Chapter 755 Underground World
The sender was Jules and the recipient was Beatrice.
Needless to say, these two names can elevate its importance to the highest level.
Therefore, this letter, which was obviously problematic at first glance, attracted great attention as soon as it appeared.
"Where did this letter come from?"
Zeus frowned as he looked at the letter. On his desk was an exquisite wooden box. The box was carved from ebony and inlaid with patterns of gold and mithril, which together outlined a glorious picture.
Not to mention anything else, this box alone is worth hundreds of rios, which is enough to feed Bettys fried fish for half a year.
"This is a long story." Hodge scratched his head and began to tell the story.
The story begins a week ago.
Everything in the Upper Rhine has nothing to do with the believers at the bottom. Most of them are just the foundation that supports the prosperous stage of the empire, the unknown bricks and stones under the curtain.
But the previous riots in Upper Rhine eventually affected them.
On that day, the untouchables from underground rushed out of the ground driving huge steel machines. These people were regarded as the lowest and dirtiest, and it was an unforgivable crime for them to appear on the surface. The believers of the Lower Rhine believed that seeing them would pollute their eyes.
But that day, they not only appeared on the ground, but also made a hole in the sky.
The people of the Lower Rhine have never seen the Upper Rhine, but these untouchables have personally been there.
Although the priests have always stated that these untouchables were driven back underground, the fact that the Holy See fought against the untouchables has shaken the beliefs of many people.
God cannot shed blood, because it symbolizes not power but divinity.
As a result, many people in the Lower Rhine began to look up at the sky.
It was as if they had only just noticed that the Upper Rhine was so high up not because it could fly, but because it stepped on the Lower Rhine.
Everything seemed unchanged, and the people of Lower Rhine continued with their lives, but the way they occasionally looked at the priests had quietly changed.
It was around this time that the number of passages between the Lower Rhine and the underground gradually increased.
In such a delicate situation, an exquisite wooden box fell to the ground.
It did not attract people's attention at first. The underground world was too vast, and there were many connected holes. Everything that fell from above would be sent to the landfill and then into the incinerator.
And in the garbage dump, this wooden box is quite conspicuous.
The garbage sorting machine immediately locked onto it and it was quickly delivered to a purely mechanical construct.
Unlike the crooked and tattered creations of the Untouchables, this humanoid machine is extremely delicate, with graceful curves revealing a sense of design.
That was once the sacred object of the Mechanics Society - the Gear Sage.
It is still giving lectures today, but in a new location, underground.
At this moment, it was giving a lecture in an open space next to the garbage dump. The place here was much simpler, and the dirt ground was simply swept. It was far less exquisite and prosperous than the church.
But there were many more people listening to the lecture in front of it.
Xiaobu was listening to the class with his two pointed ears erect. Although he was in the dark underground, his big eyes were still bright.
Next to her was Frey, who was dozing off.
This young man from Baishi Castle now has a certain status among the untouchables in the underground.
One was that he led the underground people to the Rhine, and the other was the holy book.
Before leaving, Gaia and Zoe gave them the Holy Book of Imperial Truth.
This is actually quite good, the only problem is that no one here can read.
Not to mention the untouchables like Xiaobu, they have little contact with the people on the surface, so it is normal that they can't read. But although Frey was sent by Castel, he can't read either.
When he was in Whitestone Castle, he was just a petty thief roaming the streets. Although he later joined Castel and studied on the airship for some time, the time was too short and he didn't have time to recognize all the words.
Not to mention that although Imperial Truth has a certain popular science nature, it also contains many professional terms.
In other words, no one in the entire underground can use this book.
In the end, Frey gritted his teeth and went to the surface, trying his best to secretly understand the meaning of the words in the book, so that these underground people could understand this holy book from Castel.
——The appearance of underground people is quite different from that of surface people, and they can be recognized at a glance, so only Frey can do this.
Now, almost everyone in the underground has a copied holy book. This is the result of Frey's work.
Thanks to this contribution, Frey enjoyed a very high status in the underground, and therefore, this beautifully decorated wooden box was delivered to him as soon as possible.
"Was this dropped from above?" Frey asked the mechanical boy next to him with some confusion.
——They are underground people who are obsessed with mechanical research. Unlike the biological transformation technology of the Mechanical Temple, these mechanical guys are not very interested in transforming their own bodies. They prefer to use various discarded parts to assemble various messy machines.
Whether it is useful or not is another matter, but the visual effect is still quite shocking. For example, the one in front of Frey, various parts are piled up almost like a Christmas tree, and assembled into a mechanical armor in an exaggerated way.
It looks like you're wearing a pile of garbage.
It was precisely for this reason that the beautifully decorated wooden box in his hand seemed so out of place.
"It's not very useful for what was thrown down from above, but it looks very pretty, so I'll bring it to you."
The mechanical boy's voice came from the loudspeaker. The thing was disassembled from something unknown. The sound of electricity was a bit loud, making the whole speech a bit distorted.
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with just shouting at this distance, but these mechanical guys just want to add a loudspeaker, thinking it would be much more exciting.
Frey really couldn't appreciate it.
So he focused his attention on the wooden box in his hand, and as soon as his eyes moved over, he frowned.
This box is so exquisite.
Frey was a street wanderer and an expert in valuation and selling stolen goods. It is no exaggeration to say that this box is enough to feed a person for a year if it is converted into food.
The underground people have no concept of currency. To them, this exquisite box is just a beautiful but useless piece of waste, but to the people on the surface it is a precious thing.
Can this be thrown away casually?
Frey immediately perked up and called some people to help deal with the matter with great care.
After taking some time to carefully open the box, Frey was stunned when he saw the letter inside.
"A letter from Jules, Pope of the Candlelight Society, to former Pope Beatrice?!"
