Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 210 Praise the God of Myriad Machines!

October 1st, 18 noon.

when!when!when!
As always, twelve bells rang in a row, and white steam spewed out from the chimneys at the top of St. Roselle Church. The hymns of praise were accompanied by the rotation of huge gears and levers, echoing inside and outside.

On Russell Square outside the church, all pedestrians stopped at this sacred moment.

Audrey was also among them, followed by her personal maid Annie, and Susie who was quietly squatting aside.

"I hope everything goes well." Audrey lowered her eyebrows slightly and whispered.

Just as she was thinking, Audrey suddenly felt something—someone was watching her.

She quietly glanced to the right from the corner of her eye. Far away from the crowd, there was a lady in a long black dress.Her face was covered with a thin black veil, which made it difficult to see clearly.But Audrey was sure that the other party was secretly observing her.

Audrey folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, but she quietly stroked the ring on her right index finger with her left hand.

Nearby is St. Roselle Church, where not only the archbishop of the saint level, but also the great sage of the Church of Steam is in it.If the other party really wanted to do something, she would immediately take Anne and the others to the church.

Seemingly noticing Audrey's small movements, the lady in a black veil and black dress just let out a low laugh.Her laughter was not loud, but for some reason, it seemed to reach Audrey's ears just right.

She knew that Audrey had discovered her peeping, but she didn't care, and never wanted to hide it.

Moreover, Audrey was not her target.

"Is this ring given to you by your husband?"

Audrey looked at the lady who was walking slowly, and a soft voice came from beside her ear.

Audrey didn't show any unnecessary expressions, but just showed a polite smile and said politely:

"It was a coming-of-age gift from my friend."

She didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to her, but this made Audrey even more vigilant.

Intuition told her that the lady in front of her was definitely not simple.

And for any Extraordinary, they will not doubt their intuition.Because their intuition is not only intuition, but also a spiritual warning!

"Friend? A coming-of-age gift?"

Although the expression could not be seen clearly through the black veil, Audrey still caught a hint of playfulness in the lady's eyes.

"I should go, see you next time."

The lady glanced at the church where the bells had stopped, smiled and waved to Audrey.

But before Audrey could react, this lady was already one step ahead of her, walking towards the St. Roselle Church in front of her.

"Ash Black?"

The lady in the black skirt whispered the name in her heart, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

That's a really good name.

"What the hell is she trying to do?"

Audrey watched the lady in the black dress walk into the church, she couldn't help being stunned, and she doubted her own judgment.

Could it be that she is a little too sensitive?

The other party might really be just an ordinary steam believer who happened to come to the Church of Steam to pray on this day.

As for why he peeked at her, it wasn't too strange in itself.

In Backlund, there were often people who did this, but most of them were men.And after peeping was discovered, he didn't panic, but took the initiative to talk to him. This is not something difficult to understand.

The girl frowned slightly. Although the logic made sense, she always felt that something was wrong...
-
Inside St. Roselle Church, embers board a special train that stops inside the church.

Ember was sure that this was the special train that brought them to Intis yesterday, but only one day had passed, but the appearance inside the special train was quite different.Originally full of luxurious boxes and full of sleepers, the compartments were filled with seats, and most of these seats were also full of people.

They are all members of the Mechanical Heart, including Ikanser and others from the Kingdom of Loen.

For them, the purpose of entering the painting world is obviously different from that of embers, which seems to have more special meanings for them.

when!
At the moment when the bell outside the church stopped, a bell suddenly sounded inside the church, accompanied by pious singing:

"Strike the bell once, push the lever, start the piston and pump!"

On the steam train, the expressions of all the Mechanical Heart members became extremely devout.

when!
Another bell rang through the church.

"Sing the bell twice, push the button, fire the engine, ignite the turbo, and breathe life into it!"

Woo~!

The front of the special train sprays mist, and the melodious siren sound heralds the departure of the journey.

when!
"Toll the big bell three times, sing in unison, and praise the God of Myriad Chances!"

"Praise the God of Myriad Machines!"

"Praise the God of Myriad Machines!"

Inside the carriage, the members of the Mechanical Heart all praised reverently.

After the prayer was over, the special train started slowly and moved forward slowly along the track.

At the same time, after finishing his prayer, Ikanser looked at Ember, probably thinking that he was puzzled, and lowered his voice to explain:
"This is a prayer ceremony inside the Church of Steam. It is not open to the public and will only be used during major ceremonies."

"Praise the God of Myriad Opportunities?" Ember's expression was slightly subtle.

"Cough cough."

Ikanser coughed twice, and said vaguely: "This is also proposed by Emperor Roselle. He has always hoped that the Church of Steam will be renamed as the Mechanic God, and that the god will change his honorable name to the God of Myriad Machines. This kind of rude The request was of course rejected by the great sage, but the ceremony was preserved..."

The God of Steam and Machinery used to be the God of Craftsmen, and it was changed to the current name of God under the influence of Emperor Roselle.But this is obviously not in line with the wishes of Emperor Roselle, so he has always insisted on changing the Church of Steam into the Mechanic God, and changing the God of Steam and Machinery into the God of Myriad Machines.Even for this reason, they have been carrying out various religious ceremonies of "praising the God of Myriad Opportunities" within the Church of Steam, which can be said to be unswerving.

The god of steam and machinery obviously didn't agree to Emperor Roselle's 'nonsense', but he didn't refuse either—

Undoubtedly, he may not be disgusted with the title of "God of Myriad Opportunities", otherwise such a set of rituals would not be allowed to be handed down, and it would still be spread openly among the core members of the Church of Steam.

"Perhaps he wanted to become the 'God of Myriad Opportunities', but he was hindered by some obstacles?"

Ember had already had a faint guess in his heart. Maybe the God of Steam and Machinery didn't want to become the "God of All Machines", but it should be hindered by some forces, or maybe he didn't have enough confidence or strength to become In the real "God of All Opportunities", that's why it has always been secretly promoted within the church, rather than publicly announced.

Changing one's honorable name may also have some kind of taboo factor among the true gods.

For example, the honorable name of the goddess of the night is:

Higher than the stars, and more ancient than eternity, Goddess of the Night, you are Lord of Scarlet, Mother of Secrets, Queen of Calamity and Fear, Lord of Sleep and Silence.

It contains not only the goddess of night, but also the lord of scarlet, the mother of secrets, the queen of calamity and fear, the lord of sleep and silence.

The moment the Evernight Goddess took these honorable names, other true gods had to shy away from similar honorable names.At least until now, the seven righteous gods have not had any overlap in honor and name with each other.

Even though the God of War and the Evernight Goddess were hostile to each other, they never gambled their honorable names to win the Evernight Goddess' honorable name.Similarly, Eternal Blazing Sun and Lord of Storms are also hostile to each other, but they never use their honorable names to confront each other head-on.

This reminds Ember of the ancient Sun God, whose honorable name is:
O Creator of all things, you are the all-knowing and omnipotent; you are the source of all greatness; you are the beginning and the end; you are the god of gods; you are the ruler of the vast astral world.

'The Omnipotent', 'God of the Gods', 'Ruler of the Vast Star Realm', it can be judged from the name alone that the strength of the ancient sun god is far higher than the seven existing righteous gods!

But when the 'Ancient Sun God' fell, the newly born real Creator obviously inherited the title of 'Creator', but he did not dare to inherit all the honorable names of the Ancient Sun God, but changed his honorary name to:
Creator of all, Lord behind the veil of shadows, the fallen nature of all living beings.

There is no doubt that this series of honorable names are all related to the corresponding authority of the true gods.

"In other words, the authority held by the god of steam and machinery is not enough to make him the god of all machines?"

Ember tapped the table lightly with her index finger, as if realizing something.

If the god of steam and machinery wants to become the true god of all machines, he may have to reach the height of the ancient sun god.But if he could really do all this, the Church of Steam would not be the weakest of the Seven Great Churches of God.

Of course, it is also possible that what the god of steam and machinery lacks is not authority, but a name——

Ohm Messiah.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Ember seemed to have realized something, Ikanser couldn't help asking.

In fact, his heart was a little beating. Could it be that what he said just now gave Ember the idea of ​​blasphemy?If this is the case, wouldn't he be a sinner of the Church of Steam?
"It's nothing."

Ember shook her head, denied it categorically, and cast her gaze out the window.

The winding track continues to extend inside the church, and all of this undoubtedly uses a change in the rules of physics, because there is obviously no such a large area inside the Saint-Roselle Church to lay such a long track.

And through the car window, Ember can already see the end of the track extending to the left——

It was a huge door nearly 80 meters high. On the two closed doors, a huge triangular holy emblem was engraved, and the solid triangle was filled with symbols such as steam, gears, and levers.

That is the symbol of the god of steam and machinery!

Rumble!
The special train was moving closer along the track, and the giant door was also in the process. Amidst the rotation of the gears and the roar of the engine and turbine, the door slowly opened to the inside.

And the track also leads all the way to the inside of the huge [-]-meter-high portal.

The inside of the gate is not dim, but is filled with bright sun rays.

But when he raised his head, he couldn't see the trace of the sun. He could only see the majestic dome that was taller than the portal and over [-] meters!
And under the sunlight, Ember could easily see the scene inside the huge hall——

At the end of the tunnel, there is a magnificent mural almost as high as the dome.

Ember has already recognized the essence of that 'mural' without other people's 'explaining', it is a painting world!
Woo~!

The special train let out a melodious siren sound again, and accelerated suddenly as it passed through the winding track and the front of the car was facing the entrance of the gate.

Ember has lost her vision of the painting world, but she can clearly feel the emotion of 'excitement'.

It's not his mood, it's the train's mood, it's excited!

bang!bang!bang!

The special train galloped by, rushing through the gate at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary steam trains, rushing towards the mural at the end of the hall!
boom!
No one stopped, and no one reminded, the front of the car hit the mural in a straight line.

However, there were no car crashes, deaths or derailment of special trains.

Because the front of the car dragged all the carriages connected to it, they entered the 'mural' together!
Woohoo~!Woooooo~! ! !

The whistle of the special train began to sound like some kind of cheerful music, resounding throughout the entire train, so that everyone could feel the excitement of the special train.

And at the moment of walking through the painting, everyone's vision is 'refreshed', including the embers.

There is still bright and warm sunlight overhead, but the original [-]-meter-high dome has long since disappeared.The special train is still galloping on the track, but the track is suspended above the sky, and there are floating white clouds below, but there is no support at all!

The track suspended in the air is constantly extending forward with a certain curve, and there is no end in sight.But at the rear of the car, in the direction they came from, there is still a winding track that continues to extend backwards, but there are no traces of domes and palaces.

Below the special train, there are countless towering chimneys that spew out a lot of white mist, and countless cities composed of various mechanical parts such as gears, levers, steel, and bearings. They are like islands suspended in the boundless sea. Standing on the barren land!
"Miracle! This is a miracle!"

Ikanser looked at the 'cities' advancing continuously below, with excitement and fanaticism visible to the naked eye.And not just him, all members of the Mechanical Heart have the same fanaticism on their faces.

They are all entering the painting world for the first time, and for most of the members of the mechanical heart, they only have such a chance in their life.

But when Ember saw this scene, she didn't feel any joy, instead she frowned.

The content of this painting world looks quite steampunk and extremely magical.

But this world is the same as the painting world of the Aurora Society, giving him almost the same feeling. This is just an unqualified fake.

Ember was silent, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't plan to go home just like that.

He intends to see the core of this world, the place where the 'fire' is kept—

if it exists.

Woo~!

The melodious siren sounded again, and Ember looked forward through the window.

At some point, they had arrived at a station.
