Everything around seemed very peaceful, everything was so quiet, except for the snoring of people falling asleep, there was no sound around.

But even the guards who were keeping watch all fell into a deep sleep, and there was obviously something wrong with this calmness.

Leo got off the cart and walked around the camp. He walked very slowly and checked all the tents. He not only relied on the mental network to check, but also entered the tents to carefully check the sleeping conditions of these people.

. He found that except for the two young people who were unconscious during the day, everyone else had fallen into a deep sleep state, and if he used spiritual vision to observe, he could also see a ring on the forehead of these people.

's imprint.

What's strange is that Leo can't feel any power from this mark, whether it's a spiritual network or supernormal perception. He can't find any clues from these people that lead to their drowsiness.

In addition, he also tried to use the eyeballs of the Abyss Serpent, but he still found nothing. There was no trace of the power of the abyss in the castle. On the contrary, there was power of the abyss gathering in the forest outside the city. Through his spiritual vision, he could find that the power of the abyss was gathering.

The power of the abyss is because the escaped giant pythons are choosing a new king.

After eliminating the influence of the power of the abyss, Leo carefully checked the surrounding situation. The result was still nothing, and there was no abnormality at all.

Just when Leo was puzzled by the current situation, he suddenly felt some faint movement in the tattoo on his back. This tattoo came from the re-copy of the Book of Night from the Sigh of the Night God, and was also the source of the power of nightmares.

.

Because there are too many divine marks on his body, although Leo has restricted these divine marks, these divine marks still produce some meaningless energy fluctuations, making Leo often subconsciously ignore these energy fluctuations.

However, the energy fluctuations emitted by the nightmare tattoo behind him are completely different from those meaningless and irregular fluctuations. The fluctuations it emits are regular, just like some kind of signal wave.

After discovering this situation, Leo also had some guesses in his mind, and mobilized the power of nightmares to channel it into his spiritual vision.

With the injection of nightmare power, the scene before Leo's eyes immediately changed unknownly. The sky was no longer pitch black, but turned silver-blue, and the surroundings were no longer ancient ruins covered with vines.

It is not a castle, but a complete castle. At this moment, in the upper castle, the top of the meeting hall that should have been destroyed by Zadi is shining with bursts of gray-blue light, and pipe-like pipes extend from the light.

tentacle.

These tentacles fell from the air, penetrated all obstacles, and landed on everyone's forehead. The front end of the tentacles was something like a suction cup, which was pressed tightly against the forehead. This was what Leo had seen through spiritual vision before.

The origin of the ring mark that arrived.

In the entire camp, only the two people who were unconscious before had no tentacles on their foreheads, because they still had a trace of the power of the abyss in their bodies, and this trace of the power of the abyss prevented the tentacles from approaching.

This does not mean how powerful the power of the abyss is, it simply means that the power represented by the tentacles is extremely disgusted with the power of the abyss, just like a normal person would not be interested in a piece of shit on the ground, or even reach out to touch it.

After discovering the situation, Leo quickly came up with a way to rescue the people in the caravan. In fact, it was very simple. He just imitated the two young people and infected everyone with a little power of the abyss. This should be able to make those tentacles spontaneously move.

Get away.

However, Leo did not do this. He did not know whether the current situation would change after letting these tentacles break away. Compared with rescuing the people in the caravan, he was more interested in the situation in the upper castle chamber.

Be more interested.

So, Leo followed the stone steps to the upper level of the castle and walked towards the meeting hall.

Leo remembered that he had also inspected this meeting hall during the day. At that time, he found an abyss mark here. Because abyss marks had been found in other rooms, he did not pay attention to the abyss mark.

Thinking about it now, he felt that this Abyss Mark was different from other Abyss Marks. The other Abyss Marks were damaged, but most of the damage was caused by the wear and tear of time and the growth of vines, and the damage was not very serious.

Seriously, only the mark of the abyss inside the council chamber was most seriously damaged.

The abyss mark in the meeting hall is the kind of fragmentation caused by the impact of external forces. A large number of cracks are all over the mark, completely destroying the mark. If Leo were not very familiar with this abyss mark, it would be difficult to find out from the crack lines that this is the mark.

A mark of the abyss.

Obviously, this abyss mark once conflicted with a certain force, which ultimately caused the destruction of the abyss mark. This force is probably the force that appears in the conference hall now and causes abnormal fluctuations in the power of nightmare.

Soon, Leo arrived in front of the door of the meeting hall. During the day, the meeting hall was completely dilapidated, the roof had fallen off, and the door had long since disappeared, with only a broken arched door frame standing there.

But now the meeting hall in front of Leo is intact, just like the new one. The door is made of solid wood, with a bronze skin that emits golden light inlaid on the outside, and the stories of some legendary heroes are engraved on the surface.

Leo paused at the door for a moment, checked his equipment, then stepped forward and backed away from the door.

As the door opened, a burst of noise immediately came from inside. The noise was mixed with some ancient music from the Kingdom of Maris, and the aroma of wine and barbecue also came over. A grand banquet was being held.

Appeared in Leo's eyes.

I saw that all the people attending the banquet were people wearing ancient Maris armor. Among them were ordinary warriors wearing simple leather armor, and there were also noble knights in gorgeous clothes. At this moment, they all put their identities aside and happily

During the banquet, when the meat on the table is finished, a servant will bring another basin. When the wine in the glass is finished, a servant will refill it for them. They are completely immersed in the joyful banquet.

Even an outsider like Leo didn't know when he entered.

After Leo saw everything in front of him, his expression was slightly stunned, because in his eyes and in his mental network, everything in front of him was real, everyone was alive, and the food and drinks on the table were also real.

, and he also found that there was an invisible force around him affecting his mind, making him agree in his heart that everything in front of him was real.

However, fortunately, the power of nightmare in him is extremely resistant to the influence of this invisible force, allowing him to always remain awake.

Leo's eyes glanced around the meeting hall and landed on the armored knight sitting in the chief position of the meeting hall.

The armor on this knight is the most gorgeous in the entire chamber. The armor is made of composite armor pieces. Each piece of armor can move freely and will not bring any stability to the wearer's movements. The armor pieces

The surface is also engraved with exquisite patterns, and coupled with the matching lion helmet, this set of armor looks more like a fine piece of art than a defensive weapon.

Leo immediately paid attention to this knight because he had seen this set of armor in a book called World Famous Armor. This set of armor is called the Lion Scale Armor. It is said that each piece of this set of armor is forged.

It is often necessary to repeatedly extract the essential oil extracted from an adult scale lion. It is said that this will give each piece of armor the defense power of an adult scale lion.

The problem is that this set of lion scale armor is now stored in the Maris Kingdom Military Museum, and it is impossible for the outside world to have a second set of such armor.

What's more interesting is that the last owner of this armor was France Jiekun, the last member of the Jiekun family, and this France Jiekun was also the top general of the castle who died in a sneak attack.

When he took up his post here, he did not wear the armor inherited from his family, so after his death, the armor was taken away by his creditors. It later fell into the hands of the Maris Kingdom government and became the Kingdom Museum.

's collection.

Now that this armor appeared here and was worn on a knight, Leo instantly guessed that this person's identity was probably France Jacques.

In addition to the armor, another thing that made Leo notice this knight was the power of nightmares on his body. He discovered that a force in the chamber that induced the power of nightmares was on the knight, and this force

Power should be the source of all the scenes in front of me and the tentacles outside the house.

After discovering the source, Leo walked directly towards the knight without stopping, and then stood in front of him.

The other person seemed to be a dead man without any reaction to the person standing in front of him, but Leo's eyes moved away from the knight at this moment and fell on a book placed on the knight's lap.

Leo originally thought that the source of power was in the knight, but now it seems that it comes from this book. Although the book is blurry in his eyes, he can feel that this book has the same power as the Book of Night.

Book similar energy fluctuations.

"Is this another derivative book of Night God's Sigh, or is it a fragment of Night God's Sigh?" Leo immediately had some thoughts in his mind after seeing this book, and then he reached out and prepared to pick up the book.

However, his hand passed through the book that gave him the feeling of real existence, and fell on the knight's body, and the knight's body seemed to be made of dust, and it completely melted under his touch.

It scattered and disappeared, and the book that could not be picked up fell to the ground.

At this moment, all the sounds in the entire conference hall stopped, and the conference hall became silent.

Leo turned around and looked around, and saw that everyone was staying motionless at the moment. Some people were still holding wine glasses and food in their hands. Some of the jugglers were even jumping in the air, and their bodies

They are all fixed in the air.

And just when Leo's eyes fell on these people, their heads turned suddenly. Some people even turned their backs to him, and their heads turned 180 degrees, and the eyes on these people's heads were

Everything was as dark as ink, as empty as the deep universe, but he could feel the sight projected on him from these empty eyes.

"What is this? Hostility?" If an ordinary person faced this situation, they would only feel fear, but Leo felt a little bored and ridiculous.

At this moment, all the people slumped to the ground like melted candles, and then quickly gathered in the middle of the hall like soft mud, and soon formed a large group.

But Leo didn't just stand there stupidly. He quickly activated his psychic energy and used the thunder gun skill. He quickly condensed a throwing spear made of thunder in his right hand, and the power contained in the throwing spear was still following the psychic energy.

The operation is continuously strengthened.

At this time, the large ball of ooze had condensed into a huge monster with countless tentacles. However, most of its body had not yet completely condensed and still looked like ooze.

At this time, Leo did not continue to strengthen the thunder gun in his hand, and directly threw the thunder gun in his hand towards the monster.

The speed of the thunder gun was extremely unexpected, and it penetrated into the monster almost like a flash. The huge thunderstorm spread out instantly, trapping the monster in it, separating it, and destroying it, leaving only a pile of ashes and a strong burning smell.

odor.

Although the monster disappeared, the lightning and thunder generated by the thunderstorm had not ended yet. Instead, it quickly spread around as if along some invisible wire, and soon covered the entire conference hall, and everything in the conference room was

It burned like a ignited curtain and turned into ashes, while the original, real and dilapidated meeting hall also emerged.

At this time, the last thunderbolt fell on the book in front of Leo. Leo seemed to hear an extremely shrill scream, and then the whole book collapsed, leaving only three pages falling on the ground.

On the ground.

Although everything had been restored to its original state, Leo did not rush to pick up the pages on the ground. He carefully used various methods to explore the situation of the three pages. After feeling no danger, he reached out to pick up the pages, and

When I went to pick up the pages of the book, I also placed the power of nightmare on my palm to prevent any accidents.

However, the moment his hand touched the page, the page instantly turned into ashes, as if the power of the thunder gun had completely destroyed the page.

But Leo knew that was not the case, because at the same time that the pages of the book were destroyed, he felt some itching on his back.

After that, he took off his clothes and used his spiritual energy to create a mirror behind him. He saw the tattoo on the back, and then discovered that the tattoo on the back was slowly changing, turning into nine intertwined rings, and in these nine rings
Chapter completed!
