The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1526: Primitive

Remember [New] for a second,! "The Primordial Church turned out to be the Church of True God?" Leo and Sylvia were a little surprised when they saw the information.

Not only is this Primitive Church not a heretic church, but it is an official True God Church, and it is also one of the extremely ancient True God churches.

In addition, judging from the information they found, the Primordial Church has not been removed from the Church of True God so far, but on the contrary, all books related to the Church of the Primordial have been destroyed or listed as banned books by the Church of the Primordial Church. There is no trace of mission in the old and new continents, and the church where it was preached in the past should have also been destroyed. From this point of view, it seems to be treating a heretical church.

Because of this, Leo and the others did not find a lot of information in the second city library. Almost all the information about the Primitive Church was fragmented, and they could not get a glimpse of the Primitive Church. Especially I don't know what the teachings of the Primordial Church are, and how it got to this state.

After repeatedly finding out that there is no other material related to the Primitive Church, Leo turned to Bol and asked, "Pol, where can I find more books related to the Church of Heresy?"

Boll thought for a while and said, "These kinds of banned books involving the Church of True God and heresy are very sensitive, and are generally not placed in the big libraries in the first and second urban areas. You can go to the big libraries in other urban areas to see if they can More detailed information could not be found."

"Is the collection of books in the big libraries in other cities different?" Sylvia questioned.

Boll explained: "Of course it is different. The large libraries in the five urban areas have different collections of books, and the prohibited areas are also completely different. Except for the first urban area, where no prohibited areas are set up, the other four large libraries in the other four urban areas have different collections of books in the prohibited areas. There is a big difference, like the big library in the 4th city is completely banned books, there are no ordinary books, and reading the banned books there also requires an application, and after some tests, it is said that this is because there are some terrible things hidden in the banned books there , Ordinary people will go crazy and even become monsters if they read a little bit.”

Hearing this, Leo and Sylvia both showed interested expressions on their faces.

Leo also vaguely felt that if he wanted to find more detailed information about the Primitive Church, he probably needed to go to the big library in the fourth city, so he asked: "Is it difficult to apply for the big library in the fourth city to find information? "

Bohr shook his head and said: "It's not difficult, as long as you have the status of a scholar, you can apply even if you are not a scholar in the Xuecheng, but it takes time to pass the application, because there are too many people who want to go to the fourth city library to check materials. There are too many, and additional tests are required, so it takes a long time to pass the application." He seemed to feel that his explanation for the long time was not specific enough, so he gave an example: "My uncle also applied for the past in the fourth urban area. It took a total of three months from the application to the final approval of the materials in the big library, and it took another half a month to queue up to enter the big library.”

"Is there no other faster way?" Leo asked again.

"No, even if the Dean wants to go to the big library in the fourth city to check the materials, these procedures are also required." Bohr shook his head, and then suggested: "If you can't wait, you can also go to the third city. Take a look at the seminary, they have a religious history research room there. Almost all religious-related materials, whether it is from the Church of True God or the heretical church, should be able to be found there. They also have forbidden books related to the secret history of religions. It will not be much less than the collection of books in the Great Library. By the way, the teacher Cormier who studies marks, badges and totems I mentioned earlier also came out of the Seminary of the Third City."

"There is still a seminary in the academic city?" Sylvia looked at Bol Road in surprise.

"Of course, there are many devout believers in the True God Church, but this does not prevent them from studying all kinds of knowledge," Bohr explained: "The seminary in the third city is a union of some very devout believers. They did not believe that the knowledge spread by the academy was contrary to the teachings of the various True God churches, but believed that the two should be one, but they did not find the connection, so the purpose of their establishment of the seminary was to use their own All kinds of knowledge researched to explain the reason for the existence of the gods."

After listening to Bol's explanation, both Leo and Sylvia felt that this academic city was more interesting than they expected, and thought it necessary to get a good understanding of the large and small research laboratories in the academic city.

After understanding how troublesome it was to apply for the library in the Fourth City to access materials, Leo was already considering other methods, but before he actually took action, he still decided to follow Bohr's suggestion and go meet the guy named Keke. Mir's imprint specialist.

After coming out of the big library, Bohr led the crowd to the apartment of the Cormier scholar, which was both his residence and his research laboratory.

The Red Roof Street is in the outermost part of the second urban area, not far from the arch bridge leading to the third urban area. Most of the people living here are assistant scholars of some tutor research projects in the third urban area. They are arranged to live here except because the first In addition to the tense housing in the three urban areas, it is also to facilitate their research work.

However, this arrangement is somewhat taken for granted, because most of those assistant scholars do not want to go back and forth between the two urban areas, so even after get off work, they will stay in the tutor's laboratory to deal with it for one night, only during long vacations. Will go back to his apartment, so most of the apartment buildings in the red roof block are empty.

As a result, scholars who did not apply through the Xuecheng program, but wanted to set up their own private research projects, would choose to rent a few spare rooms in their apartment buildings to conduct their own research, and now The Cormier scholar Leo and the others were looking for was one of them.

The Cormier scholar is not very old. He looks only in his thirties, but some gray temples make him look a little old. Like most scholars in Xuecheng, even if he is very poor, he will Your clothes are neatly packed, especially when guests come.

Bol once took his courses, and the relationship between the two was not bad. When he met Bol, he also inquired about Bol's studies and exchanged a few words before asking why Bol came to him.

When he learned about the identities of Leo and Sylvia from Bol, he was very surprised. Obviously, he devoted himself to his research during this time. He didn't understand the outside world, and naturally he didn't participate So far, the debate has not subsided in the Xuecheng, and it is not known that two foreign scholars have just joined the Xuecheng and obtained the mentorship that almost all Xuecheng scholars dream of.

Now that he knows the situation, although he does not hide his envious look in his eyes, he does not have much jealousy, and he does not show any dissatisfaction or hostility. He just took two sips of water and took a little time to calm down before he calmed down. Asked Leo and Sylvia: "Two mentors, why did you come to me?"

"I want to ask, do you know the Primitive Church?" Leo asked directly.

Cormier frowned and questioned, "Why would you want to ask the Church of Primitives?"

Through this question, Leo already knew that they had found the right person. The person in front of him knew about the Primitive Church, so he explained the reason.

And when Cormier heard that Xuecheng had come up with so many stagnant and abandoned research projects for Leo and Sylvia to choose at will, the envy and jealousy that had just been suppressed reappeared on his face, and this time there was more jealousy Some.

It's no wonder that he feels jealous. You must know that since the day he became a formal scholar, he has been submitting applications for his research projects to the Xuecheng, but after more than ten years, he has changed from an ordinary scholar to a scholar. The assistant scholar has become an elective teacher again, and his application has still not been approved, but the two foreign scholars who have just joined Xuecheng do not need to submit any applications, they can choose any research projects and set up research laboratories. Even people with a good mentality may have abnormal emotions.

However, Cormier managed to control his jealousy very rationally. After drinking a few more sips of water, he thought for a while before saying: "The matter about the Primitive Church should be able to be found in the big library in the fourth city. Check it out."

Leo shook his head and said, "But the Fourth City Great Library needs to apply, and the waiting time is very long."

Cormier hesitated for a while, and then said: "My research on the Primordial Church is not particularly deep, and I only know a little bit of skin. If you want to know, I can also tell you, but I can't talk about it in vain, you There is a cost to pay.”

"Yes." Sylvia readily agreed.

Although Sylvia agreed, Cormier didn't seem to be at ease. He turned to look at Leo, and when he saw Leo nod, he showed a relieved look. This slightly discriminatory move made Sylvie A look of dissatisfaction appeared on Ya's face, but she didn't say much.

Afterwards, Cormier told Leo and the others what he knew about the Primitive Church, and Leo gradually sorted out a The complete primordial church form.

As mentioned in those fragments, the Primitive Church was indeed one of the earliest True God churches. At that time, there was not even a division of the True God Church or the Heretic Church, and all beliefs were primitive.

It's just that the Primordial Church is fundamentally different from other churches, that is, the Primordial Church does not have a **** of faith, or even an object of faith. The fundamental doctrine of their church is only one, and that is to find the original land. , because only when they find the original place, can they find their roots and transform themselves into the original ones closest to the gods.

The Church of the Primitives believes that there is a place in this world called the Primordial Land, which is the birthplace of all intelligent creatures in this world, the source of mankind, and the residence of the gods.

They believe that the ancestors of human beings were exiled from the original land by the gods for some reason. During the process of exile, human beings continued to degenerate. They want to find the original land, and believe that only by returning to the original land can they eliminate all the drawbacks caused by human degradation, and then make human life forms very close to the gods.

Leo and Sylvia on the side couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing this. They both thought of what was recorded in the Lucius scholar's notebook. In that notebook, it was recorded that the adventurers went to Having been to the Primordial Land, they were originally just a storage place for a treasure, and its name was somewhat similar to that of the Primordial Church. I did not expect the two to be so deeply involved.

Although Leo and Sylvia were full of doubts at the moment, they did not interrupt Cormier's narration, but continued to listen quietly.

Cormier then went on to talk about the development history after the Primitive Church. For example, the earliest writing in this world was invented by the Primordial Church. It is said that the person who invented the earliest writing was created by referring to some kind of divine script in the Primordial Land, so The earliest church, whether it was the Church of the True God or the heretical church, the texts they originally used to write their books were the texts invented by the Primitive Church.

It is also for this reason that when the split between the Church of True God and the Church of Heresy began to appear in the Primitive Church, the Primordial Church, a special church with no object of faith, was not classified as a heresy, but was placed in the ranks of the Church of True God.

When talking about this, Cormier stopped, and Sylvia couldn't help but ask: "What happened later? Why did the Primordial Church disappear again, and all traces of its existence were erased by the Church of True God. UU Reading www.uukanshu .com or even transcripts considered taboo?"

"I also really want to know what happened next," Cormier shook his head, sighed, and said, "Unfortunately, the relevant information can only be read by the mentor who has issued the oath of secrecy." After speaking, he paused again, Said: "Even if you can get the right to read in the Fourth City Great Library, don't hold out your hopes."

"Why?" Leo asked.

"I remember that four years ago, there was a robbery in the Great Library of the Fourth City. The thieves stole several very important and dangerous banned books. The library management department wanted to avoid other more precious and dangerous banned books from being stolen. Let's go, most of the most important banned books have been sent to the great library in the fifth city, and are guarded by secret keepers."

Bohr said with a look of surprise: "What? There was a theft in the Fourth City Great Library, why didn't I know?"

"You hadn't come to Xuecheng at that time, how could you possibly know about it, and after this happened, Xuecheng completely blocked the news, let alone you, no more than thirty people in the whole Xuecheng knew about it. ." Cormier glanced at Bol and continued to say to Leo and Sylvia: "If the information you are looking for is in it, I am afraid it will be difficult to access these books by applying for such methods. According to According to the rules of the Academy, only those who have made special contributions to the Academy are eligible to read the forbidden books guarded by the Secret Keepers."
