Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 Standing among the ruins and bones, Lawrence lit a lantern and began to look at the diary in front of him. Or simply put, a memory of the last time of the organization Scarlet Sky left by a certain fugitive.

This mage was just one of their re-recruited members of the underground organization after Scarlet Sphere was broken up. After this organization was destroyed a hundred years ago, many people fled and lurked everywhere. This group of people remembered themselves. Faith, ready to make a comeback at any time.

However, after these fugitives finally got rid of the chase, they realized that it was too difficult to rebuild the church. Let’s not talk about being chased down by the church and the Federation, nor that the entire leadership was basically caught up in a large amount. Loss of material contact locations and even personal connections. For them, these are small problems. The real big problem is that God is gone.

　　 Yes, although it sounds a bit funny to a church that the gods are missing, it is a fact that must be faced for the organization of Scarlet Sky. The Cthulhu Church often chooses to worship all kinds of strange things, and the cult organization Scarlet Sky, as a god, worships a fallen splicing ancestor spirit.

　　 That leader, also the founder of Scarlet Sky, was just an ordinary agricultural church priest when he first came to the New World, but he chose to fall after not knowing what happened.

　　 The priests after the fall directly slaughtered several tribes of the aborigines and looted the guardian spirits of those tribes, and then contaminated these guardian spirits through blood sacrifices and a series of complex magic rituals and then put them together.

　　Finally, the newly released leader connects himself and the fallen splicing ancestor spirit together in the soul, so that the leader can use these ancestral spirits as an intermediary to strengthen himself by absorbing the power of belief that humans cannot absorb. At the same time, through this ancestral spirit, the leader can also show various miracles and give those cult backbones the power to use magic.

　　 However, it is still too difficult to control the authority of the gods as a human being, especially the medium he chose is far from the real gods. Under such circumstances, with the increase in strength, the leader also became more and more crazy because of the backlash of the fallen splicing ancestral spirit and the poison of faith.

　　 Until the end, he tried to hold a large blood sacrifice in a certain city to sacrifice the entire city to make himself godly. As a result, the guardians of the White Eagle Federation and the various churches were fortunate to discover this conspiracy in advance, and then there was an ambush with an elite effort and a large-scale cleanup coordinated by all parties in the entire New World area.

　　 In that operation, all the elites were exhausted. After the battle was over, in addition to the Scarlet Sky Leader and the high-level churches, those who had been completely wiped out included the ancestor spirit that had been a deity and was also a sanctuary-level fallen splicing ancestor. At the same time, the strongholds in the **** sky were also destroyed one by one.

　　 Therefore, when these remnants of the scarlet firmament escaped to reorganize the organization. They found that they had almost nothing but an empty title.

This has led to more behaviors in the subsequent reconstruction work. For example, the missionary work was extremely unsuccessful. After all, this is a world where extraordinary powers are revealed to the world. A **** who cannot be given magic arts to show miracles cannot be attracted at all. believer.

　　 So these remaining Crimson Sky members thought of an alternative plan. They immediately stopped the low-efficiency and easily exposed mission, and then concentrated all their power and began to study a way to release magic without magic. It is hoped that through this method, a group of special preachers will be cultivated to recast their faith, and then the gods in their hearts will return.

　　 This process has lasted for several decades. With the previous savings, the **** sky has really attracted many extraordinary people with unsatisfactory lives to work for them. Under the circumstances of turning into the dark in this way, the blood-colored sky had a peaceful life.

　　 However, large-scale organized extraordinary research is really too much movement, and their experiments also require a large number of innocent people as experimental samples. The missing persons naturally attracted the attention of various churches and federations. With a lot of people talking, these studies and the research bases were finally made public.

　　 The mage who fell here was just a middle-level member of the **** sky. When the Federation and the various churches found the last gathering spot of the Scarlet Sky and carried out encirclement and suppression, a certain strength but humble he was selected as a seed to bring those research results to the forefront.

　　Unexpectedly, a search team followed up shortly after he came out and hid here. After a fierce battle, both sides died together. Then the place was kept in dust for decades, until Lawrence rediscovered it today.

　　 The puppet who fought with Lawrence before fleeing here protected the mage, but in the battle that broke out here that year, the energy consumption in the puppet's body was basically consumed and the structure was seriously damaged.

In such a situation, even if it can still restart after Lawrence enters the room according to the set procedure, it has tried to counterattack by drawing the blood of the berserk rat to complete the basic armed forces, but various problems make it unable to perform 1% of the year. The power of Lawrence was easily resolved by Lawrence.

　　 After reading the entire diary, Lawrence finally understood how the Scarlet Firmament organization disappeared in history and what it did before it disappeared.

　　 Of course, this is different from what Lawrence had seen from The Extraordinary History of the White Eagle Federation, but considering that the Extraordinary History of the White Eagle Federation is public information, it is normal for some things to be hidden.

　　 "In other words, this space bag contains the research results of the **** sky." Lawrence muttered while checking the space in this small space bracelet. The rest of this space is basically filled by boxes of the same size, and Lawrence just saw that this notebook is the only thing outside the box.

　　 took out a few boxes and opened them. He found that the boxes were mainly filled with extraordinary materials that were common and not too low in value. Lawrence can understand why these things are in the box, because these things are the easiest to shoot and least noticeable in the circle of transcendents. As a fugitive, this is very important.

　　Opening the box, most of the materials in it have completely decayed in a long time, but there are still very few animal and vegetable raw materials and almost all mineral raw materials have survived. It's just that Lawrence feels regretful that, in order to prevent the tracked person from locking some information through the origin, these easily preserved mineral raw materials are scattered and scarce.

After losing more than 95% of the damaged materials, Lawrence finally found more than a dozen books in the bottom box~www.ltnovel.com~ After reading it briefly, he confirmed that this was what he wanted. Spell information found.

　　 I flipped through a few books, and Lawrence regretted to find that these precious extraordinary knowledge were of little use to him. On the one hand, the spells recorded in it are all methods of using the power of the lower space after communicating with the lower space through a large number of blood sacrifices. This evil casting method is completely incompatible with the blood of Lawrence White Ze.

　　 On the other hand, if you want to use this kind of magic, you must modify your body through a series of magic rituals. This kind of transformation will make people lose the ability to use ordinary magic. Of course, this will not affect those who do not have magical talents themselves.

　　I want to come to Scarlet Sky in the past and hope that through this method, ordinary people with insufficient talent can master extraordinary powers, and then further preach to revive their so-called gods.

　　Of course, Lawrence also saw the biggest problem with these methods, that is, as the learning of spells continues to deepen, they need to get in-depth contact with those lower levels, which will cause the whole person to fall from soul to body.

　　If his inference is okay, people who practice these magics up to the official level will completely transform into creatures in the lower space and become puppets of the plane consciousness of the lower space, completely losing themselves.

"It seems that these things can only be taken to the church to see what can be exchanged." Lawrence shrugged after checking all the books. It seems that this time he can't learn from this mage's treasure. What a useful thing. If he was a senior mage, maybe he could gain any knowledge from it. But as a warlock with a relatively low transcendent level, it is the right thing to get rid of these things as soon as possible and replace them with resources that they can use now.
