The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although it’s called a castle, it’s actually very different from the current Knight’s Castle in France. In terms of its overall shape, this castle is more like a city-state with a huge internal area, just like the desert city-state of the Savile Kingdom. almost.

However, the internal buildings are not low-rise bungalows, they are all very simple masonry houses, and there is nothing special in the shape. The only difference is that these houses have high and low, and more than a dozen There are three or four floors short, and all houses are spires at the top, looking like a minaret in the past.

　　Although all houses are the same, the identity of the owner of the house is high and low, and the identity of the owner of the house can not be distinguished from the height of the house, only from the uniform spire roof.

Those with high status will use more expensive materials to build the roof, and make their family badges and some legends into eaves reliefs around the roof, and the holy badge of the Mother of Dirty at the top of the roof will also use different materials. The difference between these materials is the difference between their identity.

　　 The material with the lowest identity is naturally the most common wood here, and the material with the highest identity is gold.

　　In the entire castle, among the thousands of houses, large and small, only the holy emblem on the top of the lord’s palace is made of gold.

　　 Although Lord Prodi is the most noble person in the whole Lyon, it is only for ordinary people. From the point that his government is not the center of the castle, it can be seen that the real power here is not him.

　　 The entire city-state is built around the altar of the mother of filth. The altar is not only the center of the castle, but also the tallest building in the city-state. The shape of this altar is also very strange.

The upper part of the altar is a common stepped tower structure, but the lower bracket structure is a group of irregular objects entangled together. In the distance, it looks like a bunch of twine, and the close painting looks more like a The snakes are intertwined, but unlike the snakes, there are no scales carved on the surface of this irregular building, but a thin layer of black oil flowing on it.

These black oil substances flow down the edge and fall into the pool below to form a pool of black oil, and these black oils seem to be endless, always flowing down constantly, and the pool also flows like a bottomless hole. No amount of black oil can increase the black oil in the pool by one point.

　　Because there are no religious ceremonies taking place, there are no people in the square around the altar, only some pious clan and clerics of the mother of defilement are doing things similar to prayer.

　　 Leo and Sylvia came to the edge of the square of the altar, they found a place to sit down, and then observed their surroundings and collected useful information.

With his extraordinary listening ability, Leo listened to the verses sung by specific clans in the surrounding families and clergy. Although the content of these verses was ambiguous for various reasons, he still collected and sorted them again and again, and soon Restored this piece to the scriptures.

Just like the prayer scriptures of most churches, the prayer scriptures of the Mother of Dirty are also full of praise to the mother of pollution, but in these worthless **** texts, some useful content is still hidden .

For example, in the first sentence of the prayer, the origin of the mother of filth is mentioned. This origin provides Leo with very useful information. It said that the mother of filth was originally the most dazzling light of the starry sky, and all the gods are creeping on her left. However, she saw that the world was shrouded in filth, so she felt compassion for all creatures in the world and voluntarily fell into the world, absorbing the filth of the world, allowing all creatures to multiply normally, but she was concentrated on the body because of the filth , Unable to fly up and return to the starry sky, only when all the dirt on her body disappeared, she could return to the starry sky and shine the gods.

　　 After removing those meaningless praises and boastful words in this prayer, the rest of the content mentioned two points. One point is the origin of the mother of filth.

　　 is different from the external research on the mother of filth. This prayer mentions that the mother of filth comes from the starry sky, and then falls into the filth, rather than from the abyss filth.

　　 In this regard, Leo believed in the content of the prayer even more, because he suspected that the mother of filth may also be an omega-level higher living body from the universe.

In addition, there are the strangeness of the power of the abyss in the family members they just discovered, which just proves that the origin of the mother of filth does not originate from the abyss, because no matter whether it is the abyss snake or the abyss dragon, these abyss products are subject to thunder The control of Europe and Sylvia will not change the nature of its chaotic and disorderly power, which is like their nature.

However, the power of the abyss in the family and clergy of the mother of filth is regular and orderly, which obviously does not meet the nature of the product of the abyss, but if the content of the prayer is brought in, the side of the mother of filth is defined As a foreigner in the abyss, then all this will make sense, even if the mother of filth can appear in places like the Black Forest.

　　In addition to the origin of the mother of filth was answered from the prayer, an important ceremony of the church of the mother of filth was also mentioned in the prayer, that is, to reduce the filth for the mother of filth, so that he could return to the starry sky.

　　 So no matter whether it is a clan, a clergy, or an ordinary believer, every time after reading a prayer, he will go to the pool full of black oil, grab the black oil in the pool and swallow it.

　　 Leo can feel that after drinking the black oil, there will be some abnormal reactions to the energy fluctuations on their bodies, but these reactions are very weak, and they quickly return to calm.

　　Sylvia did not know the content of the prayer words, and she could not feel that the energy fluctuations of her body showed a short-term abnormality after drinking the black oil. However, she still got some information from the conversations with the people around her.

"According to what I said just now, a group of captives were captured on the front, ready to be sent today to prepare for tomorrow's bright day." Sylvia barely understood the words of these people, and then whispered around Leo "Tomorrow there should be an sacrifice."

　　 "In this case, we will leave after watching the sacrifice tomorrow." Leo nodded his head, made a decision, and then told his discovery to Sylvia.

After hearing this, Sylvia couldn't help but fall into contemplation. After a while, she said: "If that is the case, then this dirty mother may really be a great deity, and he can become a first dynasty. At that time, the largest church was justified. After all, even in that chaotic period, it is difficult for the Evil God to become the largest church. After all, according to common sense, most believers will not be deadhearted. A belief that will kill them at any time. Religion and gods."

The two then stayed at the edge of the square for a while, and suddenly saw a few people hurried outside, and then crossed the black oil-filled pool and entered the altar. After a while, they saw several maggots. The senior clergyman climbed out of the altar, climbed over the pool and plaza, and moved towards the other exit of the castle.

Many people saw the maggots appear, and their emotions immediately became excited and fanatical. They all got up from the ground and followed the maggots. Leo and Sylvia didn’t plan to follow, but stayed in place. , Watching the maggots disappear with the vast majority of believers and clergy on the square around the corner of the road.

After a while, a noise came from that road, and then I saw the maggots wriggling in the front of the team and led the team slowly forward. During the process, the maggots all held high Holding the scepter in his hand, shaking in the air, chanting some verses in his mouth.

　　 In the middle of the team is a wooden platform that requires at least a hundred people to carry. On the platform is a **** statue, a goddess of pollution mother.

This goddess of defilement looks very weird. His lower body is maggot-like, covered with a layer of black oil, the upper body is a perfect female, and a pair of transparent wings grows on his back The pair of wings wrapped his body like a robe, and in his arms embraced a snake. The snake just hatched from the egg, and half of the body was in the egg.

"Is this the mother of filth?" Sylvia couldn't help saying when she saw the statue, "It's completely different from what I imagined, he seemed..." Then, she suddenly listened, and she was alert. Head, I did not go to see the idol of the mother of filth again, and reminded Leo: "Be careful, don't stare at the idol, that idol seems to affect the mind of the watcher."

Although Leo did not respond as much as Sylvia, he also turned his head and did not look at the idol again. As Sylvia said, when he saw the idol, a voice appeared immediately In his consciousness, this voice was saying nothing, he could not hear anything, but he felt that this voice was very nice, and there was an urge to listen forever.

　　 "Let's go! Let's leave here for a while and wait for the sacrifice to start." Leo put on the robes of the robe, gestured to Sylvia, and then turned around and left the square.

　　 The two soon found a hotel exclusively for foreigners. There were only two such hotels in the entire castle.

Tomorrow, because of the grand ceremony to worship the mother of filth, many believers of the mother of filth and those outside of Lyon are gathered here, making the hotel here overcrowded, and Leo and Sylvia Share a room with a dozen believers.

These believers do not seem to be here for the first time to participate in this kind of ritual ceremony, so they are not disgusted with the situation where more than a dozen people live in a room. They are very excited about tomorrow’s ritual ceremony. Can't help chatting with other people, Leo and Sylvia sat quietly in the corner of the room, listening to their conversation quietly, writing down the content of their conversation, and getting a lot of useful content from these contents data.

For example, the domain name they belong to is called Yuchi. It consists of a total of 19 territories. Lyon's domain is one of them. It is neither the largest nor the smallest. However, because there are several specialty wines here, it also makes It has become one of the richest territories of the filthy pond, and because of this ten full moons, the Lyon lord will hold a large ceremonial ceremony to show the respect and faith of the Lyon lord to the mother of filth.

Most of the sacrifices used for sacrifices were captured after the war in other regions. According to the content of the conversation, the filthy pond seems to be in contact with the other two regions, and the relationship with the other two regions is particularly poor. Wars often occur.

　　In addition to tomahawks, many of these sacrifices were also believers who offered sacrifices voluntarily.

　　 Almost all of these believers are old enough to die, but the body has not yet shown any variation. In the belief in the mother of filth here, only when the body is mutated can the true family of the mother of filth be able to return to the mother of filth after death, and those believers who have not become family members will be punished after death The Black Forest devoured and disappeared forever.

Therefore, some believers thought of a way to voluntarily become a sacrifice, to be one with the mother of filth~www.readwn.com~ Although it was also absorbed, it completely disappeared from this world, but compared to being The Black Forest has devoured it. For believers, serving a mother of filth is obviously more in line with their wishes.

In addition, although all the territories of the filthy pond believe in the mother of filth, they do not have a unified church. Basically, each territory is an independent small church of the filthy mother. The doctrine has its own understanding. When these filthy mother believers from different territories come together, the first thing they need to do is to have a big doctrine debate.

It is a pity that when Leo and Sylvia came, the doctrine debate in their room was over, otherwise, from the believer debates of these mothers of pollution, Leo could collect more about the mother of pollution data of.

　　 Finally, Leo and Sylvia also got some things about Lanxi in the conversation between these people.

When these believers mentioned Lanxi, their emotions were very strange. They all showed great disdain when they mentioned Lanxi’s belief in the mother of filth. They even described the belief in the mother of filth with the shame of faith. But they also It also showed obvious awe to Lanxi, and all the Lanxi people were called wise.

These believers are also curious about Leo and Sylvia, because the mutations on the two of them have never been seen before, and their clothes are different, but they do not regard them as Lanxi like old hunters. Here, because some of these people have been to Lanxi and know what Lanxi's clothes look like.

　　However, because Leo and Sylvia ignored their questions, they soon lost interest in them.
