Chapter 195 Fortune Telling
"Director Armitage?"
The person who appeared in the communicator was none other than the werewolf Armitage Freed, the director of the Intelligence Department of the Ghost School.
"Team Leader Wayne," Armitage said calmly, "First of all, congratulations on successfully joining the Von Enriso Research Center."
"Thanks."
So serious?
Wei En looked at the expression of the werewolf wizard at this time and thought to himself, this expression did not look like a special congratulation.
"The Ghost School attaches far more importance to researchers than the other four wizarding schools. If you can enter there, it will be of great benefit to your journey as a wizard."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"But at the same time," Armitage looked directly at the figure in the communicator with his wild vertical eyes, "I also hope that you can take your identity as the leader of the Shadow Special Intelligence Team seriously!"
Sure enough... you know he didn't come here specifically to congratulate you?
Wei En asked calmly: "I don't know what aspect you are referring to?"
"For example, the blessing ceremony that took place in the X1087 sea area last night, such as the Judgment Knight Huberto Watson of the Church of Dawn, and the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl..."
Armitage grinned widely, revealing two sharp teeth, "Such a wonderful battle, and it is information about a certain deformed wizard of our ghost, but I learned it from the mouths of wizards from other schools... You said, Doesn’t it appear that I, the Director of Intelligence, am incompetent?”
"Ah, this, this is my negligence." Wei En touched his nose, and then he realized that the purpose of the Intelligence Director's purpose of connecting the passage was to raise an army to investigate.
"No, this is an oversight on my part!" Armitage's eyes showed a little smile, "When I appointed you as the leader of the Shadow Special Operations Team, I did not inform you of the relevant responsibilities immediately."
"..."
Hearing this, Wei En became even more embarrassed.
But if you put yourself in Armitage's shoes, if he were the director of the Intelligence Department, and his subordinates had done such a big thing, he would have learned about it from other people's mouths...
Such a scene must be very embarrassing.
"Sorry, Director Armitage."
"Team Leader Wei En, you don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong in this matter."
Armitage raised a furry paw and waved it, and then said with a very serious expression: "But I hope that in the future, the information involving the Ghost School can be passed to me as soon as possible. Especially the killing of the four orthodox churches Or information about the pirates of the Black Pearl, okay?"
"No problem." Wei En nodded, "This is my responsibility as the leader of the Shadow Special Intelligence Team."
"Very good, so we can reach a consensus. Of course, our intelligence office has complete rules. Every piece of intelligence you submit will be rewarded accordingly. In this regard, I believe that when you served as an intelligence officer in Custer City-State, , should know something.”
"Um."
Intelligence officer...
Wei En thought about his miserable career as an intelligence officer, and secretly thought that he hoped that the intelligence office would not deduct gold pounds like the Liaison Officer of the Kingdom of Chartland.
"Then, please submit what happened last night. It should be okay, right?" A smile appeared on Armitage's face.
"All passed?"
Others are fine, but matters involving the transaction between the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl are not convenient to submit as intelligence.
"That part of the information about the Church of Dawn is good. I want to know the fate of the Dawn believer who received the blessing. As for whether you join the Eternal Life Society or the Black Pearl, the school will not care."
But ask?
Wayne smiled knowingly, "I understand."
However, if you don't ask for help, you should try not to report it if you can.
"On this point, the wizarding school has something in common." Armitage straightened his face and said in a serious tone: "On the contrary, the school is also happy to see that there are wizards who can go out and grow alone."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"The reason is very simple. The resources in the school are limited, and there are only so many research center locations. With the long lifespan of wizards, especially the wizards who have transformed into undead, their growth will require a huge amount of resources. Even if Even though Ghost has a deep foundation, he still can’t afford it.”
I see.
Wei En suddenly realized that a wizard's promotion requires not only knowledge, but also a lot of related research before he can turn it into his own strength.
If nothing else, let’s take Sharapova as an example.
When she learns how to make mechanical puppets, she needs to consume a lot of metal materials. This is still in the early stages.
One can imagine how much resources it takes to cultivate an official wizard, a great wizard, or a legendary wizard...
"Another point is that the school is not worried about the disaster caused by wizards joining other organizations. As long as the ghosts are not completely betrayed, under normal circumstances, we will not pay too much attention."
At this point, Armitage paused and looked at Wayne on the illusory screen, "But for an outstanding wizard like you, the school will still maintain the necessary attention."
Wei En laughed dryly, "Director, I took note of what you said."
Necessary attention?
Refers to intelligence collection and the letters he received when he was promoted before?
"Besides," Armitage's eyes flashed with a smile, "As the team leader, I can't always let you be in a team alone."
Wei En raised his eyebrows, are you planning to arrange members for him?
Well, Fon Enriso had just prepared several researchers for him, and the Intelligence Department immediately arranged for him to be members of the Shadow Action Team...
Why do you feel that the Intelligence Department is at odds with the Research Center?
Or is it that the Werewolf Director and the Skeleton Director are at odds?
Armitage seemed to understand what he was thinking, coughed, and continued:
"Later, I will send you a list. The people on this list are all shadow members active in the Cordo Sea. You..."
"Wait, are you referring to all the shadows in the Cordo Sea?"
Wei En looked at the werewolf director with surprise. In such a vast sea area, there should be many shadow members, right?
Moreover, he has said before that he does not want to serve as a liaison officer for a certain region. Doesn't this arrangement actually give him the responsibility of a liaison officer?
"No, you only have five permanent team members. The others are shadows that you can contact and mobilize. I will note the details on the list."
Armitage thought for a moment and reacted, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "I know you don't want to be a liaison officer, so I won't arrange specific tasks for you."
I didn't expect that anyone would dislike the position of liaison officer in their intelligence department... That position can be a weapon for making money in the hands of some people.
Wei En performed a standard wizard ceremony, "Thank you, Director, for understanding. I have a lot to do at this stage, and I don't want to be too distracted."
He is quite satisfied with this arrangement. If there are no specific tasks, he doesn't need to include them in the plan.
After having fixed team members, he can also assign the required information to them in the form of tasks.
Ahem, it seems that he still wants to become a liaison officer...
"Well, you just need to inform the Intelligence Department about the part involving ghosts. By the way, there is one more thing I need to remind you."
"Please tell me."
Armitage seemed to have deep meaning and said: "The Sawyer family has a close relationship with the school. You'd better get along well with the heir. I believe this will be helpful to your future."
"The Sawyer family?" Wei En was startled, thinking of the kind girl he had met before, "You are not talking about Vianne Emma Sawyer, are you?"
"That's her. It seems you know her identity well." Armitage blinked and said slightly narrowly, "Then you must not know her family background."
Wayne shook his head, "Well, I really don't know. It's an accident that she is on my boat."
That kind girl's family has a deep background. Is it related to the Ghost School?
"Just remember what I said, it won't do you any harm."
Armitage didn't want to say more. Although for wizards, family is something that must be abandoned, but the Sawyer family is different...
"I see."
Wayne nodded. He didn't expect that the girl Claire saved casually was also involved with the ghost. It seemed that she would have to remind her later.
"Finally, news came from the Church of Dawn this morning that the Sanctuary already knew about your killing of Huberto. Saint Jobin XV personally sent a message requesting the trial of Saint Celestia Ada Si, lead her army of judgment to hunt you down."
Having said this, Armitage's expression was obviously more serious, "Celestia is not limited by the power of faith like Huberto. She has completely mastered the 'judgment authority', and her strength is comparable to that of a legendary transcendent." , in some aspects, even far beyond the legendary level.”
Judgment Saint, legendary strength?
Dawn Church is really clinging to him!
Wei En narrowed his eyes slightly, "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."
"If possible, I hope you can learn more about divination. Even if you cannot reach the level of a prophet, you should at least have the ability to deviate from the guidance of fate, which will be very helpful for your next journey."
"Divination knowledge..."
Wei En thought about his previous speculation when the Grand Knight of Judgment discovered his whereabouts. Can the divination results be biased?
But where to find this?
I remember that there was no divination-related knowledge on the exchange list I saw before...
"I don't know if this knowledge can be exchanged directly by the school?"
"No."
Armitage shook his head, "That is the deepest hidden core system of the occult school - the knowledge of the destiny divination system. You can only find your own way. Although we ghosts also have some divination knowledge, it is not a system. , it is of limited help to you and cannot achieve the effect of deflecting the guidance of fate.”
"Of course, you also have other choices..."
"What choice?" Wayne asked.
"One is to ask the legendary wizard of the occult school's destiny divination system to set up a destiny barrier for you, and the other is for you to advance to the legendary wizard."
Wayne: "..."
Legend level...
Damn it, if he had such ability, would he still be afraid of being pursued by the Dawn Church?
Come and kill each one, it will be fertilizer for him to increase his survival points and attributes!
Armitage seemed to know that neither of these methods was feasible. He coughed and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say. Do you have anything to ask?"
"there is none left……"
"Then, see you next time, Team Leader Wei En."
Before he finished speaking, the figure of the werewolf director disappeared from the illusory screen, and the black liaison device quickly returned to calm.
Wayne looked at the black communication device without fluorescence for a long time before he let out a long breath and said, "Celestia Edas, the Judgment Saint of the Church of Dawn..."
The Church of Dawn really thinks highly of him, even sending legendary priests.
Wei En thought of Youan's action last night, the summoned deep sea beasts that were comparable to level three disasters, and the legendary fire element spell...
Such terrifying strength, with the blessings of Joker and Tina, he can't beat it, right?
It seems that it is necessary to ask about the so-called fate divination system of the esoteric school...
Wei En raised his head and glanced at the ghosts and the others. If he could create a few more original sub-bodies, it might not be impossible to learn the fate divination system.
Alas, I can only prepare first.
Or directly ask a legendary destiny system wizard to bless him with a destiny barrier...
Wei En shook his head and stopped thinking about Dawn Church. If he really can't stop the opponent at that time, he will hide in the theater space, and he will only lose one ship at most.
Immediately afterwards, he sat down at the workbench and took out a pen and paper, preparing to formulate information about what happened last night.
Of course, he only planned to record the relevant information about the Church of Dawn, such as the killing of Huberto and others, the Dawn blessing ceremony, and obtaining the good authority Pafula...
He didn't mention anything else about the Eternal Life Society and the Black Pearl.
While writing the information, Wei En sighed, "I didn't expect that in the past ten days or so, I would still be doing something similar to an intelligence officer..."
But with emotion, his mood actually improved, and he felt quite familiar with returning to the city-state of Custer.
Soon, he put away the parchment he had written on, wrote down the recipient Armitage, put it in a blue and white box and sent it out.
Buzzing…
A minute later, the blue and white box rang again, accompanied by a series of jingling sounds.
The sound of gold pounds?
There should be many such lasting sounds?
Wei En opened the blue and white box, and a golden light came into view.
"1,500 gold pounds?! Is that much?!"
Facts have proved that he still underestimated the generosity of the Intelligence Department, and even more underestimated the greed of the previous liaison officer of the Kingdom of Chartland...
What the hell, if he had such an income when he was in Custer, would he join the Secret Adjustment Department and take risks?
Wayne curled his lips in displeasure, and the liaison officer Olivia appeared in his mind.
I don't know what happened to the zombie now.
I really hope she can be contracted to do some interesting experiments!
Then he put away the gold pound, took out the booklet in the blue and white box, opened it and glanced at it.
Above is what Armitage said about the shadow members in the Cordo Sea. It only records their code names, the internal numbers of the special liaison devices, as well as their locations and identities.
The five people recorded at the top are the five members of his special intelligence team, followed by the shadow members distributed in every corner of the Cordo Sea.
Only three hundred and forty-two shadows?
Wayne put away the list and muttered to himself, "It's much less than expected."
He thought that given the vastness of the Cordo Sea, the number of shadows should be at least a thousand, but he didn't expect that there were only more than 300 people.
"You can contact them later if you need more."
With this in mind, Wei En pulled out another blank piece of parchment, then took out the exchange list and read it.
Now he is only one step away from meeting the conditions for promotion to a senior wizard, and his basic attributes and original power have already met the requirements.
Coupled with the survival points he just gained, it was enough for him to upgrade his newly learned spells to level three.
"If you include soul-devouring spells, currently only the ghost's spells meet the conditions. The driver, Chixin and the secret master are all just short of one spell mark..."
Soon, Wei En selected three magic knowledge scrolls.
The effect of the puppet rage technique of the mechanical puppet system is to overload the rune array on the puppet to achieve a short-term improvement in strength, but it has certain side effects - after each use, you need to rest for a day to accumulate rune energy.
The Flesh and Flesh Strengthening System's Shadow Step is a spell that can increase the user's speed.
In yesterday's battle with Huberto, Wei En knew the limitations of elemental spells, so he needed to increase his speed when he couldn't use the flicker spell.
As for elemental spells, this time he chose a water elemental elf. After all, he was now on the Cordo Sea, so it was necessary to learn an elemental spell suitable for the environment.
Not long after, a voice came from the blue and white box, and Wei En took out three knowledge scrolls.
"Redeem it at 50% off and save a lot of money."
These three scrolls were worth 1,500 gold pounds, and he only had to pay 750 gold pounds to exchange them.
For this reason alone, his decision to join the Von Enrizo Research Center was not a loss.
Thinking like this, Wei En opened one of the scrolls and while reading the content on it, he began to copy the rune patterns in order to master these runes as soon as possible.
…
…
Just when Wei En was trying to further improve his strength, a special meeting was being held for him in the ice castle of the remote northern continent.
"...Dean Josue, congratulations on adding another powerful researcher."
The skeleton wizard Josue Sexton leaned back on the high-backed chair leisurely, with two skeleton claws folded together, and said with a click: "This is inevitable. With the strength of the Von Enriso Research Center, everyone here should be... Is it clear?"
"Haha, as the head of the Von Enrizo Research Center, do you know the strength of wizard Wayne Loft at this time?"
The person sitting opposite him was also an undead wizard, but unlike Josué, this one was a zombie. He only smiled stiffly and said in a stiff tone: "There are not many wizards who can kill the Grand Knight of Judgment, Huberto Watson... not to mention wizards, even the Grand Wizards can do it!"
"I don't know his strength, so what?" Josué stared at the zombie with his deep red eyes and snorted: "This has nothing to do with his evaluation as an excellent researcher!"
"We are discussing his strength now, not his potential in research, Josué."
"So? What does this have to do with you?"
"You..."
"Okay!" Boras, who was sitting at the top, raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two and said in a cold tone: "Quartemoque. Stevenson, as Josué said, this time we are discussing how to deal with the Dawn Church, not focusing on Wayne. "
"..."
Josué was delighted, "Teacher is right, Wayne's matter is not the key, but he has now provoked the Dawn Church, we have to discuss countermeasures, how to protect him."
"Protect?" The zombie wizard Cuatromok curled his lips, "What to protect? That is the Holy Maiden of Judgment, a legendary priest, even if you send a legendary wizard over, you may not be able to protect her, you can't just use those taboos for him, right?"
"Why not, I..."
"Shut up!"
Bolas slapped the table lightly, although the sound was not loud, but the whole venue was quiet instantly.
Except for a few people who had contact with Wayne, the other wizards were folding their arms, looking as if they had nothing to do with it.
As for the zombie wizard Cuatromok, although he secretly complained that the mentor and student were acting, he also shut his mouth tightly and dared not speak again.
"Armitage, tell me about Wayne's situation."
The werewolf wizard sat at the bottom, and it was obvious that his status was not high compared to the people present.
"Wizard Boras, I have just contacted Wizard Wayne and received his report on yesterday's battle. Please take a look first."
As he said this, Armitage stood up respectfully and placed a piece of parchment in front of Boras. After returning to his seat, he continued: "According to what he said above, the main reason for killing the Great Knight of Judgment this time was a taboo - Taboo 2-77 Karel's Whisper..."
"Therefore, I guess he should be a new great wizard, comparable to the ruling level..."
"Just the ruling level?"
Boras looked at the content on the parchment, thought for a few seconds, and made a decision: "In this case, according to the rules of the ghost, his rating will be raised by one level, and the same will be applied to the Dawn Church!"
"Yes! Lord Boras!"
Josué felt relieved. Although the rating was only raised by one level, and it was impossible to arrange legendary wizards to protect Wayne, there would be more resources, which would improve his strength in disguise.
However, he also knew that it was still not enough to rely on these resources to deal with the Saint of Judgment!
"Wayne Loft... the rest is up to you!"
...
...
In the theater, Wayne has already drawn three spell runes, and then studied the fusion with the Death Origin Rune.
[You successfully drew the Puppet Rage Rune. Special reward: Survival points +3, Spirit level +1. ]
[...]
[You successfully drew the Water Elemental Spirit (Death) Rune. Special reward: Survival points +3, Spirit level +1. ]
[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge, your rune proficiency promotion progress: 17/100. Special reward: Spirit level +1. ]
"It feels good this time!"
Wayne looked at the three new runes that merged with the Death Origin Rune, and now it depends on what kind of amplification effect will be obtained after branding.
In fact, every time he branded the Death Fusion Rune, he felt like he was winning a prize.
I don't know if there is such a lucky lady. I hope that she has a better relationship with the god of death, Olanel...
After adding points and upgrading, Wei En kept branding new spell rune patterns on the back of the driver's head.
[You successfully branded the Shadowstep rune (Death), learned Shadowstep (Death), level 1. Evaluation: Oh, now I have to modify your evaluation - strong chicken. Special rewards: survival points +10, toughness level +3, spirit level +3. ]
[Note 1: Shadowstep (Death) level 1, toughness consumption 10/second, effect: when activating the spell, 10 toughness levels are consumed per second, the movement speed is increased by 10%, and the self can stay in the shelter of the kingdom of death for 10 seconds. ]
[Note 2: For each level of Shadowstep (Death), the movement speed is increased by 10%, and the duration is increased by five seconds. ]
[Note 3: The shelter of the kingdom of death will not allow you to go deep into the kingdom of death, and your sight will still stay in the main world. 】
【……】
【You have successfully branded the Water Elemental Spirit (Death), learned the Water Elemental Spirit (Death), level 1...Special rewards: survival points +10, toughness level +3, spirit level +3. 】
【Note 1: Water Elemental Spirit (Death) level 1, spirit consumption 200, effect: in the name of the Death God Auranna, give the Water Elemental Spirit attack the death attribute, lasting 1 minute. 】
[Note 2: Water Elemental Spirit (Death) Level 1, will have 10% of the user's spiritual level, toughness level and source power. ]
[Note 3: For each level of Water Elemental Spirit (Death), the spiritual consumption is reduced by 10%, the duration is increased by one minute, and the attribute increase is increased by 10% of the user, and the number is increased by one. ]
Wai En looked at the introduction of these three spells on the panel and the survival points required for their upgrades, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Good luck! Except for the unsatisfactory effect of the Puppet Rage spell, which only requires 20 survival points to upgrade, the upgrade of Shadow Step and Water Elemental Spirit both require 50 survival points, which is the same level of amplification effect as the Undead Claw Boiling Blood spell!"
I don't know when I can have another spell similar to the Heart of Flesh and Blood. With such a powerful effect, even if it requires more survival points, he is willing.
Thinking of this, Wei En continued to add points, consuming survival points to upgrade these three spells to level 3.
Shadow Step (Death) Level 1 (1/50)... (50/50).
[Shadow Step (Death) Level 1 (50/50), do you want to upgrade? ]
[Upgrade. ]
[Congratulations, your skill: Shadow Step (Death) Level 1 is upgraded to Level 2. Effect: When the spell is activated, 10 toughness levels are consumed per second, the movement speed is increased by 20%, and the user can stay in the shelter of the kingdom of death for 15 seconds. ]
[……]
[Water Elemental Spirit (Death) Level 3 (5000/5000), do you want to upgrade? ]
[Upgrade. ]
[Congratulations, your skill: Water Elemental Spirit (Death) Level 3 is upgraded to Level 4. Effect: In the name of the death god Auranell, summon four water elemental spirits, whose attacks have death characteristics, and have 40% of the user's spirit level, toughness level and source power, and last for 4 minutes. ]
[Your wizard level meets the promotion conditions, do you want to upgrade? ]
[Yes. ]
[Congratulations, your profession: wizard, the level is upgraded to advanced wizard! Special rewards: Survival points +400, toughness level +100, spirit level +400. 】
"Finally, I'm a high-level wizard!"
Wayne upgraded the spell he had just branded to level 4 in one breath, and then chose to upgrade to a high-level wizard, which made him lose half of his just-acquired survival points, leaving only 13,500 points.
For the time being, this is the only way to upgrade. Except for the Heart of Flesh and Blood, the spells on the panel have been upgraded to level 4 and level 5. Too many survival points are required, so I can only accumulate some more survival points later.
However, the result is good, and I am one step closer to becoming a great wizard.
Thinking of this, Wayne took out another piece of parchment, used the Gonzales language, and chose to exchange the wizard's upgrade to a great wizard's notebook...
PS: Although this chapter has a lot of words, it is not considered an extra chapter, but it is a compensation for not adding an extra chapter yesterday, but I forgot to change the title, so don't worry about these details.
