Struggle in the Steam Age

Sometimes pioneering work does not require fierce battles, especially when the chosen opponents are some intelligent creatures.

Because under normal circumstances, all creatures have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so the two sides are likely to reach an agreement on many things, instead of choosing to carry it to the end.

For example, this is the case with the sea dragon beast that now occupies the only good natural harbor within more than 200 kilometers around, after Nora went to discuss with the other party in person. The giant sea beast, which was not very violent, quickly reached an agreement with her.

For that sea beast, as an existence that can survive in the sea for a long time, it naturally has multiple dens, and this resting place along the coast is just one of the dozens of temporary resting places in the surrounding large sea area.

So in this case, this small piece of deep sea near the sea is not the best hiding spot for it, because it is too small and not very convenient for activities.

And the reason why it chose that deep sea area as one of its several hiding places is very simple, because that area has fresh water flowing in, so the salinity of the sea water is very low. At the same time, the local water depth can also accommodate its huge body.

For a pure marine creature like it, taking a dip in fresh water is almost a necessity for survival, because doing so will help eliminate the parasites hidden on the body.

After learning about this, Nora took this as a breakthrough, saying that her church could help this huge extraordinary monster clean up those nasty parasites on its body.

This kind of proposal was obviously in line with the thinking of the huge sea dragon beast in front of it, and because Nora's powerful power was indeed a fatal threat to it, it quickly agreed to give up the bay.

After discovering that this huge monster was easy to talk to in front of her, Nora started to think about other things, such as hiring this monster to serve the territory.

This idea is not some baseless fantasy, but fully achievable. For example, those relatively powerful countries or forces often seize the opportunity to raise or hire some monsters with extraordinary power to serve them.

To give the most common example, when Lawrence was a non-staff agent at the Fort Eagle Police Department, he knew that the secret team of the police station had several steelscale dogs.

When faced with some extraordinary criminals that appear every day, these raised extraordinary creatures will naturally provide sufficient assistance for the actions of the police officers.

And for an extraordinary creature like Xianghaidramon whose IQ is smarter than most humans, unless it is slowly raised from a young age, everyone is basically a cooperative relationship.

When Nora proposed to cooperate, the sea drake just thought about it briefly and then expressed its willingness to cooperate. It is far more straightforward than the little doll imagined before.

Because the sea dragon beast promised too neatly, Nora was a little confused at first, worried that this huge sea dragon beast was plotting something.

It wasn't until the two parties quickly agreed on various conditions and signed the treaty with Styx as an oath that Nora finally understood why the sea dragon was willing to sign the treaty with her.

. We all know that the distribution of supernatural creatures in the ocean is basically that the farther they are from the coastline, the stronger their fighting power will be. So this sea dragon beast with legendary level is actually not high level in the ocean.

Creatures like sea dragon beasts can actually be regarded as a kind of dragon-veined creatures, so from the perspective of the starting point, they are much stronger than other sea beasts, and at the same time, they can increase the extraordinary level faster.

But on the other hand, the dragon's bloodline also limits their upper limit of power. For example, this sea dragon beast has been unable to go any further for a long time after successfully breaking through to legend all the way.

Therefore, for this sea dragon beast, if it wants to continue to take a step forward in its extraordinary power, it must find a new path from other places, instead of being trapped to death in its own blood.

So after Nora took the initiative to invite this time, it chose to cooperate with the little doll after simply thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Because in the view of this sea dragon beast, since this powerful being who ignites the fire is willing to discuss with him on such trivial matters, then he should also be able to benefit from this cooperation.

After solving the problem of the sea dragon beast, the construction of the whole area has been accelerated a lot.

After all, compared with the current situation where people and goods need to be connected and transported by various small boats, the construction of a temporary dock in that port can obviously greatly improve the logistics speed.

After more than a month, the construction of the whole area is fully on the right track. And the second batch of personnel and supplies also came here by boat from various parts of the Old World and the New World.

In this case, Lawrence and Nora were finally able to carve out enough time. Come to the work that was planned before: to find the lost gate of the gods.

"According to the information I have summarized in the various tribes of the jackals, I can confirm the following points." During the preparations that day, Nora told Lawrence the information she had summarized during this period.

"First of all, the gate of the gods does exist, and as an immovable miracle, it should have fallen on the main plane along with the kingdom of God, the main god of the ancient Nile civilization, Ah Mu in the final stage of the God War."

"Secondly, the last batch of priests of God Amu had received the news that their gods might fall before the fall of the kingdom of God, and sent an elite team at the most dangerous time after the kingdom of God crashed on the main plane Going to Bitter Lake oasis west of the middle reaches of the Nile in search of something."

"The last and most important piece of news is that when these jackals migrated south, some two members of this team were once seen on a boat, and they seemed to be heading up the Nile along the river like them. .”

"In other words, the other party probably found something that was very important to them in the wreckage of the kingdom of God, and then planned to transfer those items to a safer place."

After hearing what Nora told him, Lawrence quickly drew a conclusion from the information and asked in confusion.

"But the problem is, it's impossible for us to confirm what exactly that elite team took away?"

"Yes, I really can't confirm this point." Nora nodded to admit the statement, and then said, "But we didn't think we could find the gate of the gods before we came."

"You are right, but I think you should know that the Gate of the Gods has a special meaning to me. So if I am sure that this thing does exist and not just a legend, I naturally hope to find such a powerful treasure."

"You're right. In fact, I have the same point of view as you, because I also want to see what my brother's hometown looks like." Nora said with a smile.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if we can't find it, because one day we will be able to stand at the top of this world. At that time, we will be able to find our goal simply by relying on strength and time."

"You're right. Since I can get here, I can go back naturally." After being persuaded by the little puppet, Lawrence became energetic all of a sudden.

"And this time, we will definitely not get nothing from our adventure. At least the church that is in trouble can draw out the elite to find something that is definitely not simple."

"That's right, especially the fact that the other party chose to flee immediately after getting these things. This is enough to explain a lot of problems." Nora's eyes were also shining.

"This shows that the value of these things far exceeds the imagination of normal people, so those people will take these things away as much as possible, instead of returning to the church headquarters along the Nile River to defend the church that was in crisis at that time."
