Struggle in the Steam Age

In any case, the priests of the church are extremely sensitive to all kinds of power related to divine power, especially those unknown powers, so after discovering that the divine power in front of them is obviously different from the ones they tracked, they simply After thinking about it for a while, he chose to continue acting according to the original plan.

Unlike Lawrence's goal of solving the pests in the cotton fields, the only purpose of this group of clergymen was to solve the possible evil gods. Therefore, under the current circumstances, it is definitely impossible for them to give up some issues related to the gods that are hidden in these mountains with a high probability.

Now that the plan of action has been finalized, they will naturally continue to move forward according to the plan. Fortunately, the purpose of their visit this time was to clear up some possible evil god problems, so all the priests carried a series of things with a high probability that were specifically aimed at divine power. After the preliminary inspection, several priests gathered together to discuss a few words. Then the priest of the Goddess of Wealth took out a golden music box studded with precious stones from his arms.

"Everyone move closer." The chubby priest who looked like a businessman greeted everyone in a low voice, and then took out a silk bag from his bosom with a painful face, and stuffed his stubby fingers into it to buckle it. After searching for a long time, he took out a piece of transparent topaz the size of a thumbtip and placed it on a groove on the surface of the music box, and then said.

"This music box can release a protective cover with a radius of six meters. Because of the power of our master, it can protect all the people in this protective cover from being discovered by powers related to divine power." Seeing that everyone followed the instructions after explaining themselves. After gathering his request, the priest tapped the piece of topaz he had inlaid just now with his hand. The music box immediately made a sound similar to a march, and then a group of special forces enveloped Lawrence and the others.

Lawrence could feel that the power surrounding him was related to the gods. It should be that the Goddess of Wealth had stored part of her divine power in this small music box. Different from ordinary magic props, this kind of magic props with divine power are basically unique things within each church for the use of the supernatural beings of the church, and outsiders can only obtain them in rare cases.

For example, the badge that Lawrence obtained from the Church of Agriculture before is like this. For ordinary extraordinary people, the magic props that contain a lot of magic are very practical. However, considering what Lawrence has done before, one knows how difficult it is for outsiders to obtain this thing.

However, this kind of props that combines divine arts and magic has unique effects in many places. For example, in the current situation, it is not easy to simply hide one's whereabouts through magic. But if it is this kind of props related to divine power, it will be much easier to achieve the goal.

As they moved forward step by step, the power released by this magic item slowly came into contact with the mysterious power in front of them. But different from what Lawrence thought, the two powers belonging to different gods did not collide violently at the first moment of contact, but instead fused together like two ordinary soap bubbles.

At first Lawrence was taken aback by the sight, but soon he was back to normal. After all, this is a kind of magic used for stealthy actions. If there is a violent collision like he thought before, then there is no secret. Such a method of silently blending into the opponent's range of power is the normal level of a powerful concealment magic.

As everyone advances step by step to the core area. Soon, they found many traces that seemed to be left only recently. For example, they saw a large number of camel's hoofprints and relatively fresh excrement around an open spring. It proves that the people in this place are more active than imagined.

So everyone gave up the plan to enter these narrow valleys and pass quickly, but chose to use the tools and extraordinary physical strength on their bodies to march from the hillsides lined with strange rocks. At the same time, he used the rugged terrain on the mountain to hide his figure. Avoid being spotted by those who move around here.

After spending more than two hours, the sky slowly darkened. In fact, it's about four or five o'clock in the afternoon. But because the almost non-stop sandstorms on this piece of land obscured the sun, the sky was almost the same as that of the left and right even at that time.

At this time, the topaz used as magic energy on the music box held by the priest of the Fortune Church has been changed to the third piece, just when everyone started to get impatient. Nora, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly came out from behind the rock and said to them. "Good news, we are almost there. Because I saw the two gunmen of the other side from the commanding height in front."

According to everyone's previous judgment, there should not be many enemies in this place. So when you see the opponent's shooter, you can probably be sure that this is already close to the opponent. Since the two gunmen on the top of the mountain were just ordinary people and it was getting dark outside, Lawrence and his team took advantage of the rugged terrain on the mountain to successfully bypass the sentry post on the commanding heights.

After bypassing this sentry post, various magic props for reconnaissance appeared on both sides of the road again, and they were arranged more densely than those on the Gobi desert plain before. Fortunately, because there were not too few spellcasters in the team, Lawrence and the others successfully disarmed two or three sirens that could not be bypassed and broke through the opponent's defense line.

"Can you see where those sirens just came from?" Seeing the thoughtful expression of another priest of the Goddess of Wealth Church after dispelling a few magic traps, Lawrence stepped forward and asked.

"Sorry, I can't see it." The priest shook his head and said, "I just checked one of them carefully. The magic siren, it turned out that the siren was purely self-made. The extraordinary materials used were also those General-purpose materials, you can’t see where they were originally produced.”

"However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, the other party has received a relatively formal education about spellcasting, and is not the kind of self-taught person." The priest pushed the mechanical magnifying glass on his left eye and said. "Because the internal structure of these traps made by the other party is quite satisfactory, and it can even be said to be a bit too well-regulated. In my opinion, it feels the same as the standard parts in the textbook."

"If this is the case, I can understand why this place is laid out like this." Lawrence recalled all the things he had experienced since he discovered this group of people, and finally figured out the cause and effect of this, " The opponent should be a purely theoretical faction, and at the same time have a very strong control over his subordinates."

Because this is the only way to explain why the defense of this place is not weak, and there are many kinds of defensive equipment, but Lawrence and his group of 20 people can easily touch the core area. On the one hand, there are a large number of professional spellcasters in Lawrence's team, especially the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, who have some special means of dealing with these magic items.

On the other hand, these traps and detection magic are too standard, even a bit rigid. So as long as they can remove one or two traps after they figure out the specific situation, they will be able to remove them very quickly.

"This kind of situation generally means that there is at least one academic caster." The priest said. "This is likely to cause great danger to us. Don't look at the clumsy layout of these traps, but these spellcasters can cause extremely powerful damage if they are prepared."

"I will stay vigilant, thank you." Lawrence heard the implication of the priest. Obviously, the priest was worried that Lawrence would underestimate the enemy because of these crappy traps, so he gave him a warning. Although he will not let down his vigilance, he still expresses his gratitude to him.
