Taboo 0-38 Bell of Truth...

A taboo object formed at the beginning of the Second Era...

Three abilities, three states, one more perverted than the other?

Wayne frowned as he looked at the series of prompt messages on the panel.

It was obvious that someone was using that forbidden object to lock his location, and was even willing to sacrifice his own life for this purpose...

Who is so generous?

No, I should say who wants to find him?

Several names came to Wei En's mind, Dawn Church, Dusk Sect, Wizard School?

Based on what he has done since he came to this world, only these three organizations will take him so seriously...

But after thinking about it one by one, Wei En still had not determined a specific goal.

First of all, in the past two days since he killed Dawn's Judgment Knight, the Judgment Saint should have rushed to his place, and it is very likely that she would use forbidden objects to lock his location.

Secondly, people from the Twilight Sect may also pursue him further, especially since several mysterious monks died on his side yesterday.

In the end, the wizard school... The reason why there is such suspicion is that the time when the forbidden object appeared was just after he announced the flaws of the spell runes in the nightmare world, which had to arouse his thoughts...

And if it is a wizard school, the ghosts must be eliminated first. If they want to find them, there is no need to go to such trouble.

Followed by the Mechanical School and the Blood Spirit School, these two schools do not focus on runes, so they should not specifically seek out the shortcomings of spell runes.

Then the only ones who can do such a thing are the occult and shadow schools...

"Secret..."

Wei En frowned. If it was from the esoteric school, it would be troublesome.

He now also needs knowledge of the fate divination system of the occult school, or the fate barrier spell.

Or is there a more secretive organization that is interested in him?

Wei En recalled the black castle in the dream, as well as the bright hall and the blurry figures on the high steps, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Tsk! You actually used such a taboo object to deal with me..."

Then, he followed the prompts on the panel and tried to change the original power to delay the forbidden object from locking his position.

Talent-Spiritual conversion, the toughness level is converted into original power, seven hundred.

[You are guided by the forbidden object 0-38 Bell of Truth... Special rewards: Survival points +50, spiritual level +1. 】

[You receive...reward: +50 survival points. 】

The prompt messages that popped up every ten seconds stopped abruptly.

Wei En waited for a few seconds, and when he saw no new prompts popping up on the board, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It works, but I don't know how long it can be delayed."

It seems that the priority of that destiny barrier spell must be raised one level!

I just hope that the little worm can bring him good news from the esoteric school, preferably together with the knowledge inheritance of destiny divination...

Well, unless the occultists are crazy...

It's impossible to think about it. In fact, after communicating with Wizard Nana, he gave up on obtaining knowledge about destiny divination.

With this in mind, Wei En simply washed himself, dressed neatly and walked out of the lounge.

"Good morning, Wayne."

Miss Zombie stood outside the rest area, hunched slightly, looking sideways at him, "Breakfast is ready."

"Um."

Wayne nodded towards her, turned to look in the direction of the dining table, and smiled.

At this time, everyone except Sharapova was sitting quietly at the dining table, waiting for him to start eating together.

Tina hugged the two dolls and looked at the cheese on the table without blinking, as if she had some appetite.

Pavla sat at the end, with her hands clenched on her knees and looking in the direction of the rest area.

"You got up very late today," Claire leaned on the chair, folded her arms, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Did you do something bad last night? You were exhausted. Plant~”

"I have done a lot of things. It's hard to judge whether they are bad things or not," Wayne smiled, pulled out his chair and sat down, "Eat."

"Praise be to the great dawn, thank you for giving..."

At this time, Pavla quickly clasped her hands together and muttered something.

Just as Wei En was about to reach out to get the food, after hearing her words, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Stop!"

"Thank you..." Pafula opened her eyes and pouted, "Don't interrupt me, this is what every Dawn servant must do before eating..."

"Understandable, but not necessary."

Wayne took two pieces of bread and put them on the plate, put another piece of cheese between them, took a bite and said, "These foods are all provided by me, not the great dawn you mentioned."

"You? I did these, so do you want to thank me?"

"Thank you."

Wei En thanked him casually, but there was no sincerity in his words.

"..."

Pafula was a little dumbfounded. She thought the evil wizard couldn't say such words of thanks, but she didn't expect that he was so thick-skinned...

Helpless, she had no choice but to pick up the dessert in front of her and eat it. Every bite seemed to bite Wei En, hard and hard.

The others listened to the two bickering without any change on their faces.

Only Claire had a hint of amusement in her eyes and smiled: "Captain, it seems you are in a good mood today~"

good?

Wei En lowered his head and ate his breakfast. As soon as he woke up, he found that he had been stabbed in the back with a forbidden object. It was strange that he was in a good mood.

Therefore, when he heard Pafla talking about dawn just now, he interrupted.

Just because the Church of Dawn is not a good thing, what is the difference between praising Dawn and praising the enemy?

"I will be busy with other things next, and I'll leave it to you outside."

"oh?"

Claire was a little surprised. She thought that Wayne would ask her about the epochal relic, but she didn't expect that he would not mention a word...

This is even worse than the long list of lies she made up last night!

"The matter with Ghost," Wei En simply explained: "I agree to join the school's research center and I need to lead people to complete the research on the subject."

In addition, he also needs to manage his identity as a wizard, or to understand the world more deeply through his identity as the director of Research Institute No. 66.

Just like what happened this morning, if he knew more secrets or had more information, he could deduce the location of the forbidden object and who had taken action against him.

Strength is important, but now he knows that if there is no reliable force behind him, there will be many things to worry about.

But when it comes to the two forces he belongs to, it's really a bit embarrassing.

In the Ghost School, strictly speaking, he is not a wizard trained by ghosts, but is just a peripheral intelligence officer.

Both the senior leaders of the school and himself knew this very well, which was why Ghost spared no effort to show his favor to him.

As for the Eternal Life Society that he just joined, he is more of a non-staff member, more like a mercenary than a member. He still doesn't know the details of the Eternal Life Society.

Therefore, taking all things into consideration, whether it is for himself or for the mechanical transformation of Miss Zombie, he intends to complete the research to improve his position in the ghost.

"That's it..."

Claire breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the things she made up last night were no longer needed for the time being.

"If there is nothing else, I will stay in the research area."

"Then I understand. It just so happens that it takes time for those lovely guards to grow up. I will take time to go outside and take a look."

"Well," Wei En nodded, "don't forget to remind him to modify the ship when he gets to the next island."

"Okay," Claire asked curiously after finishing her breakfast, "Aren't you going to go with me then?"

"decide as things go."

Wayne gave an ambiguous answer. It would still be some time before the sailboat was repaired on the island. In the meantime, he needed to master the destiny barrier spell of the occult school as much as possible, as well as the experimental work related to the project.

Otherwise, the Church of Dawn, the Sect of Dusk...or the unknown existence that uses forbidden objects against him will be like a sword hanging over his head, taking away part of his energy.

"Then I understand."

Seeing what he said, Claire stood up and walked towards the training area. When her hand was on the door handle, she turned around and asked: "You, why don't you ask me about that relic?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment. When he understood, he couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter and tears: "When you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me. Before that, even if I ask, I guess you won't tell the truth based on your personality. "

"...You know so little about me!"

After saying that, Claire pushed the door in and closed the door heavily.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked up and saw the eyes of the guards who were training, "What are you looking at? Did this queen teach you the extraordinary ritual?"

When did Wayne understand himself so deeply?

Humph, he actually suspected that this queen would lie... Let him not guess it next time!

Wayne didn't know that he didn't ask questions that might involve privacy out of respect, and it would also make Claire heartbroken. As he just said, he has a lot of things going on right now.

After breakfast, he asked Tina and Shava to continue learning Gonzales.

As for the candidate saint of the dawn, Wei En did not leave her idle and arranged a lot of cleaning tasks for her, such as wiping the stage, auditorium, and decorating the entire stage.

Even though they were minor matters, based on his observations of Pafula over the past two days, he should be competent enough to handle these tasks.

After doing this, he went straight to the work area to check the progress of Zero's production of mechanical puppets.

"Are you already doing the final assembly? It's going very quickly."

"Father," Zero fiddled with the parts on the ground and had spliced ​​out the core runes of the mechanical puppet. "Please help me see if the core array is okay?"

Wei En looked at the parts and nodded: "No problem, the parameters and engraved textures of each part are perfect, but..."

He glanced at the parts piled in the corner and couldn't help but ask: "How many have you made?"

"Sorry," Zero scratched his head in embarrassment, "Some of the parts in the middle are too fine. I, I made a few mistakes."

"How many times? Those piles don't look like..."

However, Wei En just joked.

Compared with simple parts polishing, rune engraving requires more stringent requirements and requires maintaining the stability of mental strength. With Zero's current strength, being able to do this without the supplement of enlightenment potions has already met his requirements.

Next, Type Zero only needs more practice, and by raising the level of the core runes to increase the success rate of engraving, you can start the next step.

Seeing this, Wayne was not in a hurry to leave. After the Zero was assembled and a series of tests were completed, he dropped his request to continue production and returned to his studio.

Of course, he didn't know whether Zero, who was happily jumping around with his mechanical puppet in his arms, heard his request...

Um?

As soon as he entered the studio, Wayne saw the blue and white striped boxes placed on the workbench flashing, reminding him that someone had sent new items to Ghost.

He opened the blue and white box and took out the contents, looked at it, "Another letter..."

It turned out to be not the information sent from the research institute as he had guessed, but a letter with the words "Ghost Wizard Management Office" written on it.

Is it a reward for finding out that his wizard level has been improved?

Then, he took out the letter and read it.

"Dear Director Wayne Loft."

"In this letter, I need to inform you of two things."

"First, following the notification from the Legend of Boras, Ghost will arrange for all research institutes to conduct inspections on all spell runes within the school. The main inspection contents are as follows: There are two defects in the spell runes..."

Seeing this, Wei En frowned. They were the two flaws he revealed in the nightmare world last night...

So, after Ghost learned about the flaws of the flickering spell, he directly ordered the research institute to check all the spell runes?

Damn it, this kind of response was really beyond his expectation.

According to his speculation last night, after the various university sects verified that the flaw in the flashing spell rune was real, they might investigate other spell runes, but that would be a few days later, at least after they discovered that the second spell rune had the same flaw. Rune defects later?

Unexpectedly, not even a day had passed, but only a few hours had passed, and Ghost had directly ordered all spell runes to be checked...

"Now it seems that the forbidden object guiding the location last night should be related to the defect of the spell rune!"

But who it is, Wei En is not sure yet.

But what he can be sure of is that his previous guess is probably correct - the school does not know the flaws of the magic runes!

Moreover, not only ghosts have similar flaws, but other schools of thought should also have them!

Thinking of this, Wayne continued to read the contents of the letter.

"...The above are the details of the two defects. For more specific task arrangements, you can contact Dean Josue of the research center to which you belong, and he will pass you a detailed list."

"In addition, the confidentiality level of this matter is top secret. No information about this incident can be disclosed to anyone outside the school. Otherwise, you will be punished by the school!"

"As for the second thing!"

"Director Wayne Loft, or should I call you the respected 'Faceless' Great Wizard, please contact the Wizard Management Office immediately after reading this letter, and I will inform you personally!"

"On the path of pursuing knowledge, death is not the end - Sheldon Foskate, Wizard Management Office of the Ghost School."

Faceless? !

When Wei En saw the 'faceless wizard' on the parchment, his breathing stopped for a few seconds, and his heart beat rapidly.

Does Ghost already know that he is Faceless in the nightmare world?

How is that possible, I... hmm?

Wei En read it carefully a few more times and vaguely noticed that something was wrong with the wording above.

Why, it's not what he thinks, is it?

"What a wizard management office, so good!" Wei En threw the letter out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I almost got scammed..."

For a moment, he really believed that the ghost had deduced that he was Faceless through some means.

But if you think about it carefully, if the ghost side really knew his identity, would they simply tell him through a letter from the wizard management office?

The reason why he was sure that the second paragraph was a lie from Ghost was very simple.

From the first thing about checking the spell runes, it is not difficult to see how seriously Ghost attaches to the flaws of the spell runes.

And the notification through a letter from someone in the wizard management office is obviously very inconsistent with that level of attention. At least Dean Josue should have contacted him personally, or simply a legendary wizard in the school should come forward, right?

From this, Wei En reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that the person who could figure out how to use this method to lock the identity of the ‘Faceless’ great wizard is really a genius. He actually sent a group of fraudulent letters in the wizarding world...

Okay, okay, let’s do this, right?

Buzz buzz...

At this time, the black trophy on the table sounded.

Wei En's relaxed mood became tense again. It probably wasn't Dean Josue...

He took a deep breath and pressed the switch of the black trophy communicator.

"Dear Director Wayne Loft, Internal Number 11346, Sorcerer Teresa Irina Silvera, requests to establish a channel with you. Do you agree?"

Teresa?

so far so good……

Wei En calmed down and said, "I agree."

"Good morning, Director." Theresa said with a bright smile after seeing his figure, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"Good morning, Teresa." Wayne nodded lightly and asked, "Is there any new progress at the research institute?"

Teresa took out a long piece of parchment and said, "After sorting it out with Senior Escobar and the others, we have backed up all the data sent by the school."

"There are currently 432 research reports, most of which are related to the transformation of undead creatures. Only 12 research reports involve topics related to mechanical transformation."

"In addition, there are one hundred and twenty volumes of Era Relics. Similarly, there are only two volumes related to the knowledge of the Mechanical School."

"There are only more than 400 research reports involving the transformation of the undead?"

Wei En frowned, even including those era relics, there were less than 600 copies...

Based on the accumulation of ghosts over several epochs, it should be more than this, right?

"Yes, yes." Teresa looked a little confused and said calmly: "Dean Josue said that there are only so many that can be obtained at the moment..."

"That's okay. You can return the original to the research center and send me a copy of the new one."

Wayne didn't worry too much. These materials were only used to provide auxiliary reference for his research on the subject, and the possibility of being useful was low.

"It's been copied."

Teresa quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she followed Osana's suggestion last night and copied two scrolls.

With this thought in mind, she turned her head and gestured towards Osana who was not far away, causing smiles to appear on the faces of Osana and others.

"Do you have any other instructions?"

"No...yes!" Wei En thought for a while and asked: "There was just a notice from the school saying that they were going to conduct an investigation of spell runes?"

Teresa was stunned for a moment, "Did you receive it?"

"Huh? Shouldn't I receive it?"

"I'm sorry, Director," Teresa quickly explained: "That's right, we were notified of this matter last night. But Dean Josue said that because you are not here with Fon Enriso, this matter There is no need for us to participate.”

"But he also said, let us abide by the order of Tutor Boras, and we are prohibited from leaving the institute, and we are prohibited from contacting anyone else outside except you..."

"Forbidden?" Wei En's expression became more serious, and the ghost's reaction was even more serious than what the letter said.

"Yes, the notice said that after all defects in spell runes are checked, we will be notified to lift the relevant restrictions."

Teresa looked at the others again, silently asking if there was anything missing?

Escobar and the others shook their heads quickly, then nodded wildly, and danced towards her, indicating that there was one more thing they had not said.

"That's right!" Teresa recalled for a few seconds, slapped her forehead, then looked at Wayne on the screen and said, "Director, there is one more thing."

"explain."

"It is said that the rune defects mentioned in the notice were raised by a great wizard within the school. But the strange thing is that he did not publish it in the school journal, but used a false identity to pass through the nightmare world. What the wizards' gathering said..."

"Is it called Wu Mian?"

"It should be," Teresa said sheepishly: "I was busy preparing those materials last night, so I didn't pay too much attention... I only know that so far, the school does not know the specific identity of the great wizard and is currently investigating. .”

really!

At present, it is not clear to the school that he is Wu Mian.

"Investigation? Then I understand."

"What's wrong? Director." Seeing his strange expression, Teresa couldn't help but ask, "Did the school also arrange for you to participate in the investigation?"

"No, it's just that when I just received the notification, there was an incomprehensible sentence on it."

Wei En said calmly: "Now that I think about it, it should be the management office's unique investigation method."

He mentally pointed his middle finger at the wise man in the wizard management office again.

If he hadn't reacted at the time, he would have been in contact with Sheldon Foskate of the Wizarding Management Office through the liaison device.

"should be……"

Although Teresa didn't quite understand what he said, she didn't pay much attention to it and instead smiled and said, "You don't know how lively the school was last night because of the defective flashing spell runes."

"I'm not sure about other research centers, but on Von Enriso's side, except for our institute and the No. 1 institute where Dean Josue is located, all other institutes are doing relevant tests."

"After working for three hours, the great wizard Nilge of Research Institute No. 5 took the lead in publishing the research report. Dean Josue praised it very much, and even specially allocated a sum of gold pounds just now."

"Really?" Wei En asked thoughtfully: "Has there been any research to confirm whether other spell runes have similar flaws?"

"Yes, it was also tested by the great wizard Nerge. In the morning, I heard someone mentioned that so far, four spell runes have been discovered..."

Four?

Wei En nodded, "Since Dean Qiao Sue has not arranged for our research institute, our focus should still be on project research. After I read the information, I will tell you the next step plan and related research. arrange."

"Just wait for the director's notification!"

Teresa patted the small hanging clock, looking very confident in her research project.

"But don't relax. During this period, take a closer look at the research materials and prepare undead creatures and mechanical materials according to the previous plan."

Wayne thought: "Undead creatures are mainly zombies, and their body structures are more in line with the human body. As for the materials that can be used for mechanical transformation... Teresa, I leave it to you. Get some of the various materials first, and they will be used later. .”

"no problem!"

Teresa had a smile on her face. Problems that could be solved with money were not big problems for her!

"Then come here first."

When Wayne saw her expression, he knew that he no longer had to worry about insufficient research funds.

There is such a rich woman in the research institute... It feels so comfortable!

Not long after, the blue and white box rang again, and Wei En took out the space ring containing the research information, preparing to read all the information today.

Uh-huh.

At this time, a crisp popping sound came, and a small figure with a huge head appeared on the workbench.

"Um?"

The cute little nightmare worm is back?

“Hiss, hiss—” (Eat, eat—)

PS: There is no ten thousand, nor eight thousand, seven thousand words... It is already the limit for today, but it is not my limit. I will continue tomorrow!
