Chapter 187 Young Roselle, your black-hearted grandfather is online
Russell felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
After witnessing those who could summon beams of light leaving with the bodies of "monsters", Russell suddenly looked to the side with a hesitant and somewhat excited look, and hid in the dark with him to watch the magic Lin.
like.
If just now he thought that the person in front of him was not mysterious at all and did not look like a fortune teller at all, now Russell has completely believed that the person in front of him is really a brilliant fortune teller.
Even Lin Ruona's casual divination before was now actively understood by Russell as a master's demeanor. Because it was so powerful, there was no need for any bells and whistles, returning to nature or anything like that.
"Why, don't you think I'm a liar now?" Lin Ruo couldn't help but feel Russell's eyes, and immediately laughed.
"No, why do I think you are a liar?" Russell laughed shamelessly when his previous thoughts were exposed. Then he remembered something and introduced himself: "By the way, master, my name is Russell, Russell...
Gustave, what do you call me master?"
Although there is no word master in Intis common language, it does have a similar meaning, so Russell naturally used it.
After all, if he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, Russell still expected to gain knowledge about extraordinary power from him.
"You don't need to call me master, my name is Rody, I'm just a passing occult enthusiast." Lin Ruo replied with a smile, looked at Russell in front of him, and said: "If you want to learn some mysteries from me,
If you want to learn knowledge, I don’t mind giving you some popular science, but this isn’t a good place for communication, is it?”
"Perhaps we can go out of the woods and talk."
Russell's eyes lit up. He was not only happy that he could learn about occult knowledge from Lin Ruo, but also happy that he could finally end his fate of being lost.
Of course, Russell was not without any vigilance in his heart. After all, Lin Ruo's appearance was too coincidental and his attitude was too ambiguous. But his curiosity about extraordinary power, his sense of superiority as a time traveler, and his sense of alienation from the world were still
Jean Russell quickly suppressed that vigilance.
Lin Ruo fiddled with the branches in her hands, and soon led Russell to the edge of the woods, where he met the servants who were looking for Russell.
"Oh, Master, that's great, you're okay!" The guy who was probably the valet suddenly met Russell, his expression even more excited.
This is not surprising, after all, if something happens to Russell, it would be better if not one of these servants is left behind.
"Of course I'm fine, what can I do!" Russell waved his hand, dismissed the manservant, and then motioned to Lin Ruo, saying: "This is Mr. Roldi, my friend, he will be at home
I'm a guest, so prepare yourself."
After saying that, he thought of something else. He looked at Lin Ruo nervously and said, "Well, Mr. Roldi, you don't mind visiting my house, right?"
"Of course I don't mind." Lin Ruo smiled. Of course he didn't mind visiting Russell's house. After all, he would go there sooner or later.
If he could directly confirm what the traces of this historical phantom were, he would be able to wander around with more confidence in the future.
So just like that, a few people started their return journey.
Lin Ruo also took this opportunity to observe the current social landscape.
If the real world is the steam age started by Russell, it is the age of machinery and industry. This era when Russell has just traveled through and has not done anything yet is undoubtedly like the medieval times described in knight novels.
.
Everything seems to be slow, with the unique slow pace of the old era. The streets are not clean at all. You can even smell a faint odor in some streets, but because of the pollution caused by industry,
, the sky is very clear.
Everything here seems to be very different from reality, but also seems to be the same, such as the clearly visible gap between commoners and nobles, and the church that can be seen from a distance.
The faith of the Republic of Intis is dominated by the Eternal Scorching Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery. Of course, the God of Steam and Machinery is not yet called this name, but is called the God of Craftsmen. The Church of Steam is also called the Church of Craftsmen.
Even considering that the God of Craftsmen has just become a god and cannot digest much potion, and combined with all the information revealed in the original work, Lin Ruo can reasonably speculate that the Craftsman Church of this era is compared to the other six Orthodox Churches.
, probably slightly weaker.
And the turning point of everything is probably Russell, the son of steam!
Lin Ruo looked at Russell, who was also in the carriage, and suddenly had some strange thoughts.
For example, what would have happened if Russell had not joined the Craftsman Church.
Will another person appear and start the era of industrial revolution?
Lin Ruo felt that he would probably do it, but I'm afraid it would take a lot of time.
Maybe until the end comes, the God of Craftsmen may not be able to digest the magic potion.
"Uh, is there something on my face?" Russell couldn't help but ask, feeling confused as he was stared at.
"No, I just thought of something." Lin Ruo naturally couldn't tell Russell that he was thinking about another possibility of history. He smiled and said something perfunctory, and then changed the subject: "Are you a noble?"
"Yes." Russell nodded. Although the Gustav family's current status is not that of its ancestors, it cannot be said to be in decline. It belongs to the kind of people with a certain status who can still enter the White Feng Palace and participate in the balls held by His Majesty the King.
noble.
From this point of view, I have to say that Russell is quite lucky. His background is much better than that of Klein. It is much easier to get in touch with the extraordinary and embark on the path of the extraordinary.
"As a noble, it is actually much easier for you to have extraordinary power than ordinary people, you just need to pay a small price." Lin Ruo said slowly.
"What price?" Russell asked quickly.
"For example, a little bit of freedom..." Lin Ruo said unhurriedly, "Both the Craftsman Church and the Eternal Sun Church have real extraordinary power. If you are willing to join, no matter which church you are,
I won’t refuse even if there is a chance, but after joining you will be restricted and need to become a guardian-type role, just like the people you saw today, fighting against monsters, wild Beyonders, and cultists.”
This is the truth. Just like Justice Audrey, if she wants, she can join the Nighthawks, Mechanical Heart, or Punisher. It is really not difficult for nobles to enter the Extraordinary system of the church, but they just need to pay a little bit.
cost.
But this is something many nobles are unwilling to do.
For nobles, instead of joining the church system, it is better to find their own channels to become wild Beyonders, or join the military system.
After all, it is not difficult to see from the reflections in the original work that in the Fifth Age, an era where the gods do not appear, many nobles have no idea about the strength of the church.
