The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just when the young man went down, a ray of light shot out from the lake. The long sword in the young man's hand was originally just an ordinary steel sword, but at this moment, a soft silver light shone out, and from the hilt The body of the sword began to change, and there were a lot of mysterious and mysterious patterns, and these patterns didn't just stay on the sword, but also along the young man's hand holding the sword and the side that was close to the hilt. Forehead, spread to his body.

I don't know if he felt the pain when he was young, or because of other reasons. In short, when the pattern spread to his body, he passed out and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Not long after the young man fell to the ground, those mysterious patterns also spread to his whole body, and then disappeared into his body, the light also weakened and disappeared, while the light on the lake remained unchanged.

At this time, Leo, who was hiding behind the woods, also came out and came to the lake.

At the moment Leo stood by the lake, the light gushing out from the lake began to converge, and finally gathered together, forming a blurred light man.

Although the appearance of the light man is a little blurry, and it looks as if it will disperse at any time, but Leo can still recognize the light man from the vague appearance as the lady of the lake.

"Hi, ma'am." Leo saluted the lady in the lake.

The lady in the lake also nodded to him, and then seemed to want to say something to Leo, but the words she said turned into bursts of piercing chirps, and these chirps were only aimed at Leo.

Although this burst of tweeting did not cause any harm to Leo, it made Leo feel a little uncomfortable, making him feel as if he had returned to the maintenance room of a certain war base.

The lady in the lake also realized her problem, stopped talking immediately, and then made some gestures towards Leo.

These gestures looked like waving his arms randomly, but Leo was able to judge from the position of certain movements and gestures that what the lady in the lake meant was that what she said could no longer be heard.

"You mean that all the languages ​​you speak now cannot be heard or understood, right?" Leo asked confirmingly.

Seeing that Leo understood what he meant, the lady in the lake nodded immediately.

At this time, Leo also thought of the taboo mentioned at the beginning of a religious classic he saw, God is unknowable, invisible, unhearable, and unspeakable.

The current lady in the lake is obviously very suitable for these four taboos. For example, her current appearance and figure have all turned into a blurred light man, and what she just said just now changes in Leo's ears. into loud noises etc.

"Is this happening because of changes in the world?" Leo confirmed again.

The lady in the lake nodded again.

Leo discovered through the current lady in the lake that the impact of the world mutation does not seem to be necessarily beneficial to the gods in the world of Velen.

It is true that with the mutation, the power of the gods of the Velen world began to gradually recover. At least from the lady of the lake in front of him, Leo could feel that her energy fluctuations were stronger than any lady of the lake he had met before. , but this lady in the lake is also subject to the most restrictions in the world.

Before, the lady in the lake that Leo met could show the form of a human woman in front of him. Although the form of this human woman may be just an illusion created by the lady in the lake with divine power, this illusion is not the same as the real form. There is no difference.

But now the lady in the lake is not only unable to form illusions, she can't even make people hear normal language. It can be seen that while the power of the gods is increasing, there is an additional layer of shackles on her body. good thing.

In the past, when the gods issued oracles to mortals, they always appeared in front of people and then informed the oracle, so it never happened that the gods misunderstood the oracle.

But now if the gods cannot appear in front of the believers in real body, or even give clear and simple oracles, then the connection between the believers of the church and the gods will no longer be as close as before, and the oracles of the gods will not even It may be misunderstood, and not everyone has the ability to distinguish the difference between others through energy fluctuations like Leo, most other people can only see the light and shadow on the surface, so it is easy to give some hidden evil gods Take advantage of this opportunity.

It can be seen from this that in the near future, whether it is the Velen continent or the other two continents, there may be many disputes due to religion and gods.

While Leo was thinking about the changes brought about by the changes in the world to the gods and the church, the lady in the lake was also observing Leo. She seemed to have found something in Leo, and then reached out to Leo.

However, when the lady in the lake was about to touch Leo, Leo suddenly became alert and took a step back, just avoiding the hand that the lady in the lake extended.

The lady in the lake was not annoyed, she made some gestures towards Leo again, but this time the meaning of the gestures was obviously more complicated, so that his gestures were extremely confusing, even Leo couldn't understand .

Seeing Leo's bewildered face, the lady in the lake thought for a while, and then saw several light clusters suddenly appearing beside him, one of which turned into the appearance of Leo, and the other clusters of light suddenly appeared beside him. The group turned into the appearance of a lady in the lake, followed several light groups to different places, and the light group representing Leo passed by one by one, as if meeting her.

Only one light group was far away from the other light groups and was covered by the mist deliberately created by the lady in the lake, while the light group representing Leo passed through the water mist and came to meet the light group.

At this time, the lady in the lake pointed to the light group covered by water mist and said a few words.

Although these few words still sounded like harsh noises to Leo's ears, Leo already understood what the lady in the lake meant.

Leo nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have seen another you in a world with demon hunters, sorceresses and all kinds of monsters. She is the representative of chivalry in that world."

Hearing Leo's words, although he couldn't see the expression on the lady in the lake's face, Leo could still feel that the lady in the lake seemed very happy, as if the news was extremely important to her.

Then I saw the light clusters created by the Lady in the Lake regroup and became two light clusters representing Leo and the Lady in the Lake, and then I saw the Lady in the Lake's light cluster touching Leo's light cluster , and then took a ray of light from Leo's light cluster.

Seeing this scene, Leo was a little surprised, and said: "You mean that the other you left something on me, is it for you?"

The lady in the lake nodded, and said nothing else, as if she was waiting for Leo to make a decision.

Leo thought for a moment, then reached out to the lady in the lake.

The lady in the lake also showed joy when she saw this, and then impatiently reached out and touched Leo's palm.

Leo only felt his palms cool for a while, and then he found that there was a weak and undetectable force in his body that appeared out of thin air, and then flowed out along his arms and palms.

After getting what she wanted, the lady in the lake needed to further analyze the details in order to obtain the secrets contained in it, so she didn't stay any longer, turned around, and prepared to return to the lake.

However, after moving for a certain distance, he stopped suddenly, moved back again, and then motioned to Leo not to move, then leaned over, kissed Leo's forehead lightly, and then went straight into the lake In the middle, it disappeared with the soaring light.

According to all legends, the person who is kissed by the lady of the lake will receive the blessing of the lady of the lake, but there is no unified answer for what the blessing of the lady of the lake is. Some blessings are power, such as the knight king of Faran , some blessings are brave power, such as those knights who have left a great reputation in history, and some people are lucky, such as mentioned in a certain folklore, who can survive ninety battles and still die. legendary soldier.

Leo didn't know what the blessing he got was, but he could be sure that power and bravery were absolutely unsuitable, because power was useless to him, it was impossible for the lady in the lake to know, and as for bravery, he didn't feel it at all in that kiss any powerful force.

As for luck, he is not very clear about it, and he never believes in luck in his heart. In his opinion, ability is everything, and luck is just because ability is strong enough.

After confirming that the lady in the lake had left, Leo did not plan to stay any longer, but before he left, he checked the identities of these bounty mercenaries, especially the young bounty mercenary who received the gift of the lady in the lake, According to the past experience, any mortal who is bestowed by the lady in the lake will eventually become a legend who disturbs the changes in the country, and this young man is probably no exception.

Leo wrote down his identity, and when he returned to Castle Black, he told Sylvia to ask Sylvia to send someone to make friends with this person, and to control this future figure in the United Kingdom.

Not long after leaving the lake, Leo, who was on the road again, happened to meet a herd of elk living in the Dibia Mountains.

The llama is a creature that looks very similar to a deer, but is actually two species because they have a completely different number of hoof petals.

Elk camels are not native to the Dibia Mountains. They come from the jungles of the Mozambique continent. These camels should have been captured from the wild in the past and transported to the Miria City Natural Park as ornamental animals.

However, with the destruction of Miria City, the natural park ceased to exist. All the animals that were kept in captivity and could not return to their natural state died, and those animals that returned to nature became wild animals. Looking for a suitable habitat for themselves and their own group, the current elk herd is obviously one of the animals that have found a suitable habitat.

Leo did not attack these camels, but controlled them through spiritual power, using them as a means of transportation, changing to a camel every time he passed a certain distance, without stopping all the way, before dawn, he was already When I came to the Brin Valley, I saw the small village in the valley where most of the buildings had been built.

Leo dispelled the spiritual energy controlling the camel herd, released the means of transportation, and then probed the small village in the valley ahead with the spiritual net.

Like what Leo felt in Hanlock City, many powerful interference devices were used in this small valley village. These interference devices created protective force fields one by one, preventing extraordinary forces from approaching or penetrating. The protection of the village is far beyond that of some of the highest group institutions in the United Kingdom.

However, just like dealing with the interference devices of those institutions, the spirit network skills with strong anti-interference ability quickly found the loopholes of these interference protection forces when they approached the small village of the valley, and penetrated through the loopholes to understand the inside. Condition.

As Leo knew, this is indeed the residence of the Society of Salvation, and the double badges of the Church of the Lord of the Sky and the Society of Salvation can be seen in the houses that have been built.

The members of these Salvation Society are all fanatics. Even if they are not praying, as long as they have nothing to do, they will take out a prayer book and find a prayer in it to read devoutly.

However, these people are not all the staff of the Salvation Society. According to their own conversations, Leo knew that not long ago, the Archbishop Majer, who controlled the Salvation Society, led a team of elite priests with extraordinary power into the mountain crevice. In the middle, and climbed down to the abyss of the mountain stream.

Originally, according to the plan of the Salvation Society, this group of people was just going to test the situation without any further plans, and would return before dark, but the final result was that none of the group of people appeared again, even in the direction of the mountain stream. He yelled, but there was no response.

The rest of the people also knew that something must have happened to that team, so they all proposed to organize another team and go deep into the mountain stream to see if they could find the first team that Naxi had disappeared.

But this proposal is not supported by everyone. Many of the people left behind think that they should not send people to recklessly investigate the situation in the mountain abyss. Send someone to assist in order to reduce the casualties of the Salvation Society.

You must know that these people at the bottom of Bryn Valley are all members of the Salvation Society in the church. Once there are more casualties, the Salvation Society may even be completely wiped out from the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

Because of some crazy behaviors of the Salvation Society and strict member review, the number of members of the Salvation Society has always been small. Most people in the church have more or less rejection of the Salvation Society, and the Salvation Society cannot absorb enough fresh blood. However, once members of the Salvation Society suffer casualties, it will be very difficult for the Salvation Society to make up for the gap.

And according to the rules of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, as long as the number of members of a faction within the church falls below a certain number, then this faction will be automatically cancelled, so now in the villages of Bollinger Valley, no rescue team is sent to save the voice of members bigger. .
