Chapter 655 Opening a new map
The overcast sky was raining, and the pattering rain enveloped the entire Tokyo.

With snow-white skin, black hair like a Japanese doll, red eyes wearing colored contact lenses, and a Gothic loli with fluttering pleated skirts resting her cheek on one hand, looking melancholy at the street in the hazy rain outside the window.

This is probably the last rain in late autumn, she thought.

After all, it is almost the end of the semester, and the students in the school seem to be busy with the upcoming Doll's Day festival...

No, I'm busy with the upcoming final assessment.

Having said that, the rules of the White Emperor Academy are indeed too strict. The usual atmosphere is so relaxed that there is not even a discipline committee member in the school, but the final assessment is so cruel.

As long as you fail, you will be expelled directly——

Lowering her head, she took a look at the textbooks spread out on her desk, but Wu Geng Liuli couldn't read them at all, because she had already learned the contents by heart.

After all, every ten days in the current world, I will be called to another world to preach and preach all day long, but other than that, there are no other entertainment activities.

So, in her spare time, she has nothing to do besides reading.

At first, it was just to pass the time, and she thought that her studies should not be wasted, and she also wanted to see if modern common sense could be useful in ancient times, but then she memorized all the textbooks unconsciously up.

But even so, she still only has the courage to take textbooks and some popular science books to read, and some things that are too advanced for the times are impossible.

After all, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
For example, if she brought a few small R18 notebooks and accidentally exposed them, no one would be able to judge her even though she was Wu Geng Liuli.

However, the prestige plummeted, the image collapsed, and the position of the top bishop who had worked so hard to manage plummeted. Such things will definitely happen!

And as long as he thought of the consequences, the black cat felt... he might as well just die.

The reality is so cruel. Compared with Kagome Higurashi in "Inuyasha", it seems that she is basically the same in terms of encounters, but the details and specific experiences are completely different.

The life and travel of the former are simply colorful and never boring, so they can’t keep up with their studies. After all, they are either exorcising demons or collecting jade from the four souls all day long. If they have time to read books, they can’t remember them. live.

But Wu Geng Liuli was able to memorize all her textbooks by heart... Just this alone, one can imagine how much free time she usually has.

The reason why Kagome Higurashi is subconsciously used as a comparison is because the world Wu Geng Liuli travels through is exactly the same era background setting, which is equivalent to the Warring States Period 500 years ago in the current world.

It's just that there are no monsters, and the historical trend is a bit strange. For example, the rule of the unheard-of Imagawa shogunate has been completed, but the familiar clans and families seem to have not been driven out.

——Those Ji Damings who failed in the end were just forced to leave the eleventh district and turn to the ocean to plan for development.

Under that weird power system and world view—for example, all kinds of inexplicable steam power technology, magical magic, gunpowder weapons, biological alchemy, golem craftsmanship, and so on.

Driven by these weird technical forces, the whole world has slowly entered a steampunk era with a very peculiar style of painting.

That is the style of painting that black cats can only see in science fiction or animation magazines in the past, full of imaginative mechanical world.

"The next step should be..."

She withdrew her misty gaze from the window, then took the notebook next to her, opened it, and began to write lines of text on it.

After all, as a religious person, and the main task is to preach, Wugeng Liuli has been formulating development strategies based on his own observations.

It is not very appropriate to say that it is a strategy. She is purely writing a light novel. While writing, she compares and confirms the reality of the situation, and uses this behavior to clarify her thoughts.

Maybe it’s because it’s really describing another real-world story. With the reference template and her own editing, the light novel has been successfully published in two volumes, and it’s continuing to sell well. middle.

The industry's evaluation of this is generally that the story line is relatively flat at present, but the setting of the world view is quite real, expressing the spirit of steampunk vividly and vividly demonstrating a technology that transcends the times.

Moreover, the words between the lines reveal a strong sense of creativity and nostalgia, absorbing a lot of sci-fi and fantasy elements... Anyway, they donated all kinds of praise without hesitation.

It can be said that Wugeng Liuli's previous dream has come true, but now she doesn't care about these things anymore.

She was just seriously thinking about what she had seen and heard, thinking about the development trend and future direction of the world, but the pen in her hand kept dexterously jumping on the paper, leaving lines of beautiful handwriting——

"The appearance of steamships combining alchemy and giant golem crafts has opened up sea routes beyond distant countries, gold, spices, silk, and some kind of magical power in the legend deep in the sea, as well as the immortality. legend……"

"These are said to be the driving forces that attract people to develop navigation technology, open up new routes, and explore new continents."

"However, the existence and threat of huge sea beasts discovered later forced people to continuously upgrade the technology tree of the navigation industry, and even began to work hard to develop further air ships that can cross vast sea areas."

"The most intuitive manifestation of the wide application of alchemy is the application of "mutated whale oil". "

……

Just like the industrial age in history, when the resource of coal was fully utilized, that world has now found the "coal" that belongs to its corresponding era.

Perhaps because the genes reproduced by the giant sea beast rearranged certain ecological trees in the sea, people discovered that the flesh and oil of the mutated whale could be used to refine some high-quality fuel through alchemy.

Then, through the combination of steam power technology and alchemy technology in the wrong direction, the device can be directly converted into electricity. Only one gallon bottle is needed to maintain the full load of the entire city's air rail transportation system for half a month. run.

It is on this basis that the entire era that has obtained the power of Pengbai relies on technological innovation and perfect industry, and is opening up a new frontier in all directions.

In addition to one floating city after another rising into the sky, there is even news recently that people plan to build underwater cities.

Moreover, Wugeng Liuli heard that the ancient oriental country on the other side of the ocean has also ignited the flames of industry. Because of the continuous development of air routes, huge machines have also begun to appear in the sight of the western world.

In addition, magic and technology share a world view. Technology can become a kind of advanced magic, and magic can become a new technology. The two influence each other, check and balance, and even regulate each other.

It is not uncommon to use magic to drive steam machinery, or use science to explain the principles of magic... All of these have added a layer of mysticism to the era when the technology tree was crooked.

It is precisely because of this that the black cat has slowly and truly fallen in love with that world. From Ye Gong's dragon-like repulsion at the beginning to his habitual acceptance now, it is entirely because that world is becoming elegant and romantic.

It is also becoming more and more in line with her imagination.

In other words, she discovered that she can use her identity to participate in the development process of transforming that world, and guide the offset of the painting style according to her own wishes.

It was an era of elegance, luxury, romance and imagination.

A world parallel to the sixteenth century, with the scientific and technological achievements of the present age and even beginning to develop all future information ages, various weird theories and inventions emerge in endlessly, and the imagination is incredible.

That has gradually become Wugeng Liuli's spiritual utopia.

It is precisely because of this that she is so concerned about preaching and preaching. After all, she sees very clearly that everything she has is based on that religion, which is the root of her life in that world.

She was not arrogant or cautious, she just thought of many stories about the struggle between theocracy and political power.

This is not news for a long time, and it has never been new in the history of human development, although the current Lord of Imagawa doesn't care about such things at all, and is even vigorously promoting theocratic rule.

But it was all because of that god standing beside her, and Wu Geng Liuli even suspected that the upper level of the castle tower could lead directly to the legendary Kingdom of God.

Therefore, the problems that have not been exposed at present, or the hidden dangers are actually very intuitive.

The lord of the country will give up her secular rights sooner or later. When she no longer stays in the world, the conflict between the secular regime and religion may erupt.

And because of the continuous development of the times, if the teachings and concepts are out of touch with the entire era, there is also the danger of being eliminated.

This is what the black cat is most worried about. She must always pay attention to modifying the development direction of religion so that the development trend of the church and civilization cannot run counter to it.

——After all, once the black history is left behind, it will be difficult to wash it off in the future.

It seems that because of his belief in Copernicus' heliocentric theory, Bruno was burned alive by the church in the Field of Flowers in Rome.This type of vicious incident will always be a black spot in the history of later generations.

Wugeng Liuli felt that she had to learn that lesson no matter what. If she could not establish a world where theocracy was supreme, she would have to fully integrate the religion she led into the whole world, and make faith a natural part of people's lives.

Not just to be able to better exert their influence and transform the world that is getting better and better.

It is also for better preaching, and to repay the one hundred wishes that I inexplicably owed to that goddamn god as soon as possible... Oh, no, there are still 99 wishes left.

……

……

The tip of the pen, which was nimbly dancing on the paper, suddenly stopped——

The little black cat who was thinking divergently seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then became expressionless.

Just now, she accepted a brand new "Apocalypse", not only was her thoughts interrupted directly, but also the oracle issued a brand new mission to her very unreasonably.

Of course, the first thing Wugeng Liuli felt was a burst of gnashing of teeth, and she was almost mad. She managed to operate on the current map and improved a bit.

As a result, it was immediately notified that the map was to be changed?

But after she calmed down, she found that this seemed to be an important opportunity. It seemed that according to the instructions of the oracle, this was an excellent opportunity to cancel 99 wishes with that goddamn god.

And I also only need to be in charge of church affairs, there is no big risk...

——The only problem is that it seems that the goddamn god doesn't have much preparation time for himself.

She looked at the alarm clock on the table in a daze, trying to remember how long the appointment with her friends was before.
