The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1499: Miracles and Gifts

Just as Leo cleaned up the cultists of the Son of the Virgin and was on his way back to the camp, the aftermath of the divine punishment light he cast through the Mark of Punishment was gradually evaporating.

At the moment when the light of divine punishment appeared, the holy emblems of justice in all the churches of the righteous churches in the whole world exuded a dazzling light. These lights not only alarmed the clergy of the various churches, but even the Pope in the main church. It was also alarmed, because when the holy emblem was glowing, the Pope was presiding over the promotion ceremony of a dozen clergy in the main hall of the main church. These dozen clergy will be assigned to all over the world as bishops of the diocese.

Different from the ascension ceremonies of the parish bishops of other churches, the ceremonies of the Righteous Church will be held at night, which means that these parish bishops will act as churches to resist the walls of darkness and treat darkness as outside the civilized world.

Because this promotion ceremony was presided over by the Pope, the ceremony was very grand. Many countries attached to the protection of the Justice Church also sent representatives to participate in the ceremony. Some True God Churches that have a good relationship with the Justice Church, such as the Holy Heart Church They also sent their own messengers.

When the Pope of the Church of Justice held the ceremony in the middle of the ceremony and began to wear the bishop's crown for the clergy who participated in the promotion ceremony, the powerful light emitted by the holy emblem instantly illuminated the entire hall, and even penetrated the hall, illuminating the Outside, the Hall of Justice on the top of the mountain has been turned into a lighthouse. Not only the people in Justice City at the foot of the mountain can see this light, but even several cities on the edge can also see this dazzling light.

On the contrary, it was because the light of the Hall of Justice was too conspicuous, which directly led to the light emitted by the badges of the Sanctuary of Justice in other cities around the main sanctuary, and only a few priests of the Church of Justice noticed it.

Miracles, all those who witnessed all this and heard of these things later believed that this was a miracle performed by the Righteous Church, a manifestation of the divine might of the Righteous Church, and a large number of devout followers of the Righteous Church began to flock to the churches in their respective cities. Participated in the religious ceremonies held by the church with great enthusiasm, and the drowsy religious ceremonies in the past seemed to be extremely interesting at this time.

Compared with the fanaticism of the believers, the higher-ups of the Justice Church were puzzled, puzzled, and more worried about the sudden radiance of the holy emblem.

The Pope who presided over the ceremony knew very well that the light of the holy emblem had nothing to do with him, or even justice, because he could not feel any divine will of justice in that light, but he was very contradictory and could be sure that the light and The light of justice is exactly the same.

Therefore, after presiding over the ascension ceremony, he summoned all the archbishops, paladin tutors and ascetic masters of the main sanctuary, and came to the temple where the artifact of justice was stored, prayed to justice, hoped to receive the revelation of justice, and told them The reason for the light.

However, what disappointed them was that justice did not give them any response, as if justice had disappeared, which made the Pope of Justice even more uneasy and worried, so the instructions to investigate the cause of the light of the holy emblem were sent as quickly as possible. In the hands of every bishop in the world, this event has also become a top priority for the Righteous Church.

What the Church of Justice did not know was that almost at the same time that the holy symbol of justice was glowing, the images of the Most High Virgin on the altars of the Son of the Virgin hidden all over the world were shedding blood and tears, as if mourning the loss of a certain life.

As reflected by the Church of Justice, the senior officials of the Church of the Child of the Virgin in various regions were also disturbed by the abnormality of the Madonna of the Most High. the same situation.

However, their unease soon turned into joy, because they found that the blood and tears shed by the Virgin of the Most High contained mysterious and powerful power. By diluting the blood and tears, they could obtain a potion that could improve their divine power fit, so Few people think that the shedding of blood and tears on the image of the Most High is a terrible thing, and they also see it as a gift from the Most High to them.

Later, when they learned that the same thing happened at the altars of other Virgins, the first thought was not to investigate the cause of the incident, but to feel that the gifts of the Most High Virgin should not fall into the hands of others, so a The infighting between the Churches of Our Lady of the Son is unfolding silently.

The battle between cultists is naturally impossible to be peaceful and rational. In addition, this is a battle within the Son of the Virgin, and they all know each other's abilities very well, so that they will all choose the most destructive means to deal with their own religion. Friends, this has also multiplied the large-scale cult sabotage incidents in various cities.

At this time, the Justice Church, which was supposed to be the main force of the positive pressure cultists, was not able to immediately respond to a series of events caused by the infighting between the Sons of the Virgin because of their focus on investigating the luminescence of the holy emblem. Some bishops of the Righteous Church believed that the focus of the church's energy should be on dealing with the cultists. They temporarily put aside the investigation of the holy emblem's luminescence and participated in the siege of the Christians of the Son of the Virgin. However, their number was still limited and they could not form the main force.

It is also for this reason that the Church of the Holy Heart, which has always been a foil for the Church of Justice in the past, has become the core and leader of this purging campaign against the Virgin of the Son of Mary, and other Churches of True God have also taken this opportunity to show their churches to the public. Not to lose to the armed forces of the Church of Justice.

Although the absence of an action to eliminate cultists will not cause too much damage to the reputation of the Righteous Church, other True God churches that participated in the siege and suppression of cultists have some ideas, especially the Holy Heart Church, the host of this purge operation. .

Compared with the losses of personnel, property, etc. caused by the infighting of the Church of the Son of the Virgin in other countries and cities, the losses of various towns in the Kingdom of Teresa are almost negligible, because the unique household registration system in the Kingdom of Teresa, As well as the overall warrior atmosphere of the kingdom, the Son of the Virgin cannot penetrate into the town at all, and can only wander in the mountains outside the city. Not only is it difficult for cultists to replenish manpower, even the Church of True God cannot recruit enough believers.

Although the infighting of the children of the Virgin did not cause much harm to the city, some of the evil forces they used in the battle would pollute the plants and animals in the mountains and create some uncontrollable monsters, so Teresa's kingdom was stationed in various places. Under the leadership of members of the Investigation Bureau specializing in hunting heretics, the corps will go deep into the mountains and take the initiative to eliminate these children of the Virgin who have been entrenched for many years.

Omran is an important city in the Kingdom of Teresa located in the southern High Wall Mountains. This is exactly the starting point of a shortcut to cross the mountain. Most of the merchants who take this shortcut will unload their goods here, and the various merchants of Teresa Kingdom, The Chamber of Commerce is handed over, and the goods will then be transported from the Rapids through the city of Omran to all parts of Teresa.

Because of the importance of this city, the Kingdom of Teresa specially arranged for two corps to be stationed here.

Just like the name of their corps, the 17th Corps is mainly responsible for the defense of the city and the security of Omran, while the 3rd Corps often enters the city into the mountains to hunt down the cultists hiding in the mountains, and sometimes even Secretly accept the employment of a certain country, directly climb the high-walled mountains, enter the battlefield of another country, and participate in a war on the land of another country.

Like the 3rd Corps, the whole corps accepts employment, and the other legions in Teresa Kingdom are similar, as long as they do not have a task assigned by the kingdom before hiring, and report to the kingdom, take one-third of the employment fee and turn it over to the treasury , you can directly change from the Kingdom Legion to the Mercenary Legion.

This kind of system may have a backlash in other countries, but not in Teresa Kingdom, because someone once thought of directly hiring Teresa Kingdom's legion to attack Teresa Kingdom, but he hired ten legions. Directly after he brought his army into the Kingdom of Teresa with confidence, he besieged it, and his own head was also given to the king as a trophy, and the country where this person was located eventually became a special A subordinate country of the Kingdom of Teresa, all the armed forces in the country are controlled by the corps of the Kingdom of Teresa.

This feast for the encirclement and suppression of the Son of Notre Dame, the Third Corps, a hunter corps that specifically targets heretics, will naturally not be absent. Before the True God Church took the initiative to contact the Third Corps and wanted to cooperate with it, the Third Corps had already set off into the mountains. In the middle of the siege, several cult strongholds have been encircled, including the stronghold of the Son of the Virgin and the strongholds of other cultists.

When the school city exchange team passed through the High Wall Mountains and arrived at Omran, the cultists around Omran had been emptied by the 3rd Corps, and a large amount of property looted from the cult stronghold was transported back by the Corps logistics team. In Omran, except for some strange objects containing evil powers, which will be handed over to the Kingdom Investigation Bureau and the Church of the True God, all the other trophies were sent to the Corps' own trophy auction house for auction.

After the school city team entered the city, the caravan in the team said goodbye to the scholars and left, and the team returned to the original school city team.

The head coach of the team also felt that it was safe now. In addition, everyone was very nervous recently, always worried that there would be cultists attacking them. Everyone was very tired, so they stayed in the special apartment of Xuecheng in Omran. After that, they announced their disbandment, and each of them could play in the city, so that everyone could relax.

Delkan invited Leo and Sylvia to participate in the loot auction of the Third Corps at this time, and by the way helped Leo and them to obtain a temporary identity certificate.

If foreigners do not want to join the kingdom and plan to live in the kingdom for a long time, they must apply for a time-sensitive identity certificate, which needs to be re-applied every time, and the identity certificates of Leo and Sylvia are only temporary. After they join the academy, they will automatically be granted the status of honorary citizens of the Kingdom of Teresa, with rights similar to those of regular citizens.

After listening to the household registration system and foreign policy of the Teresa Kingdom, Leo and Sylvia felt that this system and policy must not have occurred normally, because other countries in this world, even Europeans who are regarded as beacons of civilization, There is no such system in the Special Federation, and there is no soil to develop such a system, so this system does not need to be thought, it must come from some knowledge of the Earth Federation that the Kingdom of Teresa or the Academy has mastered.

In the past few days on the road, Leo deliberately deepened communication with scholars in the academy, and constantly took advantage of the tense atmosphere surrounding the team to obtain a lot of secret things. These things are both from the academy and the kingdom. Yes, among these hidden information, Teresa Kingdom has mastered more than one mysterious great civilization relic, and the Academy has also participated in the research on the knowledge of the relics with permission. Mystery item.

Although he has heard a lot of secret information, none of the information is what Leo wants to know the most. Until now, he still hasn't figured out why those cultists used taboo rituals before attacking the school city team. , summoning the demigods of the Son of the Virgin, and transforming the blasphemous priests. He does not think that those cultists are crazy to do such things that the loss is far greater than the gain. Obviously, there are definitely hidden people in the academy team who can make these cultists spare no expense. or things.

Leo also told Sylvia what he saw in the cult stronghold and his conjectures, and Sylvia thought that perhaps the target of the cultists was not the school city team, but those who mixed into the school city. Team of caravans.

At that time, Leo thought it was possible, and carefully checked the situation of those caravans, including the goods transported by the caravan, and carefully checked everything, but still found nothing.

He later imprisoned the cultists who were disguised as the Holy Heart heresy hunting team, and interrogated each other through various methods. uukanshu.com even searched the other party's brain memory directly through psionic skills, but still found nothing, and those cultists also triggered the evil spirits in their bodies because of their excessive force, mutated into monsters, and were followed by them. The knights of the kingdom joined forces to exterminate.

At the same time, because of the appearance of these mutated cultists, the scholars in the team were more and more certain that there would be cultists attacking them, and the atmosphere of the team became even more tense, and even the 3rd Legion cavalry who came to support them. The team did not ease the tension in the team.

Although Leo knew that the cult attack was impossible, he couldn't say it. He could only watch the people around him nervous all day long, and he was suspicious of any movement around him. Fortunately, this shortcut took less time. Not very long.

And after coming to Omran, Leo heard from the conversations of the people around him the miracles that appeared in the Church of Justice and the infighting of the Son of the Virgin.

Although these two events seem to others to be completely unrelated, Leo faintly felt from the time when the two events happened that it might have something to do with his use of the Punishment Mark to destroy that cult team.
