Chapter 335 The Winner Will Eventually Arrive

"Praise the storm."

"Freedom, peace, conquest...may the Storm Lady honor Custer."

Believers dressed in the blue robes of the Church of Storms gathered in the square outside Krims Cathedral and chanted piously in praise of Lady Storm.

Above, near the middle of the church, there was a faint layer of blue light, emitting a fresh breath that spread around like a breeze.

Compared with the divine brilliance of the dawn before, the power of Storm Faith is closer to reality and no longer unattainable.

Moreover, as the believers chant, from time to time a believer will embark on the path of faith - a mark like a sail will appear on his forehead, and the power of storm faith will emerge from his body, moving toward the ghostly mass above. Blue convergence.

At this time, other people around him chanted in a more pious tone, with a hint of envy and a hint of envy, hoping that they would be next.

"Become a believer in Storm and you will enjoy the shelter of Storm Church."

"Becoming a believer in the storm will reduce your tax payment by 20%."

"Pious believers who embark on the path of faith in the Great Storm Lady, in addition to a 50% tax reduction, will also receive three 'Sanctuary Fires' every month and receive free treatment once a year..."

Listening to the chants of the storm believers, Wei En couldn't help but feel a little speechless as he looked at the announcement posted on the newly erected stone monument outside the central city.

In order to make more city-state residents become believers, the Church of Storms not only reduced taxes but also gave away gifts.

In comparison, when Dawn Church was here before, its operations such as collecting additional taxes, selling various daily necessities, and charging high treatment costs were simply inexperienced.

These are nothing. What makes Wei En dumbfounded is that the so-called "Shelter Fire" is the faith candle used by the Dawn Church to resist the pollution of the red moon.

It is said that the Church of Storms spent money to purchase candles from Dawn Church in bulk to subsidize all devout believers.

"This is really, unexpectedly generous..."

Wei En no longer knew how to describe the Church of Storms.

After all, it is one of the four major righteous churches in the world, but the Church of Storms is so friendly...

"The priests to whom the storm belongs are divided into four teams for routine patrols!"

"We are devout believers of Lady Storm. Please strictly abide by the doctrines and city-state regulations. We are strictly prohibited from intruding on ordinary people. If there is no danger, we are strictly prohibited from actively using the power of faith..."

"Praise the storm!"

Kaka.

Accompanied by loud chanting in unison, Wei En watched groups of clergymen from the Church of the Storm wearing dark blue armor and hanging swords at their waists, patrolling around from the central city.

There was a somewhat complicated and inexplicable look on his face, and the sense of dissonance in his heart disappeared.

If the announcement is still a means to gain believers, then these clergymen's regular inspections of the city-state can bring a sense of security to the residents here.

Wei En couldn't help but sigh, "If the Dawn Church was like this at that time, maybe the result wouldn't be like that..."

But he knew that this was just a helpless assumption and had no meaning.

And what happened that time was not just the Dawn Church’s fault, but also the Ernst family and the Noble Council, the Parliament and the Secret Service were all partly responsible.

Thinking of this, Wei En stopped looking any further. His mental perception covered the entire city-state, trying to find the figure who was familiar with him.

The only person in this city-state that he still wanted to stay in was Lacey...

Wayne glanced around a few times, but didn't see Lacey.

On the contrary, it is the Director of the Secret Investigation Department, Nifa Letitia Ellis, the former Chief of the Investigation Department of the Secret Investigation Department, Yegor Payne, Lacey’s brother Santiago Montoya, and even the former War Department Minister Abbot Sahib is at...

"Huh? Aren't you here?"

Wei En frowned, feeling strange in his heart, and started to walk towards the Secret Adjustment Department.

…

"Deputy Director Yegor, received a letter from Minister Lacey."

"Put it on the table."

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Director."

Yegor leaned on his chair and read the newspaper, holding a cigar in his mouth and exhaling thick smoke from time to time. His beard was a little gray, and his appearance was much worse than two months ago.

"There's chaos in the waters of Cordo, the nasty Black Pearl."

"The applications for Alexei Island are full. Is that where the boy Wei En is?"

"Well, the occult sect is out of trouble, and two demigod wizards have appeared in the Eastern Continent. The companions... hmm? Is that boy Wei En back to the Eastern Continent?"

"I didn't expect that he is doing so well now. I really want to go there and join him. Maybe I will have a more leisurely life than now."

After reading the newspaper, Yegor was deeply shocked.

Thinking back to three months ago, Wei En was a novice investigator who had just joined the Department of Secrets. Now he not only owns an island, but also travels with an extraordinary person of the level of a demigod...

In comparison, he, the investigator of the Secret Investigation Department who had spent half his life in the city of Custer, looked like a waste.

"It's a pity that Director Alais was killed by him, hey..."

Yegor sighed, picked up the envelope on the table, opened it, and glanced at the contents -

"Bastard Yegor personally said: Damn it, they said that my training and assessment scores were too good. Kelland wants me to stay. You should quickly ask the director to tell the people here that I don't want to stay here!"

"Also, the Kingdom of Chatland requested that the Secret Service Department and subordinates from various city-states send a group of people to the original site of Vazquez, saying that they were looking for a ruins. I don't know what they were doing."

"Anyway, get me out of here quickly!!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Yegor's mouth grinned and his expression was delighted.

"Ha, the secret investigation department of Cland has done a great job. Let Lacey stay there and never let her come back!"

"Talents like that must stay in Cland to shine for the entire kingdom!"

Yegor took two big puffs of the cigar, exhaled a long stream of smoke upwards, and laughed.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded:

"Minister Lacey, have you been to Cland?"

"Well, who?"

Yegor suddenly retreated and looked at a corner of the room with a wary look.

But after seeing the appearance of the person coming, his face froze, and he opened his mouth and shouted in surprise: "Wen?!"

"Long time no see, Deputy Director Yegor."

Wen kept up with the times and did not call him minister, but directly stated his current position as deputy director.

"You, you're back."

Yegor's face slowly calmed down, and he forced a smile and said, "It's good to come back and take a look, but Lacey is indeed not in Caster now, she has gone to the city-state of Kland."

"Oh."

Wayne glanced at the newspapers and envelopes on his desk, "If you don't mind, can I take a look?"

"Of course, please." Yegor had no intention of refusing.

Don't say that the previous things can't be blamed on Wayne, even if it's his fault, he can't refuse now.

Just kidding, a great wizard, the strength is at least above the ruling level, and it's not necessarily even at the level of the Hand of the Kingdom.

Unless he is crazy, he will refuse.

Wei En nodded, picked up the newspaper and envelope and quickly glanced through them, and said calmly: "When I came here, I saw those wood plants from the southern continent. If you like them, I can also contact the Paskabiru family." Yegor smiled and stood aside, smiling: "I like them, of course. Since those plants were planted, the air in the entire Dumitru district has become much fresher, and the number of people who come here every day has increased a lot." "Originally, I thought it was specially purchased by Lacey, but I didn't expect it was a gift from you." "It can be regarded as a purchase by Minister Lacey," Wei En said perfunctorily, put down the newspaper and envelope, looked at him and smiled: "Deputy Director Yegor, you don't have to be nervous." "No, I'm not nervous." Yegor laughed dryly twice. It would be strange if he wasn't nervous. God knows the purpose of this person coming to the Caster City-State... It shouldn't be to kill people, right? "I'm just passing by this time." Wayne rarely explained, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, since Lacey is not here, I won't stay any longer, and I'll return to Alexei Island now."

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes."

Wayne glanced around and slowly disappeared in the office, leaving only one sentence: "If you arrive at Alexei Island, you can go to the castle."

"Yes, yes..." Yegor nodded vigorously.

It was not until a long time later that he realized that Wayne had completely left, and then he sat back at his desk.

Yegor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Huh... Terrible..."

Although it was only a few minutes, the pressure Wayne brought to him was not small.

This was just an ordinary meeting. If it was a battle with him...

"Pah!"

Yegor gently slapped his cheek and cursed, "What strange things are you thinking about? How can you fight him?"

What's the difference between that and seeking death?

On the other side, Wayne came to the port outside the Basil Street District, turned around again and looked at the Caster City-State behind him, with an extremely calm expression.

For the Caster City-State, he was like a passer-by who had left some traces here.

But as time went by, the people in the city-state would forget his existence, and in the end, perhaps only a legend would remain.

Once, a wizard intelligence officer, while serving as an investigator in the Secret Investigation Department, slaughtered tens of thousands of Vasquez people and thousands of clergy of the Church of Dawn...

That's all!

"This is, after all, just a temporary stop..."

As the voice fell, Wayne's figure dissipated, and he teleported towards the increasingly clear Space Eye mark.

…

…

At the same time, in the castle located in the endless void, in the deep and towering hall, Miriam sat alone on the golden throne, looking at the empty corridor under the steps, and uttered a few words coldly:

"Spiritual Secret, has it failed too?"

"Yes,"

Audrina's figure slowly emerged on the throne on her side, with a helpless look under the golden mask: "With the cooperation of Vaklav and Velosa, and a strange wizard who can accurately lock the anchor point of the taboo, the Spiritual Secret School was able to escape."

"What about their losses?"

"Not good or bad, almost all wizard apprentices died, and the accumulation of nearly 30 years has formed a fault."

Miriam nodded calmly and continued: "Then let the people of the East Continent take action next, try to delay the recovery of the Spiritual Secret School, and focus on their newly recruited apprentices."

"Well, I have given the order."

The conversation fell into a long silence, and neither of them spoke again.

Until Audrina thought of something and asked, "How much do they know about us?"

"A lot."

"Is that so... I thought our existence was very secretive..."

Miriam said calmly: "Wizards are different from the extraordinary people in this world. Although we have not made many moves since the Second Era, their people have jumped out to stop us every time."

"It was Gonzales at first, then Lister and Anastasio, and then Brian appeared in the Fourth Era... There will always be a wizard whose strength is beyond imagination..."

"But in the end they all failed, didn't they?" Audrina turned her head and looked at her.

"According to those lunatics, failure is only temporary. If you pay more attention to them, you will know that almost every research project done by wizards will experience failure, and some projects have failed tens of thousands of times."

"It can be said that those lunatics who pursue knowledge have long been accustomed to failure, and are not afraid of failure..."

Hearing her words, Audrina said without hesitation: "We are the same, right? For three eras, every time ended in failure."

"The end of the last era was the closest to success, but unfortunately it still failed."

"Oh? Do you think so?" Miriam looked at her and asked with a smile in her eyes.

"Isn't it?"

"Hehe, if it was before that time, it was indeed a failure. But at the end of the last era, we succeeded."

"Huh? We succeeded?"

"Of course," Miriam smiled, not intending to explain more, just said lightly: "It's just that you didn't know the goal that time, and mistakenly thought it was a failure."

Audrina was stunned, the goal is different?

So, at the end of the last era, everything she knew was to hide the real purpose?

"I don't understand..."

"I don't understand why even you have to hide it?"

"Yes!"

Miriam asked with a smile: "When did 'Chaos' care about us? In their eyes, there is only this world, and we are just tools."

"You..."

Audrina took a breath, didn't expect her to say it so bluntly, this is not in line with her usual style, right?

"You are different from Christian, and I am different from you."

Miriam gently raised her hand and waved it, sighing: "This world belongs to the final winner, and the 'successful' will eventually come!"

"..."

Audrina chewed on this sentence, her deep eyes reflected her appearance, and she felt that she had never seen this "controller of chaos" clearly.

The final winner, isn't it the successful person, but two people?

She didn't understand...

"Don't ask too much, Audrina, just do the things in front of you. If the Dusk Cult can succeed, the God Forbidden Era will end here, and it will also make this world more broken... That will save us most of the time."

"Just wait for Christian to speak later, and I will go to the Cordo Sea."

"Not enough! Before that, pay more attention to the movements of those wizard schools. If they want to intervene, we may have to intervene in advance."

"Understood..."
