Struggle in the Steam Age

Just as the police were pulling the cordon, members of the Church of Knowledge closest to here rushed over. The leader was a priest whom Lawrence had never seen before, but from the badge on his chest, Lawrence was sure that they were Faith Ministry of Operations Team members.

Sorry, we are late. Because we just felt the magic wave here. The leading priest saluted Sheriff Frank and said, By the way, who can tell us what happened in this place? thing?

The situation is like this— After showing his ID, Lawrence described what happened just now. Finally, he handed the notebook with the treasure map out of it to the priest in front of him.

Looks like another guy who went astray after accidentally getting something strange. After flipping through the notebook, the leading priest shook his head, and then said to Lawrence, who was cleaning the blood on his face, and everyone present . Every year there are people like this who think they have a great opportunity. But in fact they just fall into the trap of those evil guys.

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

After a thorough search of the police station, they were thankful that no one was killed in the incident. It's just that several policemen were drained of some of their life force by the monster just now, and they probably will lie down in the hospital for a month or two.

Obviously, the unlucky lady believed the method in the notebook she found out of jealousy. Then she turned herself into a demonized snake man through killing and offering sacrifices. After the investigation in the police station, the leader The priest began to reconstruct what happened before here based on the confessions asked from the parties and the traces observed at the scene.

After the change, she was completely manipulated by another evil consciousness and used charm magic to lure several policemen 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 shielding magic circles. That's why we haven't found out that this place is wrong before.

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

Having said that, he turned to look at Lawrence. Of course, this is also thanks to you. If you didn't find out what was wrong and stop it in time, the breath of the lower plane would pollute a large number of people, and it would be a big trouble to deal with it at that time. After returning to the church, I will make what you did today. Report the contribution to the church truthfully.”

Lawrence nodded. Even though this is a world full of supernatural beings, most of the people in the world are just ordinary people. The way to deal with Chaofan in a small police station like this with only a dozen people is naturally very crude, and it is also very easy to be targeted by people, so sometimes various problems are inevitable.

After finishing the investigation and decontaminating the police station, Lawrence said hello to Sergeant Frank who was busy directing the police to clean up the scene, and then returned to St. Gutenberg Cathedral with the action team.

Sergeant Frank felt a little regretful, after all, it was really bad that such a thing happened while eating for the first time. However, he also made an appointment with Lawrence that he would invite Lawrence to have a good meal again when he was free.

The first thing Lawrence did after returning to St. Gutenberg Cathedral with the action team was to submit an action report to the Ministry of Faith. Since the action team just went to clean up the mess today, they went in and just talked about it. And the reporting task of the key part naturally fell on the head of Lawrence, the main force of action.

After entering the office of the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine, he simply stood under the bronze holy emblem on the roof and enjoyed a full-body spiritual examination. Afterwards, the reviewer reported what he had encountered today.

You did a good job, young man. The grey-haired old woman priest showed a kind smile after hearing Lawrence's report. It's rare for me to see a newcomer who can independently kill a monster that is one level higher than yourself in the first mission after joining the job like you.

A higher level? Lawrence opened his eyes wide in surprise. I always thought that fighting so hard was because I was a rookie and not very good at fighting.

No, no, adult demonized snake people are all official-level monsters. The female priest in front of him said, Fortunately, the one you met was just polluted by ordinary humans and mutated, and its overall strength has dropped. Level 1. In addition, the demonized snake man who has just transformed will be in confusion for a period of time. But even so, her overall strength is still one level higher than yours.

It seems that I am indeed lucky enough, or unlucky enough. Sitting on the chair, Lawrence thought that he has faced enemies stronger than himself twice in a row recently, although he has won both actions And got a lot of benefits from it, but he still sincerely hopes that such a thing will not happen again.

By the way, this action of yours represents the Church of Knowledge. So we will give you the reward you deserve after all the calculations are done tomorrow. Seeing that Lawrence seemed to be thinking about something, the priest broke the silence. Now you can go to the cafeteria to have a meal and then sleep in. According to my experience, a newcomer like you usually needs to relax after completing the mission for the first time.

After thanking the priest who was exuding motherhood, Lawrence left the office. After going out, he went to the cafeteria to order a supper. Normally, Lawrence couldn't eat the late-night snacks in the cafeteria, that's because these late-night snacks were free and only served to those who returned from missions.

After eating two French bread stuffed with roast beef and other fillings, Lawrence returned to his room to wash up, then went to bed and sat cross-legged to meditate.

After becoming a Bai Ze warlock, Lauren naturally obtained a set of Bai Ze's meditation methods buried in the blood lineage. It's just because this kind of meditation idea is not let him know through memory instillation, but it runs automatically after he falls asleep. So until today, when he confirmed that he had almost memorized the operation rules of this meditation idea, he tried to actively meditate.

As soon as the thought moved, Lawrence's consciousness was immersed in his mind. In his line of sight, the phantom of Bai Ze floated in his mind, raised his head and flew in a mysterious trajectory.

As the phantom flew, various light spots quickly gathered from the sea of ​​consciousness and were swallowed by Bai Ze phantom. After these light spots entered Bai Ze's phantom, they began to shatter and recombine, until finally they turned into white light spots of uniform size and shape and merged into Bai Ze's phantom.

After each point of light merged into the magic source of the ready-made Bai Ze phantom, Lawrence would feel a little stronger. After observing carefully for a while again, Lawrence began to apply his will to Bai Ze phantom.

Infused with will, the flying speed of Bai Ze phantom was much faster, and the speed of absorbing and transforming light spots was also improved at the same time. According to Lawrence's analysis, if you practice actively, your growth rate will increase by about half in the same period of time.

According to previous observations, after practicing for about an hour, there will be a feeling of swelling in the mind, and at this time, the meditation will automatically stop.

It was the same today, after resting for an hour, that feeling reappeared, and Lawrence found that no matter how he pushed Bai Zexuying, there would no longer be any light spots coming in from the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

It seems that this is the only thing we can do now. Lawrence thought about stopping his meditation, then adjusted his posture and lay down under the quilt. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
