Chapter 829 Initial investigation
The three people who continued on the road did not talk about what they saw last night, but accelerated their pace.
I don't know if it was the good luck brought about by last night's scene. They didn't encounter too strong wind and snow all day, and walked smoothly. They arrived at Cullenville almost in the evening.
Before leaving, Leo collected some information about Cullenville. He discovered that Cullenville is not just a fishing town. It is also the second largest port in Dalyat and the largest fishing port. Shipments are shipped from here to the south every year.
There are countless northern catches from all over the country, and people living in Cullenville are either fishermen or workers in catch processing workshops.
Unlike other places that have long started to use steam engine equipment to process the catch, Cullenville has always used manual operations to process the catch. Coupled with the original delicacy of silver barracuda, the supply of catch here exceeds demand and the price remains high.
, is one of the high-end ingredients in the world.
Cullenville started as a small fishing village and has now become the second largest seaport. It has undergone seven expansions. It is only because of the builder's disregard for urban planning that these expansions have made the roads and urban areas of the entire city very confusing.
, almost everyone who comes to Cullenville thinks that Cullenville is a huge maze, and you don’t know where you are going if you don’t pay attention.
When the three Leos arrived at the outskirts of Cullenville, Cullenville, shrouded in blood mist in the distance, appeared in front of them. The blood mist was so thick that even the strong sea breeze could not blow it away. The buildings in the city were covered in blood mist.
It's also blurry.
At this time, a group of troops who had been stationed here for a long time to prevent others from breaking in stopped the three of them. They also said that Leo and the others regarded them as idle curiosity hunters and prepared to drive them away.
However, after showing the certificate issued by the palace minister Kerry Fao, these army people understood that Leo and the others were invited by the palace minister to investigate the blood mist, so they no longer stopped the three people from entering, but just looked at the three people's eyes.
There was a hint of sympathy, as if they had foreseen that the three of them would never return.
"Did the people who went to the city to investigate leave anything behind?" When the soldier officer was about to take the people away to continue patrolling elsewhere, Leo suddenly stopped him and asked.
The officer looked at Leo, who was in full armor, and then at the two abyss swords, then turned to the soldiers aside and said, "Take them to the warehouse and give them the things those people left behind.
"
After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately walked up to Leo and asked the three of them to follow him. Then they walked a certain distance to the north and came to an abandoned small village on the outskirts of Cullenville.
Now this small village has become a barracks for the garrisoned troops. Because it is not on the front line of the battlefield, the guard here seems to be very lax. They only asked the soldiers a few words without verifying the situation, and just let them in.
After that, the soldier led the three people to an open space, pointed to the house in the middle of the open space, and said: "All the things you want are inside. After the person from the previous investigation team also disappeared there, the head sealed this place.
It's gone, things are still the same as before, we haven't touched them."
Leo could see that not only this soldier was wary of this house, but also the other soldiers in the military camp. They did not dare to go near this house, and even demolished the houses around the house to create an open space.
, leaving only this house standing alone here.
"Is there anything weird in this house?" Sylvia, who also noticed something was wrong, asked the soldier directly.
I don't know if it was because of Sylvia's amazing appearance or her ability. The soldier who was still a little nervous calmed down a little and then told the story about this house.
It turned out that after the accident of the last investigation team, some soldiers with empty pockets in the stationed army wanted to see if they could find anything from the relics of the investigation team to sell, so they exchanged positions with the soldiers who patrolled at night.
After nightfall, when everyone was asleep, they took advantage of their duties and sneaked into this room to steal something inside.
After that, no one knew what happened to those people in the house. It was only when the soldiers from the next group came to change the guard that they found that the people were missing, which alerted the officers in the army.
At first, the officers just thought that these soldiers were absent from their posts and went to nearby towns to have fun. However, when they searched the hut, they found that all the soldiers who had disappeared before were here, but each of them had dug up
Their eyes were pierced, their ears were pierced, their tongues were cut out, and all the skin from their chests to their abdomens was peeled off. Moreover, these people were still alive at the time and not dead.
Afterwards, after investigation, it was found that the tragic injuries on these people were all caused by themselves, and the things they took out were neatly placed in some jars in the house.
Because of this incident, everyone in the entire military camp knew that the missing investigation team should have found something from Cullenville. However, the palace sent people to investigate, but nothing was found. In the end, they could only find something.
The things were temporarily sealed here, and the people in the military camp were also worried about encountering any unforeseen disaster, so they demolished all the buildings around the house and created a simple isolation zone.
After listening to the soldier's narrative, Sylvia turned to Leo and asked: "What do you think of this matter?"
"There is a force entrenched there, much like the power of sin." When the soldier introduced the situation, Leo's mental network had already sensed the situation there clearly, and he said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he walked towards the room, with Sylvia and Tessa Mocha following closely behind.
When she arrived at the door of the house, Tessa Moka frowned, looking at the house with a look of disgust on her face, and said: "There is something very evil in this."
Sylvia rolled her eyes at the other person and said, "We know this kind of thing without you having to tell us."
At this time, Leo opened the door of the house, walked in, and said to Sylvia who was about to follow him: "Don't come in yet."
After saying that, without waiting for Sylvia to respond, she closed the door.
Sylvia frowned, didn't say much, and stood waiting outside the door with Tessa Mocha.
The reason why Leo didn't let Sylvia enter this room was because the power of this room was a bit weird. The moment he opened the door, he actually felt the crystallized snake in his arm about to move. Apparently, there was something similar to sin in the room.
The source of the power was inexplicably attracted to the power of the abyss. He was worried that the blood of the abyss dragon in Sylvia's body would be attracted by this power and undergo unpredictable changes, so he blocked Sylvia at the door.
outside.
Entering the door, Leo looked at everything in front of him. This room was converted from a warehouse and was divided into two floors. The upper floor should be a place for rest, and the lower floor is a place for research. There are some places on the lower floor.
Tables and shelves placed some material bottles and tools on these tables and shelves.
Leo sensed the source of the sinful power through the crystallized snake, and walked directly towards the source.
He walked to the second floor and found that the beds and wardrobes on the second floor had been moved to the side, leaving a large space in the middle.
There is a pattern similar to a magic circle in the open space. Some transparent jars containing eyeballs, tongues, human skin and other human wonders are placed around the magic circle, which looks like some kind of ritual is being performed.
There is a book placed in the middle of the magic circle. However, this book is very special. It cannot be seen with ordinary eyesight. It can only be seen clearly through spiritual vision. This book is also the power similar to sinful karma.
source.
The book was right in front of him, but Leo did not rush forward to pick it up. Instead, he carefully looked at the magic circle arranged on the ground.
This magic circle is very different from the Turing root arrangement method in the Velen world. There are no mystical elements related to the Velen world in it. It is conceivable that this magic array should not be from the Velen world, just like the rune methods that Leo knows.
Arrays and warlock arrays also come from other worlds.
Leo tried to find content related to this magic circle in the knowledge of the abyss and the abyss of sin, and soon he found some clues. There were two symbols in this magic circle that represented the eternity of the two monsters in the abyss.
The Sin of Eutus and the Card of Gluttony.
There is not much information about these two monsters. Leo only knows that these two monsters are wandering between the abyss and the abyss of sin. They are two very famous monsters in the abyss, and it seems that many abyssal creatures want to kill them.
, but they are always able to survive, which means that their strength is extraordinary.
"Is this summoning Yutos and Ka?" Leo looked carefully again. The scene in front of him looked more like a sacrifice, and he couldn't help but think of what he did in Fringilla Manor.
He soon determined that the magic circle was not dangerous, because the magic circle itself seemed incomplete, and in the end the entire ceremony was not completed.
Thinking of this, Leo stepped forward and picked up the transparent book on the ground. The moment he picked up the book, Leo felt a power of both the abyss and the abyss of sin penetrate into his body.
Some auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears, and a complete magic circle pattern and ritual process emerged in his mind, and a strong impulse surged in his heart to complete this magic circle and ritual.
For ordinary people, this impulse is strong enough to make anyone lose their mind, enough to prompt them to do any crazy thing, but for Leo, this impulse is like a breeze, only making him feel slightly cool.
The power that penetrated into his body was immediately swallowed by the crystallized snake before he could cause trouble. And as the power was swallowed, the transparent book in his hand also revealed its shape, and the energy around him caused the crystallized snake to move abnormally.
The fluctuations also subsided.
The book in Leo's hand was made of some kind of animal skin, and its surface was engraved with symbols and patterns that would make ordinary people go crazy just by looking at it. He was not in a hurry to open the book, but held it
Shu came downstairs, opened the door, and motioned for the two people outside the room to come in.
After Sylvia and Tessa Moka entered the room, they immediately saw the book in Leo's hand.
The two people had completely different reactions when they saw this book. Tessa Moka's face became extremely ugly as if she had seen something terrible, and she closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, and took two steps back.
Stay away from this book.
Sylvia came forward and looked at the book in Leo's hand excitedly, with a surprise smile on her face.
"What do you know this book is?" Leo asked after seeing Sylvia's performance.
"Yeah!" Sylvia nodded, then looked at Tessa and said covertly: "Among the knowledge I got, there are records about this book, but in my memory this book should have been
It’s better to destroy it.”
"This book should indeed be destroyed. You can feel the evil of this book just by looking at it." Tessa Moka suddenly interjected at this time: "I can even feel that nature is distorted in this book. This
This book is completely unnatural and I suggest that it be destroyed."
"Only a fool would destroy it!" Sylvia turned around and glared at Tessa Mocha, then shouted at her: "Do you know the value of this book? You don't understand anything, but you don't know anything.
They will also shout to destroy it!"
"Hmph!" Tessa Mocha didn't refute but just snorted coldly.
"What's the name of this book?" Leo asked.
"It's called Confessions!" Sylvia said solemnly.
"Confessions?" Leo couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this name, because judging from this name, it seemed to be talking about a church book, not a book about the abyss.
"The name is very strange, isn't it!" Sylvia smiled and said: "No one knows how this book appeared in the abyss. They just know that any abyss creature that has seen this book will not be able to bear it if it cannot bear it."
With the power of the Confessions, they will confess their past mistakes from the bottom of their hearts, and then they will sacrifice all their most precious belongings to the Confessions, including their lives."
"What if it can withstand the power of the Confessions?" Leo asked again.
"I don't know." Sylvia shook her head and said: "As far as I know, there seems to be no abyss creature that can withstand the power of Confessions."
After listening to Sylvia's description, Leo frowned slightly, and at the same time there was a look of confusion on his face, because he really couldn't feel any powerful power in this confession book.
"This confession is fake." At this time, Sylvia stood in front of the book and looked at the patterns on it carefully, and suddenly said.
"Fake?" Leo was not surprised, because he had the same thought just now.
"If it's a true confession, I'm afraid you and I were already infected by it as soon as we got close, and then went crazy. How could we still have such a calm conversation?" Sylvia simply responded, and then touched the cover with her finger.
Chapter completed!
