Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age
Chapter 99 She is here to destroy my Taoist heart! (Update 23 for first order)
"Cordo deep-sea abalone, snow mushrooms from Simon Snow Mountain, cheese from Klande..."
On the way back, according to the menu provided by Euan, Wayne and Carly went around to the high-end store in the Ruhr neighborhood to buy these ingredients.
"You can buy more snow mushrooms and cheese, but not the abalone... Are you sure Euan said these are what I like to eat?"
"Isn't it?"
Carly thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, this is not what I like to eat."
"It's up to you," but Wei En didn't go into details and put the deep-sea abalone back on the shelf. "There are still 16 shillings left. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Um...is that okay?"
"...Is that grass?"
Wei En looked in the direction of her finger. There was only a green vegetable with tiny leaves?
"You're just eating grass? That's obviously the green jade produced in Kelland." Carly said angrily.
"Sure, anyway..."
Anyway, You An has paid the money, so just listen to her.
"bought it."
With that said, the two of them walked towards the Golden Street carrying large and small bags of things.
It is worth mentioning that Wayne also bought a white skirt in the store, which cost him nearly 1 gold pound.
Carly blushed inexplicably for a long time, but in the end she realized that it was not for her, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to get in.
However, he is really caring, and he is willing to spend money to buy clothes for an undead creature as a gift...
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Wei Encai realized belatedly that the sky was already covered with clouds, and a storm was brewing.
It has been more than ten days since he came to this world, and this is the first time he has encountered rainy weather.
No, counting the time my predecessor was here, it only rained once in more than a hundred days.
It's quite a strange phenomenon, especially for a city like Custer that is so close to the sea.
Carly also discovered this, "Go quickly, it seems like it's going to rain."
"Um."
There were people on the road who were in the same hurry as them. Most of them wanted to finish some things before the last bell rang, so they were outside.
During the day, the believers who had hated the Division of Secrets for disrupting the dawn celebration stopped making bad remarks when they saw the uniforms they were wearing.
This made Wei En feel strange. He thought that these Dawn believers would keep holding on to the people in their Secret Adjustment Department, but he didn't expect that they wouldn't last even a day.
The two ran in silence for a while, and Carly suddenly asked: "Wayne, last time you said that Dawn of Faith was fake, right?"
"It doesn't count..." Wei En looked at Carly's clean eyes and couldn't continue the lies on his lips, so he could only nod and admit, "We are still far away from the road of faith in the dawn."
"I knew it. When Melbell told me this, I still didn't believe it. It turns out that you are really not a believer in Dawn..."
Wei En didn't know how to explain this matter. The forbidden object, the resurrected coffin, was still in the confidential stage, especially not disclosed to the people of Dawn Church.
"Then have you ever thought about truly embarking on the path of faith and becoming a believer in Dawn?"
Wei En hesitated, shook his head and refused: "I won't consider it."
The dawn and the storm are all just a shelter in a gorgeous coat. In contrast, the Despair Sect of the Eternal Life Society and his ilk were so bad and pure that he avoided them.
Moreover, it was difficult for him to place his hopes on the Lord of the Dawn.
No, to be more precise, it will not be placed on any divine master.
From the beginning to the end, Wayne's goal has not changed. He just wants to live well in this world, that's all.
Carly nodded frustratedly, "I know."
She didn't know why she felt so uncomfortable when she heard Wei En's rejection.
It was just like the morning when I heard that the Dawn Believers were hostile to the Secret Service, and that Melbell had taken action against Wei En.
In front of her, Melbell was a very gentlemanly and polite knight, generous, kind, and kind... But externally, he was cold, cruel, and even bloodthirsty.
It seemed that everyone around her had changed and was no longer as beautiful as she had thought before.
Maybe, that's how it was originally?
"Sister Carly, don't think so much. When you go back, cook a delicious meal and take a rest so that you can work better tomorrow."
Wei En didn't know what she was thinking, but he clearly felt that she was not in a good mood. After a symbolic word of comfort, he didn't know what to say next.
This is not about picking up girls. He has the skills to find topics to chat with, so he might as well go back to his residence early, study knowledge, and improve his strength.
"Um."
Carly nodded slightly, her big bright eyes lowered, anyone who was not blind could tell that she was depressed.
"It would be great if I thought like you..."
"Um?"
"I mean, I longed to become a saint of the Dawn Church, but now..."
Wayne didn't expect to hear this from Carly, so he thought for a while and said, "Then what do you expect? Is it the fame you get after becoming a saint, or do you want to take on the responsibilities of a saint?"
"Me," Carly was stunned for a moment. Was her goal expected?
She remembered that when she was very young, Euan had just moved her to the city of Custer and opened the Morris Clinic.
Every day, she follows Youan to face all kinds of "sick" people.
Some of them suffered from diseases, some were injured and bled a lot, and most of them were polluted people whose bodies became deformed.
Euan will deal with their symptoms one by one, especially those with deformed species, and will always cut off the deformed parts of their bodies...
They all seemed to be in great pain, screaming and wailing every time, and their voices were extremely harsh.
Therefore, from that time on, she made up her mind to embark on the path of Dawn Faith, hoping to become a priest who could protect people from disasters, diseases, pollution...
Those scenes were like clear pictures, passing through her heart, as if they were forming a book of memories that she could read at all times.
Carly came back to her senses, as if she had also found herself dazed, and said sweetly: "Maybe I just want to punish all evil."
"Sanctions?"
Wayne looked at Carly with a bright smile in surprise, as if it was the first day he met her. According to his understanding of Carly, the answer he shouldn't answer at this time is - cure?
"Yes, this will save many people from pain, sadness, and despair... Yes, this is what I have expected to happen since I was a child."
"Is that so...huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Wei En saw Melbell's hateful figure appearing at the intersection of Golden Street.
It’s so haunting, I saw him again!
After thinking about it, Wei En still looked at the figure with vigilance, ready to use the blinking spell to escape at any time.
"Melbel," Carly also noticed him, "Why are you here? I'm warning you not to hurt Wayne, do you understand?"
"As commanded, Your Majesty."
From the beginning to the end, Melbell's eyes never left Carly's figure, and she seemed to have not seen and had no awareness of Wayne next to her.
"But you came just in time. We bought a lot of delicious food. Would you like to come too?" Carly looked at him expectantly.
"No, I'm just passing by..."
"Come on, you're welcome." Carly grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the golden street.
Wayne: "..."
Well, it seems that the dinner plan for the evening has been ruined...
…
…
At the same time, in a secret dark room, there were more than a dozen figures sitting at a long table.
Each of them wears a gorgeous crown or headdress, robes representing noble status embroidered with the family's coat of arms, and accessories with jewelry or gold ornaments.
At the head of the long table, there is a handsome young man with broad shoulders and thick black long hair, which highlights his noble appearance.
Everyone was sitting on the black high-backed chairs with calm expressions, either holding their arms or playing with the objects in their hands unconsciously, glancing in the direction of the door from time to time.
Thump, thump thump...
"coming."
Saiyam pushed the door open and walked in. After scanning everyone, he walked to the end of the long table without saying a word.
A smile appeared on the young man's face, he picked up the wine glass on the table, "Everyone, praise the glory!"
"To the great glory!"
Everyone raised their glasses together, as if cheering for victory.
But the moment he put down the glass, one of the middle-aged men with a gentle face looked at the end of the glass and said, "You shouldn't take action against him, Old Serres."
"He knows too much." Saiyam was unmoved, lowering his head and playing with the ring on his finger.
"He is just an ordinary investigator. There are many ways to force him to give up the investigation. But your action just now almost caused things to go astray. The lady of the Montoya family will not care about anything else."
"Don't be so harsh, Golden,"
Another very magnetic voice sounded, "Fortunately, the goal this time has been achieved. Thanks to Saiyam, the Black Pearl's attention has been successfully attracted to the west coast. Next..."
"But, I lost three sons!"
"Didn't I leave one for you? That third young master, remember, his name is Bean, right?"
"I said, I suffered heavy losses this time, and you need to compensate the Seres family!" Saiyam looked up and glanced around, and finally landed on a young man at the end of the long table.
"What do you think, Mr. Lanl Ernst?"
"Of course I agree with your request, and I believe that everyone here will not refuse it." Laner smiled gently and acted very gracefully. "If you have other requests, you can also put them forward."
"I want half a percent more!"
"Impossible! Saiyam, this plan is..."
"Okay, Golden, Old Seres's request is not too much... Well, I agree, what about you?"
"agree."
"Seconded."
"..."
Seeing this, Saiyam forced a smile on his face and said, "Thank you all."
"That's it, let's go back and prepare."
The dozen or so figures present, except Golden, all stood up and left calmly.
When everything calmed down, only Laner was still sitting at the top, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, "I want to thank you for your help this time, so that there are no accidents in the plan."
"Oh? Then how do you want to thank me?"
A figure stepped out of the void, and it was the favored one of the Lord of Desire—Mitra!
…
…
In the end, Wayne finally tasted Carly's craftsmanship, cheese and salt-baked snow mushrooms, and green jade bibimbap.
The taste is surprisingly good - indeed, the only drawback of expensive ingredients is that they are expensive!
A meal costs nearly 2 gold pounds. What kind of family can afford it?
Wei En cursed for a moment, patted his overstuffed belly and stood up, "I'm so full, I'm going back first."
Like Melbell, he also ignored the other party's existence and didn't look there at all.
"Okay, thank you for helping with the dishes today, and I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"I'm leaving first too."
"Hey? Are you all leaving?"
Carly watched the two people leaving, and after thinking about it, she chose not to follow them out. Melbell had promised her that she would not take action against Wayne, and she still believed it.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear the sound of fighting outside.
"Hehe, maybe the two people who have never dealt with each other will eventually become friends, just like Euan and Na... Na, who are you with? Forget it, I don't remember."
But what she didn't know was that Mel Bell, who had walked to the door, looked at Wei En, who was on guard, and whispered: "You'd better keep a distance from me, otherwise, the sword will definitely fall on your head last night." superior!"
After saying that, he walked away without caring about Wei En's reaction.
[You are targeted by Melbell Osiris’ murderous intent. Evaluation: Good luck, the other party is full and probably doesn’t want to eat snacks. Reward: Survival Points +2. 】
"Your Majesty..."
The person this guardian knight cares about most is really Carly.
Wei En calmly glanced at the place where he disappeared, turned around and opened the door of his residence. That's fine, I just want to put a musket in your mouth and blow your head off!
He came to the second floor and saw Miss Zombie waiting at the stairs. He smiled and handed her the bag in his hand, "I bought you a new skirt. Let's try it on?"
"skirt?"
A red light flashed in Sharapova's pale eyes, and she stared blankly at the bag in her hand.
This was the first time in her countless undead career.
"Sorry, your skirt was damaged before, so I just wanted to give you a new one..."
Whoosh, bang.
Wayne looked at the zombie lady who quickly turned away and disappeared into the room, "...I hope you like it."
Dang, Dang Dang...
"Boom!"
At this time, along with the sound of the night bell, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.
Wayne returned to the attic bedroom and looked at the heavy rain outside the window and the small night sky.
Damn, I really saw a ghost.
I saw that in the night sky with heavy clouds and heavy rain, the red moon was still very clear, as if its position was lower than the clouds!
But he knew very well that that was impossible.
"Isn't the red moon's pollution power unaffected in any way?"
So far, Wayne only knows one power that can avoid pollution, and that is the light of the Dawn Church, including lanterns, street lamps and candles.
Apart from that, there is nothing more.
Tsk, what are you thinking about? The distance is too far.
Wayne opened the pocket watch tool box and took out several tools of the intelligence officer, including a telephone, a typewriter and a blue and white box.
"Batman has one identity during the day and another at night. I am also an investigator during the day and an intelligence officer at night, but why is the gap so big?"
Not to mention spending a lot of money to buy the farm owner, the bank, for a farm, at least let him get rid of the sanctions of black bread every day, right?
Wayne shook his head to dispel these random thoughts, "Work, work, there are still many tasks today."
Yesterday, because he lived in the parliament, he didn't have the wool to gather ghosts. He couldn't miss anything he said today.
Thinking of this, he burst out with inspiration, and quickly tapped the "typewriter", writing thousands of words eloquently.
"August 15, 1578 in the New Calendar. I'm sorry, but the city-state of Custer held a grand celebration in the past two days. The Church of Dawn announced that its candidate for a saint will go to the Secret Adjustment Department to study..."
"In addition, I also discovered that the Black Pearl attacked the cargo ship in the port in order to force the nobles who owned ships in the Custer City State to hand it over..."
"On the road of pursuing knowledge, death is not the end - the story of Wayne Loft, intelligence officer of the Custer City State."
The celebration must be reported. If he didn't report such a big thing, the shadows would also report it.
And the reason why I chose to report one more piece of information about the Black Pearl... was for no other reason than to make more money. After all, I should give him an extra hundred and ten gold pounds, right?
Clang.
coming.
Wayne quickly opened the blue and white box. When he saw the contents in the box, the smile on his face froze, "6, 6 pennies??"
Fuck, why are there so few this time?
Remember last time, just reporting a piece of information that he thought was not that important was worth a few gold pounds. Why this time?
As everyone knows, Olivia Tapea, the liaison officer of the Intelligence Department who is far away in Kelland, is playing with his information with a happy face at this time, "Huh, I'll take all the money for you!"
Wei En took out the money from the box depressedly, "What happened? The liaison officer's relatives are here again?"
Fortunately, he completed the commission from Seres Manor today and received a sum of gold pounds. Otherwise, he would have had to stay up all night to make potions so that he could sell them in the Nightmare World.
Thinking like this, he took out the exchange list, looked at the names of the items on it and the gold pounds required for exchange, and recorded them on the parchment.
After several recent battles, he has a clear judgment on his own strength.
The advantage is that he has a strong ability to continue fighting. Whether it is the recovery ability of the disaster species contract or the instant death trigger of the death characteristic, his fighting process is infinitely prolonged.
To put it bluntly, he can torture his opponent through consumption. As long as the opponent reveals a flaw, he can hold on to it.
But the shortcoming is more obvious, that is, it cannot break the defense of those with strong melee capabilities...
This has nothing to do with his own magic power, it is simply because his current attack method is too single, and the attack strength relies purely on the power of the gun.
Therefore, when choosing spells, Wei En focused on spells that were powerful and could target melee extraordinary beings.
At the same time, he also chose two additional defensive spells - bone wall and spiritual shield, which are the most commonly used spells by wizard apprentices of the undead and occult systems.
"Defensive spell, 15 gold pounds, that's 30 gold pounds...attack spell, 50 gold pounds? Plus another one, the difference is 20 gold pounds..."
Wei En looked at the items on the list, frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that he could only go to the nightmare world first.
Well, there's no rush to learn new potions. Let's exchange some materials for making enlightenment potions first.
Just do whatever comes to mind. He has been promoted to a senior wizard apprentice and has nothing to hide.
I went to the Ghost School directly through the blue and white box to redeem 50 materials for making enlightenment potions.
At 15 shillings a portion, a perfect grade can be sold for 3 gold pounds - enough!
Of course, he was not stupid enough to make perfect potions, but made them according to the ratio of 113, which is more of an excellent level.
At the same time, he will not sell it all at once this time, but will keep a part of the perfect level for his own use.
It took Wei En nearly two hours to make 50 enlightenment potions.
Among them, 10 bottles are of excellent grade, 10 bottles are of excellent grade, and 30 bottles are of perfect grade... If 15 bottles are kept for personal use, the remaining potion should be sold for more than 60 gold pounds.
Compared with the cost of materials, it is only equivalent to double the benefits.
"Sure, that's how it should be for insurance purposes."
Boom.
Amid the roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, as if it was about to shatter the brilliance of the red moon.
Um?
Wayne turned his head and took a look, his breathing became stagnant, and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.
Under the dim red moon outside the window, a huge monster came from the depths of the gray fog accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Countless tentacles were circling, twisting and extending, as if they were trying to swallow the entire city-state.
"This, what is this?"
[You have spied on the deep sea monster Rasim, and your origin is about to change. Rating: Close your eyes! Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】
[Note 1: The deep-sea monster Rasim is a huge and grotesque aberration, the overlord of the deep sea, with the ability to change the ocean and weather. 】
[Note 2: The deep sea monster Rasim hates the gaze of others, and usually chooses to blind the peepers. 】
Before Wei En could react, he felt his head suddenly hit the ground, and heard a charming scolding from behind: "You even dare to look directly at that monster, are you willing to die?"
"K, Claire?" Wayne covered his head and sat on the ground looking at the person coming, "You, why are you here again?"
Claire sat down on the chair next to her and crossed her legs naturally, "Is this how you treat a lady who just saved your life?"
Pink, definitely pink...
Wei En was sure to see clearly that she actually chose to walk away today just like him - what did this goblin want to do?
"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Claire looked at his dull look, "Isn't it because you were poked in the eye?"
"No, no."
Wei En came to his senses and quickly closed the curtains, not daring to look outside again.
"I thought you were just faking it before, but now I believe it. You really don't know much about common sense."
"Well, thank you for saving me just now."
"That's the right thing to say~"
Claire touched her wet clothes, with a look of disgust on her face, "The rain in Custer smells like the sea, it's really unpleasant."
"..."
Wayne looked at Claire, who was just like a normal family woman... under her skirt that was soaked by the rain...
"Would you like to take a shower first? It's right next door."
"Oh? Then I'll borrow it first and talk about it later."
Seeing Claire squirming out of the studio, Wayne quickly took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting posture. It was really just a little bit obvious before it became obvious.
Wayne kept thinking about the giant deep-sea beast he had just seen, and the ugly image instantly dispelled Claire's figure in his mind.
Only then did he suppress his restless emotions.
Really, why is she here again?
But you are still so unrestrained, just to destroy my Taoist heart!
I hope she leaves soon, otherwise tonight's plan will be ruined again...
Not long after, Claire finished rinsing, changed into a clean skirt with a shorter hem, and walked over with a refreshing fragrance.
"I didn't expect that you, an apprentice of the Ghost School, are so different from others. Except for that little zombie, there is nothing more disgusting."
Wei En's face returned to normal, "What are the other apprentices like?"
"Hmm," Claire thought: "Dirty, with the smell of decaying corpses, and a gloomy face..."
"Then I don't think you are like the member of the Eternal Life Society described in the Department of Secrets..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wei En felt a little regretful. Why did this sound so flattering?
"Really? I'll take it as a compliment from you."
"What's the matter with you coming here so late? It's only been less than a day, and I haven't started investigating the matter you mentioned yet."
Claire sat next to him, with a pitiful look on her pretty face, "I really came to stay with you this time..."
Wayne: "..."
Sure, she is here to destroy my Taoist heart!
PS: This chapter is a two-in-one chapter to make up for what is owed from the two chapters. Currently, I still owe everyone one chapter for the first subscription and one chapter for the monthly subscription.
Wow, I want to raise the threshold for monthly tickets and updates next month.
