The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The main reason why the Goddess Sanctuary was able to gain a high reputation in such a short period of time, and was believed to be pious to join the Goddess Temple, was because when Chris was building the pier, she controlled Sea God The divine weapon showed everyone the power she possessed, and also established her identity as the incarnation of the sea god.

Because all the places that can be used to build the pier have been occupied, Chris can only use the artifact to directly flatten a cliff near the pier, and then fill the cave under the cliff and remove the bottom of the water. In the end, an extremely good deep-water port foundation was artificially created.

All these miraculous changes happened in front of the eyes of all the people living in Sanhaiwan Port and ordinary people living in Lingdu and surrounding towns, and the process of happening was not very long, and it took less than ten minutes to complete Yes, and the Priest of the Goddess Chris who has done all of this is rightly regarded as the existence closest to the gods.

Even if someone later analyzed that this wasn't Chris's power, it was a miracle accomplished by Chris borrowing the power of the Sea God, hoping to suppress Chris' rapidly expanding reputation.

However, this kind of analysis not only did not suppress Chris's reputation, but instead led to a rapid increase in Chrissy's reputation, which has far surpassed the original three priests of the Sea God Church. Let Archbishop Chris preside over all matters of the Sea God Church, and the Archbishop of the Divine Families abdicates to let the virtuous and other voices.

At this moment, the members of the High Bishop of the Sea God Church began to worry, and had to speed up the reform of the double churches of the Sea God Church, in order to let Chris go out independently before her voice became the only voice of the Sea God Church, so All of them have the money to contribute money, and they are able to contribute. Not only does Chris not need to pay for the funds for the construction of the Goddess Temple, but even the manpower and material resources for the construction of the Goddess Temple’s exclusive pier. It only takes a few days. The most basic part of the foundation has been completed.

When Leo and his recruiters came to the pier, tents had already been set up on the pier, and many people had already lived in the tents. It seemed that they should be recruited from other places. Most of them are people who have a part of the mutation of the sea clan. The mutation status of these people is not particularly large. A small number of facial features have been mutated, and most of them have scales. However, completely normal ordinary people like Leo are very rare. , counting him, there are only a dozen of them.

There are also some people who are also rare, that is, half-merfolk whose bodies have completely mutated. These half-merfolk can barely see some human appearances, but their bodies are completely covered with scales, gills grow behind their ears, and their palms and soles All of them have become webbed, and their body shape has also increased a lot with the mutation, the shortest one is almost three meters high.

These half-merfolk are extremely eye-catching in the camp, and judging by the people gathered around them, their identities should be higher than other ordinary recruiters.

The person in charge of allocating the barracks originally planned to separate the temporary residences of Leo and Sean, because Leo, who does not have any mutations of the sea race, is naturally the lowest, and is only suitable to live in the outermost area of ​​the camp, while Sean Although there are not many mutations on his body, except for some fish scales, he is still regarded as a person blessed by God and will be arranged near the middle of the camp.

However, now Sean is unwilling to live separately from Leo, and now Leo is his only hope to accomplish his goal, so under Sean's strong request, both of them were eventually assigned to the same camp near the periphery.

Leo didn't have any opinion on this, on the contrary, he accepted this arrangement more, after all, it would be easier for him to leave the camp.

Although the camp does not have too strong control over the recruiters, they still need to get the approval of the camp director if they want to leave the camp, because they are worried that some of the recruiters will cause trouble for the Holy Church and damage the reputation of the Holy Church.

This is not because the people in the Holy Church of the Gods are delusional, but that they have indeed caught several spies who got into the hands of the recruiters not long ago. descendants of the Holy Church, and even the prestige of Chris. And the way these spies came up with was to use their current identities to go outside to cause trouble, and the anger of the people in the port would definitely not fall on them, but directly on Chris, the owner of the Goddess Temple.

Therefore, in order to avoid such things that would damage Chris's reputation, the person in charge of the temporary resettlement set up some entertainment venues in the camp, such as taverns, casinos and even brothels, so that those recruiters would not have to leave the barracks and cause trouble outside. .

On the other hand, they also formulated some study plans for recruiting personnel, learning some basic rules of the Holy Church and the basic classics of the Sea God Church, etc., and required the recruiters in the camp to leave the camp only after they had read to a certain level. Playing in the port, so that the recruiters with ulterior motives have no energy and time to run outside.

So when Leo had just settled down, a clergy servant from the Holy Church came to the tent where he was, and explained the classics of the Sea God Church to him, Sean, and other people living in the tent, and told them every day. The requirements that need to be fulfilled, the requirements that have left the camp to go out to play in the port, and so on.

Leo didn't care about this. Although he hadn't read all the classics of the Sea God Church in this world, his database could help him deal with all the problems. As for Sean, he grew up in the Sea God Church in the Kingdom of England. He has served as an attendant of the priesthood for a long time, and although the Poseidon scriptures there are slightly different from those here, most of the prayers to bless the Seagod are surprisingly consistent, so these questions are not difficult for him.

As a result, after the priestly attendant had just finished explaining the content of the volume in the classic that he brought, Leo and Xiao En proposed to go to the port for a walk, and under the assessment of the other party, they passed the test smoothly , obtained the qualification to leave the camp and go to the port for activities.

The cleric servant did not expect that someone would be qualified so quickly, let alone that someone would want to go to the port so soon. In his opinion, these recruited personnel should now stay in the camp obediently. So he didn't know how to make a decision for a while, so he could only leave Leo and Sean to his superiors.

"What do you want to do at the port? If you are going to buy something, we can buy it for you." The boss of the clergyman is an ordinary old priest, and he may often deal with low-level people, so he is not like other priests. High-spirited, but like an old man next door, he said softly: "You should know that there are many people here who are dissatisfied with Lord Chris's establishment of the God's Temple, and they will try to find trouble for us. They may not dare to provoke us priests to ruin our reputation, but you recruited newcomers will definitely become their targets, so if it is not necessary, you'd better stay in the camp."

"We are not going to the port town, but the warehouse area at the port dock." Leo did not interrupt the other party's preaching, and after the other party finished speaking, he said: "We heard that there will be a sale at the dock warehouse Small market for mysterious items, we want to check it out."

After Leo's words came out, Sean on the side couldn't help being stunned. He thought Leo would find an excuse to deceive the other party, but he didn't expect Leo to tell their purpose directly. Although he didn't understand why Leo did this, but He still stood obediently by the side without opening his mouth.

"Do you want to go to the secret market at the pier?" The old priest looked at Leo in surprise, as if he had thought of something, and said, "It is best for God's blessing to evolve naturally. A blessing, nothing but a curse."

The inexplicable words of the old priest made Xiao En stunned for a while, and he didn't understand what it meant, but Leo understood what the old priest said, and knew that the old priest must have misunderstood that he went to the secret market The purpose, but he didn't intend to explain it, as if he didn't speak by default.

Regarding the spike situation, the old priest didn’t say anything more. He quickly filled out two pass cards and handed them to Leo and Sean, telling them how long the certificates are valid for, and they have to come back before the statute of limitations expires, otherwise their recruitment Disqualification would be disqualified, and then they would be waved to leave.

After the two left, they didn't go back to the tent, but went directly to the gate of the construction site, left the construction site with the first entry in their hands, and then walked straight towards the dock warehouse.

As soon as the two of them left, a man dressed like an ordinary sailor came out of the construction site with less obvious body mutation, and quickly chased them in the direction Leo and the others left. When he was about to see Leo and the others , Slowed down his feet again, and followed far behind.

"It's an extraordinary time, so be very careful. Even if two ordinary people leave the construction site, they will send people to monitor." Leo's always open mental net easily caught the tracker's whereabouts, and he couldn't help smiling and said.

"Stalker?" Sean was stunned for a moment, without looking back, and then asked Leo, "What should we do?"

"What should we do?" Leo asked back, and immediately smiled: "If he wants to follow, let him follow. We are not doing something shameful." Then he asked again: "Compared to Those who follow behind, I would like to know what exactly are you planning to trade sea monster conch with?"

Sean didn't hide any more, he took out a palm-sized golden scale from his pocket, and said, "That's it."

Leo felt a little puzzled when he saw this golden scale, because he could not feel any energy fluctuations from the golden scale, nor could he feel any extraordinary power from the pattern on the scale. , there is nothing special about it.

However, Leo didn't think that the golden scale was really as simple as he saw it, because when Sean took out the golden scale, the person who followed far behind seemed to have some supernatural vision and other abilities. , Seeing the thing in Xiao En's hand, his breathing and heartbeat became a lot faster at this time. Obviously, his emotions fluctuated violently because of this golden scale, which is enough to prove that this golden scale is not ordinary.

Leo took the golden scale and looked at it repeatedly, then handed it back to Sean, and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything special about this scale?"

"I don't know either, but the literature left by our ancestors mentioned that this golden scale is of great value." Sean took the scale, put it back in his pocket, and said, "Although I don't know how great the value is, this world People in the industry should know, I think no matter how low the value is, it should be okay to exchange it for a sea monster shell, right?"

"I think it's worth more than just a sea monster." Leo said with a smile.

"Uh, that's right!" At this moment, Sean suddenly thought of something, and said, "I remember where this scale came from. This scale came from a big golden fish called Kakapu."

"Kakap?" Leo heard the words, feeling as if he had seen this word somewhere, and then he thought that Sean used the English Kingdom when he said this word. If the golden fish is a creature in this world, then the name is natural The language of this world must be used, so if the word Kakapu is read in the language of this world, it should be Karop.

"Do I know where this piece of scale came from?" After correcting the pronunciation of the name, Leo immediately found the relevant content in the database, then looked at Sean in some surprise, and said, "I also know that this piece of gold Where is the value of the scale? If you really exchange this scale for the sea monster snail, then you will lose a lot."

"Do you know the origin of this scale?" Sean looked at Leo in disbelief.

Leo explained: "I read a book in the church of the small town outside the Mountain of Despair, which mentioned Karop."

Afterwards, Leo told Sean what he knew while walking.

It turns out that this incident also involved the Sea Clan. The Sea Clan once encountered a huge crisis. What this crisis was and how huge it was was not mentioned in that book, but it was mentioned that the Sea Clan had to deal with it. Moved away from the capital. Later, with the help of a golden sea monster named Kalop, the Sea Clan found a new settlement and settled down. For this reason, the Sea Clan made an agreement with Kalop, as long as someone can hold Carlo The golden scales on Pu's body come to the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan will do their best to help that person fulfill a reasonable wish.

"That is to say, I can take this golden scale to the Sea Clan and make a request?" Xiao En said with a look of surprise on his face after hearing this.

"Of course, the premise is that this golden scale is Karop's scale." Leo nodded, and looked behind him. At this moment, the follower had left, and he seemed to be preparing for something.
