After confirming the location of the treasure marked on the treasure map, Lawrence did not immediately set out to find it. Instead, he calmed down and began to study the three zero-level treasures he had bought from the Church of Knowledge. There were four in total for each level.
magic.
In the next week, except for Wednesday, Lawrence went out to complete the tasks assigned by the guests as agreed upon by everyone. He helped a banker find a pen inlaid with gems that he had lost and knocked out a seven-person pen.
Apart from his gang of thieves, he devoted all his energy to learning magic.
Through continuous learning, Lawrence discovered that not only could he learn additional magic, but also, perhaps because of his own special sorcerer bloodline, some of the magic he learned could actually remain in his mind like the magic passed down through his blood.
A magic pattern forms around you. It can then be used very flexibly like other magic.
Of course, because Lawrence's bloodline power comes from the Bai Ze mythical beast. Therefore, some magic that is not suitable for Bai Ze's attributes is not only difficult to learn, but also requires spells, postures and casting materials to be released. Just like the zero-level one
The same as the necromancy magic [Touch of Fatigue].
Fortunately, the other three magic spells were successfully accepted by Bai Ze's bloodline, so the runes around Bai Ze in Lawrence's mind added two more zero-level spells [Scribe] [Acid Splash] and a first-level spell [Feather].
Falling Technique].
After finishing studying magic, Lawrence started his treasure hunt after dinner on Saturday night. Originally, he wanted to call Saphiel and the others, but today happened to be an important festival for the rat people. Lawrence received a message in the mailbox a week ago.
The letter taken out was a letter from Fatina's grandfather inviting her to go home for the holidays. Saphiel had promised to accompany her new friend to this party a long time ago.
Considering that the risk of his adventure was not very high, Lawrence did not tell the two ladies about it to make them worry. When the two ladies left the office, Lawrence immediately packed up his things and rushed to the destination fully armed.
.
Because it was night, the street looked unusually deserted except for the dim light provided by the gas street lamps. However, there were still single carriages available for rent at the taxi station illuminated by gas lamps.
At this time, the coachmen were gathering together to play some kind of board game or chatting by gas light. When they heard the footsteps and raised their heads, they were all startled by the sight of Lawrence with a pistol in his waist and a rifle on his back.
Fortunately, Lawrence took out his ID and finally stopped the coachmen who were about to run away.
However, when he told where he wanted to go, the coachmen all shook their heads and refused when they heard that he needed to go to the suburbs at this time. Fortunately, under the heavy reward, there must be brave men who raised the fare to three times the daytime fare.
After agreeing to stop and wait at an intersection a few hundred meters away from the coal mine, he finally found a driver who was willing to take him to the suburbs at this time.
"Why is it that when I talk about the Lant Mine, no one is willing to go?" Lawrence asked the coachman his doubts as the carriage started running on the street. "I have also taken a carriage to some places in the suburbs at night.
, but we didn’t have the same situation of being refused boarding just now.”
"Ah, sir." The coachman is a very talkative person, so Lawrence started talking after asking. "This is mainly due to some serious safety issues."
At this point, the coachman gently lifted up the hem of his clothes with his left hand to show Lawrence. Lawrence could clearly see an old-fashioned single-shot front-loading flash pistol in his belt.
"Sir, in fact, people like us who dare to take on such a mission at night have some self-defense weapons. We are not afraid of three or four robbers." The driver put down his clothes and said, "But the place you mentioned
But there is a legendary haunted mine! It is impossible for us to fight against those monsters. If you were not a transcendent, I would not dare to go there."
"Monster?" Lawrence's interest was suddenly aroused. Now the probability of a mage's treasure appearing in that place has greatly increased. After all, the [Identification Technique] identification technique can only identify the information carried by the item itself.
For example, before the magic was able to know that the treasure map had not been opened, it contained the words "A mage's lifelong knowledge accumulation" written on it, but whether that string of words was true, and if it was true, was the mage's note still there?
A series of questions such as the location marked on the picture cannot be answered.
So when the coachman said that there were monsters in the coal mine, Lawrence became excited because he felt that the probability of a mage's note being hidden here had greatly increased.
On his first day as a spell caster, the staff of the Church of Knowledge sternly warned him not to repeatedly release magic for a long time in places without magic protection unless necessary, otherwise the magic power would easily escape after casting.
causing changes in the surrounding environment.
The fact that the coal mine is now haunted is most likely caused by the mage mentioned in the treasure map who conducted experiments there for a long time. As for the fact that it is still haunted to this day, it shows that the place may not have been there since the mage left.
Others have been there, and the treasure is probably still there.
"——In fact, there were legends about hauntings when coal was being mined. People who worked there were easily tired and sick, and there were even accidents and deaths for no apparent reason in the coal mines." The coachman was still chattering while Lawrence was thinking about it.
To be sure, just like the taxi drivers he saw in his previous life, the horsemen here are also a group of well-informed and talkative people. "But until the small mine closed, no priest or demon hunter was hired from the city.
Go and have a look.”
"Is the closure of the coal mine related to the haunting?" Lawrence asked when the driver's mouth was dry and he raised the kettle to drink water. He was a little worried that if too many people died in that place, there would definitely be a big accident today.
trouble.
"No, of course not. If that were the case, I would definitely not dare to pull you over at this time." The coachman put down the kettle and smiled, "It's just that after the canal connecting the Liujin River and the Carlos River was repaired, a large number of northern large-scale
High-quality anthracite coal from near the lake area can be transported easily. Then the bituminous coal with high sulfur content produced by this small coal kiln could not be sold at once, so it was naturally closed down by the boss."
"It was the same when we were mining. Because the coal here was not good, it couldn't be sold at a high price. So the boss was naturally not willing to spend a sum of money to hire people to deal with these problems. As for dead people, mining, how can there be no undead people?
?”
Lawrence didn't ask any questions along the way, but just listened quietly to the coachman's endless stories, until half an hour later the carriage stopped at a dark crossroads.
"This is it, sir." The coachman raised the lantern beside him and looked at the surroundings. With the light emitted by the lantern, Lawrence saw a tattered road sign on the edge of the intersection, marked "Hong Kong Road".
Go straight to the east intersection of the intersection and you will find the Lant Mine.
"I will wait for you in the forest farm hut in front." The coachman pointed to a light in the distance and said to Lawrence. This place is quiet and deserted, and there are no villages. Lawrence knew that the nearest settlement from here is Liu.
A forest farm hut seven hundred meters away. "According to the agreement between the two of us, if you don't come there to find me at six o'clock tomorrow morning, I will go to the St. Gutenberg Cathedral in the city to report the news to you.
"
"Thank you then." Lawrence said, jumped out of the car, adjusted his equipment, and then walked towards the dark hills in the distance that looked like a group of monsters lying there.
