Struggle in the Steam Age

"Are you sure everyone has not been able to find the reason for the rapid fertility of the land on the island?" Lawrence asked with a serious face after Seifer said the specific conditions on the island, "For example, similar to the special kind of other places. Magical environment or soil contains some extraordinary factors."

"No, the people of the Agricultural Church and the Knowledge Church have seriously confirmed this." Saifei shook his head and said to Lawrence. "Moreover, under normal circumstances, that kind of extraordinary power tends to affect all the existence of the entire land, rather than just accelerating the improvement of the land as it is now."

"Could it be some kind of special divine power?" Lawrence thought for a while and asked, "If it is only for the speed of land improvement, then this kind of directional supernatural power I think is likely to be related to some gods. Power is related, even some artifacts or remains of fallen gods."

"It should not be." Saifeier shook his head and said. "On the one hand, I think the agricultural church members should be able to find things related to divine power, so that these professional clergy will not be able to check it out. On the other hand, if someone wants to use this change to do something. They won’t hide their existence completely like they do now."

"What you said makes sense." Lawrence nodded very seriously, because if it is a dead thing, the priests will not find it at all, but if it is really a **** or something similar to a **** If it exists, then this kind of benign change can be used by them to recruit believers instead of having no reaction like they do now.

"Then have you checked other places?" Nora said to Lawrence at this time, "For example, water sources for irrigation or other things. Don't forget that we met when we went there to deal with the cotton crisis last time. What happened, that guy polluted the entire soil through precipitation."

"This-we really haven't checked it." After being reminded by Nora, Syfiel also reacted. "You are right. In addition to the soil itself, there are indeed many external factors that can affect the condition of the soil, and we have not been able to investigate those factors one by one before."

"Then, you can check all the factors related to the soil in the next stage." Nara smiled and waved her hand to make a few ice cubes and put the half filled with milky white coconut milk in her hands. After taking a sip from the wooden bowl, he lifted it up and said to Syfiel and Lawrence on the side.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, once the existences with extraordinary powers reach a certain level, the extraordinary powers they release have their own wills, and we can analyze these powers to know when the other party releases these powers. What kind of attitude is it towards us and the island."

"I believe that after discovering the source of the power, the priests should be able to roughly judge the information carried in these extraordinary powers. But I need to remind you that if the information found in these powers is not malicious, I I think you’d better pretend that you’ve never discovered this."

"I understand." Lawrence nodded to the doll, and then explained to Syfiel, who had a puzzled look on his face, "The existence that can help us in secret without being discovered by us is from a certain perspective. It should be very powerful, so the other party hopes to hide in the dark and help us naturally for a reason."

"Under such a premise, we really don't have to figure out who the existence that helps us is. Especially when expressing kindness to us." Lawrence stared into Seifer's eyes and said seriously, "We don't need to be here. Some extra actions were made in this matter, which caused that powerful existence to feel bad for us."

"Okay, I understand." Saifeier nodded, and then said while looking at the sapphire sea in the distance. "I will put away my curiosity in this regard, and I will also ask the clerks not to do those extra things-by the way, has the reward for the reinforcements we went to Vieques last time been issued?"

"Don't mention it, they are still arguing now." Lawrence shook his head helplessly, because he had previously discovered the iron evidence that the Viscount Pine Island was anti-civilization, so recently the various churches, the White Eagle Federation and the New World Republic are all in Do your best to put pressure on the Algarve Empire.

Although various civilized countries rarely engage in full-scale wars due to the series of catastrophic consequences that large-scale wars may lead to, but various small-scale frictions and various non-violent struggles have never stopped. Therefore, after catching the fault of the Algarve Empire this time, everyone immediately wanted to use this as an excuse to try to weaken the empire.

However, because of the contracts signed by the gods and the forces of various civilizations, this kind of weakening cannot be too severe. According to the current negotiation situation, the Algarve Empire should be ordered to surrender all the islands located in the Sea of ​​Stars that it obtained when it became independent from the Kingdom of Castile.

As the first country in the west of the Old World to reach the New World, the Kingdom of Castile acquired a large number of islands as colonies in the Star Sea. After all, these islands surrounded by the sea are obviously safer than the New World mainland with powerful wild races, and are more suitable for colonists from afar to stand.

After developing these islands, everyone realized that the natural conditions of these islands are very suitable for growing various spices and similar tropical cash crops. Therefore, in the early days of colonizing the New World, these islands were all carefully managed as important bridgeheads and material transfer camps.

After all, even if the world has powerful magic ships or other extraordinary powers that can transport a large amount of materials at once, ships of this grade or extraordinary powers are often the treasures of a country, and it is impossible to leave the country for a long time. Therefore, the development of these islands into material production centers has become a very necessary thing.

Therefore, for these islands, those early colonized countries have invested a lot of resources for island development. At the same time, more favorable policies have been given to those on the islands. Thanks to these practices, the earliest immigrants from those countries in the western part of the New World have enough resources to join the pioneering army continuously.

Compared with this, the early immigrants in the New South Wales Republic were obviously miserable, because there was basically no island dotted area like the Star Sea in the western part of the New World, so they could only directly open up territories in the more difficult coastal areas. ~www.ltnovel.com~ Fortunately, the aboriginal people around are very friendly and helped them establish a firm foothold in that place.

Because of the situation in the New World, the colonies of the western countries of the Old World in the Sea of ​​Stars are obviously more loyal than the colonies on the road. So while those farmers in the southern part of the New World in the Kingdom of Castile set off a wave of independence, these islands were firmly loyal to the Kingdom of Castile.

And this kind of allegiance is naturally recognized by the locals. For example, San Jose, the largest island on the sea of ​​stars, is still a direct territory of the Kingdom of Castile, and it also has its own members in the Imperial Council of the Kingdom of Castilla. .

In this case, the islands that finally belonged to the Algarve Empire naturally only have scattered, marginalized islands, and these islands are scattered across the sea of ​​stars, such as Pine Island is already the largest of this batch of islands. one of.

The Kingdom of Castile allowed these islands to become independent only considering that these islands were not very rich and generally not worth much. So instead of making a mess and leaving long-term hidden dangers, let these islands be independent.

Now, all countries hope to obtain this type of island from the Algarve Empire.
