Struggle in the Steam Age

Lawrence can understand why the church keeps the goal of the action secret, after all, the previous call for help was sent to everyone around him. Then it is very likely that evil people and extremely unreliable people will try to fish in troubled waters among this group of people. Therefore, it is understandable for the church to hide some news in order to keep some secrets.

In addition, even if there are only one or two people, such as Reso, the church will hide the specific situation. After all, boats are definitely needed in this kind of area, and if there are too few people, you can only rent a boat. Then it is very likely that this information will be accidentally revealed to those who are not righteous.

However, considering that such a large sea area is definitely too late to be searched by the power of the church, and John Knight will be called up as an official-level paladin. It can be inferred that the transcendent level of this event will not be too high, so it is difficult to ask for it. The power of the gods. So if the local church of the church wants to find the missing team, then theoretically, it should also find some reliable allies to help find it.

Lawrence believes that he has a good relationship with those Orthodox churches, so he feels that the suffering churches should be qualified if they really need to find reliable helpers. So not long after the ship went to sea, Lawrence ordered the telegrapher on the ship to explain the situation to the suffering church and nominated himself, hoping to get specific information.

Fortunately, there is a special secret code in the human Orthodox church, and Lawrence just knows it. So he translated the telegram to be sent and handed it to the telegraph operator on board for him to send it to the Church of the Crucifixion in New Netherland. Even if the telegram sent in this way is received by outsiders, it can only receive a lot of messy code.

Ten minutes later, the telegraph on the ship rang, and Lawrence received the telegram from the Church of the Crucifixion. After taking the bunch of garbled codes to his room and taking out the codebook to translate them one by one, a smile appeared on his face. I don’t know if it’s because of my identity or my previous happy experience of working with the church. The Church of the Crucifixion thanked him for participating in the search, and at the same time told him a part of the specific situation of the team going out to search.

As he imagined, this team set out to find the semi-artifacts related to their church that might exist. Because two days before the team's departure, an adventure team affiliated with the church unknowingly felt a certain divine power belonging to the God of Suffering on an uninhabited island that was basically untouched before.

But because they had just finished an adventure and they were not fully prepared, the adventure team had to go around the island and then return to the Church of the Crucifixion in New Netherlands.

Since the team met several pirate ships when leaving the island, the church worried that the drag time might lead to unnecessary risks. So after getting the news, they hurriedly sent people to search. Considering what happened to the team before, they sent the corresponding manpower. But what I didn't expect was that the entire search team disappeared this time.

"Our goal is Charleston Island." After translating all the content of the telegram, Lawrence walked to the meeting room on the ship and said, "The church sent me a telegram telling me that the team's goal is Charles. Dun Island. Now our plan of action is much simpler."

"Charleston Island?" As Reso, who had been active in the Sea of ​​Stars in recent months, thought about it carefully for a while, a series of messages emerged in his mind. "That is a small island with a diameter of only ten kilometers and a little fresh water on it. There are also some shrubs and moss on the small island. If it is special, it can only be said that the surrounding reefs are really too much, so ordinary ships It’s not close to that island at all."

"This kind of terrain is indeed very reasonable." Lawrence said after listening to Resso's introduction to the island, "In this way, the possibility of John and the others going to the island to search for treasures seems to be very much. And we are now knowing. After their target, it should be easier to find the place where they might be missing."

After all, the waves in this sea area have not been very strong during this period of time, and there are no observation reports on the activities of large-scale ocean supernatural creatures on various islands. Therefore, the probability of a ship inexplicably distress at sea is not great. Therefore, after knowing the route, they can narrow the search scope to a few places.

After taking out a nautical chart of the surrounding waters and doing some work on the chart, Lawrence drew a few circles and lines on the chart with the red and blue on his hand, and then took out three coins and tossed it up. After holding the pencil, he clicked one of the circles. "We only need to search for six points now. If everything goes well, we will be able to search for the first point the day after tomorrow."

"Skull Reef?" Nara asked curiously, looking at the place that Lawrence had circled. "Why is it here? If I remember correctly, this place can reach a depth of two meters and five meters at high tide, and the water will only be exposed at low tide. I can't stand people at all."

"According to the results of my previous contact with the church, because this place is a little off course, no one is going to check it now." Lawrence explained, "I'm worried that their ship might encounter some special diversions on the way." Lawrence explained. "And I just used the magic of prophecy to tell me that there may be gains to go here."

In fact, the last sentence was Lawrence's determination to go there to see. He believed that the result of his bloodline and the magical plum blossom divination should be no problem. This unremarkable reef area on the map is likely to contain clues to the team's disappearance.

Now that the destination was decided, the Enterprise quickly adjusted its direction and headed straight for Skull Reef. Considering that this operation is to save people, and saving people is like fighting a fire, speed is very important. In addition, there are many islands in this large sea area that can be used to supplement fuel and fresh water. So Lawrence simply ordered the ship to turn on the steam engine and move forward at full speed.

With the help of the machine, the entire ship sailed across the sea at twice the speed of an ordinary sailboat. In less than three days, they successfully crossed the normal ship and took a five-day voyage to a place a few nautical miles away from the Skeleton Reef, and then put the sail away and moved forward at low speed with only the propeller.

Fortunately, it was daytime at this time, and the tide receded, and most of the reefs were exposed to the sea. So the ship can carefully bypass these obstacles step by step, but in order to be sure, Lawrence walked into the wheelhouse and recruited the ghosts of the aquatic monsters through the white map, and helped the Enterprise to detect the underwater situation near the ship. Navigating ~www.ltnovel.com~ This is really inconvenient. "Lawrence thought while manipulating those monster phantoms. "Next time I have to think of a solution to this matter." "

In fact, when he was in the Old World, Lawrence saw that there was something called a Discovery Chart sold in the Spellcaster's Guild, and it was able to show the situation around him as the core after it was activated wherever it was.

It's a pity that that kind of thing is too expensive, and the price of an ordinary ship of 500 or 600 tons may be cheaper than it. Not to mention that additional magic power is required to activate it when used. Therefore, it is often only used to defend or equip certain magical ships and the leader ships of large merchant fleets.

Just as Lawrence was thinking about these things, suddenly the phantom of the molar tooth fish that he had arranged more than a hundred meters away from the port side of the ship sent him a notice. Because it found something unusual.

After receiving the notice, Lawrence immediately ordered a murloc phantom next to him to quickly approach the molar tooth fish to retrieve the thing he found. A few minutes later, a brand new empty tin box was thrown from the sea onto the deck. Then he was picked up by the guards waiting on the deck and sent into the cab.
