Struggle in the Steam Age

For the next week, all four of Lawrence and Zhu Yan lived in this mansion. Of course, everyone didn't feel so boring when they lived here, and it was even very valuable for them to spend this time.

For example, Safir had been stuck at the apprentice level for some time before, and since she returned to the New World, she and Lawrence have experienced many actual combats, which has loosened the bottleneck a lot. After temporarily living in Zhu Yan's family mansion this time, she went to the training ground with Okita Sakura every day to receive guidance from the combat instructor.

Under the guidance of that coach, Safiel, who was already in a saturated state, successfully broke through the bottleneck in five days and became an official-level sword dancer.

Unlike the profession of the same name as the elves, the human sword dancer is not a cloth armor profession, but a secondary profession of a warrior who relies on a sword to complete offense and defense at the same time. So after becoming an official-level sword dancer, Safir began to seriously consider getting himself a set of enchanted armor. After all, having armor and having no armor on the battlefield are completely two concepts.

And Okita Sakura also took advantage of this opportunity to practice against Safir to gradually master the part of her new power after becoming an official-level samurai. Under the careful guidance of this high-level coach, she only spent In just five days, this kind of power that usually takes two weeks to master can be mastered.

Zhu Yan and Lawrence took advantage of this opportunity to spend time in the library looking for content they were interested in. For example, Zhu Yan and a few cousins ​​took advantage of this opportunity to get together and began to exchange their knowledge and skills with each other. .

Lawrence was very lucky to find some knowledge that was difficult to find in the Federation, such as some extraordinary knowledge from Zhendan and Yingzhou. In particular, some of the books mentioned part of the knowledge about substitute paper dolls and drawn objects, which just allowed Lawrence to strengthen his understanding of the paper doll substitute technique he had learned before.

If it is said that Lawrence, who had the paper doll substitute technique, could only use this magic extremely rigidly and dogmatically as written in the book, now after receiving this knowledge, he finds that he can use it more Use this kind of magic flexibly, and even improve the magic itself according to your own needs.

After discovering the value of these books in the library, Lawrence simply used the special soul connection between himself and the little puppet to send all the things he saw and wanted to record to the little puppet Nora, and then Nora manipulated the book charm hiding in their astral plane to quickly transcribe all these things.

However, to Lawrence's surprise, he thought that the book charm could only stretch out its tentacles and roll those pens to copy. But this time, the book charm actually absorbed several bottles of ink before elongating itself into a round stick with a thick wrist, and then asked several temple staff to stuff paper into the side of the cylinder from one end.

After just a few seconds, the double-sided printed paper floated out from the opposite side of the cylinder. This efficiency is more than ten times that of using tentacles to scroll with eight pens before. Lawrence wondered why Shumei didn’t do this before, but to his surprise, Shumei told him that the reason why he didn’t do this before was that it felt that the words sprayed on paper by atomizing ink had no soul, so as long as time It doesn't matter that he copied them all.

Lawrence really had nothing to say to this somewhat artistic book charm, but it still prioritized things, so he simply let it go.

So people who read books in the library of the Zhu Family Courtyard all saw an amazing scene: a young man with white hair and blue eyes placed a book on the left and right sides of him, flipping through it quickly, his eyes just flicked slightly Ability to quickly turn to the next page.

However, the person in charge of the library didn't come out to stop it. After all, as long as you don't release magic, don't destroy books, and don't go to prohibited areas, borrowers can read whatever they want. There are few people like Lawrence who have a special way of reading, but they are not unique. The old man who manages the library has even met him.

You must know that this is a world with supernatural powers, and people with memory or similar abilities do exist. Therefore, there is no standard posture for reading in this world.

In such a busy schedule, a week has passed. That day, when Lawrence and Safir were having breakfast in the dining room, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the door. After simply inquiring about the people around him, he learned that the main force of the family who had gone to the north to do business before had returned. And depending on the situation things should be handled well.

Sure enough, after the breakfast was over, the elder called Lawrence to talk for more than ten minutes before letting him leave. Then he left the mansion with Zhu Yan and the others and returned to Zhu Yan's house in a carriage. On the way, Lawrence also learned the whole story from Zhu Yan.

The whole thing is more complicated, but to put it simply, a certain organization has discovered some very valuable minerals in the territory of the Ice Bear tribe, but they don't want to negotiate with the Ice Bear tribe in accordance with the laws of the New Island Republic. So I chose to use outside tactics to try to stir up conflicts between the various forces on the ice sheet, trying to fish in troubled waters.

And the main force of Zhu Yan's family mobilized a large number of people to help because the tribe they had a good relationship with was also involved in this conflict.

The organization that caused the trouble did not expect that when the Orientals first set foot on this land, they would establish some relationship with the ice bears. And because of the honesty, loyalty and bravery of the ice bear people themselves, in the hundreds of years of communication, these ice bear tribes often have many human friends who have died.

So that method of sowing dissension is indeed useful for the Ice Bears, who are straight-minded and have a relatively single direction of extraordinary power. However, after the human friends of the Ice Bears arrived one after another, they quickly found out what was wrong. . Then traced along the traces they left before.

It was at this time that the group of people found out that the situation was wrong and sent the daughter of the blood coagulation shaman who had been kidnapped before to Xinhuiji. sea ​​transportation process. It's just that what they didn't expect was that Lawrence actually rescued the hostages they had taken before with great effort at the most vulnerable link in the transportation chain.

What was even more unexpected was that the responding party who arrived late did indeed use an extraordinary person who was good at divination to try to find the whereabouts of the hostages after discovering that the situation was wrong. However, due to Nora's post-processing before, the fortuneteller on the other side had no way to pinpoint the location and situation of Lawrence and the others, whose divine power was hidden on Benalla's body.

So much so that these people wasted precious time in confusion, and finally were blocked by the left-behind members of the Zhu family who got the news. It was also following this clue that everyone finally found out who was behind the scenes those guys.

"So everyone is very grateful to you." Zhu Yan said in an envious tone when he said this, "If you hadn't accidentally rescued the ice bear princess from the blood coagulation tribe, we would like to lock It may take several times longer to identify the other party, and maybe let the other party run away."

"It's true that I was lucky." Lawrence said with a smile, and he also felt that his luck this time was indeed a bit too much. Naturally, Lawrence also gained a lot from it. For example, before leaving Zhu Yan's house just now, the elder talked to Lawrence in order to give him something to commend his previous contributions.

"Is it possible that Bai Ze's bloodline can increase people's luck?" At this time, after recalling what he had experienced before becoming a warlock, Lawrence suddenly felt that he still knew too little about Bai Ze's bloodline.
