Chapter 416 Research on Black Shadow

"That's great, Wayne, I was too embarrassed to bring it up before..."

Although Lacey was worried about disturbing Wei En, after all, Alexei Island and the Wizard's Expedition are far from over.

But now that everyone was in front of him, Lacey couldn't care less about being reserved.

What's more, she is not a reserved and shy woman.

Wayne smiled and said, "Captain Lacey, tell me."

He can't guarantee that he can save everyone, but to the best of his ability, Custer City State should be able to successfully survive the "Deep Sea Doomsday" crisis.

"Not long ago, Bishop Jahmose Abad informed that the crisis of 'Deep Sea Doomsday' will endanger the city-state of Castor."

"But he didn't tell us what kind of crisis it was and what preparations we should make..."

Lacey looked at Wayne's expression and saw that there was nothing strange about him before continuing:

"According to the results of our discussion just now, it is best to be as comprehensive as possible and allow Custer to resolve all crises."

"For example, we need the power to kill those deep-sea species, we also need to withstand the storm, and more..."

At this time, the faces of Nifa and others were a little red.

The city-state of Custer is important, but for them to make so many "excessive" demands to an "outsider"...

So ashamed!

In contrast, Lacey didn't think too much.

She only knows that the city-state needs him now...

"...That's all for now."

Lacey belatedly asked: "Is it too much?"

Wayne shook his head and said with a smile: "No, in summary, there are only two things, money and people."

No matter how big the crisis is, it can be solved as long as there are powerful enough extraordinary beings and a steady stream of gold pounds from behind.

However, human affairs are more troublesome, but they are just troubles.

Fortunately, he knew that the crisis Custer encountered was just a storm and tsunami and did not require too many powerful extraordinary beings.

He just needs to find the corresponding extraordinary person to solve such a crisis.

For example, wizards from the occult school who are proficient in elemental spells, such as extraordinary beings with the ability to control water, can minimize the impact of storms and tsunamis.

As for the gold pound... it is the simplest thing!

"So, is that okay?"

"no problem."

Wei En directly agreed, "I will find a group of extraordinary people to sit in the city-state of Custer to deal with crises from the 'deep sea'."

"But the order in the city-state needs you to try to stabilize it as much as possible."

"Of course," Director Nifa assured this time before Lacey responded, "please rest assured that we will fully cooperate with your arrangements."

Wayne looked at her with a smile, nodded and said nothing.

"Very good!"

Lacey waved his fist and said with a grin: "Wayne, you are still useful. Unlike that bastard Marco, who will only cause trouble."

Ah this...

Wayne touched his nose with a strange expression, wanting to say something for Marco, but he didn't know where to start.

Although Marco is now doing well on the Black Pearl, he is still just the squad leader following Black Jack.

It would be better to wait until he becomes the independent captain of a three-masted sailing ship before "defending" him.

"Then let's do this for now, Lacey, and treat Wizard Wayne well."

"good."

With that said, Nifa, Yegor and others bowed to Wei En one after another and then left the venue.

Only Wayne Lacey was left in the entire venue.

"I'm sorry, did I embarrass you?"

After a long silence, Lacey lit a lady's cigarette and said.

"No," Wayne shook his head, "To me now, these are nothing."

In fact, some of the pirates he had previously controlled using [Deception - Word Spirit] had the extraordinary ability to control water.

The gold pound is simpler. The Black Pearl still owes a large sum of gold pounds for the purchase of firearms that has not yet been paid.

"That's good."

Lacey looked much calmer, looked at Wayne, and suddenly laughed.

"It's been so long since I last saw you, you've changed a lot."

"Have it?"

Wei En touched his face and said unconsciously: "It's only been two months. There shouldn't be many changes, right?"

"I have become more confident and handsome."

Lacey blew out the smoke ring with a smile on his face, and felt much more relaxed inside.

Even though it was only two months, it felt like decades.

It's nice to see Wayne again...

Wayne smiled and joked: "Captain Lacey doesn't praise people often."

"No way? I would only be so...violent towards Marco." Lacey rolled her eyes and asked:

"Where's Tina? Didn't she follow you back?"

"I left her on Alexey Island. I have other things to do when I come out this time."

"Are you anxious?" Lacey straightened his expression.

"I'm anxious, but it won't be long."

Wayne looked at the night outside the window, his smile faded a bit, and he said: "I have received accurate information about this 'deep sea apocalypse'. The only impact on the city of Custer is the storm and tsunami."

"Although the tsunami waves are hundreds of meters high and will carry some deep-sea species and even abnormal species, the impact will not be huge."

"Really?" Lacey was stunned.

"Well," Wei En continued: "So you don't have to worry too much, the crisis will be resolved smoothly."

"That's good, haha... I was still thinking before that if no one can help me, I will stay and face the Custer City State together."

Lacey said with a chuckle: "It seems that we don't need to think about death or something like that."

"Not for now..."

The two talked and laughed for two hours before Wayne stood up to say goodbye.

"Sorry, I have to go."

Lacey smiled brightly and did not try to keep her, but said: "I hope to see Tina next time."

"No problem."

Wayne was silent for a few seconds, bowed slightly and said: "See you next time, Captain."

"See you next time..."

Before she finished speaking, Lacey saw the figure disappear in an instant.

For a long time.

Lacey sighed slowly.

"I hope everyone will be safe and sound when we meet next time..."

...

...

In less than half a day, the impact of the "Deep Sea Doomsday" spread to the entire deep sea and the coastal city-states of the four continents.

Relatively speaking, except for the city-states in the northern continent, which were not very worried, the other three continents faced the same choice as the Caster city-state

--choose to defend or retreat to the inland area?

--How to defend? High-level extraordinary people, where do the gold pounds come from?

The reason why the city-states on the south coast of the Northern Continent are not worried is that as soon as the Ghost School confirmed the news, the chief wizard, Vaklav Samuel Kapo, made a decision: "Legendary wizards will be sent to guard the city-states on the south coast. Ghost will not abandon any city-state, nor will it abandon ordinary people." "In addition, during the period of the influence of the 'Deep Sea Doomsday', no one in the city-states shall leave their posts without authorization. In particular, the members of the Noble Committee, the Parliament and the Extraordinary, must devote themselves to the work of guarding their respective city-states!" Therefore, the first to determine the response to the "Deep Sea Doomsday" were the city-states on the south coast of the Northern Continent. Of course, there are also very bad situations, such as the north coast of the Southern Continent! ... It was late at night, and the red moon was high. The "Dark Pool", a "taboo" with a very bad reputation in the deep sea, gushed out seawater for nearly a thousand kilometers. There were roars, laughter, and shouts. Indistinctly, ships emerged from the dark pool water as black as ink. Whether it was a three-masted or five-masted sailing ship, the hull was all black, but strangely, one could see the other side through the hull from one side, like a shadow.

On the ship, the same black shadows gathered on the deck, and the shadows were like undead creatures, swinging back and forth.

In addition to the so-called "ghost ships" in the intelligence, there were also strangely shaped deformed species, deep-sea species, and various ancient creatures.

"Roar——"

"Haha, haha, I came out of the "dark pool" alive!"

"Alive? Hehe... Are we "dead"?"

"No, it's because we are dead after they die!"

Countless black shadows surged and roared all the way to the south.

In an instant, they traveled a thousand meters, and their speed was much faster than that of the five-masted sailing ship.

What's more terrifying is that the "dark pool" after the mutation is still gushing out, as if it wants to spit out everything it has swallowed for countless years.

As a result, the shadows continued to appear and swarmed towards the southern continent.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

At this time, Salvatore and others who were looking at the direction of the "Dark Pool" from afar frowned.

Those shadows seemed to be not very powerful, but some of their characteristics were really a headache.

"I always feel that they are a bit like the guys in the southern continent..."

"Do you think so too? I also observe that they are like the guys in the Shadow School."

"They are all shadow structures, and their speed is generally not limited by space..."

The legendary wizards discussed and analyzed the composition structure of those shadows according to their experience.

"I always feel that it won't be that simple."

Alicia Mejia of the Spiritual Mystic School muttered to herself, frowned and looked at Salvatore and said:

"Wizard Salley, I suggest that it is best to find some shadow creatures to study."

"No problem."

Salvatore was also curious about the secrets of those shadows. After he finished speaking, he stepped out immediately.

After a while, he returned with a "ghost ship".

The shadows on the "ghost ship" were still yelling:

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

"Put us down, we won't be able to survive if we go too late!"

"Asshole, scum, you..."

Salvatore flicked his finger with the undead origin to kill several noisy shadows, looked at everyone and smiled:

"I tried it, and it's easiest to kill these creatures with the origin power."

"Oh?" Alicia asked thoughtfully: "So, other methods can't kill them?"

"Indeed," Salvatore nodded and said: "Flesh and blood attacks are ineffective, and pure spiritual power has little effect. Only the origin power can kill them."

"And the strange thing is that they seem to have some kind of dissolving origin property, and the origin power you consume cannot be restored in a short time."

"Dissolve?"

The wizards paused, and after figuring out the key, they all took a breath.

"That is to say, if we kill too many at once, it may cause our own origin to drop sharply?"

"Not really," Salvatore shook his head: "As long as the channel of the origin power is cut off in time, the characteristics of the shadow creatures will not affect you."

"What is certain is that those with extraordinary bloodlines are in trouble."

The legendary wizards thought for a few seconds and nodded slightly.

They wizards are not afraid of spell runes, because those spells have already integrated the power of the origin, and do not need to consume too much of the origin, and also avoid close contact with shadow creatures.

But those bloodline extraordinary people are mostly close combat.

Even those extraordinary people with long-range means cannot be compared with wizards in terms of distance.

"If we had the [Corpse Explosion] of Wizard Wayne."

Giovanni, the blood spirit wizard, thought of the scene he saw on Alexi Island before, and said enviously:

"One spell, I'm afraid that the 'Dark Pool' will collapse."

"Wayne?"

Salvatore thought of the [Corpse Explosion] that Wayne had cast several times before, and laughed:

"Good suggestion, I will pass it on to him."

"Hey? If it really works, it will directly solve the crisis of the southern continent."

"I believe he can..."

As everyone talked, they came forward and picked a few shadow creatures and studied them.

Salvatore acted as the head of a temporary research institute at sea, coordinating the legendary wizards to conduct further research on the shadow creatures.

"Wizard Giovanni, try the effect of the blood spirit essence."

"Yes, the fifty-third experiment... still doesn't work. As long as the flesh and blood touch the shadow range on them, the essence power will be lost."

"The approximate range is about 0.2 essences."

Salvatore looked at the shadow creature and judged: "The strength is only equivalent to the captain-level extraordinary, or even lower."

A simple calculation can show that -

If he is accidentally surrounded by shadow creatures, it may only take one million such creatures to completely dissolve his essence power.

"No one knows how many monsters there are in the 'dark pool'."

"But including the deep-sea species, there are definitely hundreds of millions."

"That is to say, a wizard school is not enough to dissolve these shadow creatures..."

Thinking of such a scene, even though Salvatore is knowledgeable, he felt terrible.

"Alicia, what did you find over there?"

"Wizard Sare, come and take a look!"

Alicia waved her hand quickly, with a look of excitement, fear and awe.

"What..."

Salvatore moved closer and saw a neatly cut black shadow limb slowly dissipating.

But what surprised him was that after the black shadows dissipated, a crystal the size of a fingernail was left behind.

"What is this?"

Salvatore asked, carefully wrapping the crystal with the origin.

"It's not clear yet," Alicia shook her head and said, "It is certain that the reason why they are still 'alive' should be related to these crystals."

"The power of immortality..."

Hearing her words, Salvatore's heart moved.

As far as he knew, apart from the undead, there should be no other power that can grant immortality to creatures.

Unless the ancient god who was suppressed in the world of the undead took action...
