Struggle in the Steam Age

Because the battlefield was almost cleared at this time, many people gathered to listen to the speech of the priest of the Agricultural Church. After all, for the vast majority of people here, they will live on this land in the future. So they are very concerned about the specific situation of this land. Seeing this, Lawrence immediately found a stone for the priest to stand on, and then cast a spell on him to amplify his voice.

After everything was ready, the priest continued his explanation. It's just that considering the education level of those around him, he replaced those professional languages ​​with more approachable ones. Fortunately, as a priest of the Agricultural Church, he is more suitable for such an occasion, so he quickly stabilized his emotions and started talking to the people around him.

According to him, it is not very difficult to reduce the salinization of this land. After all, this land has a lot of precipitation, and there are also many freshwater streams flowing through it. Therefore, as long as those gaps in the coastline are plugged and fresh water is used to flush the land, this land can quickly become suitable for farming.

After listening to the priest of the Agricultural Church, Lawrence found that everyone's morale had improved visible to the naked eye. Obviously, the future he pictured was very attractive to the immigrants present. In this case, everyone quickly started unloading various things from the ship, and construction started in full swing.

After staying in Mangrove Beach for a few days to thoroughly clean up the scattered goblins on the land and make sure everything was on track, Lawrence and Safir returned to the port of New Shaw on the Enterprise together. Returning with them were the two hundred regular troops and seven offshore steam gunboats. Considering that the colony might be in danger, they left one gunboat behind and ordered it not to return until the fortifications here were built.

When they passed the bay of the port on their way back to the port of New Sauer, they found that the newly purchased heavy artillery had been successfully installed on the gun positions of the fortress. In addition, the foundation of the mine slideway has also been laid, and workers are laying the track for mine deployment with the help of an engineering ship.

For more than a week after returning to the port of New Shaw, Lawrence did not have much administrative affairs to do, mainly because all the matters had been discussed and properly arranged before, so now those matters on the island are proceeding step by step conduct. No targeted guidance is required.

There are some nobles and rich people who like to point fingers when others are doing things, but these people are often second-generation ancestors who don't understand anything. Therefore, it can only be used to show one's own special identity by means of pointing fingers. Obviously, a hands-on pioneer like Lawrence doesn't need to use this kind of method that has no meaning other than creating chaos to show his identity, so naturally he won't do it.

On the contrary, in order to avoid certain influences that his identity might have, Lawrence never commented on things other than his major when he went to various places to check, so as to avoid others from blindly changing some things because of his identity. cause unnecessary losses.

So he spent this time mainly spending time with his relatives and friends besides routine checkups. For example, contact Safir, who is now his fiancée, to get in touch, go hunting together and travel among various farms. Of course, their prey is not those ordinary wild creatures, but those dangerous creatures near the settlements and wandering goblins.

When facing extraordinary people, those small goblin tribes with less than 100 were far from opponents. So these battles are indeed as simple as hunting for Lawrence and the others. Every time after confirming the information, he and Safir rushed into the goblin tribe to kill them, and then the guards were mainly responsible for intercepting the fleeing goblins.

This small group of goblins often only has one or two transcendents, and all of them are of the lowest level. So when facing Lawrence, they basically only have to wait to be killed. After that, the entire goblin tribe was slaughtered by Lawrence and the others.

In addition to going hunting with Safir to relax and connect with each other, the two also held an engagement ceremony under the auspices of their elders. Different from the previous Harvest Festival, the traditional engagement ceremony of the Holy Visby Empire can be said to be very simple. Even nobles only need to exchange rings under the witness of family elders or clergy.

According to tradition, the rings used by nobles are basically ancestral to show family traditions. It's just that neither Lawrence nor Safiel were directly descendants of nobles before, so their engagement rings looked a bit simple, just two silver rings inlaid with colored crystals. Fortunately, except for a small problem with the hardware, the whole process was very smooth.

After completing this major event in life, Lawrence can be considered to have settled an important event. Of course, apart from this matter, what he spent the most time during this period was studying the cup he obtained last time with the little puppet Nora, because the little puppet kept telling Lawrence that as long as she researched the information contained in the cup, You will be able to achieve a fundamental improvement in your overall level and even life level.

On this day, when Nora tried to borrow Lawrence's power again to achieve synesthesia with the silver cup and check the situation inside the silver cup, a powerful aura suddenly appeared on her body. After feeling this, Nora immediately flew out of the window of the room, and then climbed to the sky at the fastest speed.

By the time Lawrence opened the door and rushed out, Nora had already flown to a place 50 to 60 meters above the ground and was suspended in the air. However, different from what I imagined, there was no special sound and light effect or wind, rain, thunder and lightning around. Instead, the breath around the little puppet subsided little by little. After waiting for a few minutes for all the breath on her body to subside, the little puppet simply fell from the sky and floated back to Lawrence.

"What were you doing just now?" Lawrence asked curiously after Nora came down. "I saw that you suddenly flew from the room to the sky after a powerful aura erupted from your body just now, and then fell down again. Can you tell me what is said in it?"

"Uh, this matter is a bit difficult to talk about." Nora glanced around and said. Fortunately, because they considered that this type of research related to magic or even divine arts might cause various problems, they simply I temporarily set up a wooden house on a beach ten minutes away from the port of Novo Sauer for research. That's why the silly action of the little puppet just now was not seen by others.

Because of the relationship between the two, after tweaking a few times, the puppet still told Lawrence why she did what she did just now. To be precise, it is by completely opening up the soul to Lawrence. This is to let Lawrence experience everything that happened to him just now.

After Lawrence and Nora's souls were connected, he was extremely surprised to find that there were countless virtual or real white silk threads in the void that were connecting with the dolls one by one. At the same time, there was a kind of Powerful forces are spreading outward. Before that, he had only seen this scene in that astral plane.

"What's going on here?" Lawrence asked nervously immediately after the soul connection ended, "Are you connected to the entire main world?"

"I don't know either." Nora shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's just that when I was studying that cup, I suddenly broke through a certain barrier, and then it became what it is now."
