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

Chapter 340 Public execution!

"Is there really such a place?"

Wayne couldn't help but ask.

"This is what we want to know too," Eve shook her head and said, "In fact, it's not just us at the Church of Storms who want to know. The Red Moon Church, Despair, Abyss and Desire Sect in the Western Continent have all sent people there to investigate."

"Among them, the Red Moon Church even sent Archbishop Loredana Griffith to lead the two Saint Knights, 'Silver Moon' and 'Fantasy Dream', to go together..."

Wei En suddenly realized that he and Armitage had both thought wrong.

The purpose of the Red Moon Church, the Despair Sect, and the Abyss Sect when they went to sea was not to participate in the war between the Twilight Sect and the two pirates, but to go to the unknown island to investigate.

This is really an unlucky misunderstanding...

"What about the Glory Society? I heard that they also sent people to sea."

"Glory Club?"

"Okay, Wizard Wynn."

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at the burning progress of the candles in the lantern, and then took the initiative to end the conversation and said: "Saint Eve, it's not early, I'll be here tonight, and we'll talk next time."

"For example, the Silvera family in the northern continent, the Vinamoinen family and the Yordanov family in the eastern continent, the Palacios family in the southern continent, etc."

Seeing his interest, Eve said a few more words: "But the situation of the Glory Society is very complicated, and the continents are seriously separated. Just like the Silvera family you mentioned, they almost only operate in the northern continent. ”

"I forgot to mention that Flanda and others from the Black Pearl were killed by me a few days ago." Wei En said with a chuckle.

"But speaking of the Glory Society, we have to mention a few powerful families. Their strength can even rival the heretical sects."

The corner of Eve's mouth twitched slightly, and she said in a slightly disdainful tone: "Those old diehards whose brains have been eroded by the glory of the nobility should want to participate in the war between the Araniga and the Black Pearl."

Eve also smiled, "The Glory Society has a long history, and it can be traced back to the Turing Empire in the middle of the Third Era. However, at that time, the nobles were in their glory, and they were not called the 'Glory Society', but the 'Glory Society' ”

Eve looked at him blankly, thinking that this was what the real "disaster wizard" looked like.

After Wei En left, Eve looked at the castle with a calm expression. After a long time, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the Silvera family is also a member of the Glory Society?" Wei En asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I understand, thank you again Wizard Wynn."

"certainly,"

After all, that family had helped him...

He didn't gain much tonight, but at least he understood the purpose of the "Freedom" Saint of the Church of the Storms in coming to him.

However, the family that he considered to be the most powerful appeared in Wayne's mind - the Silvera family where Teresa belonged.

Wei En laughed dumbly. This approach was really in line with the style of the nobles.

He is not interested in the Glory Society, nor does he have a good impression of it.

"Victory is determined not only by strength, but also by background, vision, connections, etc."

Wei En smiled, waved his hand to cast the teleportation spell, and walked back to the castle.

"That's it..."

Eve's tone was more serious, and she said sternly: "These families are the nobles with the highest status and the strongest strength in the Glory Society."

"This is what they always do, betting on the winner in order to seek greater benefits. Well, in their words, it's called 'investment'."

"Besides, as I promised you before, just ask Mitra tomorrow and she will cooperate with you."

But looking at it now, he will inevitably have to come into contact with certain members of the Glory Society in the future, such as the Silvera family, which he cannot get around.

The most important thing is - he needs to improve his own strength to be strong enough!

"I don't know much about the Glory Society. I've only come into contact with them once so far. I didn't expect them to be like this."

He originally thought that "those people" referred to the Glory Society, but now after listening to Eve's introduction, he suddenly realized that it should specifically refer to some conspirators in the "Glory Society", right?

"Mitra?" Eve was stunned for a moment, "Is it Mitra from the Desire Sect?"

As long as those people didn't come to trouble him, he didn't bother to pay attention to those high-ranking noble families.

Wayne's expression was a bit confusing. He suddenly thought of the letter he saw a long time ago - the letter Menor wrote to Alais. He remembered that "those people" were mentioned in it.

"This is where they are smart and stupid," Eve said with a slightly helpless tone: "Usually they will bet on both sides. While 'investing', they are also reshuffling the cards."

"The purpose is to better inherit the bloodline of the nobles and strengthen the connection between the nobles. It is more of an alliance. It is not just profit-seeking and glory-seeking like now."

However, whether it is storm or dawn, as well as wizard schools such as ghost, blood spirit, and spiritual mystery, they can only be regarded as additional help for him now.

"If Wizard Wei En is interested in the Glory Society, I can take the initiative and provide you with relevant information." Eve saw his expression and suggested.

"What if they bet wrong?"

"In fact, except for business at sea, the core members of these families never appear on other continents to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"Oh?"

"Therefore, every time there is a battle for the 'Emperor' in the Pirate Code, a large part of the power of the extraordinary nobles will plummet."

Wayne shook his head and refused, "No, I just remembered something."

"Disaster Wizard" Wayne Loft is surprisingly easy to get along with...

……

……

Northern Continent, Ice Castle Research Center.

Under the red moon, this beautiful castle stands on the top of the snow-capped mountains, sparkling like a fairy tale reflected in the real world.

The cold wind howled past, mixed with some inhuman neighing, like sobbing or desperate wailing.

Vaguely, one could vaguely see countless corpses looming under the ice and snow in the ditch outside the castle.

Withered bones, stumps, and heads were mixed together, and more of them looked like zombie-like corpses. Their pale and bloodless faces were pressed against the ice, staring blankly at the night sky.

Over the ditch is a hundred-meter-long suspension bridge. The bridge deck is four people wide and crowded with hundreds of transparent ghosts. Their glowing red eyes stare at the black-robed wizards coming and going, as if they are identifying each other. their identity.

Sometimes they would also bow to certain wizards and say a few common words such as welcome and farewell.

Tonight, however, there were so many such words that some of the weak-hearted ones among them were on the verge of tears.

"Welcome the legendary wizard Lionel to the Frozen Castle."

"Welcome to the legend of Laurie..."

"Welcome Legend Asario..."

"Idiot, you called the wrong name, that's Legend Adelio!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I was wrong again..."

One after another, wizards dressed in exquisite black robes were seen arriving here through the teleportation circle outside the castle. Their expressions were either serious or calm, with different expressions.

But the only thing that is the same is that most of these black-robed wizards are older, and the youngest one also has a middle-aged look with a face full of vicissitudes of life. Among them, many wizards have more than a dozen origin sub-bodies behind their heads, flying up and down and smiling as they shuttle around them.

And after they arrived here, they didn't hesitate. They walked across the suspension bridge and entered the castle with a straight and steady pace, as if something important was waiting for them.

Not long after, no new wizards arrived outside. The miserable faces of the resentful spirits couldn't help but reveal sinister smiles. They sobbed as they raised the drawbridge and closed the gate of the castle.

"Welcome to the frozen castle, woo woo woo..."

……

At this time, the castle was no more lively than usual.

Even though many wizards came, it was still quiet here.

Except for some strange sounds coming from some research institutes where subject experiments are ongoing, the rest of the places, corridors, halls, atriums, and stairs are silent.

Those wizards walked among them like ghosts without flesh and blood, making no sound.

Apart from eye contact, there were no words between them.

Click.

Two hours passed before the bell on the top of the castle rang, and the huge and thick black stone door outside the tower was slowly opened by the steam machinery and the sound of gears turning.

The wizards filed in and sat in their seats without saying a word, looking directly at the man above them - Waclav Samuel Kapo, who wore sunglasses and had short gray hair.

After seeing all the wizards come in, Boras, who was at the bottom, tapped his cane and the door closed.

"chief?"

"Let's begin." Wakraf said coldly.

Boras nodded, and a little gray mist rose up from his body to form an illusory face. He tried hard to create a serious expression, tapped the table with his cane, and said:

"All the legendary wizards of the Ghost School meet again."

"Today, at the request of the chief wizard of Waclav Samuel Capo, there are several things that need to be disclosed to you."

"The first thing - the results of the disposal of the 'devourers' are announced as follows: the 'devourers' led by Annep and Kambra have secretly executed sixty-five people, including twelve legendary ones. , thirty-three great wizards, and fifteen official wizards.”

"The remaining five wizards will all be punished by being 'sealed'. And Annep..."

Boras paused, looked at Waklav and said: "The chief wizard will personally and publicly execute him!"

hum!
As soon as these words came out, all the legendary wizards present moved unconsciously, and the expressions on their faces became more solemn and serious.

They all knew what it meant to be executed by the chief wizard personally, so they did not dare to make any slightest move.

"Now……"

Before Boras could finish speaking, Wakraf raised his hand and said, "Okay, leave the rest to me."

Before he finished speaking, a crystal-white jade-like skeleton appeared next to him. There was nothing covering his body, and he looked very sexy.

Even if the skeleton stood upright, it was only as high as Waclav's knees. After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, two red lights blinked in its eye sockets, and its two rows of teeth kept opening and closing, as if it wanted to say something. .

No matter how hard it jumped or gestured, no sound came out.

At this time, many legends present recognized his identity, and many people exclaimed:
"The Legend of Annep?!"

"Is it Annep?"

"he……"

Wakraf ignored the astonishment of the other legends and stared at the skeleton with his eyes slightly moved. The sudden burst of breath instantly pinned him to the ground unable to move.

"I guess I don't need to introduce his identity anymore, Annep Soleimani, the legendary senior wizard of the secret system, the deputy director of the Ice Castle Research Center..."

"Unfortunately, he is also one of the core members of 'The Devourer'. He is a moth hiding in the Ghost School. He has devoured a total of twenty-three arcane wizards, two of them legendary, and twelve great wizards..."

Wakraf's voice was very low, with a bit of solemnity and coldness, and his pair of sunglasses reflected the figures of the legendary wizards one by one, silently shocking everyone.

"In the past, like the previous chief wizards, I didn't pay much attention to the Devourers. If I allowed them to hide within the school, maybe one or two demigod wizards would emerge."

"But I didn't expect that these bastards would dare to unite with others in an attempt to subvert the inheritance of the Ghost School."

"This is not considered an ideological dispute within the school, but a betrayal! It is a betrayal of the ghost, and it is a betrayal of the world!"

Having said this, Wakraf paused, raised a finger, and a strange magic circle appeared vaguely, covering Annep.

"Come on, let's talk about it. What are the conditions that allow you, a wizard with a noble status and powerful strength, to dare to betray the school?"

Annep didn't dare to stop at all and quickly got up. He looked at the legends present, then at his old friend Boras, and finally at the top position, and said stiffly:

"Crack, click, click... Chief Wakraf, please, please just kill me..."

"Of course I won't let you go, but it's time for you to answer my questions!"

"I, there is nothing..."

"Say!" Waklav lost his patience, opened his lips slightly, and let out a loud shout.

The voice seemed to have some kind of strange magic power, and it fell on Annep, making him tremble twice, and then the conversation changed.

"Yes, yes... He, they said, as long as he possesses the ghost, I can devour the wizards of the entire school and help me become a demigod..."

"He also said that some nobles from the Northern Continent will also help us..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the legends present changed, including anger, disappointment, and hatred. Some of them had bad tempers and wanted to kill Annep right now.

"traitor!"

"Annep, you are such a piece of trash!"

"..."

And Annep seemed to be aware of this result. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said:

"Your Excellency, I beg you to kill me. Please see that I have helped the school complete thirty-three projects and brought out the contributions of one hundred and forty-three official wizards. Please kill me!!"

The looks and words of the legendary wizards around him made him feel ashamed.

Even if "The Devourer" has no bottom line within the school, he still cannot accept such a gap.

"Huh, letting you come out is just to give you a chance to make your final contribution!"

With that said, Wakraf opened his hand with one hand and gave Annep a small shake.

The short skeleton seemed to be squeezed by invisible hands, curled up and crushed into a ball, and then the bones were broken and shattered one by one, and finally turned into bone slag.

The next second, a scream that sounded like it came from the depths of the soul resounded -

"On the path of pursuing knowledge, death is not the end! I, Annep Soleimani, take the first step!!"

All the legends paused, became serious, and sang in a low voice: "On the road of pursuing knowledge, death is not the end. Farewell to Wizard Annep..."

But Boras on the side turned his head, gray mist rose on his white jade-like face, a drop of mist dissipated, and clicked:
"This bastard will never rest in peace even after he dies..."
