Struggle in the Steam Age

The process of obtaining the bloodline lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Lawrence finally regained his consciousness little by little. He felt as if he had just endured pain for a whole century.

After regaining consciousness, the pain receded like a tide. When the last bit of pain disappeared, Lawrence reappeared in the Jianmu space.

"There should be nothing wrong with me now." Lawrence came to a conclusion after a brief inspection of his soul body. "There is no extra tail or horns, which means the fusion of blood is perfect."

"You should go out now." After checking that there was no problem, Lawrence concentrated his energy and exited the Jianmu space. Opening his eyes, he found three familiar faces appearing in front of him.

"You're finally awake, Lawrence." Seeing him open his eyes, Priest Carter said with a smile. "You've been sleeping for three whole days, but you've worried us to the core."

"High Priest Arthur, Priest Carter, and Peter." Lawrence looked at these people in front of him and greeted them one by one, then asked nervously. "By the way, what happened that day? How is everyone doing?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone's problem is fine." High Priest Arthur made a calm gesture to appease, "If you want to talk about the root of the matter, it's a long story. Simply put, the foreman cloth Bu is the real mastermind behind the scenes. He is the descendant of the demonized tree spirit priest."

Listening to High Priest Arthur's narration, Lawrence understood what was going on this time. When the founder of the country, George Adams, destroyed the demonized tree spirit, he also killed the priests who obtained the gift of the demonized tree spirit by killing non-stop. But out of kindness, after the war, he killed those priests whose hands were not stained with blood. The family was exiled to Drake Island.

But what George Adams didn't know was that some of the family members who were exiled had obtained a secret passed down by the priests, that is, the location of the highest sacred object owned by the priests of the demonized tree spirit, the Rod of Glory and Withering. .

For more than 100 years, they have been hiding this secret. Until one day, the Yanzhou farm worker who was working on the farm at home inadvertently knew all this.

After the workers knew about this, they told their leader, Boob, the news. As a voodoo master, Boo Boo naturally hopes to gain the power of the Rod of Glory and Withering. So he came to this farm and tortured the descendants of those priests through cruel means, and killed them after obtaining everything he wanted to know.

Obviously, with their strength, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles away near the Eagle Fort to dig such a treasure. So Bubu used his extraordinary power to influence several people around Baron Gonzalez, and then pretended to be a coincidence to let Baron Gonzalez know the existence of the Rod of Glory and Withering.

Baron Gonzalez easily believed the false news that Boo Boo told him, so he believed that the Rod of Glory and Withering could keep him young forever and rejuvenate himself.

So he bought a piece of land in Fort Eagle, pretending to build an industrial zone to cover his excavation work. But Bubu took this opportunity to lead his men into the workers sent to the construction site.

After entering the construction site, Bubu secretly used voodoo to turn his companions into living corpses one by one, so as to gain an advantage in the subsequent battles. This is why Lawrence found that the workers were too taciturn when he entered the construction site.

"But why does he keep attacking me?" After listening to High Priest Arthur's explanation, Lawrence asked a little puzzled, "I don't know the location of the stick of glory and withering."

"He wants to draw us out through you," High Priest Arthur said. "Because the founder of the country didn't know the existence of such a key item, but he still sealed the entire space where the demonized tree spirit was located together with various churches. After the seal was over, those seals naturally fell into the place of prosperity and decline. on the core of the dimension of the stick."

"As a result, after the voodoo master entered that space, he found that there was no way to break these seals, so he set up a space trap using the energy leaked from the stick of prosperity and withering, intending to trap at least three forces that participated in the seal back then, and then passed Voodoo takes their blood to steal part of the power to lift the seal."

"And you were involved by accident." High Priest Arthur showed an embarrassed look. "The reason why he chose you is because you were very close to us before, and those few attacks were all hoping to lure us through you. Especially the second time he sent the gangsters controlled by voodoo puppets to attack you, just to ensure that You will notify us."

Lawrence nodded, and his relationship with the Church of Knowledge was on the surface. So as long as he encounters extraordinary events, he will naturally go to the church, so he will naturally fall into Boob's trap.

"And besides you, they also used various means to attract the Demon Hunters Guild and the Church of the Lord of Dawn." Arthur shook his head at this point. "We went in late with the demon hunter, so it was just that some people were injured and needed to recuperate for a while. But among the seven people who went in from the Church of the Lord of Dawn, a paladin was called by their lord, and a priest was too injured. so heavy that he could never improve himself any further."

"Oh—" Lawrence sighed after hearing this. But High Priest Arthur, who had seen too much fighting and sacrifice, comforted him in turn. "Fighting against evil is inevitable. Especially for those in the Church of the Lord of Dawn, this can be regarded as benevolence. What is even more gratifying is that none of the ordinary people involved in this matter were hurt. harm."

"And it's thanks to you this time, otherwise it would be impossible for only these two people to be sacrificed. We all owe you a favor." After speaking, High Priest Arthur patted Lawrence on the shoulder. "Also, congratulations on successfully awakening the blood in your body after being stimulated this time, and becoming a warlock."

"Me?" Lawrence pointed to his nose, pretending to be at a loss. "I... am a warlock now?"

"Of course, the whole church felt your breath before you woke up." Priest Carter said and handed Lawrence a palm-sized glass mirror. "You just have to look at the way you look now."

Lawrence took the mirror and took a look, only to be shocked. Because he saw his own reflection in the mirror had changed too much compared to before. Of course, this does not refer to his facial features. His facial features have changed very little, at most, the edges and corners are softer than before, and he looks more pleasing to the eye than before.

What really surprised him was the color of his hair. Before, his eyebrows and hair were black, but now his hair became a silvery white with a slight bluish tinge in the sun. At the same time, the eye color also changed to the same color as cornflower sapphire.

"Don't worry, Lawrence. This is just the consequence of the awakening of the bloodline." As clergymen of the Church of Knowledge, they naturally master the basic knowledge of this extraordinary world. "After the bloodline awakens, the appearance will change, the most obvious of which is the hair color and pupil color change."

"The awakening of the Warlock's bloodline also comes with plastic surgery." Lawrence complained to Priest Carter inwardly. "How can I explain it to my father when I go back now? It looks like a completely different person now."

"Brother Lambert will be happy." Priest Carter had a smile on his face. "Parents will want their children to be better. We have sensed the breath of your blood being activated before. Here I can assure you that if nothing happens, you will at least become a master warlock. You must know your father He has written many letters to me because it is a pity that you cannot become an extraordinary person. After you become a warlock this time, he will be very happy."

"Oh, that's right." Speaking of this, Priest Carter continued, "When you can get up later, go to my room to find me. A senior warlock told me that he hoped to see you."
