The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Di Garro put the books back in the underground library, and then led the crowd back to the main church.

"Your church is in trouble." However, when they came to the side door of the church, Leo suddenly stopped and said.

Di Garro was stunned for a moment, then looked at Leo in confusion, he didn't seem to take Leo's words seriously, and continued to push the door and walked into the church.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and walked in without saying anything.

It's just that Joan didn't continue to walk in, but stood at the door, looked at the Rock Temple in front of him as if he was looking at some monster, then stepped back quickly, and he also pulled out the knight sword, and stretched out his hand to press it On the holy emblem of the Lord of Illusion on the knight armor on the chest, a special sacred word was quickly recited in the mouth, and the body instantly entered a state between virtual and real.

And at the same time that Joan's body was changing, a breeze swept over the place where he was just now, and where the breeze swept, the bricks and stones appeared corrosive mottled as if they had experienced a long time, and those plants It also withered quickly, and the land became even more dry and desertified.

Joan, who was not affected, quickly climbed to a nearby building, then stood on a high place and looked around, quickly locked on the target, jumped from above, and then headed towards the outside of the church and the street. Somewhere across the building ran past.

While running, he also turned to the rock temple behind him from time to time, but when he looked around, his eyes always showed a look of fear, because at this moment, the rock temple was no longer a religious building in his eyes. The building is a monster, a fleshy monster with sharp teeth and a big mouth, and the side door that Leo, Silvia, and Di Gallo walked in before is also a big mouth of the monster.

He is not running away in fear at this moment, he is rushing to the source of the monster, because he found that there are several pipe-like things extending from the monster's body from the air, extending to a building across the street from the Rock Temple .

Soon Joan ran to the building, but he was a little hesitant at the moment, because this building also turned into a monster, but the shape and ferociousness of this monster could not be compared with the monster turned into the Rock Temple. Than, but it is still very dangerous for him.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the worries in his heart, Joan buried his head and slammed into the monster's big mouth, which was the entrance door of this building, and the powerful impact also knocked the door open instantly. He also rushed into the building, but in his eyes, the scene inside the building was a esophagus full of sharp teeth and shots.

Just when Joan found the source of the abnormal situation and was about to use his own ability to solve the trouble at the source, Digaro, who was the first to enter the Rock Temple, also fell into trouble.

The moment he just entered the Rock Sanctuary, he immediately realized what the trouble Leo was talking about was. The moment he walked into the side door, the surrounding scene changed instantly and became a scene that he felt familiar with. Scenes from the Mount Baker Front.

Just like other senior priests of the Rock Church in Nice City, he was also transferred here from the Old World, and before he was transferred, he was the commander of the church's frontline small theater on the Mount Baker front.

For churches in the Old World, working in the New World is equivalent to retirement and vacation, because in the New World, although the relationship between the major churches is not very good, it is not particularly bad, at least the conflicts between churches It rarely expands into a war, and most of them are resolved through negotiation and other methods. Therefore, the safety of the clergy of the church in the New World is far greater than that in the Old World.

However, in the Old Continent, almost all the churches have deep enmity with each other. Once a conflict arises, it is difficult to resolve it through negotiation, and often a so-called holy war will be launched, so the church knights in the Old Continent are basically Some of the fighters who have been on the battlefield are even directly promoted from the battlefield.

Mount Baker is located in the northern central plateau of the Old Continent. It is the junction of six plateau countries and a sacred place recognized by more than a dozen religions, including the Rock Church. Therefore, the Mount Baker area is the most complicated area in the entire Old Continent. More than a dozen religions from six countries have occupied a piece of land in this area, and they all claimed ownership of the Mount Baker area. No one would back down, and the result naturally turned into a war.

More than a hundred years have passed since the first war in the Mount Baker area, and there have been more than a dozen large-scale wars joined by more than ten forces, while other smaller wars have occurred almost every year and every month .

The church knights of the Rock Church will go to the Mount Baker area to participate in a war at least once, and some of them have directly changed from church knights to war knights, and have been guarding the battlefield all their lives.

For the vast majority of church knights in the Rock Church, the experience of Mount Baker is a glory, a feat, and something to be proud of for a lifetime. The most disgusting and shameful thing is precisely because of this reason, so when the church asked him if he would be willing to be stationed in the New World, he immediately agreed, because for him at that time, it was impossible to go anywhere. The most important thing is to stay away from that ghost place of Mount Baker.

However, Jean Di Garro never thought that he would use this method to return to the front of Mount Baker, back to that war, or more correctly, back after the war, because the surrounding ground is covered with Some of them were comrades-in-arms, some were enemies, the situation was exactly the same as back then, the only difference was that he was not injured.

Although he knew very well that everything in front of him was just an illusion, he still couldn't restrain the repulsion and nausea in his heart, and there was even an irresistible urge to turn around and flee away from here in the depths of his heart.

Perhaps due to the influence of this strong emotion, Di Garro suddenly became clearer. He immediately remembered that his reaction to Leo and the others was too abnormal. Not only did he not hold them accountable for trespassing in the sanctuary, Instead, he obeyed the other party's suggestion, and even ran to take out the records of God's War that were secretly collected by the temple, and showed it to the other party. Such an unreasonable decision.

"Did he come for the top stone?" A question immediately appeared in DiGaro's mind, but he quickly denied himself in his heart: "No, he is not, otherwise, he has already done it, he should It’s for collecting books.”

Although Di Gallo is not clear about the purpose of Leo and Sylvia's coming to the Rock Temple, but now is not a good time for him to think about these things. There are greater dangers and more important things waiting for him. It is necessary to try to escape from the illusion created by this unknown person and deal with these attackers.

Just when he thought of breaking away from the hallucination, his thoughts seemed to trigger something. The originally noisy battlefield hallucinations instantly became dead silent, and then he saw piles of comrades-in-arms and allies on the ground. He and the enemy's corpses got up from the ground, standing stiffly and twisted, and all the corpses stared at him.

Most of these corpses are adults, but there are also a large number of children aged eleven or twelve. These children wear ill-fitting military uniforms and hold weapons taller than themselves in a large group. It looked very abrupt among the adult corpses.

After the corpses of these children stood up, they walked towards Digaro slowly with stiff steps, and the corpses in front of them also automatically moved out of the way.

And when the corpses of these seemingly harmless children approached, emotions such as tension, guilt, and sadness appeared on DiGaro's face, and even these emotions affected his will to fight, making him have to fight. Only with extra strength can he grasp the shield of the warhammer in his hand.

The corpses of these children soon walked in front of Digaro, with gray and white eyes waiting for Digaro, and then almost all the corpses of the children said a word in the common language of the Northland at the same time, and the word was mother.

When these corpses said the word mother, Di Garro couldn't help but backed up a few steps, and his backing made the holy emblem of the Rock Church on his chest dim.

At this moment, the scene of that year appeared in Di Garro's mind. Because of the century-old war, the population of all countries has been greatly reduced, and most of them are adult casualties. This also makes the countries participating in the war and the church The recruiting age for soldiers has gradually been lowered, and now all children aged eleven or twelve have been recruited into soldiers.

In a war that Digarro participated in that year, three countries and two churches participated in it, and these five parties, including the Rock Church, all sent such child soldiers to the battlefield.

After the war, the Rock Church executed some of the captives as the victor, most of them were child soldiers who were still ignorant, and the person responsible for the execution task was Di Garro.

At that time, Di Gallo watched child soldiers being executed in front of him, and those child soldiers did not shout words such as "long live the kingdom, God is watching us" before they died like other adults, they Before he died, he cried and called his mother. Just like other children living in peaceful areas, when they are most helpless, the first thing they think of is their mother.

This incident brought Digaro a great shock and blow. At one point, he almost doubted the teachings of the Lord of Stone, and almost lost his ability to teach knights.

Now even though many years have passed, the hallucination in front of him has awakened that memory again. The uncomfortable feeling has not weakened in the slightest, but has strengthened a lot, and it is like a battering hammer hitting a city gate, trying to destroy his body. Will line of defense.

Under the impact of waves of strong guilt, Di Garro seemed to be caught in a complex emotion of guilt, anger, resentment and even hatred, and as if defending himself, he shouted loudly: "Shut up! This is not me It's not my fault, I didn't do it, and I didn't order it!"

As he spoke, he saw that he raised the shield and war hammer without hesitation, and like a suicide, he rushed directly into the corpse of the child in front of him, and crazily moved towards all the corpses he could see. After smashing it, the whole person completely fell into a state of ecstasy and rage.

"Sure enough, that guy is right. Di Jiaro really has a mental weakness. Now, after he is berserk and his body is weak, he can be completely dealt with." At this time, standing under the top stone The person in the black robe looked at the image of Digallo in the illusion in the crystal ball in his hand, and said to himself with a little bit of satisfaction: "Who would have thought that we were not aiming at the top stone from the beginning?" You came here, but you are here against this rocky wall?"

Perhaps feeling that Di Garro was doomed, the man in black robes began to adjust the crystal ball to see what happened to other people who had broken into the hallucination field.

However, what surprised him was that when he adjusted the crystal ball to the side of the male intruder, he found that the inside of his crystal ball was pitch black and he could not see anything.

At first, he thought he had made a mistake in using it, so he adjusted it a few more times, but soon he confirmed that he was right. The darkness in the crystal ball was the thing that most aroused the male intruder's heart. The illusion created.

This made him feel a little tricky, because he couldn't do any operations in such a dark scene, because he couldn't figure out whether it was the darkness itself that easily made the man emotional, or there was something in the darkness that made the man feel strongly. mood swings.

Eventually he had to give up dealing with the man as he had done with DiGaro, and instead controlled the crystal ball to see the image transfer to the woman's strongest emotional hallucinations.

However, just as he shifted over, he saw that the entire crystal ball had turned into an eyeball with vertical pupils, and this eyeball seemed to have penetrated the magic spell he cast, staring at him.

However, at this moment, this senior priest of the mysterious church of unknown origin can't do anything anymore, because the moment the crystal ball turned into an eyeball and stared at him, he immediately felt a feeling as if he was facing a god. The illusion, the body also lost control in an instant, and the whole person's spirit fell into an inexplicable madness and confusion.

At the same time, his body also mutated at an extremely fast speed, the teaching robe was crushed by the swelling muscles and fat, and soon a deformed meat ball quickly formed on the spot, and a large number of tentacles grew from the surface of the body When it came out, there were mouths full of sharp teeth growing on the top of the tentacles.

These tentacles do not seem to be controlled by their body masters, because when these tentacles take shape, they stretch out, trying to find the food needed to supplement the body's rapid mutation, but the results seem to be unsatisfactory, In the end, these tentacles aimed at the source of the devoured object, and the body that was deformed into a meat ball bit off the body of the meat ball like earthworms, drilled into the body, and quickly devoured all flesh and blood.

Finally, when all the flesh and bones were devoured, these tentacles entangled with each other, shrunk and condensed, turned into a palm-sized ball, and fell to the ground together with the crystal ball.
