Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Divine Mechanism
Time flew by.
A month had passed since the Heart Fire Wolf incident.
During this month, Baiyu barely left his home, spending all his time on research and study of Mechanical Science.
The results were very encouraging.
His Mechanical Science level had increased to LV3 during this period, on par with Mysticism, which were now Baiyu’s highest disciplines.
Professor Yi Xian certainly deserved her reputation as an experienced professor.
Whether it was the knowledge reserve of Mechanical Science or her teaching methods, they were both outstanding.
Baiyu’s ability to learn so much in such a short time was in no small part due to her efforts.
Therefore, this earlier arrangement was worthwhile.
Baiyu still profited from it.
Obtaining a legal status for the two of them allowed him to enjoy one-on-one private teachings from a university professor.
It was practically a guaranteed win.
"Letters."
At the desk in the apartment.
The Moon Lady stood on tiptoe, placing several letters next to Baiyu, looking timidly at this male owner.
"Uh, just leave them here.
Has the teacher been teaching you Black Moon Spirit Technique recently?"
Baiyu asked.
The Moon Lady nodded, "The teacher says I am naturally suited to practice Black Moon Spirit Technique. I can control the power of the Black Moon, rather than being controlled by it.
She says I’m like you, special."
Baiyu rubbed his forehead.
Yi Xian, in truth, didn’t have many other bad habits.
She was just too strong-minded, almost never changing what she believed in.
She even tried to impose it on others.
She was a woman with a strong desire for control.
Baiyu and she had always maintained a relationship of "good teacher and helpful friend" because of this trait of hers.
Of course.
Ever since Yi Xian relented, she gave up on the idea of making Baiyu the Sect Leader of the Black Moon Spiritualism.
She had come to a profound realization.
Her student was no longer the Tier Nine Martial Artist she could manipulate at will.
"Look at you.
But remember, if you don’t want to learn, you can always come to me.
I’ll stop her."
Baiyu said.
The Moon Lady shook her head, her eyes unusually firm: "I want to become the moon!"
Uh...
Young girls always tend to have such whimsical ideas.
Baiyu chuckled and didn’t dwell on this topic, instead picking up the stack of letters on the desk.
It is worth mentioning.
The network information transmission in this world is not stable.
Even in big cities, there are many places without internet access.
So, traditional means of communication like letters haven’t disappeared, even today with the prevalence of phones and computers.
Instead, with the empowerment of Spirit Techniques.
They have an irreplaceable effect.
These few letters were all sealed with Spirit Technique.
Once opened, the letter paper inside would be burned within ten minutes.
Moreover, an imprint of the God of Justice was stamped on the envelope.
Thus ensuring high confidentiality.
Compared to phone calls and chatting, the confidentiality was much higher.
"This one is sent by Pang Fei, this one is from Celestial South Martial Arts University, this one from the Ning Family, and the last one... from the Mechanical God Church?"
Baiyu looked at the four letters.
The letter from Pang Fei was nothing more than to inform him that everything was safe.
Currently, after the demon invasion, Fengye County is in the midst of intensive reconstruction.
He was still residing in the Linjiang City Shelter.
For now, it’s safe and there’s no need to worry.
But in some time he estimated he would have to go to Kyoto to report on the recent demon and foreign invasion.
The letter from Celestial South Martial Arts University was sent by Lin Qingsong, the head of the Martial Arts Academy.
He informed Baiyu about some school issues and notified him that he could return to continue his studies after the school’s reconstruction.
Of course.
Baiyu sensed a kind of helplessness from this letter.
It seemed the reconstruction of Celestial South Martial Arts University wasn’t going to be an easy task.
When the Corpse Giant exploded at the school, the extent of the damage was still unknown.
Putting this letter aside.
The letter from the Ning Family.
Was personally written by Ning Fugui.
Since the entire Ning Family relocated from Zenith City, they had also moved to Haiqing County.
Recently, Ning Fugui planned to head for the capital of Haiqing County, the most grand and prosperous city in the imperial south—Villiduo.
Ning Fugui mentioned in the letter.
He prepared to start over, bringing a large amount of capital, planning to make a big move in Villiduo.
After all.
This gentleman built his fortune from scratch when he was young.
Now, bringing all his assets to start anew, he still hoped for a comeback.
Moreover.
The market in Villiduo is ten or even a hundred times larger than Zenith City.
Maybe Ning Fugui will have a second spring here.
The last envelope.
Baiyu stared at the surface of the envelope.
For sealing wax, other letters used the God of Justice’s seal of justice.
Only this one.
Had a bright red skull mark.
This skull mark was about the size of a coin.
In the left eye socket of the skull was drawn a rotating gear, and in the right eye, a tiny Mystical Language phrase like a mosquito was inscribed.
The translation of this.
Was roughly "Supremacy of the Machine."
Baiyu frowned, having never seen this mark before.
It had a hint of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics, but it was more pure.
With unknown matters, one has to adopt a cautious approach.
Baiyu didn’t open the letter immediately, but called Yi Xian to take a look at the mark.
"Mechanical God Church... this is the National Church."
Yi Xian recognized the mark at a glance: "I received their letters before too."
"National Church? How come I’ve never heard of it."
Baiyu furrowed his brow.
Logically.
As the National Church of the East Prosperity Imperial, it should have been widely known.
But to his knowledge, most people only knew of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics and the Holy Light Church.
This Mechanical God Church.
Honestly speaking.
Most people would probably think it was a knockoff of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics.
"Actually, you do know it. The Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics is a branch of the Mechanical God Church."
Yi Xian’s words were surprising.
Baiyu arched an eyebrow: "Both sects worship the same divine spirit?"
"Yes, but there is a difference between the Mechanical God Church and the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics.
They worship the God of All Machines, believing that machines are the most beautiful creations in the world.
And they are dedicated to transforming their bodies into mechanical monsters.
Many mechanical prosthetics and mechanical transformations originate from their technology and craftsmanship.
The latter.
Worships the God of Steam and Mechanics.
However, according to historical records and Mechanical God Church scripture, the God of Steam and Mechanics might be an avatar of the God of All Machines.
Nevertheless.
The followers of the God of Steam and Mechanics do not acknowledge it.
So they were expelled from the Mechanical God Church.
This group of exiled believers formed a new church.
The Mechanical God Church never preaches to ordinary people.
We generally refer to these two sects as the New Church and the Old Church.
Currently, the Mechanical God Church wields substantial power within the imperial upper echelons. Moreover, many of their believers and priests join the army in warfare."
