The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The coachman is a very smart guy. He saw Leo's traveler's attire and came out of the dock company's ticket office, so he knew Leo's current situation, and after hearing Leo's request for a hotel, he immediately It is also good for him to know where to take Leo, at least he will be able to get an extra share after it is done.

"This is the hotel I want?" Leo looked at this simple hotel located on a small hill at the edge of Simps City, and couldn't help but look at the coachman with displeasure.

Although this hotel is built of wood, and there are some plants that can adapt to the saline-alkali soil around it, the style is different from most of the stone houses in Simps Harbor, but this kind of hotel is the best and the most requested by Leo. Comfortably hangs on the hook.

"Trust me, if you want to go north when the Maris Kingdom has sealed off the entire territory, there is absolutely nothing wrong with staying in this hotel." It seems that this is not the first time that the coachman has heard similar doubts, so he quickly answered.

"There is a way for me to bypass the blockade and go north." Leo quickly guessed what the coachman meant.

The coachman smiled and did not answer, but said to a waitress who was coming out of the hotel door, "Kate, this is your guest."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Leo, then jumped into the carriage and drove towards the city quickly.

"Hello! Welcome to the Oasis Hotel. Do you have any luggage to take?" The waitress walked up to Leo, saluted Leo, and asked in a very formulaic manner.

Leo shook his head and said, "No, the driver just said..."

"Wait." The waitress interrupted Leo without waiting for him to finish, and then explained: "We know what you said, but I am not in charge of that matter. At night, someone will contact you Yes, you can rest here in peace."

Seeing what the waitress said, Leo didn't ask any more questions, and entered the hotel under her leadership.

Although the hotel looks simple from the outside, the inside is very delicate. Some artificially carved decorations, beams and sculptures with obvious primitive tribal characteristics, plus some small furnishings make it very unique.

In addition, the exquisite floor booths shipped from Savile paved the entire lobby of the hotel, plus the huge crystal chandelier hanging on the lobby, so that anyone who comes in can feel its luxury, which is different from the simple outside. A stark contrast is formed, giving people a very special impression of contrast.

After seeing all this, Leo had to admit that the designer of this hotel was very clever, at least anyone who came to the hotel for the first time would no longer doubt the strength of the hotel at this moment.

In the reception hall, there is a restaurant, bar and game room on one side. Judging from the lingering smoke and noisy voices there, it is obvious that there are many guests here, and many of them have the accent of Daliat. They were some Daliates who were trapped in the Duchy of Pus and could not return home.

Because of proficiency, it didn't take too much time for Leo to check in, and he didn't even look at his identity documents. After taking Leo to the room, the waitress reminded Leo again and asked him to check in at night. Remember to stay in the room, someone will contact him.

In the room, Leo washed up a bit, cleaned the dust off his body with psionic energy, and then sat on the sofa in the living room of the room, closed his eyes and meditated, and revisited and familiarized himself with his use of the second nervous system during this period.

Although, in the process of experimenting with the second nervous system, he encountered some troubles, but it was safe and sound. Now he has fully mastered the use of the second nervous system, which can transform the power of any kind of god imprint, and In this way, they pretend to be the patrons of these gods, and they can also pry into the secrets of related divine powers.

Even during this period of time, he took the time to create some methods of use according to the power of the imprints of various gods.

For example, the power of the abyss serpent's eyeballs can allow him to obtain a mysterious whispering sound, which can be directly transmitted to the depths of the opponent's soul. At this moment, he can only use this method to interfere with the other party's spirit, but he estimates that as the power of the abyss he masters becomes more and stronger, this kind of whispering sound should also improve, and then he may have other incredible things. Power is given to this voice.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was dark, a sound of footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the door, and the sound finally stopped when it reached Leo's door, followed by a knock on the door.

Leo got up and opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man dressed in the style of the Maris Kingdom standing at the door. He took off the round hat on his head, revealing a very ordinary face, and walked towards Leo. He saluted, and then asked in the language of Maris, "Do you want to go to the north?"

"Yes." Leo nodded, then stepped aside, signaled the middle-aged man to come in, closed the door, led the middle-aged man to the living room, and asked, "Do you have a way to bypass the blockade?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man replied very positively.

"What do I need to pay?" Leo asked again.

The middle-aged man replied: "It depends on where you are going?"

"Pandle Harbor." Leo replied.

Leo's address stunned the middle-aged man for a moment. He originally thought that Leo was going to Delite, just like the other Delites in this hotel.

"Pandle Port is currently under the control of the Revolutionary Army. Because it is by the sea, it often receives attacks from the Royal Navy. Yesterday, Pandle Port was attacked by the Royal Navy, and many urban areas were damaged. After the middle-aged man came back to his senses, he immediately introduced the situation of Pender Harbor, and confirmed again: "Are you sure you want to go to Pender Harbor?"

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"In this case, I will arrange it for you." The middle-aged man took out a small notebook and wrote it quickly, calculated it, then wrote a number on a piece of paper, and handed it to Leo Dao : "This is the full cost. If you have no objection, please pay half of the deposit first."

Leo looked at the above figure, this figure is definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing to Leo, so he didn't care too much, nodded and agreed to the price, and asked Said: "Do you want to hand over the deposit?"

"No, I won't take over the money. The hotel will send someone to collect the money later, and the deposit will be included in the hotel's consumption." Seeing that a deal was negotiated so quickly, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He looked happy, and explained: "The other half of the deposit, you just need to wait until the person who transports you and hand it directly to that person." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the room, and when he left the room , raised the hat in his hand, saluted Leo, and said: "May the king of the hill guide your path so that you can reach the place you want to go smoothly."

"Praise the hill." Leo also responded according to the religious etiquette he knew.

Seeing Leo's formal etiquette of the Church of the Hill King, the middle-aged man froze for a moment, then closed the door with a smile.

More than an hour later, the waitress who led the way before came to Leo's room door and knocked on the door, and when Leo opened the door, she asked Leo directly: "Sir, is your deposit due?" Are you ready?"

Leo casually wrote out a current check and handed it over.

Although it is a cash check of the Kingdom of England, this bank has reached an agreement with several large banks in the world, and the cash checks between them can be circulated with each other, so there is no need to worry about not being able to withdraw money.

"Someone will take you to the transportation place tomorrow morning." The waitress checked the authenticity of the check, then issued a receipt to Leo, and said again.

"It was arranged for me so quickly." Leo asked with some doubts: "Then those people downstairs..."

The waitress smiled awkwardly, and said: "The means of transportation you want to reach is very special. Those people doubt its safety, so they stay here and wait for the news, and they are willing to start after they are sure that they can really pass through the blockade area safely. OK."

After speaking, she seemed worried that Leo would continue to ask, so she immediately turned and left.

With a little curiosity in his heart, Leo returned to the room and continued to familiarize himself with the use of the second nervous system.

Nothing happened all night, until early in the morning, before dawn, someone knocked on the door of Leo's room. When he opened it, there was a young man standing at the door, who looked like a mechanical worker in a factory, and his body There is also a strong smell of vegetable lubricants.

"Are you the passenger this time? Do you have anything to salute that I can pick up?" The young man asked immediately when he saw Leo.

"Let's go!" Leo shook his head, walked out of the room, closed the door, and signaled the young man to lead the way.

The two walked out of the hotel one after the other, and boarded a converted steam trailer waiting there.

At this time, some people have already been made, and Leo knew their identities by looking at their attire, a wealthy businessman couple and their bodyguards, two middle-aged men with hats covering their faces tightly It seems that he should be from the Revolutionary Army, a widower with a child who has a strong sailor temperament.

There are also three women who look like missionaries. It is not difficult to tell from the patterns on their clothes that they are from the same church, but Leo can't recognize which church they belong to from the characteristics of the three priests' robes. It is judged that the church where the three female missionaries belong should be an underground church recognized by the Orthodox Church, and it is a new church.

The underground church has always existed since ancient times. Even in those years when the Orthodox church was the most powerful, the underground church was still active in various countries, and some even used some external forces to transform from the underground church to the church recognized by the Orthodox church. The Swamp Gods Sect in China is a model for the conversion of underground churches.

However, the Marsh Church is just a special case of countless underground churches. There are very few special cases like this. Most of the time, the underground church is the target of the Orthodox Church. All members of the underground church must be killed. There is no objection , Even the Grand Duke of a country was publicly executed by the Orthodox Church because of his involvement in the incident of the underground church.

For the Orthodox Church, all underground churches are the same, they are all evil god churches, and they are all heretics, but in fact, those who really understand the underground churches know that there are differences among underground churches.

One is the church of evil gods that the Orthodox Church refers to. Not only the Orthodox Church is cracking down, but even the governments of various countries are cracking down.

The other is the underground church with gentle and kind teachings. Not only will these churches not cause social turmoil, but they can help the governments of various countries to appease the people's emotions. The church will also be protected by the governments of various countries.

However, whether it is the Church of the Evil God that everyone shouts and beats, or the underground churches with moderate teachings, they have not dared to carry out public activities for a long time, and they will only recruit believers secretly.

However, as the power of the Orthodox Church weakened, countries began to suppress the Orthodox Church, and the preaching of the underground churches also began to be semi-public. If it weren’t for the fact that the governments of various countries still need to use the Orthodox Church to deal with those evil churches that are about to move, they may have begun to openly support them. The underground church.

Compared with the continent of Velen, where the Orthodox Church is located, the underground churches in the Minsk continent are relatively active. The turmoil in the Maris Kingdom this time is definitely a good opportunity for the underground churches to preach. In the middle, they are more willing to pray for those inexplicable existences.

Although the three major churches rule the Minsk mainland, they are also showing weakness now, especially the inaction of the Church of the Hill King during the turmoil in the Maris Kingdom, which offended both the royal government and the revolutionary army. Cleaned up, so both sides allowed the underground churches to preach in the borders and refugee camps under their respective jurisdictions.

Now these three female missionaries are probably also planning to take this opportunity to recruit believers and expand the influence of the church. Since they were also blocked from the Maris Kingdom by the Maris Kingdom's ban, they should not be Maris The native church of the Sri Lanka Kingdom should be members of the underground church from the other two continents.

While waiting for other people to get on the bus, Leo also tried to activate his spiritual vision to observe other people around him, especially the situation of the three underground church missionaries.

As he expected, the wealthy businessman's couple, bodyguards and others were all ordinary people, and only the three female missionaries could see some fluctuations in the power of the imprint of the gods.

The power of this imprint of the gods fluctuated very weakly. Obviously, the three female missionaries were not patrons, but they were just ordinary priests. It's just that all three of them have strange things that don't belong to their church. From the power fluctuations emitted by these three strange things, Leo can estimate that these three strange things have the power to threaten the lives of third-level psykers. power.

At this time, the previous worker brought over a dozen more people and filled the trailer compartment. Then he walked to the front of the truck, started the steam engine, and slowly dragged a compartment full of passengers towards the outskirts.
