The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Before coming to this world, Leo already knew from the lady of the lake in the world of Velen that there is also an incarnation of the lady of the lake in this world, but judging from what the lady of the lake wants him to do, it is clear that the situation of the lady of the lake in this world is not good. great.

Although this matter is not particularly important in Leo's mind, Leo still keeps it in his heart, and he is going to look for this world after he has a deeper understanding of the world and has a certain influence. lady of the lake.

However, what he never expected was that he found the clue of the Lady of the Lake under such circumstances, and what made him even more incredible was that the statue of the Lady of the Lake appeared outside a gold selling nest in Beruk City. On the wall, and the expression, behavior and clothes of the statue are so obscene, completely contrary to all their past knowledge of the lady in the lake.

Whether it is in Velen or in other worlds, although some teachings and rituals of the Lady of the Lake may violate ethics and morality, such as the Spring Festival of the Lady of the Lake, a large number of unmarried men and women will be gathered together and let them Choose your spouse at the reception, and don't mind if they do something out of the ordinary at the spring festival reception.

But no matter how the church teachings and church rituals violate the moral standards of the world, the lady in the lake is still regarded as the guardian of the family, a chaste and moral lady, etc. At least no one dares to place the statue of the lady in the lake next to the brothel class, that's blatant blasphemy.

However, the statue of the lady in the lake that Leo and Sylvia saw was not only placed outside a big brothel, but also portrayed as a slut, which made Leo and Sylvia People who are very familiar with the lady in the lake are all shocked.

Especially Sylvia, although she is not considered a follower of the Lady of the Lake, but because she passed the Lady of the Lake's virtue test in Toussaint and obtained the Lady of the Lake's god-given weapon, she is also considered a believer to a certain extent. The chosen one of the lady of the lake, seeing this behavior of blaspheming the lady of the lake, she was also extremely angry after being shocked, and there was an urge in her heart to destroy this gold selling nest immediately.

"Let's go and have a look." Sylvia suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Leo.

Leo looked at the selling gold nest in front of him, then at Sylvia, frowned, and said, "Is it suitable?"

Sylvia gave Leo a white look, and said, "There's nothing inappropriate. I've been to this kind of place more often than you in Velen."

Seeing Sylvia's insistence, Leo didn't say anything more, so he asked Sylvia to hold his arm and walked towards the gold selling den across the road.

This golden nest is called Fire Nest, which is the name of an insect nest in the New World. This kind of insect can be made into an excellent aphrodisiac through a special method, so the name Fire Nest also has a special meaning in the New World. .

To be able to open such a large selling gold nest in the center of the city, and in such a bustling road, obviously the identity of the owner of this selling gold nest is not simple.

Although it was daytime, the gold sales nest was not closed, but continued to operate, but the main business project has been replaced, and it has been replaced by a casino as the main one, and other supplementary ones.

Casinos in the Outer Federation are expressly prohibited, but this gold den is able to evade the law, and opened the casino in the urban area, only one block away from the city police station, which is enough to prove once again that the other side has quite a lot of power .

The arrival of Leo and Sylvia didn't arouse the security guard's special attention. Their eyes only stayed on Sylvia for a while, and then quickly shifted to other places.

Being able to be a security guard in such a place may not require too much strength, but you definitely need to have eyesight, to be able to tell who among the guests is easy to provoke and who is not. It is obvious that Leo and Sylvia belong to that kind of Someone they can't afford to mess with.

Leo and Sylvia didn't care about the change in the attitude of the security guards here. Their attention was all on the interior decoration of the fire nest.

If it is said that the statue of the Lady of the Lake outside the Fire Nest is somewhat restrained in some aspects, then all the statues of the Lady of the Lake inside can be called unsightly, even the well-informed Sylvia I also feel that these statues are too much to be placed on the lady in the lake, even if they are placed on ordinary people, so the expression on the face has become extremely gloomy.

However, Leo, who was being held by his arm, didn't care about these unsightly statues. Instead, he paid more attention to the positions of the statues and the pattern symbols connecting them, and before Sylvia spoke, he whispered: " The statues, patterns, and symbols on the walls, stone pillars, and zenith here form a Divine Grammar Array, a very perfect Divine Grammar Array, but it is a little strange that this Divine Grammar Array cannot be activated, otherwise, we will now I can feel the energy fluctuations generated by the operation of this divine script circle."

"Shenwen magic circle?" Sylvia couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Do you know which kind of divine language magic circle it belongs to?"

"What else can there be? It's the most common magic circle in the Church of the True God in Velen." Leo quickly built a holographic image in his brain, and removed the useless decorative parts of the image, leaving the The core divine text magic circle, and found the corresponding divine text magic circle, said: "It is the harvest sacrifice divine script."

Sylvia was stunned for a while when she heard the words, and soon recalled the information on the sacred text of the Harvest Sacrifice. As Leo said, the sacred text of the Harvest Sacrifice is used by almost all churches, whether it is the Church of the True God or the underground church. They are the most basic ritual scriptures.

Every year during the harvest season, various churches hold various sacrificial ceremonies related to the harvest, even gods such as plague and disease are no exception.

Although there are obvious differences between the sacred scriptures of the Harvest Sacrifice of the Church of the True God and the divine scriptures of the Harvest Sacrifice of the Church of the Evil Gods, the divine texts composed of these scriptures are all of the same system. This system is already perfect. Any church There is no way to change it, all you need to do is apply the scriptures of the Lord God of your own church in different ways.

"Is it the harvest sacrificial scriptures of the lady in the lake?" Although Sylvia knew about the harvest sacrifice scriptures, she didn't study the core parts of these sacrifice scriptures in depth, so she couldn't see the fire nest. The origin of this harvest sacrificial oracle inside.

"It should be, but..." Leo nodded, hesitated a little, and said: "However, the composition of this divine script circle is a bit weird, and it is completely different from the one in the world of Velen, only the core part of the divine script and symbols It retains the characteristics of the lady in the lake, and all other parts are contrary to the common sense of the magic circle in the world of Velen, but have some characteristics of the sacrificial ceremony in this world."

"Could it be that the lady in the lake became alienated after she came to this world?" Sylvia immediately made a bold but possibly factual guess.

If it was before, Sylvia probably wouldn't be able to make such a guess, but ever since she met the Lady of the Lake in that world in Toussaint, she realized that even if the same god enters different worlds, it will be because of The world environment has changed to varying degrees.

This also made her think of the unsightly statues of the lady in the lake that she saw now. The lady in the lake in the world of Velen is the guardian of chastity. That is because the world of Velen is such an environment. And the environment of this world may have distorted the priesthood of the lady of the lake, turning her into a god of pleasure, a guardian of a brothel, or something like that.

Leo had memorized the mutated magic circle, and asked Sylvia, "What should I do now? Go find the owner here?"

"No! We asked the master here to come to us." Sylvia shook her head, then pulled Leo to an open-limit gambling table and sat down, took out her cashier's check and signed a The amount was converted into chips, half of which was given to Leo, and the bet started like this.

Seeing this situation, Leo seemed to understand Sylvia's intentions, and also participated in the bet.

Although Leo didn't know how to play the gambling games in this world, he learned quickly. After losing nearly half of the chips, he gradually began to win back the chips he lost before.

Compared to Leo, Sylvia has already learned these gambling games in various clubs in Beiruk City, and has also found some loopholes in them. When she was sitting at the gaming table just now, He has already used these loopholes to quickly accumulate the chips in front of him. In less than half an hour, the neatly stacked chips are no different from a hill.

At this moment, all the gamblers playing in the fire nest also gathered here, all of them showed excited expressions on their faces. Although they were not the ones who won the money, they saw that someone could win the casino, and they also I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

Even the gamblers are attracted here, and the person in charge of Fire Nest will naturally not ignore this abnormal situation, and the reason why he is silent now is because he is still investigating the identities of Leo and Silvia, It's just that I sent my men to investigate for a long time, but I haven't found a result yet.

Just when the director of Huochao was a little anxious and wanted to send someone to remind him, the subordinate he sent before had already hurried in, and he immediately asked impatiently: "Did you find out?"

"Found it!" The subordinate didn't talk nonsense, and directly reported the results of the investigation to his superior.

"The two from Belmont Manor?" The person in charge of Fire Nest was a little surprised, and at the same time, the gloomy look on his face was gradually replaced by worry and suspicion, because at such a time period, it was closely related to the change of military equipment by the federal government. People appeared in the fire nest, which made him suspicious. After all, he knew very well the attitude of the people above him towards the federal government, and those who helped the federal government were naturally not their favorite people.

Just when the person in charge of Huo Nest didn't know how to deal with this matter, the supervisor in charge of casino management hurried in and said, "The chips have accumulated to 500 million, and there are still many people around who are betting." , if it continues, it will only take three more rounds at most, and the Fire Nest will lose all, boss, why are you not in a hurry at all?"

The person in charge of Fire Nest glared at his subordinates angrily, then made a decisive decision, and ordered: "You go down immediately to see Leo Dodd and Sylvia Belmont and bring them here."

"What if they don't come?" the supervisor asked.

The person in charge of Huo Nest looked at his subordinate expressionlessly, and the subordinate couldn't help but lower his head, and without waiting for a response, he turned around and hurried out of the room.

To the surprise of the person in charge of Fire Nest, the matter of bringing Leo and Sylvia to his office went very smoothly. When he was still considering whether to use other relationships, the director of the casino had already brought them to his office. In the office, there was no obstacle in the whole process. After hearing what the supervisor said, Leo and Sylvia stopped the game and followed the supervisor to the office of the person in charge of the Fire Nest at the top.

"Your Excellency Leo, Ms. Sylvia, I am from the Fire Nest..." Seeing that the two were so easy to talk to, the person in charge of the Fire Nest relaxed a lot from the tension. After signaling his subordinates to leave, he greeted the two of them. Routine self-introduction.

However, Sylvia interrupted his introduction, and then said very directly: "I don't want to know who you are, I just want to know one thing, who designed the statues inside and outside the fire nest, and why Design? Why should it be placed like this?"

The person in charge of Fire Nest was stunned when he heard Sylvia's question. He never expected the other party to make such a big move. He just wanted to meet him and ask him something about the Fire Nest statue.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Those statues were designed by the designer according to our requirements when the Fire Nest was built. Is there anything wrong with these statues?"

Sylvia said in a cold tone: "That is to say, the shape and shape of these statues were all designed by you?"

The person in charge of the Fire Nest quickly shook his head and said, "No, of course not! We just put forward the design requirements, and the final shape of the statue and the layout of other decorations in the Fire Nest were designed by the designer himself."

"Who is the designer?" Sylvia asked.

"Cassie Tully." The person in charge of Fire Nest answered hastily.

Sylvia frowned and said, "Cassie Tally, this name sounds familiar."

"The second designer of our manor." Leo seemed to think of something to remind him at this moment.

"Yes! It's him." Sylvia recalled immediately, with a look of surprise on her face, and Leo's expression was similar. They obviously didn't expect that the lady in the lake would have anything to do with the manor. If there is a relationship, it is more likely to have some relationship with the Hans family.

"Where is Cassie Tully now?" Leo asked a crucial question.

The person in charge of Fire Nest replied: "In the prison, in the third prison of Beiruk City."
