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

Chapter 270 The Road to Legend

Northern Continent, Ice Castle Research Center.

"Record, the 132nd Experiment on Promotion of Mechanical Undead."

"Undead Creatures: Skeleton Warriors."

"Level: Director level."

"Plan: Mechanical Heart Rune Device, External Mechanical Armor, Soul Fusion Rune..."

Boras was wearing a fat ghost robe, with the hem trailing on the floor. Two red dots on his crystal head were staring at the restraint platform in front of him.

On the restraint platform, which was made from a single piece of tibia, a naked skeleton was firmly held in place by several bone claws.

Half of its body was covered by a thick mechanical body, and the previously empty space under the ribs on its chest was now equipped with a shining mechanical heart rune device.

In the dark eyes, red light flickered, and the mouth opened wide, struggling silently.

"Boras, its condition is a bit unstable..."

Annep wore a pair of monocles, the glasses were slightly protruding, and the delicate mechanical gears rotated slowly, observing the status of the skeleton warrior.

"There are some problems, but they are not major." Boras said with a chuckle: "But I always firmly believe that the mechanical undead must be a skeleton."

"Not even the best choice..."

"I admit that little guy Wei En is very smart, but his direction is not conducive to the evolution of the world of the undead."

"Compared to creatures such as zombies, ghouls, and wraiths, skeletons are the most numerous in the world of the undead."

"Whether it's skeleton warriors, skeleton wizards, or more powerful skeleton knights and bone dragons, those are the undead creatures most suitable for mechanized transformation."

"Once the skeleton-type mechanical undead is successful, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire undead world..."

Annep looked at Boras who was chattering endlessly and felt speechless for the first time.

He never thought that Boras would value the mechanical undead so much, and he never expected that the deputy chairman of the Ghost School would "plagiarize" other people's unfinished projects...

Although almost all research centers in the entire Ghost School are adding mechanical undead subjects, they are the Ice Castle Research Center.

It is the second largest research center of the Ghost School, besides the taboo research center led by the chief leader of Waclav Samuel Capo.

Shouldn't it be about studying the changes in the radiance of the red moon, the fusion of original characteristics, or even the power of faith and the origin of gods?

"Boras, I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you..."

"Ok?"

"I need to remind you that there is currently no clear direction for this project. Well... that is, the initiator of the project, Wizard Wayne, has not announced the end of the research..."

"Even if you research everything, according to the rules of the school, these results will still be counted on him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Boras turned and looked at him, "Annep, you don't think I'm doing this for myself, do you?"

Annep subconsciously looked in other directions, it was self-evident.

"Kaka..."

Boras opened his mouth and laughed, "You don't understand. You won't understand. The current world of the undead is..."

At this point, he paused suddenly and looked at Annep with two rows of teeth closed.

"What's wrong?" Annep also looked at him, "Is there something wrong in the world of the dead?"

"Sooner or later, you will understand. I value the power of the world of the dead more than the title of the person in charge of the project..."

"Oh." Annep said noncommittally.

"sooner or later……"

Boras shook his head, turned around and continued to stare at the mechanical skeleton, and said stiffly: "It seems that the soul-melting rune must be combined with the immortal body."

"It seems that the subsequent experiments have to be stopped for a while, and I still need to search for replacement runes."

"Is that so..." Red light flashed in Annep's dark eyes, "Then just wait, after all, Director Wei En has not submitted the follow-up project report yet."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh? Someone actually came to interrupt your research..."

"Enter."

Armitage opened the door and came in, saluting respectfully.

"Is something wrong?" Boras did not look back, and the rising source of power covered the entire research room.

"Yes, it's about Wizard Wayne."

"Oh?"

Armitage glanced at Annep next to him, then took out a piece of parchment and handed it directly to Boras.

"Look at this."

Boras turned to look at him, took the parchment and glanced at it.

"Oh? He found out?"

really.

Armitage did not respond. He knew in his heart that the legendary Salvatore appeared at Wynn's place, and Deputy Boras knew about it.

"What happened?" Annep looked around and asked.

"Nothing," Boras put away the parchment and clicked: "He killed a big pirate on Alexei Island, and he also noticed Armitage's arrangement there."

"The big pirate? Isn't he being chased by the Saint of Dawn Church? Why is he staying there?"

"Maybe he has his own ideas, that little guy..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Armitage stood aside silently, like a qualified background.

Apparently, only Boras Legend knew about Salvatore Samuel Capo's appearance on Alexei Island.

At this time, silence is golden.

"...You continue to pay attention, and by the way, let the shadow intelligence officer in charge of Alexei Island pay more attention to him."

"clear."

Armitage saluted, turned and left the laboratory.

Boras and Annep looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first.

It was as if they had discovered each other's little secret.

buzzing...

At this moment, the black communicator next to him rang.

Annep seemed relieved and said: "Bolas, someone is looking for you."

"Deputy Boras, internal number 337, Wizard Wayne Loft requests to establish a connection channel with you, would you..."

"Come in, Annette." Boras looked at Annep deeply, then turned to look at the black communicator.

"as you wish……"

Not long after, Wayne's young face appeared in the center of the illusory screen.

"What's up?"

Wei En on the other side looked at the two skeletons in the picture, oh no, three.

There is also a skeleton lying on the restraint table, with traces of mechanical modification still remaining on its body.

Wei En raised his eyebrows, is this a research project on mechanical undead?

Unexpectedly, Deputy Boras was also doing it.

Skeleton... is also a good development.

But now there is more business to talk about.

"Good afternoon, Deputy Boras, Legend of Annep."

"I was talking about you just now, but I didn't expect you to contact me right now," Annep chuckled and said, "What's the matter?"

Talk about me?

Wayne didn't know what they were talking about. Was it related to the topic of mechanical undead?

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I wonder if the school has had any contact with the Mysterious School recently?"

"Secret?"

Boras clicked twice and asked without any fluctuation in his tone: "Did you find any problem?"

"That's it..."

Then Wei En told how he borrowed the nightmare worm to send a letter and then discovered that the place was blocked by the nightmare world and intervened.

"Maybe I'm paranoid, but there was no problem with sending letters several times before. Only this time something went wrong, so..."

"Block the entrance to the nightmare world..."

The two skeleton wizards, Boras and Annep, looked at each other and saw no expression on the other's face.

"Annep, contact Chief Ragnar immediately."

"I'll go right away."

Then, Wei En saw a skeleton wizard immediately appear on the screen, and his heart moved slightly.

It seemed that his suspicion was correct, something might have happened to Lingmi. It's just a matter involving a wizard school. What kind of person could be responsible for it?

After a few seconds of silence, Boras looked at Wei En in the screen, his eyes flashing red, and asked: "Did you learn from the note I gave you last time?"

"I'm studying, but there's a lot of content. For the time being, I only meet the requirements for promotion to the Grand Wizard."

Wei En did not hide it, he had indeed reached the critical point of promotion to the great wizard.

Not only did the number and level of spells reach the standard, but the two talents also reached the entry level.

"Meet the qualifications for promotion?"

Boras' body visibly paused, and the transaction was only a few hours away.

Is this enough?

It seems that the little guy has extraordinary talent in magic, or in runes.

"The occult wizard system is the foundation of the Ghost School, and it is also what we rely on to this day after the origin of wizards in the third era."

Boras said in a stiff voice: "Whether it is the dispute between wizard schools in the middle and late third era, or the dark period of the fourth era, arcane wizards play an important role."

"I can't go into details. When you return to the school, you can view those era relics."

"Ah."

Wei En bowed slightly and solemnly said: "Thank you, Vice President Boras, for your teaching."

"This is nothing, but there is one thing I want to remind you. That is, after being promoted to the Grand Wizard, you have to face a choice."

"Choice?"

Boras did not explain immediately, but flicked his white fingers.

Then a bare skull head was seen looming, with a complex mark flickering on its smooth forehead.

Original daughter?

Wei En observed carefully for a second. The rune marks on the skull's forehead were different from the spell runes he understood.

"Do you see anything?"

"Well, the rune mark has changed."

"Yes." Boras nodded and continued: "The promotion of the great wizard to the legend is no longer a simple accumulation of the number and level of spells."

"It's more about the fusion of the original power, not simply integrating into the body, but integrating with the spell runes imprinted on the child body."

Is this so...

Wei En vaguely knew the path for subsequent wizards to advance to legend.

It is similar to the origin fusion method of extraordinary people, except that one is to fuse the body's blood, while the wizard integrates the origin into the spell rune imprint...

Converted into attributes, it can be understood that the source is integrated into toughness and the source is integrated into spiritual power.

"The so-called choice is which sub-body you want to take as the main body. For example, if I choose the necromancy system, I will integrate most of the origin into this sub-body."

Boras pointed to the skull in mid-air and said: "Of course, it is also the basis for promotion to legend."

Can only choose one?

Wei En asked thoughtfully: "I wonder if it is possible to upgrade all the original sub-bodies at the same time?"

"At the same time? Of course you can, provided you have enough original power!"

Boras chuckled a few times, lowered his head slightly, and said: "In the long history of the era, there have been several wizards who had the same idea as you in the Ghost School..."

"Do you know what happened to them afterwards?"

Wei En shook his head honestly, but he vaguely guessed that the fate of those people would not be good.

"Without exception, they are all stuck on the threshold of becoming a legend!"

Boras' tone turned serious, staring at the young wizard on the illusory screen, and warned: "Give up your unrealistic ideas!"

"When you advance to the level of Grand Wizard, you will understand the origins of what it takes to make a child reach the threshold of becoming a legend."

"That's an astronomical number, more likely a wizard's lifetime..."

The origin of a huge amount?

Wayne raised his head and glanced at the four original sub-bodies. Perhaps he would be the wizard most likely to successfully fuse them all.

You must know that his bloodline talent is spiritual transformation, which can transform basic attributes into original power.

His two basic attributes are the meditation method for spiritual level, and the transformation of flesh and blood heart for toughness level.

Even if there are no other rewards given on the panel, he still gets two or three points of basic attributes every day.

According to the effect of the spiritual conversion talent, every eight points of basic attributes can be converted into one point of origin.

What's even more terrifying is that as the talent level increases, the basic attributes consumed to transform the origin will gradually decrease.

The spiritual transformation talent is simply a weapon prepared for him to become a legend...

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it the fourth anomaly after the deception talent, panel, and ghost meditation method?

Wei En sighed inwardly, cleared these thoughts, and continued to listen to Boras' story.

"...At the same time, after you advance to the Grand Wizard, you will understand the essence of the spell, which is just the outward power of the original power through the runes."

"So, what do you think runes are now? In other words, what is the meaning of the existence of runes?"

Wayne thought for a few seconds and replied: "Tool?"

"It's not that cold, but it's right."

Boras raised his hands, and a rune array appeared between his palms. Black light slid along the lines and flickered on the nodes.

"When your study of runes goes further, you will find that runes are the basis of this world, just like the elements considered by the esoteric school..."

"It's everywhere!"

World Basics…

Wei En stared blankly at the rune array. He recognized that it was the soul-eating rune that was the foundation of the secret wizard system.

However, it only has the same general texture, with a lot of complicated things in the middle.

Does it feel like a spell rune fused with the original rune of Death?

"Did you see it? The extra part of the Soul-Eating Rune is my original rune."

Boras waved his hand to disperse the rune marks, looked at Wei En and smiled: "Of course, in order to prevent you from stealing the original power, I hid most of the lines and nodes."

"Forehead……"

"Don't look at me like that. I don't want you to fuse the original runes into your spell. It will only consume my power."

"In fact, if I hadn't known your current level, I would have begun to wonder whether the spells you cast before had undergone source fusion."

"There might be an old guy at the headquarters who asked you to fuse his original runes, right?"

Wei En laughed calmly without any expression.

Although that is indeed true, rushing to deny it will not dispel the other party's speculation, but may very well confirm your own guilt.

Of course, silence is also possible.

But fortunately, he has never exposed the death origin rune before, otherwise he might have been surrounded by the old guys of the school.

But from Boras's words, he also understood the principle of the Death God's original rune - extracting his original power.

but……

"Deputy Boras, I have a question."

"If we integrate our original power into the child body, does casting a spell consume our own spiritual power or our origin?"

"Good question." Boras nodded slightly, "This question is complex but not complex. To put it simply, it can be divided into two stages."

"Before Legend, only spiritual power was consumed, but after reaching Legend level...original power is the standard for measuring strength."

Legend, origin...

Wei En's heart skipped a beat, "Are you saying that all legends are like this? Are those extraordinary people the same?"

"of course."

Boras was very satisfied that he understood so quickly, "Except for those believers of gods, whether extraordinary or wizards, after reaching legend, they can consume the source to burst into more powerful power."

"This is what I want to remind you. Once your enemy reaches the legendary level, never rely too much on the spells you master."

"Because it is very likely that the spell you cast will be used by someone..."

Boras flicked his fingers and made a gesture that would break if touched.

"..."

Wei En nodded knowingly, that picture was indeed too shocking.

But he is not too worried that his spells cannot cause damage to the legendary level. After all, they are all integrated with the power of the original rune of Death.

It's just hard to determine how much of the Death God's origin is borrowed...

However, before the battle with Alais begins, he must advance as early as possible.

In that case, he can integrate his own original power to further enhance the power of various spells.

boom!

At this moment, Wei En heard the sound of the door being knocked open on the screen.

"Boras, the Mysterious School is in trouble!"
