Chapter 247: A Rich Woman Is at Ease!

Chapter 247 A rich woman is here... Comfortable! (Subscribe)

After leaving the garrison area, Wei En took Tina for a casual stroll, bought a few best-selling knight novels, and found a hotel in the store area as a temporary residence on the island.

This is a hotel belonging to the Paskabiru family of the southern continent. The grass-green wall paint and various flowers, plants and trees make this hotel have a close-to-nature atmosphere, which is very out of tune with other shops around.

At the door is a half-human-high thousand-leaf grass. 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?"

Wai En looked at the branches and leaves of the thousand-leaf grass. This is indeed a plant with special rune array power.

The leaves are rune patterns, 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 head of the hotel, Ericon Paskabiru, smiled and said, "Wizard Wayne, you have a deep understanding of runes, right?"

"Well, what effect does it have?"

With Wayne's introductory knowledge of runes, which he is about to master, it is not difficult to analyze the rune array on this clover, but he needs auxiliary observation instruments and a certain amount of time.

"It is only used to purify the air. You know, there are many pirates on the island. They, um...most of them don't like to take a bath..."

Ericon is a very interesting noble. He is not very old, only five years older than Wayne, but he looks very mature.

However, the extraordinary nobles who can gain a foothold in the pirate city-state of Alexei do need some abilities.

Therefore, when Wayne and Tina passed by, he took the initiative to come over, hoping to provide them with accommodation, and also prepared two gifts for them, saying that they were welcome to Alexei Island.

This made Wayne feel very interesting.

You know, when he and Tina were "shopping", what he heard and saw were the pirates' fear, suspicion and ulterior motives.

And those powerful extraordinary people of noble origin mostly looked at them and disapproved of them. Ninety percent of the pirate groups sailing in the Cordo Sea could rob the "cowardly purple flower" family, which was nothing.

As for the Caster City-State incident...

In the eyes of their nobles, it was just a farce. Even those who were well-informed knew the role of the Ernst family in it - definitely more capable than a seemingly powerful deformed wizard.

Some people even believed that if it weren't for the appearance of Wayne, then old Ernst would have become a "legendary" noble, and he had seized the Caster City-State through the means that the nobles were good at.

Therefore, under such a cognition, the appearance of Erikon was very eye-catching.

"Purify the air?"

Wayne 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 on the Laos block at the time, the environment there would be much better.

"Mr. Ericon, where can I 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 pursuing knowledge and power, and rarely paid attention to the ability of purifying the air that was of no help to them.

"Yes." Wayne nodded, "If possible, I would like to buy more."

It has been a month since he left the Caster City-State. According to Marco, the reconstruction work should be completed in the near future.

So he wanted to buy some Thousand Leaf Grass and send it to Lacey, as a remembrance of the life of the Inquisitor and compensation for those who were hurt in the disaster.

"This..." Ericon hesitated and said, "In fact, Thousand Leaf Grass is very common in the South Continent. It is just the most common plant. If you need to purify the air and improve the environment, I can find other ones."

Very common?

Wayne raised his eyebrows. Is it everywhere in the South Continent?

It seems that the environment in the South Continent must be very good.

"Just the Thousand-leaf Grass, I can buy more."

"Okay," Ericon nodded, "How much do you want?"

"Enough to decorate a city-state, um, a city-state half the size of this one."

"That's a lot, I'll contact the family."

"Thank you! Send those Thousand-leaf Grasses directly to the Caster City-State of the Kingdom of Chatlan in the East Continent. The recipient is Minister Lacey Janes Montoya of the Secret Adjustment Department."

Wayne glanced at the Thousand-leaf Grass, thinking about the future of the entire Caster City-State, and dispelled the disaster scene hidden in his heart.

"I understand."

Ericon suddenly realized that it was prepared for the Caster City-State.

It seems that the rumors are not credible. This deformed wizard who was chased and judged by the Church of Dawn is not as violent and evil as described in the newspaper.

After solving the Thousand-leaf Grass and finding a temporary place to stay, Wayne told Ericon not to be disturbed, and he stayed in the room with the little white hair.

Afterwards, one person used the golden key to return directly to the theater space to deal with a few things, and temporarily let Tina stay outside.

He was not worried about this.

With the current strength of Little White Hair and Mr. Clown, there would be no danger or unexpected things.

"Are you back?"

Bored, Pavla was lying on the dining table. Seeing Wei En suddenly appear, she looked around with her clear eyes. After nothing happened, she muttered in disappointment: "Too much..."

The evil wizard had clearly agreed before, how come it didn't happen?

"What's too much?"

Wei En guessed her thoughts and asked in confusion.

"You!?" Pavla turned her head away and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Not only imprisoned me, but also threatened me and made me a maid... Now I don't even want to buy a few books...

It's too much!

Seeing her expression, Wei En chuckled a few times, took out a few brand new books that smelled of ink from the space ring and put them on the dining table, "It's been prepared a long time ago."

"Books?"

Pavla's face lit up, took the book and turned a page, then noticed the current situation and quickly put the novel away again.

"Hmph, I will pray to the Great Dawn to reduce some of your sins."

Wei En: "... Thank you."

You also prayed to the Lord of Dawn to reduce my sins for me. If He knew, I'm afraid he would knock your head off.

"You're welcome."

As she said that, Pavla ran to the rest area with the book in her arms, and she didn't forget to turn around and say, "Shava went to advance, dinner is in the kitchen."

Seeing her in such a hurry, Wayne laughed dumbly.

I didn't expect that this candidate saint of the Dawn Church had such a side, a little bookworm?

But Shava advanced?

Wayne glanced at the studio in the middle of the work area. It was exactly twenty days since the last advancement, so the speed was not slow.

But...it seems that the experimental progress of the mechanical undead subject needs to be accelerated.

Thinking of this, Wayne returned to the studio, sat at the workbench, and thought about this trip to the island.

The research of the subject cannot be rushed, and it can't be rushed.

But right now there is a more important thing, that is Ales Coulibaly!

In fact, when he left the Caster City-State, he knew that Director Ales would not give up the power of disaster on Tina.

But he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see him again so soon, and he didn't expect it to be here, on this Alexei Island.

This can only mean one thing -

"He's always watching me!"

Wayne narrowed his eyes. Being targeted by such a transcendent who could endure for nearly twenty years, no one could ignore it.

And this time, Ales is not alone!

He can be sure that with the mental means of the former director of the Secret Adjustment Department and the ability to connect with people shown in the Caster incident, Ales will definitely make full preparations for choosing to take action on this Alexei Island this time.

But Wayne is not sure who will appear.

Desire Sect, Abyss Sect, Eternal Life Society, Glory Society, or someone else?

He must find out all the possible people before Ales takes action, and try to put a perfect end to the Caster incident.

However, fortunately, in just half a day on the island this time, he unexpectedly gained something.

Not only did he figure out the whole story of the previous Caster City-State incident, but he also accepted a follower of the Desire Sect.

Follower...

Wayne can clearly sense Mitra's state at this time through the original power, and can even hear some of her thoughts.

Wizard Wayne is so bad.

Why didn't I see that he was so bad before?

But I like him so much...

"Hiss..."

Wayne noticed her thoughts and couldn't help but sigh twice. This person is indeed from the Desire Sect. 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 a pleasant surprise.

With Mitra as his insider, he can understand the situation on Ales' side to some extent.

As for the rest...

It depends on your ability!

Thinking of this, Wayne took out a pen and paper and wrote down the content of this time.

Although Ales himself could not compare with the major events of the Twilight Sect, the threat to him was equally huge.

He even suspected that the taboo 0-38 Clock of Truth that could lock his position belonged to Director Ales.

If so, he must prepare for it in advance.

The threat after the Clock of Truth goes out of control is not like the time of the Demon Clown - it will really be fatal!

"Dusk Sect, Ales, Dawn Church..."

After briefly writing down what he needed to do on Alexei Island, Wayne marked it and wrote a list of materials, then directly activated the black communicator to contact Theresa and the others.

It takes a lot of materials to set up a rune array on a large island.

After thinking about it, the only one who can help him at present is the Silvera family in the northern continent.

Ghost, spiritual secret?

He has other more important arrangements for these two wizard schools.

"Director."

Not long after, Theresa's energetic appearance appeared on the virtual screen.

"How is the research report of the project?"

"Director, there was an accident."

Accident?

Wayne asked puzzledly: "What accident? Does Dean Josué think that the report is not valuable enough?"

"No, it's not." Theresa smiled, "It's Instructor Bolas and others. They think that the value of our research institute's project is too great and it is 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 ghost legends are counted, it is only a profit of one million gold pounds.

At most, 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 arrangement of the school in this way 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 come forward 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 material list 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 [Explosive Sniper Rifle] and put the bullets in, and 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 treacherous nature of the Cordo Sea lies in its unpredictable nature. One second it was sunny and the waves were calm, but the next second it could be a doomsday scene with dark clouds, strong winds, and surging waves.

In addition, deep-sea monsters that appear from time to time, as well as groups of deep-sea mutants... all ships sailing on the sea must always be vigilant and even more respectful of this sea area.

Boom!

Rumble!

On the sea surface nearly 10,000 kilometers away from Awad Island, a huge dark cloud slowly moved northward. The lightning and thunder in the sky, the huge waves visible to the naked eye, and the roars coming from there made all the ships that saw it flee and detour.

"Full left rudder, hurry away from that damn storm!"

"Where's the boatswain? Take people to throw away all the unimportant things on the ship, and rob them when the money is gone!"

"..."

The scattered pirate ships and merchant ships of the nobles chose to detour as soon as they noticed the storm.

According to their experience, in such a storm, at least a five-masted sailing ship can maintain basic stability. The length of an ordinary three-masted sailing ship is only 50 meters, which is not as high as a wave.

"Look, there is a ship going in there!"

"Who is so brave?"

"Is it the Bekri?!"

"Black Jack, is that bastard back?"

"He is still so brave, he actually chose to cross it, is he so anxious to get to Avad Island?"

"Quick, quick, stop talking nonsense, and quickly bypass me!"

"Start the magic circle, speed up, speed up-"

In a corner of the storm sea area, dozens of ships that had just turned around confirmed the identity of the five-masted sailing ship through the lookout, and they couldn't help but sweat for him.

The five-masted sailing ship only guaranteed that it would not capsize in the storm, but there were not only waves there, but also terrifying mutants that were engulfed, and it was not impossible for a deep-sea monster to appear...

At this time, the Bekri.

Black Jack and Youan stood on the figurehead, their hair messed up by the violent sea breeze, 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? Those gravediggers are not simple, plus there are people from the Araniga, so you'd better be careful."

"I'm afraid of them?" Black Jack snorted, "It's better if that bastard Suade comes here too, so I can teach him a lesson for the captain."

"You?"

Youan glanced at him and didn't say anything else, but his tone was obviously unbelieving.

"I happened to be out when he was fighting with the boss last time, otherwise I would definitely have kept him. How could I be threatened like now?"

Black Jack said unconvincedly: "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!"

Yuan shook his head and advised: "Suade's strength was not weak before. After getting the taboo, there were sea taboos and other special areas. It's not surprising that he can get to where he is today."

"Jack, sometimes luck is also part of strength!"

When he was still at sea, he didn't believe in luck, fate and other illusory things, but since Carly got the favor of the Dawn, he experienced the weirdness of the power and suddenly felt that this should be the so-called fate.

Fate made him meet that woman, fate made him leave the pirate ship and go to Caster City-State, fate made Carly gain power and become a saint...

Somewhere, it seemed as if an invisible big hand was covering him, making a legend like him feel the pressure and threat...

"I know, but I'm still unhappy..."

Black Jack muttered a few words, looking at the edge of the storm that was getting closer and closer, and asked: "Didn't that bastard Menor say he was coming? It's been so long, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Him? His words are credible, he should be on the way." Euan thought about it and suggested: "Why don't we turn the bow and wait for him? You know, with him, we have a better chance."

"Forget it," Black Jack refused without thinking: "Lotilia is urging us every day, plus your things, the time of detour and waiting for delay... It's not worth it."

Euan nodded silently and didn't persuade him anymore.

At this time, Walid ran out of the cabin.

"Boss, all the magic circles have been activated, and the [Breaking Waves] on the bottom of the ship has been set up and can be activated at any time."

"And the sniper rifles that Wei En promised us have just been sent over. How do we arrange them?"

"Explosive sniper rifles?" Black Jack raised his eyebrows.

"It's those scary things."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let Marco and his team go to get the new equipment. It's been so long, it's time to let that kid's spear team move around."

"Yes!"

PS: Sorry, the update is much later today.
