Chapter 182: Cut... (please subscribe)
Deep in the northern continent, the continuous snow-capped mountains rise and fall, emitting white smoke.
Among the mountains, a crystal-clear castle made of ice polished like a mirror stands on the top of the snow-capped mountains. Under the sunlight, it reflects the crystal blue light.
In the top tower of this beautiful castle, two figures wearing black robes and wide bowler hats were busy in an orderly manner.
In front of them was an instrument with a dial showing unknown values, levers and buttons, and something like pipes connected to a box not far away.
But both the dial lever and the pipe are made of bones of different sizes. Most of those bones were glowing with gleaming white light, obviously they were not low-level extraordinary creatures when they were alive. The bones are directly connected to each other by some neatly polished metal, giving it a weird aesthetic.
At this time, as the two figures operated, the power of the runes engraved on the instrument flickered slightly, and the lines clearly transmitted energy into the box.
The box shook slightly, and a desperate and pitiful roar came out, as if the owner of the voice was suffering from extreme pain.
"The 1050th experiment on the correlation between origin and extraordinary characteristics, record."
"Experimental subject: No. 45, contaminated werewolf, origin 40, extraordinary characteristics - bloodthirsty, mental power value after burst 600, 150% improvement..."
"Boras, the data has been recorded, do you want to proceed to that step?" A skeleton wizard said in a loud voice.
The person next to him who was controlling the lever was also a skeleton wizard. A mark like an eye flickered slightly between the eyebrows of the crystal skull head. Two red lights in the deep and dark eye sockets stared at the bone box, thinking for a few seconds. Nodding: "Turn it on, Annep."
"good!"
Annep's bare bones stepped on the floor made of ice, making a clicking sound. He walked to the bone box and pressed a button on the side.
"The origin of alienation has been activated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar in the box, and the whole room fell silent instantly, as if everything was a sculpture.
However, the next second, the rune mark on the bone box suddenly lit up, followed by a violent vibration, followed by a voice full of madness and murderous intent.
"Ho-si! Er!"
"Oh? Killing?"
Annep quickly wrote this Gonzalez word on the parchment with a quill pen, "The werewolf who didn't understand any Gonzalez language was actually able to call out 'Ciel' in a standard way..."
"Boras, it seems that your guess is correct. When one's own origin is alienated by the external origin, there will be a brief fusion."
"It's too early to draw a conclusion. It may also be the manifestation of the will attached to that part of the origin." The skeleton wizard next to the instrument looked at the dial in front of him and said in a cold and stiff tone: "Origin 85, an increase of 200% Twenty-five, the mental power value after the explosion is 50..."
Annep: "Huh? The spiritual power has been transformed into its source?"
"It looks like yes...wait, there is a situation!"
boom!
Before he could finish his words, he saw the bone box suddenly exploded, the shattered bones spread, followed by a black shadow flashing out, and several bone blades as sharp as knives slashed at the two skeleton wizards.
Boras seemed not to notice, the red light in his eyes slightly deflected, and he glanced at the value on the dial, "Record, origin 1200, spiritual power value 1200, power..."
Click!
The bone blade fell on his head, and he paused for a moment before continuing in a cold tone: "The physical strength is approximately equal to the executive level."
Annep, who was closest to the bone box, was attacked by several bone blades, but like Boras, he didn't care.
And the black shadow gradually emerged. A wolf's head was covered with bone spurs, and its eyes were crazy and bloodthirsty. Its body was covered with white bones where the hair was originally, forming a set of white bone armor, and behind it were several bones spliced together. Its tail is spiraling around, and at the end of its tail are sharp bone blades.
"The origin after alienation has been greatly improved. What is going on?"
"It may be due to origin compatibility. It should just be that this werewolf has better luck." Boras stretched out two bony fingers to clamp the bone blade that fell on his head, applying slight force. With a clicking sound, the bone blade and tail struggled for an instant, and he held it in his hand and looked at it. "The bone quality can only be possessed by the ruling-level undead. It is a good collection."
"oh?"
Hearing his words, Annep's angular skull face showed a hint of excitement. He looked at the alienated werewolf and said, "As agreed, it is mine."
"what ever."
"Ho-huh?!"
"Don't make any noise,"
At some point, Annep appeared beside the alienated werewolf, opened his hand and pinched its mouth, and the bone spurs were crushed by its power as if they didn't exist.
Then, before the alienated werewolf could continue its attack, a rune array appeared under it, and as the black mist rose, countless dry arms stretched out from it, grabbing its legs and dragging it downwards.
"Roar--"
No matter how hard the alienated werewolf struggled, those arms remained motionless, clutching its legs tightly, and the black mist spread and gradually covered its body.
Immediately afterwards, the rune array and the alienated werewolf disappeared together, leaving only a roar that seemed unwilling.
"This topic is interesting. If we can find out the principle, then our ghost's strength will be even higher."
"It's boring." Boras shook his head, "Teacher has long said that the original power is conserved, and the sudden increase in the original power must have some source."
"Of course I know. Isn't that the really interesting part?" Annep chuckled. "It would be best if the original power of the source is infinitely strong. Isn't it just a matter of eliminating that part of the will?"
"...You are much crueler than me."
Buzz buzz...
At this time, a black trophy in the corner of the laboratory rang.
"At this time, does anyone still dare to contact us? Let me see who is the bastard who wants to become an experimental subject..."
Annep pressed the contact button, and as the light and shadow flickered, a skull head that was exactly the same as theirs, but made of the same material, popped out.
"Tsk." Annep looked at the head, seemingly disappointed that he missed one more opportunity to obtain a free experimental subject, and sighed: "Bolas, it's your good student Josue who is looking for you."
Boras also noticed the person coming, walked calmly to the communicator, and waited quietly for the other party to speak.
"Teacher," Josue didn't know that he was already on the edge of death. He looked at the two skeleton wizards in the picture and saluted respectfully: "I have good news to tell you."
"speak."
"Anomaly number 337 has agreed to join our Von Enrizo Research Center."
Boras' tone fluctuated slightly, "What about the topic?"
"The fusion transformation of undead and machinery is not the direction of runes you expected."
"Are there any plans to improve the Corpse Explosion and Blink spells?"
Josue hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "No."
He knew the teacher's temper very well, he was most persistent in unknown and novel things, but Wei En's magic was good at both.
"You didn't tell him that there was a legendary wizard paying attention?"
"Well, no," the red light in Josue's eyes shrank slightly, and he subconsciously covered it up: "You also know that after all, he is only an abnormal wizard who has just entered the wizard level, and there is still a long way to go before becoming a legend... …”
"Intermediate wizard."
"What?"
Boras said coldly: "He has been promoted to the intermediate wizard, and I believe the senior wizard is not far away."
Qiao Sue secretly cursed, neglecting, and quickly made up for it: "Teacher, I think it's not too late to let him get familiar with it for a while. You also know that he is a low-level intelligence officer and does not have a deep sense of belonging to our ghosts. .”
"Oh?" Boras tilted his head, seeming a little surprised, "Are you worried that I will turn him into experimental material?"
"this……"
"Bolas, it seems that all your students know your bad character, quack quack." Annep watched the excitement from the side, waving two crystal palms and said.
"His situation is rather special," Boras remained unmoved. He looked at Josue who bowed his head and said nothing, and explained calmly: "The last time he was promoted to wizard, Ice Castle did not monitor any of his data."
"Um, what?"
Annep and Josue were both stunned, "Then why..."
"This is inferred based on the knowledge scroll he exchanged," Boras said in a slightly slower tone and more seriously: "You should know that this is the first case since the monitoring system was established at the beginning of the new calendar."
"Is it clear what the reason is?"
"I don't know yet, but I speculate that he should be hiding some secrets, probably the kind of secrets he doesn't want us to know."
Qiao Sue opened his mouth, wanting to say something for Wayne, but seeing the teacher's gloomy expression, he finally chose to shut up.
Annep touched his head and marveled: "Compared with other anomalies, this one is obviously a little out of the ordinary."
"That's why I hope he can return to Ghost. With us here, no matter what caused his abnormality, there will be countermeasures. But now..."
Having said this, Boras shook his head and made a decision: "Now that this is the case, let's strengthen our contact with him. All support will be provided at the level of a great wizard."
"Great wizard?"
"I don't want to repeat it."
"is teacher!"
Qiao Sue did not expect such a reversal. He thought the teacher would force Wei En to return to the Northern Continent. This was the best outcome.
"In addition," Boras thought for a few seconds and added, "arrange Teresa to his research institute. I want to observe it again."
"Teresa?"
Josue was shocked. That person was not...
"Do as I say, and the rest of the staff can make arrangements."
"I understand, teacher, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Boras turned off the contactor and turned back to the instrument.
Annep asked with a half-smile: "So willing? Teresa is your favorite student. Haven't you always wanted her to be your assistant?"
Boras ignored him and waved his hand to summon a new werewolf, "Continue the experiment."
Annep gritted his teeth, feeling helpless towards this senior who had been promoted to Legend earlier than him.
"...You'd better not have any bad intentions."
On the other side, Josué, who was in the Von Enrizo Mountains, had a faint look of confusion on his bony face that shouldn't have any expression. He was also confused about the purpose of Boras Legend's arrangement.
Teresa...she is not an obedient wizard...
"Hey, forget it. Fortunately, we successfully got Wizard Wei En to join the research center. I believe that with his ability, he can handle these small things."
Josue cheered up, and then ran out in a hurry. He also had to prepare some things for Wizard Wei En, including personnel, equipment, materials, and places, all of which were indispensable!
…
…
At the same time, Wayne did not know what happened after agreeing to join the Von Enriso Research Center. He was looking at a piece of parchment.
"Intermediate wizards are also in the accumulation stage. After becoming familiar with spell abilities and innate abilities, they must continue to expand their knowledge system and further strengthen their own strength based on the knowledge they have learned so far."
"Generally speaking, this stage will consume a lot of time for wizards. So far, the fastest record within the school is one year and three months."
"Conditions for advancement to senior wizard: each origin child is branded with seven spell runes, and requires a spell level of three, a spiritual level of three thousand, and an origin of two hundred."
Wei En read the short three lines three times, but finally couldn't hold it back and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell, you dare to sell three sentences for twenty gold pounds?!"
No wonder Dean Josue didn't agree to the conditions for providing inheritance knowledge for free before. Isn't this gold pound so profitable?
Fuck, I don’t know when the 50% discount will be available. He lost several gold pounds with the current 20% discount.
Buzz buzz...
"Huh? Here we come."
Wei En saw the blue and white box flashing and guessed that the "50% off shopping card" he just mentioned had arrived.
He opened the box and took out the contents. As usual, he first read the letter from the Ghost School.
"Dear Wayne Loft, I would like to inform you that your application to join the Von Enrizo Research Center has been approved, and has been confirmed by the Grand Wizard Josue Sexton, who has officially appointed you as the director of Research Institute No. 66."
"Here's a reward: 50% off the right to redeem knowledge, an identity card, a set of new robes, and a cane made of dragon bones."
"In addition, according to the school's regulations, the new director of the institute must submit a research direction statement and expected goals after determining the research topic. For details, please contact your superior, the Grand Wizard Josue Sexton."
"On the road to pursuing knowledge, death is not the end - Eshelton Fosket, Wizard Management Office of the Ghost School."
Wayne put down the letter and looked at the three things in his hand.
The identity card was similar to the card representing Team Leader Shadow given by Armitage before. Both had a picture of him printed on it and stated his identity - Director of Institute No. 66 of the Von Enriso Research Center.
The new robe is the same as the one worn by Dean Josue, black, with the ghost's logo printed on the chest.
But that dragon bone staff...
[When you discover the origin that can be swallowed, should you use the soul-eating spell? 】
Does the dragon bone still have its original power that can be swallowed?
But what do dragons in this world look like?
Wei En looked at the fifteen-centimeter cane in his hand. It was shaped like a short staff. It was silver-white in color and polished to a round shape. There were also some patterns engraved on the body of the staff, which made it look very exquisite.
He played with it for a while and found it felt good, so he decided to keep it as a souvenir. "Forget it, I guess it doesn't have much original power at all."
Thinking like this, Wei En put these things into the space ring, and then continued to study the exchange list.
Although he had obtained the 50% discount, he still felt a little stretched when looking at the prices on the list.
The four original sub-bodies need to be exchanged for a total of eight spells.
In addition to the undead creatures previously promised to Sharapova, as well as the materials for making mechanical puppets.
There are also materials he needs to make potions, especially enlightenment potions and healing potions, which are often used potions.
After calculation, three thousand gold pounds is simply not enough...
Wei En thought for a moment and decided to postpone the promotion to the senior wizard. Firstly, the gold pounds were not enough to exchange for suitable spell scrolls. Secondly, he did not have many survival points left and might not be able to upgrade all the newly learned spells to the third level. degree.
In the end, he spent three thousand gold pounds and exchanged it for a bunch of materials and some zombies.
He didn't know how many undead creatures Sawa needed, so he only exchanged them for twenty captain-level and two minister-level zombies. Even if Sawa couldn't swallow that many, he could still use them to do research and conduct undead and mechanical transformation experiments. .
Wei En looked at the special space equipment equipped with zombies. After thinking about it, he decided to release one to have a look.
It was also when exchanging these undead creatures that he discovered a new way to make money, selling undead creatures.
This is the most common method used by most necromancy wizards of the Ghost School. It is zero cost and safe.
The method is to summon an undead creature and then cancel the contract.
The only drawback is that if you do this too many times, you will be marked by some undead creatures in the world of the undead, and you will be resisted or even hunted down by them.
Of course there are solutions - upgrading the wizard's level or increasing his spiritual power.
In this way, the range of undead creatures that can be selected will be expanded, and there will always be several undead souls in the dead house with little information for them to choose from.
"Ho ho..."
After this male human zombie was released, the moment he saw Wei En, the corners of his mouth moved slightly to reveal two sharp teeth, which looked very hostile at first sight. It's just that his body was tied up with a few special ropes so he couldn't move, and his mouth was gagged so he couldn't make a sound.
"Tsk."
After Wei En looked up and down, he had a clear understanding of the abnormal experiment that Sharapova mentioned before.
Which wizard is so naughty as to rub against such a zombie?
Simply, perverted!
Wei En quickly put the zombie away again, fearing that if he looked at it one more time, he would be unable to help but destroy his humanity.
"Next, make money and make money."
Apart from making potions to make money, he couldn't think of anything else to do now...
Just as Wei En took out a copy of the anti-antigen potion and prepared to put it into the crucible for fusion, he saw the door of the studio being pushed open.
"Claire?"
"What, are you surprised to see me?" Claire walked in wearing a long black dress and holding several rolls of parchment in her hand. She looked very old.
Era relic?
"Did you get information about the Twilight Mystical Monk?"
"Of course, given the status of the two of us, it's not easy."
Wei En glanced at the clock, it was four-thirty, and it took three hours...
Claire put the parchment on the workbench, her expression turned resentful, "The Lun family works for you, how can you thank the Lun family?"
Wei En said angrily, "You first need to change your unclear pronunciation!"
"Doesn't it sound good?"
"Um."
"You—" Claire's eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to pinch him, "You don't have such an attitude when you need me."
"Okay, okay, Lord Qianmian, if you want to thank me, just ask." Wei En surrendered. This information was indeed what he needed.
"That's right~" Claire snorted, then pointed at the era relics and reminded: "When Menor gave them to me, he told you to remember to destroy them after reading them."
"Huh? Didn't you see it?"
"Gonzalez...I can't understand it!"
Wayne: "..."
He almost forgot about Claire's attribute of being a bad student.
"You were not happy with the fact that you and Shava and the others were asked to learn Gonzales together before. Now you know the disadvantages, right?"
Claire sat on the workbench, glanced at him, and then turned her head away, as if she didn't want to talk to him.
Wei En had no choice but to temporarily put aside his plan to make the potion. He took a piece of parchment and carefully used his spiritual power to attach it to his hand and open it gently.
"Did Menor say anything?"
"Didn't say much, um..." Claire remembered that bastard's temptation and curled her lips: "It is said that those bandaged people are from a sect called Twilight. It is very dangerous and crazy."
"Moreover, the Eternal Life Society is extremely difficult to deal with. Their shadow is behind many disasters."
"oh."
Wei En nodded, not doubting the danger and destructive power of the Twilight Mystical Monk.
They can even arrange to contain murderous intent in the entire sea area. Is there anything else that they can't do or dare not do?
"One more thing, Menor reminded us not to actively provoke them, saying that they have the ability to turn illusion into reality, which is very weird."
Claire saw Wayne's eyes fixed on the parchment, looking extremely serious, and subconsciously licked his lips. This expression was still the most charming, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Wait a minute, wait until I finish reading..."
Wayne looked at the Gonzalez words on this relic. Fortunately, there were no unusual phrases, so he could easily translate the content.
From the Fourth Age?
"At the end of the Fourth Era, after a brief confrontation with the Twilight Sect, it can be determined that the space-time fault that appeared in the city-state of Misuraca was caused by them."
"Although I and the elders don't know how they did it, the current situation no longer allows me to delay any longer. I must pass this matter to the Red Moon Church as soon as possible. After all, the Western Continent can stop them. There are only those bastards who sold their souls to the Red Moon."
"We could have expected wizards from the Blood Spirit School and Mechanical School, but unfortunately those disgusting guys with rags wrapped around them have already blocked this road in advance."
"Damn it, the knowledge systems of the two schools are inherently different. Why are they competing for the title of King of Transformation? They deserve to have the skeletons of the Ghost School take advantage of the loopholes and steal a lot of inherited knowledge."
"Hey, I hope we can successfully stop the Twilight Sect's plan this time, otherwise the city-state of Misuraca, the pearl of the Western Continent, may completely disappear."
Well?
Wei En put down the scroll of relics and murmured: "Space-time fault...fuck, what kind of conceptual ability is this, or am I misunderstanding it?"
There is also the battle between the Blood Spirit School and the Mechanical School... The Twilight Mystical Monk has more means than he imagined.
As for the Ghost School's stealing of knowledge and inheritance, he subconsciously ignored it.
Without that knowledge inheritance, how could he have his current driver and Chixin?
The same goes for the old-timers, they have stolen everything, but they have not stolen all the knowledge...
"What?" Claire was admiring his profile and didn't hear these words clearly.
"nothing."
Wayne shook his head, picked up the second piece of parchment, and continued to read.
"Hmph~ You don't even..."
Before she finished speaking, Claire paused, the charming expression on her face instantly solidified, and a golden light suddenly shot out from her body.
Um? !
Wei En tilted his head subconsciously and saw the light flickering past his ears.
boom!
The entire theater space shook violently.
[You were attacked by Huberto Watson and were not harmed. Comment: A big guy is coming, I advise you to stay away, but you should first see if the little girl in front of you is saved... Special reward: +100 survival points. 】
"Claire!?"
Claire's mouth opened slightly, and bright red blood spurted out, "Chief..."
PS: I am currently two chapters behind, no more, no more.
