The sewers at night are dark and quiet, with only some chirping insects hiding here occasionally breaking the silence in the sewer space.
Suddenly, a beam of light turned from a dark corner in the sewer. Then the sound of chaotic footsteps falling from a high place echoed in the empty sewer, completely destroying the silence here.
"The road ahead is not very close, but the entire ground has been hardened with cement and red bricks, so it is not difficult to walk." Lawrence came down first and held up a lantern to illuminate the surrounding space. It was as he imagined.
The difference is that after entering the sewers, those extraordinary beings cannot see anything like ordinary people, and must be illuminated by a light source to move forward.
"What's strange about this? None of us here have the talent of dark vision. Naturally, it's impossible to see things in the darkness like the dark elves." After entering the sewer and seeing the confusion on Lawrence's face, High Priest Arthur took the initiative to explain.
.As a clergyman of the Church of Knowledge, he is happy to spread some knowledge, especially when the person he spreads the knowledge to is a person who is favored by him.
"It is true that we have the magic to see things in the dark. But please remember that one of the most basic principles in the use of extraordinary power is to only use extraordinary power when necessary. After all, the magic power a person possesses is limited.
Yes, only by using every bit of magic power in the most important places can we ensure that we have enough magic power to deal with it when we really encounter problems."
"Are you teaching the juniors?" After listening to the conversation between the two people, the leader of the demon hunters asked. "But I don't think he is an extraordinary person."
"If he is willing, he can be one after this operation is over." Arthur said, "The contribution he has made now has enabled our church to provide resources to help him become a transcendent, even though he is only a non-spellcaster.
The extraordinary one."
"Really? That's great. Thank you, High Priest Arthur." Lawrence smiled. Just like extraordinary monsters, although there are not many humans with extraordinary power, they are definitely not rare. Especially for this one
For the middle and upper class people in the world, becoming a transcendent is not an unattainable thing.
Especially for extraordinary beings from the pure physics department, there are enough resources in this world to help ordinary people with basic skills become such extraordinary beings.
However, just like monsters and extraordinary materials, low-level extraordinary beings account for the vast majority of extraordinary humans. However, even the lowest-level apprentice level extraordinary beings can allow them to do things that ordinary people cannot do.
For example, Lawrence knew that Professor Liston when he was in college was a transcendent. Of course, he was only a trainee combatant. But even the most junior physics department transcendent could make him perform surgery.
Always have enough physical fitness, endurance, and accuracy.
Therefore, providing resources to help others become extraordinary has become a recognized method of reward in this world. This time, Lawrence helped the church find a relic related to the lower space and his relationship with the church was enough to allow him to obtain permission from the church.
Get such a resource.
"You're welcome, you deserve this," Arthur said. "And this is also related to your body being very strong. If your body is not strong enough, it will be difficult for us to help you strengthen it."
"We're here." After talking about the issue of extraordinary enhancement, Lawrence led them back to the stone wall at the end of the sewer. At this time, the door on the stone wall was as wide open as when he left before.
It's just that the entrance to the original black hole is now shrouded in a black mist with blood-red light inside.
"Yes, this place is related to the lower plane." Both the staff of the Church of Knowledge and the demon hunters immediately saw the problem with this ruins.
After carefully inspecting it for a few minutes, High Priest Arthur straightened up and said to everyone. "We can confirm that this is just a simple space conversion magic circle. We can go to the real ruins as long as we walk in."
"And the people from the Church of the Lord of the Dawn have already entered." The leading demon hunter walked around in the small open space in front of the stone wall and pointed to a sun carving on the wall next to it that was only the size of a thumb.
"The holy emblem is painted upright. This is what they told us that there is no problem here. And judging from the remaining holy light energy, they have been in for more than half an hour."
After finally checking the alchemy instrument in Lawrence's hand to confirm that it could operate normally, Arthur walked into the cave with the members of the Church of Knowledge.
The demon hunters had already walked in before them. At first, the way they disappeared into the black mist startled Lawrence, but soon the demon hunters sent someone out to tell the people from the Church of Knowledge that there was a person inside.
A huge space filled with the aura of hell.
This made Lawrence know that the black mist blocking the cave was a magic circle that could send people to a designated place.
After everyone entered the cave, Lawrence hung the oil lamp in his hand on a nail that the workers had nailed on the wall next to him for hanging things. At the same time, he hung the pocket watch lent to him by Archpriest Arthur on another wall nearby.
On a nail. Then he stood with his back against the wall in a dark place where the light could not reach, holding a pistol filled with exorcism bullets in each hand.
In the silence of the sewer, Lawrence felt that time seemed to pass very slowly. Finally, in his eyes, the hands of the pocket watch passed fifteen minutes.
"No response." Lawrence looked at the dark cave on the stone wall, and then pressed the blue button on the alchemy instrument. When he finished this action, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the tunnel.
"Have High Priest Arthur solved the problem?" Lawrence thought, and at the same time, he subconsciously pointed two pistols at the entrance of the hole.
As the footsteps approached, a figure walked out of the cave. By the light of the lantern hanging on the wall, Lawrence immediately recognized the guy as one of the gunmen hired by the baron before.
After the gunman came out of the cave, he first glanced at the lanterns on the wall, then unbuttoned his belt and walked towards the corner, seemingly to use the toilet.
Because Lawrence was hiding in the darkness and the lantern attracted his attention, the gunman did not notice Lawrence. Just as he was enjoying his release, footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Hearing the sound, he immediately reached out a hand to reach for the pistol in his waistband. However, before he could move, he felt two hands grabbing his left and right wrists respectively, and then he suddenly lifted them up and back.
"Ah!" The gunman screamed, and he could clearly feel that his joints were being pulled and dislocated. However, as a veteran with rich combat experience, he did not sit still and wait for death, but decisively used his right foot to attack
Back kick.
But at this time, the attacker behind him obviously also guarded against this move. Just when the gunman kicked back, the attacker let go of his arms that could no longer move, and then grabbed the leg he kicked out and pulled it upwards.
Mention.
As a result, the gunner lost his balance and fell forward. What was even more unlucky for him was that because he could not move his arms now, he could only watch his face fall directly into the sand that had just been soaked by him.
"That's disgusting." Lawrence's cheeks twitched when he saw this scene, and then tied the guy up with a rope, ready to ask what was going on inside.
