In the Sheen City-State Alliance, Tephes City is close to the coastline. There are a large number of ships moored in the ports on the coast, including merchant ships and warships. Although there are still most sailing ships on the docks, it can be seen that large ships have gradually They were replaced by new steam ships driven by propellers. The rows of chimneys and the whistles of ships arriving at the port made people feel the wave of the steam age. The wisps of black smoke were something that many kingdoms on the Alan continent could not dream of. scene.
The most attractive thing is a huge steel battleship parked in the port. This steel battleship is more than 60 meters long. Only a magic steam engine can drive such a steel battleship to sail rapidly on the sea. A large number of rivets and splicing traces can be seen on the outer shell of the battleship, and alchemy turrets that can be rotated to adjust the muzzle at will can be seen on the battleship.
Today is the launching ceremony of the Sheen City-State Alliance's first Steel Alchemy Battleship held here. I saw a large number of people on the pier carrying the flag of the Sheen City-State Alliance, playing military music and trumpets, and all wearing the Sheen City-State navy. Uniformed soldiers stood on the pier in a military posture carrying muskets. In front of them stood the Prime Minister, the Lord of Tephes and the naval officials who came to deliver speeches.
A large number of ceremonial soldiers marched at the pace of steam. Everywhere you could see well-dressed nobles, gentlemen, beautiful ladies and fashionable young people of the new era. They stood on the carriages carrying flags and waved vigorously. Flags cheer.
The ground was covered with carpets and flowers, and a large number of newspaper reporters and visitors were present. With military music playing and a large number of flags waving, it was as lively as a grand ceremony.
Here, everything seems vibrant, and everyone seems busy and passionate. The changes brought about by steam and machinery have made the Sheen City-State Alliance suddenly become a powerful country on the continent, whether it is land or sea strength.
In the words of the Prime Minister of the Sheen City-State Alliance: "Here, we can see the future of the world!"
As the ceremony ended, a large number of naval forces boarded the Legendary Adventurer, the first steel alchemy ship of the Sheen City-State Alliance. The name of this ship was exactly the same as the first one when Marina Bosse started her world journey. The name of the ship is exactly the same, which also pays tribute to that legendary journey and Marina Bosse who started this era. As the whistle sounded, the ship broke through the water and sailed away little by little, and the Legend Adventurer began its first journey. cruise mission.
A large number of civilians on the shore cheered excitedly and stood on the pier waving flags. Their heads were crowded into a ball, and the sound of military music continued.
"Praise be to the great goddess of steam and machinery!"
"Long live the Sheen City-State Alliance!"
"Long live steam and cannon!"
At this time, a carriage was also parked at the port. A lady with eyes watched the Legend Adventurer go away. The hand that opened the curtain of the carriage gradually lowered. If you look carefully, you can see that she revealed The hands and skin on the outside are all blooming with light, and the light that the divine power infects the cells seems to be transmitted uncontrollably.
You can see this light soaking through her whole body. Even if the powerful power fluctuations can be suppressed, they continue to stir up radiation in her body and affect the surroundings.
It was the legendary alchemist Marina Bosse who came. She watched the Legendary Adventurer go away little by little, and suddenly remembered that she was in her twenties when she set out to travel around the world in order to send Gina home. pace of.
At that time, she was also high-spirited and excited. She stood on the boat and cheered to say goodbye to the people on the pier. At that time, her teacher Akkad was standing on the pier and looked at her with relief. She can still remember the teacher's praise for her. Quotes: "There are many brave men of words, but few brave men of action."
And now, all her disciples are aging and dying little by little with the ruthless passage of time. The youngest disciple Jonathan also betrayed her and left.
Gina, who was then the Mermaid Queen, gradually became a stranger to her. She also ascended to the throne of God twenty years ago and raised the Kingdom of God high in the sky. At this moment, she has also reached this step.
The Sheen City-State Alliance declared its belief in the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. Statues and churches of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery were established everywhere throughout the Sheen City-State Alliance, and all alchemists automatically became believers and preachers of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. The belief in the Goddess of Steam and Machinery, along with steam, steel, and alchemical items, has gradually entered all the families in the Sheen City-State Alliance.
A large amount of power of faith gathered in Marina Bosse, pushing her to the edge of the gods. More than ten years ago, she went through a ceremony to summon the Goddess of Steam and Machinery in the Cathedral of Tephes City. Now that she has reached the seventh level, she can call upon the Kingdom of Stars and enter the kingdom of gods that belongs to her.
"Time flies so fast!" Marina Bosse couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, let's go back!" The man in black robe driving the carriage in front said nothing and immediately returned with Marina Bosse. Judging from the body exposed under the robe, this turned out to be a mechanical alchemist. Oops, it's Archimonde.
Marina Bosse is about to ascend to the throne of God. This is probably the last time she will come out before ascending to the throne of God. She does not know the world after becoming a god, but she also knows that gods will definitely not come to the world easily. , the appearance of such an existence in the main world will have a huge impact on the life of this world and the stability of the world.
Marina looked at the scene in Tephes City, as if every place could bring back memories for her.
When she was a child, the Sheen City-State Alliance was poor and backward. At that time, her hometown was a small fishing village next to the city of Tephes. Many people wore clothes that could not cover their bodies, endured the exploitation of the nobles, and relied on the barren land. Barely eking out a living, they lived in an ancient era at that time.
Now, the ocean has spread to the point where ships can’t be seen. The departure of the legendary adventurer alchemy battleship represents the coming of the era of steel and steam. On the streets, you can see rail cars driven by steam passing through the road. Above, the steaming locomotive shuttles through the city with two to three carriages, replacing the original horse-drawn buses.
"Getting in the car! Getting in the car!"
"We're going to drive soon!"
“Buy your tickets quickly!”
The noise on the streets, although there is still a gap between the rich and the poor and a large number of slums, is much better than in their time.
Railway tracks are gradually covering all large cities, and the whistling and clanging sounds of steam locomotives can be seen everywhere in the large and small cities of the Sheen City-State Alliance. Workshops and alchemy workshops can be seen everywhere. , workers have become the largest group in the Sheen City-State Alliance, even surpassing the original farmers, and various commodities and markets are flooding the market.
There are more and more people in the city, the houses are getting taller and taller, and all kinds of new things are constantly emerging, changing everyone's life and consciousness, and all of this is because of the alchemists. 's appearance.
Akkad brought the alchemy academy and knowledge to the Sheen City-State Alliance in just two or three hundred years, but it has completely changed this era. Among them, Marina Bosse, as Akkad's successor, has Pushing the era of steam and alchemy to its climax.
At this point, both the alchemists and the Sheen City-State Alliance need a goddess of steam and machinery. They need a god to protect them and protect their future and that of all alchemists in this era when the gods exalt the Kingdom of God. And Marina She was the goddess of steam and machinery they needed.
Marina Bosse finally smiled as she looked at the new era she and her teacher had brought.
"worth it!"
"As long as I ascend to the throne of God and alchemists have their own gods, I will protect this era of steam and alchemy."
A few years later, during a grand sacrificial ceremony for the goddess of steam and machinery in the city of Tephes, under the salutes and prayers of cannons and gunfire, the huge star kingdom was revealed in the sky of Tephes. , the light shone on the church of the goddess of steam and machinery, and the huge divine light and shadow emerged in the city of Tephes, enjoying the reverence and cheers of all believers, and ascended to her kingdom. .
