The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 533 Investigation Team
At Bruno City Station, a large number of goblin guards blocked the entire station. There were at least two guards on duty at each entrance and exit of the station, and roadblocks were set up within a three-kilometer radius of the station. All goblins entering this area had to be checked by the guards.

These guards carried steam backpacks on their backs and wore steam masks on their faces. In their hands, they all held Beta V high-pressure steam nail guns.

After iterative upgrades, this nail gun, which was originally a tool, can now shoot sixty alloy nails strong enough to penetrate steel in one minute.

Under such strict protection, the Bruno Station, which used to be bustling with people, has become quiet.

Inside the station, Bruno Mayor Adelan looked at his pocket watch. Behind him, all the factory owners in Bruno were present. These factory owners were wearing respectable formal clothes, and the fine leather shoes on their feet were not wrinkled or dusty at all.

They were wearing special perfume and the platform around them was cleaned spotlessly.

Trained servants spread red carpets on the ground and sprinkled perfume all over the station. Each gram of this perfume was equivalent to two or three days' wages for workers, but here, these perfumes were used in barrels, just to prevent the mayor and many factory owners from smelling the "foul stench of the common people."

"It's time," Adelan whispered.

The next moment, a dull sound of wheels and rails came into his ears along the rails.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...Woo!

With a shrill whistle, a giant steel python came from a distance and rushed into the platform with unstoppable force.

The train did not slow down in advance when it was about to enter the platform!
Many factory owners were frightened by this scene and turned pale, and many of them took a few steps back unconsciously.

The strong wind brought by the train set off a storm in the station. The factory owners were made miserable by the strong wind. The dresses and hairstyles they had carefully prepared all turned into nothingness at this moment.

Only Mayor Adelan remained standing, not moving a step despite the crazy movement of the train. He was elegant and calm, and even more surprising was that his attire did not change in the strong wind, and not a speck of dust fell on him.

Adlan waved his skirt and walked elegantly to the train entrance. At this moment, the factory owners realized that this armored behemoth had stopped steadily on the platform in just a few seconds.

rumbling...

The sides of the carriages were opened, and twelve tall figures in cloaks walked out of the twelve carriages at the same time.

A figure walked towards Adelan and performed the rituals of the Church of the Lord of All Affairs.

"Knight Alvin."

"Adelan, Mayor of Bruno."

The tall figures gathered together, and only then could the many factory owners see the bodies of these giants clearly.

The bodies of these crusader knights have been completely transformed into machines. Under their black cloaks, the blackened external armor plates do not reflect any light under the shining light.

They wore helmets of the Church of All Things with a hood on top. These knights carried a long box on their backs, which contained the holy swords forged by the Church of All Things.

It is said that these holy swords can cut through metal as smoothly as a knife cutting through butter, and their texture is so hard that they will not be scratched even if they are bombarded by steam cannons ten thousand times.

"Regarding Bishop Orson, I wonder if you have made any new discoveries during this period of time," Alvin asked.

Adlan smiled gracefully and apologized: "I'm sorry, my men are all incompetent. Even after investigating for so many days, they haven't found any clues."

Alvin nodded and said nothing more.

"Please send someone to take us to the scene."

"can."

……

A green light flew out from the tip of the wooden staff and sank into Bernard's body.

Under the stimulation of life force, Bernard's dying body suddenly came to life. He opened his eyes suddenly, wanting to see clearly what was happening.

When he looked around, he saw a tall man in a gray robe standing beside him. The man's gray robe was patched, and he was holding a very ordinary-looking wooden staff in his hand.

Bernard suddenly remembered something. When he was strolling around a few days ago, he heard a worker who was burning a boiler at the Oss Smelter say that a saint appeared on Thirteenth Street. He would help workers treat their injuries almost free of charge. And no matter how serious the injury was, it could be cured in his hands.

So, he survived?
But before Bernard could speak, a strong feeling of suffocation once again surged into Bernard's brain.

Realizing this, Ben showed a trace of compassion on his face. The staff Richard gave him could heal wounds and kill germs, but it could not regenerate broken limbs or clear a full lung.

"Father, my father..."

"I'm sorry, I can't completely cure your father's illness." Ben shook his head slightly, "I can detoxify him and treat some of his old injuries. But your father's lungs have been filled with dust. There is no other way to treat it except to replace the lungs."

Hearing Ben's answer, a trace of despair flashed across Barnard's eldest son's face.

"Does this monk need a lung transplant?"

"Yes, there is no other way."

"…It's okay. It's a good thing to heal the old injury." The eldest son forced a smile, turned around and began to search in the corner of the room.

Bernard wanted to stop him, but the feeling of suffocation made him unable to speak.

After a while, the eldest son came to Ben with a handful of coins, most of which were worth a few dimes, and occasionally a dollar.

"Father, my family is not rich, this money..."

"Stop, kid. I told you I won't take your money." Ben pushed his eldest son's hand of money away with a serious face. "If I wanted to make money, you wouldn't have seen me at all. I just need you to come and listen to my sermon. If you think what I say makes sense and you can keep the Lord in your heart, that would be even better."

The eldest son tried to push again, but he was no match for Ben, who blocked both of his hands with one hand.

"Don't insult me ​​with money anymore, or I'll get angry."

Seeing Ben so serious, the eldest son finally gave up giving the money. He put the money back and said to Ben respectfully, "Father, I will definitely go to your sermon."

Ben nodded, then left the room in silence.

Outside the door, Ulises stood in the void, quietly observing Ben's every move.

He saw Ben's emotions, and after rescuing him again and again, Ben's numb heart finally began to beat. Compassion, sympathy, sadness, anger...all kinds of emotions accumulated in Ben's heart, making him more silent.

And that's exactly what Richard and Ulises wanted.

A religious sect cannot consist of only sanctimonious liars; true saints are also an indispensable part of a religious sect.

Richard is a wizard, he is tolerant of aliens like goblins, but he will never have the same compassion from the bottom of his heart as saints. And Ulises is even more extreme than Richard, he is a racial god, he always treats the suffering of other races as a joke.

So they needed to train a saint to carry the sect's teachings. And Ben was their first attempt.

……

In the prayer room, Alvin stroked the wall inch by inch. As a knight of the church, his prosthetic limbs were made by the best craftsmen of the Church of the Lord of All Machines, using the most top-secret technology.

His arms are equipped with multiple interfaces and can be adapted to almost any prosthetic plug-in produced by the Church of the Lord of All Machines.

In order to investigate the cause of Father Orson's disappearance, he proposed to apply for a set of detection plug-ins as an aid.

After such careful exploration, Alvin soon found the place where Richard had repaired it. But Alvin did not seem to notice anything unusual, and he continued to explore.

However, Alvin soon stopped.

As soon as he thought about it, a transmitter appeared on his arm. A deep red laser shot out from the transmitter and easily cut through the wall of the Prayer City. The corresponding position of the wall was exactly where the steam pipe that had leaked was.

"really."

Looking at the steam pipe repaired by Richard, Alvin showed a hint of understanding on his face.

In front of him was a rusty steam pipe. Due to years of disrepair, steam leaked faintly from many locations on the pipe. But on this rusty pipe, there was a point that was obviously different from the rest of the pipe.

There was no rust on this spot, or the rust was very light. Compared with the steam pipes that were almost rusted around it, it looked like a piece of it was cut from a new pipe and then installed on this pipe.

Alvin touched the spot lightly, a hint of surprise showing on his face.

In his opinion, there are generally only two ways to repair pipes. One is to replace the pipes, and the other is welding.

But there was no trace of welding at the spot in front of him. It was as if there was a magical force that made the metal deform by itself, removed the rust, and healed itself.

This is incredible, it is simply a method that only the Lord of All Things can have. With such a method, it should not be difficult to repair the wall perfectly.

After welding the wall, Alvin turned to the church laboratory, where several of his team members were searching every corner of the laboratory.

"Don't look any further, I'm sure someone has come to the prayer room."

Several other knights of the religion stopped their actions upon hearing this.

"Who did it?"

Alvin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the other party's methods are very strange. Their style is not like those monsters in the Church of the Lord of Flesh and Blood."

After hearing their captain's judgment, the several knights who were protecting the religion fell silent.

The best outcome of this incident is that it was done by the Church of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, because the two churches have been hostile to each other for tens of thousands of years and do not care about adding a little more hatred.

But if it wasn’t done by the Church of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, then things would be complicated.

There are only two forces in the entire kingdom that have the ability to capture a bishop silently: one is the royal court, and the other is the church.

Even the knights who defended the religion had heard about the conflict between Bishop Tyre and the Royal Court Faction. Getting involved in the fight between the two would not be a good thing for them.

"What should we do, Captain?" a knight asked in a low voice.

Alvin shook his head. "I don't know, but I feel that things are more complicated than we thought. Although the Royal Court faction has been gaining momentum, the Cardinals' Court is still in the hands of the Church faction.

As Bishop Tyre is the leader of the church faction, the Royal Court faction should not be foolish enough to kidnap his students.

Students can be recruited, but once power and benefits are given away, they can never be taken back. This kind of thing that will only create more hatred without any benefit should not be done by the Wangting faction."

This matter was full of weirdness, and even Alvin, who was always smart, was a little confused.

After thinking for a long time, Alvin spoke again: "Continue to investigate Bishop Orson's daily life. Bello, Golinden, you two go to investigate that noble. Imilo, Loren, you two go to investigate whether there is a cult in this city.

If there are, we can help them grow stronger and put the blame on them.”
