Struggle in the Steam Age

Although this cocoon woven with silver-green silk thread looks very ordinary at first, if you look carefully, you will find that there are a lot of mysterious patterns and runes emerging from the surface of these woven cocoons. And if you look at it in more detail, you will find that each silk thread is actually composed of a large number of mysterious runes.

"I'm so exhausted." More than half an hour later, a cocoon about one palm thick, barely able to wrap two people, appeared on the sandy ground. And Nora, after putting away the clay pot in her hand, let Lauren hug herself like a child in an unladylike way.

"Thank you." Lawrence said, reaching out and touching the doll's head. "I can feel the power contained in this cocoon outside. How much magic have you arranged here?"

"A lot, or to be precise, I have mobilized all the power I can mobilize in this astral plane. It is about 1/3 of the power in this world." Nora raised her head and thought After a while, he said proudly. "It's a pity that my control ability is still a bit weak now, and there is no way to mobilize more."

"But this is already a miracle. At least I only felt such power from the gods before." Lawrence looked at the cocoon in front of him and said in a low voice. This is not a courtesy compliment, but a statement of fact. Bai Ze's bloodline endowed Lawrence with extraordinary perception abilities, and now he felt the power as thick as the earth and rocks on the cocoon shell outside.

"Okay, let's get started." After resting for a few minutes, the two started the most important action of the day. Nora jumped off Lawrence's arm and raised her small face to look at him and asked. "Will you open the next box or should I open it? I can guarantee that she has absolutely no safety problems."

"I think it's more suitable for you to drive." Lawrence thought for a while and said. For him, the supermarket lottery draws a bag of washing powder at most, and the lottery ticket can only win ten yuan at most. Even playing a game to draw a card is overwhelming. For those who draw out according to the prescribed limit, it is better not to interfere with many matters related to metaphysics.

"Then I'll do it." Nora naturally knew why Lawrence thought so, so a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she took out the box from her body and placed it in front of the two of them. "But now let me see how this thing opens. I don't seem to see anything like a metal button—ah, I found it."

As she spoke, Nora grabbed the cylindrical box and twisted it left and right. Sure enough, the lid was a simple twist lid that twisted open with just a slight twist. And at the moment when the lid of the box was turned away, Lawrence and Nora felt a special force inside the box at the same time.

But at this time, it is too late to stop the action and screw the cover back. On the other hand, neither Lawrence nor Nora felt any danger from the power in the box. So Nora unscrewed the lid of the jar very simply, and then pulled it up hard.

"Pa——" followed by a slight cracking sound, which sounded like a thread or a small piece of wood in the jar broke. The lid was opened very lightly, and then a mass of life force turned into a green light ball and rushed out directly from the mouth of the tank.

If it is on the main plane, this fist-sized ball of light is estimated to be able to fly several thousand meters high, and the power contained in it can also make a lot of eyes cast on the glowing land. But now, the ball of light is completely sealed in the cocoon, jumping around in the cocoon like a pinball in a glass bottle.

"Let's go out first." Seeing this, Nora exclaimed in a low voice, and at the same time took Lawrence's hand and teleported outside the cocoon. After they got out of this cocoon, they realized that the sky outside had become much darker, which should be caused by the power of the world drawn just now.

And when they cast their eyes on the surface of the cocoon they were in just now, they were surprised to find that even though the wall of the cocoon was so thick, both of them could see the green light constantly shining on the cocoon wall from the outside. , it should be caused by the green ball of light colliding everywhere inside the cocoon.

"How about it, can you block it?" Lawrence asked worriedly, looking at the grave-faced little puppet next to him. "If you can't stop it, forget it. At least I can find a random church to blame this thing. You are much more important than treasures."

"It's not as difficult as you imagine." Nora also knew that her expression might have caused some misunderstanding, so she smiled and said, "Actually, this force is not strong, but there are some things related to the gods. Power makes this force extremely penetrating."

"That is to say, this kind of power is like a needle and like water. Although the total power is not very large, it can even be said to be very small. But it can find the weakest place around it, and then concentrate on it to break through. If it weren't for me It might have been broken through if it carried a little rule and divine power. But now, I think I can control this thing, and then weaken its power little by little."

Just like what Nora said, the green light ball wrapped in the cocoon will burst into a ball of green light every time it touches, and then a part of the energy in it will be absorbed by the countless surrounding people mixed with various magical powers. The defense made of silk threads was explained and resolved. If this trend is followed, it may take 15 minutes for all problems to be resolved.

"Then what exactly is this thing?" After knowing that there was no danger, Lawrence looked at the emerald green light ball bouncing around in the cocoon and asked curiously. "Why is such a light ball the last security facility after the box is opened?"

"This is a powerful magic for marking." Nora closed her eyes and said after feeling it for a few seconds, "If we unscrew this jar on the main plane without any defense, this magic will be of great help to the gods and Some facilities with powerful tracking devices have a strong appeal."

"If my guess is correct, if this thing is opened on New Sauer Island, then the western part of the Old World and most of the New World will be able to perceive this thing." Nora flew forward and touched the cocoon with her hands. Speaking of. "I'm really curious now, what kind of thing is worth installing such a high-end alarm facility."

This kind of magic used for alarm does not mean that the stronger the energy contained in it, the higher the level. The magic with a high level of energy and special effects is the most powerful kind. And nothing worth protecting with such magic is anything but cheap.

After the energy in the alarm magic was completely absorbed by the cocoon, the two entered the cocoon again. The small wooden box before was placed in the center of the cocoon, and the inside was emitting a green light.

"Is this, an emerald?" Na stretched out her hand and took out the contents of the box. It was a transparent emerald the size of a ping-pong ball, and it was in an irregular shape as a whole.

"This gemstone is indeed of high value, especially because it contains huge vitality." After careful inspection, Lawrence had a preliminary understanding of this gemstone. "But that's all, this thing shouldn't be as tightly protected as it is now."

"You're right." Nora held the gem in her hands and placed it in front of her face for a closer look, with the same curiosity on her face. "But apart from the few problems I saw just now, I don't see any more advantages of this gem."
