Chapter 145 Each Is Wonderful (Please Subscribe)
Five days later, deep in the Von Enrizo Mountains in the central area of the northern continent.
The sky is shrouded in a year-round fog, and dozens of large and small castles are scattered throughout the mountain. Some Gonzalez words can be vaguely discerned from the signs at the castle gates - The Ghost School Research Center is dangerous and forbidden to enter.
Each castle is a research group, such as the Kristan Wizard Research Group, the Cochrane Grand Wizard Institute, the Briese-Red Moon Theory Institute...
I saw a young man wearing a white dress, black hair parted in the middle, and gold-rimmed glasses. He came to the door of the center with a black box and waited quietly.
"Sigur Bint?"
At this time, a sound similar to the rotation and friction of gears sounded in his ears.
"It's me." The young man lowered his head slightly. Although there was nothing in front of him, he still behaved very appropriately. With a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "I was sent by the Siegel Newspaper Agency to visit Dean Josue. I have an appointment. .”
"Come in, Ghost No. 18 Wizard Research Group, Dean Josue is waiting for you there."
"clear."
Siegel breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not his first time here, he was still very nervous when facing these wizards who had been dealing with undead, machines, flesh and blood, red moon and other extraordinary properties for many years.
He followed the guidance of the voice and walked straight to the stone stairs on the left.
It has to be said that most wizards of the Ghost School have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The stone staircases and stone paths surrounding all castles are symmetrical no matter what species of trees they are on both sides. Even if they are different species, the ghosts will find ways to prune them into the same shape.
For example, vines and thorn flowers, especially thorn flowers, have thin rhizomes. In order to match the vines, these thorn flowers are woven together, the flowers are trimmed, and special potions are used to keep both sides of the same growth, thickness, and length...
The same is true for those stone staircases, which are exactly the same regardless of length and height. Even at some corners, the wizards have painstakingly set up rune arrays so that people who step on the stone stairs will not feel the deflection of the angle.
"boom!"
Just as Siegel was immersed in climbing, a roar came from a castle not far away.
"On the 44th, an accident occurred in the Christian Wizard research team. The Renovation Department went to recover the body. Oh, is Christian Wizard okay? Then the Renovation Department withdraws..."
Listening to the regretful tone in the sound of the gears turning and rubbing, Siegel couldn't help shaking his hands, and secretly cheered: The goal is not to die here, absolutely not!
Not long after, he finally stood at the door of Castle No. 18, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his sweat, straightened his clothes, showed a smile he had practiced countless times on his face, and stepped in.
I don’t know what kind of person Dean Josue is, but I hope it will be easier to communicate with Mr. Grand Wizard Sheldon in the Apprentice Management Office.
Well, hold on, not dying is victory - all for the gold pound!
Siegel stood at the door of the castle and waited for a moment before a young wizard with messy hair in black robes came out and stared at him with an unhappy face.
"Teacher Josue is waiting for you, come with me!"
"Thank you."
Siegel did not show any dissatisfaction and followed him respectfully and walked inside.
The layout of the entire castle was similar to that of Castle No. 31 he had seen before. Dozens of undead of various shapes stood at the door, holding some bones to gnaw on.
It is said that those bones were purchased from the world of the undead and were specially used to enhance the strength of undead creatures.
And the area at the door is also called the undead storage place by the ghosts - well, the undead creatures are very satisfied with storing themselves and bringing their own food.
Pretty friendly place, right?
"Teacher Josue, the person you are waiting for has arrived." The young wizard took him to a spacious office deep in the castle, knocked on the door and said, "If you have no other instructions, I will go back and continue my unfinished research. .”
"oh."
Dean Josue sat on a large, high-backed chair with his back to the door. Without turning around, he stretched out a dry, bloodless arm and waved.
Seeing this, the young wizard quickly turned around and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to whisper: "Remember, you only have one hour."
One hour?
enough.
With a smile on his face, Siegel stood respectfully at the door and said in an unhurried voice: "Dear Dean Josue, I am Siegel Bint from the Siegel Newspaper Agency. I take the liberty of interrupting..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dean Josue: "I want to know the recent news about our wizard apprentice, um, wizard."
"Are you referring to...the aberrant wizard named Wei En?" Siegel asked carefully.
"Aberrant wizard? Tsk, who allowed you to use such a title without authorization and put it on the noble honorary wizard of our Ghost School?"
"Rong, honorary wizard?"
Siegel was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts changed rapidly, "Sorry, my wording was wrong. I will tell you about the news about Wizard Wayne."
"Yes." Dean Josue made a nasal sound that seemed to be a hum, obviously asking him to continue.
Siegel felt a little relieved, and quickly took out various newspapers and notes that he had prepared, and read them one by one.
"First of all, the Gazette of the Kingdom of Chatland published a report on the disaster that occurred in the city of Castel the day before yesterday. The whole kingdom mourned and expressed deep regret for Count Ernst who died in this incident."
"Condemn the Abyss Sect's attempt to sacrifice sacrifices to summon the demon leader in the city of Custer. Fortunately, they were stopped by the Guardian Knight of Dawn. Thank you Dawn."
"In order to ensure that Custer's reconstruction work is carried out in an orderly manner, Clander has sent a rescue team to Custer and will cooperate with Bishop Nayik of the Church of Storms to strive to complete it as soon as possible."
"It is reported that Alais Coulibaly was the former director of the Secret Affairs Department of Castor City State. He faked his death and escaped and borrowed special items to resurrect... During this period, a total of 120,000 people died, including 300 nobles and 3,000 Dawn believers. , the others are city-state residents.”
"Wayne Loft, whose identity has been verified as the Intelligence Officer of the Ghost School stationed in Custer City State, the Investigator of the Secret Adjustment Department, and the owner of special items, is a deformed wizard with amazing strength and cruel personality..."
"Aberrant wizard?" Dean Josue's cold voice sounded.
Siegel quickly said: "Sorry, he is an honorary wizard. In this incident, he killed tens of thousands of Vazquez warriors and thousands of priests of the Church of the Dawn alone in this incident. There were countless other casualties."
"There is also an announcement from Custer City State that the legend of disaster Alais and Wei En, the honorary wizard of your school of abnormality, will be included in the permanent unwelcome list, and their files will be destroyed..."
Having said this, Siegel paused, took out another briefing paper, and continued reading:
"In addition, according to the latest news, the Church of Dawn also held an emergency archbishop-level meeting regarding the bad events that occurred in the city-state of Castor. The meeting decided to punish the two leaders-the legend of disaster Ales Coulibaly and Honorary wizard Wayne Loft issued a continent-wide ruling!"
"And the current Pope of Dawn Church, St. Jobin XV, has publicly stated that he will never let go of anyone who harms members of Dawn Church."
"At the same time, the three Judgment Knights at the Dawn Church headquarters have also set out for Custer to track down and kill the two leaders of this incident."
"Finally, there is a piece of gossip. St. Jobin XV cursed the Church of Storms in the Judgment Hall as a clown, the driving force behind the whole incident, and a thief who only knows how to do evil things..."
"For this, Ms. Maureen of the Church of Storms cursed..."
Squeak.
As the voice sounded, the chair turned around, and Dean Josue chuckled: "Are you sure it was Ms. Maureen who cursed?"
"Indeed, sure... ah no, it's just hearsay, the kind that's hard to verify..."
Seeing the appearance of Dean Josue, Siegel was shocked. Is he a skeleton wizard?
Dean Josue was seen leaning on the slightly spacious chair. He was wearing a black robe with the black fire and red eye symbol representing the ghost school embroidered on his chest.
But under the robe, his crystal clear white bone body only occupies a quarter of the seat cushion, and his height should be less than one and a half meters tall.
"Well," Dean Josue nodded his skull, opening and closing his two rows of teeth, "What do you want to ask?"
"Ask, oh," Siegel took out a pen and paper, preparing to record, and then showed a confident expression, "May I ask Dean Josue, what do you think about what the wizard did?"
"view?"
Dean Josue flicked his white nails and said coldly: "Wizard Wei En is the core wizard of ghosts. He was awarded the title of honorary wizard by the school yesterday and enjoys the rights of a great wizard."
"And as far as I know, he was just forced to fight back. It was the incompetence of the top officials of that city-state that led to such a thing... Well, Wizard Wynn is also one of the victims!"
Suffer, victim?
Siegel gritted his teeth and recorded his words. So many people died under the wizard's spell, but they were still forced to do it. Are they victims?
"Second question, I would like to ask Dean Qiao Sue, will the ghost respond to the wanted order from the Dawn Church?"
"Response?" Dean Josue snorted, "No matter who it is, the honorary wizard who dares to arrest and harm the ghost will definitely pay the price!"
"third……"
Within ten minutes, Siegel was sweating profusely and put away the pen and paper.
To sum it up in one sentence, the ghost is not afraid of anyone, will protect the honorary wizard Wei En, and reserves the right to pursue those who harm him.
"Well, I still have some time. Can I go visit your institute?"
The red light in Dean Josue's eyes flashed, he stood up and floated in the air, flying outward, "Let's go, I just have to go over to check the progress of the research."
Siegel wiped his sweat and cheered secretly. It would be good if he could visit the research project...
However, when he entered the internal research space, he found that it was different from the serious, quiet, and meticulous research atmosphere he had imagined. Instead, there were all kinds of chaotic sounds intertwined together.
The sound of quarrels, either shrill or loud, can be heard——
"I think he is based on the runes of the Corpse Explosion Technique, plus the explosion runes and disease..."
"Haha, you don't mean to add a few more powerful diseases to the spell?"
"This is the best solution!"
"Go away, didn't you see that after more than ten explosions, the power of the corpse explosion doubled? The range at the back is larger, the power is stronger, and the disease is triggered faster. How are you going to solve it?!"
"Damn it, this corpse explosion technique... I can't analyze it, I'm such a waste!"
"...That flashing spell is of the elemental system. How can there be a clone? How can it cast a charm spell?!"
"Your Excellency, Wizard Wei En, is truly a genius who is not seen in a hundred years, no, in ten thousand years. His attainments in runes are something I will never be able to match in my lifetime... wu wu... I want to transform into an undead. Life is too short..."
"Don't you think the most important thing to study is the mechanical weapon in his hand? I bet there must be explosion runes on it!"
"...I am willing to sacrifice the life of Master Josue for a hundred years, just to let me analyze all the runes contained in that corpse explosion technique!"
"Add a thousand years!"
"a thousand years……"
"roll!"
Dean Josue couldn't help but kicked in the door and cursed: "Trash, idiots, I gave you two days, but you didn't make any progress at all. You are just a bunch of losers..."
All the wizards who were discussing fell silent and listened to his roar.
However, Siegel noticed that the wizards' voices had stopped, but they were still scratching their heads and looking irritated.
"...Listen to me, everyone should unite their thoughts and study the corpse explosion technique, and be sure to increase its power to that of, um, close to Wizard Wayne..."
"Damn it, if you weren't so stupid..."
Gee, if this scene could be filmed - it would be a hundred times more exciting than the previous interview!
…
…
At the same time, the city-state of Custer.
After five days of cleanup, all the sacrificed people were cleared out with the help of the Holy Legion of the Church of the Storm, and a unified funeral was held for them.
After the funeral, those who survived were all commanded by the people of the Provisional City Guards and the Provisional Council and joined in the reconstruction of the city-state.
The investigators of the Secret Investigation Department, under the leadership of Director Nifa, continue to abide by their duties as investigators.
"So, this is your choice?"
"Doesn't it look good?"
Marco looked down at the brand new jacket he was wearing and smiled: "This is the same style as Black Jack. I found someone to make it custom-made with great difficulty."
"...You also said, that's Black Jack, you?" Lacey crossed his arms and said disdainfully.
"Hey, hey, hey, Lacey, I'm no longer working in the Secret Adjustment Department, so you can't be merciful?"
"I can teach you a lesson at any time even if you don't work in the department!"
Marco waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, I can't convince you, and I can't beat you, but... before I leave, I have one more thing to ask you."
"Tell me."
"Help me think of a famous name," Marco said distressedly: "I thought about it for two whole days, hesitating between the handsome guy and the handsome guy."
"..."
A bright smile appeared on Lacey's face, she clenched her fist and shook it, "Is this a problem you can't solve?"
Marco was shocked and jumped away quickly, "No, I was just joking with you. After all, if you go to sea, you may not be able to come back for a long time, or maybe..."
"Stop! There is no second possibility!"
"Yes Yes……"
"Red hair, red hair Marco, how about it?"
"Red hair? No!" Marco curled his lips, "One day I will become the emperor of the sea, red-haired Marco? No, no, no..."
"Emperor of the Sea? Just you?" Lacey snorted: "It's even more unreliable than me becoming the consul of Custer City State."
"Consul? Okay, the future consul Lacey."
"roll!"
"Haha, Lord Consul, you are actually blushing..."
boom!
"Huh? It hurts!"
"..."
The two quarreled for a while, and unknowingly watched each other fall silent.
"The boat is waiting impatiently, I should go... huh??"
Lacey stepped forward and gave him a hug, humming: "You can leave if you want, just remember that your hometown is Custer!"
Marco sat up. The ponytail on the back of his head had been cut off, leaving only a piece of red hair. A bright smile appeared on his handsome face.
"I'll see you again, I promise!"
With that said, Marco stepped forward and hugged her, "I have decided to call myself Tyrant - one day, you will hear my name on the sea, Archon Lacey!"
"I'm waiting for that day..."
Lacey slapped him hard on the back.
"Let's go!" Marco turned around gracefully, "See you next time, Lacey... Minister!"
Looking at his leaving figure, Lacey's expression darkened.
Thinking back on that night, it was like a dream that happened yesterday.
Wayne, Tina... I hope you are all well... This is out of friend's last concern.
"If you see Wei En, say sorry to him for me!!"
"I will!"
"See you next time...bastard..."
The same scene was happening on the Golden Street not far from them.
"Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?" Youan looked at Carly resentfully, as if his beloved little cotton-padded jacket had run away with someone.
"Um."
Carly nodded calmly, "This time I will go to the Dawn Sanctuary with Melbell, study there for a period of time to hone myself, and then travel to various places..."
"Actually, I didn't follow..."
"No, father!"
Youan looked at her determined look and said in a daze: "Okay, I won't follow you this time, but if you encounter difficulties, you must remember to send me a message."
"Um."
After saying that, Carly turned around without any hesitation, followed Melbell who was standing not far away, boarded a carriage with the logo of the Church of the Dawn, and galloped towards the east of the city-state.
Stay safe, Carly...
You Jing stood there quietly, looking at the gradually disappearing carriage, his face became more and more ferocious.
So is this the power of authority?
It’s not just the authority holder who has changed, but also him, a person who has a certain weight in Carly’s heart!
Damn it, he actually forgot so many things under the influence of that strange power.
Authority, authority—there must be a way around it!
"Epidemic Doctor Maurice, your Carly has left. Shouldn't it be time for us to set off?"
When Euan heard this voice, he nodded coldly, "Take me to Captain Isabello, Black Jack."
"Of course, of course, if it weren't for you, I would have been drinking heavily at Dad's place right now..."
…
…
On the other side, after Marco left, Lacey returned to the administrative area of the Secret Service.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Minister Lacey, please take your place." Director Nifa nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Secretary!"
"Go on, Balazs."
Deputy Director Balazs glanced around and continued: "The city-state will have two months of reconstruction work in the next two months. At that time, the Church of Storms will give priority to building a lighthouse to withstand the red moon..."
"At the same time, they will also move some believers from other city-states and start the reconstruction of a new church at the old site of Krims Cathedral..."
"And our Secret Investigation Department also needs to recruit new investigators..."
"Minister Lacey, your investigation department, personnel..."
"Secretary Santiago, your war department..."
"The above is the entire content of today's meeting!"
After Director Nifa heard this, he looked at the two senior officials wearing red uniforms with bright eyes and said, "Deputy Director Abbott, Deputy Director Yegor, please give me your support."
"Yes, Director."
"Huh?" Yegor poked his head out from behind the newspaper blankly and blew out a smoke ring, "You don't need me..."
boom!
A flash of cold light passed by, and a two-handed ax passed through the newspaper in his hand and struck directly between his legs.
"Deputy Director Yegor, what do you mean?"
"Minister Lacey..."
Yegor stared blankly at the ax so close to his legs, and the cigar in his mouth slowly slipped halfway, "...Don't worry about it, I will support you."
"That's good." Lacey took back his ax, shook his head and sat down.
At this time, Deputy Director Balazs said calmly: "Damage to public property, Minister Lacey, fined 20 gold pounds."
"What?!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
…
…
At the same time, in a small town in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.
Wei En looked at the snowflakes floating in front of him, clenched his hands into fists, and gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you say your destination was?"
"South, South Continent..." Claire shrank her head in disbelief, not daring to look at him.
"What now?"
"I don't know why the direction is opposite. It's all because of that damn misty forest..."
"Admit it, you are just a road idiot, aren't you?!"
"Don't be angry~"
PS: Volume 1, the end, this time it’s real!
The second volume of stories will be updated starting tomorrow, but it may be a little short. I hope you will continue to support it.
