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

Chapter 356: The Sacrifice of "The Source of Chaos" (please vote for me)

In the northern seas of Kordo, there is a large island that is comparable to two Chartland kingdoms - Red Moon Island.

The long and narrow island has a half-moon shape from east to west, and the terrain also goes from low to high.

It is like a primeval forest. Covered by tall and lush black plants, a meandering river flows from the highest point in the west to the east.

And facing the sea in the east, a brand new city-state rose from the ground, with knights wearing dark red armor standing on the four high walls.

The entire high wall was painted a bright red color, like thick blood pollution.

There is only one exit to the east in the entire city-state, which is guarded by hundreds of knights.

On the heavy iron door hanging under the high wall, a bright red full moon is etched. Below the full moon are the four continents and a simple outline - the symbol of the Red Moon Church.

From time to time, pirates or extraordinary beings dressed as nobles would come.

Whenever these people arrive, the priest of the Red Moon Church will take out the registration book with a smile, ask them to record their personal information, including name, origin, and extraordinary level, and then issue identity cards.

However, Edras still looked solemn. He was sure that he had entered the city through the iron gate under the high wall before.

"This is the shelter of the Red Moon Church, and the place where the great Lady of the Red Moon shines. It has been..."

Not only that, he also discovered another anomaly - all the knights around him seemed to have lost consciousness and stood blankly, not noticing his departure at all.

However, when he was about to ask for help from other people in the city-state, he found that he was back to where he started.

"Waiting for the others to arrive!"

At this time, the surrounding knights in dark red armor also moved their hands and feet, as if they were adapting to their bodies.

The blood-colored light shone like a full moon, protecting his whole body.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he silently recited a prayer:
"Blessed by the great lady of the red moon, you are the manifestation of illusion, the king of the sky that shines in the night sky, and the end of endless will..."

Edlas's face changed slightly when he noticed this, and a circle of bloody light suddenly shone on his body and entered the high wall.

A mocking laugh interrupted Edras's speech. He looked around, his expression stagnant, and then his eyes showed struggle, and he spoke with difficulty:
"Hong, Hongyue...will not forgive you...you..."

The next second, the pupils of Edlas' eyes quickly shrank, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Edras shouted low, but his face showed a slightly panic expression, and then he put his hands together to form a moon seal:
"Ring of the Moon!"

"Who is it, come out!"

Bishop Edras Korda, wearing a dark red robe with a golden moon symbol embroidered on his chest, looks very young and handsome, with long black hair, fair skin and eyes as bright as stars.

Edlas went through all the things he could think of that had similar extraordinary characteristics in his mind, and his forehead was covered with sweat from time to time.

"Yes, my lord!"

His eyes sometimes became the same as those of the knights behind him.

But soon, Edlas noticed something unusual again - the auras of the knights who had gone to check on the ship disappeared in an instant.

——A metal card with the Red Moon Church logo printed on it.

"How many people came today in total?"

After they left, Edlas glanced around and stopped at the port on the coast not far away, frowning slightly.

"Yes, Lord Bishop, I'll go right away."

But the next second, his eyes were dazzled and he was back to the starting point again!

"Ibañez, leave this to me for the time being. You first send the list to Her Majesty Miriam Roman. She will report it to Archbishop Loredana Griffith at noon."

"Go get a few people and check out the two-masted schooner on the fourth left."

"This is impossible!"

Edlas glared at him coldly and hummed: "Everything is the same as before, hide your identity and avoid being discovered by Hongyue."

"Sorry, it's Priest Edras." The knight quickly changed his words.

It is worth mentioning that most of the knights in dark red armor in front of him were also like this. Occasionally there are one or two knights with dark complexions who can be considered to have regular features.

"Ho!"

"Ho ho... Ms. Red Moon's followers really all have a taste of 'chaos'."

Edlas ignored the departure of a group of knights, but looked at the ship, feeling slightly uneasy.

Ibañez quickly led several Red Moon Knights through the high wall and walked deeper into the city-state.

It seems that only in this way can his soul be comforted.

"Nightmare? Time? Or..."

"Ok?"

"Master Bishop Edlas Korda, as of now, 432 people have been registered."

"who is it?!"

"Oh,"

"problem occurs!"

"Lord Christian, do you want to enter the city-state now?"

"Yes."

The knights quickly guarded under the high wall as before, and everything seemed to be unchanged from before.

Even the archbishop and saint of the Red Moon Church deep within the city-state were unaware of the abnormalities outside.

Edras looked in the direction of the high wall with a smile on his face.

The people from the Red Moon Church gave him a big gift!

No, it is a sacrifice to the great "source of chaos"!

But not long after, the expression on Edras's face returned to calm again, and he looked at the deep sea outside the port.

"The joint expedition of the three wizarding schools of Ghost, Spirit Mystery, and Blood Spirit. What will be their purpose?"

Twilight Sect?

Or is it their Chaos Sect?
Hope so!
In this way, there are three demigod wizards, Waclav, Ragnar, and Velosa...

Ho ho, I can have some fun!

……

……

Near midnight, Alexei Island became noisy again.

The pirates who were supposed to be enjoying the nightlife rushed out of various taverns and rushed to buy the Cordo Gazette that had just been sent.

"Latest news! Big news!"

"According to reliable information, the Frozen Castle Research Center of the Ghost School has dispatched thousands of wizards and undead creatures in the Northern Continent. The leader is none other than Thrall, the 'first legendary wizard under the demigods' who appeared on Alexei Island some time ago. Wattore Samuel Capo!”

"In the Western Continent, the Blood Spirit School almost followed the footsteps of the ghosts and dispatched a large number of Blood Spirit wizards and their vassal extraordinary families. The number of people is estimated to be more than ten thousand. The leader is the legendary wizard Phyllis Eli of the Blood Spirit School. Bic!"

"In the Eastern Continent, the Spiritual Mystery School has also moved to the west, but it is still unclear the number of wizards sent and the wizards leading the team..."

"It is still unclear where the three major wizard schools will meet. However, according to the predictions of the proficient prophet in the communique, it is likely to be Alexei Island!"

All the pirates who saw the end were completely unable to hold their nerve.

"Damn it, are the bastards from Kordo Gazette kidding? Are wizards really coming to this island?"

"Isn't it? I'm already scared..." "I think it's probably true. Looking at the entire sea, is there any island that is owned by a wizard like Alexei Island?"

"However, they can obviously find any island as a rendezvous point. Is there any island that will refuse to let them land? Isn't that asking for death?"

"Stop talking, everyone, let me take the first step!"

Just a piece of unconfirmed news directly caused the number of people on Alexei Island to begin to decrease sharply.

Even these people who left did not bother to make adequate preparations and hurriedly left Alexey Island by boat.

"How stupid!"

"Don't they know that having so many wizards here will greatly improve the security of Alexei Island?"

"Yes, even the two Saint Knights from the Church of Dawn and the Church of Storms are stationed here, why should we worry about those wizards?"

"Perhaps they are worried about being kidnapped by wizards and sent to a research institute?"

"..."

When the discussion reaches this point, the topic can no longer be discussed.

In fact, most of the extraordinary beings in the Cordo Sea rarely see wizards.

Except for those intelligence officers stationed by various schools of thought, some people did not encounter a wizard for a year.

Except for other continents in the Northern Continent, the churches that control city-states cannot promote the glorious image of wizards.

Of course, they don't dare to deliberately smear it. At most, they exaggerate "horrible experiments", "special hobbies", etc.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, wizards mean "mystery", "evil" and "disaster", and they are very terrifying extraordinary beings.

At this time, Ubli stood on the high wall, looking at the ships that were moving away and disappearing, with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Sir, more than twenty ships have left Alexei Island!"

"Just go, let everyone go."

"Pirates can be violent and murderous, but they have to learn!"

From Ubli's point of view, everyone on the island can leave, even those members of the nobility, pirate groups and sects who have just passed the application.

He didn't think that Alexei Island would become desolate and uninhabited just because there were fewer pirates and nobles.

At least as long as this island is still controlled by Wei En, there will be no shortage of wizards!
……

……

At the same time, in the theater space.

Wei En, who had been busy for nearly ten hours, looked at the things on the workbench and let out a sigh of relief:

"A little more nervous than expected."

On the mahogany workbench in front of him, the materials needed for the second phase of research on the mechanical undead were neatly placed.

There is a thick stack of research reports and records about the first phase, the materials for making the machine body and the Thrall metal needed to engrave runes, a more detailed experimental process for promotion, and the most important fusion materials.

According to Wei En's speculation, the first key point of the second phase of the research is the simultaneous improvement of the immortal body and the mechanical body as the mechanical undead advances to the director level.

The immortal body part is mainly reflected in two aspects.

One is the improvement of the first origin—the core of the undead origin, including the extraordinary abilities, spell-like or extraordinary-like characteristics of possible undead creatures, and the improvement of basic attributes.

On the other hand, it is the integration and improvement of the mechanical body.

Here, Wei En made various preparations.

The first is the strength of the mechanical body, which is similar to the toughness level simulated after the basic attributes are enhanced.

He borrowed this from the inherited knowledge related to mechanical transformation of the Mechanical School, which is to increase the strength of the mechanical body by swallowing metal ores or metal alloys.

Secondly, there is the superimposed imprint of the rune array.

However, this will test the researchers' attainments in runes, and the imprinting of the magic circle must be completed before the promotion ends.

The method is to use the power fluctuations during the promotion of the first source to drive the improvement of the mechanical heart and activate the new runic array. Most of his preparations are centered around this point.

The most optimistic scenario is that both the immortal body and the mechanical body part can succeed during the promotion process. In this way, the mechanical undead after being promoted to the director level will be much stronger than the undead creatures of the same level.

Wei En turned around and looked at the two mechanical undead that were devouring the original core of the undead with all their strength, and murmured:
"Hopefully there won't be any adaptability issues."

Although all undead creatures are of undead origin, their bodies are different due to changes in extraordinary characteristics.

Like Ms. Zombie, she possesses the talent of cannibalism, which gives her the abilities of death plague, fearful wail, and claw strike.

From this point, it can be determined that all undead creatures are individual and have different extraordinary characteristics, which greatly increases the risk of the research.

Although it is the optimal solution to use the core of the undead origin and the mechanical heart as the basis for the fusion of the immortal body and the mechanical body.

However, during the promotion process, will the originally stable immortal body become unsuitable for the mechanical body due to the promotion of the core of the undead origin?

Wei En didn't know, so he could only choose to make as many preparations as possible so that he could respond at any time during the research process.

With this thought in mind, he glanced at the time on the clock and calmly put away the things on the workbench.

The night bell rang at the right time.

"coming."

Wei En noticed a trace of space fluctuation and knew that Menor and others were coming.

But when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but frown.

"You're the only one here?"

Only Elder Menor of the Eternal Life Society appeared in front of him, and neither Black Jack nor Euan followed him.

"Feel sorry,"

Menoer shook his head, looked at him calmly and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about alone, so I came here first."

"Oh?"

Wei En raised his eyebrows, but he was secretly on guard.

After last night's battle, he was very afraid of Menor's extraordinary space abilities.

In particular, Wei En did not see the depth of Menor's strength from beginning to end, which made him have to wonder whether this was a deliberate attempt to hide his clumsiness.

Seeing his expression, Menor sighed inwardly.

Then, without any nonsense, he took out a book and put it on the mahogany table aside: "Wizard Wayne, I think it is necessary to explain to you clearly the reason why I helped Alais before."

"Although I know it's unlikely that you will forgive me, I want to say that I couldn't refuse his deal that time."

"trade?"

Wei En glanced at the book. Is this a sincere apology?
"Yes," Menor said in a serious tone: "It's just a deal for me and Ales."

Wayne didn't speak, looking at him calmly, waiting for further explanation.

Sincerity is a stepping stone that allows him to have a little patience.

But that doesn't mean he will forgive Menor for this.

——The reason is not the danger he encountered, but the trouble that Alais caused to Tina when he triggered the Kingdom of Disaster!
"Actually, Alais didn't tell me clearly the reason why he went to Castor City that time."

"It was only after I learned that he had obtained the 'Forbidden Object 0-91 Homecoming's bow' that I guessed that he was trying to deal with you..."

PS: Please give me monthly tickets, guys. It’s the last day. Double monthly tickets. I hope to get a thousand monthly tickets.
