The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"I'm afraid things are a bit troublesome!" Sylvia repeatedly confirmed that the religious emblem on the fireplace wall was indeed thick with the Holy Emblem of Tranquility, and the serious expression on her face became more intense, and there was also a trace of worry.

"You seem to be very worried about Tranquility Church?" Leo looked at Sylvia's expression and asked suspiciously: "Isn't Tranquility Church the True God Church of the Orthodox Church? Although you are no longer the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church, you are also You shouldn’t be so worried about them, right? As far as I remember, the Church of Tranquility doesn’t seem to have the habit of hunting witches.”

"If it was the Tranquility Church in the past, of course I wouldn't be so worried, but the Tranquility Church now..." Sylvia's serious expression on her face did not weaken, she shook her head, and said: "The Tranquility Church now is not at all Church of Tranquility."

Hearing Sylvia's twisted explanation, Leo and Tessa Moka on the side were even more puzzled.

Seeing this situation, Sylvia carefully explained: "The tranquility of all things has long since disappeared, and they are the first batch of true gods to disappear from the world of Velen. At the revision meeting, the popes of the three churches, Lord of the Sky, King of the Hill, and Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things, confirmed that the tranquility of all things has completely fallen. At the beginning, the Orthodox Church was about to dissolve the Church of Tranquility, but the senior clergy of the Church of Tranquility said that They have always been able to listen to the peaceful voice of all things, and refused to disband the church, and the conflict happened like this. The Orthodox Church has no record of the process, but the result is that the name of the Tranquility Church is erased from the books of the true God, and the Tranquility Church is also cleared Yes, and the Tranquility Church has been defined as a cult within the Orthodox Church, but the information has not been made public."

Tessa Moka said disapprovingly: "What does the cult have to do with it? We only stayed here for two days, checked the situation on the ice bridge and left."

"You don't understand." Sylvia shook her head and said, "I don't know which evil god the Tranquility Church believes in now. believers, then in less than a month, everyone in the whole village will become believers of Tranquility Church. According to the records of the Orthodox Church, several mountain towns in countries such as Faran, Maris, and Sigma were wiped out for this reason Yes, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured." Then, she looked at the badge on the wall and said, "I'm afraid that the people in the small town of Taniko have become believers of Tranquility Church."

"In this case, what are you going to do? Kill them all?" Leo asked calmly.

"Of course not, I'm not the adjudicator now... Even if I were the adjudicator, I would not, let alone have the ability to do that. This kind of matter should be handled by the people in power in Daliyat!" Sylvie said Shaking his head, he added solemnly: "But we'd better take precautions. We must know that Tranquility Church's teachings contain a lot of sacrifices. Although the sacrifices in those teachings are all food and animals, who would It can be guaranteed that after becoming a cult, they will not treat people as sacrifices."

Leo nodded, didn't say anything, went directly outside the house and arranged several rune traps around the house that could cover the entire house. He didn't hide his actions. The local man in the villa guard's cabin He also saw Leo's movements, but he didn't see any clues, he just thought that Leo was checking the status of the villa.

After returning to the house, Sylvia and Tessa Moka had already prepared the supplies and luggage for crossing the ice bridge, and moved them to the living room next to the hall next to it, and then the three of them went upstairs, picked a room, and cleaned it up a bit After a while, after lighting the fireplace, I took out some food and warmed it up, and then went about my business.

Sylvia has been getting acquainted with her blood power recently. If there is only one blood power, she should be able to quickly master the skills of using it, but the problem is that she has two powerful abyss powers. If you want to be proficient It takes a long time to practice to switch between the two powers and display them at the same time.

As for Tessa Mocha, her behavior is a bit weird. She will find some seeds, hold them in her hands, and say some words that she can't understand until the seeds germinate.

This should be a way for her to train her own strength, because in these days, the wavelength of energy fluctuations in her body is larger and the frequency is lower. On the contrary, her temperament has become more mysterious, making people unable to speak to describe.

Compared with the two witches who are diligently familiarizing themselves with their own power, Leo is obviously much more relaxed. What he has done these days is to re-read all the wizard notes on him and sort out his wizard knowledge , so that it can be integrated into the psionic system.

In this way, time passed quickly, and the sky became dark. In the evening, the mayor sent someone to deliver some hot food.

However, Tessa Mocha easily found some herbal ingredients in the food. These herbs are not poison, but a kind of calming herb, which can help people sleep better. herbs.

Tessa Mocha directly asked the attendant who brought the food why he put tranquilizing herbs in the food.

Regarding Tessa Mocha's questioning, the attendant seemed very calm, saying that all the scholars who just came here before would suffer from restlessness and insomnia at night, so in order to take good care of the scholars' daily life, the mayor used the With the funds, a large number of tranquilizing herbs were purchased for the scholars to use, and a little tranquilizing herbs would be added to the food of the new scholars to help the newcomers adapt to the harsh environment here.

After the explanation, the attendant asked Leo if they had any other orders. After getting a negative answer, he turned and left the small villa. The whole process was very decent and natural, without any abnormalities.

"What do you think?" Tessa Mocha looked at the food on the table and said.

"During the questioning just now, his heartbeat accelerated a lot, but he tried his best to hide it, and he gave a perfect explanation casually. It seems that he came prepared." Sylvia looked through the window, Watching the man greet the staff of the town government at the door, he left the villa and said, "The Ningshen herbs should be related to certain rituals of Tranquility Church, we..."

Sylvia was about to suggest throwing away the food and eating the food she brought, but saw Leo eating the obviously tampered food on the table indifferently.

"What are you doing?" Sylvia asked immediately.

"Eat!" Leo responded calmly.

Sylvia gave Leo an angry look, and said, "I'm asking you what you want to do? Why do you want to eat these foods that have been tampered with?"

Leo responded briefly, saying, "I want to know what kind of follow-up they have after doing these tricks."

Sylvia heard the words and realized that Leo wanted to take this opportunity to find out what the hell was going on in the town, so as not to be suspicious during the two days he stayed here.

Seeing this situation, Sylvia also picked up a piece of pastry to eat, but was stopped by Leo. Leo said that it was fine to be alone, and if anything happened, she and Tessa Mocha could still have Chance to save.

Sylvia nodded when she heard the words, and watched Leo clean up the food on the table.

After eating, Leo sat by the fireplace again, reading a book. After a while, the effect of the tranquilizing herbal medicine began to appear, and he felt a burst of fatigue and drowsiness after being able to stay awake for a long time. He did not resist this feeling Instead, following the feeling, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Leo suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked around, and saw that the surroundings were no longer the stove of the villa, but in a golden rice field with no edge in sight. The rice in the garden is half the height of a person. The ears of rice bend the rice stalks and hang down. The sunlight falls from a distance and falls on the rice fields, reflecting bursts of golden light, covering Leo in it. He felt very relaxed in the rice field.

"This is quite true!" Leo reached out and grabbed a rice ear beside him, rubbed it, saw the rice falling from the gap between his fingers, felt the feeling from his hand, and said with a smile.

At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge figure appeared in the sky covering the sky and covering the sun, covering all the surrounding sunlight.

That figure was a giant, a giant whose head was covered by clouds. It was as huge as the Guha giant that Leo had seen. Although the opponent's head was covered by clouds, Leo could still feel the opponent's fall. The line of sight on his body, and with the line of sight falling on his body, there is also a life suppression from higher life forms.

After feeling the suppression of this life, Leo quickly made a judgment. The other party's life form should be equivalent to a psyker of around eighth level. Compared with Lia Venistan, it is stronger, but the gap is also small. It's not very big, but it's somewhat similar to the Eye of Reality that Leo had encountered before. It's still far behind the level of Omega-level advanced life forms. Otherwise, Leo would not be standing in the rice field, but kneeling on the ground up.

The giant saw that Leo did not make any desired movements, nor did he feel any strange emotions, such as fear, panic, fear, etc., which made him feel a little annoyed, and let out a cold snort like thunder, and then Crouching down, he reached out and grabbed Leo.

When the giant squatted down, Leo could see the giant's face clearly, but the giant's face didn't have any normal facial features, only a hollow, with a light in the middle of the hollow, and tentacles around the hollow. .

Facing the falling giant's palm, Leo didn't appear to be panicked. Although most of his power could not be used here, there was a kind of power that could be used normally, and its power was far stronger than usual. It is the power of nightmare.

So when the giant's palm fell, he instantly aroused the nightmare power in his body, and pictures appeared in his mind, including the battle between the Guha giant and the Weiya warship, and the stone throne. scene.

Almost at the same time as the pattern appeared in his mind, his figure disappeared from under the giant's palm, and his sudden disappearance also surprised the giant.

Just when the giant was about to stand up and look for Leo's whereabouts, a palm bigger than the giant fell from the air, and slapped the giant directly and fiercely, slapping him to the ground like a fly.

The giant was obviously irritated, and quickly stood up from the ground, looked up to see what was attacking him, and what he saw was not a bigger giant, but a huge stone throne suspended in the air, on the stone throne Surrounded by huge stone pillars.

An incomparable and powerful might surged out from the stone throne, fell on the giant, and pressed the giant to the ground again. At the same time, the giant pythons wrapped around the stone pillar also raised their bodies, their bodies extended infinitely, and moved towards the giant. He rushed over, apparently wanting to wrap the giant around and drag him to the stone throne.

Faced with this situation, the faceless giant, who had looked extremely majestic just now, was completely frightened. His huge body shrank instantly, and finally turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

At the same time, the stone throne in the sky also disappeared, and Leo, who disappeared in the rice field just now, reappeared at the place just now, but at this moment his face was a little unsightly. Obviously, while transforming into the stone throne, he also Also subject to the same impact.

However, he recovered quickly, looked at the place where the giant disappeared, smiled contemptuously, and said, "It's really courting death for you to come to my spiritual world!"

When his voice fell, his body also quickly dissipated, disappearing from this rice field world.

"What happened to you just now?" When Leo woke up, Sylvia who was looking at him nervously appeared in front of him, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Is there anything unusual about me just now?" Leo asked.

Sylvia nodded and said, "Suddenly there is a very terrifying and powerful power coming from you, even stronger than the power of the gods I felt in the Orthodox Court."

Leo said relaxedly: "It's okay, it's just that I made a little counterattack when I met the evil god who now controls the Church of Tranquility."

Sylvia froze for a moment, and asked, "You were the one feeding just now..."

Leo nodded, and added: "It's just aura, it's okay to scare people, don't think about anything else." Then, he recalled the giant he saw in the spiritual world, and asked in a deep voice: "You know Is there any evil god that appears in the eyes of others as a faceless giant?"

"The faceless giant?" Sylvia was taken aback.

Leo said carefully: "There is a huge hole on the face, no facial features, only..."

"A ball of light." Before Leo could finish speaking, Sylvia added.
