Struggle in the Steam Age

"Yakko, what's going on with you?" While the corpse was still struggling, Lawrence, who had just rushed into the cave, heard Zhu Yan, who entered the cave ahead of him, shouted eagerly. Following the sound, he saw Sakura Okita sitting against the wall, looking a little weak, with a bone spur glowing green piercing through the chain mail on her forearm.

"This bone spur is poisonous, and it is also mixed with some kind of curse." After pulling out the poisonous spine and checking briefly, Lawrence immediately judged what caused Okita Sakura's current situation. "Common antidotes bought on the market may not be very effective, but I happen to have an antidote made by a rat man alchemist here, which should be able to solve this problem."

Before setting out to hunt for treasure this time, Lawrence asked Fatina to buy a batch of potions with very effective effects from her elder, the master alchemist. For the rat people, this kind of potion is generally not something that can be bought with money.

The reason why Lawrence was able to buy this product was purely because he had done a great favor to the rat people when the typhoid fever broke out before, so he was able to buy this batch of medicine at a very favorable price that was only a little higher than the cost. According to Fatina, as long as Lawrence used the medicine himself, they would sell it to him for a cost as their thanks.

Sure enough, after half of this bottle of vitality potion was sprinkled on the wound and half taken internally. The black blood on Okita Sakura's arm quickly turned back to red, and at the same time, the black lines that were spreading under the skin near the wound also began to fade.

"The next step is to dispel the curse." Lawrence said as he took off the badge he got from the Church of Knowledge last time from the interlayer of his belt and read the opening words. The badge was activated instantly, and a mass of milky white light emerged from the badge, and then submerged into Okita Sakura's body under the guidance of Lawrence.

The magical effect of [Remove Curse] on the badge was established immediately. Just a few seconds after the white light penetrated into the wound, traces of dark green smoke emerged from the wound and disappeared into the air. At the same time, everyone heard a strange hissing sound that gradually disappeared.

"If this kind of injury drags on for too long, it will be very troublesome to deal with, especially those toxins and curses once they are entangled with the injured person's body and even the soul. Fortunately, this time it was dealt with in time, and now there will be no harm. For any problem, just bandage the wound well." Lawrence half-kneeled there and took out the bandage and wound medicine while treating it.

"Brother, thank you, I owe you a favor this time." Zhu Yan patted Lawrence on the shoulder and said, seeing Lawrence who had handled the wound swiftly. "If you need my help in the future, just ask me."

"It's nothing, after all, we are comrades-in-arms now. As the person with the most medical knowledge in the team, I should do all of this." Lawrence stood up and said to Zhu Yan after dressing the wound, then lowered his head and told Okita Sakura, "Don't get water on the wound, remember to change the dressing, and choose a clean bandage to avoid infection—"

"Okay, Miss Okita needs to rest now, and you won't have time to talk about your infection theory after a while." Safir said, looking at the chattering Lawrence and the tired Okita Sakura.

"Sorry—" Hearing Safir say this, Lawrence also remembered that the wounded and sick were actually in a relatively weak state after detoxification and removal of the curse. "This is some kind of professional habit of mine, I'm really sorry."

"Understood." Okita Sakura said in a slightly weak voice, "But as a real warrior, I am not as weak as everyone imagines." After she finished speaking, she tried to stand up with a knife, but Zhu Yan hurried Go forward and ask her to sit down and rest.

After everyone rested for a while, the family of skeletons who were dying outside finally lay on the ground and did not move. And Lawrence also received and purified that few souls.

At this time, Nora received the order through the connection with Lawrence's soul and swooped down many times to get close to the pile of bones on the ground, and through this behavior, she verified to everyone that the monster was indeed completely finished.

The next thing to come is the pleasant time of collecting the spoils, but the core of the human-shaped skeleton was inexplicably weathered and disappeared together with the upper body of the skeleton Naga after being destroyed by Nala. All that was left for them was the Naga's lower body skeleton with a total length of 13 to 4 meters and the skull with only the upper half remaining.

It may be because the Skeleton Naga was completely destroyed, so some secrets that were previously hidden under the magical aura of the Skeleton Naga were immediately invisible to Lawrence's eyes, which were equivalent to constant arcane vision.

"Huh?" Lawrence saw a bright magical aura appearing in the empty skeleton Naga's cranial cavity where the original brain was. However, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch that space, but found nothing.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Yan found it strange that Lawrence was scribbling around inside Naga's empty head, so he put on a spectacle lens with magical vision, and he also saw the bright magic Emmanuel. "What the hell does this happen?"

"I'm also looking for the reason now." Lawrence said, shrugging his shoulders, then squatted down and continued to inspect the half of the skull that could fit him in. With the help of identification, it turned out that it seemed to be some kind of one-time space storage magic. . And the thing that emits magical aura is hidden inside.

"I think I know what this is." Lawrence said to the three curious people around him at this time, and then took out the half stone slab hidden in the cave behind the platform just now from the interspatial bag, and slowly Slowly approaching the magical aura a little bit.

Just when the half section of the slate in Lawrence's hand went deep into the deepest part of the magical aura, he suddenly felt something hit the slate he was holding, and then the whole slate moved away. The other end of himself sank suddenly.

"I seem to have...taken something." Lawrence said, he felt a wave of attraction from the slate in his hand at this time, and kept trying to attract his magic power into the slate. At the same time, he felt that the half of the stone slab in his hand seemed to be welded to death in the void, as if it could not be moved.

This is supposed to require some magic? Lawrence probably guessed what this mechanism was for, so he began to channel a little magic power into the stone slab through his body. At the same time, in order to avoid some bad situations, Lawrence summoned the little puppet Nora to stand behind him, ready to take necessary actions in an emergency.

But fortunately, this time the incident did not end when Lawrence felt that about 70% of the magic power in his body had been consumed. The stone slab, which was originally fixed in mid-air, was suddenly able to move.

As Lawrence slowly withdrew his hand, the magical aura on the spot also slowly disappeared, and at the same time, a complete stone slab was pulled out of the thin air by Lawrence.

"What a beautiful stele." Safir let out a cry of surprise after seeing the stone slab taken out by Lawrence for the first time, because it was different from the ugly half of the stele with dust on it just now. Less, also become a whole. At the same time, there are a lot of exquisite bas-reliefs around it.

More importantly, the messy characters that were simply carved on the half of the stele have disappeared, and now appearing on this complete stele are densely packed characters that are only the size of a little fingertip, each of which seems to be inlaid with golden transparent crystals from.

"This should be what that person took away from the ship back then?" Lawrence said after making a simple gesture, because the size of this stone tablet was just enough to be stuffed into the gold box that was discovered earlier. At the same time, whether it is the magical aura released from this thing or the exquisite appearance of the stone tablet itself, it shows the value of this thing.
