Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 One night's time passed quickly. Just as the sun was about to rise, Lawrence had already woke up from the church room in the dark. After coming out of the meditation room last night and going to the restaurant to eat something, he has been practicing the newly mastered magic in the exclusive practice room of the church, and did not go to bed until the mana was exhausted.

　　Through the practice last night, he found that his mana can release about 22 zero-level magic or 4-11 first-level magic at a time. This is mainly because the mana required for the zero-level spells are almost the same, and the mana required for the first-level magic with different spells is 2 to 5 times that of the zero-level magic. In addition, he also naturally gained the ability to see, and he could see things that ordinary people could not see.

　　 After the practice, after a full night of sleep, Lawrence was completely restored from the exhausted mana. This is mainly due to the fact that the energy circulation in his body naturally began to move closer to Bai Ze's inner circulation after awakening the blood, which is equivalent to learning a special meditation idea that is very suitable for him.

　　 stretched, Lawrence wiped the match on the bedside in the dark and lit the oil lamp. Then he took the oil lamp into the bathroom and cleaned himself. When he wrote the telegram to his father and entered the restaurant with the first morning light at dawn, he happened to meet the clergy of the Church of Knowledge who came to eat together after praying.

"Lawrence, you have completely recovered now. Thank you to the God of Knowledge." Just as Lawrence finished cooking with an iron plate and sat at the table to eat, Peter also took his own breakfast and sat opposite him, and then it was like a radio. Speaking of the latest news.

From the messy information he was nagging about, Lawrence learned that the Church of Knowledge had recovered the wreckage of the staff. After research, they believed that this powerful magic item was destroyed because of its long-term blockade as a belief in magic item. The disappearance of the admirer makes it lose its power continuously.

In the end, in the battle, Bobu extracted a large amount of energy to maintain the trap space and suppress everyone’s resistance. The last bit of energy contained in the Staff of Prosperity and Decline was consumed, and Lawrence himself kept attacking. Its body. In the end it led to such magic to destruction.

　　 The news gave Lawrence a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his secret had not been discovered. After eating, he was going to go to Liszt's clinic to find him to continue to improve the paper, but Priest Carter blocked him at the door of the restaurant. "Lawrence, you have become an extraordinary man now, so can you talk about your plans?"

　　 "I, I want to be a powerful warlock. But I don't want to give up everything now." Lawrence said hesitantly. "So I am a little confused now, can you give me a good opinion?"

　　 "The life of the extraordinary is not contradictory to the life of ordinary people!" Priest Carter's eyes widened slightly when Lawrence heard it, and then he laughed directly.

"Look less about those novels on the street. Transcendents are also humans. It does not say that you must be separated from ordinary people to master transcendent power. Think about your father and then think about me. Even if we serve the **** of knowledge, we don’t It means giving up the life of a normal person. For example, after your father is busy with church work, he still devotes his free time to his pile of research."

　　 "Oh, it turned out to be like this." Lawrence suddenly discovered that he had previously encountered a group of clergymen who could be identified as transcendents, and this too single sample obviously could not represent the universal phenomenon of transcendents.

"In fact, many of the transcendents, especially the low-level transcendents who are not clergy, maintain their ordinary people's living habits and work." Priest Carter looked at Lawrence, "Since you have just said your ideals, then I Personally, I suggest that you better put up a name in our Faith Department."

　　 "Have a name?" Lawrence asked in a puzzled way.

"Yes, every church has a team dedicated to dealing with all kinds of extraordinary problems. But the problem is that the church does not have enough resources, and taking into account various influences, it cannot cultivate a large-scale armed force. So each church has a large number of The non-staff personnel are used to deal with the endless extraordinary events.” Priest Carter explained.

　　 "Among these huge numbers of non-staff personnel, most of them are mercenaries among the transcendents. They will get information from the church, accept tasks and receive corresponding rewards."

"Of course, I will definitely not invite you to become this kind of lowest-level mercenary. After all, you grew up in the church, and you showed your position the last time you dealt with the Staff of Prosperity. As usual, you are a reliable person like you. You can avoid the test to become a non-staff operative of the Faith Department."

"As a non-staff operative of the Faculty of Faith, in addition to having all the resources of the mercenaries, they will also have the right to see some internal information and enjoy discounts on supplies, and get basic food at cost prices in the knowledge churches everywhere. Stay. In addition, you have the opportunity to prioritize task selection once a month, and you can select a task in advance from tasks that have never been announced in the public taskbar."

　　 "Are there any mandatory tasks or orders?" Lawrence asked his most worried question.

　　 "There are not many mandatory requirements, but in summary, there are only two." Priest Carter said. "One is that when encountering large-scale racial wars such as monster siege or evil creature riots, you must respond to the call and cooperate with the command of the local knowledge church. The other is not to conduct any actions against the knowledge church."

"As for the mandatory tasks or orders you mentioned, they are for the staff of the Faculty of Faith. At least in our knowledge church we pursue fairness in obtaining and paying, so only those who enjoy various resources and salaries in peacetime Editors need to perform various mandatory tasks"

　　 "That's right, then I'm very happy to be a non-staff operative of the Faculty of Faith." Lawrence nodded, and was taken to a room by High Priest Carter.

This room is located in an inconspicuous corner behind the main hall. There are no windows except a door. The whole room has the same style as the church as a whole. There is a table in the center of the room and a table on each side of the table. A lighted candle and an ink bottle with a pen.

　　 The only difference from other rooms is that this room has a huge bronze sacred emblem of the Church of Knowledge hanging on the wall facing the door. Lawrence could now feel the strong power hidden in the holy emblem. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　 "Well, we need to make a contract now." Entering the room, High Priest Carter took out a piece of parchment paper that is now almost unused from the only desk drawer in the room, and wrote something on it in blue ink.

　　 took the parchment, and Lawrence found that there were not many rules. That's what Priest Carter said just now, in addition to that, if you violate the contract, you will be punished directly by the church.

　　The rules are very simple, so it only took tens of seconds for Lawrence to read the entire contract. Then he picked up the water-dipped pen in the ink bottle on the table and scratched the waste paper next to him, and then signed his name at the bottom of the parchment.

　　 Watching Lawrence sign his name, Priest Carter took out some small tools from the drawer and melted a little wax on the candle, and then used a small silver seal to wax the rolled parchment paper.

　　 "Welcome to join us now." After putting the contract in the drawer, Priest Carter took out a small green notebook from the other drawer of the table, and then wrote something with a pen and handed it to Lawrence. "By the way, put this away."

　　 Lawrence took the opened notebook, and saw that it was written in the general Canter language:

　　 White Eagle Federation Eagle Fort Special City Police Agency licensed detective.

　　 Below this line is the name of Lawrence that was just written, and above it is the seal of the church and the seal of the city government and the city police agency.

"The police department, like us, lacked sufficient manpower, so they recruited some detectives as their downline. Extraordinary personnel of each church will have such certificates so that they can have a convenient identity when dealing with extraordinary events. "
