Struggle in the Steam Age

After dealing with the items in the space bracelet, Lawrence then began to search for other places. But it's a pity that after taking away the space bracelet, the mage of the blood-red sky has nothing else of value on him.

Originally, Lawrence wanted to find the mage's spell book, but after using [Detect Magic] to check it carefully, Lawrence could only look at the spell book on the copper chain of the mage's bone belt, which was burnt and only had a spine left. Showed a wry smile.

Although I don't know why the flames are only limited to this layer, but because of the fire, Lawrence's harvest has been greatly reduced.

For example, the steel chain mail on the demon hunter's body, which is mixed with a part of silver by secret methods, has a good anti-oxidation ability. If there is no problem, it will not rust after decades of storage. Take it out and sell it. Two or three hundred yuan is definitely not a problem. But now the burned chain mail can only be sold as scrap iron by the pound.

The other things were similar. In the end, Lawrence could barely find five or six gemstones of different sizes, the largest of which were the size of soybeans, plus a little more than an ounce of scattered gold.

Of course, there are things that are not destroyed by the fire, such as the magic sword among the two swords on the back of the witcher. It may be that the blade has added cold iron and chosen a frost-related enchantment. Although the sword has lost all its magic power, it still remains intact.

In view of the good relationship between the demon hunters and the Church of Knowledge and the reputation of the demon hunters, Lawrence intends to return the sword to the demon hunters guild. Anyway, for him, he was not a spellcaster like Gandalf, so instead of selling this thing that he didn't need for a not necessarily high price, he might as well use it to establish a good relationship with those demon hunters.

In addition to the sword, Lawrence also found something similar to a finger wrench. Apart from a slightly strange coat of arms engraved on it, there were also some words engraved on it. This was found next to the remains of a ratman, and Lawrence recognized it as a unique decoration for ratmen, a tail hoop.

After checking the text, Lawrence found that this item probably had to be given away for nothing. Because that line of text is engraved with a name, and the surname at the end of the name is Androk. Knowing that Fatina was also surnamed Androk, he felt that the skeleton was probably a relative of Fatina.

After spending more than half an hour, Lawrence finally cleaned this floor carefully. He even took a little risk to climb up the plank road on the upper floor that was basically charred and searched. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, it was impossible to find wealth out of nothing.

It seems that the mage of Scarlet Sky didn't hide in this place for long before being found by the team led by the demon hunter, so everything in the whole building seemed very simple. Naturally, not much has accumulated.

But in the upper half of the third floor, Lawrence found a crude map engraved on the wall. After carefully looking around with the lantern, he found another exit from this space.

"Okay, let's go back." After putting the witcher's long sword and the rat man's tail band into the space bracelet, Lawrence raised the lantern in his hand and took a last look at the bones all over the ground, then walked down gently stairs.

After leaving the building, Lawrence stood at the entrance of the cave just now and looked at the opposite side of the cave. According to the simple map engraved on the wall, there is also a magic-covered exit over there, and the tunnel over there can lead directly to the Liujin River.

Soon Lawrence returned to the entrance of the mine, and then went to the agreed place to look for the coachman. Because it was past one o'clock in the morning, when he found the driver, the driver was dozing off in the carriage.

"Ah, sir, have you finished dealing with the matter?" After knocking lightly on the door, the coachman immediately woke up with a jolt. "You moved much faster than I thought. I thought I wouldn't see you until tomorrow morning."

"I'm lucky today." Lawrence shrugged when the coachman opened the door and walked out of the carriage. "I'm sorry to make you walk at night at this time, but I need to trouble you to send me to the back door of St. Gutenberg Cathedral."

"No problem, sir." After climbing out of the carriage, the driver poured some cold water from the jug beside him and sprinkled it on his face, then took his seat and pulled the reins. "You paid a lot of travel expenses tonight. I don't need to sleep for this money."

After Lawrence sat down in the carriage, the coachman swung the whip in his hand and slapped it in the air. The two horses pulling the cart started to run immediately after receiving the signal.

When he went back, Lawrence only took half of the time he had come here, because it was already very late. After entering the urban area, Lawrence even found that the carriage he was sitting in was the only one running on the entire street.

"Sir, we've arrived." The carriage stopped just as Lawrence was drowsy, and then the coachman turned his head and said to Lawrence. "This is your destination, the path at the back door of St. Gutenberg's Cathedral. There are several stone pillars on the road ahead, and the church does not allow vehicles to pass through there."

"Thank you, it's fine here. You can go now, you have done what I need you to do tonight." When getting out of the car, Lawrence lightly raised the brim of his hat with his left hand, bid farewell to the coachman, and walked towards the back door of the church go.

When walking along the cobblestone path to the back door of the cathedral, most of the lights in the cathedral have been extinguished, only a few whale oil street lamps fixed on the building for lighting are still shining dimly.

"Oh, these oil lamps are really too dark." Lawrence muttered, looking at the situation in the backyard of the cathedral through the small black iron gate, "someone will always propose to replace these lamps with the latest gas lamps, but every time the discussion comes When talking about these lamps, everyone would always say that the oil lamps are enough now, and it would be great if the money was used to buy more teaching aids for the schools affiliated to the church. The blackboards and desks of any school should also be repaired, but every time Can't change it."

"Who is it?" Just after Lawrence pulled a thin iron chain disguised as a wall decoration, a man came out of the porter holding an oil lamp and asked while rubbing his eyes. "It's so late, who is outside?"

"Peter, it's me." By the light of the oil lamp, Lawrence quickly saw who it was. "Help me open the door, I have something urgent to go to the Faith Department."

"Did something happen?" As soon as he heard the words from the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine, Peter immediately became sober. Then he quickly walked to the iron gate and helped Lawrence open it. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Lawrence nodded with a smile. "But tonight I made an important discovery in the suburbs, and I must report it to the church as quickly as possible."

"So that's the case." With a bang, the iron door was opened. Peter took the oil lamp and walked to the front to help Lawrence illuminate the road under his feet, and at the same time said to him, "I looked at the duty list for tonight, and the one on duty at the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine should be High Priest Peter."

"That's great." Lawrence said happily after hearing Peter's words, because he knew that the secrecy level of things related to the Scarlet Sky should not be low. If High Priest Arthur was on duty below, there would be a lot less time to explain. thing.

"Okay, I'll take you here, and I wish you all the best." Peter said to Lawrence after he came to the back door of the main hall of the cathedral and helped Lawrence knock on the oak door. "It's time for me to go back to work."

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best tonight." Lawrence waved goodbye to Peter, and then walked into the depths of the cathedral.
