Struggle in the Steam Age

At the top of the water tower in a worker's residential area in the gear area, a roar full of sacred flavor exploded. "Knowledge is everything, and the inspiration that forms the source of knowledge is more precious than knowledge—"

As the sound of chanting the teachings of the God of Knowledge echoed at the top of the water tower, the vagrant who had shown his power in front of Lawrence before rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, while foam oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"High Priest Arthur, I think your [Rebuke Technique] should be temporarily suspended." Lawrence walked to the ladder leading to the top of the water tower and shouted down, "We managed to catch someone alive, if you If this goes on like this, the survivor will probably become a corpse."

"This guy is too inexperienced. I haven't finished reading the first paragraph of the scripture." The voice of the God of Knowledge chanting at the bottom of the stairs stopped immediately, and then High Priest Arthur, who was dressed in a carriage driver's costume, whispered Complaining and climbing up the stairs to the top of the water tower.

On the one hand, Lawrence came here today to investigate the source of the epidemic, and on the other hand, he was trying to use himself as a bait to lure out the possible troublemakers. The high priest Arthur took this opportunity to pretend to be his driver, hiding in the dark as a hidden backhand for this operation.

Because Lawrence opened a factory here before and was welcomed by the workers and his achievements in medicine, it is very reasonable for him to choose to come alone to investigate the situation at this time. It was also because of such reasonableness that he successfully deceived the black hands behind the scenes.

"This guy is a professional wanderer." High Priest Arthur said to Lawrence while taking out a special restraint from his arms to bind the unconscious sneak attacker. "As an official-level spellcaster, you can corner a rogue who is one level higher than you and is good at fighting in a small space under the premise of being attacked in such a small space on the top of the water tower. That’s pretty good already.”

"Thank you for your compliment." A smile appeared on Lawrence's face immediately. With High Priest Arthur's one-on-one personality, if he praises someone, it means that this person has indeed done a good job in some aspects. As the person in charge of the Doctrine Department of St. Gutenberg Cathedral, his accumulated rich knowledge also makes his judgments on matters related to extraordinary combat power more objective.

Seeing High Priest Arthur tie this guy up like a rice dumpling, Lawrence asked worriedly: "Well, High Priest Arthur, I think it's too difficult to tie this guy up like this."

The stairs to the top of the water tower are narrow and steep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up and down alone. It is definitely not an easy job to lift this guy who is tied up and cannot move.

"Get it down, why should we get this guy down?" High Priest Arthur had just tied up the attacker and stood up at this time, and explained with a smile after hearing Lawrence's question. "When urban areas are faced with this kind of problem, we have better solutions."

After speaking, he released a magical flame into the air, and five or six minutes later, an airship that looked only the size of a bus appeared above the top of the water tower. The airship's airbag has a black coat of arms painted in silver dye of a mighty-looking wrist brandishing a flintlock with a banner. Surrounding it is a circle of motto written in Guradnem: The sword and shield of the civilized world.

"Trial Court?" Lawrence's eyes widened. This is a very loose interracial international organization in the New World. Branches are divided into regions, and each branch basically operates independently. Organizational mastery. Members naturally come from various civilized races.

This organization has only one mission, and that is to find and eradicate all the guys who threaten the civilized world. And their appearance here means that everyone has been alerted to this matter, and all the forces that can be mobilized have been mobilized.

Soon the airship disembarked two Inquisitorial Inquisitors wearing silver masks and hiding themselves under black robes with silver patterns. After bowing slightly to High Priest Arthur and Lawrence, they took out various tools from their bodies, and then tortured the captives.

The torture method of the superhumans seems to be much more civilized than that of ordinary people, especially with the help of certain potions and magic, it is easy to pry the victim's mouth open, especially when these superhumans are not high-level. when,

After removing the rags covering their faces, Lawrence and the others found that the attacker was a middle-aged man with a thin face and a normal face. After simply pouring down a bottle of clear water potion and assisting with some seemingly inhumane magic, everyone quickly got the confession they wanted.

After listening to the confession, a judge stepped forward and began to search the prisoner. From the prisoner, he found a pile of bottles and jars that seemed to be filled with ominous liquids, and at last he also found the underwear from the prisoner. A purple badge was found in the mezzanine.

This badge is purple, and three teardrop-like ambers are inlaid on it. Lawrence recognized what this thing represented at the first glance when he saw it. After all, after publishing a bunch of medical-related papers a while ago, he has been paying attention to the power represented by this badge.

"Mrs. Illness, I should have thought of it." High Priest Arthur showed an expression of enlightenment after seeing the badge. If the other party is a member of the Church of Poison and Disease, then his behavior of spreading the disease is very easy to understand.

Because members of the Toxic and Disease Church have always been committed to spreading diseases, and using diseases to kill some rich people to plunder their property or intimidate everyone to hand over their wealth to avoid being harmed by the disease. That's why after discovering that the attacker was a member of the Church of Toxins and Diseases, High Priest Arthur showed a sudden realization.

After obtaining a lot of information from the attacker, the judge of the trial court immediately took out a communicator to pass on the information. A few minutes later, shouts came from the residential area below.

"I hope no innocents are hurt." Lawrence prayed softly after hearing the shout, but the speed of chiseling the red brick with the crowbar in his hand did not slow down at all. After forcing the confession just now, the two judges left directly with the prisoners, while Lawrence stayed and High Priest Arthur dealt with the problem in the water storage tank above the water tower.

After the culture solution containing typhoid bacteria was put in, some magic props were inlaid around the water storage tank above the water tower by members of the Church of Toxic and Disease, and a magic circle was formed through these magic props. Can greatly strengthen those pathogens that cause disease.

And what Lawrence is doing now is to pry open the red bricks on the wall to take out the magic props, and then completely destroy the magic circle that pollutes the water source.

Since these magic props are relatively fragile, once they are destroyed, it is likely to cause some unpredictable vicious results. So this job doesn't use magic. Fortunately, Lawrence had a crowbar with him, so after half an hour he dug out five leaf-shaped crystal bottles containing some kind of ominous green liquid.

"The source of the disease, it seems that the spreaders of the disease have paid a lot of money this time!" High Priest Arthur quickly recognized what these palm-sized bottles were, and then took them out of a silk space pocket with him. He took out a sterling silver box with various runes painted on it, and put these dangerous goods in it.

When all this was done, the commotion in the residential area below subsided. Through the windows of the water tower, Lawrence saw several guys being escorted out by those armored and heavily armed demon hunters and the extraordinary beings belonging to the federal government.

"Very good. It seems that the operation went smoothly. We should have caught those guys by surprise." High Priest Arthur, who had arranged a purification magic circle next to the water storage tank, walked to Lawrence's side and looked down, "And We also achieved zero casualties."
