Struggle in the Steam Age

Just as the police were pulling the cordon, members of the nearest Church of Knowledge rushed over. The leader was a priest Lawrence had never seen before, but Lawrence confirmed that they were Faithfulness from the badge on his chest. Member of the Ministry of Action Squad.

"Sorry, we are late. Because we just felt the magic wave here." The leading priest said after paying a salute to Chief Frank, "By the way, who can tell us what happened in this place? thing?"

　　 "This is the situation—" After showing his credentials, Lawrence described what had just happened. Finally he handed the notebook with the treasure map to the priest in front of him.

"It seems that he is another guy who went astray after accidentally getting something strange." After flipping through the notebook, the leader of the priest shook his head, and then said to Lawrence who was clearing the blood on his face and everyone present. . "Every year there will be people like this who think they have a great opportunity. But in fact they just fall into the trap of those evil guys."

After 　　 dealt with the monster corpse outside, the sky became completely dark. Lawrence temporarily joined the team of the Church of Knowledge and walked into the police station.

　　 After a thorough search of the police station, they were fortunate to find that no one was killed in this incident. It's just that several policemen have been robbed of a part of their vitality by the monster just now, and it is estimated that they will have to lie down in the hospital for a month or two.

"Obviously, out of jealousy, the hapless lady believed the method she found in the notebook. Then she turned into a demonized snake man through killing and sacrifice." After the investigation in the police station, the leader The priest began to recover what happened here based on the confession asked from the client and the traces of the scene observed.

"After the change, she was completely manipulated by another evil consciousness to use charm magic to lure several police officers to cut off the connection between the holy emblem placed in the police station and the outside world. Then it manipulated the police to arrange some shielded magic arrays. This is why we haven't found this place wrong before."

　　 "Fortunately, although this incident involves the lower space. Fortunately, no one was killed because of this." The leading priest concluded, "Such a result is very lucky in this type of incident."

　　 Having said that, he turned his head to look at Lawrence. "Of course, this is also thanks to you. If you didn't find it in time and stop it, the breath of the lower planes would pollute a large number of people, and then it would be troublesome to deal with it. I will do it today when I return to the church. His contribution is truthfully reported to the church."

　　 Lawrence nodded. Even if this is a world full of extraordinary things, most people in the world are just ordinary people. The way to deal with the extraordinary in a small police station with only a dozen people like this is naturally very simple, and it is also very easy to be targeted and destroyed, so sometimes various problems are inevitable.

　　 After completing the investigation and cleaning up the police station, Lawrence greeted Inspector Frank, who was busy directing the police to clean up the scene, and then returned to St. Gutenberg Cathedral with the action team.

　　 Sheriff Frank felt a bit regretful, after all, it was really bad that something like this happened the first time I ate. However, he also made an appointment with Lawrence to invite Lawrence to have a good meal again when he was busy.

　　 The first thing Lawrence did after returning to the Cathedral of St. Gutenberg with the action team was to submit an action report to the Faith Department. Since the action team was just going to clean up the endgame, they just went in and talked briefly. The key part of the reporting task naturally fell on Lawrence, the main force of action.

　　 After entering the office of the Faith Department, he first simply stood under the holy emblem cast in bronze on the roof and enjoyed a full-body magic check. Afterwards, the reviewer reported what happened to him today.

　　 "Good job, young man." The gray-haired grandma priest gave a kind smile after hearing Lawrence's report. "I rarely see a newcomer who has just joined the company who can independently kill a monster that is one level higher than his own on the first mission like you."

　　 "Higher level?" Lawrence widened his eyes in surprise. "I always thought that fighting so hard was because I was a rookie and I wasn't very good at fighting."

"No, no, no, grown-up demonized snake people are all official-level monsters." The priestess in front of him said, "Fortunately, the one you encountered was just mutated after being contaminated by ordinary humans, and the overall strength has dropped. Level one. In addition, the demonized snake man who has just transformed will be in confusion for a while. But even so, her overall strength is still one level higher than yours."

"It seems that I am indeed lucky enough, or unfortunate enough." Lawrence sitting in the chair thought that recently he has faced enemies stronger than himself twice in a row, although he has won victory in both actions. He has gained a lot of benefits from it, but he sincerely hopes that such a thing will not happen again.

　　 "By the way, because your action represents the Church of Knowledge. So tomorrow, after all the calculations are completed, we will give you the reward you deserve." Seeing Lawrence as if thinking something, the priest broke the silence. "Now you can go to the cafeteria for a meal and then take a nap. According to my experience, newcomers like you generally need to relax after the first task."

　　 After thanking the priest who exuded motherhood, Lawrence left the office. After going out, he went to the cafeteria and ordered a supper. Lawrence usually can't eat the supper in the cafeteria, because these supper are free and only for those who return from the mission.

　　 After eating two baguettes filled with roast beef and various fillings, Lawrence returned to his room to wash, then went to bed and sat cross-legged to meditate.

　　After becoming a Shiraz warlock ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Lauren naturally obtained a set of meditations belonging to Shiraz buried in the blood line. It's just because this kind of meditation was not taught to him through memory, but automatically operated after he fell asleep. So until today, after confirming that he had almost memorized the movement of this meditation thought, he tried to meditate actively.

　　As soon as he thought, Lawrence's consciousness was immersed in his mind. In his line of sight, the phantom of Bai Ze floated above the sea of ​​mind, raising his head and flying in a mysterious trajectory.

　　 As the phantom flew, the light spots of various colors quickly gathered from the foreign exchange of the sea of ​​consciousness and were swallowed by the phantom Baize. After these light spots entered the phantom of Baize, they began to shatter and reorganize, until finally they became white spots of uniform size and shape into the phantom of Baize.

　　 After every point of light is integrated into the source of magical power with the ready-made white shadow, Lawrence will feel that he is stronger. After observing it carefully for a while, Lawrence began to apply his will to Bai Ze Phantom.

　　The speed of the Baize phantom, which was filled with will, was suddenly much faster, and the speed of absorbing and transforming light spots was also improved. According to Lawrence's analysis, if you take the initiative to practice, your growth rate will increase by about half in the same time.

　　According to previous observations, a bulging sensation will appear in the mind after the practice for about an hour, and the meditation will automatically stop at this time.

　　 The same is true today. After an hour of rest, the feeling reappeared. Lawrence found that no matter how he urged Bai Ze Xuying, there would be no more light to come in from overseas.

　　 "It seems that we can only do this step now." Lawrence thought, stopped meditating and adjusted his posture and lay in the bed. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
