Struggle in the Steam Age

"It's normal here, what's the smell?" Hearing Nora said that there was a special smell in this place, Lawrence sniffed fiercely and sniffed, but he only smelled the kind of nature that is often found in the woods the taste of. .

"Ah, my idiot brother." Seeing that Lawrence really foolishly ran to the table to smell it, Nora patted her forehead with her right hand helplessly. Then flew up to Lawrence with his hands on his hips, staring into his eyes. "I'm talking about feeling, feeling."

"Feel it?" Lawrence scratched his head and smiled foolishly, then closed his eyes and released his perception. Soon, the phantom of Bai Ze in his mind began to move, and then released a wave to the surroundings. Wave after wave of special magic power, under the influence of these magic power, he quickly discovered that something was wrong with the space above the table.

"You're right, there is indeed something wrong here." According to Lawrence's perception, the top of this table is indeed different from those around it, as if there is something on it. But other than the special power from Bai Ze, there is no other way to discover the abnormality in this area.

"So I'm right." Nora raised her face proudly and said. "Although the group of elves who built this building abandoned these buildings, they still left some other things in this place, and it is obviously not commensurate with the scale of this island. Don't you think this situation is suspicious? ?”

The area of ​​Nova Sauer Island is not very large, and it is not in a critical geographical location. So in theory, it is impossible to have any important facilities to be built in this place. But what is suspended on that platform now is obviously not what this small island should have.

"Wait a minute." Lawrence stopped Nora when he was about to do something, and then took out the three iron coins from the interspatial bag and started divination. Ever since the divination skill was fully activated, before facing these situations, as long as the time was not tight, he always had to do a divination.

"Working up and down, there are a lot of hexagrams." After the divination, Lawrence put away the iron money, raised his head and said to the little puppet floating there. "The hexagram is not bad, indicating that we may gain a lot this time. But in the whole process, we must pay attention to being upright, distinguish right from wrong, and know when to stop."

"That is to say, don't take everything away." Nora said simply after thinking for a while. "And pay attention to when we do something later, there may be some temptations for those entrants. But don't worry, I will try to remind you when the time comes."

Because of the special connection in the soul, Nora was not too worried about Lawrence being manipulated by some kind of control magic. But now that the divination has shown a certain possibility, she thought about believing and trying her best to keep vigilant against these aspects, so as to avoid the worst situations from happening.

After the conversation was over, Nora began to circle around the table in front of her. From time to time, her hands released light of various colors trying to touch the space on the table. Although Lawrence didn't quite know what the little puppet was looking for, he could probably guess that it was using different magic powers to find out what was hidden in the space above the table.

It took almost half an hour, and Nora tried almost all the magic she had mastered. After finishing the survey, she stopped, and then flew to Lawrence and began to talk about her discoveries.

"According to my inspection, this place is different from what I imagined. It's not an astral plane or a sub-plane." Nora showed a distressed expression. "It's a small fragment of the spirit plane."

"The plane of the spirit world!" Lawrence also showed a distressed expression after hearing this word. It is different from the previous astral planes that are parallel to the main plane and are also the material plane. The spirit world can be said to be a world that is completely different from the main plane and the astral plane, but interdependent.

From a certain point of view, the spirit world is an illusory world. But it is also closely related to many people. For example, the Emerald Dream, represented by a group of druids, is a part of the spirit world. It was jointly transformed by the will of nature and the extraordinary people who practiced the power of nature from generation to generation.

However, there is an important problem in entering the spirit world, that is, unless it is an energy body creature or a god, otherwise, only the soul can enter if you want to enter. However, for a standard flesh and blood creature like a human being in this state, it is very fragile and prone to various problems. For example, death directly after being lost in the spirit world.

"Don't worry, brother, you don't have to worry too much about getting lost in the spirit world with me here." The little puppet knew what Lawrence was thinking when he saw the distressed expression on his face, so he assured him: "I can use pure The power of faith acts as a barrier, so it is basically impossible to get lost after you enter."

"I'm not afraid." After Nora said this, Lawrence recovered from his contemplation just now. Then he looked at Nora who was floating in front of him and looked at him curiously, and said that he didn't want to show any timid expression in front of his acquaintances, not to mention that his pause was indeed not because of fear, but because of his memories A way to enter the spirit world.

As a half-academic spellcaster, Lawrence naturally knew how to enter the spirit world. But the problem is that he has never entered the spirit world before, he just learned how to enter the spirit world from the book. Therefore, it is necessary to recall and sort out the knowledge in the mind before the actual operation, so as to avoid various problems in the actual operation.

After carefully going through the methods on how to enter the spirit world in his mind, Lawrence took out a silver ceremonial dagger from the interspatial bag and drew a small magic circle on the ground. He took out a bottle of potion made of sanctified olive oil and pure silver powder, and a rune pen with a nib made of mithril.

According to Lawrence's current level, he is fully capable of safely entering and exiting the ordinary spirit world without using any magic circle or magic props. But considering that this was his first actual operation, he honestly built a magic circle according to the method written in the book, which was used to assist his soul anchor and provide some protection after entering the spirit world for a while.

"Wait a minute, my lord." Nora stopped Lawrence when he opened the small bottle containing the potion and was about to start drawing, and then summoned a rough clay pot in his hand. "Didn't you say that you should use some of the Faith, add a little power of faith to the medicine you draw the magic circle, so the effect should be better."

After finishing speaking, Nora tilted the jug in her hand and dropped a few drops of the silver liquid inside into Yao Luns' bottle. Then Lawrence used this added potion to draw a magic circle on the ground.

Five minutes later, an uncomplicated magic circle appeared in the cleared space under the platform. Different from the ordinary spirit world travel method magic circle, every line that outlines this magic circle exudes a faint silver-blue light.

"Let's start now." Seeing the magic circle in action, Lawrence stepped forward and sat in the center of the magic circle, and then let himself enter a state of meditation. Soon after his body shook slightly, Lawrence felt his soul fly away The body began to rise rapidly into the deep void.

This feeling of weightlessness was very short, and in less than a second, he felt the power return to himself. Then a world that looked completely different from reality appeared in front of Lawrence.
