The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Damn it, I shouldn't have agreed to this proposal back then." After Sylvia finished describing the situation in Misha Town, she couldn't help cursing a few times in annoyance.

"It's useless to say what you say now." Leo stood up, pressed Sylvia's shoulder, and said, "You are in the Kingdom of Marris now, and there is an ocean in between, and with the current situation Let’s see, if something really happened there, even if you go back now, it’s over.”

"You're right." Sylvia nodded, calmed down a little, and then took a few deep breaths to calm down completely. Then, as if changing the subject, she asked Leo, "Are you participating this time?" What are you planning to buy at the auction? Do you have enough funds? You must know that the cash checks and coins of the Bank of England are temporarily invalid. If the thick fog on the sea continues, it will be impossible to communicate with the Kingdom of England and other continents , these things will eventually become like waste paper.”

"It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of Savile's Jinsa and Marris coins on hand, which are enough for the auction." Leo smiled confidently, and said, "Even if the funds are not enough, I will still pay for it." For concocting potions, I think the black market and other organizations in the dark world should be interested in these potions."

"I forgot, you can still refine potions." Sylvia smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, the potions you have on hand are definitely the best-selling items in the dark world, and the price has already dropped. It’s three times higher, and this is not the bottom line. I think in a few months, if you control the shipment a little bit, the price may increase tenfold.” She then reminded: “However, you still have to be careful to keep it secret. Your whereabouts, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble if people find out."

"Trouble?" Leo chuckled and said, "Are you worried that someone will attack me?"

"I'm not worried about that," Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile: "Under the spread of the black market, you have now been confirmed as the last tower wizard, and anyone with a little sense will not take the initiative Come to trouble you, after all, the status of the tower wizards has been accumulated over the past thousand years. However, although they will not trouble you, they will annoy you, such as..."

While Sylvia was talking, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Leo went to the door and opened it. He saw the hotel waiter standing outside the door, and then handed him a piece of paper, indicating that it was entrusted by someone. The hotel gave it to him.

Leo returned to the room with the paper, and before he could open the paper to see what was inside, Sylvia just glanced at the paper and said, "It's the Church of the Hill King, Only they are so rigid and still use reed paper as letter paper, it seems that the trouble I mentioned has come to the door."

Listening to Sylvia's words, Leo opened the paper and saw an address, an invitation, and a seal of the hill king's holy emblem. After reading it, he threw the letter on the table and asked, "The hill Hasn’t the King’s Church already withdrew from Yasha County?”

Sylvia explained: "They did evacuate, but they only evacuated the people from the dark world. The ordinary missionaries and believers stayed and continued to preach in Yasha County. As long as these Sichuan religious personnel If you don't do anything harmful to the stability of Yasha County, those vampires and werewolves will not attack those ordinary believers and believers."

Sylvia continued to explain: "Serf, who came to Moonlight City with you, should have disclosed your news to the church. Logically, he should be assisting the Church of the Hill King in Minglan Province to facilitate the civil war negotiations. Sherf is The Church of the Hill King's chess piece is on the bright side, and the incident was led by the Church of the Hill King back then, and it was actually just a temptation."

"Testing?" Leo asked puzzled, "Testing who?"

"Who else can be, of course the Orthodox Church." Sylvia poured another glass of wine for herself and Leo, and said, "I don't know the specifics, but when the Orthodox Church was established, each church A divine contract was signed. Under the influence of the divine contract, each church must send at least twenty of its best paladins to join the Orthodox Church, and also provide a large amount of support money to the Orthodox Church every year. To maintain the normal operation of the Orthodox Church. When the church was still at the peak of power, these dispatches of manpower and financial support were nothing, after all, they could also expand their influence through the Orthodox Church. But as the gods retired, With the advent of the steam industry, the power of the church has plummeted. The governments and nobles of various countries have begun to gain real power, and the influence of the Orthodox Church has been shrinking. It is not worthwhile to continue to support the Orthodox Church with so much manpower and money. Make such a test."

Leo said in a deep voice: "It seems that they finally got what they wanted, otherwise, the Orthodox Church would not have asked you, a witch, to be their adjudicator."

"Yes!" Sylvia smiled disdainfully, and said, "Did you know that there are twenty-seven adjudicators in the Orthodox Church, and only five are paladins from various churches, and most of the others are from the past? They were regarded as targets of heresy."

Leo was silent for a while, and asked: "If the gods return, the divine deeds of the Orthodox Church will come into play again, and the churches will inevitably have to fulfill the divine deeds again. In that case..."

"It is inevitable that there will be a battle in the Orthodox Church." Sylvia nodded, admitted Leo's guess, then straightened her expression, and said, "Wait a minute, I will go to the Church of the King of the Hill with you, and I will Resign there as Adjudicator."

"That's good, avoid getting involved in these meaningless fights." Leo also nodded in agreement with Sylvia's decision, but he asked again: "Is the process of resigning from the Orthodox Church such a joke? Only in an Orthodox Church Is it okay to resign within the church of a member church?"

"If it's a paladin of the church, it can't be so simple, but our adjudicator naturally doesn't have too many restrictions," Sylvia took out a holy emblem of an orthodox adjudicator from his pocket, and said : "Our non-ecclesiastical adjudicators only need to hand over this holy emblem to the clergy of any church that belongs to the Orthodox Church, and then they can resign from their positions."

"Is this too simple?" Leo frowned.

"That's what they want too." Sylvia sneered, did not continue the topic, and asked Leo instead: "After participating in the auction, shall we go to the north as planned?"

"No, there is one more thing." Leo shook his head, handed the invitation letter of White Swan Castle to Sylvia, and said, "I still want to go to White Swan Castle."

Sylvia was stunned for a while, but didn't open the invitation letter. She seemed to know the content of the invitation letter, and said, "Do you think that foundation is really the foundation of the tower wizard's wizard tower?"

"No." Leo shook his head, thought for a while, and said to Sylvia, "Do you still remember the incident when I went to No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

Sylvia was stunned, nodded and said: "Of course I remember, you disappeared for several years after you went there, and you didn't say anything about it after you came back. I thought you would never tell me what happened."

Leo could hear Sylvia's complaints, so he couldn't help but smile, then turned his face back on, and under Sylvia's gaze, he described in detail what happened after he entered No. 9 Golden Oak Street, I don't know why, when he mentioned the lady in the lake, he skipped it very quickly, and didn't mention that the lady in the lake tried to seduce him.

Sylvia was completely immersed in the miraculous encounters Leo narrated, and didn't notice some small movements in Leo's narration. She only had in mind the fog-wrapped Lake Town, the Wizards Association on Silvermoon Island, and Even more incredible ruins, the place where everything ends and so on.

Until Leo finished narrating that experience, she still hadn't recovered from what she had narrated, and sat blankly on the chair for a long time.

Leo didn't bother her either, but sat quietly aside, waiting for her to recover.

After a while, Sylvia picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the wine in one gulp, regained some expression on her face, and asked Leo, "Is everything you said true?"

"It's true." Leo replied affirmatively, and at the same time used the twin fists as a medium to display the crystal sword to prove his statement.

Looking at the two dazzling crystal swords in front of her, Sylvia searched all the information in her mind, but there was no record of such witchcraft. This also made her completely believe Leo's words, and she was quite annoyed. Said: "To be honest, I regret it a little! If only I had gone to No. 9 Golden Oak Street with you at that time."

"That's not a good thing. In that case, you might stay in that world just like Stampede." Leo shook his head and said.

Sylvia curled her lips with a look of disapproval, then she returned to the previous topic and said, "Are you suspicious of the foundation of White Swan Castle, the foundation of the wizard tower built by the Wizard Association?"

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Sylvia was silent for a moment, looked at Leo very seriously, and said, "I'm going this time too."

Leo froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "As long as you can get the invitation letter, I have no objection."

"The invitation letter is easy." Sylvia said with a smile.

Then, she stood up, walked around the room, came to the bedroom, sat on the bed very naturally, and said very directly to Leo: "I will live here tonight."

Leo was startled for a moment, and without thinking much, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing Leo answering so readily, and still looking calm, Sylvia couldn't help but frowned, and said displeasedly, "Do you really know what I mean?"

"I think, I know." Leo smiled slightly, turned around, walked to the living room, picked up the wine glasses and bottles on the table, returned to the bedroom, and closed the door smoothly.

After nightfall, a carriage quickly turned from Beirut Avenue in the upper city into an alley, passed through the alley, and walked through two relatively secluded small streets, before driving into the autumn leaves avenue in the lower city .

This avenue is the only four-horse carriageway in the lower city. This avenue connects the poor street and the factory area. Because heavy vehicles pass by all the year round, this avenue is seriously damaged, and many places are potholed. Although the carriages Some shock absorbers were installed on the car, and the driver also reduced the speed of the car, but it was still unavoidable to shake from side to side.

It is not difficult for Sylvia to maintain balance under this kind of shaking, but she didn't want to sit still at the moment, but fell on Leo's body while shaking, and then grabbed Leo's arm leaned on it.

Leo's breath penetrated into her nose, and the scene at the hotel just now appeared in her mind, her face that was originally normal became rosy, and her body leaned closer.

At the same time, the feeling from the arm also brought Leo back to the previous memory. It was the first time in his two lives. All relevant knowledge and experience came from the biochemical period, when human companions talked to each other. Although the content at the time was a bit rusty, he felt that he should have done a good job, because Sylvia's performance at that time was somewhat similar to the description of her human companion.

For him, it was also an extremely wonderful experience, he could clearly feel that every cell in his body was burning, his brain seemed to have entered another state, the body was no longer controlled by the brain, but driven by instinct , although the out-of-control state made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dislike that state.

Now, even though the matter has passed for a while, he still recalls the feeling at that time in his mind from time to time, and he also obviously feels some indescribable changes in his emotions and personality. What is the change? It can only be called human nature temporarily, that is, driven by this human nature, he instinctively hugged Sylvia in his arms.

As the carriage gradually stopped, Sylvia got up from Leo's arms, then quickly straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, suppressed the ups and downs just now, and turned to look at Leo who had calmed down. , said: "Your clothes are a bit messy." Then, he stretched out his hand to arrange Leo's clothes, then looked at Leo's not-so-handsome face, and said, "I really don't know why I fell in love with you? "

Leo raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter whether you fancy me or not, as long as I fancy you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sylvia to refute, she directly opened the car door and walked out.

When Sylvia heard Leo's words, she couldn't help smiling, and she also got out of the carriage, gave orders to the driver, and followed quickly.

The two walked through a narrow alley, and came to the church of the Church of the Hill King in Moonlight City, but the church in front of them is really hard to believe, it is the church of the Hill King.
