Struggle in the Steam Age

"Woo--" Just after Lawrence roughly talked about the future arrangements, the fast capsized ship behind him also completed all the preparations before sailing and blew the whistle.

After realizing that the ship was about to leave, Lawrence immediately finished the most important things in a long story, then walked onto the gangway where the ship was on the trestle and turned back to wave goodbye to the nobles who had sent him off.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Your Excellency." After Lawrence waved, Viscount Surrey and several nobles behind him bowed to Lawrence very seriously, then straightened up and waved to Lawrence.

"We will always remember your help to this land. If it weren't for you, it might take a long time for this place to develop."

"This is what I should do." Lawrence replied humbly. In any case, he and New Sauer Island have also gained a lot of benefits from this cooperation, so he naturally has his own understanding on this matter.

After Lawrence boarded the deck of the ship along the gangplank, the fastest steam sailboat on the island, the Fengxue, quickly retracted the gangplank and hoisted its sails, and then slowly left the dock.

But when the ship left the pier and passed the lighthouse at the end of the breakwater, Lawrence could still see the nobles waving their arms to say goodbye to him.

"It seems that everyone in this place likes you very much." Seifel, who was standing beside Lawrence, said looking at the distant coast.

"Because I helped them and gave them a brighter future than the original situation." Lawrence said while looking at the coastline.

"The core principle of this world is actually very simple. Basically, you will get the same reward if you pay. For example, I helped others in this place, so I naturally gained my benefits and everyone's gratitude."

As the ship gradually moved away from the coastline, the surrounding scenery gradually became monotonous. Looking around, there is only gray sky, cold sea wind and waves constantly hitting the ship's side.

Although Lawrence and Safiel, who are extraordinary beings, are not very afraid of the cold, it is definitely not a good idea to stand on the deck and blow the cold wind. So shortly after the ship left the port, Lawrence and Safiel hid back in the cabin to rest.

This ship was originally a fast transportation ship prepared by an earl in the northern archipelago, and it is usually used to transport some important personnel or materials.

And this time when Lawrence said that he needed to return urgently, it happened that the ship had just completed a transport and returned to Green Island. So those lords directly sent this teleportation Lawrence to the south.

Taking advantage of this free time, Lawrence immediately contacted the little puppet Nora through soul contact, and then began to deal with a lot of work with the little puppet.

The most important part of it is related to the priesthood, because the core of the development of each church is to be consistent with the doctrine of serving the gods, and this doctrine is derived from the priesthood.

So no matter what Lawrence and the others are going to do now, they must figure out that Nora's priesthood is the core of the core. Otherwise, all subsequent work cannot be carried out.

Nora's current priesthood scope is mainly divided into three aspects, the first is the core priesthood. The core priesthood that allows the doll to give an eye is far beyond the best imagination before, because the name of this priesthood is Tianyan.

Yes, it is the "Tianyan" in "Tianyanlun", and it is also the core force in the field of life.

According to Nora, the idea of ​​this power first came from the genetic ascension in Lawrence's impression, but she didn't expect that this power was so high in this world.

In addition, relying on the core priesthood of Tianyan, Nora also derived another priesthood: microbes.

The second aspect is about the priesthood of a certain area, that is, the priesthood of Sauer Island and the surrounding islands and seas, which is similar to the city god and land god.

The last aspect is the priesthood related to some races, because her previous followers were all jackals, and her birth did come from the Harpy God, a god related to jackals.

So Nora naturally obtained the priesthood of the jackal, a racial god, after igniting the divine fire.

In fact, neither Nora nor Lawrence took this priesthood seriously, because there are almost no jackals in the civilized world.

But what they didn't know was that just after Nora had completely determined her priesthood, in the tropical rainforest in the middle of the Eastern Yanzhou in the sea, which had almost never been set foot by civilized races, hundreds of jackal tribes discovered the priesthood they enshrined at the same time. One of the gods in those shrines suddenly emitted a faint white light.

Of course, what happened in Yanzhou on the other side of the sea would not affect Lawrence and the others for a while. The most important thing for them now is to recognize these priesthoods and make corresponding arrangements.

The so-called priesthood that Nora holds now is only a secondary priesthood. Because although the little puppet completed the ceremony at that time and ignited the fire, she is not a real god now.

Because although the little puppet has condensed priesthood and godhood, these priesthoods and godheads are still a bit worse than the existence of the same kind possessed by real gods. And the core of this is the mastery of the underlying rules of the entire world.

If they are real gods, then they will thoroughly grasp the rules of the world represented by their priesthood, and can change the rules themselves at a certain price.

But beings like the little puppet who have just ignited the fire, but have not raised their own kingdom of God to enter the astral plane, naturally have a lot less control over the various rules.

They can indeed master these rules like real gods, and they can also obtain extremely high authority and power in related fields, but they cannot change those rules like real gods.

Obviously, Nora also realized the importance of priesthood. Therefore, when she chose her priesthood before, she carefully analyzed the memories in Lawrence's mind, and did not rely entirely on luck like some monsters became gods.

After all, the gods in this world are actually more like the ancient Greek gods in Lawrence's previous life as a whole. That is to say, although they have super power, they also have their own emotions.

Therefore, there is a complex relationship between gods and gods that is no less complicated than that between human beings, and this naturally includes various mutual hatred relationships.

There are many reasons for the mutual hatred between the gods, the most common of which is the conflict of priesthood. This conflict of priesthood includes both those priesthoods that are hostile to each other, as well as various priesthoods of the same kind.

For example, a deity with a portfolio of war and a deity with a portfolio of peace are naturally hostile to each other, but two deities with a portfolio of war are equally hostile.

Among them, the former kind of hostility is very normal, which is the same as the incompatibility of water and fire. The latter kind of hostility is based on the mentality that colleagues are enemies.

Therefore, for a newly ignited divine fire, it is natural to choose a priesthood carefully, so as to avoid some unnecessary dangers.

If there is an evil or even a neutral faction that is hostile, then the two sides will naturally face off against each other directly. But because of the existence that can ignite the fire, except for a very few, it is not too bad in terms of level or behavior.

So even if those veteran gods really have the upper hand, this kind of action of eradicating the roots will not exceed 1/3 of the singers in the end.

As for the gods of the good camp, they are much gentler in this respect, and they are often suppressed or incorporated. In fact, the purpose of many people in the good camp to choose a priesthood is to follow a certain god and become a god.

The reason why the little puppet chooses these priesthoods now is purely because she has learned Lawrence's way of following the heart, so she specially found this group of priesthoods that are basically blank in the world of gods as her priesthood.
