Chapter 398 Faith in the Sun
Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, is the capital of the Republic of Intis. Because of the rise of the God of Machinery and Steam, and the story between Him and Roselle, it has to be told.
The degree of mechanization here is more popular than Backlund in Loen.
From airships that use steam and extraordinary power to alarm clocks in ordinary people's homes.
Many places here show the side of steel and gears.
Even the carriages that carry passengers are made of steel as the skeleton, and then equipped with chains, gears, wheels, and finally horses that can provide suitable power.
There are also iron box cars that can move forward without horses as power, but the speed is still very slow, and it is far less swift and free than the carriages.
But it has initially revealed the side of future technology.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, the crimson moon was shining, and Hastur and Sharon walked on the streets of the West District of Trier.
Unlike the West District of Backlund, the richest and most prosperous area of Trier is in the East District.
According to the people here, Emperor Roselle particularly likes the east, so he deliberately respects the east and builds the east district into the best neighborhood.
The customs of Intis are different from those of Backlund, which is known for its conservatism. Sharon's black court dress is out of tune with other girls walking around.
Some people even came up to talk to Sharon and asked which clothing store she had this retro dress custom-made in.
Words such as retro, outdated, the dregs of the times, cumbersome, rigid, feudal and unfree are the evaluations of Sharon's clothes by Intis girls.
Even Sharon, who has never had much emotion, is a little more angry at this moment. When Hasta suggested whether to follow the local customs and buy a few sets of Intis-style clothes to wear, Sharon frowned and glared at him, looking very angry.
"I personally always think that this kind of exquisite and beautiful court dress is better looking, elegant and generous, and much better than those casually showing arms and thighs."
Hasta still has a desire to survive in this matter. Sure enough, Sharon's complexion has improved a lot, and her expression has softened a bit.
It turns out that Sharon still cares about this kind of opinion. That's right, which girl can tolerate her favorite dress being criticized by other girls.
Hasta understood and was very tactful, so he didn't mention these things.
After walking around the street for a while, Sharon stopped when she passed a clothing store that was still open. She was looking through the transparent screen window at the various thin and simple dresses and revealing women's underwear displayed to pedestrians on the street.
Hasta glanced at Sharon inadvertently and vaguely saw that Sharon's ear tips were slowly turning red. Finally, she retracted her gaze, calmed down, and pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.
Hasta also took a special look and couldn't help but sighed, feeling that Emperor Roselle really didn't leave any way for later travelers.
These dresses and women's underwear styles are not much different from the underwear stores in the previous life.
For Sharon, who has lived in Backlund for many years, such a naked shock is no less than a shock to the soul.
From bra wraps to tube tops to modern underwear, each advancement is more revealing and individual.
In this respect, it is indeed quite free.
Thinking of this, Hasta was a little curious whether the swimsuits in this world are the same as those in modern society.
Swimsuit version of Sharon?
With Sharon's personality, she would never dress like that.
Hasta felt a little pity.
When he retracted his gaze, Sharon, who had already taken two steps, was looking back at him with a scrutinizing look.
"Ahem, I'm just curious."
Hasta explained, and Sharon only gave him a look of "Do you think I believe you?".
"Haha, little girl, your boyfriend will be unhappy with your dress. Men prefer girls to wear less, but they can't not wear anything. How to dress appropriately is a profound knowledge."
A woman who just came out of a clothing store, dressed like a modern white-collar beauty, glanced at Sharon's dress and smiled and shared some experience with her.
Completely ignoring Hasta's presence.
With this topic, another passing wealthy merchant's wife also joined the topic.
"Women should be nicer to themselves, and buy new clothes and underwear frequently. Like me, I have to buy some new styles every month, otherwise the one at home would have run away and cheated on me."
"..."
Sharon opened her mouth slightly, as if she was shocked by the boldness of them discussing such things on the street. Finally, she glared at Hasta and signaled him to leave here with her quickly.
Hasta held back his smile, and before leaving, he specially thanked these two kind people for their teachings and answers.
After the episode, Sharon didn't have the interest to continue shopping, and she hid in the mirror as soon as she came back.
Hasta could only sigh that the style of Intis was indeed different. No wonder Emperor Roselle naturally integrated into this world, and even surpassed his master in this regard.
…
In the basement of a luxurious villa in the western district of Trier, there is a big black tree about five meters high. Its crown is on top of the reinforced ground, and its roots, which have nowhere to stretch, can only curl up in a ball.
The evil god Suea stood up from a root in the soil at this moment, staring at the top of the crown, the sun that was wrapped tightly and not a single ray of light was revealed.
For some reason, he suddenly had a premonition of something happening today, but he couldn't find out what exactly would happen, which woke him up from his deep sleep.
This is the capital of Intis, and the Church of the Eternal Sun is nearby. In order not to be discovered, he can only try to hide his information by sleeping.
But now, he was awakened.
Spiritual warnings will not deceive him, which means that there may be major changes in Intis in the future.
He did not peek blindly. If he peeked at a certain existence that could not be looked at directly, it would expose his current position.
Now, he can only hope that this change will come later.
It only takes another year or so, and the new sun that absorbs the faith of the Eternal Sun will be born.
At that time, even if the Eternal Sun descends again, it will not be able to change the overall situation.
The oracle he received was to hide in the dark and guard the birth of this new sun.
The god Ea looked at the motionless black tree again, lay back, and the whole person merged into the tree roots that were thicker than his body.
…
The Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
Recently, as the Kingdom of Loen declared war on the Fussack Empire, the Republic of Intis followed suit, and the priests of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun also became busy.
However, during this period, the Pope was not in the church, which led to irreconcilable conflicts among some bishops.
Originally, they all praised the sun, but now they are shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
When the bell for the Pope to convene a divine meeting rang an hour before dawn, all the bishops who were still in the capital Trier hurried to the church temple.
When the first rays of sunlight fell on the temple and flowed in from the stained glass, the Pope, who had disappeared for a while, put on the golden crown symbolizing the Pope again.
He just stood there quietly, like the incarnation of the sun, and everything around him became warm.
Here, any ice and darkness will be melted.
"God said that all heretics will be burned at the stake. Only on the stake will they cry and repent for their sins."
Ross Hurley looked around at the six bishops standing below, holding the Pope's staff in his right hand, with a golden ball of light on top emitting golden rainbow light, filling the entire temple.
Some sharp-eyed bishops found that this was a confinement technique to prevent people from escaping from here.
Similar means and similar occasions were staged once decades ago.
"God is merciful, but this does not mean that someone can rely on the mercy of the gods to betray their faith and blaspheme the gods."
The magnificent voice stirred the entire temple, and with a deep shout, two stakes rose from the ground, burning with golden flames.
"This is your last chance."
Ross Hurley's eyes swept over the six bishops with uncertain faces, but still no one chose to stand up.
"You have betrayed God's mercy and my trust."
With a whisper, two of the six bishops suddenly flew up by themselves, and flew towards the two prepared stakes with fear on their faces.
They tried desperately to struggle, but here, His Holiness the Pope, wearing a golden crown, was the incarnation of the sun.
"The new sun will surely rise!"
"The old and aging sun should sink into the boundless abyss. Haha, that is its final destination. The heaven is the kingdom of God that belongs to my Lord!"
The bishops, knowing that they were bound to die, shouted angrily and frantically.
Unfortunately, their voices were soon replaced by extreme screams.
The remaining four bishops looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on.
The new sun?
Could it be...
They couldn't help holding their breath, not daring to think any further, but their hands and feet gradually became cold.
It has only been a short time, and two bishops, right here, under the gaze of the gods, suddenly changed their original beliefs!
If His Holiness the Pope had not returned in time to deal with it, one day, the faith in the sun would no longer belong to the Eternal Sun.
