The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What an arrogant woman!" When the airship flew over Dai Lisa, Sylvia ignored the cold wind outside and stood on the deck looking at the ice and snow temple and the giant ice and snow building in front of the ice and snow altar. The statue of the goddess couldn't help but sneered, but there was also a trace of envy and jealousy in the sarcasm.

Tessa Moka, who always liked to confront Sylvia, also nodded in agreement.

I saw that this huge statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess was completely carved in the image of Lia Venistan. The material used was a part of the rock of the mountain. The whole statue was more than 200 meters high. Its people will involuntarily be in awe.

In addition, two braziers were held in the hands of the colossus. In the braziers was a ball of ice flames fueled by ice crystals. This was a magical flame unique to Deliyat. The flames could burn without any heat, and any Anyone who touches it will be burnt to ashes in an instant, and this kind of icy flame is dim during the day, but it can shine brightly at night, and can be seen tens of kilometers away.

For Sylvia and Tessa Moka, such a huge statue that can show their majesty is their dream, but it is a pity that even if they have the financial resources to build such a huge statue, there is no place for them to build it, you know When Lia Venistan built this statue, she was also opposed by her citizens, who thought her move was too arrogant.

Compared to the jealousy and envy of the two women, Leo said calmly, "She has the right to be so arrogant," and turned to the displeased Sylvia and said, " If you can get to where she is now, you also have the right to be so arrogant."

Leo is different from the two women. After they came to Dai Lisa, all they saw was the extremely eye-catching statue, but what Leo saw in his eyes was a high-level life that had entered the level of a seventh-level psyker. Body, if divided according to the level of life in this world, the other party is already considered a demigod, even the lowest level of demigod.

Knowing in Moonlight City that Kerry Fao, the Minister of Ice and Snow, actually bought the remains of the gods for the Ice Queen, this incident has already made Leo suspect that the Ice Queen has begun to step on the road of God, to a higher level of life form.

But now, he saw the energy fluctuations emanating from the palace through his spiritual vision, and he could almost be sure that the Snow Queen had really evolved into a high-level life form.

In addition, Sylvia didn't know that the reason why the Ice Queen built this statue against all opinions was not because she was arrogant enough to show her majesty to everyone, but to make this statue an energy clone of her. Receive the uncontrollable surge of energy in her body, and at the same time bear the spiritual shock that believers will encounter when they believe in it for her.

Leo has read many notes of the tower wizard, and he has seen from those notes that the tower wizard is also looking for a way to evolve into a higher life form. However, due to the limitations of their power, they seem to have found the same path in the end, which is to become a god. This is the only path that the extraordinary life forms in the entire Velen world can choose. Wizards are walking, witches are walking, true gods As they are walking, the evil gods are also walking.

And walking this path, without exception, requires believers' beliefs when they reach a certain level, but these beliefs will also erode the spirit and body of those who are trying to become gods like poison, and some existences cannot withstand this erosion. If you degenerate into an evil god, even if you can still reach a higher life form in the future, you will only become a mad god.

Although the Ice Queen has not reached that step yet, she seems to have begun to look for a solution, and this giant statue is the solution she thought of.

Although I don't know if this method will be effective in the end, but now Leo observes through the real eye in the spirit vision, and can find that there should still be an effect.

The spiritual energy generated by those beliefs was concentrated in the statue, and most of the messy spiritual energy was stripped off through the mysterious patterns containing purification power inside and on the surface of the statue, and then sent to the icy flame of the brazier in his hand to burn.

Being able to burn spiritual energy, I think this is another unknown miraculous effect of Dailiat Ice Flame!

At this moment, under Sylvia's command, the airship slowly flew over the head of the Ice Goddess Colossus. It seemed that she did it on purpose.

Leo suddenly saw a pair of glasses emerging from the top of the giant statue, and looked towards the airship, and at the same time, an invisible pressure fell on the airship.

Ordinary staff on the airship didn't have any special perception and were unaware of this pressure, but Sylvia and Tessa Moka felt sensitively as if they were caught in the rocks and could not move.

Although Leo also felt a pressure, this kind of pressure is not as good as the mysterious existence like the Stone Throne, even compared with the high-level life forms like the Corpse Collector who are also wandering in the realm of demigods. Quite a lot, so he just froze for a moment before returning to normal.

He also saw the plight of Sylvia and Tessa Mocha, so he stepped forward, helped them up, and then called out the power of the gods' imprints in his body, forming a chaotic field of divine power , thus affecting the life coercion deliberately created by the Ice Queen.

"Huh!" Almost at the same time that the coercion disappeared, Leo, Sylvia, and Tessa Moka all heard a soft cry of surprise in their ears.

"What a stingy woman, she just flew over the statue, and suddenly shot at us. The rumors are indeed true, she is indeed an unreasonable ice woman." Sylvia regained her senses and couldn't help muttering He said a word, looked at Leo beside him, and then walked to the other side without any trace, squeezing Tessa Mocha away from his arm.

Tessa Mocha didn't pay attention to Sylvia's small movements. Looking at the Ice and Snow Temple in front of her, she couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect her to have reached this point." Then she looked at Sylvia and said: " Xini, you should know what attitude we should have when facing the forerunner. No matter how much you don't like her, you must show due respect when you see her, otherwise she will punish you, witch The rest of the regiment won't stand up for you."

"I know what to do, you should be careful about your own attitude!" Although Sylvia accepted Tessa Mocha's reminder, she still replied stiffly, followed her and turned to Leo and asked : "Have you also entered that level?"

Leo knew what she meant, shook his head, and said, "No. It's still a bit worse." Then, as if referring to what Tessa Moka said just now, he said, "You don't have to pay too much attention, she just went first It's just one step, at this stage, she won't be much better than me, at least if something happens, it won't be a big problem if we want to leave here."

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia smiled and didn't say anything, but the worry on her face had dissipated a lot, obviously she was extremely confident in Leo's strength.

At this time, the airship had already flown over the Ice and Snow Temple, and found a suitable docking place, which was the Rainbow Bridge connecting the Ice and Snow Temple and the palace.

When building the Ice and Snow Temple, the Snow Queen also rebuilt the palace built in the mountain, blocking all the exits in the palace, and only the Rainbow Bridge can lead to the outside, which is also guaranteed to a certain extent. Security inside the palace.

Because the stone materials used to build the Rainbow Bridge are very special, and there are a lot of crystals inside, so that when the sun shines on the bridge body, it will make the bridge body emit rainbow-like brilliant light. Over time, the original name of the bridge has been forgotten. , everyone just remembers that this bridge is called Rainbow Bridge.

The place where the airship chose to dock was on the Rainbow Bridge Square at one end of the Ice and Snow Temple. This square is very large and should be specially built for some ceremonies.

When the airship landed, the surrounding area of ​​the square was blocked by soldiers, and the Minister of the Palace, Earl Kerry Fao, had also come to the edge of the square. Surrounded by some court officials, he walked under the airship and pointed to What the officials said.

The door of the airship opened, and the inclined ladder was lowered, and Leo and others walked down from the airship.

At this time, Sylvia seemed to have heard what Earl Kerry Fao was talking with the officials, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Kerry, don't rush to let your people study this airship. , if there is no agreement, I will not sell this airship to you."

Hearing Sylvia's slightly hostile words, Earl Kerry Fao was not angry, but still smiled and said: "Miss Sylvia, please rest assured, the jar you want has been prepared for you , In addition, if you handle the matter over there well, we will pay an extra amount of remuneration, please believe me, that remuneration will definitely satisfy you." Then, he looked at Tessa Mocha again, Said: "Is Miss Tessa also with Mr. Leo?"

"Together, of course." Tessa Moka replied vaguely, then looked at Sylvia, as if worried that Sylvia would refute.

However, Sylvia seemed to have heard nothing, and was talking to the airship staff about something like their arrangements after the airship was sold.

Seeing this situation, she also breathed a sigh of relief, because if Sylvia denied that they were together at this time, then things would be really embarrassing, and she might be sent out directly.

Leo on the side looked at Sylvia and smiled on his face. Although the relationship between Sylvia and Tessa Mocha seems to be very bad these days, as long as the conversation is bound to be a verbal exchange between you and me, After seeing the staff in the airship, they all felt that Sylvia would throw the other party off the airship at any time, but in fact Sylvia seemed to have gradually forgiven what happened back then after a few days of getting along. Even last night, Leo was asking if he should forgive Tessa Mocha.

Now Sylvia deliberately pretended not to hear what Tessa Mocha said, acquiescing to Tessa Mocha's words, which means that she no longer regards the other party as an enemy, but she does not regard him as a friend either. There are some grudges.

At this time, Earl Kerry Fao was about to say something when an inner court guard suddenly ran over from the other end of the Rainbow Bridge, walked up to him, and handed him a note.

He took the note suspiciously, opened it, looked at it, frowned slightly, then returned to normal, folded the note, and put it in a special cylinder around his waist.

Afterwards, he walked up to the three of them and said, "Your schedule may need to be rescheduled."

"What's going on?" Leo asked, frowning.

Kerry Fao explained: "I originally planned to conclude a deal with you as soon as possible and send you to Cullenville. After you finish your work, I will take you to see Her Majesty the Queen and receive the reward you deserve. However, now The situation is different, and Her Majesty hopes to see you at dinner today, so the time to send you to Cullenville may be postponed until tomorrow."

"Are you going to take us to see Leah Winistan now?" Sylvia called out the Snow Queen's name without hesitation.

Regarding Sylvia's name, the surrounding officials and soldiers frowned, with displeasure on their faces. In their hearts, their queen was like a god, and calling her name directly was simply a blasphemy. .

However, Kerry Fao did not show any displeasure, but nodded calmly, and then said: "It is true that I want to bring some of you to see Her Majesty the Queen, but some of you may need to change into a new suit. "

While talking, his eyes deliberately stopped on Leo who was in full armor.

Leo said in a deep voice: "I wear armor for other reasons. If you ask me to take off the armor, I will do it too, but if there are any bad consequences, you will be responsible."

Kerry Faol was stunned. Although he himself is not a superhuman, he has come into contact with a large number of supernatural beings, especially some families with deformed bodies. Those family members will wear some masks in order to hide their deformities. The whole body of clothing, and Leo's full body armor made him think of this aspect.

As for why Leo suddenly mutated, he didn't intend to ask, because he had seen some family members who were no different from ordinary people before, but turned into inhuman monsters the next moment.

So he showed a look of understanding on his face, then pointed to the two abyssal swords on Leo's body, and said, "Your Excellency Leo, you can wear a full body armor to meet Her Majesty the Queen, but your weapon..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Leo smiled again and interrupted: "Do you think I need to use weapons if I really want to make trouble?"

At this time, Kerry Fao remembered Leo's other identity, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and said no more.
