The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Compared with the information provided by Fringilla Vigo, the various information provided by Regil are obviously much more practical, not only the map of the elf ruins close to the surface, but also a large number of information on underground monsters. Most of the monsters have mutated due to environmental reasons. With these materials, Leo can be more prepared.

In addition, Leo also refined some wizard potions, not only for himself, but also for Sylvia.

Although with Sylvia's own strength, together with Geralt, Regil and the knights following her, it is almost impossible to be in danger in Toussaint, but in order to avoid accidents, he still prepared for Sylvia Some medicines used to improve physical fitness and treat injuries.

Because of Fringilla Vigo, the Duchess of Toussaint's concerns about Sylvia have also dissipated a lot, and she no longer rejects Sylvia's formation of the Knights, and let Fringella Bring a word to Sylvia, if Sylvia is willing, she can confer the title of Knight of Witousent, and allow her to form a knight order, and accept the principality's employment to inspect the principality's borders.

As for Sylvia, she was originally just to fulfill her dream of being a knight for many years, and she was not very interested in forming a knight order. Leo and Leo will leave this world sooner or later, so she wants to leave something in this world to prove that she has been here, so she also officially began to consider forming a knight order.

For the vast majority of people, forming a knight order is not a simple matter. It is not just a matter of gathering a few knights and announcing the establishment of the knight order. It involves the structure, rules, personnel authority and so on of the knight order. A series of complicated matters, not to mention an ordinary person, even a knowledgeable aristocrat may be overwhelmed by these matters.

But these things that have caused headaches for others and took several years to sort out, have become the easiest things for Sylvia, because she has a well-established French Knights as a template for the Knights , Whether it is the internal rules and regulations, or the staffing, and even the badge of the Knights, she has copied it as it is.

In order to form the Knights, a noble and respected old knight, Grace of Maribor, was selected from among the knights gathered around him as his assistant. It has been preliminarily completed, and it is waiting for Sylvia to go to Bauclair to be a knight.

For this reason, Sylvia decided to go to Bauclair with Leo, and let Leo participate in his own ceremony before going to the underground elf ruins.

"Yes." Hearing Sylvia's request, Leo nodded and agreed, and then said: "However, before that, we should go to a place, which may make your knight status more justifiable, even better than It must be formal to be canonized by the Duchess."

Sylvia was stunned after hearing this, but soon realized something, and asked, "Is it the island in the center of Lake Selavi?"

Leo nodded and said: "The knights in Toussaint believe in the five virtues of knights, and the source of the five virtues of knights is the fairy of the lake. Obviously, the fairy of the lake is the same as the lady of the lake in our world. exist."

"Are you sure?" Sylvia asked.

"I have the lady of the lake on me. When I'm close to Lake Sailawei, I can feel her presence, and she can also feel my presence." Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia, and said: "As long as We went to the island in the center of Lake Seravi, and under the attention of other people, you were awarded the knighthood of the Fairy of the Lake, so that there will be no accidents in your canonization in Bauclair."

Sylvia smiled and said, "Do you think there will be accidents when I accept the canonization in Bauclair?"

"Didn't you also notice it? Instead of following what Fringilla said, you went directly to Bauclair, but stayed here, and first set up the basic framework of the Knights," Leo gently shook Sylvia's hand. hand, said: "And with your strong personality, if you don't really feel unsure, how can you let me stay and wait until things are confirmed before going to the underground elf ruins?"

Sylvia didn't deny that she just leaned on Leo's body without saying anything superfluous.

The next day, Sylvia summoned several prestigious knights under her command, saying that she would go to the island in the middle of the lake to receive the baptism of the female fairy knight Wu De in the lake, and let them be the spectators.

For Sylvia's proposal, her subordinates are naturally willing to obey, and also think that Sylvia, as a knight of light, is fully qualified to accept the baptism of the knight's five virtues, but they are still a little uneasy in their hearts, and they don't know that Sylvia The baptism that Sylvia received was completely different from what they thought of as baptism.

Although the story of the fairy and the knight Wude in Towson Lake is almost a household name, because no one has ever seen the fairy of the lake, most people in the folk do not think that the fairy of the lake really exists. In Towson There is also no church or other religious organization of the Lady of the Lake.

The reason why Toussaint connected the fairy in the lake with the five virtues of the knights is mainly because of the lake center pool and the five ancient stone tablets around the pool on the lake center island of Lake Selavi, on which the knights must obey The five virtues of honor, wisdom, generosity, bravery and compassion, and the bottomless pool in the center of the lake is said to lead to the palace of the fairy in the lake.

There is a default ceremony among the knights in Toussaint. As long as a knight is recognized as possessing the five virtues of the knight, then that knight is eligible to go to the island in the center of the lake to receive the baptism of the five virtues of the knight, and this knight has received the baptism of the five virtues The glory and prestige possessed by the knights will far exceed even the champion of the knight conference.

But not everyone is qualified to go to the island in the middle of the lake. If those knights with insufficient five virtues go to the island in the middle of the lake, they will either lose their way due to the thick fog in the lake and never be able to reach the island in the middle of the lake, or they will be on the lake. But Xindao could never find the five steles engraved with the five virtues of knights.

So even those knights who respect Sylvia think that Sylvia is eligible to be baptized with the five virtues, but they still feel a little uneasy. The stele, then her newly established reputation may be severely hit by it, so they feel uneasy.

However, if Sylvia can successfully get the baptism of the five virtues of the knights, then the establishment of the knights will become smooth sailing, and there will be no more obstacles in principle. The only thing to be careful is those who do not want the new knights to appear. people.

It is not enough to just ask the knights within the Knights to watch the ceremony, and other people must be invited, so Sylvia invited Geralt and Fringilla Vigo, and also invited two Toussaints through the sorceress. Some famous nobles, as spectators.

The next day, Sylvia and Leo, who were fully armed, came to the shore of Lake Seravi, where the specially prepared boat docked, and the others were already waiting here.

Among these people, only Geralt had seen Leo wearing the armor of the abyss, the others had only heard of Leo, but had never seen Leo's full body armor, especially those knights who were the first Seeing Leo himself for the first time.

These knights who voluntarily followed Sylvia knew that the person they were following had a partner, but they had never seen one, and they felt that a knight as perfect as Sylvia should not have a partner, so they were always concerned about the existence of Leo. There is a certain resentment.

However, after seeing Leo, they all lowered their heads involuntarily, because they felt that Leo had an inexplicable power, which was even ten times stronger than the Duchess of Toussaint they saw. , a hundred times, facing this kind of power made them tremble in the depths of their souls.

The knight was not bad, but the other two nobles who were invited to watch the ceremony seemed to have seen something terrible, their legs were weak, and they almost sat on the ground.

And Fringilla Vigo, who had met Leo a few days ago, was also surprised and surprised by the changes in Leo's body at this moment, because the invisible power emanating from Leo's body at this moment reminded her of Ni Emhyr Enris, the emperor of the Fergard Empire, was even more powerful than that emperor.

However, Fringilla Vigo didn't think it was because of any changes in Leo's body, but felt that Leo's current power came from the gorgeous and mysterious armor on his body.

However, the sorceress didn't know that the purpose of this armor was not to create power, but to suppress power.

Because with the continuous development of physical potential, the suppression of the life level that Leo should have from higher life forms is becoming more and more intense. Because of Sylvia's special blood, it is not enough for Leo's gradually increasing power. Especially sensitive, but others can clearly feel Leo's changes.

With his current power, if he is not blocked by the abyssal armor on his body, let alone ordinary people, except for Fringilla Vigo and Geralt who can barely withstand this power, everyone else will definitely be overwhelmed by this power. This kind of power is suppressed to lie on the ground, just like facing a god. This kind of suppression of the essence of life cannot be changed by the size of strength.

"Everyone is here, let's go." After arriving at the dock, Leo looked at the crowd, and without saying anything, he went directly to the boat next to him and said.

Sylvia also nodded, motioning for others to get on the boat, and then the group rowed towards the central island in the center of Lake Seravi ahead.

After the boat was halfway there, thick fog began to form on the lake, and everyone knew that this was the test.

However, what happened next surprised and shocked everyone.

Because according to the notes left by the knights who were baptized by the five virtues, after the dense fog, the only thing the people on the boat can do is to row, and only those who have the qualifications of the five virtues can finally row the boat to the lake. Xindao, and other unqualified people will paddle and paddle back to the shore where they set off before, and the thick fog on the lake will disappear when the boat docks.

But the scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was completely different. In the dense fog that had just been created, a straight passage appeared in the fog, dividing the dense fog into two layers, forming two high-rise walls tens of meters high. Foggy walls, and the end of the channel is the island in the middle of the lake.

"The Fairy of the Lake! This is the Fairy of the Lake!" A knight immediately shouted in surprise.

Grace of Maribor, who was appointed by Sylvia as an assistant, immediately echoed: "Yes! It is the fairy of the lake who agrees with the five knight virtues of Lord Sylvia, so there is no need to test the Lord, and directly open a channel The road to the island in the middle of the lake."

Hearing what Knight Grace said, the two nobles nodded approvingly, and paid more respect to Sylvia who was fully armed.

It's just that they didn't know that at this time Sylvia was also surprised by the scene in front of her, and secretly tapped Leo's palm a few times with her fingers, as if asking if all this was done by Leo.

Leo's answer was to shake his head slightly, indicating that it was not his fault, and pointed to the island in the middle of the lake with his finger.

With the imprint of the lady in the lake, he can clearly feel the existence of the fairy in the lake at this moment, and the fairy in the lake can also sense him, and the fog generated on the lake is what the fairy in the lake gave to the lake before. Due to the established rules, the passage that appears now is an invitation from the fairy of the lake, but what she invited was not Sylvia, but Leo.

The group soon arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. After boarding the island, the mist on the lake dissipated. They found a trail opened by the predecessors in the woods on the island, and walked through a small hill and a dense forest. Afterwards, they arrived at the lake center pool smoothly, and they all saw the ancient stele of the five virtues of the knight.

At this time, all the accompanying knights knelt on one knee to pay respects to the stele of the five virtues of the knights, while Sylvia walked to the lake center pool alone. What she needs to do now is very simple, hold the water in the pool , poured on his head.

After coming to the pool, Sylvia looked at the bottomless pool. Although she couldn't see anything, she could feel that there was something in the pool watching her.

Afterwards, she took off the helmet, took off the gauntlets, took the pool water with both hands, and poured it on top of her head.

Seeing that Sylvia finished this seemingly simple ceremony, all the knights kneeling on one knee cheered, and the two Toussaint nobles also bowed to Sylvia to show their respect .

And just when Sylvia stood up and was about to turn around and leave, the pool suddenly had an abnormal reaction, and saw rays of light emanating from the pool, making people feel as if there was a sun in the pool, and everyone present was shocked. I was so stunned by this sight that I was completely speechless.
