The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the method provided by Baron Leonard, the liaison officer of the Nilfgaardian Empire, is very simple, it is absolutely effective. It is absolutely impossible for Fringilla Vigo to violate the order of the Nilfgaardian Empire.

For a moment, everyone had smiles on their faces, feeling that the Knight of Light would be dealt with in a short time.

Earl Britta also stood up as the host, raised the wine glass in his hand, and prepared to congratulate the impending victory of their temporarily formed Alliance of Reflective Knights.

Everyone else stood up and held their glasses high.

At this moment, the bell from the distant clock tower rang, and Earl Britta's whole body burst instantly like a punctured bubble, and countless flesh and blood splashed behind him, forming a ten-meter-long stretch of flesh and blood. And the only thing left of him was the half of his body below the table still standing there.

Everything happened so suddenly in front of them, everyone froze in place, did not react for a long time, until a woman let out a scream of horror, everyone realized what happened, went crazy and died in hiding He looked around in horror, hoping to find something, but after hearing the screams, the knights and attendants who were guarding outside also rushed in, and they were stunned when they saw the flesh and blood all over the ground and half of their bodies. , and then looked for Count Britta among the crowd.

When the knights of Earl Britta heard that the dead man was their master, they were all stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.

After the panic, the nobles seemed to realize something, and they expressed that they wanted to leave here. Regardless of the knights' obstruction, they lowered their heads one by one and walked out of the earl's villa one after another. They didn't dare to really stop these nobles, and at this time, some servants went down to look for the magistrate under the orders of the steward.

The great nobleman who was still competing with Earl Britta for the leader of the Knights of Reflection Alliance had been frightened out of his wits at this moment, and his body was still trembling even when he was sitting in the carriage.

At this time, a nobleman sitting next to him who had a good relationship with him said in a deep voice, "Did you think it was..."

"Shut up!" The nobleman suddenly turned his head and stared at the nobleman viciously, and said, "Shut up, we don't know anything, we just attended a banquet, do you understand? We don't have any alliance of knights who reflect light." , nothing, you know?"

"I know, I know!" the noble nodded in agreement.

At the same time, there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as this great nobleman, and these people are destined to have a hard time tonight.

When these nobles fled the Earl of Britta's villa in a panic, and the Earl of Britta's house was in a mess, on the hillside in the city of Beauclair, three or four kilometers away from the Earl of Britta's house, a towering bell tower stood There, the big clock at the top of the clock tower ended its last chime not long ago, telling the residents of Bauclair City the current time, and on the roof of the clock tower, Leo in armor stood on it, watching calmly The direction of Count Britta's villa, holding the king in his hand.

Killing Count Britta is as easy as killing a bug for Leo, but what he needs is not just the death of Count Britta, but also the need for Count Britta to calm down some guys a bit after the death of Britta, at least Pause for a while before he and Sylvia leave.

And Earl Britta's move to hold a banquet in his villa just created the best opportunity for Leo, so at the moment when the bell of the bell tower under his feet was rung, Leo used the king's one to cover up the sound of the bell. The gun took out Count Britta.

In order to achieve the best effect, Leo also specially controlled the range of the explosive bullet, only shattering Earl Britta's upper body and not affecting others.

Afterwards, Leo stood on the tower like this, watching the people in the manor hide in fear, and then saw them leave Count Britta's villa like a rat.

Although he didn't know how much effect the death of Earl Britta would bring, he could be sure that at least until he and Sylvia left, these people would not jump out and cause trouble again.

After returning to the station, Leo briefly talked about the situation of Count Britta, and Sylvia just nodded.

The next day, what happened in Earl Britta's villa quickly spread in the city of Bauclair. Everyone knew that the upper body of Earl Britta had turned into pieces of flesh and blood, although there was no clear explanation. However, almost everyone who heard the news believed that this was something that only spells could do, and in the entire Bauclair, the only person who could practice with such a powerful spell was Fringilla Vigo.

All of a sudden, various rumors appeared frequently in the market, all of which, without exception, indicated that Fringilla and Earl Britta had old grievances.

It's just that the rumor didn't spread for long before it was broken, because when Earl Britta died, Fringilla Vigo was staying with the Duchess at the Beauclair Palace, and there were several court loyalists with her , to discuss the second round of negotiations with Belhaven to redeem some of the civilians in Belhaven's territory.

After the rumors about Fringilla stopped, a new rumor came out soon, but this rumor was not as widely spread as the previous rumor about Fringilla, and even this rumor caused a lot of attention. The people's plan.

In this rumor, the protagonist has become Sylvia, the Knight of Light, and it also involves an alliance of Knights of Reflection. The Earl of Britta is one of the leaders of the alliance. The Knight of Light seized all kinds of rights from the Knight of Light, and now this alliance is disintegrating step by step the allies of the Knight of Light around the Duchess. Therefore, the Knight of Light made an advance move and killed one of the leaders of the alliance. Count Britta.

After the rumor about Sylvia spread, everyone was stunned and then angry. They were not angry because they thought the rumor was false, but that the nobles dared to form an alliance to deal with it. The Knight of Light they called the Holy Maiden, for a moment the death of Count Britta became a deserved thing.

With the spread of this rumor, someone has proposed to the Duchess to investigate the organization of the Reflecting Knights Alliance, and the Duchess also agreed to the investigation, and said that the investigation work was handed over to the Duke's Guard.

"Why do you spread this as a rumor?" After hearing all kinds of rumors from Bauclair City, Leo couldn't help but turned to Sylvia who was processing some documents and asked.

"It's very simple, only in this way can I truly stay out of it." Sylvia smiled and said: "They never thought that such rumors would be spread by me, and they would only think that they were spread by people inside them. In a short period of time, they have to deal with the investigation of the duchess and examine the people inside, so that they don't have extra time to think about other things. Although what you did yesterday is enough to calm them down for a while, there may be some People get crazy and do stupid things, so give them something to do."

Leo frowned and asked, "How do you know that the Duchess will investigate the Light Knight Alliance? This incident seems to be good for her, right? Let you fight this alliance, and then she can become the last beneficiary."

"Leo, promise me that you must never go into politics." Sylvia looked at Leo, shook her head helplessly, and said, "I'm about to leave Toussaint, how long can I fight those people? , after I leave, do you think those people will disperse? They will definitely continue to maintain this alliance, and who will they target at this time. Don't look at this Duchess as a vase, she can make Tao Sente still maintains autonomy in front of the Nilfgaardian Empire, and holds most of Toussaint's power. Her political acumen is not as simple as her appearance. I think she should disintegrate that alliance before I leave. "

In the next two days, there was no news about whether the Duchess found the member of the Knights of Light Alliance, but Dandelion's punishment has already come out. I don't know if it's because the Duchess missed her old love or because of Flynn. Gila said good things. In short, Dandelion's death sentence has been cancelled, but he is no longer allowed to stay in Toussaint, and must be escorted out of Toussaint by the Duke's Guard in a few days, and he will be permanently expelled from the scene.

Regarding this result, Geralt had nothing to say, and thought it was the best result, and decided to leave Toussaint, but a sudden news made him have to give up escorting Dandelion to leave together, and It was decided to set off immediately and head south to Abbin.

This news was overheard by Geralt after receiving a mission. At that time, he accepted a mission to clear the castle of monsters. After completing the mission, he wanted to explore the castle for some reason. I couldn't find anything useful from inside, so I strayed into an underground secret room of the old castle, and found some magic devices in the secret room, and learned from the magic devices that this place is actually a secret stronghold of Vigfortez, And also know the location of another secret stronghold of Vigfortez.

After confirming the location of a secret stronghold of Vigfortz, although Geralt is not sure whether Ciri was captured by Vigfortz, he is still unwilling to stay in Toussaint any longer and decides to Set off on the same day, leave Toussaint, and go to that stronghold to check.

After being notified by Geralt, Leo and Sylvia were naturally traveling together. Fortunately, they had already prepared. Sylvia also said that her dragon hunter armor and weapons were handed over to the Knights and Sylvia respectively. Church, what he is wearing now is another set of knight armor newly created by Leo, which is also the only set of armor among the four knights.

Among the armors of the four knights, because Wang Renji Yalan is the only one who focuses on assassination, she needs to be silent and sensitive, so her armor is mainly made of leather, and her defense is naturally not comparable to other armors.

However, Leo did not completely make the King Blade armor, because he could use a lot more materials than when making the Dragon Hunter armor, so there were many more attempts to modify the armor. After more than a dozen modifications Finally, the king's blade armor was finally transformed into a set of armor made of metal and petrified lizard skin. Its defense was not much weaker than metal armor, and it was more sensitive.

Although she has changed her armor, she has not completely changed into the weapon of King Blade Knight. She uses the two short blades of gold and dark silver made by Leo as melee weapons, and at the same time, she still asks Leo to make another one. Dragon hunting spear.

Geralt's team all came to meet at the Knights of Light's residence, and Fringilla also came here, but she and Geralt didn't have any private conversations, just had a few words with Sylvia.

Afterwards, Sylvia brought out the best war horses of the Knights, one for each person, so that everyone could reach their destination as soon as possible.

Because the decision to leave was very sudden, no one in the Knights was stationed there, and ordinary people in Towson were even less clear about it. This made Sylvia leave quietly, while the others were in Towson. During this period of time, Te was also very happy. Many people even decided to come to live in Towson when they get old, so everyone was quite sad when they left.

However, the sadness didn't last long, and everyone focused on the road.

The Duchy of Toussaint is surrounded by mountains. This special terrain also allows the Duchy of Toussaint to be like spring all year round. This is why the elves will build their kingdom here. Able to rely on the few roads and connections outside.

In addition, there is another waterway, the Yelena River, which can pass directly through the mountains and reach the outside world of Medina, which is the largest joining country of the Nilfgaard Empire.

However, due to the cold wave, the Yelena River, which has been flowing all year round, has started to freeze, making this route impassable. Although the ice on the river has begun to melt and crack as the temperature warms up, the route still cannot be opened. Because walking on such a river, those crushed ice can easily cut a big hole in the bottom of the boat.

Although he couldn't leave by boat, Geralt still wanted to take advantage of the river. He thought it would be easier to go all the way south along the river with a clear direction than walking through the snow-capped mountains and forests. Walk some.

Therefore, the group traveled southward along the banks of the Yelena River. Although they encountered some mountain stream-shaped rivers without banks in the process and needed to take a long detour, everything went smoothly in the end without any surprises or dangers.

During this journey, Sylvia also established a good relationship with Mirva and Angulan, taught them some fighting skills, and asked Leodo to take a few bottles of healing potions for their self-defense.

Five days after they left Toussaint, they finally emerged from the mountains around Toussaint to a small fishing town called Verona on the upper Elena River.
