The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hundreds of years have passed since the great war that year. Judging from the records of this experience in ordinary ancient books that can be read at will, the follow-up battlefield cleaning of that great war has already been completed, and other people who saw this record also They will be as curious as Leo to take a look, even if there are any good things in the past few hundred years, they will probably have been picked up long ago.

Leo didn't expect to find any good things, but he was more interested in the battlefield itself, because he didn't know if it was arranged on purpose. In short, there are some travel guides about this castle in the books on the airship , the guide specifically mentioned the Ghost Mist Lake next to the ancient castle, and after a little comparison, it was not difficult for him to find that the location of the Ghost Mist Lake seemed to be the battlefield of the battle between wizards and evil gods recorded in the ancient book.

In the travel guides about Ghost Mist Lake, they all mentioned a legend. The legend is related to the lady in the lake. There was once a downcast free knight from the Kingdom of Maris passing by, and he camped and slept in Ghost Mist Lake for one night. .

In his sleep, the knight was invited by the lady of the lake, entered the Hall of Valor, accepted the test of those knight models in ancient legends, finally passed all the tests, and was given a sword of justice by the lady of the lake , and told him that as long as he always pursues righteous things, he who holds the sword of justice will be invincible, but if he does things that violate justice, then he will be spurned by justice and lose all the power gained from justice .

When the knight woke up the next day, he really had a sword of justice by his side, and for many years afterwards he followed the warnings of the lady in the lake and practiced justice, so he was also invincible on the battlefield. And gradually gained higher and higher status.

Until his political opponents knew about the sword of justice, they designed to frame the knight and let him make a wrong judgment in a daily interrogation, thus violating the oath of justice.

Afterwards, the knight also lost that invincible power, and was finally defeated by his political opponents and died on the battlefield, and the sword of justice disappeared. However, there is another legend that it was taken away by the lady in the lake.

In the eyes of many people, this story is just a reprint and adaptation of the legendary knight in the Kingdom of England. In fact, there is no such a knight of justice, which can be found from the historical records of the Kingdom of Maris.

However, there is one invincible knight like the knight of justice. This knight has stood out in battle after battle. From a small hired knight to a powerful earl of the territory, it's just what this knight did In the eyes of ordinary people, it has nothing to do with justice, because after every war, this knight will lead his men to burn, kill and loot nearby villages.

However, after reading this text, Leo felt that this notorious knight should be the legendary knight of justice.

Because the standard of justice is often different for different people, just like those villages that were slaughtered, in the eyes of others, those villages are innocent people, but in the eyes of some people, these villages may be the evil that violates justice Gathering place, slaughtering them does not have any psychological burden, which is very similar to the justice knight under the evil god of justice.

As the birthplace of the story, Ghost Mist Lake is actually related to two gods, one is the evil god of justice, and the other is the lady in the lake. This is what interests Leo.

Although in the Kingdom of Marris, the Lady of the Lake does not have the status of a quasi-state religion like in the Kingdom of England, compared to other churches, the Church of the Lady of the Lake still has a high status in the Kingdom of Marris, which also has many knights. Influence, because of the effects of various legends among the people, is greater than that of the hill king.

However, it is a bit strange that such a church with such a strong influence would allow some folklore to mix their object of belief with an evil god that was destroyed by a wizard, without proceeding to ban it.

Leo got off the airship, greeted the airship security who was in charge of guarding around the castle, and left the abandoned castle, moving towards Ghost Mist Lake.

Although the security guards of the airship had stopped him, it was just a routine, and they didn't pay much attention to it. From their point of view, even if something happened to Leo outside, they couldn't be blamed.

Leo left the abandoned castle without any worries, let go of his strength, and moved quickly in the jungle. The road that ordinary people would take half a day to walk, he only took less than half an hour, and he didn't get lost halfway, because the ghost fog In his vision, the lake is as eye-catching as a huge lamp post.

"The power of the gods, even the power of the evil gods, will not disappear so easily!" Standing beside the Ghost Mist Lake, Leo could feel the faint divine power of the gods permeating the lake. And the mist that condensed in the air couldn't help muttering.

"The gods are eternal, and the power of the gods is also eternal." At the moment when the words fell, the voice of the lady in the lake suddenly sounded next to Leo's ear, and then he saw the fog on the lake in front of him moving quickly. , fell beside him, and condensed into a vague human form.

"Hello, ma'am!" Although in front of him is just an incarnation created by the lady in the lake with divine power, and will not suppress Leo's life level, he still loves this goddess who can show miracles in the world at any time Absolutely awe-inspiring, with no fault of manners.

The other party didn't answer Leo, because it was a blurred human figure formed by the thick fog, so he couldn't see the other party's expression, but Leo could still feel the other party's eyes scanning back and forth on his body, and he could also feel a divine power It seemed to be testing himself, which made him feel that the one standing opposite was not the lady of the lake, but a strange god.

It's just that this idea only appeared in Leo's mind for a moment and then disappeared immediately. For those powerful life forms, the appearance may be changed at will, but the most original power is like a constant identity card that cannot be falsified.

Leo has the imprint of the lady of the lake on his body. When he was familiar with the second nervous system on the boat, he has repeatedly tried to use the divine power of the lady of the lake to discover the mystery of the power hidden in it, so he can say something to the spirit of the lady of the lake. He knows it well, so he can easily judge the authenticity of the lady in the lake in front of him.

"Are you wondering why I look at you this way?" After a while, the lady in the lake suddenly spoke, clarifying the doubts in Leo's heart.

"Yes." Leo replied honestly.

"I am one with her, but not one." The lady in the lake explained briefly and said.

Although this sentence is contradictory and sounds very convoluted, Leo can understand the meaning of this sentence. He was saying that the lady of the lake that he and Leo met in the Kingdom of England, and the lady of the lake that he saw in the town of Lake Town, were all the ladies of the lake, but they were all separate individuals.

This information also made Leo feel a little surprised, because the situation of the lady in the lake only appeared in Omega-level advanced life forms that had been severely injured and used the seeds of life.

Although Omega-level advanced life forms claim to be eternal, they are not. They are also very aware of this, so they will prepare some back-ups in their long years in case something happens to them , there is a way to recover or even resurrect in a short time, and these backhands are the seeds of life.

No one knows what the life seeds of Omega-level advanced life forms are like, because this is the most important secret for any Omega-level high-level life form. Anyone who explores this matter will encounter Omega. The pursuit of high-level life forms until all those who violated the taboo are dead.

However, even so, there are always some fish that slip through the net, and the secrets about the seeds of life are spread out. The Earth Federation attaches great importance to any information about Omega-level advanced life forms, and naturally will not miss this important information. So Leo, who is a senior officer of the biochemical man, can also know some of these things more or less.

"Why did you come here?" The lady in the lake didn't know that Leo had learned about his condition from his words, but asked normally.

Leo replied truthfully: "The place I'm going to is Pender Harbor. I'm in Ghost Mist Lake because I read some rumors about this lake during the day. I knew it was related to you, lady. I was curious, so I came here. .”

"You should be wondering why I got involved with an evil god, right?" The lady in the lake easily saw through Leo's mind.

"Yes." Leo admitted honestly.

"What do you think of this matter?" Ms. Hu Zhong asked with great interest.

"Before I met you, I thought it was just a coincidence, but now..." Leo hesitated a little while speaking, and finally said, "But now I think you should be the one who was killed by three people back then." The evil god of justice destroyed by the tower wizard."

"It's easy to talk to a smart person. If I wasn't surrounded by such brainless idiots back then, I would have had someone like you." The lady in the lake murmured quietly to herself, and said, "You You guessed right, I am justice, or maybe I used to be justice.”

"Why?" Leo suddenly asked a little too much, but his question was a bit endless.

The lady in the lake didn't blame Leo for overstepping, and understood Leo's question, and replied casually: "It's very simple, I just want to take a step forward, just like the Lord of the Sky and the King of the Hill."

"Then what's the result?" Leo vaguely guessed some secrets about the gods from the answer.

"I failed, but some succeeded." Ms. Lake said.

Although the facial features of the lady in the lake could not be seen from the mist incarnation, Leo could feel that the lady in the lake was smiling when she said these words, a smile of relief as well as a smile of complacency.

Leo suddenly realized, and said, "Did you know it from the imprint of the gods on my body?"

The lady in the lake didn't answer, but there was a burst of laughter in Leo's ears.

After the laughter fell, the lady in the lake said: "If you don't see me for a few more years, I will disappear in a daze. Since you have brought me some good news, I will also give you some good news." Some things, it’s a pity that I have given away all the things in my hand, even if I have them, it’s not suitable for you.”

"Why don't you answer a few questions for me?" Leo could feel that the lady in the lake was in a very good mood, so he bargained boldly.

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. I can't answer your question." The lady in the lake seemed to see through Leo's mind and said, "If it was before, I might know why your body is so special and can hold so much strength. , the gods, the abyss, and the outer gods, these forces did not conflict, it is really amazing. Unfortunately, I have forgotten too many things now, and the memory related to your body is also the part that is being lost. "

Leo was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it.

"I remember, I remember something that may be useful to you." The lady in the lake suddenly seemed to remember something, walked to the lake, knelt down, and stirred the lake water with her hand, and then saw He took out a locator from the lake and handed it to Leo.

This locator is similar in appearance to the sea locator, but its interior is completely different from the sea locator, and a large number of complex and subtle Turing radicals are nested together, forming a seemingly small, but actually huge wizard circle.

"What is this?" Leo asked puzzled.

"I don't know." The lady in the lake shook her head and said, "I just know that this thing came from one of the three tower wizards who attacked me."

Hearing this, Leo put the things into the storage space in front of the lady in the lake. Although he really wanted to study this magical object of the wizard now, he also knew that the occasion was inappropriate.

Seeing that Leo had accepted his thank you gift, the lady in the lake didn't intend to continue talking to Leo, she just dissipated the fog avatar from her body and disappeared from Leo's eyes.

However, it cannot be said to have completely disappeared, because there is still a beautiful cross sword in the place where the lady in the lake disappeared.

Seeing this long sword, Leo couldn't help smiling, he knew without guessing that this long sword should be the long sword of justice in folklore.

After thinking for a while, Leo picked up the long sword.

Just the moment he picked it up, Leo felt a very strong impulse suddenly surged in his heart, this impulse made him want to immediately destroy all evil things in the world.

Although the impulse appeared suddenly, Leo had been prepared for a long time, and he was not affected by this impulse at all. His strong willpower made him completely immune to such abnormal thoughts caused by external influences.

And just when Leo completely controlled this impulsive feeling, the long sword of justice in his hand immediately rotted and shattered as if it had experienced the baptism of time, but when it was completely reduced to debris, A ray of light gushed out of the debris and merged into Leo's right hand holding the long sword, and a tattoo of a long sword appeared on the back of his right hand.
