In the lobby of the detective agency, everyone gathered in front of a table and watched Lawrence use a small blade to pry little by little along the cracks on the statue after being burned. As the knife moved, the crispy surface of the statue that had been burned by the fire also
It started to shake.
"Pa." When Lawrence picked up the knife again, a thumb-sized piece of char fell from the body of the statue. Looking inward through the gap, Lawrence saw some silver-gray fur.
"It feels a bit strange. It looks like the fur of some kind of animal." Sephiel frowned when he also saw the thing inside. "But this fur should be a very precious thing. Think about it, it has been burned after being burned by fire."
There was no trace of overdoing it after that.”
"It makes sense." Lawrence nodded, and then began to clean up the hole. After 15 minutes, Lawrence cleaned out a soft silver-gray fur from the middle of the char.
"We made a lot of money this time." After releasing the appraisal again, Lawrence raised the fur and said to the two ladies. Saphiel and Fatina found that this thing looked like a pocket.
"This is a space bag made from the brood pouch of the queen of the nest rat." Lawrence said directly without giving away the details. "The nest rat is an extraordinary creature unique to the southern continent. Its social structure is similar to that of bees or ants. Among them, the rat
The last nest rat is responsible for giving birth and commanding the rat group."
"Among them, the queen of nest rats has a pouch with space capabilities. Once their underground nest is destroyed but cannot be stopped, the queen will put all the young rats into this pouch and escape. And the local
After the aboriginal people discovered this, they killed the rat queen and removed its pouch. Then they used some special techniques to create the kind of space pocket we see now."
"Let me see how much space there is inside this thing?" After explaining, Lawrence used his mental energy to explore the space bag in his hand. He had just passed the [Identification Technique] and already knew that this was a safe and ownerless space bag.
It turned out that it did have magic traps, but as time went by the traps disappeared.
"This can hold 30 cubic meters of stuff." After checking it, Lawrence said: "And it's a space of two meters by three meters by five meters. We are very lucky."
There is a reason why Lawrence said this. Because there are many space equipments that are not this square shape, which leads to insufficient space utilization, and this cube is the shape with the highest space utilization rate.
"30 cubic meters." Saifei's eyes widened. She knew what this meant. "I remember that if you need such a large space and the space is very regular, a space bag costs at least about 20,000 yuan."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that stingy guy gave us a good thing. It can be seen that good luck or bad luck is always changing." Lawrence showed a smile on his face. The guy just now was so careless and took advantage of everything.
He was very angry, but now it seemed that God had sent this good thing to him.
After some sighs, the seemingly palm-sized space bag was tied to Lawrence's belt. After a brief discussion, everyone agreed that the space bag could be shared by three people, but Lawrence would usually carry it.
In a fit of excitement, everyone finished the lunch that Seifer bought from the stall in the next block. After the meal, Lawrence originally planned to go to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral to see if there was any suitable mission for everyone. But he hadn't left yet.
I saw a middle-aged woman wearing dark green outdoor clothes, a soft hat of the same color on her head, and holding a small parasol in her hand and walked in.
"Is your place a Tuofan Detective Agency?" After entering the door, she saw Lawrence and was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion. "I remember that the owner of this store should be a lady."
"You are right, the owner of the shop is a lady." Lawrence said, calling Sephiel downstairs and leaving the room. After all, he knew that sometimes it was not suitable for men to appear when ladies were talking.
Nearby.
When he came to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral, Lawrence found that there were not many tasks suitable for him. Because he was worried that the problem that the lady Bu had encountered after coming to the door just now was more complicated, so he just wanted to find a short and quick task to complete. But the city
There are not many such tasks in the district.
"That's it." After a brief inspection, Lawrence selected a mission, which was related to the sewers of the Dolphin District. Some rat people discovered that there were suddenly many sludge monsters in the sewers near the cave where they lived.
.So I hope someone can investigate where these things come from.
"Is there a sudden appearance of a sludge monster? It doesn't sound like a big threat." After receiving the mission, Lawrence took a public carriage and rushed to the dolphin area in the south. Soon he arrived at the predetermined location. A hairy man was
The gray rat men received him.
"Are you from the Church of Knowledge? You came just in time. In the past week, the number of sludge monsters running down the sewers to the entrance of our cave has been nearly ten times the number in the past. Although they are easy to deal with, they are really
There are so many that it has now affected our daily business and production of alchemy products.
"Please take me directly there, I'm ready." Lawrence said and went down to the underground sewer with the rat man. Then they raised the bull's-eye lantern they had prepared in advance and walked forward.
As they moved forward, sludge monsters the size of washbasins crawled out of the cracks in the buildings and the sewage. Lawrence and the others had to pay attention to avoid them. Although these monsters can turn into a puddle of slippery with just two hits with a stick.
organic matter, but Lawrence and the others don’t want to waste time on these guys right now.
Seven or eight minutes later, they came to an underground water collection pond. There were several tunnel entrances around the pond. At one of the deeper tunnel entrances, there were two people wearing leather armor, with daggers hanging on their waists, and in their hands.
A ratman holding a handful of short-barreled shotgun stood guarding the entrance to the passage.
"We're here," the rat man who led the way said, "This is the place where a large group of sludge monsters ran out a week ago. But we still haven't found where they came from."
"Let me see -" Lawrence nodded to the rat man who was leading the way, and then started to circle around the collection pond the size of a basketball court.
[Detect Magic] After turning around but finding nothing, Lawrence cast magic. As the magic was cast, he found a trace of magic light appearing on the water.
"Over there -" Looking at the trace, Lawrence said hello and followed the magical aura, because he found that the aura was slowly dissipating. And the rat man who led him before heard the greeting
Then he immediately took out a copper whistle from his body and blew it hard. Soon five or six fully armed rat men rushed out from the tunnel guarded by two people, and then chased in the direction where Lawrence had just run.
Following the traces left by Lawrence, the group of rat men chased out for nearly 200 meters through the dense network of pipes. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot from the front, and then a pipe exploded from the side.
A ball of fire.
"Squeak, hurry up and follow." The rat man who led the way before turned his head and said to the heavily armed rat man team behind him. "Our friend just now may have encountered some problem. Let's go over now and see what happened.
