Chapter 1011: Lake in the Mountains
"Is there anything I need to do?" asked Mayor Josh as he figured out Leo's intentions.
"There's no need. Leo shook his head, but hesitated slightly, and said, "No, there is one thing you can do, and after hearing that the salvation will happen, it is to spread the news that there is a mountain stream crack in the Bollinger Valley that leads to the Miria region on the other side of the mountain range, and that there is a god skeleton at the bottom of the mountain cresm, and it is necessary to use ordinary urgent official documents." ”
"What?god remains?" Mayor Josh's face was filled with shock, and the look in his eyes was full of suspicion as he looked at Leo.
Mayor Josh was born after the retirement of the gods, during this period, miracles were scarce, the clerical power was weakened, the royal power was inflated, and the establishment and expansion of various academies made most of the people born in their generation only shallow believers, thinking that miracles were just some unknown scientific phenomenon, and even later saw supernatural powers, but only thought that this was an innate power of human beings, but this power could not be explained in a scientific way for the time being.
This kind of anti-deity, science-oriented thinking developed again after the discovery of various relics of prehistoric civilizations, and some people put forward the theory that the gods were actually survivors of prehistoric civilizations, but the various churches have responded to this statement very harshly, denouncing it as blasphemy.
Although the theory that the gods were survivors of prehistoric civilizations did not circulate among the public, it persisted in the academies of various countries, and Mayor Josh was also a supporter of this rumor.
Now Leo suddenly told him that there was a deity in the area under his jurisdiction, which made him not know how to react for a while, and he was more suspicious than shocked by Leo's words.
"You're not kidding?" he asked, after calming down a little, looking at Leo's very serious expression.
"It's not. Leo nodded, and then said, "You don't have to think much about this, just do what I tell you to do." ”
Mayor Josh couldn't help but feel emotion in his heart, and questioned: "How can you not think about it, it is a divine remains, what kind of impact will it have if it is obtained by the church, and it will ...... to the kingdom?"
Leo interrupted the other party's words and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, what you are worried about will not happen, it is impossible for the remains of that god to be taken away, otherwise, how could the Church of the Lord of the Sky allow it to be left there for thousands of years?" Think about it, if the other churches knew that the mountain stream contained a deity corpse and had a relationship with the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the Church of the Lord of the Sky was now preparing to take it out, what do you think the other churches on the Vilun Continent would think and do?"
Hearing Leo's words, Mayor Josh quickly calmed down, although he was not a particularly intelligent person and had not participated in any game of thrones, he could still judge how the other churches on the continent of Veron would react once the news that the Lord of the Sky might have the remains of a god spread.
Think of the fact that when all the churches believe in the gods are gone, all the churches are in the same state, and they don't have any opinion of the other churches.
But when a church suddenly jumps out, saying that it has mastered the remains of a god, and breaks away from the group, and takes a big step forward, then other churches will not be willing to lag behind, and there are only three ways to deal with it, one is to find a god's remains, the other is to directly believe in the gods to increase the frequency of miracles, and the last is to prevent the other party from obtaining the remains of the gods, and even put forward a request to jointly divide the remains.
The first way to deal with it is naturally impossible, knowing that the remains of gods are rarer than miracles, and at least not before that, no church has claimed to have found the remains of gods.
The second method is even more impossible, not to mention whether the gods will respond to the rude demands of believers, and even if they do, they may not be able to increase the frequency of miracles, because if the gods of the church can really easily increase the frequency of miracles, they will not retreat.
So in the end, those churches will only choose the third simplest, most direct, and most appropriate method, which is to prevent the Church of the Lord of the Sky from obtaining the remains of the gods, and all the churches will divide the remains together.
In this way, the Church of the Lord of the Sky and its allies will inevitably have the most direct and fierce conflict with the churches on the other continents, which is definitely a good thing for the various kingdoms and other secular powers.
Whether it is to act as a bystander, to watch the churches in the struggle, to weaken their strength, or to intervene in the struggle when necessary, to use this as an excuse to deprive the church of certain privileges is of great benefit to the consolidation of secular power.
"I know how to do it, it's not enough to rush the documents, I also need to add a special inspection number. Mayor Josh, who understood what Leo meant, nodded, and added, "Although the Church of the Lord of the Sky is the main religious force in the mountain, other churches also have offices here, and they have many eyes and ears, and an urgent document marked with a special inspection should attract their attention." ”
Seeing that Mayor Josh understood what he meant, Leo didn't stop any longer, got up and left, flew out of the window, flew out of the mountain town in the night, discerned the direction, and flew in the direction of the Brin Valley.
With Leo's mastery of psionic basic skills, the flight speed of his psionic wings has also increased correspondingly, in the past, he only borrowed psionic wings to vibrate the air, and create air currents, gliding in the air, but now he is like a real flying machine, able to fly freely in the air like a bird, and the speed of flight is getting faster and faster, and now it has almost reached the point of breaking through the speed of sound.
It's just that, even so, Leo rarely uses this kind of psionic skill, because the psionic skill of the psionic wing consumes too much energy, and even a sixth-level psionic person like him can only fly at full speed for about an hour at most.
This is mainly because the alien psionic person who originally invented the psionic skill of psionic wings did not create it for the purpose of flying in inner space, and psionic wings are more suitable for flying in space, because while flying, it can absorb various energies in the universe in a wide range, supplement psionic energy consumption, and even convert these energies into energy jets, driving jets with extremely weak psionic energy to drive flight speed.
According to the psionic inheritance knowledge obtained by Leo, a sixth-level psionic person who casts psionic wings in the universe can not only make the flight speed reach the speed of the flight of a galaxy warship, but also will not consume psionic energy, and can even replenish the user's psionic energy through the energy conversion of psionic wings.
Therefore, the most useful psionic inheritance knowledge obtained by Leo is the basic knowledge, and as for those high-level psionic skills that are strong enough to fight against battleships, they are either unique psionic abilities that belong to alien races, or they need to be used in the universe.
In order to avoid any accidents due to the large consumption of psionic energy, Leo stopped after flying through the psionic wings for about half an hour, fell to the ground, hurried with his legs, and ate a large amount of food prepared in the storage space while hurrying, digested and merged these foods through the chaotic stomach pouch, and then transformed the energy of the food through the power of nightmares to replenish the consumption of psionic energy.
During this time, Leo also improved the various powers of the body, so that these powers are not used alone, but several powers are used together to form some very practical compound skills, such as the transformation skills used now.
"Huh?" As Leo was hurrying through the mountains, he suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at the small valley not far to the right, only to see that in his spiritual vision, soft light was constantly emanating from there, and the energy fluctuations contained in the light were very familiar to him, the energy fluctuations of the lady in the lake.
Leo paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and moved towards the valley over there, unfolding the spirit net and scanning the situation over there.
I saw that there was a lake in the valley over there, and the light emanated from the lake, and judging from the way the light emanated, the lady in the lake should be in the lake.
It's just that the lady of the lake didn't appear this time because of Leo, but because of another person, and I saw that there was a heavily armed team resting next to the lake, judging from their clothes and weapons, it should be some bounty mercenary team in the United Kingdom.
Although in the Dibia Mountains, the main force to intercept the runaway mutants is the soldiers of the United Kingdom, even the soldiers cannot do everything, and there will always be fish that slip through the net, and the bounty mercenaries attracted by the high bounties can just make up for this part of the gap.
Judging from the state of the resting bounty mercenaries by the lake, they should have just experienced a hard battle not long ago, and everyone was not only exhausted, but even a few of them showed signs of serious injuries, so that they couldn't even keep people for vigil, so they could only set up a large number of guard traps around the camp, and also arranged a few hunting dogs for guarding.
The runaway mutants who caused the people trouble have now been decapitated by them, and the head has been placed in a box in the camp.
Leo did not immediately come forward after understanding the situation, but after coming to the lake a certain distance, he stopped, as a bystander, watching what was happening in front of him.
At this time, the light emitted by the lake no longer needs to use spiritual vision, and can be seen with the naked eye.
In the camp, the hounds used for vigilance saw the abnormal situation, and wanted to scream, but because of the suppression of some force, they could not bark, and one of the old dogs did not know whether it was active or guided by some force, in short, it was the only one of these hounds that could move, only to see it jump next to a sleeping young warrior in the camp, open its mouth and drag the warrior's trouser leg hard.
Although the young warrior was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, the basic warrior instinct did not disappear, and the moment his trouser leg was bitten, he woke up, and instantly stood up from the ground, drew the common and mechanical crossbow hanging from his waist, and looked around vigilantly.
However, he soon found that there were no enemies around, but as if he had been illuminated by the kingdom's latest military spotlights, the entire camp was illuminated by a strong light in the direction of a lake.
Although the young man felt extremely curious in his heart, he still remembered some of the precautions mentioned by his captain, such as not being too curious, and never acting alone when encountering strange things.
So instead of going to the lake to check on the situation, he ran to his sleeping companion to wake him up.
But what made him feel bad was that the comrades who had fallen asleep showed no sign of waking up no matter how much he pushed and shoved, and even he deliberately touched the wound on the body of one of the wounded, hoping to use the pain to wake the wounded person, but still did not get the feedback he wanted.
At this time, he immediately realized that the bright light coming from the direction of the lake was probably coming at him.
After a little hesitation, he got up and walked to a box next to him, opened it, and removed some special weapons used to deal with mutants from inside, and hung them on the weapon buckle on his body, and then took out two bottles of potions from the box, hesitated slightly, opened them, and drank them all.
Just after he drank the potion, the blood vessels on his face swelled outward, his eyeballs turned white, and his whole face became extremely hideous.
Seeing the effect of the young man after drinking the potion, Leo also felt a little curious, because he could feel that there was not too much energy in the two bottles of potion, but when the two bottles of potion were mixed and drunk, it could change the physique of ordinary people to a certain extent, so that ordinary people had enough strength to fight against the complete body mutants.
Feeling the strength of his own strength, the young man seemed to have gained confidence, and he took up his weapon and walked out of the makeshift tent, through a small area of obscured woods, to the edge of the lake.
However, when he saw the light gushing out of the lake, the whole person was stunned, and the originally fierce battle intent quickly dissipated, and some hideous faces showed all shock and reverence.
In the Vilun Continent, under the influence of the French Empire, which was founded on knights, almost everyone heard all kinds of legends related to the Lady of the Lake when they were young, and they saw many stage plays when they became adults, even if the church of the Lady of the Lake never took the initiative to preach to the people, the vast majority of the people were pan-believers of the Lady of the Lake, and many of them were believers and even clergy of other churches.
The young man had apparently grown up listening to the story of the Lady of the Lake, so when he saw what he saw, he immediately became associated with a legend of the Lady of the Lake, and for this reason he even imitated the method mentioned in the story, kneeling on one knee, holding the long sword in front of him, resting his forehead on the top of the hilt, and reciting the name of the Lady of the Lake.
