Struggle in the Steam Age

After receiving the final reward of the game, Lawrence and the members of the temporary team had breakfast with the members of the temporary team early in the morning, and after seeing each other in the future, he went to St. Sklodovska Cathedral to take the teleportation magic circle back. The St. Gutenberg Cathedral in Eagle Fort.

"Good morning, Peter. You are—" After coming out of the basement of St. Gutenberg Cathedral, Lawrence was surprised to find that Peter was waiting at the exit of the basement.

"Big Brother Lawrence, I'm here to welcome you." Peter said with a smile, "Everyone in the church knows your excellent results in this competition and your contribution to the church. Actually, if not today If there is something to be dealt with at the church school, Priest Carter will even come to greet you personally."

"It would be inappropriate to let an elder greet me." Lawrence gently waved his hand and said with a smile. When he put his hand down, he realized that the badge on Peter's chest was a little different from before. Carefully identify After a while, he showed a surprised expression. "When did you become a formal sacrifice?"

"Just two days." Peter smiled shyly. "On the second day after you left, when I prayed, I finally felt the power of His Majesty the God of Knowledge, and then released the magic. After several days of practice, I have finally become an official priest. "

"That's really congratulations." Lawrence congratulated this friend from the bottom of his heart. "By the way, this time I bought some special products from the Star Sea on the island during the game and I want to give it to everyone. Can you distribute it for me later?"

"Of course no problem." Peter nodded. "Come to my dormitory first. On my side, the two of us can just divide the present."

Soon in Peter's dormitory, Lawrence took out the gifts that had been subpackaged for the teachers and friends of the church one by one, and finally handed a cloth bag to Peter.

"This is my gift?" After being confirmed, Peter opened the bulging cloth bag, and found that the cloth bag was a small rattan box, and the box contained various specialties of the sea of ​​stars. For example, a small packet of spices for meditation, a bottle of low-alcohol liqueur, a box of chocolates, some small decorations made of coconut shells and shells.

"Thank you, Brother Lawrence." Peter looked satisfied with the gift. "I can give this bunch of shell wind chimes and chocolates to Lily during the afternoon break, she will love it."

Lily is a girl Peter is pursuing. She works as a teacher in a charity school under the Church of Knowledge, about the same age as Peter. This year, he was hired by the Charity Elementary School just after graduating from the normal middle school under the church. Lawrence had seen this girl before. He had short red hair and freckles on her face. She is a very gentle girl.

"Yes, that girl usually treats herself too harshly." Speaking of Lily Lawrence, shook her head. In his memory, although the girl was dressed neatly, the patches on her clothes were a bit conspicuous.

"No way." Peter also shook his head helplessly. "After all, she and her sister ran away when his mother left it. They just rely on their sisters to make matchboxes in their spare time and her father, who lost a leg, buys some snacks or cigarettes to make money in the street, so the family life will naturally pass. It's tight, but even if it does, she only accepts a few small gifts from me at most, not the slightly more expensive things."

"But now she got a job, she should be better after that." There was a smile on Peter's face. Lawrence looked at his smile and suddenly felt like he was stuffed with dog food.

After a few more minutes of chatting, Lawrence, who was back home, bid farewell to Peter and walked out of the cathedral. As soon as I walked out of the bronze gate of the cathedral, I heard Sefil's voice coming from not far away.

"Hey, Lawrence, here." Seeing Lawrence appearing at the door of the church, Syfiel jumped excitedly and waved a card with Lawrence's name in his hand.

It took a while before Lawrence found the looming sign on a group of passersby. Then he squeezed through the crowd and came to Syfiel's side. "I can go back by myself, I don't actually need to bother you to pick me up."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is no work to do this morning." Syfiel took Lawrence to the parking lot on the edge of the square without seeing it. After a short pause, Lawrence was dragged forward by her. . "You just came back. This week the firm encountered a tricky thing that requires you to find a solution."

Just as they were talking, they had already reached the side of a carriage. Then Syfiel opened the door of the carriage and motioned for Lawrence to get in. When the two people got in the carriage and started, Lawrence asked Syfiel, who was sitting opposite. "What the **** is the tricky thing you just said?"

"The day after you went to the competition, Mr. Bass, the major shareholder of the Black Mountain Steel Company, ranked second in Eagle Fort, came to us and hoped that the firm would investigate the recent whereabouts of his wife."

"Aren't we not accepting this kind of commission that blends with other people's housework?" Lawrence was a little puzzled after listening to Syfiel's words. "We can't violate our principles just because people give more money."

"Mr. Bass gave a lot of money, but this does not make me go against my principles. After all, we have to do a high-end detective business. A good reputation is the most important for us. I will not do it. Those short-sighted actions that only care about the present and ignore the future." Saifei hurriedly defended, "The reason why I agreed to take on this task is purely because this task involves extraordinary power."

"If it involves extraordinary power, then it can be understood." Lawrence nodded slightly, and then he said curiously. "What is the extraordinary power involved this time, is it possessed by evil spirits or is it a cult gathering?"

"We began to think it was a cult gathering, because the brooch that Mr. Buss was holding did have some kind of unknown aura." At this point, Syfiel's face collapsed suddenly, "but we followed his wife to sneak in. Only after that manor was it discovered that the evil spirit-like aura was only tainted from a certain devil-related decoration in the manor. It was the kind of organ that many nobles had in the homes of transcendents using demons or monsters. Made decorations."

"So-this is just an ordinary party?" Lawrence looked at Syfiel with some puzzlement. UU Read www.uukanshu.com "But why do you look so ugly?"

"Because in order to make sure that there is no extraordinary force involved in this matter, Fatina and I waited outside the house for a whole night, and did not leave with her until Mrs. Bath left the next morning." Here Syfel made a vomiting action. "It turned out that it was a standard, extremely low-profile aristocratic masked gathering. That's—the kind... I think you should know."

"Okay, I understand." Lawrence guessed at a glance what kind of party was held in that place. He had also heard about some upper-class habits, and naturally knew that this topic was not suitable for him and Sai Fei. You went on to discuss. "But even if it makes you sick at most, it's far from tricky."

"Yes, it's disgusting when things happen here." Saifel shrugged, "but the next thing is really tricky—"

Speaking of this, Safir turned his head and glanced at the scenery outside the window through the glass, "Ah, I think we are coming soon. Let's talk about it when we return to the office, because the next thing is very difficult with the tricky things I said before. Important connections may be difficult to make clear for a while."
