The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't know that his act of taking the two meat balls had caused some troubles. He had already returned to the hotel and lay on the bed thinking carefully about what happened tonight, feeling that something was wrong here.

Although the three lightning and thunder that changed the nature of the world were the cause of the family's out-of-control incident, it is unreasonable for a desert town like Ethiopia to have so many family members, and it is still a place where all supernatural powers are strictly controlled. Kingdom of Vail.

After going from the canyon to the ground, Leo spread the spirit net to the whole city. He didn't intend to use the spirit net to perceive subtle things, so he lowered the perception accuracy of the spirit net and expanded the range of perception. The whole city is enveloped in it.

After the spiritual network continuously fed back the perceived information, Leo felt very puzzled, because there were too many family members in this town. A rough calculation showed that there were as many as seventy or eighty people. In Lia City, there are no more than ten family members hiding there, and the area of ​​Esai City is less than one-twentieth that of Miria City.

With such a high-density gathering of family members, the local Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death will definitely find these family members. With the way of the Lord Church of the Birth and Death of religious fanatics who are all heretics except me, none of these family members can escape If they are killed, they will either be killed on the spot, or they will be sent to the dungeon of the church, where they will be imprisoned forever. On a certain religious festival, they will be burned and sacrificed to the Lord of the birth and death of all things.

But now so many family members have not been wiped out by the local Church of the Birth and Death of Everything, and they are allowed to live here. Obviously, this is completely different from the way the Church of the Lord of Birth and Death used to do things.

"Could it be them?" At this moment, Leo suddenly remembered that he guessed that those out-of-control family members were artificially made. He was still wondering who was behind the scenes. The Church of the Lord of Destruction naturally became his biggest object of suspicion, and more importantly, he discovered the process of the priests of the Church of the Lord of Birth and Death taking meat balls from the corpses of those skilled monsters.

In Leo's view, the Lord of Birth and Death created this meatball-like alien god cell and transplanted them into humans. These implanted people may not even know that there is an extra thing in their body, so they Nor has it undergone any kind of training to strengthen the will or prevent loss of control.

Now the world is suddenly reorganized, and the gods are beginning to return. Except for the Black Forest, I am afraid that even the Lord of the Birth and Extinction of All Things does not know about this incident. The sudden change activated these fleshy balls of alien cells, and produced mutations in these human bodies. It ended up being this out of control situation.

Leo thought over and over again, and was also in the hotel room, perceiving all the movements that were happening in the city at the moment through the spiritual network. The information exposed from various details made Leo more and more affirmed his guess.

"Why? Why did they do this?" After affirming his guess, Leo had strong doubts in his heart.

Leo really couldn't figure out why the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death wanted to create a heretic family. According to the teachings of the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death, they were extremely hostile to any extraordinary power, even other religions that belonged to the Orthodox Church.

However, this doubt did not bother Leo for too long. In the early morning of the next day, the hypnotic effect produced by the singing had disappeared, and the people in the city recovered from their deep sleep, and recalled what happened last night. Only when such emotions erupted did Leo understand the intention of the Lord of Birth and Death to do so.

I saw that no matter whether it was people who were devastated because their relatives and friends died at the hands of monsters, or people who fell into inexplicable panic because of those monsters, or people who were affected by other emotions, they all heard the news of the death of all things without exception. When the church bell rang for the early morning prayer, he put down everything in his hands and rushed to the church square in Beicheng District.

These people are all like the most devout believers, participating in this prayer ceremony, among them are not only those who have never believed in gods, even foreign tourists who believe in other gods also come here to express their gratitude to the birth and death of all things. Lord pray.

It is no exaggeration to say that after today's prayer ceremony, nearly 90% of these people will become devout believers of the Lord Church of the Birth and Death of All Things, others will become pan-believers, and some foreigners will even change their minds. Believe, and among the 90% pious believers, there will definitely be a large number of fanatics.

Calculated in this way, in the sudden disaster yesterday, the Savile Kingdom must have suffered heavy losses, and it will take a long time for the Saviles to return to normal life, but for the Lord Church of the Birth and Death of All Things, this This disaster is like a harvest feast of faith. From today onwards, the position of the Church of the Lord of Life and Death in the Savile Kingdom will be unshakable.

You must know that with the disappearance of the gods, industries began to appear in the world of Velen, and people's belief in the gods became weaker and weaker. Even a religious kingdom like the Savile Kingdom was still affected by this world change. The king's rights The rights of the nobles, merchants, soldiers, etc. are all increasing rapidly. Under such circumstances, the rights of the church will inevitably be greatly weakened.

Although in the Savile Kingdom, the power of the church is still great, but this kind of power is only relatively speaking. Compared with the absolute power of the church in the past, it is obviously not weakened by a single bit.

In this case, the church definitely needs to do something to restore the church's reputation and power.

When religion can attract believers the most, there is no doubt that when disasters occur, and in the midst of disasters that ordinary people cannot solve, believers will unreservedly pray to the gods for protection.

Therefore, if the Church of the Lord of All Things Birth and Death wants to regain absolute power in the Savile Kingdom, the best way is to create a disaster, and a desperate and frightening out-of-control family incident is definitely the most likely to cause disasters. Disaster in effect.

Thinking about what happened last night, ordinary people don't even have the strength to resist the monsters turned into by the out-of-control family members. Just seeing these monsters, they have fallen into hysterical madness and can only become monsters food.

However, these monsters resisted by ordinary people turned into flames and were burned to ashes amidst the bells and scripture chants of the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things. Metaphor.

Leo can even be sure that even if the world mutation event last night did not occur, the meat ball alien cells in those people would be stimulated for other reasons, turning those people into out-of-control family members and completing a divine salvation in a disaster.

At this moment, Leo could already imagine that in the not-too-distant future, the position of the Church of the Lord of Life and Death in the Kingdom of Savile would return to its peak.

However, Leo is not interested in the power struggle of the Savile Kingdom. He has already obtained the information he wants in the Savile Kingdom. After leaving, he may not come here again for a long time. What he cares about now is what to do leave.

After the prayer service in the church, the hotel owner returned to the hotel, and also brought Leo some bad news. The church knights had taken over the city defense, and they were going to conduct an investigation on the whole city, in case there were still hidden monsters here. There are out-of-control family members, and during this period, everyone, including foreign tourists, is not allowed to leave the city of Ethiopia, and even the canyon train has been stopped.

Although the reason of the church is very good, Leo does not think that the reason why the church blocked the whole city is really for some hidden out-of-control family members, it must be for other things, and what he thinks of is the two meat he took away. Ball alien cells.

He thought that if his hypothesis was true and the disaster last night was caused by the Church of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things, then it must be very important to recover the meat ball alien cells in the bodies of these out-of-control family members. The city also makes sense.

At noon, several priests of the Lord of the Birth and Death of All Things led a team of church knights to the hotel where Leo lived, and asked the hotel owner to gather all the foreign tourists living here.

There are not many foreign tourists living in this hotel, except for Leo, there are only a couple and an explorer.

When the four of them came to the hall, the priests first noticed Leo, because only Leo had a different look among the four.

The other three, even the experienced adventurers, looked extremely pale, and even their hands and feet trembled involuntarily because of what happened last night. Their eyes were full of fear and anxiety, but Leo was completely different. It was so peaceful, so peaceful that it was as if nothing had happened.

"Name?" Among the several clergy, the older one gestured to his companion, walked up to Leo, and asked in a deep voice.

"Leo Dodd." Leo didn't intend to conflict with the Church of the Lord of Life and Death, so he replied truthfully.

"Nationality?" The man quickly searched the name in his memory, but he didn't remember any relevant content, so he asked again.

Leo simply replied: "The Kingdom of England."

The priest asked, "Please tell me what happened to you yesterday."

Leo unhurriedly recounted what happened yesterday, but the content naturally needs to be revised. He said that when the accident happened, he returned to the ground along with the flow of people fleeing the canyon river bend market, and then heard the bell. After singing and singing, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until daytime.

Although Leo's rhetoric was not much different from others, when Leo mentioned the Hewan Market, the eyes of these clergymen immediately flashed a light, and then told Leo that they needed to check each other's body, and When he said these words, those church knights also gathered and blocked all the entrances and exits, vaguely trapping Leo in siege.

Afterwards, the clergyman took out the metal disc from his pocket, put it in his hand, prayed silently, and the disc burst into bursts of light.

The hotel owner present, the hostesses, and the guests were all attracted by this strange sight, and they looked at the priest with awe.

On the other hand, the expressions of those priests showed disappointment when the light appeared on the disk.

And the head clergyman repeatedly brought the disk in front of Leo, and after repeated testing a few times, he didn't see the scene he thought in his heart, so he withdrew the divine power from the disk and took the disk back to the in pocket.

"It will take a few more days for the city to be blocked. You'd better stay in the hotel and don't run around." The priest said to Leo and the others after putting away the disk.

After finishing speaking, he didn't intend to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked out of the hotel, heading for the next location.

Hearing that they still need to stay here for a few more days, the ordinary tourists showed dissatisfaction on their faces, but the people from the church were there just now, and none of them dared to talk nonsense. When the people from the church left, they couldn't help it. After cursing a few words, it was only after the hotel owner's face became gloomy that they realized that they had done a stupid thing. They even scolded the clergy of the Lord of Birth and Death church in front of the believers of the Lord of Birth and Death.

Leo ignored the small conflicts that were happening in the hotel. He returned to his room, put the things he bought yesterday on the table, and then studied these things, without paying any attention to the matter just now.

Just now he can say that he has confirmed the speculation about the reason for the closure of the church. At the same time, he has also confirmed that after the abyss big snake swallows the two meatball alien cells, it will not cause any trouble to him, so what he has to do now is Just wait for the block time to pass.

The next three days passed very peacefully, and two teams of priests brought people to check, but none of the items were found on Leo's body. In the end, the Church of the Lord of Life and Death could only announce the complete lifting of the ban on the city. Restarts Canyon Railway trains.

In these three days, some news from abroad spread to the Savile Kingdom one after another, and was compiled into the newspaper of the Savile Kingdom.

Leo asked the hotel owner to buy all the newspapers available on the market, and then read them one by one. After reading the newspapers, he also had a general understanding of the current world situation.

As he expected, the lightning and thunder that occurred that day also occurred in other places in the Velen world, and there were also out-of-control family members, but the number of out-of-control family members in those places was far less than that in the Savile Kingdom.

For example, the neighboring country of the Savile Kingdom, the Marris Kingdom, which is currently undergoing a civil war, has out-of-control families in five cities, and three of the out-of-control families have escaped from the city and entered the deep mountains. They were all wiped out, and both the rebel army and the government seemed to be concealing the matter of the family members. They only vaguely wrote some facts in the newspapers rather than the content, and they all wrote these times as tragedies caused by the other party, etc.
