The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Eyes, my eyes!" The elder night watchman yelled in a panic, waving his hands around, trying to grab something.

"What's wrong? Josh!" Seeing this situation, the companion at the side hurried forward to hold the night watchman's hand.

"My eyes, my eyes can't see!" The elderly man who was supported by his companion stabilized his mood a little, opened his eyes wide and looked around, then his face was full of panic and fear, and he grabbed his companion's arm forcefully , Said: "Come on, let's get out of here!"

Although the young night watchman who had never seen his companion panic like he didn't understand what happened just now, he still instinctively obeyed his companion's suggestion, supported him vigorously, and quickly returned to the original road.

Because one person couldn't see anything, it took more than twice the time to go back than to track them down, and the two of them walked in a mess. When they arrived at the entrance of Wooden Barrel Town, they were more like two people. The fugitives, so that when the two of them entered the town, no one recognized that the two of them were the heroes who killed the two monsters just now.

Under the suggestion of the elders, the two did not return to the hotel where they lived, but went to a hut they rented secretly after coming to the town, where they also stored some weapons that were not convenient to put in the hotel.

After the two returned to the hut, under the instructions of the elder, the young night watchman quickly took out a few holy badges blessed by the Bishop of the Hill King and possessing the power of a real god from the secret storage box in the hut, and then put They hung on the doors and windows respectively, and then took out two heavy military crossbows, stuffed the arrows with special medicines into the ammunition slots of the crossbows, took one each, and sat in a relatively safe place in the room. On the edge of the stone wall.

At this time, the emotions of the two had stabilized, and the elder also told the younger companion what happened to him just now.

After hearing this, the young night watchman said with a surprised face: "You mean that after using the afterglow potion, you just looked at the person who killed that family member and you became blind. How is this possible?"

"Of course it is possible." The elder night watchman shook his head and said, "Don't forget that there is a sentence written in almost all church books, that is, He is invisible, unhearable, unknowable, and untouchable."

"God?" The young night watchman looked at his colleagues in surprise, as if he was looking at a lunatic, and couldn't help retorting: "Are you crazy? You think that what you see is a god? Although I don't know why this world It suddenly became chaotic, but it is impossible to be so absurd, you should be very clear that it is not an easy thing for the gods to appear."

"Of course I know very well," the elder didn't like his companion's tone, snorted coldly, and then added: "I didn't say he was a god, don't forget what the flaws of the afterglow potion are, why did the potion come down?" Finally, it will focus on telling us that there are several situations in which the drug cannot be used, the first of which is that it cannot be used in the facilities and institutions of various churches, and it cannot be used to see the clergy of the church."

The young night watchman thought about it for a while, and soon remembered the flaws of the afterglow potion, with a dazed look on his face, he said, "You mean that the person you saw possessed divine power?"

The elder nodded.

"Is he from the Church of the Hill King?" the young night watchman asked again.

"Impossible." The elder shook his head and said, "The Church of the Hill King's energy and manpower have all been dragged away by this war in the kingdom. There is no manpower to deal with these family monsters. How about letting those people from the Church How do you cooperate with our night watchmen, and even come up with such a good thing for us to use?"

"Then, you mean the evil god?" the young night watchman said nervously.

"It may be another family member of the evil god, or it may be a high-level cult member." The elder nodded and said, "No matter who it is, it is not a good thing for us. I hope he just came here by accident, no Against us, otherwise..."

At the end of the conversation, the elder didn't say any more but just clenched the heavy machine crossbow in his hand, and the young night watchman also knew what he meant, his face was a little ugly, and he sat quietly on the spot, using several available The potions and weapons on the board are all placed where they can be picked up easily.

Just when the two night watchmen were panicking because of an accident, Leo, the accident maker, had already returned to his carriage tent.

At this moment, the people in the camp had been attracted by what happened in Mutong Town. Many people went to the town to inquire about the news. The people in the camp also lost their sleepiness because of hearing the news. They were talking and discussing around the bonfire in the center of the camp, but the main content of their conversation was not the monsters in the town, but the scene they saw on the top of the snow mountain last night. Although a day had passed, the caravan went up and down The excitement still hasn't cut in half.

Because everyone's attention was on the Barrel Town, no one noticed Leo coming back from another direction. Only Sans, who was also woken up, saw Leo returning to the camp from outside.

Although Leo had cleaned up the blood sticking to his body through psychic power on the way back, the smell of blood was still very strong, and Sans, who was born in a sand bandit, was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, so he quickly wiped Leo away. The bloody smell on his body was connected with the movement in Mutong Town just now.

After returning to the tent, Leo carefully recalled the process of dissecting the family member, and sorted out the relevant information obtained.

He found that although these family members seemed to be very powerful from the outside, in fact, their key organs such as bones, muscles, and even visceral activities had not obtained the mutations that matched their bodies. The psychic impact that stunned this family member directly blasted the opponent's head. This kind of situation is absolutely impossible for the family members he met before.

In addition to the problem of the body itself, the most important point is that these family members do not have corresponding marks of gods.

Any kind of family members, whether they are infected by divine power or because of their blood, have the marks of their gods on their bodies, but the family members who were accidentally killed by Leo just now did not have the marks of gods on them, which also made him unable to help. Thinking of those night watchmen who have been transformed by the cells of the alien gods, or those humans who have special powers in their blood like witches.

Leo couldn't figure out the origin of this family member, so he took out the king and queen, and tried to use the method taught by Sylvia to activate the secret ability on it.

At the moment when the hidden power was stimulated, the surrounding scene immediately changed from a pitch-black tent to a sunny garden, and then countless light spots suddenly appeared in the air, and then spun rapidly, forming a Sylvia's look.

"Have you left the Savile Kingdom?" Sylvia asked urgently with a smile on her face after seeing Leo.

Leo nodded and said, "I've arrived in Wooden Barrel Town now, and I should arrive in Dry Steel City in two days. By then, I should be able to take the train..."

"It's impossible to make a train!" Sylvia suddenly interrupted Leo, and said, "I don't know why, all the machinery has broken down recently, and the steam train is among them, and there have been six or seven steam accidents. The out-of-control collision of the trains has now stopped the trains in both the government-controlled areas and the rebel-controlled areas. Before the cause is found out, except for a few steam trains transported by the military, other steam trains will be shut down.”

"This is because the energy efficiency of the parts has been enhanced." Leo did not hide his discovery from Sylvia, and directly informed Sylvia.

"Part energy efficiency?" Sylvia didn't understand for a while, and was taken aback.

Leo explained it carefully again, and Sylvia's face was full of shock. It was hard for her to imagine that an ordinary crossbow with more than a dozen parts could cause fatal damage to a family member. It really made her a little unbelievable.

"I have something to ask you." After Leo finished the explanation, he asked directly: "Do all the family members have the marks of their gods?"

"Of course, the reason why the family members exist is entirely because of the gods. They must have the imprint of the gods just like the lambs of the gods." Sylvia responded with great certainty, and then asked: "Did you meet someone who didn't The family members of the imprint of the gods?"

Leo nodded, and then told Sylvia about the family he encountered.

Sylvia was stunned when she heard it, but she didn't think that Leo was lying or made a mistake. She thought carefully for a while and said, "Maybe I know what they are?"

"What is it?" Leo asked.

"Lost." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

"Lost? Is this word so familiar?" Leo frowned, recalled a little, and suddenly thought of the origin of this word, and said, "The chaos of the lost."

"Yes, it's the Lost One in the Lost Man's Rebellion." Sylvia nodded, her expression became a lot more serious, and then said in a deep voice: "Your news is very important, I'm going to the King of the Hill Go to the church and tell the news to the top of the church, so as not to break out the second Lost Rebellion."

After finishing speaking, she didn't chat with Leo about other things, and directly closed the practice with Leo, and Leo also quit the garland world and returned to the carriage.

Although Leo was a little surprised by the answer of the Lost Man, he was not as nervous and serious as Sylvia.

For ordinary people, the Rebellion of the Lost is a thing that only exists in novels, but for people in the dark world, especially the church, the Rebellion of the Lost is not an illusory imagination, but a real occurrence The fact that this incident almost destroyed the whole world.

The Rebellion of the Lost did not take place not long ago. Just over two hundred years ago, all the churches had noticed that their connection with the gods had begun to weaken, and the church was losing the protection of the gods. The clergy of the arts is rapidly dwindling.

In order to maintain its dominant position in the dark world, the church secretly cooperated with the medical school at that time, and wanted to borrow some methods that have not been made public so far to create some priests who can use divine power and magic without receiving the blessing of the gods .

Obviously this kind of thing is blasphemy, so the church put the test site on a small island, and each participating church sent two meritorious bishops to take charge of things. Meritorious bishops are special existences in the church, and they do not Like other priests, they received the blessings of the gods and divine powers, but they became bishops by virtue of some other merits, so their connection with the gods was not deep.

The medical school did not have the status it has now. After being invited by the Orthodox Church, the dean of the year directly took his students to participate in this matter.

The entire test records were destroyed after the Rebellion of the Lost. All the people involved in this matter, including the top leaders of various churches, either took the blame and resigned, or simply silenced them. This is another heavy blow to the church that has already begun to decline. blow.

Leo was not very clear about the details of the Rebellion of the Lost. He just saw a little record of the Tower Wizard from the book of the Wizard Tower in Death Valley. Chaos, and mentioned that the underground church was also involved in this matter.

However, the tower wizard who wrote these contents seems to have concerns about this matter, so not only did the name not be left on the book, but even the details of the Lost Rebellion, the place where it happened, etc. were not written. down.

Because the content of this paragraph was vague and very short, Leo didn't take it seriously. If it wasn't for Sylvia's reminder, he would never have remembered the relevant content.

Looking back now, coupled with Sylvia's performance, he is also a little curious about the chaos of the lost, but if the lost is really the family he just solved, then this kind of lost will not There was nothing to worry about, a group of ordinary soldiers with slightly more powerful machine crossbows could deal with him.

What's more, as the world begins to mutate, the gods will gradually return, and the church that the reunited gods pay attention to will also become stronger again. It should not be difficult to deal with the lost.

Thinking of this, Leo temporarily put the Lost Man matter behind him, disassembled the machine crossbow before, and re-studied to see if it could be modified again.

The occurrence of monsters in the town broke the peace of Wooden Town. Everyone no longer thought that Wooden Town was absolutely safe as before, but they didn't leave, because other places outside the town were better than Wooden Town. Could be worse.

Therefore, several merchants in Mutong Town, the leaders elected by the local people, the mayor of the small town and other local people with status and fame gathered together and discussed it overnight. It was announced to the public that an army would be formed to defend the town.

As for the caravan, the changes in the town would not have much impact on them. In the early morning, they had already packed up the camp and continued to march towards Dry Steel City.
