The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Almost at the moment when the imprint of God's Punishment Magic in Leo's body was activated, in the reception room of the main building of the Holy Prayer House in the distance, the archbishop of the Justice Church, who was wearing a robe but also wearing armor inside the robe, jumped out of his chair. Stand up, and then looked in the direction of the prayer hall.

Others in the reception room looked at the archbishop known for his bravery in puzzlement, and found that the archbishop had a rare look of surprise and panic on his face.

Seeing this abnormal situation, Satos, the head of the Holy Prayer House as the convener, couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "What happened? Archbishop Wallace."

"No, it's nothing. It just suddenly occurred to me that I haven't done a very important thing. I need to leave for a while. If you come to a conclusion after your discussion, just tell me. Our Justice Church will fully cooperate." Archbishop Hua Laishi responded vaguely, then expressed his attitude, and then stopped talking to other people, stood up and hurried out of the reception room, leaving everyone around in a daze.

"He definitely didn't think of something important, he must have discovered something that we haven't discovered," the High Priest of the Harvest Goddess Church said suspiciously, "What did we just say?"

Someone reminded: "I seem to be saying that there is no filthy heresy now, and we are discussing whether to use the power of the temples to search the entire city."

After hearing the words, everyone still didn't understand why the Archbishop of the Justice Church had such an abnormal reaction when he heard that the power of the temples was used to search the entire city.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Wallace, the archbishop of the Justice Church, had already left the main building of the Holy Prayer House, then trotted regardless of the image, and rushed directly towards the prayer hall from a park path, and soon came to the prayer hall. outside the hall.

He stopped, calmed down for a while, and after recovering the prestige of the archbishop, he walked into the prayer hall seemingly casually.

The metal sound produced by the friction of the armor in the robe of justice reverberated continuously in the prayer hall, which was extremely ear-piercing. It disturbed some clergy apprentices who were entering the state of prayer. They all looked towards the door angrily and were responsible for guarding the prayer hall. The knights of the church also looked towards this side, trying to throw out the guy who disturbed the peaceful atmosphere of the prayer hall, but when they saw that the person who walked in turned out to be the archbishop of the Justice Church, those thoughts in their minds disappeared instantly. All of them are doing their jobs honestly.

After entering the prayer hall, the Archbishop of Justice stopped in his tracks, and then looked around. Although he looked casual, his eyes stopped on almost every priest apprentice who was praying in the hall. For a moment, as if confirming something.

Just after his eyes swept over the last clergy apprentice, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he turned and walked to a church knight who was in charge of order in the inner hall of the prayer hall, and asked very seriously: "Let me ask you, did any strange things happen to any of the apprentices in the prayer hall just now? This is very important, and you must answer honestly."

Being questioned so seriously by the archbishop of the Justice Church, the church knight also felt very nervous. Although he is not a church knight of the Justice Church, the sense of oppression caused by the level of the priesthood is no more than when he saw the archbishop of his own church. how much difference.

He recalled the previous situation in the prayer hall very seriously, then shook his head and said, "No, nothing unusual happened, my lord bishop."

"No?" The archbishop of the Justice Church was a little puzzled, but he didn't fully believe what the church knight said. Then he asked the same question to several other church knights guarding the prayer hall, and they all got the same answer.

But even so, it still did not dispel the doubts in his heart, but he also knew that if he continued to stay here, he would not be able to ask anything useful, so he hurriedly left the prayer hall, walked out of the Holy Prayer House, and went to the waiting room at the door. The church carriage, told the driver to return to the Church of Justice immediately.

The sanctuary of the Justice Church is next to the Holy Prayer House, and it only takes two blocks to get there. When the carriage stopped on the square outside the sanctuary, the Archbishop of Justice couldn't wait to get down.

At this time, a group of senior priests of the church gathered at the door very abnormally. When they saw the archbishop, they immediately walked towards the archbishop. The leader was about to say something, but he immediately noticed this. It was not a place to speak, and he swallowed what he was going to say, and then signaled the others to disperse, leaving a little space for the two of them.

"Wallace, something happened in the Hall of Gifts." As a friend of the archbishop, he may be too anxious, so he didn't call the archbishop by his title in accordance with normal interests, but called him by his name like a normal conversation.

"Is the god-given stone broken?" Archbishop Wallace's face changed suddenly, and he asked immediately.

"How do you know?" The senior clergyman was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "At that time, no one entered the gift hall to pray, and the god-blessing stone was broken like this. This kind of thing has never happened before..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Archbishop Wallace interrupted him impatiently, and then asked more seriously: "Which god-given stone is it?"

"The topmost punishment god-given stone." The priest replied.

Archbishop Wallace's face immediately became gloomy, and he repeatedly muttered "It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion." Afterwards, he walked towards the church and ordered to the clergy who followed him: " Immediately contact other church cathedrals and ask if there is any abnormality in their God-given stones in the Hall of Gifts?"

Seeing Wallace's expression, the clergyman also realized that something important might have happened, so he immediately took people to contact other Great Churches of the Justice Church to inquire about the God-given Stone in the Hall of Gifts.

There is a very special method of contact between the great churches of the Justice Church, which can exchange some brief information or issue some brief instructions with all the great churches on the mainland in a short period of time, so when Wallace just returned to his office, in After removing the heavy armor from his body with the help of the church knights, the priest came to his office with the response after the inquiry.

After hearing the content of the response, Wallace couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Sure enough, all the god-given stones on the top level have been broken, and it seems to be true."

The clergyman asked suspiciously: "What happened? Wallace."

"It's nothing, don't ask too much, remember our precepts: don't speak, don't speak, don't know." Wallace didn't give any answer, but waved his hand, indicating that his right-hand assistant and friend can leave, and then he said Sitting in his chair, he fell into deep thought.

The reason why he, as the archbishop of the Justice Church, suddenly turned pale with fright was that when he was in the reception room of the main building of the Holy Prayer House, he suddenly felt a divine power of justice coming from the prayer hall. The divine power of justice is very pure, so pure that he only felt it from the main god he believed in when he prayed and received the blessing of justice.

This immediately reminded him of a very important prophecy recorded in the Revelation of Punishment, an internal book of the Justice Church. When heresy walks on the earth and infiltrates the church, justice will send its incarnation, in charge of the punishment of justice, to come In the world, eliminate heresy and rebuild the righteous church.

This reminded him of the current internal situation of the Justice Church, because to some extent, the current internal situation of the Justice Church coincides with the situation where heresy in the language penetrates into the church.

Although he never considered himself a heretic, he knew very well that his behavior was no different from a heretic, and this behavior made his problems more and more obvious.

I don't know since when, as the archbishop, he could no longer get a righteous response in his prayers, which also caused the divine power of the gift of justice in his body to begin to decline, and the divine spells he mastered also disappeared with the weakening of the divine power. There is no doubt that my current divine power and magic skills are not even comparable to those senior priests who have just been promoted from the bottom.

And within the Justice Church, there are not a few senior clergymen in his situation, and even he has some doubts that even the Pope has the same problem, because in the past few years on the Day of Gift, the Pope used On the grounds of physical discomfort, he handed over the authority to preside over the gift day ceremony to his deputy, which was obviously to cover up the fact that he could no longer obtain the gift of justice.

Furthermore, without the Pope's secret help, I am afraid that the second hall would not be able to successfully become the shadow church of the Church of Justice, and the members of the second hall are all trapped like him in being unable to obtain a righteous response and unwilling to give up A senior clergyman with full strength in his hands.

Right now, the power of the Church of Justice is in the hands of a group of people who cannot obtain a just response and whose magical powers of justice are disappearing. This is exactly in line with the prophesied heresy infiltrating the church. After sensing the purest divine power of justice, he will , the association of justice sending its own avatar to clean up the church is also a matter of course.

If the associations he had in the Holy Prayer House were just personal guesses and delusions, then when he returned to the Holy Church of Justice, he heard his assistant tell him that the god-given stone at the top of the Hall of Gifts was broken, and the stones of other great churches were broken. The same kind of disciplinary god-given stones were also shattered, so now he can almost be sure that the divine power of justice he felt before came from the incarnation of justice. The place of the Holy Land, we are going to use him as a starting point to clean up the heresy within the entire Justice Church.

The reason why the Church of Justice is one of the most powerful churches in the world is not only because the clergy in the church are all composed of armed priests and church knights with amazing combat power, but more importantly, the god of justice is all One of the gods who manifested the most miracles.

Justice not only often performed miracles and blessed divine powers in some important religious ceremonies held by the church, but also gave the church some god-given stones from time to time. Special conditions are required, as long as they can resonate with the god-bestowed stone, even ordinary believers can obtain the divine magic of justice contained in the god-bestowed stone.

There are a lot of god-given stones given each time, but not every god-given stone can resonate with people. Those god-given stones that don't resonate will be taught according to the power level and type of god-given stones. Different, it is placed in the Gift Hall. After every major church ceremony, clergy and devout congregants will be organized to pray in the Gift Hall, trying to resonate with the God-given Stone.

Among the god-given stones stored in the Great Church’s Gift Hall, there are always a few god-given stones that do not resonate at all. These god-given stones are placed at the top, and there has been no one for more than a thousand years. If it wasn't for the fact that the divine power contained in it was still extremely pure and strong, some people might have suspected that the god-given stone had become an ordinary stone.

Now, among the god-given stones that have not been moved for more than a thousand years, one of the god-given stones that represents justice and punishment has resonated and shattered, and not only the punishment god-given stone in a large church is shattered Instead, the same god-given stone in all the great halls was shattered. This is obviously a sign that a certain existence representing justice and punishment has come to the world.

At this moment, Wallace, the archbishop of the Justice Church, felt that a major event was about to happen in the Justice Church, and this event was related to his reputation, his rights, and his life and death. He had to do something.

At this moment, the person who caused the misunderstanding of Archbishop Wallace of the Justice Church is in a small parlor of the Holy Prayer House, drinking a cold drink unique to Cape West Harbor and eating snacks with local characteristics, waiting for Si Wangsi who is sitting opposite him. Taaffe read his manuscript.

This is the third time Stave has re-read this manuscript, because he is not a scholar who specializes in the study of human body modification, so there are many professional terms and technical methods in the manuscript that make him difficult to read, but he He couldn't stop himself from reading this manuscript repeatedly, because the contents of this manuscript were too shocking to him. He even wondered whether Leo had submitted a research report from the organization's secret library, and then based on this This manuscript was written for a research report.

It is no wonder that Stave has such an idea. It is entirely because the manuscript written by Leo contains a lot of content that has already involved the organization's top secrets. In the past, he could only have access to some fringe information. Even in his capacity, the contents of Leo's manuscript are not only covered by what he has come into contact with, but there are even a lot of secrets that he has only heard about but never seen with his own eyes.

And what surprised him the most was that all the content in the manuscript was derived from the follow-up transformation plan that Leo deduced based on some experimental data he had done before. That is to say, this manuscript is just a fantasy hypothesis, but the problem However, a large amount of content in this hypothesis is already fact.
