"A small village that believes in corpse collectors, but is afraid of them?" Leo closed the scripture in his hand and quickly organized the harvested information in his mind.

It is obvious that this village belongs to the indigenous tribes of the Moissan continent. Judging from the degree of decay of the houses in the village, this village should have been built at least two hundred years ago, that is, during the Great Navigation Period.

During the Age of Discovery, more than half of the ships plying the sea between the three continents were slave ships.

The indigenous slaves transported from the Moissanite continent in the early days were all strong young men. They were mainly used as low-level labor force. However, as the demand for slaves from the Moissanite continent continued to increase, slaves engaged in different industries also came into being.

There were even slave merchants who specially trained these slaves and then sold them at high prices. Therefore, in the late Age of Discovery, most of the slaves transported on slave ships at sea were well-educated.

The people who built this village were probably a boatload of high-level slaves. They probably encountered some kind of shipwreck and eventually drifted to this island, and then survived.

As for the faith of the corpse collectors, they definitely do not come from the Mosang continent, because if there really is a belief in gods with complete church books, with the ability and power of the Orthodox Church and religious scholars from various countries, it is impossible not to know the existence of this church, so in the village

The belief in corpse collectors probably only appeared after coming to this island.

In addition, judging from the classics in Leo's hands, the people in this village have more fear and less respect for the corpse collectors. They also deliberately wrote on the cover of the scripture that the corpse collectors cannot approach the island.

This shows that the belief in corpse collectors in the village is a belief that is forced to take place due to some unknown reasons.

The last question is where have the people in these villages gone?

Judging from the remaining traces of the village, there was no fighting at all when the people in the village left. Everyone left voluntarily, even suddenly, because some houses still had tableware for dining, although inside

The food was completely rotten, but the remaining tableware still allowed Leo to know that these people were probably still eating when they left.

Although what happened in this village always revealed a hint of weirdness, Leo did not continue to pursue it. He picked up the Corpse Collector's Manual and prepared to put it into the storage space until he had time.

Watch slowly.

But what surprised him was that a force emerged from the Corpse Collector's Codex that seemed to be resisting his psychic powers, causing his psychic skills to store items into the storage space to fail. The Corpse Collector's Codex was still intact in his hands.

This result really surprised Leo, because just when he was reading the scripture, he had carefully inspected the bark book, and he could also confirm that this book was an ordinary bark book, and there was nothing in it.

Abnormal power fluctuations.

But just now, the bark book was resisting entering the storage space, causing his witchcraft to become ineffective. This did not occur to him in advance, and what puzzled him even more was that he did not know it from beginning to end.

Where did the power coming from the Corpse Collector's Scriptures come from? Even if he could indeed feel this power and capture this power, when the power disappeared, it completely disappeared without any remaining power fluctuations.

Leo tried several more times, but the result was the same, the books were resisting entering the storage space.

This strange situation made Leo feel that this bark book was not simple, and it contained power that he could not perceive and was also uncontrollable. The best countermeasure was to throw away the book and stay away from it.

.

After making a decision in his mind, Leo was about to throw the book in his hand back to the destroyed village, but before the throwing action was completed, he stopped and put the Corpse Collector's Manual in front of his eyes again.

He looked at the bark book with a serious expression.

"It's such a weird power. It's affected your mind and thoughts without even realizing it, and you're not aware of all the defensive measures on your body. If your will wasn't strong enough, and you feel something is wrong, I'm afraid it would have been as you wished!"

Looking at the scripture in his hand, Leo showed a contemptuous smile and spoke eloquently, which seemed to be directed at the scripture and talking to himself.

Just when he was about to throw the book out, Leo felt that something was wrong with his mentality. According to common sense, even if the book was weird, he would not throw it away and seemed to avoid it.

What's more, this book may contain answers to questions such as why the Corpse Collectors appeared in the world of Velen, and whether this island is the world of Velen. There is no way he would give up this book so easily, especially when he was still...

There is no way to determine whether the book is actually dangerous.

Therefore, when he was alert, the idea of ​​throwing away the books and staying away from here felt very strange no matter how he looked at it. It was obvious that this idea did not originate from him, but was the product of external influences.

However, just like before, even if Leo knew there was something weird about this thing, he still couldn't figure out what was weird.

Leo then tried to destroy the book, such as tearing off a page or directly burning it with fire, but the result was the same. No matter how hard he cast the spell or used force, he could not damage the book at all.

After repeated attempts to no avail and unable to find out the mystery of the book, Leo could only temporarily put the book in his coat pocket and search other places on the island to see if there were any other discoveries.

Afterwards, Leo went to the ruins of other basic settlements discovered by Spirit Network in the jungle.

The conditions of those ruins are all the same as those of the original settlements. Everyone left suddenly without any traces of fighting. Moreover, all villages have a temple, and there is also a scripture at the bottom of the statue of the temple. It’s just these scriptures

The gods targeted are all different, and they are all gods that Leo does not know, such as the Daughter of the Starry Sky, the stupid Yada, etc., all of which are names of gods that he has never heard of.

However, judging from the scriptures of these gods, although these gods have different religious rituals, all the scriptures mention the advent. According to the scriptures, as long as they get some kind of opportunity,

They can come to this world, and what the opportunity is is not mentioned in the scriptures, but a place called Yam is mentioned.

After exploring all the abandoned jungle villages that the spiritual network could find, Leo already had seven church classics in his hand, corresponding to seven different gods, and all of these scriptures could not be destroyed without exception.

However, what is different from the corpse collector's scripture is that the other six divine scriptures did not have any influence on him after he took it in his hand, such as affecting his thinking and making him throw away the scriptures. The same thing

These scriptures cannot be stored in storage spaces.

Looking at the divine scriptures piled up in his hands, Leo frowned, then took off his coat and made a suggested backpack, put all the scriptures together, carried them behind his back, and then moved towards the other side of the island

past.

Leo did not go directly through the jungle on the island, nor did he plan to climb the volcano, but walked along the edge of the beach and around the island.

Along the way, he saw a large number of shipwrecks, many of which were famous ships in the history of Velen.

For example, the Kingdom of Sigmar's first dreadnought ship, the San Fran, disappeared after serving for two years while transporting treasure from the Mosan continent back to the Kingdom of Sigmar. Some people speculated that it was because the treasure contained cursed items.

The ship encountered misfortune, but most people believed that the captain and crew of the St. Franco took advantage of the wealth and swallowed up the wealth, and they have been living incognito in other countries.

There is also the World's End, Velen Continent's first sea-circling exploration ship. After entering the era of great navigation, anyone with an adventurous spirit tried to sail a ship farther, and the first to do so was the World

End number.

This ship was the largest ship at the time. It was loaded with all the supplies needed by fifty crew members for half a year, as well as a seawater distillation device specially developed by Sigma Science Academy, which could directly turn seawater into drinking water. After everything was ready,

, the ship set off from the Port of Lyon, heading towards the endless sea in the west, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight, and there has been no news since.

After Leo discovered the World's End, he stopped for a while and searched the wreckage of the ship to see if he could find any information related to the adventure that year. In the end, he did not find such information as the captain's diary.

We can only judge from some residual traces on the ship that the ship was attacked by a huge creature, its keel was broken, and it eventually sank.

This also made Leo speculate about the huge creatures that attacked the ship, because the material used to make the keel of the ship was from a tree species of the World Tree in the Black Forest, and its strength was far stronger than steel.

Leo has done experiments and found that even after so many years of corrosion, he was unable to cause any damage to the keel. In terms of hardness alone, it is comparable to the materials used in the Earth Federation's space battleships.

But such a strong and indestructible keel was broken due to external force, and judging from the traces, the huge creature only used one attack.

Inferring from this, the power of that huge creature is probably equivalent to that of a ninth-level psyker, because in the Earth Federation, only the power of a ninth-level psyker can tear apart the outer protective armor of a space battleship.

Although the keel of this ship still contains powerful power, and the sturdiness of the keel itself can also be used as a material for making magical items for wizards, it is a pity that the keel is too big and cannot be placed in the storage space, so he can only

Use the twin sacrificial knives to cut off a small piece of the dragon bone with the strongest power fluctuation and place it in the storage space.

After that, although Leo still found many famous ships on the beach or on the seabed near the sea, and some of the sunken ships still had some strange psychic objects with obvious psychic fluctuations left in them, but he felt that he had entered the sea hastily.

I am afraid that I may encounter unknown dangers, so I just mark the locations of the sunken ships that I am interested in in my mind and wait for the opportunity to go there to explore and hunt for treasures.

In the afternoon, Leo rounded a protruding promontory and entered the other half of the island.

In fact, before entering this side of the world, Leo felt something abnormal. The most obvious thing was that after his spiritual network extended to the island on this side, it was suppressed by the abnormal energy that permeated the world. The scope of exploration and

The intensity weakened rapidly, becoming almost the same as when the psychic energy was first activated.

This suppressed situation became even more intense after he entered this half of the island. Not only was the exploration range of the spiritual network suppressed to within ten meters, but even the spiritual energy in his body was completely suppressed, as if this half of the island was suppressed.

The island is filled with an invisible force field that repels psychic energy.

It is precisely for this reason that the psychic creatures that can be seen everywhere on the other half of the island have disappeared here, and there is not a single sunken ship on the beach. Compared with the other island, it is a completely different world.

Leo moved his hands and feet, then tried to perform witchcraft, and then tried to take off the ring and perform witchcraft.

He soon discovered that the so-called spiritual suppression was just an illusion. In fact, his spiritual energy was not suppressed. It was just that after his spiritual energy was released, it would be rapidly weakened by some invisible force in the surrounding world, causing

Remove the illusion of weakened spiritual energy.

The most obvious evidence is that the power of all the witchcraft that needs to be released is greatly weakened, and even dissipates just after it is released, creating the illusion that the witchcraft is ineffective, but all the witchcraft does not need to be released, but strengthens its own power.

If you have witchcraft and psychic skills, there won't be any abnormalities, such as psychic vision.

In addition, he also found that after he took off the confinement ring and allowed his spiritual energy to reach its strongest state, the witchcraft released would not be more powerful than the witchcraft released by putting on the confinement ring. The change in power between the two could be said to be minimal, so

The limitation of spiritual energy by the surrounding heaven and earth should also be a constant and equal amount.

Leo carefully checked his body and found that apart from the limitation of spiritual energy, there were no other abnormalities on his body. The original power of his physical body could still be exerted intact, which was good news for him.

After adapting to the surrounding environment, Leo continued to walk along the beach. However, because he lost the exploration skill of Spiritual Network, he had to rely on his eyes blessed with spiritual vision to view the surrounding situation and find useful information.

After walking about two kilometers along the beach, Leo's eyes quickly spotted something interesting. In a low-lying land washed out by the tide near the beach, some nets were placed as traps.

Whenever the tide washes the fish into the low-lying areas, these nets will entangle the fish, making it impossible for them to escape.
