The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the world of Velen, there are countless stories about gods, and almost every church has a lot of stories about the gods of their churches, but most of the stories about gods in these churches are only known to members of this church, and people from other churches and Ordinary people are not very clear. Even those who know will confuse the gods in the story, not knowing which god did what, and which god has what great achievements.

However, among all the true gods recorded by the Orthodox church, there is only one god, not only recorded in the classics of other churches, but also widely circulated in various folk stories. It is definitely the most famous god in the world of Velen. This god It is Vivienne, Lady of the Lake.

This goddess is always related to warriors, warriors and heroes. For example, some warriors will be blessed by this goddess before going to the battlefield, and some heroes will be valued by this goddess when they are still unknown and given some magical powers. and weapons etc.

Just like other gods in the world of Velen, this goddess has now disappeared from the world of Velen. The last legend related to her is in the history of the restoration and rise of the Knight King of the Faran Empire. It is said that the founder of the Eastern Farland Empire once met the lady of the lake who lived in seclusion in the Black Forest, and received her heroic blessing.

Coincidentally, in the dream world, there are also a large number of legends about the Lady of the Lake. This goddess is also related to the strongest and bravest warriors, and there is also a Church of the Lady of the Lake here, and even a very Many believers.

In the archives of the Church of the Eye of Truth just now, there are also many contents that record the Lady of the Lake. Most of these contents are related to the warriors guarding the foggy area, because the Lady of the Lake Church is the only one that has established a warrior shelter in the guarding castle of the foggy area. of the church.

The reason why the Lady of the Lake Church can have this special treatment is because the Lady of the Lake will give blessings to all fighters, regardless of whether they are followers of their own church or not. These blessings can help soldiers reduce fatigue, increase strength and other effects.

The only flaw of this blessing is that after the battle, the warrior will be very lethargic, and usually sleep for a day or two before waking up. According to legend, the reason why they fell asleep after the battle was that the souls of these warriors were invited by the lady of the lake to the Hall of Heroes to participate in a feast specially held by the lady for the heroic warriors.

However, what emerged in Leo's mind after reading this information was not a blessing, but a riot rune in chaotic witchcraft. No matter how you look at it, it feels like a riot rune with weakened effects and greatly reduced side effects .

It's just that Leo never imagined that not long ago, he had doubts about the blessing of the lady in the lake, and when he turned his head, he met the legendary goddess face to face in his temporary residence.

"It's such an ancient etiquette. I haven't seen this kind of etiquette for a long time." After seeing Leo salute with an etiquette learned from the books of the Orthodox Church, the lady in the lake showed a slightly surprised expression, and then smiled. Said: "It's just that your etiquette is used in the wrong place. This is the etiquette used by the saints of the church to the main god of their belief. You are neither a saint, nor am I your main god."

Leo said casually: "Sorry, this is the first time I use this kind of etiquette, I don't understand these rules, I will pay attention to it next time."

"Haha! You are such an interesting fighter." The lady in the lake looked at Leo as if she was looking at a favorite plaything, and said, "I have seen many brave fighters, no matter what they want How to show my charm, my heart is always in awe, even fear, but I can't feel any emotion on you, since there is no awe, fear, love and joy, you are really special! Leo Dodd. "

The lady in the lake once again used the word special to describe Leo, which shows that she already has a very strong interest in Leo.

If the other warriors in the dream world knew that the lady in the lake had such a strong interest in him, they would be flattered and even ecstatic, but all Leo could think of was trouble.

Yes, this goddess, who was beautiful enough to fascinate any warrior, was a big problem in Leo's eyes.

After experiencing the initial shock, Leo, who calmed down, also compared the strength gap between himself and the legendary goddess under the analysis of the sub-brain system.

If the goddess in front of me is really the lady in the ancient god lake recorded by the Orthodox Church of the Velen World, Leo would not have any sense of resistance to her at all, because he is like an ant in front of Omega-level advanced creatures, even if he is now Already close to the fourth-level psyker, at best, he is just a slightly stronger and suspicious ant.

But now, although the lady in the lake still makes him feel extremely powerful, this kind of strength is not the kind of power that makes people despair, perhaps because the lady in the lake in front of him is just the divine power avatar of the real lady in the lake. Perhaps because of some other unknown reasons, all in all, according to the analysis of the sub-brain system, the lady in the lake in front of her is only as strong as an eighth-level psyker, which means she is similar to the real eye in the suburbs of Miria.

Although this kind of power still has no room for Leo to resist, after the sub-brain system analyzes all his methods, it gives an analysis result of a fight, and with this fight, he only needs to The sacrificial knife can be stabbed into the opponent's body smoothly, and the sacrifice can be launched. At that time, it will not be him fighting the goddess, but the outer god, the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, and the ancient god, the lady in the lake.

It was precisely because of the confidence in his heart that Leo did not show much awe to this legendary goddess, and his tone of voice was very casual, just like talking to an ordinary person, but he didn't know what was going on. It was because of his casual attitude that he attracted the attention of the lady in the lake even more.

Leo didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Ma'am, why would you use this method to approach a mortal like me?"

"You are a brave and mighty warrior, and I am the lady in the lake, isn't that enough?" The lady in the lake stepped up to Leo, looked down at Leo while talking, and said: " And you smell good, I like the smell."

And when Leo felt something was wrong, he immediately activated the mechanical will, and his whole spirit entered a state of absolute rationality. All desires in body and mind disappeared instantly, and all that remained was an abyss-like coldness.

"I hope ma'am, you don't do this kind of action again, because..." Leo turned his head, and looked at the eyes of the lady in the lake calmly. Looking at this beautiful goddess is no different from looking at a stone , said indifferently: "...I don't like it!"

The lady in the lake who has always maintained a confident expression since just now saw the abyss-like cold eyes in Leo's eyes, her expression froze instantly, and she couldn't help but feel a fear that she had never had before, which even made her look like a mortal. I couldn't help shivering as well.

The lady in the lake straightened up, took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and instinctively took a few steps back to keep herself away from Leo. After her emotions eased a little, she looked at Leo thoughtfully, with words written on her face. Full of doubts and surprises, he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Leo Dodd, a traveler." Leo said flatly.

"We should have a good talk!" Ms. Huzhong felt that she seemed to have become very passive, so she made her tone a little tougher and said.

"Today is not a suitable time to talk, I think you should leave, ma'am." Leo said this, the gloves of his hands turned into sacrificial knives, and at the same time he injected a spiritual energy into the sacrificial knife , causing a layer of faint blood to glow on the surface of the sacrificial knife.

The bloody light of the sacrificial knife intensified the fear in the lady in the lake. She felt that if she was injured by this small knife, it would probably be fatal, and this feeling of being close to death was something she had never experienced before.

This kind of fear made the lady in the lake couldn't help but took two steps back, and Leo's aura suddenly changed into another inexplicable state, which made the lady in the lake feel like some indescribable The existence of Leo stared at her through Leo's eyes.

This inexplicable aura also made the lady in the lake back again and again, until she leaned against the kitchen window, and the moonlight reflected on the surface of Yinyue Lake behind her shone on her body, blending with the light on her body, and finally It relieved her tension a little bit, and regained her composure.

"I think I've remembered you, traveler Leo Dodd." At this moment, the lady in the lake no longer spoke these words to Leo in a condescending tone. Europe is regarded as the same life form.

And Leo's aura receded like a tide at the moment, and the sacrificial knife returned to the shape of a glove, but his expression was still cold, and he responded without emotion: "It's my honor to be remembered by you, ma'am."

"I hope you can still be so confident when you see it." The lady in the lake who recovered seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and said with a deep smile with a chuckle.

"It?" Leo looked at the lady in the lake puzzled.

"It seems that the first god you saw was it, not me." The lady in the lake stepped back, her body turned into nothingness, passed through the wall, and stepped on the lake outside with her bare feet. Surrounded by a mass of silver light, and while his body gradually dissipated, he said to Leo: "We will meet again, traveler Leo Dodd."

Following these words, the body of the lady in the lake completely disappeared in the silver light, and the light on the lake returned to its original state.

At this moment, Leo was sitting limply on the ground like a puppet that had lost its support, heavy breathing came out of his nose, and beads of sweat that were as big as a bean came out of the pores like water with an open valve. When I came out, my clothes were soaked in no time.

At this moment, Leo felt that he had fought a battle that lasted for dozens of hours. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he just wanted to lie on the ground and not get up.

Just now he used the sacrificial knife to kill the remaining god-killing aura after killing the real eye. At the same time, he used his spirit to pretend to be the turbid and light master he had seen before, coupled with the mechanical will, so that any kind of spiritual detection ability of the opponent could be completely eliminated. Forfeited, and finally frightened the lady on the lake through these bluffing methods.

And the lady on the lake is more curious about Leo, not hostile, nor does she have the idea of ​​becoming a deadly enemy, so she chooses to back down, otherwise, if the two fight, Leo's chances of winning are very slim, even if he uses all Using desperate means to attack, it is a problem whether he can touch the body of the lady in the lake, let alone kill her.

Although Leo was a little puzzled as to why the lady in the lake noticed him, and even had direct contact with him, he didn't take this matter too seriously.

Thinking about the stories in the legends, it is not difficult to find that the Lady of the Lake has a soft spot for those powerful warriors, and she will often contact them in the form of mortals. Stories of warriors having children and such.

In the intelligence materials about the Church of the Eye of Reality, it is also mentioned in a few words that among all the churches in the dream world, the lady in the lake is the church god who has the most contact with mortals. Although it was a surprise to come into contact with a legendary deity head-on, if the deity was the lady in the lake, this unexpected emotion would not last long.

Judging from various legends, although the lady in the lake has a perverse personality, she will help if she likes it and frame it if she doesn't like it, but generally speaking, she is still a positive god, so after Leo completely annoyed the other party, and let Before the other party loses interest, he doesn't have to worry too much about the lady in the lake being bad for him.

Compared with the lady in the lake, Leo cares more about the one mentioned by the lady in the lake.

Although the lady in the lake used it as the beast to refer to the mysterious existence who had paid attention to Leo, Leo could hear that this nickname was just a helpless derogatory term. It's as if the lady in the lake has a very bad relationship with the one she mentioned, but she can't do anything to him, so she can only talk about it.

Therefore, instead of being able to regard this as some kind of beast or monster, Leo had to regard it as an existence equal to the lady in the lake. At this time, a figure could not help but appear in Leo's mind.

That day, after he entered the town on the seventh lake, he encountered two town guards being killed, and saw a black shadow in the lake taking away the corpse thrown into the water. At that time, the black shadow in the water also had some influence on his spirit, making him have the urge to jump into the water, but he used his mechanical will to get rid of this influence, so he couldn't let the black shadow succeed.

And when the black shadow disappeared, he was still unwilling to catch Leo, and let out a roar. Leo still remembers that piercing hiss to this day.

When the lady in the lake mentioned that there was an equal being who paid attention to him before her, the first thought in his mind was this shadow, this god known as the Corpse Collector.
