I Got 999 Level With One Cut

Riko Hasegawa sat up straight from the position of lying on Meiko's body. She rubbed her eyes and used the weak air flow of the Wind Element to tidy up her messy hair.    

When the steam engine appeared from the dull and dark hole like a subway tunnel, through the glass window on the side of the car, Riko and the others finally saw the city that Edina had been talking about all the way.    

St. Parland was a very good place in Edina's mouth. It was the holy land where Watt descended to the mortal world, the sacred residence of His Highness the Pope. In any case, Edina had said that it was very powerful.    

Looking at the appearance of Parland, it was indeed similar to the funnel-like city from before. Karaur was very different. The layout of the Karaur's city was similar to the mine Riko saw on TV and online pictures in her previous life. The streets extended downwards in circles. It looked like a solidified whirlpool. The Parland was the exact opposite. The streets and buildings here extended up in circles. It formed a conical body and looked like it was built on a mountain.    

At the top of the mountain, there was a huge building that could be seen from any corner of the city.    

"That is the Steam Temple, which is also the Pope's residence."    

Edina pointed at the building through the window of the moving train. It looked dark and huge, and the top of the chimney spewed out gray steam. Its entire body was covered with a very complicated mechanical combination. It was moving slowly under the push of some kind of power. It was like a giant beast that was still moving.    

In fact, even without the young inventor's reminder, Riko could guess that in such a country governed by divine power, the most conspicuous building must have been built for God.    

The steam engine gradually slowed down and slowly drove into the railway station in St. Parland. It was built from a very smooth stone that had been cut into pieces. The walls and ceiling had delicate and pleasing decorations. Compared to the small station in Karaur, although there were still traces of the train being blackened on the ceiling. It looked even grander and grander from afar.    

However, there were few people here.    

With the help of the train crew in the blue uniform and white gloves, they removed the two cloth bags containing the internal combustion engine and a large pile of parts from the luggage compartment. Edina held Carol's hand and looked at the Steam Divine Cult Temple at the top of the city with some disbelief and joy. She waved her fist full of hope.    

"Carol, we have arrived. This is the Saint Capital!"    

Carol nodded as if she understood.    

At the same time, Shu Hsingnan successfully stopped Lorin, who was secretly trying to pry off the suspension system of the motorbike and Dorothy, who was planning to pour a bottle of unknown medicine into the chimney of the motorbike.    

Virna and Angarmarin acted the quietest and they did not speak.    

"Do we need to rest here for the night?" Loli Merlin looked around and asked.    

Edina was still in a state of excitement. "I don't need to. If you guys go to the hotel, I will go and meet the Pope first."    

The train actually did not drive for long, only five or six hours. So everyone shook their heads together.    

"Then let's go to the temple."    

Riko had just woken up and her mind was still a little muddled. She held Meiko's hand.    

Walking in the city, Loli Merlin was surprised to find that although this place was called Saint Capital, there was still a very stylish train station. However, the scale of Parland's city was far from reaching the Karaur.    

It looked like it did not even have a tenth of the population of Funnel City.    

"There are no slums in Saint Capital." Edina pointed to a house on one side of the wide street. Its architectural style was somewhat similar to the houses in the upper city of Karaur. "More than one-third of the people living in Parland are clergymen. The remaining two-thirds are serving them. "    

In fact, that was indeed the case. Most of the people walking on the beautiful and neat streets of the city are well-dressed, and their steps are elegant. Edina, who was dragging two big bags behind her, looked very out of place.    

It was an inappropriate metaphor. She was like a farmer who was carrying big and small bags at Beijing South Station.    

The number of people at the lift station was obviously more than the number of people in Funnel City.    

When the old man who sold the tickets heard that they were going to the Temple Square at the top of the city, he didn't look surprised at all.    

"You are also going to watch the execution? You have to hurry up. It will start very soon."    

Edina was confused when she heard that.    

"Who is going to be executed?"    

"You don't know? An explorer heading towards the surface will be executed. It was said that when he really reached the surface, he was scared by the monsters on the ground and hallucinated, causing him to lose his faith in Holy Spirit Watt. After he came down, he shouted for everyone to follow him up. He's so pitiful. I hope the great Watt can forgive his soul." The old man sighed.    

Edina and Meiko looked at each other and did not make any comments.    

The machine carried the group of people up.    

The square in front of the Temple was surrounded by a large group of people.    

Riko finally found a place with great difficulty before she could clearly see what was happening in the middle of the square.    

A group of guards carried a small portable high-pressure boiler on their backs and held a steam weapon that looked like a rifle but was slightly shorter. While they blocked the crowd outside, they pointed their guns at a young man tied to an execution rack in the middle of the open space.    

This young man with unkempt hair and a dirty face was tied up in a strange position on the execution rack in the shape of a gear. His clothes were tattered and covered in a layer of black dust. His head was lowered, so no one could see his face clearly.    

Next to him stood Bishop, who was dressed in red.    

"As everyone can see, this poor man tried to explore the outside world, and went against Watt's orders. He has now been arrested by the supreme church!"    

This bishop should be quite old, one could tell from the deep wrinkles on his face. He had the same gentle smile on his face, loudly announcing to the crowd the crimes of the tied up young man.    

"He attempted to desecrate the supreme Holy Spirit Watt, and bewitch his people into going to the land of death. His soul has already lost itself in the outside world."    

Riko did not hear what Bishop said after that, because the shouts of the people far surpassed his words.    

"Burn him to death!"    

The people shouted like this.    

The bishop waved his hand, signaling for the crowd to quiet down.    

He said the last sentence.    

"Ignite the fire"    

Two guards walked up and lit the fire.    

The young man who was tied up did not say a word or raise his head. Only when the fire started burning under his feet and the burnt smell began to spread in the air... He suddenly raised his head and used all his strength to shout a few words.    

"There's light on it"
