Chapter 100: The Gift of the Ancient Gods

Sylvia didn't know how ugly Rupert Fitz's expression was right now, and she was only concerned about the safety of her betrayed allies and men.

After hearing Claudia's analysis, she felt more and more that the damage caused by this betrayal should be recoverable.

So she couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately decided to go back to the city now.

Naturally, the two Church Knights followed, and although they were not allowed to participate in secular power struggles due to the rules of the Holy See, they were able to protect Sylvia for a period of time in the name of protecting the Inquisitor of the Gods.

On the contrary, Claudia, the lady in black, did not plan to leave now, but stayed in the hunting house.

Seeing Leo and Claudia alone in a remote mountain hut, Sylvia felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but now that the matter was important, she didn't say anything, took the two church knights, and left the hunting house quickly, as if out of sight and out of mind.

After Sylvia left, there was no such thing as men and women in Sylvia's mind inside the hunting house.

After drinking a little hot drink, Claudia took a blanket from the cupboard, spread it on the floor by the fireplace, and fell asleep.

Leo didn't take the extra person in the room seriously, leaning against the firewood by the fireplace, closing his eyes and recuperating, in fact, his attention had shifted to the personal data interface, looking at the effect of the Old God's gift from the previous sacrifice.

Although strength, agility, and constitution all increase by one basic value, compared to the strength and agility that only reach nine points, with a one-point increase in the base value, if you measure it by a constitution that just crosses the ten-point threshold, the value of this base value far exceeds the two base values of strength and agility.

Because he reached the eleventh point of physique base value, Leo's body silently completed a life evolution, which is why Leo felt that his body was a little different.

Although it does not show the change of his body after evolution in terms of values, Leo feels that his physical strength is not much longer than that of the president of the Skull and Bones Club that day, especially the defense of the body should not be weaker than that of the president of the Skull and Bones Club at that time, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to use ordinary cold weapons to cause damage to his body.

This is not all the benefits that have been reaped after the evolution of the body, other benefits include the strengthening of the five senses such as vision and hearing, the strengthening of internal organs, etc., but these benefits are nothing compared to the improvement of the chaotic stomach pouch.

Although the improvement of the chaotic stomach pouch this time did not have an effect on the absorption power of the stomach pouch, and it was still low, the maximum value of the gastric pouch energy storage increased to 1,000, a full 500 points.

The change in the energy storage value of the chaotic stomach pouch also allowed Leo to see the evolution method of this higher biological organ, that is, to make the body evolve as a whole and promote the organs to evolve together.

It's just that the next big evolution of the body won't happen until the base value of the constitution crosses twenty points. If you are lucky, you will be able to accumulate it quickly, and if you are unlucky, you may need several years to complete the accumulation.

If the evolution of the body is just an unexpected surprise, then the significant increase in will and spirit up to ten points of base value should be regarded as the highlight of the gift of the ancient gods.

Because of this large increase in base value, the psionic skills related to these two personal qualities have also been changed.

For example, after the basic value of Will exceeds 40 points, the activation time of the mechanical will skill is doubled to 6 minutes, and the cooldown time is reduced to 20 hours, which is the biggest surprise for Leo.

As for the psionic control talent linked to the spiritual basic value, the control accuracy level was automatically increased to the second level, and he also automatically evolved to the third-level psionic because the spiritual basic value exceeded thirty points.

The most obvious change in becoming a Level 3 Psionic is that Leo can more easily control psionic energy releases, and with a little practice, he can also create pure psionic attacks such as psionic shockwaves.

Although this gift from the Old Gods did not change Leo's whole person drastically, he still benefited a lot from the improvement of his personal data.

It's just that he has always stayed away from the Twin Sacrifice Knife Mode in his heart, and he has never thought of using the method of sacrificing to obtain the gift of the ancient gods to improve his strength.

This time, Leo felt that he had been forcibly pulled into the subspace by the sacrificial sword, and he was lucky not to be noticed by the Lord of Chaos and Lightness, otherwise, he would not be sure how much of a role his mechanical will could play in the face of such a powerful creature.

So it's enough to experience such a thing once, and if you continue to experience it, sooner or later the boat will capsize, and it is unknown whether he will be able to escape alive from the other party's gaze at that time.

After learning about his own changes, Leo did not show any happy expression, always had a calm expression, and sat by the fireplace, resting with his eyes closed, while controlling the shape of the psionic energy in his hands, and soon the night passed.

After waking up in the morning, Leo and Claudia sorted out their belongings and left the hunting house and headed for the station outside the hunting grounds.

Along the way, the two of them had no intention of talking, Leo simply didn't want to talk, and part of his energy was spent on training psionic energy to control it accurately, while Claudia had some scruples, looking at Leo's eyes was more of a scrutiny and curiosity.

Finally, after getting on the train back to the city, Claudia, who had put on the veil again, suddenly said to Leo: "Ljungberg, frightened!"

"What?" Leo, who was concentrating on controlling the psionic energy, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Claudia puzzled while dissipating the psionic energy in his hand.

Claudia looked at Leo with interest and said, "Outside Anne's hospital that day, Ljungberg was frightened by you, I've never seen Ljungberg behave like that...... Panic, fear, maybe a little bit, what were you talking to him in that neighborhood park? ”

Seeing the woman in front of him say the embarrassment of his companion like this, Leo didn't know how to answer for a while, so he was silent for a while, and said: "It was all he said at the time, I was just listening, but I had the idea of killing him, just like now." ”

As he spoke, Leo used the reverse spiritism method to amplify his killing intent tenfold and directly transmitted it to Claudia, and Claudia immediately reacted instinctively to escape, and her body turned into a black shadow in the blink of an eye, and along the shadows connected to each other in the seats, it instantly moved to the entrance and exit of the carriage farthest away from Leo.

Fortunately, because it was early in the morning, there was no one else in this carriage except the two of them, otherwise, if someone saw this shocking scene, it would definitely cause a commotion.

Claudia, who was standing at the entrance and exit of the carriage, seemed to be unable to calm down for a long time, although her face was veiled and her expression could not be seen clearly, but from her undulating chest, she needed to hold on to the wall to stand firmly, and it could be judged that she was scared a lot just now.

Seeing this scene, Leo felt that perhaps it was because he broke through the third level of psionic energy yesterday, which caused the power of spiritism to change, otherwise, the other party would not have had such a huge reaction, and the other party was still a night watchman who had gone through countless actual battles.

Although Leo wanted to ask Claudia how she was feeling now, no matter how low his emotional intelligence was, he knew that now was definitely not the time to ask such a question, so he leaned back in his chair as before, turned his head to look at the changing scene outside the window, and silently trained psionic control.

Claudia, who had gradually eased up, seemed to be overly frightened, and her eyes became very frightened when she looked at Leo, and instead of choosing to sit next to Leo, she chose a seat near the door of the carriage and sat down far away.

I don't know if it's because of the fear of Leo, or because of her own trouble, Claudia just got off the train at the first stop of the city, and disappeared into the station without looking back.

Leo still sat at the joint station of the three embassy districts in the United States, and after getting off the bus, he went directly to the Sky Tower in the United States, ready to see Emily's situation.

Compared to yesterday, the streets of Miria seem to have become much more tense today, and from time to time the patrol can be seen patrolling the streets and interrogating every suspicious person.

Someone like Leo, who was clearly armed, was the focus of the interrogation, and he had only walked a block before he had already been questioned twice.

Noticing that something was wrong, Leo beckoned to the newsboy who was leaning against the door of a shop, bought three copies of the main morning newspaper of Miria City from him, and flipped through them.

The front pages of all the newspapers were still reporting the news of the Speaker's murder, as well as some precautions taken by the Ministry of Security in Miria City, and there did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn't until he saw the news that the fourth page of the newspaper recorded that many gangs and skeletons in Xicheng District were fighting for territory, and that there had been many unexplained conflicts in other parts of Miria City, that he understood why the atmosphere in the city was so tense today.

Obviously, when Sylvia returned to the city last night, she directly used the simplest and most brutal way to solve the crisis caused by the exposure of her subordinates and allies.

In Sylvia's opinion, since it was exposed, she simply stood up, directly clashed with Rupert Fitz's people, made things bigger, and used the power of the police and security department of Miria City to block all the underlying forces on both sides, so that the two would return to a starting point.

Judging from the newspapers and the atmosphere in the city today, the effect seems to be good, but this only suppresses the forces at the bottom of the two sides, and how to protect and use the high-level allies of the two sides will probably take a long time for Sylvia.

In order to avoid being stopped for questioning again, Leo did not choose to walk again, but stopped a high-end carriage and rode it to the Sky Tower.

Soon the carriage drove to the Sky Tower, and after Leo got out of the car, he walked directly to the cloister inside the Sky Tower. Although the entrance to the cloister was still guarded, he recognized Leo, so he did not intercept it, and only sent a priest to lead the way.

At the door of Sylvia's room, two church knights stood on either side of the door, and when they saw Leo, they nodded at him and said hello.

"Come in! The door is unlocked. Leo stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to hear a man's voice from inside the door.

Leo frowned, pushed the door open, and walked in. In the room, Emily was still lying on an unknown hide, unconscious, but the person sitting next to Emily was a man, or more accurately, a man.

Leo closed the door and said to the handsome man with two pretty mustaches, "What shall I call you now? Sylvia, or Baron Maupassant?"

"Is it so hard that I can still see Sylvia's shadow now?" said Baron Maupassant, standing up, turning in circles, and making a few fancy movements with a cane.

Leo had a look of hesitation on his face, because just as Baron Maupassant turned around, he used the spirit net to check the other party's physical condition.

Although there was also a disturbing energy force field in this room, because of the increase in the psionic energy level last night, he was able to erase the influence of the interfering energy force field in a short period of time by injecting more psionic energy into the spiritual net.

Because he only needed to check Baron Maupassant's body and didn't need to do anything else, Leo's psionic energy consumption was not large.

And after scanning the spiritual net that was reconstructed last night, Leo found that this Baron Maupassant was a pure man, and there were many parts of a man that should be there, and there were no parts that should not be there.

"You're not Sylvia, what is your relationship with Sylvia?" Leo asked in a deep voice, completely confused.

Baron Maupassant asked with interest, "Do you care much about my relationship with Sylvia?"

Leo felt that the Baron Maupassant in front of him was really a little weird, and his behavior was very feminine, not the kind of pretentious femininity formed by the sissy of men, but a kind of woman's posture and temperament, but this kind of posture and temperament looked extremely strange when placed on a man.

Leo frowned slightly, then said, "I'm just thinking about whether it's appropriate for Emily to stay here?"

When Baron Maupassant heard this, he pursed his lips again and said, "Don't worry, she is very good here, and an environment like the Sky Tower is very suitable for her to recover." ”

Leo went up to check on Emily's body and found that all her body organs had fully recovered, and the only thing that was uncertain was whether her brain was damaged.

In addition, Leo didn't know if he had a delusion, he suddenly felt that Emily seemed to be much more beautiful today than yesterday, so he took a closer look at Emily's face, not to mention that Emily's freckles on the other parts of her face were indeed much less, just a little on the bridge of her nose and on both sides of her nose.
