Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 208 St. Russell
On January 1, the special train arrived in Tilis.

Even though there was an accident on the way, and two saints sneaked into the train to sabotage it, this did not affect the original plan of the Church of Steam.Just like at Constant, the special train still chose to stay in Tillis for one day, and did not set off again until the early morning of the next day, and finally arrived in Trier on January 1.

So far, this week-long journey has finally come to an end.

"Is this Trier?"

Audrey sat by the window, looking curiously at the city outside the window:

It is a sunny metropolis located between the Lane and Serenzo rivers. It has beautiful scenery, many varieties of roses, and developed humanities and arts. It is a holy land for painters, musicians, and novelists.That is the capital of Intis, which was rebuilt by Emperor Roselle, the first truly cosmopolitan metropolis...

Audrey has seen similar descriptions in books more than once, and in those books she read, the heroines of most of the stories are based on the noble lady of Trier, especially the antecedents who have fallen. The royal family of Tees, the Sauron family, is the most popular.

Because of this, Audrey was full of longing for this city until she became a true Extraordinary. These things had almost no attraction for her, and it was far from the surprise and yearning when she first read it on paper.

Of course, although Audrey has never been to Trier, it is not that she is ignorant of this city.

Bakerland, the former ambassador of the Republic of Intis to the Kingdom of Loen, during his tenure as an ambassador, often held balls at the embassy, ​​inviting bankers, factory owners, philanthropists, and other famous rich men from the Kingdom of Loen. Participate with barristers, and randomly give certain sub-tier merchants a chance.

The reason why Intis changed from a 'Kingdom' to a 'Republic' was not because of how open and free the country was, but simply because the person who made it change from a 'Kingdom' to a 'Republic' was Russell Gusta Husband, because he has a powerful support far beyond the royal family of Intis and other nobles!
Even if Emperor Roselle ended in failure in the end, it was because he was betrayed and assassinated by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Sauron family of the royal family of Reasontis and other nobles, and fell in the White Maple Palace.The Church of Steam did not show up in this incident, but it has actually shown its attitude: Regarding Roselle's death, the Church of Steam also acquiesced.

The relationship between Emperor Roselle and the Church of Steam can be seen from this.

These traditions of the Church of Steam also arose from the time of Emperor Roselle, and they were praised by the God of Steam and Machinery. That's why this church was named after Roselle the Great. His outstanding contribution to the nascent Church of Steam.

Even with the strength of a 'half-god', the success of Roselle's coup did not depend on his own strength, but on the support of the Orthodox Church!

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the authority of the Loen royal family and nobles, but neither the royal family nor the nobles have taken any extreme actions in this regard.

Audrey's eyes were a bit complicated, and she whispered in her heart:
"Obviously looking at the same thing, but different experiences really make people have different perspectives."

A trace of doubt flashed in Audrey's eyes, and she murmured in a low voice:
"Aren't we coming in?"

This country looks completely different from the Loen Kingdom, but it is so similar in essence.

Delly took a light breath, using meditation to completely calm herself down.

This is the information Audrey got from her older brother Alfred, who is a colonel and also a Sequence 5 Extraordinary.

Ordinary people can only see the legendary and inspirational life of Emperor Roselle, from a fallen nobleman to the ruler of a huge country, and even made the country change its regime three times because of it!
But from Audrey's perspective, she can see much more than ordinary people.

Most importantly, unlike Backlund, which is shrouded in smog all year round and doesn't see the sun several times a year, Trier's sunshine is really warm.The warm sunshine coming from the window gave the girl a strong urge to take a nap.

But in fact, the essence of this country is still dominated by 'nobility'.

And through the window, the church in the distance has emerged in the field of vision, that is the church of steam, St. Roselle Church.

This can be seen from the recent situation of the relatives of the Hall family in Intis.

This question didn't last long in the girl's heart, because a huge bell was already ringing in the distance.

Even though Audrey had never been here before, she recognized it immediately.This is not because she has seen pictures of this church, but because this church looks so distinctive...

Most of the churches of the major churches take quietness as the primary goal, because the church is a sacred prayer place, and believers must pray devoutly in a quiet environment.The Church of Steam is the complete opposite. They are proud of being noisy, and the more lively the Church of Steam is, the more they are loved.

Yes, this is the church of the Church of Steam——

In such an atmosphere, he would tell the guests about the prosperity and openness of Trier, and that the Republic of Intis is no longer dominated by nobles. Bankers, factory owners, lawyers and other groups are the masters of the country. They directly and indirectly Sweeping most of the seats, deciding the direction of national policy, enjoying real freedom, and having a lofty status...

Audrey was a little surprised. Does the Republic of Intis also have a station in front of the church of the Church of Steam?

Counting the history of the two republics before and after Intis, the aristocratic system was not abolished from the beginning to the end, but the new aristocrats were no longer entrusted.After all, without a king in Intis, naturally no new nobles would be born.

Facing the girl's confusion, Ember shook her head and said:

In the following 19 years, he reformed the legal code, encouraged inventions, escorted the industrial revolution, greatly enhanced the national power, fought south and north, and included Lunburg, Masik, Segal and other countries under protection, allowing the Feysac Empire, The three northern continent powers, Loen Kingdom and Fenepot Kingdom, bowed their heads one after another.

For example, the territories of the Kingdom of Intis and the Kingdom of Loen have not undergone fundamental changes for thousands of years. Even if Emperor Roselle could temporarily overwhelm the Kingdom of Loen, they were not strong enough to directly annex the Kingdom of Loen. It is said that the national strength of the two countries is actually almost the same.

"The train will go directly to the Holy Church, the headquarters of the Church of Steam, and will not stop in the city."

At this holy moment, everyone on the square in front of the church stopped. At this holy moment, they either closed their eyes and prayed, or listened quietly. The white pigeons fluttered their wings and flew into the air at the same time.

The coup d'état it launched was undoubtedly supported by the entire "God of Craftsman" church at that time.As for the other Orthodox Church of the Republic of Intis, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun may not fully support Roselle like the Church of the 'God of Craftsman' at that time, but there is a high probability that it will be happy to see it happen.

Only then did she look out the window again.

Audrey subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall, it was twelve o'clock in the morning.

Even if Intis has been changed from 'Empire' to 'Republic', even if they declare how they are open to democracy, claiming that Intis is no longer dominated by nobles, bankers, factory owners, lawyers and other people are the masters of the country etc……

It can spray steam, turn the lever, and ring the big bell. It is completely different from other churches, but it interprets the word "steam" very well.

When married to the Hall family, they were nobles.

They were nobles when Intis changed from a kingdom to a republic.

And in Loen Kingdom, a colonel is at least a Sequence 5 Extraordinary——

The train has already made a big circle around half of Trier, which certainly allows her to better appreciate the original appearance of the city, but it also makes her uncontrollably a little confused, because it stands to reason that the train should have entered the station long ago That's right.

Although the appearance of some buildings makes people feel uncomfortable, people will always find their favorite style among many buildings.

Intis changed from a republic to an empire, and back to a republic, and changed their government several times, but they were still nobles——

This means that when the coup was launched, Emperor Roselle was at least a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and even a Sequence 4 demigod with a high probability!
Without such strength, Russell's coup would not be successful at all.

when!when!when!
Twelve bells rang in succession, and white steam spewed out from the chimneys at the top of St. Roselle Church. The hymns of praise were accompanied by the rotation of huge gears and levers, echoing inside and outside.

Intis is famous for its openness, and its architectural style is also very different from that of the Loen Kingdom.

Although Constant also has a large number of reinforced concrete buildings, most of them are factories, which do not make people feel aesthetically pleasing.Most of the buildings here in Trier are residential and commercial, and new buildings of various styles emerge in endlessly, which is dizzying.

The Kingdom of Loen paid more attention to preserving the original style of buildings, so most of Backlund's buildings were low, and their styles were not much different from those hundreds of years ago.In Trier, however, there are high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete everywhere as far as the eye can see.

One reason was that Bakerland was the ambassador of the Republic of Intis, and he represented the entire Republic of Intis. Taking action against him was equivalent to declaring war on the entire Republic of Intis.Secondly, it was because Bakerland's agitation didn't have any substantive meaning——

But before that, there's another little problem...

But this not only caused the nobles to decline, but also made the status of the nobles even more lofty!
No new aristocrats will be born, which means that the aristocratic class will no longer have latecomers, which means that the existing aristocrats will always be in a monopoly position.Even the Sauron family is still one of the most powerful families in Intis!

At the end of 20, when he was about to complete 1192 years as consul, Russell changed the republic into an empire and called himself Caesar.Less than six years later, he fell in the White Maple Palace, ending the most legendary period of the Fifth Era's history so far.

And Roselle, such a 'boy', can just reshuffle the cards for the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The acquiescence and even support of the two Orthodox Churches was the root cause of Emperor Roselle's successful coup d'état!
This is not purely derived from speculation, but supported by facts.After all, even if Emperor Roselle changed the political system twice, the two churches never expressed their opposition from the beginning to the end.So the answer is actually quite obvious -

When she was a child, she would yearn for the Republic of Intis, and when she grows up, she will be afraid, fearing that the "Republic" physique will lead to the decline of her family, and fearing that her father will be sad because of it.And now, her understanding of all this is completely different from before.

Having just thought of this, Audrey suddenly grabbed the ruby ​​necklace on her chest again, frowning in distress.Although she can control it very well most of the time, she is still occasionally affected by 'lie' accidentally, and her uncontrolled thinking diverges.

And Emperor Roselle invented the steam engine, improved the sailboat, created a large number of inventions that were unimaginable by the predecessors, completely changed people's lives, and left a strong mark on the Church of the "God of Craftsman" at that time.

After all, it can be seen from the Loen Kingdom that the three Orthodox churches and the royal family are not of one mind, and they are even fighting each other.The Loen Kingdom is like this, and other countries are definitely not much better. It is impossible for the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Intis royal family that has ruled Intis for thousands of years to be without conflicts.

Whether the Republic of Intis can be coup d'état, to what extent, who will carry out the coup d'état...all of these depend on the attitude of the Orthodox Church.

"Go directly to the church?"

It has never been the nobles and the royal family that determine the future direction of this world, but the extraordinary power, the extraordinary!
The history textbook clearly records the richness that Roselle left for Intis:
Russell Gustav quelled the rebellion as a colonel, took advantage of the coup d'état, changed the Kingdom of Intis into a republic, and appointed himself the consul.

Even though they are no longer the supreme rulers of Intis, they are no longer the royal family, but they are still aristocrats, still enjoy high status and rights, and continue their rule either explicitly or implicitly, but their power is not as good as before. No longer covering the sky with one hand like when he was a royal family, but to compromise and co-govern with other nobles.

Even during its reign, the Church of the God of Craftsmen received the first public oracle since the Fifth Epoch, changing the title of 'God of Craftsmen' to 'God of Steam and Machinery'.

Finally, before the huge bells stopped completely, the special train finally stopped slowly in front of St. Roselle Church.

For other churches, they moved the church as far away from the tracks as possible to avoid the noise of the trains.But for the Church of Steam, such noise is just right, and it is considered a way to please the god of steam and machinery.

The train slowly approached the square, but there was still no sign of stopping.

The track extending in front of the train leads all the way to the interior of the church.
