Hearing Leo's personal admission that he had seen the Lady in the Lake, even if it was just a dream projection of the Lady in the Lake, Sylvia felt extremely shocked inside. However, while being shocked, she thought of some things, which made her unable to help but fall into

As he was deep in thought, his brows furrowed slightly.

Leo saw that Sylvia was thinking about something, so he didn't interrupt her, but looked her up and down.

Although Sylvia's appearance is no different from a few years ago, her temperament has changed dramatically. This change is like the difference between a flower that has just sprouted and a flower that is in full bloom.

Leo can feel that this change in temperament is not only related to Sylvia's experience over the years, but also related to the improvement of her bloodline. Her temperament contains a kind of spiritual energy that can have an effect on people's souls.

Fluctuation, this is the same as the charm of the Lady in the Lake, except that one uses the power of the gods and the other uses the magic power of the witch.

At this moment, Leo found that there seemed to be a strange fluctuation in his heart that had never happened in the past. This fluctuation was not due to the influence of psychic fluctuations, nor was it due to the residual perception of the body's previous life, but originated from himself.

The emotions originate from the emotions of Cyborg 74328.

In the Earth Federation, the issue of whether cyborgs have normal human emotions has always been a focus of debate between cyborg rights protection organizations and human organizations.

Although many cyborg representatives elected by cyborg rights protection organizations claim that cyborgs have human emotions, Leo knows very well that cyborgs have the same physiological impulses as ordinary people, but without emotions, they are like robots in their hearts.

Even if you are a passionate bed partner one moment, you will be an emotionless stranger the next moment.

But now, Leo has some doubts about his past judgment, because the emotional fluctuations he has now when facing Sylvia have nothing to do with physiology, nor have anything to do with the remaining emotions in the body's previous life. They come from

In the heart of his biochemical human, it originated from the soul belonging to 74328. It is precisely because of this that he cannot suppress this emotion in any way, and this sudden emotion also makes him a little overwhelmed, and even feels that he has never felt anything like it before.

of panic.

"Something must have happened in the memory that disappeared, which not only changed the body, but also changed the soul!" Leo thought of his own feelings when he faced Sylvia and the lady in the lake.

Emotions and other situations, he immediately became suspicious of the true emotions in his heart, and connected this incident with the changes in his body, which also made him more curious about the memory he had lost.

"You have some doubts too, right?" Just when Leo had doubts about his situation, Sylvia suddenly asked inexplicably.

"Ah!?" Leo was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

However, Sylvia didn't seem to care about Leo's answer. She took the cup that had been placed on the table, got herself another glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "You should also feel that this world is changing after you leave."

There have been some changes in the past few years, are you curious about these changes?"

"Are you talking about the French Empire recruiting dependents to join the army?" Leo asked tentatively.

"As expected, you have seen those hyenas. These bastards have been very active in the defense line of the Bidia Mountains recently. They cooperated with the bounty hunters in the black market and killed many of our colleagues." After Sylvia heard about the Imperial Army's Familia, she said,

His face immediately turned full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have sympathized with these guys at the beginning. I should have cooperated with the night watchmen to destroy all these guys."

Leo could tell that a lot of things had happened in the feud between the Familia and the Night Watch over the years, and it had even affected a neutral organization like the Lost World Society. Although he was curious, he did not take the initiative to ask, but kept quiet.

Be a listener.

"Some people in the society suspect that a new wave of magic power is coming again." Sylvia jumped from her hatred towards the Familia to another thing.

"Are you talking about the magic tide theory proposed by Inger Bell?" Although Sylvia's words were confused, Leo could understand the meaning of this sentence.

In Rembrandt's library, Leo had seen various research materials by scholars. Among them, a scholar named Bell did some research on why so many gods appeared in the ancient world, and why those gods left.

He came up with some conjectures. Through studying the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, he proposed a magic tide theory. In this theory, he used the ups and downs of the tide to explain the rise and fall of each civilization, and this law is closely related to the rise and fall of gods and religions.

Very consistent.

However, this tidal theory is not convincing in this era of the heyday of steam industrialization, so it can only be left in the library to gather dust.

But this tidal theory reminded Leo of the tidal hypothesis of cosmic spiritual energy published by the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences. The two are very strikingly similar. Scientists from the Earth Federation also believe that cosmic spiritual energy has the same ups and downs as tides.

It's just that this rise and fall frequency is divided into tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years, while the magic tide in Velen's world is divided into thousands of years. Such a big gap between the two makes Leo feel that this magic tide theory

Incorrect, not paying too much attention.

"Do you know Bell's magic tide theory?" Sylvia was about to explain what magic tide was. Seeing that Leo actually knew the origin of the magic tide theory, she was a little surprised, but she quickly figured it out and said: "

You should have seen the relevant article from Master Rembrandt, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted.

"That's good, it saves me the time to explain." Sylvia walked to the chair opposite Leo and sat down, and said: "Three years ago, for some unknown reason, a large number of dependents appeared, and people from the Orthodox Church also

We found that the magic we used was showing signs of strengthening, and the wizards in the wizards' assembly also spread the news that the magic of the world had changed. At the time, we didn't take these things to heart. Later, some mysterious events occurred frequently in various cities, and we

Only then did we notice that the world began to look different. Later, someone re-proposed Bell’s magic tide theory, and we also felt that a new round of magic tide was taking place.”

After Leo heard Sylvia's words, he couldn't help but frowned. He didn't agree with Sylvia, or the conclusions drawn by the Lost World Society and other dark world organizations. In his opinion, the so-called magic tide did not exist at all.

exist.

No one in this world knows better than him what the so-called magic, divine power and the power of nature are. The source of all extraordinary powers is the spiritual energy of the universe. If it is true as Sylvia said, a new round of

When the magic tide appears, the first thing to change is the spiritual energy fluctuations that envelope the entire world.

In the past, Leo had not felt so strongly about the spiritual energy fluctuations in the entire world, but now that he has become a fourth-level psyker, he can use the Earth Federation's methods to easily find out the spiritual energy fluctuations from various cosmic energies.

Come, so the spiritual environment of the entire Velen world has no secrets for him.

Just like what he felt when he just returned to the Velen world from the dream world, there is no change in spiritual energy fluctuations between the current Velen world and the past Velen world, so the magic tide does not exist.

After clarifying his thoughts, Leo questioned: "Are you sure that the magic tide really happened?"

Sylvia said solemnly: "If it was just the large-scale appearance of the Familia, we would still suspect that there was something wrong with the Familia, but now even the Orthodox Church and the Wizards' Assembly have heard the news, then this

Something..."

Before Sylvia could finish speaking, Leo interrupted her and said: "The emergence of the steam industry has had a great impact on the world. This impact has both good and bad effects. Obviously, the family, the wizard assembly,

After the emergence of the steam industry, the Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church were all adversely affected, and their decline is increasingly visible."

"You mean they are joining forces to deliberately create the illusion of a new wave of magic?" Sylvia guessed Leo's thoughts, but quickly retorted: "Impossible, the family and the wizard assembly will not

By the way, the Orthodox Church will never cooperate with the dependents. You must know that these dependents are the followers of the evil gods or the descendants of the followers of the evil gods that the Orthodox Court wants to eliminate."

"If there were no evil gods, would it be necessary for the gods of the Orthodox Church to exist?" Leo said something that could be said to be shocking.

Hearing this sentence, Sylvia was a little glad that she had just used wizard artifacts to block the sound in the room, because Leo's words could be said to be completely blasphemous. As long as it spread, the Paladins of all religions in the Orthodox Church would

The priests will all be dispatched to deal with Leo quickly.

While she was shocked and frightened by Leo's words, Sylvia had to admit that Leo's words made some sense. Thinking about it carefully, it was possible, but soon she shook her head vigorously, like

He wanted to get rid of the blasphemous thoughts in his mind, and repeated with some lack of confidence: "It's impossible, the Orthodox Church will never cooperate with the Familia."

"They don't need to cooperate at all." Leo continued: "The large-scale appearance of the dependents is an opportunity. The reason for this phenomenon is unknown. It may be the effect of some kind of medicine, but this opportunity is very important to the orthodox church and the wizard assembly.

It's a good opportunity. They don't need to contact the Familia. They just need to say some appropriate words at the appropriate time to create the illusion of the arrival of a new wave of magic. And it's not just them, but also the Night Watch and the Strange News Society.

I'm afraid there are many people who are secretly adding fuel to the fire. If I'm not wrong, since the emergence of the magic tide theory, the orthodox church, wizard assembly, dependents, night watchmen, and members of your strange society who specialize in occultism have all more or less

They have gained some benefits, such as influence, voice, etc.”

Sylvia did not refute, but fell into deep thought.

Leo continued: "Think about it, even scholars like Francis who specialize in language have been reused by the French Empire because of their ability to interpret the language of gods in the past.

The world organizations have also paid their dues and become officers and soldiers of the French Empire. I think with the French Empire as an example, other countries should also pay great attention to various organizations in the dark world, and they will not hesitate to recruit them with large sums of money or high positions.

Back to the next chapter. If these shady organizations are like this, what about the Orthodox Church? The power status of the Orthodox Church should have improved a lot over the years, right?"

"Stop talking!" Sylvia interrupted Leo's words, her face was a little gloomy, and she glared at Leo fiercely and said, "You are really a devil. As soon as you appear, you want to bring order to the whole world.

Luan, do you know what impact these speculations of yours will have if spread?"

Leo smiled and asked Sylvia indifferently: "Will you spread the word?"

Sylvia rolled her eyes at Leo and said: "I still want to continue living." Then as if she had figured it out, her face gradually improved and said: "I didn't hear anything just now, you didn't say anything.

,Understand?"

"Understood." Leo also didn't want to get involved in this big trouble, so he happily accepted Sylvia's proposal.

Seeing that Leo accepted her proposal, Sylvia was slightly relieved. After all, this incident was too dangerous. Once word spread, the turmoil created would spread to the entire Velen civilized world, and many people died because of this incident.

There are probably countless people, and even the Orthodox Church cannot avoid it.

What's more, the magic tide is not a bad thing for her. She is also one of the vested interests, so pretending to be deaf and forgetting about it is the best choice.

"Where are you going to go next?" Sylvia said, changing the subject and asking the question she wanted to know just now.

Leo answered truthfully: "For the time being, it's Port Set, Kingdom of England. My friends are there, and I also have several properties there. After resting for a while, I may go to other places to visit."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was a little disappointed. Obviously it was different from the answer she wanted, but she had no intention of retaining him, except because the vague feelings just stayed there.

In addition to feeling, the more important thing is that she and Leo are both very independent people. Many times the decisions they make will not change because of other people. Perhaps it is because of this similarity in personality that they

She has still retained a trace of emotion deep in her heart after all these years.

Clearly seeing the disappointed look on Sylvia's face, Leo, driven by his inner impulse, couldn't help but add: "But I'm not in a hurry to return to the Kingdom of England. I can stay here longer.

some time."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was stunned, looking at Leo as if looking at a stranger, and asked at the same time: "Are you okay? This is true of your character..."

"If you don't want to, forget it." Leo turned away, not wanting Sylvia to see his embarrassed expression, and said in a stiff tone.
Chapter completed!
