Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

671

Intis, Trier.

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

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

Unlike Backlund, the "City of Ten Thousand Capitals", which always carries a lingering sense of majesty and history, when it comes to Trier, the first thing that comes to mind is usually "art", "prosperity" and " Romantic. The inner city where the royal palace and parliamentary government are located is the most prosperous place. In normal times, licensed poets and painters can be seen displaying their skills in the squares and streets. Unlike the "government areas" protected by guards and high walls, the inner city is a place accessible to most nobles and wealthy people, and the middle class can also live in the periphery.

On ordinary nights, the warm yellow light of gas lamps illuminates the streets and alleys. Even when passing by, you can smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers and wine.

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

Backlund is now under martial law, and due to the high-sequence battles taking place in the palace area, all people with some status have been transferred to various shelters as soon as possible. But there are still people walking around the streets of Trier. Driven by responsibility and five times their wages, the Extraordinaries of the Church of Steam run around the city with their alchemy dolls, attracting frequent glances from the citizens.

However, as Trier's extraordinary power has begun to spread, alchemy dolls, huge metal facilities, and church members with incredible power can be seen all over the city this month. The citizens only watch and marvel, and there is no more information. Many reactions.

The alchemy dolls held long black cables, and the Extraordinaries directed them. Sometimes they climbed onto street lamps and sometimes went into sewers with pipes. I heard that this is a new product of the Church of Steam and Mechanics, which can harness the power of lightning, wind and water for its own use.

It is said that the power of thunder and lightning itself can be harnessed, and when the wind blows and water flows, it carries energy, so it can drive windmills and waterwheels to grind flour. Irena didn't know, her craftsmanship skills had never been very good, but she still thought it sounded awesome.

The Church of Steam swears that these devices will be cleaner than coal gas and have a wider range of applications. As for danger—danger? Are there not many incidents where the gas was forgotten to turn off and the entire building rose to the ground? The church can guarantee that even if you forget to turn off the electric energy valve, the new energy will only allow you to ascend to heaven alone! ——However, using these types of materials is undoubtedly a direct throw in the face of the Lord of Storms and the Church of Storms. The senior officials have differences on the issue of doing less rather than doing more. Therefore, the Church of Steam also went through several rounds of voting and meetings... In the end, it was the Storm Lord's first move against Intis that made them completely determined.

The sky is getting darker.

Irena stood on the small platform of the Cathedral of Light. The building radiated light under a sky so gloomy that it seemed like it would fall down.

She raised her head, looked at the sky, and had her own extremely small thoughts.

Then, the shadow under her feet slowly stood up, and a man in a bright red robe stepped out of it.

Mr. A imitated her previous look and stared into the distance, and then suddenly exploded into a shadow of flesh and mud all over the ground. Ms. D, who was half-blooded by the explosion, suppressed her distorted expression and used to purify this pool of flesh and blood very habitually. And the priest's calming movements squeezed the flesh and shadow back into a ball.

"I just wanted 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 now, but the sun is neither here nor in the sky."

"The Lord is indeed neither here nor in heaven." Irena purified the blood that was spattered on her body. "Didn't the Lord say that he went to a very far place? It seems that he is going to where the chosen people are. We just need to protect them. Just be good Intis.”

Groups of flesh and blood gathered near Mr. A's head, and he "grew" out of the shadows. The flesh and blood allowed him to grow a body, and by the way, the red robe also grew out.

You Bishop Rose really... Irena once again turned her head away as usual. She wondered why her colleagues were interrupting 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.

"Did you hear the sound of water?"

Irena suddenly asked: "Listen, the sound of water is getting louder and louder. Is the drainage system damaged?"

Mr. A thought for a while with a brain that had never been infiltrated by knowledge, and nodded solemnly: "Maybe."

Irena also realized that her question was in vain. She raised her hand to weave a ray of sunshine, and this golden light flew far away, towards the direction of the Church of Steam: "Their extraordinary people are still laying cables. If the underground river If something goes wrong, they should respond immediately.”

The God of Steam and Machinery left behind a huge canopy when he left. This canopy protected Intis from being disturbed by the escaping spirituality of the gods, and also blocked most of the negative effects, allowing the people of Intis to still survive. Walking on the streets, there is no need to worry about sudden death or being struck by lightning. It can be seen from the fact that Mr. A peeked under the sky at the battlefield of the gods, only to explode instead of being contaminated.

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

Several mechanisms on the back of the alchemy doll moved to form several stable steps. A member of the "Mechanical Heart" stepped up the steps, raised his hand to take off the lampshade of the gas street lamp, and unscrewed the screw bolt. He took off the lamp holder and handed it over to another person in an orderly manner.

A lot of people gradually gathered around. The citizens of Trier raised their heads and looked at the actions of the "Mechanical Heart" in surprise and curiosity. The bolder children stared intently at the two-meter-tall multifunctional alchemy machine. Doll, I am probably already thinking about how to join the Church of Steam and Mechanics and how to obtain such a doll.

Then, they began to experimentally modify the street lamp.

A small area around the area has been laid with a simple power network. The Beyonder with the Mechanical Heart jumped off the alchemy doll, and with the help of the other party, he cut the lamp post, replaced the pipeline, and connected the slender wire wrapped in black gel. The cable was put in. Then, he took out a curved tubular object from the suitcase. It was transparent and seemed to be made of glass, with strange metal wires inside.

People's eyes widened in curiosity and they moved forward to take a closer look at what it was.

"After debugging it several times in the laboratory, it can be successful." said an extraordinary person.

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

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

The Extraordinary holding the tube praised the God of Steam in a low voice. Then he stepped on the back of the alchemy doll and walked to a higher place. He connected the object in his hand to the specified lamp holder, wires and metal. This thing is much larger than a gas lamp, and a new lampshade must be made to order.

After installing it, they exchanged a few words among themselves, and then one of them opened the box connected to the circuit, took a deep breath, and pushed up one of the switches.

Stab, sting!

Silver-white current and blue sparks flashed past, but before people screamed for the power of the foreign god, the transparent tube suddenly lit up, and the black metal wire in the center of the tube burned until it turned red. , and then suddenly lit up with a blazing white light.

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

——The world suddenly changed at this moment.

It is still the sky as dark as dawn, it is still Trier, the royal capital for thousands of years, it is still ordinary humans and ordinary extraordinary people. But at this time, they were surrounding a bright light that had never been seen before with an almost pilgrim expression and eyes. This lamp is lit with the inviolable power of God, emitting unprecedented light and brightness. It is controlled by a few ordinary-looking black metal wires. Its usage principle is not much different from that of gas lamps, but it is far more powerful than just lighting. The gas lamp was much brighter beneath my feet. Even a toddler has the strength to flip the switch.

Then, one after another new street lights came on, illuminating the entire street.

People could hardly open their eyes, and for the first time they felt that the street lights seemed a bit dense.

The white light also illuminated Irena's eyes.

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

"It looks familiar." Mr. A said, "It looks like the moon that day."

"Yeah, it's a bit similar." Irena rarely had something in common with Mr. A. "Perhaps, it will have a special meaning..."

The Beyonder from the "Mechanical Heart" team was the first to react, because the lamp began to heat up and burned the palm of his hand. He quickly moved his hand away, jumped off the alchemy doll, and said loudly: "Success! Hurry! Let me know!"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

"I've already seen it."

A voice that was so smooth that it seemed a little cold sounded in the ears of this team.

The figure of Bonova Gustave appeared at the end of the street. He raised his hand, and the ground of the entire city rippled like water.

Trier came to life, the underground metal supports slowly came to life, and the steam trains stopped in the station turned on their headlights.

Including street lights, countless metal pipes and metal frames came to life. The city planning and reconstruction drawings prepared by the Church of Steam were printed in Bonova's mind. He took half a step forward, and his fingers were like playing an invisible piano. , methodically changing the nature of the surrounding environment and facilities.

And this earth-shaking change only brought about subtle earthquakes. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, people wouldn't even realize what was happening.

Under His macro-control, changes began to occur everywhere in Trier at the same time - the gas street lamps went out one after another, automatically disassembling and reorganizing into the latest electric lamps; the ground separated like a zipper opened by invisible hands, and cables Wires and pipes are naturally buried; the gas meter hanging on the wall is rapidly updating itself in a corner invisible to the user. The steam train takes off its bulky shell, boiler and external combustion engine like a snake, and gradually grows into The new shell is infinitely close to the appearance of the "subway" in Russell's creative manuscript...

A few minutes later, Trier's facilities had been completely renovated, and the entire city instantly took on a more "old-era" appearance. Even the spacing between street lights was adjusted to the most appropriate distance.

After confirming that all the equipment in the entire city can operate normally, and that if everything goes well, electricity can be installed in households within the next two months, an abstract door appeared next to Bonova, and he walked in and went to Another large city in Intis.

As soon as He left, another person appeared in the crowd behind Him.

An old man wearing a strange mask stood there. He appeared very suddenly, but the people around him were not surprised at all, as if this man had been standing here from the beginning, but was only noticed now.

The corners of the old man's mouth were raised, and he was in a good mood. He looked at an "Electrical Safety Instruction Manual" in his hand, and his smile became more obvious.

"What a trick..."

He closed his eyes and sank into the ocean of the collective mind. Like a postman, he delivered normal usage instructions to the hearts of the people around him. He also came with a copy of "An analysis of electricity and how the authority of gods can be exploited." short essay.

People's panic and uneasiness quickly decreased, and they gradually began to become interested in such new energy sources. More and more people gathered near the "Mechanical Heart" team. While praising the God of Machinery, they curiously asked whether similar energy sources could be used in their own homes.

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

He rode up, took out a postman's dark green parcel from nowhere, and leisurely rode further and further into the ocean of subconsciousness.

Sometimes He appears in the ocean of subconsciousness, and sometimes He enters the dreams of others. Mail after mail is delivered, turning into words and a potential thought, slowly affecting the thoughts of the citizens of Trier.

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

In the next short period of time, the number of people accepting it will increase exponentially.

…

Astral realm.

The huge metal creation that is as stationary as a statue is also slowly changing. The "Perfector" symbolizes the development of technology, and all technological developments will also feed back to Him.

His metal shell with a strong sense of the times began to show a silvery white luster. Newer smelting techniques created stronger metals, and the appearance of the god also began to be updated accordingly. The dim yellow searchlight light gradually became pure white and clear, the billowing black smoke gradually became thinner, the boiling boiler and the huge amount of white steam gradually flickered with blue sparks, and the looming wind and water were also Imprisoned in it.

The God of Steam and Machinery conveys pleasant messages in its operating circuits. The number of prayers and his own abilities are slowly increasing. The Hidden Sage avoids the battle and retreats, which makes his furnace heart a little brighter.

Next, just wait for Medici's signal.

In His chest, the original witch still lowered her head and was tied to the metal torture rack. The fire of judgment from the sun made Chike unable to move. And Medici, who has rich experience in schizophrenia that others cannot imagine, is fighting to the death with Him mentally.

In the spiritual world.

The original witch and the God of War sat opposite each other. There was a table in front of them, and they each held several cards in their hands.

Chick smiled like a cobra showing its fangs. He took out a card from his hand and threw it on the table:

"The Great Plague of Backlund."

Medici shouted disdainfully: "Pain? Or despair?"

He put the other cards aside casually, held a card between his index and middle fingers, and turned it over:

"The Feast of Betrayal."

boom!

The two portraits behind the original witch suddenly burned. The black-haired and black-eyed beauty on the picture slowly transformed. The flames burned her long red hair, and the smile on the beauty's face gradually changed from sinister contempt to arrogant disdain.

In terms of "pain" and "despair", the scope and subsequent impact caused by Medici far exceed that of the relatively low-key original witch.

Chike felt that if he competed in the role of "Doomsday", he might also be beaten - because the Feast of Betrayal is the most terrifying doomsday that has happened on the earth in the past five eras!

"Medici, you have played five games with this card."

Chike's snake hair hissed: "...Does the majestic God of War have no other deeds besides this?"

Red Angel laughed and said:

"Don't worry."
