Chapter 1001 Lighthouse

"Although he is a hardliner, it's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible. Among the senior clergymen of the Sea God Church I have seen, he should be the most politician-like one. Everything is considered in terms of interests," Xi said. Seeing Leo's doubtful expression, Sylvia explained: "So when dealing with someone like him, as long as you can afford enough benefits to make him tempted or enough problems to make him sell the benefits, then things will be easy to negotiate." , "As she spoke, her tone became more resentful, and she said, "Unlike those other clergymen, who said God's will in their mouths, they don't give you any room for negotiation."

Although Sylvia didn't go into details, it was not difficult for Leo to feel her resentment from her tone. Obviously, she should have been angry with the priests of the Sea God Church in the past.

Seeing that Sylvia had already found a good negotiating partner, Leo, who didn't know much about the Sea God Church, didn't have much to do, so he gave random opinions. He just asked Sylvia to ask his servant to call him With a cry, he left the office and walked towards Castle Black's lighthouse on the edge of the cliff.

The lighthouse that existed before Castle Black was built on the protruding bow rock on the edge of the sea-watching cliff. This rock is famous for its protruding bow shape, but it was also known as Death Rock in ancient times. .

Because right below the top of Chuantou Rock is the most famous undercurrent coast of Wanghai Cliff, if you jump from here, you will be swept away by the undercurrent, and even the corpse cannot be found, so there has been a rumor for a long time, It is said that this leads to the kingdom of God, but because living people cannot bear the power of the ocean, they will be swept away by ocean currents halfway, and only the dead can safely reach the final destination.

Because of this, Randall has been popular for a long time after people die, throwing people into the cold wave coast below, letting the corpses and coffins be swept away by the undercurrent, and disappearing into the sea forever. It is to enter the kingdom of gods and enjoy happiness forever.

After that, the Church of the Sea God developed in Randall, and Shiphead Rock became the designated place for the Church of the Sea God to hold various ceremonies, and most of the religious ceremonies that Leo saw from the materials were held here, and Even today, some religious ceremonies still choose to be held here.

But this place has become private land after all, so the Sea God Church also needs to pay some price for performing the ceremony here.

When Castle Black was first built, the British royal family did not dismantle the lighthouse because of the intervention of the Church of Sea God. Instead, they built a wall around the lighthouse and opened an exclusive road from the inner castle to the lighthouse, bypassing the main castle. .

After Sylvia took over Castle Black, she built two gates at both ends of the road. The gates were specially made of a kind of exorcism wood, and some Turing roots were engraved on the surface. These Turing characters The main function of the root is to dissipate the special energy.

I don't know if Sylvia thinks that the effect of Turing's radical alone is not enough. She also installed two improved energy interference devices on both sides of the gate.

When Leo expressed his intention to visit the lighthouse last night, Sylvia told him about the lighthouse.

When she took over Castle Black, she also heard about the lighthouse, so she paid special attention to the lighthouse, and conducted a series of inspections on the lighthouse, but it turned out that no abnormalities were found.

But even so, Sylvia is still in awe of the lighthouse, because she always feels that the lighthouse is full of a powerful force, but she doesn't know what this powerful force is, where it comes from, and even through various methods. None of the methods could find any evidence of the existence of this powerful force that made her feel vaguely.

Ordinary people would only think that this is just an illusion caused by their excessive nervousness, but Sylvia didn't think so, and still attached great importance to this lighthouse, which is why these two doors and two energy interference devices came into existence.

When Leo passed by the two doors and the energy interference device, he confirmed it himself, and found that although they did not play a big role, they also had some effects. At least he could feel that the abyssal power in his body was also affected. effects of these two things.

When he passed through the gate and entered the range of the lighthouse, Leo felt that the repulsion of superhuman powers around him reached the extreme, and he could no longer even use psionic power, which was more than ten times stronger than the repelling power of Castle Black. .

The same power of the abyss is not included in the exclusion, but this also made Leo discover a detail, and this detail made Leo feel that the situation here is completely different from the abyss fissure, this detail is that the repulsion power here is only It rejects all power except the abyss, but it does not give a certain blessing to the abyss power like the abyss field created by the abyss fissure, so that the abyss power can exert extraordinary power that cannot be exerted elsewhere.

It is also this subtle difference that makes Leo determine that the situation here is not the abyss domain, but simply rejects all extraordinary powers except the abyss.

This lighthouse is a typical flange-style lighthouse, with a huge square base, a straight tower body, and a bulbous lamp post at the top. The people of Flanders call it the Hammer of Light, while people in other countries call it the Hammer of Light. Willing to call it by male genitalia.

From the surface, there is nothing worthy of attention in this lighthouse. It is a lighthouse. The only difference between it and other lighthouses is that there is an extra altar in front of the lighthouse, where the prow corner is the most prominent. Judging from the stone , this altar should have been built later.

Leo did not go up to the lighthouse, but went to the altar to have a look, and then walked to the top of the prow corner at the front of the altar, perhaps for the convenience of putting in sacrifices, there is no protective device here, a flat stone road extends to the front, and then disappeared, replaced by towering cliffs.

Standing on the edge, Leo stretched his head and looked down at the dark tide sea area below. What caught his eyes was a calm and deep sea, a weird sea.

Not far away, the tumbling waves were as high as ten meters, and they slammed heavily on the reefs along the coast, as if they were about to smash the reefs. But when the waves approached this sea area, the furious ocean seemed to be driven by some unknown force. Appeased, all the sea waves calmed down instantly, becoming as calm as other places in this sea area.

However, it is this kind of calm sea that produces a force that Leo cannot perceive. This force easily passes through all the defenses of his body, affects his thinking, and makes him involuntarily produce a strong , The urge to jump down.

However, Leo's willpower was extraordinary after all, he quickly suppressed this impulse, withdrew his gaze from the sea, and retreated to the altar behind.

Leo knew that the situation just now was not entirely due to the mysterious power contained in the ocean below. This special environment would also make people looking down from above have a strong urge to jump down, and that extraordinary power It just magnifies this impulse.

Leo also felt that this situation should not be normal, it was just a coincidence, and no one else even knew about this situation, otherwise, Sylvia would definitely remind him to pay attention.

But there is one thing Leo can be sure of now, that is, the mysterious power contained in the undertide sea below Wanghai Cliff is not the same as the mysterious power contained in Wanghai Cliff itself, because the nature of the two forces is completely different.

In order to confirm his guess, Leo stuck his head out of the platform again and looked at the sea below, but the strong impulse just now did not reappear, the mysterious power of the sea below has disappeared, and the rest is just a normal psychological phenomenon. generated impulse.

At this time, the sea surface was no longer that kind of absolute calm. The waves coming from outside gradually pushed the sea surface up and down, and finally made the sea below become rough like other coasts, with splashes everywhere.

Seeing this scene, the first thing that came to Leo's mind was the corpse collector who had become his rival. It felt like the corpse collector just took advantage of the situation and used his strength to try to make him jump into the sea and catch him .

But this idea was quickly rejected by Leo, because if it was really a corpse collector, his power would never be so weak, and entering the world of Velen would be extremely dangerous for a non-velen god like him. It is obviously not worthwhile to make such a big sacrifice for his uncaught prey. People with a little bit of wisdom and who know how to calculate gains and losses would not do this, let alone a god.

This can only show that there is a force hidden in the sea below. This force will not appear normally, and will only be revealed when certain conditions are met. As for the specific conditions, Leo is not clear for the time being. As for this Whether a force is the force that swept away those corpses also needs to find further evidence to get the answer.

Leo stepped back, checked the altar carefully, and walked up to the lighthouse after finding nothing useful.

The interior of this lighthouse is very simple, consisting of four layers of spiral stairs, a lighthouse top, and three layers of platforms. Each layer of the platform should be used to store sundries or prepare for the tower keeper, but now everything has been taken away. Cleaned up, leaving only the empty platform.

Originally, Leo thought that there was nothing to investigate on these emptied platforms. After all, when clearing the sundries on the platform, whether it was people from the Sea God Church or others, they should have carefully checked here, and it is impossible to have any more I didn't find anything, but when Leo passed through the first platform, walked up the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, walked halfway up the spiral staircase, and looked down the platform inadvertently, he found some abnormal things. place.

"This is...?" Leo stopped immediately after discovering the abnormality, and then carefully inspected the abnormal places he found. Looking at the platform at different positions of the spiral staircase on each floor, he finally said suspiciously: "The tower wizard is also involved?"

The anomaly that Leo discovered just now is actually a very special tower emblem. This emblem is composed of dozens of stone slabs. The color of these stone slabs is not much different from other stone slabs on the surface of the platform. Seeing a little abnormality, even if ordinary people see it, they will ignore it involuntarily. However, Leo, who is not a wizard of the tower, but a person who knows the tower very well, has a very deep impression on this emblem.

This emblem is the exclusive mark of a high tower wizard, this high tower wizard is named Calexius Brick, he is not that kind of powerful high tower wizard, but he is the most famous one among the high tower wizards , for the Tower is named after him, and he was the standard-setter of all wizard towers built by the Wizard of the Tower, and the builder of the first Tower.

Later, in order to commemorate this sage, the tower wizards would use various special methods to imprint their emblems on the towers in the towers they built, which also made the towers last for a period of time. A game called looking for emblems became popular, and some good people even wrote a booklet with special instructions for this game, and it was from this booklet that Leo got the information about Calesius Blake. and its emblem.

This lighthouse should obviously be the wizard tower built by the tower wizard, but this wizard tower is completely different from the wizard towers Leo has seen before, and there is no mysterious thing related to the wizard tower.

For this reason, Leo went back outside the lighthouse, inspected it carefully, and then entered the lighthouse, checking one by one from the bottom, but he still did not find any clues related to more mysterious powers. In the end, Leo could only hope to solve the doubts. Place it on the top light.

Leo came to the top of the lighthouse. He was not in a hurry to search for clues, but walked to the outer viewing corridor and looked towards the sea in front of him.

Although the sea in the distance is shrouded in gray fog, people can still feel its magnificence, and with Leo's extraordinary perception, he can still vaguely feel that there is a giant moving slowly in the gray fog on the sea.

Leo didn't look at it for too long, so he withdrew his gaze and returned to the huge light on the top of the tower.

This lighting lamp is completely in the style of lighting lamps hundreds of years ago. There is a huge brazier in the middle, surrounded by three copper mirrors that can be rotated, and crystal glass polished in a special way.

When night comes, as long as you light a bonfire here, the light of the bonfire will fall on the surrounding copper mirror, and then refract from the copper mirror to the surrounding glass crystals, and the light will be projected through the glass crystals with the concentrating effect. This kind of light is so bright that even ships in the far sea can see it.

Although the type of lighting lamp is an ordinary lighthouse lighting lamp hundreds of years ago, the parts that assemble the lighting lamp are not ordinary at all. For example, the copper mirrors whose surfaces have been corroded by the sea breeze and are rusty are not ordinary copper mirrors. , but three wizard wonders, at least when they are well preserved, because Leo has discovered a very hidden and complicated Turing root on these three bronze mirrors.
