Struggle in the Steam Age

In front of the statue of Miss Marshall's Cloth Tomb, Lawrence released a [Detection Magic] according to the normal process, but did not see any magical aura.

"Marshall's business is so big, there must be some extraordinary people. If it can be detected so easily, then they don't have to ask outsiders." Saifeier shrugged and said. "Well, we'd better exchange our general occupation and level with each other, so that it will be easier to act later."

"Let me first talk about myself, an apprentice-level sword dancer, majoring in steel soul swordsmanship." Saifei first briefly introduced himself. Lawrence was a little surprised to hear this, because he always thought that the girls' school was an upper class society. The place to train ladies, even to learn swordsmanship, should be the white crow swordsmanship popular among the nobles.

"You must have thought that I learned the white crow swordsmanship?" Syfir seemed to know what Lawrence was thinking, so he approached him and explained in a low voice, "This is true under normal circumstances. After all, the white crow swordsmanship is in the upper class. The society is very popular. There is only this kind of swordsmanship in the female school's swordsmanship elective course.

"But when I chose to study swordsmanship, the swordsmanship instructor was an adventurer who retired after marriage. She felt that I was very suitable to learn the sword of steel soul like her, so she accepted me as her apprentice to teach me her true Unique skills."

"It's really amazing." Lawrence immediately praised Syfiel, who looked at the face of "Hurry up and praise me" in front of him. At the same time, he habitually reached out and touched her short, messy gray hair as he did when he was a child.

"Of course, this girl must be a lot stronger than ordinary people." When Lawrence touched her head, Syfiel was a little bit shy and stiff, but quickly adjusted her mentality and did nothing. Lawrence touched her head while a proud smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "By the way, now it's Lawrence's turn to introduce yourself."

"Me? Okay." Lawrence took the initiative to introduce Fatina, considering that Fatina was someone they had just known. "I am an apprentice-level White Ze warlock. Here, White Ze is a kind of sacred beast. Its overall power is mainly aimed at undead creatures and some prophetic magic used for investigation."

After Lawrence introduced herself, Fatina also started to introduce herself. As a fledgling white, she didn't realize why Lawrence had to take the initiative to tell her personal information before her. "The apprentice-level Red Dragon Sorcerer mainly uses energy-shaping magic and has a little melee ability."

"It seems that I still have the lowest level." Lawrence thought, but considering that he has mastered extraordinary powers for less than a month, it is quite good to be able to achieve this level. Not to mention that he has two pistols on his body, considering the addition of marksmanship, the damage he can cause is no worse than two apprentice-level ladies.

After a few minutes of quick discussion, Lawrence was elected the captain of the three-person team. And the reason why he can use the person with the lowest rank among the three to be the team leader is also very simple.

On the one hand, the two ladies are not familiar with each other, and it is Lawrence who can connect everyone together. On the other hand, the most important point is that neither Syphil nor Fatina lacked adventure experience.

It has been three years since Syfier learned swordsmanship, but she has never really fought. And Fatina had only one adventure story of extreme failure. If Lawrence hadn't rescued her in time, it would have been a broken leg to survive in that basement. Therefore, the two of them also elected Lawrence as the temporary command of the team.

"What should we do now?" After making all the preparations before the adventure, Syfiel raised his head and asked Lawrence.

"The first step is to look for the traces left by the attacker." Lawrence said to the two ladies. "Of course, the most direct and simple traces are probably missing. After all, it rained that night and destroyed them. There was a lot of evidence, and the thief also adopted some targeted concealment methods. Otherwise, the Marshall family did not need to seek foreign aid before. I think now we can only look for places that others have carelessly missed. If it doesn’t work— —"

"I have a way." Before Lawrence finished speaking, Fatina raised her hand to signal that she had an idea. She said after watching Lawrence nod her head. "I want to try a special ability of our rat people, it might be useful."

"Squeaky-squeaky." Fatina squatted directly on the lawn and whispered with her hands close to her mouth. Ten seconds later, several mice and squirrels ran to Fatina from the surrounding ground and trees and screamed.

Obviously, Fatina could hear the meaning of the sounds of these rodents. After a few minutes of squeaky discussions, Fatina took out a few fried soybeans from her pocket and gave them to them. After watching them disperse, she stood up and said to Lawrence. "The squirrels are asleep at night, so they don't know the surroundings."

"But the voles nearby just came out to forage. A vole told me that when it came here three days ago, there was a person in this place. It remembered clearly that the surrounding temperature dropped when the person passed by him. When it came down, the temperature was about the same as after the snowfall in winter. In addition, this book also told me. The field mouse also told me where the person was leaving. I think we can go and take a look."

"Good job, let's follow it now." After speaking, Lawrence and the others chased in the direction the field mouse pointed. When they chased into the rowan grove next to it, Lawrence really found some traces.

"Wait a minute, I seem to have found something." After more than 30 meters in the woods, Lawrence raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop, and then gently knelt on the ground on one knee. In front of him was half a leaf printed under a broad leaf. footprint. Because it was under the leaves, it was not washed away by the rain three days ago.

"A footprint, what can you tell? Although this footprint looks like a fresh footprint that was printed only in the past two or three days~www.ltnovel.com~, it might belong to the gardener in the garden." Fatina looked. I looked at what Lawrence was staring at, but she didn't see anything wrong.

"This is not the footprint of the people in the Marshall family garden." Saifei said after taking a look. "The Marshall family uses uniform shoes, which are customized from the shoe store. And the pattern on this shoe print is consistent with the Marshall family The special pattern is different."

"Besides, I can deduce from this footprint that the person passing by here is a thin young man of about 1.65 meters." As a medical student who has studied anatomy, Lawrence learned from this footprint. Judging on more information. "Also, this person is probably in a good family situation before, but his financial situation is not so good now."

"Height and weight can be inferred and I can understand." Syphil turned his head and looked at Lawrence. "But how do you see the economic situation?"

"Because this footprint just printed a trademark on the ground." Lawrence pointed to the footprint on the ground. "The shoes in the golden horseshoe store are not cheap. My classmate Edward once told me that his father, who was a sheriff, had such a pair of shoes. He was not willing to wear them at all. They would only be worn during important ceremonies or events. Shoes."

"But the soles of these shoes seem to be a bit worn out, so I infer that this person's recent economic conditions are not very good."

"Then why don't you buy shoes from a second-hand shoe store?" Fatina asked curiously.

"Because people who wear this kind of shoes will never sell their old shoes to second-hand shoe stores. This kind of store will recycle and destroy the old shoes." Saifeier explained. "Okay, now let's ask people around us to see what news we can get."
