that can be used, and even if the freezing effect is needed, with the king's

Freezing bullets are enough, not to mention he also knows witchcraft such as freezing.

However, this kind of enchanted psychic potion cannot be said to be useless. It can become a good dark world commodity. At least for those night watchmen, family members and others who rely on cold weapons to fight, it can add magic to their weapons.

The enchanted potion can definitely become the key to determining the outcome of a battle, and its value will not be much worse than a bottle of healing potion.

What's more, the herbs required to refine this potion are one of the most common herbs in the world of Velen. The cost is almost negligible, but the net profit it brings is extremely huge. The only trouble is that it needs to be refined by yourself.

Although he was not able to successfully obtain the magic pattern potion he needed, he unexpectedly obtained another enchanting psychic potion. This was a good start for Leo.

Perhaps because the unexpected frost potion consumed all his good luck, the potions he refined using more than a dozen formulas deduced were all useless potions. Of course, one or two of them can be used as

As a poison or anesthetic, the difficulty of the refining process and the value of the medicinal materials consumed, as well as the huge gap between the value of the final medicine, were regarded as failed formulas by Leo.

Now Leo still has two formulas left to try. Once these two formulas fail, it means that the magic pattern potion cannot be refined in the Velen world through conventional means, and can only be made through the power of nightmare. In this way,

The value of the knowledge about runes and magic circles he learned in the dream world will be compromised.

Because more than a dozen failures made Leo feel a little anxious, so he did not immediately continue trying the next formula, but stopped and sat quietly for a while to calm down his floating mood.

At this time, among the monitors on the periphery, the two from the Night Watch organization had already left. Among the remaining evil believers, the people from the Snake Mother Church had also left, leaving only three believers from the Eye of Truth Church.

, and the believer who began to transform into a dependent family was also among them.

After Leo felt that his emotions had calmed down, he started the next round of formula refining. Soon a bottle of potion refined according to the new formula was held in Leo's hand. Although no testing had been conducted yet, Leo

A slight smile appeared on Ou's face. Because the psychic energy fluctuations emitted from the bottle of potion in his hand were almost the same as the magic pattern potion, except that the color of this bottle of potion was inky black, and the smell was not magical.

The light fragrance of the tattoo medicine has a burnt smell.

"It should be successful, right?" Leo was not sure whether the medicine in his hand was the magic pattern medicine.

Then, he poured the medicine in his hand on the runes of the Abandoned Capital City that had been on the ground when he was testing the medicine, and then injected spiritual energy into the runes according to the method written in the information.

At the moment when spiritual energy was injected, the runes on the ground immediately took effect, emitting a flame-like light. This effect was not seen in the potions tried before.

The light became more and more powerful, gradually turning from a blur of red light into a bonfire that looked the same as the real one, and in the bonfire was a spiral sword engraved with mysterious fonts.

The moment the bonfire appeared, a warm feeling was produced out of thin air in all places where the light of the bonfire shone. This warm feeling was not only felt by the body, but also felt by the soul.

"Hey!" Leo, who was closest to the bonfire, didn't have time to carefully study what the bonfire turned into by the runes was when he noticed that there were suddenly some white shadows around him.

Leo immediately called on his spiritual energy, turned on his spiritual vision, and looked at the white figures. He saw that those white figures were clearly the souls of the dead buried under the ruins in the bow area. The appearance of these souls was exactly the same as when they died.

, the injuries on the corpses are also reflected on the souls, which also makes these souls look very scary.

However, these souls did not appear to attack Leo, but were attracted by the bonfire. They came closer one after another, rushing into the bonfire like moths to the flame, and then in the flames

Turned into ashes, and before disappearing completely, they all had happy smiles on their faces, as if what they were facing was not the eternal end, but a kind of relief, a kind of relief from pain.

"Is this the effect of the rune of the royal city? Burning the soul and liberating the soul?" Leo couldn't help but be confused after seeing the effect of the rune of the ruined royal city.

Among the information he obtained, there were more than a dozen different runes from various areas of the abandoned capital, and there were only five runes in the royal city. The rune Leo is using now is one of them. There is a line of annotations at the end,

This is also something other runes don’t have.

In the annotation, it was mentioned that this rune is not unique to the royal city. In fact, there are similar runes in other parts of the abandoned city, and these places have a common feature, that is, there are no such runes around them.

An ash monster that loses its mind and attacks any living creature crazily.

Therefore, the explorers of the abandoned city who collected this rune believed that this rune had the effect of driving away ash monsters. They also made this rune into something similar to an amulet and asked everyone who entered the abandoned city to wear it.

Leo had obtained such an amulet from the expedition before entering the abandoned capital. However, he did not feel any power from the amulet. Now it seems that it is not that the amulet has no power, but that the dream world cannot activate the talisman on the amulet.

With the power of literature, it is impossible to form this kind of soul bonfire.

The amount of a bottle of magic pattern potion cannot last for long. Soon the effectiveness of the soul campfire rune will weaken as the potion is consumed and disappear quickly. The granite ground where the rune is located also withstood this extraordinary power.

, broke into small pieces.

At the moment when the bonfire disappeared, Leo saw the souls around him emitting bursts of mourning in unison. This mourning sound was not transmitted through sound waves, but directly acted on people's souls.

Leo could feel that this mournful cry contained a kind of magical power. If his accessory brain was still there and his will had not mutated, he would definitely be able to see the warning of will decline issued by the accessory brain system now.

Because of the strong will of being close to the Omega-level advanced creatures, Leo was not harmed even if he was in the center of this soul's lamentation. On the contrary, the monitors on the edge were affected by this lamentation.

When they arrived, they all fell to the ground unconscious.

This soul scream did not last for too long before it ended. However, after it ended, the sequelae caused by the soul bonfire runes did not end. Leo could feel that the surrounding spiritual magnetic field became more disordered and chaotic. This pair of

Those who want to use the psychic magnetic field here to do something will undoubtedly cause more trouble, and even some of the preparations made before will be in vain.

Leo doesn't care about how other people are affected. He is now concentrating on recording the process of the soul's scream and the frequency of psychic fluctuations. He feels that if he can reproduce the effect of the soul's scream through the power of nightmares, maybe he can

Turn it into your own exclusive witchcraft, which may produce extraordinary effects when fighting enemies.

After remembering the process of soul screams and psychic fluctuations, Leo stood up and prepared to leave. Due to the changes in the surrounding psychic magnetic field, the people from the dark world in the bow area would inevitably investigate the cause.

Staying here will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Hey! There's something." Just when Leo was about to leave and take away the Familia believer from the Eye of True Church, he stopped and looked towards the gravel pit where the runes were.
