Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 105 Chanting My Name
"I discovered a big secret, do you want to hear it?"

Big secret?
Wei En looked at her suspiciously, "What secret is related to me?"

"Of course, how about it? Are you interested?"

"No."

Claire curled her lips, "Are you an extraordinary, or are you a sorcerer from the Ghost School who claims to pursue the true meaning of knowledge and is not afraid of death?"

"This is not called timidity, but caution." Wei En said seriously, "This world is so dangerous, only by being cautious can you live longer."

If I hadn't been targeted by you, I would be safer now.

"... Are you really not interested?"

"Not interested in."

"Then I have to tell you."

Wayne: "..."

Co-author, you just want to find someone to share with, right?
Claire said enthusiastically: "Today I discovered that Director Ales of your Secret Research Department and Bishop Andrews of the Church of Dawn are secretly meeting, and they still look very familiar."

"Impossible. I heard that what he hates the most are people from the church, especially the Church of Dawn. How could they meet in private?"

Director Aless and Andrews?

Wayne's first reaction was disbelief.

You know that Director Alais interrupted the Lord of Dawn's gaze at that celebration in front of most of the city-state. How could he be familiar with Bishop Andrews?

"Believe it or not," Claire said without arguing, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "You have to be careful about your director, he is not like what you see..."

Wei En was dubious about her words, but he did not rule out the possibility that Director Ales and Bishop Andrews really knew each other.

After all, Director Alessi has been in the city-state of Custer for many years, and he knows people from the Church of Dawn so he can tell the past.

Just like he and Melbell didn't like each other, didn't they have a meal together yesterday?

Moreover, what does it matter to him that the secretary is acquainted with the bishop?
Such a big man is too far away from him.

"So, it was the director who injured you tonight?"

"Of course not, it's another old guy with a weird temper," Claire's smile faltered and she said unhappily: "I'm going to kill him sooner or later."

"Yes, yes, but I can see the injuries on your body, obviously you can't beat him."

"Oh? Mr. Apprentice, I can't beat him, but your strength is also weaker than mine, right?"

Wei En pretended not to hear. It would be easier to get beaten if he remained silent at this time. "Is there anything else? I'm going to get busy."

Claire narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the bell expanded twice before slowly spitting it out, "Have you encountered any cases in the past two days?"

Wei En's expression changed, he remembered that there was this item in the previous transaction.

The price of a case is, 5 gold pounds?

"Of course, I have handled a case today. In the Snow Tavern in Basil Street, a guest from out of town had a distortion."

Wei En stretched out his hand, "Chenghui, 5 gold pounds."

"Gone?"

"It's gone, the mutants have been dealt with."

Claire's expression fell, and she reluctantly took out a five-pound note and put it on the table, "Are there any others?"

"Well, there is another one."

Wayne thought of the case of Serres Manor, and looked at the 5 gold pounds, it was nothing but a scandal of the nobles.

"It's a commission from a noble..."

"The Serres family, the Black Pearl...this case looks pretty good," Claire said cheerfully this time, throwing out a 5-gold note and saying, "Happy cooperation."

"Happy and happy."

Wei En took two banknotes and counted them. This was much more generous than the Ghost School, which made him want to seriously consider Claire's invitation.

Join the Eternal Life Society... Forget it, an organization that has money to make but no money to spend, it's better to be more stable in Ghost.

Except for the arrogant and rude liaison officer, all the rules within the school are relatively sound. Whenever he is promoted, the Apprentice Management Office will give him rewards...

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Claire plunged into the shadow of the corner and fell slowly, reminding intentionally or unintentionally: "The necklace I gave you for safekeeping before, you must keep it well..."

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Wei En has always regarded the request of the benefactor as his own business.

What's more, this is a big money lord who can pay for two unrelated cases...

Looking at the place where Claire disappeared, he took out the book that Claire had collected before, with the dark red cover, the black gem in the six-pointed star rune, and the faint light on the book.

"Just let me see what is recorded on it."

Wei En's spiritual power was attached to his hands, and he carefully opened the cover——

"Doa!"

"Doa!!"

"Doa!!!"

Along with the shrill and desperate voice, a mouth full of sharp teeth was seen growing out from the edge of the book. It opened wide and roared crazily, and the overwhelming hatred spread around.

Wei En looked at this scene thoughtfully. The word "Doa" means night in Gonzalez language...

night?

Thinking like this, he reached out and patted the mouth, and his spiritual power passed through to restore the book to its original state.

Wayne saw the first page of the book - only half a sheet of paper?

"Um, don't you recognize the first word?"

The proficiency level of Gonzalez seems to be a bit low.

"...Dark night...Silence...The back has been torn off? The translation work is off to a bad start."

Wei En turned over the first page a little depressed, and looked at the content above, and his spirit was shaken.

"In the 88th year of the third era, the Turing Empire was established, and a new chapter was about to open in the original continent. Turing I was wise and mighty, and there were several... gods standing behind him?"

[You have successfully unlocked new Gonzales vocabulary.Evaluation: God is God, not a spirit.Special bonus: Survival +1, Gonzalez +1. 】

The translation is correct!

Wei En continued to read and saw that the founder of the Turing Empire had the support of several gods.

When the empire was established, the five popes from the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Night, the Church of the Earth, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of War attended to crown Turing I...

Five major churches?

Wei En looked at the translated names. The familiar Zhengshen Church only had Storm and Earth...the other three were gone?
"During the coronation ceremony, the descending ceremony of the gods, Turing I was blessed by the five righteous gods, and the Turing Empire was blessed by the Church of the Righteous God... Page ."

"Huh? It's an unknown word again."

Wayne looked at the second page, a large section of unfamiliar Gonzalez language, and thoughtfully opened the panel to take a look.

Survival points 135 points... plus points!
贡萨雷斯语7/100，8/100……100/100。

[Your proficiency in Gonzalez is 100/100, do you want to upgrade? 】

【Yes. 】

[Congratulations, your Gonzalez level has been raised to proficiency.Evaluation: You can use this to know some secrets that you shouldn't know... Special rewards: Survival Point +2, Spirit Level +2, Resilience Level +2. 】

[Note: Proficiency in Gonzales means only a part of the vocabulary of the language.When identifying unknown words in Gonzalez, the success rate of correct understanding is 30%, and the accuracy rate can be improved with the help of auxiliary tools. 】

As the upgrade was successful, the Gonzalez language, which was extremely small in number and seemed to contain endless knowledge, emerged in Wei En's mind one by one.

"4899 characters."

I remember that when I upgraded from beginner to proficient, I got a total of 350 six characters, and this time I upgraded to proficient level, which is about three times that of the proficient level...

Wei En slowly opened his eyes, and Gonzalez's words flashed quickly in the depths of his eyes, causing his red eyes to be stained with a layer of darkness.

In a daze, he seemed to have passed through layers of fog and saw the secret space beneath fate and above time.

Two stalwart figures overlooked the whole land, one of them was wearing a white robe with long white hair and a beard, looking as simple as an old scholar.

Next to him was a woman with a proud figure wearing a black tights.

But Wei En couldn't see the two of them clearly, no, to be precise, they were two gods. He only felt that there was an invisible shadow lying in front of his eyes.

"...Gonzalez, what's the point?"

"Haha, this is much more meaningful than eternal life. Don't you think this world is too peaceful?"

"so what?"

"Add some color and that's it."

"Really?" The goddess' voice turned cold, "It's so boring..."

"Hahaha... maybe, but when everyone knows the name of Gonzales, I will wake up again. At that time... I hope you are still there..."

"Huh, it must be!" The white-robed old man seemed to glance at Wei En's direction unintentionally, and laughed again, "Recite my name, and you will gain eternal and endless wisdom!"

In an instant, the scene in front of Wei En disappeared, and he stared blankly at the familiar studio.

Gonzales... Eternal Wisdom?
[You have learned some of the lost secrets, the awakening progress of the ancient god Gonzalez +1 (the current progress is 34/???).Special reward: origin +1. 】

Wayne just glanced at the panel prompts and chanted in a low voice: "Gonzales, Gonzales..."

No reaction from Mao, liar!
He shut his mouth angrily and continued to read the content on the second page, "..."

Why, there are so many untranslatable words?
However, compared to before the upgrade, it has been much better, at least it is no longer a large section that I don’t know, and it has become intermittent.

"In March 89 of the third era, the eldest prince was born and was blessed by the Pope of the Church of the Sun..."

"In June of the same year, the second prince was born. On that day, darkness enveloped the earth. The Pope of the Church of the Night... whose name I don't recognize, bless the second prince of the Turing Empire?"

"In September of the same year, the eldest princess was born. The Church of Storms beat the Earth Church to bless the girl and brought her into the church for training..."

[You have successfully unlocked a new Gonzalez vocabulary... Special reward: Survival point +1, Gonzalez language proficiency +1. 】

【…】

[You have successfully unlocked a new Gonzalez vocabulary... Special reward: Survival point +1, Gonzalez language proficiency +1. 】

Wei En guessed and recognized more than a dozen unfamiliar words, and roughly understood the content described on the second page.

That is to say, Turing I and the Queen of the Turing Empire gave birth to several children in the same year, and each child was blessed and raised by several Orthodox churches at the first birth.

with the same queen?
Can it be born like this?

Wei En confirmed the name of the queen again——

"Lilith Horacio Leonard? I don't know what species she is. She gives birth to one child every three months, a cow!"

Well, this name has to be written down, she is definitely a big obstacle to family planning.

But is the Turing Empire in the third era so powerful?

The five major righteous churches are actually vying to bless the second generation. What's the benefit?
Wei En turned to the third page in confusion. When he saw the content above, his eyes widened suddenly and he blurted out a national curse.

"Damn it, don't you know a single word??"

He saw a total of 329 Gonzales characters on the third page, and he didn't know any of them...

Now, he won't even be given the chance to guess...

Wei En turned a few more pages in disbelief, and sighed helplessly as he saw a large number of unfamiliar words.

It's not that he doesn't want to translate, it's that he really doesn't know each other!
"It seems that we have to continue to add more points. One thousand survival points. There are so many just to understand an obviously chronological historical text... I feel a bit at a loss."

Wei En closed the book and threw it into the space ring. Come on, let's wait until there are free survival points in the future.

However, he was quite curious about the history behind it.

In particular, how did the five Orthodox churches of the third era evolve into the current Dawn, Storm, Red Moon and Earth.

As for the Turing Empire... there is not even a hair left now. Even if we know more historical facts about it, it seems to be of little use, right?

Wei En shook his head, it seems that his equal contract with Claire will last for a while.

With this in mind, he packed up the studio and went upstairs to rest.

When passing by Tina's room, Wei En deliberately opened the door and took a look. Seeing the white-haired girl lying flat and sleeping, he carefully closed the door and went back to the bedroom.

[Congratulations on another day.Evaluation: The weak chicken has become stronger, eh, weak scum?Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

After Wei En fell asleep, the three women living in the other three rooms of this residence all opened their eyes at the same time...

Tina opened her dull eyes and murmured: Lilith, Lilith, Lilith... Lilith! !
The zombie girl was staring at the top of the room, seemingly looking at the black-haired boy, holding a neatly folded white skirt in her hand...

Only Claire was different from the two of them. She sat up and cursed, "No, why should I suffer such a disadvantage? I have to go back for revenge. Old guy, just wait for me!"

After the words fell, she disappeared into the shadows beside the bed again, and began her journey of revenge...

……

……

In the middle of the night, a house shrouded in thick darkness stands in the howling cold wind.

There are scratches on the wooden wall, like sharp claws scratching and breaking, adding a bit of dilapidation to this old cabin.

The candlelight flickered in the room, which was filled with a stale smell.

Wei En was awakened by the pungent smell, "Why does it seem like I'm back in the guest room at the Snow Tavern...huh?"

What is this place?
Isn't he in the bedroom of the residence?
Wei En looked at the simple and dimly lit room around him, a dream?
At this time, rustling sounds came from all around, like someone whispering in his ear, or like the wind blowing randomly outside the window...

In this silent room, he felt a little bit chillier for no reason.

"what?"

Wei En frowned. This was not the first time he had experienced a dream. He had even experienced the Dawn Fountain of Faith, let alone such a small room.

boom,
He looked at the wooden door on his left and listened intently. Was there someone knocking on the door?
boom,
OK, knock on the door!
boom,
"Who is it? He's already asleep, stop knocking!"

Boom, boom, boom...

The person outside the door seemed to hear his voice, and turned from knocking on the door to frantically banging on the door.

Accompanied by the piercing sound, the surrounding walls were vibrating, making it even more strange in the darkness.

Wei En sat on the edge of the bed, just staring at the wooden door without any movement, he wanted to see who was playing tricks!
Suddenly, a burst of shrill laughter sounded in the night, and the laughter was full of ridicule.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee..."

Ok?
Some nervous laughter.

Wei En thought, "Who the hell brought me into this dream, come out."

Instead of waiting, offer an invitation.

After coming to this world, he had many similar experiences, allowing him to face it all calmly.

The only similarity is that with his current strength, he can't resist...

As the laughter grew shriller, the knocking on the door grew faster and louder.

Every blow seemed to hit Wei En's heart, and strangely, his heartbeat also accelerated.

The door panel creaked, as if there was a murmur in his heartbeat.

"Well."

Wayne clutched his chest. He could feel his heartbeat racing so fast that it even jumped into his throat.

"No, knock it!"

He couldn't help but rushed over and opened the door violently.

A black shadow rushed in, and the cold wind outside chilled his face, and the beating of his heart slowed down instantly.

Wei En shook his head, looked outside the door a few times, no one?
He closed the door and backed away slowly, always paying attention to the movement outside the door.

Although he told himself that there was no need to be nervous, it would be fine, but as time went by, he began to become suspicious.

Who is it?

Claire?The sect of despair?Dawn Church?Or those Vazquez people?
Hee hee ha... clown?
"Joker, is that you?"

"Hee hee, young, handsome, lovely warrior, you finally think of me..."

A slightly frivolous voice sounded behind him. Wei En turned around suddenly and saw a black figure!

"Devil Clown?!"

"Good afternoon, young sir."

The devil clown saluted gracefully, with a black gentleman's hat in his hand covering his chest, his left foot in front and his right foot behind, and he bowed slightly.

He wore a broken clown mask on his face, and the blood-red lip gloss extended outward to below his ears.

Under the mask, there was a sharp chin, and a pair of eyes that were sometimes crazy and sometimes dead, looking at Wei En wantonly.

"you……"

"Are you not saying hello?"

The atmosphere in the room began to become heavy and oppressive, as if every inch of air was filled with madness.

Wei En swallowed, took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, but his voice was still a bit dry, "Good afternoon, Mr. Clown."

"I still like the name Leonard, what do you think?"

"Okay, Mr. Leonard..."

What the hell, what's going on here?
Isn’t the encounter progress less than 100?
How come I met the devil clown in advance, or in such a dream?

Wayne felt like he was going crazy!
　That's one chapter today, I'll add another one this weekend, um, let's start tomorrow.

　　I still owe two chapters, but judging from the monthly pass situation, I will soon owe three chapters, woo woo woo.
