At the top of the water tower in a worker's residential area in the Gear District, a roar full of sacred flavor exploded. "Knowledge is everything, and the inspiration that forms the source of knowledge is more precious than knowledge——"
As the voice of reciting the teachings of the God of Knowledge echoed at the top of the water tower, the wanderer who had shown off his power in front of Lawrence rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, while streams of white foam oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"High Priest Arthur, I think your [Rebuke Technique] should be temporarily suspended." Lawrence walked to the ladder leading to the top of the water tower and shouted downwards, "We finally caught a man alive, if you
If this continues, this living person will probably turn into a corpse."
"This guy is so inexperienced. I haven't finished reciting the first paragraph of my scripture yet." The voice reciting the teachings of the God of Knowledge at the bottom of the stairs immediately stopped, and then High Priest Arthur, who was wearing a carriage driver's costume, whispered.
Complaining, he climbed up the stairs to the top of the water tower.
Lawrence came here today on the one hand to investigate the source of the epidemic, and on the other hand to try to use himself as bait to lure out the guy who might be causing trouble behind the scenes. And Archpriest Arthur took this opportunity to pretend to be his coachman and hide.
In the dark as a hidden back-up for this operation.
Because Lawrence had previously opened a factory here and was welcomed by the workers as well as his achievements in medicine, it was very reasonable for him to choose to come alone to investigate the situation at this time. It was also because of this reasonableness that he successfully deceived the people behind the scenes.
Black hand.
"This guy is a professional-level rogue." While taking out a special restraint from his arms and tying up the unconscious sneak attacker, High Priest Arthur said to Lawrence. "As a formal-level spellcaster, you
If you are able to corner a rogue who is one level higher than you and is good at fighting in small spaces in such a small space at the top of the water tower without being attacked by surprise, this is already considered very good."
"Thank you for the compliment." A smile immediately appeared on Lawrence's face. With High Priest Arthur's one-note character, if he praises someone, it means that the person has indeed done a good job in some aspects. And as the Holy Ancient
The person in charge of the Doctrine Department of Denburg Cathedral, his accumulated rich experience also makes his judgments on matters related to extraordinary combat power often more objective.
Seeing High Priest Arthur tying this guy up like a rice dumpling, Lawrence asked with some worry: "Um, High Priest Arthur, I think it's too difficult to tie this guy up like this."
The stairs to the top of the water tower are narrow and steep. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb up and down alone. It is definitely not an easy task to lift this guy who is tied up and unable to move.
"Get it down, why do we need to get this guy down?" At this time, High Priest Arthur had just tied up the attacker and stood up. After hearing the question asked by Lawrence, he smiled and explained. "In the city area.
We have better solutions to this problem."
After saying that, he released a magic flame into the air. Five or six minutes later, an airship that looked only the size of a bus appeared above the top of the water tower. There was a black coat of arms on the airbag of this airship, with the words
The silver dye depicts a powerful-looking wrist wielding a flintlock with a flag. There is also a motto written around it in Guradnim: Sword and Shield of the Civilized World.
"The Tribunal?" Lawrence's eyes widened. This is a very loose interracial international organization in the New World. It is divided into branches by region. Each branch basically operates independently, and its leadership is not determined by each country or powerful force.
The organization controls the members. Naturally, the members come from various civilized races.
This organization has only one mission, which is to discover and eradicate all those who pose a threat to the civilized world. Their appearance here means that everyone has been alerted to this matter, and all the forces that can be mobilized have been mobilized.
Mobilized.
Soon two Inquisition judges came down from the airship, wearing silver masks and hiding themselves under black robes with silver patterns. They bowed slightly to Archpriest Arthur and Lawrence and then took out the
Various tools were used, and then the prisoners were tortured.
The torture methods of extraordinary beings seem to be much more civilized than ordinary people's methods, especially with the help of certain potions and magic, it is easy to pry open the mouth of the tortured, especially when these extraordinary beings are not of high level.
when,
After taking off the rags wrapped around their faces, Lawrence and the others found that the attacker was a middle-aged man who looked thin and had a common face. He simply drank a bottle of clear water potion and assisted with some inhumane-looking medicine.
After the magic, everyone quickly got the confession they wanted.
After listening to the confession, a judge stepped forward and began to search the prisoner's body. In addition to finding a bunch of bottles and jars that looked like they were filled with ominous liquids, he also found a bunch of bottles from the prisoner's underwear.
A purple badge was found in the mezzanine.
This badge was purple, with three teardrop-like ambers inlaid on it. The first time he saw this thing, Lawrence recognized what it represented. After all, there were a lot of articles about medicine published a while ago.
After writing the paper about it, he has been paying attention to the power represented by this badge.
"Mrs. Disease, I should have thought of it." High Priest Arthur showed an expression of realization after seeing this badge. If the other party is a member of the Church of Poison and Disease, then his behavior of spreading the disease will be very easy to understand.
Because members of the Church of Poison and Disease have been working hard to spread diseases, and use diseases to kill some wealthy people to plunder their property or to intimidate everyone to hand over their wealth to avoid being harmed by the disease. Therefore, after discovering the identity of the attacker,
Archpriest Arthur, a member of the Church of Poison and Disease, showed an expression of sudden realization.
After obtaining a large amount of information from the sniper, the judge of the Inquisition immediately took out a communicator and transmitted the information. A few minutes later, shouts came from the residential area below.
"I hope no innocent people will be hurt." Lawrence prayed softly after hearing the shouting, but the speed of hammering the red bricks with his crowbar did not slow down at all. After extracting the confession just now, the two judges
He took the prisoners and left directly, while Lawrence stayed behind and worked with High Priest Arthur to deal with the problem in the water storage tank above the water tower.
After adding culture fluid containing typhoid bacilli, some magic props were embedded around the water tank above the water tower by members of the Church of Poison and Disease, and a magic circle was formed through these magic props. It can greatly strengthen those harmful substances.
The causative agent of the disease.
And what Lawrence is doing now is to pry open the red bricks on the wall, take out the magic props, and then completely destroy the magic circle that pollutes the water source.
Since these magic props themselves are relatively fragile, once they are destroyed, they are likely to cause some unpredictable and malignant consequences. Therefore, magic cannot be used in this work. Fortunately, Lawrence brought a crowbar with him, so it took him half an hour to dig completely.
Five leaf-shaped crystal bottles containing some unknown green liquid came out.
"The source of the epidemic, it seems that the spreaders of the epidemic have also invested a lot of money this time!" High Priest Arthur quickly recognized what these palm-sized bottles were, and then took them out of a silk space pocket he carried.
He took out a sterling silver box painted with various runes and put these dangerous items in it.
By the time all of this was done, the commotion in the residential area below had subsided. Through the window on the water tower, Lawrence saw several guys being escorted by armor-clad, heavily armed demon hunters and paranormals affiliated with the federal government.
come out.
"Very good. It seems that the operation went well. We should have caught those guys off guard." High Priest Arthur, who had previously set up a purification magic circle next to the water tank, walked to Lawrence and looked down, "And
