Struggle in the Steam Age

After the shower, Lawrence waited for his hair to dry before crawling into bed and going to sleep. Because of a boring trip and a fight in the morning, he slept soundly this night. He was awakened by the sound of a doorbell until it started to darken.

"Mr. Gear is back. He invites you and your female companion to have dinner together in the restaurant downstairs in 20 minutes." After opening the door, the maid appeared outside and said, "Yes, sir. Let me remind you that it’s enough to wear casual clothes. It’s really easy to wear for dinner parties. There is no need to wear that cumbersome dress."

"This is really good news. It means I don't have to wear that troublesome evening gown." Said Sefil, who also just came out of the room and stood next to Lawrence when the maid left. At this time, because the two people were very close, Lawrence could even smell the nice scent on Syfiel's hair.

"What do you think of my shampoo?" Because the two are so familiar, Lawrence just smoked his nose, and Syfiel probably guessed what Lawrence was doing, but she was not like a normal woman. She was shy, but she asked directly with her short gray hair.

"I think the new shampoo you used is great. Is it the one that Fatina configured before?" Since Syfiel asked directly, Lawrence naturally asked his own questions directly and directly. "I remember a while ago Fatina kept saying that soap was too dry for washing hair, so I wanted to make a useful shampoo. Then I smelled this on your hair in the laboratory where Fatina used. taste."

"You guessed it, this citrus-flavored shampoo is indeed made by Fatina." Saifier said, "Fatina has been complaining before that it is too troublesome to fill the whole body with soap in the bath. , So she succeeded in making this shampoo to facilitate bathing. Unfortunately, some alchemy skills are needed to make this liquid, otherwise it would be a good business to sell it."

After chatting for a few words to get rid of the sleepiness in their minds, Lawrence and Syphil went back to their rooms to change their clothes and head to the restaurant downstairs. At the door of the restaurant, they met Koge, who was here to greet them in a suit. There was the big robot beside him.

"Welcome, you are welcome to come to my house as guests." Kogg said as he stretched out his right hand and shook Lawrence, then slightly bent over and stretched out his hand to invite them into the restaurant.

Walking into the restaurant, Lawrence found that the entire restaurant is dominated by gold and red, and there are many beautiful artworks around. The entire restaurant looks magnificent, and is extremely appropriate to the style of the entire building.

When everyone sat in their seats, Kogg looked at Lawrence and said, “After receiving your telegram, I asked the chef and servants to prepare the dinner for tonight. Fortunately, they succeeded. I bought the most delicious local specialty of this season: rainbow salmon. This is a delicacy worth tasting here—"

"Yes, autumn is indeed a harvest season." Lawrence said, "Just like the Eagle Fort, there are also several kinds of sea crabs on the market, and each one is very fat--"

The whole dinner was spent in such a harmonious atmosphere. I have to say that the taste of grilled sockeye salmon is really great, with a unique sweetness of high-end aquatic products, and it also has a little nourishing effect. No wonder About 3 kilograms of fish cost 12 yuan. Lawrence felt that this fish was indeed worthy of its price.

Wait until the last drink, after the hot cocoa from the sea of ​​stars is served. Kogg raised his cup and took a sip and then leaned on his special chair and asked, "By the way, why did you choose to travel here at this time? Now there are murlocs everywhere, except for the city. inconvenient."

"Don't mention it, I didn't expect to hit the murloc attack at this time, and this year is the year of the murloc attack." Lawrence shrugged helplessly. He naturally did some homework before he came. However, the time of the Murloc attack has always been a period of time rather than a specific day, and he did not expect to just hit it.

"You are really unlucky." Kogg's face showed sympathy. He had known through the newspapers what Lawrence had done in Eagle Fort, so he ran to stop Lawrence after he just participated in a high-intensity competition. The plague broke out, and finally came out on vacation and encountered a murloc attack, which showed great sympathy.

Lawrence also smiled helplessly, but soon he remembered one thing and asked Cog. "By the way, in addition to traveling in Huguang City, we are also planning to visit Hupan Town this time. What do you know about that place?"

"Lakeside Town? Which one are you asking?" Cog asked after listening to Lawrence's question. "What you outsiders may not know is that before the establishment of Huguang City, the nearby settlements were named randomly. There is no unified plan. So there are only four or five places on the lakeside called Hupan Town that I know."

"Uh—" Lawrence was really not sure about this, but he soon thought of something and said, "The lakeside town I'm talking about is more than ten kilometers east of the city. There is a cruise ship in the town. pier."

"The one you are talking about is a lakeside town with hidden treasures." After listening to Lawrence's description, Cog gave an answer that surprised him. "That is indeed a very attractive place for tourists, but you can't go now. Because after discovering that this year's murloc attacks were large-scale attacks, like these are too close to the lake, there is not much defensive value and not much defensive ability. The people in the town and the settlements have withdrawn to the city."

"Wait, did you just say that there are treasures hidden in the town?" Syfiel naturally knew that Lawrence came out this time to hunt for treasures, so she was surprised when she heard from Cog that there were treasures in the town. come out.

"You won't be fooled by our travel brochure, are you?" Kogger guessed her thoughts through Sefei's expression. "Actually more than ten years ago, when I was a child, my father and I were attracted to that place by the brochure. As a result, I found nothing but a broken cave."

Having said that, he found that Lawrence and the others looked a little frustrated after hearing the news, so he quickly added. "Of course, the travel brochure of that town is not deceiving, but the treasure was taken away long ago."

After hearing these words, Lawrence and Syfiel took a look. They had imagined many possibilities before, but never thought that this important stronghold in the bloodiest sky was not only dug out but also turned into a scenic spot.

"Can you tell me the specific situation?" Lawrence asked, he was really curious about the situation here. Because although the treasure map has a long history, it is easy to tell that these strongholds were not drawn on the map at the same time by the difference between the red dots drawn on the map.

According to Lawrence’s careful observation of the treasure map and the information he found from the Church of Knowledge, he can infer that the two earliest strongholds were also destroyed at the same time when the Scarlet Firmament organization was destroyed hundreds of years ago. UU看书www.uukanshu .com But the remnants of the blood-colored firmament rebuilt their stronghold many times in the long time after that.

However, both the earliest and later strongholds were taken down by the various forces in the records of the Church of Knowledge. The reason why this place is suspected to be the last stronghold of the Scarlet Sky was not recorded, so there are only two possibilities. , Either it was not discovered, or the intensity of the battle was too low to be qualified to be recorded.

Obviously, a well-known treasure cannot be undiscovered, it can only be that the fighting intensity is too low. However, the escaped Scarlet Sky Mage that was found in the coal mine before was wiped out by the elite squad who followed it, so this place can be regarded as the last stronghold of a branch of Scarlet Sky. How could it be possible to break through? The fighting intensity is very low?

This kind of contradictory information made Lawrence a little puzzled, so he was very curious to tell Kogg the story about the hidden treasure. And Kogg, as a local transcendent, does know some news that has not been circulated outside, and today he is very talkative. So after Lawrence asked him about this question, he started to talk like opening a chatterbox.

"You are right to ask me." Kogger said after bringing himself a new cup of hot cocoa, "Because of my childhood wish, I also studied this matter specially—"
