The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1895 Transformation

"You just said that you had received an oracle from Sylvia." Leo looked at the Pope who was exuding a saintly aura, and said with doubts: "It stands to reason that a pious person like you should not violate the oracle." Sylvia's oracle is right, but your actions are contrary to your pious beliefs, could it be that Sylvia's oracle to you is denying my identity?" He paused, Shaking his head again, he said: "No, no, if you deny my identity, the moment I came to the holy city, you would have led the holy knights of grace to attack me instead of letting me stay in the big book In the museum, the presiding priestess of the goddess of civilization provided me with a large number of reading books as much as possible, so the oracle you received was to admit my identity, and you really violated the oracle."

Listening to Leo's analysis, the Pope didn't show any expression on his face. He neither indicated that Leo's guess was right, nor denied Leo's guess. She just remained silent for a while, and then asked a somewhat abrupt question, Said: "Does my lord want to save this world, or do I want to..."

Perhaps because he felt that what he said was too blasphemy, the Pope didn't continue to speak, but firmly grasped the pendant around his neck, and silently recited a prayer in his mouth, wanting to use this method to stabilize himself a little shaken faith.

Although the pope didn't finish his question, and the question didn't start and end, which felt very abrupt, but Leo vaguely understood what the other party wanted to ask, but he was a little puzzled as a saint-like pious Why does a person of faith have doubts about the core of the teachings of the object of her belief.

"What you want to ask is whether Sylvia wants to save the world or destroy it, right?" Leo directly asked the other party's question.

Hearing this question, the Pope's hand holding the holy emblem pendant tightened even more, as if it had pierced her palm. Blood oozed from the cracks in her fingers, flowed down the lines of her palm to her wrist, and then dripped fell to the ground.

Just like before, the Pope neither admitted nor denied, but just recited the prayer silently, but now her recitation is much louder than before, and she can vaguely feel that her mood has fluctuated greatly.

"Why do you doubt the intentions of the object of your belief?" Leo continued to ask without waiting for the Pope's response, but after asking, he immediately guessed: "The reason for your current state of mind is definitely not from the belief itself, It's not that you were bewitched by some evil power outside the world, the only reason for your suspicion is..." As he spoke, Leo seemed to realize something, looked at the Pope, and said, "You found that there is something in the sanctuary. secret?"

After hearing this, the Pope looked up at Leo and said excitedly, "It's true, it's true!"

Although the Sanctuary is the only place in the entire Holy City of Redemption, and even the whole world, where the disguise is stripped away, when Sylvia built the Sanctuary, she had secretly buried some rune magic circles, and used her power to form another A kind of camouflage, this kind of camouflage can make people who enter here not feel the image produced by the real law, such as increased gravity and so on.

However, now it seems that the pope in front of him may have bypassed the disguise of the sanctuary and seen the real side of the world due to some coincidence, but compared to coincidence, Leo is more willing to believe that it is hope. Sylvia let her see it on purpose.

It's just that everything she felt brought an unprecedented shock to her, and made her doubt Sylvia's purpose, which further shook her faith, but even though her faith was shaken, she still Possessing a devout faith like a saint, it can be seen how devout her faith is when her faith does not waver.

The Pope asked Leo a little excitedly: "Why? Why did my Lord ask me to destroy the laws of the world? I have seen the scene of the destruction of the laws of the world in the sanctuary. It is a scene of destruction. If the laws of the world are destroyed, The world will definitely fall into endless disasters, this is not salvation at all, it is destruction!"

Leo nodded, agreed with the Pope's words, and said: "On the surface, it is true. Once the existing world laws are destroyed, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes. These changes are not only reflected in the climate. More will be realized at the level of laws, such as gravity will increase a lot more than before, oil will not be able to ignite fire, water will boil in normal times, etc. In this environment, many people will die, and only some will survive come down."

The Pope asked urgently: "Since it will cause the destruction of the world, why did the Lord give me such an oracle?"

Leo said in a deep voice: "Because she only wants to bring the world back to its true face and strip away the false laws. You must know that the false laws are like bound ropes that tightly trap this world. If you don't change, This world will inevitably fall into the abyss in the end, maybe it has already fallen into the abyss now."

"What do you mean by that?" The Pope couldn't understand.

Leo was not stingy with everything he knew, and told the Pope the truth about this world, although what he said was mainly that the laws of the current world are false, and the scene she found in the sanctuary is real world, but he also borrowed the knowledge of the doomsday school more than once in the process of telling.

"Is this the taboo idea of ​​the doomsday bloodline?" Naturally, the Pope had also studied the taboo knowledge of this school, so she quickly noticed it and asked Leo.

Leo nodded, admitted the Pope's conjecture, and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect ordinary people in this world to be able to perceive the truth of the world. Although a lot of that knowledge is wrong, but The core content is true, and this world has indeed been treated as a sacrifice."

The Pope quickly came up with an association, and said in a proving way: "So Rockman accurately predicted the end of time. Our world should have been destroyed in that year. It was our Lord who brought us back from destruction."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Seeing this, the Pope raised his hand and touched the blood-stained Holy Emblem Pendant to his forehead, and then put it in front of his mouth and kissed it. At this moment, there seemed to be a qualitative change in her pious belief, and this qualitative change also As a result, the natural destructive power in her body had some changes that Leo didn't know the effect for the time being. All in all, the Pope in front of him seemed to have a hint of sacredness.

After the Pope calmed down, he asked again: "Since our Lord has already saved the world, why does our Lord want to destroy the world now?"

"Because this world is not really saved, it just postpones the arrival of the end." Leo explained: "You have read Rockman's creation theory, you should know that this world was originally just a world fragment, it is nine The demon gods made a bet to make this world fully formed, so all the laws of this world except the laws in the original fragment form are related to these nine demon gods. These laws are also the power that these nine demon gods can drag the world into the abyss as sacrifices The source. Sylvia should have isolated the nine demon gods’ sense of these laws back then, so they were able to keep the world temporarily. But if these laws are not cleared and the world returns to its original fragmented form, then this world will inevitably Because of these laws, they will be controlled by the nine demon gods again, and by then, even Sylvia may find it difficult to save this world."

Although the Pope had already guessed what Leo was going to say when Leo opened his mouth to explain, but after actually hearing it, he was still extremely shocked.

However, she didn't know the explanation made by Leo. Except for a part of the law of the world, the others, such as the nine demon gods, were all fabricated based on Rockman's creation theory, because he is not very Knowing whether the original appearance of this world is a fragment of the world, let alone whether the mysterious existence covering the world with a layer of camouflage laws is the nine demon gods mentioned in the creation theory, and he does not know that Sylvia asked him to Whether what he did was really to save the world, or whether it had other purposes, all in all, the explanation he made could not withstand too much scrutiny.

However, this kind of explanation that cannot withstand scrutiny is exactly what the Pope thinks in her heart. She has no doubts about some small loopholes in Leo's explanation. On the contrary, she thinks that there are loopholes. It was speculative, but for her, knowing that the Lord of Redemption she believed in really wanted to save the world was enough.

"Do I need to do something?" the pope asked in a deep voice.

"Can you execute the oracle you have obtained?" Leo asked back.

The Pope was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

She is very clear that even if the oracle she obtained was given by the Lord of Redemption, once she really follows the method suggested in the oracle, it will inevitably bring huge damage to Sanctuary City and other cities controlled by the Redemption Order. Even if she claims that the oracle was issued by the Lord of Redemption, people inside the congregation will not believe it, because it is impossible for any believer in the congregation of redemption to They would believe that the Lord of Redemption they believed in would do such a thing that could disrupt the stability of the world, so the only result waiting for her was to be arrested by the trial court, revoke the Pope's authority, and then be burned to death on the stake one day.

Leo said in a deep voice: "You don't need to implement the content of the oracle. I will find someone to implement it. They should be more suitable than you to do this kind of thing."

The Pope was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of something, and said in a deep voice, "He's from the Doomsday School, right?"

Leo nodded and said: "Since the people of the Doomsday School have always believed that the end will inevitably come, and the real salvation of the world is at the moment when the end comes, then they will definitely spare no effort to make the end appear in the way they imagined. implement those methods."

The Pope nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't show any happy expression on his face. Instead, he frowned. Obviously, she didn't like this kind of situation that was out of control.

Leo suggested again: "You don't have to be idle, you can prepare for the upcoming so-called doomsday, which may reduce unnecessary casualties and better preserve the civilization of the world."

After hearing this, the Pope thought about it quickly, and realized that this was an excellent opportunity for the Order of Redemption, an opportunity to make the Order of Redemption the only true religion in the world.

Although the world is currently dominated by the Order of Redemption, as people gradually adapt to the cold weather, they have found various ways to solve food problems. Although the abyss vines in the Lost City occupy the city, they have no effect on the people outside the city. Actively launching attacks, people's lives have also begun to settle down, and their belief in the Lord of Redemption is not as firm as it was at the beginning. The emergence of so many heretics, blasphemers, and heretics in the holy city is enough to illustrate this. The situation is already very serious, but this is still the case in the Holy City of Salvation, and the belief problems in other sanctuary cities will only become more serious.

But now that the end of the world has reappeared, and even more terrible disasters are sweeping the world, people in this world will also renew their most devout faith in the Lord of Redemption. This is undoubtedly a very good thing for the Redemption Order, and For the Pope, she can also use this opportunity to complete the religious reform she envisioned, so that the defects and loopholes left by the early establishment of the Order of Redemption can be completely filled.

The Pope briefly planned in his mind how he would act, and then asked Leo, "Do you need me to cooperate with people from the Doomsday School?"

"No need." Leo shook his head and said, "How the Redemption Order treated the Doomsday School in the past, we can just keep it the same in the future. Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be judged should be judged."

"I understand how to do it." The Pope nodded, then looked at Leo with complicated eyes, and said, "I owe you an apology. Since you came to the holy city, I have..."

"No need! I didn't take it to heart." Leo interrupted the other party's words and said.

The Pope was silent for a while, and then asked again: "Where are you going to leave the Holy City, do you need my help?"

"No need, I'm used to being alone." Leo rejected the Pope's kindness, then turned and walked outside the sanctuary.

The Pope watched as Leo walked to the door of the sanctuary, and was about to open the door to leave. She suddenly asked curiously: "I am curious about the relationship between your Excellency and my lord? From what you said just now, your Excellency and my lord The relationship seems to be very close, is it possible that you are my lord's favored person, or your lord's attendant?"

Leo stopped, looked at the pope behind him, then raised his hand, revealing the white deer ring in his hand, and said, "I am husband and wife with the Lord of Redemption you believe in."

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out of the sanctuary. Then, under the watchful eyes of the paladins, he cast his psionic wings, flew into the air, and flew towards the big library.

Behind him, the Pope of the Order of Redemption was stunned, and it took a long time to recover, but the shock in her heart still did not weaken, and she still had a dumbfounded expression on her face, but, soon she Seemingly thinking of something, she turned around and looked at the hand of the statue of the Holy Trinity Redeemer behind her, and a finger with a ring appeared in her sight.
