Chapter 209 The Puppet Dancing with the Gods

Relics...

Wasn't that volume of relics obtained from the Eternal Life Society?

Wayne took out the volume of era relics with a dark red leather cover from the space ring and placed it on the workbench.

"this?"

"right."

Claire looked at the six-pointed star pattern on the cover of the Era Relic. To be precise, it was a black gem inlaid in the middle of the pattern. "The memory that just appeared told me that in order to lift the seal later, I need to obtain the content inside..."

"oh?"

Wei En looked at the Era relic and asked: "Are you sure that before this, um... when we signed the equality contract, you didn't know how important this relic is to you?"

"Yes." Claire nodded with certainty, "At that time, I just thought that I found it accidentally, and that it might contain some secrets from the previous era. But..."

She hesitated, thought for a few seconds, and murmured: "In fact, it has been in my hands for several years... Looking back now, I actually chose to let you translate it at that time. I didn't realize... …”

Um?

Wei En's face changed slightly. Is this a memory effect or a cognitive effect?

Just like he didn't realize the number of original sub-bodies before, so does Claire feel the same way at this time?

"Actually, I asked you the reason at that time. Do you still remember your answer at that time?"

"I, what did I say?" Claire's eyes flashed with confusion, as if she had obviously forgotten what she said at that time.

"You said that there are many people in the Eternal Life Society who understand Gonzalez language, but it is your private collection, and I am the only one who is best suited to translate it!"

Wei En stared into her eyes and asked, "You have no impression of these?"

"Is that what I answered?"

"yes!"

Claire's eyes fell on the dark red book of era relics, "I, but I only remember that at that time, you said that your strength is very low, but there is something in your body that is very consistent with the Gonzalez language. You Have the ability to translate..."

Fit Gonzalez?

Wayne's face changed slightly. Could it be that in Claire's subconscious, or was there some mystery that prompted her to choose him to translate this epochal relic?

At this moment, the figure of the old man with a white beard appeared in his mind.

Is it because of that—because of the secrets he learned about the ancient god Gonzales?

"anything else?"

"No, no, that's what I remember saying at the time. In addition," Claire shook her head, and then a strange expression appeared on her face, "I remember that we also signed an equality contract and promised to do three things for you. ?”

Wayne: "..."

three item?

Since signing the contract, it seems that it has not been used once.

Originally, he was thinking of asking Claire for help when he encountered danger while investigating a case in the Secret Investigation Department, but...

After that, the woman was seriously injured twice, died twice, and was able to make a mess of herself.

"What is certain now is that you did not notice anything unusual when you asked me to translate the relics, and you did not realize that this relic was very important to you, so..."

Having said this, Wei En once again looked at the dark red epoch relic placed on the workbench, "All doubts may only be answered by the content inside it."

"It should be..." Claire said slightly depressed: "I don't know why things turned out like this. Anyway, I'll leave the translation to you. It's very important to me."

"Um."

Wei En nodded, reached for the book of relics and was about to open it.

"etc!"

Seeing his actions, Claire was stunned for a moment, then her face changed slightly, and she said quickly.

"What's wrong?" Wei En looked at her doubtfully.

Claire moved her hands unnaturally. After noticing his gaze, she quickly raised a hand and scratched her forehead. She laughed dryly and said, "Don't open it yet. After I leave, you can translate it." "

"Huh?" Wei En was startled, "What difference does this make? Don't you want to know what's recorded on it?"

"No, I'd love to know. But,"

Claire's tone was unusually uneasy, "Maybe I just completed the breakthrough and want to wait... Yes, that's it, don't translate it yet!"

"Uh, I can't either? Why?"

"Well, no more for now!"

Claire turned her head, trying not to let Wayne see the complexity in her eyes, "After I sort out the memory that just appeared, we can open it together and translate the content, okay?"

Sorting out memories?

Wayne frowned slightly and looked at Claire. Her reaction was really suspicious.

Could it be that there is something else in her memory...the secret about this epochal relic?

Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "I can promise you, but at that time, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to fully translate all the contents above."

Before that, perhaps he thought that the expert Gonzales language could translate all the contents of this epochal relic. But after seeing Claire's anomaly, he knew that the things recorded on it were likely to involve a lot of secrets, so secret that he needed to further upgrade the Gonzalez language to fully translate them...

"It doesn't matter. That's it, I'm going back to rest."

Claire stood up, lowered her head and was about to leave the studio. The moment she held the door handle, she stopped, turned her head slightly, and said with a little pleading in her tone: "You promised me, you won't leave for now." Open it, right?"

Wei En stared at her delicate side face, remained silent for a few seconds, put the epochal relic in his hand into the space ring, spread his hand and said: "I promise you, if you don't speak, I won't open it."

At this point, he paused and continued jokingly: "But don't forget, you promised to complete three things, um, or anything."

"Well," Claire was stunned, turned around and looked at him, her bright eyes were clear and deep, and there was a clean smile on her face, without any hint of charm, "I won't forget it!"

After saying that, she pushed the door open and went out, followed closely by the Twilight Mystical Monks.

Squeak, Dang.

The sound of the door closing echoed throughout the theater stage and the studio.

Outside the door, Claire's smile faded and she looked at the three girls at the dining table not far away who were looking up at her. She nodded slightly and said hello, then went straight back to the lounge that belonged to her.

Sorry, Wayne...just give me some more time...

Me, maybe I really am a queen?

"What's wrong with her? She feels a little lost."

Pafla was sensitively aware of Claire's anomaly and looked doubtfully at the studio belonging to the evil wizard not far away. Such a beautiful girl had a strange expression...

"It's okay." Sharapova lowered her head and focused again on Gonzalez's words on the table, "She may have been injured again."

"Injured?!" Pafula covered her mouth, "Did the evil...Wayne hurt her?"

"Wayne? No," Sharapova said expressionlessly, "Others injured her, and Wayne would treat her every time."

Someone else injured her and then treated her?

Thinking of those mummy-like things tied up with strips of cloth that I just passed by...

There was a look of reminiscence on Pafla's face, as if she had seen a similar plot in which best-selling novel?

Remember, what is written on it is all about abuse... is it self-mutilation and healing?

No wonder the beautiful woman just now had that expression and walked a little weakly...

Well, it seems that there is a reason why the rooms here are so well soundproofed.

As expected of you, evil wizard!

Tina on the side raised her head expressionlessly and stared at her for a while before lowering her head and continuing to study.

Tina, Wayne, is that so?

In the studio, Wayne didn't know that Pafla had already figured out tens of thousands of words of the plot between him and Claire in such a short period of time.

At this moment, he took out the book of era relics again and looked thoughtfully at the six-pointed star and the black gem on the cover...

What is Claire's secret?

…

…

At the same time, on an island tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Leonard, four huge statues stood at the southeast, northwest and southeast corners of the island. Two orange rays of light shot out from the eyes of each statue, illuminating the city-state in the middle of the island. .

Even if the night falls and the red moon hangs high, those blushes are still blocked by the eight rays of light.

The city-state was divided into five-story buildings in four directions from the outside to the inside. The houses on the periphery were the shortest, and the buildings in the center were taller.

In the center is a tower hundreds of meters high. The golden coating reflects a faint golden halo under the light of the statue.

There are ten meters on each floor of the tower, and each floor has an open-air area, but the layout of these areas is different.

Some are very simple, with only a few tables and chairs, and a few people dressed as pirates sitting there talking, sometimes looking outside the tower, as if admiring the scenery outside.

Some are gorgeously decorated and arranged like a stage, with several women in cool clothes dancing on them, occasionally attracting cheers from the surrounding audience.

Some high platforms were arranged as arenas, and two or more extraordinary people were fighting fiercely on that arena, which was shrouded by the rune array.

No matter how busy the tower is, not a single sound comes out. It should be that the entire tower has been arranged with a silent note grammar array, which isolates the sounds inside and outside, as well as the sounds between the floors.

Except for the tall tower, other places were also brightly lit at this time, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Especially in the outermost circle, there is a golden wooden sign at the door of almost every building with the words "So-and-so Tavern" written on it.

"I don't know when I can get in there..."

A sailor wearing a yellow oilskin short coat with the logo of his ship tattooed on his arm looked towards the direction of the tower with envy, especially the places arranged as stages. Those cool and beautiful women made him suddenly look towards the tavern. The girls wearing thick foundation inside felt a little disgusted.

"What are you thinking about? Our captain, who only has a bounty of one thousand gold pounds, is not even qualified to enter the second floor, let alone that high tower."

Next to him, the sailor who was wearing the same clothes as him curled his lips and said: "It's hard to get to Awad Island. Why don't you think of something real and fill the emptiness you have accumulated for two months?"

"Just talking... Speaking of which, have you heard about the new pirate group that appeared? The one that killed Captain Henrik."

"Red hair? What's wrong with him?"

"When I went to the toilet just now, I heard that the man was not called Red Hair, but the aberrant wizard who was one of the leaders of the previous events in Custer City State."

"Ah?" the sailor said in surprise: "That guy? He came to the sea and killed people on the Black Pearl?"

"Not only that," the sailor in the oilcloth shorts approached mysteriously and whispered: "I heard from those people that he killed another Judgment Knight of the Dawn Church two days ago."

"Wow, good job on him!"

"Who says it's not the case? He has such a record just after he went to sea. I'm afraid his bounty will be very high later..."

"……envious……"

The two looked at each other, sighed at the same time, raised their glasses and clinked them together, "Cheers to Captain Garbage!"

"...the aberrant wizard Wayne Loft, the warrior who dares to challenge the Church of Dawn!"

"Shit, it's not like the Ghost School is behind it. If it were any other extraordinary person, who would dare to kill Dawn Church believers so unscrupulously in the Eastern Continent?"

"That is, do you really think that those terrifying fanatic believers in Dawn don't exist?"

"I bet two gold pounds that the next time the Church of Dawn takes action, the aberrant wizard will be thrown into the deep sea and fed to those aberrations!"

"and!"

"What a stupid and false person..."

A figure shrouded in black robes sitting in the corner of the tavern glanced around with a pair of cloudy eyes, and laughed softly. The laughter was hoarse, as if it contained countless overlapping sounds.

The aberrant wizard... will never appear again after tonight!

At this time, a man dressed as a pirate appeared in the tavern, walked right next to the man in black robe, and whispered something.

"oh?"

After hearing this, the man in black robe disappeared, leaving only some ashes and blood.

Just as the pirate was about to leave, his arm accidentally got stained with the ashes. The next second, his whole body seemed to be ignited and a ball of fire burst out, causing the bustling pirates around him to flee in all directions.

"Damn it, someone actually dares to take action here. Aren't they afraid of being chased by the Black Pearl?"

"Stop talking nonsense and run away!"

"..."

Not to mention the panic in the tavern, when the man in black robe appeared again, he had already arrived at the five-story building closest to the tower.

A golden wooden sign standing downstairs clearly says - Golden Dis Station.

The man in black robe emerged from the shadows, slowly entered the small building, went straight to the top floor, opened the door and walked in. A cold voice sounded, "Dis, the mission failed?"

In the center of a gorgeously decorated room, a strong giant three meters tall was sitting cross-legged on the ground. There were several wine barrels on the table in front of him, and the giant was drinking heavily.

Not far from him, there were several pirates in different clothes, just like him, drinking heavily and talking and laughing.

There was obviously a fun party going on here.

However, after these people saw the man in black robe walking in, they stopped talking and laughing, and even the giant in the middle put down the wine barrel, "Here you come, Peter Cabrera."

His voice was rough, and there were two strange blushes on his face. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot before this.

"Hmph, your people told me that the person who went to snipe the aberrant wizard died?"

"Well, he's dead. That crazy woman Stacey is dead, as well as those monsters under your command." Giant Dis burped and stared at the man in black robes with a gloomy look, "I think you should give me an explanation. Why are your subordinates like trash, being manipulated at will?"

"Being manipulated?" The man in black robe was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure?"

"certainly!"

"Impossible! As servants of the real master, we cannot be controlled by falsehood!"

despair!

The giant patted the table and stretched out his hand to the side.

A short girl appeared timidly from behind him and placed a palm-sized gem in his hand.

"This is what the ship sent, take a good look!" The giant threw the gem over.

The man in black robe took it, his cloudy eyes became brighter, the cloth on his hand was slightly loosened, and a trace of ashes penetrated into the gem.

The gem suddenly brightened, projecting an illusory screen.

I saw a five-masted sailboat with white and gold patterns slowly emerging from the screen, cutting through the waves under the red moon.

Then, like a movie, the next content was played.

Stacie jumped onto the ship with hundreds of roaring abyssal aberrations and killed dozens of pirates.

At the same time, the five men in black robes behind her also followed and surrounded a very beautiful woman with an excellent figure.

"Wow - this woman has a really nice figure!"

Seeing this, a pirate whistled loudly, and when he was about to say something else, he saw the man in black robe at the door suddenly pulled down his black robe, revealing a thin body covered with blood-red cloth strips underneath. Ashes mixed with blood shot out from his fingertips.

puff.

"She's really nice, I...uh?" The pirate lowered his head, saw the blood hole burned on his chest, and looked at the man in black robe blankly, "You..."

"Quiet!" The man in black robe had cold eyes, still staring at the image in the illusory picture.

The other pirates were just about to get up when they saw the giant in the middle raising his hand to signal them to go back.

"Patel, this is the last time!"

"He interrupted my viewing!"

"Next time, the alliance with your Twilight Sect will end!"

The man in black robe glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the blood-red cloth moved slightly, as if raising a smile, "Then do as you say."

"snort!"

The giant snorted and said nothing more, staring at the woman in the picture coldly.

I saw that ridiculously beautiful woman, surrounded by several Twilight Mystical Monks, evading the attacks of ashes and blood in a panic.

And just when everyone thought she would die under the cloth, a dazzling black light suddenly appeared on her body.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Black and dazzling?

But after careful observation, the man in black robe had to admit that it was indeed a bright black light, but that layer of brightness was actually a layer of hidden power attached to the black light.

"What extraordinary characteristic is that?" Giant Dis asked with confusion.

"Soul, sublimated soul!" The man in black robe said coldly: "There is something wrong with her body. Such a huge soul power is definitely not something ordinary extraordinary people can possess. It is very possible..."

Soul sublimation?

Dis also reacted and uttered three words together with the man in black robe, "Resurrectionist!"

"Such a scene should be an old monster that has escaped the change of era..."

Then, as those black lights disappeared, the woman in the picture showed a charming smile, her lips slightly opened, as if she said something.

The man in black robe looked at the shape of her mouth and repeated her words in his heart: Dusk and dawn are just dapples split by the sun, and garbage is garbage...

Blasphemer!

"How dare you blaspheme the great Lord of Truth!"

The man in black robe angrily glared at the woman in the picture, "Damn heretic!"

Giant Dis gave him a puzzled look, "What did she say?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

The man in black robe replied. After seeing the countless black threads shot out of the woman's hands controlling all the secret monks, a secret emerged in his mind.

Soul threads, puppets dancing with gods?

"is her!?"

"She? Who is she?" Dis looked at the startled man in black robe angrily, and said displeasedly: "Peter, as a party of the alliance, I also have the right to know who killed Stasi. .”

"No, you are not qualified to know her identity!"

The man in black robe had a colder look in his eyes. After glaring at him, he took back the gem, turned and walked out, "I have to leave for a while, and I will talk about the next thing when I come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly left the small building and disappeared into the shadows in the corner.

Dis and several pirates looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the giant picked up the barrel and drank a few more sips, humming: "Twilight Sect!"

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"wait!"

Several pirates looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Boss, I don't understand why we have to fight him..."

"Shut up!"

The giant roared, glared at a few people and said, "You think I want to endure them?"

"Then why?"

boom!

Dis put down the wine barrel heavily and stared at the person who spoke coldly, breathing heavily as if he wanted to vent his anger.

"Lord Dis..."

At this time, the short figure behind him reached out and patted his arm, with that timid look on his delicate face.

After seeing everyone's eyes turned to her, the girl hid behind the giant in panic and whispered: "Don't be angry, you forgot, the captain said that when this matter is over, you will be able to enter The qualifications there…”

There?

The pirates looked at Dis in confusion, "Boss, where is it?"

Dis took a breath and said with a somewhat lonely look: "Forget it, I might as well tell you... You still remember that half a month ago, Suad's people found me, hoping to let us fight with him against the Black Pearl. Something, right?"

"Remember, it's related to the Araniga?"

"Well, these bastards are the people who are with them. What are they called the Twilight Sect... Damn it, why don't you say it's the Dawn Church?"

A trace of resentment appeared on Dis's face, and he said angrily: "If Suad hadn't promised me that after the matter was over, he would give us a piece of the Forbidden Sea, how could I have agreed to let them board the ship?"

"Forbidden Sea?!"

The faces of several pirates were filled with joy, "Boss, where is it? The Cordo Sea, or the Marshoman Sea to the east of the Eastern Continent? Or..."

"Go to the southeast." Dis saw their expressions and understood that no one on the ship could resist the temptation of using a place like that as a bargain. "This matter must not be revealed, otherwise..."

"understand!"

The short figure behind him also breathed out quietly, holding the belt around his waist with his small hands, and a trace of fascination appeared on his delicate face.

The forbidden sea where you can freely enter and exit... I really hope I can stay in it for the rest of my life and never come out...

…

…

Wei En on the other side did not open the book of era relics in the end.

It's not that he valued the agreement with Claire so much, or that he wasn't curious about Claire's secrets, but it just happened that the black communicator sounded at this time, and Teresa had some problems collecting information.

"You mean, Dean Josue can't get the volume "In-depth Research on the Transformation of the Undead" written by a certain legendary wizard?"

"Yes, director."

Teresa looked a little frustrated, lowering her head and not daring to look at the screen where the gray fog was generated, "The dean has already gone to find Tutor Boras, but he won't be able to give you feedback until tomorrow at the earliest."

"Apart from the research report?" Wei En nodded. He was not surprised by the problems in data collection.

The Ghost School is so big that there can be no real harmony within it.

This has nothing to do with the system of the school, it is purely due to human nature.

"Most of the information has been obtained, and some of the reports and era relics stored in other research centers have been communicated with the dean. They will make a copy and send it to us as soon as possible."

Having said this, Teresa took out a piece of parchment and looked at it, "In addition, Ossel and the others also obtained some knowledge about mechanical transformation through their own channels, but the amount was very small, and most of them only related to Junior wizard stage..."

"Um,"

Wei En saw her disappointed expression and said with a smile: "This is enough for the moment. You can sort out the information, keep a backup, and send it all to me."

"Aren't you going to wait any longer?" Teresa was stunned. "The knowledge in that legendary research report records the secrets of the structure of undead creatures. I think it is very important to us."

"Let's do some research first. In fact, I don't believe the content in the information." Wei En said nonchalantly: "For me, they are just references. I will obtain more accurate information through verification and experiments."

"real?"

"certainly."

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "This puts me at ease...but I still want to say sorry. Director, I want to keep this matter simple."

"It doesn't matter,"

Wei En looked at the time and saw that it was not far from the time of the Nightmare World Tower gathering, so he planned to temporarily interrupt the call, "That's it for now. I'll ask you to sort out the information as soon as possible."

"Okay, director, I will sort it out with Escobar and the others and hand it over to you as soon as possible."

"good."

"Goodbye, Director."

Teresa bowed and saluted. Even if the director didn't mind the research report, she had already made up her mind to get it!

"goodbye."

Wayne waved goodbye to her and turned off the communicator.

As the screen disappeared, Wei En simply packed up the items on the workbench, looked at the dark red cover of the book of era relics, and sighed.

"Forget it, let's wait until Claire thinks about it clearly."

Then he put the relic into the ring again, then took out the ticket to the nightmare world and stuck it on his forehead.

Claire's incident, combined with several things he encountered before, the dead trees and deformed species that appeared when he advanced to the meditation method, the fusion of the original sub-bodies...

It made him more cautious about the weirdness of the extraordinary world.

Wayne has now realized that even if he has an extraordinary power panel, there are still many strange things that he doesn't know about.

In the final analysis, he is still not strong enough...

The next second, his consciousness reappeared in the area under the tower with the activation of the Nightmare Realm ticket.

Speaking of which, it had been a few days since he last entered the nightmare world, and he didn't know if other areas were as chaotic as the Cordo Sea.

"...Damn it, the Saint of Valor has just left, and the Saint of Judgment has appeared again. The Eastern Continent is really not a place for people to stay!"

"are you sure?"

"certainly!"

"Then look at the guys from the Blood Spirit School over there..."

Several black figures looked in the direction he pointed, and heard the twisted black figures in red robes shouting loudly: "...recover the bodies of the priests of the Church of the Dawn at a favorable price!"

"They, they must not be from the Eastern Continent!"

"Even if it's not, it doesn't matter... The fact that they dare to continue to purchase the corpses of the priests shows that the judgment saint is not a big threat to them..."

"That makes sense. Judgment Saint Celestia has not walked around the mainland for several years. The target of this visit should be the aberrant wizard. What are you, the Despair Sect, afraid of?"

"Hoho...what are you afraid of? It seems that you still don't know much about Saint Celestia."

"oh?"

"As the Judgment Saint of the Church of Dawn, Saint Celestia looks down upon heretics the most. Not to mention our Despair Sect, she will kill even those sects that don't do much killing!"

"ah?"

"Only you idiots who know nothing can think that she is not a threat!"

"She...fuck, look what I saw!?"

"How...huh?? The number 600..."

The visitor was none other than Wei En, who had not appeared in the nightmare world for a long time. This time, he still did not choose to hide his original power. The big number six hundred written in Gonzalez language on his forehead annoyed all the extraordinary people around him. There was a moment of panic.

"The original strength exceeds 600...Is it possible that the strength has reached the ruling level?"

"Damn it, be quiet, he, he... I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to offend you."

The dark figures quickly lowered their heads after seeing Wei En's gaze.

For the extraordinary beings and priests here in the transit area who mostly only have captain-level strength, they cannot afford to offend a strong person with an original strength of 600.

Even in this nightmare world, there are restrictions set by the Nightmare Sect, and this is still the case!

"Go on, I want to know about the saint..."
