Just when the young man bowed his head, a ray of light emerged from the lake. The long sword in the young man's hand was originally just an ordinary steel sword, but now it shone with a soft silver light, and from the hilt of the sword,

The sword began to change, with a large number of mysterious and mysterious patterns appearing on it. These patterns did not just stay on the sword, but also along the young man's hand holding the sword and the hilt of the sword.

His forehead spread to his body.

I don't know if he felt pain as a young man or for other reasons. In short, when the pattern spread to his body, he fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Not long after the young man fell to the ground, those mysterious patterns spread to his body, and then disappeared into his body. The light also weakened and disappeared, while the light on the lake remained unchanged.

At this time, Leo, who was hiding behind the woods, also walked out and came to the lake.

The moment Leo stood by the lake, the light gushing on the lake began to converge, and finally concentrated together, forming a blurry light person.

Although the appearance of the light man was a bit blurry and seemed to be scattered at any time, Leo was still able to identify the light man from the blurry appearance as the lady in the lake.

"Hello, madam." Leo saluted the lady in the lake.

The lady in the lake also nodded to him, and then seemed to want to say something to Leo, but the words she spoke turned into a series of piercing screams, and these screams were only directed at Leo.

Although this burst of chirping did not cause any harm to Leo, it made Leo feel a little uncomfortable and made him feel as if he was back in the maintenance room of a war base.

The lady in the lake also realized her problem, immediately stopped talking, and then made some gestures towards Leo.

These gestures looked like waving arms randomly, but Leo was able to judge from certain movements and the positions of the gestures that what the lady in the lake meant was that what she said could no longer be heard.

"You mean that all the languages ​​you speak now cannot be heard or understood by others, right?" Leo asked confirmingly.

Seeing that Leo understood what he meant, the lady in the lake nodded immediately.

At this time, Leo also thought of the taboo mentioned at the beginning of a religious classic he had read. God is unknowable, invisible, unheard, and unspeakable.

The current lady in the lake obviously fits these four taboos very well. For example, her current appearance and body shape have all turned into a blur of light, and what she just said changes into shape in Leo's ears.

into a loud noise, etc.

"Is this happening because of the changes in the world?" Leo confirmed again.

The lady in the lake nodded again.

Leo discovered through the current Lady in the Lake that the impact of the world change does not necessarily seem to be beneficial to the gods of Velen's world.

It is true that with the changes, the power of these Velen world gods began to gradually recover. At least from the lady in the lake in front of him, Leo could feel that the energy fluctuations in her body were more powerful than any lady in the lake he had encountered before.

, but the lady in the lake is also subject to the most restrictions in the world.

Before, the Lady in the Lake that Leo met could reveal the form of a human woman in front of him. Although this form of a human woman may be just an illusion created by the Lady in the Lake with her divine power, this illusion is different from the real form.

There is no difference.

But now the lady in the lake is not only unable to form illusions, she can't even make people hear normal speech. This shows that while the power of the gods is increasing, there is also an additional layer of shackles on them. This is not a problem for the church in the Velen world.

A good thing.

In the past, when gods sent oracles to mortals, they always appeared in front of people and then informed the oracles. Therefore, there was never a case where the gods misunderstood the oracles.

But now if the gods cannot appear in real form in front of believers, or even give clear and simple oracles, then the connection between the church’s believers and the gods will no longer be as close as before, and the gods’ oracles will not even be

It may be a misunderstanding, and not everyone has the ability to tell the difference between others through energy fluctuations like Leo. Most other people can only see the surface light and shadow, which makes it easy for some hidden evil gods to be able to tell the difference.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

It can be seen that in the near future, whether it is the Velen continent or the other two continents, there will probably be many disputes due to religion and gods.

While Leo was thinking about the changes that the changes in the world had brought to the gods and the church, the lady in the lake was also observing Leo. She seemed to have discovered something in Leo, and then reached out to Leo.

However, when the lady in the lake was about to touch Leo, Leo suddenly became alert and took a step back, just enough to avoid the hand extended by the lady in the lake.

The lady in the lake was not angry either. He made some more gestures towards Leo, but this time the meaning of the gestures was obviously more complicated, so that his gestures were extremely confusing, and even Leo could not understand them.

.

Seeing Leo's confused look, the lady in the lake thought for a moment, and then saw several light groups suddenly appearing around him. One of the light groups turned into Leo's appearance, and the other several light groups

The group turned into the lady in the lake, and followed several light groups to different places. The light group representing Leo passed by one after another, as if meeting him.

Only one light group was far away from the other light groups and was covered by the water mist deliberately created by the lady in the lake. The light group representing Leo passed through the water mist and came to meet that light group.

At this time, the lady in the lake pointed at the light group shrouded in water mist and said a few words.

Although these words still sounded like harsh noise in Leo's ears, Leo already understood what the lady in the lake meant.

Leo nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have seen another you in a world with demon hunters, sorceresses and various monsters. She is the representative of the knight's virtues in that world."

After hearing Leo's words, although he couldn't see the expression on the lady in the lake's face, Leo could still feel that the lady in the lake seemed very happy, as if this news was extremely important to her.

Then I saw the light group created by the Lady in the Lake regrouping and turning into two light groups representing Leo and the Lady in the Lake. Then I saw the light group of the Lady in the Lake touching Leo's light group.

, and then took away a ray of light from Leo's light group.

Seeing this scene, Leo was a little surprised and said, "You mean the other you left something on me, for you?"

The lady in the lake nodded, then said nothing else, as if she was waiting for Leo to make a decision.

Leo thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to the lady in the lake.

The lady in the lake also showed joy when she saw this, and then she couldn't wait to reach out and touch Leo's palm.

Leo only felt a coolness in his palm, and then he found that a power so weak that it could not be detected appeared out of thin air in his body, and then flowed out along his arm and palm.

After getting what she wanted, the lady in the lake still needed to further analyze the details before she could obtain the secrets contained in it, so she did not stay any longer, turned around, and prepared to return to the lake.

However, after moving a certain distance, he suddenly stopped and moved back again. Then he motioned for Leo not to move, then he leaned over, kissed Leo's forehead gently, and then dived directly into the lake.

, disappeared with the light reaching into the sky.

According to all legends, those who are kissed by the Lady of the Lake will receive the blessing of the Lady of the Lake. However, there is no unified answer to what the Lady of the Lake's blessing is. Some blessings are power, such as the Knight King of Fran.

, some blessings come from bravery, such as those knights who have left a great name in history, and some people receive luck, such as mentioned in a certain folklore, who can survive ninety battles and still live a long life.

The legendary soldier.

Leo didn't know what blessing he had received, but he was sure that he was definitely not suitable for power and bravery, because power was of no use to him. It was impossible for the lady in the lake not to know that. As for bravery, he did not feel it at all in that kiss.

any powerful force.

As for luck, he is not very clear about this, and he never believes in luck. In his opinion, ability is everything, and luck is just because the ability is strong enough.

After confirming that the Lady of the Lake had left, Leo had no intention of staying any longer. However, before he left, he checked the identities of these bounty mercenaries, especially the young bounty mercenary who had been gifted by the Lady of the Lake.

According to past experience, any mortal who is gifted by the Lady of the Lake will eventually become a legend who stirs up changes in a country, and this young man is probably no exception.

Leo wrote down his identity and told it to Sylvia when he returned to Castle Black, asking Sylvia to send people to win over this person and control this man who would become a man of the United Kingdom in the future.

Leo, who was back on the road, happened to encounter a group of elk and camels that lived in the Dibia Mountains not long after leaving the lake.

The elk and moose look very similar to deer, but they are actually two species because they have completely different numbers of hoof lobes.

Elk camels are not native creatures in the Dibia Mountains. They come from the jungles of the Moissan continent. These elk camels should have been ornamental animals that were captured from the wild and transported to Milia City Natural Park in the past.

However, with the destruction of Milia City, the natural park ceased to exist. The animals that were kept there and could not return to their natural state all died, and those animals that returned to nature became wild animals.

Looking for a suitable habitat for yourself and your group, the current herd of elk and camels is obviously one of the animals that has found a suitable habitat.

Leo did not attack these moose camels, but controlled these moose camels through spiritual energy, using them as means of transportation. He would change to another moose camel after a certain distance, without stopping all the way. Before dawn, he had already

When we arrived at the Bryn Valley, we saw a small valley village with most of its buildings already built.

Leo dispersed the spiritual energy controlling the herd of elk and camels, released these transportation tools, and then used his spiritual net to explore the small valley village ahead.

Just like what Leo felt in Hanlock City, many powerful interference devices were also used in this small valley village. These interference devices created protective force fields to prevent extraordinary forces from approaching or penetrating.

The security of the village far exceeds that of some of the highest institutions in the United Kingdom.

However, just like dealing with the interference devices of those institutions, the mental network skill with strong anti-interference ability quickly found the loopholes in these interference protection forces when approaching the small village in the valley, and penetrated through the loopholes to understand what was inside.

Condition.

As Leo knew, this was indeed the headquarters of the Salvation Society, and the dual emblems of the Lord of the Sky Church and the Salvation Society could be seen in the houses that had been built.

The members of these salvation societies are fanatical believers. Even if it is not during prayer time, as long as there is nothing at hand, they will take out a prayer book, find a prayer in it and recite it devoutly.

However, these people are not all members of the Salvation Society. According to their own conversations, Leo knew that not long ago, Archbishop Mager, who controlled the Salvation Society, led a team of elite priests, all with extraordinary power, into the cracks of the mountain stream.

and climbed down into the mountain stream and abyss.

Originally, according to the plan of the rescue group, this group of people just went to test the situation, and had no in-depth plan. They would come back before dark. However, the final result was that none of the group of people appeared again, and even went up the mountain stream.

I shouted, but there was no response.

The remaining people also knew that something must have happened to that team, so some people suggested organizing another team to go deep into the mountain stream to see if they could find the first missing team of Naxi.

However, not everyone supports this proposal. Many of those who stayed behind believe that they should no longer send people to recklessly explore the situation in the mountain stream and abyss. Instead, they feel that the matter here should be reported to the church sanctuary and let the church

Send people to assist to reduce the casualties of the Rescue Society.

You must know that these people at the bottom of Breen Valley are all members of the Salvation Society in the church. Once there are more casualties, the Salvation Society may even be completely wiped out from the Sky Lord Church.

Because of some of the crazy behaviors of the Salvation Society and the strict membership review, the number of members of the Salvation Society has never been very large. Most people in the church are more or less repulsive to the Salvation Society, and the Salvation Society cannot absorb enough new blood.

, once there are casualties among members of the Salvation Society, it will be difficult for the Salvation Society to make up for the gap.

And according to the rules of the Lord of the Sky Church, as long as the number of members of a faction within the church falls below a certain number, the faction will be automatically cancelled. Therefore, in the villages in the Bryn Valley, rescue teams are not sent to preserve the voices of the members.
