The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"The Dean!"

"The Dean is here!"

"Great, those guys should get out of here!"

"Will the dean also..."

"Shut up! What are you talking nonsense, the dean is with us."

Not long after the fundamentalists entered the office of Professor Ronco Byronville, a commotion suddenly spread outside the teacher's office building, and the crowd blocking the back spontaneously gave way to the road.

Later, I saw an old man wearing a robe of the Spirit of Knowledge walked into the office building surrounded by several church priests, and under the gaze of everyone, walked towards the office of Ronco Byronville upstairs. go.

This old man is the dean of the Holy Prayer House and College in Cape West End, the saint tutor of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, Satos Gilman, and the highest faculty member in the entire Cape West End area.

In this old continent where gods dominate, the main reason why various colleges can be opened and maintained in various countries and cities is the maintenance of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge.

The spirit of knowledge is an extremely ancient god. It is said to be one of the first gods to come into contact with humans, and his attitude towards humans is extremely kind. In the barbaric period recorded in some church books, foolish humans gained the spirit of knowledge. Enlightenment was able to unlock wisdom, and gradually established kingdoms and civilizations.

And the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is very special. They don’t care about spreading the doctrine or whether the believers’ faith is pious. They only value the spread of knowledge. The scope and quality of knowledge spread determines the position of the church clergy and how much knowledge they can get. The favor of the spirit.

The clergy of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge are not priests, priests, etc., like other churches. They are all mentors. Low-level mentors will be called corresponding mentors according to the difference in imparting knowledge. For example, the mentor who imparts agricultural knowledge is called Agricultural tutors, those who teach machinery manufacturing are called mechanical tutors. Only higher tutors will be awarded ribbons of different colors, and their status in the church is determined according to the different colors of the ribbons.

Among the many teachers of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, the Holy Teacher has the highest status, and his status is equivalent to the archbishop of each church, but the actual status and power are higher than that of the Archbishop, and sometimes the power held by the Holy Teacher is equivalent to that of the archbishop. The highest pope of a certain church.

The number of sage teachers in the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is not fixed. To become a sage teacher is not to be promoted from the ribbon teachers below, but to look at the favor of the spirit of knowledge. Only the mentor who obtains the enlightenment of the spirit of knowledge and opens up the temple of knowledge Only qualified to become a sacred teacher, that is to say, even the lowest-ranking mentor, if because of a certain act of spreading knowledge, he is blessed by the spirit of knowledge and grants him the holy revelation to open up the temple of knowledge. The clergy status of the mentor in the church will also be directly promoted from the lowest level to the highest level.

In the past teaching history of the Spirit of Knowledge, there have been countless examples of soaring to the sky, and there have even been examples of newly recruited tutors and apprentices transforming into saint tutors overnight.

Although it seems that it is easy to become a holy teacher, you only need to win the favor of the spirit of knowledge, but in fact it is very difficult to become a holy teacher. For most of the time, the church of the spirit of knowledge is in a state where there is no holy teacher. The situation where four mentors appear in the Spirit of Knowledge church at the same time has never happened in the past, so many people think that the Spirit of Knowledge Church in this period is the strongest period.

Although the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge does not use mission as its purpose, nor does it deliberately develop believers, or even allow its own believers to believe in other gods, this does not mean that the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge has less power and influence than other churches. In fact, the whole Among the churches in the world, there are only a handful of churches that can rival the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge in terms of influence, but the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge never takes advantage of these powers and influences, so it looks very inconspicuous in the eyes of outsiders. , Is no different from an ordinary small church.

It is also this kind of common people’s view and mentality that made the saint tutor of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, Satos Gilman, come to Cape West Wangyang, a border area far from the center of the civilization of the old continent, to serve as the dean of the Temple of Prayer and When the dean of the academy, the management and the people of Cape Western Cape just thought it was just a simple job transfer. They didn’t understand what an incredible thing this was, and they didn’t even know how this matter was in each place. How much attention has been drawn among the churches.

Although Sartos Gilman came to Cape Westminster in just five years, he has already become the most respected clergyman in Cape Westminster by virtue of his personal charm and style of conduct. The anti-church underground organization did not show any dissatisfaction or hostility towards him.

It’s just that some sane people also know that no matter how close Sartos Gilman is to the people and how much he values ​​the spread of knowledge, he is still a clergy member of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, and what he values ​​most is the sacred status of the Spirit of Knowledge. , And the content of Professor Ronco Byronville’s public class also just denied that the spirit of knowledge is the most important doctrine of human wisdom enlightenment, so when Sartos Gilman appeared,

There are also many students who think that the other party is just like the fundamentalists who came to ask questions.

Contrary to the opinions of those students, Leo and Sylvia knew that before Sartos Gilman appeared near the office building, the other party was not here to question the content of the open class, because they could clearly feel Sarto. The gods and powers of Si Gilman are very peaceful, without a hint of irritation.

So when the people around showed nervous and worried emotions, the calm attitude of the two of them seemed a bit abrupt, so that when Sartos Gilman passed them upstairs, he couldn't help but glance at them. It's just that Leo and Sylvia have perfectly converged their extraordinary powers, and he didn't see any clues.

On the contrary, Leo and Sylvia discovered some interesting things from each other's entourage, and because of this, they had some conjectures about the Holy Master of the Spirit of Knowledge.

As for the reason for the two people’s suspicion, they found the middle-aged man who was connected to Hareza and took the box in the priest’s entourage. Although the middle-aged man changed his clothes, Some of the disguise on his face was also wiped off, but Leo and Sylvia were still able to recognize him easily.

From the appearance of this person in Sartos Gilman’s entourage, we can see how close he and Sartos Gilman are, and that people like Sartos Gilman are also It is absolutely impossible to fail to see the hidden identity of the other party, but even if he still treats him as a cron, then there is only one possibility. This holy teacher is also a member of the secret organization that masters the technology of producing and implanting alien **** cells. , And is a high-status member.

If you think about it, this is perfectly justified. A secret organization with such a powerful technology and deep foundation is not known to outsiders, and ordinary people don’t know it. Even the church doesn’t know the existence of such a secret organization. Obviously, there is a powerful force covering this organization, completely covering up the traces of its existence, and there are not many churches in the whole world that have this ability, and the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is just one of them.

After discovering this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, then turned and walked out of the waiting line, went downstairs and left the teacher's office building.

The reason why they did not continue to wait is because they all felt that their original purpose had been achieved. They had discovered clues to this secret organization and the identity of suspected important members, not to mention that it is definitely not the best time to meet with them. , So there is no need to stay here to waste time.

After leaving the office building, Leo and Sylvia did not immediately return to the petting ship. Instead, they walked around the college campus, inquired about the address of Ronco Byronville in the city, and then went again. The Holy Prayer House, and the churches in the city, have a little understanding of the situation here.

What makes them interesting is that if the church is excluded, there are very few people with extraordinary powers in the city, totaling less than forty people, and most of them are on the foreign ships at the port and wharf, locally owned There are only eleven people with extraordinary powers.

In contrast, there are many people with extraordinary powers in the various churches in the city. Even the smallest churches have a dozen or so people with extraordinary powers, and this has not yet counted those who have received the gifts of gods and the magical arts of gods. If If you count it in, the final number will be very staggering.

Although the Port of Ocean Pointe is an important port city, the scale of the city is not very large. However, in such a small city, the number of transcendents with non-divine spirit systems far exceeds that of any large city in the New World. Ten times or even ten times.

It can be seen that in the special environment of the Old World, which is completely shrouded by the laws of gods and constantly affected by divine energy, ordinary people are particularly prone to produce extraordinary people, and the church seems to be consciously controlling the number of folk extraordinary people, and most of them are extraordinary. All will be included in the church and incorporated into the order of church knights.

The original sin knight seems to be the identity of such non-spiritual transcendents in the church, and the theory of original sin is also the difference between the churches in the old continent and the church in the new continent. content.

For this reason, Leo and Sylvia took a few church books related to the original sin theory in the sermons of different churches, and then compared them a little bit. They found that although each church has different views on the original sin theory, original sin The main dogma of the theory is the same.

The core content of the original sin theory is that everyone has original sin from birth, but the degree of original sin is different for each person, and those with deep original sin will have something different from ordinary people, that is, extraordinary power, only through the gods The method of atonement can wash away the original sin on the body.

Although, I don’t know who invented this theory of original sin, it is certain that the people who invented the theory of original sin must be very hostile to the transcendent, and the theory of original sin is in the interest of the church, which makes this argument become the mainstream argument of the church. one.

As for why the New World didn’t spread the theory of original sin, I’m afraid

I am afraid that it is also related to the special environment of the New World. If the theory of original sin is also spread in the New World, then the number of extraordinary people in the New World will be significantly less than that of the Old World, and this phenomenon is likely to directly lead to the emergence of another rumor, that is, the New World. It is a land of redemption, no matter how deep the original sin is, people who come to the New World will be redeemed and so on.

At that time, people in the Old Continent who believed in the original sin theory would try their best to run to the New Continent, and the situation in the entire Old Continent might be messed up.

The discovery of the Church’s original sin theory and the status quo of the transcendents in the Old World made Leo and Sylvia aware of a problem. If they analyzed and thought about the various situations and conditions in the Old World based on the relevant information they had obtained from various new continents before they came to the Old World If it does, there will be a lot of misjudgments, and this misjudgment may eventually lead to some fatal errors.

Fortunately, it is not too late for them to find out that this problem can be remedied, and now they think the best way to remedy it is to integrate into the social life of the Old Continent, so that they can understand the situation of the Old Continent as much as possible from the bottom of the society. .

As a result, the two who originally wanted to know a little bit about the church in the Old World wandered around the city like tourists. They spent a day wandering around all the places in the Port of Western Cape, and finally the gardens in the city were very close to the college. The district rented a small apartment and, by the way, obtained an ID for themselves, Joan and Petunia.

Just as they did, they decided to live in the Port of Western Cape for a period of time, and after getting acquainted with the social environment of the old continent and completely removing the traces of outsiders from their bodies, they could continue their planned itinerary.

After renting the apartment, the two returned to the pet, and then told Joanne and Petunia of their decision, and the two had no objection to it.

As for the captain of the petting ship, Heresa is even more pleased to see Leo and Sylvia made such a decision. After the transfer of the mysterious box is completed, they will do some illegal affairs related to smuggling. These things were really not suitable for other outsiders to be present. Before Leo and Sylvia returned to the ship, he was still discussing with his men how to persuade Leo and Sylvia to disembark.

So, without waiting for the next day, at the same night, Leo and the others had already packed their luggage, and under the watchful eyes of the crew of Petting, they left the pier, and Petting did not take long after they left, quickly. Completed the supply, set sail and left the Port of West Wangyangjiao.

In the early morning of the next day, the priest of the Holy Prayer House who had been handed over with Hareza hurriedly came to the pier with several original sin knights from the church and asked the pier for the docking position of the pet.

But when he learned that Petting had left overnight, his face became very ugly.
