Chapter 780: Heads-up
Back in the room, Leo freshened up and changed into a more casual outfit, and Sylvia heard his man's report and put down his work and went to the room.
"I'm back!" Leo said very normally when he saw Sylvia walk in from outside.
Sylvia didn't show too strong emotions, nodded lightly, then looked Leo up and down, and said in surprise: "You have such a big change, it seems that you have gained a lot this time!"
Sylvia could clearly feel the change in Leo, and she could smell the blood that hadn't been cleared from Leo.
"It's really rewarding. Leo nodded, and then went over his experiences in the underground ruins these days, and mentioned the temple space he had entered.
Sylvia listened patiently, asking questions from time to time, especially when he heard Leo mention the demon at the end.
There is no such monster as a demon in Velon, and she also knows about demons from Geralt and Regiel, but in her opinion, this kind of demon is very similar to the evil gods of Velon's world, and they all use certain methods to lure people into sin.
So when she heard that Leo had killed the demon, her face showed surprise.
She didn't doubt what Leo said, but instinctively felt that even if Leo used it and some special reason to increase his strength quickly, it should not have reached the point where he could kill the evil god independently.
"How strong is that demon?" Sylvia couldn't help but ask, after Leo finished telling her about killing the demon.
"Very strong. Leo thought for a moment and gave a simple answer.
"Compared to the evil gods of our world?" Sylvia asked again.
"The evil gods are a little more powerful. Leo replied truthfully, only then he added, "But I feel that its power does not seem to be fully exerted, not even at the moment of death." ”
"Are you sure he's dead?" Sylvia asked, after a moment's thought.
Leo asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I've read a lot of battles between church knights and evil gods in the Orthodox Church. Sylvia recalled it carefully and said, "It has been mentioned more than once in those sources that the evil god can come to the world in some way, but the evil god who came down is only a part of the evil god, and killing him cannot kill the real evil god. ”
"Do you think demons are ...... too" Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo suddenly thought of something, and took out the strange eyeball from the storage space.
While exploring the underground ruins, Leo encounters the Strange Monsters and other monsters summoned from another world before the fall of the Elven Kingdom, and every time he finishes those monsters, he tries to absorb the blood of those monsters with this eyeball.
This eyeball is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much blood, it can be completely absorbed, and the color of the eyeball also becomes more and more vivid with the increase of blood absorption, and produces a strong charm, so that any person or monster who sees it will have a strong desire to possess.
However, at this moment, the color of this eyeball turned black, which was an extremely black black, and the moment it was taken out, even the sunlight that came into the room from the window became a little dull under the influence of black.
"It's not really dead!" Leo felt an aura similar to that of the demon in the underground ruins, and immediately understood what was going on.
Obviously, the demon was not dead at the time, and when Leo took out the eyeball of the monster and continued to absorb the blood of the surrounding monsters as usual, it entered the eyeball with the blood, and seemed to use the eyeball as a container for recuperation.
"Familiar smell!" Sylvia muttered to herself as Leo pulled out the eyeball, with a puzzled look on her face, and then leaned forward, sniffing the eyeball, which was supposed to have no scent.
When Leo heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Is it the abyss?"
"No!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "Unlike the Abyss, it's a disgusting place. ”
Sylvia's slurred words made Leo wonder, but he soon thought of something, only to see him invoke the abyssal power in the crystallized serpent, trying to get close to the strange eyeball.
However, at the moment when it approached, black flames suddenly erupted from the eyes of the strange monster, as if resisting the approach of the abyssal power.
Seeing this scene, Leo and Sylvia both showed a look of sudden realization, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Sin Abyss!"
The area of the abyss is very large, and even the abyssal snake and the abyssal demon dragon of the abyss are not clear about how big it is, just like an ordinary person who only knows that the universe is very big, but does not know how big the universe really is.
Like the universe, there are also different worlds in the abyss, some worlds are the wreckage left behind after the destruction world slipped into the abyss, and some worlds are the worlds native to the abyss, and in these worlds there will always be one or two special worlds, and the abyss of sin is one of them.
Leo's first knowledge of the Abyss did not come from the eyes of the Abyss Serpent, but in the book of the Royal City, where it was mentioned that before the gods left Arnornd Lund, some clerics had discovered a new power other than the gods, and that power was called the fire of sin, and that the fire of sinful karma came from a mysterious place called the abyss.
It wasn't until later, after gaining knowledge about the abyss through the eyes of the Abyss Serpent, that Leo learned that the Abyss was also a part of the Abyss, but the Abyss Serpent seemed to be very disgusted with it, and also retained strong emotions in the knowledge related to the Abyss.
It is said that the abyss is a world formed by the convergence of the last bit of original sin of all the worlds that have fallen into the abyss before they are completely destroyed, and that world is full of the most primitive sins in the universe, and the life forms produced there are also the aggregates of original sin.
It's just that there is very little knowledge about the abyss, and the specific content Leo is not very clear, the only thing that can be clearly known is that everything in the abyss hates each other, but everything in the abyss hates the abyss, which is the most eye-catching sentence in the knowledge about the abyss in the eyes of the abyss snake.
So, when Sylvia said that she was disgusted with this demon-loaded eyeball, they thought of the abyss that made everything in the abyss hate.
"Are the demons of this world from the abyss of sin?" asked Leo in a muttering voice.
"I don't know!" Sylvia took the eyeball in her hand, looked at it, and said, "The bloodline memory I obtained does not contain much content in the abyss, but I know that it is a world that is more chaotic and disorderly than the abyss. Then, she suddenly said: "If this thing stays, it may be a disaster, destroy it!"
Leo shook his head slightly, and said, "I can try to see if I can get information about the Abyss from this demon, we may also encounter monsters from the Abyss in the future, so that we don't know anything when we get it." ”
Sylvia thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine." ”
After taking the eyeball from Sylvia, Leo asked Sylvia about the formation of the Knights and the establishment of the Church of the Fairies in the Lake, and Sylvia also carefully explained what had happened in the past few days, and then without waiting for Leo to ask, he talked about Geralt and Regier.
Leo was not very surprised when he heard that Geralt and Frigila Vigo had gotten along and moved to Frigila Vigo's villa estate, because he had already seen that the relationship between the two was a little ambiguous, but Geralt had not mentioned leaving Towson for a while, which surprised him a little, and he felt that there must be something strange in it.
However, Geralt's current stay in Towson is also in line with Leo's interests, and in line with what he knows about the future, so he has no intention of debunking these things.
After a brief introduction, Sylvia took Leo to meet the people who had recently joined the Knights of Light and learn about the situation here.
However, Sylvia's approach made him a lot more hostile.
In the Knights of Light, there are naturally many people who have great admiration for Sylvia, but also have some admiration, after all, Sylvia is so perfect in their eyes, just like a goddess.
Before meeting Leo, they also knew that Sylvia had a couple, but they didn't think anyone could match Sylvia, even though they had never met Leo.
Later, they heard that the couple had gone on an expedition to the underground ruins of the Elven Kingdom, so many of them prayed that the couple would be buried in the underground ruins like the other explorers.
However, now that all hope has been lost, instead of dying in the underground ruins, Leo is brought to the public by Sylvia, as if to declare her belonging, and many people's hearts are broken.
As a result, many impulsive knight squires ran out to challenge Leo.
Faced with this situation, Sylvia just stood by and smiled, without the slightest intention of saying anything to stop it.
Seeing Sylvia's expression, Leo understood why Sylvia couldn't wait to bring him here and introduce him to the Knights, apparently wanting him to get rid of those who had nothing to do around her.
Leo naturally had no reason to refuse, turned around and casually found two knightly wooden swords for practice on the playground, and then asked all the people who challenged him to go together.
Seeing Leo so arrogant, everyone felt extremely angry, even the few knights who followed Sylvia first were a little dissatisfied, because several of the people who challenged were their squires.
The knights present were not like Geralt, they had seen Leo's strength, they had only heard that Leo was strong, even stronger than Sylvia.
They had seen Sylvia's strength and could easily deal with a dozen bandits, but they all subconsciously thought that the reason why Sylvia was so powerful was mainly because of the armor and those few weapons blessed by the gods, and Sylvia's true strength was only equivalent to three or four full-fledged knights at most in their opinion.
And now Leo actually wants all the people who challenge him to go together, which can't be described as arrogant, and can only be called crazy.
Among these people, although there are only five or six knights, there are many knight squires, there are more than forty people, and the strength of each of these knight squires will not be much worse than that of the official knights, as long as the time is right, they can successfully become knights, Leo challenging them is equivalent to challenging forty or fifty knights, this kind of crazy thing is not to mention Towsente, even in the Niffergard Empire.
However, Leo didn't give them much time to think at all, and seeing that they weren't ready to make a move, he rushed over directly and knocked down the knight who was the first to stand up and challenge just now.
Leo's move was definitely a sneak attack, so it completely angered the knights present and aroused their jealousy, and everyone drew their weapons one after another, regardless of whether they had a knight's sword in their hands or not, and attacked Leo.
In the face of attacks from all directions, Leo dodged the attacking sword as easily as a fish in the water, and each swing of the wooden sword in his hand could make one or two knights or knight squires fall to the ground.
In less than five minutes, the knights and knight squires who fell to the ground on the training ground in the manor, while the other knights and knight squires who did not participate in the siege stood around the field and watched all this dumbfounded.
This kind of battle was not even a warm-up for Leo, he turned and walked to the weapon rack, placed the knight's wooden sword in his hand on it, and then said to Sylvia with a smile on his face, "Let's go! Let's go meet the witcher and the sorceress and see what they think of the demons?"
Sylvia nodded, then ordered the attendants to take the people on the ground to the manor's infirmary for treatment, and then left the manor with Leo.
Until the figures of the two completely disappeared at the end of the road outside the manor, the manor training ground was still quiet, obviously everyone did not expect such a result, nor did they expect that the strength of their knight leader couple would be so strong, it can be said that it is inhuman.
Even the knights who had participated in the Sylvia Knights' Five Virtues Baptism Ceremony before were surprised by such a result, they all felt the suppression of Leo's life form from the superiors, but they all thought that it was because Leo might have an extraordinary identity and status, just like the emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire, who would always invisibly reveal a trace of power, which made people involuntarily feel afraid.
But they never imagined that Leo would have such strength, and easily eliminated forty or fifty knights and knight squires, if such a record was placed on the battlefield, then it could only be described as a god of knights.
