Mysteries: Arcana Wars

26

Klein put on his hat and put on his business smile again. The miracle magician followed the crowd into the Harvest Church Museum. A feeling of vitality surged in his heart, and he suddenly felt full of strength.

Even though it was split into two for various complicated reasons, as a thousand-year-old antique building, in the museum part, the Kingdom of Loen still gave the Harvest Church due respect and care - it was more of a "treasure of human civilization." It was a treasure that was shelved, an antique for research and appreciation, and its former church attributes and sacred symbols were gradually weakened by "regulations" over the past century.

But Klein didn't believe that the Auguston royal family could "clean up" the Harvest Church, which had stood for a thousand years in Backlund. As an extraordinary force that dominated Feynaport, the Church of the Mother Earth must have left some arrangements in its own church that were difficult to eradicate.

The remaining Church of the Earth forces in Backlund must be operating tenaciously and with difficulty under the shell of the hospital, but Klein is still unclear whether they will have the support of the vampires after this.

Look at this room full of glittering treasures! Klein believed that there must be several extraordinary items selected by the Auguston royal family, placed here to suppress the remaining forces of the Church of the Earth and other extraordinary means.

In recent years, the struggle between Rune and Feynaporte, and the struggle between secular forces and church forces, have all been vividly and exquisitely reflected in this weathered church.

This half of the museum is the gate and chapel of the Harvest Church. The space originally used for rituals is very ethereal and tall. Therefore, without destroying the original building, the church space has undergone some minimal functional transformation for the use of the museum, and several floors have been separated around the central exhibition hall to make it more suitable for exhibition needs.

Klein flipped through the directory at the door and immediately noticed that Emlyn's puppet was on display in the handicraft exhibition area on the second floor. Just as he was about to walk toward the stairs, a small golden triangular flag suddenly shot up over the crowd and appeared in Klein's sight.

"Zizizi - hello, hello, can you hear me?"

A familiar voice came out from the small loudspeaker, attracting the attention of a wave of tourists.

An aristocratic, blond-haired and blue-eyed boy waved a bright golden flag with great energy, while a valuable antique obsidian pendant dangled happily on his left ear.

It was the stupid son of the landlord at noon!

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, welcome to the Harvest Church Museum! I am the volunteer docent for this period, you can just call me Lynn. It's very close to Mr. Dodge Lamar's museum performance, you can wait in the exhibition hall. If you want to learn more about history and stories about the exhibits during this time, you can follow me to listen to the explanations in each exhibition hall."

"In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum is holding a special exhibition of Fifth Age artifacts. The special exhibition hall is located on the third floor. However, please note that our guides' activities will not be suspended because of Mr. Dodge Lamar's performance. If you miss a certain section of the explanation, I'm afraid you will need to wait patiently for the next guide."

Lynn's enthusiasm and sincerity immediately infected the tourists. He walked into the crowd holding a small flag and spotted the miracle magician in classical clothes at a glance. He happily waved the small flag to greet Klein.

"Ah! Hello, Mr. Merlin! You really came! I have to say, your Fifth Epoch-style performance costume is really suitable for today's special exhibition theme!"

After getting a nod from the magician, Lynn smiled even more happily. He held up a small flag, clipped a small microphone on his collar, walked in front of the crowd, and told those fascinating stories seriously and devotedly.

In stark contrast to the boy's immature face, Lin En really knew all these historical secrets by heart, and his interpretation was even more interesting. The originally dry and boring collection information became so interesting in Lin En's explanation that even Klein was fascinated.

The end of the nightmare announced the end of the Fifth Age, and the first silver moon rising from the ruins sounded the horn of the Sixth Age.

The steam technology that had been accumulated for a long time at the end of the Fifth Epoch developed rapidly under the Silver Moon, and the blood vessels of steam pipes spread all over Shellland in the blink of an eye. In the mist of steam, people shouted to build more and more factories. Metal pipes became the root system of Shellland, carrying the rolling hot steam to expand the spatial definition of the city underground.

When people were amazed at the power of the steam engine, the Mansteins, who symbolized the glory of the times, walked out of the steam fog of Shellland and stepped onto the historical stage made of steel in a high-profile and ostentatious manner. With the further improvement of the steam engine by Sir Manstein, the energy of boiling water was developed to the extreme. Then, Mrs. Manstein waved a crowbar, and the new generation of differential engine shattered the glasses of all scholars.

Then even more exaggerated airships rose from the sky above Loen, and bizarre machines beyond people's imagination spewed out hot white air and joined the factory production line. It seemed that the powerful steam engine could do anything in the world.

The excited little yellow flag waved in front of the display case on the left.

"The restored model you see now is the famous Manstein steam engine. This epoch-making steam-powered device provided sufficient power for subsequent super-large steam ships and steam airships. The flexible size of this mechanical structure also laid the foundation for the realization of subsequent small-scale precision mechanical equipment such as steam armor and steam backpacks. Thanks to Sir Manstein's great creativity, mankind obtained the first unimaginable huge power at the beginning of the Sixth Epoch, and since then human society has gained speed and strength."

Then Lynn extended his other hand toward the display case on the right.

"In the display case here, we present to you a restored model of the equally famous Manstein Difference Engine. This epoch-making Difference Engine not only overcomes the shortcomings of the original Difference Engine, which was bulky and slow, but also achieves operating efficiency that the academic community believed was absolutely impossible at the time, providing the core concept for the subsequent explosion of steam technology and even the birth of electrical machines. Praise Mrs. Manstein's amazing logic, which pointed out the first dazzling and brilliant path for mankind at the beginning of the new era, and from then on, human society gained wisdom and efficiency."

"But what is even more shocking is that the Mansteins combined these two great inventions together. The enthusiastic genius scientist couple gave the name 'Rama Manstein' to this amazing creation—"

Lynn clasped her hands together and everyone held their breath.

"The Rama steam analysis machine was born, bringing the dawn of a new era to the people after the 'end of the world' in the Fifth Epoch."
