The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who returned to the ship, stayed in his room, carefully sorting out the magic array of water storage from the fountain, and then made a few real objects from the existing materials, because it was the rune trap method. Therefore, there is a time limit when using it, and it will be invalid after a period of time. It needs to be reinfused with psionic energy to continue to use it. It cannot be continuously operated like the fountain.

When researching a thing, time passed quickly, and one night passed by unconsciously, and the passengers returned to the ship one after another, but there were more passengers besides the passengers who boarded the Port of Saite Also boarded this ship, and these passengers are very unusual, they are all cruise priests of the Church of Poseidon.

Most regular churches will have parade ceremonies, but the way of parade ceremonies is different. For example, the sky priest church will let the parade priest find a mountain peak, where he will practise the doctrine of the church, and sense the sky god’s spirit, The king of the hill will let the cruising priest find an abandoned mine hole, and like a miner enter the depth of the mine hole every day to dig the ore until the true meaning of the church is realized.

　　No matter what kind of church cruising ceremony is a kind of ascetic ritual, through the suffering of the right, open the transcendence of the soul.

However, there are exceptions to everything. The parade ritual of the Poseidon Church is an exception. For the parade priests of the Poseidon Church, their parade has nothing to do with asceticism. They only need to circle the various sea areas of the world. It doesn't matter whether you take a freighter or a premium cruise ship.

　　The early Poseidon church would also perform ascetic acts as other churches' parade rituals, such as hiding the priesthood of the Poseidon church, boarding an ordinary ship as an ordinary sailor, and even running as a pirate.

　　But when someone finds that the effect of the assault ritual completed by asceticism is not much different from the effect of the assault ritual not completed by asceticism, the parade of the Poseidon Church goes in another direction.

　　Every parade ceremony held by the Poseidon Church for priests is more like a public tourism event. The church funds the priests to buy tickets for luxury cruise ships, and other expenses on the road are all paid by the church, which is very comfortable.

It's just that the group of Poseidon priests boarding from Tinstus seems to be different from other Poseidon priests. Instead, they are more like the priests of other regular churches, wearing a stale The priest's robe, with his feet on his waist, used an old hemp rope as a belt, and he held a Poseidon scripture in his hand.

　　The moment these parade priests of the Poseidon Church boarded the ship, Leo in the cabin had already sensed the existence of these people. Not because they walked so much, but because the energy fluctuations emitted from them were very similar to the mysterious power that made Leo feel horrified in the temple, and it was difficult to let him not pay attention.

　　During the meal, Leo came to the restaurant on the ship. At this time, the cruising priests also dine here, but they ate very rude, just a piece of dry bread and a glass of water, which was no different from the bottom sailor.

　　 At this time, someone who knew the situation whispered to the companion next to them, "They should be from the Aminon sect."

　　Not far away from the table Leo heard this man's words, and soon remembered the relevant information about this sect.

　　If the Church of Poseidon is a heterogeneity of all churches in the Velon world, then the Aminon sect is a heterogeneity within the Church of Poseidon.

The person who founded this sect is called Aminon. He is not a great person in the Church of Poseidon. His position is always a ministry. According to the sacred rank of the church, he is not even a regular priest. He can only be a trainee priest. .

　　 He lived seventy-six years old. He was an orphan since his childhood and was adopted by the priests of the Church of Poseidon. After that, he spent 70 years in the church of the Church of Poseidon. He has no special merits in his life. According to the church, his greatest merit is that he paid for repairing the glass windows of his church, and there is no commendable work. The only thing left after his death is an unfinished copy. Sea sacred code.

However, it is such a talented ordinary trainee priest who has followed the ascetic principles of humility and poverty for seventy years. He has been barefooted in his life. Although he will not say any classics, he will not speak any truth, but he This practice of asceticism has been respected by some high-level leaders of the Poseidon Church, and these people have recorded the stories of Aminon, compiled them into a book, and spontaneously worshipped them as saints in the church.

　　 The reason why these high-level Poseidon churches have such behavior is mainly because the Poseidon church has been involved in the regime of the Inge Kingdom for a long time, and even some church members have served in the kingdom.

At the same time that the church has a strong influence on the kingdom, various bad practices in the kingdom also have a strong influence on the inside of the church. For a time, greed, lust, power struggles, and gains of various filthy things continue to occur inside the church. .

Seeing that the church is going to decay like this, some people of insight inside the church are naturally reluctant to see the church fall, but they can't find a suitable way to fight the decaying forces in the church, and the emergence of Aminon is just right Give these insightful people an opportunity and direction.

After using various methods to promote Aminon as a saint, they immediately used the life of Aminon as the sect's code of conduct, and created the ascetic sect within the Church of Poseidon. The members of the group gathered to form an extremely strong and solid force.

In the end, in the battles against the internal forces of the church, and the king’s royal family and parliament also hated the church’s involvement in secular things, with the cooperation of internal and external parties, the internal forces of the church were cleaned up again, and the church returned to the original pure Church status.

However, after the internal cleanup of the church was completed, the Aminon sect lost its core role. After all, not everyone is willing to practice ascetic life for a lifetime. A large number of sect members leave the sect and began to return to the normal church ceremonies. After that, the church did not tilt the resources of the Aminon sect again, so the Aminon sect declined. Except for a few stubborn believers, few people would join this sect.

Although there are not many people in this sect, the people of the entire Kingdom of England are very respectful of the members of this sect, so when these priests of the Aminon sect arrived at the restaurant, everyone behaved very calmly and even drank Soup's voice is much lower.

Leo is very interested in the mysterious power of these Aminon priests. Although this power makes him feel dangerous, it is not very strong. While eating in the restaurant, he tried to use the spiritual network to analyze this The composition of mysterious power.

It's a pity that this mysterious power is obviously not analyzed by his current spiritual net. Even if he tries hard to use the spiritual net, he can only barely sense the fluctuation of this power, and there is no way for other more detailed details.

　　However, for those Aminon priests themselves, Leo found some interesting places through the spiritual network. He discovered that the mysterious power was not generated by the Aminon priest, but came from the external force. Their body is immersed in this power all the year round, and it has inevitably been assimilated by this power, and some supernormal mutations have appeared in the body.

　　 For example, gill-like organs appeared behind the ears of these priests of Amino, just like Vasque. In addition, there were some scales and some tentacles hidden in the hair. Because of the cloak covered by the body, these changes did not attract the attention of others.

It stands to reason that the Aminon priest with these mutations in his body should be counted as a tribe of sea gods, but Leo can’t feel any unique energy fluctuations belonging to the clan from these people, and another Leo thinks that they are not a clan. The reason is that all the mutations on their body are the same.

　　The wizard high tower once had a detailed study of the clan, and compiled the research materials into a book, while Leiou read this clan research data. In this book, the Wizard of the High Tower first enumerates several common characteristics that all dependent families have. One of them has all the variants of the dependent families uncontrollable.

It’s okay if only one or two family members have the same mutation, but the problem is that the positions and shapes of the body mutations of these Aminon priests are all the same, so Leo judges that these are not family members, and their mutations may be different. A variation.

However, in any case, this mutation has brought extraordinary power to these Aminon priests. Although Leo is not clear what kind of power these mutant organs can give these Aminon priests, it can Surely the body muscle density of these Aminon priests is at least three times higher than that of ordinary people, that is, their physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and they are already extraordinary.

If it is a general priest cruising, it will not attract too much attention from Leo, but the Aminon priest cruising is very different, because the Aminon sect does not have a tradition of patrols, and some good people have counted each time. When the priest patrols, some inexplicable events will occur in various countries in the world, some are rights struggles, and some are natural disasters. In short, the priest Aminon began to patrol has almost become a harbinger for some people to recognize the advent of disasters.

Obviously, the passengers on this ship also knew that the priest Amino’s patrol was equal to the rumor of disaster, so when the priest Amino finished his meal and returned to the cabin on the lower deck, the restaurant immediately seemed to explode. Those who had dinner together almost invariably discussed what kind of disasters would happen around the world.

If it were before, Leo would not believe the rumors of such disaster prophecies, but after experiencing the incident in Turin City, he became particularly sensitive to disasters and other things, although he had not been able to see these through the spiritual sight just now. Aminon priest saw the thread of the net weaver, but he still could feel the breath of the big disaster that Lin Lincheng felt that day, but it was not as strong as Du Lincheng felt.

After confirming that these disasters will not come to himself or the ship where he is, Leo did not pay too much attention to these Aminon priests and returned to his cabin to continue to study various psionic potions and Turing roots. And rune magic circle.

　　The Queen of Ice and Snow followed the normal schedule. After docking in Tinstus for one night, she left the last port of the Inge Kingdom and walked towards the Pearl Island Chain in the southeast direction.

The passengers on the boat were still very excited in the first few days. The vast majority of people were sailing on ocean-going vessels for the first time, and they were still sailing. They were naturally curious about everything, and even some of the sailors on board taught them to tie ropes, Tied the rope.

　　However, even after a few days of repeated things, it would be boring. Everyone was too lazy to go to the deck. Instead, they stayed in a playroom specially opened in the lower cabin, playing cards, chatting, and passing the time.

　　The cards played by these passengers are a type of fighting animal handed down from Mosang mainland. Because they are simple and easy to understand, they quickly spread to replace the previously popular royal power and became a good thing for everyone to pass the time after tea and dinner.

There are a total of 80 cards in this set, and the rules are simple, that is, the strong eats the weak and the weak Ke Qiang. Even a ten-year-old child can easily play with two of them, but because this set of cards can be expanded to four when playing The set and gameplay will also change depending on the number of cards, so it is difficult to play well.

Just like most chess and card games, passengers on the ship will also bet on something when playing the beasts~www.readwn.com~, and those who can sit on this ice queen are rich but expensive, and There is no shortage of money, so most of the things they play bet on are valuables they carry with them.

Things like playing cards are sometimes very luck. Some people can even get a good card even if they don’t know how to play cards. Some people are good at playing games. They are regular customers at the table, but they are not lucky. Well, no matter how proficient, it is impossible to win opponents.

Among those who play poker, there is such a player with bad luck, or even a terrible table. From the time he took the table, he has nearly 60 hands. He has never won a game, and he has some good ones. The gadgets were all lost, and even a sterling silver cigarette case he had specially made was lost just now.

Kunstein took out the handkerchief in his chest pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead. His eyes were very unwilling to see a jewel hanging chain that was still placed in front of him. The fat traveler on the side received the pocket. I felt regret in my heart.

　　 He did not regret losing his things to others, but regretting that he had just made a mistake, and finally gave him the chance to lose the game.

　　 "Okay, don't play anymore! It's enough to play today." The travel merchant who won the chain is also the one who won the most among the many poker players present, said.

　　 "Slow down, I didn't lose!" Kunstein immediately stopped everyone.

　　Traveller looked at Kunstein with contempt, and said, "You already have no items to bet on, do you want to use money?"
