Chapter 275 Promotion!

Wayne stared at the contents on the letter, and his heart could not help but return to the city-state that brought him happiness and pain.

The initial hesitation and struggle, the peace of mind after arriving at the Secret Adjustment Department, and everything that happened afterwards.

He knew he had done something wrong, but if he were allowed to choose again...

He would still do it!

Oh...

A slight sigh echoed in the claustrophobic office.

Several neatly trimmed quills were swaying in the sea breeze blowing in from the open window.

Wayne reached out and took out one of the quills, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the yellowed paper that was spread out -

"Minister Lacey..."

After a while, he finished writing the signature spelled out in Aldous.

After thinking about it, he added the name of Little White Hair.

This was just a simple letter of greeting from a friend, of course including Tina.

If Little White Hair had not signed a partner contract with him after joining the Secret Adjustment Department...

Contract?

Wayne's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It seemed that he had never thought about why Tina signed a contract with him when they first met.

And she decisively broke off the contract with Marco...

Wayne recalled the scene at that time -

Tina likes you, can we be friends?

Of course.

Tina is happy, happy...

After that, he only knew what Lacey and Marco said: If she didn't sign the contract, Tina's body would become very fragile.

If there was no contract person for a long time, she would even have a terrible deformation...

But it seemed that - he had never thought about why Tina chose to sign a contract with him!

"The reason is that I like you..."

If it was when he just came to this world, Wayne might still think that it was a very simple "like".

However, when he looked back and thought carefully, he would find that there might be a deeper secret.

Tina Klosterman is the container of the disaster lady Tina Lilith Leonard.

According to the devil clown Arnold, Little White Hair is one of the candidates designated by his sister.

The proof is the mark on her forehead, and of course, it also includes himself and Ales Coulibaly.

If we start from this angle...

Wayne wondered, does he have some potential to attract the source of disaster?

"Tsk!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that many details in the past might have some things he didn't notice.

Now, in addition to the fraud talent, the panel, the meditation method and the weird thing in the origin world, he found the fifth suspicious place.

Really...

Wayne stood up and stood at the window with a cold face, his eyes fell on the night sky.

The candlelight of the dawn candles on the wall suddenly went out.

The light of the red moon quietly projected in and shone on him.

[You are exposed to the red moon, because your origin power exceeds 100, you are exempt from the red moon pollution. Special reward: survival points +50, origin -1 (temporary), spirit level +1. ]

[...]

[You are exposed to the red moon, because your origin power exceeds 800, you are exempt from the red moon pollution. Evaluation: ? ? ? Special reward: Survival points +50, origin -10 (temporary). 】

The elongated shadow was projected on the wall of the office, and it seemed as if there were seventeen heads in the shadows...

The next second, Wayne's figure disappeared.

But if someone looked into the office from the window, they could still see the figure of "Honatan".

But his face was no longer thoughtful, worried, or afraid...

Returning to the theater space, Wayne looked at the quiet theater.

Tina and the others had returned to their respective rooms, leaving only two pieces of cheese and grilled fish on the dining table.

He walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down, and ate slowly.

"Hehehe..."

At this time, the clown who had not been seen for a few days appeared, sat next to him with a smile, picked up the grilled fish on the plate and looked at it, showing a disgusted expression.

"If the chef at home grilled the fish like this, I think he wouldn't live to see the next day."

Wayne didn't look up, and said lightly: "It's a pity that you are no longer the second prince of the Leonard family who founded the Turing Empire."

"You know?" The clown's expression was funny and weird. He looked up and down at Wayne, rubbing his chin with his white-gloved hands:

"You seem to be a little different... Did something happen in the past two days?"

"What did you think when you first saw her?"

"You want to know?" The clown didn't answer, and asked with interest: "Then tell me first, did something inexplicable happen to you?"

Wayne looked at him calmly, lowered his head and continued to eat dinner, as if he didn't really want to get an answer.

"Okay, okay... I was taken to Caster not long ago, and I lost control."

"When I regained consciousness, I saw the little girl."

"She looked at me, I looked at her, and as I looked at her, I became a doll."

"So you weren't a doll before?" Wayne asked.

"Of course not," the clown spread his hands, wrinkling his huge red nose: "That's when you put me on!"

Put on...

A clown mask?

So at that time, Tina only changed the clown's form, not his cognition.

Or, the little white-haired girl just changed the devil clown into what she wanted to see...

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's time for me to advance."

Wei En finished a few bites and wiped his mouth, "Don't disturb me tonight, okay?"

Thinking of this, it's not that he doubted Tina.

But he was worried that there were other secrets hidden in Xiao Baimao.

For example, the way Alex made her lose control last time, and whether the other party will make the same arrangement on Alexei Island this time...

But it seems a pity that the clown doesn't know what is hidden in Tina.

"Promoted to the Great Wizard? It will be very soon..."

The clown pouted, his speed was almost catching up with his original speed.

Oh, not himself, but his good brother, Byrne Lilith Leonard, who was considered the Son of the Sun.

A smile appeared on Wei En's face, which was inexplicable, but yet familiar and clean.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Arnold."

"Go away...hehehehehehe..."

The clown turned around and turned into a doll again, swaying his body like a dance and returned to the rest area.

Looking at his back, Wayne's smile faded a bit and he walked towards the studio.

After taking a look at the attributes and remaining survival points on the panel, I didn’t hesitate anymore——

[You have met the conditions for promotion to the Grand Wizard. Do you want to advance? 】

【yes! 】

Following the confirmation, Wei En's body was shaken.

A powerful source of power burst out from the source core world behind the panel.

To be precise, the panel directly extracted the original power inside!

At the same time, he could also feel the strange behavior of the original sub-bodies such as ghosts, which began to expand as if they had been injected with original power.

The brand marks of spell runes on their foreheads rotated rapidly and gradually emitted light.

No, that's not right...

Instead of gradually flickering, his eyes grew heavier.

Faintly, the weird murmuring sound reappeared.

"Apu, Ruixi..."

I remember that the last time was because of the aberration power, as well as the upgraded meditation method and various spells. This time...

…

…

I don’t know how long it took.

"Brother Wei En, Wei En..."

In a daze, Wei En heard a girl's voice.

He opened his eyes and looked. In the same room, two wall lamps on the left and right illuminate.

Wei En looked at the source of the sound, sister?

He saw the girl named Estelle Loft whom he met last time when he was promoted to an official wizard, looking at him with a worried look.

"you……"

Just as he opened his mouth, Wei En suddenly stopped and looked confused.

Why is his voice hoarse and tired?

"What's wrong with me?"

"Don't you remember?" The girl named Estelle had tears in her eyes, "You tried to escape, but you were beaten by your father, beaten..."

escape?

beat?

Wei En was about to get up, but his whole body was in pain like needles.

He endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and sat up, looking at himself.

Layers of white gauze with blood in it wrapped around his body, and there were bruises and bruises on his arms, which were red, swollen and stained with blood.

The legs were also wrapped with gauze, but where... was it broken?

There was a flash of doubt in Wayne's eyes. Did this really happen, or was it just a dream?

"Why should I run away?"

Estil pursed her lips and said with a faint cry: "You want to take the wizard talent test, but your father and mother don't agree, so..."

wizard……

"What time is it now? Date?"

"June 11, 1577 in the New Calendar!" The girl was stunned for a moment and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Brother, my father was too harsh. Do you want me to ask my mother..."

"No."

Wei En leaned hard on the soft pillow and looked at the girl in front of him.

There were some differences from last time's dress and makeup, but it was just a change of clothes that were obviously aristocratic.

Wearing a white and red plaid skirt, her hair was tied into several braids on the back of her head, with slightly curly bangs on her forehead.

Her face is not pretty, perhaps because it has not grown long, but it looks very delicate and small.

The eyes are big, with the same red pupils as his.

The lips are slightly thick and covered with a layer of bright red lip gloss.

Just like those ladies from aristocratic families, the etiquette she received since childhood gave her an aristocratic temperament.

"You, what happened to me?"

"No, did my father do it himself?"

"Well," Estelle nodded hesitantly, "This time he was really angry with you. Not only did he beat you, but he also implicated his mother..."

"Mother? She was beaten too?"

"No, no, it was just that her father dissolved her after he got angry with her."

Dissolve?

Wei En's pupils shrank slightly, was that what he understood?

"she……"

"She's fine, mother is fine," Estelle wiped her eyes again and said worriedly: "But father won't let her change to another body, saying he wants to punish her for indulging in you..."

Another strange sentence...

Wayne thought.

It seems that the family where the predecessor belonged to has many secrets.

A father with a bad temper, a mother with a body-changeable character who should be mild-mannered but weird, and in front of her...

Wayne thought for a few seconds and recalled the last scene.

I remember that at that time, the girl told him that her predecessor failed to awaken the family bloodline and was punished by her father.

And this time...

"What are the characteristics of the family's extraordinary bloodline?"

"You, you don't even remember this, brother."

"Father was too harsh this time, can you tell me?"

Estel was even more worried, and said without hesitation: "It's the gift of the God of Fraud."

Fraud?

Wayne was stunned, "What did you say?"

"It's the eye of fraud, you..." Estel's face was a little angry, and she snorted: "So brother remembers it."

"Tell me in detail!"

Wayne's face was a little ugly, and he asked seriously: "What is the gift of the God of Fraud you just mentioned?"

"It's the God of Fraud, but father usually claims to the outside world that it is a trick of 'weak and pitiful magicians'."

Estel seemed to be frightened by his tone, and said timidly: "I think he is right, it has no effect at all."

"Last time I wanted to cheat Miss Erza's cake, she didn't give it to me..."

"Is that so?" Wayne's eyes flickered slightly.

It turns out that the origin of the talent for fraud is the extraordinary bloodline of the family of the predecessor, or the so-called "gift of the God of Fraud".

However, there is nothing related to it in the memory of the predecessor.

And there is also the prompt information given on the panel when the fraud talent awakened before - the unknown origin power erodes, and your talent ability is distorted.

Unknown origin, fraud pupil...

Perhaps, this is the reason why he awakened the fraud talent.

It seems that if he wants to figure it out, he must return to the Loft family.

However, he asked some questions here first.

"Since I can't awaken the family bloodline, why doesn't my father agree to let me become a wizard?"

Estelle hesitated and said, "I don't know why, but I heard him say something like foreign bastards after punishing you."

"I don't understand..."

Foreign bastards?

Does it refer to wizards?

Is it because the predecessor applied for the ghost school that does not belong to the East Continent, so he was scolded?

Or does it refer to all wizards?

If it is the former, it is just a super noble's disapproval of wizards.

But if it is the latter, then...

Wayne frowned, and then he heard Estel say:

"Brother, I actually know what you are thinking, you will run away."

"Can you please not forget me?"

"You..."

Wayne was about to continue asking, when he saw the space around him shaking violently.

The girl seemed to have noticed this, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Wei En, if you leave the family, don't forget me!"

"I must remember!"

Those five words, like a command, made the dream world collapse.

Wayne looked at everything that happened around him, and his bright eyes revealed a cunning smile.

As if he had expected this.

The next second, he fainted again...

[Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the Great Wizard. Evaluation: Finally no longer a weak chicken, look like a bit. Special rewards: survival points +1000, origin +50, spirit level +800, toughness level +400. ]

[Due to the level increase, the meditation speed of your ghost meditation method has doubled again. You gain...]

[Your original power can now...]

PS: It took me a bit of effort to write today, so that's all for now.

However, this also fills a hole I buried before, and the follow-up will be smoother.
