The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the distant mountaintop, through the towering forest, through the thick city wall, and shone on the top of the obelisk in the City of Hope. The morning bell placed on the top began to shake under the mechanical drive Get up, and let out a crisp and loud bell, awakening the whole city from its deep sleep.

The whole city immediately fell into a carnival. Today is the coronation ceremony of Tolan I, and the Bodo Kingdom will become an official kingdom today. Therefore, except for the necessary departments and the army, the Bodo Kingdom government is on holiday for three days. Day, and during these three days all food and wine are free to celebrate the coronation of Tolland I.

The envoys of various countries also rushed to the Star Palace where the coronation ceremony was held in the early morning. The court attendants who had been waiting there brought the envoys of various countries to the positions prepared for them. These positions were carefully arranged. Rank the seats according to their influence, affinity and overall strength.

After the envoys from various countries took their seats, they couldn't help but look towards a position at the front of the viewing platform. The situation over there was a bit abnormal. There were obviously more than a dozen positions, but there was only one person sitting there, and the mood of the person sitting there seemed to be It was very bad, his face was tied tightly, as if someone owed him a big debt and didn't pay it back, everyone looked vicious.

As the largest country in the Mozambique continent, even though the relationship between the Kingdom of America and the Kingdom of Bodo is very bad, it can be said that it is in a state of hostility, but the Kingdom of Bodo still reserved seats for the Kingdom of America to watch the ceremony according to etiquette.

When the ceremonial officials in charge of the coronation ceremony prepared the seats, they never thought that the Kingdom of America would send people to attend the coronation ceremony, just to show the atmosphere of the Bodo Kingdom in front of the envoys of various countries, but what people never expected was that the Kingdom of America would actually An envoy was sent. Although there was only one envoy, his status was very high. He was Prince Will, the second in line heir to the Kingdom of America, and one of the few leaders of the real power army in the Kingdom of America.

Not only the Bodo Kingdom was a little overwhelmed by the move of the United Kingdom, but even the envoys from other countries were also surprised. They subconsciously believed that Prince Will’s visit to the ceremony was fake, and their actual purpose was to be at the coronation ceremony. Do something to cause the Bodo Kingdom to suffer a loss of fertility.

The envoys from various countries would think of this, and the ceremonial officials of the Bodo Kingdom naturally thought of this. They were extremely worried about this, so they notified the general in charge of the coronation ceremony security. For this reason, the general immediately sent several patrol teams in charge of security , and sent additional manpower around the seat of the Kingdom of America, in order to control the situation as soon as something happened, and avoid the coronation ceremony being aborted due to accidents.

As the envoy of the Kingdom of America, Prince Will of course felt the undisguised increase in surveillance personnel around him, and he also understood what the people in charge of security thought in his heart. He already felt that the mood of the fire had become worse. , He even had the idea of ​​making trouble at the coronation ceremony.

However, this kind of thought can only flash in my mind for a moment. Although he is reckless, impulsive, and arbitrary, he is not a fool. Via's character is absolutely impossible for him to leave City of Hope alive.

Although he couldn't vent his anger here, he had already remembered the person who caused him to be sent here to be humiliated. When he returned home, he would make that person regret everything he had done. Even if he has a high status in the Kingdom of America and California.

However, the attention focused on him did not last long, and soon the envoys from the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Deliyat became the center of everyone's attention.

The Kingdom of England is now the real overlord of the sea. There is no country in the entire world of Velen that can compete with it on the sea. The previous Kingdom of Sigma thought that it was at sea when the mutant monster appeared, so it did not prepare in advance and was mutated. The monster was caught off guard, and several important ports fell. Only a few cities such as the capital remained unbroken. Now it can be said that it can't take care of itself, and it is even more impossible to send any fleet to compete with the Kingdom of England for maritime supremacy.

There was even news recently that the Kingdom of Sigma had intentionally merged into the Kingdom of Eng, on condition that the Kingdom of Eng would help them clean up the mutated monsters in the country.

If this news was just an ordinary news circulating in the market, no one would believe the authenticity of this news, but the problem is that the party that spread the news is the Church of Sea God, which is also regarded as the state religion by the Kingdom of Sigma, so this news has a huge impact. May be true.

If the Kingdom of England really annexed the Kingdom of Sigmar, then the Kingdom of England would inevitably become the absolute sea supremacy, and the Kingdom of England would be eligible to be changed into the Empire of England.

As a country that may achieve great achievements in the empire in the future, coupled with the fact that it controls the oceans of the world of Velen, it is reasonable for the Kingdom of England to be the center of attention, and the reason why many small countries even came to watch the ceremony is to take the opportunity to compete with the Kingdom of England Build a good relationship and pave the way for possible future maritime trade.

If the Kingdom of England is so important in the hearts of the envoys of the Mozambique continent, the reason is not only the power of the Kingdom of England itself, but also the interests contained in maritime trade, then the Kingdom of Daliyat is purely power, because from various rumors Look, the Kingdom of Daliyat is likely to unify the entire Minsk continent, becoming the second empire that truly unified a continent after the Faran Empire.

The Kingdom of Ice and Snow, Dailiat, is a mysterious and distant country to most countries in Mosang. Even most people in Mosang mainland think that ice and snow is the name of this kingdom, because Mosang has never snowed. , Naturally, I don't know what snow is.

After all the news about the Ice and Snow Kingdom spread to the Mosang Continent, people in the Mosang Continent would listen to it as a fairy tale, especially after the Queen of the Ice and Snow Kingdom publicly announced that she had become a demigod, which further confirmed that this is a fairy tale, and No one thinks the Snow Queen is a demigod either.

For the people of the Mosang Continent, the only enviable thing about the Ice and Snow Kingdom is that there has never been a wave of mutated monsters there, and the life there is no different from that before the Year of Fog Disaster. It is said that it is an era in which people can walk safely on the earth, and it is also an era of peace, although this peace needs quotation marks.

However, in the past few years, the ice and snow kingdom Dailiat, who had been staying in its own country without any movement, has been making frequent moves. First, the cities and territories bordering it announced to separate from their respective countries and join the ice and snow kingdom.

According to the past practice, these rebels will definitely be wiped out by the army of the Kingdom of Savile and the Kingdom of Marris, and all those who lead the rebellion will be executed.

But now the main forces of the two kingdoms are trapped in the capital and some important cities, and dealing with the endlessly emerging mutant monsters has already taken up all the energy of these armies, let alone going to Deliyat, which is already the strongest in the Minsk continent. The kingdom is gone. With the strength of Deliyat's army, it is completely possible to easily defeat and even encircle and suppress the already exhausted armies of the two countries.

On the one hand, there is no consumption in the year of the fog disaster, and the national power has been completely preserved after all, and the powerful country has leapfrogly improved; on the other hand, the two suffered heavy losses in the year of the fog disaster. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Kingdom of Deliyat launches an expedition to the south, it will take at most one year to completely annex the entire Minsk continent.

But the Kingdom of Daliyat did not do that, because for Daliyat now, the biggest obstacle is not the fragmented regime and army of the two kingdoms, but the two churches deeply rooted in the two kingdoms, The Church of the King of the Hill and the Church of the Lord of Birth and Death.

Although the Church of the Lord of the Sky is called the First Church of Velen by the world, and it claims to be so, even the fanatical believers of the Lord of the Sky know that it is not considered the influence of the church. In terms of the strength of the church itself, The two ancient churches, the King of the Hill and the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death, are not much worse than the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

These two churches are like two huge mountains, standing in front of all those who try to unify the Minsk continent. Some people joked that even if the Knight King is resurrected, there is no way to complete the unification of Minsk under the suppression of the two churches. Continental greatness.

However, this situation seems to have changed now. Not long ago, there was news that the Church of the Snow Lady, the Church of the Hill King, and the Church of the Lord of All Things Birth and Death held a semi-public religious meeting. The content of the previous part of the talk Most of them are things like the three churches cooperating to eliminate the mutated monsters. The content of this part is made public, and the latter part is about the possibility of the merger of the three kingdoms, but this part of the content has not been made public.

However, judging from the follow-up exchanges between the three major churches, and the deployment of some troops from the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Savile, it seems that the three major churches have reached a certain consensus during the talks, and this consensus is likely to be the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. Daliat annexed the two southern countries to form a single continental empire.

The Ice and Snow Kingdom Dailiat may be too far away for the people and countries of the Mosang Continent, and it has no deterrent power, but if a Minsk Continental Empire, even if that empire is on the other side of the ocean, its deterrent power is still enough for people The countries in Mozambique feel nervous, especially the master of this empire is still a demigod who is hard to distinguish between true and false.

Therefore, when the envoys of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Daliyat were led to their positions, some countries from the Mozambique continent immediately gathered to chat with them and conduct some untimely diplomatic exchanges.

After the envoys from various countries were arranged at the seats, it didn't take long for the envoys sent by various churches in the Vinylon world to observe the ceremony, and they were also brought into the Star Palace one after another. After the churches came to the Star Palace one after another.

Among this group of people, the most eye-catching one is the White Hart Church. The reason why it has attracted attention is not only because the White Hart Church is a new church, its appearance is extremely legendary, and it is related to the mysterious Black Forest. More importantly, Among the messengers of the White Deer Church, there are two very strange beings, they are two tree demons.

Although the dryad has a deer's lower body, a human's upper body, and a pile of huge antlers on it, its appearance is extremely strange, but for those who have seen various mutant monsters, this strange appearance is not the focus of their attention. What they focus on is the graceful figure and beautiful face of the dryad. Even the pious believers who practice asceticism will not be able to help but become breathless when they see these two beautiful aliens with open chests and breasts. In a hurry, many people have the illusion that the surrounding air has become thinner and their breathing is a little difficult.

However, everyone here still knows restraint and control. Before making a joke, they turned their attention to other places and controlled their instinctive emotions. Some well-informed and seasoned diplomats quickly returned to normal, and they Only then did I discover a problem. Among the churches present, a very important church, the Lady of the Lake Church, was missing.

Although the White Hart Church is the church with the most believers in Hope City and the surrounding Bodo area, the Lady of the Lake Church is not much worse than the White Hart Church at all, because Sylvia, the leader of the Dodd Group, is the Lady of the Lake. Sylvia is also the priest of the Lady of the Lake Church, and has a certain influence in the Lady of the Lake Church.

Although the protagonist of this coronation ceremony is Tolan I, not Queen Silvia, the relationship between the Church of the Ladies of the Lake and Tolan I is equally good. Tolan I spent most of his childhood in the Church of White Hart, The Ladies of the Lake Church and the headquarters of the Dodd Group moved back and forth between the three places, so Tolan I’s attitude towards the Ladies of the Lake Church is no worse than that of the White Hart Church. No matter how you say it, the Ladies of the Lake Church should send important people to participate in this event. It's the next event.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Leo Dodd and Sylvia Belmont, surrounded by a large number of court attendants, entered the Star Palace and walked directly to the front Crystal Throne. Take your seat.

Just after the two sat down, they didn't talk to each other, but just waited quietly. The conversation in the Star Palace gradually became smaller and finally disappeared. All the envoys and envoys returned to their seats, and everyone was waiting. The start of the coronation ceremony.

After a long time, with a burst of loud horns blowing outside the Palace of Stars, the Pope of the Ladies Church in the Lake was seen holding a seven-color crystal crown on a piece of animal skin emitting divine light. Surrounded by the solemn guard of honor of the church, they slowly walked into the Palace of Stars, and everyone who witnessed all this also understood why the Lady of the Lake Church did not sit with them.
