The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"I don't care what questions you have. Tomorrow I will see that all supplies are sent to the camp of the Third Army. On the fourth day, the Third Army must set out to clean up the abyss vines in Redstone County." Melina pointed her finger Putting on a spectacle frame, he looked at the logistics officer in front of him with a serious face, and warned: "Don't make any excuses. If I hear that the Fourth Army doesn't move out as planned due to supplies, not only will you be accused of dereliction of duty." Punishment, even your boss will be sent to the court, because anyone who obstructs the recovery plan is a heretic, do you understand?"

The logistics officer's body was already shaking like a sieve because of fear, how could he dare to think about anything else in his mind, and repeatedly stated that he would definitely prepare all the materials he needed.

After signaling the logistics officer to go down, Melina leaned back on the chair, looked at the large stack of material applications and transfer documents on the table, groaned in pain, stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, and wondered whether she should change Wrong position.

As one of the main leaders of the recovery plan, Melina can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the Holy City of Salvation, but if she can go back a few years ago, she will never agree to take over the current position. Although the office of the Tribunal has less power, it is much more relaxed than it is now. At least the biggest advantage is that you don’t have to meet with representatives of all parties frequently and coordinate the relationship between various departments within the congregation. It is not uncommon for things to delay the plans of the Legion.

If Melina's way of doing things in the past is followed, she will definitely capture those who create obstacles to the congregation's plan into the dungeon of the Inquisition Chamber, interrogate them with the most cruel methods, and then put them on the square as a festival torch up.

However, she can't do this now. It's not that she doesn't want to, but sitting in this position, the things she needs to consider are no longer as simple as the trial court, and she needs to consider various consequences. It is very easy to kill those troublemakers. Simple, but after killing those guys, there is no way to find enough suitable candidates for their positions, and even if they find suitable candidates, it is impossible to take over their affairs immediately, so we can only leave those insects behind, After the congregation's recovery plan is completed, I will slowly settle accounts with those guys.

As the first batch of monks from the Redemption Order, the first batch of judges in the Order of the Order, the first batch of gods in the order, and the eternal judge blessed by the Goddess of Victory, Melina is absolutely qualified to investigate anyone, including the Pope.

Melina is the only survivor in this world who was born and raised before the disaster. Although she is almost ninety years old now, under the blessing of the goddess, her appearance and body have always remained in her thirties. Best state.

Before the disaster, she worked as an intern assistant in a scientific research base, and when the disaster was general, she happened to assist some scientists in the underground laboratory of the scientific research base to conduct experiments, because many of these scientists had doomsday plots, So they prepared a lot of materials needed for the doomsday in the laboratory.

After the disaster, these materials helped them survive the most difficult period. Later, because of the exhaustion of food, they had to leave the underground laboratory that had been converted into a shelter, came to the ground, and went to the nearest The scientific research base looks for materials that can be used.

Melina was the first group of people to go to the scientific research base, but because of her respiratory disease, she needed to wear an oxygen mask to be able to move outdoors. She was not included in this operation because the medicine she needed had already been taken. It must be found in the scientific research base, so that her disease can be curbed, otherwise she will die of disease.

However, it was precisely because she was wearing an oxygen mask to isolate the oxygen from the outside world that when she was close to the scientific research base, she did not inhale the spores floating in the air like the others in the team and became a walking dead.

However, when she escaped from the scientific research base and returned to the underground laboratory, she encountered a blizzard and lost her way in the blizzard. Later, she encountered wolves, which caused an avalanche, seriously injured, and passed out in the snow in the wilderness.

Fortunately, she was very lucky, and happened to meet the first Pope of the Order of Redemption who was enlightened by the Lord of Redemption, and also the founder of the Order of Redemption, St. Maria Maria.

With the help of St. Mary's Leah, he recovered from his injuries, and also learned about the Lord of Redemption, as well as the purpose of the Redemption Order, which was still the Redemption Society at that time, and joined in, becoming the second hospital of the Redemption Society.

After that, she took St. Maria and her followers to the underground laboratory, and wanted the survivors there to join the team of St. Maria.

It's a pity that they went too late. There are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the underground laboratory. It became the nourishment of giant vines.

Afterwards, St. Mary Anlia led her and other members of the Redemption Society to repair in the underground laboratory to avoid the blizzard season. During this time, St. Mary Anlia re-edited the Redemption Book of the Lord of Redemption, and will The Society of Redemption was adapted into the Order of Redemption, specifying a full set of sacrament ceremonies for the Lord of Redemption and the Three Goddesses, and finally the Order of Redemption was established. Melina joined the Order of Redemption at that time and became the first group of monks to redeem.

After so many years, Melina has gradually expanded the Redemption Order with St. Mary's Leah, and her status in the Redemption Order has also increased day by day. When she was thirty-six years old, she successfully obtained the blessing of the Goddess of Victory and became a The Goddess of the Goddess of Victory, whose logo is a scale of divine favor that looks like some kind of black metal on the forehead.

After the establishment of the Holy City of Redemption, she entered the Tribunal and became a judge. After she completed a hundred trial trials, the Goddess of Victory blessed her again, making her the eternal judge of the Goddess of Victory. , which represents that she is qualified to stand beside the goddess of victory after her death, holding the balance of justice for the goddess of victory.

In the following decades, she has been serving in the Holy City Tribunal. According to her qualifications, she should have become the chief judge of the Tribunal long ago, but because she overused her judicial authority in several missions, causing There were many unnecessary casualties, so the position could not be raised, and even later it was cast idle and arranged to work in a civilian office.

For a person like her to do clerical work is like going to jail, but her character allows her to complete her work to perfection, and she will not do any dereliction of duty because of her preferences.

However, she has always been dissatisfied with the clerical work, so when the recovery plan was announced a few years ago, she submitted the transfer application immediately. In her opinion, the recovery plan will definitely use a lot of force, and she is very suitable to be on the front line She can also take up annoying clerical jobs and participate in various battles on the front line.

However, what she didn't expect was that her application was directly reviewed by the Pope, and the Pope also approved the application, but there was a slight mistake in that the position she got was not the commander or vanguard officer of the various legions he applied for. Instead, he is also a clerical officer in charge of logistics and personnel affairs, and one of the three main persons in charge of the recovery plan.

Now Melina is in charge of much more authority than she is in the office of the Tribunal, because the recovery plan covers all departments of the Redemption Order, so she, the logistics and personnel affairs officer, also has the right to intervene in all of the Redemption Order. The affairs of the department can be said to be of high authority, but this is not the job she wants, so she has been submitting transfer applications all the time, and these applications have been rejected without exception.

Just a few days ago, a new application was rejected again. Melina, who had expected it for a long time, was not discouraged. She took out a copy of the transfer application from the drawer and signed her name on it. After stamping the seal, he pressed the electric bell on the table.

The assistant who heard the ringing knocked on the door, pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the cover of the document that Melina handed over, she couldn't help showing a helpless look, and after finishing the document, said: "My lord, you have already This is the ninety-seventh application, and I think the result will be the same as last time. Instead of wasting time and energy like this, why don't you just use your status as a divinely favored person? According to the canon of the order, you have certain privileges , such things as transferring positions should not be a problem."

Melina looked at her assistant, and said with some irrelevant answers: "Do you know why you have not been able to obtain the blessing of our Lord all this time, but I can receive divine grace every time I receive a sacrament?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively, "Because you are the favored one."

"No!" Melina shook her head and said, "Because I am in awe of my lord, even if it is the divine grace bestowed by my lord, I am also in awe. Using my personal affairs to use divine grace is the greatest blasphemy against my lord."

When the assistant heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although Melina's tone was very calm when she said this, and she didn't show any anger, but when she thought of Melina's previous identity and deeds, she couldn't help but It makes people feel that Melina's words mean something.

Melina knew what her assistant was thinking, she didn't care about it, and didn't explain it, she just raised her hand to indicate that the assistant could leave.

After the assistant left the office with anxiety, Melina stood up, walked to the multi-layer glass door behind her, opened the door, and walked to the balcony outside, overlooking the Holy City of Redemption in front of her.

The site selection of the Holy City of Salvation was very particular. At the beginning, St. Mariamlia did not choose a city that had been purified as the site for the construction of the Holy City, but chose a mountainous area far away from the city. Among the mountains, she chose a city named Seven Sisters The peak of the mountain serves as the site for the construction of the holy city.

Later, St. Mariamlia used miracles to build the Sanctuary of Salvation on the highest Marian Peak of the Seven Sisters, and then gradually expanded the holy city centered on the Sanctuary of Salvation.

For a long time, the Holy City has been continuously expanding, and it is still expanding. The Seven Sisters have been completely covered by buildings with various regional styles, and houses have also been built on the slopes below and in the forest outside the slopes. , became a part of the Holy City, and even cave houses were built on the cliffs, and now it has become the residence of the Holy City Penance School.

At the beginning, the holy city was not suitable for human habitation, and all kinds of materials needed to be brought in from outside, but now with the completion of the third technological recovery plan, there is already a set of plantations and farms in the holy city that produce amazing food The food provided every day can fully support the daily needs of the millions of people in the holy city, and there is even a large surplus. After a part of it is stored as a reserve grain, it can also support other sanctuary cities.

In addition, energy has also been solved in the second technology recovery plan, wind energy, solar energy and other energy sources have been researched, and related equipment that can be used has been produced, and the geothermal energy widely distributed underground is also very good. It has replaced the previous energy crystals, and has also made great progress in storing energy. The technology department of the congregation developed an energy storage device similar to energy crystals more than ten years ago.

With the support of sufficient energy, the lighting of the entire holy city has never been turned off. Even at night, the light emitted from the holy city is still dazzling. Some people even call the holy city the city of light.

However, in Melina's eyes, the lighting device of the holy city that amazed the world is not something shocking. As a person who was born before the disaster, she has seen what the world looked like before the disaster, and what technology is like. Great, even though the holy city has restored a lot of technology and even has a lot of innovative technology, it is still much worse than the world before the disaster. City views generate too many mood swings.

The reason why she likes to stand on this cold balcony overlooking the holy city is because she can clearly see the statue of the three goddesses in the holy parish at the foot of the mountain. The statue was carved by herself , representing her devout belief in the Lord of Redemption and the Goddess of Victory.

"My lord, the Sanctuary has sent someone to ask you to go to the Sanctuary's Hall of Sages immediately for a meeting." While Melina was admiring the scenery, another assistant of hers knocked on the door and came in, enduring the cold wind blowing in from the door, loudly shouted to Melina on the balcony.

"A meeting in the hall of all sages?" Melina couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, because in her memory, the high-level executives of the congregation only held three meetings in a place called the hall of all sages. It was the site of the holy city, and the last time was the first religious meeting of the order held after the death of the first Pope St. and papal election rules.

Undoubtedly, the meeting in the Hall of Sages means that there is a major event that will definitely affect the direction of the Redemption Order to be discussed, and this also makes Melina feel extremely puzzled, because according to all the information in her hands, it is obvious that there is no Is there any important event worthy of meeting in the hall of all sages.

Although her heart was full of doubts, Melina's movements were not slow. She returned to the office, took off the monk's robe hanging on the door opening, put on the redemption badge, and hurried out of the office building, and boarded the waiting room. The carriage there drove towards the Marian Peak where the sanctuary was located.
