Just as the police cordoned off, members of the Church of Knowledge, which was closest to here, rushed over. The leader was a priest that Lawrence had never seen before, but Lawrence was sure from the badge on his chest that they were members of the Church of the Faith.
Members of the Ministry's action team.
"Sorry, we are late. Because we have just felt the magic fluctuations here." The leading priest said after saluting Chief Frank, "By the way, who can tell us what happened in this place?"
thing?"
"The situation is like this -" After showing his ID, Lawrence described what just happened. Finally, he handed the notebook with the treasure map in it to the priest in front of him.
"It seems that he is another guy who accidentally got something strange and went astray." After flipping through his notebook, the leading priest shook his head, and then said to Lawrence, who was cleaning up the blood on his face, and everyone present.
"Every year there are people like this who think they have a great opportunity, but in fact they fall into the trap of those evil guys."
After dealing with the monster corpses outside, the sky turned completely dark. Lawrence temporarily joined the team from the Church of Knowledge and walked into the police station together.
After a comprehensive search of the police station, they were fortunate to find that no one was killed in this incident. However, several police officers had some of their life force taken away by the monster just now, and they will probably have to stay in the hospital for a month or two.
Already.
"Obviously, the unlucky lady believed the method in the notebook she found out of jealousy. Then she turned into a demonized snake man through killing and sacrifice." After completing the investigation in the police station, the team leader
The priest began to reconstruct what happened here based on the confessions he asked from the parties and the traces he observed at the scene.
"After the change, she was completely controlled by another evil consciousness and used charm magic to lure several policemen to cut off the connection between the holy emblem placed in the police station and the outside world. Then it manipulated the police to set up some shielding magic circles.
This is why we have never found anything wrong with this place before.”
"Fortunately, although this incident involved the lower space, fortunately no one was killed." The leading priest concluded, "Such an outcome is considered very lucky in this type of incident."
Having said this, he turned his head and looked at Lawrence. "Of course, this is also thanks to you. If you hadn't discovered something was wrong in time and stopped it, the breath of the lower plane would have contaminated a large number of people, and it would have been very troublesome to deal with it by then.
.When I return to the church, I will truthfully report the contribution you made today to the church."
Lawrence nodded. Even though this is a world full of extraordinary beings, most people in the world are just ordinary people. The method of dealing with extraordinary beings in a small police station with only a dozen people is naturally very crude and easy.
It has been targeted and destroyed, so it is inevitable that various problems will sometimes occur.
After concluding the investigation and cleaning up the police station, Lawrence said hello to Chief Frank who was busy directing the police to clean up the scene, and then returned to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral with the action team.
Sheriff Frank felt a little regretful. After all, it was really bad that something like this happened to him for the first time. However, he also made an appointment with Lawrence to treat Lawrence to a good meal again when he was free from work.
The first thing Lawrence did after returning to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral with the action team was to submit an action report to the Doctrine of the Faith. Since the action team just went to clean up the mess today, they went in and just had a brief chat.
The key part of the reporting task naturally fell on Lawrence, the main force of the operation.
After entering the office of the Ministry of Doctrine of the Faith, he simply stood under the bronze holy emblem on the roof and enjoyed a full body magic inspection. After that, the auditor reported everything he encountered today.
"You're doing well, young man." The gray-haired old woman priest showed a kind smile after listening to Lawrence's report. "I rarely see newcomers who have just joined the job on their first mission like you.
You can independently kill a monster one level higher than yourself."
"Higher level?" Lawrence opened his eyes in surprise. "I always thought the fight was so difficult because I was a newcomer and not very good at fighting."
"No, no, no, adult demonized snake-men are all official-level monsters." The female priest in front of him said, "Fortunately, the one you met was just an ordinary human being who was mutated after being contaminated, and its overall strength has been reduced.
Level one. In addition, the newly transformed demonized snake-man will be in confusion for a period of time. But even so, her overall strength is still one level higher than you."
"It seems that I am indeed lucky enough, or unlucky enough." Lawrence, who was sitting in the chair, thought that he had faced enemies stronger than him twice in a row recently, although he had won both operations.
He gained a lot of benefits from it, but he still sincerely hoped that something like this would never happen again.
"By the way, because your action represents the Church of Knowledge. So we will give you the reward you deserve after everything is calculated tomorrow." Looking at Lawrence as if he was thinking about something, the priest broke the silence.
"Now you can go to the cafeteria to have a meal and then take a nap. According to my experience, newcomers like you generally need to relax after completing their first mission."
After thanking the priest who exuded maternal nature, Lawrence left the office. After going out, he first went to the cafeteria to order a midnight snack. Normally, Lawrence could not eat the midnight snacks in the cafeteria because these midnight snacks were free.
Yes, only for those who return from missions.
After eating two French bread filled with roast beef and other various fillings, Lawrence returned to his room to wash up, then went to bed and sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
After becoming a Baize Warlock, Lauren naturally acquired a set of Bai Ze's meditation methods buried in the blood inheritance. It's just that this meditation method was not made known to him through memory infusion, but when he was asleep.
Then it started to run automatically. So it was only today when he confirmed that he had almost memorized the operation rules of this meditation method that he tried to meditate actively.
As soon as the thought occurred, Lawrence's consciousness was immersed in his mind. In his sight, the shadow of Bai Ze floated in the sky above his mind, raising his head and flying in a mysterious trajectory.
As the shadow flew, various light points quickly gathered from outside the sea of consciousness and were swallowed by the white shadow. After entering the white shadow, these light points began to shatter and reorganize, until they finally became unified.
White light spots of different sizes and shapes merge into the white shadow.
After each point of light was integrated into the source of magic power that formed the existing Bai Ze Phantom, Lawrence would feel a little stronger. After observing carefully for a while again, Lawrence began to exert his will on the Bai Ze Phantom.
Infused with will, Bai Ze's phantom flew much faster, and the speed of absorbing and transforming light points was also increased. According to Lawrence's analysis, if you actively practice, your growth rate will be increased by half in the same period of time.
about.
According to previous observations, a bulging feeling will appear in the mind after about an hour of practicing, and the meditation will automatically stop at this time.
It was the same today. After resting for an hour, the feeling reappeared. Lawrence found that no matter how he activated Bai Ze's shadow, no more light would come in from the sea of consciousness.
"It seems that this is all we can do now." Lawrence thought, stopped meditating, then adjusted his posture and lay on the bed. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
