The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It has been more than two months since the monster clearing incident occurred in Sansledo Swamp. At the beginning, people were skeptical about the news, but then some bold people went to the swamp to investigate and found that it was indeed as reported by Bauclan Palace. The monsters in Sansledo Swamp all disappeared.

For a time, the entire Toussaint was a sensation, not only the people, but even the aristocratic circles also paid attention to the Sansredor Swamp.

The reason why they pay so much attention to the swamp is actually because of interests.

The Sansledo Swamp is the largest swamp in Toussaint. It contains a large amount of peat, herbs, and rare animals. However, because a large number of monsters live here, the commercial value of this area has not been developed.

But now that all the monsters in the swamp have been cleared, it means that the danger here has disappeared, and the rich resources here can also be used.

All of a sudden, the nobles and wealthy businessmen of Bauclair sent people to the swamp to investigate the location of various resources, and also borrowed various influences to test the development of the swamp with the Duchess.

Compared with the powerful and powerful people in Toussaint who are all focused on the big cake of the Sansledo Swamp, the ordinary folks don't seem to know what changes will happen to their lives after the swamp monsters are cleaned up. I am more interested in the heroic stories about Sylvia and about the Knights of Light.

Because of the deliberate promotion of the Duchess, most of the credit for eliminating the swamp monsters was assigned to Sylvia, and the knights led by Sylvia achieved an overwhelming victory in the war with Belhaven. Victory, which immediately made Sylvia's reputation greatly improved again, and her hidden status in Toussaint has already left the nobles in Toussaint far away. Some people have already called her a saint, and even Someone proposed to the Duchess to confer the title of Sylvia.

Although Sylvia has gained a great reputation among the people of Toussaint and is loved by the people, her reputation in the aristocratic circle is not very high.

Because Sylvia, a foreigner, has risen too fast in Toussaint, she has become an important force in Toussaint in less than two months, and has obtained the dream of ordinary people among the people. Love, which makes them feel incredibly jealous.

More importantly, Sylvia completely ignored the various privileges of the nobles. When she led the Knights to patrol the border, she stood on the side of the weak several times in the disputes between the nobles and the common people, and severely punished the nobles. There are descendants of several great nobles, and recently there are even rumors that she is rediscovering some previous cases of civilian deaths, in which some nobles played very disgraceful roles.

All kinds of circumstances made the vast majority of the nobles in Taussaint extremely jealous of Sylvia, thinking that if Sylvia continued like this, they would be ruined, so they secretly used various means to slander Sylvia in front of the Duchess. Sylvia said that the Knights formed by Sylvia and her reputation among the people had begun to endanger the status of the Duchess, so as to provoke the Duchess's dissatisfaction with Sylvia.

However, what they couldn't understand was that the Duchess didn't seem to take these provocative words to heart, and after dealing with daily official duties every day, she got tired of spending time with her poet lover.

Therefore, they suspect that all this is caused by the poet named Dandelion. The poet is a good friend with the demon hunter, nicknamed the butcher of Bravikan, and the relationship between the demon hunter and Sylvia is good. It must have seemed to them that Dandelion was blowing pillows in the Duchess' ear, blowing away some of the rumors they'd worked so hard to create.

So they felt that if they wanted to deal with Sylvia, they had to get rid of Dandelion first, so without Dandelion knowing anything, he was assigned to the side of Sylvia's party by the nobles, and became the first target to be dealt with.

Although Sylvia didn't know that Dandelion was implicated by her, she knew that the nobles in Toussaint were consciously targeting her. In keeping with the development momentum of the Knights of Light, she also deliberately gave up tasks such as guarding the caravan to several other wandering knights, secretly supporting the wandering knights to fight against her.

It's just that these nobles didn't know that their methods might still have some effect if they were used before the Battle of Belhaven. Sylvia's heroic appearance on the battlefield, the heads of several wandering knights could no longer have other ideas. Soon after returning to Toussaint, they all secretly joined the Church of the Fairy in the Lake and became members of the church. .

Therefore, when these nobles sent a large amount of supplies to the residence of the Wandering Knights in the previous step, these supplies were turned around and sold by the Wandering Knights to the Knights of Light at the original price.

Although the caravan escort missions of nobles and big merchants are the main income of the Knights of Light, the loss of this income will cause a big financial loophole for the Knights of Light, but this financial loophole has not affected the Knights of Light in a short period of time. The Knights of Light had no impact, because after the first battle in Belhaven, the Knights of Light seized a lot of property, the Duchess's reward and the dividends paid by Belhaven, even if the Knights of Light did not have this escort mission The income can easily last for a year or so.

Moreover, Sylvia did not let this financial loophole continue to exist because she would leave soon. She not only established an exclusive caravan for the Knights, but also used other people's resources before they decided to attack the swamp. I asked Leo to use the spirit net to explore the location of several peat deposits, and bought them as the private property of the Knights, and also recruited a lot of pharmacists, as the exclusive pharmacists of the Knights, responsible for the pharmacists in the swamp. Collect and grow herbs.

With these properties, even if she leaves, as long as her successor is not an idiot, the Knights will not be messed up.

In order to avoid some careerists in the Knights after she left, Sylvia not only established a round table meeting system in the Knights, but also informed the knights in advance of her decision to leave in the near future, and after that, Secretly bringing the Duchess to the Knights to participate in the Knights' meeting, it can be regarded as officially telling the Middle Knights that the Knights of Light will become the Knights directly under the Duchess after she leaves.

Everyone in the knight order was naturally reluctant to say that Sylvia would leave, but they were also happy to be able to become the knight order directly under the duchess, because this represented that they had truly broken away from the seemingly vagrant knight. The embarrassing state of beauty and hardship, from a certain point of view, every official knight of them can be regarded as a knight, and can be regarded as a member of the nobility, even the lowest level of nobility.

Also because of the secret appearance of the duchess, the abnormal fluctuations in the Knights due to some rumors made by the nobles quickly calmed down.

Compared to Sylvia who was radiant and eye-catching in Toussaint, Leo as a partner is much more low-key, except for Sylvia surveying the peat mines in the swamp and recruiting Alto to become a knight Except for these two things, he spent the rest of his time in the hut that Sylvia built for him on the edge of Lake Seravi, and when he was free, he would row a boat and fish in the lake. More like a hermit.

However, this so-called hermit's view is just the view before they have no close contact with Leo. Once they stand in front of Leo, then Leo will become a fierce beast that can bite people at any time in their eyes, let alone After speaking, even if you can keep your body standing, it may be very difficult.

After getting the Abyss of Sin from the mouth of the devil, Leo originally thought that he only needed to focus on controlling his body, but what he didn't expect was that the knowledge of Abyss of Sin that he had sealed deep in his memory would not He didn't cut off the connection with Sin Yuan because of this, Leo's body still produces a power of sin karma every day.

Although this power of crime karma did not cause any harm to Leo, instead it was sent to the fire of crime karma by Leo as fuel to cultivate the fire of crime karma, but the residual breath of the power of crime karma still remained His body was integrated with the power of his blood, producing an invisible force that could penetrate people's hearts.

Under the effect of this force, even Sylvia couldn't help trembling when she saw him, and the others were even more unbearable. Some knight servants of the Knights even had a strong feeling after seeing him. Frightened, his feet went limp and he sat down on the ground.

Because of this, Leo had to leave the Knights of Light's residence and came to the relatively sparsely populated Lake Seravi, living alone, and began to strengthen the development and control of his body's potential. He knew very well that as long as he completely controlled his body body, then the breath of sin fused into the power of blood can also be completely controlled.

In the past two months, although his development and control of his body's potential has accelerated a lot, he has even been able to control the power of his blood to spread out of his body to form a power similar to psionic power, and he can even form substantial physical power, such as Attached to the surface of the body to form a blood armor, directly condensed into a blood knight sword and so on.

The most special thing is that this kind of blood power can also produce effects similar to enchantment. For example, if he wraps the power of blood around the abyss sword, then the abyss sword will change from two ordinary swords into two psionic swords. Fog, if the power of blood wrapped around his weapon is combined according to rune traps, crystal magic, or Turing radicals, etc., then these two weapons can also exert similar corresponding runes, magic, or witches. The power of art.

Although he has made great progress in the potential development and control of his body, the restraint of that sinful aura has not weakened in any way, and as the accumulated amount began to increase, that aura also began to escape from the body. It directly led to the lakeside forest where he lived not only without birds and beasts, but also without reptiles.

With the establishment of the Church of the Fairy of the Lake in Toussaint, a church of the Fairy of the Lake has also begun to be built by the lake. The location of the church is not very far from the cottage where Leo lives. Believers of the Church of the Fairy in the Lake came to play by the lake after praying in the church.

The sinful aura on Leo's body is already very strong. Even well-trained knights will be affected, let alone ordinary people. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Leo usually puts his abyss The walker armor is worn on the body.

However, after putting on the Abyss Walker armor, Leo felt something abnormal, and he found that the sinful breath emanating from his body was being absorbed by the Abyss Walker armor.

At this time, he thought that the armor of his abyss walker was forged from a complete copy of the armor worn by the abyss walker of Anor Londe, and even every pattern and pattern on it was completely reproduced on the armor.

Although the materials are not as good as those prepared by the gods of Anor Londo for their knights, but because of the addition of a large amount of psionic substances, the materials of this armor are not much worse than the original materials.

There is no doubt that Leo's armor can also be regarded as the armor of the abyss walker, and it is the armor passed down by the knight when he obtained the title of abyss walker after returning from the abyss.

Judging from the fact that the breath of sin can be absorbed by the replica of the abyss walker's armor, it is clear that when the abyss walker returned from the abyss, not only himself, but even his armor was affected by the power of the abyss, so that Even the replica can have the effect of absorbing some power of the abyss. The sinful abyss is also a part of the abyss, and the power of sinful karma produced by the sinful abyss can naturally be absorbed by this armor as well.

Because of the blocking effect of this armor, Leo temporarily got rid of the side effects of the power of sin. Even if he appears in front of people, the people who see him will not be affected. The only trouble is that he must wear the abyss to walk. the armor of the dead until he is fully able to control the power of blood.

Because of the discovery of the armor, Leo began to wonder whether the two abyssal swords made with the armor could also absorb the breath of sin.

However, he was soon disappointed to find that the abyssal sword does not have the same effect as armor, but what is interesting is that when he uses the power of blood to enchant the abyssal sword, he can intentionally retain some of the power in the abyssal sword.

He didn't know what effect this would have on the Abyss Greatsword, but after the Abyss Great Sword had accumulated a certain amount of blood power, some bloodshot patterns appeared on its surface, and when he used the Abyss Great Sword It also became easier and more comfortable, as if the two abyss swords were an extension of his body.
