Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 72: Tricky commission

   After half an hour, I simply ate it as a sandwich for lunch. Lawrence and the others rode in a carriage to the upper town of Eagle Fort in the north. To be precise, this place has left the urban area of ​​Eagle Fort.

   Fatina chose to stay in the office to look after the house, because this mission needs to be in that lady's manor, and as a red dragon warlock, she can't do it in that place. According to her, letting her complete tasks in such a confined space is likely to turn into demolition.

   Because of leaving the city, the density of the buildings suddenly dropped. The high-rise buildings and row houses on both sides of the road before have slowly disappeared, and the pavement has changed from an asphalt pavement to a pebble pavement. Iron gas lamps are neatly arranged on the crosswalk on the side of the road. Behind them are luxurious manors surrounded by hedges.

"The richest people in the city live here." Saifeier looked at the scenery receding from the side of the road and said, "My grandfather once dreamed of reshaping the glory of the Coburg family in the old world in the new world. A very important specific goal is to live in a residential area on this side of the city."

   "Of course, this is just a dream. My grandfather never fulfilled his dream of living here when he was young." Syfis looked at Lawrence and shrugged. "But I think if everything goes well, I might live here."

  Safir is telling the truth, transcendents can easily accumulate wealth that ordinary people may need several generations to accumulate in a short time through their own power. Of course, the corresponding is that their mortality rate is much higher than that of ordinary people. After all, although the extraordinary are powerful, the problems they encounter are also related to the extraordinary.

   A few minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the two extraordinary wrought iron gates. At this time, a housekeeper was already waiting here.

   "It's nice to meet you, Miss Coburg. Of course, and your companion." After everyone got out of the car, the lady who had met in the shop saluted Safir and the others. "Please come with me now, my master is already waiting for you in the room."

   Under the guidance of the housekeeper, several people walked forward along the driveway sandwiched between neatly trimmed bushes and hedges. When they looked over the low hedge, Lawrence and the others could see a grassy meadow and trees trimmed to look like animals.

   Suddenly, a flapping sound of wings came from the side. Lawrence looked up, only to see a brilliant blue peacock flying up from nowhere, and then walking gracefully on the top of the hedge.

   "It's really rich enough." Lawrence mumbled in his heart. Last time, the Marshall family was almost as rich as this one, but the decoration of their holiday estates in the suburbs tended to be wild rather than luxurious.

"My master is the daughter of the Earl of Ang Bazak in the Francis Empire. When he married the hostess, Mr. Fontaine, the host rebuilt here exactly the same as the newlyweds according to the earl’s holiday estate she liked most when she was a child. The gift was given to my host, Madam Fontaine." On the way, the housekeeper proudly introduced the host to Lawrence and the others.

   At the end of the straight driveway, a very decent mansion stood there. The carved glass of the windows on the ground floor reflects the morning sun, and there is a small white marble fountain in the center of the small square in front of the mansion.

   came to the front door of the room. The housekeeper knocked on the door, and the door was opened silently by a servant. Along a corridor paved with bright red carpets with gold edges, the three people walked into a living room together.

   The floor of this living room is covered with an extremely gorgeous velvet carpet imported from Aurora. All the furniture is also elegantly decorated Aurora style furniture made of mahogany. The entire living room has formed an oriental style that has recently become very popular among the wealthy.

In the middle of the living room, a blonde middle-aged woman in a gorgeous morning dress sits alone on a heavy chair, and on the chair on her left sits two wearing leather vests and leather pants, dressed very well. Neat young man.

"Welcome, Miss Coburg, and Mr. August." After entering the room, the housekeeper walked quickly to the middle-aged woman, bent over and said something, and then the middle-aged woman said something. Nodded slightly to Lawrence and the others.

   Lawrence and the others naturally pressed their right hand to the left chest and bowed in return, and then sat on the chair on the right hand of the lady. After Lawrence and the others sat down, the lady said, "I think my housekeeper has already told you what to face. Today I asked you to come over to solve the problem of my child."

"Of course, I know that in this case, it is not very compliant to ask two people to solve the same thing at a time. But I want you to understand a mother’s concern about her child. As compensation, I also promise you. No matter whether you succeed or not, I will have a thank you gift."

"We can understand." All the people present nodded slightly to express their attitudes. After these polite remarks were finished, everyone carefully asked the victim's itinerary a few days ago, and then went to the second floor under the guidance of several servants. Check the situation of Mr. Fangdan.

   Due to the basic rules in the transcendental world, both parties entered this bedroom separately to check the situation. When it was Lawrence's turn to enter the bedroom, he immediately noticed that the young man on the bed was in poor condition as soon as he entered the door. At least that pale face can explain his current situation.

  As a professional doctor, Lawrence checked the young man on the bed. Obviously, he is now in a very weak state, as weak as a malnourished person after traveling hundreds of kilometers~www.ltnovel.com~ After the routine inspection, Lawrence began to use magic to check the young man. Among them, [Detection Magic] checks that he has magical auras left behind after being cast. And [Detection of Toxicity] did not find any traces of poisoning on this young man.

   "So, Mr. Fontaine should have planted some kind of negative magic." Lawrence nodded after looking at the result of the magic check, and then frowned slightly at the young man lying unconscious on the bed. "But where did this negative magic come from?"

   After all, when he first inspected the room, he didn't find magical aura in any other place except this young man. In desperation, he tried to release one of his special [identification techniques] to the young man.

  Unexpectedly, the appraisal technique that can theoretically only produce effects on magical artifacts reacted when it fell on the young man. This may represent a benign variation caused by a special force belonging to Bai Ze.

  【Due to the loss of soul and a lot of soul loss under the action of magic. A line of information appeared in front of Lawrence, [If you want this person to return to normal, you need to find the missing part of the soul and cultivate for a period of time. 】

   These variant versions of [Appraisal Techniques] did not get much information from this young man, but they told Lawrence some key news. The two most important points are that the cause of Mr. Xiao Fangdan is the lack of soul and the soul is only missing rather than lost.

   "Then the next step is to look for the missing soul." Lawrence suddenly felt that this commission suddenly became troublesome. "But the Eagle Fort is so big, how do you find a needle in a haystack?"
