Creator's Steam Fairy

After entering the Broken Plateau, there is no way to drive at night, they can only transfer during the day.

"Let's rest today, my magic power is not enough."

Luria felt it a little bit, and it took about half of her magic power to temporarily open the way. Although she has never had much energy efficiency to speak of, this consumption is too much.

She silently used magic power to communicate with the silver ring, and soon got the answer.

[Good afternoon, beautiful girl.Both decomposing substances and teleportation require additional consumption. In an emergency, you can actively turn off the decomposition function]

This time, not only did the frame become colorful and very beautiful, but there was even a crisp music box-like voice resounding in her head.

This dog magic item quietly upgraded itself again.

For the sake of it being honest (called a beautiful girl), forget it.

Be careful not to run out of magic power, but the plan to dig holes everywhere has to be put on hold for the time being.

The further you went into the wilderness, the hotter the weather became drier and hotter. Even Alice, who claimed to never care about the environment, hid in the hut released by Loria after looking at the map for a while.

Taking a sip of the cool wine that had just been taken out of the cellar, she leaned on the porch and listened to the chirping chatter between Pink Mao and the maid, and didn't participate in it, just quietly enjoying the rare afternoon time.

The feeling of heat and coolness colliding, don't have a summer fun.

Far away on the edge of the wilderness, two light cavalry rode forward in the direction pointed out by the shepherd.

They circled around the spot a few times, determined that the ruts on the ground belonged to the mission target, and looked at each other helplessly.

Really into the wilderness.

The soft land and plants on the periphery can indicate the direction...but if you go deeper, the hard soil and sand and gravel in the wilderness can hardly leave traces.

Facing the vicious scorching sun at noon, the sweaty and exhausted man and horse tentatively entered the wilderness unwillingly.

The first to set off did not carry much rations at all, and at most they had to wait for follow-up support when they reached the edge of the pasture.

The next morning.

Loria shared the security work before midnight, Alice also got enough rest, and even Abigail, who was in the weakest physique, looked healthy with the help of a comfortable and quiet room and nutritious food. flush.

Before going to bed, they even had the luxury of washing themselves clean with the stream water from the last stop—there was still a lot of water stored in the cellar anyway.Afterwards, as long as a small river is found, with Luo Liya's construction ability, she can even make a simple water purification pool.

When the light was enough to see the terrain clearly, the three smiling and drinking honey tea or wine set up another fake camp.

While the other two were not paying attention, Luria spat a few times into a small bag of food that was used as a prop because she couldn't finish it, then tied the bag tightly and kicked it on the ground again, pretending to run away in a panic, even Even the food was thrown away.

She clapped her hands and jumped into the car happily, blowing up mountains all the way, and pressing down when encountering ditches.

On the other side, on the outskirts of the wilderness, where the grassland gradually thinned out, revealing a large area of ​​yellowish-brown soil, the two cavalry who were chasing first sat quietly under a dead tree overnight, and finally got backup—the cavalry carrying a lot of dry food and multiple water bags .

"One person stayed behind to support, and the others were half a kilometer away from me, searching forward along the traces... If we are lucky, we will be able to return tonight."

The squad leader of the scouting cavalry made the decision to search immediately. Although he only carried a little horse material, he didn't feel that the supplies were insufficient.

It's just three ignorant girls who fled into the wilderness. Even if there is a steam car for transportation, how much fuel can it carry?How far can you go in three days?

Maybe they have run out of food now, and they are hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

"Prepare the hand crossbow, meet the target, catch as much as possible without being resisted, let's go!"

At their speed, it was enough to search for a distance of [-] kilometers before noon.

……

The journey to the southwest was particularly difficult. After only one hour of departure, Loria had to leave the Defender of the Holy Church and open the road by herself. The boiler was switched back to coal-fired drive, and Alice drove the steam car to follow. Luria walked slowly behind - they walked through the narrow plateau between the two mountain ranges, and it was difficult to find a flat ground over 100 meters that could be passed directly.

Although Luria opened the way very fast, her physical strength and magic power were not enough to last for too long.

Only three hours later, at ten o'clock in the morning, Miss Priest got back into the car and didn't want to move again.

Alice didn't rush. Although the progress was not as expected, she never thought that the mountain roads in this area would be so difficult... After all the plants died, the soil in the mountains was easily taken away by the rain, and there were exposed rocks everywhere.

I'm afraid I'll have to temporarily abandon the car and switch to walking.

She looked at the sun that was about to rise above her head, and sighed helplessly.

Under such a scorching sun, Luria would definitely not want to walk.

If she wasn't squeamish, it wouldn't match her appearance. Thinking of this, Alice smiled, and simply proposed to let the hut out and rest on the spot.

Anyway, they have gone too far ahead, so let's coax Xiao Fenmao to walk again when the evening is cooler.

It was not until 04:30 in the afternoon that Luria, who was half full of magic power, half-pushed in the infinite loop of 'just go a little bit', 'look there might be iron ore over there', 'the last mile' hit the road.

They drove the defenders of the holy religion into the range of Eve's cabin and put them away together. Although the walking speed was slow, the road was not too difficult.

At least Loria didn't have to think about the huge steam car when driving the road.

When night fell, Luo Liya regained her energy instead, and the magic light ball illuminated the surroundings like daylight. Without the scorching sun, her physical strength seemed to have suddenly recovered, and she was able to push Pale-faced Abigail trotted forward.

They didn't know that after losing the obvious trace, those self-proclaimed elite scouting cavalry found the pond dug by Loria along the stream at night and the wreckage of their completely uncovered camp after going in the wrong direction several times. '.

Chapter 42

"No! We can't go on like this!"

In the early morning, Luria, who fell down while walking through the mountains, was unwilling to leave again.

It's not self-will, but I feel that running in such a mess is against my original intention.

When it came to the stage of pure physical strength, she didn't think she could compare with Zybia's army.

Although passing through the mountains can take advantage of the fuel to open up the distance again, isn't that just running away for the sake of running away?

She clearly intends to drink honey tea and live a leisurely wilderness life, waiting for those idiots to come to her door.

It's really not about venting your anger after a fall!

Loria looked up and looked around. Layers of hills blocked her view, and they were already in the mountains.

Using the increasingly proficient 'Magic Impact·Terrain Transformation', she built a row of 'stairs' on a steep rock wall, and climbed up on her own regardless of the surprised gazes of Alice and the maid.

The field of vision is much wider... She looked around, looking for a suitable target.

Soon a high and steep hill was found, separated from the surrounding area.

"Come on, let's hide."

The maid followed without thinking. Alice sighed helplessly and followed.

After all, although she was a partner who fled together, Xiao Fenmao was also her employer.

After her two companions climbed up, Loria accumulated magic power and cut off the stairs on the cliff.

Amazing, the hard mountain is vulnerable to her magic.

In this way, she sometimes opened the way ahead, and sometimes went behind to destroy the stairs and paths she had created. After more than half an hour, she came to the pre-selected steep small peak.

The two conical peaks are close to each other, more than 30 meters high. Compared with the mountains in the distance, they appear dwarfed, but they seem unattainable to the people at their feet.

"This... is this going to live on the top of the mountain, miss? But the top seems to be uneven..."

"Just fry it flat."

Luo Liya answered and observed around the small peak. It was rare for her to plan seriously before construction... A few minutes later, she started to work.

Following the natural trend of the mountain, a spiral path was dug upward. When reaching a height of more than ten meters, there was a naturally protruding stone platform. Loria went backwards and slowly destroyed the way up. Opening the road in the next gentle direction, she controlled the magic as lightly as possible, and imitated the appearance of a natural mountain when destroying the road, with exquisite craftsmanship.

People who are not familiar with geology really can't see what's coming.

It took them more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain by this method.

Although it is slow, it is reliable. As for how to go on in the future, it is just to repeat the current work, or directly build a spiral downward passage in the mountain. A big slope comes.

After a short rest, she began to level the ground on the top of the mountain until it was enough to accommodate the entire hut, and then scraped off the foundation by half a meter.

Soon, Eve's hut expanded on the top of the mountain, and the mountain within the barrier was half a meter higher than the courtyard, like a natural stone wall.

Protect the garden from the wind, and prevent extreme joy from giving rise to sorrow.

Use all the last bit of magic power to open the illusion barrier, and the foolproof house on the mountain is completed.

"That's great." Alice clapped her hands and said, "The field of view is wide, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult to deploy heavy weapons in this mountainous area. With some small traps, it can be used as a small fortress."

Normal people would not break through many obstacles to climb this mountain. When the illusion enchantment was activated, as long as they did not run out, they would not be able to see anything even if they scouted from above.

"Anyway, we have so much food that it's about to go moldy."

Loria nodded and said with a smile, "It's just a little boring."

No matter how boring it is, it’s the right thing to watch the jokes of those villains for a month, Loria thought so, and simply went to the room to dig out an exquisite brass-rimmed binoculars.

It's a product long since obsoleted by zoom goggles, but it's a beautiful one.

Luria jumped onto the stone 'wall' and put the telescope close to her eyes. When she was living in the church, Mr. Angus gave her one - this was a fresh 'technology' belonging to her era. The illusion that cannot be explained by magic, although she can't see too far and is very unclear, but that is also the time when she saw the farthest during the days in the church.

It's a pity that she accidentally broke it later.

She stretched the barrel of the telescope in her hand and adjusted the focus. Although it is a retro handicraft, the careful carving of the craftsman still makes this telescope practical.

She still can't accept the feeling of goggles on her eyes, which always makes her feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

Although those delicate mechanical goggles even with ultra-miniature steam engines have become another great auxiliary equipment in a sense; although the goggles that look a bit like a frog after wearing them can't hide her beauty at all .

But she just didn't like it.

An elegant ancient priest must always have some aesthetic persistence.

For example, resolutely don't wear those stupid long skirts with low collars and tight waists!

Everything around is clearly visible, and one can even vaguely see the junction of the Broken Plateau and the mountains.

This is indeed a good place to guard. It will be even more perfect when she slowly digs a patio from the top of the mountain, and then digs far away, opening a small hole that is only big enough for her petite body to get out.

Heh, she doesn't believe that there is also Luo in Gambia's army... There are also petite and cute people like her.

Loria took the honey tea from Abigail and thought very seriously about how to construct, how to camouflage the hole, and how to sneak out to play at night.

……

On July 7, Captain Crespo received a medal in recognition of his decisive and brave actions in defending the Queen a few days ago-of course not by the fire set by his nephew, but by the change of the military police and the gendarmerie. Sometimes, there really are 'sabotage elements' who take advantage of the chaos and wreak havoc.

He threw the medal into the pile of debris in the study and sighed.

His wife and daughter have already crossed the sea to the west, and there is no possibility of him being held accountable for delaying time for Loria.

Nothing to worry about, but he couldn't cheer up.

It's good news that Luria and her friends are not officially wanted - at least it means that those who committed the worst crimes are not strong enough, and they have to hide in the dark to accumulate strength.

But the missing-murder case of the girl, which was originally in charge of the military police, was taken over by the military, and it was quickly concluded that the murderer was the owner of the Mason brothers and sisters workshop who had disappeared.

Joe, who disappeared for many days, and Joanna, who escaped from prison illegally under the guard of the military and police.

Quickly convicted and wanted.

Chapter 43 What About Soap Smell

"Is it really okay to teach you this kind of thing..."

Alice leaned on Luria's back, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your age..."

Although there was no one else here, Alice felt a little guilty considering the little pink hair's appearance that was far from mature.

"No problem!" Unlike Alice's prudence, Loria looked expectant. "From the date of birth alone, I can do anything at my age. What's next?"

Although the memories of her childhood are blurred, and she can't tell her exact age, but if she is also issued a certificate... From the old calendar to the new calendar, the age on the certificate should start in the hundreds.

"Concentrate on carefully understanding what I'm telling you, and use your arms... to use more force."

Alice removed the supporting arm, put her whole body weight on Little Pink Hair, held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, that's it."

Explosions came from beside her ears, and a hole was shattered in a wooden barrel more than [-] meters away, and Luria felt as if the part where her arm connected to her shoulder had been severely punched.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt a lot of pressure teaching Little Pink to use a rifle-this is a weapon that is clearly prohibited by ordinary people from all countries.

It's not very powerful, but its range is enough to threaten those who usually can't get close easily.

Unlike the revolver, which is a close-combat weapon that depends on luck if you hit it ten meters away, experienced riflemen who have undergone extensive training... don't mention it.

On the contrary, Luria's performance was a bit beyond her expectation, although she was teaching her posture and aiming hand in hand.

But she was able to control the rifle itself, which was surprising—she looked petite, but her arm strength was almost as strong as Alice's.

Not very strong, but at least enough to use most light weapons.
