The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After Taussaint experienced a cold wave for about a month, the weather began to warm up gradually. Although the cold wave came suddenly, due to the various relief things led by the Knights of Light, the disaster appeared in Taussaint Casualties were very few, and only a few families died of poisoning from burning peat without ventilation.

Those who have been helped by the Knights of Light in this disaster will go to the Knights of Light to express their gratitude. At the same time, they have gradually become believers in the Church of the Fairy in the Lake, and spontaneously joined the project of building the Temple of the Fairy in the Lake Go inside, and the Temple of the Fairy in the Lake can be built in just over a month, and it has nothing to do with the abundance of human resources.

They also got to know Leo because of this, and knew that Leo turned out to be the partner of Sylvia, whom they called the saint, but they were a little puzzled about this matter.

In their eyes, Leo is a weirdo who wears a gorgeous armor all day long. He can live in a spacious place like the Knights of Light's resident, but he lives alone by Lake Seravi, which really makes people feel a little puzzled.

Some of Sylvia's admirers speculated that this might be because Leo and Sylvia had a fight. This guess can also be said to be the result that these Sylvia's admirers most hope to see, although they are also very clear that they and Sylvia It is absolutely impossible for Via to have any relationship, but it does not hinder their imagination. After all, as long as there are no other men around Sylvia, it means that everything is possible, and they still have hope.

However, the hopes of these admirers did not last long. Sylvia personally brought food to find Leo, helped him clean up the room, and went boating with him on the lake. The hearts of all the admirers were broken. You can go to the Temple of the Fairy in the Lake to find the clergy there for comfort.

In addition to the rumor about the breakdown of the relationship with Sylvia, it is more believed that Leo was injured in the swamp monster removal operation, and it was injured on the face and disfigured, so he needed to wear a belt all day long. Armor with a veiled helmet.

Originally, no one believed these rumors, but they spread too much. Even the people in the manor at that time had some doubts about it. After all, when Leo came out of the basement, he didn't seem to be in a good state. It's back to normal, but the reason why Leo moved to the lake now is because of his abnormality, and no one can be sure that his abnormal power will not cause him any harm.

For this reason, Geralt, Fringilla, Alto, Regal and others gathered again, found an excuse to visit Leo, and asked to see if there was something wrong with Leo. It made Leo a little dumbfounded, but in the end he agreed to their request.

Because the armor of the Abyss Walker absorbs the aura of crime, although Leo still has the aura of crime left on his body, it is much lighter. At least it will not easily make a person with excellent psychological quality feel inexplicable like before. Fear, Geralt and the others just felt a little uncomfortable standing next to Leo, no doubt this situation must be improving.

After repeatedly testing Leo's situation with various methods, and found that there was no problem, everyone was relieved. After all, if there is any problem with Leo, it is impossible for everyone present to fight against him according to his strength. If he contends, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Toussaint.

After the inspection was over, everyone left Leo's hut without making excuses to stay.

However, it didn't take long for Geralt to come back alone. He came to Leo's side, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Geralt, is there anything else you need?" Leo asked proactively.

Geralt thought for a while and said, "I have something I want to consult with you."

Leo asked: "Why are you looking for me? Aren't Regil and the others more suitable to help you answer questions?"

"Regil is indeed a suitable candidate, but I have discovered in the past two months that Regil has always quietly left Beran Manor and sneaked into Beauclair, without knowing what to do." Geralt hesitated, and said: "Although I believe Regill will not do anything harmful to me, but judging from his performance, he should also be busy with a very important matter, and it is inappropriate to bother him with my personal affairs."

Leo really wanted to ask Geralt at this time, is it appropriate for you to disturb me with personal matters, but he didn't say this in the end, because he knew very well that in the eyes of Geralt and the others, he was now Leisurely vacation by the lake.

Geralt added: "Although Cassirer and Milva can help me answer my questions, they have gotten too close to people from the Beauclair court in the past two months. I am worried that they are not too strict. They will slip up and cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Tell me!" From Geralt's explanation, Leo could see that he had already thought clearly about asking himself to answer the question, so he nodded and said.

"I..." Although Geralt thought it over and asked Leo a question, he didn't know how to say this question for a while. After a while, he said, "Do you think that Fringilla and Is my relationship real?"

Leo froze for a moment and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Geralt hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because I discovered something, I think that Fringilla may be approaching me for some purpose."

"What did you find out?" Leo asked again.

"A few days ago, I was going to talk to Dandelion about something, but halfway I found something I hadn't taken out, so I turned back and took it again, but outside the room, I found..." Geralt said here After a pause, he continued: "I found that Fringila was talking to someone in the room, because the door blocked the specific sound. I couldn't hear the specific sound very clearly, but I heard the person talking to Fringila mentioned that Let her delay looking for Ciri as long as possible, and I am the only one who will look for Ciri here, so I think they are talking about me."

"They? The person talking to Fringilla is a woman?" Leo asked confirmingly.

"Hmm! That woman's voice sounds familiar, but I don't remember who it is, but I'm sure I must have seen her before, and the other party should also be a sorceress." Geralt responded very firmly. , and then continued: "After the conversation in the room was over, I hid, and after Fringilla left, I went to that room. There was no one in that room, only some magic tools for performing the telescope."

Leo immediately became interested when he heard this, and immediately asked: "Is it the kind of telescope magic transformed through portal magic that can talk face-to-face with people thousands of miles away?"

The reason why Leo is interested in this magic is because from the information he has seen, he found that this magic is almost equivalent to the superconducting wave communication in the universe, even if it is far away, it can still appear in the form of a holographic image in front of the caster.

If this kind of magic can transform it into a magic array, and then find the communication rules in it, then a communication revolution that will spread to the whole world will also occur in the world of Velen.

It's a pity that Leo asked Alto and Fringilla, and they both said they didn't understand this spell, so the idea died before it matured. The usage of door spells made Leo feel a little angry.

"That's right, it's the spell." Geralt didn't feel Leo's slight anger at all, he nodded in response, and said, "You also know that this spell originated from the portal, and Fringilla spoke The sorceress should be outside Toussaint, and the telescope spell can connect and communicate with the outside, so that means the portal should also be able to send people outside." At this point, he paused again, as if he was finishing his speech , and then continued: "I didn't chase out to find Fringilla and question her, but went to find Dandelion according to the original plan, and after returning, I directly asked her if the portal can be used now Yes, but she told me that I still can't use it, she is lying!"

At the end, Geralt was very angry and punched the nearby tree hard. It seems that he has been holding back this problem for the past two days.

"Actually, you already have the answer in your heart." Leo looked at the somewhat annoyed Geralt, and said calmly.

Geralt was silent for a moment, the angry expression on his face gradually subsided, and he calmed down, and said: "I will go to inquire about the situation in the mountains around Toussaint in the next two days. If the snowstorm has stopped, then I will Get on the road now."

"Yeah!" Leo nodded and said, "Let me know when the time comes, and I'll go with you."

"Are you going with us?" Geralt was stunned for a moment and asked, "What will you do if you leave Sylvia?"

"Of course she also left together." Leo said calmly.

Geralt said with some incomprehension: "You just left like this. What about the Knights of Light and the Church of the Lagoon established by Sylvia?"

"The structure of the Knights of Light has been completed, and the system has been set, and Sylvia has brought the Duchess to the members of the Knights, indicating that after she leaves, the Knights will be the Duchess's exclusive Knights, so It doesn’t matter if there is Sylvia or not?” Leo replied briefly, and said, “As for Sylvia, at the Church of the Lady of the Lake, Sylvia has not been involved in the teaching affairs from the very beginning, she is only responsible for formulating church books, church rules, It’s just the selection of the first batch of priests, and the first batch of priests are all members of the Knights of Light, so there will be no problems.”

"It seems that you have already thought about it!" Geralt nodded after hearing this, and said, "However, I am looking for Ciri, not Vigfortz, so you..."

Leo interrupted Geralt and said, "It doesn't matter, the goal is the same."

Geralt remembered something at this moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, you have met Ciri and know what will happen."

After that, the two didn't say anything more. Geralt got up and left to go to the market area of ​​Bauclair, where you can find a lot of foreign caravans. The people that Center wants to connect with the outside world the most, and they are also the people who have the closest connection with the outside world.

After Geralt left, Leo also turned around and left the hut, went to the Knights of Light station, and told Sylvia the news that Geralt was about to leave.

Sylvia didn't say anything about it, and ordered her subordinates to come to the meeting, and distributed the power in her hand, and told everyone that she would leave soon, because she had already passed the gas before, and in the last half of the year Yue has also completed the work of handing over the power, and everyone did not have too many objections. According to the plan formulated before, it started in an orderly manner to reorganize the internal powers and affairs of the Knights of Light.

At this time, someone asked: "My lord, can you keep one of your weapons as a symbol of the Knights?"

Sylvia thought for a while and said, "I will keep both the armor and the weapons, but only the armor will be kept in the Knights' Order. I will put all the weapons in the Fairy Temple in the lake as holy objects."

Someone worried again: "You left your weapons and armor behind, so if you encounter a battle..."

"It doesn't matter, I have other weapons." Sylvia responded briefly, and then revealed the matter.

In the following two days, the reorganization of the Knights proceeded in an orderly manner, and everything went smoothly, at least when Sylvia was still sitting here, it was very stable. During the process of executing the reorganization order, Sylvia also keenly discovered that Some problems, and quickly find countermeasures to solve them.

For example, regarding the matter of members of the Knights Order taking care of the priests of the Church of the Fairy in the Lake, she felt that there might be problems after leaving, so she inserted a rule into the rules of the Knights Order and the church. This rule is very simple. part time.

Members of the Knights must withdraw from the Knights if they become priests of the Church of the Fairies of the Lake, and vice versa.

Although this rule will definitely be violated when it arrives, Sylvia will no longer be here by then, and she is not interested in knowing what happened.

At the same time, Geralt has already learned from some caravans that the snowstorm outside has stopped. Although it is still difficult to walk in the mountains, there is no problem if you walk by force.

So he is also preparing for leaving in an orderly manner with his companions, and also restarts to accept the entrusted tasks of the village. After all, he needs some money to spend on the way, and he doesn't want to ask for it from Fringilla, so he can only start again. Take missions to earn money.

But the problem is that Sylvia's Knights of Light have taken over most of the missions, and they have wiped out the surrounding area very cleanly. There are no more valuable missions to receive near Bauclair, so he has to go to a more Find valuable tasks in remote places.
