The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The development of the matter was completely beyond Tagash's expectations. He had only sensed that there was even that god-fated person and higher-level priests on board the ship after he entered the legendary state just now. Breakthrough improvement, a moment of excitement, I took the initiative to contact those two colleagues, but what I got was the enemy of the Eye of Reality.

And if the other party is not bragging, the degree of hostility of the other party can even be said to have reached the level of a deadly enemy. After all, no incarnation of a god has been killed in this world.

Just now, he tried to pray to the gods, but he couldn't get any response. Although he had prayed in the past, he also didn't get any response, but this time he had an inexplicable feeling that the gods didn't respond because of the current situation. This pair looks like a couple of great nobles from a certain country.

Now he doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​resistance, even if the enemy of the gods is in front of him, the perennial life at sea has taught him to compromise, and it's the same now, so when Leo put forward his suggestion, he didn't think about it at all, so he nodded and agreed down.

Afterwards, he told his past experiences very honestly, including the details about the Eye of Truth, and he must satisfy Leo.

In Tagash's detailed narration as much as possible, Leo knew that the old sailor in front of him who had spent most of his life at sea did not actually grow up by the sea, but in the depths of the old continent, in a certain mountain The son of Orion in a small country.

The time when he received the revelation of the Eye of Reality was much earlier than Leo expected. When he was a child of seven or eight years old, he received the divine revelation of the Eye of Reality for the first time. In that revelation, he lived He suffered a serious illness that brought him very close to death, and then he became a believer of the Eye of Truth.

As for why in the town where he was at that time, only he had received the revelation of the Eye of Reality, and no one else had. He couldn't figure it out at the time. It was only when he grew up and recalled this past that he realized it. Now, all of this may have something to do with what he got from that corpse.

The small country in the mountains where they live is very poor, and there is very little arable land. Most of the daily food needs are purchased from neighboring countries.

Lords buy food with ore from the mines on the mountain, while ordinary people can only rely on the prey they hunt on the mountain to buy food, so the people in the small country in the mountains are hunters.

Normally, these hunters would hunt common animals on the mountain, but if they found better prey, they wouldn't mind being a robber as well.

Because the geographical location of the small country in the mountains is very special, it happens to be connected to the borders of several countries. If the goods to and from various countries pass directly through the small country in the mountains, not only can the delivery time be greatly shortened, but also a large sum of money can be avoided. tax, even able to smuggle some high-value contraband.

For the hunters in the small country in the mountains, these fat sheep are the best prey, but most of the fat sheep are armed to the teeth, and it is difficult to kill them. They can only choose those who are easy to deal with, so every robbery is for those who For the village where the hunter is located, it is no less than a carnival feast.

During the feast, the hunters will bring all the harvest of the hunt to the village, and then let the village chief distribute it according to the ancestral system, and the rest will be handed over to the women in the village to clean up. Put some things on the corpses, and finally let the children of each family go up and search them again. Anything they find belongs to the searchers.

Tagash still remembered that it was the fifth time he participated in such a feast, but he was very unlucky in the past few times, either he found nothing, or he found it and was snatched away, so this time, he grew up. Mind, no matter what you find on the corpse, don't look at it first, put it in your mouth and save it, and when it's over, go home and look at it slowly.

Therefore, when he found a strange-looking but extremely exquisite pendant from a corpse wearing a priest's robe, he immediately stuffed the pendant into his mouth.

However, what puzzled him was that when he returned home and wanted to check what the pendant was, when he took the pendant out of his mouth, he found that the pendant was rusty and not as beautiful as he thought at first.

He felt strange about it and told his family about it, but the family just thought it was too dark at that time, he couldn't see things clearly, and the people around him made him nervous, so they regarded a rusty pendant as precious jewelry.

At that time, Tagash was still very young, so naturally he couldn't make any useful judgments. He could only listen to his family's words and think that he was indeed wrong.

Thinking about it afterwards, he felt that this pendant, which he could not remember clearly now, should be the reason why he obtained the revelation of the Eye of Reality, because the day after he got the pendant, he fell ill, and in that serious illness that was almost dying During this time, his consciousness fell into a state called the holy guide, in that state he obtained the revelation of the true eye, and became a believer of the true eye, and obtained the gift of the true eye. The gods of the arts.

The divine spell he obtained at that time had no name, and its function was to be able to find prey, big or small, blocked by various obstacles within a certain range, so he named this magical spell Finding Prey.

With this magical technique, he became the most outstanding hunter in the village before he became an adult, and his reputation even spread throughout the small country in the mountains. Many of the strongest hunters in the village came to him for a competition, but the results of the competition were inconclusive. The exceptions all ended with him winning, and the scalps of those challengers were hung all over the walls by him.

After he became an adult, he became recognized as the strongest hunter in the small mountain country, and even the lord sent someone to invite him to join the lord's guard and become an official knight.

If, at that time, Tagash accepted the invitation of the lord, joined the lord's guard, and became a knight, then he might have stayed in his hometown for the rest of his life, and eventually became a local nobleman by virtue of his meritorious deeds, acquiring some land or mines.

But in the end he did not choose to stay in his hometown, because he wanted to see the outside world, or more accurately, the gods wanted him to leave the small country in the mountains and go to the outside world to see.

Because on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he received the revelation of the gods for the second time. During the revelation, he obtained the second kind of magic, a healing magic that can heal wounds, and he also sensed a hint of the thoughts of the gods.

Afterwards, he left his hometown and wandered around the surrounding countries. He worked as a robber and mercenary, and participated in a war that broke out between the two countries. Finally, he left the inner city during a mission to protect a caravan. Lu, came to a country by the sea.

When he saw the ocean for the first time, he was completely shocked by the ocean. At that time, he thought that the ocean was his destination, and he also received the revelation of the gods for the third time, and got the third kind of magic. The magic can let him identify the direction, discover the reefs on the bottom of the sea, and see through the deadly dangers hidden in the mist at sea. This kind of magic is also named by him as the navigation technique.

At that time, he was on the local pier, and happened to meet Hailesa who had suffered a disastrous defeat, was hiding to repair the ship, and recruited sailors. He boarded Hailesa's Beloved and became Hailesa's navigator. It's been decades, until now.

Hearing this, Sylvia suddenly asked a crucial question, "During your decades of life at sea, have you met any other believers or priests of the Eye of Reality?"

Tagash, who was going to be vague, saw that the other party had discovered the thing he had deliberately hidden, so he didn't insist on continuing to hide it, but honestly told what he knew.

It turned out that over the years, he not only met the secret believers and clergymen of the True Eye hidden in various countries, even in various churches, but even used the convenience of his identity to act as a messenger for these believers and clergymen.

The Eye of Reality does have a church organization, but its church is more like a parasitic vine attached to other churches or organizations. It has not been discovered by the Church of True God in this world, classified as a heretical church or a church of evil gods, and has not stood in the sunshine. Develop your own church organization.

From Tagash's description, it is not difficult to hear that the church organization of the Eye of Truth is very loose, so loose that the believers and clergy of the church call the Eye of Truth of their faith according to their own ideas, and even the doctrines they understand are different. , the church classics used are very different.

For example, Tagash knew the name of the Eye of Truth when he received the divine revelation for the third time, but his understanding of the Eye of Truth was completely different from the teachings of the Eye of Truth in Velen’s world. The teaching is to explore the unknown and discover the truth of the world, so adventure and exploration are the essence of the eye of truth in his opinion.

However, some believers believe that the eye of truth is to discover the evil nature of this world. Only by discovering and understanding the essence can one transcend the essence. Leading the people of this world to escape the evil nature is the core of their teachings, so they will think of them as thinkers and revolutionaries. With his identity, he travels around the world, exposing the nature of society under false prosperity, and launching uprisings at the bottom.

In addition, there are some weirder clergymen. These people are almost all senior clergymen of various churches. While they believe in the true God of their church, they also perfectly take into account the status of clergymen with the Eye of Reality. Develop believers.

Their teachings are even more absurd. They believe that all gods are real, whether they are true gods, evil gods, or monsters comparable to gods, but the real eye is the most real. What they have to do is use The reality of the Eye of Reality overrides the reality of other lower levels, and finally returns the world to its true nature.

To be honest, when Leo and Sylvia heard this, they were a little stunned. They never thought that after the Eye of Truth came to this world, they would develop so many teachings and ideas. They even doubted that the Eye of Truth Are you crazy? You must know that the core of a church’s teachings is the essence of the gods. The essence needs to be pure to complete a higher evolution, and the messy essence will only decimate those demigods and false gods who try to ascend to the position of true gods. Fell into madness and eventually self-destructs, and now the True Eye seems to have this tendency.

"Are you sure that you all believe in the same God's Eye of Truth?" Leo asked with some doubts at this time.

"Of course, the magic spells bestowed on us by our lord are the same. If it is not the same god, how can we bestow the same magic spells?" Tagash has already seen that as long as he answers the other party's questions honestly, he will lose his life. Therefore, his emotions have calmed down, and the tone of his answer will become normal. I saw that after answering this question, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added: "However, although it is the same kind of magic , but the effect is different depending on the person who uses it. For example, my divine technique finds prey, and when I use it in the hands of some other clergy, it becomes a search for heresy, or to discover the low-level people who can develop, etc. "

"It sounds like the Church of the True Eye will be exposed at any time, and the structure is too loose." Sylvia found a doubt, and asked tentatively: "Who do you remember from the Church of the True Eye? Come out and listen."

When Tagash heard the words, he smiled wryly, and said, "Sorry, ma'am. I can't say it." He was worried that Sylvia would misunderstand, and quickly added: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's true I can’t come out, those people are very vague in my memory, unless I meet them in person, I can’t remember anything about them at all, and I can’t even tell anyone about the church.”

"Then why are you able to tell us?" Sylvia asked.

Tagash was stunned, as if he was a little surprised by this situation, but he quickly thought of something, turned to look at Leo, and said: "This may be related to the mark of my lord on your body. Your Excellency here is a very high-ranking clergyman in the church, and I don't need to hide anything in front of Your Excellency."

"In this case," Leo said, he suddenly activated his spiritual vision ability, activated the divine imprint of the eye of truth, and let it cover the entire room, and ordered: "I order you to combine everything you know with the truth. The person related to the Eye will tell."

As Leo's words fell, Tagash's original vague memories of other church members became clear in an instant, as if the foggy glass had been wiped clean, and he couldn't control his mouth. And thoughts, the whole person seemed to be controlled, and he told all the identities of the congregants he knew.

At the same time, Leo and Sylvia also quickly recorded the secret list of the Church of the True Eye, and while recording, they were also very surprised, because the hidden members of the True Eye church and priests in the list Among the personnel, several people are very famous, so famous that the two foreigners have seen their information in different sources.
