Struggle in the Steam Age

After hearing what Lawrence said, almost everyone present focused their attention on the little doll Nora. Lawrence would definitely not have exposed Nora's existence in this way, because Nora was a divine creature, and Lawrence, who was only a low-level extraordinary person at the time, might easily conceive a crime.

But now, as a hereditary sealed nobleman, it is very normal to have a companion of a divine creature. After all, because of the large number of gods in this world, although divine creatures are not common, for extraordinary people who often go out, they will always see them once or twice in their lives, which is not too unattainable.

Although Nora has shown that she is not an ordinary divine creature since she was born, Lawrence also believes that it is impossible for these extraordinary beings present with the power of that tree to see Nora's specific identity. At most, they just think that she is a relatively rare constructed creature with divine nature.

This is why Lawrence is now disclosing the identity of Nora's divine creature, because some things have been hidden and tucked away, but it is easy for many people to have unnecessary associations. Taking this opportunity to disclose the outermost layer of vest can just make future Many things have become more reasonable. To avoid side branches.

Sure enough, the supernatural beings present, especially the spellcasters among them, carefully checked the little puppet with the spells they mastered after hearing Lawrence's words, but obviously they had no idea other than to confirm that Nora was indeed a divine creature. Discover those hidden deeper strengths.

However, for the representatives of these churches at the scene, it was enough to be sure that Nora was a divine creature. After all, as Lawrence, there is no need to deceive them in this regard. The only worry is that the little puppet Nora does not have enough ability, and the results of the current inspection have proved that Nora is indeed capable of distinguishing the pollution of those divine powers.

After everyone confirms that the results of Lawrence's previous analysis are correct, it's time to follow the plan proposed in this report to locate the pollution source. At this time, Lawrence took out a small test tube from his arms and put it on the table, then said, "I also found something about the source of pollution, but there is no way to determine the location of the source of pollution."

"What is this?" Looking at the small test tube that Lawrence put on the table, a clergyman next to him immediately came over to observe the crystal test tube, which was only the size of an ordinary person's index finger. Unexpectedly, they only A thin layer of dust-like khaki powder was seen at the bottom of this tube.

"This is the dust that we found as rain condensation nuclei from thousands of samples, because the power of the evil god on them is more obvious." Lawrence explained while holding the small test tube. Just now, after realizing the problem between the condensation nuclei of rainwater, Nora stuffed all the samples into the astral plane and mobilized the power of the entire plane to try her best to separate the pollution core. It took a lot of effort to separate the small pile in front of me.

"Theoretically, these fine dusts should come from the same place. But after I observed through the microscope, except that there was no organic matter in the dust, I deduced that there was basically no life in the place where they were, and it was probably very desolate. Further inferring and narrowing down the possible scope of the pollution source." Lawrence explained to everyone present what the little dust under the test tube was all about.

"Ah, please hand over the test tube to us. I think our church should be able to solve this problem." As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, the priest of the Mother Earth Church who was sitting diagonally across from him, wearing a khaki priestly robe, turned to him. Speaking of. "At least in this world, we should be the people who know the earth best."

After taking the test tube from Lawrence, the priest left the conference room to prepare for the magic ceremony in their own tent. Others sat there quietly discussing something, while quietly waiting for the results of the critical dust inspection by the Church of the Earth Goddess.

"We found it, and my lord showed us where the dust was before." Ten minutes later, everyone present felt a thick divine power flickering in the direction of the tent of the Goddess of the Earth Church. Then the priest who went out with the dust happily opened the curtain of the tent and walked in and said.

"What?" "Where is it?" Hearing what the priest of the Mother Earth Church said when she came in, everyone in the conference room focused on her, and at the same time asked a little messily. It wasn't until the High Priest of the Agricultural Church who sat on top coughed that everyone fell silent.

"The dust comes from a place about 220 kilometers northwest of us. That place is a Gobi Desert. The locals call that place the Gobi of Death." After everyone quieted down, the priest of the Mother Earth said to everyone . "And just now when we asked our lord, we held a small sacrifice at the same time. Through the sacrifice, we have confirmed that there are indeed some differences between that piece of Gobi Desert and the surrounding area."

As the church of the Mother of the Earth, there will naturally be a number of magical arts related to the earth within the church. Not only can the original location of these samples be traced through a small number of samples related to the earth. At the same time, it is also possible to simply detect some situations in the distant land through sacrifices and other methods.

This method was not used to detect anomalies before because this detection method can only detect a circular area with a diameter of 1,000 meters in the designated area at a time. Before the specific location is roughly determined, use this kind of cover area. There isn't much point in wasting resources other than sacrifices.

"Death Gobi——" Lawrence desperately recalled the place name in his mind, but found that there were too many places with this name probably because the people living in these lands were not well-educated. To be precise, three out of ten of the wastelands in the entire New World may have this name. So he couldn't figure out what was going on in the Gobi of Death.

"Then what should we do next? Shall we go straight to where the pollution source might be?" A priest of the Church of Fortune wearing a golden robe said excitedly. "I want to quickly solve the current pest problem. Although the cotton production in this season is not seriously damaged because of the small accumulation of pollution, if this trend continues, the cotton production in the next season is likely to be cut in half. .If this happens, the cotton industry in this area will be over."

"Your Excellency, I don't recommend doing this." The priest of the Mother Earth Church raised objections. "If Lord Earl Sauer hadn't discovered that something was wrong, I don't think we would have been able to find out the approximate location of the pollution source. This also means that the other party should be trying to pollute this land little by little through secret means."

"In other words, the behind-the-scenes existence of this divine power pollution incident originally hoped to pollute this piece of land through covert means. Those conspirators behind the scenes are unlikely to be willing to expose their own situation and should be concerned about accidental exposure. Countermeasures, so if we rushed there with such fanfare, we might not find anything."

"Then what should we do?" the priest of Fortune Church asked back. "Anyway, we can't watch the situation here get worse little by little, and always think of a way to solve these problems now."

The request made by the priest of the Fortune Church quickly resonated with everyone, and everyone present immediately discussed how to solve the existing problems under the supervision of the possible enemy.
