Wayne looked up and down at the small three-story house in front of him. Except that the red bricks were painted black, the overall style was no different from other surrounding shop buildings. A large flame was painted on the open porch, and a piece of skeleton stood on the left. The sign that was built - the Ghost School is stationed in the intelligence office of the city-state Alexey.
Ghost's intelligence office?
Ronan noticed his gaze and took the initiative to introduce: "Alexey Island is an important intersection island in the Cordo Sea. In addition to trading and entertainment, it is also a gathering place for intelligence from all continents. Intelligence from the four continents passes through every day. Here, known by others.”
"Not only does the ghost school you belong to have a presence here, but there are also schools of mysticism and shadow over there. However, it is said that the information that wizards pay attention to is different from other pirates, extraordinary families, and churches. Most of them are about ruins, epochal relics, and Knowledge is relevant.”
Knowledge……
Wayne nodded, this was indeed like the wizards' style.
But the Intelligence Department...
He remembered that Director Armitage had passed on a list of Shadow personnel before, and there were two Shadow members on Alexei Island on it.
I don’t know if they are stationed inside...
"Let's go to the repair shop first."
After thinking about it for a while, Wei En decided to finish repairing the Leonard first and then come back here to take a look.
Since killing the liaison officer in Custer City, he hasn't seen wizards from the Ghost School around for a long time, but he can take this opportunity to learn about things that other wizards are familiar with.
"Captain, follow me. That's the white house with the sailboat logo in front of you."
Ronan didn't ask any questions and just led the way.
"The Jimenez family belongs to the extraordinary family of the Ignacio Federation on the northern coast of the Southern Continent. It has an extraordinary bloodline called 'Devil's Vine'. It is said that when this characteristic is activated, it can turn the ground into a forest."
"But since their rise, they have focused on the shipbuilding industry. All the way from the southern continent to the north, they have family stations on four continents and some islands. They are very good at manufacturing and repairing sailboats."
"Um."
Wei En listened quietly, but in his heart he strongly agreed with the Jimenez family's practice of using extraordinary power to serve others.
If those nobles were like them, things like the Ernst family would not happen.
"arrive."
The three of them entered the white house and were led by the guard at the door to the atrium.
"Captain Wei En, Fred Jimenez, the steward here." A middle-aged man in a dark green dress recognized Wei En's identity with just one glance, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Excuse me , how can I help you?"
"Repair the ship." Wei En said calmly.
He was not surprised that this person knew his identity, and he never thought about hiding his identity.
Since Alexei Island is an intelligence collection island in the Cordo Sea, these people who have dealt with pirates and extraordinary families are naturally well-informed and know more about what is happening on the sea.
"this way please."
Fried was not afraid because he was a deformed wizard who had recently become famous in the sea. His waist was straight, his hands dropped naturally, and he had a polite smile on his face. He turned slightly sideways when speaking, which did not make people feel arrogant or arrogant. Maintain a certain aristocratic demeanor.
"You came just in time. We have no large-scale sailboat manufacturing and repair work here recently, otherwise we will have to wait a while."
Wayne didn't speak, but calmly pulled Tina and followed him.
"Ahem, even if someone is in front, we hope you can come as soon as possible." Ronan glanced at him, cleared his throat, and said in a rare tone of equal dialogue.
When it comes to the captain, one cannot embarrass the Leonard.
"certainly."
Fried observed Wei En's expression with the corner of his eye, and felt a little relieved. He was indeed a man who dared to take action against the Church of Dawn and slaughtered tens of thousands of priests.
"Later, when we sign the contract, we will agree on the completion time of repairing the ship."
Passing through the spacious atrium is a long corridor similar to an exhibition hall. There are several display cabinets with sailboat models on both sides. At a glance, sailboats of various sizes are of different shapes, but most of them are three-masted sailboats and steamships. , there were only two five-masted sailing ships and even larger ships.
"Tina, boat." Xiao Baimao was carrying two dolls, a clown and a bear. He stared blankly at the sailboat models and slowed down a little.
Wei En noticed her movements, thought for a moment and understood what she wanted to express, and couldn't help but laugh.
"You like these models?"
"Tina, model?"
"Well, that's it." Wei En pointed at one of the well-made three-masted sailboat models and said with a smile, "Want it?"
"Tina, I want to." Tina nodded slightly, seeming a little embarrassed, and her grip on his hand increased a bit.
"Mr. Fried, I wonder if I can buy one to take away?"
"Of course," Fried's face changed slightly when he heard what they said, and he looked at Wayne and said, "But the price may be more expensive."
"oh?"
"These models are made of Kag metal from the Western Continent, which comes from a ruins. The quantity is very rare. Although it is only one percent of a normal ship, its price is almost the same as a three-masted sailing ship. So... "
remains……
It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Wayne glanced at Tina and saw that her eyes were still on the three-masted sailboat. He thought for a few seconds and said, "How much does it cost? I want it now."
"Twenty thousand gold pounds."
"..."
Twenty thousand...gold pounds?
Ronan opened his mouth and wanted to say that his previous small steamship was only eight thousand gold pounds, but the ornamental sailing ship model was only twenty thousand?
"Okay." Wei En agreed directly without bargaining.
He still had no use for most of the money given by Black Jack and Menoor. Although the price of 20,000 gold pounds was a bit expensive, he knew that there were not many things that could interest Tina, so he bought it just to look at the model. Something special.
"Then let's sign the contract together later." Freed's smile did not change.
But judging from the temperament of this aberrant wizard, he is not as cruel as the rumors say?
Wayne nodded, his spiritual power covering the model, and pulling it into Tina's arms, "Thank you very much."
Tina threw away the clown doll in her hand, carried the bear doll behind her back, held the model in one hand, and still held Wei En with the other hand, "Tina, thank you."
"You are welcome."
With that said, Fried continued to lead the way.
Wei En and the other three also followed.
Clown doll lying on the floor: "..."
Hey hey hey, am I still here? Don't care about me?
These bastards are really going too far!
The clown doll jumped up angrily, took a few steps across, jumped onto Wayne's back, bit his shoulder with its big plush mouth, and hung on him.
Damn it, let’s see if I don’t summon a big guy here tonight!
"...The five-masted sailing ship is missing four masts, the sails have been replaced, and the bow looks like a new one. It looks like a clown? The ship is docked at No. 43, the third port? Don't worry, our people will go there to receive it."
After a while, Ronan and Fried communicated about the place to be repaired and calculated the extremely high price of fifteen thousand gold pounds. Wayne signed the contract and paid the money.
"It will take ten days to repair." Fried looked at the 35,000 gold pounds he had just received, and his smile became brighter. "You can have fun on the island. If you encounter trouble, you can also notify us. We Ximen The Nice family can provide some help in any way it can."
"Um."
Wei En knew that what he said was polite, so he didn't stay much longer, turned around and left with the two of them.
"see you next time."
Freed looked at their retreating figures and realized that someone would actually buy that sailboat model.
I thought it was just a small favor, but I didn't expect those people to have their sights set on this aberrant wizard...
It seems that this matter needs to be reported to the clan leader and the others, so that if any problems arise, they can be prepared in advance to deal with the aberrant wizard.
Tsk, those bastards from the Glory Society are so uneasy and kind-hearted!
On the other side, Wei En's mental perception reflected the image of Manager Fried. He glanced at the sailboat model in Tina's arms calmly and said calmly: "Ronan, you can move around freely now." , no need to follow me."
"Then, I'll go meet Helvin and the others first. If you need something, just... I should be at the Golden Tavern..."
Although Ronan was a little embarrassed, the ladies on this island were too enthusiastic. He had not touched a woman for a long time and almost got into trouble on the road.
"Go ahead."
"Goodbye, captain."
With his consent, Ronan turned and left, fearing that if he was a little later, he would be kept by the captain for other matters.
"Let's go too."
Wayne's eyes flickered slightly as he watched Tina hugging the sailboat model tightly.
"Tina, let's go."
Ten days... is a bit long...
…
…
Von Enrizo Research Center.
"Have you finished reviewing it?" Teresa looked forward to it. She had sorted out the entire research report. As long as there were no problems in the last step, she could submit the report to the research center.
"It's checked, senior, there's nothing wrong." Krista turned over the last page of parchment, her face looking delighted.
"I don't see any problems here either." Escobar smiled.
Teresa looked at the others and saw that they all nodded, so she couldn't wait to pack up the research report in her hand and waved, "Okay, then I'll go find Dean Josue right now."
Not long after, she, accompanied by a legendary guard, took the research report and a mechanical zombie that had completed the fusion experiment and promotion experiment to Research Institute No. 1 in the central area of the Von Enriso Research Center.
"... Damn it, there are so many research institutes, why can't they come up with a research project of the same level as that of the Shadow School?"
"Sorry, Dean Josue, that is the research result on the fusion of original characteristics. Recently, our energy has been focused on researching and repairing and perfecting spell runes. Even if the previous project has not stalled, it cannot reach the goal. This level.”
"Yes, Dean, we can't get it out in a short time..."
"I have a question. Why didn't the Legend of Boras look for those two research centers? The level of the subjects there is much higher than ours. I..."
"Shut up!" Josue's eyes flashed red, "Great Wizard Scotty, is this your answer?"
"Feel sorry."
"Hmph! Needless to say, the importance of those two research centers. Even if we cannot produce a research report on the same topic this time, we cannot expose it!"
Josue's finger bones cracked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"without……"
Dozens of wizards in black robes shook their heads.
The fact is just as they said, the research on the fusion of origin characteristics is the top topic in the wizarding world. It is almost a topic that can only achieve certain results by gathering the strength of the entire school.
Even if their ordinary research institutes have some higher-level topics, they cannot compare with the report produced by the Shadow School this time.
A few levels behind...
"Dean, I have another question."
"Um?"
"This time there are still people from Research Institute No. 66 who are not here. Their project of 'Integration and Transformation of Undead and Machinery'..."
Dean Josue's throat was choked, and he spoke in an angry tone, "Is this your problem? Even if this project achieves results, it cannot be compared with that report. I wonder what your thoughts are when you mention this?"
"Master Dean, I am concerned about Director Wei En who has just joined the research center." The great wizard chuckled, "It has been so long and he has not shown up. I don't know..."
"This is not something you should care about!"
"I……"
"Scotty, the director is very talented and young. He has just joined the research center. It is not certain whether the project has been carried out. If you ask like this, aren't you putting the director in trouble?"
"Yes, Great Wizard Scotty, this is your fault."
"Yes Yes Yes Yes……"
Click, click, click!
Qiao Sue looked at the dozens of great wizards in front of him, talking about Wei En, and almost laughed angrily.
"you……"
At this time, a skeleton warrior wrapped in thick armor walked in.
"Crack, click, click." (Master, someone is looking for you outside.)
"Um?"
"Crack, click, click." (Ms. Teresa of Institute 66.)
"please come in."
After a while, Teresa came in excitedly with a thick research report.
"Dean! We have studied the results of all stages! You..."
As soon as she opened the door and walked in, she saw the office was crowded with wizards, her face was slightly red, "I'm sorry, directors."
"It doesn't matter." The great wizard named Scotty looked at Teresa up and down, "Are you from Research Institute No. 66?"
"Yes, Director Scotty."
Teresa walked around these wizards and placed the research report in front of Josue. She looked at the people behind her with confusion, wondering what the directors of the various research institutes were doing here.
"You said there are results?"
Josue looked at the research report on the table and felt that it was a little unreal.
It has only been a month since Wei En established Research Institute No. 66, and there are research results on the subject so soon?
"you sure?"
Teresa smiled again on her face, "Yes, Dean. This morning, our director just completed the first phase of the experiment. Not only that, but also..."
At this point, she paused, glanced sideways at the people behind her, and hesitated: "They are here, it is inappropriate to hear this..."
"Oh yes."
Josue waved his hand, "You go back first. I will look for you again after the Shadow School leaves this time."
The great wizards present looked at each other, and then everyone's eyes fell on the great wizard Scotty.
"you……"
Scotty knew what they were thinking, that is, they wanted to stay and listen to the results of Institute No. 66.
It just so happened that he wanted to know too.
This was the first time he had encountered a project report that achieved phased results in one month!
"That dean, I wonder if we can listen to it?"
"you……"
"Dean Josue, we want to see it too."
"Yes, you said before that the wizard Wayne Loft is very talented in research. Not only is he proficient in runes, he is also the fastest-promoting wizard in the history of the school, so..."
Josue gritted his white teeth, knowing full well what these people were thinking.
But if you think about it carefully, you should really let these great wizards see the real genius wizards!
