The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The huge figure that appeared in the gray mist had a huge impact on the entire Randall, the entire United Kingdom of France, and even the entire Velen continent, which was so huge that it exceeded Leo and Sylvia's expectations.

Maybe it's because Leo and Sylvia have experienced too many things, and they have seen countless magical things. They have long been used to this kind of shocking scene, and they are also trying to rush to the monster in the fog. The coming out of the fog had been expected long ago, so the impact was very small, and the time it took to return to the castle from the outskirts was enough to digest the impact of the scene just now.

But for everyone except the two of them, the impact of this incident was enough to cause a panic, because the previous scene in the gray fog almost made everyone realize that the gray fog had either changed, or it was the same They expected it differently, and either way it wasn't a good thing for them.

The gray fog has been around for such a long time, even the coastal cities most affected by the gray fog like Randall have begun to get used to the existence of the gray fog, not to mention that they can still enter the gray fog with the protection of the Sea God Church. In the sea area, fishing in the offshore area close to the land will not be completely insulated from the rich products in the depths of the ocean like other seaport cities.

Although the gray fog will swallow all intruders, for ordinary people, the threat of the gray fog is far less than those mutated monsters that suddenly appear in the city. In the fog, there is basically no danger.

As for the blurred images of some monsters appearing from time to time in the gray mist, although ordinary people who see such images sometimes fall into crazy emotions, most people will return to normal after a period of time, Only a few people will go completely crazy, but this kind of situation will not directly harm the body of ordinary people, so it is not taken seriously.

And those few cases of madness are also regarded as asking for bad luck. When the huge monster image appears, it is fine not to watch it. If you choose to watch it out of curiosity, you have to bear all the bad effects of watching it.

But the situation is different now. Everyone in Port Randall saw the huge figure in the gray mist. It didn't appear like the huge images they saw before and then disappeared quickly, just like a hurried pedestrian. The same, but instead approached the edge of the gray fog, trying to break out of the gray fog.

Almost everyone who saw this scene could feel that if it wasn't for the power of the gray fog to stop it, that huge figure might have rushed out of the gray fog, and the mysterious existence represented by such a huge figure rushing into this world would cause serious damage to the world. What kind of devastating damage is something that almost everyone who knows how to use their brains can deduce.

Therefore, after discovering that the mysterious existence in the gray fog might break out of the gray fog, many people in Randall Port began to fall into panic, and felt that the place by the sea was no longer safe. Those who had the conditions to leave Landau The people in Port Al chose to pack up some valuables and leave immediately. As for other things at home, they waited until they settled down in the inland city before trying to find a way to transport them back.

And those who have no conditions can only stay in Randall. Some of them shut themselves in the room, and some of them went to the city council to make trouble, protesting that the city council concealed the truth about the gray fog, and even more people in the city Many people ran to the church of the Sea God Church to pray.

In the minds of these devout Seagod Church believers, although the huge figure in the gray mist is extremely terrifying, they still believe that Seagod is the most powerful ruler of the sea, and that huge figure is not the opponent of Seagod, because ships blessed by Seagod can pass through In the gray mist sea area, this means that no matter what powerful and mysterious existences there are in the gray mist, they cannot resist the Seagod's power.

It is also because of this kind of thinking that among the believers of the Sea God Church, there are many more devout believers.

If it is normal, a large number of pious believers can suddenly appear out of thin air, which is a great event for any church to be happy and even hold a celebration. After all, every pious believer represents a potential senior clergyman of the church , if the church wants to develop and grow, it not only depends on the blessing of the gods, but also needs the missionary work of senior clergy, so the number of senior clergy determines how far the church can develop.

However, such an extremely important matter to the Sea God Church was ignored by the upper echelons of the Sea God Church at this moment, because their attention was all on the sacrificial ceremony affected by that huge figure.

It was only when Leo and Sylvia returned to the castle that they realized what happened on the altar of Wanghai Cliff when the huge figure appeared and tried to rush out of the gray fog. An unknown force crushed it into powder, but none of the church clergy who were not far from the holy object was harmed.

Although the destruction of a large number of sacred objects has caused huge losses to Randall's Sea God Church, after all, Landauer's Sea God Church is the earliest seat of the Sea God Church in the Velen world. No church can match that.

These vacant Seagod Churches that have damaged the holy relics can also be filled quickly, but the problem now is not to fill up the holy relics, but whether to continue this sacrifice ceremony.

Many cautious senior officials of the Sea God Church believed that the huge figure in the gray mist appeared at this time and caused the destruction of the sacred object. It should be aimed at the sacrifice ceremony of the Sea God Church. If the ceremony continues, it may lead to the ceremony. Unforeseen changes occur.

However, more senior members of the Sea God Church believe that the ceremony should continue. Even if that huge figure appears again, it cannot stop the ceremony, because they feel that these things are actually a test of their faith by the Sea God, and that huge figure is actually the Sea God. an incarnation of .

The incarnation hypothesis they put forward is not entirely based on imagination, but has real evidence. In the ancient fundamental scriptures of the Sea God Church, it is mentioned that the Sea God once appeared in the eyes of believers as the figure of a giant in the sea, and helped the most devout believers kill the giant in the sea. A monster, and the appearance of the giant in the sea is also similar to that huge figure, surrounded by thick fog, only a blurry figure can be seen and so on.

The Church of the Sea God also fell into a fierce dispute because of this matter, and their dispute even involved these people from the Kingdom of England mission, because the Kingdom of England was also influenced by the Church of the Sea God and divided into rituals to send And Ritual Suspension Pie.

The reason for this inexplicable dispute in the mission of the Kingdom of England is entirely because the members of the mission are composed of people from the church, the royal family and the kingdom government. The church naturally hopes that the ceremony can continue, after all, the purpose of their visit It is to participate in the ceremony, go to the Sea God Temple, and complete the things I have planned.

But the people in the Kingdom government are different. Their purpose is to re-establish commercial routes, strengthen the maritime advantages of the Kingdom of England again, and then become a truly unique maritime overlord.

As for the royal family, it is the most silent one. As the representative of the royal family, Sean Donald did not participate in these debates at all. He just asked his subordinates to notify him when they had the results, and then ran to several gold sales dens in the city and stayed there.

Leo and Sylvia naturally did not intend to participate in this debate, nor did they think of telling the Church of the Sea God and the mission of the Kingdom of England that the appearance of the giant figure had nothing to do with the ceremony, but instead had to do with the living room used by the mission's ship related.

Although there are still many secrets hidden in the living body cabin, Leo did not intend to continue to explore, because he could feel that the huge figure appeared mixed with strong anger and hatred, and he carefully checked those who were inadvertently. The sacred objects of the Sea God Church were affected, and it was discovered that the power that caused the destruction of the sacred objects was some kind of curse-like power.

Leo informed Sylvia of this discovery, and after discussing with her, they all felt that the original organism used by the Kingdom of England to make the living chamber was very different from the huge figure that appeared in the gray mist. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the huge figure to be drawn over not long after the living body in that cabin produced the pheromone, and while trying to rush out of the gray fog, attack the place where the pheromone was produced with a cursed force mixed with extreme anger and hatred .

From a certain point of view, the holy objects of the Sea God Church should have withstood a curse attack on behalf of the two of them.

It is very troublesome to explain this kind of thing. In line with one more thing, it is better to have one less thing. Neither Leo nor Sylvia had the idea of ​​telling these things out. They just watched the subsequent development of the matter quietly as a bystander.

This sudden dispute developed very quickly, so fast that it was completely beyond Leo and Sylvia's expectations. The night before, Sylvia received the information reported by her subordinates. Because of this dispute, the Sea God Church may There will be a split, and there will also be disputes over religious authority and political power in the Kingdom of England mission, but the next morning, the latest news is that the Church of Sea God continues to arrange the altar, and the ceremony continues as usual, as if the dispute that happened yesterday never happened. .

It is destined to be a mystery as to why the dispute that was still going on after nightfall suddenly came to a conclusion. All the priests of the Sea God Church and the envoys of the Kingdom of England who participated in the dispute were silent about what happened that night, even Sylvia. There is no way to find out any useful information, the only thing I know is that there was an unusual light in the hall of the Sea God Church where everyone gathered.

"Did you get the revelation from the gods?" Sylvia frowned after reading the relevant information.

"Probably not." Leo shook his head and said, "If it's a revelation from the gods, the movement cannot be so small, let alone the entire Port of Randall, at least there should be some divine power in the Sea God Church and its surrounding areas." The phantom spectacle produced by the dissipation, otherwise it would be impossible for only one church to have an abnormal light."

Thinking of this, Leo got up and went to the altar, and observed the senior priests in charge of the altar layout. These priests also participated in the dispute last night.

However, he didn't find any abnormality from these clergymen, but the strange thing is that these clergymen were arguing with each other yesterday because of whether they should continue the ceremony, and they regarded each other as sworn enemies in the dispute, but now they But there is no gap, the relationship between them seems to be back before the dispute, as if they have forgotten what happened yesterday.

"Could they have been erased from memory?" Leo returned to Sylvia's office after observing these clergy for a while, and said to Sylvia who was processing official documents.

Sylvia was stunned, and said with a smile: "Erasing memory? Erase the memory of nearly 70% of the senior clergy of Randall Sea God Church in the church of Sea God Church? Have you considered the difficulty? Don't say it. An ordinary extraordinary person, even a deity like Bailu may find it difficult to do so."

Leo also nodded in agreement, but he did not change his mind, but added an explanation: "Using extraordinary power to erase other people's memories in a holy temple may be difficult, but what if you don't use extraordinary power? ?”

"Not using extraordinary power?" Sylvia looked at Leo in puzzlement.

Leo then explained to her how to erase a certain part of other people's memories on a large scale without using extraordinary power, and said that this technology is not a sophisticated technology, and the tools made with this technology It is also very common, and when this technology is used to erase other people's memories, a strong light will burst out, just like the light emanating from the sanctuary mentioned in the intelligence.

"Is this technology from the starry sky again?" Although Sylvia couldn't fully understand the technical terms Leo said, she still barely understood what he meant. She then asked with some doubts: "Do you think it is?" Who has this tool in their hands?"

"Sean Donald." Leo replied without thinking.

"Why do you doubt him?" Sylvia asked suspiciously: "According to information, he spent the night in Randall Port last night, and never went to the Temple of the Sea God."

Leo shook his head and said, "I don't have any proof yet, but my intuition tells me it should be him."

Sylvia chose to trust Leo's intuition, and then cautiously reminded Leo to be careful of Sean Donald.

In fact, there is no need for Sylvia to remind, Leo will also be vigilant towards Sean Donald, because if it is true that Sean Donald used the memory erasure device to erase the memory of everyone in the church last night, then Sean Donald must have mastered some high-tech knowledge from the Earth Federation.

The reason why he made such a judgment is because using the memory clearing device to clear the memory area within a specific range requires some high-tech knowledge and tool skills, and being able to use the memory clearing device means being able to use Other technological equipment, even some weapons.
