The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Lord Leo, what happened?" Hancock saw Leo's unusual performance, stepped forward, and asked suspiciously.

Leo shook his head and returned to the ignition room without saying anything.

I don’t know if it was to prove that Hancock’s suggestion for rest was correct. The black storm in the snowfield strengthened again, and the wind direction began to change to the north-south direction. A lot of biting cold winds drilled into the Blade’s Edge Canyon, because of the high mountains and cliffs on both sides. Due to the squeezing, the strong wind here is several times stronger than the snow field outside. A normal person can't even walk forward in such a strong wind and snow, even if he has a firm foothold.

Although the ignition room of the outpost has a fireplace and a bonfire is lit, there are too many gaps in the wall to block the cold wind outside, and the igniter, which is an important heat source, suddenly stops working, and the surface no longer emits heat , so that the indoor temperature dropped a lot.

For this level of cold, Leo had no problem at all, but Hancock couldn't. Even if he sat by the stove, he still felt cold in his hands and feet, and he felt numb.

Leo looked at Hancock and knew very well that if he continued like this, he didn't need to wait until tomorrow, Hancock would freeze to death tonight, so he stood up, went outside, brought back a lot of wood, and let the fireplace The bonfire burned more vigorously, and then walked over to the igniter and carefully checked the structure of the igniter.

This igniter was not taken seriously by Leo at first, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​taking it as his own, because the shape of this igniter did not seem to be anything special, it was just an enlarged version of the ignition device. Similar devices can be seen on some tools equipped with steam engines, but what really caught Leo's attention was that what was used as a fire source in this ignition device was not a common carbon stone, but a real energy block.

Leo just opened the casing of the igniter and saw the energy block, and quickly judged from its size and the color of the energy contained in the energy block that the energy block was a third-class energy block. In the long run, as long as the power consumption used is suitable, the energy consumption of the energy block itself can even be maintained for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The person who built this igniter should have a good understanding of the energy block application device inside, because all the heat conduction fins of the igniter are just attached to the heat conductors of the device, so that the surface of the igniter can emit light all the time. The thermal energy transferred from the thermal energy conductor of the device, as for the damage to the current thing, it is only that the thermal conductive sheet below is separated from the thermal energy conductor.

Leo, who found the reason, reattached the heat-conducting sheet tightly to the heat conductor, allowing the igniter's casing to emit heat again.

Hancock, who felt that the temperature in the room had risen a little, was also relieved, poured a mouthful of hot water into his stomach, and moved closer to the bonfire of the fireplace, looking like he wanted to put himself on the fire Baked like.

"Do you know who made this ignition device?" Leo casually sat aside and asked Hancock.

Although Leo asked, he never thought that he would know the answer from Hancock's mouth.

However, after listening to the question, Hancock immediately replied: "It should be Poirotstein."

"Porostam?" Leo felt a little familiar when he heard the name, thought for a moment, and asked with confirmation: "Is it Porost Weysky of the Seven Sages of the Spirit of Knowledge Church?"

"Yes, it's him." Hancock nodded and said: "In the cities in the polar mountains, you should be able to see more things made by Porosten. Those things are still being used by people here. It is also the reason why the polar mountains have the weakest rejection of the Spirit of Knowledge Church."

Among the early missionary priests of the Spirit of Knowledge Church, there were seven outstanding priests, who were canonized by the Church after their death. Later generations called them together as the Seven Sages, and Porosten Weysky was among the Seven Sages. It can be regarded as the most mysterious one. There are very few records related to it in the Spirit of Knowledge Church. I just know that he was born in the north. After he became a missionary, he has been walking around the continent as a magical craftsman, spreading knowledge. According to the teachings of the Spirit, the time and cause of his death have not been recorded, and it seems that the relevant information has been consciously destroyed.

"Has Borostam ever preached in the polar mountains?" Leo asked with some doubts, because the information in his memory did not mention the relevant content.

"It's more than preaching," Hancock said casually. "He even died here, and his body was eaten by others."

Leo was a little surprised by Hancock's answer, so he asked Hancock to go into more detail.

Maybe talking to people can distract and make him feel less cold, so Hancock didn't refuse Leo's request, drinking hot water while telling what he knew about Porosten.

From Hancock’s description, the deeds of Porostam are not a secret thing in the cities of the polar mountains. Almost everyone who lives here all the year round knows about Porostam, because the people in power here all put the What Rothstein did in the polar mountains back then has been edited into a variety of books, from formal biographies to collections of folk tales that mothers tell their children at the bedside.

However, no matter what kind of book it is, the image of Borosten is a villain with amazing wisdom but extremely evil. It is completely different from the sage in the relevant records of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge. No wonder the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is willing to empty it. He was unwilling to record what Porosten did in the polar mountains.

There is nothing special about Borostam's missionary experience in the polar mountains. Like other clerics sent or dispatched by the Church of the True God to preach in the polar mountains, he endured all the harassment from the city lords to the commoners in the polar mountains. Exclusion, while trying to spread the teachings of their own church.

Different from other churches, Borostam has used his wisdom to help cities in the polar mountains solve a lot of problems. He failed to successfully preach in the polar mountains, but he also had some prestige and status in various cities in the polar mountains.

However, it was later discovered that Porosten actually used the hospital he opened to do some mysterious experiments on patients who were going to be treated. Several of them died because of the failure of the experiment. Among the dead, there was the only one of a certain city lord. heirs.

As a result, Porostam changed from a respected wise and sage to an evil person who was shouted and beaten by everyone. At that time, people escorted Porostam to different cities in the polar mountains to be tortured, and finally he was executed on the Movit Road. After being executed, his body was eaten by the people at that time, and the name Porost became synonymous with evil in the polar mountains.

"Isn't it right?" After listening to Hancock's narration, Leo also showed more doubts on his face, and questioned: "If people in the polar mountains hate Borostam so much, they don't even hesitate to If he ate his corpse after death, then the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, who believed in Porosten, should also receive the same hatred, and it should not be the church that received the least resistance and rejection among all the churches of true God as it is now.”

In the face of Leo's doubts, Hancock was also stunned. He used to only listen to the events of Borostam as a folk tale, and never thought about whether it was reasonable or not. Now he listened to Leo's words. , he also felt that the story he told seemed really unreasonable.

Leo didn't wait for Hancock's answer, but continued talking like he was talking to himself: "And the charges against Porostam are unreasonable. If Porostam really opened a hospital, then he opened a hospital. The purpose is definitely not to want to use this place as a laboratory, it must be to make this place a missionary stronghold of the Spirit of Knowledge Church in disguise, so even if he wants to do mysterious experiments, he should not choose a hospital with special significance. Place, and the hospital is often visited by people, it is basically impossible to hide others by placing the laboratory here. With Porosten's prestige and status at the time, he could find another more secret place. As for the experiment The body can also find other people, and there is no need to find patients in the hospital, such as prisoners, slaves, etc., isn’t this safer?”

Hancock kept nodding his head while listening to Leo's analysis.

Leo still didn't stop, and continued to analyze: "The biggest loophole is the way of dealing with Porost. Even if Porost conducts experiments on patients, it should only be that the people in the cities that set up the hospital hate him. Yes, the relationship between the cities in the polar mountains is very complicated. People who are hated by these cities may become heroes when they go to other cities, but Porosten is punished in all the polar mountain cities. The execution at Mowett Road gives the impression that Porosten has offended the entire polar mountains, not just a few cities."

Hancock couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Lord Leo, why do you think Porosten died?"

Leo heard the words, shook his head, and said, "I don't know this either, but what I do know is that when Borostam was executed, the people in the cities of the polar mountains did not hate him as described in the story now, otherwise If so, all the tools and buildings that Borostam had made before should have been destroyed by this hatred and not still in use today."

Hancock put forward a different opinion: "These tools and buildings are very easy to use, even if they hate Poirotstein, they should not..."

Leo shook his head, interrupted the other party's rhetoric, and explained: "You said just now that Borostam was eaten by others after his death, so it can be judged that the hatred for Borostam at that time has completely lost its sense. , animal nature is greater than human nature. At this time, any rational judgment of gains and losses will not exist. All I can think of is to vent the anger brought by this hatred. Therefore, according to normal circumstances, Porostain's tools and buildings should definitely be destroyed, and it is impossible to survive. down."

Hancock no longer refuted after hearing this. He also felt that the death of this Borostam was a bit strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and just regarded it as a normal topic for chatting with Leo.

Leo, however, had a different idea, as the life of Porostam Weiski had already intrigued him.

Judging from the manufacturing process of this igniter, it is obvious that Porosten should have mastered the use and maintenance of a large number of technological equipment of the cosmic civilization. He can disassemble some equipment, and then reassemble it into what he needs. Become one of his tools in the molds he makes.

However, where did the knowledge of these cosmic civilization technologies come from, there is no record in their life records. One thing is absolutely certain that this knowledge definitely did not come from the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge. Otherwise, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge would have It will not be like this. They have mastered a lot of scientific and technological knowledge of cosmic civilization. They can create more powerful weapons and more magical tools. It is not difficult to become one of the top churches in the Church of True God.

As for the time when he was preaching in the South before coming to the polar regions, Porost should not have acquired this knowledge, because at that time Porost was not the only one who was preaching, and he also followed a lot of auxiliary priests and other entourages. The experience of time is also recorded in the Spirit of Knowledge Church in detail, and there is no omission.

Therefore, Leo judged that these technological knowledge of cosmic civilization should have been obtained by Borostan after he came to the polar regions, which also made Leo think of the mother-dwelling spaceship in Palm Rock.

He did not think that Porosten obtained the scientific and technological knowledge of cosmic civilization from that mother-dwelling ship, but felt that in the polar mountains, there must be other, or even a large number of, the remains of spaceships of cosmic civilization. There may be equipment like learning devices preserved in the remains. After all, it is not the first time that he has encountered such things as learning the technological knowledge of cosmic civilization from learning devices. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Looking back, it is not difficult to see from the materials recorded by the Spirit of Knowledge Church that before he went to preach in the polar mountains alone, he already had a very high reputation in the Spirit of Knowledge Church, and even started within the Spirit of Knowledge Church. Considering making Porostam the next Pope of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, and because of this, even if all the rumors about Porost from the polar mountains are evil, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge is still there. After his death, he was canonized and ranked as one of the sages, which shows how prestigious Borostam was in the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge at that time.

However, Porostam, who has such a bright future, put down everything and went to the polar mountains to preach alone, at least in name, which is obviously a bit abnormal. At least from Porostam's various records, it can be analyzed that this person is definitely not. That kind of fanatical missionary of the church, his actions are purposeful, and the purpose of his coming to the polar mountains may have been aimed at the remains of those cosmic civilizations.

Moreover, I don't know why when Leo thought of Porostam, he couldn't help but think of those brothers and sisters of Philolia, and Porostam Weiski, who he was vaguely gathering, was one of them.
