Chapter 265 Why Does He Do That?
Ales Coulibaly...
Old Jack...
How did they know the Black Pearl's arrangement so quickly?
Wayne looked up at the time on the clock, eleven fifteen.
Only three and a half hours had passed since he contacted Marco...
According to the time calculation, Black Jack should have given the order to "Beautiful Hand" Flanda Canero not long ago.
To be more precise, it should be an hour to half an hour ago.
In such a short time, there are only two ways for Ales and his team to get this news.
One is on Alexei Island, that is, "Beautiful Hand". Some of them have been watching there and heard the instructions given to her by Black Jack at the first time.
The second is from Black Jack.
From the heart, Wayne is more inclined to the first situation.
That is, Ales's plan on Alexei Island has long included the link of "Beautiful Hand" Flanda Canero-kill her, replace her with Mitra, and then cooperate with their arrangements on the island.
But——
"It doesn't make sense... If that's the case, how did they know I would ask the Black Pearl for help?"
Wayne frowned and thought.
You know, before today, no, before the incident at the Colosseum last night, he had never thought of looking for Black Jack and the others.
Even going to the Colosseum was when he noticed the arrangement of Alexei Island.
So, they responded after the incident at the Colosseum last night?
If we follow this line of thought, they should have had other plans for Mitra at the beginning...
Otherwise, this matter doesn't make sense.
And if it is the second case, they got the news from Black Jack...
Wayne narrowed his eyes, his face flickering in the dim candlelight.
Then he took out the blood ear used to contact the Black Pearl from the space ring, and after thinking for a few seconds, he put the ear on the workbench.
"Wait!"
Wayne knew that he couldn't take the initiative to contact the Black Pearl, at least the timing was not right.
He contacted Alexei Island as soon as something happened... Too coincidental, too deliberate!
Wayne stared at the bloody ear, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the workbench.
Marco's words in the morning came to his mind. Black Jack, Youan and the others had just experienced a big battle, and Menor and Kloya arrived...
Menor, Black Jack, Youan, these three have had contact with Ales.
Remember when Menor was in Caster, he made it clear in his letter to Kloya that he had a close relationship with Ales.
Youan has always been a specially hired doctor of the Secret Investigation Department. Wayne doesn't believe that he has never had contact with Ales.
And Black Jack, his motive for appearing in Caster City-State that night was the "Forbidden Item 0-10 Homecoming" and Tina in the hands of Director Nifa.
Until now, Wayne didn't quite understand whether the other party went to Caster City-State because of the Glory Society or Ales...
But his intuition told him that there was also a connection between Black Jack and Ales!
In addition to figuring out where Ales got the news about the Black Pearl, there was another key that Wayne was very concerned about -
He knew very well that Ales was not so easy to deal with.
At the same time, Ales must know that he is not an ordinary wizard who can be slaughtered at will!
Especially the several taboos in his hands, the contract between him and Tina, and the things he has done recently in the Cordo Sea...
Wayne believes that Ales is so concerned about his situation that he must know this information.
Then, after knowing this, Ales dared to make arrangements in advance on Alexei Island and ambush him...
"What is he relying on!"
What are the ways to deal with Tina, the clown and Karel's whispers, and the ways to deal with him, a wizard with strength comparable to that of a great wizard?
Based on what Wayne knows about Ales's actions in the Caster City-State, the other party will not do anything without certainty.
And to figure this out, Wayne knows that he needs to solve two other things first.
One is what their initial arrangements for Mitra were.
The second is how they got Black Jack's clear order to "Beautiful Hands".
As long as these two things are figured out, he can follow this line and find out all of Ales' arrangements on Alexei Island!
"It seems that in addition to Mitra, the insider, I need to find some helpers..."
Buzz buzz buzz...
Just then, a layer of gray light flickered faintly on the black trophy on the workbench, interrupting Wayne's thoughts.
"Hmm?"
I didn't expect that the Black Pearl hadn't contacted yet, but there was news from the Ghost.
He pressed the gem, and a cold and emotionless voice came.
"The internal number of the Ghost School is 11346. Theresa Irina Silvera requests to establish a channel with you. Do you agree?"
"Agree."
Wayne looked at the communicator, and his red eyes flickered slightly.
He always felt that the voice responsible for the internal communicator transfer was not fake...
Perhaps, it was an old antique in the Ghost School?
Immediately afterwards, Theresa appeared on the virtual screen, still wearing the gold-framed glasses, and saluted with a smile on her face:
"Good afternoon, Director."
"Good afternoon," Wayne hummed, and asked, "Is there anything going on in the school?"
"No, no, director," Teresa said with a smile, "I'm ready for what you told me yesterday."
Wei En was startled, "Oh? So fast?"
The list he wrote before involved a lot of materials, and the Sal metal alone was a huge sum of money.
Is this the strength of the Silvera family in the Northern Continent?
I thought I would have to wait another two days, but I didn't expect it to be ready the next day.
"It's just a coincidence that the family is planning to build a city-state on Labrese Island on the south coast, and there happens to be a batch of materials for laying out the rune array, so..."
"It won't embarrass you, will it?"
"Of course not," Teresa stuck out her tongue, "I asked grandpa for help."
Wei En felt enlightened, and he understood that this was an expression of goodwill towards him from the Silvera family.
"Why did your family think of building a city-state on an island? Building a city-state should cost a lot of money, right?"
"I heard from grandpa that it has something to do with the ghosts." Teresa thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I heard that the school planned to stay there permanently, and then the family decided to build a city there."
"It shouldn't cost much, maybe tens of millions of pounds. I don't know the details."
Wayne: "..."
Ten million gold pounds can buy almost ten million maids.
From this point of view, you can imagine how terrifying the Silvera family is. No wonder Teresa, the heir, has two legendary level guards...
However, the Ghost School is stationed on the southern coast of the Northern Continent. Is it related to the Twilight Sect?
"Thank you grandpa for me."
Teresa laughed and said, "How can you two be the same?"
"oh?"
"When I asked grandpa for help, he also asked me to thank you."
Wayne smiled and said nothing more.
Although he didn't know those nobles well, he also knew that most of them were people who couldn't afford to do anything early.
Being able to support him and Institute No. 66 repeatedly is partly due to Teresa's status as heir, but also partly due to his potential as the director?
But to be polite.
If nothing else happens, the Silvera family will definitely not lose money on these investments!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Teresa quickly picked up a newspaper and waved it, "Director, take a look."
"What?"
Wei En came back to his senses and looked at the newspaper on the illusory screen. He saw clearly written on the front page - Ghost School Newspaper.
"Today's school newspaper mentioned our project research report, which was the largest in length." Teresa smiled naively: "Not only did it introduce the situation of our institute, but it also specifically explained your achievements and the progress related to the project research. , I will read it to you..."
"A few days ago, after the study and decision of Vice Chairman Boras G. McClure and the meeting of forty-four legendary wizards, the research topic and report on the mechanical undead at the 66th Institute of the Von Enriso Research Center was deemed "Legendary level."
"Before the report was issued, as many as a hundred legendary wizards from the school had redeemed the report, and nearly one-third of the heads of the institutes had decided to organize related research projects in the near future..."
At this point, Teresa's eyes sparkled, and she looked at the figure on the illusory screen and continued: "The last is your introduction. Only now do I know that you are not only good at research on the subject, but also so powerful. Strength."
"Strength?" Wei En raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"
"There are things you did in Custer, and a few things after going to sea..." Teresa pointed to the photos in the newspaper and asked: "Did you really use only one spell in the arena to make everyone People are silent?”
Arena……
Wei En's expression was slightly surprised. What happened last night was also published by the school?
It seems that there is also a lot of attention to me there.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the Ghost School wants to publish all the information about him, the director of the research institute?
Shouldn't it be normal to just talk about the project report and the status of the institute?
"So be it."
"You're so awesome!" Teresa looked excited, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "I heard that there were three pirates in that arena who were as powerful as the great wizard. How did you do that?"
"I believe you can do it in the future too."
"Me? I can't." Teresa chuckled: "The newspaper said that you have been promoted to the Grand Wizard. You are the fastest and youngest Grand Wizard in the history of ghosts."
"It's a pity that you are not in the Von Enrizo Mountains, otherwise they would definitely come to interview you."
Wei En was speechless and said with a smile, "That's not necessary."
I didn’t expect that the school would even publish such information.
what is this?
Create a god specifically for him?
Or do you want to use him to achieve a certain purpose?
Thinking like this, Wayne looked at Teresa on the illusory screen with rising gray fog, and asked: "Did you just say that other research institutes have also begun research on mechanical undead?"
He was not surprised that the legendary wizards could see the potential of the mechanical undead, but the development of a project was not that simple.
Especially when his research as the initiator and pioneer of the subject has not yet ended...
Could it be the instructions from the top of the Ghost School?
Do you think their research at Institute No. 66 is off track or progressing too slowly?
"Yes, yes," Teresa pouted with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face: "For this reason, I also specifically contacted Dean Josue. He told me that in addition to the Von Enriso Research Center, other research centers They have already begun research on the mechanical undead.”
"Not only that, there are also great wizards who are preparing to jointly protest against the senior leaders of the school, protesting that they have overestimated the value of the mechanical undead so that they cannot view it..."
"Is that so?"
Wei En vaguely understood the intention of the school.
This is not to create a god, but to use him as a target.
"Director, we have basically completed the preparations you mentioned. When will we start the next promotion experiment? There is also the research on rune boards..."
Teresa didn't know what he was thinking, and kept saying, "It would be terrible if people from other research centers get there first."
"Are you ready?"
"You can start at any time! Not only me, but Senior Escobar and the others also think so. Everyone wants to get involved in the research as soon as possible."
Wei En thought for a few seconds and said: "Put the fusion promotion experiment for a while and conduct research on rune cards first."
At this point, he paused, looked at Teresa, and continued in a serious tone: "You are not lacking in understanding of the subject of mechanical undead, but the foundation of the rune board is runes, which is related to subsequent research. direction."
"So, you guys will first conduct a miniature study of the rune array and find a rune array that is more suitable for the mechanical undead."
"Rune board..." Teresa's eyes lit up, "Director, do you want to wait until we are familiar with it before conducting follow-up research?"
"You still have up to half a month."
Wayne glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said casually.
This time is the bottom line he left for Alexi and others. If the other party does not show up within half a month or the Judgment Saint of Dawn Church arrives first, he will leave Alexei Island directly.
"Half a month? Director, please rest assured, I will urge everyone to do their best to research the rune board."
"Um."
Wei En nodded and then waved goodbye: "Send the materials as soon as possible. See you next time."
"I'll send it to you right away."
After disconnecting the black trophy contact, Wei En sat on the chair, waiting for Black Jack's reply and the materials Theresa had found, while focusing on Mitra outside.
Damn old Jack, bastard Alais, just let me pretend to be "Pretty Hands" without even disposing of her body?
I don’t know when the owner noticed me...
If the master doesn't notice, wouldn't he be tricked by them?
No, I have to find a way to notify the owner...
Sensing Mitra's complicated thoughts, Wayne's eyes fell on the blue and white box, his calm eyes unfocused.
Old Jack and the others didn't even have time to dispose of the body...
Does that mean that they asked Mitra to impersonate Flanda "Pretty Hands" as a temporary move?
Not sure yet... more information is needed.
However, one thing is certain.
That's Alexei Island. Besides old Jack and Mitra, there are others there.
The person who can kill "Beautiful Hand" is at least at the level of Kingdom Hand...
No, it is very likely to reach the legendary level!
Unless it's a spell like Howl of Fear, it's impossible to kill instantly, and it doesn't even attract the attention of other people there.
Legend... level?
Kaka...
At this time, the blood ears slowly expanded and contracted, making a sound similar to the sound of brittle bones.
"Hey...shashasha...Wei En, please answer if you hear me. I'm Marco, Wei En..."
"I am here."
Wei En came back to his senses and looked at the clock. It was 11:45, only half an hour had passed since "Pretty Hands" was replaced.
"It's good to be here," Marco's voice over there said in relief, "I'm sorry, I should have contacted you half an hour ago, but the boss happened to be called away because of something."
"Black Jack?" Wayne asked pretending to be unintentional: "Did something go wrong again?"
"No, I heard it was the Hammer Girl from the Black Pearl who was looking for him."
"Is it because of the Araniga's attack last night?"
In the bloody ears, Marco lowered his voice specially and said: "It should be. I heard Milus say that the Hammer Girl seems to be angry and is asking the boss to rush to Awad Island to prepare to gather several ships to deal with the Araniga. those people."
"Really? Then be careful..."
"I'm fine. The people on the ship are very powerful, and our team still has the [explosion sniper rifle] you provided. It's not too late for them to protect me."
Marco said with a smile: "By the way, I am contacting you this time to convey the boss's arrangements. He has already contacted the people on Alexei Island, and those people will cooperate with you."
"Thank you." Wei En said lightly.
He did not mention the explosion on Alexei Island, nor did he take the opportunity to ask about the sources of Alexei and others.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Marco, but that if those people were on the Bekli, he was worried that Marco would be in danger.
And if you want to know the answer, you don’t have to go through Marco.
"You're welcome, the boss also asked me to tell you that those [explosion sniper rifles] please hurry up, saying that our Black Pearl is about to go to war and we urgently need those weapons."
"Don't worry, I will provide it to you as soon as possible."
Wayne smiled and asked, "How are those people?"
"Who?" Marco reacted and lowered his voice a few points: "I have arranged for them to stay in the cabin. You said they have no ill intentions..."
"I mean they pose no threat to the Black Pearl, but you..." Wayne reminded: "Those people are a bit weird. If it is not necessary, try to have less contact with them. Just pretend they don't exist."
"Don't worry, I know. I won't tell you for now. I saw the boss coming out and there should be arrangements for the next step."
"Wait!"
Wayne then thought of something and hurriedly stopped, "Is Menor still on the ship?"
"Yes, huh? Are you looking for him?" Marco asked in a puzzled tone.
"It's good that he is. If you have a chance, tell him for me that the Ghost School has taken action in the northern continent and let him contact me when he has time."
"That's all?"
Wayne confirmed: "That's all!"
"I'll remember it. Goodbye."
Seeing the blood ear slowly shrink, Wayne put him in the box.
Then, he took out the space ring from the blue and white box and checked it. He saw that several rings were full of materials for setting up rune arrays, so he took out a piece of parchment and started writing.
No matter what Alais relied on, he had to be prepared for more countermeasures...
