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

Chapter 33 Eternal Life, Return Gift

Seeing that they were going to continue upstairs, Wei En suggested, "Well, I'd better go with you..."

You have to die to understand!
When the power of despair penetrated just now, he really felt a little wronged...

He was obviously hiding downstairs, why was he the first to be unlucky?
Is it because he is the weakest?

"Okay, but let's go in first," Lacey nodded in agreement, "Ariana?"

"No problem, the Heroic Spirits are very excited."

The tentacles around Arianna swelled up, apparently fed by the force of despair just now.

After finishing speaking, the two of them went straight to the second floor and rushed into the iron gate.

"Come on Wei En, let's go there too."

Marco held the staff, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I was worried that you would be affected, but I didn't expect you to adjust so quickly."

"No, I'm just afraid of being thrown to the ground again."

Wei En looked at him expressionlessly, it was self-evident what he wanted to express.

"That, haha..."

Marco laughed twice, pointed at Lacey who was parked by the iron gate in front of him and said, "I'll go over and take a look first. I might find something."

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Wayne curled his lips looking at his "escape" look, "Tina, do you think Brother Marco is unreliable?"

"Tina thinks Wayne is reliable."

"Oh? Coincidentally, I think so too."

After Wei En took the white-haired girl upstairs, he saw them standing motionless inside the door, "What's the matter, you guys..."

...Fuck?

With just one glance, his eyes were firmly locked by the horrifying scene behind the door.

As if the time around him had frozen, a cold chill hit his heart directly.

In the empty and quiet room in front of me, there are corpses hung one after another, like dried sausages tied to the ceiling by ropes.

Their bodies are extremely thin, and their skin clings to their bones, as if they have been drained of the last drop of blood.

At the same time, these mummies all maintained the same posture——

The hands are crossed on the shoulders, and the feet are close together, showing a strange sense of ceremony.

On the body of each mummy, there is a bright red eye pattern, and the blood red color is in sharp contrast with the gray and white body.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp on the wall, the shadows looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

Wei En murmured: "Is this in the abyss of hell...?"

Even that huge eye didn't have such a big impact on him from the real scene in front of him.

"320 six."

Lacey's voice became low and hoarse, with biting coldness: "It seems that we have found the missing more than 300 people..."

Arianna's face was ashen, and he waved his tentacles violently, making a whistling sound.

"People from the Desperate Sect, what did you do?"

"It should be, you look at the ground,"

Marco pushed away a mummy in front of him with his staff, pointed to the ground and said, "The sacrificial ceremony is a rune circle commonly used by the Sect of Despair."

Sacrifice ceremony?

Rune array?

Wayne looked in the direction he pointed.

The floor of the room was covered with complex and distorted runes, dark red symbols penetrated like blood, and several gullies connected these runes to form an intricate pattern.

And in the center of the magic circle, there is a statue - it is a hideous eye, and there are countless twisted arms carved around the eye.

They are intertwined, criss-crossing and blending into the eye, like vines covering the surface of the statue.

These arms are ugly and twisted, dry and thin, just like those mummies.

The entire statue is shrouded in darkness, exuding distortion and madness, as if it is the root of all evil and despair.

"The belief totem of the Despair sect...it seems to be right."

Lacey took a deep breath and walked inside.

She picked up the shriveled corpses above her head with a two-handed axe, as if those hanging were really sausages.

She didn't stop until she reached the statue in the middle of the room.

"I'm really envious of your first case, and this time it's going to make a lot of money again." Arianna said sourly when she saw her movements.

Make a fortune?
Wei En quietly pricked up his ears, how to make money?
Marco curled his lips and said: "Captain Arianna, don't forget, you will also have a part of this profit."

"These too,"

Arianna pointed to the mummies and said: "They are all corroded by the power of despair. They are sold to the guys from the Shadow School for at least 5 shillings each."

"According to the rules of the Ministry, you can get % of the income for assisting in solving the case."

"You really understand."

Marco sneered, then stopped talking to him, but watched Lacey's movements inside.

So that's how you make money...

Wei En glanced at the scene of the room again, won't he have nightmares if he earns so much money?
Not long after, Lacey dug out the statue and walked out holding it.

"Lacey, is my mission completed this time?"

The tentacles all over Ariana retracted into the body and returned to their original appearance, "That benefit..."

Lacey glanced at him, "You won't be missing."

"Including this statue too?"

"Everything follows the rules."

Arianna rubbed her hands with a smile on her face: "How embarrassing..."

"To shut up!"

"..."

Arianna quickly closed her mouth and made a few gestures to indicate how to deal with the mummies.

Lacey looked back and said lightly: "Marco, go back and tell the city guards to come over and help move these 'trophies'."

"okay."

Marco waved the staff in his hand: "Rosser, Manda." (Gast wind.)
A whirlwind surrounded his body, and then he disappeared in one step.

spell?

Wei En thought enviously: When can he use such a handsome spell...

At this moment, Lacey beckoned and said, "Wayne, Tina, let's go out and wait, and leave it to Arianna."

"Huh? Lacey, I'm an assistant..."

"Ok?"

Arianna looked at her icy look, and murmured, "I just want to say, no problem."

Lacey glanced at him and went straight out of the room.

"Captain Arianna, please." After Wei En left this sentence, he took Tina and followed him out of the room.

"Damn it!!"

Hearing the roar in the room, Wei En shrank his neck, "Tina, do you think Captain Ariana won't go crazy?"

Tina was as direct as ever, "Tina said he didn't dare."

Wei En looked back and saw that Arianna didn't poke her head out, so he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Next time, you can say this more tactfully."

"Tina is very tactful, he dare not."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Wei En looked at the expressionless white-haired girl and shook his head helplessly.

He temporarily gave up teaching Tina what is sophistication.

When the two of them left the house, they saw Lacey leaning against the door, lighting a cigarette and smoking it, looking at the sky in trance.

Seeing her like this, Wayne guessed that she was touched by the scene inside.

I didn't expect that such a carefree person as Lacey would have such a tender side.

"Captain, those people inside are really miserable, so don't worry too much about it. Although this is the first case I have come into contact with, I..."

Lacey turned to look at him and asked blankly, "What are you talking about? Don't worry, me?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment, "Um, isn't it?"

"Ha ha……"

Lacey laughed, and kept patting him on the shoulder, "I, I'm just calculating how many pounds I can earn from this case..."

Wei En's expression became awkward, "Ah, here,"

After laughing for a while, Lacey's face showed the smile when he first met again, looked at him and said, "However, thank you for comforting me, Wayne."

"I-you're welcome."

Who knew you were settling scores with that look on your face?
Wei En asked speechlessly: "Is that clear, the income this time?"

"It's not bad. This statue alone is worth 13 gold pounds. If you meet someone who knows the goods, the price can go up a lot."

Thirteen gold pounds?

Including those mummies, a 5 shilling would be worth 80 gold pounds,

So all together—nearly 100 gold?

A lot of money!
Wei En instantly put the embarrassment behind him, "Just now it seems that there are people who participated in the mission? Am I also involved?"

"Of course, as a participant, you have a 5.00% profit, but..." Lacey looked at him with a half-smile, "It seems that someone still owes me 2 gold pounds."

Wei En's expression became awkward again, "Just, just deduct it from this time's income, is it okay?"

How much is 5.00%?

5 gold pounds...

Paying back the money is enough.

The smile on Lacey's face became even brighter, her eyes became crescent moons, "Then it's settled."

"..."

Wei En looked at her smile, was she urging him to pay back the money?
Forget it, some earn money, which is good!
……

……

On the other side, after several city guards collected the corpses, they stood aside and looked in the direction of Wei En and the others.

"Captain Guisep, you have such a good relationship with Marco, can you let him open up a few more places?"

"Your kid also wants to participate?"

"Hey, I heard that there are many rich girls from the Dumitru block at the reception, we want to follow along to see..."

Guisep looked at him, then at the others. "You all want to go?"

"Boss, we want to go too."

"Yes, Captain, take us there too?"

Guisep raised his eyebrows and pretended to think: "I'll think about it and see how you perform."

"Don't say anything, tomorrow morning, I will bring some cheese from home..."

"I also……"

At this time, a figure flashed out from the shadows, "What are you talking about? So happy?"

Guisep tensed up first, and when he saw the person coming, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Marco, you almost scared us."

"It seems we didn't talk about anything good,"

Marco looked at him with a smirk, walked up to him and said, "Tell me too."

"Of course I'm talking about your reception, we..."

hiss!
Guisep looked at the dagger piercing through his chest, and asked in a daze, "Horse, Marco, you, you...why?"

"Reception, I'm not very interested..."

"Captain!! Marco, I'm going to kill you!!"

Marco looked at the city guards rushing over with their weapons in hand, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, it just so happens that I've had enough."

Eternal life, return gift!
