The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo walked to the altar, squatted down and checked the altar.

Different from the altars of gods in other churches, the altar of Ms. Elegant is very small and simple. flower garden.

It is recorded in the wizard's notes that the finch vine is a magical plant. The flowers can be used to refine medicine, and the thorns can be used to make poison. As the growth of the finch vine increases, a magic field will be formed around the finch vine, which is conducive to the wizard's cultivation. So in the past, outside the wizard tower of the wizard, this kind of magic plant would be planted.

When Leo squatted down to look at the altar, he could feel a weak fluctuation of spiritual energy around him. It can be seen that the sparrow vine does have the effect of improving the spiritual energy environment.

In addition, according to the plant knowledge Leo learned from medical classics, he found that the group of broom vines in front of him had grown for at least a hundred years, and thinking about the environment of Venaya Port before, it was not difficult to guess that the broom vines were not Newly planted, but transplanted.

This discovery also made Leo realize that the elegant female believer who arranged the altar must have a very good ability to transplant plants, because so far the botany department of the medical school has not found the correct method to successfully transplant the bird flower vine. This patch of broom vines with obvious transplant characteristics was seen by people from the medical school, and it would definitely trigger a series of sensational reactions.

Leo could see from the neat environment around the altar and the carefully pruned bird vines that the people who built this altar were very careful, and this kind of care and carefulness also revealed a kind of pious belief, so it can almost be judged that the construction The person at the altar must be a devout believer of Ms. Elegant, and should also be a senior member of Ms. Elegant Church, and may even be at the level of the priest.

I saw that Leo suddenly reached out and drew a symbol that looked like an eye on the stone platform of the altar. This symbol was learned by Leo from the knowledge of the Web Weaver. Whether sacrifices were made during the day. This kind of sacrifice is not a simple sacrifice that randomly places sacrifices and then prays, but a real sacrifice. One of the sacrifices must be a full-time priest of the church with spiritual powers, and after the sacrifice ceremony, the sacrifice The sacrifice must also be enjoyed by the gods, otherwise, it would not be considered a formal sacrifice.

Just when Leo finished drawing the symbol and injected spiritual energy into it according to the method he learned, the symbol immediately glowed with white light, and then Leo seemed to hear a cat meowing in his ear. Although the voice did not sound deterrent, Leo felt a burst of inexplicable pressure. This pressure did not come from the body, but the pressure brought about by the gap in the level of the mind.

However, because of Leo's super willpower, this pressure didn't affect him too much, and it didn't even affect his physical actions.

These discoveries gave Leo a lot of useful information. For example, Ms. Elegant does still exist, just like the Lord of the Sky, but her condition does not seem to be good. She is in a state of only spirit and no body. The pressure is off.

In addition, Ms. Elegant's psychic level did not exceed level nine, perhaps only around level eight, comparable to the Eye of Truth. Because if Ms. Elegant has evolved to an Omega-level advanced creature, even if there is no physical body, only the spirit exists, which is enough to suppress Leo in all directions. Get rid of the pressure caused by meowing.

There is another discovery, that is the original intention of the symbol drawn on the altar of Leo Zi, this altar has completed a sacrifice within ten days, and in that sacrifice, the elegant lady came in person and enjoyed the sacrifice.

After getting the answer he wanted, Leo decided to go to the apartment next door to find the high priest of that elegant lady.

However, when he stood up and was about to turn around, his body movements stopped, a little surprise appeared on his face, and he looked around.

I saw that at some point in this small garden, hundreds of cats had gathered. They were either squatting, lying down, standing on the fence, or climbing on the branches. What kind of posture is he doing now, all staring at Leo with those cat eyes.

Ordinary people would definitely feel uncomfortable being stared at by so many cat eyes, but Leo didn't feel any discomfort. An orange cat then walked over, lowered its head and said to the orange cat, "Your Excellency, won't you come out and meet me?"

The orange cat showed a humanized surprised expression, obviously surprised that Leo could find himself out of the group of cats so easily, and then it let out a meow, and all the cats around seemed to have heard the order They usually spread out, and soon only Leo and the orange cat were left in the garden.

"There is no need to meet, it is good for us to talk like this." The orange cat licked the cat's paw, and said to Leo: "A strong man who has never seen before suddenly came to the altar of my lord, which inspired my lord. I can't be careless about the power remaining in the altar, after all, there are still many enemies in this world."

"Leo Dodd, a traveler." Leo introduced himself.

"Doris Weier, the owner of the small garden." At this time, a soft female voice came from the garden entrance towards the apartment building, and then a graceful woman with a shawl on her body walked in. Out of the garden, came to Leo, picked up the orange cat, sat on the chair, then put the orange cat on his lap, and stroked it gently.

Just like Ms. Elegant, the believers of Ms. Elegant Church will always maintain their elegant posture. It is this posture that makes many ladies choose to believe in Ms. Elegant, thus making Ms. Elegant’s Church a place among nobles. The circle spreads.

Leo stared at the other party, not fascinated by the other party's posture, still with a cold face, and asked straightforwardly: "Just twenty minutes ago, someone carried out a robbery in the antique shop of the Holy Blood, the robbery Walked away with three skull bowls, and those three skull bowls are exactly what I want to buy, and I don't want to lose these three skull bowls."

"My lord, what does this matter have to do with me?" Although Doris Weier still maintained her elegant posture, she could already faintly feel Leo's strength, and her tone couldn't help but lowered. less, and actively put themselves on the weak side in terms of appellation.

Leo said in a deep voice: "I saw a cat pendant on one of the customers of the antique shop. After the accident, the pendant disappeared, but the customer of the antique shop didn't know that he had such a pendant on him from the beginning to the end. fall."

Doris Weil immediately showed an ugly look on her face. It was obvious that she knew who the incarnation of the cat god belonged to, and she also knew the consequences of provoking the Holy Blood in Port Venaya.

"I didn't do that." Doris Weier instinctively said.

"I know you didn't do it." Leo could hear that the other party wasn't lying, and then said: "But you must know who did it?"

Doris didn't hesitate or think, and said directly: "I don't know who that person is, I just know that he came to Venaya City two months ago, although he is also a believer of Ms. It's not the way of elegance, but the way of thieves. It has nothing to do with me. I met him by accident when he was stealing a noble's treasure more than a month ago, but we didn't have any communication, just a tacit understanding non-interference."

Leo pondered for a moment, then asked again: "The cats in the entire Venaya Port are your eyes and ears, you should know the location of this person, right?"

Doris shook her head, and said: "Ms. Elegant's way of thieves is the best at hiding, even I don't know where he is." She paused again, and continued: "The only thing I can be sure of is He must be a nobleman, and a nobleman of the French Empire."

Leo questioned: "Why are you so sure? Didn't you have no contact with him?"

"Although I haven't been in contact with him, my cat has seen him stealing things. I can tell from his actions that he has received very orthodox knight training. Only the French Empire in the entire Velen world will stipulate Nobles must receive formal knight training." Doris explained, and seemed worried that Leo would not believe her words, so she added: "Just like I see you now, even if you don't tell me, I know you He is a warrior, and he is a warrior who has experienced countless times of war. You don’t need to observe carefully, you can smell a strong smell of blood just by smelling it.”

Hearing this, Leo didn't question Doris's words. He stood up and was about to leave, but when he walked to the exit of the garden, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Doris and asked, "Do you know who he is?" Why steal the skull bowl?"

"I don't know about that." Doris shook her head, looking helpless.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the garden. The figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

After Leo left, Doris, who had been in an elegant state just now, finally gasped heavily regardless of her posture. It took a while to recover from her nervousness, and the gasping sound gradually weakened.

"Damn it, I already knew that guy would cause me trouble. I didn't expect to provoke such a powerful person. His strength may be about the same as that of the Holy Blood Society's Lord Crow. I'm afraid I will be in trouble this time." Dolly Si's face was extremely gloomy. After thinking for a while, she immediately stood up and returned to the apartment building. She casually pushed away the guests who were going to strike up a conversation with her, walked directly to the loft office on the top floor, and pulled a few wires in the office rope.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the office, and as Doris came in, seven people with different clothes came in from outside. Among the seven people were businessmen, nobles, porters, and policemen, and among them was a child wearing a peaked cap.

"The glory of elegance will always shine on you, dear lady." After entering, several people took off their hats at the same time, and praised in untidy voices.

"The glory of elegance will never go out." Doris also made a religious gesture representing an elegant lady, and then she asked the seven people in front of her very seriously: "I need to ask you something, and you must answer it honestly. Because this matter is related to whether our church will conflict with the Order of the Holy Blood."

Hearing what Doris said, several people showed puzzled expressions on their faces, but they also expressed that they would answer the questions honestly.

Doris stared at her subordinates, and asked in a deep voice: "Did any of you sell information about Old Bill's antique shop to strangers during this time?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Only the kid with the peaked cap became very ugly, stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, I sold a piece of information about Old Bill's Antique Store."

"Who did you sell it to?" Doris looked at the child with a gloomy face and asked.

"Little Brother Nick." The child replied immediately.

"Ah? Brother Nick?" At this moment, a young man in overalls who looked like an ordinary worker exclaimed, and his face paled a lot.

"What's going on?" Doris asked, turning her head to the young man.

The young man looked at Doris nervously, and said cautiously: "Yesterday, my subordinates received an order, and someone offered 5,000 Venaya coins to kill Brother Nick."

"Couldn't you have done it already?" The man dressed as an aristocrat looked concerned about the young man's situation, but there was some schadenfreude in his eyes.

The young man glared at his colleague, then lowered his head towards Doris, and said, "Just an hour ago, I personally sank Brother Nick into the sea."

"Damn it!" Doris cursed loudly, ignoring her disrespect in front of her subordinates.

At this time, Doris was very clear that she was framed by someone, and now she has been completely connected with this matter, the information was sold from her, and the person who sold the information was also killed by her, even if she told the Holy Blood It wasn't her who robbed the Holy Blood's antique shop, so I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly.

After she got angry, she thought about it quickly, and said to her subordinates: "Now you immediately gather people to monitor the aristocratic areas of the Faran Empire," and then said to the child and young man: "You two now Come with me to the Holy Blood, hope that can explain clearly."

"Madam, may I ask what happened?" Among the seven people, the oldest businessman couldn't help asking.

Doris did not hide anything, and told everyone what Leo said. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasped, and they all realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the Holy Blood Society has no reputation in other places, it is a well-deserved underground overlord in Port Venaya. Now someone has robbed their antique shop, and it is still in the underground city controlled by the headquarters of the Holy Blood Society. It was a slap in the face of the Holy Blood, and those who indirectly participated in the robbery would definitely suffer first.

Thinking of this, everyone quickly walked out of the office and began to monitor the aristocratic district of the Faran Empire as Doris ordered.
