Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 After the bell rang, a 50-year-old butler in a tuxedo walked out of the room. After seeing Lawrence and the three of them, the butler seemed a little surprised, but he quickly recognized Syfiel who had made an appointment in advance.

　　 "It's nice to meet you, Miss Coburg." The butler bowed slightly to Syfiel, then straightened up. "May I ask what your two friends are—"

　　 "Oh, they are my friends." Saifier approached the old butler slightly, and then lowered his voice. "And they are some extraordinary people, I think if I need to find something, they can provide a lot of help."

　　 "Then, please come in." The butler said as he opened the door, and then led them on the cobbled path through the neatly manicured bushes and flowers in the garden.

　　 After they walked into the living room with marble floors, the housekeeper motioned Lawrence to sit on the sofa first. Then he went upstairs to call the owner of the room. At the same time, a door on the side of the living room opened, and a middle-aged maid in a standard long-sleeved long-sleeved maid dress walked out and made a cup of coffee for each of them.

　　Lawrence and they just took two or three sips of coffee. With laughter, an old man who looked like a pudgy walrus came down from the stairs. "Ha, little Safir, let me take a good look at you. The last time I saw you was five or six years ago, I didn't expect you to grow up in a blink of an eye."

　　 "Nice to meet you, Grandpa Dalton." Seeing the old man enter the living room, Lawrence and the others immediately stood up and saluted. Then Syfiel came forward to talk with him.

　　 As the two people talked, Lawrence finally knew what they needed to do if they wanted this property: the whole thing or the big businessman William Marshall was involved in the end.

　　 William Marshall had several children with his wife and several illegitimate children with his lover during his life. But the most difficult thing for him to forget among so many children is the eldest daughter of him and his wife. This girl is their first child and has always been regarded by him and his wife as the jewel in the palm.

　　 Especially at that time William Marshall was often busy with his business activities and rarely had time to spend with his daughter. So as a father, he has been trying his best to make up for it elsewhere. Especially when their eldest daughter was 17 years old, he spent a lot of money and contacts to send his daughter to study at Lu Daisi, the cultural center of the Old World.

　　 Ludais is the capital of the Francis Empire and the cultural center of the western part of the Old World. The school William Marshall found for his daughter was the famous Trianon Girls' School. In the Old Continent, no matter what your background, as long as you graduate from this girls' school, you can undoubtedly become an upper class society.

And William Marshall’s eldest daughter did not live up to her father’s expectations. Four years later, she successfully completed her studies and also accumulated a lot of contacts. If she returns to the White Eagle Federation, she is likely to become Eagle Fort and even today. A dazzling star in the upper class of the entire Federation.

　　 But unfortunately, when the eldest daughter of the Marshall family returned from school, the luxury passenger sailing ship called Titan Glory was off course due to the storm. As a result, he broke into a huge legendary sea beast site.

　　 Although the master mage who accompanied the ship tried his best to resist, because the gap between the two sides was too large, 1/5 of the entire ship managed to escape. It is a pity that the eldest daughter of the Marshall family is not among the 1/5.

　　 After the tragedy, William Marshall built a cloak mound for his daughter in her favorite suburban manor in her lifetime. He will visit his daughter on some important days until today.

However, after a rain three days ago, when he and his wife went to visit their daughter, they saw a heartbreaking scene: the daughter’s dress mound was torn apart, and the jewelry and various utensils that their daughter liked during her lifetime were placed inside. It was also thrown into the muddy water on the lawn next to the clothing mound.

　　 After checking, they found that the intruder did not take away the gold and silver jewelry in the room, but took away a gold enamel pendant with a portrait of the Marshall lady.

　　 "So I hope to help my brother find the missing pendant." After telling the reason, Dalton Marshall sighed. "The strand of my poor niece's hair is inlaid behind that pendant, which is the last thing my brother and sister-in-law have thought of their daughter."

"I don't deny that if I find this pendant, I can get a lot of benefits from my brother. But on the other hand, I also hope to find that thing from my heart. After all, I also watched my little niece grow up. Yes, it’s already bad to fail to take her home, I really don’t want her to be the last trace in this world—"

　　 At this point, Dalton Marshall smoked his nose. Then he took a handkerchief out of the pocket of his clothes and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "Sorry, it’s easy to remember the past when people are old."

　　 "We can all understand, Grandpa Dalton." Syfiel stepped forward to comfort him. After Mr. Dalton calmed down, he invited his butler to say a few words.

The butler nodded and left the living room after listening to Mr. Dalton's instructions. Then he turned his head and said to Lawrence: "I will ask my butler to prepare a carriage for you to take you to that suburban manor. I hope you can find some clues. ."

"It seems that this time the matter should be related to the transcendent." After sitting on the carriage, Lawrence said first, "If it is a normal thief, it is impossible to take away a simple pendant, but to take those The jewels were swept away."

　　 "You are right." Fatina nodded. As a person who lacks money~www.ltnovel.com~, she understands the ideas of people who lack money very well. "If it is for wealth, then the person who is doing something like digging a grave will definitely not take away only one thing, even if there are too many things to take away, he will at least take away those valuable things. For example, whether it is Rings, necklaces or bracelets can be taken away as long as you put them in your pockets. It is impossible to ignore them."

"As far as I know, the manor has always been patrolled by a gunman squad of retired soldiers. The burial mound was hollowed out of a large stone and put things in and then sealed the gap with a thick bronze plate with inscriptions. Yes. The gap was completely filled with molten copper and iron when blocking it.” Saifeier, who knew more about it, explained.

"Whether it's breaking the stone or prying open the blocked place, it takes enough time, and the movement is not too small. If it weren't for the gunman team to be bought out, then the only thing that can explain it is this one. There are traces of transcendents in the matter."

　　 After half an hour, they came to Miss Marshall's cemetery. The shape of this cloak tomb looks like a bronze statue of a girl standing on a boulder. The girl is standing on the stone quietly wearing a more complicated costume that was popular in that era than it is now, as if looking into the distance.

　　 There is a hole in the boulder now. The inside of the hole is empty. The things should have been taken by the Marshall family. A thick copper plate with inscriptions is leaning on the boulder.

"Sure enough, this incident has something to do with the transcendent." After carefully examining the big stone and the copper plate placed aside, Lawrence easily came to the conclusion that after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to not disturb the guards. The edges of the copper plate and the stones are simultaneously fired into a molten state, so that the edges of the copper plate are even mixed with glass-like solids.
