Struggle in the Steam Age

Syphil’s grandfather was a well-known art dealer in Eagle Fort, so he lived in a so-called noble community, and the specific location was beside the McKinley Street in front of Sheriff Frank’s house. Laurel Street.

　　 When the carriage entered the street, Lawrence found that the sidewalks on both sides of the street were full of laurel trees. I think this should be the reason why this street was named.

　　 "I'm home." At this time, the carriage stopped outside a small red brick building under the command of Safir. Lawrence appeared in front of an independent three-story building with a small garden in front. The front wall and the cast iron railings of the garden were covered with emerald green creepers.

　　 Lawrence helped to pull the large suitcase out of the wagon, and Syfiel rang the doorbell at the door. After a crisp bell rang, a middle-aged maid in a high-collar maid uniform opened the door and walked over through the garden.

　　 "You are back, Miss Syfiel." The maid greeted Syfiel immediately after seeing Syfiel. "Mr and Mrs. Both of them have been talking about you since yesterday—"

　　 At this time, the oriel window curtain of the room opened, and two figures appeared behind the glass window. Lawrence knew that it was Syfiel's grandparents who greeted her in the house.

"Then I'll go back first. If you have something to do, you can come to St. Gutenberg Cathedral to find me." Knowing that Syfiel must have a lot to say to his relatives after four years of studying in the Old World, so Lawrence was very witty and waved actively. Goodbye.

"Well, I will look for you at about nine o'clock in the morning the next day." Saifei standing outside the door listened to Lawrence and shook his hand. "You may need to trouble you to choose the future with me. The location of the detective.

　　 "No problem." Lawrence nodded, and then he left Laurel Street in a carriage. The first time he returned to the church, he went to the Faith Department to find a task that suits him.

　　 "Ah, good afternoon." Because of the recent period Lawrence would visit this place to check missions at 4:30 pm every day. So the priest in charge of updating the information already knew him, and when he found that it was Lawrence who opened the door, he put down the book in his hand and greeted Lawrence.

　　 "Good afternoon, Priest Robinson." Lawrence also nodded slightly in a salute, and then he asked, "Well, is there a task for me to complete today?"

　　 "You are lucky, I really have a task that suits you today." The priest said and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the desk in front of him. "After all, here is the main church of the Church of Knowledge, and it is located in the big city of Eagle Fort. So there are not many tasks suitable for low-level transcendents, especially for pure newcomers like you. It took me a bit. It takes Kung Fu to find out the tasks that suit you from these files."

　　 "Thank you so much." Lawrence thanked the priest Robinson, and then he looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. After reading a few lines, Lawrence frowned slightly.

"There are strange ghosts haunting the house in the Gear District, or the property left to her by the woman's grandfather who became the Demonized Snake Man last time." Lawrence asked a little bit puzzledly, "How could she have such a property fall away? As a dancer?"

"This property is in the gear area, and it is still on the side of the abandoned factories in the gear area. It has long been a ruin and is occupied by a group of gangs." Priest Robinson said, "The most important thing is because of her. Because the property tax has not been paid for a long time, the property does not belong to her now, but has been taken away by the bank."

　　 "Didn't the bank send someone to take care of it?" Lawrence asked a little puzzled. "I remember that every bank should have a group of extraordinary people of their own."

　　 "But it costs money, and if there are casualties, they will pay a lot of money for the pension." Priest Robinson showed a look of contempt. "So unless forced to do so, they will not mobilize the extraordinary under their own hands. Not to mention that even if the property is cleared, it is not profitable for the bank."

　　 "Then why should we intervene in this matter?" Lawrence looked puzzled. "It says that the ghost has never stepped out of the room. It doesn't seem to be much dangerous."

　　 After all, this is a transcendent world. It is impossible and incapable of human beings to eliminate all other transcendent creatures living in the sphere of human influence. So people tend to only deal with those guys who are very harmful and have a wide range of activities, and no one will care about this kind of house ghost who basically does not leave the house.

Anyway, people in this world have become accustomed to being neighbors with those extraordinary creatures or undead, as long as those things do not harm or hinder others and are not in crowded places, even the most active church on this issue is generally Will not manage.

　　 "Indeed, we don't care about this ghost under normal circumstances." Priest Robinson shook his head. "But because of the previous incident, we hope to send someone to that place to look for it and see if we can find more clues related to this demonization event."

"If you can find clues related to the demonization event, the church will give you extra points." Priest Robinson added, "So don't look at the 50 points for this action, but if you are lucky, you may get several times. Points."

"Seriously, I personally think that for you, the difficulty of this operation is not to solve the ghost, but how to get into the house. After all, there are several gangs around that place, and there is even a gang headquarters upstairs. , I don’t think they will allow you to enter the room. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Are you a gang in the same room as the ghost? It sounds more and more interesting." Lawrence laughed. "You don't have to worry about these gangs. The place where I rented during the four years I was in college was. In the gear zone, I happen to know some people who can solve this problem."

　　 Lawrence is not talking nonsense, he met a lot of people when he lived in the tavern opened by Aunt Susan. Also use his professional ability to help the wounded who enter the tavern equally. In this way, he naturally accumulated enough contacts in that area, at least it is no problem to bring himself close to that area through these people.

　　 "That's good, this task is for you." Priest Robinson said as he took out a pen and paper and wrote a note on the table. Then put it in a brass-colored pipe next to it, closed the lid, and twisted the wrench.

　　 "This is a pneumatic pipe system." Priest Robinson explained as Lawrence looked at the brass pipe with curious eyes. "It is a pipe system that uses compressed air as a power to transmit small things. The church was only equipped with these pipes this year."

　　 After explaining this, a small bell on the pipe rang suddenly, and then the brass label that was originally horizontal on a pipe stood up. Upon seeing this, Priest Robinson immediately opened the lid of the corresponding pipe.

　　 "Ha, here comes a reply." The priest unfolded the scroll that had just arrived and looked at it, and then handed the scroll to Lawrence. "Okay, your action has now entered the archives. Remember, you can't claim other tasks in the church before this task is completed. Unless you complete this task or pay a penalty to end this task."

　　 "I see." Lawrence nodded after taking the paper roll. "I will go there early tomorrow morning to complete the task."
