The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Church of Purification Fire dealt with several disaster-affected principalities as Leo expected. One part was to transfer all the troops belonging to the five principalities on the battlefield to their respective countries and disband them for the people, and the other was to transfer people from other principalities. Fill the population vacancies in these principalities.

As for the positions of officials from various places in these duchies are temporarily held by the clergy of the church, and the successors of the dukes of the duchess are also being selected for suitable candidates, but the power, interests, and political tendencies involved here. It is too complicated. The candidates are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the church has consciously delayed time. Therefore, within a year or two, the final ownership of these principalities may hardly be fruitful.

The armies transferred back from the Principality of the Church were disbanded at the first time, and they were sent back to various cities by the chariot arranged by the church. When they saw that all their families were gone and their homes were destroyed, they were all in grief. Desperate, fortunately, the church has long anticipated this. When using church methods to soothe the emotions of these people, it also gives these people a lot of promises, such as funding for them to rebuild their homes, for example, they will find them from other places. New wives, new families, etc., temporarily calmed down these people's emotions.

On the other side, Penistan has been crying for the whole afternoon. Leo has never faced this situation before, so he can only give her to Sylvia to take care of her, and he goes to the Purification Fire, who has just served as a temporary administrative officer in the city. The priest of the church wants him to issue a pass.

At noon, the first batch of townspeople recruited to join the army in the town where Petistan was located had returned to the town. From these people, she learned that her father had died on the first day of the battle. On the battlefield, he was not killed by the enemy’s attack, but when he was carrying logistical materials, he stepped on the air, and when he fell, he waved his hands wildly, grabbing the rope slip knot used to bind the materials, and finally led to the rope tied to the car. The materials tilted down and were eventually crushed to death by a large amount of materials.

I have to say that this was a big blow to Petistan. When her father was recruited to join the army, she was already mentally prepared for her father to die in battle one day, so her father’s death made her sad. But it was not enough to make her sad to emotional breakdown. What really made her emotional breakdown was that she felt that her father was too worthless. She didn't even kill an enemy and died because of an accident.

According to the doctrine of the fire of purification, this method of death is absolutely impossible to become the heroic spirit in front of the seat of God. It will only become the firewood at the bottom of the fire of purification, and will eventually be completely burned to ashes by the flame and disappear between the heaven and the earth.

For some extremely pious believers, it is a supreme honor to be able to become the firewood of purification, but Petistan does not think so now.

When Leo faced Penistan who was out of control and crying loudly, he did not ask the other party whether he was willing to leave with him untimely, because in his opinion, this is no longer necessary to ask, so when issuing a pass certificate, Leo also counted Penistan.

War, rat plagues and other reasons have led to the emergence of a large number of Ottoman spies and some heretical secret organizations that could not be on the table in the area controlled by the Purification Fire. All have implemented travel restrictions. One of the most important restrictions is that travel must have a pass issued by the church.

The travel mentioned here is not limited to the passage between the Principality of the Church, and even the passage between the towns and villages in the Principality of the Church requires a permit.

Although this method has caused great troubles for people in the areas where the rules are enforced, it has almost cut off the communication between these principalities and between various towns. Only merchants can walk on the road, but it targets spies and The effect of the heretical organization is extremely remarkable. Several related strongholds have been destroyed in succession, and as many as hundreds of spies and heretics have been caught.

If it were normal times, it would be impossible for Leo to go directly to the town government to find the temporary mayor to issue a pass. However, before leaving, the patriarch had instructed the clergy who took over as the temporary mayor of this town to let him Special attention was paid to Leo's various requirements. Although Leo's identity was not stated, it was enough to make this clergyman have various associations, so Leo was able to easily get three passes.

There is no difference between this kind of pass and ordinary documents, that is, a piece of paper with the name and function of the document is folded, and the name of the issuer is written on the side, and the name of the user is written on the same side. It looks very simple and seems very easy to copy .

But in fact, after Leo got the certificate, he could feel the power of the fire of purification on the holy emblem of the Church of Purification on the back of the certificate. This power is a sign of the authenticity of the certificate. Outsiders basically It is impossible to imitate it, unless it is a high-level clergyman like Leo who is not a church of Purification Fire, but can use the gods and magic arts that high-level clergy can use.

After getting the certificate, Leo did not go back immediately. Instead, he found a car dealership that was being rebuilt in the town and asked if there was a carriage to go to Yordel City.

Yordel City is a small city on the border of the Ruth Duchy. For a long time in the past, the ownership of this small city has moved back and forth between the Ruth Duchy and the adjacent Duchy. Finally, several decades ago, Lu The Principality of Sri Lanka seems to have received the support of an extremely powerful senior clergyman in the Fire of Purification, and finally obtained the ownership of the city of Yordel. This dispute over the ownership of the small city has only subsided, and it has not further evolved into a war. .

The reason. Such a small city will cause a fight between the two principalities. It is entirely because there is the largest silver mine in the New World near this small city. Since the first silver mine was discovered, only a small part of the silver mine on the mountain has been mined until now. Most of the silver mines are still hidden underground.

Yordel City is basically the same as most cities near mines. At first, its builders were miners, and later they became merchants who provided various services to miners. Later, they gradually became small towns. The administrative agency of Ruth has now become the most prosperous city in the Duchy of Ruth.

Also in order to make it easier to transport the mined silver ore, Yordel City built a very spacious and strong road from the beginning, this road leads directly to the nearest port of Bykov, but later with the appearance of the steam train , The mine owners felt that this device could transport ore in a faster and cheaper way, so they jointly raised funds to build a railway to Nice.

Leo’s idea is to take a train to Yordel City. After arriving in Nice, he will use Nice City as the transportation hub of the central map of the New World to transfer to the port of St. Pelia, and then take a transoceanic ship to the Old Continent.

It’s just a good idea, and the plan can’t keep up with the changes. The rat tide destroys not only humans, but also all animals. The horses in the car dealership just like people have no time to escape. They all died in the rat tide, only one. The carriage is still well preserved.

The person in charge of the inventory of the car dealer’s heritage suggested that Leo take a boat to take the waterway from the Yadi Ancient Canal to Tissan. There is a church set up in the Ruth Duchy’s material distribution center, and there should be a special trip to the city of Yordel. Carriage.

Leo followed the advice and went to the Yardigou Canal Pier in the outskirts. At this time, all kinds of materials transported by the church were transported from Tissan through this canal. All transport ships were used by the church. The ships of the dead local people were also confiscated and requisitioned by the church.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to board these ships, but when Leo showed the pass and the **** of purification fire, the original difficult things became very simple, and the clergy in charge of the wharf immediately transported them. A copy of the boat trip table was sent to Leo, stating that as long as Leo wants to board, he only needs to check the departure time of the fleet returning to Yordel City on the timetable and come to the pier to board the boat.

After finishing all these chores, Leo returned to the town’s residence. At this time, Petistan seemed to be relieved from her sadness, and her relationship with Sylvia seemed to have become much closer. , Unlike the previous period of time, there was always a gap.

Leo didn't ask what happened after he left. He just walked up to Penistan and asked: "Do you need to make a decision now? Are you going to stay here or leave with us?"

Petistan was silent for a moment and asked, "Where are we going if we leave?"

"Go to the Old World." Leo replied.

After hearing this, Penistan was stunned. She originally expected that after Leo and Sylvia left, they might just walk around a few countries around them. A little bit further, they might go to some countries in the north, but she never thought of it. Leo and Sylvia's purpose is to travel to the Old World.

In her mind, the Old World is just a very vague concept. She just knows that the people in the New World are all from the Old World. The Old World is very conservative, outdated, ignorant, and very chaotic. The sages of the countries in the New World cannot tolerate the Old World. The chaotic and evil actions of those conservative countries will lead the oppressed people to embark on a great migration and settle in the New World.

So in Petunia’s impression, the Old World is almost synonymous with evil, chaos, and conservative, but now she knows from her teacher that the other party’s destination is the Old World, which makes her wonder what to do. answer.

Seeing that Penistan hadn't given an answer for a long time, Leo thought that the other party might not want to leave with him, and said: "If you plan to stay, then I will give you the follow-up training method of psionics in these two days. You can explore and train on your own, and what you can achieve in the end is up to you."

Sylvia on the side seemed to see Penistan’s current state, reached out and patted Leo’s shoulder, and said: “I think she needs some time to think about it. It’s not that she wants to stay. Let’s let She stayed alone for a while and let her think about it seriously."

After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo nodded, and then led Sylvia out of the house to a small hill not far away.

Sylvia found a piece of grass to sit down, patted the grass next to him, motioned Leo to sit down too, and asked with some confusion: "I haven't quite understood it all this time, why do you suddenly want I have accepted a student, which seems to be very different from your usual thoughts."

"Because I knew from the Kalita Demon that I might be the last psionicist in this world, but at this time a person with a high psionic talent appeared. There seems to be an arrangement in the dark. I just Just follow the arrangements of fate." Leo explained seriously, then sighed again, and said: "In addition, I also want to leave something, something that can prove how great the universe once was. Psionic energy. This special power is naturally the most suitable proof."

Sylvia didn't say anything, but just leaned against Leo and watched the sun slowly sink.

Petistan didn't think for too long. After nightfall, she found Leo and expressed her willingness to go to the Old World with Leo.

In this regard, Leo didn't have any special emotions, and behaved very ordinary, as if Penistan was just a local specialty he took away with him.

After Penistan made the decision, Leo didn’t need to stay here any longer. That evening, he cleaned up with Sylvia and Petunia and went to the nearby Yadi Ancient Canal Pier. Under the arrangement, the three people boarded the transport fleet to Yordel City in the middle of the night.

On the evening of this day, a message was passed from the Rusian Duchy to the main chapel of the Purifying Fire Church of the Holy Lord, and this news was sealed by special magic, and only the pope could see it, and the pope After seeing this news, made a shocking news.

That is to order the commander-in-chief of the Frontline Purification Fire Heresy Expeditionary Force to immediately stop the war, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com to gather the troops, and to negotiate an armistice agreement with the Otter Federation, requiring them to be held in October regardless of whether the final armistice agreement is reached or not. Within days, all the troops were withdrawn to the nearest Principality controlled by the Church of Purification Fire.

This message was not sent to the frontline in a secret copy, but was sent directly through the channel of the Church Alliance, which means that at the same time this order was issued, all the church countries that crusade against the Haute Federation knew that the Church of Purification Fire Retired.

This news is undoubtedly bad news for the Church Alliance. Although the Expeditionary Army of the Purification Fire Church does not occupy a large proportion of the Church Alliance’s army, the Purification Fire clergy is an important logistics for the Church Alliance Army.

Because not every church has a large number of priests who can perform divine arts like the Church of Purification Fire, and the divine arts performed by these clergy are all divine arts that are extremely important to the morale of the army, such as boosting the morale of soldiers on the front battlefield. Shining techniques, such as purification techniques that can treat the wounded, etc., the withdrawal of these clergy will definitely cause the overall morale of the coalition forces to drop drastically.

Since then, envoys from various church countries rushed to the Holy Lord's Kingdom to inquire about the reason for the decision made by the Pope of Purification Fire, and see if the Pope can withdraw this order.
