Chapter 1017 Ending
The death of a large number of mutated monsters guarding the gate will inevitably be sensed by the divine power domain that covers the entire mountain stream. However, before the core of the divine power domain can react, Leo has already rushed out of the abyss of the mountain stream.
After leaving the realm of divine power, Leo stopped and looked back at the entrance to the mountain stream fissure. He had some guesses in his mind and also revised some decisions.
Originally, Leo was planning to find a way to tell the Church of the Lord of the Sky what was going on in the mountain stream abyss, so that the Church of the Lord of the Sky could start an open conflict with the possibly parasitic Eagle God, and even bring down the entire Velen Continent.
The churches are also drawn into this conflict, lest these churches sit idle and focus on those bullshit legends of the Destroyer.
But when he discovered that many of the mutated monsters might be senior priests of the Lord of the Sky Church, his thoughts changed somewhat, because he felt that the Neferts might usurp the power of the Lord of the Sky through the God of Eagles.
As he thought, it was not just a unilateral and secret act of the Nephites in the abyss. It was very likely that the senior leaders of the Lord of the Sky Church had colluded with the Nephites long ago.
The higher-ups of the Lord of the Sky Church not only sent the necessary manpower and material resources to the Nephites, they even sent the church's clergy as sacrifices or experimental subjects. That's how those monsters and so many Beitu people came into existence.
If this is really the case, Leo going directly to the higher-ups of the Lord of the Sky Church in the Dibia Mountains is probably throwing himself into a trap, because the higher-ups of the Dibia Mountains are likely to be one of the internal agents.
The Rescue Society was obviously treated as an outcast by being arranged here. After all, such an uncontrolled, trouble-making department would be troublesome in anyone's hands.
As for why the senior leaders of the Sky Lord Church are willing to become internal agents, it is simply because of things like divine miracles.
As the gods withdrew, miracles began to appear among believers at a rapid pace. Later, they even had to let believers of gods display magical skills to pretend to be miracles. Coupled with the suppression of religious authority by secular powers, various churches
The country's power has shrunk rapidly, to less than one-tenth of its heyday.
In this case, the remains of the Eagle God, who can help the Lord of the Sky to perform various miracles at any time, naturally become the life-saving straw of the Lord of the Sky. More importantly, the Eagle God is the predecessor of the Lord of the Sky.
, so using the remains of the Eagle God to show the miracles of the Lord of the Sky is not considered a violation of faith, at least it makes sense logically.
Therefore, Leo has reason to suspect that the core priests of the Lord of the Sky have already colluded with the Eagle God. The evidence is undoubtedly the miraculous records of the Lord of the Sky in Velen Continent.
You know, when this god retreated, all the churches, even the underground evil churches, rarely performed miraculous things in religious ceremonies. Only the Church of the Lord of the Sky, or the Church of the Velen Continent,
The Church of the Lord of the Sky often performed miracles at religious gatherings, which also caused the Church of the Lord of the Sky to spread its faith very quickly in the Velen Continent, and eventually became the leader of the three major churches in the Velen Continent.
Although the Lord of the Sky is definitely a powerful god among the gods in the world of Velen, he is definitely not much stronger than the King of the Hill, the Lord of the birth and death of all things. Since the King of the Hill and the Lord of the birth and death of all things
The Lord cannot often perform miracles when the gods retreat, so He certainly cannot do this either. Therefore, the miracles performed by the Lord of the Sky in the past may not originate from the Lord of the Sky, but from the Lord of the Sky.
The remains of the Eagle God.
If this speculation is true, then the Sky Lord Church in Velen Continent may have been corrupted.
As for why the Holy City of the Lord of the Sky Church in the Mosang Continent didn't care about this, and even gave the Lord of the Sky Church in the Velen Continent a certain degree of autonomy, it's probably because they felt that this matter would do them more harm than good.
Because no matter who caused the miracle, for believers and ordinary people, it is the power of the Lord of the Sky. The name of the god they pray to is also the name of the Lord of the Sky. In the end, their faith will also fall on the Lord of the Sky.
As for the church itself, this can be seen from the fact that the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Moissan Continent has expanded its influence several times due to these miracles.
Leo was thinking about the whole story while walking towards the village built by the Rescue Society. When he climbed over a hillside and could see the whole village in the valley, he stopped and looked at the ruins below.
The village looked past.
Just as he expected, under the influence of his potion, all the members of the Salvation Society in the village mutated, lost their minds and attacked each other, and eventually died together, leaving only the stumps and broken arms scattered throughout the village.
As a routine, Leo checked the situation in the village through the spiritual network. He knew very well how effective his medicine could be, and he didn't think there would be any survivors, but things were often unexpected, because his spiritual network was very powerful.
A survivor was soon discovered, a survivor who controlled the mutated body.
I saw among a pile of corpses, a senior priest of the Lord of the Sky, whose lower body was a multipod insect and whose upper body was a human, was trying hard to control his big, pliers-like hands to transform back into human arms, but his method seemed to exist.
Flaw, after the arm returned to its normal appearance, it quickly changed back again.
After trying back and forth several times and knowing that his method could not succeed, the senior priest seemed very frustrated. As if he had made a decision, he quickly moved to the corpse of a completely mutated monster and hesitated slightly.
In one fell swoop, he took out a heart from the corpse's chest and then ate the heart.
Just after eating the mutated monster's heart, the high priest's body turned red as if it had been steamed, and it took a long time for it to subside.
At this time, the senior priest once again used his method of controlling mutated limbs. As a result, the mutated big hand quickly changed back to a normal human form under his will, and did not change back again.
Leo was a little surprised when he discovered this, because the high priest's method of improving the ability to control mutations gave Leo an inspiration. He realized that the mutation potion he made did not fail, but succeeded, and the reasons for the failure were all
The reason is that the effect of the drug is too strong and too good for normal people to bear. It is necessary to dilute the effect through other methods, and then gradually increase the user's own concentration of the mutated drug.
This high priest ate the hearts of his mutant colleagues as a way of diluting the efficacy of the medicine.
In this way, under Leo's supervision, the senior priest gradually mastered the mutant power in his body by eating the hearts of his mutant colleagues, allowing himself to transform back into a normal human form.
The senior priest who returned to his normal human form did not show joy because of this. He sat on the ground and stared blankly at the mutated monster corpses around him. In the end, he couldn't bear the dual physical and mental fatigue and passed out.
At this time, Leo walked down the hillside, came to the dilapidated village, and came to the senior priest. He did not wake up the unconscious senior priest of the Salvation Society, nor did he arrest him. He just carefully looked through the spiritual network.
After checking the other person's physical condition, he took some blood from the person and turned around and left.
It has been nine days since Leo returned to Randall. The reason why it took so much longer to come back than to go was because all cities in the United Kingdom have entered a state of martial law, and every train needs to undergo various inspections.
, although there are no rumors about the reason why the country has entered a state of martial law, Leo feels that it should be related to the things he did in Hanlock City.
However, this kind of martial law is obviously more like expressing an attitude to the outside world. It is not really that this kind of martial law can catch the people who make the Speaker of the House of Lords and other senior officials go crazy. In fact, the people who issued the decree also know it very well.
In this regard, those inspections were not particularly strict. Leo didn't even change his appearance. He just showed the ID of the intelligence department staff member that Sylvia got from him and was let go.
On the way back to Black City Bo from the suburban train station, Leo did not hide any of his whereabouts. Those who were snooping in the dark naturally saw Leo coming back from the outside. All kinds of information came from one place at a time.
A secret channel was delivered to the hands of caring people everywhere.
At the same time, news that something had happened to the temporary village of the Salvation Society in the Dibia Mountains also began to spread among the churches in the Velen world, and many smart people compared the time and then compared it with the railway
line, it is not difficult to guess what Leo has been doing these days.
However, even so, they could not take any action against Leo, because everything they did was just speculation without any evidence.
But compared to those who care about Leo's actions, there are still some people who are more concerned about Leo's silent ways of causing the Speaker of the House of Lords and others to go crazy, as well as the method of causing group mutations among members of the Salvation Society.
If they were ordinary people, these interested people would have taken action directly, kidnapped Leo, and then slowly forced him to learn the methods. But Leo is not an ordinary person. Regardless of the strength he showed or his desire for revenge,
They are enough to be in awe of any force. If there is no need, no one will be an enemy of Leo, or to be more precise, Leo and Sylvia.
Before Leo returned to Castle Black, his news had already spread back to the castle. At this time, the servants in the castle thought that Leo was alone in the laboratory doing experiments, so they all thought it was just a rumor.
Taking it to heart, they didn't know that this rumor was true until they saw Sylvia carrying little Tolan and little Eileen to the gate of the castle.
The carriage passed through the castle gate and stopped not far from Sylvia. When Leo got off the carriage, Sylvia walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Back!"
"Yes, I'm back." Leo nodded in response, then took the two little guys from Sylvia's hands, teasing them, and walked towards the main castle.
After the two returned to their room, Leo changed into simple clothes under the service of the servant, and then ordered the servants in the castle to leave, and then carefully told Sylvia his experience during this time.
.
Sylvia didn't show too much surprise when she first heard about what Leo had done in Hanrock City. Later, she seemed very calm when she heard about Leo's handling of the Salvation Society, because she had received relevant information.
When the news about the village was saved, one could guess what method Leo used to destroy that village.
However, when Leo later talked about his exploration of the mountain abyss and discovered the plan of the trinity of the Nephites, the Eagle God and the Lord of the Sky, her face became more and more serious.
"What kind of existence is the Nephite you are talking about?" Sylvia couldn't wait to ask after Leo finished speaking.
"They come from the starry sky." Leo pointed to the sky, thought for a moment, found a suitable metaphor, and said, "It's like the deer in the black forest."
"Family of the gods?" Sylvia confirmed.
"No, it's the Protoss." Leo corrected himself and said in Gamorean.
"Protoss?" Sylvia, who also understands Gamorei, was stunned for a moment, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, because the word "gods" does not exist in the languages of Velen, but there are a few ancient languages such as Gamorei.
There is the word "gods" in the language, but linguists in the world of Velen equate the gods and the gods, so Sylvia didn't understand why Leo repeated her words.
"They are the gods, not the gods' dependents." Leo emphasized again.
"Protoss? Is there any other meaning?" Sylvia looked at Leo with some confusion.
Leo thought for a moment and explained: "The Gods are the ethnic group of gods. The gods come from this ethnic group. Anyone in this ethnic group has the opportunity to become a god."
Sylvia couldn't help but take a breath when she heard this, and stared at Leo in stunned silence for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Leo's words had a great impact on Sylvia, because in the religious view of the world of Velen, every god is unique, so gods can only have dependents who are favored by them, and cannot have other similar races.
Now Leo tells her that there is actually a group of people who have the potential to become gods. This concept is far beyond her previous knowledge.
After a while, Sylvia recovered from the shock. She suppressed the abnormal emotions in her heart and calmed herself down as much as possible. After thinking about it, she said, "What do they want to do?"
"I don't know." Leo shook his head, was silent for a moment, and then added: "However, according to what I know about them, if they succeed, then we will all become their slaves."
Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia seemed to understand what Leo meant. She picked up the bell on the table and shook it. After the housekeeper came in, she quickly wrote a few invitations, handed them to the housekeeper, and gave him instructions.
