Struggle in the Steam Age

No matter how precious the things inside this building are, Lawrence still resisted the eagerness in his heart and cooperated with Nora to record the various patterns painted and carved on the outer walls of the building. For them, tangible wealth is indeed very precious, but intangible wealth is equally precious.

After we go back, let Shumei draw all these things, and then study them slowly. After Lawrence and Nora recorded all the patterns on the building, Lawrence said to Nora. I think these patterns can allow us to restore some of the living habits of the drow on the ground.

Then you can publish a copy of Playboy or Men's Clothes. Nora said angrily, because there are many patterns located on high places or even on the roof, so Nora had to fly up To record things that a lady like her should not see. I must wash my eyes well when I go back.

Okay, okay! Hearing the complaint from the little puppet, Lawrence quickly comforted him. After I go back, I promise to buy you the set of White Eagle Federal Bird Manual, and I will pay for it, so it will be all right.

Last month, James Audubon, a bird expert in the White Eagle Federation, published a set of Bird Handbooks of the White Eagle Commonwealth. This manual records more than 800 kinds of birds that are more common in the White Eagle Federation. The most distinctive feature is that this book is in cooperation with magicians, as long as you open a page and input a little extraordinary power, you can see a 3D projection that is as big as a real bird floating on the book.

Because of Lawrence's status as a scholar, he has been subscribing a lot of periodicals from the White Eagle Federation and bringing them to the island on scheduled ships. The advertisement for this book was placed on the title page of the journal Nature. Nora fell in love with the book at first sight after seeing the advertisement, but considering that the book cost 150 yuan, Lawrence said that she needed to think about it.

And now that the little doll has read a lot of things that are not suitable for children, Lawrence thinks it is more appropriate to buy that book back to compensate her. Moreover, according to the Nature magazine, this book is an epoch-making book. Even if it is only in the sense of collection, if you have spare money, it is worth buying and collecting later.

This is simply amazing, thank you, my lord. Nora floated in front of Lawrence, kissed him on the cheek and said happily. Now let's go into this building and have a look. I have a hunch that there must be a treasure inside this building waiting for us to take it away.

It's better to be careful. If Nora was a representative of optimism, Lawrence still maintained the vigilance he had in the past. Don't forget that the divination results told us that the core issue of today's treasure hunt is to pay attention to safety. I'm worried—

Don't worry about it, you're fine with everything, but you think too much before every action. Although Nora said so, she still released beams of silver and green light from her fingertips on the building. Scanning back and forth on the only gate, inspecting the building in front of you with a little bit of divine power.

There doesn't seem to be any traps on this door. Nora said as he pressed his hands on the door a little, and the door opened smoothly, as if it had just been oiled, without even making a sound.

It feels a bit too smooth. Nora said with a serious face as she watched the door open in front of her. Maybe because of what Lawrence said before, she also realized that the situation in front of her was not right. I couldn't see the situation in the room through this door just now with all kinds of magic, but now it is easily pushed away like this?

That's right, it's very obvious that something is wrong with this place, but we're already here, so let's just turn around and go back. Lawrence shrugged and said, What's more, the result of the divination said that we should be careful when dealing with it. It may happen, but it also said that we will have a big harvest this time.

You're right, it's a great harvest. Nora used magic power to gently push aside the curtain covered with plant patterns blocking the door, and then said to look at the situation in the room. My lord brother, we really found the treasure this time. And it's a big harvest.

Big harvest? Let me see. Seeing Nora safely going in and out of this door, Lawrence let go of his nervousness and walked into this space. As a result, he saw it at the first sight after entering the room. The shelves on both sides of the room were stacked together and almost overflowing.

So many things. Lawrence stared at the weapons, armor and a series of props on the shelf with wide eyes. You must know that everything in the spiritual world is different from the material world, and ordinary carry-on items cannot be brought in. Of course, this situation is not absolutely absolute. If someone is willing to pay a huge price to perform certain magical rituals, there are still ways to break the line between illusion and reality.

Of course, the price to pay for this will be enormous. Normally no one wants to do that. Because the price paid for most things to enter the spirit world is even much higher than the thing itself. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to find a way to temporarily make weapons after entering the spirit world.

After all, the power of the soul is maximized in the spiritual world, and at the same time, many rules are completely different from those in the real world. For example, even if a person doesn't know any weapon forging techniques, as long as his soul is strong enough, he can use the power in his soul and the raw materials in the spirit world to create various weapons that can be used in the spirit world. arms.

This is why Lawrence was so shocked when he saw a lot of weapons that could pass through the spirit world and the real world in this place. More importantly, after simply checking a few magic items, he found that these magic items Although they can be regarded as high-quality products, they are obviously not worthwhile compared with the cost of holding the ceremony.

Why did those elves do this? Nora asked Lawrence after carefully looking at a brooch inlaid with emeralds on the shelf. Why spend so much money to hide these things in the spirit world.

I think it may be because they can't bring these things to the Underdark, so those dark elves put these things here to show a complete break with the past. Turned around in the room, and hastily After examining the items on the shelf, Lawrence saw something. Have you noticed that the things placed here are all in the true elf style, which obviously doesn't match the style of the Underdark?

After you said that, I found that it is indeed the case. Nora flew to the shelf and looked carefully and said to Lawrence, Even compared with the sculptures carved on the outer wall of this building, the style of weapons here is different. It seems obviously conservative, and looks more like the weapon of an orthodox elf.

After inspecting the magical weapons stuffed into boxes and cabinets, Lawrence began to observe the situation inside the building, and this time, he discovered another thing that was wrong.

There is no decoration inside this building, and the walls and roof on all sides are just bare stone walls. And this forms an extremely sharp contrast with the sculptures that look like top decorations outside.

It can't be that there is no money or no time. Soon, Nora also discovered a huge difference in the interior and exterior decoration of the house. But under normal circumstances, shouldn't the inside of the house be repaired first? Why do you repair the outside of the house first in this place?

Because this is not an ordinary house, but a memory. Lawrence stared at the line of elf writing on the ground at this time and said word by word. It is the memory of this tribe on the ground.
