The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

This residual energy fluctuation captured by Leo gave Leo a familiar feeling. This feeling came from the place where everything ends, which is a kind of energy fluctuation that makes people feel dead.

No matter what was stored in that compartment before, the power contained in that thing is absolutely contrary to the purpose of the Baptist Church, and also contrary to the special divine power contained in the land of South Town.

"Could it be that the Baptist Church set up the regional main church here to use the special divine power here to seal a certain object?" Some guesses emerged in Leo's mind, and he said to himself: "However, if this is the case, why put What about moving things away? Could it be that they have found a more suitable place?"

Just when Leo was thinking, a carriage came from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the villa which was the main church. The low-level clergyman in charge of guarding the main church immediately stepped forward, opened the door, and put the people in the carriage Welcome down.

The moment the carriage appeared, Leo recognized from the obvious badge on the carriage that it was a special carriage belonging to the Baptist Church, and it was equipped with a carriage for senior clergy. personnel.

After the people in the carriage got out of the car, Leo immediately recognized that this person was the patriarch of the Baptist Church in the capital of the Outer Federation, because the Baptist Church was recognized by Beruk City and the Outer Federation. , agreeing to its open preaching in the city, and news related to the Baptist Church is also the headline of major newspapers, and the high-level members of the Baptist Church are naturally the main targets of various newspaper reports. The patriarch accounted for more than 40% of all related reports, and his appearance was well known by people in the Otter Federation in a short time.

I have to say that the Patriarch of the Baptist Church Ott Federation has a good appearance, with a thin figure and a thin face. The wrinkles on his face not only did not make him look ugly, but made him look peaceful, giving people a sense of peace. He feels like a grandfather. In addition, his clothing is different from other high-level church leaders. He is not dressed luxuriously. Instead, he wears an ordinary religious robe like ordinary believers, and the religious ornaments on his body are also very simple. Cheap goods such as wooden rosary beads, the overall appearance is very poor, which makes people think that missionaries should be like this.

However, the face of the patriarch at this moment was not as calm as he usually is. After getting off the car, he directly asked the clergy in charge of the reception where the archbishop of this cathedral had gone. After learning that the archbishop had entered the city in the morning Before returning, he walked directly into the villa church, climbed the stairs very familiarly, and came to the completely enclosed compartment.

"Open it!" The patriarch looked at the newly nailed board in front of him. He already had some guesses about the situation inside, but he seemed to have a glimmer of expectation, and said to a church guard who was closely behind him.

Hearing this, the church armed man wearing chain armor immediately took out a two-handed sledgehammer from behind him, raised the hammer and smashed it at the newly nailed wooden board, directly smashing the not-so-thick wooden board to pieces. The empty compartment behind the plank was revealed.

Seeing that the cubicle was empty, the Patriarch's face was particularly ugly, and he said to himself: "He did it anyway, what does he want to do?" While talking, he walked into the cubicle again, Standing in front of a piece of dust with an obvious imprint, he was silent for a while, then turned his head and said to the clergy of the main church who followed him: "Go and call the archbishop of your church back, and tell him that I will wait for him here, let He stops making excuses to avoid me, and if he doesn't come to see me, I won't go back."

Hearing the patriarch's words, the clergyman was a little apprehensive. Although he didn't know what happened between his archbishop and the noble patriarch in front of him, he was sure that such things were not caused by a little boy like him. Accessible to the clergy who are responsible for the daily cleaning of the main church.

So after hearing the order, although the clergyman was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around, rushed out of the church with small steps, boarded the carriage belonging to the main church, and headed towards the city. Direction to drive past.

The patriarch then ordered the accompanying church armed forces to wait outside the main church, and when the archbishop of the main church came, he would let people in without blocking them, while he stayed in the cubicle, kneeling down in front of the dust mark , holding a rosary in his hand, praying in a low voice.

At this moment, Leo's spiritual network also covered the entire main church, controlling all the movements in the church, including the prayers that the patriarch is currently reciting and the power generated by the prayers.

The prayers recited by the patriarch are not any special prayers, but the salvation prayers often used by all religions with doomsday myths. It's nothing more than replacing the god of salvation with the object of one's own belief.

However, the string of wooden beads used by the patriarch is not ordinary. At the beginning, this string of beads was a string of ordinary beads in Leo's spiritual network perception, but for some reason, after matching the prayers recited by the patriarch, The rosary emitted waves of energy waves outward, and this wave of energy waves fell on the Patriarch, making him seem to have turned into a magnet. This magnet was designed to absorb any trace of special energy remaining in the compartment and let it converge into the On the patriarch, this suction even spread to Leo, making him faintly feel the dead energy that he captured was somewhat similar to the energy of the land where everything ends.

According to common sense, after this dead energy enters the human body, even if it does not have fatal side effects, the dead breath will definitely make the absorber fall into an inexpressible despair, and even have a tendency to self-destruct. Only people like Leo A person who has reached the level of a demigod can avoid this side effect, but the problem is that even though this Patriarch absorbs some remaining dead energy, he still remains in good condition and has not been affected at all, and what is more interesting is that this Patriarch The bishop is just an ordinary person, as if he is simply using his will to fight against the strange side effects of the dead energy.

"Will, or something else?" Leo was curious about the mental state of the patriarch, and wanted to check it through the spiritual network, but when his spiritual network approached the patriarch, it was immediately blocked by a powerful force. The power is repelled, the source of this power does not come from the Patriarch, it seems to be produced out of thin air, although with Leo's strength, it is still possible to forcibly dispel this power through the spiritual network Yes, that would definitely alarm the patriarch in the compartment, so he chose to back down instead of forcibly intruding.

After about an hour or so, all the remaining energy in that compartment was collected by the patriarch of the Baptist Church, and the patriarch also suddenly accelerated the speed of recitation of prayers. Net clearly sensed a very weak force emanating from the patriarch, and it overflowed uncontrollably.

"Ash Butterfly?" Leo turned on his vision and looked over the main church. He suddenly saw the energy emanating from the Patriarch's body converging in the air, forming a very vague form of an ashen butterfly. However, this ashen butterfly form quickly dissipated, and the power emanating from the patriarch also disappeared.

The patriarch stopped praying and sat on the ground very tired, panting heavily, as if what he had done just now exhausted all his strength. After recovering a bit, he took out a bottle from his waist , Even drank a few sips of the liquid in the bottle, as the liquid was absorbed by him, his pale face quickly returned to normal, his breathing also stabilized, his fatigue gradually subsided, and everything returned to its original state.

After resting for a while, the Patriarch did not stay in this cubicle any longer, but went downstairs to the sermon room, where he sat quietly, waiting for the regional archbishop of the cathedral to return.

More than half an hour later, the carriage driven by the priest of the main church appeared at the corner of the road in the distance, and soon drove to the gate of the main church. The priest at the position of the carriage driver parked the car , jumped down, and was about to open the door and let the archbishop sitting in the carriage get down, but obviously the regional archbishop was impatient, so he opened the door and walked down without waiting for his subordinates to open the door, and then walked straight into the main church Inside.

This regional archbishop is obviously two diametrically opposed priests to the patriarch of the Otter Federation. The appearance of this regional archbishop is more in line with the world's perception of church priests. He is wearing a priest's robe woven with high-grade fabrics. There are various religious symbols and patterns with mysterious colors on the surface of the priest's robe. Because of the rich nutrition, he looks a little fat. The various religious ornaments on his body are made of precious metals, and they are also inlaid with various gemstones. .

I saw the regional archbishop walking directly past the church armed personnel blocking the door, pushed open the door, and stepped into the main church. When he saw the patriarch sitting on the preacher's chair in front of him, his originally gloomy face changed. He became more and more gloomy, and he didn't seem to treat the other person well, and asked directly: "This is my territory, not your main church. That chair belongs to me, not yours."

"This is the church of the Baptist Church. I can sit anywhere." The patriarch also retorted unceremoniously.

The regional archbishop snorted coldly, and instead of continuing to quarrel with him, he went straight to the point and said, "You certainly didn't come here from the head church just to quarrel with me, and you also didn't want to catch up with me, but to explain that you Why are you here! I have other more important things to do, and I don't want to spend too much time on you."

"Are you still doing that?" The patriarch stood up from his chair, walked to the regional archbishop, and said with a serious face.

Although the patriarch looked thin and thin, he had a very strong aura. When he stood in front of the regional archbishop who was a few heads taller than him, he had a feeling of suppressing the other party.

The regional archbishop also felt the pressure from the opposite side, and knew that he could not confront it head-on, so he took a few steps back to keep a distance from it, weakening the feeling of being suppressed, and then calmly said: "It's none of your business, it's a matter of the Hall of Secrets, and what I have done has been approved by the Higher Hall. If you have the ability to go back to the Old Continent and get the ban from the Higher Hall, stop me!"

The patriarch stared at the other party, and after a while he said, "Although you have the consent of the high hall, don't forget that any decree issued by the high hall of the old continent can be overruled by the church in the mainland."

The regional archbishop sneered and said, "You can go to the mainland church to get the veto decree. As long as you get the decree, I will stop everything now."

The archbishop made the other party's thoughts clear and said: "You know very well that it will take at least half a year for me to go to the mainland church to apply for the banning decree. You want to turn things into facts during this time. Even if I bring the decree Useless."

"Yes, that's what I think." The regional archbishop said without any concealment.

The patriarch was silent for a moment, without saying anything else, walked around the other party's body, and walked outside.

However, the patriarch's attitude made the originally confident regional archbishop a little guilty. When the other party was about to walk out of the main church, he suddenly couldn't help the worry in his heart, turned his head and asked, "What do you want to do?" ?”

This inquiry didn't get any answer, the Patriarch just stopped for a while, then moved on, walked out of the church, got into the carriage and drove out of the town.

The regional archbishop stood there for a long time, and then, as if he had thought of something, he hurried to the upstairs compartment, and entered the compartment for a while, then walked out again, and ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the church. Then he left South Town in a carriage.

Leo spied on what happened in the main church through the spiritual network from the beginning to the end, and heard their conversations. Although there was not much substantive content, he knew at least two things. One thing is that the district president here The bishop is doing something, and this thing has been approved by the Baptist Church on the Old Continent, but the patriarch of the Otter Federation maintains objections to this matter, and it seems that he intends to stop it. Another thing is that what the regional archbishop is going to do should be related to the things stored in the compartment, and that thing is very likely to be related to the ash butterfly in the place where everything ends.

If this matter is connected with the various baptism and evangelistic ceremonies held by the Baptist Church in Beruk, Leo has reason to believe that some kind of existence in Lake Beruk may be the key to the plan of the regional archbishop. .

When the archbishop left, Leo didn't follow him, and he didn't need to, because the archbishop's whereabouts were very easy to find out, and he could easily find him if necessary.

Now he felt that it was too boring to participate in such a fun event by himself, so Sylvia should also participate.
