The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo looked at the ashes of a complete human being on the foundation stone, and was surprised that the divine power contained in the foundation stone was so powerful, and at the same time felt even more puzzled.

In his perception, although the power generated by the mysterious runes contained in the foundation stone is powerful, it is not enough to instantly burn a bishop-level clergyman whose divine power is close to that of a fifth-level psyker. Ashes obviously hid a secret he hadn't discovered in the backlash caused by the clergy just now.

After nightfall, Leo came to the ruins of the Sanctuary of the Primordial God, and immediately discovered the senior priests from different churches gathered here.

One or two priests came here to learn about the situation due to some unknown reasons. After all, Barbarisa’s efforts to restore this original sanctuary are enough to attract the curiosity of many interested people. .

But the problem is that there are too many senior clergymen gathered here, a rough count of more than twenty, and judging from their divine power fluctuations, each senior clergyman belongs to a different church, and among them the most The weak clerics all possess the divine power equivalent to that of a fourth-level psyker, and any church with such divine power can definitely be regarded as a bishop.

So many bishop-level church powerhouses gathered in one ruin, and each of them was disguised as an ordinary worker, no matter how you look at it, people will feel weird, so Leo didn't approach rashly, but passed the supernatural power from a distance. Listening, listening to their conversations, and through the content of the conversations, I quickly learned what these senior priests from different churches were for.

In fact, these people had secretly come to this sanctuary ruins a few months ago when Barbarisa left his territory and traveled to the New World with his wife and children. In the absence of the opportunity, take away the relics of the original God buried in the ground by the Church of True God.

However, they obviously underestimated the difficulty of this matter, which led to their progress in the past few months to be close to nothing, because they found that those relics were all under the foundation stones of the main halls of the Sanctuary, and the foundation stones contained The forbidden divine arts arranged by the Churches of True God back then, and more importantly, I don’t know why these forbidden divine arts have merged after so many years of evolution, and it has become a church that can’t even arrange forbidden divine arts. Clearly weird stuff.

From the conversations of these people, it is not difficult to hear that they have made more than a dozen attempts in the past few months, but each time ended in failure. Began to pay attention to the restoration project of the sanctuary ruins, and their attempts had to be more secretive and careful to avoid being discovered by Barbarisa.

It has to be said that Leo knew before that Barbarisa, the living and canonized protector of the country, had an extraordinary status and influence in the Church of True God, but he did not have a clear understanding of this status and influence. Weighing the concepts, until now after discovering the performance of these senior clergymen from different Churches of True God in the face of Barbarisa, it is clear how much deterrent Barbarisa has on these clergymen.

However, this also made Leo feel puzzled, because in his opinion, not to mention whether these achievements of Barbarisa in the Middle Kingdom are qualified for the Church of True God to canonize its living beings, only Barbarisa himself No matter how you look at it, the power you have is not the kind of absolute power that can suppress everything. It can even be said that the power of every senior priest in the ruins of the sanctuary far exceeds the power of Barbarisa, so according to common sense, Judging, these senior clergymen of the Church of True God should not be so scruples about Barbarisa, even to the point of awe.

"Does Barbarisa's blood really have any miraculous effects?" Leo also had an idea at the moment of doubt, and also became more interested in Barbarisa's commission.

In addition, Leo soon discovered that the churches of these senior priests gathered here were all inferior churches.

The Secondary Church is not a title within the Church of True God. In fact, even though the various churches within the Church of True God are strong or weak, there is no difference in status and they are at the same level. Scholars who study religion or some forces that are hostile to the Church of True God, as well as underground churches have scorned certain churches within the Church of True God. These churches all have a common feature, that is, the gods that these churches believe in are only in name Gods are not real gods.

And the reason why Leo discovered that these senior clergymen were from the second-class church was not that he knew the gods of these churches very well, but that when the senior clergymen were discussing the excavation plan, they said that they had missed it. Mouth, at the same time, the leaked content also included the purpose of their coming here to try to dig out the relics of the original god.

Let the demigods or false gods become real gods. This is the role of the relics of the original gods, and it is also the purpose of these true god churches.

When he heard this astonishing news, Leo didn't feel that he had gained any big gains at the first time, but wondered whether he was discovered by the senior clergy of these churches, and that's why the other party intentionally To mislead him by telling such a lie that does not stand up to scrutiny.

But soon he discovered that the priests of these churches were not misleading him, but really believed that the relics of the original gods that were sealed in the ruins had the magic that could make demigods or false gods further become real gods This also made Leo's heart full of doubts, feeling as if he had fallen into a maelstrom.

First of all, Leo does not believe that the relics of the original god have the effect of making demigods or false gods become true gods, because if these relics really have such magical effects, those gods who besieged and killed the original god back then These things will not be banned here at all, and those things can be placed in their respective temples and temples, and used when needed.

And what is even more paradoxical is that the churches of the true gods who are trying to dig out the relics are now involved in the banning of these relics, and the fluctuations of the divine power and magic of those churches can be clearly felt in those foundation stones. If these relics If there is such a magical effect, how could the gods behind those churches give up their chance to become real gods and put these relics in other places and seal them up.

In addition, it is extremely suspicious that if these relics of the primordial god really have such a magical effect, then the whereabouts and uses of these relics can be regarded as top secrets in any force, and it is difficult to leak them out. Now there are more than 20 high-level church leaders who already know this secret, and this well-known secret is simply absurd and ridiculous.

Taking a step back, it has been a long time since these relics were banned here, but in the past, no one has ever come here to excavate and take out the relics of the Primordial God, but now there are more than 20 churches at once. The clergy of many people appeared at the same time in this place where the relics have been banned for countless years. This gave Leo the feeling that someone deliberately passed the news to more than 20 churches at the same time, in order to let these churches send People come here to dig the relics, which is the main reason why he feels that he has fallen into a big vortex, and being able to calculate more than 20 Churches of True God at the same time, it is obvious that the size of this vortex is somewhat extraordinary.

What made Leo even more incredible was that none of these senior priests could find these extremely obvious loopholes. They seemed to really believe that the relics of the primordial god could help the gods they believed in go further, and they all devoted themselves to it. devoted themselves to the discussion on how to safely excavate those forbidden relics.

It is also for this reason that Leo is more vigilant about this initial sanctuary relic, and decides to find a pawn to explore the true situation of this sanctuary relic.

Almost at the same time as the decision was made, Leo also selected the chess piece he used to explore the way, because this chess piece was so easy to find, and the clergy of the Church of War, who were excluded from other churches, stood on the top of the collapsed stone pillar, so The location is much higher than the others, and it is so eye-catching that it is difficult not to notice it.

As for the design of the Pathfinder Stone, the method is also very simple. It is to create a pseudo-divine resonance for the clergyman of the God of War Church, making him misunderstand that a relic under a certain foundation stone is calling him.

Originally, Leo planned to record the process of the power in the foundation stone from generation to effect when the clergyman triggered the forbidden magic power in the foundation stone, so as to find the loopholes in it.

But what he never expected was that the power of forbidden magic in the foundation stone would be so overbearing, directly burning the senior priests of the Church of God of War to ashes in an instant. Such a strong effect really exceeded his expectations .

However, after he quickly checked the situation of the pile of ashes that the priests of the Church of God of War had turned into, and compared the energy fluctuation data recorded at the moment of the power explosion in the foundation stone, he quickly discovered something strange, and in the In my mind, I gradually restored the complete process of the priests being burned to ashes just now.

It has to be said that the senior clergyman of the God of War Church really died unjustly. He was not so much burned to ashes by the flames transformed by the power of the forbidden magic in the foundation stone, but rather that he was banned in the foundation stone. The power of the divine art aroused the divine power in his body, causing his divine power to backlash, and was directly burned to ashes by the flame transformed by his own divine power.

However, Leo also confirmed one thing, that is, the secret runes from different churches in the foundation stone not only played the role of sealing the relics of the original god in the ruins below, but also had a strong impact on the divine power of the gods. Under the attack of the gods and gods, it seems that there are many kinds of gods and gods.

This also made Leo feel even more puzzled. There are so many banned magic spells in the foundation stone, which is easy to understand, but for the Church of True God, it is a bit confusing. The senior clergy of the church are letting people from the church come here to dig up these banned relics in the future.

"Someone is coming!" Just when Leo was puzzled by his discovery, a sound of footsteps from a distance woke him up from his contemplation. Shape into the surrounding darkness, hiding in the dark to spy on the reaction of people.

Soon, the senior clerics from other churches who were discussing how to excavate the relics appeared one after another next to the pile of ashes on the foundation stone. Obviously, they should have been erupted by the death of the senior clergyman of the Church of God of War. It was alarmed by the fluctuation of divine power, and then found here.

However, what puzzled Leo, who was spying in the dark, was that they didn't seem to be curious or confused about Ashes in front of them, and they looked at Ashes with mockery and disdain in their eyes.

I saw one of the priests stretch out his foot and kick the ashes under his feet casually, kick them away, and then said with disdain: "Another idiot, I really think that we haven't made any progress for so long because we Incompetent?"

"I knew there would be such a result from the first day he came, but at least he contributed some useful value." Another clergyman also looked at the ashes scattered around indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "I was still wondering when he would make a move. I didn't expect him to be so tolerant. We have guided so many times and we haven't been fooled."

"I remember that he seems to be one of the twelve priests of the Church of God of War?" Someone said with a little worry: "He died here suddenly now, the Church of War must..."

"What are you worried about?" Some people said indifferently: "It's not us who did it, it's because of his own bad luck that he touched the forbidden magic."

"Okay! There's no need to worry about these anymore. Even if the War Church has any dissatisfaction, they can't do anything to so many churches. They will just send people over and continue to dig. After all, their current purpose is the same as ours. It also needs to borrow our strength." Another old clergyman who seemed to be somewhat prestigious interrupted the cynicism of the crowd, then squatted down, stretched out his hand, picked up a little ashes, and put them in front of his eyes for a careful inspection. At the same time, he said earnestly : "It seems that our conjecture is correct. The banning magic here is aimed at any church, and the method we imagined before may not be used anymore."

"No, there is still a method that has not been tried." Someone put forward a different opinion: "Heretic, heresy has not been tried."

"You're crazy!" Many people yelled at the man, "Do you know the consequences of letting heretics interfere?"

"Of course I know, but the problem is that the banning magic arranged by our sages is now aimed at ourselves, so why not use the power of heresy to use the blasphemy to offset it?" The man said disapprovingly: "Anyway, what we want now is the result. As for the process, is it that important?"
