In the next week, Lawrence spent a lot of time in the construction of various venues and facilities required for making black tea. Considering that some of the processes required the help of machines, he also needed to go to the three surrounding areas.
Industrial countries have specially customized a batch of machines.
Fortunately, after welcoming the first batch of exiles, Lawrence found that many of these people were skilled mechanical workers who had previously worked in factories and received professional training. So he did not need them.
Worried about the situation where there is a machine but no one can control it.
Different from the previous life, we now live in an era that pursues technological development, machinery and industry. Therefore, unlike the world in which Lawrence lived during that period of time, luxury goods pursued hand-made products. In this era, when producing luxury goods,
Adding industrial elements will not only not devalue it, but will also increase its value from certain angles.
This is an important reason why Lawrence chose mechanized production. On the other hand, the biggest benefit of mechanized production is that the quality of the product can be consistent, and it is more convenient to improve the quality of the product. After all, human production will have a lower production level.
There are obvious fluctuations, and there is no guarantee that the product will always be in the best condition.
After dealing with an important issue regarding the future development direction of New Saul Island, Lawrence finally had some time to rest. He originally wanted to take a boat to recreate the voyage according to the contents recorded in the logbook he had captured when he eliminated the pirates.
He walked around to see if there was any pirate treasure waiting for him, but plans often didn't change quickly. Just when he was getting the Enterprise ready, an uninvited guest visited New Saul Island.
"My friend, why is it you?" Lawrence looked surprised when he saw the burly man who came to the door. Because this man was the old man who was on the same team as him when he went to the astral plane to hold a competition.
An acquaintance, the warrior Letho. After he became an earl, he had written letters and invitations to his former teammates. Most of them responded, but Paladin John and the warrior Letho never responded.
Of course, Lawrence didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, these two people have been wandering around and taking the elimination of extraordinary monsters in various places as their bounden duty. Therefore, even the contact addresses they left were the Witcher Guilds and Sufferings in several areas.
The location of the Church of God, if you want to receive the letter, you can only wait until they return to the city.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that he did not reply for a long time after receiving the letter. Since Lawrence had been very busy since coming to the island, he gradually forgot about this matter. But Lawrence did not
What I thought of was that Lei Suo would suddenly come over to visit me without any notice today.
"I'm very sorry. In theory, we should visit you after you come here. But because when you wrote to us, we happened to encounter an inexplicable undead riot on a small island, so we didn't solve it until two days ago.
When we return to the city." Soldier Leisuo showed an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lawrence shook his hand and said that it didn't matter. For them, the Paladins of the Orthodox Church and the warriors of the Demon Hunter Guild, destroying evil and saving innocent people is the most important thing. As for other things,
Far less important than this type of thing.
Therefore, Lawrence didn't think there was anything wrong with them not responding before. After all, this was the habit of the Paladins and the extraordinary beings who belonged to the Demon Hunter Guild. Lawrence also knew that there really was an extraordinary person from the Demon Hunter Guild.
Because he suddenly encountered an old hag on the eve of the knighthood, in order to destroy this evil creature, he even released the dove of the king who was to knight him the next day.
But in the end, the king still held the investiture ceremony on another day. After all, the reason why everyone respects the extraordinary people in the Demon Hunter Guild is because of their courage to fight evil to the end. So even if they are in peacetime,
If there are some problems in dealing with people, everyone will try their best to tolerate them.
"By the way, why are you alone?" Lawrence asked at this time. If he remembered correctly, Shiresuo had been following the Holy Knight John before, but now that he is the only one here, it seems a little strange.
Normal. "Aren't you with John? Why didn't he come?"
"That's why I'm looking for you today." Leisuo said with some helplessness. "Originally, the two of us came here together, but he picked us up when we arrived at Brokenhand Port in New Netherland, which is four or five days away from here.
I received an emergency transfer order from the Church of the Suffering God, so I was asked to come over first while he followed the people from their church to handle the matter."
"This kind of transfer order is indeed a bit troublesome." After hearing this, Lawrence nodded and expressed understanding. After all, his father was a clergyman of the church, so he naturally knew how unreasonable this kind of church transfer order was. He was about to eat several times when he was a child.
At that time, I encountered an urgent call from the church, and ended up going to other people's houses in the town to have a meal.
"But I can't do anything about this kind of transfer." Lawrence thought that Leisuo wanted to call his friend back, so he explained with a helpless expression. "This kind of task arrangement is usually handled internally by the church, even if
As a hereditary noble, I cannot interfere in such matters."
"That's not what I meant. In fact, it is an honor for us to carry out the orders of the church to eradicate evil. We even hope to be recruited by the church." Leisuo quickly explained to Lawrence. "Because I heard that it can be done in three or four days.
Come back, so I was waiting for him to come back in Halfhand Port and then come back to you. But on the third day after he set off, I heard that the team from the Passion Church disappeared during the mission.
, and he’s on that team.”
"What did you say, he disappeared?" Lawrence stood up with a surprised expression. "What kind of mission were they performing that they could just disappear? What happened here, and how did they disappear."
Lawrence was shocked when he heard that the paladin was missing, because unlike ordinary self-employed adventurers, each Orthodox Church has a very powerful intelligence system. In this case, as long as there is no emergency, they will be fully prepared.
Be prepared, even if you can't win, the news will spread. A sudden disappearance like this is indeed very strange.
"Yes, the entire team is missing." Leisuo also looked confused. "Ever since John joined that team to perform the mission and left, I would go to the Church of the Passion God every day to inquire about the situation. The first two days were normal, but
On the third day, there was a bit of chaos inside the church, because they completely lost contact with the team without any warning."
"It's really troublesome for a team to disappear without warning." Lawrence frowned, and he realized that the problem here was not simple. At least under normal circumstances, in addition to daily communication tools, such a team would also
The simultaneous failure of a simple one-time emergency contact tool is often a sign that the situation has become very dire.
"The church has announced that it will send people to search for this missing team." Leisuo said, "They contacted the church's New World headquarters in Elysion to request reinforcements, and also requested help from all surrounding forces."
"You said they asked for help from all the surrounding forces?" Lawrence asked. "But I haven't received any news from here."
"This is normal, brother." Nora, who had been looking at the documents there just now, flew up and said. "The dozen or so islands on our side at the outermost edge of the Star Sea have always been considered the edge of civilization, and the power
Extremely weak. According to the documents I read before, they generally will not ask for help from us."
"Okay, that makes sense." Lawrence shrugged helplessly. "But this time, I will definitely go over and help."
