The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It is not surprising that the government army and the rebel army have extraordinary people. After all, compared to hanging around at the bottom of the dark world, they may die at any time because they see something unbearable. It's much more comfortable, and anyone with a little brain knows how to choose.

However, the Maris man in front of him was the first time Leo had seen a transcendent person other than a witch who had reached the level of a fourth-level psychic through his own blood, which also made Leo pay special attention to this person in front of him.

Leo didn't use the spirit net to detect the opponent's physical condition, because a transcendent as strong as the opponent should be able to detect the existence of the spirit net, and that would inevitably cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, even if there is no spiritual net, Leo can still discover some secrets about the opponent's power through supernatural perception. For example, the opponent's energy should be related to flames, because there is a hot breath in his energy fluctuations. Like a volcano that erupts.

Psykers of the thermal energy system are definitely the main force in psionics, whether in the world of Velen or in the universe.

Those psykers who are proficient in thermal psychic skills and can skillfully control psychic energy have extremely strong destructive power from the beginning, and in the mid-term, they are like human-shaped nuclear bombs, and when they reach the ninth-level psyker, they can even be in In a short period of time, it produces a power comparable to that of a star, and some even directly turn into a star when it is upgraded to an Omega-level advanced life form.

The Transcendent in front of him is naturally unable to compare with those heat-type psykers who have undergone cruel training in the universe, but he still can't underestimate him. According to Leo's estimate, even if the other party's strength cannot match that of Seran, who was bathed in fire, he still can't. It won't be any worse.

While Leo was probing the mystery of the rebel officer's strength and judging his strength, Fatty Robert and the rebel officer were also observing each other, and they seemed to have thought of something and looked at each other in surprise , the expression on his face has also become a lot more cautious.

Perhaps this officer regarded Leo as Fat Robert's bodyguard, so after recognizing the other party's identity, he didn't look at Leo more, and without asking, he directly put the salute in Leo's side of the luggage On the shelf, he sat down on Leo's bed.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Robert, the black market manager of Dry Steel City." The officer directly revealed Robert's identity, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Robert is planning to abandon Dry Steel City." Ordinary people, let those ordinary people be threatened with death by monsters day and night, while you run away alone?"

"Your Excellency is not concerned about this, the crisis in Dry Steel City has long passed, and it is safe now." Fat Robert snorted coldly, and then said confrontationally: "On the contrary, Your Excellency Sherph walked out so generously, could it be Are you not afraid that the adjudicator of the Church of the Hill King will arrest you, an apostate?"

After hearing the officer's name and previous identity mentioned in Fat Robert's words, Leo quickly realized who this person was.

Because of Sylvia's relationship, Leo also learned something about the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church.

Most of the judges of the Orthodox Church come from various churches, and they are the most outstanding paladins of each church. Only a few people like Sylvia will become judges for special reasons.

Among the judges, most of them will hide their identities, because what they have to deal with are the most evil and brutal cultists, out-of-control family members, etc. If their identities are made public, their families may be in danger.

But there are exceptions to everything, and there are some people who will spare no effort to publicize their reputation, and the arbiter Shelf Mourning is one of them.

The adjudicator Sherf Mourning is a well-known figure in the dark world. He once destroyed the summoning ceremony of the evil spirits of seven cultists, but none of the seven cultists survived, and more than 400 cultists died. Ordinary people were indirectly involved in the conflict between the two, and the casualties were also high. It is no exaggeration to say that Sherf is definitely a humanoid natural disaster.

However, during a mission to destroy the heretics’ dens, Scherf suddenly left behind the ordinary fighters of the Orthodox Church who assisted him in dealing with the cultists, and left the battlefield, causing those fighters to be completely annihilated under the siege of the cultists. As a preparatory adjudicator, the Orthodox Church suffered heavy losses and did not recover for more than ten years.

Some people speculated that the reason why Sherf did this was because he was a powerful adjudicator, but he did not get the corresponding status and respect in the Orthodox Church. According to his position at the time, he was only a line above the new adjudicator, so Sherf Feeling resentful, he directly cheated the Orthodox Church once.

Regarding these rumors, neither Sherph nor the Orthodox Church responded, but it was strange that a month later, the Church of the Hill King declared Sherf an apostate, and while sending people to hunt for Sherf, they also The black market offered a reward, but the Orthodox Court did not respond to it.

Afterwards, the Church of the Hill King launched several large-scale arrest operations, but they all ended in failure. This also raised Sheerf's reputation several levels in disguise, and some people even claimed that Sherf should be the strongest adjudicator.

However, Scherf disappeared suddenly later, and the King of the Hill did not pursue him closely, and the Orthodox Court did not even ask about it.

Some people also saw some clues from these things, and felt that there might be something wrong with the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the Church of the Hill King, but neither side expressed their attitude, and no one asked about it over time.

The reason why Sherf ridiculed Fatty Robert after recognizing his identity was entirely because when he was hunted down, in addition to the people of the church, there were also a large number of bounty hunters and superhumans who offered bounty on the black market to participate in this matter. , and his whereabouts are spread out by the black market most of the time, so his attitude towards the black market will naturally not be good.

And if it was any other time, fat Robert met Sherf who is known as the strongest adjudicator. Even if he was ridiculed, he would never dare to contradict him. After all, Sherf's strength is clearly here. But if she was killed by Sherf, I am afraid it would be for nothing.

However, the situation is different now, Leo is by his side and agrees to protect him on the road. He re-recognized Leo's strength from Leo's solution to the out-of-control person, which made him believe that Leo must be stronger than Scherf. Stronger, that's why he is so bold to confront Sherf.

Fatty Robert's tit-for-tat rebuttal surprised Sherf. He obviously didn't expect Robert to contradict him so directly, but he didn't try to teach him a lesson. Instead, he calmly thought about it and found out from Robert's expression that The source of the other party's confidence, so he turned his head and looked at Leo who was sitting quietly reading a book. He was also quickly searching for memories in his mind, comparing the extraordinary people he knew in the black market.

"Shelf Mourning." Shelf didn't find Leo's figure in his memory, so he reached out to Leo and said directly.

Leo raised his hand, shook the other's hand, and said, "Leo Dodd."

"Leo Dodd?" Scherff was stunned for a moment. He felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was referring to.

At this time, he suddenly noticed Leo's slightly accented Marris language, and thought that Leo might not be a native of the country, so he immediately released the comparison range in his mind, and found a possible partner in a short time.

"Ingeman Leo Dodd?" Scherff asked in confirmation.

"Yes." Leo did not deny it, but nodded.

Scherf looked at Leo in surprise, because according to the information he received, Leo Dodd should be in the southwest at the moment. How could he go to the northeast where the location is completely opposite?

Although the black market is the only one in the dark world's intelligence transactions, it is not without other organizations fighting against the black market. Shelf has also obtained a lot of information from these small organizations. Leo Dodd, who attaches great importance to the black market Naturally, I also noticed it.

However, the reason why Scherf really paid attention to Leo Dodd was more from the selection of the king Saran. He accidentally heard the name Leo Dodd from Saran not long ago, and knew that Saran Lan listed Leo Dodd as one of the most dangerous people.

A powerful existence like the chosen king Saran who really stands at the top of the dark world is regarded as extremely dangerous, and he warns people around him not to cause trouble, which is enough to make Shelf curious about Leo Dodd.

But it was just curiosity. He didn't think there would be any intersection with Leo Dodd at the time. In addition, due to the weakness of the rebel army in the confrontation with the government forces in the Northeast, several mid-level officers of the rebel army were assassinated. , so the high level of the rebel army specially gave him the status of a special commissioner, and went to the northeast to deal with these problems. Until today, the problems were solved and the rebel army also achieved the expected goal, so he decided to leave.

Originally, he didn't plan to build a steam train, but planned to take the waterway all the way down the southwest, which would be a lot of money, but he heard that there was a grand auction going to be held in Yasha County, and he was very impressed with the goods in the auction. Curious, he decided to take the train to Yasha County instead.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that just as he got in the car, he met a person who disgusted him and a person who made him feel that there would be no intersection.

"I've heard about you, Mr. Leo." Scherf looked Leo up and down, re-examining the legendary figure he had inadvertently ignored just now.

Leo responded directly: "Many people have heard about me."

Sherf was stunned for a moment, and he was not irritated by Leo's indifferent response, but he emphasized a little, and said, "I heard about your Excellency from Ms. Saran."

Leo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and continued to look at the book in his hand without saying anything.

Compared with Leo's indifference, Fatty Robert's heart was overwhelmed. He didn't expect to hear a big secret, that is, the King Chosen Saran appeared and stood on the side of the rebels. This made him have to re-examine the strength of the rebel army.

Although Saran was recognized as a witch by the Orthodox Church, and was wanted by the entire Orthodox Church because of her behavior back then. Saran is simply the most legendary heroine in the Kingdom of Marris.

Whether she turned the tide and saved the Maris Kingdom from the brink of extinction, or her subsequent reforms brought the Marris Kingdom back to the list of powerful countries, etc., are all stories that are familiar to all Marris people.

And many people think that if the Orthodox Church hadn't intervened in the kingdom's politics back then, forcing Saran to retire, the Maris Kingdom might have unified the entire Minsk continent, so the people of the Maris Kingdom have always been very fond of the Orthodox Church. Hostility, if the Church of the Hill King is not deeply rooted in the Marris Kingdom, it may also be involved.

It is precisely because of the respect for the king-chosen Saran that when the Orthodox Church began to weaken in the past 20 or 30 years, more than one member of the Supreme Council proposed to revoke the status of the king-chosen Saran as a criminal and give him the title of "Mother of the Protector". Noble status, but this kind of proposal fails in the last link every time due to some external reasons.

But even so, every time such a proposal appears, the people at the bottom will spontaneously organize various rallies in support of the proposal, and such rallies usually spread to the entire Maris Kingdom, so you can witness that the people at the bottom of the Marris Kingdom Respect for King Chosen Saran.

Various legends are often spread among the people, saying that even after many years, the chosen king Seran is still alive, and will appear from time to time in some incidents where the rich and powerful bully ordinary people, and punish the rich and powerful by virtue of her identity The villain protected the ordinary people, which also made the king-chosen Saran even more equivalent to a god in the hearts of some people.

Compared with the public's skepticism about whether the king-chosen Saran is really still alive, the black market is very clear that the king-chosen Saran is still doing well, and his appearance has not changed in the past two hundred years, just like those people's wild imagination In that way, the king-chosen Saran has become a god-like existence.

It is also because of this that the black market has the highest level of specifications for the election of King Saran, and its status is similar to that of kings or prime ministers of various countries.

The king-chosen Saran, who has been unable to hide until now, actually stood on the side of the rebel army. If this is true, then the situation in the Kingdom of Marris will be completely changed.

Because with the spread of this news, the government army that now seems to have the upper hand may be in trouble. Even if the rebel army does not wait for the attack, the low-level army of the government army may have rebelled, and then cut down those government forces. The heads of the military dignitaries were offered as sacrifices to Saran the Chosen King.
