Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 433: Converge

New Lemnos is an important transportation hub located more than 100 nautical miles northeast of the capital of Elysion, Ilysia, and the main island of the Shield Islands. This large group of small islands first existed as an outpost on the outskirts of Ilysia, the capital of Elsion, but later with the development of society, the population increased. This archipelago has gradually become an important outer port of Ilysia and the most important seafood distribution center.

In the early years, both the port business and the distribution and distribution of seafood in this area were mainly completed in the Yilixia region. But with the passage of time, those businesses have also begun to be detrimental to the positioning of the capital of Ilysia. For example, the fishy seafood market is definitely not suitable for the prosperous area of ​​the capital.

At the same time, steam engines are generally used for navigation. The sailing voyage, which may take two to three days of uncertain time to complete, has become a steamship route that only takes one day to arrive on time. The most important thing is that steam ships used for short-haul routes do not need as much space for loading fuel and fresh water. Compared with the reduced space for transportation, the journey time can be shortened by half and can be greatly improved. Efficiency and profit.

In this way, New Lemnos will naturally be able to take over part of the functions diverted from Ilysia. So since the last emperor of a country issued a development order 80 years ago, the island has changed from a small fishing town to a prosperous trading center in a short period of time.

However, Lawrence does not have much time to visit this prosperous city known as the miracle of the New World. After landing in an airship field on the outskirts of the city, he hurriedly thanked the crew on the boat and left here as quickly as possible, and then found a place that no one paid attention to so that Nara pulled himself into the air. Because according to the telegram he received on the airship, the Enterprise had successfully arrived here more than an hour ago and was parked in the open sea waiting.

Only ten minutes later, the two people crossed the coastline smoothly in the air and found the Enterprising, which was waiting for them three to four kilometers away from the coastline. As soon as their feet stepped on the deck, the boiler on the ship began to pressurize, and then sailed to the depths of the sea.

Lawrence looked a lot more relaxed after returning to his ship, but just after he entered the cabin, the ship's chief officer stopped him. And began to report about what happened on the ship during the time he was away. Unlike the sailors on ordinary warships, the crew on the Enterprise and the snack crews can basically be regarded as Lawrence's direct troops, so during this period, there are not many navy warships that have caused all kinds of **** after landing.

Of course, no major event happened on board does not mean that nothing else happened. After talking about the series of trivia, the first officer told Lawrence at the end a very important news: "Your aunt, on behalf of Viscount Doropia, sent us all the things that Viscount Doropia sent us yesterday. We are all in the warehouse. It's fixed, do you need to check it now?"

"Then let's go take a look." Lawrence nodded and said, then turned to the little puppet who had been a little taciturn since he got the cup, lowered his head and asked; "Nara, you are going down with me to take a look. Well, or go back to the room and continue to study your things?"

"Of course I'm going to take a look at the following things with you!" Hearing what Lawrence said, Nora's originally seemingly dull expression suddenly became energetic, as if it was suddenly activated for some reason. "After all, I am also very curious what your aunt will give you something."

"I thought you were going back to the room to study." Lawrence smiled after hearing this as a child. "After all, you were busy studying that trophy all day yesterday. I thought that all your recent work will focus on the study of that thing. There is no time to do other things."

"I may need to study that thing for a long time to get some results. There is no need to rush in such a hurry." After Lawrence said this, the little doll shrugged and said, "Yesterday I focused on my attention. The above is just because I was in a very excited state after winning that important trophy at once."

"And I also have a general understanding of that thing. At least from my point of view, it is more appropriate for such a thing to be returned to our own island for research, and the current situation at sea is no matter whether it is for research or for research. Our boat is not good." At this point, the little doll gently chopped the deck with his feet and floated to Lawrence's side. "So I decided to temporarily stop my research during this time on the ship."

"Okay, then let's go to the bottom warehouse to see what my aunt gave me a bunch of things." Lawrence said as he reached out and took Nara's little hand, and then followed the chief mate towards the cargo warehouse on the lower deck of the ship. Go, on the way, he asked Nora through the soul connection. "By the way, what's the matter with your research that actually put the people on board in danger?"

"It's mainly because the power contained in that cup is related to the gods." When facing Lawrence's question, it was naturally impossible for Nora to conceal anything. "Do you remember the white mist that entangled the bugs? Inside this cup is the source of the white mist that also has a certain spirit of spirit."

"Really?" Hearing this, Lawrence was also aroused by Nora's words, because their previous investigation was almost biased by the power of the water-related gods in the mist, let alone the subsequent battles. The white mists in the middle showed extremely strong deformability and greatly improved the defensive power of the beetles, creating a lot of trouble for Lawrence and the others in the battle.

"It's true." Nora nodded and said. "Obviously, a researcher of that kind of profession is not a fool. He should have something with the power of the Zerg prince and this cup at the same time, so he prepared to use the kind of water in the cup that is relatively calm and has a certain purification effect. The attribute power tried to eliminate the aggressive part of the Zerg prince's power~lightnovelpub.net~ He should have failed at that time." Lawrence thought for a while and said. In his impression, the monster only showed his extraordinary defense power, regeneration ability, and unparalleled defense power. But it did not reflect the slightest aspect related to intelligence. If it succeeds, this monster should not be like an ignorant existence that is inferior to a beast.

"It really failed, and the message I got from that cup was that his failure was related to the explosion you made with a lot of explosives." At this point, Lawrence's mind sounded with laughter from the little doll. "You must know that the power and complexity of the power of the gods is very difficult for ordinary people to understand, let alone control this power."

"So that guy lost control of the ceremony at the beginning of the ceremony and turned into a battlefield where two divine powers conflict. Coupled with the impact of the collapse of the mountain caused by your explosion, that guy was completely annihilated in the two divine power conflicts. However, in this way, the two gods came into direct contact and a serious chaos occurred. In the end, a powerful monster with a high level of strength but water was created."

"Sure enough, I am not strong enough to have a chance and no effect." After listening to Nora's words, Lawrence thought, and then asked nervously, "Then you are okay with that cup?"

"Of course it's okay, don't forget my origin." Nara heard the concern in Lawrence's words, so she quickly said, "And the previous collision of different divine powers has a benefit, that is, the one in the cup is related to water. His supernatural power is now much weaker than before, which is more convenient for my research."

"If that's the case, that would be great." Lawrence also let go of his heart when the little doll said so.
