After leaving the garrison area, Wei En took Tina for a casual stroll, bought a few best-selling knights, and then found a hotel in the store area to serve as a temporary residence on the island.
This is a hotel that belongs to the Baskabiru family in the southern continent. The grass-green wall paint and surrounded by various flowers and trees give this hotel a close-to-nature atmosphere, which is very incompatible with other shops around it.
At the door is a thousand-leaf grass half as tall as a man. The veins on the crystal leaves are clear, and the faint flickering light makes it look like a work of art carved from jade.
"Rune power?"
Wei En looked at the branches and leaves of the Thousand Leaf Grass. This was indeed a plant with the power of a special runic circle.
There are rune patterns on the leaves, the connection between the main stem and the branches is the rune node, and the core...well, it should be at the rhizome covered by the soil.
Sensing his gaze, the person in charge of the hotel, Ericon Baskabiru, smiled and said, "Wizard Wynn, do you have a deep knowledge of runes?"
"Well, what effect does it have?"
With Wei En's introductory knowledge of runes that he is about to master, it is not difficult to analyze the rune array on this thousand-leaf grass, but he will need auxiliary observation instruments and a certain amount of time.
"It's just used to purify the air. You know, there are a lot of pirates on the island, and they, um...most of them don't like to take baths..."
Ericon is a very interesting nobleman. He is not very old, only five years older than Wayne, but he seems very mature.
However, the extraordinary nobles who can gain a foothold in the pirate city-state of Alexei do need some abilities.
Therefore, when Wei En and Tina passed by, he took the initiative to come over, hoping to provide accommodation for them. At the same time, he thoughtfully prepared two gifts for them, saying that they were welcome to Alexey. island.
This made Wayne feel very interesting.
You know, when he and Tina were "shopping", what they heard and saw were the pirates' fear, suspicion, and ulterior motives.
And those powerful extraordinary beings with noble backgrounds mostly looked at them with suspicion and disapproval. Ninety percent of the pirate groups sailing in the Cordo Sea could plunder the "Cowardly Purple Flower" family, which was nothing.
As for the Custer City State incident...
In the eyes of their nobles, it was just a farce, and even well-informed people knew the role of the Ernst family in it - it was definitely more powerful than a seemingly powerful deformed wizard.
Some people even believe that if it had not been for the appearance of Wei En, the old Ernst would have become a "legendary" noble, and he had conquered the city of Custer through the means that the nobles were good at.
Therefore, with this understanding, Ericon's appearance is very eye-catching.
"Purifying air?"
Wei En looked at the Thousand Leaf Grass with interest. Although the effects of these two runes were not powerful, they were very practical.
If there were a few similar plants in the original Laos neighborhood, the environment there would be much improved.
"Mr. Ericon, do you know where I can buy it?"
"Wizard Wayne, you, you want to buy Thousand Leaf Grass?"
Ericon was very surprised. According to his understanding of wizards, they were a group of monsters who pursued knowledge and power and rarely paid attention to the ability to purify the air that was not helpful to them.
"Yes." Wayne nodded, "If possible, I would like to buy more."
In total, it has been a month since he left the city of Custer. According to Marco, the reconstruction work should be completed in the near future.
So he wanted to buy some centipede grass and send it to Lacey, as a memory of that period of the investigator's life and as compensation for those who were harmed in that disaster.
"This..." Ericon hesitated and said, "Actually, Thousand Leaf Grass is very common in the Southern Continent. It is just the most common plant. If you need to purify the air and improve the environment, I can find others."
very common?
Wei En raised his eyebrows, are they everywhere in the Southern Continent?
It seems that the environment there in the southern continent must be very good.
"Thousand-leaf grass is fine. I can buy more."
"Okay," Ericon nodded, "How much do you want?"
"Enough to embellish a city-state, well, a city-state half as small as this one."
"That's a lot of money. I'll contact the family."
"Thank you very much! Send those Thousand Leaf Grasses directly to Custer City State in the Kingdom of Chartland in the Eastern Continent for me. The recipient will be Minister Lacey Janeses Montoya of the Secret Service Department."
Wayne glanced at Qianyecao and thought about what the entire Custer city-state would look like in the future, dispelling the scene of disaster hidden in his heart.
"clear."
Ericon suddenly realized that it was originally prepared for the city of Custer.
It seems that the rumors are not credible. This aberrant wizard who was chased and tried by the Church of Dawn is not as violent and evil as the newspapers said.
After dealing with the millifolia and finding a temporary place to stay, Wei En told Ericon that no one would disturb him, and he stayed in the room with Little White Hair.
After that, one person passed the golden key and returned directly to the theater space to deal with a few things, leaving Tina to stay outside for the time being.
He is not worried about this.
With Xiao Baimao's current strength and Mr. Clown, there won't be any danger or surprise.
"came back?"
Pafula, who was lying in front of the dining table in boredom, saw Wei En who suddenly appeared. Her clear eyes couldn't help but look around. After nothing happened, she muttered in disappointment: "It's too much..."
The evil wizard had obviously promised it before, so why not?
"What's too much?"
Wei En guessed what she was thinking and asked pretending to be confused.
"You!?" Pafla turned her head and didn't want to talk to him.
Not only did they imprison me, they also threatened me and asked me to be a maid... Now they are even unwilling to buy a few books...
That's too much!
Seeing her expression, Wayne chuckled a few times, took out a few brand new books that smelled of ink from the space ring and placed them on the dining table, "It has been prepared for a long time."
"Book?"
Pafula's face lit up, she took the book and turned a page. Then she noticed the current situation and quickly put it away again.
"Humph, I will pray to the Great Dawn to alleviate some of your sins."
Wayne: "...I thank you."
He also prayed to the Lord of Dawn on my behalf to reduce my sins. If He knew about it, he would probably knock his head off.
"You're welcome."
With that said, Pafula trotted towards the rest area with the book in her arms, not forgetting to turn around and say: "Shava went to advance, dinner is in the kitchen."
Seeing her in such a hurry, Wei En burst into laughter.
I didn’t expect that this candidate saint of Dawn Church would have such a side, little bookworm?
But Sharapova advances?
Wei En glanced at the studio in the middle of the work area. It had been exactly twenty days since his last promotion, which was not too slow.
But...it seems that the experimental progress of the mechanical undead project needs to be accelerated.
With this in mind, Wayne returned to the studio, sat down at the workbench, and thought about his trip to the island.
You can't rush the project research, and you can't rush it.
But there is a more important thing right now, and that is Ales Coulibaly!
In fact, when he left the city-state of Custer, he knew that Director Alais would not give up the power of disaster in Tina.
But he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see him again so soon, let alone here, on Alexei Island.
This can only mean one thing -
"He's watching me all the time!"
Wei En narrowed his eyes. Being targeted by such an extraordinary person who could endure it for nearly twenty years would be impossible for anyone else to ignore.
And this time, Alais is not alone!
He can be sure that with the mental skills of the former director of the Secret Service and the interpersonal skills shown in the Custer incident, if he chooses to take action on Alexei Island this time, Alexi will definitely do everything possible. Prepare.
But Wei En is not sure who will show up.
Desire Sect, Abyss Sect, Eternal Life Society, Glory Society, or someone else?
He must find all possible people before Alais takes action, and strive to bring the Custer incident to a successful conclusion.
However, fortunately, within just half a day of landing on the island, he unexpectedly gained something.
Not only did he figure out the whole story of the previous Custer City-State incident, he also gained a favored member of the Desire Sect.
The favored ones...
Wei En could clearly sense Mitra's state at this time through his original power, and could even hear some of her inner thoughts.
Wizard Wayne, so bad.
Why didn't you see that he was so bad before?
However, I really like it...
"hiss……"
Wei En noticed her thoughts and couldn't help but click his tongue twice. This person really deserves to be from the Desire Sect, and he is indeed different from people from other sects.
But apart from these, being able to sign a master-servant contract with her is indeed a very big gain and an unexpected blessing.
With Mitra as his internal agent, he can understand some of the situation on Alais' side.
As for the rest…
Then it’s all up to you!
Thinking of this, Wei En took out a pen and paper and wrote the content this time.
Although Alais personally cannot compare with the events of the Twilight Sect, the threat to him is equally huge.
He even suspected that the forbidden object 0-38 Bell of Truth, which could lock his position, belonged to Director Alais.
If this is the case, then he must prepare for it in advance.
The threat when the Reality Clock goes out of control is not like that of the Demon Clown - it can really kill you!
"Twilight Sect, Alais, Dawn Church..."
After briefly writing down the things to do on Alexei Island, Wayne marked and wrote a list of materials, and then directly activated the black liaison device to contact Teresa and the others.
Setting up a rune array on a large island requires a large amount of materials.
After much deliberation, the only one who has the ability to help him currently is the Silvera family in the Northern Continent.
Ghosts, secrets?
He has other more important arrangements for these two wizarding schools.
"Master Director."
Not long after, Teresa's energetic appearance appeared on the illusory screen.
"How's the research report on the project going?"
"Director, something happened."
Accident?
Wei En asked doubtfully: "What accident? Does Dean Josue think that report is not valuable enough?"
"No, it's not." Teresa smiled broadly, "It's Mentor Boras and the others. They feel that the research topic in our institute is too valuable and not suitable to be disclosed to the Shadow School!"
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
This was beyond Wei En's expectation. According to his speculation, the appearance of the mechanical undead would indeed have a certain impact, but it was much worse than the shortcomings of the spell runes, so the school should not pay so much attention to it.
"When I went to submit the report, Dean Josue was lecturing the great wizards of various research institutes, saying that they were not capable enough and had been conducting research all day long but with no results..."
"Those people still looked down on our institute and didn't believe in the value of our project. Unexpectedly, after reading it, Dean Josue told them that they were not qualified to view this report, hahaha..."
"You don't know, the directors of those research institutes were all green at that time, especially the great wizard Scotty who was even more gloomy. Huh, after this time, let's see if they still dare to look down on us!"
"There is also the Ice Castle. After the dean handed over the report, Tutor Boras urgently convened a legendary meeting to discuss whether to use this project report as a competition..."
As Teresa danced and told the whole story, Wayne also understood the school's plan.
Now most of the legendary ghost wizards recognize the value of the mechanical undead subject, and have also discussed the level and gold pounds required to exchange related knowledge.
According to the rules of the school, for every research report on the subject of mechanical undead that is redeemed in the future, their institute will receive fifty thousand gold pounds.
However, 50,000 gold pounds seems like a lot, but after adding the condition of "can only be redeemed by legends", even if all the ghost legends are counted, it is only a profit of one million gold pounds.
At best, the total income will only cover the gold pounds spent on the current research...
In contrast, the school's arrangements for the rune array board topic are even more exciting.
"You're saying that the school plans to make the research report on the rune array board a compulsory course for wizards to inherit knowledge? Are you also planning to put my name in the wizard's handbook?"
Teresa nodded excitedly, "Yes, Director. Instructor Boras also said that as long as we can come up with complete knowledge of the rune array board, he will convene the other four major wizard schools and use this knowledge as a Common to all schools of thought.”
Hearing this, Wayne frowned.
The rune array board and the mechanical heart rune device are matching, and can only be used by the mechanical undead of the ghost and the mechanical school. The knowledge systems of other schools are not very compatible...
"Teresa, did Boras Legend tell you the purpose of this arrangement?"
"That's not true."
Teresa looked at Wei En, who looked calm, and felt a little confused. Why didn't the director look very happy?
"Do you have any questions? I can ask the instructor."
"Well... not yet."
Wayne shook his head. He couldn't imagine the use of the board in the wizarding systems of the Mystery, Blood Spirit and Shadow schools. It didn't mean that the Legend of Boras and those wizarding schools couldn't think of it.
Moreover, the school's arrangement would benefit him even more.
In addition to the benefits obtained from exchanging knowledge, the presence of his name in the wizard's handbook is of great value.
Although the value is not gold pounds, it is something that cannot be measured by gold pounds - it will elevate his status in the wizarding world to a height that others cannot imagine.
Just like Garman McAleese, the legendary wizard of the Blood Spirit School, he can also try to advertise in the Wizard's Codex.
Well, forget it... keep a low profile.
"Since the school does not require us to participate in the competition of the Shadow School, then proceed according to the plan mentioned before. After you have a rest, you can start preparing for the next step of research."
"Okay, Director, I'll explain it to them right now."
"Don't worry," Wei En waved his hand to stop the rich wizard's movements, took out the parchment he had just written on, and said, "I will send you a list of materials later. You can collect them as soon as possible and send them to me. I will use them. "
"Materials? Are they related to the topic?" Teresa asked.
Previously, she had issued purchasing requirements through family channels in accordance with the arrangements of the institute... Could it be that because of the arrangement of the school, the director felt that the materials were not enough?
That’s not right either…
"No, it's what I need to set up a rune array here."
"No problem, please feel free to leave it to me."
Wayne nodded, "Thank you."
"Director, I should thank you for letting me join the institute..."
It is extremely reassuring to have such a rich woman whose family owns a mine in the institute.
After a while, after ending the call with Teresa, Wayne passed the list of materials through the blue and white box.
"Almost forgot."
Looking at the box with flashing rune patterns, Wei En suddenly remembered that he had not sent out the [Explosion Sniper Rifle] made for Black Jack and Menor.
Menoer is not in a hurry and will give it to him next time he sees him.
Thinking like this, he took out the teleportation device provided by Black Jack before leaving, and asked the driver to summon the mechanical door to take out the [explosion sniper rifle] and bullets and put them in. Then he saw the rough mechanical teleportation device rumbling.
Wei En curled his lips. Compared with the intelligence officer equipment provided by Ghost, the equipment provided by the pirates on the Black Pearl seemed much cruder.
"I don't know where Marco and the others are now..."
We should be near Awad Island soon, right?
I remember that when we separated last time, Black Jack said that he would get there as soon as possible.
…
…
The strangeness of the Cordo Sea lies in its ever-changing nature. One second it may be sunny and windy, with gentle waves, and the next second it may be a doomsday scene of overcast clouds, strong winds, and monstrous waves.
Coupled with the deep-sea behemoths that appear from time to time, as well as groups of deep-sea aberrations... all ships sailing on the sea must always be vigilant, and they must remain in awe of this sea area.
boom!
Boom!
On the sea nearly 10,000 kilometers away from Awad Island, a huge cloud slowly moved northward. The sky was full of lightning and thunder, the huge waves visible to the naked eye, and the roar coming from there, all made everyone who saw it. The ships fled and went around.
"Left rudder, get away from that damn storm!"
"Where's the bosun? Take the people and throw away all the unimportant things on the boat. If the money is gone, grab it again!"
"..."
The scattered pirate ships and merchant ships of nobles immediately chose to take a detour as soon as they noticed the storm.
Based on their experience, in such a storm, at least a five-masted sailing ship would be required to maintain basic stability. The hull length of an ordinary three-masted sailing ship is only fifty meters, which is less than the height of a wave.
"Look, there's a boat coming in there!"
"Who is so brave?"
"Is it the Bekli?!"
"Black Jack, that bastard is back?"
"Is he still so brave that he chose to cross over and rush to Awad Island in such a hurry?"
"Quick, quick, stop talking nonsense and get out of my way!"
"Start the magic circle, speed up, speed up -"
In a corner of the stormy waters, dozens of ships that had just turned around confirmed the identity of the five-masted sailing ship through the observation deck, and they couldn't help but sweat for him.
The five-masted sailing ship only ensured that it would not capsize in that storm, but there were not only waves there, but also terrifying aberrations that were being carried away. It was not impossible that a giant deep-sea beast would even appear...
At this time, the Bekli.
Black Jack and Euan stood on the bow of the ship, their hair messy in the violent sea wind, but they both looked at the stormy sea ahead with serious expressions.
"Let me see who those bastards are!"
"Don't be careless. Have you forgotten what Menor said before? The strength of those gravediggers is not simple, and there are also people from the Araniga. It's better to be careful."
"Am I afraid of them?" Black Jack snorted: "It's best that that bastard Suad comes here and lets me teach him a lesson for the captain."
"you?"
Euan glanced at him and said nothing, but his tone was obviously full of disbelief.
"The last time he had a fight with the boss, I happened to be out. Otherwise, I would definitely have left him here. How could he be as threatened as he is now?"
Black Jack said unconvinced: "If that bastard hadn't been lucky enough to get the 'Homecoming', I would have killed him in the Cordo Sea a few years ago."
"Don't say angry words!"
Euan shook his head and advised: "Suad's strength was not weak in the past. After getting the forbidden object, there were harvests from the sea taboo and other special areas. It is not surprising that he is where he is today."
"Jack, sometimes luck is also part of strength!"
When he was still at sea, he didn't believe in such illusory things as luck and destiny, but since Carly obtained the Holy Familiar of Dawn and experienced the strange power of authority, he suddenly felt that this should be the so-called destiny.
Destiny made him meet that woman, fate made him leave the pirate ship and go to the city of Custer, fate made Carly gain power and become a saint...
In the dark, there seemed to be an invisible big hand covering him, making a legend like him feel the pressure and threat...
"I know, but I still feel uncomfortable..."
Black Jack muttered something, looked at the edge of the storm that was getting closer, and asked, "Didn't that bastard Menor say he's coming? It's been so long, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Him? His words are quite credible. He should be on the way already." You An thought for a while and suggested: "How about we turn the ship around and wait for him? You know, with him here, we have greater confidence. .”
"Forget it," Black Jack refused without thinking, "Lotilia's daily urging, plus the matters on your side, the detour and waiting and delaying time... are not cost-effective."
Euan nodded silently and did not persuade him any more.
At this time, Walid ran out of the cabin.
"Boss, all the magic formations have been activated, and the [Breaking Waves] on the bottom of the boat have been arranged and can be activated at any time."
"And the sniper rifle that boy Wei En promised us has just been sent here. How to arrange it?"
"Explosive sniper rifle?" Black Jack raised his eyebrows.
"It's those scary things."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and let Marco take his team to get the new equipment. After so long, it's time to let that kid's spear team move around."
"yes!"
PS: Sorry, the update is very late today.
