The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"How is the assassin's investigation going? Why do you need to talk to me?" After dealing with the baby girl, Sylvia shifted to another business and asked Leo.

"This assassin is the clearer of the Church of the Lord of the Sky." Leo said bluntly.

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head immediately, questioning: "Impossible, the Church of the Lord of the Sky will never send a clearer to attack me."

Leo didn't refute Sylvia's words, he just said what he did after he brought the assassin to the quarry, and then asked: "Do you have any enemies in the Church of the Sky? That's the kind An enemy who hates you to the bone?"

"Of course." Sylvia admitted Leo's guess without hesitation, but at the same time added: "Even this kind of mortal enemy is also impossible to use the clearer to attack me, not to mention that I am in the sky. Even if I don’t have the identity of the Lord of the Sky Church, my enemies in the Church of the Sky Lord still have to worry about my earlship, because it is the most taboo thing in any country for the church to send people to assassinate nobles. No matter how high the prestige of that church is, all the kingdoms will regard it as an enemy and ban preaching. This kind of thing happened before, when all the kingdoms united to expel and suppress an Orthodox church that did such a wrong thing. It took a year for this church to completely disappear from the world of Velen, and you must know that the church is still a church with the true God standing behind it."

Leo did not follow Sylvia's words to discuss whether it is right or wrong that the church cannot take action against the nobles, but asked instead, "In this case, what do you think is the reason for the cleanser with the blessing of the gods?" To assassinate Tolland?"

Sylvia didn't answer. Although she didn't think the Church of the Lord of the Sky would send someone to kill her son, she didn't deny what Leo had investigated. Obviously, with Leo's ability, it was impossible to misidentify the origin of the assassin. Yes, then there must be something she doesn't know about this matter.

Thinking of this, Sylvia walked outside the suite, gave instructions to a subordinate who was always waiting by the side door, and then returned to the room to wait.

Leo didn't ask any further questions, and stayed beside the cradle, carefully monitoring the gamma rays on the little girl's body, and its impact on little Tolan. Just as he guessed, the gamma rays could affect little Tolan's blood, causing them to produce Waves of abnormal movement.

However, all the movements were nothing more than that, and soon little Tolan's blood got used to this weak gamma ray, and did not have any reaction to the gamma ray anymore.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Sylvia was also at the side at this time. She knew from Leo's behavior that Leo was monitoring the situation of Tolan and the baby girl, and she saw Leo wrinkled slightly. Frowning, he asked nervously.

"Things are a bit unexpected," Leo sighed, responded to Sylvia, and then said seriously: "Our child's blood is too strong, and the current gamma rays can't affect him at all. Whether it’s a positive impact or a negative impact.”

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was stunned for a moment, feeling that Leo seemed to be praising little Tolan's pure blood, so she smiled and teased little Tolan who was still sleeping, and then teased little Tolan The baby girl, then asked: "Should we give this little guy a name?"

Leo thought for a while, and said, "How about Irene?"

"Irene?" Sylvia was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "That's fine, let's call her Irene! She is our adopted daughter Irene. Since my son has your surname, then this little guy will be named after you." My last name, I'll call her Irene Belmont."

"Irene Belmont?" Leo was stunned when he heard the name, because the name evokes some memories that Leo didn't pay much attention to. He remembered that when he was exploring Yam Island with Alice Belmont, Alice Belmont once mentioned that a member of Belmont's family turned out to be the pope of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and that member was named Irene Belmont.

Leo never paid attention to this news. At that time, he just subconsciously thought that Pope Irene mentioned by Alice might be a member of the Belmont family in the past. After all, the name Irene is very common in all the countries of Vilen. In the past, several members of the Belmont family were named after Irene.

But now, I inadvertently named my adopted daughter Irene, and Sylvia said that the girl should be named Belmont after me, and I immediately felt an indescribable feeling, that is the one that Alice mentioned at the beginning. Pope Irene probably came from the future world, that is, the baby girl Irene in front of me.

Just when Leo was thinking about the name Irene Belmont, there was a knock on the door outside the suite, and then he saw Sylvia's subordinates bring in the documents and arrange them neatly on the table, and then walked out of the room.

Sylvia sat at the table, picked up a piece of information, and said in a deep voice: "These are the materials I collected from various churches in the United Kingdom, and we may be able to find out from these materials why there is a sky. The liquidators of the Episcopal Church assassinate Tolland."

Hearing this, Leo didn't say much, and picked up a document and quickly looked through it.

Although there are a lot of materials related to the church, the table in the living room has been piled up, and the content is very detailed, and each page is written slowly, but at Leo's reading speed, it is still very fast. He easily read through these materials, and then saw him leaning on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, quickly sorting out these materials in his own way in his mind, and summarizing them into the database.

After sorting out these materials, Leo re-reviewed the contents of the materials in great detail, and specifically called out all the contents that might be related to the assassination of Tolan, and analyzed them. Soon he had some clues, and based on these clues A possible reason for the assassination of Tolland was found.

"Look at these documents." After analyzing the results, Leo quickly extracted several documents from the pile of documents on the table, handed them to Sylvia, and said.

Sylvia took these documents and read them carefully, and said, "They think Tolan is some kind of shit-destroyer?"

Leo said very seriously: "I guess it should be like this. These people may not have great influence in various churches, but they also have certain powers and can send some missions to the clearers, including the Lord of the Sky. church."

In the files that Leo took out, they all recorded some recent prominent church activities and emerging church ideas in the entire Velen continent.

Since the world has mutated, gray fog has shrouded the ocean, and from time to time it will emerge from some cities. A large number of mutants have appeared all over the world. The situation of the whole world is hovering on the verge of stability and collapse, and everyone is worried. This has also led to a large number of doomsday thoughts in various places among the people, and this trend of thought has also affected the church. Various churches have also created some church scriptures based on these doomsday thoughts, and all church scriptures , all mentioned a legend of the Destroyer.

The legends of the World Destroyer in various churches are similar. It is said that a certain World Destroyer will come out of the sea of ​​gray mist or the black forest, hide among the human beings, grow gradually, and finally master the supreme power of the secular and extraordinary, leading the world. His army of monsters began to destroy the entire world.

What makes people feel ridiculous is that this widely circulated legend of the Destroyer was originally the idea of ​​an underground cult. In the past, it was denounced as heresy by the Orthodox church. Anyone who spreads this kind of heresy will be regarded as a heresy. Now this This kind of thought is not only spread among the people, even the Orthodox Church has begun to classify this heresy into the ranks of orthodox thought.

Because of the legend of the Destroyer, those who believe in the legend of the Destroyer have focused their attention on the two places of the ocean and the Black Forest, and censored all the people who appeared from the Ocean and the Black Forest, especially those who People who are young but have special abilities are the main ones, and judging from intelligence data, both churches and civil organizations have killed several groups of people who are suspected of being World Destroyers.

Because of this, when Leo and Sylvia came out of the Black Forest, someone had already noticed them, and Tolan was also noticed. Judging from all signs, Tolan seems to be very suitable for the conditions of the World Destroyer, but Because of Sylvia's special status, no one dared to make a move immediately, and it was only now that she couldn't help but make a move.

In fact, Sylvia's attention during this time was all on cleaning up the spies of the empire and the traitors of the kingdom. In addition, she had resigned from the position of adjudicator, so she didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the church. As a matter of fact, these intelligence materials were missed, otherwise, she would definitely have discovered some misconduct by the church against little Tolan.

Judging from this information, the folk thoughts on the legend of the Destroyer in the Vinylon Continent have a great influence. Many folk groups are believers and promoters of this thought, and even many people in the United Kingdom government have similar thoughts. Thoughts, but within the church, this thought trend of the legend of the Destroyer is still a small trend of thought, and it is only circulated among a small number of people inside, and there are some high-level church leaders among these people. The legend of the Destroyer has been classified as a non-heretical doctrine, so that ordinary people can see and learn from it, as can be seen from the establishment of multiple schools of Destroyer within the church.

Among these intelligence materials, there are also the personal files of several people, which were transferred by Sylvia's subordinates. The files of these people are all the senior members of the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Velen Continent, and these senior church members They also have the power to dispatch liquidators.

The clearers of the Church of the Lord of the Sky are not as easily dispatched to perform tasks as Leo thought. Each clearer task requires five members of the Cleaner Brotherhood to conduct a task review before handing it over to the A high-level church official who has the authority to clean up missions will only be dispatched to carry out the mission after a second review. The task of dispatching cleanups blessed by the gods is more stringent, requiring at least two high-level officials to conduct a second review, and the candidates for the review are all randomly selected from the church. Selected by the top, not a fixed choice.

That is to say, at least seven senior priests of the Lord of the Sky Church were involved in the assassination of Tolan Jr., two of whom were senior church officials.

However, what makes Sylvia and Leo feel strange is that none of the high-level church officials who have the task authority of the second audit clearer in the data is a believer in the thought trend of destroying the world. On the contrary, they all think that this kind of destroying the world The orthodox trend of thought is completely heresy, not to mention putting it in the official classics, even letting the books that record it appear in the church of the Lord of the Sky is a blasphemy against the Lord of the Sky.

"It's not a killer sent by the Church of the Lord of the Sky." Sylvia made a very decisive and certain judgment after reading these files.

Leo froze for a moment, and asked, "The relationship between those high-level Sky Lord Church leaders who are in charge of the second review and you..."

"They are all my teachers." Sylvia replied affirmatively.

Leo was silent for a while, and said: "If it is not the killer sent by the Church of the Lord of the Sky as you think, then this matter will be even more troublesome."

Sylvia quickly guessed what Leo was thinking, and said in a deep voice, "You mean that something has gone wrong inside the Church of the Lord of the Sky."

Leo slowly said: "The headquarters of the Church of the Lord of the Sky is in the Kingdom of America, and the Villen continent is only a branch. With the gray fog sealing the sea, the connection between the branch and the headquarters should have been severed. In this case, a large number of mutants In addition to various rumors among the people, some members of the church who are not firm in their beliefs may have other thoughts, some of the original rules of the church will inevitably be abandoned, and new rules will appear secretly, such as sending out liquidators. Procedure may be one of the rules that changes."

When Sylvia heard this, her face was a little gloomy, and she stood up and walked back and forth in the room. It is obvious that the Church of the Lord of the Sky has a strong position in her heart. Now there are unpredictable changes in the Church of the Lord of the Sky, which makes She was distraught.

But soon she recovered from that abnormal state, and said in a deep voice: "I am the earl of the United Kingdom, and my son is the heir to the earl title, but now my son is assassinated by the church. Yu Li needs to let the kingdom know."

Leo also guessed Sylvia's follow-up thoughts after making this decision, and said, "Report this matter to the kingdom, let the kingdom put pressure on it, and then you enter the church as a victim to investigate?"

Sylvia nodded and said, "Because of emotion and reason, the Kingdom shouldn't ignore this matter."

Leo also agreed with Sylvia's decision. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll also go to the black market in the city, maybe I can find out some news."
