Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 After discussing the thesis, Lawrence and the others went to visit the wounded man. After some inspection, they found that the condition of the wounded was indeed very good. At least according to Liszt's experience, this person only has a little pus and redness in the wound, and it seems that there should be no serious infection.

After two people re-sanitized the wound with spirits and changed the dressing of the wounded, a gunman found them: "Two gentlemen, our boss hopes to hold a bonfire party to boost morale in the evening. I hope you can participate. ."

　　 "Of course, of course we will." Lawrence nodded and agreed. After all, this kind of social activity was also the reason why they joined the expedition.

　　 He went back to his house and cleaned up briefly, and Lawrence and Liszt went to a clearing on the construction site together. This previous vacant land has been completely cleaned up, but a shallow pit was dug in the middle, and a cone-shaped firewood pile with a height of one person was placed in the center of the shallow pit.

　　 Three ovens were placed around the shallow pit. Some gunmen and workers were burning fire, and some were marinating various meats on one side. It seems that this evening should be a barbecue party.

　　In the Old Continent, such as the former sovereign state of the White Eagle Federation, Bulitun. At this kind of gathering, everyone will get together and hold a tea party. At the same time, they think that barbecue parties like the White Eagle Federation are a barbaric practice.

　　 But in the White Eagle Federation, most people think that the Briton tea party is only suitable for meeting a series of conditions, such as venue, space, and guests. Besides, the barbecue party is more direct. It's an obvious hypocrisy to insist on drinking tea when the conditions are clearly not met.

　　 Before Lawrence and the others waited long, the sky slowly darkened. As the bonfire started, everyone began to eat and drink to relax. I have to say that this kind of buffet-style barbecue party is more suitable for releasing everyone's emotions. After Baron Gonzalez said a few words, everyone quickly became active under the stimulation of barbecue and beer.

"Ha, why don't you two drink? The only thing served tonight is craft beer. It won't matter if you drink a little bit. After all, the extraordinary person I was looking for won't be here until the morning after." Looking at Lawrence and the others Just drinking water, Gonzalez admonished with a glass of beer.

　　 "In that case, let's drink a little." Liszt said and brought a glass of beer from the side, and Lawrence also raised the glass. "Thank you for your hospitality."

　　 After saying that, the three of them raised their glasses and touched them together, then drank them all. But Lawrence used the night and Liszt's obstruction to directly spill the wine on his clothes.

　　 Of course, Gonzalez did not notice this. After seeing Lawrence empty the glass in their hands, they said a few polite words and left.

"If you don't have to work tomorrow, it would be a good idea to drink some wine and sleep in." After watching Gonzales leave, Liszt told Lawrence, "Anyway, our wages are settled by the number of days and we can rest. Just one day can perfect our paper."

　　 In the following time, Lawrence and the others found the two students of Professor Edward and chatted. During the chat, he learned why there were two fewer workers when he returned.

　　 After discovering monsters hidden in the lake during the early expedition, Gonzalez ordered the expedition to try to lure those monsters to the lake and kill them. But what everyone in the room did not expect was that the monsters were not just fish, but some kind of amphibians. Two workers were unable to retreat at this time and were dragged into the water by the creeping monster.

　　 The male demon hunter was trying to save the two workers when he was injured by a green water arrow by a monster that was a circle larger than the other monsters. Since this monster has been hiding in the sand without showing up, and the sand at the bottom of the lake is likely to have some shielding effect, everyone feels caught off guard by this raid.

　　 The sister of the demon hunter reacted very promptly after seeing this scene. She pulled her brother back with a noose. Otherwise, the victims of the attack would probably be more than two workers. Fortunately, there seemed to be some restrictions in that place, and the monsters stopped after chasing the entrance of the cave, so as not to cause further casualties to the expedition.

　　 "But the workers are indeed very brave. Although they usually look dull, they didn't panic even if they were attacked this time." One of the students sighed while drinking the wine in his hand. "Know that we have done archaeology in other places before, and most of the workers often get into a mess after encountering problems, and finally cause many casualties that shouldn't have been there."

"Yes." Another student also ate the piece of roast beef on the plate in his hand, and then said: "What shocked me the most was that the two workers did not make a horrible sound from being attacked to being dragged into the water. Called, it has been silent like a stone. This has greatly changed my perception of Yanzhou people. I swear that I will not think of them as a naturally sloppy race in the future."

"Yes, I am also shocked." The student who had just drunk put down his glass and said, "Foreman Boob said that keeping silent is a custom of their tribe. Only those who are not afraid of death can be called a warrior. The same Only in this way can their souls after death return to the embrace of their ancestors."

"It turns out that it is so, they are really too brave! This should be the noble barbarians mentioned in the book. I have mentioned in the book that there are still some people of those ignorant races that are similar to our civilized people. His noble soul.” Liszt exclaimed after listening to the introduction of the two students, but Lawrence frowned where others could not see ~www.wuxiahere.com~ He thought it sounded very wrong.

　　 This celebration continued until it was close to midnight, and everyone felt a little sleepy after playing for several hours. So they greeted Baron Gonzalez and returned to their rooms. To their surprise, a whole pot of honey made from dried grapefruit imported from the Republic of West Coast was placed on the table in the room. pomelo tea.

　　 However, due to various mysterious circumstances encountered before, Lawrence just pretended to have a cup of tea. A few minutes after drinking the tea, Liszt yawned and went back to bed. Upon seeing this, Lawrence also became lazy and returned to his room.

　　 After returning to his room, he climbed onto the bed without taking off his jacket, then closed his eyes and fell into a sleep sleep. More than an hour later, just when Lawrence thought nothing would happen today, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room.

　　 The man stood by the edge of Lawrence's room for a few seconds, and then stuck a metal pipe through the crack in the rough wooden wall of the house. Then a little white smoke came out of the pipe.

　　 Lawrence immediately opened a small mouth with his fingers on the wallpaper near his head, and then moved his mouth to slowly breathe in the fresh air that penetrated through the cracks in the wooden board.

　　 A few minutes later, the room was silent. Liszt, who was snoring because of exhaustion, had no sound at all at this moment. Lawrence lay on the bed and listened quietly to the movement outside. He really waited for a while. After listening to no movement in the room, the person outside walked away with slightly heavy footsteps.

　　 "What the **** happened here?" Lawrence slowly took out the gun and held it in his hand thinking. "Why do I feel more confused."
