The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the face of menacing nobles from various countries, the reaction of the Church of True God was very strange. Not only those churches in the Church of True God who had a normal or bad relationship with the Church of Chasing Light did not send any people to support the Church of Chasing Light, even those with the Church of Chasing Light The Churches of True God that have a good relationship with the church did not send anyone to West Green Emerald Castle, and even these Churches of True God did not express any views on this matter or make any gestures of solidarity, as if they did not know about it. Or they just don't remember that there is Chasing Light Church in the Church of True God.

However, on the surface, the Churches of True God did not openly send personnel, but they still gave some support to the Chasing Light Church secretly. Someone once discovered that clergymen and church knights wearing the robes of the Justice Church secretly entered the Chasing Light Church in the middle of the night. In the camp of the Mid-Green Emerald Forest.

This is only discovered by people, and there may be more others that have not been discovered, because the Church of Chasing Light has sealed off all its camps in the Mid-Green Emerald Forest, and outsiders cannot enter it to spy on the truth.

The other protagonist of this incident, the little lord of the Mid-Green Emerald Forest who provided the camp for the Chasing Light Church, was also confused by the actions of the West Green Emerald Countess, and he did not recover for a long time. When he wanted to do something, he had already been squeezed out by the noble circle, and with the obstruction of the Countess of West Green Emerald, he had no way to explain to other dignitaries, and even at this moment he had been assigned to the He is now among the nobles of the church, so in the end he can only stand completely by the side of the Chasing Church, hoping that the Chasing Church can protect him from wind and rain.

Facing the menacing Countess of West Green Emerald and dignitaries from all over the world, Chasing Light Church was also caught off guard.

In fact, when tempting the adult males in those three towns to serve them, the high-level executives of the Chasing Light Church had already considered the reactions of the Earl of West Green Emerald and his wife. They thought that even if the nobles in the West Green Emerald area found out what they were doing , and will negotiate with them first, and only find other solutions when the result is unsatisfactory, so they have enough time to deal with this matter.

It's just that what they didn't expect at all was that when the Earl of West Green Jade was captured by Hongtu City, the Countess of West Green Jade didn't deal with the matter of her husband's redemption after being captured. Instead, after knowing what they had done, she didn't Any negotiations with them would spread the matter with great fanfare, alarming the elite circles of the entire continent, thus making the direction of the matter completely out of their control.

When they reacted and sent people to West Green Emerald Castle to negotiate, the direction of this matter was no longer within their control, and it was not even within the control of the other party, the Countess of West Green Emerald. The opposing sides have become a huge organization of the rich and powerful of the continent and the Church of the True God, and the center of the confrontation is not the West Green Emerald Castle, but another location in the Middle Kingdom.

While everyone's eyes were on the West Green Emerald Castle, the representatives of the Church of the True God and the top dignitaries from various countries had secretly arrived at the negotiation place they had set. After two days and two nights of negotiations, a result was finally reached. As a result, no one knew the specific content except the parties involved in the negotiations and the high-level forces behind them.

It was only the second day after the results came out here, the Countess of West Green Emerald also had a secret negotiation with the archbishop of the Chasing Light Church, and the results were soon reached, and this result was known to no one other than the two parties involved. However, judging from the expressions on their faces when the two left the negotiating room, they seemed to be very satisfied with the result of this negotiation.

While everyone was guessing the outcome of this negotiation, the Countess of West Green Emerald signed a series of cooperation agreements on the mining of Lake Narnia and its surrounding minerals on behalf of the Earl of West Green Emerald and the Chasing Light Church. At the same time, The local lord of the Mid-Green Emerald Forest who had previously cooperated with the Chasing Light Church announced that it would belong to the Earl of West Green Emerald, expanding the territory of the Earl of West Green Emerald to the central Green Emerald area.

Although the area of ​​the Middle Green Emerald Forest is several times that of the West Green Emerald Earl, it is not like the West Green Emerald Earl, where there is only one lord and only one regime. This can be called the Small Middle Kingdom area, large and small More than a dozen lords each occupy a territory.

These lords usually attack each other, many of them are feuds, but once they encounter foreign enemies, they quickly form an alliance and form a coalition army to prevent any outsiders from invading the area.

The Green Emerald Earls from the east and the west have tried to invade this area, but without exception, they all ended in failure. Now, a lord of the Mid-Green Emerald Forest area has voluntarily joined the West Green Emerald Earl, and this lord controls The territory of the West Green Emerald Earl is also very large, almost half the size of the West Green Emerald Earl. This not only greatly increases the strength of the West Green Emerald Earl, but also allows the power of the West Green Emerald Earl to extend to the central region without hindrance. area.

Because it happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, no one thought that the northern forest lord, who can be said to be a deadly enemy with the Earl of West Green Emerald, would take the initiative to seek refuge in the Earl of West Green Emerald. Smart people soon thought of it The Church of Chasing Light must be involved in this matter, but there is nothing to do if they know about it. After all, neither the Church of Chasing Light nor the lord of the northern forest admits it, and there is no way for others to say anything.

When the lords of the Green Emerald Forest area in the central area convened to discuss countermeasures, the annexation of that territory by the Earl of West Green Emerald was also initially completed. The army of the Emerald County is stationed here, and they are obviously guarding against attacks from other lords in the middle.

In the not-so-big land of the Green Emerald Forest, the short period of ten days was full of turbulent winds and clouds, allowing all interested people who paid attention to the situation here to watch a big drama, no matter what the final direction of the big drama is, but now this The big drama has come to an end for the time being, and how to develop it in the future is just a territorial dispute in the region, and it is not worthy of excessive attention from the dignitaries and church forces in other countries.

Because the matter has come to an end, the Countess's attention has fallen on her daughter again, and when she returned to the villa, she immediately knew that Leo was going to take her daughter to another world to solve her problems. .

Perhaps it was because Leo had informed him of similar ideas in advance, so the countess was not too surprised, but what surprised Leo was that the countess agreed to Leo's proposal just after thinking about it. And expressed the hope that Leo would leave with Devina as soon as possible.

"Mother, why do you want me to leave so eagerly?" Not only Leo felt the abnormality of the countess, but even Devina could clearly sense the abnormality, and asked.

Faced with Devina's inquiry, the countess hesitated for a moment, but explained the situation. It turned out that the annexation of a territory in the central Green Emerald Forest area was completely beyond her expectations. She originally offered such a condition in the negotiation She wanted to embarrass the Chasing Light Church first, so that she could gain some advantage when discussing the formal conditions later, but what she never expected was that after she made this condition, the Chasing Light Church actually agreed, and later accepted it. The territory was also extremely smooth, and she easily controlled the huge territory that was half the area of ​​the West Green Emerald region.

However, because everything was too hasty, she annexed such a large territory in a short period of time. Even with the cooperation of the other party, the Earl of West Green Emerald still needs to send a large number of manpower and troops to the annexed territory to take over the government affairs there. And the army, which also makes the interior of the West Green Emerald area empty.

The lords in the Central Green Emerald region would definitely not want to see such a large piece of land being annexed by the West Green Emerald region. Although the incident happened so suddenly, these lords did not have time to react and stop it, but it is conceivable that the When they come to their senses, they will definitely use various methods to take back this piece of land, so in the next few months or even a year or two, there will be frequent wars here, and the dignitaries and generals in the territory will definitely become opponents. The main target of the assassination, Devina must also be on the assassination list.

"Do you want me to leave here and take refuge elsewhere?" Devina immediately understood the countess' thoughts after hearing the countess' narration.

"You are my only weakness. If you are here, I will be distracted." The Countess stroked Devina's hair softly.

Devina didn't seem to like being touched by the countess's hair very much, she frowned, but she didn't get rid of the countess's hand, but asked in a low voice: "Are you not sure how to deal with the attack in the central green emerald area? "

The countess smiled and said: "It is true that there is no absolute certainty that we can win, but as long as there is a chance of more than 50% in this matter, it is worth fighting for." Then, she said to Leo: "Mr. Leo, Please take care of my daughter during this time, if you have anything else to prepare, I can prepare it for you right away."

"No, you can leave at any time." Leo shook his head, and then said to Devina, "What about you? Are you ready?"

Devina looked at her mother and nodded too.

Seeing that Devina was ready, Leo took her hand directly, and brought her into the gap between reality and shadow in front of the countess.

The moment Devena entered the gap between reality and shadow, a powerful pulling force suddenly came out from the shadow world and landed on Devina, trying to pull Devina into the shadow realm In the middle, the shadow heart in Devina's body also seemed to have received some enlightenment, and began to move violently, emitting a special power belonging to the shadow world, which spread to all parts of Devina's body, killing her All the breath of the real world on his body was covered up.

Although the pulling force appeared inexplicably and abruptly, Leo had expected it a long time ago, so as soon as the abnormal situation appeared, he had already pulled Devina, and used his spiritual energy to wrap around Devina's body. Form a layer of spiritual energy shield to protect it, and at the same time try to capture the sudden pulling force to see if it can form a power imprint in the body, and then analyze it into one of the stone pillars in the square.

It's a pity that the pulling force was very vigilant. When it realized that it could not pull Devina over, it withdrew the force without giving Leo any chance to catch it.

"What's the matter with that force?" The dryad Lutaxi also felt the process of the pulling force appearing and disappearing for the first time, and said with a very surprised face.

"That power should be the mysterious existence that installed a shadow heart on Devena." Leo explained: "The appearance of Devina should have triggered some of his sensing methods, making him think that he can harvest the shadow heart buried in the past." It's the result, but he didn't expect that there is me beside Devina."

"What should we do now?" The dryad Lutaxi asked anxiously, "Do you still want to enter the Shadow Realm?"

Although the power appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly, almost completing the whole process within a few seconds, the tree demon Lutaxi could still feel the power of that power. Even if the source of power is not as good as the White Deer, it is definitely not too bad. Being targeted by such a powerful existence, Devina's situation is undoubtedly dangerous, which makes her feel that taking Devena into the shadows The world is a dangerous thing.

"I want to go. Some things can't be solved by escaping, such as my body and that extra heart." Devina suddenly opened her mouth to express her attitude, but at this time her eyes looked at the tree demon Ruta Xi, and there was a look in her eyes that didn't exist in the real world, "Xiao Shu, so you look so beautiful."

"Ah?" The dryad Lutaxi was stunned, looked at Devina, and happened to meet Devina's eyes, she suddenly seemed to realize something, and said pleasantly: "You, you can see me now ?”

"Yes, I can see you now." Devina walked to the tree demon Lutaxi as she spoke, stretched out her hand to caress the deer's body, and at the same time looked at her friend's beautiful appearance and magical antlers, There was also an inexplicable smile on his face.

I don't know whether Devina's gaze was too direct, or her touching the deer's body touched the sensitive nerves of the tree demon Lutaxi. Leaving it aside, and the deer hooves kept pacing in place, as if they wanted to move away from Devina's side, but they had some concerns.

Seeing that the dryad Lutaxi was so embarrassed, Devina couldn't help smiling, then she took the initiative to take two steps back, removed her hand from the deer, and then made a very ladylike courtesy to the dryad Rutaxi, Said: "Hi, my friend, this is my first meeting, I'm Devina!"

Dryad Rutaxi also replied: "Hi, my friend, I'm glad you can see me, I'm Dryad Rutaxi!"
