Struggle in the Steam Age

As a spellcaster, Lawrence was naturally placed in the middle of the team as usual. It's just because he is a warlock and is relatively young, so he is actually standing at the forefront of all spellcasters, so he can see the situation ahead through the gaps in the shields held by the several paladins in front.

This cave is not very small, at least it is larger than the caves that Lawrence drilled when he visited Fatina and the other rat people. At least the height of the hole can be as high as one and a half to two floors, and the passage can accommodate five or six people walking side by side. And because of the local climate, the air here is also dry and cool, not as humid as the air on the island.

However, this kind of spacious cave also means that there is more space for those who hide here. When everyone walked more than ten meters into the cave, Lawrence suddenly felt the paper placed at the front of the team. The person disappeared without a sound, and at the same time, several priests around also issued warning sounds.

"Gentlemen, be careful." A priest of the Agricultural Church said loudly, "My pine cone puppet suddenly lost contact. There may be an ambush in the corner on the right 15 meters ahead." Falling, others including Lawrence also issued a warning, and then the speed of the entire team suddenly dropped to the lowest level, and everyone was nervously holding their weapons or preparing magic or divine spells, ready to meet The enemy attacks immediately.

"Can kill my four ghost ghosts in one go, seven or eight little paper figurines, plus the series of magic props released by other people for reconnaissance. The ones waiting for us in front of us are probably not human beings." Through the connection of the soul Lawrence shares his doubts with Nora. "At least in my opinion, it is very difficult for ordinary human beings, even if they are superhumans, to clean up the things we released for reconnaissance almost at the same time."

It makes sense for Lawrence to say this. Considering that this is for the sake of investigation, the monster phantoms he prepared are all phantoms of some insects. The magic power contained in these phantoms is extremely weak like the paper dolls, and they are very small. Because of its small size, it is theoretically difficult to be found. Not to mention that besides his scouting props, there are a lot of magic props belonging to other people distributed in that place. He thinks that all the people here can only do this if Nora puts all his strength into it.

"I feel the power of the gods. If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the domain of some gods." After Lawrence finished speaking, the first words that Nora sent to Lawrence through the soul connection made him I felt the hairs on my back standing up. After all, entering a non-friendly realm of gods can definitely be called an act of courting death.

"But you don't need to be too nervous." After realizing that Lawrence's mood suddenly became tense, Nora quickly comforted her. "If I'm not mistaken, the previous domain of the gods can only be said to be a pseudo-domain. In other words, it was not released consciously by some gods, but more like the core of some kind of divine power caused by loss of control. leak."

"Divine power leaked?" After hearing what the little puppet said, Lawrence also remembered that the information collected before specifically pointed out that the source of the detected divine power pollution came from a fallen god. If it was a fallen god, Then his remnants in the world are likely to produce something similar to a domain.

Just after Lawrence figured out what was going on in front of him, several senior priests in the team also noticed the divine power reaction in front of them. After all, among the extraordinary people of the same level, these priests who serve the gods are the most sensitive group of people to divine power. For example, when they perceive the previous divine power reactions, they perceive it a little later than Nora perceives.

"Everyone, stop for a moment." The most senior priest in the team, a priest from the Earth Mother Church, said, the brown smoky crystal inlaid on the cooking stick in his hand was shining. "The front seems to be some kind of hostile god's domain, I can't just rush in so rashly."

"Is it the domain of the Zerg prince?" a paladin of the Church of Agriculture asked. "I remember what our goal is this time. Is this our goal?"

"No, it's not, although I really hope it is." The priest of the Mother Earth Church said, and at the same time took off the glowing smoky crystal from the wooden staff in his hand, and then began to point at This crystal casts spells. "To figure out the source of these forces in detail, I think I'll have to take a closer look."

After his words fell, everyone maintained the highest level of vigilance and continued to move forward for a certain distance. When they turned the corner carefully, they unexpectedly found that there was nothing behind the corner, only a large group of faint white mist floating here to completely block the cave.

Seeing this, Lawrence and the others immediately took out a batch of props for magical investigation and directed them to rush into the mist. Sure enough, just like last time, these things completely lost contact with the manipulator after they entered the cloud of mist. No matter what method you take, you can't contact these props for reconnaissance.

It seems that the situation just now was like this. Among the magic props that Lawrence and the others sent out for reconnaissance, one of them probably accidentally triggered a certain mechanism in the cave, and then these mist with divine power filled the whole place. The cave completely cut off all connections inside and outside the cave.

After confirming that this mist is the culprit of various problems now, several priests took out a lot of magic props from their arms and began to inspect the mist at close range. With the release of divine spells one by one, the specific situation of the fog in front of him also began to lift the mysterious veil little by little.

"This group of divine power shouldn't belong to our target." A priest of the goddess of wealth held up the gold plate in his hand to show Lawrence and the others. Lawrence saw that part of the gems inlaid on the gold plate lit up, and on the gold plate A blue ball of light is projected above, and some black and white mist are mixed together to form strands of gray mist that go in and out of the light ball.

"Look, this is the conclusion of the inspection." Then, the priest pointed to the light ball and said, "Now the power of the gods contained in this white mist should be related to water, while those black and white mist are It means that the authority of this god to help me should be related to nature, so I can integrate good and evil to maintain neutrality—"

"Something is approaching us." Just as the priest explained to Lawrence and the others and discussed with everyone what to do next. Nora, who had been vigilant before, suddenly alerted Lawrence. "And we can feel the hostility towards us in these things."

"What!" Lawrence stood up immediately after hearing this sentence, and then warned everyone according to what the little doll said to himself in his mind, "My friend who constructs life feels that there are a lot of things that are useful to us. Hostile things are approaching us step by step."

"How many of these things are there? From which direction are they approaching us?" Hearing what Lawrence said, everyone in the team became nervous, and then a paladin from the Church of Agriculture asked Lawrence. "The most important thing is the strength of the opponent."

"The number is very large, at least it has exceeded 5,000 now." Lawrence's first answer made everyone's faces change drastically, but the following words made everyone's faces even uglier, "And these things are coming to us. The speed of the approach is very fast, and we must make a decision."
