The steam train advanced across the land, billowing white smoke erupted from the front chimney and floated toward the gray sky.
Sylutia looked at the gray cities and pedestrians outside the window, and could no longer remember how many cities she had passed through. Mage Alliance Most areas were swept away by Plague. Even the once stable inner-city areas were now facing threats from Plague.
Even though the situation is not optimistic, the industries in various cities still cannot stop. The machines that spew smoke, the chemical towers that bring pungent odors, and the refining workshops with danger signs are still operating at full capacity. The boiling fires devour the ores and raw materials poured into them, and then transform them into steel-colored castings.
A large number of these produced creations are used in foreign trade to obtain valuable food and medicinal raw materials, and some are used to make weapons and equipment to resist Magic Creature outbreaks in various places and suppress unrest.
As the situation worsens, various regions are gradually tightening their policies and beginning to control various materials to ensure the smooth production of important industrial products and necessities.
The Silver Radiance Church she is in has also undergone some changes. For example, the pure white uniforms that were widely used before are now basically replaced with white and gray styles. Only on some important occasions, highly saturated pure white will be used.
This is not limited to them, it can also be seen from the clothes of pedestrians on the street. Most of the current new clothes are simple gray,
White, blue, and three colors, because these colors are the lowest to dye. If cotton and linen are not dyed as an industrial step, they will naturally appear light beige and darker. If everyone wears this kind of clothes, at a glance, it will give people a gray feeling.
Thinking back more than ten years ago, when Sylutia first came to the bustling city of the Mage Alliance, the streets were lined with bright clothes and flags. The richness and brightness of the colors were difficult to see elsewhere in mainland China.
In an era when industry was not developed, it was very difficult to dye fabrics, especially dyeing into brighter colors. Ordinary dyers in rural areas and small towns could not do it, and fabrics of certain colors would fall off. Some noble clothes could not be washed because they would change color once washed.
The gray street scene and the color of clothes will gradually affect people's emotions. No matter where they go, Sylutia feels that most people are carrying a kind of unresolved melancholy, without the relaxation and vitality of the past that are full of expectations for the future.
And the more cities she walked through, the more she felt that she was unable to face the general trend of the times. Even though no Plague or disease could stump her now, so what, she could only save the people in front of her, and tens of thousands of new deaths would be added to this land every day.
The more she lives in this era, the more she understands the journey Melancholy has traveled. This experience, which is like a historical reappearance, makes it easier for her to learn the various inheritances of Silver Radiance Church, and she often even feels the same understanding.
In the early years, many of Silver Radiance Church's secret methods were very sophisticated and meticulous. They would go into all kinds of details and observe the patient's reaction. Even if there were a few more links and procedures, they would try to make the patient less painful.
But in the middle and late stages, Silver Radiance Church's secret methods gradually opened up and closed. Super large Ritual Array and treatment methods appeared one after another. Treatment Purification rituals for hundreds or thousands of people abounded. The shorter the treatment process, the better, and the simpler the follow-up care methods, the better.
This is all in a life-and-death race with Plague. Once the speed of treatment and prevention cannot keep up with the speed of Plague's infection expansion, everything will collapse in the end.
If we can catch up with the speed of the spread of Plague, we can gradually establish a stable circle of order, use this as a basis to cultivate talents, expand the team, and then further conquer those affected areas.
Times and circumstances force everyone to change----
Sylutia looked at the gray scenery outside the window, slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
"Sir Sylutia, there is someone at the station ahead who wants to see you." A Knight wearing steel-colored armor and a white cape and robe reported to her.
"Oh, what's the matter?" The girl turned around. Her light gray dress was embellished with a pure white belt and sleeves, blending in with the scenery outside the window behind her.
"The other party is the envoy from the Woodland Alliance. I just participated in the Alliance official discussion meeting not long ago. Now that the meeting is over, I haven't left yet. I want to see you."
"The Woodland----Whose side are they from?"
Sylutia was thinking about it while recalling. If they were Golden Sheaf Horn" and Knight Sanctuary", she would be familiar with them, and they wouldn't have not greeted them in advance. They were probably people from the other three major forces' alliances.
"They are from Forest of Incantations", and it is said that the leader is Witch, the chief of "Crescent Moon Council"."
"Crescent Moon Council----" This is probably the descendant of the ancient Moon Council. Why did he make a special trip to see him? Sylutia shook his head slightly, a little confused.
But there is no need to think about this, it will become clear when we meet later.
"I understand, I will go there later."
"Yes." After that, Knight saluted with his hands on his shoulders and turned around to leave.
Looking at the other party's back, Sylutia thought for a while, and remembered the origin of the other party. He seemed to be from a small country in the south of the Mage Alliance. He was a second-level apprentice at the beginning, and is now an official third-level Knight.
Silver Radiance Church currently has hundreds of thousands of members, of which there are about 8,000 level three or above professionals. She can basically remember everyone's name and origin, and even the information left in each conversation with the other party.
This is the advantage of Secret Speech", which makes her memory particularly good, and under the influence of Radiant Moon", the huge memory bank will not be mixed with each other, but will be extremely clear.
The advantage of doing this is that she now has strong leadership for Silver Radiance Church" and can accurately grasp the situation of each member she has met and known, remember their status, and provide guidance and assistance from time to time to try to prevent these members from taking as many detours as possible.
When traveling around the Alliance this time, she was not only solving the backlog of difficult problems in each branch, but also guiding the members of these branches to remove problems and obstacles for them to advance. If there is a lack of relevant advanced resources, she will also try her best to coordinate and help them find them.
After each instruction, not only does the other person feel suddenly enlightened, but Sylutia also feels that she has a better understanding of the inheritance system of Silver Radiance Church. Problems that she has never encountered have happened to others, and things that she did not think were problems have frequently appeared among members. This has made her aware of many overlooked details and differences.
Layers of fuzzy details are discovered and unraveled, and the world seems to be constantly becoming clearer. She is also constantly moving forward on the road to "Radiant Moon", and has gradually touched a certain limit.
This is the ceiling stuck on All Living Things. The pinnacle of mortal life is Sixth Order. If you want to break through this ceiling, you need the occurrence of "Miracle".
If divided according to the three "Miracle", she is currently most likely to break through in the second way, which is to become proficient in a certain field and reach the point of touching power and concepts.
This method requires opening up new areas on the basis of predecessors, and if it is just imitation, it will not allow people to achieve Miracle.
The requirement of innovation is that you understand and master the field better than anyone else, so that there are only unknown things left ahead. Once you make a breakthrough at this time, it is equivalent to opening up a new area, and the related concepts become your personal exclusive, while leaving a shallow trace on the laws of the world.
Melancholy extended the concept of Purification" on the basis of Radiant Moon" and carried it to the extreme. Finally, it became Miracle in the form of Great Achievement, and True Name was engraved on World Wall.
Although she can move forward along the path of Melancholy, if she just follows the footsteps of her predecessors, she will ultimately be limited by their predecessors' framework.
For Sylutia, although it is a bit cumbersome to step into Seventh Order, she has gradually seen the road, and is not worried. In the process of conquering Plague one after another in the past few years, she has accumulated a lot of materials. Until a certain critical point, she can fuse and refine these materials to form her own thing, and then break through that ceiling.
However, after being promoted from Eighth Order to Named One, she still has no clue. She may have to wait until she is promoted to Seventh Order before she can clearly see the situation at a higher level.
While thoughts were surging, the train slowly entered the platform. With a harsh sound of brakes and filled with steam, the train slowly stopped.
"Your Highness, Flandre District has arrived at the station." Ritual Priest on the side reminded, bringing the girl back to her senses.
"Well, let's go down."
Soon, Sylutia in a light gray dress slowly stepped off the steam train. Behind her was a Silver Radiance Church elite in the same color uniform. They were all above the fourth level. Compared with the past, the gray uniforms were less delicate and more solemn and quiet.
