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

Chapter 273 Salvatore’s Identity

Wayne didn't know what happened inside the Ice Castle Research Center.

After deciding on the next plan, he stayed at the Black Pearl station in the city-state of Alexei.

To be precise, I walked around the castle.

"Lord Honatan!"

"Boss."

"Good afternoon, my lord."

Along the way, Wei En got a general understanding of the entire station.

It can be seen from the titles that those who call him "boss" and "captain" are basically the crew members brought over by Honatan from the Black Pearl.

And those who call him "Sir" are either direct crew members of "One Eye" and "Beautiful Hand", or they were recruited after coming to Alexei Island.

After understanding this, Wei En found those Hornatan's original subordinates-a few pirates who were quite pleasing to the eye.

"Boss, do you have any instructions?"

A thin middle-aged man wearing a pirate jacket, with two muskets hanging from his waist.

The two pirates next to him were similarly dressed.

From the gems inlaid on the handle of the gun, it can be seen that they are quite wealthy.

"That's right," Wei En sat at his desk and pretended to mutter: "What do you think of what happened last night?"

Now the people he is familiar with, namely Ronan and the others, are still outside the city-state, so they can only find some reliable people through their identities as "slayers".

Whether it is modifying the original city-state magic circle or secretly setting up a new rune magic circle, people will be needed to do it later.

After all, he still needs to play the role of Hornatan with all his heart...

After hearing his question, several pirates looked at each other.

"Boss, we were all at the scene when 'One Eye' died. I think it's better not to provoke him."

"Yes, boss, we just heard that even Master Black Jack didn't say anything. And Captain Eldolade, he has been with us before..."

"That's right!"

Wei En nodded noncommittally, activated his deception talent, and continued: "I didn't intend to avenge 'One Eye', but 'Pretty Hand' just said that we should cooperate with Wizard Wei En."

"Someone has to do things, so I'm going to let you guys take my place and cooperate with 'Pretty Hands' to do this together."

The pirates were startled: "Boss, are you asking us to take the initiative to find the 'distorted wizard'?"

"It's just temporary."

"But there is one thing..."

Wei En's spiritual power spread, "You are doing it in secret, and you can only have contact with the second mate on the wizard's ship."

"Ronan?"

"It's him," Wei En nodded, not forgetting to remind: "Remember, this matter cannot be disclosed to anyone, understand?"

"Boss, don't worry."

"Never tell anyone!"

"..."

Fraud successful!

When using the entry-level deception talent, Wei En can sense the target's state reaction.

Compared with before, it was necessary to rely on their behavior to judge.

Now he can sense that the special power overflowing from the outside is entangled in the origins of several pirates.

Vaguely, Wei En even felt that even if he asked these people to commit suicide, it would be a waste of words at most.

"For the next time, you will temporarily obey the orders of Second Officer Ronan. After the matter is completed, I will discuss your rewards with Frenda."

"clear."

Several pirates looked happy and turned to leave the office.

As the heavy wooden door closed, Wayne thought for a few seconds before setting up a new deceptive illusion.

Then let the red ghost cast the Shadow Step spell and enter the kingdom of death.

Through that unique perspective, he looked out at the entire Alexey Island, looking for Ronan.

"I really can't wait..."

He looked at Ronan's position and grinned.

It was a golden tavern outside the city-state.

Not only that, but at this moment Ronan also found two girls to dance some seductive dances in front of him.

That proud figure and extremely ambiguous atmosphere...

I don’t know how Triangle Eyes resisted the temptation and just drank on the sidelines.

Wayne stepped out and transformed into Helvin, the bosun of the Leonard, and walked into the Golden Tavern with great swagger.

"Welcome, sir, you..."

"Find someone!"

Wei En stopped the girls who were approaching, and his spiritual perception guided him to the room where Ronan was.

Dang, Dang Dang...

"Who? Who is interrupting my good deeds at this time?"

"Second officer, it's me."

"Helvin?"

Ronan opened the door and looked at the figure at the door, "Why are you here? You are not in the tavern next to you right now..."

As he spoke, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face: "Still, the girls there are not sexy enough. You came here because you want to..."

"It's the captain's order!"

Wei En glared at him, and after entering the door, he waved his hand to let the two cool girls go out first.

"Captain Wayne?"

After the people left, Ronan closed the door and asked doubtfully: "I just met the captain this morning, and he didn't tell me that there were new arrangements."

He looked at Helvin's face, and a trace of amusement flashed in his triangular eyes.

Could this little guy have discovered the disguise of this legend?

No way...

"I am not sure as well,"

Wei En pretended to be innocent and shook his head: "The boss just said, let me tell you that people from the Black Pearl will come to you next."

"What you need to do..."

With that said, Wei En also activated his deception talent!

The spiritual power spread silently, covering Ronan in front of him.

"I took them to complete the layout of a rune array on the island."

"Rune magic circle?"

Ronan felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It was as if the person in front of him was the closest and most familiar person to him, and there was an inexplicable voice speaking in his heart.

Listen to him, be obedient...

The legendary wizard Salvatore Samuel Capo, who was pretending to be Ronan, was shocked.

Is this source erosion?

He silently set up defenses on the source, and the weird feeling really made him a little concerned.

"I don't know how to set up a magic circle, what do you need me to do?"

Success and failure.

Perceiving the feedback given by the deception talent, the contradictory feeling also made Wei En's heart skip a beat.

He had used his deception ability against Ronan before, but at that time he had just awakened his deception talent and was not yet proficient enough.

And now the entry-level fraud talent still fails...

Wei En carefully looked at Ronan in front of him and said thoughtfully: "The captain is ready and should hand it over to you later."

"That's good……"

Salvatore was still looking for traces of that weird feeling in the original core world, but after searching over and over, he still found nothing.

Does the little guy still have such means?

He looked at Wei En, who had transformed into Helvin in front of him.

What kind of ability is that, and why is it so weird?

The urge to dismantle him and study it carefully arose again in my heart...

No, if I don’t figure it out, I won’t be able to sleep!

[You are under investigation by Salvatore Samuel Capo. Evaluation: There should be no need to say more, right? Reward: Survival Points +500. 】

Salvatore Samuel Capo! ?

Just as Wei En was about to turn around and leave, he saw words like this appear on the panel in his mind.

The deep color and the reward of up to 500 survival points all indicate the power of the person in front of you!

And this is the third time he has seen this name.

But what he didn't expect was that such a legendary transcendent would be hiding next to him...

What does he want to do? What's the purpose?

Is it those people from Alais...

Salvatore noticed his expression and sighed, knowing that his identity might have been exposed.

Simply stop pretending.

He sat on a chair nearby and curled his lips and said, "Wizard Wayne, your ability is really weird."

"You...who are you?"

Wei En took a step back, looking alert, ready to escape at any time.

But at such a distance, he didn't have much confidence in escaping from a legend.

"I?"

The mechanical body on Ronan's body fell off naturally and hit the expensive velvet carpet.

Then his body twisted and changed, and he instantly became another person - a black dress, with a slim and tall body, and a ruby ​​necklace hanging around his neck.

He has long gray hair and a slightly pale face with traces of time.

The eyebrows are bright, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are thick and angular...

What surprised Wei En the most was the black fire symbol composed of complex lines between his eyebrows!

"The legendary wizard of the school!?"

"Of course," the wizard in formal attire looked at him with a half-smile, "As you can see."

ghost……

Wei En felt relieved, luckily he was not a legend from another school.

This way at least we can still communicate...

Thinking of this, he also took the initiative to cancel the disillusionment spell, respectfully performed a wizard's salute and asked: "Wayne Loft of the Ghost School, I didn't know you were..."

"Salvatore Samuel Capo, or you can call me the legendary wizard of Salvatore!"

"Legend of Sare, I'm sorry," Wei En stood aside, "I offended you before."

Salvatore looked him up and down and chuckled: "It's not offensive. After all, I didn't inform you in advance and just showed up next to you. I hope you don't mind."

"of course not."

It would be weird if you don’t know!

Wayne curled his lips secretly. The legendary wizard suddenly appeared and directly disrupted his previous affairs in the arena.

If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid Frenda and Honatan would have died last night along with Eldolade.

Although the current situation is also the same, in that case, he can directly control the entire Alexei Island with the help of the Black Pearl.

Well, that result doesn’t seem to be very good…

"I have placed your crew member elsewhere. I will return it to you when this matter is over."

"Hmm, eh? What happened this time?"

"I forgot to tell you," Salvatore straightened his dress and said seriously: "According to the mission letter issued by the school, I am specifically responsible for protecting you this time."

"School? Protect me?"

Wei En was startled. He just mentioned this matter to Deputy Boras today...

So, before that, the school had arranged for the legendary Salvatore to come to Alexei Island?

"I wonder who sent you the mission?"

"Didn't Boras tell you?" Salvatore raised an eyebrow. "No." Wayne shook his head.

"That's his problem. Anyway, according to the mission requirements, I'm already here."

"..."

Salvatore's words are somewhat unreasonable.

But Wei En knew that with his legendary strength, he should also...

"What? Don't you want to talk about the trouble you encountered?"

"I," Wei En hesitated and asked, "Sorry, Legend Salvatore, it's not that I don't believe you. Please come up with a specific mission letter, or find a way that I can confirm... "

"understood."

Salvatore raised his hand, the black trophy liaison device appeared on the table nearby, pressed the start button and said:

"Annette, please put me in touch with Boras."

"Please tell me the internal number!"

"Boras, Boras..."

"Please tell me the internal number..."

Salvatore looked at Wei En helplessly and asked, "Do you know Boras's internal number?"

"Internal number: 112." Wei En was silent for a few seconds before replying.

He suddenly felt that this legend was very...personalized.

Don’t you even know the internal number of the vice chairman of the school?

Or are you testing him too?

"Confirmed successfully, I have sent your request for a connection channel to Wizard Boras G. McClure..."

"This Annette is really, really boring."

"Annette?"

Wei En looked at the gray mist peeking out from above the communicator in surprise.

Annette?

Is this the ghost wizard responsible for the internal liaison?

"A wraith, old-fashioned, if you are in the school, you can see her."

"Oh."

Before long, the gray fog formed an illusory screen.

"I was about to contact you, Salvatore, from my side... you?"

As soon as Boras opened his mouth, he saw Wayne standing aside on the illusory screen, and his heart skipped a beat.

Then he changed the subject: "Wizard Wei En, you happen to be here too."

"Good afternoon, Vice Chairman Boras." Wei En saluted.

"Do you believe it now?"

Salvatore looked at him with a smile, then turned to look at the gray fog screen without waiting for his reply.

"Boras, I am carrying out the task you arranged. If there is nothing else, we will talk about it next time."

Wayne nodded. With Deputy Boras as his witness, he felt more at ease.

Before, he was still thinking about finding two legendary wizards to come over, but now that he has one by his side, he also has some sense of security and confidence.

"Have!"

On the illusory screen, Boras quickly said: "Your good brother is back."

He didn't care whether Wei En was present or not and told the matter.

"My eldest brother?"

Salvatore frowned, looked at Boras and said displeasedly: "Didn't you say he would be gone for a long time?"

"Well, something happened in the middle."

Boras' tone was slightly embarrassed. Thinking of Annep who was taken away before and Armitage who almost died, the skeletal face was actually a little sad.

"Anyway, he will come towards you later. When you see him, be careful."

"Huh? That bastard is out yet?"

"If nothing else, it should appear in front of you in two to three days."

Salvatore rubbed his eyebrows, looking troubled, "I know Boras, thank you for remembering to inform me in advance."

"goodbye!"

Boras nodded to Wei En and disconnected directly.

"You bastard Boras, you lied to me!"

When the gray fog disappeared, Salvatore was still chattering unhappily.

"I was told clearly before that that bastard would not come back in the short term, so I ran away..."

asshole?

Wei En was confused, but he didn't ask.

What he was even more curious about now was what purpose this person had in coming to Alexei Island.

If we talk about protection, it can be explained.

But this is definitely not the main reason...

Is it because of defects in the spell runes, mechanical undead, or the spells he has used before?

It is possible!

Salvatore's tone was neither urgent nor slow, but his tone gave people a feeling of resentment and complaint.

From start to finish, Boras was scolded for a total of ten minutes.

And this is when the other party is not in front of you.

Wayne was very doubtful that if the Skeleton Vice Chairman was on Alexei Island at this time, the two would fight.

"Cough cough,"

It wasn't until he said a few more words that Salvatore looked at Wayne: "I was a little angry just now. In fact, I'm not usually like this."

“Especially when conducting project experiments, I almost always remain efficient, focused and smart!”

"Haha..." Wei En smiled dryly and nodded.

"I remember you were doing research before?"

"Yes, the Legend of Salvatore. But that project has now completed its phase results, and the next phase still needs to wait."

"Is it a mechanical undead?"

"Yes……"

"It's a good project direction. Yesterday, several legendary wizards asked me about your situation. They also said that the mechanical undead project you are responsible for will change the status quo of the entire ghost and undead system. Well..."

Salvatore's expression calmed down and he asked seriously: "Actually, I want to say, are you interested in changing to another research institute?"

"Ok?"

Wei En looked at him in surprise.

How did he jump directly from one topic to this?

Obviously at the beginning, I was still very worried about his affairs on Alexei Island. Later, there was Boras, and now I am asking about the subject...

Wei En now has some doubts about the other party's real purpose, which is the research report he submitted to the school.

"Sorry, Legend Salvatore, let's go back to the island first, what do you think?"

"Oh, yes, that's right," Salvatore patted his forehead and smiled: "I'm used to it. I've been staying in the laboratory before, but..."

"Tell me what you plan to do here?"

Seeing that the topic was brought back, Wei En finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At present, the subject of mechanical undead has not been further developed, and the preparation work for the next stage has not been completed. He does not want to tell the details of it to a legend now.

"That's right, maybe you know that I was an intelligence officer in Custer City State before. At that time..."

Immediately afterwards, Wei En told the whole story.

In addition to the grievances between Castor City and Alais, and the killing of the priests, which caused the pursuit of the Church of Dawn.

He emphasized that Alais had already arranged everything on the island to deal with him.

"...So, you are saying that the arrogant person who wants to steal the source of the disaster wants to deal with you here?"

Stealing the source of disaster?

steal……

Shouldn't it be taken by force?

"You understand correctly."

Salvatore touched his chin, "I thought it would be related to the Twilight Sect, and maybe I could meet the legendary 'Lord of Truth and Killing'..."

Um, Twilight Sect?

Wayne shook his head: "I'm afraid that matter will have to wait for a while. As far as I know, they are still collecting 'Garmendia's Dream' at sea."

"It's a pity... I don't know if I can stay here for so long..."

Salvatore pondered for a moment and said, "But Ales Coulibaly sounds like a very interesting person."

"Are you sure you want me to take action against them?"

"Alternatively, you can also arrange a rune array for me."

Wei En thought for a moment and said, "None of them are legends. I should..."

At this point, he paused.

There was something wrong with having a legend watching the fight.

Those spells that were fused with the original runes of Death... He didn't know whether a legend could detect the abnormalities in those spells.

"Probably? It seems that the little guy has good strength. He can handle the extraordinary beings at the level of Hand of the Kingdom before he is promoted to the Grand Wizard."

Salvatore chuckled. He knew that Wayne had a secret, but every wizard who grew up was a secret himself.

Especially in a world like this, filled with era relics and ancient ruins.

Even in the history of the Ghost School, there are wizards who obtained a god's treasure trove and successfully advanced to legend in just two years.

"Haha..." Wei En didn't say anything.

So many words and so many mistakes...

He now feels more and more that his previous decision was the right one.

If he really wanted to return to the Northern Continent after leaving Custer City-State, I'm afraid he would have been picked clean by the wizards in the school by now.

"In addition to Alais, I remember that the Judgment Saint of Dawn Church is also chasing you, right?"

"Yes, the Legend of Salvatore should only last a few days." Wei En smiled bitterly: "This is also one of the reasons why I seek support from the school."

"I heard that the judgment saint Celestia Edas has extraordinary strength, but I'm not sure..."

"Extraordinary?" Salvatore shook his head and sighed: "She is not a priest who can be summed up in such a simple way."

"Oh?"

"That person's strength should be extremely close to that of a demigod now...well, that's the level above the legend."

Demi god……

Wei En was shocked. He had overestimated the Judgment Saint before, but unexpectedly he underestimated her.

Fortunately, Legend Salvatore was here, otherwise he would have to wait until the other party arrived according to his previous plan, and he would probably have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.

"Don't mention her. If we really bump into her, the worst case scenario is that I will take you away... well, leave this island."

Salvatore blinked, you probably didn’t hear that, right?

Wayne: "..."

This legendary wizard is really straightforward.

"I mainly want to get rid of Alais this time."

"Okay, I agree!"

"you……"

"I mean completing the arrangement of the rune array for you and taking action when necessary. As for the rest..."

Salvatore looked at Wei En with a half-smile and said, "I believe you have the strength to deal with it, don't you?"

"I understand."
