The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Well, that pilot boy, go to the cockpit and leave it to me." When the pilot ship was about to open, the director of the pilot ship suddenly jumped off the pier. The moment his heavy body fell, the pilot The ship sank, and a large piece of the already rotten deck sank.

Seeing this guy whom they jokingly called Roshan suddenly ran out of the warm office with such enthusiasm, and braved the cold wind outside to be the guide of the guiding ship, this was really abnormal. At this moment, even Benjamin and the ship Others guessed that the guy in front of him might be possessed by a demon, so everyone froze in place, and none of them, including Benjamin Hart, followed orders.

The supervisor finally recovered from the numb feet caused by the fall, and when he looked up, he saw all his subordinates staring at him blankly, and couldn't help but annoyed, "What? What are you still doing in a daze? Are you all doing something?"

"Head, are you okay? After sitting in the chair for so long, do you still know how to guide? Don't put..." The captain of the guide boat seemed to have a good relationship with the supervisor, and he stood up and questioned with a little joke.

"Go away, when I was the guide, were you fucking still cleaning the deck?" The supervisor was a little annoyed by being questioned by his subordinates. He gave the captain a hard look, and then said to the people around him: " Be careful with me later, don't play with those small ideas, don't touch anything with smuggled goods, just be honest with me, do what is written in the manual, don't give me super-standard play."

Hearing the supervisor's lesson, everyone felt a tense atmosphere. Just when everyone wanted to ask more details, they saw a group of heavily armed people coming from the pier. Some of these people were dressed in knights. Armor, some wearing the robes of senior priests, no matter what kind of clothing they wear, they are equipped with three-piece sets of long swords, daggers and shotguns at their waists.

"People from the church? What are they here for? Check for smuggled goods?" Everyone was puzzled by the appearance of this large group of people. Most of these searches are spot checks, and the number of searchers excluded is only three or four at most. There are more than 20 senior clergymen or church knights with great strength from different churches like now, which is really rare, and it can even be said that they are No one has ever seen it, and many people immediately felt that something big might have happened.

Soon a group of people came to the guide boat where Benjamin was, and they jumped on the guide boat without talking nonsense. When everyone boarded the boat, they immediately ordered the boat to sail towards the entrance of the port. The Beloved, towed by the guide boat, sails away.

Faced with this situation, Benjamin and the other hidden barefooters on the ship were also nervous. Although it was rare for members of the church to take the initiative to arrest barefooters, they always believed that the church and the dignitaries wore a pair of pants. So they couldn't help but suspect that the actions of these big figures in the church might be aimed at a key leader of the Barefoot Party.

Because the Otter Federation is regarded as a beacon-like existence by the Barefoot Party, every year, Barefoot Party members from various countries in the mainland set off for the New World from various ocean ports to learn their advanced ideas from the Otter Federation.

Although very few people came back in the end, everyone who came back would become the leader of the Barefoot Party and spread more advanced anti-rich ideas and methods to the entire source continent, so for those rich and powerful, this kind of return from the New World A barefoot leader is far more dangerous than a homegrown barefoot leader.

During the days when Benjamin served as the guide, there were no less than 20 times when the dignitaries of the port cooperated with the dignitaries and special envoys of other countries to round up the barefoot party members who smuggled back to the mainland of origin.

Therefore, when this line of fully armed church knights and senior clergy appeared, although the person in charge was wrong, it was still suspected that they were coming for the barefoot party.

The guiding ship soon approached the Beloved. At this time, the staff with good eyesight on the ship immediately discovered that among the various flags hanging on the Beloved, there was a route inspection-free flag jointly issued by various churches, which represented that the Beloved was on the church route. All ports are exempt from any inspection.

This discovery surprised many people on board, and they couldn't help but ran to the deck curiously to see the flag representing the route's exemption from inspection.

It’s no wonder that the people on board had such a reaction, because this flag can almost be called a legendary flag like them. Many people only heard about this flag and never saw it. Because the church On the other hand, such qualification certificates are rarely issued. Even if there are, they are not for the entire route, but only a secondary inspection-free certificate for a special port. Like this kind of inspection-free and tax-free certificate for the entire route, it is only for the oldest person on board to guide the ship. Only saw it once.

And the discovery of this flag also made another guess that caused some people on the ship nervous. The reason for the appearance of these church leaders is definitely not because of the barefoot party, but because there are several churches on the ship of the Beloved. A very important person.

Sure enough, after the guiding ship docked beside the Beloved, the director of the guiding ship signaled the sailors of the Beloved to put down the rope ladder, followed by several senior clergymen wearing bishop-level church accessories from the rope ladder to the deck of the Beloved boarded, while the other church knights stood quietly on the deck of the guiding ship below, and had no intention of boarding the Beloved.

After about tens of minutes, I saw those bishops from different churches returning to the boat from the rope ladder one after another. At this time, they were no longer coming back by themselves, but a pair of noble couple followed behind them, When the couple appeared, the church knights below seemed a lot nervous. They spread out to isolate the crowd, watched the other people on the boat vigilantly, and put their hands on their weapons to prevent this time. Someone came out of the crowd and attacked the couple.

"Don't be so nervous, I'll be fine." The husband of the couple got off the boat, stood firm, looked at the tense atmosphere around, couldn't help smiling, and said.

"Lord St. Barbarisa, please don't give such wrong orders like you did before." A certain bishop on the side said to the husband rather dissatisfied: "You know that your previous behavior has caused serious damage to the church. Did it cause much trouble? And according to our calculations, you happened to be in the black reef waters where the big accident happened. If it wasn’t for the oracle that showed that you were fine, we almost thought that..." The bishop was signaled by his companions Realizing that this is not the time to talk about these things, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Please stop making such irresponsible decisions, not only for our church, but also for your children. How can parents leave their children behind, and the two of us..."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" The husband immediately interrupted the bishop's sermon, and bowed his head to admit his mistake, but it is not difficult to see from his expression that there is obviously no sincerity in this confession.

Seeing this situation, the bishop didn't say anything, but turned his head away angrily, and the others just smiled wryly, signaling the supervisor to sail back to the shore.

While guiding the ship back, the big man who was protected by the church suddenly spoke again and asked, "What are you going to do with the people on the Beloved? Are you going to lock them up for interrogation too? They don't know anything at all. Even I have lost that memory, let alone the others on board."

"You don't have to worry about it. The people on the Beloved only need to go through the process once. There will be no other problems." The bishop of another church explained to the big man at this time: "In fact, all the people in the accident center at that time were already dead. They were interrogated again, and although they lost relevant important memories at that time, but combined with the previous memories they retained and the situation at the scene, the people in the New World have already speculated what happened."

"Already know what happened?" The big man asked curiously, "Can you tell me?"

The bishop shook his head, saying that he couldn't, but at the same time said in a low voice: "According to speculation, it should be related to the two gluttons and the original greed. In short, Daru was framed by these two. "

The big man wanted to ask something more, but was stopped by several bishops. In the end, until the guiding ship returned to the pier and everyone left, they didn't say another word.

Although Benjamin didn't understand what the big man and the bishop of the church were talking about, he instinctively felt that this should be very important, so after docking, he also took a leave of absence on the grounds that he was unwell, and then came in a hurry Arrived at a stronghold of the local anti-establishment organization, which was a tavern in the lower city.

"I have something important to report, and I want to see Supervisor Joseph." After finding the contact person and getting the signal, Benjamin made the request straightforwardly, and said with an emphatic tone: "This matter is at least as important as Hongyuan's." flower class."

Hearing Benjamin's words, the connector was stunned for a while, and the words he was going to refute were blocked by Benjamin's serious expression, and then he signaled Benjamin to stay in the room for a while, and then walked out of the room alone.

About half an hour later, the door opened, and Joseph, the intelligence director of the resistance organization who had met Benjamin several times, came in, and asked without waiting for Benjamin to speak: "Mr. Is the reported information related to the couple picked up by your guide ship?"

"Yes." Benjamin nodded, then couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Can you tell me who that couple is?"

Supervisor Joseph picked up the wine bottle in the cupboard and poured himself and Benjamin a glass respectively, saying, "The only person in this world who is still alive and has been canonized jointly by several major churches."

Benjamin suddenly realized: "It's him! No wonder the bishop called him Saint Barbarisa."

While muttering, he couldn't help but rejoice that he was able to see this big man at such a close distance.

For the vast majority of people, the gods are remote and untouchable, and some people are also as remote and untouchable as the gods. They want to know things about the gods that can only be read from the books of the church, and they want to Even the things about those legendary figures can only be read in some special books, and this living saint is almost such a legendary figure that is well-known to everyone but no one has seen it. At the same time, he was also envied by Benjamin for a long time in the past And the object of worship.

Supervisor Joseph reminded Benjamin, who was in a trance, "You just told me to report important information about this Saint Barbarisa, right?"

"Yes, there is something to report." Benjamin quickly woke up, and seriously recalled what happened before, and then carefully recounted the conversation between the man and the bishop of the church.

Hearing Benjamin's words, Supervisor Joseph was a little puzzled at first, but soon he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he walked back and forth in the room a few times, and at the same time said to himself: "So this is the matter. , So that’s what happened.”

Although Benjamin was curious about what Supervisor Joseph was thinking, he didn't dare to interrupt the other's train of thought. He didn't try to ask until the other party stopped, "Is this news useful?"

"Useful, very useful," Director Joseph responded positively to Benjamin's question, but quickly changed the topic, and said, "But it's only for the church, for us ordinary people who are so far away from the gods, What this news represents is as far away as the ancient legends recorded in the church scriptures."

Benjamin was at a loss when he heard the words, and had no idea what the other party was talking about.

However, it seemed that Joseph, the supervisor, was not stingy in explaining to Benjamin, so he said in a guiding way: "Do you still remember the big accident that happened more than half a month ago?"

"I know." Benjamin nodded, and said, "The church said that a certain heretic organization launched a catastrophic attack on Cape West, and said that the church had repelled the attack of the heretic organization, and those who were affected by the attack in the city Saved."

Although half a month has passed, Benjamin still has lingering fears when he mentioned this incident. At that time, he really felt that he was about to die. Good impression.

Director Joseph said with disdain: "What kind of shit heresy organization, that's not the case at all. What happened to you and me also happened to the whole source continent, and even people from all countries in the old continent. What do you think? Which heretical organization can do such a thing."

"Isn't it a heretical organization?" Benjamin was stunned and asked.

"Of course not. Those guys in black robes are as dark as their hearts, and they don't have a single word of truth." Manager Joseph obviously didn't like the church at all. It is related to the gods, it seems that a certain god has fallen, and from the news you gave, it is not difficult to guess that the dead god should be Daru, one of the gods of the sea, and the god who attacked is probably the original greed from the New World and gluttons."
