Struggle in the Steam Age

The spell fluctuation caused by the upgrade slowly disappeared, and Lawrence also recovered from the previous state and checked his body. Soon, he confirmed through a few simple checks that he had been promoted from the most basic trainee level to the apprentice level.

After confirming his upgrade, Lawrence entered meditation again and began to check the gains of this upgrade. He found that the types of spells he could use had increased a lot, including three at level zero, two at level one, and two at level two. At the same time, the magic reserve also increased from 22 zero-level magic to 54 at a time.

This is much higher than the magic power reserves of ordinary warlocks. Lawrence thinks that it is likely that the talent of soul strengthening just now makes him better than other warlocks in terms of magic power reserves.

"But why is my list of optional spells so strange?" Looking at the pile of runes representing optional spells in front of him, Lawrence felt that there were countless slots in his heart to spit out. "Bai Ze is obviously a divine beast! Why are there not many offensive spells?"

After complaining a few words, Lawrence settled his mood and began to choose magic. After all, although the magic left by the Bai Ze bloodline is a little less offensive magic, it still has a magic missile. In this way, it seems to be much better than some of the more unlucky chopper team warlocks. Not to mention that after awakening the blood of Bai Ze, Lawrence found that his intelligence also increased with the improvement of his strength, which made him feel that he could try to make up for this deficiency by learning spells like a mage.

Of course, learning spells is much more complicated than awakening spells from blood. Therefore, Lawrence also planned to see if he could try to exchange a few magic scrolls from the logistics department after he was busy with these things at hand.

After a brief selection, Lawrence chose his upgraded magic. Because he was quite satisfied with the previous magic, he didn't change the magic he had learned before.

In this case, the three new zero-level magics are restoration, light, and switch. The two first-level magics are the secondary deflection position, the scholar's touch. As for the two second-level magics that he has just begun to contact, Lawrence chose dark vision and resistance to energy damage after careful selection.

It has to be said that as a legendary beast that is not known for its combat ability, most of the magic left in Bai Ze's blood is not suitable for frontal combat. This also means that Lawrence's main output means will still rely on those two guns and the props he made.

After completing the upgrade, Lawrence began to make magic items himself. Because of the promotion to the first level, he can now choose the more risky but more effective props production plan that he gave up before.

At noon three days later, Lawrence drew the last stroke on a dagger. In an instant, a light flashed on the dagger in his hand that had been painted with various magic patterns. When the light dimmed, all the markings disappeared, and the dagger returned to its usual matte gray color.

Seeing this scene, Lawrence held the dagger and swiped at a thin iron rod the size of a little finger that was specially fixed on the edge of the table. After a crisp clang, the front half of the thin iron rod fell to the ground, and at the same time, a relatively smooth section was exposed at the fracture.

"It seems that I succeeded." Lawrence nodded, and then put the magic circle drawing pen with a mithril tip in his other hand on the table. In addition to the pen just put down, there is another dagger and a palm-sized blade with double edges in the center of the table. And in the corner of the table, four bottles of medicine were quietly placed there.

These things are all his achievements in the past three days. After spending 100 points, the dwarves hired by the logistics department of the Church of Knowledge mixed dwarven steel with 2/3 of the fangs of the demonized vicious dog to smelt a strengthened steel , Then they used these steel materials to forge two daggers and a ratman-specific tail knife according to Lawrence's requirements.

Then Lawrence used 1/3 of the teeth of the demonized vicious dog to concoct a special magic ink, and then used them to draw magic circles on these weapons to turn them into enchanted weapons with extraordinary toughness.

When Lawrence produced this extraordinary weapon, several priests who were familiar with him were a little surprised. After all, although this kind of enchanted weapon with the tenacity attribute is the most common kind of enchanted weapon, even some powerful empires can configure this type of weapon for their officers in batches.

But no matter what, the average person needs at least half a year to learn how to make this enchanted weapon. Smart people also need about three months. It is indeed a bit shocking for someone like Lawrence to learn it in a month.

Lawrence felt that this was the reason for the awakening of Bai Ze's bloodline. After the bloodline awakened, warlocks tended to move closer to the bloodline provider in terms of habits or various characteristics. And Bai Ze's divine animal blood, which represents wisdom, is probably the reason for his rapid improvement in learning ability.

The potions placed on the corner of the table were exchanged with an alchemist. Lawrence helped him make a full sixty rounds of exorcism bullets, and he helped Lawrence make potions from the previous spoils.

These four bottles of medicine are divided into two types, two bottles each. Among them, the red ones are fire potions, which can be applied to weapons to cause fire damage, while the gray liquid is called soul poison, which can cause damage to those spirit creatures after being applied to weapons.

After handling all these trophies according to needs, Lawrence began to pack his luggage. Because Fatina came here to inform Lawrence that the decoration of the room was completely finished yesterday, and everyone can live in it now.

After packing everything, Lawrence went to bid farewell to Priest Carter with the big and small bags on his back. Priest Carter told him the same as he did to his own children. "In the future, come and see if you have time, and find out what tasks are suitable for you. Of course, if you need any help, you can come to us. The door here is always open for you."

"Thank you, thank you." Lawrence thanked Priest Carter, holding Priest Carter's hand. The church did give him a lot of help, which made him express his gratitude to the church from the bottom of his heart.

Leaving St. Gutenberg's Cathedral, Lawrence rented a carriage and went to his own house on Linden Street. When he got there, he found that Fatina and Saifeier had already arrived here.

"Did you come here this morning?" Lawrence said as he dragged his luggage into the room. "Sorry, I'm late. Mainly I encountered some problems that I didn't encounter before, so I didn't bring those few things until this morning." The enchanted weapon that I promised you has been crafted."

"Wait, you said you made these enchanted weapons?" Fatina widened her eyes. As the granddaughter of an alchemist, she knew very well how complicated this kind of work was. "We thought you would find someone else to make these weapons. After all, you have connections with the church and can find reliable people."

"Yes, I made it." Lawrence nodded, then took off the bag on his shoulder and took out two wooden boxes, one large and one small, and handed the two wooden boxes to the two ladies respectively. "Safeel, the two daggers you want are in the big box. Fatina, the small box contains the tail knife you want."

While the two ladies were admiring their own enchanted weapons, Lawrence dragged his luggage and climbed upstairs to find his room. The room that belongs to him is very simple. Except for adding a few pieces of furniture and changing the wallpaper, this house has not changed in any way from when it was a dormitory.

In the room with brown wooden floor and beige wallpaper, a large single bed is placed against the corner, and a desk and matching chair are placed beside the bed next to the lower edge of the window.

There are two cabinets at a distance behind this desk, one of which is an open bookcase on the top and a storage cabinet on the bottom. The other is a fully enclosed wardrobe.

There is a bathroom on the opposite side of the room, which belongs to Lawrence exclusively. The ladies' bathrooms are down the hall. In addition, there is a shower room between the two bathrooms. Although the work of boiling water to fill the water tank is a bit troublesome, it does provide them with a kind of enjoyment that is not common in this era.

"That's great!" Lawrence nodded in satisfaction after tidying up the room. "Although it's a bit crude, it still looks like a home."
