Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 Fifteen minutes later, Lawrence and Seyfir sat together in a luxurious tea room enjoying a sumptuous afternoon tea. And sitting across from a coffee table across from them was Madame Fontaine who changed into a long dress with lace hair ornaments.

During the whole afternoon tea, everyone chatted very happily, especially when Mrs. Fontaine knew that Lawrence had published a cover paper in the "Federal Medical Journal" and sent him an invitation, hoping that he would be able to meet with Syfiel when he was free. Get up to the party in Fontaine Manor.

During the afternoon tea chat, Lawrence took out the remaining He Hexiang and gave it to Mrs. Fontaine, because she expressed to Lawrence that she hoped that she would have some way to help her child recover as soon as possible, and now Lawrence's only way is to burn This extraordinary spice. Of course, Lawrence also believed that Madame Fontaine could pay him a good price for these things.

　　 When the afternoon tea was over, Lawrence and the others left the manor in the carriage in the manor. After they returned to their detective office, Syfiel went straight upstairs and called Fatina, who was practicing the use of tail knives, and then the three people sat in the living room and began to share the results of today’s commission. .

　　 Regarding transcendent items, according to the rules of distribution among transcendents, it belongs to the person who made the most contributions when looking for this item, and also to make up for other people who made contributions in the process. And now this book-enchanted notebook was obtained entirely by Lawrence with his own power, so it naturally belongs to Lawrence.

　　 After confirming the fate of the notebook, the next step is the distribution of money. When talking about this, Syfiel looked a little excited. "We made a lot of money this time. Really, I swear I have never taken so much money before."

　　 After speaking, she took out her wallet and opened it in front of everyone. Lawrence found a thick pile of green bills inside. These are ten-yuan banknotes issued by the White Eagle Federation. They have the national emblem of the Federation painted on the front, a bald eagle carrying the stars, and the backside is written with ten yuan.

　　 "This task was negotiated at the time it was 500 yuan." Saifei said that after taking the money out, it was divided into one more and one less two parts, and then the smaller part was pushed in front of Lawrence. "But in the end, the butler of the Fontaine family gave me 600 yuan. This 100 yuan is for buying your spices, so naturally it belongs to you."

　　 "And the remaining 500 yuan--" Saifei said and divided the 500 yuan on the table into two parts. "Half will be used as the public funds of the detective agency, and the other half will be allocated according to the contributions of the three of us in this commission. Lawrence will get 180 yuan, I will get 60 yuan, and Fatina will get 10 yuan."

　　 "Everyone has no opinion on my way of distribution." After dividing the money, Syfiel looked at Lawrence and asked them.

"I took 10 yuan without doing anything. Isn't it a bit too much?" Looking at the Qian Fatina allocated to her, she said with some embarrassment. After all, 10 yuan is equivalent to a month's monthly salary of an ordinary worker. .

"Not much." Lawrence stood up at this time and looked at Fatina and said, "Know that we are a team, so when the spoils are divided, every member who participated in the event should get the spoils. It’s everyone's decision if you don't go today, so if you stay and do nothing as required, you should get the trophy."

　　 After the trophy distribution is over. Lawrence returned to the room upstairs for magic research. The first thing after entering the door, he took out the previous book from his coat pocket.

　　 Following the magic rituals learned in a book in the St. Gutenberg Cathedral Library, Lawrence took out a small bottle of the essential oil distilled from the leaves of the flower of water and mixed it with pure silver powder and cypress leaf powder. When everything was mixed well, he poured the same amount of distilled water into the bottle.

After doing all this, Lawrence checked and confirmed that the liquid configuration was correct. He took out his mithril pen used for drawing runes from the waist space bag and dipped the liquid in the bottle on the edge of the table. A magic circle was drawn on a stone slab, and then the somewhat old notebook was placed in the middle of the magic circle.

　　 After everything was ready, Lawrence input a little magic power into the magic circle. Every line and every rune on the entire magic array was lit up by magic once and gave out a soft white light. When the entire magic circle was lit, Lawrence quickly took out a silver-plated knife and made a small cut on his left ring finger, and then dripped blood on the notebook.

　　 In an instant, all the light on the magic circle rushed to the notebook in the center of the magic circle, and its brightness made Lawrence squint his eyes. After the light faded, Lawrence immediately felt a faint connection between himself and the book charm in the book.

　　 After feeling that the magic contract was successfully signed, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Because in the library before, this book charm made it very clear that he wanted to become Lawrence's favorite, because it smelled something that made him very comfortable.

　　 Lawrence felt that it might be caused by the blood of Bai Ze in his body. As a symbol of wisdom, it is normal for the blood of Bai Ze to attract Shumei, a creature whose life is based on knowledge.

　　 For Shu Mei, it is also very fortunate to meet a suitable host alternative. Because creatures like them that are neither good at fighting, not good at hiding, but also demanding a high growth environment, grow very slowly on their own strength, and they are also very easy to die.

　　 So for creatures like them, finding a better owner to take them to upgrade quickly is a very good choice. After all, their life span is much longer than that of human beings, UU reading www.uukanshu. The time required for com to serve a person is a small part of their lives, and it is very worthwhile in their eyes to use such a period of insecurity in exchange for a great increase in level.

　　 As for individual masters can also have a long lifespan, it is not a bad thing for these monsters, because in such a world, lifespan is often linked to their strength. In the case of the best luck, even some demons successfully became a slave **** or a **** envoy after their master ignited a sacred fire and successfully ascended to the gods.

Naturally, those familiars who follow their masters and become gods or envoys are properly regarded as winners in life among intelligent transcendent creatures like Shumei. Every guy who is interested in holding the thighs of other intelligent creatures is looking forward to it. I will become the next one of them.

　　 "Okay, you can come out." After confirming that the contract was established, Lawrence entered a little magic power into the notebook, and he could feel that the book charm suddenly became active after the magic power entered the book. Fortunately, the magic power required by the book charm is not much, and it only needs a zero-level magic power in a week. "I have something to ask you."

"Master, can I help you?" As soon as Lawrence's voice fell, the chubby book charm floated out of the notebook and asked, "Now is the time when I feel most energetic in my 50 years. , The previous feeling of being able to maintain only a glimmer of life is really too bad."

　　 "I want to ask what abilities you have?" Lawrence said to the little guy in front of him. "After knowing your abilities, I will be able to get along well with you in the future."

　　 "My ability--" the ball said after spinning around Lawrence a few times, "My ability is not very good at fighting, but in other areas I have special talents——"
