Struggle in the Steam Age

Because the Second Koya Mountain is a very famous scenic spot around Xinkuaiji City, Lawrence and the others easily found a short-distance carriage at the bus station on the outskirts of the city, and then followed the trip of Okita Sakura and Zhu Yan who had been here before. The experience chose a hot spring hotel with pure Yingzhou style to live in.

After arriving at this hotel on the first day, they first ate hot tea and Yingzhou-style desserts provided by the owner to avoid hypoglycemic coma, and then enjoyed a bit of sulfur here. Hot spring.

On the second night of coming here, Lawrence, Safiel and Nora tasted a whole set of authentic Yingzhou-style banquets featuring fresh ingredients and outstanding food flavors in their own room. The most special ones were several A unique local hot spring egg on a plate, it tastes a special flavor.

On the third day, several people toured some surrounding cultural landscapes together, especially the small village called Hongye established by the first group of immigrants on the edge of the valley below the mountain, and purchased some various products to bring to their relatives and friends. Local specialties.

On the last day of the trip, Lawrence and the others got out of bed early in the morning. Then prepare to climb the main peak of the second Koya mountain after the hotel according to the plan. The mountain is not very high, but the scenery along the way is very beautiful. Climbing up the stone steps is like walking in a picture scroll.

When everyone came to the top of the Second Koya Mountain, a small but very clear lake appeared in front of Lawrence and the others. The lake water reflects the clear blue sky, the white clouds reflect the lake water, and the world becomes as transparent as a mirror like a fairyland. A sense of tranquility arises in the hearts of all tourists who see this scene.

"The lake is so clear." Sai Feier sighed after approaching the lake and looking down through the red fence. Because the surrounding area is full of sugar maples, many red leaves fell on the lake. And the clear lake water makes these red leaves floating on the lake seem to be floating in the air.

"The scenery here is indeed very beautiful." Lawrence looked at the river surrounded by a red maple forest and sighed. Then summoned the book charm and said: "Give us a portrait."

After discovering that the book charm can quickly draw text and pictures like an inkjet printer, Lawrence developed a new use of the book charm: let it absorb a large amount of dyes of various colors and quickly draw pictures, similar to Lawrence's Polaroid camera in his previous life Effect.

"—I repeat, the things produced in this way have no soul. Only with a pen can a great work of art be drawn." Although Lawrence persuaded Shumei in the name of inkjet printing being able to record history quickly and accurately Provide color inkjet snapshot service for everyone, but every time I will talk about my views on art and philosophy for a long time before stretching myself to start printing.

"Okay, okay, let's get to work!" Nora patted Shumei with her little hand to make him shut up, and then flew to the middle of Lawrence and Safiel and started posing.

Because the drawing process took about a minute, Lawrence and the others continued to appreciate the surrounding scenery after Shumei said that he had recorded the picture in front of him.

Of course, the little puppet Nora was still habitually sitting on Lawrence's shoulder and looking around. In her eyes, Lawrence's shoulders are her own exclusive throne, so whenever the occasion is suitable, she will sit on Lawrence's shoulders. Fortunately, Lawrence, who is a transcendent, has strengthened his body a lot, and his shoulders can carry a heavy doll.

Because of the relatively high position, Nora can naturally see more things than Lawrence and the others. Just when Lawrence and Safiel lowered their heads and began to appreciate the clear lake under their feet, Nora suddenly pulled Lawrence's hair lightly, pointed to the sky with the other hand and said, "What is that in the sky?"

"What?" Lawrence raised his head when he heard the words, and saw a baseball-sized metal ball with three pairs of wings flying towards him from the sky. traces of their movements.

The ball flew very fast, and it flew in front of Lawrence in just a few seconds. Then the ball hovered in mid-air, turned around, pointed a direction at his face, and then opened a small piece of metal on the ball, revealing a black and white intertwined black and white pattern with a sky bead pattern on the ball. Agate beads.

This agate bead, which looks black in the middle and white around it, turns around in the metal groove of the ball, as if a flexible eye is observing everything around it. At the same time, a certain kind of Lawrence felt that some kind of magic wave without any threat came from this agate ball and scanned himself.

After using this method to confirm Lawrence's identity, the ball fell into Lawrence's hands, and at the same time those wings were also put away. Then there was a click, and a slit opened in the middle of this seemingly seamless ball, and then it was completely opened to reveal the contents inside.

"This is?" The little puppet sitting on Lawrence's shoulder looked down, and was surprised to find that the inside of the ball was divided into two layers by a circle of metal sheets, the outside was a ball of white cotton cloth, and the inside was a ball. A letter from the regiment.

"It seems that someone is looking for me urgently." After looking at the rolled up envelope, Lawrence immediately realized what it was in his hand. "This should be the highest priority emergency letter of the New World Railway Federation. The message is relayed all the way through the radio communication towers along the railway line throughout the New World, and then the letter is printed out at the station closest to the recipient and sent to the in the hands of the recipient."

Speaking of which, Lawrence took out the ball of white cotton cloth, and after unfolding it for a while, he hurriedly stuffed it into a ball in his pocket, but Safir and Nora both saw at that moment that the ball of cotton cloth looked like A handkerchief with a picture of a bunny on it.

"Why is it a handkerchief?" Safiel naturally couldn't ask these things, but Nora asked without restraint. "This method of delivery seems to be an unusual method. Why would someone mail this thing?"

"Well, this is indeed a very rare method of communication, and the price is also very expensive." Lawrence had only heard of this postal method by accident before, when Priest Carter wanted to send a very important I sent a letter to a friend of myself, but it cost nearly one yuan in postage for just over a thousand kilometers.

"The alchemy puppet that is finally delivered by this mailing method needs something from the recipient as a clue and to confirm the recipient's identity, so as to ensure the accuracy and safety of delivery." Lawrence recalled that when Priest Carter finished sending Explaining what was said after the letter to Nora and the others, she took out the letter that was placed in the middle of her trousers and glanced at it.

"As for this handkerchief, it was sent by my father, because this kind of magic bird needs something with the recipient's aura as a guide. And this is the only thing with my aura that he carries with him." Lawrence Shrugging helplessly, he raised his hand and released the winged metal ball that returned to its original shape after being taken.

"That's right, according to the previously agreed time, Uncle Lambert should be training in the Great Salt Lake Temple now, so it's not too easy to find something that has your breath." Sai Feier suddenly frowned. I frowned. "Didn't we go back by train in a few days? Uncle Lambert also knew about this before. Why did you send you such a letter suddenly now? Did something happen?"

"Probably not, what can happen to him training at the headquarters of the Great Salt Lake Temple." Lawrence said, opening the envelope with some worry. "Hopefully nothing bad happens."

"Don't worry, you're not Conan." Nora comforted Lawrence through the soul connection at this time, "Theoretically, luck can't be that bad."
