Struggle in the Steam Age

"What, don't we still have a lot of things to do?" After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora said with a look of shock, "I thought it would be fine as long as everything remained the same?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed as you said, everything can be kept as it is." Seeing Nora's innocent expression, Lawrence showed a helpless look.

"But the problem is that the process of becoming a god is too fast, and the process of becoming a god is also quite special. So much so that we haven't done a lot of things now."

"For example, we haven't formulated a suitable internal rule for the future church. Another example is that we don't have the most important scriptures for a god."

"Can't we re-use other people's scriptures and systems?" Obviously, the little puppet Nora still maintains her original inconspicuous personality even if she ignites the magic fire.

"For example, I think the overall feeling of the Church of Knowledge is good, and the general direction of the Church of the Passion is correct, but it is a bit too harsh on myself——

"Please, this is not homework, how can you copy each other randomly?" "After listening to what the little puppet said, even if Lawrence is just a consciousness projection, he feels his blood pressure is rising, and he has an urge to complain.

"Okay, okay. I understand." Sensing Lawrence's mood, Nora immediately changed the subject.

"But why didn't the priests tell me this news on the road before, but they all told me that everything would be much simpler after lighting the divine fire, and there wasn't much work to do."

"Maybe they are worried about adding pressure to you and making you nervous." Lawrence somehow thought of those teachers in high school who said they would feel relaxed after college.

"It's possible. After all, they need to do their best in the process of igniting the fire, so it's out of good intentions for them to hide some unimportant things." The little puppet nodded in approval.

"By the way, you just said that there is still a lot of work to be done. Can you tell us what we are going to do next?"

"Our next work needs to build everything needed for an entire church. In fact, under normal circumstances, others have already established some preliminary organizations at this time."

Having said that, Lawrence shook his head helplessly. "But because our previous accumulation of this aspect completely relied on certain traditions of the astral plane jackals, we have to start from scratch in this aspect."

"Building a church from scratch is really—" After frowning in distress, the little puppet immediately showed an expression of enlightenment. "You are now my chief clergyman, so the next question is up to you."

Sure enough, although the little puppet has already ignited the magic fire, all kinds of perceptions are still the same as when she was an ordinary constructed life. For example, throw the blame to Lawrence when he doesn't want to do anything.

"Please, a series of things in the church of all the gods are designed by those gods bit by bit. There is no such thing as outsourcing."

Lawrence said helplessly. But looking at Nora's begging eyes, he finally couldn't hold on after pausing for a few seconds. "Okay, okay, I'll help you, but you have to do this job too, you can't leave it all to me."

"Of course, this is my church after all. How could I not contribute at all." After hearing that Lawrence was willing to help her, Nora immediately burst into a smile.

It has to be said that after the magic fire was lit, the doll's charm was indeed much stronger than before, so this smile even stunned Lawrence for a second or two.

Fortunately, there was a special connection between the two parties, so Lawrence quickly came to his senses. However, he felt that if an ordinary person were here, he might be completely attracted by this smile and become a believer of the little doll.

"Then we're going to start work, but I'm in Green Island now, and even if I go back now, it should take two weeks to get back." After both parties calmed down, Lawrence told Nora the next step. an arrangement for a period of time.

"Actually, you'll be back in five days." Hearing what Lawrence said, Nora replied immediately. "You just need to take a boat to the St. Nix Islands in the northernmost part of the Silver Federation. There is a fast airship field belonging to the referee."

"As my highest-ranking clergyman, you have the right to bring your relatives and luggage that does not exceed the weight of one person to take a fast airship and rush back to New Sauer Island through air relay."

"Abusing power is not a good thing, my dear Nora." After listening to the little puppet's suggestion, Lawrence shook his head subconsciously. "I'm not some rigid person, but—"

"Don't worry, this is a business matter." said the little puppet who agreed with Lawrence. "As the highest-ranking clergyman under my command, you should have come back as quickly as possible after I ignited the divine fire."

"According to tradition, the fast airship is already the lowest-level existence. This is mainly because the place you are now is too desolate. Otherwise, I should let you and Sister Safir directly use space teleportation at this time."

"Okay, I'll come over as soon as possible." Lawrence smiled. "Next, go out and show your face to appease the people outside. And I'm going to tell everyone the good news. We'll talk after we're free after everything is done."

After finishing the communication, Lawrence woke up suddenly. When he walked out of the room, he saw that Safir had heard the movement in the room and came out to greet him.

"How's the situation now?" Safir asked nervously.

"Everything is going well, but now Nanara needs our help, so let's pack up and prepare to go back." Lawrence said, looking at the clock in the corner, only to find that only three hours had passed.

By 4 pm that day, Lawrence and Safiel had already arrived at the pier and were about to leave the island. At this time, the Viscount Surrey and several nearby nobles hurried to the pier to see them off.

Behind them, a large-scale building is being built. This is the church that these people built for Nora after they knew that she had successfully completed the ascension ceremony.

The reason why this group of people built this church is also very simple. On the one hand, the generation of the Northern Islands is so desolate that no other gods are willing to focus on it except the God of Suffering.

Therefore, after Nora successfully completed the ascension ceremony and mastered part of the power of the gods, these noble lords were naturally willing to spread her beliefs in this area out of consideration for seeking more help for the island.

In addition, although the two parties are conducting fair trade. But in the eyes of these lords, if Lawrence hadn't tried his best to help them, they would not have found such an opportunity for development advance.

In other words, according to the tradition of the nobility, these lords owed Lawrence a very important favor. And whether it is for nobles or ordinary people, favors cannot just be owed but not repaid.

Therefore, after the puppet successfully completed the ascension ceremony and appointed Lawrence as their highest-ranking clergyman, these nobles immediately set about building three small temples dedicated to Nora at the same time.

In the eyes of the nobles of Surrey Island, these temples can not only bless the development of the island, but also return some favors like Lawrence, so it is obviously a win-win approach.

"Don't worry, everything will go smoothly." Taking advantage of the last half an hour of the ship's preparation, Lawrence stood on the pier to comfort the nobles who came to see him off.

"After I go back, I will complete the work in this area as soon as possible, and then gradually normalize our economic cooperation and trade."
