The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you need me to do something?" Mayor Josh asked after he figured out what Leo had come for.

"It's not necessary." Leo shook his head, but hesitated a little, and said, "No, there is one thing you can do, and that is to save the Bryn Valley on a road leading to the opposite side of the mountain range after hearing that the rescue will happen. The mountain crevices in the Miria area, and the news that there is a skeleton of a god at the bottom of the mountain crevices, should be sent in ordinary urgent documents."

"What? The remains of the gods?" Mayor Josh's face was full of shock, and he looked at Leo with suspicion.

Mayor Josh was born after the gods retired. During this period, miracles were scarce, religious power was weakened, and royal power was expanded. Coupled with the establishment and expansion of academies in various countries, most of the people born in his generation were just shallow believers. The trace is just some kind of unknown scientific phenomenon, and even after seeing extraordinary power, it is just thought that this is a kind of power that human beings are born with, but this power cannot be explained in a scientific way for the time being.

After discovering various relics of prehistoric civilization, this kind of anti-god and scientific thinking developed again as if it had obtained evidence, and some people also put forward the idea that the so-called gods are actually survivors of prehistoric civilization. The various churches have responded extremely harshly to this statement, denouncing it as blasphemy.

Although the saying that the gods are survivors of prehistoric civilization has not been circulated among the public, it has always existed in the academies of various countries, and Mayor Josh is also a supporter of this rumor.

Now Leo suddenly told him that in the area under his jurisdiction, there was a remains of a god, which made him not know how to react for a while, and he was more suspicious than shocked by Leo's words.

"Aren't you joking?" After he calmed down a little, he looked at Leo's very serious expression and asked in confirmation.

"No." Leo nodded, and then said, "You don't have to think too much about it, just follow my instructions."

Mayor Josh couldn't help but wondered, "How can you not think too much about it? It's the remains of the gods. If it is obtained by the church, what kind of impact will it have on the kingdom..."

Leo interrupted the other party, and said in relief: "You don't have to worry, what you worry about will not happen, the remains of the god can't be taken away, otherwise, how could the Church of the Lord of the Sky let it go?" Was it left there for thousands of years?" He paused, and added: "And this matter is not necessarily a good thing for the church, especially the Church of the Lord of the Sky. Think about it, other churches If it is known that there is a god’s remains in the mountain stream, and it is related to the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the Church of the Lord of the Sky is going to take it out now, what do you think other churches on the continent of Velen will think and what will they do?”

Hearing Leo's words, Mayor Josh quickly calmed down. Although he is not a particularly smart person and has never participated in any power games, he can still judge that once the Lord of the Sky may have a god If news of the remains spread, how would other churches on the Velen Continent react?

Think about it, when the gods that all churches believe in cannot retreat, all churches are in the same state, and they don't have any views on other churches.

But when a church suddenly jumps out, expressing that it has mastered the remains of a god, and breaks away from the group and takes a big step forward, then other churches will definitely not be willing to lag behind. At that time, there are only three ways to deal with it, one One is to find the remains of a god, the other is to directly believe in the gods to increase the frequency of miracles, and the last one is to prevent the other party from obtaining the remains of the gods, and even make a request to share the remains together.

The first way to deal with it is naturally impossible. You must know that the remains of the gods are rarer than miracles. At least before this, no church has claimed to have found the remains of the gods.

The second method is even more impossible, not to mention whether the gods will respond to the rude demands of believers, even if they respond, it may not be possible to increase the frequency of miracles, because if the church gods can really If you can easily increase the frequency of miracles, you will not retreat.

So in the end, those churches would only choose the third simplest, most direct, and most appropriate method to prevent the Church of the Lord of the Sky from obtaining the remains of the gods, and all the churches would share the remains together.

In this way, the Church of the Lord of the Sky and its allies will inevitably have the most direct and intense conflicts with other churches on the Velen continent. This is definitely a good thing for the secular regimes such as the kingdoms.

Whether it is acting as a bystander, watching the various churches fighting and weakening their strength, or intervening in the fighting when necessary, using this as an excuse to deprive the church of certain privileges is of great benefit to the consolidation of the secular regime.

"I know how to do it. It's not enough to just expedite the documents, but also need to add a special inspection number." Mayor Josh, who understood Leo's meaning, nodded and added: "Although the Church of the Lord of the Sky is in the mountain The main religious forces, but other churches also have offices here, with many eyes and ears, and an urgent document marked with a special inspection should attract their attention."

Seeing that Mayor Josh had already understood what he meant, Leo stopped staying any longer, got up and left, and flew out of the window directly, taking advantage of the night to fly out of this mountain town, identified the direction, and headed towards He flew in the direction of Bollinger Valley.

As Leo mastered the basic skills of psionic energy, the flying speed of his psionic wings also increased correspondingly. In the past, he just borrowed psionic wings to vibrate the air and create air currents to glide in the air, but now he is like It is equipped with a real aircraft, which can fly freely in the air like a bird, and the flying speed is getting faster and faster, until now it has almost reached the point of breaking through the speed of sound.

However, even so, Leo seldom uses this kind of psionic ability, because the psionic ability of Psychic Wing consumes too much energy, even a sixth-level psychic like him can only advance at full speed The Psionic Wings fly for about an hour.

This is mainly because the alien psykers who invented the psionic ability of the psionic wing did not create it for flying in the inner space. The psionic wing is more suitable for flying in space, because while flying, it It can absorb various energies in the universe on a large scale, supplement spiritual energy consumption, and even convert these energies into energy jets, drive the jets with extremely weak spiritual energy, and promote flight speed.

According to the psychic inheritance knowledge that Leo obtained, a 6th-level psychic can cast the psychic wing in the universe, which can not only make the flight speed reach the speed of the galaxy warship, but also not consume psychic energy. It can even supplement the user's spiritual energy through the energy conversion of the spiritual energy wing.

Therefore, the most useful knowledge of psychic inheritance acquired by Leo is the basic knowledge. As for those advanced psychic skills that are powerful enough to fight against warships, they are either unique psychic powers belonging to alien races, or they need to be acquired in space. use.

In order to avoid any accidents due to the large consumption of psychic energy, Leo flew through the psychic wings for about half an hour, then stopped, landed on the ground, and drove on with his legs. The food in the physical space is digested and digested through the chaotic stomach, and then the energy converted from the food is transformed by the power of nightmares to supplement the consumption of spiritual energy.

During this period of time, Leo also improved the various strengths of his body, so that these strengths are not used alone, but several kinds of strengths are used together to form some very practical compound skills, such as the current Transformation skills used.

"Huh?" When Leo was rushing through the mountains, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the small valley not far to the right. In his spiritual vision, soft rays of light were coming from It radiates out continuously, and he is very familiar with the energy fluctuation contained in the light, which is the energy fluctuation of the lady in the lake.

Leo stopped for a while, thought for a while, then moved towards the valley over there, and at the same time unfolded the mental net to scan the situation over there.

There is a lake in the valley over there, and the light is emitted from the lake. Judging from the situation of the light, the lady in the lake should be in the lake.

However, the lady in the lake appeared this time not because of Leo, but because of another person. I saw a heavily armed team resting next to the lake. Judging from their clothes and weapons, they should be from the United Kingdom. A certain bounty mercenary squad.

Although in the Dibia Mountains, the main force to intercept the out-of-control mutants is the soldiers of the United Kingdom, but even the soldiers cannot do everything, and there will always be fish that slip through the net. At this time, the bounty attracted by the high bounty Mercenaries can just make up for this part of the gap.

Judging from the state of the resting bounty mercenaries by the lake, they should have experienced a tough battle not long ago. Everyone was not only exhausted, but even a few showed signs of serious injuries, so that They couldn't even keep people on vigil, so they could only arrange a large number of warning traps around the camp, and also arranged a few hunting dogs for warning.

The out-of-control mutant who caused trouble to these people has now been beheaded by them, and that head has been placed in a box in the camp.

After learning about the situation, Leo didn't go forward immediately, but stopped after reaching the lake for a certain distance, as a bystander, watching what was happening in front of him.

At this time, the light emitted by the lake no longer needs to use spiritual vision, and can be seen with the naked eye.

In the camp, the hounds used for vigilance wanted to bark after seeing the abnormal situation, but they were unable to bark due to some kind of force. One of the old dogs did not know that it was taking the initiative. It was still guided by some force. All in all, it was the only one among these hounds that could move. It jumped to the side of a sleeping young soldier in the camp, and opened its mouth and dragged the soldier's trouser legs vigorously.

Although the young soldier was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, his basic warrior instincts still persisted. He woke up the moment his trouser legs were bitten, stood up from the ground in an instant, and pulled out the common and mechanical hand crossbows hanging from his waist , looking around vigilantly.

However, he soon discovered that there were no enemies around. Instead, he seemed to be illuminated by the kingdom's latest military spotlight. The entire camp was illuminated by a strong light in the direction of the lake.

Although the young man felt extremely curious, he still remembered some precautions mentioned by his captain, such as not to be too curious, not to act alone when encountering strange things, and so on.

So instead of going to the lake to check the situation, he ran to his sleeping companion to wake him up.

But what made him feel bad was that no matter how much he pushed and pushed those sleeping companions, there was no sign of waking up. He even touched the wound on one of the wounded on purpose, hoping to wake up the wounded by the pain, but But still didn't get the desired feedback.

At this time, he immediately realized that the strong light coming from the direction of the lake was probably aimed at him.

After hesitating for a moment, he got up and walked to a box next to him. After opening it, he took out some special weapons used to deal with mutants, hung them on the weapon hanger on his body, and then took out two more from the box. He hesitated a little while opening the bottle of potion, opened it, and drank it all.

Just after he finished drinking the potion, the blood vessels on his face swelled outward, his eyeballs also turned white, and his whole face became extremely hideous.

Seeing the effect of the young man drinking the potion, Leo was also a little curious, because he could feel that there was not too much energy in the two bottles of potion, but when the two bottles of potion were mixed and drank together, they could Change the physique of ordinary people to a certain extent, so that ordinary people have enough strength to fight against full body mutants.

After feeling the rising power in himself, the young man seemed to have gained self-confidence. He picked up his weapon and walked out of the temporary tent, passed through a small piece of woods that blocked his view, and came to the edge of the lake.

However, when he saw the rays of light gushing out from the lake, he was stunned, and the aggressive fighting spirit dissipated quickly, and shock and reverence appeared on his hideous face.

In Velen Continent, under the influence of the French Empire founded by knights, almost everyone has heard all kinds of legends about the lady of the lake when they were young, and they have seen a lot of stage plays when they grow up. The lady's church has never actively preached to the people. The vast majority of the people are pan-believers of the lady in the lake, and many of them are believers of other churches and even clergy.

The young man obviously grew up listening to the stories of the lady in the lake, so when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately connected with a certain legend of the lady in the lake. For this reason, he even imitated the story According to the method mentioned in the book, kneel on the ground with one knee, stick the long sword in front of your face, rest your forehead on the top of the hilt, and silently recite the name of the lady of the lake.
