Struggle in the Steam Age

Realizing that the external communication is now severed, Lawrence suddenly becomes nervous. Because this is a very dangerous precursor, maybe you will become a new missing person. But at this moment, the first officer also ran in from outside and told him something worse.

Although the first officer had a beard on his face, Lawrence could still see the anxiety on his face. After he spoke, Lawrence's inner conjecture was confirmed. "Your Excellency, our ship is constantly slowing down. If there is no accident, it will only take more than an hour to hit that strange island."

"What?" Hearing that Lawrence didn't care about the communication problem, he hurried three steps and two steps out of the transmission room to the deck, and then looked down on the ship's side. As a result, I saw that the surrounding sea water was rushing towards the cave, and the Enterprising relied on the maximum horsepower of the boiler to barely equal the suction.

"Can we change the angle of the ship to rush out from the side?" Lawrence asked after a closer look. Even if the ship is currently using the most advanced boiler, it is impossible to maintain too long at the highest horsepower. Time, and how long the strange suction from this island can last is hard to say. So the top priority now is to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

At this time, there is no other ship around, so what you want to do can only rely on self-help. It's a pity that the method of moving the ship simply doesn't work. The first officer told Lawrence that the power of the Enterprise now reached a delicate balance with the suction force. If the ship turned the rudder to change the direction of the Enterprise, it would be easy to be sucked into the cave directly because of the loss of this balance.

Before coming, John and his ship should have had an accident after encountering such a situation, but unlike the steam-powered Enterprising, their simple sailboat basically had no resistance to this situation. , And then he was directly sucked in by this strange cave on the island and smashed on the reef at the entrance of the cave.

"Fuck--" Lawrence secretly cursed after hearing that there was no way to solve this stalemate. But after venting the emotions, things still have to find a solution. Fortunately, Nora, who had been flicking her finger to send out a silver thread to the island, was investigating repeatedly at this time. At this time, she finally found a little result.

"Brother, I think ours should go to the cave now." Nora pointed to the cave that was constantly sucking water like Lawrence said, "I can feel it as if something is calling me in there, and calling The thing that is holding me is also the thing that caused the current situation."

"Really?" Lawrence asked the little doll with a serious face, and after watching Nora nod his head to confirm, he still wanted to take out those coins to use the prophecy spell to fortune the result of this action, but was Nora interrupted directly.

"At this time, the arrow is on the string and I have to send it." After holding Lawrence's hand that wanted to take the coin out of the space bag, Nora looked at Lawrence and said with a serious face. "If the result of divination is not very lucky, is there still the possibility of inaction in our current situation?"

"You're right." After hearing Nora's words, Lawrence put away the coin and nodded seriously. Just a moment ago, my mind was a little confused, but now being reminded by the little doll, he immediately realized that if he didn’t want to wait for death on the boat, he had no other choice at all. If the result of divination is not good, it will affect the next It’s better to just rush over to see if you can survive from death.

The only good news now is that after checking, Nora found that although there was a certain amount of magic interference around, she was still able to partially open the passage to the astral plane. If there is nothing wrong, the two of them can hide in the astral plane at the cost of abandoning their bodies. But considering the importance of the body, this is obviously the last resort that can only be used when there is no real situation in the end. If there is a glimmer of hope, this method does not need to be considered.

After the decision, Lawrence immediately summoned several people on the ship to talk about his decision. But the people on the boat all opposed it at first. The reason for the human objection is that there is no way for the subordinate to hide behind and the lord ran to take the risk alone, and the tauren believed that when they encountered this kind of situation, they should be in the first place.

"Now is not the time to discuss, I will order you as Count Sauer." After briefly listening to his subordinates, Lawrence raised his hand to stop their persuasion, and then said. "After we go in, you will take good care of this boat for me. If the attraction disappears, try to drive this boat to a safe place. Otherwise, I will get the problem out but there is no boat. Oh no."

"Understood." After Lawrence used the military order, even if he was unwilling to do so, the people on the ship saluted that they would follow his orders. After making sure that everyone was ready, Lawrence and Nora checked the equipment one last time, then bowed to everyone and flew into the sky.

After mastering Level 3 flying skills, Lawrence was finally able to fly. Under the lead of Nora, the two of them crossed five or six kilometers of water to the cave entrance in a short period of time.

At this time, the size of the hole has been fixed, and it looks like a huge cave half in the sea and half above the sea. The part above the sea is more than ten meters high and more than 20 meters wide. It looked like a big mouth on the side of the island. And just outside this cave is covered with dense reefs, as if the teeth on this big mouth want to crush everything that is about to enter this cave.

After approaching from the air, Lawrence saw a lot of things hanging on the rocks. For example, wooden boards of different old and new, all kinds of broken or complete production and daily necessities. He even saw a lot of white and miserable bones, among which he could barely distinguish some of them should belong to intelligent creatures.

Against the rancid smell coming from the entrance of the cave, Lawrence and Lawrence lowered their height and flew into the entrance of the cave. The inside of the cave continued to shrink in a funnel shape, but it did not continue to shrink when it finally shrank to the size of the church gate. Therefore, the two of them easily followed the twists and turns and went deep into the island, until they came to a place completely different from the previous space.

This is a huge space with a prescription of two to three hundred meters ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ close to 30 meters in height. This space looks like a huge lake, and there are dozens of caves on the surrounding rock walls continuously injecting seawater into this lake. Lawrence and the others rushed out of one of the caves just now.

"Here-something is wrong." Nora said, because on the other side of the lake there is a small stone platform the size of a living room, and behind the stone platform is a black hole. The most important thing is that with the eyes of two people, you can see that there are many patterns carved on the stone platform and the side of the cave.

"It's not quite normal." When the two of them slowly approached the stone platform, Lawrence found more artificial traces in the cave. Stone pillars on the water level. Much like the support pillars of a trestle bridge.

Following these supported arrays all the way forward, one can see that at the end of the array is a row of steps excavated on the stone wall leading to the top of the stone pillars. According to the size of the steps, the builders of this ruin are not like humans or elves the size of creatures, but should be close to the size of a rat man.

"My detection range has been greatly restricted." Nora said suddenly after walking up the steps to the top of the platform, "but now I can also be sure that this is the limitation due to interference, not shielding."
