The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Lady in the lake?" Leo frowned, thinking for a while.

For a long time in the past, Leo has always regarded the lady of the lake as an ordinary god, and also felt that the power of the lady of the lake cannot be compared with the mountain king, the sky lord and other gods, but now he doesn't think so, On the contrary, he thinks that the lady in the lake might be an existence comparable to the golden giant deer, the lord of the Black Forest. The reason is very simple, that is, the lady in the lake can incarnate into tens of millions and establish her church in countless worlds.

Based on Leo's current understanding of the gods, the gods such as the Lord of the Sky and the King of the Hill are gods attached to the world of Velen, and their power is too deeply connected with the power of the world of Velen. These gods will either go to perish together with the world, or they will leave the world, and after they leave the world, they will definitely fall to the altar, and may even become inferior to ordinary people.

However, the lady in the lake is different. As long as she still has an incarnation, she is almost indestructible. She is still the god of knights, even if the power controlled by this god is not the most powerful.

Or maybe it's because the lady in the lake has countless incarnations, so Leo can't see through the real intention of the lady in the lake to contact him, even from various past situations, except for the lady in the lake town who has a little Apart from being malicious, the other ladies of the lake seem to be kind to themselves.

But in Leo's view, this kind of kindness that appears for no reason is the most worthy of vigilance, so before he finds out the true intentions of the lady in the lake, he will keep his attitude at a respectful distance from the lady in the lake.

After pondering for a moment, Leo jumped from the top of the quarry and landed at the bottom of the deep pit. Then he put the person in his hand next to the entrance of the laboratory, and then turned around and walked to the pool not far away. beside.

The moment Leo came to the pool, the lake, which was originally as calm as a mirror, began to splash, and then he saw the big fish composed of a lot of bugs floating on the surface and swimming to the distance of Lei Ou. It stopped not far away, followed by the back of the big fish and began to move upwards. The witchcraft bugs were entangled together, and finally formed a faceless female form.

"Greetings, ma'am." Leo felt the pure spirit of the other party, he took a step back naturally, bowed his head, and saluted the other party.

"Greetings, the last tower wizard." The lady in the lake nodded to Leo and responded.

Leo didn't explain that he was not a real tower wizard, but went straight to the point: "Madam, is there anything for me to do when you appear in front of me?"

Leo's direct question stunned the lady in the lake for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect Leo to be so direct, but soon he returned to normal, and said frankly: "I hope you can give it to me when you find this thing in the future. I."

As she spoke, the lady in the lake drove the insects under her feet to quickly combine into an object, which was displayed in front of Leo.

After Leo saw this object, a little surprise flashed across his face quickly, and he asked calmly as usual: "What is this thing? What is it useful for you?"

"It's very useful to me." The lady in the lake smiled, but didn't answer directly.

Leo continued, "Where is this thing now?"

"I don't know." The lady in the lake replied again.

Leo was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "You don't even know where this thing is? How can you be sure that I can get it?"

The lady in the lake smiled confidently, and said: "Because I think you can get it, and I am sure that if this thing is in this world, then the only person who can get it is you." Before Leo said What, he added: "Don't worry, this task is not for you to complete now, this character is for life, when it is completed, and when it is given to me, it doesn't matter which world I am. As a reward , my church will be a loyal ally of you and your family, and you can use all church power without harming my church."

Leo hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, because the promise made by the lady in the lake is not insignificant. If it is true, at least the Dodd Group will encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Although it is not the strongest Church of God, she is the most influential Church of God. With its support, as long as Leo, Sylvia, Tolan or Dodd Group do not do something that both people and gods are angry with, Then they won't need to worry too much about plots and blows from the Orthodox Church and its affiliated forces, at least what happened to the Dodd Group in Audorin may not happen.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo did not respond positively to Ms. Lake's proposal, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question to Ms. Lake: "I have a question to ask Ms. What is this world like?"

The lady in the lake didn't expect that Leo would suddenly ask such a question, she couldn't help being stunned, then smiled and said: "I can't tell you, because the world I see is different from the world you see , Only when you find out by yourself can you know what this world is like." He paused for a while and said: "The disaster that is happening in the world of Velen will not last for too long. After the return of the gods, The world will stabilize. However, the disappearance of the disaster does not mean that the world will return to the past. The world of Velen has deviated too far. One thing you must remember is that this world is the world of gods after all, and no external force can become the core of the world, and will eventually be abandoned by the world."

After saying something similar to a prophecy, the lady in the lake dispersed her body in front of Leo, and all the insects writhed violently and dived into the depths of the sump, then lost their bodies, and got into the bottom and the underground river In the connected channel, it gradually disappears.

Leo stood beside the pool in silence for a long time, and the pensive look on his face became more and more intense. The lady in the lake revealed too much information just now, and these information are not the kind of vague divine revelation. A piece of information was expressed very clearly, and Leo could figure out what the words were talking about almost without any analysis.

For example, the end of the disaster in Velen World is after the return of the gods. At that time, the unknown power that causes various mutations should be restricted by the gods, and it will not be able to cause biological mutations as easily as it is now. Although the world will still be a world where monsters run rampant, at least it will not be like now where nearly 90% of the land is completely occupied by monsters. Every daily trip away from the town is a life-and-death adventure.

In addition, he also mentioned that the reason why the world is like this should be related to the deviation of the world of Velen. As for what the deviation is, it is unknown, but it is certain that this incident is related to the disappearance of the gods from the world of Velen. It seems that some powerful gods in the world of Velen have carried out In order to stabilize the world, those gods based in the world of Velen had to choose to return.

However, the piece of information that caught Leo's attention the most was that at the end Ms. Huzhong mentioned that this world will eventually be the world of the gods, and all external forces cannot become the mainstream of the world, and as the gods regain control of the world, these external forces will inevitably be abandoned by the world .

This is the most ambiguous of the information disclosed by Ms. Huzhong, because there is no clear direction for what this external force represents. Is it the germination of technology that appeared with the departure of the gods, or the industrial machinery that is now booming in the world of Vinylon, or The unknown external forces that invaded the world together with the gray mist and caused the creatures to mutate seem to be external forces. If all these external forces are erased, there is no doubt that the overall civilization level of the Velen world will instantly return to that church. Lord, the old world that the gods overlook.

If the lady in the lake refers to this, then this is definitely not good news for Leo and Sylvia, whether it is the industrial machinery technology of the Dodd Group itself, or Leo and Sylvia's status as a wizard and witch , in that old world, they were all people who would be beaten to extremes and hunted down by the church. If this is the case, the conditions offered by the Lady in the Lake are extremely precious. At least with the support of the Lady in the Lake Church, plus The relationship between Black Forest, whether he and Sylvia, or the Dodd Group should not be targeted by the church.

However, it is somewhat contradictory that the lady in the lake also emphasized that the change of the world is already a fait accompli, even if the gods return, it is impossible to completely bring the world back to the past, and the gods’ remedy for the world may be a more intense and powerful way. method, the world's environment may even be worse than it is now, so it is mentioned that those who cannot adapt will eventually be eliminated.

"It seems that I can't do it if I don't pay attention." After thinking for a while, Leo suddenly said to himself.

Although Ms. Huzhong said that the matter entrusted to him is not an urgent matter, you can take it slowly and there is no time limit, but now I have obtained so much key and important information from Ms. The German Group and Tolan made an extremely important promise in the future, and he should not be indifferent to that entrusted matter.

However, the lady in the lake is only one of the reasons why he cares about this matter, and he himself really wants to find the item that the lady in the lake also attaches great importance to, because that item is not an ordinary item, it is a A steerable orb used by psykers.

For ordinary people, the controllable orbiter used by psykers is useless, just like a piece of scrap metal, but for psykers, the controllable orbiter is more useful, for example, you can use the controllable star The supermagnetic amplification device in the orbiter guides the meteorites in outer space to carry out a range of meteorite fall attacks. For example, the small transition device in the controllable orbiter can also be used to perform short-distance interstellar transitions.

The controllable orbiter is a product of advanced civilizations in the universe, and it is also a standard device for those advanced civilizations to equip their own civilization's advanced psykers. The Earth Federation government has obtained two devices for research through various methods. This matter It caused a great sensation at the time, and all kinds of information related to the controllable orbiter filled the Internet. It was difficult for Leo to know.

The controllable orbiter displayed by Ms. Huzhong is not an ordinary controllable orbiter, but a controllable orbiter made by the Blue Flash civilization.

The Blue Flash civilization is also called the recorder civilization. This civilization is very old. It is said to be one of the first few advanced civilizations in the universe. They never interfere with the changes of the universe and the rise and fall of civilization. They are only interested in two things. , One is to record all kinds of things happening in the universe, explore the star fields of the universe and the subspace world that is larger than the universe.

The psykers of the Blue Flash civilization are not warlike psykers. Even if they encounter an attack, most of them will choose to avoid, use their own abilities or devices such as controllable orbiters to jump to places far away from the war, or is in the subspace.

Therefore, the controllable orbiter of the Blue Flash civilization is far worse than the controllable orbiter of other advanced civilizations in terms of aggressiveness, but in terms of functions such as hyperspace transition and subspace movement, the Blue Flash civilization It is not too much to say that they are the strongest in the universe.

And the more important point is that the controllable orbiter of the Blue Flash civilization must have included the most complete star map and the most perfect subspace exploration map in the universe. The value of these maps in some people's minds should far exceed Controllable orbiter itself.

Leo didn't know what the purpose of the lady in the lake was to obtain the controllable orbiter, but according to the fact that the lady in the lake had made incarnations in countless worlds and built churches, the universe star map and subspace exploration map should be her. The goal.

However, what made Leo even more puzzled was why the lady in the lake entrusted him with this matter. It was just a casual game of the game, to try his luck, and even if he failed, there would be no loss. It was because he knew that Leo might You will encounter a controllable orbiter, so book in advance.

However, no matter what the situation is, Leo can't figure it out now. He, a high-level psyker, can only passively bear such matters involving gods.

At this time, the person who was placed at the entrance of the laboratory by Leo suddenly groaned in pain. It seemed that the mutation process in his body made him feel intense pain, and his expression was even distorted by the pain, but no matter how painful it was, Strong, he still hasn't woken up from the coma.

Leo found through the mental network scan that the blood mutation in the human body seems to have entered some changes, and it seems to be developing in an unstable direction. If left alone, the benign mutation in the human body may become malignant. .

In order not to lose this precious object of observation, Leo immediately drew his attention away from the matter of the lady in the lake, returned to the entrance of the laboratory, opened the restriction, and entered the laboratory with the object of observation moaning in pain.
