Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 210: clue

The lunch at noon was full of the characteristics of the Republic of New South Wales, because the waiters at the front desk found out that Lawrence and they were foreigners, first tried to find an interpreter, but found that Lawrence not only speaks Aurora but also has some understanding of the Republic After that, the front desk clerk began to enthusiastically recommend various local specialties to him.

  Of course, the kitchen in this average hotel is not big, and there are few chefs. As a whole, it is just a small restaurant that can provide a simple breakfast and dinner. These seemingly sumptuous menus actually belong to nearby restaurants that have partnerships with hotels. And every time a dish is promoted, the hotel and the waiter get a part of the commission.

   When it was time for lunch, the waiter used a trolley to bring a sumptuous lunch of six dishes and one soup plus a small wooden barrel of staple rice into the room where Lawrence and the others were. Because Lawrence said before that he and his companions are extraordinary people, and have a big appetite. So the amount of these dishes has been deliberately increased.

"Ha, I eat, the food on the train is still a bit simpler than in ordinary restaurants." After moving the food to the table in the room, Lawrence and the three of them first served a bowl of rice for themselves, and then picked it up. Take the chopsticks and eat.

"Cherry meat, I used to eat it at home, but I feel that the chef here is much better than my mother's." From a plate, Safir used chopsticks to pick out a piece of meat wrapped in attractive red sauce. , Then put the rice in his bowl and ate the rice, then raised his head and said to Lawrence.

"My mother met an Aurora female chef who came to the Federation to open a restaurant when she was on the train. Because she was chatting very happily in the car at the time, the female chef probably taught my mother how to cook cherry meat. The dish she cooks for us when she gets home is always too sweet."

"What is this thing, it tastes a bit like fish, and it tastes delicious." At this time, the little doll took a male spoon and took out a spoonful of shredded pork with dark sauce from the bowl. After taking a bite in his own bowl, he raised his head and asked Lawrence.

   "Sound oil eel, this is a special dish of Aurora people." Lawrence took out a handkerchief and wiped the sauce on the corner of the doll's mouth and introduced it. "After they immigrated to the New World, they accidentally discovered that there was a new species of eel that was more tender and larger than the hometown eel, so this dish became a special dish in the northern part of the Republic of Xinzhou. "

   In short, although there are many dishes that people don’t recognize on the table for this meal, the taste of these dishes is unexpectedly in line with everyone’s taste, so everyone had a very happy meal.

   Less than half an hour after the lunch ended, Lawrence, who was reading, heard a knock on the door. After stepping forward and opening the door, Lawrence saw Zhu Yan, who was wearing a windbreaker and carrying his baby magic assault rifle on his back, standing outside the door, and standing behind him was wearing a big red dress with lace edges. , Okita Sakura with two samurai swords, one long and one short, stuck in her waist.

   "Welcome to Xin Kuaiji." After seeing Lawrence open the door, Zhu Yan hugged Lawrence a little excitedly. "Also, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to come directly after receiving my letter."

   "It's nothing, after all, it's helping a friend." At this time, Lawrence wouldn't say that he was coming over so soon, simply because there was nothing to do during this time. So I ran over when I heard something happened.

   After a brief introduction to each other, everyone sat down at the table together, and Lawrence asked a question that he had been thinking about. "Can you tell me why you need to call me in the Federation this time?"

   "Is it safe here?" Zhu Yan did not directly answer Lawrence's question, but asked another question. "What I'm going to say next is very important and must not be leaked out."

"It should be no problem. I checked it when I first entered this house. At the same time, this hotel was randomly selected by me. It is impossible for anyone to do tricks here in advance." Lawrence nodded. After all, he read the news in his previous life. There are more stories of some wicked guys installing monitors in the hotel, so every time I go to a place, I always choose to use the newly mastered ability similar to the magic [Secret Vision] to observe it.

   "If you can ensure the safety, it will be great." After confirming the confidentiality of the house, Zhu Yan quickly and neatly stated the reason why he had written to call Lawrence. "The reason why I have to trouble you to rush over from the east of the Great Mountain Range is because I discovered the location of a ruin. This ruin is likely to be related to a gold-class caster. And now I can explore this place with me when I have time. You are the only reliable caster in the ruins."

   "Relics—what kind of relics are they?" After hearing about the relics related to gold-class spellcasters, Lawrence was also interested, so he hoped to get more information.

   "That is the remains of a magic ship, a ship that belongs to a certain powerful and extraordinary person." At this point, Zhu Yan looked around vigilantly before lowering his voice and said to everyone at the table. "And that ship is more advanced than the magic ship that we commonly use purely as a weapon or vehicle."

   "You mean the base ship?" As a spellcaster, Lawrence instantly realized what Zhu Yan was talking about, and then frowned.

  According to a lot of information previously instilled by the **** of knowledge, the so-called base ship is actually a form of mage tower. After all, the Mage Tower is just a general term for this type of facility, and does not mean that it must be a tower-shaped building. It's just because the earliest facilities of this type are tower-shaped so they have this name.

   But even the simplest mage tower requires at least one million yuan in money to purchase materials and build it. Almost one in a hundred spellcasters who can afford such a price alone. Not to mention that the mage tower built into a base ship is three times the construction cost of an ordinary mage tower.

  Naturally, such a high value is exchanged for the solidity of the Mage Tower itself~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if no one is in charge, the automatic defense system inside can defeat a small-scale army. Under this circumstance, Lawrence and the others would basically only give away their heads if they explored.

After seeing his worry from Lawrence’s expression, Zhu Yan explained with a short smile, “What we want to explore is not the main part of the base ship. The ship has been sunk in the war. The extraordinary people of the Republic and Aurora have explored for several times, and now they are just empty shelves."

"What we are looking for is actually only a part of the lowest deck of the ship, and it is also the escape mechanism of the entire ship. Before that base ship sank, several core personnel on the ship successfully used this escape mechanism to sink. Escaped from the boat."

"Unfortunately, when they abandoned their escape pods in the shallow waters to go ashore, they encountered an attack by a school of Leviathan sharks attracted by a large number of corpses caused by the war. As a result, only one person finally gave up an arm and was hit. The price of damage so serious that it was irreversible escaped ashore."

   "Maybe because of the serious injury of his wife, this man hid after going ashore, then got married and had a child incognito for a lifetime. Even when he could go home after the war, he never left the New World Republic.

"And my information was found from the descendants of that person. His descendants are now ordinary people and are working in my gun accessories factory. So after I found the notes left by my ancestors, I took this thing directly. The 35-hectare small farm was sold to me at a price, so I got the news."
