Chapter 415 Return to Caster City-State (New Book Announcement)

(Brothers, I have opened a new book under a trumpet account - Gou Zai Wei Da Wei adds some immortality. The link is at the end of the chapter. Thank you for your support.)

The city-state of Custer is quiet and peaceful at night.

Within the high walls, rows of red spire houses are in order, and the flat stone roads are clean and tidy.

On both sides of the road, the thousand-leaf grass grown in earthen pots shimmered with fluorescent light, and the faint smell of the sea in the past had disappeared.

The red moon shines brightly, echoing the blue-domed cathedral of the Church of Storms, reflecting the colorful and bright city of Castor.

In the fortress with four high walls, hundreds of city-state guardian knights, protected by the statue of Lady Storm, guard the city-state.

Golden Avenue, Dumitru Block, Basil Block, Natoli Block, Laos Block, etc. are patrolled by Church of the Storm priests wearing blue armor.

Not only that, but occasionally when the roars of some mutants are heard, extraordinary beings who clearly look like the battle department of the Secret Adjustment Department will quickly rush to deal with it.

Compared to the past when the Church of Dawn was here, the entire Custer city-state was much better in terms of order, environment, and the level of commitment of the extraordinary individuals.

At this time, on the high wall east of Custer City, the statue of Lady Storm faced outside the city, and a faint blue light appeared, protecting the bunker next to it.

In the bunker, five armored knights sat in groups of two, facing east and west, while the remaining squad leader sat behind them, fiddling with the bonfire.

There was a bottle of beer on the small table next to him, with only half of the wine left in the bottle.

"I didn't expect that when the God's Festival Day is approaching, something like that would happen in the deep sea."

"Hey, Custer City State is really in trouble this year."

The squad leader sighed while warming himself by the fire and drinking beer.

"Captain Adilheid, do you think this deep sea change will really affect our Custer City State?"

"You still need to ask? Didn't you listen to what Bishop Jahmos Abad said in the afternoon? Now even the Church of Storms has started to take precautions, and our place will definitely be affected."

The two guarding knights spoke intently.

"Yes, I also think it will affect us, Custer City, the pearl of the west coast, I hope everything is safe..."

Hearing this, Adilheid glanced at it and said with a smile:

"I'm worried. I believe that the bishops and clergy of the Church of Storms will definitely find ways to protect this pearl."

"Don't forget, everyone in the city-state's parliament and committee of nobles are still there, not one of them has left."

"If it were in the past, after such news broke out, those nobles would probably flee inland as soon as possible. The city-state of Klande, or further away, take refuge in the city-state near the Dawn Sanctuary."

The guard knights felt the same way.

"Adilheide is right. The current city-state of Custer has changed a lot compared to before. To be honest, I have to thank Alais and that guy..."

"You want to say 'disaster wizard', right?"

"Well, you know, his current strength is no longer something we can discuss at will."

"What are you afraid of? He is far away on Alexei Island. He is probably busy hunting down the Twilight Sect members with the expedition wizards, so he won't hear it."

"I told you that you wouldn't understand. He was really inconspicuous in Custer City State at that time. I even met him once."

"oh?"

Even Adilheide turned to look at him and asked, "Have you seen the 'Disaster Wizard'?"

"Yes,"

The guarding knight was thin, but with a straight waist and bright eyes wrapped in a metal mask. He recalled:

"At that time, I had just entered the city-state from Mago Village not far over there. As you know, people like us can only stay in places like the Laos neighborhood."

"Fortunately, people from my hometown helped me get a carriage."

"So you were a driver before?" It was also the first time for the other knights to hear him talk about this.

"So you met the 'Disaster Wizard' at that time?" Adilheide asked.

"Yes, Captain."

The guard knight who spoke was the driver of the carriage that Wei En met several times.

"He is really not as evil as the rumors say. He is not scary at all. Instead, he is very kind."

"Although he looks younger, he is very calm."

"I remember that with him was the little lady from the secret blending department, her name is Tina..."

"I can feel the difference between him and others after several meetings."

The knight smiled: "It's that kind of equal treatment. I won't be looked down upon or looked down upon because of my Vazquez identity."

"In short, because of his encouragement and the reminder he gave me before the accident, I survived with my family."

"You all know what happens next."

"I successfully joined the city-state guard army..."

The other guards said with envy:

"You boy is so lucky."

"You are indeed lucky. Regardless of whether the 'Disaster Wizard' is good or bad, he is now a big figure who can influence the deep sea."

"It would be great if I could see him..."

…

What these guarding knights didn't know was that just above their heads on the wall, Wei En was standing there silently looking at the cathedral in the distance.

"Destiny is really unpredictable..."

He heard the conversation of the knights below, but he didn't expect to meet anyone who had come into contact with him.

That carriage driver... In my impression, he was a very low-key and honest young man.

Wearing a cheap dress and white gloves, he chose his words carefully when he spoke, and his actions were a little reserved.

But he is not as decadent as those in the Laos neighborhood, nor does he complain about the difficulty of life. Instead, he is sunny and positive...

Because of this, Wei En reminded him a few words before the incident happened that night.

"This feeling...is really good..."

After murmuring a few words, Wei En did not disturb the knights' work, but quietly left a few gold pounds in the knight's pocket, and then walked to the Secret Adjustment Department.

He came at the right time. Lacey and others were still gathering in the Secret Adjustment Department for a meeting to discuss something.

"...Damn it, the information obtained from the Church of Storms shows that 70% of the changes in the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' will affect the city of Custer."

"The city-state has just restored order, and when everything is developing in a good direction, something like this happened..."

Nifa looked solemnly, looked at the senior officials of the Secret Adjustment Department present, and said, "The situation is becoming more and more urgent now. Do you have any suggestions?"

Yegor leaned lazily on the high-backed chair, but the cigar in his mouth was not lit. "It's really unfortunate. It hasn't been long since we settled down."

"Deputy Director Yegor, please don't say such irresponsible words!" Lacey glared at him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yegor shrugged his shoulders and sat up slightly.

"Director Nifa,"

Lacey was too lazy to talk about him. She also knew that Yegor's character was like this. She turned to look at Nifa who was looking up:

"I think the most important thing now is to figure out what impact the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' will have on our city-state of Custer."

"Is it an attack from the deep sea, the spread of the 'forbidden sea area', or is it a terrifying storm like that in the deep sea?"

"If we can understand this clearly, we can apply for corresponding support from the Klanders..."

"This is unrealistic!" Deputy Director Albert, who was promoted from the director of the War Department, interrupted:

"Lacey, I believe you also know the situation in the Kingdom of Chartland."

"The senior management is currently developing the territory of the former Kingdom of Vazquez. They have just invested a lot of human and financial resources there, and the support they can give us is very limited."

"Coupled with the previous incident of Count Ernst, although those nobles did not say anything, it is not difficult to see from the subsequent financial allocation that they intend to retaliate."

"If we don't fight for it now, what will happen to the 200,000 people in the city-state? We can't move them all to the inland city-state, right?" Lacey argued.

"Yes!" Albert looked serious: "My suggestion is to move as many people as possible before the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' breaks out to minimize losses!"

"But……"

"alright,"

Nifa raised his hand to signal them to stop, and said with a headache: "You two, now is not the time to argue. The key is how to help the city of Custer survive this crisis!"

She looked at the people present and saw that they were all silent, so she had no choice but to continue following the previous discussion:

"First of all, Lacey, Albert is right. The support given to us by Klanders is very limited."

"You can't just consider Custer, don't forget that there are six city-states on the west coast of the Kingdom of Chartland!"

"Secondly, if we want to detect the intelligence of the influence of 'Deep Sea', it will be very difficult for us to rely on our own strength alone."

"Now the only people we can rely on are those in the Church of Storms. Even the Noble Committee is still waiting and watching."

"Last and most important point, no matter what kind of crisis, I don't think extraordinary people like City State can resist it."

Seeing Lacey looking like he was about to speak, Nifa took the lead and said, "This is not a fundamental problem that can be solved by asking for help!"

"In the entire Castor city-state, only Archbishop Ahmose in the church has the ability to protect himself. The rest of the people, including us, who can say that they will survive those horrific crises?"

As soon as these words came out, Lacey couldn't help but fall silent.

She understood that what Director Nifa and Deputy Director Albert said were true.

But she was really unwilling to accept that the order, peace and development that Custer City State had finally achieved were destroyed by such a disaster!

"After all, it's still not strong enough."

Yegor lit his cigar as if no one was around, blew out a smoke ring, and said casually:

"If Custer City State had a wizard as powerful as Wizard Wynn, we wouldn't have to worry so much now."

As he spoke, he looked at Lacey.

The other senior executives of the Secret Adjustment Department present also followed his gaze and looked at Lacey.

That look speaks for itself.

Lacey's heart moved, Wayne?

She, she can go to Wei En for help... No, no, Wei En must have more important things to do now!

Thinking of this, Lacey shook his head: "Sorry, I think Custer's problem has to be solved by ourselves."

"Then there's only one way left to go."

Yegor spread his hands and said: "Besides giving up resistance and transferring the residents of the city-state, I can't think of any other way."

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone looked heavy and worried.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"excuse me."

"Um?"

"who is it?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and saw a young man wearing black wizard robes, with a black fire mark printed on his chest, black hair and red eyes, standing in the door.

"Wayne?!" Yegor was stunned.

He had just mentioned this wizard who walked out of the Caster City-State, and now he appeared in front of him?

"Wayne?"

Some investigators who didn't know him looked at each other, and after confirming that the person in front of them was the "disaster wizard" Wayne Loft, they couldn't help but hold their breath and quiet down.

Even Nifa and Albert shut up obediently.

Although they had seen Wayne, they had no communication with each other.

Especially Nifa, when Ales returned to the Caster City-State before, she also gave him the "Forbidden Item 0-91 Homecoming Figurehead" in her hand...

"Wayne..."

Lacey couldn't help rubbing her eyes. After confirming that it was Wayne, she suddenly stood up and jumped over, hooked her arms around his neck, and pulled him into her arms.

Just like the first time they met, she rubbed Wayne's hair and laughed:

"It's you. You didn't tell me you were coming back so I could make some preparations..."

Wayne froze for a moment, then relaxed, thinking that Captain Lacey hadn't changed at all, still that carefree person.

But, could you please stop shaking? I feel dizzy...

"I came back for something urgent."

"Did you just get here? Hahaha..."

Everyone: "..."

Looking at the two people fighting, they felt that their image of the legendary horrible wizard who caused the disaster had collapsed.

If they hadn't confirmed Wayne's identity, they would have thought that this was Lacey's brother coming to visit...

After a while, Wayne was rescued by Nifa.

He straightened his messy hair and said, "Sorry, everyone, I suddenly barged in. Did I not affect the progress of your meeting?"

"Of course not," Nifa said with a serious face and a little respect in his eyes, "It is our honor that Wizard Wayne can visit the Secret Adjustment Department of Caster City."

"Yes Wayne, just treat it as returning to your own home. I um... We all welcome you very much." Lacey slightly considered the expressions of others.

Yegor and others all had an approving expression and smiled without saying anything.

"That's good."

Wayne sat at the bottom and smiled, "I just overheard you discussing the "Deep Sea Doomsday". Is there anything I can help you with?"

In fact, he almost heard the general idea.

Including Yegor's hope to find him for help, Albert and Lacey's argument, etc.

And at this time, he took the initiative to ask, hoping to provide some help within a limited scope.

After all, although the "Deep Sea Doomsday" has a wide range, its impact on the East Continent is only a super storm tsunami.

Such a crisis may be a disaster for ordinary people, but for the extraordinary people with extraordinary powers, there is still a solution.

"You, are you willing to help?" Director Nifa's tone was more respectful, and he added honorifics unconsciously, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a joyful voice from the side:

"That's great, Wei En, I was embarrassed to bring it up before..."
