Twenty minutes later, Lawrence walked out of the Red and Black Weapons Store with his previous gains. The dwarf waved goodbye to him at the door of the weapon store with a smile on his face.
"I actually spent 1,200 yuan in such a short time. Sure enough, things related to extraordinary power are the most expensive in the world." After turning a corner and making sure that no one was around, Lawrence suddenly stopped and smiled inexplicably.
Come out. After all, he has never spent so much money on shopping in his whole life, and this sudden lavishness is a bit uncomfortable.
Ten minutes later, amid the clatter of horse hooves and the crisp ringing of bells on the horse's neck, Lawrence returned to the detective office on Lime Tree Street.
After giving the coachman a few coins to pay the fare, he stepped out of the carriage and glanced at the mailbox at the door out of habit. What surprised him was that there was something in the mailbox today.
"I remember no one in the office seemed to subscribe to the newspaper." Lawrence pulled out the letter with a puzzled look on his face, only to find that in addition to some words, there was a blue paw print on the envelope.
"This should be sent to her by Fatina's family or friends." After looking at the recipient on the envelope, Lawrence opened the door and walked into the room, only to find that there was no one in the living room. But this is normal. Because he
Before setting off this morning, I heard that Saphiel had a commission to handle, and Fatina should be preparing some kind of medicine in the laboratory on the third floor.
As the granddaughter of an alchemist who specializes in potions, Fatina is quite talented in making various potions. For example, a large part of the medicinal materials that Lawrence bought today were purchased for her.
When we came back for supper yesterday, Lawrence told Fatina that he was going to participate in the competition between the countries in the New World. After hearing the news, the rat girl volunteered to prepare some extra potions for her friend Lawrence.
It is well known that the rat people have some unique ideas in the production of magic potions. However, because these potions are rarely circulated outside, the news about their effectiveness is only limited to some friends of the rat people from other races.
It's just spread out.
As a friend of Fatina, Lawrence knew that these rumors circulated in private were true. Due to their living environment, the rat people had their own unique methods for treating plagues, magic curses, and trauma.
So after looking at the Do Not Disturb sign hanging at the door of the laboratory from the stairs on the third floor, Lawrence directly stuffed the letter through the crack in the door, then shook his head and returned to his room on the second floor.
After entering the room, he first sorted the things he bought today into categories, and then took out the four gun parts that he had taken from the black shelf of the weapons store from a cardboard box containing waste paper and placed them on the table.
The types of goods on the shelf in the previous weapons store were extremely complex, ranging from the oldest fire door guns to the most advanced smokeless rifles, as well as some very strange-looking privately-made weapons. But they were all in serious condition.
Damage or the condition of the parts. It took Lawrence a lot of time to pick out what he wanted.
The selected parts were a four-edged bayonet with a thin layer of rust on it, a rusty pistol, a wooden gun stock that looked moldy, and a copper sword handle covered with green rust.
.
"Let me see what you are all about?" Lawrence whispered to himself, and then he began to clean up the four things on the table.
The items he selected were all items that had a magical aura reaction after casting magic. Among them, the wooden gun butt and sword hilt were carefully inspected and he found that they had traces of modification. It was as if someone had modified them to hide people's eyes.
The same goes for storage utensils. Unfortunately, because there were so many things to choose from, Lawrence didn't use an [Identification Technique] on every item, so he didn't know what was inside.
"It feels like opening a treasure chest. I wish I had a little red hand." Lawrence muttered and started to clean up these two things with a knife and tweezers. Soon, he discovered the secrets hidden in these things.
The wooden stock belongs to a standard military flintlock rifle from a hundred years ago. Based on the rough goblin portrait on the stock, Lawrence can probably tell that the owner of this gun should have been deployed by the Federation in those fortresses on the border between civilization and wilderness.
A member of the garrison.
These armies were often tasked with guarding the borders of civilization and destroying surrounding monsters, so they would have some extra income. Therefore, such positions were very popular at the time, especially at that time when military pay was very low.
And now what Lawrence found inside the gun butt was what the owner of the gun butt had hidden inside. Opening the blackened oil paper bag, Lawrence poured out a dozen grains of gold sand ranging from the size of mung beans to peanuts and a
Button-shaped wooden badge.
The previous magical aura came from this badge. If I read it correctly, it should have a soul defense magic item attached to it, which is the same type of thing as the amulet that the adoptive father first gave to Lawrence. It is a pity that this kind of ordinary magic item does not exist.
What could have escaped the passing of time has now been completely scrapped.
The condition of the sword hilt was even worse. After using special iron scissors to cut open the wrapped copper, only an iron badge that was also scrapped was revealed.
The bayonet covered with thin rust was completely mistaken by Lawrence, because it was just an ordinary bayonet currently equipped by the military. The reason for the magic aura was that the wood patch on the handle of the knife had been replaced.
, someone replaced the original defective patch with a piece knocked off a certain monster tribe's totem.
After seeing these three things, Lawrence was just picking the goods based on his feelings. Lawrence focused on the rusty muzzle-loading firing pistol. After he carefully used a small hammer and tweezers to break open the severely rusted bullet cylinder. Sure enough,
A silver capsule about the same size as a bullet was found inside the rust fragments formed after the broken barrel.
Unscrewing the capsule, Lawrence took out a thin piece of fabric from inside. After unfolding it, he found that the piece of fabric indeed showed a map hiding something as he had seen with [Identification Technique] before.
"The information given by [Identification Technique] before was that this place contains all the information and notes collected by a very lonely mage in his life. The location is near Eagle Castle." Lawrence unfolded the map and scratched it with his index finger.
My own hair. "But the question is, where is the location marked on this map?"
Because the map that appeared in front of him was a colonial-style map, and the urban area of Eagle Castle in that era had changed so much compared to today, that Lawrence would have determined that it was a colonial map if he hadn't used his mutated identification skills.
As for the Eagle Fort map, he didn't even know where it was drawn when he got it.
Fortunately, the entire Eagle Castle was slowly developed with the large island at the mouth of Liujin River as the core, so after using the course of Liujin River as the positioning point, Lawrence spent some time to finally determine this location.
The location of the treasure.
"This should be the Lant Mine now?" Lawrence frowned after determining the location of the treasure spot. "The map shows that this is a small coal mine that has been abandoned for decades. Why did the miners back then
