Struggle in the Steam Age

Through interrogation, those present learned the identities of the two captives. One of the captives was a detective from a detective agency operating in the area, and also running some not-so-legitimate business behind the scenes. According to him, this time they were hired after the demolition of an area to provide the necessary protection for a so-called archaeological team and to ensure that there were no outsiders in the area.

Of course, how to ensure that there are no outsiders is not very difficult. In fact, the real content of this request is to ensure that no living person can leave with the news here. According to the so-called detective, they received orders to kill all outsiders who appeared within their sight.

This is simply— Nora seemed a little unbelievable, after all, such an order could easily kill a large number of innocent people. In particular, it is impossible to understand why the detective would directly agree to such an obviously inhumane approach when he has no idea what is going on inside.

No way, after all, this place is far away from the gathering area of ​​people. Sometimes, laws and rules basically have no way to extend here. This place can be said to be a place outside the law. A priest of the Goddess of Wealth Church next to him recorded As the prisoner in front of him spoke, his tone was full of disgust.

According to the teachings of the Fortune Church, one of the core tasks of the entire church is to promote the generation and circulation of wealth. And this kind of power is everything, and the lawless place where robbery and theft are the main means of wealth transfer can definitely make every clergyman of the Fortune Church hate him.

And now he is recording the prisoner's confession to collect information about the illegal activities of the so-called detective agency behind him. After returning to the city, he will hand over the information, and then use the power of the church to act like this kind of trickery. The detective agency was directly destroyed. While there's a good chance that doing so won't be effective in reversing the current situation in the Outlaw Lands, if it doesn't it will never change for the better.

The other captive was more valuable, because this guy was the suspicious person they had learned from the shaman when they came: the old lame. Because this guy happened to take a group of camels to drink in a small puddle outside when Lawrence and the others attacked, so he just avoided the fierce battle in this place.

After the battle broke out, he heard the movement and prepared to run with the camel. It's a pity that out of greed, the old lame took away more than a dozen camels in one go, but was stopped by the left-behind members of the church on the periphery because of too much movement. At the beginning, he planned to resist stubbornly, but later found that the church members not only had more people, but also were more powerful than him, so he dropped the weapon in his hand and surrendered.

You mean that you met the leader of the team in the White Eagle Federation? the priest who interrogated him raised his voice and asked after releasing a spell used to shock the soul. Now you'd better explain how you met that person and what exactly is your impression of that person.

Yes, yes— Although the opponent's body has been strengthened, his spirit is not much better than before. It can even be said that his will has weakened a lot after a good time after his physical body was strengthened before, so after several priests asked with serious faces, he immediately recruited all the news he knew.

According to him, the leader of this team was met when he went to work in the White Eagle Federation. Because it was rumored that several gold mines were newly discovered in the Federal Mountain Range, so he packed his luggage and ran to see opportunities to make money. It's a pity that this place is really far away from the Federation. By the time he rushed there, it was already too late, and there were not many places where he could dig gold for a powerless outsider like him.

What's worse, because he didn't bring a lot of money and his legs and feet were bad, so that he almost ended up begging along the street. But just when he was about to despair, a well-known man found that his clothes were different from those around him, asked him about his background, and then recruited him.

As for how his body got better, he is actually not very clear. According to the old lame, he did some things that were not on the table after following the leader, and then the other party gave him a gift before he set off this time. A bottle of red liquid with a bloody smell. After drinking it, he was drowsy every day during the boat trip south, and then he ate a lot. After arriving here, his body suddenly became stronger.

It should be a mixture of life-stimulating potion and life potion. The priest of Fortune Church, who just took a little blood from this guy for testing, whispered beside him. This is a forbidden formula. This drinking method has little effect on extraordinary people, but it can quickly strengthen their bodies for ordinary people.

The problem is that the side effects of this kind of strengthening are actually very large. Speaking of this, the priest of the Fortune Church pointed at the old lame leg with his chin and said, Don't look at him now as if his body has been strengthened all of a sudden. The man is also much younger. But it is at the cost of all the potential of his body. If there are no accidents, he will not have more than one month left to live.

After the priest finished talking, the lame man began to talk about his impression of the leader. Because he had been hanging out everywhere before, and he had seen a lot of big things in the world. More importantly, when faced with this sudden kindness, he still had obvious worries at first, so during that time he consciously tried to figure out what this person was doing.

—He should be a person in the upper class. I can't see that kind of eyes wrongly, because the eyes he looks at other people in the team are the same as those nobles and their stewards looked at me when I went to work in Caracalla. The eyes are the same. Under the watchful eyes of the priests, the old lame vowed.

But he shouldn't be an aristocrat, because he doesn't have many things that look very valuable except for a silver pocket watch. Although the clothes are not low-grade, it can be seen that the style of these clothes is a few years ago. Unlike nobles They are always wearing the most fashionable clothes of the season.

I seem to be a fake nobleman. Lawrence shrugged with a smile. Because after the words of the old missing leg, several young paladins and priests around subconsciously turned their heads to look at the windbreaker and hat of Lawrence's school days that looked half-new and not old.

The most important thing is that he was either reading a book or fiddling with a lot of instruments that I don't know. If he guessed correctly, he should be a scholar. The old lame naturally didn't notice the Lawrence continued to talk about the movement on their side. By the way, if there is anything abnormal, there is one thing, that is, one day when I went to report to him for work, I went in without prior warning, and I saw him holding something and looking at it—

And then? Hearing that the old lame man suddenly closed his mouth at this crucial point, the priest opposite him asked

I hope you can promise not to kill me, and let me leave with water and camels. Unexpectedly, the lame man actually talked about conditions at this time.

The priests of the Orthodox Church of God are not very good at searching for souls, so the interrogation suddenly fell into a stalemate. Seeing this, Lawrence immediately whispered something into the ear of the priest of the goddess of the earth. The technician nodded after hearing this, then communicated with other priests, and finally came to the old lame man with a ruffian face.

We can promise you this in the name of the gods. The priest said, and then saw the old lame man seem to open his mouth to make an inch and said immediately, but that's all, if you don't agree, we Willing to pay an extra fortune to ask these questions from your dead body after killing you.
