Struggle in the Steam Age

"To be honest, I don't think these tea leaves may be unusable." After hearing Lawrence's muttering, Nora flew up to Lawrence and comforted him, "However, it will take some time for me to confirm the specific situation, because Those methods of mine need enough time to be tested."

Speaking of this, Nora turned her head to look at the tauren hunter who was sent to lead the way, then turned her head to look at Lawrence and said, "And the most important thing is that we need the help of these tauren, because this kind of experiment The basis is that consuming a large amount of tea can even cause damage to some tea trees, so we have to get their consent."

"Are all the trees on a hill enough?" Because Lawrence and the others didn't avoid the tauren hunter when they spoke, he naturally heard Lawrence's discussion. "If it is not enough, it is also possible to add two or three hills."

Both Lawrence and Nora were shocked by the boldness of the tauren, because in the White Eagle Federation, a small bag of tea can only brew a pot, even the cheapest one costs 35 cents, so even if all the tea trees here are of the kind that cannot The tea tree is used as a drink, but the method of showing several hills with a wave of the hand is really unexpected and bold.

"Anyway, for us, the leaves of these trees are usually used to treat minor diseases, and they can't cure any serious diseases. Therefore, the leaves on two to three hills per year for all our tribes are enough. And in this hill There are at least five or six hundred mounds with trees in the area, so it’s okay to give you three or five.” After seeing Lawrence and the others puzzled, the tauren hunter explained why he said that .

It is indeed a good thing to find a large semi-wild tea garden, but for Lawrence and the others, the main task today is to go deep into the core area of ​​the hilly area to investigate the temple. So on the road, after Nora collected dozens of kilograms of tea with magic and put them into the space bag, the three continued to walk forward. .

As he walked all the way to the depths of the hills, Lawrence found that the road under his feet began to change: when they first came out of the tribe, the path they followed was obviously stepped on by the tauren over time. Not only was it rough, but also Some places have turned into a pile of muddy mud because of the low-lying terrain, and people have to go around from the high places on both sides.

But more than two hours after the departure, the road under the feet of the three people also began to have obvious artificial traces. At first only part of the ground was hardened, but then the ground began to be covered with gravel, and finally even a floor of stone slabs appeared.

"Did you take these stone slabs back and use them?" Lawrence asked the tauren hunter who was leading the way curiously, seeing that the ground on the ground became more and more complete as it went forward. Because he found that as he walked along the road, the degree of completion of the road became higher and higher, so he suspected that the stone slabs on the road at the beginning were taken back by the Tauren for use.

"We don't want these slabs." The tauren hunter who led the way shook his head and said, "After all, our house doesn't need these slabs, and if we want to use stones, we can go to the river to fish a few. Why? You have to run so far and carry the stone back from here."

"Then the situation in this place is—" Nora looked suspiciously at the road on the ground, because this road really looked like a construction site that was half-repaired and abandoned.

"We don't know either." The tauren shrugged. "At least that's what my grandpa's grandpas looked like when they first found out about this place after they moved here. Several of our shamans inspected the place at the time, but they came to the conclusion that the architecture of the place was never It has not been repaired, I don’t know why, those people gave up the half-lost temple and everything and left here.”

Hearing what the tauren hunter said, Lawrence now felt that there might be more secrets hidden in his territory than he had imagined before. As a young man who grew up in a church, Lawrence knew that any church of a true god would carefully survey and select a site before construction, but once it was selected, it would continue to be built as long as there were no major problems. It's very rare for a building to be half-built and thrown away like this.

When the three of them came to the main building of the church, Lawrence became more determined, because although the main building of the church was in ruins, according to the remaining conditions on the site, it could be seen that the building had not been built at all. Rather than the kind of ruins that everyone imagined before being destroyed due to various reasons.

"This ruins should have something to do with the elves." Lawrence saw the style of the building at the first glance when he saw the wreckage of the construction site. After all, the only ones in this world who can repair buildings as handicrafts are the elves.

Although many parts of the wreckage of this construction site are not covered, especially the most elf-like carvings are only a little bit. But the overall style is already evident. Lawrence has always felt that the things made by the elves in this world are a bit like those luxury goods in his previous life. They are tasteful, high-grade, and of good quality, but the price-performance ratio is a mess.

However, considering that the elves have a lot of time, it is very reasonable for them to decorate those weapons and armor. But for ordinary human beings, if you say that it is understandable to draw pictures on the gun, then the practice of decorating even the bullets seems a bit too stupid.

After walking into the ruins of the construction site, Lawrence began to check the situation of the entire ruins. Both the tauren and the humans who came here have inspected the ruins before, but because they are all non-professionals, the inspection work can be said to be very rough, and they may have missed something.

The first step in the inspection is to turn on special vision, but there is no magic aura on the ruins. This was not beyond Lawrence's expectations, because both the first batch of tauren who discovered this place and the previous batch of humans brought here by the tauren were accompanied by spellcasters. So if there was something with magical aura, they should have taken it away long ago, and it was impossible for Lawrence and the others to find it today.

"Are you looking for something valuable here?" Seeing Lawrence's sky blue eyes glowing slightly, the tauren hunter asked. As the best hunter in the tribe, he has experienced many things blessed by the shaman of his own tribe, so he is no stranger to spellcasting by spellcasters.

"Yes, I'm looking for something good in this ruin." There was no need to hide this from the tauren hunter, so Lawrence admitted his purpose straightforwardly. "By the way, have you ever heard of any treasures unearthed in this place?"

"I know that." The tauren hunter said after thinking for a while. "The Spring Water Tribe took a marble fountain stone sculpture from here. As long as the stone sculpture is placed in some wet places, clean water can be seen continuously from it. At least for us, that fountain can be used by a tribe. "

"But your place is not short of water." Nora asked a little puzzled. "What's the use of having a fountain like that?"

"Of course it is useful." The tauren hunter said, "The water in the fountain that can automatically generate water is clean water that can be drunk directly. With this thing, there is no need to use a lot of fuel to boil and disinfect the water. In this way Not only can you save a lot of fuel, but you can also build your own tribe on the dangerous high ground without considering the water source."

"It's indeed a good thing, but what else is there besides this?" Lawrence asked curiously.
