Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 The sewers at night are dark and quiet, only some of the worms hiding here occasionally scream to break the silence in the sewer space.

　　 Suddenly, a beam of light turned from a dark corner in the sewer. The sound of messy footsteps falling from a high place also echoed in the empty sewer, completely destroying the silence here.

　　 "The road ahead is not very close, but all the ground has been hardened with cement and red bricks. It is not difficult to walk." After Lawrence came down for the first time, he raised his lantern to illuminate the surrounding space. Contrary to what he imagined, after entering the sewers, those transcendents could not see anything just like ordinary people. They had to be illuminated by a light source to move forward.

"What's weird about this, no one of us here has a talent for dark vision, naturally it is impossible to see things in the darkness like the dark elves." After entering the sewer and seeing the doubts on Lawrence's face, High Priest Arthur actively explained . As a clergy member of the Knowledge Church, he is happy to spread some knowledge, especially when the object of his spread of knowledge is a favored person.

"It is true that we have the magic that can see things in the dark. But please remember that one of the most basic principles in the use of extraordinary powers is to use extraordinary powers only when necessary. After all, the magic power a person has is limited. Yes, only the most important part of using every bit of magic power can we ensure that there is enough magic power to deal with when we really encounter problems."

　　 "Are you teaching juniors?" After listening to the conversation between the two, the demon hunter leader asked. "But I don't think he is an extraordinary person."

"If he wants, he can be the end of this operation." Arthur said, "His contribution now allows us to teach resources to help him become a transcendent, although it is only a non-caster. The extraordinary."

　　 "Really? That's great. Thank you High Priest Arthur." Lawrence smiled. Just like extraordinary monsters, although there are not many humans with extraordinary powers, they are definitely not rare. Especially for the upper-middle class in this world, becoming a transcendent is not an unattainable thing.

　　 Especially the transcendents of the pure physics department. There are enough resources in this world to help ordinary people with basic skills become such transcendents.

　　 Just like monsters and transcendental materials, low-level transcendents account for the majority of transcendent humans. But even the transcendents with the lowest apprenticeship level can make them do things that ordinary people can't do.

　　 For example, Lawrence knew that Professor Liston when he was in college was an extraordinary man. Of course, he was just a trainee fighter. But even such an extraordinary person in the physics department at the first level can give him enough physical strength, endurance, and accuracy during surgery.

Therefore, providing resources to help others become transcendents has also become a recognized means of reward in the world, and Lawrence helped the church find a relic related to the lower space this time, plus his relationship with the church is enough to allow him to get from the church. Get such a resource.

　　 "No thanks, this is what you deserve." Arthur said. "And this is also related to your strong body. If your body is not strong enough, it will be difficult for us to help you strengthen."

　　 "We're here." After talking about the transcendental enhancement, Lawrence took them back to the front of the rock wall at the end of the sewer. At this time, the door on the stone wall was as wide open as when he left before, except that the entrance to the black hole was now shrouded in a cloud of black mist with bleeding red light inside.

　　 "Yes, this is related to the lower planes." Both the staff of the Church of Knowledge or the Demon Hunter immediately saw the problem with this ruin.

　　 After a few minutes of careful inspection, High Priest Arthur straightened up and said to everyone. "It is certain that this is just a simple space conversion magic circle, we can go to the real ruins as long as we walk in."

　　 "And the people from the Church of the Lord of Dawn have already entered." The leading demon hunter turned around in the small open space in front of the rock wall and pointed to a thumb-sized sun nick on the wall next to it. "The holy emblem was painted directly. This is because they told us that there is no problem here. And judging from the residual holy light energy, they have been in for more than half an hour."

　　 Finally, after checking the alchemy instrument in Lawrence's hand to confirm that it was working properly, Arthur walked into the cave with the staff of the Church of Knowledge.

Before them, the demon hunters had already walked in. At first, the appearance of them disappearing after stepping into the black fog shocked Lawrence, but soon the demon hunters sent someone out to tell the knowledge church that there was one among them. A huge space full of hell.

　　 This let Lawrence know that the black mist blocking the cave is a magic circle that can send people to a designated place.

After everyone entered the cave, Lawrence hung the oil lamp in his hand on a nail that the workers had nailed to the side wall to hang things. At the same time, he hung the pocket watch lent him by the High Priest Arthur on the other side. On a nail. After that, he held a pistol full of exorcism bullets in each hand, leaning against the wall and standing in a dark place that was out of light.

　　 In the silence of the sewer, Lawrence felt that time was passing slowly. Finally, in his gaze, the pointer of the pocket watch passed fifteen minutes.

　　 "No response." Lawrence looked at the black cave on the rock wall, and then pressed the blue button on the alchemy instrument. When he finished this action, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the tunnel.

　　 "Priest Arthur, did they get the problem back?" Lawrence thought like this. At the same time, he subconsciously pointed at the hole with two pistols.

　　 As the footsteps approached, a figure walked out of the cave. By the light of the lantern hung on the wall, Lawrence recognized that guy as one of the gunmen hired by the baron before.

　　 After coming out of the cave, the gunman first glanced at the lantern on the wall, then untied his belt while walking towards the corner, looking like he was going to the toilet.

　　 Because Lawrence was hiding in the dark and the lantern attracted his attention, the gunman did not find Lawrence. Just as he was releasing heartily, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

　　 Hearing the sound, he immediately stretched out a hand to grab the pistol at his waist, but before he could move, he felt both hands grabbing his left and right wrists, and then suddenly lifted it back and up.

　　 "Ah!" The gunman screamed, and he could clearly feel that his joint was pulled and dislocated. However, as a veteran with rich combat experience, he did not sit and wait for death, but immediately kicked back with his right foot.

But at this time, the attacker behind him obviously also defended this hand. Just as the gunman kicked back, the attacker let go of his already immobile arms, and then caught the leg he kicked up. Mention.

　　 In this way, the gunman lost his balance and fell forward. What was even worse for him was that he couldn't move his arms now, so he could only watch his face fall directly onto the piece of sand that he had just soaked.

　　 "It's disgusting." Lawrence, who saw this scene twitched his cheeks, then tied the goods with a rope, ready to ask what was going on inside.
