Chapter 456 Mr. Arnold, Long Time No See
In the night, the red moon was still hanging high.
Wei En looked up at the sky, and under the red moonlight, a crystal red light appeared in his red eyes, covering his face with a layer of mist.
The Contract of Carmendia...
After talking with Waklav and Celent, Wei En finally agreed.
After he was promoted to the legendary level, he would activate the "Contract of Carmendia" to accept the test of the ancient god.
Although Waklav told the story of him and other people who had experienced the test of "Contract of Carmendia", he still could not summarize the common standards.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that in that test mixed with the power of the three kingdoms of "Killing", "War" and "Nightmare", most of the time, the contractor needs to fight to pass the test.
Some other situations are also the accidents mentioned by Chief Waklav.
It is an unexpected situation with unclear reasons and mechanisms, which will enter a special hidden space.
And there is the opportunity that "Lord of Slaughter" Celent is looking for - a trace of origin left by the ancient god Jiamendia.
Or, it is more appropriate to call it "divinity".
"Divinity, kingdom, gods..."
Wai En sank into the sea of consciousness and called out the panel to check.

In three years, Wayne's abilities have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In addition to being promoted to the high level of the Great Wizard, the level of each spell has been raised to level eight, and the basic subordinates and source power have doubled.
If it weren't for the fact that the fusion of the two talents consumed a lot of source, the current power would be even stronger.
And this is why Wei En sometimes feels afraid of the power he has.
"There is a truth that is the same in any world and any place - there will never be a free lunch!"
The power he has is indeed a reward from the panel.
There is no doubt about this.
But think about it more deeply?
Where does the power rewarded to him by the panel come from?
Appearing out of thin air, transferred by gods, or...
Wei En has thought about this question many times.
Especially as the power continues to grow and the unlimited promotion makes him more and more suspicious of the origin of the panel.
After all, the world he lives in is not the blue planet dominated by technology in his previous life, but a strange world with faith, extraordinary blood, and distortion pollution.
Everyone here, every extraordinary person, priest, wizard, and even god, has a clear trajectory in their growth process.
Only Wei En himself cannot be said to have no trajectory, but his growth curve is almost straight.
In fact, many people pay attention to his growth curve.
For example, Claire, Mitra, Tina and others who often get along with him, but they just don't mention it.
In addition to the panel, Wei En also vaguely feels a little weird about the fraud talent.
Although he rarely uses the fraud talent in the past three years, as his strength continues to increase, some inexplicable memory fragments will flash through his mind.
In those constantly flashing pictures, he often sees the same face-that is the girl he saw in his dream when he was promoted, his sister Estel Loft.
A few times, he even thought that those pictures were warnings given to him by the "Long River of Destiny". But when recalling, he felt that those pictures were too vague, as if there was a layer of diaphragm that made him unable to see clearly.
Perhaps, before he advances to the legendary wizard, it would be better to go back to that home and confirm some things.
Thinking of this, Wayne looked straight at the red moon in the night sky.
"Maybe I should go back."
...
In the next few days, Wayne was taken by Dean Josue Sexton to visit the research institutes one by one.
As if he was a core senior of the Ghost School, he was carefully received by the directors and researchers of those research institutes.
Regardless of the topic, research report, or the current difficulties, they would be placed in front of Wayne one by one.
Regardless of whether he had been exposed to that knowledge or not, they were all presented to him for his guidance.
When those strange research topics were placed in front of Wayne, he had the idea of running away for the first time.
It was also the first time that he deeply understood the contents of the "Wizard's Notebook" when he first got it.
It was the prohibition of dissecting summons and prohibition of falling in love.
I didn't expect that there really was a research institute with research topics like this.
Fortunately, there are many research topics in his field, which are the follow-up of mechanical undead and rune board.
"Wizard Wayne, the main research topic of our No. 13 Research Institute is to follow your rune board."
"Please look here."
Wayne didn't care at first, and the smile on his face almost froze.
But as the legendary wizard Waldemar Dagerty, the director of the institute, opened the door, Wayne's eyes lit up.
In the research room, a vehicle with two wheels appeared in front of everyone.
Even though its appearance was rough and the welding marks were obvious, Wayne recognized it as a motorcycle from any angle.
To be precise, it was a rune array version of a transportation vehicle.
"Wizard Wayne, this is the research topic of our institute."
Waldemar Dagerty saw his expression and smiled, and hurriedly introduced: "Its appearance is modeled after the Undead Knight, tall and mighty."
"For the core rune array, we have added Swift Shadow, Galloping, etc., and there are also runes that adapt to various environments, suitable for every extraordinary person."
After Wayne's spiritual perception detection, he couldn't help but nodded.
"Wizard Waldemar has a lot of ideas. This is indeed a very good topic, and there is a lot of room for improvement."
"I am very optimistic about you."
These words are not consolation, but the true reaction of Wayne's heart.
To be honest, most of the topics he studied on Alexei Island were related to the combat of superhumans.
For example, firearms, large rune arrays, mechanical undead, etc., can all enhance the means of superhumans.
But today, Wizard Waldemar Daggety gave him a reminder-it turns out that the wizard knowledge he has mastered can help more people.
Two-wheeled transportation vehicles have, so can we research four-wheeled ones?
Also, most of the lighting used in the city-state is lanterns and gas lamps, so can we research rune lamps?
It is very likely to be feasible.
Unless Wayne wants to develop a rune array that can resist the pollution of the red moon, then...
"That seems to be possible!"
Thinking of this, Wayne said hello to Waldemar Dagety and Dean Josué, canceled the next schedule, and returned directly to the 66th Institute.
Josué and Waldemar looked at each other.
"Dean, what happened to Wizard Wayne?"
"Wizard Waldemar, maybe you are lucky, and our Feng Enliso Research Center has gone far away."
Josué laughed, and the four slender white bones made a crackling sound when shaking.
"Wizard Wayne must have been inspired by your research results and will start a new topic!"
"Really?"
Waldemar smiled, and the wrinkles on his old and thin face were like ravines, but it did not make people feel ugly, but instead there was a sense of joy.
Not only them, but also the researchers around them straightened their chests.
Although they still don't know the specific reason why Wizard Wayne left, Dean Qiao Sue's words made them believe that it was the fact.
What if Wizard Wayne was really inspired by them and decided to open a new research field.
Then their Institute No. 13 will also be famous throughout the ghost school with the research report published by Wizard Wayne.
This is enough for them to hold their heads high and walk ahead of other research institutes!
...
The fact is just as Dean Qiao Sue guessed. After Wayne returned to Institute No. 66, he immediately summoned Theresa and others and announced the opening of a new research topic.
The name of the topic is - civil!
"Yes, it's civil!"
"It's not for wizards, not for polluted mutants, nor for enhancing the power of extraordinary people, but for ordinary people in the city-state to use tools."
"These tools cannot guarantee their safety, but they can make their lives more convenient."
As he said, Wayne waved his hand, and a water curtain formed by water elements emerged.
Then he activated [Fraud-Illusion Creation] and projected the new city-state scene in his mind onto the water curtain.
There are huge buildings on it, no longer made of bricks and stones, but cast in metal like the floating islands made by the mechanical school.
The flat and clean road surface is as smooth as a mirror.
Street lamps are lined up on both sides of the road, and there are mechanical puppets on the road responsible for patrolling and cleaning.
These are understandable to Teresa and others, but there are also things similar to horse carriages on the road, but they are coachmen.
The overall appearance is like a steam mechanical car, but it is several circles smaller than that.
There are also two-wheeled ones, which are not only small, but also extremely fast.
"This is a subject that requires a lot of energy. We will change everything in the city-state with the power of wizards."
"Do you see this street lamp? In addition to lighting, we can give it the ability to resist red moon pollution. This is the focus of the next research!"
Wei En had a smile on his face. The doubts about the origin of the panel a few days ago disappeared at this moment.
He suddenly realized that the increase in strength not only ensures that he has the ability to kill powerful enemies, but also has a wider world waiting for him to explore.
"This steam-powered vehicle is used for travel, and we need to design a complete set of rune nodes to control it."
"It can speed up, slow down, and even protect the safety of the people sitting on it at critical moments."
"The same is true for these buildings. With the help of the power of the rune array, the safety of the residents inside can be protected. Especially when someone is contaminated and deformed, the internal array can trap them and protect others..."
As Wayne told the story, Teresa and others gradually became excited.
They live in the research center all year round. As wizards, they have little contact with the lives of ordinary people, let alone pay attention and care.
If Wizard Wayne hadn't told them, it would have been impossible for them to think of researching something that would facilitate ordinary people's lives.
After being overjoyed, Teresa raised her hand and said with a smile: "Director Wayne, I fully support the topic direction you proposed, but can I make a small request?"
"Say." Wei En nodded.
"First point, such a huge subject has thousands of branch directions. It will take countless years for me and Senior Escobar alone, plus you. So I want to apply to the school to add researchers."
"Deputy Director Teresa is right, I also want to raise this point." Escobar also had a smile on his face.
"Agree." Wei En saw that the other researchers all looked in agreement, and of course he would not refuse.
"And the second point," Teresa felt a little uneasy and said in a slightly unconfident tone: "I want to seek help from the family."
"What's the reason?"
"Director, these projects are aimed at ordinary people in the city-state. The standard for verifying their success is not the institute, but the city-state."
Seeing that he did not refuse immediately, Teresa was shocked and quickly explained: "And our Silvera family has a certain say in many city-states in the Northern Continent. We are not short of people and gold pounds, so we can make research Smoother."
"The most important point is that the family can provide all the expenses required for the research, and after the project is completed, the family will not interfere with any results in the institute."
Wei En raised his eyebrows. He gave people, money and efforts, but he didn't want the final fruits?
It is impossible for the greatest philanthropist to do this, right?
But after thinking about it, he didn't refuse.
As long as the subject is finally researched, he has countless ways to satisfy the people of the Silvera family.
"Then it's confirmed. Next, we will recruit researchers and prepare preliminary plans for the entire Ghost School simultaneously."
At this point, Wayne paused and added: "Except for the issue of resisting red moon pollution."
"I am personally responsible for this topic. If necessary, I will notify you in advance."
"Yes, Director Wei En!"
After arranging everything, Wayne returned to the room.
McAllister next to him witnessed the whole process. Although he didn't understand what Wayne was doing, the things on the water curtain made him somewhat interested.
"Wayne, was that something you thought of on the spur of the moment?"
"That's right. It should be said that when I lived in the city-state of Custer, I saw too many inconveniences. Now I can provide them with some help."
As he spoke, Wayne took out the golden key and led him back to the theater space.
Now that he has found something to do, he will go all out.
"Hehehehahahahahaha...Long time no see, little wizard Wei En..."
At this moment, a sharp laughter echoed in the empty theater space, making Wayne frown slightly.
"Mr. Arnold, long time no see."
