The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1595: church of war

Luning van Bartel stood on a collapsed stone pillar and looked at other senior clerics of the Church of True God who were discussing how to dig underground buried ruins. An inexplicable sense of irritability emerged from the depths of his heart. , making him have the urge to destroy everything in front of him.

No wonder he was so emotional, because he had been in this boring, **** place for two full months, and not only did they not make any progress in these two months, they even had a unified digging method. Eucalyptus did not come out.

Originally, they were going to take advantage of the opportunity of Protector Barbarisa to take his wife and children on a trip. Unknowingly, they dug up the buried things in the original sacred place and brought them back to their respective churches. Now that Barbarisa has been back for a long time, their excavation operation is still in the plan, which makes Lu Ning have more than once in his mind the idea of ​​killing all these guys and excavating the ruins by himself.

It's a pity that his strength does not allow him to do this, otherwise he would have already started.

Now he is already suspecting that he will be dispatched to this excavation mission, which is likely to be a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the archbishop.

As one of the twelve war priests of the Church of War, Lunin has long been considered one of the right-hand men of the Archbishop of Maysville and his biggest supporter of becoming the Pope of the Church of War.

Zhan Church can be said to be one of the oldest churches on the mainland, but as the Church of True God, it is very young, only less than two hundred years old. Before that, it had always been an underground church in various countries in the mainland. At the worst of times, they were even treated as a heretical cult by the Church of True God.

It is precisely because the situation in the past was very bad that it could be destroyed at any time due to the siege of various heretic hunter organizations or the Inquisition of the True God, so the Church of War did not have a unified leader for a long time in the past, such as the Pope and the Pope. Similarly, the rights within the church are held by the three war archbishops, who also represent the three stages of the beginning, progress and end of the war. After the siege, it can still exist in the world and develop smoothly, because as long as there is a war archbishop still alive, then the war church will not be destroyed.

The Middle Kingdom is the region with the most wars in the entire continent, and the War Church takes it as their main parish for granted, and their teachings are also very popular in this war-torn region. The number of people is numerous, and even for a period of time, the Church of War can claim that the entire Middle Kingdom region is a believer of the Church of War. Although this is an exaggeration, it is not far from the truth.

It is precisely because of Zhan Church's tenacious viability and strong missionary ability that True God Church gradually changed its attitude towards Zhan Church, and finally carried out a series of religious reforms in Zhan Church two hundred years ago. The cruel and tyrannical part of the teachings, after improving some **** sacrifice rituals, the Church of the True God accepted it as one of them, thus allowing the Church of War to preach publicly.

After more than 200 years of safe missionary period, the war church gradually discovered some drawbacks of the religious reform. For example, most of the deleted teachings were the most demagogic content in the war church's teachings. Losing this part Doctrine, in the process of preaching, the War Church has added a lot of believers, but those are only pan-believers, not true believers. After all, no normal person regards war as a belief, and there are very few mad believers. It is far from the large number of fanatics willing to be martyred for the church as in the past when it was still an underground church.

In addition, the three bishops system, which originally helped the war church to survive the crises of annihilation in the period of the underground church, has disappeared after entering the period of peaceful preaching, but its disadvantages have become more and more obvious. The obvious disadvantage is that the church is divided.

The three archbishops have equal status, all have mastered a canon of the church, and all have their own unique understanding of the doctrine of war. But as more than two hundred years passed, the rift within the church became bigger and bigger, and some other churches that had a hostile relationship with the Zhan Church also took the opportunity to provoke, making the internal structure of the Zhan Church even more fragmented.

Although Zhan Church is now the church with the fastest growth momentum, the widest number of believers, and the largest number of dioceses among all the True God churches in the Old World, these are only superficial.

In this regard, both the three archbishops and the subordinate twelve war priests are all very clear about the situation, and are willing to abandon their previous suspicions and improve the internal situation of the church, but they feel that they want to completely eliminate the disadvantages brought by the three bishops. The solution is to elect a pope who belongs to the Church of War.

Although the official members of the church are all qualified to become the Pope of the War Church, in fact, there are only three archbishops who are really qualified to be the Pope. In the hands of the archbishop was the catechism that represented the outcome of the war.

However, there is one very important thing to do before the Pope is elected, and that is to make the **** of war and riots believed in by the Church of War a real god, not a false god.

The **** of war and riots has always had many believers, because the wars and riots in the old continent never stopped at the moment when civilization appeared. People who have been in war for a long time will more or less choose to believe in war and riots. The **** of riots, so if the number of believers is to be used as a comparison of the strength of the gods, then the **** of war and riots is definitely the most powerful **** in the world.

But in fact, the God of War and Riot, whether in the period of the underground church or the current period of the True God Church, has always been in a state of embarrassment in terms of status and power. Among the many gods, she is neither a The strongest is not the weakest.

The reason for this is entirely because the **** of war and riots has always been a false **** from the moment he appeared, or a demigod that is closer to a god. This situation is not an isolated case. Most of the gods are like this, and the only drawback of this pseudo-god state is that they leave the parish, their power will be greatly weakened, and the number and quality of believers also determine their strength, once the church When their power is weakened, their own power is also weakened. Unlike true gods such as justice, the strength of the church has little effect on them.

Therefore, when the church began to decide to choose a pope leader, the **** of war and riots issued an oracle, that is, any one of the three archbishops can find an artifact containing the laws of world war, who will You can directly become the Pope and get her blessings.

Also because of this oracle, all the factions of the Church of War, under the command of their respective archbishops, went all over the world to find artifacts with the laws of war. Although they did find some legendary artifacts in the process, these Not to mention the artifact contains the laws of war, not even the ordinary laws of the world.

This was the case until half a year ago, when a scholar who compiled the history of continental warfare for the Church of War found a clue when studying the history of the Middle Kingdom, that the primordial **** born in the Middle Kingdom had the world's laws of war. .

After discovering this clue, the scholar died suddenly. Although the cause of death was said to be an accident, only a few people knew what it was actually.

The death of the scholar did not cause any movement within the War Plus Conference. On the contrary, the clue provided by the scholar attracted the attention of many people. So after a series of investigations, someone from the Maysville faction where Lu Ning belonged to a book from a book. In very old books, it was found that the relics of the original **** were buried under the sacred place of primordial near the territory of Barbarisa, which most likely contains the laws of war of the world, because according to the information they found, Among the relics is a weapon used by the original **** to fight, and this weapon contains a very high probability of the law of world war.

At that time, Lu Ning, who was expanding the influence of the believers for Archbishop Maysville, was temporarily transferred to the excavation of the original sanctuary, because it was very important to Archbishop Maysville, and Lu Ning was his most trusted subordinate. Only in the hands of Lu Ning will the Archbishop of Maysville be reassured.

After Lu Ning took over, he found that he was not the only one staring at the ruins of the original sacred place. There were also several True God Churches who were eyeing the original God relics that were banned in the ruins, and several of them had united. Get up and send someone to the sanctuary together.

For this reason, Lu Ning had to pay some price to join the alliance of several True God Churches, and to represent the only participant representative of the War Church, in order to prevent the possibility of the other two archbishops crossing in.

Originally, Lu Ning felt that this excavation mission was a very simple matter, because they knew in advance that there was a ruin of the sanctuary of the original **** buried under the sanctuary, and Barbary, the protector of the state who had absolute control over this generation Sa is not in his territory, as long as they don't make too much noise when they dig, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, the excavation work is still in the discussion stage, and there is no progress, causing Lu Ning to be suspicious and always feel that something is wrong.

As for why the excavation work has been stagnant, it is still under discussion, mainly because they found that they could not destroy the forbidden power imposed by the builders of the ground sanctuary ruins in those forbidden places, and even several people were trying to forcibly destroy those places. When they were on the foundation, some unexpected accidents happened to them.

And more importantly, with the return of Protector Barbarisa, his attention to the original sanctuary has increased a lot, forcing them, the senior clergy of the True God Church, to disguise themselves as workers to avoid Barbary Sa's eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, Lu Ning was a little angry. He really couldn't understand why they, the senior clergy of the church, were afraid of the Protector Barbarisa? Is it simply because of its sainthood? In his opinion, as long as they, the Church of True God, unite and put pressure on the Protector Barbarisa, let alone dig up the remains of the sanctuary, even if the Protector Barbarisa sends someone to help them dig out those banned Relics are not a problem either.

It's a pity that after he put forward the suggestion to put pressure on Barbarisa, he was only ridiculed by other senior clergy of the church, and the eyes that looked at him in the next few days seemed to be looking at an ignorant person, which made him even more He became annoyed and became more and more aloof, so much that he didn't even think about getting involved when discussing how to deal with the power contained in those foundation stones.

"This is..." Just as Lu Ning looked at the group of wastes who were still doing useless work in front of him, he was ready to start anew, and when he was doing it alone, a force that resonated with the divine power of war in his body suddenly appeared in the other side of the sanctuary. spread out.

Feeling that the abnormal Lu Ning did not look on his face, he quietly left before the people in other churches noticed him, and walked in the direction where the resonance power was transmitted, and soon he came to that place, and the resonance The power also disappeared at this time.

This is one of the five foundation stones they found that contained various divine powers. It is speculated that these foundation stones were used to seal the relics of the original **** in the ruins buried underground, but because of the influence of the divine power contained in the foundation stones, they could not Determine what the banned relic below is.

However, before Lu Ning digs the foundation stone, he can be sure that the forbidden relic under this foundation stone should be the weapon of the God of primordial that he is looking for, because the resonance power just now is clearly caused by the world's laws of war The resonant response of , is the revelation and guidance of the God of war and riot.

It seemed to him that the **** of war and riots had been extremely dissatisfied with their digging behavior that had been delayed for several months. When the time comes, give divine revelation so that he can know where he should start digging.

"Break away this blocking stone directly with divine art." Lu Ning, who thought that he had been enlightened by the divine spirit, didn't think any more, and became bolder. He was not going to delay any longer, and decided to use the strongest means immediately. , smashed the foundation stone in front of him, and took away the things under the stone. As for what kind of movement would happen, he didn't care about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to walk to the foundation stone and start to perform his best war magic technique, which is a magic technique specially used to siege cities. Smash any block, and this block naturally includes the foundation stone below.

But just when he performed the magic, the divine power generated by the various mysterious runes in the foundation stone instantly poured out, wrapping it up like a raging fire, and it burned to ashes before he could react. do.
