Struggle in the Steam Age

Just as Lawrence and Nora were flying all over the sky of the kingdom of God and inspecting the kingdom of God. The little puppet stopped suddenly and looked towards its own temple.

"What happened?" Lawrence looked at the little puppet next to him and said, "What happened to the temple above?" "I feel like my first Holy Spirit is about to be born."

A slightly shocked look appeared on Nora's face. "It's a lot faster than I thought it would be."

"I remember that the jackals have believed in you for a long time. Although most people are still in the stage of changing their beliefs, it is not uncommon for one or two extremely devout believers to appear."

"No, not the jackal." The little puppet shook its head at Lawrence and said. "I can feel that the existence that is about to come to my kingdom of God is a human being, not a jackal."

"It's totally unscientific." Hearing what the little doll said, Lawrence's eyes widened. "It only takes you about a week to spread your beliefs in the human world, how could it be possible—"

"That's why I also feel a little strange." Nora shook her head lightly, and then showed a very excited look on her face as if she had thought of something.

"I heard the gods say that believers who fit well with the gods are very rare, so I didn't think of this just now. But now, maybe I really met such a rare believer."

Aware of the particularity of the current situation, Lawrence and Nora immediately came to the side of the reincarnation pool of the temple, and then traced back to the power of faith to check the past——

This is in a ward of the Port New Shaw Hospital on New Shore Island. An old man who looks like he is in his 70s or 80s is lying on a hospital bed.

Judging from the old man's weak breathing and pale skin, the old man's life has come to an end, and the time he can stay in this world may only be counted in minutes.

"My grandfather—" A young man sitting on the bedside chair immediately stood up after looking at the doctor who came to make rounds, and asked.

"Sorry, there's really nothing we can do." The doctor in a white coat shook his head and said. "Your grandfather suffered too much when he was young, and his body was too weak—"

"Yes, doctor, our whole family knows this. But my grandfather has sacrificed too much for this family, but I didn't expect that he has only been here for a few months—" the young man said while covering his hands His face was sobbing.

In fact, since the old man was hospitalized more than two weeks ago, the relatives of the old man probably guessed the current situation, but people always feel a little bit unwilling in this situation.

"I know, this situation is really unacceptable." This doctor has been in this industry for several years, so he has seen a lot of life and death. So he quickly told his family members what to do next.

"But that's the way it is now, so I suggest that you better make your final preparations now."

The old man lying on the bed was called Hans, a new immigrant from the Algarve Empire in the south. Before coming to the island, he had been a serf in charge of brewing wine in a manor.

If nothing happened, then he would work in this manor until he died, and then let his son and grandson serve the owner of the manor from generation to generation.

But with the outbreak of the imperial civil war again, their manor was captured by a warlord, and their family was lucky enough to escape because the place where they lived was remote enough, and then boarded a small fishing boat to New Sauer Island.

After coming to the island, he naturally received preferential treatment because he possessed certain skills. Especially after the bank was built, the family took out a low-interest loan and opened a tavern.

Since the island is now in a stage where everything is in its infancy, such a tavern is quite popular.

In just a few months, they have successfully turned the pub into one of the most popular pubs in the area, and the loan seems to be fully paid off soon.

But at this time, Hans unfortunately fell down due to the injuries he had suffered before. While he was in the hospital for treatment, Nora successfully ignited the fire.

Out of gratitude to Lawrence, he began to offer his faith to the little doll from the bottom of his heart, and then under the guidance of a missionary church worker, he understood and approved Nora's teachings.

So at this time, although he felt that he had no strength in him, let alone open his mouth to speak. But there is still a certain degree of sobriety in my heart.

"My lord, the great God of Evolution, I am about to die and leave this world. Please guide me on the path to follow you, and accept my soul!"

Hans prayed silently in his heart, he completely forgot about the pain in his body now, and focused all his attention on this prayer.

Although he also believed in his gods before, those gods did not save him from suffering. Therefore, after starting a new life for the whole family on New Sauer Island, he immediately strengthened his belief in Nora.

This time, the reason why Hans fell ill was related to the sudden outbreak of those old injuries on his body. So he could feel all kinds of ailments in his body.

However, after he prayed to Nora for the first time, he unexpectedly found that the pain and suffocation in his body before were relieved, and he felt much more comfortable.

Since he is now immobile on the bed like a vegetable, there is nothing to do. So I simply put all my energy and time into prayer.

As he prayed over and over again, his concentration of faith increased greatly, and just a few days was worth the prayers of others for years or even decades.

It was also because of this that Nora had noticed his existence just now. Because there was nothing to do right now, she simply returned from the Kingdom of God with Lawrence, and then went to the hospital after a simple change of clothes.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency." After seeing Lawrence in religious attire appearing at the door of the ward, the doctor who was comforting the family members immediately bowed to Lawrence.

"Okay, I'm here to pray for a believer at the end of his life." Lawrence nodded slightly in return, "Where is the patient named Hans?"

"He's on that bed in this ward." The doctor pointed to a bed near the window in the innermost part of the room and said. Lawrence turned sideways slightly and saw a group of people surrounding it.

"We have tried our best to treat him, but his body is too weak. So that we have used almost all means but still can't save his life." The doctor reported to Lawrence.

"Because he volunteered to be a trial subject for our new therapy, we experimented with intravenous drugs and nutritional supplements on him."

"It now appears that although these measures failed to save his life, they succeeded in prolonging his survival time and relieving him of various pains during this period."

"This is indeed good news, so we also need to thank him for his contribution to the development of medicine." Lawrence nodded.

This is also an important reason why an ordinary immigrant can live in this top-level ward, because he is now a volunteer in a medical experiment on the island.

After speaking, Lawrence walked to the hospital bed and bent down to look at Hans, who had his eyes closed tightly, and said, "Hans, I am Nora's hands and eyes in this world. Do you have any last wishes now?"

"Grandfather, he now—" The young man who was on the bed here before replied after hearing Lawrence's words, but before he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman exclaimed in a low voice, "Dad—Dad He opened his eyes!"
