Moore Peak is a mountain located on the north side of Moore City. It 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 gentle road around to climb to the top. There are only a few mountains on both sides.

The road is so steep that you may slip off the cliff next to it if you are not careful.

However, in this environment, on the only road leading to Mount Moore, the Belmont family set up three very eye-catching checkpoints, which happened to be stuck at the narrowest part of the road. Those who wanted to go to the top of Mount Moore

Unless you climb directly from the cliffs on both sides, if you want to reach the top of the mountain, you must pass through these checkpoints. Ten heretical knights specially trained by the Belmont family are stationed at these checkpoints all year round.

Here, with the layout inside the checkpoint, almost any intruder can be blocked.

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

On the way, perhaps because it was too boring to immerse oneself in climbing the mountain, Miranda also casually told Leo and Sylvia what happened here in the past as if telling a story.

All along, the True God Church and other various forces have wanted to know the location of the mysterious Belmont Castle, and such a striking place as Mount Moore has naturally not escaped their sight. They feel that there must be a path leading to Belmont Castle from the top of Mount Moore.

secret.

However, even if they had some guesses in their minds, they could not be sure whether their guesses were true or false, because they could not get to Mount Moore at all. Judging from the three checkpoints on Mount Moore and the garrison strength inside, they would have to send at least a thousand people.

It is possible for the army to attack these checkpoints with human lives.

But Moore's Peak is located in the hinterland of the Belmont family's fiefdom. Not to mention the distant towns, Moore's City under Moore's Peak alone is home to branches of the Belmont family and families with foreign surnames who have academic relations with the Belmont family. This does not include those

The number of vassal families, so even though all parties have felt that there is a problem in Mount Moore for so many years, they have never been able to understand the situation.

Later, a certain paladin from the Church of Justice who received divine grace three times and whose power was close to that of a demi-god felt that he was strong enough, so he ran to Mount Moore alone and broke into Mount Moore directly.

Although the Heretic Knights stationed at Moore's Peak were very powerful and had geographical advantages, they were naturally unable to resist such a powerful Paladin. Three outposts were directly penetrated. Half of the thirty Heretic Knights died and the other half were disabled.

.

And just after the paladin climbed Mount Moore, the paladin died. No one knew the cause of death. Even direct descendants of the Belmont family like Miranda didn't know the reason. Only the successive Belmont Dukes knew it.

What killed the almost demigod paladin, and the remains of the paladin of the Church of Justice are still on Mount Moore.

Sylvia asked curiously: "Why not move the remains of the paladin away? This should be of great research value, right?"

"We also know this, but we can't do it. Not only can we not do it, but even the Pope of the Church of Justice cannot do it." Miranda shrugged and said, "I can't tell you the specific situation.

You’ll find out later 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 also has the strength of the Holy Knights of the Church of the True God, so walking on such a mountain road will not be difficult and the speed will be very fast.

Although Leo and Sylvia didn't understand why they didn't just fly up in the Storm Eagle, they didn't ask. They felt that there must be a reason why the Belmont family didn't do this. Maybe there was some power contained here that would prevent the birds from approaching.

Class, so there is no need to ask about these safety taboos.

After passing the third post and walking up a very steep slope, the group arrived at the top of Mount Moore.

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

Most people may only be able to tell that these are some metal boxes from the shell of the device, but Leo was able to recognize at the first glance that these so-called metal boxes were actually a set of biological space teleportation devices.

In the Earth Federation, space teleportation devices have been around for a long time. Even before the Earth Federation has come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, they already had space teleportation devices when they were exploring the galaxy. However, these space teleportation devices are used for

It transmits inanimate materials, and those living bodies will definitely suffer fatal injuries such as genetic collapse after using the space transmission device.

It was not until Leo's era that the Earth Federation obtained relevant technologies from alien civilizations with higher technological levels and developed a space teleportation device that could be used for biological teleportation.

Although Leo has never used a biological space teleportation device, he has used a material space teleportation device more than once, so he is no stranger to this type of device. What is more important is the simple version of the space that the Belmont family is installing.

The transmission device is also engraved with the Earth Federation language. Not only is the name of the device, but also the manufacturing location, factory and user information printed on it. What is interesting is that the user of this device seems to be

Leo was still in the marine company of the starship where the cyborg was, 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 guess about the Belmont Family Castle might be wrong. Judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the Belmont Family used the teleportation device to go to Belmont Castle, and this type of

The space teleportation device can only be used for teleportation in the normal space, and cannot be used for teleportation between subspace plane fragments. In other words, Belmont Castle is likely to be hidden somewhere in this world, rather than somewhere.

In the fragments of the subspace plane.

However, at this moment, for Leo, the most eye-catching thing on the top of the mountain is not the space transmission device being installed, nor the speculation caused by this device, but a metallic-colored stone on the edge of the cliff.

Humanoid statue.

This humanoid statue 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. In some places, it is completely melted. You can see the inner body, and the inner body is completely melted.

The body is also completely carbonized.

This humanoid statue raised his hands to cover his head. It looked like something was falling from above his head, and he was trying to block it with his hands. However, the falling thing obviously had an extremely high temperature. In an instant,

It completely melts the opponent's armor and burns the person inside it to charcoal.

If this humanoid statue was just a carbonized dead person, it would not be too eye-catching, and it would be easily transported away. It would not still be standing here after so many years, and no one would dare to approach it even to this day.

The real reason why it cannot be moved away 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. On the contrary, it made this nearly demigod divine power of justice completely out of control and attacked anyone who came close.

This can be seen from the corpses around the statue that were burned by divine power until only their bones were left. Some of the corpses were still wearing the robes of the Archbishop of the Church of Justice. Obviously, the Church of Justice has sent archbishop-level clergy here more than once.

Now the body has been recovered.

Leo didn't care too much about the divine power of justice contained in this humanoid statue. He was more concerned about the cause of the statue's death, so when he analyzed that the statue's death state seemed to have been attacked by a destructive-level orbital laser cannon, he couldn't help but

He raised his head and looked at the sky directly above, and used his spiritual vision. 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 rail gun satellite was floating quietly in the sky. Judging from the damage marks on several muzzles of the rail gun, it was obvious that this rail gun satellite had been used several times.

, now only two muzzles are intact, which means they can only be used twice.

Without much thought, Leo was sure that the person who used the rail gun was definitely the Belmont family, and the direct members of the Belmont family must also know about the existence of the rail gun, because as soon as Leo's sight turned from the half-figure of the Church of Justice,

The human statue of the holy knight moved to the sky. When he looked up, the heartbeats of Earl Belmont, Miranda and other direct members of the Belmont family accelerated slightly, and their faces also showed a little surprise, although the expressions of surprise were very

It disappeared soon, but it still did not escape Leo's perception.

Leo was not too surprised that the Belmont family actually mastered a rail gun satellite and was able to use it, because a complete set of space transmission devices had come out, so it was obvious that the Belmont family should have obtained

A batch of intact Earth Federation equipment and the instruction manuals for these equipment. Otherwise, they would not be able to know how to use these equipment.

As for why the Belmont family is able to send satellites to outer space, the answer is right in front of them. With this set of space transmission devices, as long as there are no errors in the coordinate positions, it is not difficult to send railgun satellites to outer space. It can even be done.

Send people there as well. As for whether they can survive in a vacuum environment after being sent there, that is another question.

"What are you looking at? Is there something in the sky?" Sylvia moved her gaze away from the humanoid statue made of the paladin's corpse, turned to look at Leo, and found that Leo had been staring at the sky for a long time.

, instead of looking at other eye-catching things on the top of the mountain, I also had questions. While asking, I couldn't help but look up at the sky.

After Leo stopped Sylvia's inquiry, he quickly replied: "I'm looking at a weapon, a weapon that kills the paladin of the Church of Justice."

"Weapons?" Sylvia couldn't help but be stunned, and then carefully searched for it in the sky.

Although Sylvia can also see the scene in outer space with her eyesight, it cannot be compared with Leo's psychic skills in terms of accuracy, so she looked for a long time without seeing anything worthy of attention.

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 was so sure that it completely exceeded their expectations.

At this time, Miranda couldn't help but be confused and asked: "How did you know there were weapons in the sky?"

Leo withdrew his gaze from the sky, then turned to look at Miranda and other direct descendants of the Belmont family, and said: "If you, the Belmont family, are willing to tell me how I obtained these devices, then I am also willing to tell you how I got them.

How did you find that weapon above?"

Hearing Leo's words, the surrounding direct members of the Belmont family subconsciously felt that they had underestimated Leo before.

Under the suppression of the power of blood, all the Belmont families would subconsciously pay attention to Sylvia, who brought strong pressure to them, thus ignoring Leo who looked a bit ordinary at the side. It was only now that they felt faintly about Leo.

unusual.

However, something happened later that shocked the Belmont family even more.

Leo seemed to know very well that Duke Belmont and others would not be able to give him any response, so he did not wait where he was and walked towards the remains of the Paladin of the Church of Justice next to him, before the people around him could react and step forward to stop him.

, stepped into the attack area of ​​the Divine Power of Justice, which was designated as a restricted area by the Belmont family.

Everyone on the top of the mountain except Sylvia was confused by Leo's behavior, which they considered almost suicidal. They didn't know how to react for a while, and they all froze on the spot.

But what happened next gave them an even greater shock. They saw that the divine power of justice, which had burned countless people who came close to it in the past so many years, did not attack Leo at all. On the contrary, those divine powers of justice that were as brilliant as golden light seemed to be encountered.

Like a swirling pond, it rushed toward Leo's forehead, converged into a line of light, and disappeared when it got close to Leo's forehead.

Soon, it can even be said that in the blink of an eye, the divine power of justice, which has troubled the Belmont family for many years and also caused the Church of Justice to suffer repeatedly, weakened and disappeared, and without the support of the divine power, the Paladin of the Church of Justice who was killed by the rail gun

The remains also quickly began to crack, and the metal armor on the surface also lost its luster, corroded and corroded, and finally turned into a pile of dust under everyone's gaze.

Everyone on the top of the mountain stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at what was happening in front of them, with stunned expressions on their faces. After a while, Earl Belmont recovered from the shock.

And he looked at Leo and asked, "Who are you?"
Chapter completed!
