Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 242: Urgent letter

Because the Second Koye Mountain is a very famous scenic spot around New Kuaiji City, Lawrence and the others conveniently found a short-distance carriage to get here at the public horse station on the outskirts of the city, and then followed the trips of Okita Sakura and Zhu Yan who had been here before. I chose a hot spring hotel with a pure Yingzhou style.

After coming to this hotel on the first day to settle down, they first ate the hot tea and Yingzhou-style desserts provided by the owner to avoid hypoglycemic coma, and then enjoyed it a little bit of sulfur. Smell of hot springs.

On the second night of coming here, Lawrence, Safir and Nora tasted a whole set of authentic Yingzhou feasts in their rooms, featuring fresh ingredients and outstanding food flavors. The most special ones are A local special hot spring egg on a plate has a special flavor.

On the third day, a few people visited some of the surrounding cultural landscapes, especially the small village called Hongye established by the first immigrants on the edge of the mountain river valley, and purchased a variety of things to bring to relatives and friends. Local specialty.

On the last day of the trip, Lawrence and the others got up early in the morning. Then follow the plan to climb the main peak of the second Koyasan behind the hotel. The mountain is not very high, but the scenery along the way is very beautiful. Climbing all the way up the stone steps is like walking in a picture scroll.

When everyone reached the top of the second highest mountain, a small but very clear lake appeared in front of Lawrence and the others. The lake water reflects the clear blue sky, the white clouds and the lake water reflect each other, and the world becomes transparent like a mirror like a fairyland. A sense of tranquility is born in the hearts of all visitors who see this scene.

"It's a clear lake." When he approached the lake and looked down at the red fence, Saifei sighed. Because of the sugar maple all around, many red leaves fell on the lake. And the clear lake water makes the red leaves floating on the lake seem to be floating in the air.

"The scenery here is indeed very beautiful." Lawrence sighed as he looked at the river surrounded by a red maple forest. Then he summoned Shumei and said, "Give us a portrait."

After discovering that Bookmagic can draw text and pictures quickly like an inkjet printer, Lawrence developed a new use for Bookmagic: let it absorb a large amount of dyes of various colors and then make quick pictures, similar to the Polaroid camera of Lawrence's previous life. effect.

"——I’ll say it again, the things made in this way are soulless. Only with a pen can you draw great works with artistic sense." Although Lawrence convinced Shumei in the name that inkjet printing can record history quickly and accurately We provide color inkjet snapshot service for everyone, but every time I stretch myself out and start printing, I will talk about my views on art and philosophy for a long time.

"Okay, okay, let's get started!" Nara patted Shumei with her little hand and let him close his mouth, and then flew between Lawrence and Syfiel and began to pose.

Because this drawing process probably takes more than a minute, Lawrence and the others continued to appreciate the surrounding scenery after Shumei said that they had memorized the previous picture below.

Of course, the little doll Nara still habitually sat on Lawrence's shoulders and looked around. In her eyes, Lawrence's shoulder is her own throne, so as long as the occasion is right, she will sit on Lawrence's shoulder. Fortunately, as an extraordinary person, Lawrence's body has been strengthened a lot, and his shoulders can carry a heavy doll.

Because of her higher position, Nora can naturally see more things than Lawrence. Just when Lawrence and Syfiel lowered their heads and began to admire the clear lake under their feet, Nora suddenly pulled La Lawrence's hair gently and pointed the other hand to the sky and said, "What is the one in the sky?"

"What?" Lawrence raised his head when he heard the words, and saw a baseball-sized metal ball with three pairs of wings quickly flying towards him from the sky. The three pairs of wings on the small ball vibrated rapidly, and it could not even be caught by the naked eye. To the traces of their movement.

The little ball flew very fast, flying to Lawrence in just a few seconds. Then the ball hovered in mid-air and turned in a direction to aim at his face, then opened a small piece of metal on the ball, revealing the size of a marble on the ball, black and white intertwined with a dzi pattern Agate beads.

This agate bead that looks black in the middle and white around it turns in the metal groove of the small ball, as if a flexible eye is observing everything around it. At the same time, a certain kind of Lawrence felt a certain kind of magical fluctuation without any threat from the agate ball and scanned himself again.

After confirming Lawrence's identity using this method, the ball fell into Lawrence's hands, and at the same time the wings were also retracted. Then with a click, a seam broke in the middle of this seemingly integrated ball, and then it opened completely to reveal the contents inside.

"This is?" The little doll sitting on Lawrence's shoulder lowered his head and looked at it. It was unexpectedly found that the ball was divided into two layers by a circle of metal pieces. The outside was a white cotton cloth, and the inside was a ball. A letter from the regiment.

"It looks like someone is looking for me in a hurry." After looking at the rolled up envelope, Lawrence suddenly realized what this thing was. "This should be the highest priority emergency letter of the New World Railway Federation. The information is relayed all the way through the radio communication towers along the railway line in the entire New World, and then the letter is printed out at the station closest to the recipient and then sent to the letter by the alchemy puppet. In the hands of the recipient."

Speaking of Lawrence, he took out the white cotton cloth, and after a little unfolding it, he quickly packed it into his pocket, but Syfiel and Nora saw that the cotton cloth looked like A handkerchief with a painted bunny.

"Why is it a handkerchief?" Saifei is naturally difficult to ask these things, but Nora asked without any taboo. "This way of delivery seems to be out of the ordinary way. Why would anyone post this thing?"

"Well, this is indeed a very rare contact method, and the price is still very expensive." Lawrence had only heard of this postal method only occasionally. At that time, Priest Carter wanted to send a very important I wrote a letter to my friend, and it cost nearly one yuan for postage in just over a thousand kilometers.

"This kind of mailing method needs something from the recipient as a clue and confirms the identity of the recipient ~ lightnovelpub.net~ to ensure the accuracy and safety of the delivery." Lawrence Recalling what Priest Carter said after sending the letter, he explained to Nora and the others, and at the same time took out the letter placed in the middle of the pants and took a look.

"As for this handkerchief, my father sent it, because this kind of magic bird needs something with the atmosphere of a recipient as a guide. And this is the only thing he carries with me that smells of me." Lawrence She shrugged helplessly, and then raised her hand to let go of the metal ball with wings that returned to its original shape after being taken.

"That's right, according to the previously agreed time, Uncle Lambert should now be training in the Great Salt Lake Temple, so it is not too simple to find something that has your breath." When it comes to this, Saifei suddenly frowned. Frowned. "Aren't we going back by train in a few days? Uncle Lambert knew about this before. Why did you suddenly send you such a letter now? Is something wrong?"

"Probably not, what can he do in the training at the Great Salt Lake Temple Headquarters?" Lawrence opened the envelope with some worry. "I hope nothing bad will happen."

"Don't worry, you are not Conan." Nora comforted Lawrence through the soul connection at this time, "Luck is not so bad in theory."
