The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1879 Oracle Savior

"Are you crazy? Savior?" The Victory Goddess pushed open the door of the Lantern Goddess's office with force, her face full of anger. She rushed to the desk in a few steps, bent down under great oppression, stared at the Lantern Goddess's priest, and rebuked her unceremoniously: "Who gave you the power to announce the existence of the Savior? Do you know what the consequences of your doing this are? What will the reaction be when the Holy City knows about it? I tell you, they will denounce you as a blasphemer and expel you from the order, and we will also be implicated by you. You must know that we are a trinity, and once we are punished, we will be punished together!"

The Goddess of Civilization also followed behind and walked into the office, but she stopped after entering the door, then turned around and ordered the other clergy who were attracted by the shouting to retreat immediately, and then asked the lantern monk who was collected at the door to stay away.

Originally, the head priest of the Goddess of Civilization could not only be a monk of the Goddess of Lanterns, but the serious expression of the Goddess of Civilization, who was known for her kindness, was too powerful at the moment. When her eyes swept over the crowd, the monks of the Goddess of Lanterns could not help but lower their heads and obeyed the order silently.

After giving orders to the monks, the Goddess of Civilization returned to the office, closed the door, and then said to the Goddess of Victory in a deep voice: "Your voice should be lowered. You don't want everyone in the temple to hear it, and then the whole city will know that the three goddesses are not in harmony, right?"

Hearing this, the head priest of the Goddess of Victory stood up straight, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, but the anger and dissatisfaction on his face did not decrease at all.

"You have to give us an explanation." The head priest of the Goddess of Civilization walked to the side of the head priest of the Goddess of Victory and expressed his attitude. Although this sentence was much simpler than what the head priest of the Goddess of Victory said just now, and the tone was much calmer, its deterrent power was stronger, and the atmosphere of the whole room solidified as the voice fell.

After the disaster, the Redemption Order established a shelter, gathered survivors, and rebuilt the city. It has become the only order in the world, with the perfect integration of political power and divine power.

Each shelter city will have three goddess priests sitting in charge, who represent the three goddesses of redemption respectively. The three priests also divide the religious power, political power and military power of a shelter city. The power they hold far exceeds any politician, soldier and clergy in the old times. Therefore, in order to prevent the priests from being corrupted by power, the Redemption Order has a complete set of supervision mechanisms for the three goddess priests in each city. In this supervision mechanism, the self-examination and self-examination of the three goddess priests is also an important part.

According to the supervision rules, as long as two goddess priests determine that a goddess priest has a problem with his thoughts, they can propose supervision rules, temporarily put him under house arrest, report to the Holy City, and the Holy City Tribunal will send people to investigate.

Obviously, the Lantern Goddess's behavior now made the other two priests feel extremely dissatisfied and doubted her force field, because the Savior has an extraordinary meaning in the Redemption Order. Generally speaking, it can only be the incarnation of the Lord of Redemption, that is, the Pope of the Redemption Order. Others, no matter how great their achievements are, can only be awarded the title of Saint, and it can only be awarded after death. Now the Lantern Goddess Priest unilaterally publicly promotes someone as the Savior without going through any necessary identification rules. This is undoubtedly an unforgivable blasphemy.

Now for the other two goddess priests, all they have to do is go through the process and let the Lantern Goddess Priest explain. Regardless of whether the other party's explanation is reasonable, they will touch all the duties of the Lantern Goddess Priest and hand over the final interrogation to the Holy City Tribunal.

Facing the two aggressive goddess priests, the Lantern Goddess Priest seemed very calm and motioned for the two to sit down. Seeing that the two had no intention of sitting down, she did not force them, but said seriously: "The savior was not appointed by me, but came from the oracle of the goddess."

"Oracle?" The face of the Civilization Goddess Priest became more and more ugly, and said: "You are really crazy. You dare to use the oracle to defend your blasphemous behavior. How dare you..."

Before the voice of the Civilization Goddess Priest fell, the Lantern Goddess Priest stood up, opened her arms, and recited the praise of the Lantern Goddess. At the moment when the prayer praise came out of her mouth, the surroundings dimmed instantly, and soon the darkness completely occupied the room. Then a lantern appeared behind the Lantern Goddess Priest, dispelling part of the surrounding darkness. After the goddess priests in the dark saw the flickering fire in the lantern, all kinds of negative emotions in their hearts instantly dissipated, and those positive emotions also burned vigorously like a bonfire.

"Light of hope!" The two goddess priests saw everything in front of them, felt the changes in their bodies, and immediately realized what was happening. Their faces were instantly filled with envy and excitement.

The light of hope is the divine light that belongs exclusively to the goddess of lanterns. According to legend, during a disaster, the light of hope once appeared in front of the survivors who were in extreme danger, helping them out of danger and even giving them powerful strength and wisdom. In a sense, the blessings of the goddess of civilization and the goddess of victory need to be implemented through the light of hope, which is why the status of the goddess of lanterns is slightly higher than that of the other two goddesses.

However, in the current Redemption Order, the light of hope will only be given to the monks of the Goddess of the Lamp, and any monk of the Goddess of the Lamp who receives the light of hope is the undisputed oracle of the Goddess of the Lamp, so when the Goddess of the Lamp is the chief priest The moment the light of hope was shown, all the doubts in the minds of the other two goddess priests disappeared.

"Why are you the only one who got the oracle from the Lantern God, but we..." The chief priest of the Goddess of Victory looked at his colleagues with envy and jealousy at this moment, and couldn't help but complain, but he soon realized that there was something wrong with his complaint. He swallowed the following words back into his stomach, and then quickly recited the salvation prayer, repenting for his behavior of complaining to the gods.

The chief priest of the Goddess of Civilization did not pay attention to the small mistakes made by his colleagues, but focused on another thing, so he asked: "We were in a hurry just now, and we haven't seen the photos you asked to print. What about that?" What does the Savior look like? How do we find Him? And what do we do after we find Him?”

Faced with a series of practical problems, the Priestess of the Goddess of the Lamp seemed confident. She took out the portrait she had drawn previously and obtained from the oracle and handed it to the Priestess of the Goddess of Civilization. At the same time, she explained her arrangements and said: "According to the oracle, , the Savior is in the city now. It is not clear where he is in the city, but as long as he is in the city, it should be easy to find him. After finding him, we will pass this oracle to the Holy City. , I believe that the Chief Priest of the Lantern in the Holy City should have received the relevant oracle. By then, the Holy City will send someone to confirm the identity of the savior. During this time, I will ask for advice on the troubles I am encountering in the city. Lord, since the Lamp God has given me this oracle at this time, it means that this savior may have appeared to solve the current crisis in the city." As she spoke, she looked at the other two people and said, "This is it. What do you think of my current arrangement?”

Although the Priestess of the Goddess of Victory also had some ideas, she could not do anything. After all, she was not the one who received the oracle.

After taking the portrait, the chief priest of the goddess of civilization kept looking at the portrait, with a look of doubt on her face.

The content of the portrait is very simple. It is a man wearing exotic clothes. This man looks very ordinary. He is not the kind of person who can leave a deep impression at a glance. He is also very young. But if you look closely, he will give you an impression. A feeling of maturity.

The strange look of the Priestess of the Goddess of Civilization also made the Priestess of the Lamp Goddess aware of it. She asked slightly expectantly: "Have you seen this person?"

"No, I haven't seen it before." The chief priest of the Goddess of Civilization answered affirmatively, but then he doubted himself: "But I feel that this person's temperament is a bit familiar, it seems..."

The Priestess of the Goddess of Civilization didn't know how to answer for a moment. She closed her eyes slightly and fell into deep thought again, as if she was recalling the special preparation that felt familiar to her.

The other two goddess priests in the room did not speak, but stood quietly waiting for her to recover.

After a while, the Priestess of the Goddess of Civilization suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly: "I have seen him before. This person appeared in the big library before, but I only saw his back, not his face, but the two The human temperament gives me the same feeling. Even if the man who appears in the Great Library is not the same person, there is definitely a connection between the two. "

"Really? Are you telling the truth?" The priest, the goddess with the lantern, stood up in excitement and hurriedly confirmed.

The chief priest of the goddess of civilization nodded affirmatively.

The Priestess of the Goddess of Victory didn't waste any time and said, "In this case, let's mobilize all our strength and search within the city!"

As a result, the two goddess priests who originally came to investigate the crime have now stood together with the lamp goddess priest, fully cooperating with the lamp goddess priest to find the savior in the oracle.

In order to find the person as soon as possible, they even took the initiative to publicize the person's identity as the savior. First, they could attract the residents in the city to search for him together. Second, they could let the person know their current identity and contact them proactively.

However, what they did not expect was that just when they were promoting the announcement that the Goddess of the Lantern had issued an oracle and that the savior had appeared in New Rand, Leo, the savior in the oracle, had already left New Rand City and was rushing to the former Land. German city.

Ever since he learned that the energy of this world comes from an energy ore called Pava crystal, Leo has become somewhat curious about this Pava crystal that can provide energy and change the environment by naturally emitting energy, so he directly After leaving New Rand City, he unfolded his psychic wings, completely let go of his speed, and flew towards Rand City. He soon returned to the outskirts of Rand City.

When Leo came to Rand City, he did not enter the city center. Instead, he found the location of Rand City's power plant based on the map of Rand City he obtained. This is also the world's standard urban layout. The power plant was built in Pava. on the crystal.

However, what puzzles Leo is that the power plant has completely collapsed. This kind of thoroughness is not an adjective, but a description of the fact. The entire power plant and the surrounding area of ​​four to five hundred meters have collapsed underground, forming a A huge sinkhole, and at the bottom of the sinkhole, all the buildings were in pieces, and the original shapes of these buildings could not be seen.

The scene in front of me gave people the feeling that the underground of the power plant suddenly turned into a huge cavity, and then everything on the ground was destroyed in the cavity collapse.

"Could it be that the destruction of the power plant is related to that energy crystal?" Leo had a guess in his mind, and at the same time, his mental network scanned the underground.

Soon Leo found that the underground situation buried by the ground buildings was a bit strange. He did not find any energy crystals from the ground. He only saw a series of pipe-like tunnels crisscrossing and hollowing out the entire underground soil. Only some relatively hard rocks supported the entire ground part. However, judging from the density of those tunnels, the structure of the ground is very fragile. The remains of the power plant may collapse again at any time, and collapse to a deeper depth.

Leo estimated that the original location of those underground pipes should be a large number of energy crystal mines, but these mines have been dug away. From the size and shape of the tunnels, it is not difficult to guess that the ones who dug away these crystal mines should be the giant vines entrenched in the buildings in the urban area.

Seeing this, Leo could only turn around and continue walking towards the city center. However, when he came to the nearest building, he paused for a moment, because the giant vines parasitic in his building made him feel strongly hostile, as if they regarded him as prey, and this feeling was completely different from the flattering feeling of the giant vines when he was here a few days ago.

Just as Leo was thinking about what caused this difference, the giant vines in the building took the initiative to attack Leo. Suddenly, bright flowers grew on the vines, and these flowers quickly sprayed out a kind of fluorescent spores. Almost in an instant, the surroundings of the building were all covered by these fluorescent spores, and even the location where Leo was was surrounded by fluorescent spores.

This fluorescent spore does not have any hallucinogenic effect, but it has a very strong corrosive effect, and this corrosive effect is only for living things. In front of Leo, several moles that did not have time to escape were corroded and melted into a pile of liquid after being wrapped by fluorescent spores, and then tentacles grew out of the ground and sucked these liquids.

Although these fluorescent spores are deadly to living things, for Leo, these spores can't even get close to him, let alone hurt him. There is always a spiritual field around him. As soon as the spores get close to him, they are repelled by an invisible energy and don't cause any obstacles to him.

The giant vine is not very smart. It was not until Leo came to the bottom of the building and entered the building that he realized that his attack had no effect. So he began to wriggle his huge body, driving the vines to directly attack Leo who broke into the building.
