Chapter 209: True and False Magic Tides

Hearing Leo admit that she had seen the Lady of the Lake, even if it was just a projection of the Lady of the Lake's dream, Sylvia felt extremely shocked in her heart, but in addition to the shock, she thought of something that made her fall into deep thought, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing that Sylvia was thinking about something, Leo didn't bother, but looked the other party up and down.

Although Sylvia's appearance is no different from a few years ago, her temperament has changed dramatically, and this change is like the difference between a budding flower bone and a blooming flower.

Leo can feel that this change in temperament is not only related to Sylvia's experience over the years, but also related to her bloodline ascension, in her temperament contains a kind of spiritual energy fluctuations that can have an effect on people's souls, which is the same as the charm of the lady in the lake, only with the divine power of the gods, and the other with the magic of the witch.

At this moment, Leo found that there seemed to be a trace of strange fluctuations in his heart that he had not felt before, and this fluctuation was not due to the influence of psionic fluctuations, nor because of the residual perception of his body's previous life, but from his own feelings, from the feelings of cyborg 74328.

In the Earth Federation, the question of whether cyborgs possess normal human emotions has always been the focus of debate between cyborgs and human organizations.

Although there are many cyborgs elected by the Cyborgs Activist Protection Organization who claim that the cyborgs have human emotions, Leo knows very well that cyborgs have the same physiological impulses as ordinary people, but they have no emotions, and their hearts are like robots, even if they are passionate bedmates one moment and strangers without emotion the next.

But now, Leo is a little skeptical of his past judgment, because the emotional fluctuations he has in the face of Sylvia now have nothing to do with physiology, nor do they have anything to do with the residual feelings of his body's previous life, but from the heart of his own cyborg and from the soul that belongs to 74328. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't suppress this emotion in any way, and this sudden emotion also made him a little overwhelmed, and even felt panicked in his heart that he had never felt before.

"Something must have happened in that memory that disappeared, not only in the body, but also in the soul!" Leo thought of his own emotions when he faced Sylvia and the Lady of the Lake before, and immediately became a little suspicious of the true emotions in his heart now, and linked this incident with the changes in his body, which also made him more curious about the memory he lost.

"You're a little skeptical, aren't you?" Just as Leo was suspicious of his situation, Sylvia suddenly asked inexplicably.

"Huh!?" Leo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

However, Sylvia didn't seem to care about Leo's answer, took the glass that had been placed on the table before, brought herself another glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "You should also feel that this world has changed in the past few years since you left, and you are curious about these changes, right?"

"Are you talking about the French Empire recruiting clans into the army?" Leo said tentatively.

"You've seen those hyenas, mongrels have been active in the Bidia Mountains lately, and the bounty hunters on the black market have killed quite a few of our colleagues. When Sylvia heard about the dependents of the Imperial Army, her face immediately became full of hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If I had known this, I should not have sympathized with these guys in the first place, and I should have cooperated with the Night's Watch to destroy all of these quota guys." ”

Leo could tell that a lot of things must have happened between the clan and the Night's Watch over the years, even affecting a neutral organization like the Persona Society, and although he was curious, he didn't take the initiative to ask, but quietly listened to it.

"There are people in the Society who suspect that a new tide of magic is coming. Sylvia jumped from hatred for her family to something else.

"You're talking about the Magic Tide Theory proposed by Bell the Ingen?" Although Sylvia's words were clueless, Leo could understand the meaning of the sentence.

In Rembrandt's library, Leo has seen a variety of scholarly research materials, including a scholar named Bell who has made some conjectures about why so many gods appeared in the ancient world, and why those gods left. Through the study of the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, he proposed a set of magical tide theory, in which he used the ups and downs of the tides to explain the rise and fall of each civilization, and this law is very consistent with the rise and fall of the gods and religions.

It's just that this tidal theory is not convincing in this era of steam industrialization, so it can only be left in the dust of the library.

But this tidal theory reminds Leo of the cosmic psionic tidal hypothesis that has been announced by the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences, the two have a very striking similarity, and the scientists of the Earth Federation also believe that the cosmic psionic energy has the same law of strength and weakness as the tides, but this fluctuation frequency is divided by tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, while the magic tides of the Velen world are divided by thousands of years, and such a big gap between the two also makes Leo feel that this magical tidal theory is incorrect, and he does not pay too much attention to it.

"Do you know Bell's theory of magic tides?" Sylvia was about to explain what magic tides were, and was a little surprised to see that Leo actually knew the origin of the magic tide theory, but quickly figured it out and said, "You should have seen the relevant article from Master Rembrandt, right?"

"Yes. Leo nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's fine, it saves me time to explain. Sylvia walked over to the chair opposite Leo and sat down, and said, "Three years ago, for unknown reasons, a large number of clans appeared, and the people of the Orthodox Court also found that the magic they used was showing signs of strengthening, and the wizards of the wizards' assembly hall also spread the news that the magic of the world had changed. At the time, we didn't take these things to heart, and then some mysterious events happened frequently in various cities, and we noticed that the world began to change differently, and then someone re-proposed Bell's theory of magic tides, and we also felt that a new round of magic tides was happening. ”

When Leo heard Sylvia's words, he couldn't help but frown, and he didn't agree with the conclusion made by Sylvia, or the Persona Society and other organizations in the dark world, in his opinion, the so-called magic tide did not exist at all.

No one in this world knows better than him what the so-called magic, divine power, and natural power are, and the root of all supernatural powers is cosmic spiritual energy. If, as Sylvia said, a new wave of magic appears, then the first thing that changes is the psionic fluctuations that envelop the entire world.

If it was before, Leo didn't feel so strongly about the psionic fluctuations of the entire world, but now that he has become a fourth-level psionic person, he can use the methods of the Earth Federation to easily find out the psionic fluctuations from various cosmic energies, so the psionic environment of the entire Velen world has no secret to him.

Just as he had just felt when he returned to the Veron World from the Dream World, the current Velonon World and the past Velonon World had not changed in terms of psionic fluctuations, so the Magic Tide did not exist.

After clarifying his thoughts, Leo questioned, "Are you sure that the magic tide really happened?"

Sylvia said with a solemn expression: "If it was just a large-scale appearance of the clan, we would still suspect that there was something wrong with the clan, but now even the Orthodox Court and the wizard assembly hall have come with news, so this matter is ......."

Before Sylvia could finish speaking, Leo interrupted her and said, "The emergence of the steam industry has a very great impact on the world, both good and bad, and it is clear that the clans, wizards' guilds, and the Orthodox Church have all been affected badly after the emergence of the steam industry, and their decline is becoming more and more visible. ”

"You mean that they are uniting to deliberately create the illusion of a new wave of magical tides?" Sylvia guessed Leo's thoughts, but quickly retorted: "Impossible, the clan and the wizard assembly hall will not be mentioned, the Orthodox Church will definitely not cooperate with the clan, you must know that these clans are all evil god believers or descendants of evil god believers that the Orthodox Church wants to exterminate." ”

"If there were no evil gods, would there still be any need for those gods of the Orthodox Court to exist?" Leo said again, which could be described as shocking.

Hearing this, Sylvia was a little glad that she had just used wizard strange objects to block the sound of the room, because Leo's words could be said to be blasphemous, as long as it spread, the paladins and priests of all religions in the Orthodox Church would be dispatched to dispose of Leo quickly.

It's just that while being shocked and frightened by Leo's words, Sylvia has to admit that Leo's words have some truth, thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible to do so, but soon she shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to shake off the blasphemous thoughts in her head, and repeated with some confidence: "Impossible, the Orthodox Church will never cooperate with the family." ”

"They don't need to cooperate at all. Leo continued: "The large-scale appearance of the Clans is an opportunity, the reason for this phenomenon is unknown, it may be the effect of some kind of potion, but this opportunity is a good opportunity for the Orthodox Church and the Wizards' Assemblies, they don't need to contact the Clans, they just need to say some appropriate words at the right time, they can create the illusion of a new round of magic tides coming, and not only them, but also the Night's Watch and the Persona Society, I am afraid that there are many people secretly contributing to the trouble." If I'm not mistaken, since the advent of the Magical Tidal Theory, the Orthodox Church, the Wizards' Guild, the Clans, the Night's Watch, and the members of your Persona Society specializing in the occult have all gained some benefits, such as influence, discourse, and so on. ”

Sylvia didn't retort, but fell into deep thought.

Leo continued: "Think about it, even a scholar like Francis, who specializes in languages, has been highly used by the French Empire because of his ability to interpret the language of the gods in the past, and even the face family, a dark world organization that has not seen the light in the past, has also paid to the surface and become an officer and soldier of the French Empire. If these shady organizations are still like this, what about the Orthodox Church? The power position of the Orthodox Church must have improved a lot over the years, right?"

"Don't say it!" Sylvia interrupted Leo's words, her face was a little gloomy, and she glared at Leo fiercely, and said, "You are really a demon, as soon as you appear, you want to mess up the order of the whole world, do you know what kind of impact these speculations of yours will have if they get out?"

Leo smiled and asked Sylvia with an indifferent expression, "Will you pass it on?"

Sylvia gave Leo a blank look and said, "I still want to live." Then, as if he had figured it out, his face gradually improved, and he said, "I didn't hear anything just now, you didn't say anything, understand?"

"Understood. Leo didn't want to get involved in the big trouble, so he happily accepted Sylvia's offer.

Seeing Leo accept her proposal, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this matter is too dangerous, once it spreads, the turmoil caused will affect the entire Velonian civilization world, and countless people will die because of this incident, even the Orthodox Church cannot avoid it.

What's more, the matter of the magic tide is not a bad thing for her herself, and she is also one of the vested interests, so pretending to be deaf and dumb and forgetting about this matter is the best choice.

"Where are you going next?" Sylvia said, both changing the subject and asking the question she had just wanted to know.

Leo replied truthfully: "For the time being, it is Port of Set, in the Kingdom of England, where my friends are, and where I have several properties. After a while, you may want to take a look at other places. ”

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia's face was a little disappointed, obviously this was not the answer she wanted, but she didn't keep the other party's thoughts, in addition to the fact that the feeling was just a feeling, and more importantly, she and Leo were both very self-assertive people, and many times the decisions made would not change because of others, perhaps it was because of this similarity in personality that she still retained a trace of affection in her heart for so many years.

Seeing the disappointed look on Sylvia's face clearly, Leo couldn't help but add, driven by the impulse in his heart, "But I'm not in a hurry to return to the Kingdom of Inge, so I can stay here for a little longer." ”

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was stunned, looked at Leo like a stranger, and asked, "Are you okay......?"

"If you don't want to, forget it. Leo turned his face away, not wanting Sylvia to see his embarrassed expression, and said in a somewhat stiff tone.

The first time she saw Leo's expression, Sylvia couldn't help but laugh, which made Leo even more embarrassed, and secretly hated her impulsive words just now.
