The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Are you crazy? Savior?" The Priest of the Goddess of Victory pushed open the door of the Office of the Priest of the Goddess of the Lamp, his face was full of anger, and he rushed to the desk in a few steps, leaned down under great pressure, and stared. Looking at the goddess of the lamp to officiate, and unceremoniously reprimanded: "Who gave you the power to announce the existence of the savior? Do you know what the consequences of your doing are? What kind of reaction will the Holy City know?" ?I tell you, they will denounce you as a blasphemer, reform you out of the congregation, and we will also be implicated by you, you must know that we are a trinity, once we are punished, we will be punished together!"

The goddess of civilization also followed into the office, but she stopped after entering the door, then turned around, ordered the other clergy who were attracted by the shouting to retreat immediately, and then let the lantern kept at the door Stay away, monk.

Originally, it was impossible for the officiant of the Goddess of Civilization to only be a cultivator of the Goddess of Carrying Lamps, but the solemn expression of this goddess of civilization, who is known for her kindness, was so powerful at the moment. Everyone silently obeyed the order.

After giving orders to the monks, the goddess of civilization returned to the office, closed the door, and said to the goddess of victory in a deep voice: "Your voice should be quieter, you don't want everyone in the temple to hear it, and then the whole city Do you know that the three goddesses are at odds with each other, right?"

After hearing the words, the Priestess of the Goddess of Victory stood up straight, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart, but the anger and dissatisfaction on his face did not decrease at all.

"You have to give us an explanation." The priest of the goddess of civilization walked up to the priest of the goddess of victory, expressing his attitude. Although this sentence was much simpler than what the priest of the goddess of victory said just now, and the tone was much calmer, but the other On the contrary, the deterrence was stronger, and the atmosphere in the whole room froze as the voice fell.

After the disaster, the Order of Redemption established a shelter, gathered survivors, and rebuilt the city. It has become the only order in the world, a perfect fusion of political power and theocracy.

Each sanctuary city will have three goddess priests sitting in town. They represent the three goddesses of redemption. The three priests also divide up the religious power, political power and military power of a sanctuary city. The power they hold far exceeds that of any politician or soldier in the old era. and clergy, so in order to prevent the priest from being corrupted by power, the Redemption Church has a complete set of supervision mechanism for the three goddess priests in each city, and in this supervision mechanism, the self-examination and self-examination of the three goddess priests It is also an important part.

According to the law of supervision, as long as two priests of the goddess believe that there is a problem with the mind of the priest of the goddess, they can propose the law of supervision, temporarily put him under house arrest, report it to the Holy City, and the Holy City Tribunal will send people to investigate.

Obviously, the practice of the goddess of the lantern made the other two priests feel extremely dissatisfied and at the same time doubted its force field, because the savior has an extraordinary meaning in the order of redemption, and in general it can only be The incarnation of the Lord of Redemption, that is, the Pope of the Order of Redemption, no matter how great the achievements of other people, they can only be awarded the title of saint, and they can only be awarded after death. It is undoubtedly an unforgivable blasphemy to unilaterally publicize someone as the Savior without going through any proper rules of identification.

Now, for the other two priestesses, all they have to do is to go through the process and ask the priestess of the lamp goddess to explain. City Tribunal.

Facing the two aggressive goddess priests, the goddess of the lantern appeared very calm, and motioned for the two to sit down. Seeing that the two had no intention of sitting down, she did not force her, but said seriously: "The candidate for the savior is not I appointed it, but it came from the oracle of the goddess."

"Oracle?" The priestess of the Goddess of Civilization's face became more and more ugly, and said: "You are really crazy, you dare to use the oracle to justify your blasphemy, how dare you..."

The voice of the Goddess of Civilization, the priest, stood up, opened her arms, and recited the praises of the Goddess of the Lamp, and at the moment when the prayers came out of her mouth, the surroundings dimmed instantly. Soon the darkness completely occupied the room, and then I saw a lantern appearing behind the priestess of the lantern goddess, dispelling part of the surrounding darkness. All kinds of negative emotions dissipated instantly, and those positive emotions burned like a lit bonfire.

"Light of hope!" The two priestesses saw everything in front of them, felt the changes in their bodies, and immediately realized what happened, their faces were instantly filled with envy and excitement.

The light of hope is the light of divine power exclusive to the goddess of the lamp. According to legend, in a disaster, the light of hope once appeared in front of the survivors who were in extreme danger, helping the survivors out of danger, and even endowing the survivors with great strength and strength. Wisdom, from a certain point of view, the blessings of the goddess of civilization and the goddess of victory need to be implemented through the light of hope, which is why the goddess of the lantern is slightly higher than the other two goddesses.

However, in the current Redemption Order, the light of hope is only given to the monks of the Goddess of the Lamp, and any monk of the Goddess of the Lamp who receives the light of hope is the undisputed oracle of the Goddess of the Lantern, so when the Goddess of the Lantern is the officiant The moment the light of hope was shown, all the doubts in the hearts of the other two goddess priests disappeared.

"Why are you the only one who got the oracle from the Lantern Throne, but we..." The Priestess of the Goddess of Victory looked at her colleagues full of envy and jealousy at this moment, and couldn't help complaining, but soon realized that there was something wrong with her complaint. Then he swallowed the following words back into his stomach, and then quickly recited the salvation prayer, repenting for his behavior of complaining to the gods.

The priest of the goddess of civilization didn't pay attention to the small mistake made by his colleagues, but focused on another matter, so he asked: "We came in a hurry just now, and we haven't seen the photos you asked to print. What does the savior look like? How do we find him? And what will we do after we find him?"

Faced with a series of practical problems, the priest of the goddess of the lantern seemed to have a plan in mind. I saw that she took out the portrait she had drawn and obtained from the oracle and handed it to the priest of the goddess of civilization. At the same time, she explained her arrangement, saying: "According to the oracle , the savior is now in the city. As for where in the city, I don’t know, but as long as he is in the city, it should be easy to find him. After we find him, we will pass this oracle to the holy city I believe that the Chief Priest of the Lantern at the Holy City should have received the relevant oracle, and at that time the Holy City should send someone to confirm the identity of the Savior. During this time, I will ask the savior for the troubles I am currently encountering in the city. Lord, since the God of the Lantern gave me this oracle at this time, it means that this savior may have appeared to solve the current crisis in the city." Then, she looked at the other two and said, "This is What do you think of my current arrangement?"

Although the Priestess of the Goddess of Victory had some ideas, she couldn't do anything. After all, she wasn't the one who got the oracle.

After finishing the portrait, the goddess of civilization, the officiant, kept looking at the portrait, with a look of doubt on his face.

The content of the portrait is very simple. It is a man wearing exotic clothes. This man looks very ordinary. He is not the kind of person who can leave a deep impression at a glance. A sense of maturity.

The officiant of the goddess of civilization also noticed the strange expression of the goddess of the lantern, and she asked with a little expectation: "Have you seen this person?"

"No, I haven't seen it before." The priest of the goddess of civilization replied affirmatively, but then doubted herself: "But I feel that this person's temperament is somewhat familiar, it seems..."

The priestess of the goddess of civilization didn't know how to answer for a while, but she closed her eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought again, as if recalling the special preparation that made her feel familiar.

The other two priestesses in the room did not speak either, but stood quietly aside and waited for her to recover.

After a while, the priest of the Goddess of Civilization suddenly opened his eyes, and said excitedly: "I have seen him before, this person appeared in the big library before, but what I saw was only the back, not the face, but the two I feel the same about human temperament, even if the person who appeared in the big library is not the same person as this savior, the two must be related."

"Really? Are you telling the truth?" The Priestess of the Lamp Goddess stood up excitedly and hurriedly confirmed.

The priest of the goddess of civilization nodded affirmatively.

The Priestess of the Goddess of Victory didn't talk nonsense, and said, "In this case, let's mobilize all our strength and look for it in the city!"

As a result, the two priestesses who had come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime had stood with the priestess of the goddess of the lantern at this moment, and fully cooperated with the priest of the goddess of the lantern to find the savior in the oracle.

Even in order to find that person as soon as possible, they also took the initiative to publicize the identity of that person's savior. First, it can attract the residents of the city to look for it together, and second, it can let the person know their current identity and contact them proactively.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they announced that the Goddess of the Lantern issued an oracle and the savior appeared in New Rand, the savior in the oracle, Leo, had already left the city of New Rand, but was rushing to the former Rand. German city.

Ever since he knew that the energy in this world came from a kind of energy ore called Pava crystal, Leo became curious about this Pava crystal that can provide energy and change the environment by naturally emitting energy, so he directly Leaving New Rand City, unfolding the psychic wings, letting go of the speed completely, flew towards Rand City, and soon returned to the outskirts of Rand City.

Leo, who came to Rand City, did not enter the city center. Instead, he found the location of the Rand City Power Plant based on the map of Rand City he had obtained. This is also the world standard city layout. The power plant was built in Pava above the crystal.

However, what puzzles Leo is that the power plant has completely collapsed. This kind of completeness is not an adjective, but a statement of facts. The entire power plant and the surrounding area of ​​four to five hundred meters have all collapsed underground, forming a A huge tiankeng, and at the bottom of the tiankeng, all the buildings have become fragments, and the original shape of these buildings cannot be seen.

The scene in front of me gave people a feeling, as if the underground of the power plant had suddenly become a huge cavity, and then everything on the ground was completely destroyed in the cavity collapse.

"Could it be that the destruction of the power plant is related to that kind of energy crystal?" A guess emerged in Leo's mind, and at the same time, the mental net was also scanning towards the ground.

Soon Leo discovered that the underground situation buried by the ground buildings was a bit strange. He didn't find any energy crystals from the ground, only saw a series of pipe-like tunnels criss-crossing and hollowing out the entire underground soil, only some The fairly hard rock supports the entire ground, but judging from the density of those tunnels, the structure of the ground is very fragile, and the remains of the power plant may collapse again at any time, and sink deeper.

Leo estimated that the original location of those underground pipelines should be a large number of energy crystal mines, but these mines have been dug away. From the size and shape of the passage, it is not difficult to guess that the ones who dug out these crystal mines should be in the urban area. Giant vines in the building.

Seeing this situation, Leo could only turn around and continue walking towards the city center, but when he came to the nearest building, he paused, because the giant parasitic vines in his building made him feel strong hostility, It seems to regard him as a prey, and this feeling is completely different from the flattering feeling of giant vines when I was here a few days ago.

Just when Leo was thinking about what caused this difference, the giant vines in the building began to attack Leo. Suddenly, gorgeous flowers grew on the vines, and these flowers quickly erupted outwards. A kind of fluorescent spores, in almost an instant, everything around the building was covered by these fluorescent spores, even Leo's location was surrounded by fluorescent spores.

This fluorescent spore does not have any hallucinogenic effect, but it has a strong corrosive effect, and this corrosive effect is only for living things. In front of Leo's eyes, several gophers who had not had time to escape were wrapped in fluorescent spores After getting up, it was corroded and melted into a pile of liquid, and then tentacles grew from the ground, sucking the liquid.

Although these fluorescent spores pose a fatal threat to living things, for Leo, these spores, let alone harm him, can't even get close to him. There is always a spiritual force field working around him. As soon as the spores approached him, they were pushed away by an invisible energy, without causing him any hindrance.

And the wisdom of that giant vine was not very high. It wasn't until Leo came under the building and entered the building that he realized that his attack had no effect, so he began to squirm his huge body, drive the vine, and attack directly Leo broke into the building.
