The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Leo admit that he had seen the lady of the lake, even if it was just the dream projection of the lady of the lake, Sylvia felt extremely shocked in her heart, but after being shocked, she thought of something, which made her fall into a trap. When he was in deep thought, his brows were also slightly frowned.

Seeing that Sylvia was thinking about something, Leo didn't say anything to disturb her, but looked her up and down.

Although Sylvia's appearance is the same as it was a few years ago, her temperament has changed greatly. This change is like the difference between a budding flower bud and a blooming flower.

Leo can feel that this change in temperament is not only related to Sylvia's experience over the years, but also related to the improvement of her bloodline. Her temperament contains a kind of spiritual energy that can affect the human soul Undulation, this is the same as the charm of the lady in the lake, except that one uses the divine power of a god, and the other uses the magic power of a witch.

At this moment, Leo found that there seemed to be a strange fluctuation in his heart that had never been seen before. This fluctuation was not due to the influence of spiritual energy fluctuations, nor was it due to the residual perception of his body from previous lives, but originated from himself. The feelings are derived from the feelings of biochemical human 74328.

In the Earth Federation, the issue of whether biochemical humans have the human emotions of normal people has always been the focus of debate between biochemical human rights protection organizations and human organizations.

Although many cyborg representatives elected by cyborg rights protection organizations all claim that cyborgs have human emotions, but Leo is very clear that cyborgs have the same physiological impulses as ordinary people, but they have no emotions, and their hearts are like robots. Even if one moment is a passionate bed partner, the next moment is an emotionless stranger.

But now, Leo has some doubts about his past judgment, because the emotional fluctuations he has now faced with Sylvia have nothing to do with physiology, and have nothing to do with the residual emotions of his body from previous lives. In the heart of my biochemical person, it comes from the soul belonging to 74328. It was also because of this that he could not use any method to suppress this emotion, and this sudden emotion also made him a little overwhelmed, and he even felt flustered in his heart that he had never had before.

"Something must have happened in the memory that disappeared. Not only did the body change, but the soul also changed!" Leo thought of the time when he faced Sylvia and the lady in the lake. Immediately, he had some doubts about the true emotions in his heart, and connected this incident with the changes in his body, which also made him more curious about the memory he had lost.

"You also have some doubts?" Just when Leo had doubts about his own situation, Sylvia suddenly asked inexplicably.

"Ah!?" Leo was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond.

However, Sylvia didn't seem to care about Leo's answer. Holding the glass on the table before, she got another glass of wine for herself, took a sip, and said, "You should also feel that this world is changing after you leave. There have been some changes in the past few years, are you curious about these changes?"

"Are you talking about the French Empire's recruitment of family members into the army?" Leo said tentatively.

"Sure enough, you have seen those hyenas. These bastards have been very active in the defense line of the Bidia Mountains recently. They cooperated with the bounty hunters on the black market and killed many of our colleagues." After hearing the family members of the imperial army, Sylvia said, His face immediately became full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have sympathized with these guys back then. I should have cooperated with the night watchmen to destroy all these quota guys."

Leo could hear that many things must have happened in the grievances between the Familiars and the Night Watchman over the years, and even affected a neutral organization like the Hearsay Society. Although he was curious, he didn't take the initiative to ask, but kept quiet. Be a listener.

"Someone in the society suspects that a new wave of magic power is coming." Sylvia jumped from the hatred of the family to another matter.

"You're talking about the magic tide theory proposed by the Englishman Bell?" Although Sylvia's words were nonsensical, Leo could understand the meaning of this sentence.

In the old man Rembrandt's library, Leo had seen various scholars' research materials. Among them, a scholar named Bell asked why so many gods appeared in the ancient world, and why those gods left to do research. There are some conjectures. Through the study of the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, he proposed a set of magic tide theory. In this set of theories, he used the ups and downs of tides to explain the law of the rise and fall of each civilization, and this law is very consistent with the rise and fall of gods and religions.

However, this tidal theory is not convincing in this era of steam industrialization, so it can only be put in the library to collect dust.

But this tidal theory made Leo think of the tidal hypothesis of cosmic psychic energy announced by the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences. The two have a very striking similarity. It's just that the frequency of ups and downs is divided by tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, while the magic tide in the Vinylon world is divided by thousands of years. Such a big gap between the two makes Leo feel that this piece of magic tide theory Incorrect, without much attention.

"Do you know Bell's magic tide theory?" Sylvia was about to explain what a magic tide is. Seeing that Leo would know the source of the magic tide theory, she was a little surprised, but soon figured it out, and said: " You should have read related articles from Master Rembrandt, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"That's good, it saves me the time to explain." Sylvia walked to the chair opposite Leo and sat down, saying: "Three years ago, for some reason, a large number of family members appeared, and people from the Orthodox Church also I found that the magic I used showed signs of strengthening, and the wizards in the wizarding assembly also reported that the magic power of the world had changed. At that time, we didn't take these things to heart. Later, some mysterious incidents happened frequently in various cities. It was only when I noticed that the world began to change, and then someone re-proposed Bell’s magic tide theory, and we also felt that a new round of magic tide was happening.”

After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo couldn't help frowning. He didn't agree with the conclusions drawn by Sylvia, or the Hearing Society and other dark world organizations. In his opinion, the so-called magic tide is not exist.

No one in this world knows better than him what the so-called magical power, divine power, and natural power are. The root of all extraordinary power is cosmic psionic energy. If, as Sylvia said, a new wave of magic power appears, then the first thing to change is the fluctuation of spiritual energy that covers the entire world.

If it was before, Leo didn't feel so strongly about the spiritual energy fluctuations in the whole world, but now he has become a fourth-level psyker, and he can use the method of the Earth Federation to easily find out the spiritual energy fluctuations from various cosmic energies. Come, so the psionic environment of the whole world of Velen has no secrets from him.

Just like what he felt when he just returned to the Velen world from the dream world, the current Velen world and the past Velen world have not changed in terms of psionic fluctuations, so the magic tide does not exist.

After clarifying his thoughts, Leo questioned: "Can you be sure that the magic tide really happened?"

Sylvia said solemnly: "If it's just a large-scale appearance of the family, we would still suspect that there is something wrong with the family, but now even the Orthodox Court and the Wizard's Assembly have heard news, so this something..."

Before Sylvia could finish speaking, Leo interrupted her and said: "The emergence of the steam industry has had a great impact on the world. This impact has both good and bad effects. After the emergence of the steam industry, both the Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church were affected badly, and their decline is increasingly visible."

"You mean that they are united to deliberately create the illusion of a new wave of magic power?" Sylvia guessed Leo's thoughts, but quickly retorted: "Impossible, the family and the wizard's assembly hall are not By the way, the Orthodox Church will never cooperate with the family members, you must know that these family members are all believers of evil gods or the descendants of believers of evil gods that the Orthodox Church wants to eliminate."

"If there is no evil god, is it necessary for the gods of the Orthodox Church to exist?" Leo said another sentence that can be said to be shocking to the world.

Hearing this sentence, Sylvia was a little thankful that she had used wizards and wonders to block the sound of the room just now, because Leo's words were completely blasphemy. The priests will be dispatched, deal with Leo and then hurry up.

It's just that while being shocked and afraid by Leo's words, Sylvia had to admit that Leo's words made some sense. Thinking about it carefully, it might not be impossible, but soon she shook her head vigorously, like He wanted to get rid of the blasphemous thoughts in his mind, and repeated with some lack of confidence: "Impossible, the Orthodox Church will never cooperate with the family."

"They don't need to cooperate at all." Leo continued: "The large-scale appearance of the family is an opportunity. The reason for this phenomenon is unknown. It's a good opportunity, they don't need to contact the family members, they just need to say some appropriate words at the right time to create the illusion that a new wave of magic power is coming, and it's not just them, the night watchmen and the inside of the Hearing Society I'm afraid there are quite a few people who are secretly contributing to the flames. If I'm not wrong, since the emergence of the Magic Tides theory, members of the Orthodox Court, Wizards' Gathering House, Families, Night Watchmen, and your Mystery Society have all been more or less I got some benefits, such as influence, right to speak, and so on.”

Sylvia didn't say anything to refute, but fell into deep thought.

Leo continued: "Think about it, even Francis, a scholar who specializes in language, has been reused by the French Empire because of his ability to interpret the language of the gods in the past, and even the face of the family, which was dark in the past. The world organization has also paid the water and became the officers and soldiers of the Faran Empire. I think that with the Faran Empire as an example, other countries should also pay more attention to the various organizations in the dark world, and they will not hesitate to recruit them with large sums of money or high positions. Let’s go back to the next chapter. If these shady organizations are like this, what about the Orthodox Church? The power status of the Orthodox Church should have improved a lot over the years, right?”

"Don't say it!" Sylvia interrupted Leo's words, her face was a little gloomy, and she gave Leo a hard look, and said, "You are such a devil, as soon as you appear, you can't wait to disrupt the order of the whole world." Chaos, do you know what kind of impact your speculations will have if it gets out?"

Leo smiled, and asked Sylvia calmly, "Will you spread the word?"

Sylvia gave Leo a white look, and said, "I still want to live on." Then, as if she had figured it out, her face gradually improved, and she said, "I didn't hear anything just now, and you didn't say anything. ,Understand?"

"Understood." Leo also didn't want to get involved in this big trouble, so he happily accepted Sylvia's proposal.

Seeing that Leo accepted her proposal, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter is too dangerous. Once it gets out, the turmoil created will spread to the entire Velen civilized world. People who died because of this matter There are probably countless people, even the Orthodox Church cannot avoid it.

What's more, the magic tide is not a bad thing for her, and she is also one of the vested interests, so it is the best choice to pretend to be deaf and dumb and forget about it.

"Where are you going next?" Sylvia asked, both changing the subject and asking the question she wanted to know just now.

Leo replied truthfully: "For the time being, it is the Port of Sate in the Kingdom of England. My friends are there, and I also have several properties there. After a short rest, I may go to other places to take a look."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was a little disappointed. Obviously, this was different from the answer she wanted, but she had no intention of keeping the other party, except because the vague affection only stayed in the In addition to the feeling, the more important thing is that she and Leo are the kind of people who are very self-contained. Many times the decisions they make will not be changed because of other people. Perhaps it is precisely because of this similarity in personality that makes She has kept such a trace of affection deep in her heart for so many years.

Clearly seeing the disappointment on Sylvia's face, Leo couldn't help but add, driven by the impulse in his heart, "But I'm not in a hurry to go back to the Kingdom of England, I can stay here longer some time."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was stunned, looked at Leo as if looking at a stranger, and asked at the same time: "Are you okay? This is really related to your personality..."

"It's fine if you don't want to." Leo turned his face away, not wanting Sylvia to see his embarrassing expression, and said in a somewhat blunt tone.

Seeing Leo's expression for the first time, Sylvia couldn't help laughing, which made Leo feel even more embarrassed, and secretly hated her impulsive words just now.
