Struggle in the Steam Age

According to the location detected just now, Lawrence descended the creaky wooden stairs to the first floor, and then passed through a dim corridor to the door of the room closest to the outer wall.

"This is too dirty." Lawrence frowned when he arrived at the destination. He found that the wooden door in front of him was greasy and dirty, with thick dust accumulated in the cracks of the door, and some dusty spider webs. Stick it on top. It looked like this door had not been opened for a long time.

Enduring the nausea inside, Lawrence kicked the door in front of him with his foot. Unexpectedly, the hinge of the door had been completely rusted because it was useless for a long time, so the whole door fell into the room after one step.

"Dang." A lot of dust was stirred up after the door fell to the ground. Lawrence hurriedly avoided the dust gushing out of the room. Because the whole room was not ventilated, it took five or six minutes for the dust in the room to fall on the ground. At this time, he walked to the door and used the light outside to see the situation in the room.

This room seemed to be a storage room. There were several empty wooden shelves in the room. One of the legs of one shelf was damaged by bugs or mice, and it fell to the ground. Otherwise, the whole house was empty, with nothing but dust on the floor.

"It feels like no one has come to this place for a long time. Who will put things here?" Lawrence thought about releasing the [Detection Magic] magic once again.

In an instant, a dim magical aura appeared on the dusty clearing. After seeing the light, Lawrence quickly walked a few steps to the front of it, and then used his feet to remove the thick dust covering the ground.

Under the dust is a floor made of red tiles, but Lawrence did not notice any difference between the shiny floor and the surrounding floors.

"Are you going to dig it down?" Lawrence thought about unloading a piece of wood from the fallen shelf next to it, and then began to pry up the bricks in the place where the magical aura had just appeared.

He first pried open the bricks on the ground, then knelt on the ground and began to use the thin wooden planks on the broken shelf as a shovel to clean the layer of cinder under the bricks to prevent moisture.

After more than an hour, Lawrence looked at the dug up raw soil and sat on the ground regardless of the surrounding dust. After cleaning up the cinder, he opened a hole the size of a washbasin in the rammed earth layer mixed with lime below. As a result, nothing suspicious was found until the raw soil layer was dug.

"Where is that thing?" After a few minutes of rest, Lawrence released another [Detection Magic] to the ground. As a result, I was surprised to find that the magical aura that was still here just now disappeared.

"Is it some kind of extraordinary creature that I just found?" Lawrence frowned. "But if it is a living thing, it should leave a trace in the room, but when I just came in, I noticed that there was no trace in the room."

"Let's look for it, maybe that guy hasn't run far yet." Thinking of this, he stood up and patted the dust on his body, and then tried to use [Detect Magic] to explore the magical reaction around him. As a result, when the magic range spread to the pile of construction waste that was just dug out, a magical aura appeared again.

"Huh?" Lawrence immediately walked to the pile of construction rubbish, only to find that the magical aura was an ordinary red brick that had just been laid on the ground. If there is any difference, I can only say that there is a strange crack on the brick.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Lawrence held the brick in front of his eyes curiously, and found that this brick was no different from ordinary bricks. If you insist, you can only say that the surface of this brick is not as good as other bricks. Complete, a few cracks appeared on the top.

Because I couldn't see anything in the dim storage room, and the dust that had been stirred up in the room made me feel a little breathless. So Lawrence took the brick and walked into the corridor, and then carefully checked the brick with a little bit of sunlight coming through the gaps in the corridor windows.

"Hey, what is this?" When he looked at the sunlight in the window, he found that when he put the brick to a certain angle, a little golden light flickered in the crack of the brick. "Gold jewelry or--"

Thinking of this, Lawrence slammed the brick against the windowsill forcefully. As the brick smashed into two pieces, he finally discovered the mystery inside.

The thing in his hand is not an ordinary brick at all. Instead, it was made of cement into the shape of a brick and painted with a layer of red paint, but the craftsmanship of the person who made this cement brick was so good that Lawrence hadn't noticed that the brick was wrong just now.

The luminous spot just now was also found: on the cross section of the cement brick, an ellipsoidal lead block was embedded there, like a squashed gray egg. The golden light he saw just now was leaking from a crack in the lead block.

Prying open the lead block with a knife along the crack, Lawrence found that the lead block was hollow, with a golden pendant inside, which was a little bigger than a coin.

After pouring out the pendant, Lawrence found that the pattern on the pendant was an embossed skull. The top is inlaid with red chalcedony and rubies. UU reading www.uukanshu. com may be because of the magic on this pendant, or it may be because it is so exquisitely made, making this very pocket-sized pendant give people a feeling that the skull is floating up from a sea of ​​blood.

Lawrence suddenly realized that it must be the most precious thing in this house. Being able to get its owner to spend so much effort to wrap it in lead and then put it in cement bricks is a good indication of how much the owner of this pendant attaches to it.

It’s just beyond the expectations of the people who hid this thing back then that modern cement will have some cracks after being left for a long time. As a result, there will also be cracks in the lead skin inside. This allows Lawrence to discover one through [Detection Magic] The presence of pendants.

[Appraisal Technique] Lawrence released a magic that had been mutated due to Bai Ze's bloodline to this pendant, and a message appeared in his mind in an instant.

[A magic key related to the Scarlet Sky Church. Even with the blessing of Bai Ze's bloodline, Lawrence only got an inexplicable message.

"Hey, is this also related to the Scarlet Sky Church?" Lawrence thought about re-packing the pendant with that piece of lead. After all, this building belonged to the ancestor of the monster woman who turned into a monster. Maybe his ancestor was the important part of Scarlet Sky. People, they hid such important things in order to avoid something.

Lawrence put away the pendant after wrapping it in lead. He felt that this thing was likely to be the key to entering a church stronghold in the Scarlet Sky. And now he just has a map of those strongholds in his hand, maybe he will be able to use this thing in the future.

After packing up the spoils, Lawrence prepared to return to the same place to evacuate. As he walked upstairs, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the stairwell on the first floor.
