Struggle in the Steam Age

Guided by those golden badges, Lawrence and Nora quickly found a way on this seemingly uncharacteristic hillside, and moved forward along the road on the ice field.

"I think we're almost there." After killing a group of elemental creatures blocking the way, the two rushed into a cave. And at the entrance of the cave, there is a palm-sized golden badge inlaid in this way.

"Here—" Lawrence said as he walked forward, but before he finished speaking, Nora grabbed his skirt from behind.

"Wait a minute, I have to go in front of you at this place." The little puppet said nervously when it floated to about the same height as Lawrence. "There are many unseen threats in this place."

After finishing speaking, she took out a wooden water cup from her body and threw it towards the front of the corridor, which seemed nothing special in front of her. As a result, the cup broke into several pieces before it fell to the ground.

"The cave is full of violent power of space, and now only I can see it." Nora led Lawrence carefully against the wall of the cave to bypass the dangerous area with hidden murderous intentions, and then explained.

At this time, Lawrence also noticed that the fragments of the cups on the ground were very neatly broken, as if they had been cut into several pieces by some kind of extremely sharp tool.

Seeing this scene, Lawrence took a breath, because the power of space is almost indestructible, if he just walked over like that, it would probably be cut directly like this cup.

Under normal circumstances, these space cracks filled with space power will reveal some observable situations due to force conflicts, such as some special light or obvious energy reactions.

But now, the space magic and turbulence in the cave are so secretive that Lawrence didn't find any clues just now.

"Only the power of the gods can analyze these things that are wrong." Nora said to Lawrence who was following her carefully.

"I believe that group of people should have used the power left by some kind of god to achieve the effect similar to that of a god. After all, even if the god falls, some power can last for a long time."

Any existence that ignites the divine fire and has mastered some authority has a certain degree of prophecy or the ability of true vision. Although it looks a lot compared to those who have this kind of priesthood, it is much better than most mortals.

For example, although Nora is not a real god now, she who has already ignited the fire can accurately predict the space cracks that appear on the road in advance, and lead Lawrence to avoid those dangerous areas.

As they moved forward step by step, some things obviously related to intelligent creatures began to appear in the cave. For example, some weapons that are also cut into several sections by space cracks, or some trimmed wood or even some polished stones.

Thanks to the characteristics of low temperature and low oxygen in this area, the remains of those items are relatively well preserved. At least Lawrence and the others can accurately identify what these items are.

"It can be confirmed that what we are tracking now is indeed the group of elites belonging to the Church of Amon-La." Nora sent out a silver thread to hook a spearhead back from the edge of the crack in space and said.

This is a strange-looking spear, because it has several spells attached to it with magic gemstones and gold, but the steel quality of the spear itself is average. It doesn't look like it's worthy of the gold, gems and enchantments on it.

"This is already the best steel that the group of ancient Niles could produce at that time. Of course, it is incomparable with today's steel." Nora tapped a gilt emblem on the spear and said.

"For example, today's level of steel can only be used as a sewer cover or a lamppost, but in those days it was already one of the top weapons."

With these evidences, Lawrence and the others could be more sure that their target was close at hand. Sure enough, as they moved on, more evidence that the church had been here appeared on the road.

Weapons, armor, ceremonial items—these should be the items used by the church in the past densely appearing on the road, but they are all broken now, and all have very smooth fractures.

"The coming of the gods in person and the use of divine power with the help of the gods are two completely different concepts."

After avoiding a small-scale space crack in the cave with an extremely embarrassed posture, Nora whispered to Lawrence. And beside them, a shattered mummy fell to the ground like that.

"For example, I can now accurately capture the real-time location of those active space cracks, but if I am in the Kingdom of God, even you can at most know that there are probably cracks in this place."

"And the reason why this soldier died in this place is because the other party can probably know that there is a space crack in this place, but they don't know where it is. Therefore, the elite team can only rely on manpower to find the specific location of the space crack."

"But the other party obviously didn't think that the space crack in this place is constantly moving, so they died here when they were caught off guard."

Speaking of this, Nora shot a silver thread to hook back the weapon that the mummy was holding just now and took a closer look.

"That's right, the person lying here was indeed an elite back then." The little puppet nodded, then handed the weapon in his hand to Lawrence and said. "Look, the weapons they use are already Mithril,"

Lawrence's first reaction after taking the sickle-shaped knife was that it was very light, and after wiping off the dust, the silver-blue light clearly showed the material of this weapon.

The extraction of mithril is not such a simple matter, even with the addition of extraordinary power. Especially in the early days of human beings, the only church that could use divine power was able to stably extract this magic metal in batches.

Therefore, finding people with such weapons in this place can only show one thing, that is, they are getting closer and closer to the target they want to find.

When Lawrence and the others passed through the dense space cracks in the passage to the end of the cave, what appeared at the end of the cave was a small ball that released lightning to the surroundings. And around the space door are more than a dozen mummy kneeling there in the same posture.

"What happened here?" Lawrence couldn't help frowning after seeing this weird scene. "Why does this feel like a cult sacrifice—"

"Life, blood and soul." After flying around these corpses, Nora quickly judged the identities of these people and what they were doing before, and then looked at the little ball.

"This small ball should be a space beacon." After a few seconds, Nora figured out what happened in this place that year.

"And the other party should adopt the method of self-sacrifice to open a passage at this weak point in space, and then let the core personnel in the team escape directly with the items they carried before."

"Then what should we do next?" Lawrence asked helplessly, because he didn't know what he should do next.

"It's very simple, just expand this coordinate point." Nala looked at the small ball that released lightning around it and said, "But it may take me a while to analyze the divine power of Amon-La back then."

The reason why the little puppet needs to analyze the divine power is because this space beacon can only be opened by the divine power of Amon-Ra, so if she and Lawrence want to enter, they must imitate the divine power of the lost god. .

This was also the last thing that group of Amon-La's most elite personnel did. They hoped that those who could follow the badges they left behind would be people who had the same beliefs as themselves in the future.
