Struggle in the Steam Age

"We can be said to be almost one, my dear brother. So you don't have to feel embarrassed about some things." Nora stood up from the window sill, walked to the edge of the desk and sat down, looking at the person sitting on the chair. Lawrence said. "But what I want to tell you is that this is a real world."

"I understand that this means that I have to bear the consequences of doing anything in this world. There is no such situation as in TV dramas or novels where I keep dying but can't die anyway." Lawrence held his hand in his right hand Chin with a thoughtful expression. "So, I need to be more cautious in what I do in the future. It's not like now that I just decide to run like a wild boar in many cases."

"You just need to understand." Nora said to Lawrence with her arms folded on her chest. "For example, this time, I think you've done a good job. Whether it's tracking down the cause of your uncle's mysterious death or destroying the magic jammer just now, you've done a good enough job on these things. As for other things, that would have been That's not what you're supposed to do."

Speaking of which, Nora walked to the edge of the table and sat down gracefully with her hands supporting herself. She hung her little feet wearing black leather shoes on the edge of the table, and then leaned against the desk with a box and adjusted a comfortable posture. Looking at Lawrence's thoughtful face, he said, "You don't think you can beat those three legendary-level transcendents, do you?"

"Of course I don't think so." After hearing Nora's teasing words, Laurence immediately shook his head and said that he was definitely not a fool with such thoughts. "I think at my current level, let alone fighting them in front of such advanced transcendental beings, it would be a miraculous thing to be able to escape."

"You're right to think so." Nora nodded and said. "So now think about it, you have done a very good job in this matter, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"You're right, I really should be satisfied with the current situation." Lawrence said as he stretched out his hand to stroke Nora's hair. Her hair was as smooth as fine satin, and it felt very good to the touch. .

The little puppet Nora also liked Lawrence's way of touching her head, so when Lawrence reached out her hand, she took the initiative to bring her little head closer, and then narrowed her eyes slightly.

This harmonious scene only lasted for less than a minute, and Nora suddenly opened her eyes again and said: "By the way, I think the work you have done to put down the rebellion this time may be more important than you imagined. Because at the end of the siege of the Duke’s Mansion just now, I found that there were many rebels wearing various costumes and speaking accents from different places in that house, resisting to the death. But they are obviously just good at fighting, and they are not suitable for Combat collectively."

"You're saying that the other party's rebellion was hasty this time, so that a group of mobs had to be used to take over temporarily." After hearing Nora's words, Lawrence immediately understood what Nora observed behind these phenomena.

After all, except for some brain-dead action plans like rushing directly into the presidential palace with dozens of people to kill the president, most of the rebellions have detailed plans and firm execution groups. For example, air transport troops, or those infantry troops who shouted to respect the emperor and beg for rape.

So a situation like this second prince's rebellion with a group of garbage guards and a group of even more garbage ragtags seems very wrong. Especially from what he did before, it can be seen that he is not an idiot, unlike the kind of idiot who ran to rebel with hundreds of servants as soon as he got angry, and was stabbed to death by a passerby in the end.

Therefore, the second prince sent troops in such a hurry this time, probably because the evidence that Lawrence had searched before made his conspiracy behind his back likely to be exposed, so that he had to fight in this basically unprepared situation. Do your best to fight to the death.

"That is to say, I still played a very important role in this rebellion." Lawrence shrugged his shoulders in understanding, "It seems that I can also be regarded as the protagonist, but it should not be those best-selling film and television works or literary works. The protagonist. After all, I didn't fight the second prince or some legendary enemy for 300 rounds in the end."

"But you are at least alive now, and you can expect to get a lot of benefits this time." Nora said, "This is already very good for you, a warlock who is only now at the official level."

As Nora said, from the perspective of ordinary people, Lawrence made a huge contribution in the process of discovering and quelling the second prince's rebellion, so the rewards will definitely not be less after the rebellion is quelled.

With this in mind, Lawrence lay in bed for a few minutes at night before entering a meditative state. After entering the meditation state, he found that the phantom of Bai Ze in his mind was a little different from the previous state of meditation.

After meditating for an hour according to the normal habit, Bai Ze Xuying did not stop purifying and absorbing the various energies around him as usual, but instead increased the absorption of the surrounding energies.

This change in energy caught the attention of the referee. Fortunately, after confirming that this should be caused by someone's magic power change during the upgrade, they directly emptied the left and right sides of Lawrence's room in order to prevent someone from entering the room and disturbing his upgrade process. the occupants of those two rooms.

Of course, this is also a practice of these extraordinary organizations. After all, everyone is a transcendent, so they naturally know what kind of environment the transcendent needs in this situation.

Of course, Lawrence didn't know these things. He is now fully committed to the upgrade process. Thinking about the many adventures and battles he has encountered since the last upgrade, Lawrence feels that it is very natural for him to upgrade now.

"Although it's only been three or four months since I mastered extraordinary power, the things I encountered may be the sum of the things that ordinary extraordinary people encounter in five or six years. So it is reasonable to upgrade faster .” Lawrence was a little surprised when he found out that his Extraordinary level was about to increase again, but soon he was relieved.

Probably because of the effect of the silver body obtained in the previous game, Lawrence felt that this upgrade was much smoother than the previous few times, and he didn't feel any obstacles. As if the fruits of the fruit are ripe, after the strength reaches a limit, it naturally rises to the extraordinary level.

There is a big difference between the ancient people's classification of superhumans and the contemporary one. One of them is that this level of ancient superhumans is equivalent to the two modern levels. And the reason for this division is probably because in the modern supernatural level division in this world, every two levels of supernatural beings will have an important change in the whole.

Since this upgrade is not the kind of large-scale extraordinary level increase that makes people change dramatically, Lawrence found that his changes after this upgrade did not have the same huge changes as after the last level upgrade.

For example, after this upgrade, Bai Ze's phantom just looks bigger and more condensed than before. At the same time, the magic reserve in the body, physical fitness and the five senses of the human body have all been strengthened to a certain extent.

After briefly checking these situations, Lawrence entered the meditation state again and prepared to re-select his magic list as a warlock. After all, he has experienced too many things from the last time he was promoted to the extraordinary level, so he urgently needs to rearrange himself. list of spells.

On the one hand, this is related to the changes in Lawrence's own power control, and on the other hand, it is because he has consulted a lot of information before and has a new understanding of magic combat after actually watching the combat methods of advanced spellcasters. idea. Therefore, I feel that I should take advantage of this time to rearrange my spell list.
