Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 After resolving the inexplicable death of two punks, the three of them refocused on the strange attack. As a man who has fought with all sorts of weird evil forces for most of his life, High Priest Arthur can roughly judge what happened based on the evidence collected from Lawrence.

　　 "Those two people may be controlled by some kind of evil magic," High Priest Arthur said solemnly. "However, there is too little evidence now. The only remaining evidence can only prove that the power and death that control them is related to the lower space."

　　 "That is to say, those two people are attached to the power from **** or the underworld." As Lawrence who grew up in the Church of Knowledge, he naturally knew what the High Priest Arthur was talking about. "This means that this ruin is likely to have something related to the lower space, and the conspirator behind the scenes wants to gain the power inside, right?"

　　 "No, not necessarily." High Priest Arthur shook his head. "You are talking about one possibility, and the other possibility is that the ruins are probably related to some righteous gods. If you desecrate them, people who use evil forces will gain the favor of the lower space."

　　 "In addition, there may be some kind of wealth, a kind of wealth that all transcendents need. Actually, I personally prefer this."

　　 "Why did that man start on me?" Lawrence asked puzzledly. "I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't stop what those extraordinary people want to do."

　　 "Maybe because this expedition is not as simple as it is on the surface." Priest Carter thought for a while and said. "I suspect there is something in it that we don't know."

　　 "Your suspicion is probably right, Brother Carter." High Priest Arthur nodded. "Don't you think it's a coincidence. Not long after the baron arrived, he found a ruin around the city that he had never heard of before."

"Is it because of luck?" Lawrence asked. "After all, those rich people have always liked to spend money to buy fame like this, and for the upstart who just came to Eagle Castle, Baron Gonzalez listened. It should be normal to spend money to organize expeditions on similar news."

"I thought so at the beginning." Priest Carter said after taking a look at Lawrence. "But after you told me your suspicion a week ago, I asked someone to investigate it. It turned out that Baron Gonzalez went to the Eagle. Fort is mainly to build a food factory for deep processing of his agricultural products."

　　 "This is normal!" Lawrence murmured. It is normal for him to come to a capitalist with a large number of plantations to expand his business to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

　　 The food processing industry is either close to the origin of raw materials or close to the consumer market. As the largest port city of the White Eagle Federation, Eagle Fort is naturally a big consumer market. It is no surprise to build a food factory here.

"But the next thing is not normal." Priest Carter did not blame Lawrence for whispering, but directly said, "The work the workers did when they found the underground ruins this time was for a new place. Sewers will be built in the industrial park. The factory of Baron Gonzalez is in this industrial park."

　　 "This is indeed too coincidental." Lawrence frowned. "But these obviously don't explain anything, especially if he really doesn't want outsiders to join, he can completely exclude me from the expedition. There is no need to use the current fierce methods."

　　 "Yes, that's why we can't do anything now." High Priest Arthur looked helpless. "Because we are not an evil organization, we cannot take action just by guessing."

"So I hope you can join this expedition." At this point, Priest Carter lowered his head and looked at Lawrence and said, "This is mainly because I think you are now involved in this matter, only to be completely wiped out. Only the evil guy behind can ensure your safety."

　　 "Of course I have to admit that you take greater risks if you participate, but I can assure you that if you make a contribution, our Church of Knowledge will never treat your own people badly."

"Well, I will join this expedition." After thinking about it, Lawrence immediately made a decision. On the one hand, it was really bad for someone to stare at it, and on the other hand, he considered his golden fingers. It needs sufficient resources as a backing, and it is difficult to get enough opportunities if you do not dare to take risks.

For Lawrence, since it has been determined that he will live in this world with extraordinary powers in the future, he is not only satisfied with spending this life as an ordinary person, especially when he has the opportunity to become extraordinary. So, so he hopes to seize this opportunity to gain enough benefits for himself.

　　 After seeing Lawrence agree to join the expedition, the two priests nodded approvingly together. Afterwards, High Priest Arthur suggested: "Since you agree to join the expedition, for safety reasons I suggest that you live in the church room during the period before the expedition leaves."

　　 "No problem." Lawrence nodded, after all, the host behind the second attack today used some kind of strange extraordinary power. He didn't think he could survive the three days in this situation.

　　 Next, accompanied by Priest Carter, he went back to the tavern to take away the luggage, and at the same time he got a letter from Aunt Susan. This letter was sent by Lawrence’s playmate when she was a child. In the letter, she said that she had graduated from a girls’ school and would come to Eagle Fort within half a month, hoping to see you immediately after arriving in this city To Lawrence.

　　 "It seems we need to deal with this matter quickly." Lawrence thought when Priest Carter came to the guest room of the annex building behind St. Gutenberg Cathedral. "Otherwise it's definitely a bad thing to let friends dove."

　　 Looking at the white walls and simple brown furniture in the room, UU reading www. Lawrence relaxed at once. He had been growing up in the church of the Church of Knowledge before. This familiar decoration style and the location of the room made him feel a unique sense of security at home.

　　 In the next three days, Lawrence was like returning to living with his adoptive father. Except for the morning exercise, the rest of the time passed by reading books and going to the church affiliated school to help.

　　 But the day after he lived here, Priest Carter brought him a letter from Professor Black. The letter stated that after investigating the school, the man behind the scenes had been found.

　　 The black hand behind the scenes is a student who also belongs to the medical school. He is the son of the biggest bootleg merchant in Eagle Fort. In order to fight for this, he found a gang to hire punks and attacked other candidates.

　　 As a treatment, that person has now been expelled from school. At the same time, his father paid compensation to everyone who was attacked according to their injuries. Lawrence also found his own 65 yuan compensation in the envelope.

　　 "Uncle Carter, I always feel that this is not as simple as the letter said." After looking at the envelope, Lawrence raised his head and said to Priest Carter.

"This letter is true." Priest Carter said after taking a look at the letter that Lawrence handed over. "But after you were attacked, we immediately began to trace the identities of the two gangsters and related matters. When they tracked down their boss, it was found that their boss had been dead for two days. The cause of death was that he drank and celebrated after receiving the task, and fell into the sewer while drowning while drunk."

　　 "This is another coincidence." Lawrence pursed his mouth. "It seems that the trouble in the expedition is really big!"
