Chapter 346: Erosion of Authority

671

Intis, Trier.

"It's not over yet." When her eyes felt the burning pain again, Yin Rena withdrew her gaze.

She stood on a balcony in the Cathedral of Light and looked out into the distance. It is not accurate to say that it is a balcony, but it is actually a small raised platform on the faΓ§ade of the church. The decorative platform is nearly 100 meters above the ground and two meters square, and it is impossible for ordinary people to stand up, but the extraordinary can.

Unlike Beckland, the "capital of all worlds" with a lingering sense of majesty and history, when it comes to Trier, the first thing that comes to mind is "artistic", "prosperous" and "romantic". The inner city, where the royal palace and parliamentary government are located, is the most prosperous place, and the squares and streets are full of licensed poets and painters. Unlike the "government areas", which were protected by guards and high walls, the inner city was accessible to most of the aristocracy and wealthy, and the middle class was able to live on the periphery.

On a normal night, the warm yellow light of the gas lamps reflects the streets and alleys, and even when you pass by, you can smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers and wine.

But now, Trier is filled with a different kind of bustle.

Beckland is under martial law at the moment, and due to the high-level battles taking place in the palace area, all the people who still have some status have been transferred to various shelters for the first time. But the streets of Trier still have crowds of people walking around, and driven by responsibility and five times their wages, the Extraordinary Men of the Church of Steam roam the city with their alchemy dolls, attracting frequent attention from the townspeople.

However, due to the initial popularity of Trier's extraordinary, alchemy dolls, giant metal facilities, and church members with incredible powers can be seen all over the city during the month, and the citizens only watch and marvel, and there is no more reaction.

Alchemy dolls hold long black cables, and the Extraordinary Ones command them. Sometimes they climb into the streetlights, sometimes they go into the sewers with pipes. I heard that this is a new product of the Church of Steam and Mechanics, capable of using the power of thunder, lightning, wind, and water to its own use.

It is said that the power of thunder and lightning itself can be harnessed, and when the wind blows and the water flows, it carries energy, so it can drive windmills and waterwheels to grind flour. Yin Rena didn't know that her craftsmanship had not been very good, but she still felt that it sounded amazing.

The Steam Church vowed that these devices would be cleaner and more widely applicable than gas. As for the danger - the danger? Is there one less thing that forgot to turn off the gas and caused the whole building to rise in place? The church can guarantee that even if you forget to turn off the valve of electric energy, the new energy will only make you ascend to heaven alone! - However, the use of these types of material is undoubtedly a direct throw at the face of the Storm Lord and the Storm Church, and there is disagreement among the higher-ups over the fact that more is better than less. So there have been several rounds of voting and meetings within the Steam Church...... In the end, it was the Storm Lord who took the lead in making a move against Intis, which made them completely determined.

The sky was getting darker.

Yin Rena stood on the small platform of the Cathedral of Light, the building glowing under the overcast sky that seemed to fall down.

She tilted her head and looked at the sky, and the idea of her own extreme insignificance came to mind.

Then, the shadow beneath her feet slowly rose to its feet, and out of it came a man in a bright red robe.

Mr. A looked into the distance as she had just looked, and then suddenly exploded into a shadow of flesh and mud all over the ground, and Ms. D, who had been blown up with half of her blood, endured her distorted expression, and at the same time was very accustomed to applying purification and priestly calming to this pool of flesh and blood, and pinched the flesh and shadow back together.

"I just want to see the direction of the sun."

"As a result, I saw several symbols of evil gods."

Mr. A squirmed and said, "It should be afternoon, but the sun is not here, nor is it in the sky. ”

"Surely the Lord is neither here nor in heaven." Yin Rena also purified the blood that had been splashed on her body, "Didn't the Lord say that he went to a far away place, it seems that he was going to the place where the elects were, and we just need to protect Intis." ”

Mass of flesh gathered near Mr. A's head, and he "grew" out of the shadows, and the flesh allowed him to grow out of his body, and by the way, even the red robe.

You Rose Bishops really ...... Yin Rena once again turned her head away as usual. She wondered why her colleagues could be disturbed during her rare lazy time at work, but she thought it would be nice to have someone by her side in this situation.

It would be better if it wasn't a secret prayer person.

"Do you hear the water?"

Yin Rena suddenly asked: "Listen, the sound of water is getting louder and louder, is the drainage system damaged?" ”

Mr. A thought for a moment with a mind that had never been soaked in knowledge, and nodded solemnly: "Perhaps." ”

Yin Rena also realized that she had asked in vain, she raised her hand to weave a ray of sunlight, and this golden light flew into the distance, flying in the direction where the Steam Church was located: "Their extraordinary ones are still laying cables, if there is a problem with the underground river, they should have an immediate reaction." ”

The god of steam and machinery left behind a huge canopy that protected Intis from the spirit of the gods, and also blocked most of the negative effects, allowing the people of Intis to walk the streets without worrying about sudden death or thunder, as can be seen from Mr. A's peeping into the battlefield of the gods from under the canopy and the result is only to explode rather than be polluted.

Directly in front of them, a team of "Mechanical Hearts" was walking around a street lamp.

A member of the "Heart of Machinery" stepped on the steps, raised his hand to remove the lampshade of the gas lamp, unscrewed the bolts, removed the lampholder, and handed it over to another person in an orderly manner.

Many people gradually gathered around, and the citizens of Trier raised their heads, watching the action of the "Machine Heart" in surprise and curiosity, and the bolder children stared intently at the multi-functional alchemy doll that was two meters tall, and they were probably already thinking about how to join the Church of Steam and Machines and how to obtain such a doll.

Next, they began experimenting with the streetlamp.

A simple network of electricity had been laid in a small area around it, and the Extraordinary of the Heart of the Machine jumped off the alchemy doll, and with the help of the other party, cut through the lamppost, replaced the pipes, and put the slender cable wrapped in black gum. He then pulled out a curved tubular object from his suitcase, transparent all over its body, as if it were made of glass, with strange wires in it.

Curious, the eyes widened and they leaned forward, wanting to take a closer look at what it was.

"I've done it a few times in the lab, and it's been successful." Said an extraordinary person.

"It's different, the current and voltage in the laboratory are stable, and there may be deviations outside." Another said.

"Let's try it first. After all, that's the most important thing right now. ”

The Extraordinaire holding the tube whispered a word of praise to the god of steam, and then he stepped on the back of the alchemy doll and walked up to the top of the alchemy doll, connecting the object in his hand with the special lampholder, the wiring and the metal, which was much larger than a gas lamp, and had to be ordered to make a new lampshade.

After the installation, they exchanged a few words with each other, and then one of them opened the box connected to the circuit, took a deep breath, and pushed one of the switches up.

Thorn, sting!

Silver-white electricity and blue sparks flashed, but before the people could scream at the power of the foreign god, the transparent tube suddenly lit up, and the black wire in the center of the lamp burned red, and then suddenly lit up with a blazing white light.

The light illuminated everyone's faces, illuminating the expressions of surprise or shock that froze on them.

- The world suddenly changed at this moment.

It is still a dark sky like dawn, it is still the thousand-year-old royal capital Trier, it is still an ordinary human being and an ordinary extraordinary. But at this time, they were surrounded by a light that had never been seen before with an almost pilgrimage expression and eyes. Lit by the inviolable power of God, the lamp emits an unprecedented light and brightness, controlled by a few ordinary-looking black metal wires, not much different from a gas lamp, but far brighter than a gas lamp that only illuminates the feet. Even children who can just walk have the strength to press the switch.

Then, one after another, new street lamps were lit up, illuminating the entire street.

People even couldn't open their eyes, and for the first time they felt that the street lights seemed to be a little dense.

The white light also illuminated Yin Leina's eyes.

It was a cold light, a metallic light, the opposite of the sun, but not annoying.

"It's kind of familiar." Mr. A said, "Like the moon that day." ”

"yes, it's kind of like that." Yin Rena rarely has some common language with Mr. A, "Perhaps, it will have a special meaning......"

The extraordinary member of the "Heart of the Machine" team was the first to react, as the lamp began to heat up, burning his palm. He quickly removed his hand, jumped off the alchemy doll, and said loudly, "It's successful!" Fast! Tell me soon! ”

"Oh, good, good!"

"I've seen it."

A voice that was so steady that it felt a little indifferent rang in the ears of the team.

The figure of Bonova Gustav appeared at the end of the street, and she raised her hand, and the ground of the whole city shook like water.

Trier came to life, the metal supports underneath slowly awoke, and the steam trains that had stopped running in the station turned on their headlights.

Countless metal pipes and metal frames, including street lamps, came to life, and the drawings of the urban planning and renovation prepared by the Steam Church were imprinted in Bonova's mind, and she took half a step forward, her ten fingers like playing an invisible piano, methodically changing the nature of the surrounding environment and facilities.

And this seismic change has only brought about a small earthquake, and people will not even realize what is happening unless they see it with their own eyes.

Source change app】

Under her macro-control, changes began at the same time in various parts of Trier: the gas street lamps were extinguished one after another, automatically disassembled and reassembled into the latest electric lights; The ground is parted like a zipper pulled by an invisible hand, and cables and pipes are naturally buried; The gas meter hanging on the wall rapidly renews itself in the invisible corner of the user, and the steam train sheds its bulky shell, boiler and external combustion engine like a snake, and gradually grows into a new shell that is infinitely close to the appearance of the "subway" in Russell's creative manuscripts......

In a matter of minutes, Trier's facilities were completely renovated, and the city was instantly more "old-fashioned", with even the spacing between street lights being adjusted to the right distance.

After making sure that all the equipment in the city was working properly, and that the electricity would be available within the next two months, an abstract door appeared next to Bonova, and she walked inside, heading to another large city in Intis.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, another person appeared in the crowd on her back foot.

An old man in a strange mask stood there, he appeared abruptly, but the people around him were not surprised at all, as if this person had been standing here since the beginning, only now being noticed.

The corners of the old man's mouth rose, she was in a good mood, and she looked at a "Electricity Safety Instruction Manual" in her hand, and her smile became more obvious.

"What a trick......

She closed her eyes and sank into the sea of the crowd's minds, projecting the normal usage methods into the hearts of the people around her like a postman, along with a short essay on "the analysis of electricity and the ways in which divine authority can be used".

The panic and anxiety in people's minds quickly decreased, and they gradually began to take an interest in this new type of energy. More and more people are congregating around the "Heart of the Machine" team, praising the god of machines and curiously asking if they can use a similar energy source in their homes.

After walking a few steps, the old man patted his head, and a new bicycle suddenly appeared next to him.

She rode up, pulled out a postman's dark green bag out of nowhere, and rode farther and farther in the ocean of her subconscious.

Sometimes she appears in the ocean of the subconscious, sometimes into the dreams of others, and mail after mail is delivered, turning into words and an underlying thought, slowly influencing the minds of the citizens of Trier.

Electricity, as a new source of energy, began to be initially accepted by the people of Trier.

And over the next short period of time, the number of people accepting will rise exponentially.

……

Astral Plane.

The huge metal creation, which is as stationary as a statue, is slowly changing, and the "Perfect" symbolizes the development of technology, and all technological developments will also be reflected to her.

Her modern metal shell began to take on a silvery-white sheen, and newer smelting techniques created stronger metals, and the appearance of the god began to be renewed. The light of the dim searchlight gradually became pure white and clear, the billowing black smoke gradually thinned out, the boiling boiler and the huge amount of white steam gradually flickered blue electric sparks, and the looming wind and water were also imprisoned in it.

The steam and mechanical gods were sending pleasant messages in their circuits, the number of prayers and her abilities were slowly increasing, and the Hidden Sage retreated from battle, which made her hearth brighter.

Next, just wait for Medici's signal.

In her chest, the Primordial Witch was still bowed her head, bound to a metal burner, the sun's fire of judgment immobilizing Chick. And Medici, who has unimaginable experience in schizophrenia, is fighting her to the death mentally.

in the spiritual world.

The Primordial Witch and the God of War sat opposite each other, with a table in front of them, each holding several cards in their hands.

Loftus-Cheek smiled like a fanged cobra, and she pulled one out of her hand and threw it on the table:

"The Great Plague of Beckland."

Medici snorted disdainfully: "Pain? Or despair? ”

She put the other cards aside at random, flipped one card between her index and middle fingers:

"A feast of betrayal."

Rumble!

The two portraits behind the primordial witch suddenly burned, and the black-haired and black-eyed peerless beauty on the picture slowly deformed, the flames burned out a long red hair, and the smile on the beauty's face gradually changed from gloomy disdain to arrogance and disdain.

In terms of "pain" and "despair", Medici caused far more scope and after-effects than the relatively low-key primordial witch.

Cheek has a feeling that if she competes for the role of "Doomsday", she may also be overwhelmed - because the Feast of Betrayal is the most terrifying apocalypse that has occurred on the earth in five epochs!

"Medici, you've played five rounds on this card."

Chick's snake hair hissed, "...... Isn't there anything else to the god of war? ”

The Red Angel laughed:

"Don't worry."
