Chapter 338: Chapter 320 Natural Talent

The Reforging Church provided considerable assistance during the railroad construction in Nasir City and, in return, made a few relatively reasonable demands.

One demand was the construction of a church for the Reforging Church within Nasir City.

Considering the request to be fair and sensible, Byrne thus represented the Fischer family in agreeing to it.

After Nasir City officially transitioned from a town to a city, several other churches also sent representatives and consecutively built their own churches within Nasir City.

Though the majority of the East Coast’s populace worshiped the Tempest Overlord and the Lord of Salvation, every city in Cyart had a church for all the True Gods Church, considered standard configuration, so of course the Fischer family did not refuse them.

Even though Lilian was rather displeased, she did not reject the churches.

One could easily imagine that if one dared to refuse the True Gods Church, the so-called “suspicions of heresy” would skyrocket immediately.

The gloomy sky today seemed to be shrouded by dense, pitch-black clouds, and the glorious Blazing Sun had already disappeared amidst the dismal cloud cover, casting the whole world in a somewhat somber light.

“Pitter-patter.”

Raindrops fell from the pitch-black clouds, landing in puddles and producing a gentle sound.

Black boots stepped on the ground as Felix raised a homemade black umbrella and, dressed in brown clothes, arrived directly in front of the Reforging Church, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

“This is it.”

Here stood the false god’s church. Though he had visited the Tempest Overlord’s church and met with Lord Zayne previously, this was his first time setting foot in the God of Reforging’s church grounds, harboring considerably “ill-intentions”.

The style of the Reforging Church’s architecture differed greatly from that of other True Gods Church buildings; it was a tall structure adorned with many gears, without any vegetation around, just smooth mud terrain, giving off an immediate and chilling sensation.

He looked up calmly to see the clock tower atop the church, a vast and precise mechanical clock slowly turning, possessing a unique beauty.

Then, Felix lowered his head, raised his hand, and saw the fully disguised marks on both sides of his hand.

“Lord of the Lost, please protect me.”

“Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”

The mechanical clock struck seven times in a row, signaling it was seven o’clock in the morning.

Upon entering the Reforging Church’s church, Felix immediately saw some worshippers of the God of Reforging murmuring prayers, most of them being workers, craftsmen, and scholars.

They were highly interested in the knowledge held by the Reforging Church, and most had not joined with the purest of intentions to begin with.

Furthermore, joining the Reforging Church meant receiving mechanical prosthetics for free, which also attracted many disabled people to join.

He saw a large dark gold gear placed at the very center of the church, constantly rotating in mid-air, from any angle exuding a beauty of motion while being utterly lifeless.

That was the sculpture symbolizing the God of Reforging.

Felix took a deep breath, suppressing his discomfort, walked forward, closed his eyes, and pretended to pray to the dark gold gear.

Deep down, he felt a bit scared too.

After all, this was the church of the God of Reforging! And he was facing the god’s idol!

If his abnormality were detected by that false god, the situation would be incredibly dangerous!

No, he mustn’t panic; everything had been ordained by the great Lord of the Lost! Having been bestowed with that mark, it meant that coming here to pray to the God of Reforging wouldn’t trigger any dangers!

He would definitely be safe!

Felix firmly believed in this.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Felix of the Fischer family?”

It was at that moment that the Reforging Church Priest, who had demonstrated what an automobile was with one arm replaced by a mechanical one, walked over with an eager look in his eyes.

“Yes, I am,” Felix opened his eyes and nodded, acknowledging his identity.
