Chapter 1581: active crater

"Wizard?" After hearing Leo's self-introduction, everyone showed a little doubt on their faces, because they didn't know what a wizard was, and could only find a similar thing from their daily cognition, such as a witch doctor to come with In comparison, it turned out that Leo didn't look like a witch doctor in any way.
However, the Earl of Belmont is different from the others around him. He really knows what the French word for wizard represents, and his face is more surprised than doubt, which also shows that his father, the Duke, does not He didn't tell him everything about Leo.
Before meeting Leo and Sylvia, he paid more attention to Sylvia, whose pure blood has far surpassed any other clan, as for just treating him as Sylvia's husband, even if the other party It has the reputation of being the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge.
However, it was only now that Leo's self-introduction made him realize that he looked down on Leo, because in the records left by the ancestors of the family he saw, the wizard was an existence comparable to the gods, even if he was not at all. Can't see any signs that can be compared to the gods from Leo.
Just when Count Belmont was looking at Leo again, the clansmen responsible for installing the teleportation device came up and reported that the device had been installed and needed to be turned on by Count Belmont.
Earl Belmont didn't waste time either. After all, it's not very comfortable to be on the top of Moore's Peak, where the air is thin and the wind is piercing. I saw him walk to one of the master control devices, and then raised his hand and pressed it on the identification panel above the device. , said an opening command in the awkward-sounding Earth Federation language.
This order is just a series of numbers, and even ordinary people in the Earth Federation will not hear any useful information, but Leo can analyze the fleet number represented by this series of numbers from the structure of this series of numbers, and After comparing the data in his memory bank, he found that the fleet represented by the opening order number was not recorded. Judging from the number characteristics alone, it should be a complete main battle fleet.
Just as Leo was quickly extracting all kinds of information in his mind, all the installed transmission devices were activated, and the energy fields were connected to each other, traveling a silver-blue semicircular energy shield.
"Wait a while, no matter what happens, don't resist. The process may be a little uncomfortable, but it will be over soon." After introducing the situation to Sylvia and Leo, Count Belmont took the initiative to walk in. in the energy shield.
The other Belmont family members also walked into the energy hood one after another, and Leo and Sylvia didn't say anything and followed.
After everyone entered the energy hood, Count Belmont uttered another activation command, and then he saw all the energy collapse into the center, turning into a singularity and disappearing, and in the process of collapsing inside the energy field Everything, from people to devices, disappeared together.
After the Leo device in the transmission energy field was activated, it felt a strong pulling force, which was very different from the pulling force of the space rift.
The pulling force in the space fissure comes from all directions, and those who are in it will have the illusion of being torn to pieces in the next moment, but the pulling force in the energy field of the space transmission device comes from the same direction, as if there is a An invisible rope pulled him to move quickly in one direction.
This strong pulling force came and went quickly, but it disappeared in an instant. Sylvia and Leo were very easy to adapt to this pulling force, and they only felt a little dizzy and then returned to normal. On the contrary, it is not the first time that the Belmont family members and others have used this kind of device, but it seems a little difficult to adapt, and their faces are ugly. Down.
While the Belmont family gradually recovered from the discomfort, Leo and Sylvia, who had returned to normal first, observed the surrounding situation.
The place they are now is in the depths of a valley. The valley is surrounded by towering peaks. The entire mountain is covered with white snow. It is not until the foot of the peaks on the inner side of the valley that it begins to decrease, and finally melts into streams and converges into small rivers. Flowing through the valley, through the mountain stream formed by the fissures of the mountain, and disappeared into the ground.
Although judging from the trees and vegetation in the valley, it seems that the location of this valley is still in the northern mountain range of Teresa Kingdom, because most of the plants here are unique to Teresa Kingdom, but Leo is still from the surrounding areas. The rare plants growing on the snow-capped mountains determine that this valley should be in the northern snow plains of the source continent. For example, on the cliffs of the snow-capped mountains, a kind of edelweiss, which can only grow in the snowy plains, grows.
In addition, the direction of the teleportation pulling force he felt before, and the time of teleportation were enough for Leo to calculate where he was at the moment, which should be in the depths of the snow field about 7,000 kilometers north of Teresa Kingdom. And the valley where they are located should be the crater of a dormant volcano, because he can feel the lava energy below, that is, this lava energy makes the valley feel like spring all year round.
"What a great place!" At this moment, Sylvia took a deep breath. She could smell the faint smell of sulfur in the air, and she could also feel the energy radiation of the surrounding volcanic lava, with a satisfied expression on her face. look.
There is no doubt that for the abyss dragons, the volcanic crater is definitely the most suitable living environment for them. The Belmont family obviously had similar considerations when they chose to build a family-line castle here. Living in such an environment for a long time, they The blood on the body is easier to stimulate, and their strength can be increased faster.
However, doing so has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the blood vessels can be quickly stimulated and improved. The disadvantage is that this method of stimulating the blood vessels by means of external force will greatly consume the potential of the blood vessels to improve. Because of this , so that even though the blood of the patriarchs of the Belmont family has been highly developed and activated over the years, the purity of the blood is still far from the blood of the real abyss dragon.
But even so, it must be said that the ancestors of the Belmont family chose this place as the family residence, which is indeed a very wise move.
Not to mention the additive effect of the environment here on the family bloodline, so that all members of the direct family can stimulate the bloodline, so that the family bloodline will not decline like the Belmont family in the Velen world, so that the family bloodline can continue to grow.
The security of the location of Belmont Castle alone has many advantages. Even Leo would never have imagined that the Belmont family castle was not located in the Kingdom of Teresa, but in the depths of the snow field thousands of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Teresa. , No wonder the church has been looking for the location of Belmont Castle in Teresa Kingdom for so many years and found nothing. They obviously found the wrong place from the beginning.
It is precisely because the Church of the True God could not find the Belmont family castle, and could not completely wipe out the Belmont family, a heretical group standing on the bright side, through a siege, so the Church of the True God allowed the Teresa Kingdom such a special kingdom. Continued existence, will make various compromises with the Belmont family in coexistence, otherwise, with the domineering behavior of the Church of the True God in the source continent, the Belmont family may have already been killed by them, even to the point of ashes.
At this time, Earl Belmont and others had returned to normal. He immediately ordered his men to pack up the teleportation device, and then he took Leo and Sylvia along a stone road not far away toward the depths of the valley.
After passing through a forest, the scene in front of you turned into a very common village farmland, and other members of the Belmont family could gradually be seen on the road. If some people have obvious abnormal characteristics, they don't look much different from ordinary farmers. After these people saw the Earl of Belmont, they all saluted the Earl and others very respectfully, obviously their identity here. The status is far more strict than the outside world.
Perhaps it was Count Belmont's signal, or perhaps it was his own idea, that Miranda went to Leo and Sylvia to introduce the situation of these clansmen in Belmont Castle.
Different from the way of dividing the direct line and collateral line of other families, the direct line and collateral line of the Belmont family are not divided according to the identity of the father, but according to the purity of the blood.
Just like the grandfather of the current Duke of Belmont, who was only a side branch at first, but later because his blood inspired more than the family owner, he was elected as the patriarch by the family, and his descendants became the family direct line. .
Earl Belmont can become an earl, not only because he has a duke father, but also because his bloodline development is second only to the duke among the family members. If there is no accident, he will be the next patriarch and duke. things are up.
As for his son, it was precisely because of his blood that he could not continue to stay in the valley, so he was sent out to become the city lord of Moore City, and the identity of the city lord of Moore City could only be used for one term. After he died, the city lord would no longer be able to It was his son who inherited it.
Most of the family members living in the Castle Valley now have bloodlines that have been stimulated to a certain extent, and become direct lineages from side branches, and in order to further develop their bloodlines, they choose to settle in the valley from outside.
Some of them have further developed their bloodline and gained more powerful and controllable power, such as Miranda, but more of them have been further improved by the stimulation of the surrounding environment. At the same time, they also lost They gained complete control over their power, resulting in very obvious and uncontrolled mutations in them, just like the Belmont family members with obvious mutant organs that Leo and the others encountered on the road.
The Belmont family has never discriminated against these members with obvious mutations, and even highly respects these people, because it means that their blood has been pure to a certain extent, and only in this way can atavism occur, so the Belmont family will The marriage partners are carefully selected for these family members, so that the pure blood of these people can be passed on.
However, these family members are very aware of how much discrimination they will encounter if they leave the valley to live in the outside world, so most of them will choose to live in the valley, and even if they go out, they will wear special armor made by the family for them, etc. Equipment to cover up the mutant parts of the body.
As for the outside branch of the Belmont family, if there is also obvious mutation due to blood, they can also apply to the family to live in the valley.
Although Leo didn't know whether the people who designated these family laws for the Belmont family had thought about the current situation, it has to be said that these practices are the main reason for the Belmont family to gain a foothold and grow in places like the Origin Continent. .
According to Miranda, there are seven or eight villages and towns in the entire valley that are specially used to house family members like the one they are seeing at the moment, and there are at least eight or nine hundred people living in each village and town, and each has The power generated by the blood of the demon dragon on the obviously mutated family members is comparable to that of a third-level or even a fourth-level psionicist. The Church of the True God placed outside can be said to be comparable to the Paladins.
If you don’t count the power at the top, or the gods who are the backers, only in terms of the number of Paladin-level powerhouses, I am afraid that only by gathering all the Paladins of the True God Church in the Old World together can they surpass Belmont in the valley in number. The number of family members, you must know that even in the Church of Justice, which has the largest number of Paladins, there are only about a hundred Paladins who have been publicly blessed by the True God. The high-ranking clergy, the power of those people can't be compared with the power of the dragon blood in the body of these Belmont family members. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Right now, the only flaw of the Belmont family is the lack of high-level power. Even the Duke of Belmont, who has a very high degree of bloodline development, still has a certain gap between his bloodline power and that of a demigod, and most of the popes in the Church of the True God are able to do so. Through certain consciousness, they can obtain the divine power blessing of their belief in gods, and obtain the power of demigods.
Once the power has entered the realm of the gods, even if it is only a demigod with a little afterglow of the gods, the numerical advantage will be gone.
Just like now, even if Sylvia does not use the innate suppression on the bloodline, simply using the power of her demigod bloodline is enough to raze the entire Belmont family castle and valley, and no amount of people can make up for the strength. on the gap.
Obviously, the patriarchs of the Belmont clan of all dynasties should also be aware of their own shortcomings in strength. They did not get carried away by the number of clan members, and rashly expanded without restraint. Instead, they chose to hide the location of the castle and not disclose the actual situation in the castle. A trace, honestly using the True God Church's ignorance of them, life is multiplying, at least until the emergence of high-end power, they will continue to do so.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help turning his head to look at Sylvia, and now he was somewhat aware of what the Belmont family might have in mind.
