Struggle in the Steam Age

Like the previous few times, the four flowers on Jianmu Xuying represent two skills and two talents respectively. It's just that the four options this time seem to be more valuable than the other options except for the one that absorbed the Rod of Glory and Withering. What makes Lawrence even more fortunate is that none of the four options appeared to make people laugh or cry.

Two of the skills are eloquent tongue and hypnotism. Rasputin was able to change from an ordinary country rogue to the czar's most trusted minister by virtue of his persuasion ability and extraordinary hypnotism.

At least in history, the fact that he was able to cure the hemophilic crown prince of Tsarist Russia has already shown that he can not only persuade others with words, but also possesses some powers that others do not know, which is not surprising Yes, the explanation given by the flower is exactly the same.

The explanation given by the persuasion ability is that this is a persuasion skill that does not involve extraordinary power, but it may be able to achieve the effect similar to a first-level spell to charm humans.

The hypnosis comment is also very similar. It is mentioned above that this skill does not require extraordinary strength, but it can achieve the effect similar to the first-level spell hypnotism. More importantly, if Lawrence learns these two kinds of magic later, these two magics will be upgraded to a level equivalent to second-level magic.

After seeing the two little black flowers representing skills, Lawrence suppressed his eagerness to try and turned his attention to the little flowers representing talents. It turned out that these two talents were better than skills.

The first optional talent is extraordinary physique. Considering that this man ate 8 cakes mixed with potassium cyanide and drank a bottle of Madeira wine mixed with potassium cyanide. Then he was shot in the lungs, the bullet bruised the heart and stayed in the liver, was shot again in the head, and was hit several times with a dumbbell on the temple. In the end, he was thrown into the ice hole for eight minutes before being drowned, so you know how strong his physique is.

The second optional talent is soul strengthening, and this is one of the important reasons why Rasputin was able to fool so many people back then: he can confuse other people with his mental power and soul, which is much stronger than ordinary people, and let Others were subconsciously manipulated by him and obeyed his orders.

These four options are very good. Lawrence sighed softly, because he could only choose one of the four good options, so he sat on the ground in front of Jianmu Xuying and thought about it.

Okay, then I'll choose this. A few minutes later, Lawrence stood up and stared at a small black flower to express his consciousness. Soon the other three flowers withered, and a fruit wrapped in green mist fell into his hand.

Well— After this fruit was integrated into his body, Lawrence could feel a numbness in his brain, as if being gently pricked by many small needles, but this feeling faded away quickly. My mind suddenly became much clearer than before, just like drinking a cup of iced mint tea suddenly.

He chose the talent of soul strengthening, because soul strengthening is the most precious in any world. As for the other three options, Lawrence believed that he could use other methods from other places, and there was no need to occupy the precious reinforcement quota at this time.

After completing the strengthening and exiting the Jianmu space, Lawrence suddenly felt that the source of his magic power that had turned into a phantom of Bai Ze became active, as if it was about to change.

Are you going to advance? The knowledge in his blood made him aware of the changes in himself. This is very gratifying news, because it has only been a month since he became a warlock. You know, when he first awakened his bloodline, Lawrence was worried that he was not as good as other extraordinary people.

After all, when he became a warlock, Lawrence was not only not outstanding among his peers except for his blood, he was even considered weak among superhumans.

In this world where extraordinary power is manifested in the world, most extraordinary people learn this knowledge at a very young age, and people like Lawrence who only came into contact with extraordinary power at the age of 20 are actually a bit late. Especially for warlocks, they tend to awaken their bloodlines during puberty. From this point of view alone, Lawrence, who only awakened his blood at the age of 20, is actually far behind other peers.

Fortunately, the Bai Ze bloodline can strengthen itself by absorbing the souls of the monsters it kills, plus the foundation left by the previous several physical enhancements, and it is indeed easier for superhumans to upgrade at low levels. The combination of these circumstances also made Lawrence achieve the miracle of being promoted to a level in one month.

Of course, this is not the fastest record in the world. As far as Lawrence knows, there is a demigod druid in the Xinzhou Republic on the west of the Great Mountain Range who first came into contact with supernatural power when he was 14 years old, and then only half a year later, he became a person from the first contact. Became a master druid. And there are always a few cases of similar things every few years in this world.

Thinking of this, Lawrence shook his head to drive these enviable cases out of his mind, then sat cross-legged on the bed and entered into meditation. Soon, his consciousness entered his mind.

No, to be precise, at this time Lawrence's consciousness and the source of magic that turned into a phantom of Bai Ze merged into one. He could feel a huge force bursting out from the source of magic power and pouring into his body, flowing through every corner of his body. After circulating in the body for a week, these energies are poured into the source of magic power itself, causing the source of magic power to begin to transform.

Lawrence felt that the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes. He felt that everything in the surrounding space had disappeared, and only countless energies were hovering in the surrounding space like a breeze.

However, after further perception, he also found that among these energies, what he could perceive was only a weak part of them. Many powerful energies seemed to be separated from him by a barrier, and he could only vaguely know their existence. Can't reach it either.

At this time, Bai Ze's bloodline guides Lawrence's consciousness to continuously attack the barrier. Finally, when his power reached a critical point, he suddenly broke through the barrier and allowed his consciousness to explore the depths of the entire energy ocean.

After going deeper into the ocean of energy, Lawrence found that the energy he could perceive was stronger than before. Then his consciousness withdrew from Bai Ze phantom.

Spellcasters often produce some spell fluctuations when upgrading, which is very dangerous in the wild and may attract various dangerous creatures. But in St. Gutenberg's Cathedral you don't have to worry about such things.

However, such fluctuations in mana naturally cannot be hidden from the priests in the church. When Lawrence first started to upgrade, High Priest Arthur, who was on duty at the Faith Department today, felt this fluctuation.

Ha, the little guy Lawrence is growing up faster than I thought. But thinking about it, the tasks he has completed recently have already shown his current level, and it is expected that he will be promoted under such circumstances. High Priest Arthur said to Karen, the warlock in front of him, that Karen had finished his rest at this time, and was going to take his team to the South Sea of ​​Stars to perform a mission.

Yeah, it's a good thing for us to have such a new generation. Karen also showed a smile on his face. I look forward to the opportunity to go on missions with this newcomer soon.
