Wei En looked at the series of prompts on the panel and waited quietly for a moment. After confirming that he was promoted to intermediate wizard this time and was not trapped in the previous illusion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered the illusion he saw when he was promoted to an official wizard, and he still had some doubts about it.

The girl who claimed to be his sister - Estelle Loft, the girl who asked him not to forget her...

Wayne always felt that the Loft family where his predecessor belonged hidden some secrets, or what did the Loft family do to his predecessor when he left?

So much so that there is no memory of that girl in the memory of her predecessor.

"If you have the opportunity to return to the Eastern Continent in the future, go and visit that family..."

It seems that it was mentioned in the previous newspaper that the Loft family claimed to have expelled him from the family?

Gee, interesting.

Wei En glanced at the panel again, checking the description of the skill he just learned and his current attribute values.

Toughness level: 6052.2

Spirit level: 6052.2

Origin: 507 (508) (Seal 1 point of origin)

Survival points: 2040

"After the wizard level, will you receive attribute point rewards every time you advance?"

Wayne touched his chin and couldn't help but wonder, was this because of the panel, or did other wizards also receive such rewards?

One more thing to know...

But overall, he was quite satisfied with this improvement.

The six selected spells - puppet substitution, teleportation, and the blood-boiling, healing, wall-hardening and transfiguration spells of the flesh-and-flesh enhancement system, have gained a good increase after being integrated with the original runes of the God of Death.

After being used, the substitution technique will strengthen the defense of the mechanical puppet, and the teleportation technique will expand the teleportation range.

Boiling Blood further enhances the toughness level and enhances explosive power.

Although the healing skills overlap with the healing power of the Calamity Seed Contract, after testing, the recovery of injuries can be superimposed.

The wall-hardening spell mainly improves his physical defense. After reaching level three, he can resist attacks that do not exceed 130% of the toughness level.

What satisfied Wei En the most was the effect of the Apparition. After using this spell, it greatly reduces the possibility of being discovered by other people's original perception after his transformation.

With the quality and power of the Death God's origin, even if it only has a 30% bonus, it is enough to resist most of the origin's perceptions.

"Well, I'm so hungry."

Wayne touched his stomach, turned around and left the studio.

The toughness reward he had just received, coupled with the part of his mental power that he had converted using his talent to maintain the balance of his toughness mental level, also made his body overwhelmed, and he felt a strong sense of hunger again.

Um?

After Wei En opened the door and went out, he saw the empty theater and frowned slightly, then relaxed.

Tina was taught by the Joker to learn to control the source of disaster. Sharapova and Zero were still busy making mechanical puppets in their respective studios, and Claire...

"That woman, I didn't expect that she would be so interested in those guards..."

Thinking this way, Wayne walked to the dining table, found the remaining blue marlin and ate it.

When sailing on the Cordo Sea, don't think about vegetables and fruits. The bread and butter that you ate in the city of Custer were also very scarce and could basically only sustain the daily consumption of everyone on the ship.

And the most abundant ones are all kinds of fish in the sea... excluding most of the abnormal species, there are not many species left that can be used as food.

The blue marlin is definitely the most delicious among them. It melts in your mouth and has a special sweetness, which is like eating a light cream cake.

Therefore, within ten minutes, Wei En had eaten two blue marlins that were about the same length as him, and patted his belly with unsatisfied satisfaction.

"Not bad, no..."

boom!

At this time, the door of a studio not far away was pushed open violently.

Um?

Wei En turned around to look and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Shava, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, Wayne, I messed up."

At this time, Miss Zombie's long hair had scattered sparks, which she extinguished by slapping it with her hand, but half of her hair was also burned away.

Her body was even more black and white, just like those poor Vazquez people in the Os neighborhood. She was wearing a tattered skirt that barely covered her naked body.

"I can tell……"

Wayne's gaze passed over Miss Zombie and looked towards the studio behind her. He could still vaguely see the orange-red light of some flames burning, and a thick smoke spread from the wide open door.

"Do you need help?"

Sharapova's body became stiffer, and she nodded slightly sideways. Her pale face was slightly red by the firelight, her mouth opened slightly, and she whispered again: "I'm sorry, Wei En..."

Wei En took out his Secret Adjustment Department uniform from the space ring, walked over and put it on her, smiled and said: "In practice, accidents will inevitably happen..."

boom!

Before they finished speaking, the two of them saw the Type Zero suddenly coming out, its two mechanical arms dancing rapidly and slapping the flames on its body.

"Something happened, something happened, father!"

Zero raised his head and saw the two of them standing at the door, and then looked at Miss Zombie's studio. He couldn't help but pause, "Sister Shawa, are you...something happened?"

"..." Wei En glared at him, "Shut up!"

"oh."

Sharapova looked at the fire behind Zero, and a stiff smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. Now Wei En shouldn't blame me alone, right?

Wei En looked at the two of them, and it seemed that it was a bit reluctant to let them learn how to make mechanical puppets at this time...

He walked into the studio helplessly, tried his best to salvage some materials that had survived, exchanged the remaining gold pounds for new tools, and arranged them again for the two of them.

"Okay, I have to teach you well..."

…

…

As for the Ronan outside the theater, there was a thundering roar all around.

Cannonballs flew over the steamship one after another and struck at a three-masted sailboat not far ahead that was speeding to escape. The splashing waves hit the Ronan and made Claire, who was training her guard on the bottom of the ship, look furious. big.

"Triangle eyes, what's going on?"

"First mate, look." Ronan smiled bitterly and pointed out through the cockpit window to three ships running away, two chasing each other, "They suddenly appeared..."

"As a pirate, you let people bully you like this?"

"this……"

Claire glared at him, turned around and walked out of the cabin, standing firmly on the swaying deck, her eyes indifferently scanning the two three-masted sailboats that were gradually catching up.

"First Officer Claire, do you think you should inform the captain about this?"

Ronan had no choice but to chase him out. Although he was a pirate, he sailed on the Cordo Sea all year round and knew that not all ships could be robbed.

Just like the two fast three-masted sailing ships not far behind, each of them actually has five cannons. They are not the small movable cannons on the Ronan, but the large ones fixed on the deck. fort.

The cost of these turrets alone exceeds the production cost of the entire Ronan ship.

Not only that, the crew members on the two ships all wore uniform sailor uniforms made of black canvas, and each had a well-made musket. The extraordinary beings at the head wore armor with exquisite patterns. Any one of them was stronger than the minister. class.

It is not difficult to tell from the logos on their chests that they are all nobles. To be precise, they should be the family guards of those nobles. Their strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary merchant ships.

"Notify him?" Claire shook her head, "When he comes, these people will probably die, so I'd better go and take a look, maybe..."

Perhaps, she can find some powerful female supernatural beings who can just be used to expand her Queen's guard.

"Then," Ronan gritted his teeth, "Then I'll let them prepare for war."

"Well, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We'll wait until they're almost done fighting before we go up." Claire narrowed her eyes. She wasn't Wei En, so she had no interest in overwhelming those extraordinary beings with her strength.

"good!"

Ronan nodded and immediately began to gather the pirates to prepare for battle.

However, he still hoped in his heart that the powerful red-haired captain would be there, but when he didn't show up, he really didn't have the courage to knock on the bedroom door, so he had to follow the first mate's instructions.

The two three-masted sailing ships that were busy chasing just glanced at the Ronan and continued to pursue forward.

However, a young man standing on the bow of one of the ships noticed Claire who was watching them, his eyes lit up, and he motioned to the guard beside him.

I saw the guard wearing exquisite armor running to the side of the ship and shouting to the Ronan: "Beautiful lady over there, I hope you will wait a moment, we adults hope to have dinner with you."

Claire glanced at him, with a charming smile on her lips, "Okay~ I happen to be hungry too~"

"Okay, hurry up and catch up with the person in front of you and catch her!" When the young man in purple noble clothing heard her words, he looked excited and waved his arms as if he had been given a shot of blood.

Not long after, the two ships surpassed the Ronan and launched a fierce attack on the three-masted sailboat in the front.

The roar of the fort's bombardment resounded throughout the sea area, and the cannonballs that were as big as a human head fell around the fleeing ships from time to time, setting off waves.

"With your triangular eyes, can you tell which family these people belong to?" Claire stopped her smile and asked.

Ronan stood behind her with the remaining thirty-two pirates, observed the ships for a moment, and said hesitantly: "They look like nobles from the Kingdom of Chartland. I don't know which family on the west coast they are specifically. ”

"The nobles of Chatland? No wonder..."

No wonder they are all so stupid!

Claire couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that the incident in Custer City State last time had no impact on this group of nobles.

I don’t know how Wei En will feel when he finds out.

I guess he would be happy to kill all these people, right?

Soon, the two ships caught up with the three-masted sailboat at the front, and the continuous firing turret beat it like a sieve.

There were holes everywhere on the hull and deck of the ship, and the sea water carried the aberrations one after another onto the ship, fighting with the equally well-dressed guards.

"...Vianne, you can't escape, just follow me!"

"Don't even think about it, Massimo! If I die, what happened today will definitely spread to the Northern Continent, and you and your family will definitely pay the price!"

A clear and bright voice sounded, and a young lady with a graceful figure and long dark green hair wearing an aristocratic dress was seen standing on the bow of the ship, covering her chest with one hand and squeezing it tightly with the other hand. On the side of the ship.

Looking from a distance, you can still see that her silver-gray eyes are full of unwillingness and sadness, and her delicate look is very protective.

Not far in front of her, the only five remaining guards, led by a blond and blue-eyed female transcendent, killed the deformed mutants that rushed up from the sea one by one.

"Miss Wei An, I believe you should know that your Sawyer family sent you here to marry our Brand family. Even if I imprison you in the castle, no one will come to rescue you. "

The young noble headed by him looked at Wei An lovingly over there, as if admiring a withered precious flower, and sighed: "Obviously we have experienced a beautiful afternoon, why do you refuse my love?"

Wei An bit her lip, holding back the tears in her eyes, and turned her head unwillingly.

"Why bother?"

The young nobleman named Massimo stared at Wei An with burning eyes, and waved his hand behind him, "Go over and catch her, be careful, don't let her die."

"Yes~"

"Huh? Samantha, since when did your voice become so soft and soft?" Massimo looked back, his eyes widened suddenly, "You?!"

I saw Claire leaning on the side of the boat, looking at him lazily, licking her lips and saying: "Didn't you invite me to dinner? I'm here~"

"Where's Samantha? What are you doing standing still? Arrest her!" No matter how stupid he was, Massimo noticed that something was wrong. He looked at the guards on the left and right and growled.

But no matter how he shouted, all the guards on the ship under his feet and on the ship where the gunfire stopped next to him stood motionless, staring at him with a pair of dull eyes.

"Are you going to let them catch me?"

Claire chuckled and tapped the side of the ship with her fingers. She saw the guards around her changing into her appearance one after another, with the same charming expression on their equally delicate faces, "Come and give it a try~"

"You..." The young noble opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the Claires in front of him, "You... all of them..."

"What do you think?"

The smile on Claire's face faded, and she stared at him with cold eyes, "There is not even a single woman on the entire ship. I doubt your status as a noble."

Um?

What do you mean, woman?

"Forget it, you'd better die."

Claire snapped her fingers, and several puppets came out from behind and dragged the young noble's body towards the side of the ship.

"Hey, what are you going to do? Let me go! Let me go, no, our Brand family will never let you go! Don't kill me!!!"

Plop!

The young noble's face was pale, and he was thrown into the sea in fear. He only left a few desperate shouts, and was torn into pieces by the aberrations that had been waiting in the sea, stained with blood.

At this time, the people on the other boat looked at Claire in surprise, not expecting that the young noble would die in the sea before them.

"Vianne, Vivian..."

Hearing this voice, the young lady with long dark green hair came back to her senses and looked at the blond transcendent not far away, "Haisha, what's going on now..."

The blond transcendent looked at Claire over there with vigilance, and whispered: "The woman over there is Claire with a Thousand Faces of the Eternal Life Society, a very terrifying person. If you are caught by her, the consequences will be even worse than being caught by her. It would be even worse if Massimo is taken away, and maybe we will become her puppets."

"Listen to me, don't make any moves later and jump with me. Although I'm not 100% sure, we should be able to escape to land with that sophisticated rune equipment."

"Haisha, you can escape by yourself. That way you will be more confident. If you take me with you, you may not be able to escape." Wei An refused.

She looked at the faintly violent sea around her. Months of sailing had already made her in awe of the Cordo Sea. Not even the Storm Lady's priests could deal with those terrifying deep-sea aberrations, let alone the two of them. people.

"Listen, you have to listen to me..."

"I said, are you ignoring me like this~?"

After Claire finished dealing with the extraordinary beings and guards on the two ships, she ducked onto the three-masted sailing ship that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, and looked at Wei An and the others with interest.

"How about I wait until the ship sinks completely and then come over to salvage you?"

Bang!

Hearing this voice, the blond transcendent Heisha suddenly waved the long sword in her hand, slashed at Claire, and shouted: "Vianne, don't hesitate, just use that rune equipment to leave here!"

"I……"

"Don't move~ You'll die~" Claire dodged the sword attack, tapped her toes, and instantly appeared next to Wei An, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I..." Wei An looked at Claire who was so close and stopped what she was doing.

Claire glanced at her with satisfaction, then looked at the blonde transcendent, and chuckled: "Now, are you still going to wield that broken sword?"

"You!?" The blonde transcendent stared at her angrily, but two seconds later, she threw away the sword, took a deep breath and said: "Don't hurt her, she is just an ordinary person, if you want a puppet, Use mine!"

"puppet?"

Claire shook her head and said: "It's a pity to do that. You have greater uses, especially you, the transcendent~"

Haisha was stunned, but seeing that she did not harm Wei An, she felt relieved, "Ms. Thousand Faces, what do you want to do to us?"

"Me?" Claire's eyebrows showed a smile, "Of course I want you to become a member of my escort team~"

"Guards? Me, her?"

Wei An opened her mouth wide. No matter how smart she was, she never expected that this terrifying transcendent would have such thoughts.

"Are you sure?" The blond transcendent Haisha shook her head slightly at her, looked at Claire and asked seriously: "If we agree, will you promise not to hurt us?"

"Promise? Do you believe in such a cheap thing?"

"Well……"

There was a hint of impatience on Claire's face, "Either you agree to be part of my queen's guard, or I will throw you on the ship and become maids!"

"I believe those pirates will welcome you to join~"

"Female, maid?"

"Hai, pirates?!" Haisha then noticed the Ronan not far away. Seeing the obscene triangular eyes of Ronan's second officer above, she agreed without even thinking: "We promise you!"

There was a bit of anxiety and fear on his face, and he kept gesturing to Wei An to agree to come down.

Wei An just glanced at the topless pirates and nodded in panic: "As long as you don't hurt us, I promise you!"

It's terrible, how could those people do this?

"This is the right thing~"

Claire happily took Wei An and Haisa back to the Ronan.

"First Mate," Ronan felt relieved when he saw her returning safe and sound, "Why are the other two ships..."

"I'm still useful. You can continue to sail according to the route, so as not to blame me when the captain comes out~"

"Don't worry about it?"

"Um?"

Noticing that her eyes became unkind, Ronan quickly nodded in agreement, "I will obey the first mate's instructions."

With that said, he led the pirates who were drooling at Wei An back to their respective posts.

Wei'an and Haisha looked at each other, their hands tightly clasped together, and their bodies even closer.

The people on this ship... are so scary!

"By the way," Claire glanced at them, "There is one thing I need to remind you."

"You said it." Haisha gritted her teeth.

"Others, you don't have to worry, but there is one person...well, he is the captain of this ship. He likes to bully beautiful ladies like you very much."

"Bullying, bullying?"

Wei An couldn't help but think of the novels she had read on the journey. The evil captain liked to imprison beautiful ladies all day and all night...

"That's right, that's what you're thinking right now!"

"As for Ms. Thousand Faces, as your bodyguard, she won't be bullied by the captain, right?"

Claire saw the expressions of the two of them, and there was a bit of smile in her eyes, "Don't worry, I will protect your safety. But if you see a young man with long red hair on the boat in the future, remember to stay away. a little,."

Red hair? Young captain?

Haisha looked at her in confusion, why did it sound familiar?

"Let's go, let's take you to meet the other members of the Queen's Guard~"

Wei'an and Haisha looked at each other and followed closely, their hearts filled with fear and panic.

I don’t know when I can escape from here...

PS: There will be an extra update in the evening, but as before, it will be relatively late.
