Chapter 35: The Black Cat Is Troubled

Day by day passed like this, and the days went on in a state of hopelessness.

Finally, at this time today, the black cat felt that he was already going crazy, literally.

Because she hadn't closed her eyes for a full month, for twenty-nine days, day and night, she had been in a strange state of "cultivating immortals", full of energy.

At this time, she realized that her new body in this world was completely a pit-

Despite having about twice the physical fitness of the average person, and extremely healthy.

However, there is no need to eat, drink, sleep, etc., and all the physiological activities that human beings should have, even breathing, are disguised. When she tried to stop breathing, she realized to her horror that she didn't need it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that her body temperature and heartbeat were not fake, and she was still able to master the power of the sacred sun magic, she would even think that she had become some kind of necromantic creature in her brain.

It's just that there's no way to hide that real trap -

After falling asleep in one's own world, consciousness shifts to the body of this world and vice versa.

At first, she understood this sentence as any normal person:

When you dream in one world, your consciousness shifts to the other world and you wake up. So she thought she should be able to accept this situation, anyway, she just dreamed of another world every night when she was asleep.

Although this dream is continuous, and it may continue every night, it will not affect my normal life too much.

However, when she found herself in this world when she didn't seem to need to sleep at all, and she couldn't sleep at all, she deeply felt the malice from the gods she served.

- You can go back when you fall asleep, but you can't sleep at all, so you can't go back.

Anyway, I didn't lie to you, it's just that you don't have enough skills...... You can't blame the government for your hard life, and you can't blame the society for your back.

……

……

"Abominable, hateful, hateful...... That guy hasn't responded to me all this time, is it already down? But the mechanism of divine bestowing has always been working, which means that there is no problem with the kingdom of God at all......"

Dressed in the robes of the high priest, Wumore Liuli gritted her teeth and walked down the street in despair, after a month, she had basically adapted to the living environment of this air steam city.

In fact, this era is not as bad as she imagined at the beginning, and even when the black cat first started, it was with the inner consciousness of facing the dirty and messy environment of ancient times.

Open defecation is common, sewers are often clogged, and big cities have a constant smell......

- For modern people, the time and space of 500 years ago were not much different from each country and civilization, but Europe was especially excessive.

However, the black cat didn't expect that he was facing such a fantastic and incredible worldview.

What the hell is this really the Warring States Period?!

In the eyes of the black cat, the city has wide stone slabs or red brick paved roads, and as long as the main road is large enough to accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel. There are complete drainage canals on both sides of the road, and on the periphery there is an urban green belt, which is dotted between the road and the main building complex.

And at equal distances, there are black lampposts on both sides of the road, which are lit up at nightfall, and seem to use steam power to generate electricity.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of stone, and the steel golems on the streets are all maintaining law and order. Garbage bins can be seen everywhere, and even eerie steam-powered versions of vending machines have appeared.

There are also four types of transportation in the city: horse-drawn carriages, steam cars, airships, and air-rail transport trains. In addition to the horse-drawn carriages contracted to the people, the latter three means of transportation were the lifeblood and were therefore in the hands of the Imagawa shogunate.

Overall, the transportation is also very convenient, and it is easy to travel between the five major urban areas.

The most important thing is that this sky city is divided into five areas, and at the same time it is built on the floating island in the sky, so it is called the floating city -

For the people of this era, it was simply a city where the gods lived.

All the inhabitants of the city have a sense of pride in being chosen, and the miracles that are said to have been performed by the gods have made it rare for the people of the city to become very self-disciplined, and even for the year 2000, they are highly qualified talents.

That's right, this is not the Warring States period at all, but an alternate parallel world parallel to the Victorian period of the nineteenth century!

Moreover, it is also the kind of world that has embarked on the steampunk-style branching route.

The advanced and the backward coexist. Some people are riding in cars and airships, and some people are riding in horse-drawn carriages.

Magic and science coexist. Large rideable machines have appeared, and there are also people using martial arts and sorcery.

There were wooden spire houses and cobble-paved roads, imaginative vehicles, and the coexistence of multiple energy sources while using steam power as the mainstream, propellers, gears, pistons, and bearings began to be used in large numbers in machinery, and all tended to become gigantic.

And according to the common sense that Wumore Liuli knows, there are three main power systems in this world.

The first is the mysterious power that already exists, all kinds of witchcraft, magic, Taoism, etc., but it belongs to the metaphysics that has already declined, and the power is very small and the effect is not great, for example, it is like the level of blinding or retreat used by ninjas.

It wasn't until not long ago, for some reason, that it was said that it was the revival of aura or the elemental tides that this power system quickly came back to life and became one of the mainstreams, generally in the hands of those forces that were once in their hands.

The second is a certain kind of "qi" power that makes her feel a sense of immediacy, which can be used for combat and detection, and is generally only exercised by sergeants who have experienced battlefield fighting.

The best of them are like the lord of the city, they are strategic-level beings, and they can conquer a city by one person, and they can be called the strongest creatures on the ground.

The third is the divine power mastered by a clergyman like the black cat himself...... However, it is not quite correct to say that it is mastered, because it is more like the number of divine spells given by the gods.

It is refreshed in the early hours of the morning, and once it is used up for the day, it will have to be replenished the next day.

That's not their own power, Wumore Liuli always has such a feeling.

However, the girl rarely uses the power of magic, because she is the high priest of the church, and she is currently one of the highest-ranking people in the church. Yet she doesn't seem to have anything else to do other than codify doctrine.

The divine healing of various restoration techniques did not require her to do it, and the ordinary clergy in the temple would handle it on their own. Although the number of magic spells is limited, it is enough to deal with the current situation.

After all, it is impossible for a city to have hundreds of casualties every day that require divine magic to be able to heal them. In that case, it would certainly not be a city for people to live in, but a high-risk mining area.

And the offensive magic can not be easily released, according to the skill prompts he saw, the black cat is quite sure that those things are big killing weapons, and throwing them in the city will inevitably cause huge casualties and destruction-

She didn't want to be arrested and thrown into prison for some reason, her status as a high priest didn't have any privileges attached to criminal immunity, and in fact there didn't seem to be a privileged class of nobles in the city.

Although those people still exist, those guys seem to have been brainwashed, and they are all pioneers for the country and the people.

And even the Church of God does not seem to have any intention of challenging secular authority, or rather, the relationship between the two is somewhat too ambiguous.

Maybe the insight of the people of this era is not enough to see the problem, but it is important to read the world...... ACG's work of the five more glass,There must be a bit of a B number in my heart.。

She was always suspicious that the Imagawa lord might have some shady relationship with her immediate boss, and she was also skeptical of the Imagawa lord's claim that he "accidentally received the favor of the sun god and then decided to promote the Sun Church".

Since ancient times, the game between divine power and royal power has been a very important historical issue.

If the two are not separated, they will interfere with each other, resulting in sharp contradictions, and it is absolutely impossible to juxtapose, and both sides want to completely overthrow the other.

If the royal power is absolutely superior, the religious theocracy will prostrate at the feet of the power; If the divine power is higher than the royal power, then it has supremacy and unlimited authority.

If the lord of Imagawa wanted to grasp the power of religious interpretation, then her behavior was understandable, but she did not do so, and she was still doing her best to promote the development of religious theocracy, without worrying that such a development trend would affect her.

Out of the girl's keen instincts, the black cat vaguely felt that the relationship between the lord of the country and his own gods must be unusual, as if her behavior was like a silent interpretation of a fact-

The nation is mine, and I am His.

When you think about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Of course, Black Cat doesn't think that her unevidenced nonsense is the truth, she just thinks that this subject matter seems to be quite good, and seriously considers whether to write a new light film with this theme when she goes back.

She has always had her own habit of writing lightly, but she has never been selected, but that doesn't change her enthusiasm and interest.

In the situation where people can't see hope, they always have to find a goal for themselves to avoid pessimism and numbness. Wumore Liuli is like this, she subconsciously found a goal for herself to "write lightly with this theme after I go back".

The focus was on "after going back", which allowed her to regain her motivation.

It's just that she probably doesn't know what kind of consequences her idea will have.

……

……

The city in the sky seems to have turned into a satellite orbiting the Earth, hovering above the clouds, advancing in a specific direction, changing directions from time to time.

At this time, there is a boundless blue sea below, and a small island, small in size, with a small coconut grove in the middle.

Just as the huge floating island in the floating city had just flown over the clouds, on the beach of the island below, more than a dozen people in "fancy clothes" suddenly appeared, lying on the sand and enjoying the sunbathing.

A minute passed, and only two or three people slowly came to their senses.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Well, the fourteen-player difficulty is only five more than our original team, which is acceptable. ”

The leader was a short, about 1.5 meters tall, but muscular bald man, his clothes were full of black bear skin, and he had strange tattoos on his face.

The fluctuations of natural energy are faintly reflected in him, and it seems to be very harmonious with the surrounding environment.
