Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

"I discovered a big secret, do you want to hear it?"

Big secret?

Wayne looked at her suspiciously, "What secret has to do with me?"

"Of course, how about it? Are you interested?"

"No."

Claire curled her lips, "Are you already an extraordinary person, or are you a wizard of the Ghost School who claims to pursue the true meaning of knowledge and is not even afraid of death, so you are so timid?"

"This is not called timidity, but caution." Wei En said seriously, "This world is so dangerous, only by being cautious can you live longer."

If I hadn't been targeted by you, I would be safer now.

"...really not interested?"

"Not interested in."

"Then I have to tell you."

Wayne: "..."

When you co-author it, you just want to find someone to share it with, right?

Claire said enthusiastically: "Today I discovered that Director Alais of your Secret Service Department and Bishop Andrews of the Dawn Church were meeting secretly, and they looked very familiar."

"Impossible. I heard that what he hates the most is people from the church, especially the Dawn Church. How could they meet in private?"

Director Alles and Andrews?

Wayne's first reaction was disbelief.

You know that Director Alais interrupted the Lord of Dawn's gaze at that celebration in front of most of the city-state. How could he be familiar with Bishop Andrews?

"Believe it or not," Claire said without arguing, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "You have to be careful about your director, he is not like what you see..."

Wayne was dubious about her words, but he did not rule out the possibility that Director Alais and Bishop Andrews were really familiar with each other.

After all, Director Alais has been in Custer City State for many years, and he can be said to have known the people of Dawn Church.

Just like he and Melbell didn't like each other, didn't they have a meal together yesterday?

Moreover, what does it have to do with him that the director is familiar with the bishop?

Such a big shot is too far away from him.

"So, it was the director who injured you tonight?"

"Of course not, it's another old guy with a weird temper," Claire's smile faltered and she said unhappily: "I'm going to kill him sooner or later."

"Yes, yes, but I see the injuries on your body, it's obvious that you can't beat him."

"Oh? Mr. Apprentice, I can't beat him, but you are weaker than me, right?"

Wei En pretended not to hear. It would be easier to get beaten if he remained silent at this time. "Is there anything else? I'm going to get busy."

Claire narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the bell expanded twice before slowly spitting it out, "Have you encountered any cases in the past two days?"

Wei En's expression changed, and he remembered that this was included in the previous transaction.

The price of a case is, 5 gold pounds?

"Of course, I handled a case today. At Snow's Tavern in Basil's neighborhood, a guest from out of town was deformed."

Wei En stretched out his hand, "Chenghui, 5 gold pounds."

"Gone?"

"No more, the aberrations have been dealt with."

Claire's face dropped, and she reluctantly took out a 5 gold pound note and put it on the table, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, there is another one."

Wayne thought of the case at Serres Manor and looked at the 5 gold pounds. He was a bastard who didn't make money even if he had money. It was just a scandal among the nobles.

"It's a commission from a noble..."

"The Serres family, the Black Pearl...this case looks pretty good," Claire said cheerfully this time, throwing out a 5-gold note and saying, "Happy cooperation."

"Have fun."

Wei En took two banknotes and counted them. This was much more generous than the Ghost School, which made him want to seriously consider Claire's invitation.

Join the Eternal Life Society... Forget it, an organization that has money to make but no money to spend, it's better to be more stable in Ghost.

Except for the arrogant and rude liaison officer, all the rules within the school are relatively sound. Whenever he is promoted, the Apprentice Management Office will give him rewards...

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Claire threw herself into the shadow of the corner and slowly descended, reminding her intentionally or unintentionally: "The necklace I gave you for safekeeping before, be sure to keep it well..."

"Don't worry, it'll be no problem."

Wei En has always regarded the request of the benefactor as his own business.

What's more, this is a big funder who can pay for two unrelated cases...

Looking at the place where Claire disappeared, he took out the book that Claire had collected before, with the dark red cover, the black gem in the six-pointed star rune, and the faint light on the book.

"Just let me see what's recorded on it."

Wei En's spiritual power attached to his hands, and he carefully opened the cover——

"Doa!"

"Doa!!"

"Doa!!!"

Along with the shrill and desperate voice, a mouth full of sharp teeth was seen growing out from the edge of the book. It opened wide and roared crazily, and the overwhelming hatred spread around.

Wei En looked at this scene thoughtfully. The word "Doa" means night in Gonzalez language...

Dark night?

Thinking like this, he reached out and patted the mouth, and his spiritual power passed through to restore the book to its original state.

Wayne saw the first page of the book - only half a sheet of paper?

"Um, don't you recognize the first word?"

The proficiency level of Gonzalez seems to be a bit low.

"...The night...the silence...is torn off at the back? The translation work is off to a bad start."

Wei En turned over the first page with some depression, looked at the content on it, and was shocked.

"In the 88th year of the Third Era, the Turing Empire was established, and the original continent was about to open a new chapter. Turing I was a wise and majestic man, with several...gods standing behind him?"

[You successfully unlocked new González vocabulary. Comment: God is God, not spirit. Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 Gonzalez language. 】

Correct translation!

Wei En continued to read and saw that the founder of the Turing Empire had the support of several gods.

When the empire was established, the five popes of the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Night, the Church of the Earth, the Church of the Storm and the Church of War were present to crown Turing I...

Five major churches?

Wei En looked at the translated names. The familiar Zhengshen Church only had Storm and Earth...the other three were gone?

"During the coronation ceremony, the gods descended. Turing I was blessed by the five righteous gods. Turing's empire was protected by the righteous church... Page 2."

"Huh? Another unknown word."

Wayne looked at the unfamiliar Gonzalez language on the second page, and thought about it as he opened the panel and took a look.

135 survival points...plus points!

Gonzalez 7/100, 8/100...100/100.

[Your proficiency in Gonzales is 100/100. Do you want to upgrade? 】

【yes. 】

[Congratulations, your Gonzales language level has been upgraded to proficient. Evaluation: You can use this to know some secrets that you shouldn't know... Special rewards: +2 survival points, +2 spiritual level, +2 toughness level. 】

[Note: Proficient in González means that one only knows part of the vocabulary of the language. When identifying unknown words in González, the success rate of correct understanding is 30%, and the accuracy can be improved with the help of auxiliary tools. 】

As the upgrade was successful, the Gonzalez language, which was extremely small in number and seemed to contain endless knowledge, emerged in Wei En's mind one by one.

"4899 characters."

I remember that when I upgraded from beginner to proficient, I got a total of 1,356 characters, and this time I upgraded to proficient level, which was about three times as much as proficient level...

Wei En slowly opened his eyes, and Gonzalez's words flashed quickly in the depths of his eyes, causing his red eyes to be stained with a layer of darkness.

In a daze, he seemed to have passed through layers of fog and saw the secret space beneath fate and above time.

Two stalwart figures overlooked the entire land, one of them was wearing a white robe with long white hair and beard, looking as simple as an old scholar.

Next to him was a woman with a proud figure wearing a black tights.

But Wei En couldn't see the two of them clearly, no, to be precise, they were two gods. He only felt that there was an invisible shadow lying in front of his eyes.

"...Gonzales, what's the point of this?"

"Haha, this is much more meaningful than eternal life. Don't you think this world is too peaceful?"

"so what?"

"Add some color and that's it."

"Really?" The goddess's voice turned cold, "It's really boring..."

"Hahaha... maybe, but when everyone knows the name of Gonzales, I will wake up again. At that time... I hope you are still there..."

"Huh, it's inevitable!"

The old man in white robe seemed to glance in the direction of Wei En unintentionally, and laughed again, "Recite my name, and you will gain eternal and endless wisdom!"

In an instant, the scene in front of Wei En disappeared, and he stared blankly at the familiar studio.

Gonzalez...Eternal Wisdom?

[You have learned some of the lost secrets, and the ancient god Gonzalez’s awakening progress +1 (the current progress is 34/???). Special reward: Origin +1. 】

Wayne just glanced at the panel prompts and chanted in a low voice: "Gonzales, Gonzales..."

Mao didn’t even react, you liar!

He shut his mouth angrily and continued to read the content on the second page, "..."

Why, there are so many untranslatable words?

However, compared with before the upgrade, it is much better. At least it is no longer unknown to large sections, but intermittent.

"In March 89 of the Third Era, the eldest prince was born and was blessed by the Pope of the Church of the Sun..."

"In June of the same year, the second prince was born. On that day, darkness enveloped the earth. The Pope of the Night Church... I don't know the name of the second prince who blessed the Turing Empire?"

"In September of the same year, the eldest princess was born. The Church of Storms beat the Earth Church to bless the girl and brought her into the church for training..."

[You successfully unlocked new Gonzalez vocabulary... Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 Gonzalez proficiency. 】

【……】

[You successfully unlocked new Gonzalez vocabulary... Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 Gonzalez proficiency. 】

Wei En quickly guessed and identified more than a dozen unfamiliar words, and roughly understood the content described on the second page.

That is to say, Turing I and the Queen of the Turing Empire gave birth to several children in the same year, and each child was blessed and cultivated by several orthodox churches as soon as he was born.

With the same queen?

Is this possible?

Wei En confirmed the queen's name again——

"Lilith Horacio Leonard? I don't know what species she is. She gives birth to one child every three months, a cow!"

Well, I need to remember this name. She is definitely a big obstacle to family planning.

But is the Turing Empire in the third era so powerful?

The five major righteous churches are actually vying to bless the second generation. What's the benefit?

Wei En turned to the third page in confusion. When he saw the content above, his eyes widened suddenly and he blurted out a national curse.

“Damn it, you don’t know a single word??”

There were a total of 329 Gonzalez characters on the third page, and he didn't recognize any of them...

Now, Meng He didn't even give him a chance to guess...

Wei En turned over a few more pages in disbelief, and sighed helplessly as he looked at the vast swath of unfamiliar vocabulary.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to translate, it’s just that he really doesn’t know him!

"It seems that I need to continue to add more points. A thousand survival points. I have so many just to understand an obviously chronological article... I feel a bit shortchanged."

Wei En closed the book and threw it into the space ring. Come on, let's wait until there are free survival points in the future.

However, he was quite curious about the history behind it.

Especially how the five righteous churches of the Third Era evolved into the current Dawn, Storm, Red Moon and Earth.

As for the Turing Empire... there is not even a hair left now. Even if we know more historical facts about it, it seems to be of little use, right?

Wayne shook his head. It seemed that the equal contract between him and Claire would continue for some time.

With this in mind, he packed up the studio and went upstairs to rest.

When passing by Tina's room, Wei En opened the door and took a look. Seeing the white-haired girl lying on her back and sleeping soundly, he carefully closed the door and returned to the bedroom.

[Congratulations on another day. Evaluation: The weak chicken has become stronger, eh, weak scum? Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

After Wei En fell asleep, the three women living in the other three rooms of this residence all opened their eyes at the same time...

Tina opened her dull eyes and murmured: Lilith, Lilith, Lilith... Lilith! !

The zombie girl was staring at the top of the room, seemingly looking at the black-haired boy, holding a neatly folded white skirt in her hand...

Only Claire was different from the two of them. She sat up and cursed, "No, why should I suffer such a disadvantage? I have to go back for revenge. Old guy, just wait for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the shadows beside the bed again and began her journey of revenge...

…

…

Late at night, a house shrouded in thick darkness stood in the howling cold wind.

There are scratches on the wooden wall, like sharp claws scratching and shattering, adding a bit of dilapidation to this old cabin.

The candlelight flickered in the room, which was filled with a stale smell.

Wayne was awakened by the pungent smell, "Why does it feel like I'm back in the guest room at Snow's Tavern... huh?"

What is this place?

Isn't he in the bedroom of the residence?

Wei En looked at the simple and dark rooms around him, dream?

At this time, rustling sounds came from all around, like someone whispering in his ear, or like the wind blowing randomly outside the window...

In this silent room, he felt a little bit chillier for no reason.

"what?"

Wei En frowned. This was not the first time he had experienced a dream. He had even experienced the Dawn Fountain of Faith, let alone such a small room.

Boom,

He looked at the wooden door on his left and listened intently. Was there someone knocking on the door?

Boom,

OK, knock on the door!

Boom,

"Who is it? He's already asleep, stop knocking!"

Boom, boom, boom...

The person outside the door seemed to hear his voice, and turned from knocking on the door to frantically banging on the door.

Along with the harsh sound, the surrounding walls were shaking, making it even more weird in the darkness.

Wei En sat on the edge of the bed, just staring at the wooden door without making any movement. He wanted to see who was doing this!

Suddenly, a burst of shrill laughter sounded in the night, and the laughter was full of ridicule.

"Hehe hehe hehe hehe..."

Um?

Some nervous laughter.

Wayne thought, "Who on earth brought me into this dream? Come out."

Instead of waiting, invite.

After coming to this world, he had many similar experiences, allowing him to face it all calmly.

The only similarity is that with his current strength, he can't resist...

As the laughter grew shriller, the knocking on the door grew faster and louder.

Every blow seemed to hit Wei En's heart, and strangely, his heartbeat also accelerated.

The door panel made a creaking sound, like a murmur in his heartbeat.

"Well."

Wayne clutched his chest. He could feel his heartbeat racing so fast that it even jumped into his throat.

"No, knock it!"

He couldn't help but rushed over and opened the door violently.

A black shadow rushed in, and the cold wind outside made his face feel cold, and the beating of his heart slowed down instantly.

Wei En shook his head and looked outside the door. Was there anyone there?

He closed the door and backed away slowly, always paying attention to the movement outside the door.

Although he told himself that there was no need to be nervous, it would be fine, but as time went by, he began to become suspicious.

Who is it?

Claire? The Cult of Despair? Dawn Church? Or those Vazquez people?

Hehe hehe... clown?

"Joker, is that you?"

"Hehe, young, handsome, cute warrior, you finally think of me..."

A slightly frivolous voice sounded behind him. Wei En turned around suddenly and saw a black figure!

"Devil clown?!"

"Good afternoon, young gentleman."

The demon clown saluted gracefully, with a black gentleman's hat in his hand covering his chest inwards, and bowed slightly with his left foot in front and his right foot behind.

He wore a broken clown mask on his face, and the blood-red lip gloss extended outward to below his ears.

Under the mask, there was an angular chin and a pair of eyes that were sometimes crazy and sometimes dead, looking at Wei En wantonly.

"you……"

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

The atmosphere in the room began to become heavy and depressing, as if every inch of the air was filled with the breath of madness.

Wayne swallowed and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, but his voice was still a little dry, "Good afternoon, Mr. Clown."

"I still like the name Leonard, what do you think?"

"Okay, Mr. Leonard..."

What a fart, what on earth is going on?

Isn’t the encounter progress less than 100?

Why did he meet the demon clown in advance, or in a dream like this?

Wayne felt like he was going crazy!

That’s just one chapter today, I’ll add more this weekend, um starting from tomorrow.

I still owe two chapters, but judging from the monthly pass situation, I will soon owe three chapters, woo woo woo.
