Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 3: Jianmu Tongtian

   After finishing his mood, Liang En looked at the white figure. It is actually the remnant of Lawrence August, but after being fatally injured before, it is no longer as complete as it used to be. But like a candle in the wind, it may disappear at any time.

   "You already know everything," Lawrence's remnant soul said after looking at Liang En's eyes and regaining clarity, "So, please live on behalf of me, my brother."

   He has not been aware of the identity of Liang En's traverser until now, but thinks that he is an unborn twin brother with his own twin souls. Although this situation is rare, it does exist in this transcendent world.

   "Definitely, I will." Liang En nodded vigorously, and the figure on the opposite side showed a smile after hearing his promise, and then turned into a little bit of white light into his body.

   After all the points of light were integrated into the body, Liang En felt that the feeling of being separated from the world before disappeared. This also means that he is completely accepted by the world.

   "From now on, I am Lawrence August." Liang En, no, Lawrence said firmly after making a fist with his right hand in front of his chest, as if it was for the whole world and himself.

   After swearing very solemnly, he looked at the bronze mirror. In the news from the bronze mirror just now, he knew that the bronze mirror was his own golden finger, but he had to pay a sufficient price to get the benefits.

   "I must go out now so that I can find the corresponding things to exchange." Lawrence thought.

   The next moment, Lawrence lying on the bed opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling. Sure enough, as he had imagined, the special space that his soul was going to would be able to get out as long as he thought about it.

   "I need to find more things to try one by one." Lawrence thought about getting up from the bed, and then looking around for what he thought was useful. After going around the room, he climbed onto the bed again with a purse and a button.

   But after thinking for a while, he took out two five-yuan green banknotes and a one-yuan silver coin from the purse with pain, and put them on the bedside table as a living expense afterwards, and then climbed onto the bed.

   When he went out to buy gifts before, Lawrence took half of the money he had saved in the past four years, but he lost all of it in the robbery just now. Now I have 20 yuan and 37 points left.

   The currency unit of the White Eagle Federation is only yuan and cent. One yuan equals one hundred cents. Unlike the former overlord of the Old World, the Briton Kingdom has extremely complicated currency units that are mixed with decimal and binary systems.

In terms of face value, the White Eagle Federation issued three denominations of 1 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan, two silver coins of 1 yuan and 50 cents, as well as 25 cents, 10 cents, 5 cents, 1 cent, 1/2 cent and 1 /4 cents of these six denominations of copper coins.

  Different from the credit currency of the previous life, the currency of this world is completely linked to precious metals, which means that the banknotes can be fully exchanged for gold and silver in the bank. In terms of purchasing power, one cent here is equivalent to two dollars in Lawrence's previous life.

   That button was given to Lawrence by the adoptive father of the sacrifice before he came here to go to school, and it contained a defensive magic against evil spirits. It's a pity that the other party adopted a purely physical method during the previous attack, so this thing didn't work at all.

   After leaning against the head of the bed with the purse in one hand and the buttons in the other hand, he closed his eyes skillfully, and then tried to think, "Come out."

   Nothing happened.

   "Go up to Taishan, see the gods, eat Yuying, drink the spring, drive the dragon, and ride the floating clouds." He opened his mouth and read the inscription on the back of the mirror again, but there was still no response.

   Lawrence frowned and carefully recalled what he had done before entering, and then began to outline the pattern on the back of the mirror in his mind. Sure enough, in the sketch, he could feel that he slowly had a mysterious connection with the mirror in the space.

   "Come out." After feeling the connection became firmer, he gave the order again. Following the order, the phantom of the mirror appeared on Lawrence's chest, and then he opened his eyes and directed the mirror to look at the purse and buttons he had just taken out according to the memory he had just obtained.

   In an instant, the mirror shot out a golden light covering the button and purse. Then, two white mists of different shades rose from the button and purse, and the golden light was taken into the mirror.

   When the mist completely submerged into the mirror, the golden light disappeared without a trace, and the phantom of the mirror disappeared. Everything seems to be back to the state just now.

   But when he checked the things in his hand, he discovered that the buttons that had been flashing fluorescent from time to time had completely turned into ordinary wooden buttons, and the seven one-dollar silver coins in the purse had also become iron.

   "This mirror doesn't seem to have banknotes," Lawrence thought. "But think about it, paper money is just a currency symbol and has no value in itself, and currency is naturally gold and silver. So it is understandable that the mirror does not choose paper money and chooses silver coins."

   "Okay, now it's time to see what the mirror can give me." After putting the purse and the broken buttons on the bedside table and lying down on the bed, Lawrence once again communicated that the mirror entered the space.

Everything in the space is not much different from when he left just now, except that there are four more black flowers on the tree, and the original gray fog of the mirror reveals a person wearing a golden bronze armor with a long hand. White male with spear and buckler. At the same time, the fog above his head showed a person's name: Patrontod.

   "This is an ancient Greek." As a keyboard historian, Lawrence recognized the origin of the man on the mirror at once, because the outfit and the name were so obvious. At the same time, he suddenly confirmed what the big tree represented. "It seems that this big tree is the legendary Jianmu."

   Green leaves and purple stems, Xuanhua Huangshi, the name is Jianmu, hundreds of thousands without branches, there are nine stalks on the top, and nine medlars on the bottom. The big tree in the phantom state in front of me is indeed the building wood that can communicate with the world. I think only such a sacred tree can break the barriers of time and space and communicate information between the world and hometown. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   gently stroked the mirror with his hands, he immediately learned that the four black flowers represented the four things the ancient Greek warrior had, and he could choose one.

   "This golden finger is enlarged." Lawrence quickly took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions, and then looked at the four flowers. When his gaze fell on a flower, the specific content of the flower automatically appeared in his mind.

   After a closer look, Lawrence found that these four flowers represented the two skills and two talents possessed by the Greek warrior. Two of the skills are pottery and eloquence, and the two talents are samurai muscles and sharp color vision.

   "It looks like this may be an Athenian." From the four flowers on the tree and the image just now, Lawrence roughly restored part of the person's situation:

   That body of heavy bronze armor represents that he is a heavy infantryman, which proves that he is a citizen of the ancient Greek city-state, and also represents that he has enough wealth to buy weapons.

   And the two skills of pottery making and eloquence also proved this, as a citizen of an ancient Greek city-state. The former implied his source of wealth, while the latter was a necessary skill for citizens of ancient Greek city-states.

   As for those two talents, it is better to understand. As an authentic ancient Greek warrior, he will naturally have a strong physique after exercising every day. In ancient times, when there was no thermometer, pottery was made by judging the color of the flame. People who can support a whole set of heavy infantry equipment through pottery have the knack for observing the color of flames. It is reasonable to be better than others in pottery. .

   "It would be great if he was a Spartan, so the skills and talents related to combat can't be more." After reading the introduction of a few flowers, Lawrence was a little dissatisfied.
