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

Chapter 335 Successful people will eventually come
"Praise the storm."

"Freedom, peace, conquest...May the Storm Lady honor Custer."

Believers dressed in the blue robes of the Church of the Storm gathered in the square outside the Krims Cathedral, piously singing in praise of Lady Storm.

Above, near the middle of the church, there was a faint layer of blue light, emitting a fresh breath that spread around like a breeze.

Compared with the divine brilliance of the dawn before, the power of Storm Faith is closer to reality and no longer unattainable.

Moreover, as the believers sing, from time to time a believer will embark on the path of faith - a mark like a sail will appear on his forehead, and the power of storm faith will emerge from his body, moving toward the ghostly mass above. Blue convergence.

At this time, other people around him chanted in a more pious tone, with a hint of envy emphasizing the tone, expecting that they would be next.

"Become a believer in Storm and you will enjoy the shelter of Storm Church."

"Becoming a believer in the storm will reduce your tax payment by 20%."

"Pious believers who embark on the path of faith in the Great Storm Lady will, in addition to a 50% tax reduction, receive three 'Sanctuary Fires' every month and receive free treatment once a year..."

On the contrary, it is the Director of the Secret Investigation Department, Nifa Letitia Ellis, the former Chief of the Investigation Department of the Secret Investigation Department, Yegor Payne, Lacey’s brother Santiago Montoya, and even the former War Department Minister Abbot Sahib is at...

Wayne glanced around a few times, but didn't see Lacey.

Yegor leaned on his chair and read the newspaper, holding a cigar in his mouth and blowing out thick smoke from time to time. His beard was a little gray, and his appearance was much worse than two months ago.

"This is really, unexpectedly generous..."

"Also, the Kingdom of Chatland requested that the Secret Service Department and subordinates from various city-states send a group of people to the original site of Vazquez, saying that they were looking for a ruins. I don't know what they were doing."

Accompanied by loud singing in unison, Wei En watched groups of clergymen from the Church of the Storm wearing dark blue armor and hanging swords at their waists, patrolling around from the central city.

Thinking of this, Wei En stopped looking any further. His mental perception covered the entire city-state, trying to find the figure who was familiar with him.

It is said that the Church of Storms spent money to purchase candles from Dawn Church in bulk to subsidize all devout believers.

If the announcement is still a means to gain believers, then these clergymen's regular inspections of the city-state can bring a sense of security to the residents here.

"I didn't expect that he is doing so well now. I really want to go there and join him. Maybe I will have a more leisurely life than now."

These are nothing. What makes Wei En dumbfounded is that the so-called "Shelter Fire" is the faith candle used by the Dawn Church to resist the pollution of the red moon.

The only person in this city-state that he still wanted to stay in was Lacey...

……

"Huh? Aren't you here?"

And what happened that time was not just the Dawn Church’s fault, but also the Ernst family and the Noble Council, the Parliament and the Secret Service were all partly responsible.

"It's a pity that Director Alais was killed by him, hey..."

"The priests to whom the storm belongs are divided into four teams for routine patrols!"

Wei En frowned, feeling strange in his heart, and started to walk towards the Secret Adjustment Department.

Yegor sighed, picked up the envelope on the table, opened it, and glanced at the contents -

But he knew that this was just a helpless assumption and had no meaning.

Kaka.

"The applications for Alexei Island are full. Is that where the boy Wei En is?"

"There's chaos in the waters of Cordo, the nasty Black Pearl."

In comparison, he, the investigator of the Secret Investigation Department who had spent half his life in the city of Custer, looked like a waste.

Wei En no longer knew how to describe the Church of Storms.

"Put it on the table."

"Deputy Director Yegor, received a letter from Minister Lacey."

After all, it is one of the four major righteous churches in the world, but the Church of Storms is so friendly...

In order to make more city-state residents become believers, the Church of Storms not only reduced taxes but also gave away gifts.

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Director."

Listening to the chants of the storm believers, Wei En looked at the announcement posted on the newly erected stone tablet outside the central city and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

After reading the newspaper, Yegor was deeply shocked.

"Praise the storm!"

There was a somewhat complicated and inexplicable look on his face, and the sense of dissonance in his heart disappeared.

"Bastard Yegor personally said: Damn it, they said that my training and assessment scores were too good. Kelland wants me to stay. You should quickly ask the director to tell the people here that I don't want to stay here!"

"Anyway, get me out of here quickly!!"

In comparison, when Dawn Church was here before, its operations such as additional taxes, sales of various daily necessities, and high treatment costs were simply new.

Wei En couldn't help but sigh, "If the Dawn Church was like this at that time, maybe the result wouldn't be like that..."

"We are devout believers of Lady Storm. Please strictly abide by the doctrines and city-state regulations. We are strictly prohibited from intruding on ordinary people. If there is no danger, we are strictly prohibited from actively using the power of faith..."

"Well, the occult sect is out of trouble, and two demigod wizards have appeared in the Eastern Continent. The companions... huh? Is that boy Wei En back to the Eastern Continent?"

Thinking back to three months ago, Wei En was a novice investigator who had just joined the Department of Secrets. Now he not only owns an island, but also travels with a transcendent of the level of a demigod...

After reading the contents of the letter, Yegor grinned and looked happy.

"Ha, the secret blender on Klander's side has done a great job, just let Lacey stay there, and don't let her back!"

"Such talents must stay in Klande and shine for the entire kingdom!"

Yegor took two big puffs on his cigar, blew out a long stream of smoke upwards, and laughed.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded:

"Minister Lacey, have you gone to Kland?"

"Well, who?"

Yegor suddenly retreated and looked at the corner of the room with a wary expression.

But after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, his expression froze, he opened his mouth and shouted in surprise: "Wei En?!"

"Long time no see, Deputy Director Yegor."

Wei En kept pace with the times and did not call him minister, but directly stated his current position as deputy director.

"You, you're back."

Yegor's face slowly calmed down, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay to come back for a visit, but Lacey is indeed not in Custer now, and has gone to the city-state of Clandestine."

"Oh."

Wayne glanced at the newspapers and envelopes on his table, "If you don't mind, can I take a look?"

"Of course, just ask." Yegor had no intention of refusing.

Don't say that Wei En was not to blame for what happened before. Even if it was his fault, he can't refuse now.

Just kidding, a great wizard's strength is at least above the executive level, and may not even reach the Kingdom's Hand level. He would have refused unless he was crazy.

Wei En nodded, picked up the newspaper and envelope and browsed them quickly, and said calmly: "When I came here, I saw the wood plants from the southern continent. If you like, I can also contact the Baskabiru family. "

With a smile on his face, Yegor stood aside and said with a smile: "I like it, of course, of course. Since those plants were planted, the air in the entire Dumitru neighborhood has become much fresher, and there have been a lot more people visiting here every day." ”

"Originally, I thought Lacey bought it specially, but I didn't expect it was a gift from you."

"It can be considered as the purchase by Minister Lacey," Wei En said perfunctorily. He put down the newspaper and envelope and looked at him with a smile: "Deputy Director Yegor, don't be nervous."

"No, I'm not nervous."

Yegor laughed twice, it was strange that he was not nervous.

God knows the purpose of this person coming to Custer City... He shouldn't be here to kill people, right?
"I'm just dropping by this time." Wei En rarely explained, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, since Lacey isn't here, I won't stay any longer and will return to Alexei Island."

"You want to leave?"

"Ah."

Wayne glanced around and slowly disappeared into the office, leaving only one sentence: "If you get to Alexei Island, you can go to the castle."

"Yes, yes..." Yegor nodded sharply.

It wasn't until a long time passed that he noticed that Wayne had completely left, and then he sat back down at his desk.

Yegor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Huh... terrible..."

Although it only lasted a few minutes, the pressure that Wayne brought to him was considerable.

This is just an ordinary meeting, if you are fighting with him...

"Snapped!"

Yegor lightly slapped his cheek and cursed: "What weird things are you thinking about? How can you fight him."

What's the difference between that and courting death?
On the other side, Wayne came to the port outside the Basil neighborhood, turned around again and looked at the Custer City State behind him, his expression extremely calm.

For the city-state of Custer, he is like a passerby who once left some traces here.

But as time goes by, people in the city-state will forget his existence, and in the end there may be only a legend left.

There was once a wizard intelligence officer who massacred tens of thousands of Vazquez and thousands of priests of the Church of the Dawn while serving as an investigator in the Department of Secrets...

That's it!

"This is, after all, just a temporary stop..."

After the words fell, Wei En's figure disappeared, teleporting towards the increasingly clear Eye of Space mark.

……

……

At the same time, in the castle located in the endless void, in the deep and towering hall, Miriam sat alone on the golden throne, looking at the empty corridor under the steps, and uttered a few words coldly:

"Lingmi, did you also fail?"

"yes,"

Audrina's figure slowly appeared on the throne on her side, her eyes a little helpless under the golden mask: "Vaclav and Velosa have joined forces, plus a strange wizard who can accurately lock the anchor point of forbidden objects. , the esoteric school was able to get out of trouble."

"What about their losses?"

"It's neither good nor bad. Almost all wizard apprentices are dead. The accumulation of the past thirty years can be regarded as a fault."

Miriam nodded calmly and continued: "Then let the people in the Eastern Continent take action, try to delay the recovery of the Mysterious School, and focus on their newly recruited apprentices."

"Well, I've already ordered you to go down."

The conversation fell into a long silence, and neither of them spoke again.

Until Audrina thought of something and asked, "How much do they know about us?"

"a lot of."

"Is that so...I thought our existence was very hidden..."

Miriam said calmly: "Wizards are different from the extraordinary beings in this world. Although we have not made many attacks since the second era, their people have jumped out to stop us every time."

"First it was Gonzalez, then Liszt and Anastasio, and then in the fourth era, Brian appeared... There will always be a wizard whose strength exceeds imagination..."

"But they all lost in the end, didn't they?" Audrina looked sideways at her.

"According to those lunatics, failure is only temporary. If you pay more attention to them, you will know that almost every wizard will experience failure in their research, and the number of failures in some projects is even counted in the tens of thousands."

"It can be said that those lunatics who pursue knowledge have long been accustomed to failure, and they are not afraid of failure..."

Hearing her words, Audrina said without thinking: "The same goes for us, right? In the past three epochs, every time has ended in failure."

"The end of the last era was the closest to success, but unfortunately it still failed."

"Oh? You think so?" Miriam looked at each other and asked with a smile in her eyes.

"Is not it?"

"Haha, if it was before that time, it would indeed have failed. But at the end of the last era, we had already succeeded."

"Huh? We succeeded?"

"Of course," Miriam smiled, not intending to explain more, and just said lightly: "It's just that you didn't know the goal that time and mistakenly thought it was a failure."

Audrina looked stunned, different goals?
So, at the end of the last era, everything she knew was to hide her true purpose?

"I do not understand……"

"I don't understand why you guys have to hide it?"

"Yes!"

Miriam asked with a half-smile: "When has 'Chaos' ever cared about us? They only have this world in their eyes, and we are just tools."

"you……"

Audrina took a breath. She didn't expect that she would speak so bluntly. This is not in line with her usual style, right?
"You are different from Kristan, and I am different from you."

Miriam gently raised her hand and waved it, sighing: "This world belongs to the ultimate winner, and the 'successful one' will eventually come!"

"..."

Audrina chewed on these words, her deep eyes reflected her, and she felt that she had never seen this "controller of chaos" clearly.

Isn't it the winner in the end, not the winner, but two people?
She doesn't understand...

"Don't ask too much, Audrina, just do the things in front of you first. If the Twilight Sect succeeds, the Forbidden Era will end and the world will be even more broken... That will save us most of the time. ”

"As soon as Christian opens his mouth later, I will go to the Cordo Sea area."

"It's not enough! Before that, pay more attention to the trends of those wizard schools. If they want to intervene, we may have to intervene in advance."

"Understood……"
