Struggle in the Steam Age

After discovering that Lawrence was unconscious, High Priest Arthur hurried to his side in three steps at a time. Afterwards, he nervously checked with divine magic.

"How about the little guy?" The leader of the witcher came over with two long swords of different styles on his back. "If it weren't for him, we would definitely have suffered heavy losses this time. By the way, his brave spirit this time is very much in line with the spirit of our demon hunters. The few of us owe him a favor. If he is willing, our demon hunter guild Willing to contribute resources to help him become a witcher."

"Ah, he just passed out because of too much consumption at one time. As long as you give him some supernatural potions after you go back, the loss will be easily remedied." After the blue light from the magic spell in his hand dissipated, Arthur The priest smiled. "And, Geralt. The boy should be a scholar, a great scholar. Not a rough man like you."

"Scholar? A scholar who uses chains to smash books at people like meteor hammers?" the leader of the witcher called Geralt said with a smile. "Let's talk about it after he wakes up. After all, the choice is in the hands of this child. It's useless for the two of us to talk. By the way, let's get out of here quickly. Now the cave is filled with the stench of demons, it is really not suitable for the wounded Let's stay on."

"You're right." High Priest Arthur nodded, and then left the cave with everyone present and walked towards the sewer together. Because of manpower problems, they could only leave the monster's body in place.

As soon as they left the exit of the ruins, they met the reinforcements behind: a support force composed of seven or eight elites headed by the Scepter Priest of the Northeast Diocese of the Church of Knowledge.

"It seems that we came a little late." The scepter priest with a long beard said after seeing Arthur and the others, and then he looked over Arthur's shoulder at the wounded behind. "Hurry up and go back to treat the wounded. Use the carriage we were riding in when we came, and we will handle the rest of the work."

"Thank you, sir." High Priest Arthur bowed slightly. Afterwards, they took Lawrence and the wounded back to St. Gutenberg Cathedral.

But Lawrence, who was in a coma, didn't know about it, because after the coma, he appeared in the Jianmu space in the form of a soul body.

"It seems that Jianmu looks a little more solid." The first time he entered the space, Lawrence felt the changes in the entire space. "And the surrounding white mist seems to have receded a bit, making this space a lot bigger."

After briefly scanning the changes around him, Lawrence cast his gaze on the mirror. He very much expected that such a powerful magic item would bring him an unexpected surprise.

Appearing in the mist was a thin figure with black-rimmed glasses with round lenses and a black robe. A clergyman with a cross on his chest.

"Am I going to try to become a clergyman in the future?" Lawrence was a little confused when he saw the portrait, so he moved his gaze down a little, and a familiar name came into his eyes. "Gregor Mendel"

"He should be the great Austrian imperial biologist, Mendel, the founder of genetics." The knowledge that he saw when he was studying biology appeared in Lawrence's mind. As long as you read the textbook, no one will miss such an important knowledge point as Mendel's pea experiment.

After figuring out who it was this time, Lawrence frowned slightly. Because he doesn't know what such a scientist can bring to himself in this extraordinary world.

"But let's take a look first. Jianmu that can communicate the two worlds is definitely not that simple." Lawrence comforted himself and looked at the four black flowers hanging on the tree.

The four flowers on the tree represent two skills and two talents as before, two of which are master mathematics and master philosophy. These things are the embodiment of the knowledge Mendel learned in college.

The other two talents are divine gifts and genetic tracing, which represent the experience of Mendelian priesthood and the great contribution of genetics.

Sure enough, Jianmu, who can communicate with the gods of heaven, earth and man in mythology, is not as simple as Lawrence imagined. The things contained in these four flowers mean that Jianmu can optimize and change various knowledge from the earth according to the world where Lawrence lives, so that they can adapt to this world.

Carefully looking at the four little flowers that Jianmu gave after absorbing the Rod of Rise and Wither, Lawrence found that these actually pointed out three different extraordinary paths for himself to become a mage.

Two of these skills can greatly improve his own intelligence, laying the foundation for him to become a mage. After all, intelligence is the core premise requirement for becoming a mage in this world, and another key premise requirement is that elemental affinity ability can be complemented by external force.

However, according to the previous test conducted by Lawrence's adoptive father, in addition to his intelligence level at that time, he could become a mage apprentice at most, and his elemental affinity was also very average. Relying on your own efforts, the silver mage is the upper limit.

Of course, that doesn't mean he can't get stronger. As just said, the elemental affinity ability can be supplemented with the help of foreign objects. It's just that neither the large amount of magic experiments nor the cost of using precious potions for adjustments can be afforded by ordinary people.

At the same time, if the affinity of the elements is not high, whether it is learning, research or magic experiments, it will take more resources and energy than others. Lawrence is not a rich second generation, nor is he a top aristocrat. So choosing the path of mage is not very suitable for him now.

Of course, with the space for building wood, he might be able to acquire the talent to improve his elemental affinity someday. But the crux of the problem is that the talents given by Jianmu Space are random, and Lawrence felt that the risk of taking this bet was too great.

After finishing the analysis of the two skills, Lawrence focused on those two talents. As the name suggests, the gift of God's gift is to make it easier for Lawrence to gain the favor of the gods. This is a perfect gift for the personnel of various churches.

But the current Lawrence's attitude towards the gods is adhering to the practical spirit of his previous life. He does believe in the God of Knowledge, but this kind of belief is at most the level of a shallow believer. It is impossible and unwilling to serve the gods wholeheartedly. It is even less likely to become a priest. So this talent is naturally put aside for the time being.

After ruling out three options, Lawrence set his sights on the last genetic retrospective talent. Because according to the series of analyzes just now, this talent is more suitable for him than the other three from all angles.
