The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Moore Peak is a mountain located on the north side of Moore City. This is the highest mountain in the surrounding area. The mountain is covered with snow all the year round, with no vegetation, only some gravel, and there is no smooth road to climb to the top. The steep road on the cliff may slide down the cliff next to it if you are not careful.

However, in such an environment, on the only road leading to Moore Peak, the Belmont family set up three very eye-catching checkpoints, which happened to be stuck in the narrowest part of the road, and those who wanted to go to the top of Moore Peak Unless a person climbs directly from the cliffs on both sides, otherwise, if he wants to reach the top of the mountain, he must pass through these checkpoints, and these checkpoints are stationed by ten heretic knights specially trained by the Belmont family all year round. Here, with the layout inside the checkpoint, almost any intruder can be blocked.

The reason for saying it is almost because these three checkpoints have been breached before, and not by many people, but by one person.

On the way, perhaps because it was too boring to concentrate on climbing the mountain, Miranda also casually told Leo and Silvia what happened here in the past as if telling a story.

For a long time, various forces such as the Church of the True God wanted to know the location of the mysterious Belmont Castle, and the eye-catching place of Moore Peak naturally did not escape their sight. They felt that there must be a road leading to Belmont Castle on the top of Moore Peak. secret.

However, even if they had some guesses in their hearts, they couldn't be sure whether the guesses were true or not, because they couldn't get up to Moore Peak at all. Based on the three checkpoints of Moore Peak and the defense forces inside, they would have to send at least a thousand people The army can only break through these checkpoints by attacking with human life.

Ke Moore Peak is located in the hinterland of the Belmont family's fiefdom. Not to mention the distant towns, the Moore City under the Moore Peak alone is inhabited by the offshoots of the Belmont Family and families with foreign surnames that have academic relations with the Belmont Family. The number of vassal families, so even though all parties have felt that there is a problem with Moore Peak for so many years, they have never been able to understand the situation.

Later, a paladin from the Church of Justice received divine grace three times, and his strength was close to that of a demigod. He felt that he was strong enough, so he ran to Moore Peak alone, and went directly to Moore Peak.

Although the heretic knights stationed at Moore Peak are very powerful and have a geographical advantage, they are naturally unable to resist such a powerful paladin. The three outposts were directly penetrated. Half of the thirty heretic knights died, and the other half were also disabled. up.

And just after the paladin climbed Moore Peak, the paladin died. No one knew the cause of death, not even the direct descendants of the Belmont family like Miranda. Only the successive Dukes of Belmont knew the cause. What killed the paladin who was almost a demigod, and the remains of the paladin of the Church of Justice are still in Moore Peak.

Sylvia asked curiously: "Why don't you move the remains of that paladin, it should be of great research value?"

"We also know this, but we can't do it, not only we can't do it, even the Pope of the Justice Church can't do it." Miranda shrugged and said: "I don't know the specific situation. You'll know when you get to the top of the mountain."

Although the steep and dangerous mountain climbing road is very difficult to walk, the worst in this group also has the strength of the paladins of the Church of True God. Walking such a mountain road will not feel difficult, and the speed of travel is also very fast.

Although Leo and Sylvia didn't understand why they didn't fly up directly on the Stormhawk, they didn't ask. They felt that there must be a reason why the Belmont family didn't do this. Perhaps there was some kind of power hidden here that would prevent the birds from approaching. class, so there's no need to ask these things about security no-nos.

After passing through the third outpost and walking down a very steep slope, the group arrived at the top of Moore Peak.

I saw that there were already more than a dozen people on the top of the mountain at this moment. Except for Earl Belmont and his entourage who were one step ahead, everyone else was installing some devices in various places on the top of the mountain in an orderly manner.

Ordinary people may only be able to tell that these are some metal boxes from the device casing, but Leo was able to recognize that these so-called metal boxes are actually a set of biological space transmission devices at the first sight.

In the Earth Federation, space teleportation devices have existed for a long time, and even before the Earth Federation has come into contact with alien civilizations, they already have space teleportation devices when exploring in the galaxy, but these space teleportation devices are used to Those who transmit inanimate materials, and those living bodies will definitely suffer fatal damage such as gene collapse after using the space transmission device.

In this situation, it was not until Leo's era that the Earth Federation obtained relevant technologies from alien civilizations with higher technological levels, and developed a space transmission device that could be used for biological transmission.

Although Leo has never used a biological space transmission device, he has used a material space transmission device more than once, so he is no stranger to this type of device, and more importantly, the simple version of the space that the Belmont family is installing On the transmission device, there is also the language of the Earth Federation engraved on it, not only the name of the device, but also the manufacturing location, factory and user information are printed on it, and what is interesting is that the user of this device seems to be Leo was still the marine company of the starship that the cyborg was in back then, but he didn't use this device in his memory. Obviously, this device was equipped after his death.

Seeing this space teleportation device, Leo also realized that his previous guess about the Belmont family castle might be wrong. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Belmont family used the teleportation device to go to Belmont castle, and this kind of The space teleportation device can only be used for teleportation in the positive universe, and cannot be used for teleportation between fragments of subspace planes. That is to say, Belmont Castle is probably hidden somewhere in this world, not in a certain place. In subspace plane fragments.

However, at this moment, for Leo, the most eye-catching thing on the top of the mountain is not the space teleportation device being installed, nor is it because of the speculation generated by this device, but a metallic color on the edge of the cliff. Humanoid statue.

This humanoid statue is almost twice as tall as a normal person. It looks like a little giant. The surface of the body is a layer of melted golden armor. Some parts are completely melted, and the inner body can be seen, while the inner body The body is also completely carbonized.

This humanoid statue raised his hands to cover his head. It looked like something was falling from the top of his head, and he was trying to block it with his hands, but the falling thing obviously had a super high temperature, and instantly The opponent's armor completely melted, burning the person inside the armor into coke.

If this humanoid statue was just a carbonized dead man, it would not be too eye-catching, and it would be easy to be transported away. It would not have stood here for so many years, and no one dared to approach it even today.

The real reason why it cannot be moved or approached is the divine power of justice contained in its body. Obviously, death did not take away the divine power of justice in the opponent's body. This can be seen from the corpses around the statue that were burnt by divine power until only the bones were left. Some of the corpses were still wearing the robes of the Archbishop of the Justice Church. Obviously, the Church of Justice has sent priests of the Archbishop level to come here more than once. The body was recovered.

Leo didn't care too much about the divine power of justice contained in this humanoid statue. He cared more about the cause of the statue's death, so when he analyzed the statue's death state as if it had been attacked by a destructive orbital laser cannon, he couldn't help but look up. Looking at the sky directly above, and using his spiritual vision ability, his almost astronomical telescope-like eyesight easily penetrated the thick clouds in the sky, and he saw the situation in outer space.

Soon he found what he wanted to find. A rail gun satellite was quietly suspended in the air. Judging from the damage marks on several muzzles on the rail gun, it was obvious that this rail gun satellite had been used several times. , now only two muzzles are intact, which means it can only be used twice.

Without much thought, Leo can be sure that the people who use the railgun are definitely the Belmont family, and the direct members of the Belmont family must also know the existence of the railgun, because just as Leo saw it from the half of the Church of Justice. The humanoid statue of the holy knight moved to the sky, and when he looked up, the heartbeats of the Earl of Belmont, Miranda and other members of the Belmont family all sped up slightly, and there was a little surprise on their faces, although the expressions of surprise were very fast. disappeared, but still did not escape Leo's perception.

Leo was not too surprised that the Belmont family had mastered an orbital gun satellite and was able to use it, because a complete set of space transmission devices came out, so it is obvious that the Belmont family should have obtained A batch of intact Earth Federation equipment and the manual devices for these devices, otherwise, they would not be able to know how to use these devices.

As for why the Belmont family was able to send satellites to outer space, the answer is right in front of us. With this set of space transmission devices, as long as there is no error in the coordinates, it is not difficult to send orbital gun satellites to outer space. People are also sent there, as to whether they can survive in a vacuum environment after being sent there is another question.

"What are you looking at? Is there something in the sky?" Sylvia shifted her gaze away from the humanoid statue made of the remains of the paladin, turned to look at Leo, and found that Leo was staring at the sky for a long time. Instead of looking at other eye-catching things on the top of the mountain, he also had doubts. While asking, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

After stopping Sylvia's question, Leo quickly replied, "I'm looking at a weapon, a weapon that killed this Justice Church paladin."

"Weapons?" Sylvia couldn't help but froze, and then searched the sky seriously.

Although Sylvia's eyesight can also see the scene of outer space, but in terms of accuracy, it is naturally not comparable to Leo's psionic skills, so she didn't see anything worth paying attention to after watching it for a long time, especially Forget about weapons.

On the contrary, after hearing Leo's answer, the direct members of the Belmont family on the side all showed obvious expressions of surprise on their faces. Obviously, Leo's answer with such certainty was completely beyond their expectations.

At this moment, Miranda couldn't help being puzzled and asked, "How do you know there are weapons in the sky?"

Leo withdrew his gaze from the sky, then turned his head to look at Miranda and other Belmont family descendants, and said: "If you Belmont family are willing to tell me how to obtain these devices, then I am willing to tell you too. How did you find the weapon above?"

Hearing Leo's words, the surrounding Belmont family members subconsciously felt that they seemed to have underestimated Leo.

Under the suppression of the power of the blood, all the Belmont families will subconsciously pay attention to Sylvia who brought them strong pressure, thus ignoring the seemingly ordinary Leo, knowing that now they are only faintly feeling Leo unusual.

However, something that shocked the Belmont family even more happened afterwards.

Leo seemed to know very well that the Duke of Belmont and the others couldn't give him any response, so he didn't wait where he was, and walked towards the remains of the paladins of the Church of Justice, before the people around him reacted and stepped forward to stop him , stepped into the justice divine power attack area designated as a restricted area by the Belmont family.

Everyone on the top of the mountain except Sylvia was stunned by Leo's behavior, which seemed to them to be almost suicidal. They didn't know how to react for a while, and they all froze on the spot.

But what happened next shocked them even more. They saw that the divine power of justice that had burned countless people who approached him in the past so many years did not attack Leo at all. Like a pond of vortex, it rushed towards Leo's forehead, gathered into a ray of light, and disappeared when it approached Leo's forehead.

Soon, even in the blink of an eye, it troubled the Belmont family for many years. At the same time, it also weakened and disappeared the divine power of justice that the Church of Justice had repeatedly deflated. The remains also quickly showed cracks, and the metal armor on the surface also lost its luster, corroded and rusted, and finally turned into a pile of dust under everyone's gaze.

Everyone on the top of the mountain stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at what was happening before them, with stunned expressions on their faces. It took a long time for Earl Belmont to recover from his shock. And looking at Leo, he asked, "Who are you?"

Leo felt the imprint of divine punishment in his body completely devouring the divine power of justice, turned his head, smiled at Earl Belmont, and said, "Leo Dodd, a wizard."
