The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Don't you need to stay in those underground intelligence organizations? When people are panicking, if there is no backbone, troubles will easily occur." Leo was standing in front of the window, watching church knights and heretic hunters coming and going on the street , when he heard the door open behind him, he looked back and asked casually.

"No, I won't need it again." Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile, "I didn't expect those guys from the church to be so vengeful. They only humiliated them two days ago. Today, revenge came to the door. Those under my hands The mouse was caught as a suspicious person, and the organization's resident was also destroyed by the church knights," she said, and she couldn't help laughing at herself: "Now I, the queen of underground intelligence, is not worthy of my name."

"So serious?" Leo couldn't help being stunned, then looked at Sylvia, who was neatly dressed, and asked, "Didn't you do something? Just watch the people in the church take your..."

Sylvia didn't wait for Leo to finish, and asked back: "Why do you want to do it? Didn't we control the underground intelligence organization to understand the situation in the old continent? Now that we have almost mastered it, the underground intelligence organization There is no need for nature to exist anymore.”

Leo hesitated for a moment, and said, "So you deliberately provoke the people of the church, so that they can help you get rid of those people from the underground intelligence organization."

Sylvia walked to Leo's side, looked towards the street outside, and admitted: "I have this idea, but I didn't expect the people in the church to move much faster than I expected, and I almost fell into it myself. "

Leo smiled and joked, "Your men are really pitiful."

Sylvia said disdainfully: "They are not pitiful. If all the bad things they did were written into books, they could fill the bookcases. Unfortunately, no matter how many bad things there are, as long as they don't touch the taboos of the church, they can still follow the church. The possibility of coming out of the dungeon."

Leo asked: "Haven't you tried to put some evidence of heresy on them?"

Facing this question, Sylvia didn't answer, just smiled, but this was considered an answer to Leo, and those who were arrested by the church should never be able to come out.

Leo saw through Sylvia's mind and said, "It seems that you have already started to prepare for leaving here. The news about the Belmont family that Senior revealed has a great impact on you!"

"I just don't think it's necessary to stay here any longer," Sylvia didn't deny it, and said frankly: "The church closure at Cape Xiwangyang Harbor cannot be ended in a short time. As long as the filthy believers are not caught, the church The control here will only become stricter and stricter, and it might affect the academy at some point. After all, there are many taboo things in the academy, but it was supported by the Holy Teacher Satos before, and now he may still be able to Provide some protection for the college, but it may not be necessary in the future. You must know that the incident we provoked to test the church is not a trivial matter. Rather than being kicked out of Cape West Port in the future, it is better to leave now, at least not Have a direct conflict with these churches and be listed on the list of heretics of the church. Isn’t this what we have considered from the beginning? It’s just that the time and intensity of the church’s actions are somewhat different from our expectations, so we have to make some arrangements in advance.”

Leo shook his head slightly, and said: "But the problem is that the matter on my side is not over yet, and Satos has not yet joined the inner circle..."

As he spoke, he stopped suddenly, then opened the window and looked towards the noisy noise at the end of the street. Sylvia also stood in front of the window, following Leo's line of sight to the end of the street.

I saw that a group of church knights was escorting some heretics in the police prison van confiscated from the city hall, and drove over quickly from one end of the street. Because this prison van was simply assembled with wooden boards, it could barely pass The escorts in the prison car can be seen through the gaps in the boards, and the people in the prison car can be easily recognized by their eye-catching scholarly attire.

"The scholars of the academy were attacked so quickly." Sylvia was also puzzled by the situation in front of her, even though she and Leo did think that when she and Leo were deducing the church's response, the church would not find any filthy believers , attack the scholars of the academy, but this will definitely be a relatively long process. As a part-time academy dean, Satos should also try to create a buffer to let some important scholars of the academy leave temporarily. Logically speaking, it should never be In the current situation where the mayor's mansion incident has just passed and less than two days have passed, the college has been attacked.

"It's a member of the Justice Church." Leo looked at the church knights passing by on the street, and said in a deep voice.

Sylvia thought for a while, and said: "I remember that the archbishop of the Justice Church is called Wallace, and he is a very utilitarian guy. Could it be that he wants to use this opportunity to reap a lot of achievements in hunting heresies, and borrow This is a further step in the rank of priesthood?"

"No matter what the reason is, unexpected factors have already appeared. Our arrangements should be advanced. Let Penny and Joan know! We will leave Cape West Port in a few days." Found that the Justice Church has become Uneasy, Leo resolutely gave up all the plans that had been arranged, and decided to follow Sylvia's wishes and leave the Cape West Port ahead of schedule.

As for joining a secret organization, although it would cause some minor troubles, he believed that even if he went to another city, that organization would take the initiative to contact him.

However, before that, he still needs to inform Satos and Stav. After all, he is now a member of the outer circle of the organization. It's also a little too rude, and there is no need to find a reason to leave. The Justice Church is the best reason.

Just when Leo was about to leave for the magazine office to meet Stave, and then to meet Satos, one of the people he was going to meet, Satos, did not stay in the Holy House, but was in the In the sacristy of the Justice Church, he sat expressionlessly on a cold slate chair, waiting for Archbishop Wallace to complete his daily prayers from the sacrament.

In fact, before the church knights of the Justice Church went to the college dormitory area to arrest people, Satos had already received the news, and he immediately sent people to the college to stop him, and he himself came to the Justice Church in Cape West The church is going to ask Archbishop Wallace what he wants to do.

As the mayor's mansion incident gradually fermented, Satos felt that the matter of defiled believers was becoming more and more wrong. This was not only because they did not find any traces of the defiled believers even though they closed the city to search, but more The most important thing is that some actions of the Justice Church and the Holy Heart Church made him feel that these two churches seemed to want to do something out of the ordinary in this incident.

However, what he never expected was that when he was still considering asking members of the Justice Church to inquire about the news, Archbishop Wallace of Justice had already started to act, and his target was the Cape West Port Scholars in the academy.

The moment he heard the news, Sartos couldn't help wondering whether Wallace's actions were aimed at him. Obviously, if some of the scholars in the college were really accused of heresy by the Church of Justice, then even if they weren't members of the Unholy Church , he, the dean of the academy, cannot escape responsibility.

As for whether the Justice Church can produce evidence that the scholars are heretics, there is no doubt about this, because a large number of experiments conducted in the academy can be classified as heresy behaviors in general. Basically, famous scholars and even assistant students in the college can be regarded as heretics.

Naturally, Sartos would not allow such a thing to happen, so he came to the Holy Church of the Justice Church immediately, and on the way there, he had already come up with more than a dozen countermeasures in his mind, no matter the best situation, In the fastest situation, he can respond immediately.

Sartos waited for about half an hour, the door of the sacristy opened slowly from the inside, and Archbishop Wallace, who had completed the daily prayer ceremony, led the other bishops out of the chapel.

Wallace, who had just walked out, saw Sartos standing at the door with a gloomy face at first glance. He was not surprised. He had already expected Sartos' reaction when he ordered to go to the academy to arrest people. So he calmly nodded to Sartos, and then told the bishops beside him to leave by themselves, and kept the church knights guarding the door away from the holy chapel, and then motioned for Sartos to enter the holy chapel with him chat.

After the two entered the sacristy, Wallace controlled the door to close, and activated the ban on the sacristy, isolating all possible probing forces from the outside.

After the banning power was activated, Satos directly asked without hesitation: "Why did you send people to the academy to arrest people? Do you know what consequences your actions will cause? Are you planning to let the entire Yuan Continent Go back to the era of judgment?"

The Age of Judgment is a name given by the church to the period between two and three hundred years before the Great Migration, but this name is only circulated within the church, while the Age of Chaos is the folklore.

The reason why it is called the era of chaos is because for two or three hundred years, the entire source continent was indeed in chaos, wars, famines, and disasters emerged one after another, and everyone lived in despair, thinking that the end of the world was coming .

It is precisely because so much suffering fell on people that various cults and heresies emerged endlessly throughout the old continent, and even for a period of time, the power of cults and heresies swelled enough to compete with the Church of True God. The Church of Time is also merciless in cracking down on heresy. As long as there is even a slight sign of heresy, it will be the death penalty, and even family members will be implicated.

And during that time, scholars who studied all kinds of knowledge were naturally easily attacked as heretics. Nearly half of the statues of sages erected in various city colleges in the Old Continent were judged as heretics during the trial era. Then burn the martyrs.

Back then, the Church of Justice was definitely the core force of the Church of True God in combating heresy, and countless scholars died at the hands of the Church of Justice. Until now, the Church of Justice is still a terrible, horrible, and even abominable object in the eyes of scholars in various colleges.

Now the Justice Church is suddenly attacking the scholars of Cape West Port College. Once the news spreads, it will undoubtedly remind scholars in other city colleges of what happened back then, and it will not only be the Port of West Point Port that will be messed up. The college, perhaps the college structure that was built with great difficulty on the entire continent will also collapse because of this, and the balance created by the various churches will also be broken due to the subsequent chain reaction.

So it is not an exaggeration for Sartos to say that Wallace's appointment of church knights into the academy to arrest scholars will drag the old continent back to the era of judgment.

However, regarding Sartos's accusation, Justice Archbishop Wallace seemed very calm. He did not immediately respond to Sartos's accusation, but waited for a while, and then slowly said after Satos calmed down. : "Two days ago, when I was invited by you to go to the Holy Prayer House to discuss how to search for filthy heresies, I suddenly sensed a divine power of justice appearing in the prayer hall of the Holy Prayer House."

Sartos was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Wallace said such a thing without thinking, and he quickly remembered the abnormal behavior of Wallace's sudden departure that day, so he asked back: "Is this the same as that?" Does it have anything to do with you sending people to the academy to arrest the scholars?"

Wallace did not answer, but continued to say to himself: "After that, I returned to the church and found that the punishment god bestowed stone placed on the top was broken, and not only the punishment god of the church I was in The bestowed stone is shattered, even the punishment god bestowed stones of all other churches are shattered, Your Excellency the Holy Teacher, do you know what this means?"

Hearing Wallace's words, Satos couldn't help being stunned. He still didn't understand what this had to do with the capture of the academy scholars, but he still judged based on what he had learned: "According to the records of your Justice Church scripture, Only when the punishment envoy of justice appears, the God-bestowed Stone of Punishment will be shattered, and the punishment divine spell contained in it will be given to the punishment envoy, representing justice to punish heretics, and now all the God-bestowed stones of Punishment are shattered..." Speaking of which , he suddenly revealed a horrified look, and said, "Could it be that the incarnation of justice has descended?"

Wallace nodded and said, "You and I think the same thing. The incarnation of justice has come, and it is likely to come at the port of Cape West."

"Impossible, impossible!" Satos shook his head again and again, and then asked anxiously: "Since you discovered this, have you found the embodiment of justice?"

"If I find the Avatar of Justice, I won't send people to the academy to arrest people." Wallace said with a serious expression: "You are proficient in the history of religion, and you should be very clear about the history I teach. In the past, the Avatar of Justice only appeared Three times, and all three times appeared in the filthy land where heresy was rampant, and then the filthy land was cleaned up, and now the incarnation of justice appeared here, so it represents this place..."

"I understand what you mean, you don't need to say it!" Satos interrupted the other party's narration, then stared at the other party, and said: "You want to clean up the entire Cape West Port before the incarnation of justice can take action. Any heresy in the city, so that the whole city will no longer be regarded as a filthy place by justice, and the whole city will no longer be cleaned up, right?"

"Yes." Wallace admitted with a nod, and when he saw what Sartos wanted to say, he interrupted: "Do you think there is a better way to save this person from the incarnation of justice besides this method?" City?"
