The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just like the seminaries in other countries, the seminaries in the Kingdom of England were also built by the Orthodox Church, but the seminaries in the Kingdom of England were also divided into two campuses because of the relocation of the capital, and the seminaries in Durin It is a wholly-owned construction by the royal family, and even the administrators and clergy teachers of the seminary are appointed by the royal family. The theology taught here is mainly based on the teachings of the Anglican Church of Poseidon, and has nothing to do with the Orthodox Church.

Although the Orthodox Church had raised various protests more than once at the place where Dulin Theological Seminary was built, and even recalled all the clergy who were stationed in the Salan Theological Seminary, as if they wanted to close the Salan Theological Seminary, but in the end the Orthodox Church The court still compromised. Compared with the flourishing Kingdom of England, the Orthodox Church, which had already set in, naturally had no way to contend, not to mention that the sea had never been within the sphere of influence of the Orthodox Church.

Because of this, Durin's seminary is also known as the royal seminary, and the people who study there are mainly members of the British royal family, and other countries that have good relations with the Kingdom of England will also send their own dignitaries. Study in the seminary here, so as to narrow the relationship with the Kingdom of England.

The site originally selected for the construction of the Durin Theological Seminary was in the center of Durin City, but the Congress tried to intervene in the construction of the Theological Seminary under the pretext of the National Capital Construction Order promulgated earlier. For this reason, the royal family had to abandon the selected city center address , chose to build a seminary on the outskirts of the city.

It's just that people didn't expect that this kind of helpless choice made Dulin Theological Seminary the most important city landmark in Dulin.

Perhaps because of anger or other reasons, when the royal family built Durin Theological Seminary, it was completely built according to the appearance of the legendary underwater megalithic city where Poseidon lived, and invited the best architects in the world at that time to build it. Some things in the city that were too unsuitable for ordinary people’s aesthetics were removed, some special gardens and sculptures were added, and this unique seminary was finally completed.

However, what really makes Dulin Theological Seminary famous is not the weird architectural styles that can be seen everywhere in the seminary, but some weird things that happened during the construction of the seminary and after the seminary was completed.

During the construction of the seminary, more than one construction worker saw an extremely strange and huge figure appearing in the unfinished seminary in the middle of the night, and all of these people fell ill afterwards without exception, and had a high fever. Few people died of illness directly, and those who recovered all had their brains burnt out due to high fever, and the whole person became muddled and crazy.

At that time, it was reported that the construction workers saw the incarnation of the god of the sea, but people couldn't look directly at the god, so their souls were hurt the moment they saw the incarnation of the god, and that's why they got sick later.

For this kind of rumor, the royal family responded immediately when it appeared and refuted the rumor, but the effect was not very good. Compared with the series of boring official speeches announced by the royal family, this kind of mysterious rumor It's easier to attract people's attention.

What's weird is that the royal family's response to such rumors that may affect the progress of the seminary's construction was only to issue some clarification statements, and then did not take any action, and did not trace the source of the rumors, etc. It also made some people speculate that these rumors may have been spread by the royal family themselves, in order to re-establish the belief in the sea god in this era when the gods disappeared.

However, this kind of strange thing that happened to construction workers is not widely spread, it is only spread in the Kingdom of England, and many people regard it as some anecdote such as urban legend.

What really spread the reputation of Durin Theological Seminary all over the world is actually the architects and engineers who participated in the construction of the city.

According to statistics, not counting those in the Kingdom of England, Durin Seminary has invited more than 30 architects and engineers from all over the world to participate in the construction of the Seminary. These architects and engineers are mainly responsible for the buildings in the city. renovation work.

Because the Seminary was built in imitation of the undersea city where the legendary Poseidon lived, those buildings are very majestic and tall. Only giants can live in such buildings, which are not suitable for ordinary humans to live in, so all the interiors of the buildings need to be remodeled. Suitable for ordinary people to live in. In addition, there are too many reliefs and decorations on the outside of these buildings that do not conform to human aesthetics, so these things also need to be transformed.

These more than 30 architects are all very famous architects in Vinylon World. It is very simple for them to renovate buildings. All the buildings of the seminary have been remodeled.

After receiving a generous commission from the royal family, these more than 30 architects left the Kingdom of England one after another and returned to their respective countries.

Three months later, news came that the architects who participated in the reconstruction of Durin Theological Seminary suddenly went crazy, and not just one, but all the more than 30 architects, and these buildings Without exception, all the teachers experienced auditory and visual hallucinations before going mad.

All of them mentioned to the people around them more than once in the previous three months that they heard a whispering sound accompanied by the waves, and they all once saw a huge figure towering over the city in the middle of the night, and then All become neurotic and eventually downright insane.

Afterwards, someone investigated and found that before each of these architects went crazy, they all filled their notes, books, and even the walls with a distorted and weird-looking text, which made anyone feel a little creepy after seeing it.

At that time, some people speculated that those architects who remodeled the city of Poseidon offended the gods and were cursed by the gods. None of the architectural designers were affected in any way.

And then again, if it is true that they will be cursed by Sea God, shouldn't the royal family who let these architects transform the architectural style of Sea God's city be the most cursed?

This incident caused a lot of trouble in the Vinylon world at the time, and Durin Theological Seminary was also known as a cursed place, and these rumors even affected the English Parliament. Some members of Congress have already proposed to stop the construction of Durin Theological Seminary, and even Completely overthrow the previously built part.

As the center of the vortex, the royal family seemed very calm. They neither came out to refute the rumors nor sent people to investigate the source of the rumors. The crown prince and other royal children lived in Dulin Theological Seminary under the leadership of the Sea God Church.

After these people checked into Dulin Theological Seminary, they didn't experience any abnormalities. On the contrary, because the environment of Dulin Theological Seminary was very comfortable and beautiful, each of them lived very comfortably.

This move of the royal family of England virtually shattered the rumor, and a storm soon passed, and the reputation of Durin Theological Seminary spread to all countries in the world of Velen.

Originally, this incident should have passed with the passage of time, but not long after, the homes and studios of more than 30 architectural designers were stolen and destroyed. All the stolen things were the designers' work notes, and the destroyed The only ones are the walls of houses filled with distorted words.

The police from all over the world who investigated this matter felt that this matter should be related to the Kingdom of England, but they did not continue to investigate for various reasons, and finally the matter completely subsided, and only the reputation of Dulin Theological Seminary remained.

The Durin Theological Seminary has always been in Leo's plan. Even without Panier's deputy envoy, after Leo came to Durin, he would make a special trip to the Durin Theological Seminary for nothing else. It was all to see what the sea god's city looked like.

During the construction of Dulin, the road driving problem was considered, so under the design of the engineer, the road was widened a lot. The original plan only required four carriages in parallel, but after three times of reconstruction, the road was finally finalized in a way that could The width of twelve carriages in parallel.

The carriage drove extremely fast on such a road, and it had crossed the city of Turin in less than half an hour and arrived at the outskirts.

After entering the suburbs, not only did the road not become narrower, nor did the road condition get worse, but it became wider, allowing twenty-two cars to run in parallel, and there were more statues on both sides of the road, and these statues were all gods without exception. The statue, which is also a disguised reminder that people have entered the scope of the seminary.

Durin Theological Seminary is not so much a college as it is a city of learning. The college also felt this, so they began to submit proposals to Congress, wanting to separate Durin Theological Seminary from Durin and become a separate Administrative regions.

After entering the seminary, Leo didn't feel anything strange, but thinking about it, if it was so easy to feel the abnormal situation, then the special bureau might have already settled here, and it wouldn't let the children of the royal family and other countries The children of the rich and powerful entered here to study.

Although it was during the holiday period, there were not many people in the college. The rich and powerful children from other countries did not go back, but chose to stay in the seminary. Most of these powerful and powerful children brought a large number of servants and servants, plus Some other people who specialize in serving these powerful children make the urban area outside the seminary still very lively.

The carriage stopped steadily at the main entrance of the seminary. After Leo got out of the car and paid the fare, he walked directly to the seminary.

Unlike the Royal Academy, which requires a pass to enter, the seminary is much looser in this respect. As long as it is not making trouble, even ordinary people can enter the seminary to attend various courses, and even participate in the monthly conference of the Sea God Church. Mass, which also made the Seminary very popular with the poor of Durin.

After entering the seminary, Leo did not immediately go to the specific area where the nobles from various countries lived, but walked towards the temple of the gods facing the gate.

The Temple of the Gods of the Durin Theological Seminary is definitely the most eye-catching building in the entire Theological Seminary, and even the entire Durin. This building is directly hollowed out from a hill, with the mountain as the main structure of the building. The hill was transformed into a temple of the gods.

There are a total of more than 700 statues of gods here, covering almost all kinds of gods in the entire Velen world from ancient times to the present. Some of these gods are real, and some are just legends. In addition, there are also rumors that there is an underground palace similar to the one above this temple of the gods, and the statues there are all evil gods that have not been recognized by the Orthodox Church.

Leo came to the gate of the temple of the gods. The nearly six-meter-high gate and the bronze door panel made Leo think of the giant house on Yam Island. It seems that the temple of the gods is no bigger than the giant's Housing is poor.

On both sides of the gate are two giant statues supporting the eaves of the entire gate. These two giants represent the two legendary gods. There is a legend handed down in the Kingdom of Maris, which mentions that the whole world is formed by two giants. The gods are carried on their shoulders, in the air, to keep the world from being overwhelmed by the endless sea below.

These two gods are just local legends of the Kingdom of Marris, and have not been recognized by the Orthodox Church. There is not even a church related to these two gods in the Kingdom of Marris, but even so, these two legendary gods are still It was carved here and became the first deity that can be seen in the pantheon, which made some people guess that the arrangement of the statues by the British royal family was actually a demonstration to the Orthodox Church on purpose.

The relationship between the English royal family and the Orthodox Church is not good, because when the English royal family claimed to be the patron of the sea god in the early days, the Orthodox court did not admit that there was a sea god in this world, but it did not say that the sea god believed by the English royal family was an evil god. .

However, even though the Orthodox Church did not classify Sea God as an evil god, there were still many people who deliberately distorted the statement of the Orthodox Church at that time, and classified the Yingge royal family as the followers of evil gods, so as to damage the reputation of the Yingge royal family. The Sea God Scepter of the Ge royal family was also lost at that time.

Later, through a series of negotiations, the British royal family agreed with the Orthodox Church to build a seminary in Saran, and the Orthodox Church also recognized the belief in Poseidon.

Although the matter seemed to be resolved, in fact, the royal family’s resentment towards the Orthodox Church has never diminished, and they have always wanted to find opportunities to take revenge on the Orthodox Church. On the bright side.

Although the Congress was a little worried about this drastic move by the royal family, it did not say anything. After all, the Parliament of the Kingdom of England was also very dissatisfied with the Orthodox Church. Pointing fingers.

Leo paused for a moment in front of the pantheon full of the royal family's resentment towards the Orthodox Church, and then walked into it.

The interior of the temple is very large, consisting of fifteen temples. Each temple is conical, surrounded by spiral succession, extending to the top. On the stone wall next to the stairs, there are shrines. There is a statue of a god in the shrine, some of which have gathered a lot of people praying in front of the statue, while some of the statues are empty and deserted.
