Chapter 147 Set Sail (Please Subscribe)
After experiencing the Custer City State incident, Wei En deeply understood that if he wanted to survive in this world, he must have enough strength to protect himself.
He knew very well that this time he could kill those Basques and defeat Alais, but only by relying on the abnormal increase caused by Tina's disaster origin.
If he only relied on his own strength, let alone defeating Alais, the spears in the hands of the Basques could pierce him.
In the end, although his awakened natural ability also plays a role, first his own basic attributes must reach a certain level.
These days, Wayne's mood is somewhat complicated when he thinks back to what happened that night.
There was some joy, some fear, some sadness at parting. At the same time, he also felt a little confused and at a loss about the future, but he had no regrets.
Even if he is given another choice, he will still kill those Basques, choose to attack Alais, choose to sacrifice the Dawn Priest to resurrect Tina...
The choice to join the Eternal Life Society was a decision that Wei En made after careful consideration.
But before that, he had to ask some things clearly - for example, about the letter that Menor sent to Alais, their relationship and Eternal Life's attitude towards him, etc.
"Menor, what is your identity in your Eternal Life Society? I feel like you care about him very much?"
Wayne and Claire walked through the performance stage in the center of the theater and came to the backstage on the other side.
This is a private space separated by Wayne for a few people, mainly him, Tina and Claire Sawa, who are also the former regular residents of No. 44 Golden Avenue.
"Menor, well... he is one of the twelve elders of our Eternal Life Society, and he has certain command authority over others."
Claire took him to the door of the private space and reminded: "And he is one of the easier people to talk to in the Eternal Life Society, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yeah." Wayne didn't care what Menor's personality was. During this time, he had also met some people with unique personalities, and there were many people who were difficult to talk to.
No matter how hard Menor speaks, how can he be compared to Mr. Leonard?
"However, the number of people in our Eternal Life Society is not large. Compared with the Abyss Sect and the Despair Sect, which have many believers, there is a big gap. So far, the number of members has just reached 2,000, and you should be the 2,001st member."
Are there not many members?
Wei En glanced at her thoughtfully and did not ask.
He still remembered the contents of the epochal relics he translated when he first joined the Department of Secrets - the Dawn Church of the Third Era captured 3,000 members of the Eternal Life Society, sacrificed them and used the resurrection coffin to resurrect the Archbishop.
Killing three thousand members at will is not a loss that an organization of average size can bear.
However, maybe in the third era, Yongsheng will be more powerful?
Well, I need to confirm again.
Claire introduced as she walked: "Most of us are scattered in various continents. We are not closely connected with each other, and most of the time we don't gather together."
"Unless an elder issues a task and calls some members to participate, everyone else is busy doing their own thing."
Wayne nodded, "Oh."
A relatively loose organization with no mandatory task requirements for personnel and no necessary obstacles...
"How did you bring these people together?"
"I'll tell you after you actually join." Claire smiled without answering and pushed him directly into the room.
"Um?"
Before he could continue asking, he saw Claire closing the door outside.
"..."
Wei En curled his lips and thought about settling the score with her after it was over.
He glanced around the room and saw that the entire room was decorated in girly pink by Claire just like before on Golden Avenue. Almost all daily necessities and decorations were pink.
"She really likes pink...it really doesn't match the style she showed before..."
"Oh? Do you think so too?"
At this time, a hoarse voice came from the side.
Wayne turned around and looked, but no one was there. After using his mental perception coverage, he realized something. He walked straight to the dressing table and looked at a mirror half a person's height in front of him.
"Your Excellency Menor?"
"It's me. You can also call me my code name in the Eternal Life Society - Black Snake."
Black snake?
Sounds a lot like wizard?
"Oh, Lord Wu She."
Wayne looked calmly at the figure in the mirror. His entire body was shrouded in a red robe, and no other physical features were exposed except his face.
The face covered by the red hood is not clear, and there is a strange sense of fragmentation - as if the two sides are not in the same dimension, separated by layers of space.
"Qianmian has already reported your situation to me, but even without her telling you, I still know something about you who did what you did in Custer City State a few days ago."
Menoer's voice was neither urgent nor slow, nor did it contain any emotion. It was extremely plain, but it did not make people feel cold, as if he didn't care about Wei En's joining.
Wayne didn't speak, quietly waiting for his next words.
"Not just anyone can make my good friend run away in embarrassment..."
At this point, Menor's voice had a hint of emotional change, as if he was gloating about his misfortune.
However, Wei En was a little surprised. He actually pointed out his friendship with Alais so straightforwardly?
"Very surprised?"
"A little."
"I personally don't have a big opinion about what Alais did. If he succeeded, I would be happy to have a true legendary ally, but it's a pity that he failed... from what I know about him , he won’t just give up.”
Menor seemed to know that he cared about Alais's affairs, and took the initiative to explain: "You and the Son of Disaster who were resurrected by you, he will definitely come to you when he is fully prepared."
"I know it very well." Wayne said nonchalantly.
Regarding Alais's coveting of Tina, he had discussed it with Claire. It should be to obtain the terrifying source of disaster in Tina.
Judging from Alais's performance before leaving at the end, it was obvious that he had dissipated his extraordinary blood and wanted to completely become a disaster extraordinary.
From what he learned, the original power of disaster should be rare. If Alais doesn't replace other extraordinary powers, he will definitely find them in the future.
By the time……
"You are much calmer than I thought. This is a good performance. At least it proves that you are very confident in yourself."
Menor seemed to see something, and there was a slight smile in his words, "But I am also surprised that you would choose to join our Eternal Life Society after leaving Custer. Can you tell me the reason?"
"Maybe it's because I don't have anywhere to go for the time being."
Wayne replied with an ambiguous answer, which seemed to be a rhetorical question.
In fact, for him, it would be best to find something to do if he could join Eternal Life. If he couldn't, it didn't matter - it was just one less nearby option.
"It seems you don't know much about our Eternal Life Society."
Menor seemed a little unable to stand his calm and quiet look, so he raised his hand and pulled the brim of his hat down a bit.
Wayne noticed the blurry face under the hood. The moment he raised his hand, countless layers of layers appeared, cutting his face and hands into even more fragments, as if they were stirred in a pool of stagnant water. Fine ripples.
"Indeed, I only know the three words Eternal Life Society and have heard some stories about individual members."
To be precise, he had only heard rumors about Claire...
"It doesn't matter," Menor's voice returned to calmness. "If you know more about it, it won't be difficult to find that most of our Eternal Life Society are people who have 'nowhere to go'."
"oh?"
Does this mean that everyone is wanted, or does it mean that no one has a sense of purpose?
"What I mean is that they all have a restless heart in their hearts. I believe that you are the same."
Fortunately, he is not a wanted criminal like him...
"That's right."
Wayne did not deny Menor's judgment.
In fact, if he wanted to be more at ease, he would have just agreed to Dean Josue's invitation and chosen to join the Ghost School Research Center to become a wizard-level researcher who lives in ravines and conducts various experiments.
"So,"
Menor looked at him in silence for a while, then raised his hand and reached out, as if through the layers of space, straight through the mirror and appeared in front of Wayne.
"..."
Wei En looked at the slender and clean hand and was greatly shocked.
Good guy,
I borrowed an ordinary mirror from somewhere and passed a hand through the layers of space...
Even if you are a big boss of the Eternal Life Society and are powerful, you don’t need to show it so directly, right?
"Welcome to join you, Wizard Wayne Loft!"
Menor chuckled, seemingly satisfied with the effect of this, and raised his hand playfully to indicate to Wei En that he could shake his hand.
Wei En hesitated, stretched out his hand and shook his hand, "Thank you."
After saying that, he let go of his hand and wiped it on the hem of his clothes without leaving any trace.
It's like I'm worried that there's something bad up there, like a disease, a curse, a space mark, etc...
[You were set as a spatial anchor by Menor Vannis Stringer. Evaluation: If he is willing, I believe he will appear in front of you soon. Special rewards: +10 survival points, +1 toughness level, +1 spiritual level. 】
Um?
Are there really space markers?
Wei En's eyes changed slightly, and his expression became more serious when he looked into the mirror. Was he doing anything?
"Oh? Did you find out? It seems that your physique is very suitable for learning space-related knowledge..."
This time, Menor was really surprised. In such a long time, Wayne was the first person to take the initiative to discover the spatial anchor before he pointed it out.
Menor's voice then sounded, explaining: "In fact, every member I come into contact with will set up a spatial anchor point so that I can be rescued in time."
"But don't get your hopes too high, I'm usually very busy."
"Of course, you can also think of it as an entrance test I set for you and try to eliminate it."
"I will be very happy to see the day when it is eliminated. That will mean that our Eternal Life Society will have another extraordinary person who is proficient in space system knowledge."
Wei En pursed his lips, a talent for learning space knowledge?
Where does he have that thing?
If it weren't for the panel reminder, he would have been unaware of the spatial anchor like everyone else.
"Finally, I need to make it clear that since you join our Eternal Life Society, you are one of our own. Even if Alais and I have some friendship, I will stand firmly on your side."
Menor said with a firm tone: "Please trust me on this, Wizard Wynn."
How determined?
Wei En almost asked, but replied calmly: "I believe it."
Believe in a ghost!
The most unreliable thing in this world is trust, especially before he has shown no sense of belonging to the Eternal Life Society and has not made any contribution to the Eternal Life Society.
Such a statement-like attitude has a feeling of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".
"Next time... I almost forgot," Menor patted his forehead and continued: "Kleia will come to assist me in a task. If you are interested, you can ask her for the relevant details."
"Personally, I still hope to add you to the list of operational members of the mission."
"I will give this suggestion serious consideration."
Wei En lowered his head slightly, superficially showing respect to the elder of the Eternal Life Church.
After all, they are all his immediate bosses, maybe?
"Then, see you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Menoer's figure in the mirror turned around and walked back. He still had the ability to split space, forming a passage with large frames within small frames. He slowly passed through the passage and disappeared.
When everything calmed down, Wei En raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. He had black hair and red eyes. Well... his skin seemed to have gotten better recently, not as dark as before?
Eternal Life Society, Twelve Elders, Menor, mission...
"It's like finding something that can be called a short-term goal for the time being."
Wayne looked at the palm that had been in contact with Menoer. Gee, why does this hand feel like a woman's hand?
With this thought in mind, he opened the door and walked out.
"Have you negotiated? Wizard Wayne." Seeing him coming out, Claire walked over with a smile on her lips, "Welcome to join the Eternal Life Society, I have long said that you will..."
Snapped!
Wayne gave her a headache.
"Hey, it hurts~"
"Why didn't you tell me about the spatial anchor in advance?"
"Ah, this?" Claire rubbed her somewhat red forehead and pouted, "I forgot about it~ It happened so long ago..."
"How long?" Disbelief was written all over Wei En's face.
"It's my fault, I apologize." Claire raised her hands to express surrender.
"Well, I forgive you."
Wei En glanced at the pair of hanging clocks. The dial was two times bigger? !
Forget it, let her put her hands down first...otherwise her nose won't be able to hold it.
"How is it? Did Menor say anything?"
"No," Wayne touched his nose, thought for a moment and asked, "You said you were going to participate in an operation?"
"He mentioned it to you?" Claire was startled, then put down her hand and looked at him seriously, "You didn't agree, did you?"
"Not yet."
"That's good. The place where that operation is going is too dangerous. Given your strength, it's better not to get involved."
Wayne glanced at her, "Where?"
"In the Southern Continent...huh? You ask this, do you want to go?"
"I have this plan." Wei En spread his hands, "You also know my situation, you can't stay here in the Eastern Continent, right?"
Claire lowered her head and thought for a moment before speaking: "The specific mission target will only be announced moments before the operation, but the location of the target, Menor has said in advance, is located in the fission wasteland of the southern continent."
"Fission Wasteland?"
"...If you have time, you'd better learn more about the extraordinary world."
Wei En sneered and said, "I will."
He does lack basic common sense about the world. Even if Claire doesn't tell him, he will go look for some information next.
Claire glared at him angrily, and then explained: "From the information collected so far, it seems that there is a newly discovered forbidden area, and there are many unknown things."
"But I want to remind you that Menor said that the target is likely to be deep in the fission wasteland. Needless to say, it is dangerous."
"If it's so dangerous, I don't understand why you agreed to go?" Wei En asked the most puzzling question in his heart: "What drives you to follow the arrangements of the Eternal Life Society?"
"This," a trace of struggle flashed across Claire's face, she was silent for a long time before biting her lip and said, "About this issue, I will tell you slowly later, okay?"
Wayne looked at her deeply and said, "I'll wait."
It seems that there are some secrets hidden within the Eternal Life Society that are not easily revealed to the outside world, well, internally as well.
"Let's go, I have found a ship that is willing to take us away..." Claire looked a little complicated and said softly: "We are ready to go."
"Um."
Wei En nodded, greeted Tina Sharva Zero and the others, took out the golden key and left the clown theater.
Not long after, the two came to a small port and saw a slightly dilapidated two-masted sailboat parked on the inner sea of the port.
Claire took him onto the boat and said, "Captain, it's time to go."
"Okay." A sturdy middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Get ready and set sail."
This ship is not big, only twenty meters long. There are traces of repairs on the deck and hull everywhere, as if it was a temporary emergency repair after a war...
"Are you sure this ship can take us safely to the Southern Continent?" Wei En looked at her suspiciously.
"Of course."
Claire puffed up her chest and said confidently: "As long as it can still move, I can drive it to the Southern Continent!"
"you drive?"
"Ah, no, it was the captain who drove it. I believe it didn't..."
"Captain?!" Wayne glared at her and pointed at the strong man captain who walked with his legs crossed, "Are you sure he is the captain?"
"I'm sure...probably." Claire lowered her head guiltily.
"So, you turned everyone on this ship into puppets?"
"……Um."
"Then you are also planning to sail the boat yourself?"
"Uh-huh."
"All the way north?"
"Hmm...huh? No, Xiangnan."
Wei En touched his head and looked at the endless sea with tears in his eyes: "Set sail..."
tired……
