The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As for whether Sylvia is treating the current matter as a game or something, Leo is not too interested in intervening. Since everything has been planned, he doesn't need to ask more.

Afterwards, Sylvia and him started sorting out the various items needed to enter the underground ruins, until the officials of the Bauclair court arrived and informed Sylvia to go to the Bauclair Palace to receive the knighthood.

Leo and Sylvia didn't talk nonsense, and after instructing the people in the station to do something, they followed the officials all the way from the Cooper's Gate to the Beauclair Palace. After passing a flat slope and a series of gorgeous buildings, the two were led To a square outside the palace garden.

Both the official and Leo got off their horses, took off their helmets, handed their weapons to several knights next to them, and followed the official into the manor.

Those who took the weapons from Leo and Sylvia followed behind with their weapons in their hands, but it was obvious that Leo's abyssal sword made the knight who held it suffer a little, and they heard it after walking for a while. Breathe heavily.

At this moment, many nobles from Toussaint have gathered in the manor. They all heard the news that the Duchess was going to be canonized as the Knight of Light, and they came to watch the ceremony. When Sylvia and Leo walked into the garden, , all eyes fell on them.

There is no doubt that Sylvia is the focus of all eyes. The gorgeous shape of the dragon hunter armor, Sylvia's tall figure and glamorous appearance are enough to attract everyone's attention, and everyone recognizes it immediately She is the Knight of Light.

In addition to Sylvia herself, the three knights who followed Sylvia also attracted a lot of attention, but what everyone looked at was not the knight himself, but the three weapons held by the knight in their hands, which were received by the lake. The weapon blessed by the Chinese fairy is definitely a divine weapon, and how many people in the world have seen the divine weapon? If the Lake Fairy owns the church at this moment, these three weapons will definitely become the holy objects of the Lake Fairy Church and be worshiped by countless people.

Compared with Sylvia's high-profile attention, the eyes that fell on Leo's body were much less, and those eyes were more curious, doubtful, envious, jealous and vigilant.

Almost everyone who saw Leo thought why an ordinary-looking person like Leo was favored by a saint like Sylvia and became his partner. Compared with Leo himself, everyone was more willing to appreciate it. The Abyss Walker armor on Leo's body, after all, the armor is no less gorgeous than the Dragon Hunter armor.

However, among these people, there are also two people who are puzzled. These two people are the two nobles who went to be witnesses yesterday. Just looking at them made them have to lower their heads, not daring to look at them, but now Leo didn't have that invisible aura at all, as if he was a different person.

However, how did they know that after Leo integrated the crystal magic book into his body in the morning, the life suppression of the uncontrollable higher life form on his body began to gradually regain control, so that he can now restrain his form of higher life form, no longer affect others.

But even so, there are still people who can feel the danger of Leo. These people are almost all the nobles who came here for vacation from the Nilfgaard Empire. They are also soldiers, and they can feel the strong bloody smell on Leo. So they looked at Leo with vigilance.

A group of people soon came to the square platform of the garden, which was rebuilt from the remains of the elven kingdom. There are a lot of elf-style reliefs on the stone pillars around the square. In the middle of the square, the Duchess stood there, surrounded by pottery Center's core nobles, and on the other side there are several knights in armor. Judging from the decorations on their bodies, it can be seen that they should be the heads of the wandering knights in Toussaint.

For the heads of these wandering knights, they also hope that a new knight will appear, because that means that the cake that has been fixed will be divided again, which is something no one wants to see.

It's not that they didn't want to stop all this, but when they heard the number of bandits and monsters who died in the hands of Sylvia and Leo, they heard that many knights had gathered in Sylvia in just a few days After walking around, they didn't dare to do anything anymore, they could only watch silently as Sylvia obtained the honor, status and identity that they had worked hard for many years in such a short period of time.

If Sylvia didn't go to Lake Seravi, these people might still have a chance to stop this canonization ceremony, and they could encourage the nobles they supported to use Sylvia and Leo's unknown origin, and there is no law in the world. Lan this country and other reasons to prevent the canonization of the duchess.

But now Sylvia has not only completed the baptism of the knight's five virtues, but also received the blessing of the fairy of the lake. Opposing her to become a knight is to oppose the fairy of the lake and the entire basic code of knighthood. The entire knight class became hostile, and no noble with a little brain would do such a stupid thing. .

The leaders of these Wandering Knights regarded Sylvia as an enemy, but Sylvia and Leo treated these people like air, and didn't even have time to look at them.

When they came to the square, Leo and Sylvia's eyes fell on the Duchess Anna Henrietta, and they looked at the long-known Grand Duchess Toussaint who had just met.

At first glance, both Sylvia and Leo would feel that the other party is just a vase. Her long brown-red hair is combed into a high bun with a crown on it. Her beautiful face makes her look less With a bit of majesty, her gorgeous and sexy court costumes made her easily become the focus of everyone.

However, if the duchess' ability is judged only by her appearance, then those who underestimate her will eventually become the cornerstone of her throne, which has been proved more than once in the past.

When her husband was in power, the Grand Duchess was able to hold part of the power to fight against her husband in separate courts. Even if her husband discovered the affair, she was not punished in the end, and her husband could only take her lover Dandelion vented his anger and said some cruel things that were impossible to achieve.

But after her husband died, after she became the ruler of Toussaint, she was able to quickly gather power, control the whole country, maintain a close relationship with the Nilfgaard Empire, and obtain privileges that other vassal states did not have. It can be seen that her political skills are extremely clever, at least much better than those female sorceresses who are keen on power in the northern countries.

After arriving at the square, Leo did not enter the square, but stopped at the edge of the square, letting Sylvia walk in front of the duchess alone.

While the attendant next to her was preparing the items needed for the ceremony, the Duchess took Sylvia very kindly and chatted with her. Since it was a public place, the content of the conversation was not too deep, and it was mostly happy Sylvia's arrival, words such as expressing gratitude for what Sylvia has done, don't have much substantive content.

Afterwards, the ceremony began. The Duchess said some ritual words, and then asked a few questions that must be asked in the ceremony, such as whether to follow the five virtues of knights for life, and then took the long sword from the attendant, respectively. Via nodded her shoulders, and then canonized Sylvia as a knight of Toussaint.

After the duchess' canonization was announced, everyone present was stunned. They never thought that the duchess's canonization was actually the knight of Toussaint.

Although the canonization of knights and the canonization of Toussaint knights are only the difference of a place name, but the connotation is very different.

The canonization of a knight is just to provide a person with a knight certificate, but the canonization of the Toussaint knight is equivalent to giving a title, but it is still named after the principality of Toussaint, that is to say, at the moment of obtaining the knight certificate , Sylvia also won the title of the Duke of Toussaint, even the lowest knight title, which is unbelievable for anyone present.

Although it is just a lowly title, it is a lifetime goal for some people. As a foreigner, Sylvia has only been in Toussaint for about a month, and she has a noble title, which makes those Those who were still struggling, especially the leaders of the Wandering Knights, were instantly filled with jealousy and resentment, thinking that Sylvia had taken away the title that should have belonged to them, and the eyes they looked at Sylvia were also full of hatred. With no resentment, it seems that they should do something in the future.

The changes in the attitudes of the people around were also noticed by Leo and Sylvia, but they didn't care about all of this. Instead, they looked at the kind-hearted duchess rather meaningfully.

There is almost no need to think about it. Both of them are very clear that all this must have been done by the duchess on purpose. As for why, it is not difficult to guess. I am afraid that the power of those wandering knights is already too great, threatening the status of the duchess. Well, she is borrowing Sylvia's hand to clean up those disobedient wandering knights.

Leo and Sylvia are not disgusted with this, as both sides take what they need. If Sylvia forms a church of the Knights and the Lady of the Lake, it will not be enough just to wipe out the bandits and clean up the monsters , needs some substantive and shocking achievements, and Toussaint is not Nilfgaard, and there are not many disputes with the outside world. Since there are no disputes with the outside world, it is inevitable to start from the inside.

In fact, even if the Duchess does not confer Sylvia as a Knight of Toussaint, Sylvia will definitely attack several other wandering knights. At least two wandering knights must be cleared before they can accumulate enough prestige , When building a church, you will encounter the least resistance. This point was also mentioned by Sylvia to Leo before, and it is part of her plan.

Now that Sylvia has won the title of Toussaint Knight, coupled with the acquiescence of the Duchess, what she has to do will become smoother. Now what she needs to consider is how to reduce casualties to At the very least, how to get the most support from the Duchess, how to prevent myself from becoming an abandoned child after the fact, and so on.

After the canonization ceremony was over, the people in the garden dispersed one after another, and the Duchess led Sylvia to a small villa in the garden. It seemed that she had something to discuss with Sylvia, and Fu Lyndella Vigo and several right-hand assistants of the Duchess.

Leo didn't go there, but walked around the garden casually and ate some food.

At this time, a person came to Leo's side and said, "Mr. Leo, hello!"

Leo turned around and looked at this person, or should not be said to be a person, it should be more appropriate to call him a vampire.

I saw this blood race with black hair, a thin face, and a handsome appearance. His long black suit formed a sharp contrast with the gorgeously dressed nobles around him.

However, compared to the appearance of this vampire, Leo cares more about the strength of the other party. From the information sensed by the spiritual network, it is not difficult to judge that the strength of this vampire is stronger than that of Regal. As for how strong it is, it is impossible to judge, because The other party's power does not come from energy, but from blood, but Leo judged based on his current understanding of blood power, the blood race in front of him should have evolved a level higher than Regil.

"Hello!" Leo nodded while investigating the other party's situation, and responded, "Excuse me, is your Excellency..."

"Dilaf van der Arretin, Regal's friend." The blood said calmly.

Leo asked again: "What is your Excellency looking for me for?"

Dilaff said in a deep voice: "I hope that when you explore the underground ruins of the elf kingdom, you will not harm the children living there. They just don't want to come into contact with people, and they haven't done anything harmful to people."

Obviously, the children mentioned by Dilaf should be those blood races that live underground and are completely mutated.

Leo didn't think much about it, and said casually: "I can promise not to take the initiative to hurt them, but the premise is that they don't come to provoke me."

The expression on Dilaff's face was slightly gloomy, and he frowned. It was obvious that Leo's answer was not what he wanted.

However, he didn't force anything, he saluted Leo, then turned and left.

"It seems that those mutated blood races are not uncontrolled." Leo looked at the back of Dilaf leaving, and felt faintly in his heart that this Dilaf might become a big disaster in the future.

The reason why Leo made such a judgment is because Dilaf's own strength and those mutant blood races he controls are like an unstable bomb. At this time, Dilaf may still be able to maintain a close attitude towards ordinary people. For some unknown reason, he was completely enraged, and even hated humans, then the entire Bauclair might become the banquet hall for these blood races.
