Struggle in the Steam Age

After Lawrence's warlock level changed from the official level to the professional level, the biggest gain was that he could automatically obtain more spells from the bloodline inheritance and replace those spells he had chosen that he didn't need.

After thinking about it, Lawrence began to focus on the runes representing blood magic around the phantoms of Bai Ze and prepared to replace them. Since the Goddess of Agriculture awakened the power of the eyes in his blood, he needed to replace the magic that overlapped with these abilities with other magic.

The magic that was replaced first was level-0 detection magic, because now the effect of Bai Ze's pupil technique after he awakened was much stronger than this. It's a pity that there are less replaceable magic in Bai Ze's bloodline. After hesitating for a few seconds between [Sudden Shock] and [Magic Trick], he chose [Magic Trick], a spell that can be called panacea at level zero.

The other magic that was replaced was [Dark Vision] for the same reason as the previous level zero magic. After checking the abilities provided by the bloodline, Lawrence replaced it with [Invisibility].

But also because the newly selected [Invisibility] and the first-level spell [Camouflage] overlapped in some places, so he then replaced this first-level spell with [Strike the Enemy], which can The battle magic that promotes each other with Bai Ze's natural blood, he can feel that he can get blood bonus when using this magic.

After all, among the other two replaceable spells, [Language Proficiency] was of little use after receiving the gift package of knowledge from the God of Knowledge last time. And the effect of Bai Ze's bloodline overlaps with [Harmony Appearance].

After simply updating the spell list, Lawrence began to seriously choose his newly added spells. After such a long time, he also found that the number of spells he obtained each time he leveled up was significantly different from that of ordinary warlocks. Fortunately, this difference is mainly reflected in the aspect that he can obtain more spells.

For example, in this upgrade, he obtained two new zero-level spells, two first-level spells, two second-level spells, two third-level spells, and three fourth-level spells from his bloodline. After some thought, he quickly selected the new spell.

Considering that since he awakened Bai Ze's bloodline, he could learn spells by himself as a supplement, so he tried to choose some useful spells that were difficult to learn from the outside world in his choice of magic. For example, in the zero-level spells, he chose the two druid spells [Observe Nature] and [Treat Minor Injuries].

In addition, Lawrence chose two first-level spells, [Sign of Doom], which can be greatly enhanced by the power of his own blood, and [Magic Alarm], which is very useful when going out. [Preview Luck] and [False Life] are two second-level spells, and [Water Breathing] and [Flying] are two third-level spells.

It can be seen that the spells that Lawrence has chosen now are basically not offensive spells, but they can be regarded as very useful spells from all angles.

As for the three latest fourth-level spells, Lawrence first chose the [Force Field Missile], which is in the same line as the Missile Spell, and then chose the [Any Door] that can be teleported in a short distance and the [Mana Boost] that can strengthen magic for the other two slots. 】

But what Lawrence himself didn't expect was that after all the spells were selected, the force field missile magic that could automatically lock on the target and explode gave him great inspiration. Let him solve a series of problems about how the spell is locked and how to make the spell structure explode after casting the spell.

This made his research on the previous stele a big step forward. Although he couldn't make any achievements for a while, at least he now has an accurate research direction. As long as it is done step by step, there should be enough new results soon.

After finishing all the work on level promotion, Lawrence fell into a deep sleep satisfied. Because he has encountered too many things today, and at the same time, he inevitably looks very tired and needs a good rest. He thinks he can sleep until 12:00 noon tomorrow.

Unfortunately, this small expectation of Lawrence did not come true. Early the next morning, he woke up to the sound of gunfire.

"Damn, let no one sleep." Lawrence grumbled, got out of bed and took a sip of water, then looked out through the gap in the metal window cover. It turned out to be a very bad scene.

The sky was overcast, with thick dark clouds covering the capital Vendobona. Although the wind that blows from time to time blows the fallen leaves across the city streets, but as long as there is a slight pause, Lawrence can see the flames caused by the unextinguished flames in the bustling commercial districts and residential districts extending to the city. Black plumes of smoke in the sky.

After zooming in, he saw all kinds of sundries all over the street, such as corpses lying on the street, chariots burned to the point of black frames, and all kinds of fragments that flew all over the street after the explosion . These debris are both fallen from the surrounding buildings and those formed by the destroyed barricades.

But the streets are not completely deserted. Some red-eyed wild dogs will come out from the alleys of the street and try to eat the corpses, and then the sentries on duty in the referee will use the rifles in their hands to make new corpses .

Some citizens who had been hiding before also came out of their hiding places, trying to get some needed things from the battlefield. But these citizens were quickly summoned by the magistrates and began to clean up the chaotic neighborhood around them.

On a street not far away, a group of soldiers in blue uniforms walked past the street with loaded guns. In addition to conventional infantry, cavalry and horse-drawn artillery and outside. At the end of the line, 12 two-story-high bipedal steam mobile armors spewing white steam followed behind, turning their hemispherical heads from time to time to observe the surrounding situation.

"It seems that the situation should be stabilized now, there is nothing to worry about." Hearing scattered gunshots and occasional artillery fire from a distance, Lawrence roughly confirmed the current situation and lay back on the bed rest. He decides to sleep for a few more hours until the restaurant starts serving lunch.

Just when Lawrence was sleeping soundly before, a new situation appeared in the palace: under the emergency spell cast one night, the emperor who was suddenly unconscious before finally woke up.

After listening to Prince Eugene's brief introduction to the outside situation on the hospital bed, His Majesty the Emperor, who seemed a little weak due to the curse, immediately announced that he would hand over the command of all the troops in the capital to Prince Eugene, and allow the two soldiers stationed in the surrounding camps A field brigade of the new army cooperated with the brigade in the palace castle to enter the city to suppress the rebellion. At the same time, he also announced that the capital had entered a state of martial law for a period of one week.

Prince Eugene, who was authorized, immediately ordered the troops outside the city that were ready to fight to enter the city to quell the riots and maintain order. Although the main force of the rebel army had been dispersed before, those rebels and some outlaws who were dispersed were still There is a lot of looting and arson in the city, so these need to be solved as soon as possible.

Soon, under the cover of firepower, the troops began to attack the mobs who were looting everywhere. They first bombarded the places where the mobs gathered with artillery, and then attacked the remaining mobs with grenades.

The thugs quickly collapsed under this heavy fire attack, and they began to run towards the alleys and buildings on both sides of the road with their looted property. But that didn't mean they'd escape: Army cavalry and precision marksmen hunted down the lonesome with sabers and bullets.

The powerful combat power of the army makes it very easy to maintain order. Soon, order was restored in the city. The flames burning on the ruins were gradually extinguished.
