Struggle in the Steam Age

Early the next morning, Lawrence was woken up early by the clanging sound of the train running. When he opened his eyes and turned his head, he just saw Safir also opened his eyes, and looked at him with his own sapphire-like eyes.

"Okay, it's time for you to get up. Breakfast will be delivered in a while. I see that there are cream puffs on the menu this morning. If you wake up late, they may be taken away by others." Just as Lawrence and Sai When Phil and the two looked at each other's faces quietly, a small blanket between them was suddenly lifted, and then Nora, who was sleeping inside, floated into the air and nagged to the two people lying on the bed.

Last night, after discovering the uneasiness hidden under Safir's open-mindedness, Lawrence simply called the little doll Nora down through the soul connection and let her sleep between himself and Safir.

Sure enough, after doing this, Safiel suddenly seemed to relax a lot. After the doll lay down in the gap between the two, the three said good night to each other, and then they slowly fell asleep with the shaking of the train.

"Good morning." After being interrupted by the little doll, Lawrence and the others immediately returned to normal. After greeting each other, everyone got up from the bed and began to tidy up their appearance, and then continued to answer questions about the nonsense in the astral plane. Werewolf issues due to previous jobs.

After being able to feel and manipulate the power of faith to a certain extent, Nora used those powers of faith to replace part of the magic power used by the plane to resist the turbulence of the astral world. This has also caused the concentration of magic power on the astral plane to slowly rise after the saved magic power returns.

Although the increase in the concentration of magic power is not high, if guided by pious priests, the network formed by the power of faith can also be used to connect temples. Therefore, now when jackals from all over the world encounter unsolvable problems, they will report to the main temple of Jade God, and then the staff there will report to Nala through the only external contact point on the astral plane.

As a result, the speed of construction in various places has indeed been further accelerated. However, correspondingly, the problems that Nora and Lawrence have to deal with have also increased rapidly, especially now that there is a lot of waste to be done, and various projects are only in the beginning.

"Could it be that God is Baidu?" After a whole day of work, Nora complained through the connection in the soul. "Why is the work I do now completely different from the work that God should do in the materials I read before?"

"No way, who told you that you are now in the entrepreneurial stage." Lawrence replied, "Isn't Tian Tian 007 normal at this stage? You have to think at least that you are the boss now, and you have your own appearance. Not only do you not have to pay rent, you even Even taxes and fees are waived. Every job I do is done for myself.”

Chatting with Nora was a lot of fun for Lawrence. Because most of Nora copied Lawrence's thoughts and self when shaping herself before, this led to a very speculative conversation between the two of them, and at the same time, they could also talk about various things that no one in the world knows except the two of them. Kind of stalk.

"You're right." Nora nodded seriously. "After all, I'm the boss. It's a blessing for those who work for others. What can a boss like me complain about?"

In the following trips, the days basically passed in such a busy way. But listening to the group of jackals reporting their continuous progress, Lawrence and the others felt that sense of accomplishment completely overwhelmed their exhaustion.

And it may be because of getting used to it, the sleeping position behind Sefiel is not so ladylike anymore. For example, when Lawrence woke up one day, he saw her curled up like a child, and by the way, he held his right arm in his arms with the little doll Nora.

Other than that, nothing happened along the way. However, it is a little regretful that it was already night when the train was about to pass through the big mountain range, and the train had left the big mountain range after the sky brightened. So during this process, he did not see the appearance of the famous wild land of the New World, the Great Mountain Range.

But from some things, Lawrence saw that even after many civilization expeditions, this big mountain range was still very dangerous. For example, the last stop of the train before entering the mountains is an extremely strong military fortress. A company of soldiers boarded the train here, and at the same time, a tank with artillery and steam engines was attached to the front and rear of the train. Armed compartment for the gun.

And after the train left the train station, the steel armor plate on the side of the carriage slid out from the side to seal all the glass windows, and then there was a sound of mechanical operation on the roof, which should be a certain device installed on the roof. Some defensive weapons were activated.

It has to be said that the material science of the extraordinary world is better than that of the earth's purely technological world, so although the sound of artillery and guns did not stop throughout the night, the sound coming through the car wall was well controlled. Basically, it didn't affect Lawrence's rest.

After crossing the great mountains, Lawrence and the others entered the Republic of New Island. Maybe it was because the people here were closer to the homeland of his previous life in terms of appearance and civilization, so Lawrence was a little agitated.

On the next journey, Lawrence and the others saw a countryside that was very different from the White Eagle Federation. For example, there are many paddy fields near the river, which are full of green rice seedlings. At the same time, on the river in the distance, several steamboats with white smoke were pulling something and hurried past.

"This is already the second season of rice." Sephiel Lawrence, who was looking at the scenery outside the window curiously, said, "Because the temperature here is relatively high in summer and autumn, two seasons of rice can be planted. The first season started from four seasons. from August to July, and the second season from August to the end of October."

"It's really hard work." Safiel praised, because her father also ran a farm, but it was a ranch for raising cattle and sheep, and the work intensity was far less than that of growing rice.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." on the afternoon of the third day after entering the Republic of New Island, amidst the sharp siren sound and the white fog that swept across the entire platform, the front of the car was lit with bright gas lights. After driving for nearly a week, the Republic Express Arrived at the end of the trip: New Kuaiji East Station.

The white mist slowly dissipated, revealing the crowded waiting passengers on the platform. What is more distinctive is that many men here are wearing Aurora-style clothes, but Briton-style hats on their heads. There are very few people who actually wear a certain style of clothing.

The women's clothing is colorful, not only wearing traditional Aurora-style skirts, but also wearing women's clothing that has just been popular this season at Eagle Fort. Some even mixed and matched or wore menswear.

Fortunately, Lawrence's first-class car had a dedicated passage, so they quickly entered the hall from the platform along the dedicated passage, and then left the station through the customs checkpoint.

"Where should we go next?" Safir asked Lawrence subconsciously as he watched the turbulent crowd at the gate of the train station. "Did your friend leave you any contact information?"

"It didn't stay here." Watching the crowd gradually thinning out, Lawrence carried Nora's box in one hand and Safir in the other and walked towards a row of taxis waiting across the road. "But he gave me an address and told me to go to Xinkuaiji and find a hotel to stay in and write a letter to this address, and then he will come to us."

"Why can't we go to his house to find him?" Safiel asked a little puzzled after getting in the car. "He is obviously in this city, isn't it convenient for us to find him now?" "

"In theory, this is the case, but the problem is that he may be on duty in their family recently, and their family has entered a state of alert because of the absence of the main force. Outsiders are not allowed to approach, let alone let outsiders send them inside. something." Lawrence explained: "So I can only call him out through their family contact point."

After finding an ordinary hotel in the city center and staying there, Lawrence immediately borrowed paper and a pen to write a note, and spent a few copper coins to ask the waiter to deliver the note to the contact address Zhu Yan left behind. Then he decided on the lunch menu and asked the waiter to deliver it to the guest room for him.
