The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"You will go to the square first and wait for me tomorrow morning." After recalling the origin of the Lady in the Lake Festival in the Kingdom of England, Leo, who was going back to the apartment to study new weapons, suddenly changed his mind, closed the carriage door, The coachman gave orders.

The coachman obeyed the order, walked to the lead of the carriage, took the reins, and dragged the carriage out of the square where the crowds gathered. When he arrived at a place where there were few people, he quickly got on the driver's seat of the carriage and drove the carriage away quickly, which made him embarrassed. The place.

After the coachman left, Leo mixed into the crowd like an ordinary person, wandered around the vendors around the square, and randomly picked a theater troupe that performed for free and watched a play for a while, looking very leisurely.

The reason why he was interested in this festival was mainly because he was influenced by the previous emotions of this body. The former Leo Dodd had his first love at the Lady of the Lake festival. The ending was not ideal, but it made him engraved in his heart.

Just now, when recalling the origin of the Lady in the Lake Festival, the memory of this relationship was also awakened by the way, which made Leo feel an inexplicable feeling that he had never had before, and made the always rational Leo feel casual. After a while, I decided to stay in this festival.

The rich and aristocratic in the city, even middle-class citizens would choose to go to the Garden District to participate in the festival celebration of the Lady of the Lake, while most of the people who came to the farm outside the city were ordinary workers and poor people in the port of Sete. He wore his best clothes for the ceremony, but compared with Leo's clothes, they were not a little bit worse, and anyone with a little discernment could see it.

This also made Leo look out of place in the crowd, like an eagle mixed in with the chickens.

Many people are wondering why a decent person like Leo wants to participate in the festival here, and many women are eager to have a romantic relationship with Leo, but the indifferent expression on Leo's face makes these people look down. And timid, dare not approach, even if it is a drama sitting on the stands in the open-air seats, the seats around Leo will be deliberately vacated, and no one dares to sit beside him.

Leo could also feel that the atmosphere around him was not right, but he didn't care, he still went his own way, wandered around the square, visited all the stalls, and watched some free dramas Afterwards, Leo walked towards the small lake outside the village.

There is a large lake around Dorset Port. This lake was originally just a low-lying land, but after the tsunami several decades ago, the sea water poured back, making it a saltwater lake.

Port of Dorset is a rainy place. It rains almost two-thirds of the time every year. A large amount of rainwater gathers in the lake, and the salt in the lake water begins to dilute. Coupled with years of precipitation, the lake eventually changes from a saltwater lake to a freshwater one. Around the lake, trees also began to grow.

Most of the villages near the lake will choose to open a canal to guide the lake water to the vicinity of the village to provide enough fresh water for the village. Some low-lying lands are filled by these lakes to form small branch lakes.

The lake where Leo is now is also such a small artificially developed lake. Because this is the only water source for the villagers, the villagers also protect this lake very well. The lake water is extremely clear, even at night, with the moonlight shining, You can also vaguely see a little bit of the bottom of the lake.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the square, this place is obviously much quieter. Although it is quiet, it does not mean that there are no people here. In fact, many young men and women in the surrounding groves regard this place as a holy place for trysts. To prevent bugs in the woods, they also went to the incense shop in the city and bought some insect-repelling incense at a large price. After so many people lit the incense, the lake was filled with a faint fragrance. .

Although Leo came to the lake alone, compared to the square, he is not conspicuous. There are many lonely men and women like him by the lake. He (she) is not here to meet other men and women. , to develop a dewy love, but to mourn for his lost love, which also makes the atmosphere by the lake seem heavy and sad compared to the surrounding woods.

Leo walked to the lake, sat on a rock, lowered his head, and looked at the lake in front of him quietly.

He came here not to mourn for love, but because the imprint of the lady in the lake on his body had a faint resonance with this lake.

Among the marks of the gods on Leo's body, the mark of the lady in the lake is definitely the weakest one. Every time Leo needs to use the power of the marks of the gods, the first choice is those marks belonging to the ancient gods and outer gods, so that Leo almost forgot that there was such a divine imprint in his body.

But after returning to the world of Velen, all the imprints of the gods in Leo's body became weaker as if they had been suppressed by some kind. Almost all the imprints of the gods could produce similar power fluctuations, as if they were forcibly suppressed. one level below. In this case, the imprint of Lady in the Lake obtained from the dream world began to be revealed, and when she had a resonant response, she was able to stand out from the many imprints and be sensed by Leo.

When he came to the lake, Leo carefully sensed where the source of the imprint resonance was, but he soon discovered that the resonance response turned out to be the small lake in front of him, which reminded him of the legend of the lady in the lake.

It is said that all the lakes in the world lead to one place, and that place is the fairy palace of the lady in the lake, and the lady in the lake can also easily travel anywhere in the world through the connection of the lake. Playing with animals on the edge of the jungle lake, the next moment may appear in the palace lake of Fran, watching the nobles quarreling over worldly affairs.

Just when Leo infiltrated the spiritual net into the source of the lake's sensory resonance response, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Leo immediately sensed the abnormalities around him, turned his head and looked around, and saw that the wounded men and women sitting in the lake not far away and the passionate men and women in the woods all disappeared. Except for the woods, only I saw the silent lake in front of me reflecting the moonlight.

"Lady in the lake?" After seeing the abnormalities around him, Leo immediately had a guess in his heart and said to himself.

As his words fell, the moonlight on the lake in front of him suddenly spewed rays of light like a fountain, and a woman with a face that could make all women in the world ashamed emerged from the light, walking on the lake with bare feet When he arrived in front of Leo, he widened his eyes, looked at Leo curiously, and said, "Do I know you?"

"Yes, ma'am." Leo looked at the beautiful face in front of him, recalled the scene in Hushang Town in his mind, and couldn't help but compare the two.

He was surprised to find that there was a big difference between the two. The lady in the lake in the lake town was more like a person. Although she had a beautiful face, she had a bit of popularity. The lady in the lake in front of him was more in line with the definition of God in Leo's heart. His majesty, holy demeanor, and gestures all make people feel extremely perfect.

"I think so." The lady in the lake couldn't help showing a little surprise when she saw that Leo knew herself, and she still maintained an attitude of neither humble nor overbearing, and then nodded, saying: "You have my mark on you, I think we should have met, and I should value you very much, but why is there no such person as you in my memory? Can you tell me, mortal."

Saying this, the lady in the lake suddenly exuded a life pressure from a higher life, which landed on Leo, trying to suppress Leo and bow his head.

However, the imprint of the gods on Leo's body seemed to be stimulated, and they erupted at the same time, dispelling the coercion of the lady in the lake, and instead fell on the lady in the lake, making her feel as if she was surrounded by many gods illusion.

"You?" The lady in the lake quickly recovered from the shock. She looked at Leo who was exuding different spirits in shock, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, she calmed down from the shock, looked at Leo with a weird look, as if she was looking at some mysterious object she had never seen before, and murmured: "Why? Possibly? There is such a... is this true?"

Seeing this situation, Leo suddenly had an idea, and said the word Bolinaj that the victim had left in the depths of his spirit when he was sent out of Yam Island by the victim. He feels that this word is related to his physical condition, but he knows nothing about how to write the word except for the pronunciation of the word, and the strange thing about this word is that it cannot be pronounced with an ordinary voice, and must be passed through You can read it with spiritual vibration, otherwise, no matter how you utter your voice, you will not be able to say this word.

These days, Leo has also repeatedly studied this word. Apart from knowing that this word may mean asylum through similar pronunciation, he has no other understanding of this word. .

Sure enough, when Leo uttered that word, the astonishment that the lady in the lake had just calmed down resurfaced again, and she couldn't help but say, "You know, how could you know?"

At this moment, Leo felt blessed and said, "It's Ma'am, you told me."

"Me?" The lady in the lake was even more surprised, shaking her head again and again, and said, "Impossible! It can't be me!"

"Indeed, you told me." Leo could feel that the imprint of the gods in his body could prevent the lady in the lake from prying into his memory, so he made up a lie and said, "However, it was another you who told me this." , a you in the dream world."

"Dream world?" The lady in the lake was a little puzzled at first, but soon she seemed to think of something, with an unbelievable expression on her face, and walked up to Leo, a little nervously confirmed: "You Really saw another me, in another world?"

Hearing the lady in the lake's questioning, Leo nodded and said, "It is true that I saw you in another world, and he also left a mark of a god on me, which is the mark you see now."

"Yes! Yes! All of this makes sense." The lady in the lake suddenly showed a smile on her face, as if Leo had provided her with very happy news.

At this moment, Leo also confirmed that his judgment of the dream world was wrong at the beginning. It was not a world formed by dreams, but probably a real world. He noticed something, but it was only speculation and suspicion, and the performance of the lady in the lake now undoubtedly gave him a positive answer.

Moreover, judging from the attitude and expression of the lady in the lake, it is a very good thing for her to still have a lady in the lake in that world, even if the lady in the lake in the two worlds exists independently and has no connection with each other .

Just when Leo was wondering what the connection between that world and the gods of the Velen world was, the lady in the lake had escaped from her joy and returned to her original calm, and said to Leo: "Your news is very important to me. Saying is important, tell me! Mortal, tell me what do you want, a weapon that will make you invincible, a body that will never be injured, or an achievement that attracts worldwide attention?"

Hearing what the lady in the lake said, Leo shook his head slightly and said, "It is my honor to serve you, and I dare not ask for any extravagant reward."

"Cunning little guy!" The lady in the lake smiled and said, "Since the other I gave you a mark, then I will complete this mark!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped Leo's forehead. Leo only felt a slight tingling pain on his forehead, followed by an aura of power belonging to an Omega-level advanced life form. It poured directly into his body, injected into the imprint of the lady in the lake, and quickly merged into one.

Although Leo sensed the power of the imprint of the gods, he didn't find any changes in the lady in the lake's imprint, but he always felt that there seemed to be something more in the imprint, but these things may need specific conditions to be activated.

Just when he moved his attention away from the imprint of the gods, and was about to extract something related to his body from the mouth of the lady in the lake, the various sounds entering his ears and the clear incense diffused around him made Leo realize that the lake Ms. Zhong has left.

He looked around, and those people who disappeared just now reappeared by the lake, and everything returned to the original, the only thing that changed was that the resonance that attracted him here disappeared.

The surroundings had become normal, but Leo did not leave just now. He sat by the lake and recalled everything he had heard and seen just now, especially the various changes in expression and a small amount of language before and after the appearance of the lady in the lake. Less, but enough for Leo to guess something useful.

For example, the lady in the lake has revealed that the dream world is not as simple as Leo first speculated, nor is it a world created by humans, but the gods participate in it, but what is the role of the dream world? Why God wants to open up this world again is beyond what he can think of now.
