A clumsy robot loaded with a lot of supplies and tools.
Following a group of people wearing steam-powered exoskeletons.
"呲呲~"
The precise gears on the exoskeleton rotated, spraying out white mist.
The speed of their actions immediately increased.
This group of people was sent by Arkham to explore and expand the new land.
And they have applied their innovative and practical steam robot and steam exoskeleton technologies.
Compared to the people who originally explored and discovered the ruined city that was Arkham's predecessor.
There is a world of difference in efficiency between them.
More mountains and rivers were discovered, and each resource point was marked.
The faces of the exploration team were all filled with excited smiles.
These newly discovered resources can drive the rapid development of their civilization again.
After nearly half a year, all the expanded areas of the new land have been explored.
The biggest discovery among them was the Sea of Death they discovered.
"It was an endless ocean, shrouded in fog, but there was no fog covering the sea."
"When I first looked at it, it was so cold and deep, as if it was sucking people into the sea."
"Even though it looked lifeless inside, we found marine life inside."
"It's just that those sea creatures are extremely ugly. That kind of ugliness, even if you make it out of a ball of soil, it will be more beautiful than it."
This is the first description of the Sea of Death by explorers.
And it was recorded in their chronicles.
Due to its distance from Arkham, the Sea of Death has not attracted much attention for the time being.
Although some people have already connected the sea that appeared there with the dreams dreamed by those madmen.
Based on the map drawn by exploration, Arkham began to expand and discover more resources.
One year, two years, three years... until five years passed.
With Arkham as the core city, two smaller cities were expanded in different places.
Towns, large and small, connect these big cities.
Steam technology improved again, and civilization took another step forward.
But it still can't deal with those weird and strange creatures, let alone the big destruction that happens every year on the celebration day.
The more I understand, the more powerless I feel.
Many people among the radicals slowly chose to return to the conservative side.
After all, Arkham has already established a complete currency system.
Wealth and poverty are even more magnified under this steam civilization.
They also have to run for a living.
The tone of everything is based on fear and the unknown.
Regarding the Sea of Death, they had been visited several times during this period.
But there are no towns nearby, and there is no means of transportation by sea.
I don’t know much about it, except that the sea stretches as far as the eye can see.
But it's not very dangerous. Although the marine life inside is ugly, it tastes quite delicious.
In order to further explore resources and understand the world.
This year, they built a town relying on the Sea of Death.
And named it - Innsmouth.
Two years passed after Innsmouth was established.
Many people migrated there one after another.
People who believed in strange dreams, in particular, all moved to Innsmouth.
There they built steamships and began to develop fishing.
The resources of the ocean were far richer than they imagined, and fishing soon became a hot industry.
More and more people are joining the fishing ranks, and sailing distances are getting farther and farther.
During this time, people in Innsmouth discovered a feature about the Sea of Death.
That is, whenever the Day of Destruction comes, the Sea of Death will not be affected.
People who believe that dreams are real and are a projection of a place.
I believe even more that the sea in the dream is the Sea of Death!
This will be a place that can protect them and bring them the truth about this world.
But more people don't believe it.
They believe that this sea area is a more terrifying place than the Day of Destruction and those weird and strange creatures.
However, the fishing industry here has become a "gold rush", and the number of people leaving has not decreased much.
But none of them noticed at all that there was a group of fish-men from the deep sea called the Deep Divers.
He has begun to observe everything about them silently.
These humans are greedy, cowardly, timid, blind, and live in fear.
They need a belief, a great belief!
A man who lives in Innsmouth and believes in the Sea of Death.
The dreams they had became more and more real, and they heard the call from the sea in their sleep.
They saw a group of creatures that guided them.
Finally, late one night, this group of soon-to-be lunatics, who should be incarcerated in Arkham Asylum.
The collective came to the beach, where they finally saw them!
The gray green skin is full of cold texture.
Like a human fish, its head is held high, standing motionless in the sea.
It's like a statue washed up by the sea and buried for thousands of years.
The deep one emits a hoarse, sharp guttural voice... conveying all the emotions that its face cannot express.
The pictures in these people's eyes began to distort, and their eyes were full of fanaticism.
This place seems to be exactly like their dreams.
They gradually understood the strange guttural sounds of the deep divers.
Although the meaning here is not literal.
They begin to understand and accept...
It turns out that there is a great being sleeping in the ocean!
His servants come to guide them, if only He is awakened.
They can understand everything and gain everything!
The fanaticism reached an extreme, and they began to walk towards the ocean and towards the deep divers.
They spread their hands and looked at the sky.
The cold teeth tore apart the bodies of some of them.
Blood dyed the sea red.
But no one is afraid.
They were performing a sacrificial ceremony, which was dedicated to Him.
From this moment on, they are His most loyal followers!
With faith, they separated from the deep divers and returned to the small town of Innsmouth.
Started to meet up with another group of believers.
This group of believers were those who were initially afraid of the Sea of Death, but stayed because of fishing.
They met the deep divers while fishing in the deep sea.
From their initial fear, they later discovered that they could sacrifice crew members to the Deep Ones.
to obtain a large amount of sea resources.
Greedy desire consumed them.
Further contact with the Deep Ones distorted their thinking.
They also gradually understood that great existence.
——The sleeping god, the Lord of R'lyeh, the great Cthulhu!
The Cthulhu believers gathered together are also representatives of the radical faction.
Under the guidance of the Deep Ones, they founded the Order of Cthulhu.
——The secret sect of Dagon!
