Chapter 462 He Won’t Want to See Me
"Haha... I'm done with business."
"Nice to meet you. I'll treat you to a drink."
Wayne took out the red wine he brought from the Montoya family estate, and took out two high-footed glasses made of purple gems that were shiny and inlaid with gold lines on the edges. He opened the corks and poured two glasses of red wine.
The bright purple color can be seen through the gemstone wine glasses.
Wayne handed a glass to Bertolis, and he gently shook the glass. The wine that only reached the top of the bottom of the glass flowed, exuding a refreshing fruity aroma.
Bertolis took the glass and leaned back, raised the glass to her nose and smelled it, but she didn't care.
She didn't like wine, nor did she drink often.
But for several epochs, she still tasted the wine brewed by the gods in the kingdom.
Just like the "Sun God" Celente who was defeated by her and Orpheus, he once brewed a red wine called "Flaming Red Lips", which was made from the "Blood Tooth Flower" grown in the "Killing" Kingdom, and was steamed through the "Sun Flame" origin.
Even the gods who own the kingdom can feel a flame warming into the origin after drinking "Flaming Red Lips". The stimulation of the "Killing" origin makes them feel numb from the core of the origin to the soul, spirit and even the body.
Bertolis took a sip and felt that the mouth was fragrant. She nodded calmly and complimented:
"Not bad."
The only way to describe the drink that can be drunk with the technology of ordinary people is "not bad".
Wei En chuckled and said, "The fruits and vegetables picked from the southern continent are produced with mature technology from the eastern continent, so even the new wine tastes good."
"Such a world is worth protecting together, isn't it?"
Such red wine is naturally not in the eyes of the "Lord of Storms", but Wei En still said so.
He just wanted to tell Bertolis through these words that in his eyes, "gods" are just extraordinary people who have integrated the fragments of "World Clothes" and ascended the throne of the country.
Even if "gods" need the faith and service of believers, and can condense faith into authority to enhance the origin of the country, they are still people.
Bertolis suddenly realized in her heart. She looked at this rapidly rising young wizard and understood his intention to find him.
——Asking her about her plan with Orpheus is only one of them, and more importantly, reminding her to stand on the side of the original world!
But, what identity did he use to say this?
The great wizard of the ghost school, or the spokesperson of "World Clothes"?
As her thoughts turned rapidly, Bertolis smiled and said, "Wizard Wayne, you are right."
"This world needs the protection of our Storm Church and the other three major churches of the Orthodox Gods."
Wayne nodded without comment:
"This world has experienced too much suffering. You, Orpheus and others are all accomplices. It's time to do something for those poor people, right? Ms. Bertolis?"
Red Moon and the "Chaos Source Soul" outside the "World Clothes" are indeed the culprits causing the difficulties in this world, but these gods, whether they are the four major gods today, or the "Sun God" Celerent, "Death God" Auranel and the like, are all termites that intercept the "World Clothes" and weaken the protection power of this world.
The throne crown they obtained is the "World Clothes", and the origin in the kingdom is the faith origin condensed by believers. It can be said that every bit of power these Orthodox Gods have is the blood of this world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are termites on the "World Clothes".
Of course, compared to the evil gods such as Gregory, the Lord of the Abyss, and Mitra, the Lord of Despair, Bertolis and others are more inclined to the lawful good side.
And this is why Wayne can sit down and communicate with them and let them bear certain responsibilities.
Bertolis's smile froze and she looked at him deeply.
After thinking for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and said seriously: "You are right, this is what I should do."
Wayne chuckled, "There is no "Dusk Sect" and "Chaos Sect" creating chaos in the Cordo Sea. I believe that the Storm Church can take more responsibilities under your leadership."
Without the "Killing Dream" rule that ravaged the deep sea, the battle between the Araniga and the Black Pearl has also come to an end, and the Cordo Sea should have a safer order.
To do this, there is no second choice except the Storm Church.
Bertolis sat in front of the high-back chair, bowed slightly and said:
"Later, I will ask Ms. Morien to notify all believers of the Storm Church to patrol the deep sea and provide certain shelter for the crew of the ships. However... the operation of the church requires gold pounds, which has nothing to do with faith... You, you know it all the time."
Wayne smiled and nodded, and a bit of relief appeared on his handsome face. Bertolis's response made him very satisfied.
"Of course, wealth is useless to extraordinary people, but it can make church believers more motivated."
"Moreover, for those ships sailing in the deep sea, safety and good order are what they care most about."
Whether it is the merchant ships of the nobles or the pirates, the ships that can sail in the Cordo Sea have certain strength.
But because of this, they can better understand the importance of safety.
"As you wish, I will let the Storm Church's lighthouses spread all over the Cordo Sea."
"Thank you..."
After chatting about some other things, Wayne stood up and said goodbye, and his figure disappeared in the flashing spell.
On the church tower, Bertolis sat motionless in a high-back chair for a long time.
It was not until the short, ugly bell ringer pushed the wooden stake in the bell tower of the cathedral, formerly known as "Krims", and the bell rang, symbolizing the retreat of the night, that Bertolis' eyes regained their spirit.
She stood up, waved her hand to wipe away the two high-backed chairs, and went to the window of the tower to look out.
The light of dawn rose from the sea, dispelling the darkness of midnight and the remaining pollution of the red moon.
The tranquility of the Caster city-state was gradually broken.
The night watchmen took turns to rest, and the investigators of the Secret Investigation Department quickly ran through various blocks based on the pollution incidents recorded last night to remove possible deformed creatures.
After the defenders of the city-state started to move, ordinary people living in the city-state showed signs of activity.
The newspaper boy rode his bicycle to the newspaper office to pick up today's newspaper. After breakfast, the workers rushed to the factory without stopping. The waiter at the tavern near the dock began to clean up the filth of last night...
Bertolis looked at everything below calmly.
Since she became the "Lord of the Storm", she has not paid attention to such a world for a long time.
She was high above, enjoying the praise of believers as a matter of course, enjoying the gathering of faith power, and weaving various conspiracies in order to gain more power and even the country.
But she ignored one thing, something that was not oppressed by Wei En's power but still difficult to detect - human nature!
"I was not noble originally."
Bertolis murmured in a low voice, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
When facing a "person" who was so powerful that she could not resist, she could also ignore her own country and power.
Even if such a situation made her feel threatened and aggrieved, she still did not try to resist.
What is the difference between such a reaction and the residents of the Caster city-state under the church?
She is just a "person" who is stronger than ordinary people!
"Mollien, according to the request of Wizard Wayne, write the protection of the deep sea into the doctrine."
"I will follow your will..."
...
Wayne stayed in the Caster City-State for three days.
The revisiting of the old place after three years made him feel a little emotional, but also relaxed and happy, which was a feeling he had never had when he stayed in the studio day and night.
It is worth mentioning that he also went to Golden Street to see the station used for the intelligence officers of the Ghost School.
Because of him, the exterior wall of the house has been renovated and repainted, and the layout inside has not been changed much, and it remains the same, giving a sense of déjà vu of the former residence of Wayne Loft, the "God Eater".
The people living in it are no longer peripheral intelligence officers who are not even wizard apprentices, but as many as five shadow intelligence personnel.
They are not only responsible for collecting intelligence on the Caster City-State, but also for maintaining the relationship between the City-State Parliament and the Noble Committee, and for classifying and regularly transmitting intelligence on the southern city-states and the Cordo Sea in the East Continent to the North Continent.
Even the Glory Society also contacts the nobles of the East Continent through this intelligence station. The Silvera family seems to want to integrate the Glory Society and themselves into the system of the Ghost School.
It must be said that the Silvera family is the most timely nobles that Wayne has ever seen, and there is no one else.
In addition, the Morris Clinic, a neighbor of No. 44, is still closed. Now when residents of several blocks near Golden Street get sick, they can only seek help from the Storm Church outside the church area.

Tina is also very happy.
Although Tina's expression is not rich and her words are not revealed, Wayne, Lacey and Marco can all sense her happiness.
Without the suppression of "disaster", or in other words, "Lady Disaster" has not forgotten her advent container for the time being, Tina can also have joys, sorrows, anger and happiness like a normal person.
For her, such a life is very satisfying.
In a few days, Lacey took Wayne and the others to visit the entire Caster City-State, and she told the changes of the city-state one by one as if showing off. Even if there is only a slight change, she can tell it endlessly.
From the original appearance, to the process of change, to the current result, it is enough to show Lacey's deep "love" for Caster City-State.
"Wayne, are you leaving?"
As if she was aware of the day of separation, Lacey smiled a little reluctantly, holding Tina's hand tightly for a few times and then letting go.
Wayne nodded and said with a smile: "I need to go to the Drake Republic in the central part of the country."
"Drake Republic?" Marco thought about it for a few seconds and said suddenly: "Wayne, I remember your hometown is in the Drake Republic, right?"
When he first met Wayne, Lacey teased him, saying that such a beautiful boy can only be found in the environment of the central part of the continent, and people of the Aldous tribe can't be so... thin.
"Salut tribe, yes, Wayne is from the Salut tribe." Lacey cheered up and asked:
"Wayne, how long have you not been home to visit?"
How long?
Wayne recalled those fragments of memories about the Drake Republic and shook his head slightly:
"I haven't been back since I came to the Caster City-State."
Only in dreams did he return to the bedroom dominated by black and saw his sister, but the appearance of his parents did not appear in his memory.
"It's been so long, it's time to go back and visit." Lacey sighed.
Marco looked at Wayne and suddenly thought: "I remember that after that, the Loft family of the Drake Republic once issued a notice and published it in the newspaper, saying that they would sever ties with Wayne and deprive him of his inheritance rights."
Lacey was stunned for a moment, looked at Wayne, and then said angrily: "How could they do this?"
Wayne smiled, and recalled that it was indeed the case.
At that time, he slaughtered many clergy of the Church of Dawn in the Caster City-State. Not only was he wanted by the Kingdom of Chatlan and the Church of Dawn, but the Loft family far away in the Drake Republic also announced that they would sever ties with him.
"It doesn't matter. I just go back to take a look this time. Maybe I won't go back again in the future."
After he was promoted to Legend, with the long lifespan of the ghost wizard, he would still be alive even if the Loft family completely disappeared.
He went back this time just to take a look-to find the answers to his doubts, such as [Fraud Talent], such as his sister Estelle Loft.
"There's really no need to stay in a family like that," Marco was also indignant:
"With Wayne's current status, even a great noble like Silvera who dominates the northern continent has to be treated with caution, then the Loft family..."
Although he didn't continue, in Marco's eyes, a small noble from a small country in the middle of the eastern continent is really not worth looking at.
Not to mention Wayne's disdain, he, a great pirate from the Black Pearl, also disdains it.
Wayne smiled and said nothing more, instead comforted Tina, promised to take her out to play next time, and let her stay in the theater space first.
"It just so happens that Shara is busy studying rune cards recently, you can help her, little Tina."
Tina nodded, "Yeah, Tina is amazing."
In the past three years, she has also changed a lot.
In addition to the source of disasters that is growing all the time, she also spent a lot of time on learning, and learned the "Gonzales Language" course arranged by Wayne to her master level, and can translate most of the relics of the era by herself.
Chen Yi smiled and patted her head, said hello to Lacey and Marco, and took Tina away.
"See you next time, Lacey, Marco."
"See you next time."
Watching Wayne take out the golden key, turn it around and take Tina away, the smile on Lacey's face slowly faded, revealing a little disappointment.
Marco glanced at her, then laughed and hugged her neck and said:
"What's wrong? Dear Director Lacey, are you reluctant to part with Wayne the Wizard, or are you reluctant to part with Tina?"
Bang!
Lacey's eyebrows stood up, and she punched Marco in the abdomen. The huge force directly knocked him out, rumbling and breaking several stone slabs.
"Wow... Wow..." Marco widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and retched a few times:
"Lai, Lacey, you, you want to murder?!"
"Humph! You dare to take advantage of me, you are looking for death, right?"
"Hey? How can that be taking advantage? You obviously did to Wayne before..."
Bang!
Bang!
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm wrong, wrong, wrong... Don't hit me in the face, my father will introduce Ms. Lola to me tonight, if you hit me... Ah!!"
Wayne, who had already returned to the theater space, didn't know about the friendly exchange between Marco and Lacey. After he settled Tina, he took McAllister to the Mendesai City-State of the Divana Kingdom.
This place is not far from the Drake Republic and even closer to the Holy Land of the Dawn Church.
McAllister glanced to the east, feeling the slight burning sensation on his body, grinning:
"Wizard Wayne, are you going to the Holy Land to say hello to Orpheus?"
Wayne followed his gaze, was silent for a few seconds, and sneered:
"He won't want to see me."
