"Stay behind later. The smell of blood on your body is too strong and will attract the attention of those knights." Leo looked at Sylvia who was splashed with blood and said.

"Don't you have blood on your body?" Sylvia also pointed to the blood on Leo's body and hands and said.

Leo didn't just use the power of blood to produce slight vibrations on his clothes and body surface. Then he saw that all the blood seemed to be dripping down, and not a drop remained on Leo's body.

Sylvia saw the process of Leo using the power of blood, and felt in her heart that she should also look for this kind of power in her body when she has time, and maybe use it in the future.

After processing the blood on his body, Leo was about to continue walking forward, but after his eyes swept across the headless body at his feet, he stopped as if he had discovered something, then squatted down and took a closer look.

This passage is not in the remains of a battleship. There is no metal plate around it that can emit light for a long time. Although light sources such as braziers are installed at regular intervals, because these passages are rarely used, these braziers

None of them were lit, and the entire passage was pitch black.

In this environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to see objects clearly, but for Leo and Sylvia, this environment will not have any impact on them. Things that can be seen under normal circumstances can still be seen at this time.

See clearly.

The reason why the headless corpse underground caught Leo's attention was entirely because of the skin exposed on the neck of the corpse. The skin obviously did not look like human skin, but more like the skin of some kind of reptile.

After Leo confirmed this, he immediately took off the armor of the Royal Guard knight and also motioned to Sylvia to do so.

However, Sylvia only took off the helmets of the two Royal Guard knights who died in her hands and then stopped, because there was no need to take off the armor anymore and just looked at the heads of the two knights.

, it is already certain that these two knights of the Royal Guard are completely inhuman.

I saw that the appearance of these two heads was completely inhuman. A huge mouth was split on both sides until next to the ears. The mouth was filled with unevenly sharp teeth. There was only a hole left where the nose was.

The holes were covered with tentacle-like granulations, and only the eye sockets were left in place of the glasses, while the original eyeballs had been replaced by a mass of flesh covered with tiny horny spikes.

The headless corpse on the other side, whose armor was unbuttoned by Leo, also fully revealed the whole picture. Although he looked like a human from the outside, in fact he was very different from humans. The skin on the surface of the body was all that of reptiles.

The horny skin, hands and feet are all covered with tentacles, and there are some things that look like cancerous sarcomas on the chest. Each sarcoma has an eyeball inside.

"What the hell is this?" Sylvia couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Don't know?" Leo shook his head.

As he said, he couldn't figure out what the monsters in front of him were. At first, he guessed that they were some kind of Familia or mutants, but he couldn't find any Familia or mutants in his memory.

Their appearance matches the monster in front of them, and more importantly, their mutation pattern is completely different from that of the Familia and mutants.

The mutations of the dependents and mutants are caused by the influence of the power and cells of the superior beings, and no matter how strange their mutations are, they must conform to the power characteristics and appearance characteristics of the superior beings, but the mutations on the knights in front of us

But it's as if several different mutant powers have been kneaded together, and more importantly, they have mutated so severely, but their vital organs have not mutated along with their bodies.

Sylvia was a little surprised when she heard that Leo didn't know the origins of these knight mutants. Then she looked at the corpse at her feet and said, "The knights in the lounge didn't seem to have changed like this before?"

"Yes." Leo nodded, and then seemed to think of something. He squatted down and carefully inspected the armor on these royal guards, then pointed to some special-looking pattern badges on the armor, and said, "Although

The appearance of the armor is the same, but the badges on it are somewhat different. Do you know the meaning of these patterns?"

Sylvia followed Leo's fingers and looked over. After seeing the pattern on the armor, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly remembered something and said, "It's the badge of the Silent Knights."

"The Silent Knights?" Leo was stunned when he heard this, and quickly remembered the relevant information, and said: "Just the knights related to the Black Forest?"

"Yeah." Sylvia nodded.

Although the French Royal Guard externally presents itself as a complete knighthood, internally there are actually various small knighthoods of various sizes. However, due to various reasons, most of these small knighthoods have not been able to survive from establishment to disappearance.

There is no trace left in the history of the Knights of the French Empire, but the Silent Knights are different.

This is one of the few knights of the Royal Guards to participate in frontal wars as a separate knighthood. They are also the last knighthood to defeat the steam engine crossbow infantry phalanx on the frontal battlefield. It can be said that they are a knighthood.

The last light of the frontal battlefield era. From then on, no knights from any country were able to defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield. They all implemented tactics such as surprise attacks from the side battlefields or long-distance enemy rear areas.

There are many legends about the Silent Knights. This is not only because they are the last light of the Knights, but also because they appeared and disappeared very briefly, less than four months. Four months later, the Silent Knights announced their disbandment.

, never appeared again.

Because the Royal Guard knight armors they wear are all standard armor, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them from ordinary Royal Guard knights. The only thing they know is that each of them cannot speak, which also makes some people think that joining Silence

The prerequisite for the knighthood is to cut out the tongue.

"I didn't expect that the famous Silent Knights would look like this." Leo said something emotional without much emotion, and then analyzed: "Judging from their body structure, their physical fitness is indeed better than that of ordinary knights.

Much stronger, but this physical strength is not enough for them to defeat a legion of steam crossbows head-on. They should have other powers, but the environment here should limit them."

"If that is really the case, then the depth of the empire's research on artificial dependents may far exceed our expectations. You must know that the Silent Knights appeared more than fifty years ago, which means that the empire has already

We have started some experiments and have mature methods." Sylvia frowned and muttered, with a slightly worried look on her face. Then she seemed to feel that this was not the place to think about problems, so she said: "Let's go

Come on! These things are none of our business. I will report this matter when I get back. It’s up to them how they want to handle it."

Leo nodded and didn't waste any more time on the corpse of the Silent Knights. He continued to walk forward. After walking a certain distance and approaching the exit of the passage, he asked Sylvia to stay away, and then

Sneaking forward quietly, he quickly walked out of the passage and came to the edge of a small square that was not very big. After carefully checking the surrounding situation, he quickly walked along the dark corners of the square.

He moved to the door of the guard room, and while throwing the stun grenade into the room again, without hiding his figure, he rushed directly towards several knights of the Silent Knights outside the guard room who looked like they were on routine patrol.

Unprepared, these patrolling Knights of the Silent Knights did not even have time to realize what happened before they died at Leo's hands. In the guard room on the other side, the other Knights of the Silent Knights also followed the same pattern as before.

Like their colleagues, they either fainted to the ground or became paralyzed under the influence of stun grenades.

Sylvia saw Leo making a move from a distance, and immediately rushed towards the guard room. While Leo was getting rid of several members of the Silent Knights outside, she also rushed into the guard room and scanned the room with her eyes.

After taking a quick look, he quickly dealt with those remaining Silent Knights.

"The famous Silent Knights just disappeared silently in the hands of you and me." Leo came to the guard room and looked at the corpses on the ground and said.

Sylvia didn't have much emotion, but said disapprovingly: "There are countless knights who have disappeared silently in this world. The Silent Knights are neither the most powerful nor the most famous."

The two of them did not pay too much attention to the fact that the Silent Knights were destroyed by their own hands. Their attention quickly focused on the treasure house door not far from the exit on the other side of the guard room.

Sylvia opened the door and walked out of the guard room, walked to the treasure house door, looked at Leo who walked next to her and asked: "Is it just an ordinary door? Is there anything hidden?

Traps, traps, etc.?"

It turned out that the door in front of them was very different from the treasure house door they had guessed before. This door was just an ordinary metal door, and apart from a very old-style card lock, there was nothing else to be found on the door.

Nothing worth noting.

According to Leo and Sylvia's previous speculations, this treasure house gate is either a high-tech gate modified from the remains of a prehistoric civilization, that is, a battleship, or it is a mysterious power gate with various protective powers or Turing arrays on the surface, but

The ordinary metal gate with no defense in front of them was a bit beyond their expectations.

Leo thought for a moment and speculated: "This basement should have been built later. Even if there are still usable remains of prehistoric civilizations, I'm afraid the builders won't know how to use them. As for the door containing mysterious power, it is not available now.

Under such circumstances, it is even more unlikely that it will work.”

Sylvia nodded in agreement.

Then, Leo motioned to Sylvia to step back a little, then reached out and twisted the latch on the door, then grabbed the two dust-covered pull rings on the door handle and slowly pulled the door open.

Although Leo believed that there could no longer be any dangerous traps or traps on the door, he was still very careful when he pulled it, ready to let go and retreat at any time.

But as the door slowly opened, the danger he was worried about did not appear, and everything was very peaceful.

"Is it that simple?" Sylvia didn't feel any danger, so she walked to Leo's side, looked at the treasure house inside the door, and said in disbelief.

"It seems, it's that simple!" Leo responded in the same tone, and then he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "We seem to be overthinking."

In fact, if you think about it carefully as a bystander, you will feel that the two of them have indeed thought too much. Whether it is the current French Emperor Louis X or the previous builders, I am afraid they will all after the death of building this place

I think that if someone can break into the core of the palace, it means that the French Empire is too late, and there is no point in adding any defensive measures to the door.

After thinking about this, Leo and Sylvia began to focus on the treasure house. The area of ​​this treasure house was not small, but there were not many things. Every thing was separated very far and was not close to each other.

Together, it seems that this should be a treasure trove where special items were stored by Emperor Fran.

Leo's eyes swept through the treasure house and soon found his primary target, the contract ring.

At this moment, the ring is lying quietly on a stone platform in the center of the treasure house, surrounded by other mysterious items that look unusual.

However, after Leo took a cursory glance at the surrounding items and felt that there was nothing wrong with them, and was about to step forward to take away the contract ring, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a stone statue placed on a stone platform.

The reason why this stone statue attracted him was not only because he felt that the mysterious power that shrouded this place all came from this stone statue, but more importantly, he had seen this stone statue before, right where the stone throne was.

In the stone pillar space, this stone statue is the stone sculpture on the top of one of the stone pillars.

"Why are things here?" Leo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"What?" Sylvia looked at Leo with a puzzled look.

Leo didn't answer, but turned to Sylvia and said, "Go and collect all the valuable things you see."

After saying that, he walked directly towards the stone sculpture. When passing by the stone platform where the contract ring was stored, he took off the ring and put it on his hand.

When Leo came to the stone sculpture, he did not rush to put his hand on it. Instead, he leaned down and looked carefully at the strange patterns on the stone sculpture. What surprised people was that the mysterious power that shrouded this place came from.
