Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

Chapter 98 Ah - Stop fighting

At this time, Wei En has very few spells to choose from. Only by upgrading the flicker (death) spell can he escape or deal with the battle faster.

Flicker (Death) Level 2 (1/300), (2/300)...Flicker (Death) Level 2 (300/300).

[Flicker (Death) level 2 (300/300), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Flicker (Death) has been upgraded to level 3. Effect: The flashing distance is increased by 100%, the mental power consumption is reduced by 10%, and the phantom clone is +1. 】

[Note 1: Flicker (Death) level 2 will generate 2 phantom clones, with 20% of the body’s mental level, 20% of the toughness level, and a 20-second existence time. 】

[Note 2: The phantom clone has hidden characteristics and has the ability to charm. It cannot charm creatures whose spiritual level exceeds 150% of the original body. 】

If the distance is increased by 100%, the range is 100 meters, and the spiritual level does not exceed 150% of the main body, which means it is below 180?

Wei En glanced at it, his mind changed quickly, and he could clearly see the effect of the flash spell.

As for the fact that the phantom clone has 20% of the basic attributes of the main body, he simply ignored it. With such a small amount of attributes, it is estimated that it cannot withstand a blow from the two people behind him.

"Yenish." (Broken bones.)

"Hold me tight, Tina." Hearing the voice behind him, Wei En growled without thinking.

"Tina, I know."

Mysterious Lord, flash!

The little Assi had been floating in mid-air and watching the two people behind them. Among them, the secret master turned his head and looked forward, "Nico, Luke."

Immediately afterwards, Wei En and Tina suddenly disappeared, leaving only two phantom clones in place.

Erno struck the phantom clone with a knife, and the soft touch made his eyes slightly cold. Did he run away?

"Mens, Dee."

The remaining phantom clone next to him looked at him, and a charm spell was thrown on him.

"Well?"

Erno's expression was dull for a moment, and he waved the long knife in his hand wildly, "I finally caught you, you are dead."

"Die, I'll chop you to death!"

"Hahaha...Tikki, I avenged you, Tikki!"

Although Collins was also affected by the charm, his mental level was much stronger than Erno, and he only woke up in an instant.

The dancing tentacles on his body hit the walls of the secret passage from time to time, corroding holes one after another.

"Huh? Erno, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

boom……

Wei En, who dodged out, also noticed this and stopped running. He pulled out a musket with a flip of his wrist and fired a series of bullets at them.

Six bullets flew up and down covering the entire secret passage, blocking their escape route.

"You bastard, do you think you can deal with us with a gun?"

Collins angrily stood in front of Erno, and the tentacles behind his back stretched forward to block the bullets.

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - aging, which means the death progress is 1/30. Rating: Disgusting stuff. Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

【……】

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disease, which means the death progress is 6/30...Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Can the defense be broken?

Wei En's eyes lit up, he put down Tina and quickly loaded the bullet.

The charm spell doesn't last long, take advantage of Collins' immobility to hit him!

Bang, bang, bang...

"Aging, contamination by disease?"

How can it be?

How come those bullets have death properties that pollute their power?

Could it be that that boy was a follower of the Death Cult? Didn’t they say they had disappeared?

But it was obvious that now was not the time to think about this. Collins could already feel the tentacles on his body being contaminated.

In particular, the dark smear of disease pollution could actually replace his own green corrosive mucus and attack his body along the tentacles.

"Damn Erno, if you don't wake up, we'll be in trouble!"

While shouting, Collins allowed several bullet-pierced tentacles to fall off so as not to affect himself.

Looking at the dozens of incoming bullets, he already knew that he must not touch him head-on, so he had no choice but to wrap his tentacles around Erno and dodge the bullets with him.

Only when he encounters something he can't avoid will choose to use his tentacles to resist.

"Who are you? Why do you have the characteristic power of death pollution?"

Collins didn't expect that an ominous person who had not yet reached the captain level could really cause him such big trouble with just a gun.

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disaster, which means the death progress is 1/30. Evaluation: Extraordinary bloodline, haha, extraordinary, hahaha... Reward: Survival points +3. 】

【……】

[You hit Collins Vazquez with a musket, triggering the death characteristic - disease, which means the death progress is 1/30...Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Um?

Has the progress of the death trait been reset?

Wayne frowned. He looked at Collins, who was constantly falling off and new tentacles coming out. Is this ability too high?

Unfortunately, the space in the secret passage is too small, and the effect of [Ballistic Control] cannot be maximized, otherwise Collins would not be able to dodge so many bullets.

"Um, Collins? Come on, put me down quickly—"

Erno, who was caught in the tentacles and constantly being corroded, woke up, and the severe pain on his body made him scream in agony.

"You finally woke up, hurry up, help me block these bullets!" Collins quickly threw him away, "But be careful, there is something wrong with that kid's bullets."

"What is the problem?"

Ernault already knew that he had been under a charm spell just now, and with a gloomy face, he flashed next to Collins and chopped the bullets into pieces one by one with his long knife like the wind.

"Anytime there's harm, there's going to be some pollution."

"Um?"

Seeing those bullets being shot down, Wei En knew that it would be difficult to cause harm to them, so he had no choice but to put away his musket. It seemed that he could only do this much today.

"Two members of the Vazquez clan, I'm curious as to what your purpose is in targeting the Seres family like this?"

"You don't think you can escape like this, do you? Erno!"

"Oakley, Des, Thomas." (Aurora flashes.)

"Nico, Luke."

Wei En stepped out a hundred meters away and looked at the phantom clone that was chopped to pieces by the sword light and Erno who was once again charmed. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Can't you still escape like this?"

"Damn it!"

Collins' tentacle shattered the clone, and then gave Erno a hard blow.

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore. Next time I see you, you won't be so lucky."

"you!?"

Before Collins could speak, Wayne had already pulled Tina a hundred meters away. Since he couldn't beat her, there was no need for him to stay here.

Erno woke up and had a headache looking at the two new phantom clones. "You can separate the twinkling spells of clones, and you can also use charm?"

"This person is very weird. On the surface, he uses the magic of the occult school, but his body is obviously much more powerful than other wizard apprentices. The key is his bullets..."

Collins looked at Wei En who had disappeared into the secret passage with a gloomy expression, "I told you not to focus on the family bloodline before."

Thinking of those bullets with the power of death pollution and the speed at which the other party escaped, they were very different from the wizards of the occult school he had seen before.

The strength of the body alone can crush most spiritual wizards, but the spells are much less powerful.

If it were a real spiritual wizard, in such a closed space, I am afraid that he and Erno would have already started to escape.

"...are you still chasing after me?"

"Go back. He is right. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to leave."

"But……"

"There is still a chance. The most important thing now is to take Genrich away, plus... let's go!"

After saying that, Collins turned and left without hesitation.

Erno glanced bitterly in the direction of the exit and followed him back the way he came. Next time, next time I will definitely improve my mental strength!

"gone?"

On the other side, Wei En, who had left the secret passage, noticed that the two people behind him did not follow him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, he used three flashes in succession to escape from the secret passage, and his spiritual power was directly consumed by more than half.

"They left?"

At this time, Saiyam sensed that the two people did not follow him, and looked deep into the secret passage without knowing what he was thinking.

"Well, luckily they didn't come after me..."

"Investigator Wayne, please don't tell anyone what happened today."

"Huh?" Wei En thought for a while and said, "I can't tell anyone, but our Secret Adjustment Department has internal procedures... I'm sorry."

Saiyam glanced at him and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wei En turned around and looked at the Sleepless City not far away, as well as the guards who were coming here, and said, "It seems that this place has been alarmed..."

"Baba, be careful!"

Little Axi didn't need to remind him. Wei En, who was extremely nervous, had already carried Tina and ran a hundred meters away. His blood-red eyes seemed to be dimmed with blood, staring at the old jazz.

"You want to kill me?"

At this time, Saiyam had a dagger in his hand, which was piercing the body of one of the phantom clones. He was still waving the dagger back and forth while chattering.

"Go to hell, go to hell, why don't you die?"

"You should die now, right? Hahaha..."

"Damn you bastards, damn Vazquez, damn..."

Charming, still?

Wayne directly summoned the mechanical door. Although he didn't know why Saiyam wanted to take action against him, since he had chosen to take action, he couldn't be blamed.

Click.

Wayne took out the six-barreled shotgun and loaded it casually. The cold metal touch made his eyes even more gloomy.

"If Xiao Axi hadn't reminded me, I would have just..."

"Wei En, brother." Tina pulled the corner of his clothes and stared at him with empty eyes.

"Um?"

Hearing this voice, Wei En's eyes regained clarity and he looked at the white-haired girl beside him, "Thank you, Tina."

Because he had noticed the prompts on the panel and understood that he had just been affected by an external force.

[You are eroded by the origin of Mitra (the Beloved), the Lord of Desire. Because your spiritual level is much lower than the other party, you are affected by the power of the origin of desire.

You are subject to murder, bloodlust...

Comment: You disturb Him. Special rewards: survival points +5, origin +1. 】

[With the help of contract power (disaster), you successfully resisted the erosion of the source of desire. Comment: I take back my previous suggestion that you terminate the contract, otherwise you will have to change it in advance... Special rewards: +5 survival points, +2 spiritual level. 】

Mitra?

Just say how could Saiyam suddenly attack him when he was in good condition.

Wei En turned his head to look at the city that never sleeps in the distance, and he temporarily remembered this tone.

Thinking of this, he held the shotgun in the air and fired a shot.

boom!

The huge gunshots echoed in the depths of the ground, causing some shock.

"I'm going to kill you, damn... huh?" The old jazz man was awakened by the voice and looked around, "I, what's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing. You may have just encountered a disaster and your spirit has been polluted."

"Is that so? I'm really...sorry, didn't I hurt you?"

"No." Wei En casually threw the shotgun into the mechanical door, "What are your plans next?"

Saiyam put away the dagger and looked a little dazed, "As I just said, your Secret Adjustment Department does not need to take care of this matter."

"Who asked you this?"

Wei En looked at him as if he was looking at a retarded person, "Obviously they took the statue and your son was killed by them. As for who they are, you must know it very well."

"this……"

"Don't you understand yet? Your commission has been completed, please pay the commission fee. In addition, I was almost killed by you just now, so you also have to pay me an additional amount of mental damage... and about the Vazquez clan ——Hush money!”

Although the old knight wanted to kill him because he was affected by the power of desire, it did cause him psychological damage.

What a lie... No, it's appropriate to ask for an extra gold pound, right?

Saiyam: "..."

He is an old man, his two sons have just died, and another son betrayed him... How can you bear it?

"Here you are, 200 gold pounds!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Sir Syam."

Wayne took the stack of 5 gold pound banknotes and counted them quickly, "You are welcome to come to the Secret Service Department next time to issue a commission."

One hundred gold pounds was handed over to the Secret Service Department, and he kept the remaining one hundred pounds - the effort was proportional to the reward, which was a pleasure.

Now he finally knows why Lacey and Marco have so many gold pounds. With so much extra income, other people would be very rich.

Of course, the premise is that you can survive the mission...

"Who, do you know where this place is? Dare to do something here?"

It was only then that the old Ross from the Nightless City rushed over. Seeing that they were all familiar people, he waved his hand to signal the guards to put away their weapons, "Sir Seres?"

"It's me," Saiyam nodded, "Sorry Rose, there was an accident and I had to hide here."

"Then this one, oh, I remembered, he was with Master Nascimento last time..."

[You are scanned by Ross Dolisk's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】

[You are scanned by the spiritual perception of Mitra, the Lord of Desire (the Beloved). Reward: Survival Points +2. 】

【……】

Wei En nodded calmly, "Just call me Wei En."

"Investigator Wayne, I hope I didn't scare you."

"No," Wayne shook his head, then looked at Saiyam and said, "Sir, since the commission has been completed, I will go back first."

"Well, thank you for your help. When this matter is over..."

"goodbye."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei En turned around and left.

Better never to see you again!

He went to the Seres Manor twice and was attacked twice, each time more dangerous than the last... If he encounters a case related to the Seres family again, he will really become a fool!

Wayne nodded to Old Ross, then passed through the guards in black armor and walked towards the exit leading to the other side of the Natoli neighborhood.

Old Ross looked at his back and shouted: "By the way, Investigator Wynn, Investigator Marco will come to the City that never sleeps at noon. Do you want to go find him?"

Wayne was stunned for a moment, "Uh, Marco is here?"

Didn't he come out with a mission? Co-authoring means going out to play and fishing for work, right?

"Yes, I've been here for almost two hours and had a lot of fun. Do you want to come up?"

At this time, a shout came from the direction of Evernight City, "Wei En, Tina?"

Wei En looked for the sound and was speechless when he discovered that Marco was standing with his upper body naked on the tower bridge in the middle of the castle.

Damn, you’ve already played it?

Marco flew straight over here, "Why are you here too? Do you want to have sex too..."

"I'm not, don't lie, I'm not."

Wei En pointed at the old knight on the other side, "Hey, I just completed the commission and am about to leave."

"Sir Syam?"

"Um."

Saiyam just nodded towards him and followed Old Ross and the others towards the Nightless City, his back looking very bleak.

"What happened? Why do you feel that he is not in a good mood?" Marco bumped Wei En with his bare shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"I won't be able to tell for a while. Do you want to go back and change clothes first?"

"It's okay. It's just halftime. It's the same thing if we go back later."

Seeing his proud look, Wayne really wanted to slap his face with his size 43 shoes.

I was out there fighting life and death, and almost died!

It's a good thing that you don't work hard, but you still go to the city that never sleeps to be free and unrestrained, right?

"Come on, Tina, let's go back."

boom!

A loud noise interrupted his words, followed by a huge light blade, which struck the castle and was blocked by its defensive rune formation.

"Wayne, are you here?"

Marco exclaimed: "Lacie? How did she find this place?!"

Wayne scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I just informed her to come over."

He had forgotten about pressing the siren before, but seeing Marco's appearance, he suddenly felt that such an accident was quite good.

Well, it looks like at least one person will die today...

"...Then I'll run away first, don't tell her I'm here."

"It's too late, she's already seen you."

I saw Lacey rushing over from the side holding an ax in both hands, followed by Carly with a wary look on her face.

Lacey glanced at the three of Wayne and jumped over, nervously looking at... Tina, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.

"I feel relieved to see you are okay."

Carly ran over and asked nervously: "Wayne, Tina, are you injured? I can treat you."

"No," Wayne shook his head and added: "Tina is fine too."

The white-haired girl clung to his leg, not noticing that her fingers were pinching the sensitive parts of the clown doll.

Sour, sour, laughing and joking, this can also be used as a punishment in the game!

"As for the mission, I'll tell you after I get back. I'm afraid it won't be very convenient here."

"Well," Lacey noticed the shirtless Marco and frowned, "Why are you here too?"

"I, can I say that I am also here to rescue Wei En?" Marco said with his hands on his chest and his head shrinking.

"You feel……"

"Damn it, who is it this time?"

Old Ross ran over again with the guards. He just breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the huge light blade striking the castle, he felt bad and almost scared him out of his mind.

"How dare you...uh, yes, Ms. Lacey from the Montoya family?"

Lacey glared at Marco, then turned to look at the guards, "It's me, who are you?"

"This, that..." Old Ross was embarrassed and looked at Marco for help.

But Marco was more embarrassed than him at this time, and he wanted to find a crack to get in right away - now he just wanted to be in the field, not here.

"Also, why is there a castle here?" Lacey continued to ask after seeing the two rows of girls in cool clothes standing under the castle from a distance.

Wayne, Marco, and Old Ross: "..."

Should they answer the question or run for their lives?

"So, this is the city that never sleeps as you mentioned before?"

After a long while, Lacey finally got the answer she wanted. She gritted her teeth and looked at Marco, "So, you didn't go to the Idrisu neighborhood to finish the work, but ran here..."

Marco smiled coquettishly, "Actually, this, that, I want to come..."

Before he finished speaking, he waved his lantern staff, and then cast a spell: "Zach, Blue, Zac." (Lightly Wind.)

boom,

"Lighty? You still dare to run? I'll let you run!"

Before he could run away, Lacey had already hit him with a fist as big as a casserole. While beating him, he also cursed: "I dared you to lie to me to hold a cocktail party, and dared you not to work hard and sneak out to play, I... "

"Hey, hey, I was wrong, Lacey, I was really wrong!!"

Old Rose looked at Marco, who had transformed from a handsome boy to an ugly man almost instantly, and said with a grin on his face: "Investigator Wayne, there's nothing wrong, I'll go back first."

I had heard about this person's reputation before, but I didn't expect that the rumors were just rumors after all. Now that I saw it - it was even more scary.

"Um."

Wei En nodded slightly and looked at Marco who was beaten... Did you get beaten for letting you go out to play without me? Deserve it!

Of course, even if he is invited, he has to think about it.

especially--

[You are peeked by the origin of Mitra (the Beloved), the Lord of Desire. Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Wei En glanced calmly in the direction of Sleepless City. Don't you hate being disturbed?

Now let's try the power of desire to erode again?

Hum, I only know how to bully the weak scum, and wait, sooner or later I will let you know how powerful I am!

"Wayne, do you want to tell Sister Lacey to stop? I, I feel like he is about to be beaten to death..." Carly didn't dare to look at Marco's miserable appearance all the time, she only dared to glance at him from time to time.

"It's okay, the captain is sensible." Wei En replied casually, "Let's go, I guess she will have to wait for a while to finish. Let's go out and wait."

"oh."

With that said, Wayne took Tina's little hand and walked out of the passage with Carly, who looked back from time to time.

"Ah - don't fight, I was wrong -"

The screams echoed throughout the cave, and the regular guests in the city that never slept were so frightened that they all put on their clothes and slipped away from the other side.

On the top of the Evernight City, Mitra looked at them lazily, her watery eyes staring at Wei En's back, not even noticing that the thin rope on her body fell off.

This guy's origin has improved quite quickly. Remember he had two sub-bodies last time, right?

Interesting...

…

…

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, several people returned to the Secret Investigation Division, well, except for Marco who had to rush to the Idrisu neighborhood to close the case.

"Lacey, Carly, thank you for coming to rescue me. Your mission over there is not affected, right?"

"No, the case in Basil Block was obviously the work of a freak."

Lacey leaned back carelessly on the high-backed chair, clasping his arms, highlighting the dials of the two hanging clocks, "Tell me, what happened at Seres Manor?"

Carly asked equally curiously: "Yes, didn't you go to the Natoli neighborhood? How did you appear in that city that never sleeps?"

"There was an accident. Captain, do you remember Butler Collins last time?"

"Remember, that old guy was very generous last time. What happened to him?"

"He was the one who colluded with Genrich Seres..."

Wayne recounted what happened in the Seres family, especially how he and the old knight had no choice but to escape to the City that never sleeps when they were chased by Collins and Erno.

"...Finally, after the two people left, the old knight entered the city that never sleeps."

Lacey pondered: "So, Collins and the gang who attacked the manor are all members of the Vazquez family?"

"It should be, but Sir Saiyam has not admitted this. I think there are many things hidden in it. And the statue of the god is probably not as ordinary as they say."

"Then let's put this matter to rest for now. After you finish writing the report, I will submit it to Yegor and see what the people above have to say."

"good."

Wayne nodded slightly and had no objection to Lacey's arrangement.

When things develop to this point, it is obviously beyond the scope of the Secret Adjustment Department's responsibilities.

Especially when it involves nobles, according to city-state laws, such cases must be handed over to the noble committee for handling.

After the case was finished, Wayne counted out a 100 gold pound note and put it on the table. "This is the commission fee given by the old knight. I brought it with me."

"Well," Lacey accepted the gold pound and divided 50 gold pounds from it, "This belongs to you and Tina."

"Thank you very much."

On the way back, Wei En had already secretly given Tina a portion of the extra gold pound given by Saiyam.

Now counting the income of these 25 gold pounds, the gold pounds he has on hand once again exceeds 100 gold pounds, which should be able to buy some good magic knowledge.

Then he took out the translated Era relic and put it on the table, "I've also finished this one."

"It's pretty fast. Leave it to me. I'll send it to Yegor later."

Next, it was almost time to get off work, and everyone was busy with their own work.

Lacey was teaching Carly the process of writing a case file. The two were so close that the hands of the clock almost touched each other.

As soon as Tina returned to the office, she took out the box of cookies and continued feeding the clown doll.

It's just that this time the clown doll didn't put up any resistance. From time to time it opened its mouth and swallowed a cookie, not knowing whether the food it ate would produce anything...

As for Wayne, it only took him twenty minutes to hand over the commission formation report of Seres Manor to Lesina and continue studying the design drawings of the mechanical puppet.

Even with that knowledge of runes, it would not be easy for him to make improvements based on the original drawings of [Ironheart Fury].

First of all, the overall appearance of the puppet must be changed. The previously thick limbs must become slender due to the simplification of the strong heart and furious burst patterns.

At the same time, the torso of the mechanical puppet was enlarged, especially the location of the cornerstone runes, from the original more than ten parts to 45.

It’s almost as big as the sum of all the previous parts.

On the contrary, Wei En feels that such changes are very reasonable...

But thinking about it, he actually didn't have much confidence in the newly designed drawing. He could only modify a drawing first and try to complete the production and assembly of the parts.

After all, every drawing of a mechanical puppet was the result of countless years of research by predecessors, and it was the limit that he could make some changes to it.

When he actually got started, Wei En discovered that he still had a lot to learn. In addition to runes, mechanical puppets also included materials science, mechanical weapons, kinematics, etc.

Even Wizard Jerry, who claims to be a genius, only started researching and designing his own mechanical puppet after he was promoted to an official wizard.

Therefore, Wei En had to set his goals lower, hoping to see what the final effect would be, and then make targeted adjustments and optimizations.

Dang, Dang Dang Dang.

"It's four o'clock," Lacey looked at the time on the wall and gritted his teeth: "As expected, that bastard didn't come back. Let's see how I deal with him tomorrow."

Wayne held a few seconds of silence for Marco and then packed his things, "Tina, I'm going home from get off work. You should go back with the captain."

The white-haired girl paused and said coldly: "Tina, I know."

"See you tomorrow."

Wayne touched her hair, then looked at Carly behind him, "Uncle Euan said he was away for two days and entrusted you to my care..."

"Ah?" Carly obviously didn't know about this yet and asked in surprise: "Did he go out? Where did he go?"

"They said they were going to the city-state of Andrea to pick up a batch of materials. They should be back tomorrow."

"That's it, then I'll go back with you." Carly quickly picked up the things on the table.

"Um."

After Carly packed up, Wayne said goodbye to Lacey and took her out of the office.

The white-haired girl turned her head half a circle, stared blankly in the direction of the door, and murmured: "Tina, see you tomorrow..."

Hee hee hee haha... I won't see you again tomorrow, okay?

"Tina, it's not good."

"Huh?" Lacey noticed her talking to herself, "What's wrong, Tina? Are you okay?"

"Tina, it's okay."

"As long as it's okay, let's go. I'll make you your favorite animal blood tofu today."

"Tina eats it, clown doesn't eat it."

Clown Doll: I only deserve to eat cookies, right? I do not want! I want to eat blood too! !
