Struggle in the Steam Age

After talking about what happened on the island during this period, Lawrence and Safir exchanged their recent experiences. Of course, Lawrence was the first to speak. After listening to his experience during this period, Safiel was obviously a little lost. "You and Nora's adventure this time is really great, unlike me who can only stay on the island during this time."

Compared with Lawrence's experience, Safir's experience is a little boring. In addition to staying in the office all day, reviewing documents as Lawrence's representative. The only thing worth mentioning is that the elite guards on this island and the tauren have jointly cleared the land line connecting the two sides.

"Although we have systematically wiped out three goblin tribes and killed more than 1,500 goblins at the cost of three people being injured, it still doesn't feel like you have gained as much from this adventure." After talking about his actions, Sai Fei Er sighed slowly and said. "However, we have finally opened up the land transportation line between the two sides this time, and there are unexpected gains."

The unexpected harvest that Safir mentioned refers to that after cleaning up the group of goblins, when they re-drawn the map of this journey, the priests of the Agricultural Church who accompanied the army accidentally found a piece of growing grass on the cleaned-up land. Woodlands of all kinds of medicinal herbs. According to the priest, these medicinal materials are very useful for the ongoing drug research.

"According to what the priests said, these medicines are all local unique medicines. However, judging from the distribution range and various types of these medicines, they feel that these medicines are likely to have been artificially cultivated before, but now because of the long-term The reason why no one manages time has been wilded." Speaking of this, Safiel seemed a little puzzled. "But the information I read before I came clearly stated that there was no intelligent race on this island before the arrival of humans."

"Actually, there are." Lawrence said, when facing his fiancée, he felt that he could tell her some of the secrets he had. "When Nora and I entered the tauren tribe a while ago, we found an unfinished building in the core of the hilly area where they were located. This building has an obvious elf style. So I think the place you found is full of herbs The woodlands are probably the herb gardens of those elves in the past."

"It's amazing. I believe people who came here before must have discovered that building, but they didn't say anything." Nora shrugged when she said this. "I guess they definitely want to get something from this, so they hide this information so that they can profit from it."

"Your guess is not wrong at all." Lawrence smiled after hearing Safir's words. "When we went there, we found that some of the building components piled up next to the unfinished building disappeared. These building components are mainly some patterned components. I think this kind of stone sculpture with elf style should be able to sell for a good price, because Most nobles hope to have a few pieces of art from elves in their manors and mansions, so this kind of thing has always been expensive."

During the next journey, the two began to complain about the groups of people who came to the island before. After all, this group of people did nothing to Lawrence except for creating a group of small colonies in the north of the island that have not listened to their command until now. Instead, they took a lot of benefits from the island when they left.

Of course, in addition to finding a target to complain about together, Lawrence and the others also exchanged interesting things they have seen around them recently. For example, Safir said that a while ago, the Agricultural Church hired people to plant kelp and seaweed on a large scale in other directions of the bay, saying that it wanted to establish a complete offshore ecosystem.

Of course, the Transcendent who is the Church of Agriculture is not that kind of extreme naturalist. Therefore, the establishment of this offshore ecosystem is for the sustainable development of the entire island. Lawrence didn't expect that he just mentioned it a little before, and the members of the Agricultural Church really put these things into practice.

"So how is their plan going now?" Lawrence asked curiously, he really didn't know what his momentary rhetoric would look like when it was actually put into practice. Although the materials he read in his previous life showed that this arrangement may take several years to take effect slowly, but in this world with extraordinary power, there are countless extraordinary people in the Church of Agriculture who can greatly shorten this time to a few. time of day.

"It seems to be in good condition." Sai Feier tilted his head and said after thinking about it. "Now they have created a total of 12 underwater forests in the offshore area. According to them, three of them have to be abandoned because of mistakes in site selection and plant species selection. The remaining few are developing well, and It also started to attract some schools of fish—”

While the two were talking, they had followed the road through a lush tropical rainforest. People began to gradually appear behind this wild woods: a large flat field appeared in front of them, and Lawrence could see the short stubble left after the rice was harvested in the drained paddy fields .

And this time the meeting place was set in one of the paddy fields. The paddy field is next to the canal, and all the stubble on the ground has been cleaned up. A large amount of straw was poured into this field, making the entire rice field seem to be covered with a layer of golden carpet, which looks quite beautiful.

And on this piece of straw carpet, dozens of gorgeous big tents have been set up. Whether it is a banquet hall for banquets, dressing rooms, temporary lounges or kitchens, everything is available. When Lawrence and Safir arrived together, they just saw a carriage coming from the direction of the pier, and then began to unload all kinds of luxury tableware from the Enterprise.

"Welcome, Your Excellency." After Lawrence and the others arrived at the door of the largest tent in this tent camp, Owen's deputy butler, who had been busy here before, immediately came out of the house to greet them and let them enter behind the tent. , Mr. Owen began to introduce the specific situation here. "Please allow me to introduce you to the preparations for the banquet that will start the day after tomorrow. We have now completed—"

The deputy housekeeper Owen introduced the situation of each place while showing them around the tents. For example, the banquet hall and bedrooms are all ready now. Thanks to the tauren for their help in this regard, so they can come up with enough furs to decorate these tents.

On the other hand, they prepared all kinds of materials for this party. Even the most basic food had to be prepared differently according to the different identities of the guests. During this process, no mistakes could be made. And in addition to food for people, Lawrence and the others also needed to prepare food for the horses in the guests' carriages and various riding animals.

Most of them are relatively well-prepared, for example, most of the horses and some of the superhuman mounts are occupied. They only need clean grass, beans or fresh meat, and at most some eggs. Although food may be more expensive than people, but after all, the quantity is not much, and even Lawrence's current situation can afford it.

The trouble is that some aristocrats who were notified of their coming a few days ago, such as the ruler of Barbados Island, which owns the only transit port in this island, and the supreme leader of the Earl of Barbados, the Earl of Barbados, will also come this time. As an aboriginal nobleman, he would naturally take the brig pulled by 12 Limbo sailfish when he came, so Lawrence naturally had to prepare a batch of feed for these fish.

In short, preparing a banquet is a systematic project. Fortunately, with everyone's hard work, they finally got rid of all these sundries before the banquet started, and made preparations for the banquet.
