, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The Mysterious World under Steampunk!
For ordinary people, it is a very lucky thing to become the chief of a tribe, but for Sylvia, this inexplicable chief status will only make her suspicious, thinking that there may be some conspiracy in it , so these two days she has been collecting all kinds of information calmly, and by the way, she also learned about the situation here in the cracked plain.
Sylvia passed the collected information to Leo every day, which also made Leo already have a good understanding of the situation inside the cracked plain before he came to the cracked plain. It can even be said that the biased rice Midor may not be as good as him in this regard.
Although Mimidor despises these tribes in the Fragmented Plains very much, and believes that the civilization of these tribes has degraded to the point where they are not worthy of being descendants of the Midgards, but in fact, according to the various information provided by Sylvia, Leo discovered that the tribal civilizations in the Crack Plain were not all extremely primitive and backward civilizations.
In fact, only a few tribes located on the outskirts of the cracked plain are the most primitive and savage tribes. These tribes can no longer remember the knowledge left by their ancestors in the past, and the weapons they use are cold weapons, even some People still use stone weapons, and all the tribesmen live in caves and wear clothes made of animal skins and rough linen. All in all, the level of civilization of these people is similar to that of the primitive civilization of the old earth era.
However, if you advance towards the center of the cracked plain, the civilization of the tribe will increase step by step. For example, you will start to know how to build armor, how to domesticate wild animals, how to build houses, etc. In terms of civilization, it has begun to move towards the old earth. The era of the Middle Ages began to improve.
And continue to advance towards the center, the level of civilization will increase again, some mechanical tools and thermal weapons will start to appear, and in the center of the cracked plain, the civilization of that tribe should be almost the same as that of Sky City, using various energy weapons And high-tech equipment should have inherited the complete legacy of the Midgards.
However, no matter how the level of civilization improves, the social structure of these tribes has always maintained a relatively primitive state. For example, chiefs and priests are the highest authority of the tribe, priests have mastered knowledge, chiefs have mastered force, nobles have domesticated slaves, and The frequent human sacrifice ceremonies and primitive nature worship beliefs gave the civilization of these tribes a sense of tearing, as if civilizations of different periods were forcibly kneaded together.
The tribe where Sylvia was the chief was between the most primitive tribes and the medieval tribes in terms of civilization. From time to time, the tribe will form a caravan to go to the underground city built by some other Midgard survivors or the Muniyom people for commercial trade, and the products they produce are some gemstones produced underground in the Crack Plain.
The reason why the tribal civilization in the Crack Plain is so weird, according to Sylvia’s investigation and analysis, she thinks it should be deliberately created by the controllers of each tribe, because the knowledge of the chiefs and priests of each tribe is not too different. She doesn’t know why they did this for the time being, but she feels that a foreign stranger like herself will be inexplicably promoted to the position of chief, which may be related to the controller group formed by these chiefs and priests, so she is now moving towards investigate in this direction.
Just because of the language barrier, the people in the tribe couldn’t understand any of her orders at all, and her status as the chief couldn’t bring her any substantial power, so she could only investigate by herself, so after learning that Leo Not far from the Crack Plain, she urged Leo to join her as soon as possible.
Now Leo has come to the edge of the Crack Plain, but he didn’t plan to go to the camp of Sylvia’s tribe immediately, because Mimidor, after briefly introducing the situation here to Leo, said that he had the right to Where they stayed, they led Leo to a tribe on the edge of the plain.
Although this tribe is located on the edge of the plain, their clothing temperament is not the most primitive tribe, and they built houses and walls with wood, and the clothes they wore were finished clothes. Although the weapons were still mainly cold weapons, among them Some people held very fine mechanical crossbows in their hands, and several people wore thermal weapons similar to muskets on their waists.
When Mimidor appeared outside the tribe’s city walls, it immediately caused a commotion, but the people in the tribe didn’t panic because of Mimidor’s inhuman appearance, on the contrary, they seemed to have encountered something good. There were bursts of cheers full of joy, and then a person dressed as a priest in the tribe came out, stood in front of Mimidor and saluted him very respectfully, and then talked with Mimidor in the language of the Mynyyom stand up.
After talking for a few words, the tribal priest found that the reason for Mimidor’s arrival was completely different from what he wanted to see, and he also showed obvious disappointment on his face, but this did not change his opinion of Mimidor. Attitude, after talking a few more words, after knowing the purpose of Mimidor’s visit, he gave a few instructions to the people around him, and asked some people to follow Mimidor’s side, which seemed to be for Mimidor. Arrange for bodyguards and guides.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
After that, the tribal priest seemed to be asking Mimidor what else he needed. After Mimidor shook his head to indicate that he didn’t need it, he bowed and retreated. The tribal priest didn’t look at it from the beginning to the end. Leo glanced, let alone talked to Leo, and it seemed that he had mistook Leo for Mimidor’s entourage from the very beginning.
However, Leo was not idle. When the priest of the tribe was talking with Mimidor, he also scanned and checked the situation of the tribe, especially the physical condition of the humans in this tribe. Soon he found that the humans of this tribe It’s not just human beings, they have an extra organ than humans, this organ is located next to the heart, about the size of a fist, it feels like a second heart.
Obviously, the ancestors of this tribe of humans should have undergone some modifications. These modifications are at the genetic level. The modified humans have some extra organs, and these organs can help them adapt to the environment like Vanaheim. It increases the strength of these humans in a disguised form. For example, the muscle fibers of these humans are several times stronger than ordinary humans. This is still normal. Leo feels that the extra organ in these humans should be able to stimulate these humans to be stronger. The role of strong force, not just an extra life support organ.
Led by the people arranged by the priests of the tribe, Mimidor and Leo came to the side of a mechanical elevator built next to the crack in the earth inside the tribe, followed the lift they boarded together, and the lift slowly fell to the crack in the shaking At the bottom, the accompanying person also took out something similar to a lighting stick, shook it to make it glow and illuminate the surrounding environment, and then pinned it in a special slot on the iron helmet, forming a Poor lighting.
The lighting effect of a lighting stick is very general, but when multiple lighting sticks work at the same time, they can affect the surrounding natural forces, making these natural forces wrap around the lighting stick, increasing its brightness several times, completely Dispelled the darkness at the bottom of the crack in the earth.
Although the lighting problem was solved, the humans who served as Mimidor’s bodyguards and guides did not relax because of this. They took out their weapons one by one, and then carefully led Mimidor and Leo towards the deeper cracks. go.
While walking, Mimidor took the initiative to introduce the situation to Leo without waiting for Leo to ask.
It turned out that the tribe on the ground did not belong to the tribes of the Crack Plain. They were some survivors of the Midgards who were in danger and were rescued by the Miaonyyom Land City.
Most of the homes of these Midgard survivors were destroyed due to various disasters, and they were in a state of homelessness, so the Miao Niyom people in Dixing City arranged these people in some places similar to cracked plains. Around the large-scale Midgard remnant tribes of the same kind, the Miaonyyom people who are responsible for the underground city communicate with the Midgard remnants of those tribes and participate in some business transactions, and because of this, these Midgard people The survivors respect the Miaonyyom people very much. Around the Crack Plain, there are several tribes of the Midgard survivors who serve as a transit point like this.
It was supposed to be the chief who came to greet Mimidor just now, but the chief of this tribe died in an accident not long ago, and the new chief has not been selected yet, so the priests can only do it for him.
The priest thought that Mimidor was the pioneer sent by the Dixing City caravan, so they were so happy. After all, they can earn a lot of money from every transaction between Dixing City and the Crack Plain Tribe. Interest, but unfortunately things backfired.
What’s interesting is that Mimidor mentioned a phenomenon. When the Midgard survivors here first settled down, they still lived according to their past customs, but it didn’t take long for these survivor tribes to seem to be inspired by something. Similarly, they changed their living habits and began to imitate the life of those tribes at the bottom of the cracked plain. The social structure was also assimilated, with positions such as chiefs and priests.
Although Mimidor just mentioned something casually and had no other meaning, Leo could feel that what Mimidor said casually might be true. It was not obvious on the ground, but after going underground, Lei O Ou can clearly feel some changes in the surrounding natural forces. This change is like a drop of ink dripping in a glass of clear water. Although it is still water, both its shape and texture are similar to water. There is a huge difference, and more importantly, the drop of ink also produced a whisper that is difficult for normal people to hear, but it really exists.
This kind of whispering is not powerful, but it exists all the time. Although ordinary people can’t hear it, the whispering still has an effect, and the most obvious effect should be brainwashing. Changes in behavior and customs should be the effect of this whisper.
On the way, Leo asked Mimidor with some doubts: “I remember that in the cruise fortress of the holy city, the one-eyed man named Wuni mentioned that the Midgard survivors in Vanaheim were not There are many, but now there are so many Midgard remnants living in this cracked plain, this…”
Mimidor explained, and said: “They are not the survivors of the Midgards, at least in the eyes of the creator of the holy city, they are not.”
Although it was only a short answer, Leo already understood that the Midgard survivors mentioned by Mimidor may be the kind of pure human beings, rather than having undergone some kind of genetic modification like the people he saw now. remodel.
However, this made Leo feel a little confused, because the creators of this world are obviously transformed humans, and from the perspective of shape and organs, the transformations accepted by the creators should far exceed those of Midgard. However, they have a contemptuous attitude towards these Midgard survivors and deny their identities. Don’t they understand that their actions are also denying their identities?
Moreover, when cruising the fortress, after the one-eyed man Wu Ni saw Leo and found that Leo’s body did not have any obvious signs of transformation, his attitude towards Leo was much more enthusiastic, and in this enthusiasm, he could feel Seeing a hint of covetousness, but when Leo showed amazing strength in the fortress and beat up the heroic warriors there one by one, the attitude of the one-eyed Wu Ni changed obviously. It is absolutely impossible for a normal, unreformed Midgard to have such a powerful strength, so the enthusiasm at the beginning also subsided, and the sliver of coveting thoughts disappeared along with the enthusiasm, and the only thing left was Lei The respect that Ou received after showing his strength.
Thinking about it now, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Maybe the pure Midgards have extraordinary meaning and function to the creators of this world, otherwise, it is impossible for the one-eyed Wuni to appear in contrast in a short period of time Such a big attitude change.
A group of people walked in the dark crack for a while, and after passing a narrow gap that only one person could pass through, they came to the bottom of an open crack.
This is the bottom of a big crack, the narrowest part is about one kilometer wide, and the length is more than ten kilometers, and the ground seems to have been repaired, it is very flat, and a large amount of covering soil brought from the ground is spread out evenly At the bottom, some half-person-high large mushrooms grow densely on it, covering most of the land, and in this mushroom field, there are more than a dozen high platforms like watchtowers standing among them, and the high platforms are full of people. The torches illuminated the surroundings, and some figures crouched under the high platform, who seemed to be the tribal guards of this isolated field of mushrooms.
At the same time Leo came out from the gap, the guards of Mogutian’s tribe had already gathered. At first they all looked very nervous, holding the crude stone spears tightly in their hands, but when they saw who was coming After that, he relaxed and greeted the assigned guide very enthusiastically. It seemed that they were acquaintances and had a good relationship.
