Chapter 297 Island Owner
The patter of rain pounded in front of the window sill, making a crisp sound.
Alexey Island does not look gloomy under the clouds.
On the contrary, when those houses with red roofs and white walls are connected together, they are like beautiful paintings depicting the appearance of a peaceful city-state.
The pirates in jackets and the nobles who were gradually regaining their energy were neatly dressed, and there was a rare lack of chaos and noise.
From time to time, umbrellas are held up, and pirates with hearty laughter run freely on the bluestone road.
Wei En stood by the window, quietly watching such a peaceful and peaceful scene.
With his current strength, even without using his senses, he could clearly see the appearance of people entering and exiting under the high wall.
And if the mental perception is diffused, it will not have the same temperature and color as seen with the naked eye, and there will only be cold picture feedback.
From this, he couldn't help but think that it turns out that the flesh and blood body is emotional, while spiritual consciousness is only rational.
"It wouldn't be bad if the world had always been like this." Wei En murmured to himself.
The rainy night in the city of Custer came to mind.
It was a rainy night when it was raining heavily and the clouds were gathering, but the red moon was still high.
The messy sound of raindrops was like drum beats, beating out an unsounding sonata, but what followed was - the deep sea monster Rasim!
"It's really a monster that disfigures the scenery..."
That terrifying monster will burn your eyes even if you just look directly at it. Even the "epidemic doctor" Youan cannot cure the pain and erosion of its origin.
All I can say is that this world is too weird.
The peace and tranquility that people want exists only in fantasy.
But surprise is always the main theme.
Wei En sighed softly. He encountered many accidents, and I believe he will face more in the future...
"call……"
"suck……"
The slight Gonzalez language is a short representative modal particle, and the ghost seems to read his mind and hovers around his head a few times.
As a descendant of his original body, the meditation during his breathing at this moment is constantly enhancing Wei En's mental power and physical strength.
The soul-devouring rune brand between the eyebrows also shines faintly. Looking at the progress of the light, there is still 19/20 to complete the source fusion...
Wei En glanced back, thinking of the content of the previous panel prompts, and said calmly: "After integrating the soul-devouring spell, the next one is the corpse explosion!"
"Understood, Baba!" The ghost grinned and nodded playfully.
"What about me?"
Drivers are always the most enthusiastic about competing for favor.
Because of Brand's mechanical puppet system, he didn't encounter many battles, so when he could talk to Wei En, he never missed it.
"cornerstone."
"good!"
"What about us?"
Chi Gui and the Secret Master looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"Quick Shadow Step, spiritual shield."
Wayne made arrangements one by one.
Except for the first four spell rune imprints, he will give priority to integrating the most suitable spells with the rest.
The reason why I chose Shadow Step instead of Boiling Blood...
Wei En didn't know either, but he had an intuition that Shadow Step would be more helpful to him in the future.
Although in that kingdom of death, he has always been a bystander.
But after all, it was a country opened by an ancient god when he ascended to the throne. If you think about it carefully, it is much larger than the ten-second limit of a real man brought by boiling blood.
Dang, Dang Dang...
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Master~"
oh?
Wei En looked in the direction of the door, his mental perception reflecting the people outside. He was a little surprised that Mitra did not come alone this time.
Old Jack and Ubley were accompanied by him.
"Come in."
"Good afternoon, Master."
Mitra walked in with a smile on her face, and did not choose to hide it because her relationship with Wei En was exposed. There was even a bit of pride in her tone, as if she was showing off her sovereignty.
"Good afternoon, Wizard Wayne." Ubli raised his hand in greeting, and glanced to the side from time to time, where he saw a smooth pink back, which was very dazzling.
Old Jack just nodded lightly: "Good afternoon."
Wei En looked at the three of them one by one, leaned back on the chair, crossed his hands, and asked calmly: "You three are together, do you have anything to say?"
"I just received a piece of news. I think it is necessary to report it to you." Mitra looked around and spoke first.
"whats the matter?"
"Black Jack's place has just contacted us again."
Blackjack?
Wayne looked at her calmly and said, "Go on."
"He asked me to inform you that many people on the Black Pearl have been asking about the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] in the past two days. If anyone finds you, please don't expose yourself."
"Um?"
Wayne frowned, "Isn't he the first mate of the Black Pearl?"
Why bother to remind me?
Somewhat weird...
"That's what I asked too," Mitra nodded repeatedly and continued, "He said that after investigation, among the pirates who came to question him, intelligence officers installed by the Araniga were found."
"That's why I came to inform you..."
"oh."
Wei En was convinced that the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] might have been exposed during the last encounter between the Bekli and Araniga.
It’s just that Mitra was specifically asked to remind...
"What else did he say?"
"I can't hide it from the master," Mitra said with admiration and excitement on his face, "He told me to propose a deal to you in the name of the Black Pearl."
"About the [Explosive Sniper Rifle]?"
"Yes."
Wayne smiled. Just when he was about to build Alexei Island, someone sent money to him, "Tell me, how many does he want this time?"
"One thousand."
"More, how many?!" Wayne sat up straight suddenly, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"Master, it's one thousand [Explosive Sniper Rifles]!" Mitra nodded with certainty.
"Do you know how many gold pounds a [Explosive Sniper Rifle] is?"
"Ten thousand gold pounds."
Wayne raised his eyebrows. Are you serious?
Since Mitra knows the specific number, it means that Black Jack does have this plan.
But, does he, the Black Pearl, have so many gold pounds?
Maybe...
With four continents, even if the Western Continent is excluded, there are still nobles from three continents who have to pay protection fees to the Black Pearl...
"How to pay the deposit?"
"No deposit."
Wayne frowned, but did not speak, waiting for her explanation.
"Black Jack said," Mitra stopped keeping the secret and said, "Ask you if you are willing to take over Alexei Island. The Black Pearl has discussed and decided to use this island as a deposit for the [Explosive Sniper Rifle]."
Alexei Island?
Wayne opened his mouth. He just planned to use this island as a temporary base, and Black Jack proposed such a deal?
Is it such a coincidence?
"Very surprised, right, master?" Mitra smiled and said excitedly: "As long as you agree, the entire Alexei Island is yours. Aren't you planning to stay here temporarily?"
"Yes, very surprised." Wayne rubbed his eyebrows.
Surprise is a surprise...
But since he had the idea of occupying Alexei Island, he never thought about paying the Black Pearl.
With his strength and the identity of the captain of the Leonard, it is of course more cost-effective to rob openly.
"Wizard Wayne, you don't seem to think so?" Ubley asked puzzledly when he saw his expression.
"No, it's a pretty good deal, and it's just a deposit."
Wayne shook his head. The deposit is the deposit. With the cost of [Explosive Sniper Rifle], one thousand sniper rifles can only buy one-fifth of the trading area at most.
"Did he tell you when the remaining gold pounds will arrive?"
"This..." Mitra was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to ask, I just got the news and came to report to you."
Wayne: "..."
He looked at Mitra for a long time, until she turned pale, and then turned to Old Jack and Ubley and said: "Be prepared and speed up the construction progress in the city-state. It seems that this will be our base for a long time in the future."
"Okay." Old Jack said concisely.
"Then can I go back and pick up my family?" Ubley asked with his eyes bright.
"Family?"
Wayne shook his head, "For safety reasons, let's not do it."
Since Black Jack specifically reminded him about the [Explosive Sniper Rifle], the Aranega will sooner or later know that it was provided by him.
Add to that the Church of Dawn, the Dusk Sect, and other possible dangers...
Alexei Island will definitely not be safe in the future!
"Oh." Ubley was a little disappointed.
"Then master, can I reply to Black Jack now?"
Wayne thought for a few seconds and nodded: "Reply, tell him that I agree. But there are too many [Explosive Sniper Rifles], so it will take longer."
The 50 [Explosive Sniper Rifles] traded last time have not yet started production, and now there are another 1,000...
Marco, it seems that the bullet production drawings can help you a lot...
"Also, tell him again not to announce the content of the transaction for the time being."
"Hmm?" Mitra was stunned, "Master, don't you want people to know that you are in control of this place?"
"Not yet." Wayne didn't explain much, waved his hand and said: "Go and get busy, this island will be busy for you in the future."
"Yes!"
Mitra bowed, and the two dazzling pendant bells fell naturally, revealing two bright dials, as if they were left blank for the people in front of them.
Ubly and Old Jack also saluted, and turned to leave with her.
When everything was quiet, Wayne's mouth curled slightly.
What he feared was not his identity as the owner of Alexei Island, but he did not want to be exposed before he was fully prepared.
The rune array on this island was not well arranged and could not provide him with more help.
The island's defense could not even withstand a legendary attack, and there was not much sense of security.
Such an island was not an ideal place in Wei En's mind.
Thinking of this, Wei En turned the golden key and returned to the theater space.
What he didn't know was that at this time, in the store area not far away, three old guys who were so old that they were terrifying had noticed his departure.
"The little guy hid again."
"It seems that your business will have to wait, Velosa."
"The research report hasn't come yet, has it?"
...
...
Wei En returned to the studio, took out two knight novels and a common sense booklet about each continent from the space ring, and pushed the door out.
"Tina, Miss Pavla, sister..."
"Ti, Sister Shava..."
"Sha, Shava..."
At the dining table, the little white-haired girl had grown up a little, and her face had become more colorful. She was learning daily language with Pavla and Miss Zombie.
She had not forgotten the content of Gonzales language, and even her learning progress was much faster after she had emotional reactions.
But her speaking habits were still the same as before.
So, after getting Tina's consent, Wayne arranged for Sharapova and Pavla to teach her.
"Wai, Wayne."
The little white-haired girl noticed Wayne's arrival at the first time, and instantly appeared in his arms, with her hands hanging around his neck, and even the two little bear dolls and clown dolls that never left her hands were thrown under the dining table.
"Great progress." Wayne smiled, and came to the dining table with Tina in his arms and sat down. He put the things in his hands on the table and said, "I brought you a new book, which should be able to help you."
"Well, Tina, I like it." The little white-haired girl looked at the book with a simple map on the cover and said with a smile.
Her eyes were no longer empty, but bright black, shining like two black gems, reflecting Wayne's appearance.
Even if she was looking at other places, her eyes were still filled with Wayne.
"Is there something for me too?"
Pavla, who was standing next to her, watched the two people's actions, secretly thinking that the evil wizard could also be so tender, and then she saw the knight novel on the table and said happily: "Is this for me? Right, right?"
"Of course, except for you, no one here will be attracted by the fantasy world."
Pavla: "..."
I always feel that this is not a good thing to say.
But forget it.
With novels to read, her life here is not bad.
Only Shara looked at Wayne expressionlessly, as if to say, what about mine?
Gift!
Wayne looked at her and said dumbly: "Shava, I'll give you... um, I've prepared the origin core of the undead creature..."
"Give it to me!" Miss Zombie's tone was still cold.
"Later, later, I just happen to have something for you and Zero to do together..."
Wayne would not tell her that he had not had time to exchange it with the ghost.
Thinking of this, he quickly looked at Pavla and asked, "How are the guards?"
"Guards?"
Pavla replied while flipping through the newly acquired novel, "Very good."
"I'm asking about their strength."
"Not bad...just very strange."
Seeing him ask this, Pavla put down the novel a little and asked suspiciously, "Did Claire teach them any breathing method before?"
"Claire?" Wayne was startled and recalled, "She seemed to have mentioned that it was a unique way for the Eternal Life Society to improve strength. What's wrong?"
"No, I always feel that their origin is a bit strange."
Origin...
Wayne asked seriously, "Tell me in detail."
"Unlike any origin characteristics I know, it is very corrosive." Pavla bit her finger, and the feedback of the power of authority emerged in her mind. She said in a strange tone, "I can feel that 'goodness' is warning me and wants me to destroy them!"
"Destroy..."
Wayne frowned secretly. Even the powerful power of the "goodness" authority of the Dawn Church issued a warning.
No way...
Could it be that what Claire taught them was not the so-called Immortal Breathing Method, but her secret identity? !
The ancient heritage of Lady of the Night? !
