The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Moore Peak is a mountain located on the north side of Moore City. This is the highest mountain in the surrounding area. The mountain is covered with snow all year round, there is no vegetation, only some gravel, and there is no smooth road around to reach the top, all of which are on both sides. The steep road of the cliff, if you are not careful, you may slip off the cliff next to it.

However, in such an environment, on the only road leading to Moore Peak, the Belmont family set up three very eye-catching checkpoints, which happened to be stuck in the narrowest part of the road, and wanted to go to the top of Moore Peak. Unless people climb directly from the cliffs on both sides, if they want to reach the top of the mountain, they must pass through these checkpoints, and these checkpoints are guarded by ten heretical knights specially trained by the Belmont family all the year round. Here, with the arrangement inside the checkpoint, almost any trespassers can be blocked.

The reason why I say it is almost because these three checkpoints have been breached, and not by many people, but by one person.

On the way, perhaps because it was too boring to bury her head in the mountains, Miranda also casually told Leo and Sylvia about what happened here in the past, as if telling a story.

All along, the Church of the True God and other forces have wanted to know where the mysterious Belmont Castle is located, and such an eye-catching place as Moore Peak has naturally not escaped their sight. They feel that there must be a road leading to Belmont Castle on the top of Moore Peak. secret.

However, even if they had guesses in their hearts, they could not be sure whether the guesses were true or not, because they couldn't get to Moore Peak at all. Based on the three checkpoints of Moore Peak and the garrison inside, they would have to send at least a thousand people. It is only possible for the army to break through these checkpoints by storming with human lives.

Ke Moore Peak is located in the hinterland of the Belmont family's fief. Not to mention the distant towns, the Moore City under Moore Peak alone is inhabited by the Belmont family's side branches and foreign surname families that have academic relations with the Belmont family. The number of vassal families, so for so many years, even if all parties feel that there is a problem with Moore Peak, they have never been able to understand the situation.

Later, a certain member of the Justice Church received divine grace three times, and the Paladin felt that his strength was close to that of a demigod, so he ran to Moore Peak alone and directly broke into Moore Peak.

Although the heretical knights stationed by Moore Peak are very powerful and have a geographical advantage, they are naturally unable to resist such a powerful paladin. The three outposts were directly penetrated, half of the thirty heretic knights died, and the other half were also disabled. .

And just after the paladin climbed Mount Moore, the paladin died. No one knew the cause of death, not even the Belmont family like Miranda. Only the Dukes of Belmont knew it was What killed the nearly demigod paladin whose remains of the Church of Justice paladin are still on Mount Moore.

Sylvia asked curiously, "Why don't you remove the remains of the paladin, which should be of great research value?"

"We also know this, but we can't do it, not only we can't do it, but even the Pope of the Justice Church can't do it." Miranda shrugged and said: "I can't tell the specific situation. You'll find out when you reach the top of the mountain."

Although the steep and dangerous mountain climbing road is very difficult to walk, the worst of the group has the strength of the Holy God Church paladin. It is not difficult to walk on such a mountain road, and the travel speed is also very fast.

Although Leo and Sylvia didn't understand why they didn't fly up with the Storm Eagle directly, they didn't ask, and felt that there must be a reason why the Belmont family didn't do this. Perhaps there was some power here that would prevent birds from approaching it. sort of, so there's no need to ask these things about safety taboos.

After passing through the third post and walking through a very steep slope, the group came to the top of Mount Moore.

I saw that there were more than a dozen people on the top of the mountain at this moment. Except for Earl Belmont and his entourage who were one step ahead, everyone else was orderly installing some devices on the top of the mountain.

Ordinary people may only be able to tell that these are some metal boxes from the outer casing of the device, but Leo can recognize at the first glance that these so-called metal boxes are actually a set of biological space transmission devices.

In the Earth Federation, space teleportation devices have been in existence for a long time, even before the Earth Federation has contacted alien civilizations, they already have space teleportation devices when exploring in the galaxy, but such space teleportation devices are used for Those who transmit inanimate materials, and those living bodies will inevitably suffer fatal damage such as genetic collapse after using the space transmission device.

In this situation, it was not until the age of Leo that the Earth Federation obtained relevant technologies from alien civilizations with a higher level of technology, and developed a space transmission device that can be used for biological transmission.

Although Leo has never used a biological space transmission device, he has used a material space transmission device more than once, so he is no stranger to this type of device, and more importantly, the simple version of the space that the Belmont family is installing On the transmission device, there is also the Earth Federation language printed on it, not only the name of the device, but also the manufacturing location, factory and user information are printed on it, and the interesting thing is that the user of this device seems to be Leo was still the marine company of the starship where the biochemical man belonged, but he did not use this device in his memory. Obviously, this device was equipped after his death.

Seeing this space teleportation device, Leo also realized that his previous speculation about the Belmont family castle may be wrong. From the current situation, it is obvious that the Belmont family uses the teleportation device to go to Belmont Castle, and this kind of The space teleportation device can only be used for teleportation in the normal universe, and cannot be used for teleportation between fragments of warp planes, which means that Belmont Castle is likely to be hidden somewhere in this world, not somewhere. In the fragments of the warp plane.

However, at this moment, for Leo, the most eye-catching thing on the top of the mountain is not the space teleportation device that is being installed, nor the speculation generated by this device, but a metallic color on the edge of the cliff. Human figure.

This human figure is almost twice as tall as a normal person. It looks like a small giant. The surface of the body is a layer of melted golden armor. Some parts are completely melted. You can see the inner body, and the inner The body is also completely carbonized.

This humanoid figure raised his hands to cover his head. It looked like something was falling from the top of his head. He tried to block it with his hands, but the falling thing was obviously extremely hot. It completely melted the opponent's armor and burned the person inside the armor to charcoal.

If this human-shaped statue was just a carbonized dead man, it would not be too conspicuous, and it would be easily transported away. It would not still stand here for so many years, and even today, no one dares to approach it.

The real reason why it can't be moved or approached is the divine power of justice contained in its body. Obviously, death did not take away the divine power of justice in the opponent's body. This can be seen from the corpses around the statue that were burned by divine power to the point of leaving only bones. Some of the corpses were also wearing the robes of the Archbishop of the Justice Church. Obviously, the Justice Church has sent archbishop-level clergy more than once. The corpse was recovered.

Leo didn't care too much about the divine power of justice contained in the humanoid statue. He was more concerned about the cause of the statue's death, so when he analyzed that the statue's death state was a bit like being attacked by a devastating orbital laser cannon, he couldn't help it. He raised his head and looked at the sky directly above, and used his spiritual vision ability. His vision, which was almost like an astronomical telescope, easily penetrated the thick clouds in the sky and saw the situation in outer space.

Soon he found what he was looking for. A railgun satellite was quietly suspended in the air. Judging from the damage marks on several muzzles on the railgun, it was obvious that the railgun satellite had been used several times. , now only two muzzles are intact, which means they can only be used twice.

It almost doesn't take much to think about it, Leo can be sure that the person who uses the rail gun is definitely the Belmont family, and the direct members of the Belmont family must also know the existence of the rail gun, because Leo's line of sight is halfway from the church of justice. The human figure of the Holy Knight moved to the sky, and when he looked up, the heartbeats of the Belmont family members such as Earl Belmont, Miranda and other direct members of the Belmont family all accelerated slightly, and their faces also showed a little surprise, although the surprised expressions were very It disappeared soon, but still did not escape Leo's perception.

Leo was not too surprised that the Belmont family had mastered an orbital gun satellite and was able to use it, because a complete set of space transmission devices had come out, so obviously the Belmont family should have obtained it. A batch of intact Earth Federation equipment and the manual devices for these devices, otherwise, they would not be able to know how to use these devices.

As for why the Belmont family can send satellites to outer space, the answer is right in front of them. With this space transmission device, as long as there is no error in the position of the coordinates, it is not difficult to send orbital gun satellites to outer space, and even possible Sending people over together, as for whether they can survive in a vacuum environment after they are sent over, that's another question.

"What are you looking at? Is there anything in the sky?" Sylvia looked away from the humanoid statue composed of the corpse of the paladin, turned to look at Leo, and found that Leo stared at the sky for a long time , instead of looking at other eye-catching things on the top of the mountain, he also had questions, and while asking, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

After stopping Sylvia's inquiry, Leo quickly replied: "I'm looking at a weapon, a weapon that kills this righteous church paladin."

"Weapons?" Sylvia couldn't help but froze for a while, then seriously searched the sky.

Although Sylvia's eyesight can also see the scene of outer space, but in terms of accuracy, it is naturally not comparable to Leo's psionic skills, so she didn't see anything worth paying attention to after looking for a long time. Forget about weapons.

On the contrary, after hearing Leo's answer, the direct members of the Belmont family on the side all showed obvious expressions of surprise on their faces. Obviously, Leo's answer with such certainty exceeded their expectations.

At this time, Miranda couldn't help but wonder in her heart and asked, "How do you know there are weapons in the sky?"

Leo took his eyes back from the sky, then turned to look at Miranda and the other Belmont family heirlooms, and said, "If your Belmont family is willing to tell me how these devices were obtained, then I am also willing to tell you about me. How did you find the weapon above?"

Hearing Leo's words, the surrounding Belmont family members subconsciously felt that they seemed to have underestimated Leo before.

Under the suppression of the power of blood, all the Belmont families would subconsciously pay attention to Sylvia, who brought them strong pressure, thus ignoring Leo, who looked a little ordinary, until now they faintly felt Leo unusual.

However, something even more shocking happened to the Belmont family.

Leo seemed to know that the Duke of Belmont and others could not give him any response, so he did not wait in place, walked towards the remains of the Paladin of the Church of Justice next to him, and before the people around him reacted and stepped forward to stop him. , stepped into the righteous divine power attack area designated as a restricted area by the Belmont family.

Everyone on the top of the mountain except Sylvia was stunned by Leo's behavior that seemed to them to be almost suicidal. on the spot.

But what happened next gave them an even greater shock. I saw that the divine power of justice that had burned countless people who approached in the past so many years did not attack Leo at all. Instead, the divine power of justice as brilliant as golden light seemed to have encountered Like a swirling pond, it rushed towards Leo's forehead, converging into a ray of light, and disappeared when it approached Leo's forehead.

Soon, even in the blink of an eye, it has troubled the Belmont family for many years. At the same time, it also weakened and disappeared the righteous power of the Church of Justice, which has repeatedly been shriveled, and lost the support of the power. The Paladin of the Church of Justice who was killed by the railgun. The corpse also quickly cracked, and the metal armor on the surface lost its luster, corroded and rusted, and finally turned into a pile of dust under the gaze of everyone.

Everyone on the top of the mountain stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at what was happening in front of them. Their faces were full of stunned expressions. After a while, Count Belmont recovered from the shock. And looking at Leo, he asked, "Who are you?"

While feeling the divine punishment mark in his body completely swallowing up the divine power of justice, Leo turned his head and smiled at the Earl of Belmont, saying, "Leo Dodd, a wizard."
